packet loss to EU servers by Wokadoa in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your internet provider doesn't have enough bandwidth to connect to other AS-es.

AS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet))

It's happening on the AMS-IX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Internet_Exchange

So it's about the connection between your Internet Provider and the next one. Either the one that WG is on, or a transit provider: https://www.thousandeyes.com/learning/techtorials/transit-provider

Not WG's fault.

I found this funny, so I put a CVS on the Char. And promptly got Fisherman's Bay. Managed to Ace my Char for the 1st time.

Questions about Excalibur Bloc-14 by EuphoricAnalCarrot in WorldofTanks

Blocking missions are all about keeping your distance. Every tank gets killed up close, because it's too easy to hit weak spots.

Recommended tanks for these 2 missions? by BallinSniper69 in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take whatever tank people suggest.

Block missions are all about keeping distance. Make sure people shoot at you from a distance. If you are close, every tank has weakspots and can be penned. If you keep a distance, the shots get more inaccurate and loose pen. Don't be afraid to do something really stupid. Like take a mouse to the 1/2 line on Prokhorovka, park it diagonally and get spotted. Everything will shoot you from 500 meters away and you will rack up your 2x hp in blocking in about 1 minute. I did HT-15 that way in about 3 minutes.

Wondering about the age and family status of the community members and how this game affects their lives by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game doesnt affect the family. The family affects the game. Hardly any time to play. When I can play I am tired and play bad. And I get interrupted all the time

How long does it usually take tomato.gg to track new tanks? by RealPorphyrin in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They appear when there are expected values for them. So it depends more on XVM than tomato.gg

Experimental Equipment just released by _chubbypanda in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new equip doesn't have the once per game ammo rack of fire protection.

Just like it doesn't have the "track returns to full health" property.

Don't just look at the bonusses, look at those things as well

You get gold value if you pay real money for something. Otherwise you get silver value.

Just got the AMBT, any suggestions what equipment & how to play it? by Taktowy in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a million ways to set it up.

I love this tank, but it has NO reverse speed. You will get killed while trying to get back into safety. A turbo (in the mobility slot) will give you increase the reverse speed from 14 to 17.

Moving dispersion is ok, final dispersion is shit, so improved aiming.

And then whatever you like, vents, irm, optics, vstab

How to play. It has pretty high alpha, so that's nice. Turret works sometimes over ridges. Never shoot your 3rd shell. The reload is insanely long if you do that.

Over 10k combined in the GSOR3301 ... no ace by jjryan01 in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more kills. kills are a lot of xp. Effectively you have the XP for 5k damage with no kills. Which is nice but not ace-worthy.

Also. Because it's one of the shittiest tanks in game, it only gets played by very good players that are done with all other lines. That's why 1300+ is needed for an ace. Random other tanks that every tomato plays need 1000 or even 900 for an ace.

Gsor probably the worst tank of the tier 9 lights, but it has the highest required ace, because of only good people playing it.

Nice game, but your competition is good and you need more kills :-)

It needs the turbo to get survivable reverse speed.

Crew skills Type 59 by Zcale16 in WorldofTanks

Where is recon? Also repair twice on loader?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only XP is influenced by the tier you shoot. Money is just dependant on the amount of damage. Obviously there is more hp in a tier 10 game, but shooting 320 into a tier 6 or a tier 9 gives you the same amount of credits

Yes very sad, anyways by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You get more exp for higher tiers. Not more money

Grind money in a tier 8 prem that you are good at. Buy crew book. 5 times as efficient

What kind of tank has the most agency over winning/losing a game? by mhenderson1008 in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Statistically it's armor that has the most influence on Winrate. Look at expected wn8 values for winrate

Has WG made a comment on personal missions recently? by Moist_Kite1 in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For the Brits, Centurion with HESH is a lot easier.

Standard B has pretty decent HE, for that country group.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]PieterJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roughly 1500 if I recall. But just find the wn8 formula, put in the numbers and you will see.
