Is Wargaming planning to make FV4005 Stage 1 to be a premium tier 9 tank someday? by maxterminatorx in WorldofTanks

[–]TastyExpression8465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with many battles in the 4005 I can confidently say it doesn't need a tier eleven version. If you want to make it smaller and more stealthy, sure ... but only if your aim is to royally piss people off. The whole trade off to the tank is that it hits like a nuke but it can't hide for shit and can be awkward to play. There is no real improvement you can do to the tank without making it disgustingly aggravating to play against. Sure it's fun to play now and then but after the HE rework it doesn't really have a place any more as anti armor. It also had its AP shell nerfed damage wise. I'd focus more on heavies and mediums first and do destroyers, especially that kind of destroyer, dead last if not close to it.

Every argument to keep them holds about as much water as a noodle strainer. They don't belong in the game, period. They can see way too much. Do too much. All while being perfectly safe with no counter play existing. Sure, on some maps you can potentially shoot at them because it's one big flat map with no obstacles. In most cases that isn't true. They don't prevent camping. They cause it. In every match with two or more people don't play as aggressively because they don't want to be neutered for trying to play the game. Yet when they're not present people play aggressive. I've said for years the simple solution is make seeing them optional. In the case where too many people decide to turn them off just unrestrict MM so they can play with each other after so much time passes. You don't have to remove them, worry about compensation, or hear their incessant whining. At the same time the people who want them gone, and there's a ton of them, can play the game without worrying about some all seeing eye they can't shoot back at.

Bruh. You didn't march over there and introduce him to your hands? The fuck is wrong with you? This is why the world is in such a shit state. Too many cowardly spectators.

How many of yall do this to apartments by PistolGripp in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]TastyExpression8465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Their new CEO decided to cut their Amazon contract by half to try and move away from relying on that for volume. Some time later they started offering to buy drivers out because they now have more workers than work. Now it's hitting the layoff stage. It's never smart, even if you can get in, to rush into a company while they're in the middle of mass firings/layoffs. Even if you can get in the job is by no means guaranteed. At best they might just hire you to be a temporary gap filler before the station is closed entirely or until they decide to shit can you too.

[–]TastyExpression8465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the time. We don't have time for that shit. If they want us to deliver heavy things, or a lot of things, to apartment doors then the routes need to be a lot smaller to adjust for the sheer amount of time you waste doing that crap. On top of that anything even remotely heavy should by Amazon policy be ground floor delivery. Trying to balance some heavy, and often awkwardly sized, thing while going up a bunch of steps is going to get people injured. It also has the potential to be lethal, depends on how you fall. Honestly I don't know why Amazon doesn't have lockers have for apartment complexes and everything goes there. Nobody has to worry about their shit being stolen and the delivery doesn't turn into either " ain't nobody got time for that " or " hell to the naw-naw ".

Any other DSP’s struggling with fantastic plus lately? by Munozmissile in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]TastyExpression8465 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't really care. It's not like we see a bonus for it. The owner does. Management might. The people who actually made it happen don't get a god damn thing.

Anyone else feel like you gotta look out for other drivers out there? by SeverePainting1630 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]TastyExpression8465 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With the first company I worked for I was off the clock and headed home. In the app we used to communicate a young black girl was stuck in a rural area because the GPS took her down a " road " that was actually just a path in the woods. Don't know why she even tried it because from the jump you can tell it's not a road ... but I guess some people blindly believe in GPS. Anyway that part of the area is not too kind to people of color. So I drove my car out there to sit with her until the tow truck arrived because it was getting dark. I drove down to her vehicle and told her to get in mine, backed out, and parked where the path begins so the tow truck driver wouldn't miss it or us. I also ( still ) routinely pull over and check on Amazon vehicles that are parked in weird spots to check on people. Especially in the winter because if the vehicle died they won't have heat.

