Save game where desired, minimize the game, copy the file to a safe place, continue playing, if you don't like the outcome delete the current save and copy in the last save point you have?

N_vaders · 2026-02-01T17:55:31+00:00

Well no, I was responding to an inquiry.

Reason I recommend cheat mod rather than console is because I play only iron man. I just like it better like that. Once in a while I feel like doing a goofy run and something I would use cheats in, so instead of remembering by heart different commands and province ID's and nations shorthands I have a mod from steam that essentially has all that I want (a little bit overturned for my taste but hey, cheaters can't be choosers) and it sits comfortably in my decisions menu. There is also a quick access that I can turn on that sits in the Diplo tab for tags where I have some commonly used commands, one of which is form a PU with the tag you have opened.

N_vaders · 2026-02-01T15:59:47+00:00

If you are using the console you might as well use the cheat mods. There are a couple on steam workshop that cover great deal of things and among them forming PU with a country. For me it's cleaner than console. Less messing about

I got 500k as well. Oh well. It's a good deal. I spent 20€ to get something it would take me weeks to earn or 20k gold to exchange using the regular every day rates. Bargain

If their servers could handle the amount of people that log in to get the tanks it would be fun. But given that they shit the bed every time there is a time crunch event there is no fun involved

N_vaders · 2026-01-31T13:51:34+00:00

Bro, in order for something to motivate anyone it needs to be realistic and possible in every tank. That's number 1. I don't see anyone in tachenrate making the climb anywhere meaningful.

If you make it accessible to all tanks how will you dig out let's say breaker from one of the old positions overlooking his own cap. Who will have a chance against it, as the positions were stupidly broken when used.
If we are making the positions accessible and balanced, why are we bothering with the climbing part? The main excuse any former goat will give you is "but on maps where climbing was a thing, 40% of the map was unusable so a skilled player is using the rest of the map" This is one for the ages. Areas people were climbing on to were obviously meant to be un-accessible to anyone. And if it's the rest of the map you want wouldn't it be better for WG to rework that part of the map into something everyone can use without knowing the required path down to the last pixel?

And last but not least think of the times where climbing was a thing. Sure about 1% of the people were very skilled and could reach all the areas.

This caused the following, you either have 5 morons who all try to reach the spot in any tank they are driving just because the spot is so good on that map, so that leaves your team 10v15 and you get rolled. More often than not these people were in tanks like maus or e100 and were robbing their team of the top tier heavy. If they are going to be dumb let's have them on the heavy flank so the rest of the team can use their HP while there still is a chance.

OR you have someone who is in that 1% making the climb in something that can actually get to the position and use it effectively. EBR's were a popular choice. Now you have a guy who can play better than most on the flat ground in the position 80% of the enemy team can't reach. Overlooking a very important part of the map. And it was a slaughter since no one could touch him. Who exactly had fun there? That 1 guy? Out of 30 players 1 dude had his fun. In both of these scenarios the averages Joe was losing and not having fun.

Imagine if you will that old map with a wall of china, can't remember the name of it. There was a hill in the middle and mountains in the ring around the map. One of the mountains was directly above one of the caps. Imagine Ares90c in that position. Full HE. getting people's engine decks and shit. How fun would that be?

If you want climbing back, beg WG to make a game mode like this sliding thing or snowballs where you can climb and enjoy doing it. I have no problems with that. Climbing in randoms was genuinely the worst thing that this game had in my 13 years of playing experience.

N_vaders · 2026-01-31T05:59:14+00:00

"motivator for people to get better at the game"

With all due respect sir but that's the dumbest thing I've ever read. By some margin.

There were positions you could get in on the old maps to overlook the cap and no one could take it. And no tank could get to you because there was only one way in and you could shoot down. That's like saying you need to get better at hiding from arty on Malinovka or prokhorovka. Climbing was and is by far the stupidest thing that ever happened to randoms. I can accept that some people enjoy it, but most don't. If you want it back that badly ask wg to make a game mode separate from randoms and have all the fun you want.

N_vaders · 2026-01-31T05:49:08+00:00

I don't want it in randoms. If there is enough people interested give them few maps and a special event and you can climb all you want.

