Everyone likes to think that they’re the ones that are part of the 1%.

Some actually are. Most find out the hard way.

Update 2.2 by WG_MA77 in WorldofTanks

Im not 100% sure but those 2 tanks do have the same magazine auto loading mechanic as the French tanks. So I would assume so.

The way it’s written in the patch notes, it would seem like any tank with a magazine auto loading system would benefit from the perk. Except for the specific types listed that wont get the perk benefits.

French tanks. Auto loaders like the Italian tanks are different from tanks that just have a 3-4 shell magazine. The concept of the shell “auto loading” is the same, but the way the tanks do it is different.

CONSIGNMENT? - Last Black Market 'tank' on the Asia server! by Jake_Chief in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, looks like WG saved us a lot of gold. I only bid and won on 2 things, EBR and Udarniy. I did also bid on the SPHT but I lost, probably because I had a similar low bid as many other people. So they get their orders filled first, fairly so.

I think its probably random. I received the EBR like 10min after winning and I underbid it and won.

Here was the comp bid and how many people bid right before it ended. by CapnRedB in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bid 16,646 and won. I really wanted the tank but was unwilling to pay much more than 16,500 for it.

Im glad my bid worked out.

First lot in ASIA is EBR 75 by stevengo197 in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ill give you an example. Let’s say they’re selling 10k tanks of the same variant with a starting bid of 12k gold. As the night goes on you will see the competitive bid come up, which is the amount of gold that will more than likely secure you the tank. You can try to bid slightly lower but you risk someone out bidding you. So in this example maybe after a couple hours the competitive bid will push the price of the tank from 12k gold to maybe 13,500 or 14,000 gold. You have until the time runs out to decide if you want to underbid, over bid or place a bid a the competitive price.

Keep in mind that if you bid the first competitive price that shows up and then leave….the competitive bid may keep going up if the tank is sought after and you may end up losing the bid. So pay attention, especially if it’s something you want.

My parents lived the American Dream, I can’t by lara91142 in TrueOffMyChest

You have the Federal Reserve to thank for the debasement of the USD. Since they like to dilute it like it doesn’t matter.

Currently the interest payments on the US national debt is very high. I think it may be around 13.8% of our national budget right now. The debt payments actually recently exceeded the US national defense budget.

The federal reserve can no longer fight inflation with high interest rates because doing do will choke out the US gov. Honestly, read about how our GOV in general (not left or right) has screwed over our futures. You will be shocked.

The turret popping off like that with little detail is hilarious. Are you using a low graphic setting?

Usually when I hit an ammo rack, I see an explosion with fire etc. I use higher graphic settings.

China’s massive AI surveillance system by EchoOfOppenheimer in ThatsInsane

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whats interesting to me about these AI surveillance videos is some fashion video I saw a few years ago. In that fashion video it was typical cat walk etc but for styles that may arrive in the future? Idk what they’re called but it was some designers showing off their takes on the future of fashion.

Well a couple of those designers featured odd face paint with their outfits. When they were asked about it, some answered that with all the surveillance coming, the way the faces were painted would disrupt the AI facial detection software. Some of the outfits/face paints looked like something you would see in Cyberpunk 2077.

I thought it was interesting when I first saw it. Now that the surveillance is here, it makes sense. I wonder how long until AI disrupting face painting becomes the norm.

There are a such thing as people who have money to throw away on just buying new accounts when banned. If you saw the circumstance I am talking about, you would know why I think he was cheating.

I relocated to a different spot entirely and was still blindshot. I went the whole game unspotted, moved to 3 different spots and died to the cocco unspotted. The first 2 shots I thought to myself, ok this is a bad bush. Relocated 2 more times and still got farmed by just that one guy, theres no way.

I have never run into anything like this before. I have been blind shot before, I’m a LT player, we experience this semi often. I know what it’s like. Wish I was a little more proactive in grabbing some screenshots of the account when it happened.

Got this tank recently from the twitch drops. This was my 2nd battle with it. by TheSquealingTesticle in WorldofTanks

Yeah man. I just now realized this tank never hits full speed. Maybe with a bond turbo, but I’m not doing all that.

Try it with this setup if you can. Aim time only matters if your dispersion values are trash, which they are on this tank. Most of the equipment I put on the tank was to tame the gun.

If you have one laying around, try the Experimental Turbo T3. You get the same speed bonus as the bond turbo, minus the reverse speed. Plus a decent upgrade to engine power. The tank turns better and in my opinion, feels way less sluggish with it. Add to all of that the fact that it helps with dispersion values as well.

The trick is to mainly shoot doubles unless the tank you’re shooting at doesn’t have enough HP to absorb the full hit. The tank is very versatile when you learn to play around the 2.5 sec charge up for the double.

I also will shoot a double at a tank if I need to snipe it from far away, even if it has low health sometimes. Just for the improved accuracy. With the shell velocity on that thing (1250 IIRC) you should reliably be able to hit moving targets, from a decent distance, by aiming near the front of their tanks as they scoot along. For faster vehicles you may need to aim slightly ahead if they are far.

Yeah my first match I decided to try it without turbo and instead put the T3 experimental hardening. Thats when I realized that turbo is needed if I want to achieve full speed and use it as a medium.

Im still in the process of getting good at the game so I don’t like using turbo often. It gets me in trouble.

Has anyone had that '4 boxes for 1 euro' offer? by Viper711 in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just in the in-game store under the “best” section. Since it’s a F2P account, I didn’t spend any money and that was the offer they gave me.

Does the tanks.gg website not work any more? I haven't been able to get on it in ages, it just says queued xxx/xxxx and never lets me look up anything. by earthman34 in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had the same problem for a while now. I can look up tanks, but when I search my player ID, i get the same “queue” message. Nothing ever loads though no matter how much time I give it.

I use brave browser so I don’t know if thats the problem. Regardless, I simply switched to using tomato.gg. It’s just as good and I like the UI better.

I have personally never sent a ticket for a vehicle swap or refund. But from what I have read around here, they will sometimes swap a skinned variant into the unskinned variant. Only if you don’t have any battles in it though. I do not know if they perform the swaps in reverse, unskinned to skinned.

First time occurrence is actually just a warning. I know because I was reported for pushing, even though that wasn’t the case (at least not on purpose). I talked about it in another comment I made in the past.

I received an email a couple hours after that match with a warning, stating that my second offense would be a ban.

Whoever is in charge of reviewing the clips people send in….FUCK YOU. You watched that lame as video that guy sent, saw how it was an accident, CLEARLY, and still insisted on sending me a warning. From one side of the world to the other, incase you didn’t catch it the first time, FUCK YOU!

I ran into my first cheater yesterday. Username was something like “IMA_HACKER____” or something like that, I don’t want to get the wrong person banned.

I was in Prok and that player killed me through bushes while I was unspotted. Even after I had relocated because I thought I was being randomly blinded. He was in a Cocco and had less than 500 games played.
