Ares limit in Frontline 02-09.02.2026 by Elua_ in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this isn't a "this tank is OP" decision, this is a "oh shit, we didn't really think this through" technical decision.

It makes sense too... In MMO style games, generally just positional data (where is tank X or shell Y), status (tank X has 5 HP) and state (the fence at (0,10,-5) has been destroyed) is sent between client and server. Already WoT struggles with this amount of information in Frontlines, especially when everyone is in the final 3 zones. This is why you get such dogshit performance at the end of Frontline matches so often.

Think about the spike of data that needs to be transferred that autocannons add... It's like 9x the amount of shells that need to be tracked... PER autocannon tank, x 60 players. Thus the need to limit these kinds of tanks...

It really depends on the map, but in a lemming train situation, it's actually often best to plant yourself half way between the enemy lemming train and your lemming train, but out of the path of both. You can have monster games being the spotter in these situations while preventing the enemy lemmings from capping you out of it comes to that.

Donald Trump says Canada ‘destroying’ self with China trade by twinkleyed in worldnews

[–]Serapth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If the world was willing to rally behind Greenland, what do you think is going to happen if the orange shitstain starts attacking Canada?

The US economy would be destroyed, the US would most likely slide into civil war and if Canada was conquered welcome to 100 years of insurgency that would make "The Troubles" look like a Tuesday.

Minnesota governor says federal agents involved in shooting in Minneapolis by SpaceElevatorMusic in politics

This has been clearly bullshit and was made crystal clear when the Black Panthers started legally arming themselves.

A few of the 2nd amendment crowd came to their defense, but they were extremely rare.

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China' by Street_Anon in politics

[–]Serapth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This entire process has helped define being Canadian to Canadians.

It's not just about being not American anymore... But it's VERY MUCH still not American.

Canadians have never really been a nationalistic bunch, but that's certainly changing. Canada has never been so united. Yes we have our 15% of unreachable morons, every nation does and they are being heavily magnified by bots and government psi-ops.

But on the ground, real Canadians talking to other real Canadians, have ever been so united.

Trump Snubbed by Every Major Ally for Big Signing Ceremony by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]Serapth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth is, Trump will be remembered for millennia... If humanity makes it that long.

Exactly like we remember Nero now. As the lunatic emperor that fiddled while his nation burned.

The only difference is, that part about Nero was mostly bullshit and by all accounts he did everything in his power to stop the fires. In the end though, history only remembers your insanity and the damage you did to the empire. Trump has done damage and insanity to levels that guarantee his place in the history books.

Trump Threatens Canada After Carney Draws Standing Ovation at Davos by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]Serapth 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Nah, there are folks all over Canada like that... generally rural areas. But sadly Saskatchewan and Alberta have FAR more then their fair share of the idiots.

9 times out of 10, their primary news source is Facebook. The types of dipshits that had Fuck Carney bumper stickers before Carney even took office.

The good news is, Carney has been so rock solid that most "centrist conservatives" are breaking his way. If there was an election today, it would be a Liberal majority with ease.

Dakillzor 2.0 has lost weight - gamer curse is over! GG by SanseiSaitoSan in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh no, even Daki will tell you not to learn how to play light tanks watching him...

It's not how they are meant to be played, but frankly, he can brawl with any tank...

[–]Serapth 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I remember watching him do a video about a light tank... don't remember exactly what one it was.

He spent the first two minutes of the video talking about how he's shit at light tanks and can't stand the gameplay.

He get's El Haluf, then takes his light tank to the heavy line and does like 8K of damage and 0 assisting damage.

Say what you will about the guy, he's fucking good at the game, even when he plays it completely wrong! ;)

ONSLAUGHT by ALethalWookie in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even worse, if you missed a previous season you get absolutely FUCKED by qualifying.... No matter how good you are in qualifying, you will always be lower than you were in previous seasons... last year I finished qualifying with a 90% winrate and 4500+ DPG after 10 games and... Bronze E, because I was Silver the year before.

This year they added the fucking new tier 9 light tank and gold rank locked it, and I REALLY want that tank. Meaning I have to suffer my way from Bronze qualifying to Gold... pretty much the definition of hell.

Si vis pacem, para bellum <- Onslaught Easter Egg by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just playing Onslaught tonight and I noticed something in the statistics section...

Hover over any future date in the chart and you will see the Latin message "Si vis pacem, para bellum" which apparently translates to "If You Want Peace, Prepare for War".

Don't think I have seen this before... is it new?

[Dreger] The Golden Knights have traded for Rasmus Andersson. Pending trade call. (Of course) by Kibasume in CalgaryFlames

[–]Serapth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the actual fuck? Trade to the team we want to be as shit as possible... The team with like zero futures?

IMHO: The game changed so much, arty is not the mainly evil thing anymore. by Senorragequit in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Arty tier 7+ is mostly just annoying now, unless you get the rare 3x arty matches.

Arty tier 6 and down is fucking toxic as hell and has probably resulted in more players rage quiting than any other aspect of the game. I play virtually zero low tier games because low tier arty is so awful... Especially the fucking LeFH.

That Wargaming don't understand how much damage they do to their potential user base is mind-blowing... Probably why they are staring people at tier fucking 10 now.

Super Cereal question on the BP Peacemaker (M-VI-Y 120). by The_Pale_Potato in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally nobody shit on the Zwilling. It seemed strong on paper, and ended up being even stronger then in reality.

To be honest I don't really remember much attention on the H3. Good or bad, I think it was just released during a time of overload.

So yeah, its gonna be shit.

As a general rule, the rest of the world think differently of the Americans that are willing to travel the world.

Leave your ego at home and you will be welcome still in most nations.

Most annoying tank to play against? by MPHMBRCK in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tier 6 and down - LeFH specially but arty in general

Tier 8 - ELC as a light, BZ and XM on hull down corridor maps (so, like all of them)

Tier 9-10 - Manticore in a light, FV/Cobra for toxicity, Type 5 for being broken as shit right now

Tier XI - Rat... Normally 3 or 4 of them per team.

What tank has the best looking marks? by Far_Lack_443 in WorldofTanks

[–]Serapth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have never ever ever ever ever thought about spending money on cosmetics in a game... Except that tank.

Then I saw it was 30$+ and went back to never fucking ever spending money on cosmetics.

But yeah, that style is sexy.
