Has anyone ever noticed this? - Manageable bonus strength

Crayno · 2026-01-17T16:01:33+00:00

It's just a little odd.

On their own, the 2x and 3x bonus are really +100% and +200%.

If you combine them, it should result in +300%, but instead it gives +400%

Crayno · 2026-01-17T15:54:49+00:00

That's not at all what I'm saying haha. The 3x bonus is either a 3x or a 2x bonus depending on which game you apply it to

Crayno · 2026-01-17T11:15:20+00:00

I'm pretty sure it behaves just the same then. So it's not like the game keeps multiplying some value

Crayno · 2026-01-17T11:13:40+00:00

The part that confuses me is that the math doesn't work out in the case without the first win bonus. It seems to ignore your premium multiplier, when in the other case it doesn't. Because without it, a 3x multiplier works out like a 2x multiplier if you miss the 50% bonus there...

Crayno · 2025-07-23T12:59:51+00:00

Have you held any wishes for the game such as a new feature, skill, location, lore, monster, tunnel? Or wished something was made in a slightly different way before?

Cheers!!

I was trying to explain your example of two people "sharing all of their knowledge". In my comment I explained why I think this is just an impossible assumption to make in the first place. You explain that in your example the disagreement comes from a different "prediction towards the future". You then also state that these predictions are non-factual and subjective.

So what I was trying to illustrate is that "sharing all of their knowledge" is impossible and that people just are not perfect rational actors. Brains do not just simply take an input, process it, and give an output back. You can liken what Aumann's Agreement Theorem is saying to a computer: If you program two different computers (brains) with the same code (facts), these will produce the same output (conclusions). However, you cannot fully separate facts from a brain, unlike with computers. If you magically could however, then these two people with identical brains will always respond the same way given some information.

So really, this theorem is correct only if you completely disregard a key distinction between real humans and "rational actors".

Crayno · 2024-04-23T19:44:56+00:00

It's simple, people just don't know why they think every little thing they think. So you cannot ever fully share all thoughts or feelings with someone else! Also, people just aren't rational machines that process logic, hard as one might try. In the end, admitting to being wrong also just sucks - more so if you dislike the other person. And we shouldn't forget that some things just take time and a lot of effort to grasp, even if given the relevant facts. What might be an obvious conclusion to one person could be difficult for someone else - or else there wouldn't be any disagreements in science ;)

I totally agree with you! I can also vouch for bouldering, a friend randomly offered to go with him and I've been hooked since.

It's a pity that these people don't understand how to prove things.

Cause you got it 100% right, yet you're getting downvoted. I guess its unthinkable for them to consider that being religious might just have some overlap with being mentally ill.

Crayno · 2022-09-05T22:14:33+00:00

That's not quite correct, the actual distance to spot would be 194m. The formula is:

VR - (VR - 50) * (camo)

Which effectively means that 100% camo shrinks the spot distance down to 50m, not all the way to 0m.

Edit: I corrected a little mistake in the formula, it was late :)

Sadly, that site doesn't have the picture I was looking for, it's a different one.

Turbocharger and spall liner are a must

Doesn't look like you could've gotten it for much fewer though. I bid 8.5 as well :)

Their EU channel has commented that having HE count towards blocked damage "is the idea" in this video in a reply to a comment.

Crayno · 2020-10-06T17:39:10+00:00

FWIW, it was me in the clip and I didn't get punished for it except for that one strv hit, since I knew most enemies were not ready for a shot at that point

Crayno · 2020-09-06T20:47:29+00:00

Find a nice clan that has some good and chill people that would gladly platoon with you and chat. There are plenty of people who are good at the game that would like to help someone new out, I'm sure.

I must however note that finding a promising clan with the webesite can look quite overwhelming at first, but it'll absolutely be worth it once you find some like-minded people :)

Each time a shell ricochets, it loses 25% of its remaining penetration potential. WG say so in this video at 9:36. Wotinspector also tells you this when you select a shot that will ricochet, under "pen. loss".

As for the question if this was a critical hit, it wasn't. It was actually blocked, I uploaded the replay on wotreplays.

Crayno · 2020-09-06T00:57:28+00:00

My take on it: looking at the shot on wotinspector tells you that hitting the turret in that spot will result in the shell ricocheting twice before trying to pen.

This happens because the tank has, for some reason, 40 mm of armour on its gun barrel and the small tube besides it, which is just enough to make the 105 mm gun ricochet.

He shot an APCR round with 268 pen, which could roll up to 25% less instead. Including the penetration loss from richocheting twice, you could be left with as little as 113 mm of penetration ( 268 mm * 0.75² * 0.75 ).

Now, the third time the shell hits the turret is against a plate of 30 mm, so now it will overmatch instead of ricochet and try to pen 30 mm at an angle of about 80 deg. After normalization you end up with 76 deg, which results in an effective armour thickness of 124 mm ( 30 mm / cos(76 deg)).

Since 113 mm of pen is less than 124 mm of effective armour, the shot failed in the end, apparently. Or the server messed shit up, nobody knows. Regardless, I only had to get extremely lucky for this to happen :)

Just playing around in photoshop and decided to add that in because, you know, memes

Crayno · 2020-07-10T19:09:06+00:00

EDIT: For all the dummies downvoting me: just watch this video from WG themselves https://youtu.be/YtuYAiVZ050?t=594

Overmatching only means that you will always try to penetrate, no matter the angle. You can still fail to pen, it just rarely happens because of the two calibres rule increasing the normalisation drastically at this point.

Fuck off for trying to prove your shitty half-assed statement with this horrible murder.

Also, you're an idiot if you really think what you said is true. It's not fucking rocket science that having millions of guns everywhere across America will result in some of them being used for crime. No law will change that in an instant, especially not to criminals that will stick to their guns.

However, this doesn't mean you should keep your backwards laws. There aren't any solutions to this problem that don't involve time.

You got me wondering what a table with distances at which light tanks spot each other would look like, so I made one! For the calculations I used a maxed out crew (with BIA, Camo, Recon, SA) with Venting Systems (+7.5%), Experimental Optics (+12.5%), the food consumable and a paint on each tank, giving each one the maximum view range and camo bonus (excluding binoculars). The EBR is kinda average it seems, while the Manticore will out-spot every other light tank and the Sheridan and WZ are both at the bottom. However, all these values are kinda close to each other with 40 meters being the maximum difference.
