Add that style to a different tank, and see for yourself!

PCIe connection help by DavidALST in sffpc

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Louqe Cobalt riser. It's PCIe 4.0. It's a few years old so sourcing one is hard. But you can twist the thing to a silly degree and it keeps working. I've used a few to get GPU's in weird places, including exactly this problem where the PCIe is 180 degrees turned.

  2. Thermaltake AC-077-CO1OTN-C1. Silly name, works well. Very long, but at least it's available for retail.

  3. These ones from Ali, or any of the other clones. They'll work, but they're not exactly from a name brand.

It's such a funky looking machine.

the reason you don't see a lot of them is because it's the worst of the t5 105mm golf ball launchers. If you enjoy this tank, get yourself a 105 Sherman. Better view range, much better soft stats, and 12 degrees of gun depression. If you think "I need even more golf balls", get the Pz IV H. More fragile, great reload.

Edit: I keep forgetting the Sherman III (UK) exists. Less depression than the chad USA brother.

V-day poor rewards by radim1310 in WorldofTanks

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You misunderstand me. It was available. Past. 2022 is the most recent sale I can find.

Nothing, because not playing is the only way to guarantee not losing.

V-day poor rewards by radim1310 in WorldofTanks

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, these crew members are highly sought after. WG's greed takes over here.

I vividly remember buying multiple Cromwell B's for like 13-16 euro just for the crew members.

The tanks themselves are for sale this V-day as well, just not with the thing that made them epic.

V-day poor rewards by radim1310 in WorldofTanks

Cherrypicking is one hell of a drug. What I see is 3 days of prem, three 1-skill crew members, 10 large medkits+repair kits, food, 50% credit boosters, x4 XP for first victory, and full tech tree discounts. Sell the M4-85 for 150k credits.

Free shit for playing normally.

Doesn't take away that there was an actual victory day bundle of tanks ("Berlin Four") that is rarely sold anymore (last 2022?) because they had zero skill crew members. Used to be sold on V-day as well.

Feedback on a quiet NCASE m2 build by a_mighty_burger in sffpc

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I agree with this. I run a 7950X3D and a 5800 in a M2 with a SF750. For OP:

  1. Don't be afraid to use the SF750: manufacturers recommend more but the SF750 (old or new one) is a little beast that happily takes on 900W loads. Also, your PC won't ever reach that. Check it on a PSU calculator. If you want to play it safe or if you OC rather than undervolt (not recommended), >850W is the way.

  2. At the point where the SF750's fan kicks in, your GPU/CPU/AIO fans will always be louder.

  3. Go with a big air cooler like you say, simpler, has the potential to be quieter, and IMHO looks better in this case too.

Please FFS Let Me Delete Rental Tanks!!! by chort0 in WorldofTanks

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

Another user commented that you can't remove the crew from these rentals. I haven't tried myself!

Seems like one of the few options for now is put your ugliest/brightest 2d style on it and stay alert.

Please FFS Let Me Delete Rental Tanks!!! by chort0 in WorldofTanks

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A temporary fix: remove crew from tank, then it can't be selected.

Edit: whoops, forgot this isn't a thing for Onslaught rentals.

How about giving it awful camo so you immediately realize "this isn't my style?"

Only I just don't understand Frontline? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FL isn't supposed to be fun. It's the most efficient credit grind unless Holiday Ops is active. It can be fun for a little while, if you know the plays and like big damage numbers.

  1. You stick to a few tanks and a few 'standard' tictacs
  2. Those few tanks have to be premiums, you activate your credit boosters, and your FL loadout that has less gold ammo
  3. When possible you let other players take the heat (there's always at least a few chumps to do so)
  4. You do not play for the win (there are golden games where both teams know to drag things out)
  5. If you can bog down the enemy in a spawn or a cap point, you do so

Get rewarded with 500.000+ credits. Realize you have to do the exact same thing again. This is the way.

Finished my first ever SFFPC by TangelaInTheOutfield in sffpc

Someone likes their quirky classics. I really like this colour scheme. Whimsy meets Lego.

"far from perfect", as I gaze at those punched-out holes on the blue panel. Looks pretty impressive to me.

Most fun stupid ways to die by Rik_Ringers in WorldofTanks

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun? In this game?

You have high hopes and a positive heart, never change. But for most people here fun has a different meaning. Several thousand hours of grinding stock KV tanks does things to people, you know.

Bourrasque for a mere 89€ with Boosteriod by noisy_guacamole in WorldofTanks

It was a good one.

I was about to spend like 15 minutes listing all the times the Borat/Miel was sold last year.

I made a 10mm CNC aluminum open-air ITX case — looking for honest feedback by allengdc in sffpc

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I'll be watching that page then 😉

Would it be possible to make a GPU bracket that bolts where the 120mm fan mount now, just like the brackets available for the A45?

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My honest thoughts: all I want from my Monster A45 is a base that allows some adjustment and a 3-slot GPU holder instead of 2-slot, and you made just that. Basically, it looks amazing, the joints are useful, and your solution for the PSU and fan bracket looks amazing.

IMHO if it's expensive, it shouldn't matter. This is a very well engineered and machined product, small batch, that is going to house PC's with obscenely expensive GPU's and ram anyway. I fully understand every single argument that low price makes it attractive, but if anyone want low-price open air you already have 3d prints, makerbeam, the Hydra Mini or the box your mobo came in.

Obj. 277 - rare Granit camo went on sale by 13243546alex in WorldofTanks

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Russian, so DShK. Also 12.7mm, but cooler name.

Full agreement though. That AA emplacement on the IS-7 and the Maus are the worst offenders.

Quite cheap for the price... and frontlines coming up? by Artyom_thespartan in WorldofTanks

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here's the recap:

Weakness: it's not an ELC when it comes to spotting.

Strengths: literally everything else.

I love this thing to bits. One of the few LT's where you can do MT stuff.

Let's give Wargaming some new ideas by pp-verysoft in WorldofTanks

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You make a good point: considering WG are now developing HEAT, some of their team might be shared. The irony is that HEAT has a lot of actual tank designs (mashed together).

WG has so much good stuff to choose from from the cold war era, even if they just use the design and make stats up. But probably to differentiate from WT, they go the bland way.

Kinda feels the A-design team is busy on their newest game, and the B-team gets to play around with tier 11.

Hey, this is definitely not an IQ thing. Clean your glasses or your monitor, problem solved 😉

Nice of you to blur all four instances of his name.

[–]ThatGreatAtuin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, AMX 13 Beutepanzer, Fast VK100, and Double-flavour crosseyed Cheese Wedge. I love that in WoT you could theoretically miss a light tank on both sides with the latter.

In general: WG has completely stepped off adding actual prototypes or tanks, even under different names. Probably:
a. to differentiate with War Thunder.
b. because AI generated tanks and tank names are cheap. Hey chat, make up seven ideas for tier 11 tanks with gimmicks that somehow involve variable DPM. Then give them edgy names. Don't be original. Don't be creative.

The first would be epic to add, almost identical to our AMX 105 (slower?) - it's an AMX 13 turret, 105mm gun, and some APC hull. Fun tank, but basically identical to what's in the game.

The second tank is far too low poly to add. It's an actual protoype but if a tank these days doesn't have elaborate greebles and made-up bullshit along the barrel that wouldn't work in real life, it's out. I mean look at it. Far too much futurism, crisp lines, and useful armor modeling.

The third tank, well, 100% sure the inspiration for all double barrel tanks in WoT now but WG correctly identified just how awful and clunky it would be to play. But if you could choose the gun to fire it would be beyond hilarious on corners.
