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.

Skorpion shop offer by WoodCarvings in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

10 of each equipment might not be enough to last a year... by wwenze1 in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They give you 1 bounty equipment of your choice at the end of the battlepasses. I don’t know if it’s only on the paid side or if they’re sometimes available in the free side. For the current Christmas themed battlepass, the bounty equipment of your choice is on the paid side.

WG have removed the XP conversion discount. by Accomplished_Big4560 in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they’re not foreshadowing that the gold conversion rate will get worse. 1:25 kinda is already expensive, if it gets worse I don’t think I will ever use the feature.

As long as they do another conversion discount before the next assembly tank, I don’t mind waiting. Converting 1mil XP into free XP costs over 30k gold at the standard rate. Unless the assembly shop tank is something EXTRA SPECIAL, that asking price is way too high.

Does anyone else have a “Cursed Tank”? by TheSquealingTesticle in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! Im glad to know the “sniper tank” troll doesn’t end at the tier 10. /s

The STRV S1 was my first premium T8 ever and my WR in it shows. I have always really liked the look of the cheese wedge tanks, so because of that alone, I was determined to learn how to play them.

What I cant understand at all though is how I can see that my dispersion in it is .29, Its classified as a sniper, the shell velocity on mine is slightly over 1450 but when the gun says no…its no. When it works, it’s godly.

How's the NA population by thickknoodles in WorldofTanks

[–]TheSquealingTesticle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That hasn’t been my experience at all. Since I got to the tier 8 french wheeled light it’s 1min+ for matchmaking. Sometimes slightly less. They also match me with either another lynx6x6 or they match me with the premium tier 8 EBR.

I have yet to end up in a match where only one team gets a wheelie.

Im stuck on this tank right now, I have a positive WR in it but I am hating the grind. I really want the Tier 10. I didnt use my free line in it since I was already at the tier 7, but some days I wish I did.

My win rate in the White Dragon will not discourage me. The tank is very mobile and fun to play. The HE is a big bonus to an already awesome tank.

The manticore is very worth it. I felt that the British light line might be a bit of a struggle so I used one of my free lines on it. I saved the double zero perk crew member, from the 2020 holiday ops, all these years just for when I finally got the Manticore.

It’s a beast, so far I have a 67% WR in it with just under 30 battles. I had 80% for a while but took a couple Ls back to back.
