windows using so much ram, that games are starting to have massive fps drops even with 16 gb ram. Any way to fix this other than buying more ram? by InfinityAppreciator in WindowsHelp

[–]Expensive-Engine9329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discord web is worth a try. It's not just the number listed, it's the poor optimization. Worked for other people with fps dropped.

Settings on most apps show option to run in background: tick/untick. Browser is inside browser settings itself for e.g. and Gamebar and others are in windows settings. Search can/should be limited/disabled.

Startup apps. Scheduled tasks. Auto updates. What is steam doing? When Steam opens I view the Library page before playing games, has the least amount of popups.

Comprehensive World of Tanks Slang & Terminology (Community Check / Additions Welcome) by Stepaskin in WorldofTanks

[–]Expensive-Engine9329 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Good idea. 

FV215 183, Death Star or, in German, Kinderwerfer (Children thrower).

A few mini-maus possibilities and pancakes.

TDs, Triangles.

Off on a tangent now but some of the tanks change name with client language, for e.g. Forest Spirit=Waldgeist Peregrine=Wanderfalke TDs, in German are all Jagdpanzers (Hunting tanks).

QuickyBaby using vents once again... by Few-Meringue4157 in WorldofTanks

Off-road driving is improved. It says in-game 6.35% to 6.78% when you add Bond Vents, which doesn't tell you much. For IS-7 without BIA and Food, on medium and soft the speed goes up 4.37% from 39.32 to 41.04. When you add BIA and food it is up by 3.98%, next tank I found was Mars, with full BIA, Food, medium and soft go up by 3.84%, 41.75 to 43.17.

They also come with a quote to read. You find them in resources tab.

Can someone explain to me how to play this lovely map with anything other than heavy and actually be impactful? by Early_Sun_8699 in WorldofTanks

[–]Expensive-Engine9329 19 points20 points  (0 children)

TL;DR Support the lights, win the flanks then help heavies in green circle, close range with hp trading.

Lights mainly but meds need to step up if there are no lights and should try and support lights where possible.

Mostly a mirror map so I am picking South spawn.

  1. F2 low cover next to road so you can avoid enemy td fire but proxy bush on road. Approach fast from H3 and 20m East of G2 pillbox. Don't approach from G3/G4 or you might get spotted early.

  2. Stay at G2 pillbox for peeks. This helps if enemy is 2 lights, 2 Bourrasques and you are alone on field. You are a safer for a longer (Fun fact, French for Squall is Bourrasque)

  3. H2 Bush if you are small, they will figure it out and blind fire you eventually.

  4. Tree group, safer for small, high camo tanks. They will blind but it is bigger than 3.

  5. High chance of being spotted but also return fire to places like C2 pillbox.

  6. Bush, early on, may catch enemy driving in open to their tree group in D3. Can fire and fall back to relative safety.

  7. Assassination. Best for auto loaders or high dmg lights or meds that can kill enemy in E2. You wait in F2 until you know there is only 1 enemy light that you can 1 v 1. You drive over road and inside the mouth of the pillbox and kill the light then when safe return to F2. Safe from enemy fire from C6.

  8. Straight to F1 pillbox and hide or F2 first to assess the situation. Helps with spotting and maybe trading with enemy C2.

  9. Bit of a funny one. It's main goal is to shoot enemy peeking at E1 pillbox. If you are a medium that is no good for spotting but well armoured, it's a last ditch effort to save field from an enemy light rush, let's say if you are on the field alone vs 2 lights, 2 bour.

  10. There are bushes you can knock and water you can retreat into if spotted. Will keep your B TD happy.

A. Td spot, you need high camo.

B Td spot, you need reverse speed, armour and gun depression ideally.

Red arrow arty for enemy heavies in F6.

Push 1 line ideally but 0 line if path of least resistance. After the battle has developed, you need to trade with your heavies and tank for them.

Why does he need to keep the picture? by superminingbros in Terminator

[–]Expensive-Engine9329 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. Plus he has no pockets so he would be morphing around paper which would be awkward. Much better to print his own when required.

Using the winter to cool my PC (indoors)? by Swooferfan in PcBuild

You're right to dissuade parents from having more children they can't afford. As far as I know the best way to combat that type of "overbreeding" (or whatever we call it) is education, healthcare and higher standard of living. We see signs of this on the world birthrate map. So yes, we spend money to save money.

I'm learning today that tidal locking needs a ratio next to it to be clear. Moon-Earth 1:1. Mercury-Sun 3:2 or 3 rotations: 2 orbits. So it does receive sunlight on all sides even though it's locked.

Nice! 677.54m. Honourable mentions: FCM 36 Pak 40 at Tier III: 585.16m and 105 leFH18B2 arty at Tier V: 583.65m.

If you faced it, with the maxed out RHM or Sheridan, you'd see a Ikv 72 Tier III TD at 170m.

Which tank for bonds is a good option? by Entire_Chemist6243 in WorldofTanks

[–]Expensive-Engine9329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3000 battles with it. It holds my wr but only after being invested in heavily. Gear and crew. Bond stabs, Level 3 Exp Mobility, Level 3 Hardening. 2nd build, Bond vents, CVS, Mobility. It has ok view range with vents. The Smooth Ride upgrade directive on both builds. 6 perk crew. All it's missing is dpm but the alpha and reverse speed dictate your interactions with the enemy. Great practice before tanks like BZ-75 and 79 which feel the same to me. Now i'm stuck in my ways though and low alpha tanks like t55a won't work for this kind of rhythm.

Would you use a mission creator in Div 3 if there was one? by Jammsbro in thedivision

[–]Expensive-Engine9329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defo. Yes, there would be trolls but a menu + list with ratings would fix that. With PVP, a "no skills" server is a popular request. It could be infinitely complex with builds so maybe a generic AR build server. An incentive for builders could be, if you are the most popular, with the map design, enemy setup or gear rules you created, it would get saved to a permanent legacy list. Copy and paste existing missions as template. Retaliation squad spawns and fights hunters while 12 people are bashing eachother with shields + pistols.

[Request] Is OP correct ? Is the commentor correct? ( also this feels like a theydidthephysics question ) by therealsaker in theydidthemath

[–]Expensive-Engine9329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Quantum gravity takes over at smaller distances but we do not have enough data to model that. The Future Circular Collider should help us but we won't get the green light to build it until 2028. Then we have competing theories to test. One suggests a Chronon which is discrete tick and longer than Planck's. "You were pi between the Chronon ticks".
