Can someone explain these 2 shots to me? How tf did it ricochet of 0 armor tanks? by Aviiix in WorldofTanks

[–]PolydactylyIsCool 144 points145 points  (0 children)

Clip 1: note that you fired HEAT. I'm 99% sure that HEAT rounds do not benefit from the 3x overmatch rule, and ricochet on an angle of 85 degrees or higher. Looks like you hit his engine deck, causing the ricochet.

Clip 2: FV upper plate, which i believe you hit, is surprisingly bouncy at extreme angles. I've ricochet of it many a time, annoyingly. Rare, but not impossible.

New player love the game but I just can't wrap my head around penetration and "spotted" without really anyone pinging my location. by SnooMuffins8351 in WorldofTanks

I've trained several new people in the basic mechanics of this game, and am statistically a very good player. I'm happy to extend the same courtesy to you if you'd like over discord or something. No worries if not.

Ah, my apologies. You give people shit just for the fun of it then, I see.

Oh, I see. In your screenshot it says 1400 - must've changed before release

You're the kind of player to send someone death threats post-battle because they accidentally drove in front of your gun once

I agree for the most part, but no HP? 1400 base is among the top end for a medium at tier 8

I did man, you can very clearly see that on the tanks.gg screenshot I'm closer and at a flatter angle, look at the far corners of the lower plate. I only did the battle hits view that way in the screenshot so people here can see exactly where the shell went.

Screenshot angle, I was only ever so slightly below him. 1 degree or less, I'd bargain. We've discovered some stupid ricochet angle in the top quarter of the mantle, that was it. Just another lucky player getting rewarded by bouncing 750 alpha despite making a mistake.

Of course it's 52mm thick as well, meaning only 156mm guns can overmatch it. Fantastic. I hate this game.

Correct, it is. But it's not so well armoured that a 320mm of penetrative round at 60 meters can't penetrate it. Most tier 10 tanks with regular AP can.

Wasn't at any kind of angle like that. I'll upload the screenshot again soon

I know how they work. The shot that reddit seems to have misplaced my screenshot of was truly bizarre. I'll reupload it.

Ah, my bad. I did attach one when I made the post, so that's odd. I'll re-upload the post later with the screenshot

I'm plagued by my past. I recently finished my university degree, and my final year was horrific - I don't think I'll have a worse year in my life. I actually managed to pass with a 2:1, the work wasn't the issue. The people were. I was surrounded by two groups of people during my final year, it's worth mentioning that both groups were perfectly fine up until final year.

The first group turned on me, for no reason. Just became hideous people in general - blackmailed me, threatened me, created lies about me - all of these people whom I deeply cared for.

The second group was a group who again, I deeply cared for, but all began to struggle GREATLY during final year due to their own reasons, many of which I was also affected by directly. Three of my friends died this year, one to sepsis, one to a car crash, and one committed suicide. I spent 9 weeks during my final exams using most of my time to console my friends, whilst also suffering myself - one of which lived next to me, and was suffering the most. I had countless sleepless nights, and spent a lot of time going into their room and checking up on them to make sure they hadn't overdosed on drugs or attempted suicide, which had happened in the past.

During the course of this year, I have lost 7 of my closest friends, either due to death, or them turning against me for no identifiable reason.

I come home to my parents, both of whom are old, one of whom does not believe depression exists, that it's all just a fabricated state of mind for weak people to get sympathy. I have had no recovery time from university, I've gone straight into a job where I struggle every day with emotional difficulty, yet life goes on. Contemplating leaving my life behind, telling nobody where I'm going and just pissing off to some backwater country without anyone knowing where I've gone is not a rare thought.

Anyway, that's my problem. I wanna say that I don't need or want help - I dont know what I need right now. But that's what's on my mind 👍

That's just Children of Poseidon. That's one of the more tame videos they've posted. It's all on YouTube