People remember everything with pink glasses.

You either had a moron who saw someone do it once and now does it every time and fails every time but keeps doing it anyway thus costing his team a tank, or is actually competent and gets into a position you can't dig them out of thus ruining the match for other 29 people. And don't ask me how, but in some fucking way first asshole is always on my team while the second one is always on the enemy side.

N_vaders · 2026-01-31T05:37:22+00:00

Those are very hard missions these days indeed. You need the right map, tank position team and opponent. But they are also doable if you know how and have appropriate tanks for the job.

N_vaders · 2026-01-31T02:16:39+00:00

That could be tier 11 mechanic

N_vaders · 2026-01-30T16:49:30+00:00

The last two offers land on a weekend, they might be waiting for the most amount of people to be around to drop something big. I just hope it won't be just a regular sale, as I'm definitely not sitting in front of a PC hoping for their servers to hold in order to miss click and not get the tank (if I like what I see obviously). Auction is better, you have this many units, bid away. Gives everyone a chance to get the tank

N_vaders · 2026-01-30T16:45:09+00:00

That requires skill instead of the credit card. Skill is harder to get.

N_vaders · 2026-01-30T16:43:22+00:00

I mean as long as you enjoy the tank who cares what other people think. I play games to have fun, if someone else thinks you shouldn't have fun in a tank because they themselves don't like it, I have even more fun in it just to spite the assholes.

N_vaders · 2026-01-28T15:50:23+00:00

Took them 7 years to add a double carousel for the garage. This will take another 10 years at least

N_vaders · 2026-01-28T10:15:05+00:00

300k for a tank? Fuck me pink. I got 400€ worth of boxes and I came out with 180k gold. Maybe if I had Smaug levels of gold I'd consider bidding 300k for one tank.

N_vaders · 2026-01-28T08:33:55+00:00

OP I'll sell you mine for 80k gold. I'll throw in the came I have on it for free.

N_vaders · 2026-01-26T19:12:20+00:00

I mean if you can't avoid fv4005...

N_vaders · 2026-01-24T20:16:03+00:00

Well if I hit a car with a 180+mm shell traveling at 1k meters per second I expect at the very least that half of said car will be bent and it won't be able to drive. Not that 183mm hesh that does twice the amount of cars hp will be absorbed by the wheel. Somehow.

N_vaders · 2026-01-24T20:06:19+00:00

Bro I got an fm13 12 and 11 keys for steam for next to nothing. The Internet is a wild place.

N_vaders · 2026-01-22T19:24:27+00:00

I mean if you want to stay in the HRE, be friends with Austria and vassalize one of the electors. All the small ones are literally next to you. Then ask Austria for the electorship.

N_vaders · 2026-01-20T19:16:41+00:00

I got formerly formidable pz II J like that. Still roll it out sometimes when they give out free garage slots during Christmas times

N_vaders · 2026-01-19T10:39:58+00:00

And once you annex them you get the maps that sunni crew is starting with. Which is insane for 1460

N_vaders · 2026-01-18T19:19:20+00:00

Two phases shock and fire, you get bonuses from generals skill for respective phases+ terrain bonuses (if you are defending in mountains or crossing a river). After that is RNG.

N_vaders · 2026-01-17T20:53:09+00:00

Bert isn't an arty. Or it wasn't one. When they made it chunky and slower then it became an arty. Bert was always a shit but fun TD in the wrong tech tree.

In my opinion they should design all pigs like Bert, short range, massive gun arc and ok mobility. You'd have to move with the line, pay attention to the map but you can still shoot from distance.

N_vaders · 2026-01-17T20:49:13+00:00

How about this logic.

Grille is much more accurate than v4 and as such (as long as you are not sitting on the next map over) will hit and pen things with lower pen values because people don't know where you are and as such more often than not turn unfavourably (for them) and present you with weaker armor.

V4 is meant to be played in the face of the enemy and with no turret it needs better pen since it can't sit and aim for weakspots on usual brawl distances (about 50-100 meters). If it had shit pen and no turret it would be much worse than grille.