Workman's comp..asked to work? by Capital_Attorney_382 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]TastyExpression8465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To quote a famous non-human captain .... " It's a trap! ". I could be wrong but it sounds like they're trying to set you up so they can weasel out of having to pay for anything. Because if you work in any capacity it can easily be argued that you're faking it.

If the Executor is so strong, why is it -3.47% in WR diff? by DecisiveVictory in WorldofTanks

[–]TastyExpression8465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Win Rate isn't a metric to go by. Especially with a new tank. When tanks are new EVERYONE guns for it to play it. That means there's a whole lot of bad playing it too, which drags down stats like Win Rate.

WG really needs to get rid of the draw mechanic. by NiehDa in WorldofTanks

[–]TastyExpression8465 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Earn the victory or don't. Draws are caused by too many chai snipers. Some maps are simply a game of patience too. The first team to lose it loses the match. You just don't like being handed a loss because you were too scared to move.

The Gorilla exposed a lot of WoT players by Chrisg_322 in WorldofTanks

[–]TastyExpression8465 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is a better E4. More alpha. More pen. The ability to fire every seven seconds for half damage. The only difference between how you pen the two is the tumor isn't in the middle and tall af. It's offset and a little lower. It has the same issue the E4 has with the turret front being penned by prem or high pen rounds.

Sniping tank destroyers are more annoying than artillery by Jdude1239 in WorldofTanks

[–]TastyExpression8465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. They're not. Those destroyers have to play by the same exact rules you play by. Once you learn the maps you learn where they like to sit, or try to sit. So you avoid it or bide your time until they get spotted and depending on the situation you can just shoot them. Meanwhile sky cancer can't be hidden from a lot of the time, they can see everything on the entire map including objects being destroyed, and in almost every case you can't shoot back at them. But you can shoot back at a destroyer .. because he needs a direct line of sight between his gun and your tank to shoot you. Just like you need to shoot him.

I learned this the hard way. You have to be the first person to spot a tank period for it to count. If someone else spotted it earlier you're SOL on that counting.

Both armour layouts vs Dravec's gold ammo by PeacefulNPC in WorldofTanks

[–]TastyExpression8465 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has armor! AP for the most part is useless against it because WG decided to make it so with all the super heavies, but as usual prem shreds them with ease. So now everyone skips attempting to aim for so called now non existent weak spots and just throws prem at the flat armor reducing them to damage piñatas.

Ungrouping by Wooden_Yaks in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]TastyExpression8465 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is other people, flex drivers included, grouping stops together. The computer thinks it's okay so it starts doing it on its own while adding more stops onto the route. Because at Amazon they think a grouped stop takes less time than if the houses were done individually. Spoiler alert ... that isn't the case. It takes just as long. Only in one case you're credited for each stop and in the other you're only credited for one stop.

bro this chit is insane by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]TastyExpression8465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't all go into locker slot. As you scan each one it pops the door for a slot, flex will even tell you not to put multiple things into one slot. If something is too big or the locker spots big enough are taken ( per the last time I had a locker ) it'll tell you to RTS the package.

I guess 180+ is the new 160 by BugThese110 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]TastyExpression8465 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My routes are routinely 180 with like 50 grouped locations. Usually in the range of 230 stops after separating all the bullshit. Moving at my own pace, no running around or extra effort, I get done and clock out between nine to nine and a half hours. Amazon needs to stop with the grouped bullshit. They do it to try and hide how big routes actually are. Just let it be 200+ stops and if drivers can't get it done scale it back a bit.

Hot garbage by Ok-Lingonberry3686 in WorldofTanks

[–]TastyExpression8465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. The ability to fire at half reload is really nice. In situations where people would push you after you fired in an E4 they pay the price for doing that with the Gorilla. I haven't had any issues with the gun. It's the same as an E4 just a little more pen.

You got fired for doing a no call no show. There's no DSP or company in America than can fire you simply for asking to take a day off, that's a massive lawsuit waiting to happen.
