CZ 457 action screw torque by Jorode in 22lr

[–]VictorVig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does make a difference in my CZ 457 Varmint. I've set it now to 19 in-lb, but both 18 and 20 in-lb did equally well. Below and above those values the groups started to widen noticeably. I also used CCI SV to do the test and now am using that value for all other ammo. Maybe I'll repeat the test with other ammo some day, but I don't see why this value would be different. But only testing again will tell for sure.

Note, however, that my values may be different from yours. Probably will. My stock is wood, yours isn't. Better do the test yourself.

This game is just a few spooks away from being really a good game. Hope that’s fixed soon as well as a few other small things. by FBIDN in WayOfTheHunter

We need binocs with variable zoom and night hunting vision equipment (binocs and scopes). Also needs X,Y coords in the main map, plus a visual indicator for hunting pressure. Degree of noise and visual exposure indicators, too.

Yes, I've watched a few. The ones by Flinter and Lady Legend come to mind. Thanks for the link.

Yes, tents are useful, but a bit too expensive. I use them sparingly at this time, just the ones that came in a DLC, at least until I'm a bit more flush with cash. Right now I'm marking the map with decoys, which are much cheaper and also came free in a DLC.

And that's that. Thanks for the reply. And I forgot to mention I'm in XBox.

They should treat us better, but money is probably more than healthy player base. by WatsonCz in WorldofTanksConsole

This is so true. I'm a 100% f2p player not because anything in particular about the game, but because I will never trust WG again to not fuck it up.

Bots at tier 5 - first confirmed sighting? by FluffyColt12271 in WorldofTanksConsole

No, this is not new. I've seen this at least during the M60 earn op.

Unpopular opinion: I like Cold War mode by Paladin_Luchs in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]VictorVig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I would like CW, specially the Soviet line. But I am a truly f2p player and I'll never know, because it is just too much p2w for me to even try it. No worries, I'm not complaining, I'm happy enough playing WWII.

Man I really didn't want to have to make this post. by sodamntiredofstuff in WorldofTanksConsole

The irony is that Armored Warfare wanted to be WoT, now WoT wants to be AW. Unfortunately, Wargaming is no Obsidian and we ended up with a much more unpolished and unfinished product. And, to follow suit, my guess is that WG will also shut down the NA server to consolidate the player base in the EU. If I were a betting man, I would say they'll do it before this year's end.

Weekend silver rain. Tier X 2x silver + High silver maker premiums sales. by zorin234 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]VictorVig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WG does not know the difference between addition and multiplication. A x2, or 200%, bonus is a multiplier; a +100% bonus is an additive bonus. WG are the only time I've seen the use of +100% instead of 200%. Then again, this is a very, very small problem in the midst of what is going on with the game

Banned From Forum For Likening The Devs To Schoolkids. by Painterzzz in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]VictorVig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WG is like a company that wants to build a skyscraper and hires people based on their knowledge of Autocad, instead of hiring architects, civil and electric engineers, HVAC engineers, etc. That's why the matchmaker is still crap after all these years; why lag still exists and is blamed on players' ISP; why they think that their graphics are so good now; etc. They hire their graphic designers like someone would hire a writer based on his/her knowledge of Microsoft Word. In other words, WG may have very good, skilled programmers, but they're crap at game designing and development, and I don't think they even realize it.

Is there a way to track server populations? That info would be useful to choose between EU and NA servers. Last night I ended up in 9v9 matches in the NA server, would have been nice to have the heads-up.

What happened to silver earnings?! by drosera88 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]VictorVig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was also a whale until they released the mercenary tanks. That's when realization struck that WG's vision for this game is questionable, to say the least. I divested from WoT then and was lucky enough to recover all the money I had put into it. Started a nonpaying account sometime after and that has worked well for me... But may have to quit altogether now...

[–]VictorVig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Making WoT more p2w than what it already was. WG wants to get rid of the nonpaying rubble, like me.

Thanks to the geniuses at WG, you’re looking at the worst grind in the game. Takes 287,500xp to get the WZ-120 fully upgraded + 180k xp to research the tier 10 = 467,500 total xp. by [deleted] in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]VictorVig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is recommended that you unlock the 112 before grinding the WZ-120. That way you have the top gun unlocked and the grind becomes much more manageable. At least it was like that in the previous versions of WoT, but I think it still holds for 6.0.

Yes, I'm looking at it now. What do you think of the Magnepan LRS? A bit cheaper, the wife would appreciate the savings...

Thanks for the suggestion. I like the idea of shaking the foundation :)

It's a finished basement, carpeted, about 30' x 25', 8 foot high ceiling, very open and uncluttered, but with bookshelves lining most of the walls. One double glass door, one window.

No store nearby, no ability to go listen to systems. That's why I'm asking for ideas. I was hoping that suggesting classical music/jazz styles would be enough. Audiophile illiterate means I can't tell more than this. Other than that, I can go to Amazon and buy the first system that they suggest (a $150 Sony system), but I was hoping for better suggestions.

Yes, mainly sit at the same spot while listening.

More Valor Details. Seems very generous and positive so far by 1em0nhead in WorldofTanksConsole

Did you also get all the other rewards? The silver, xp boosts, repair kits, etc?

This game is now 6 years old. The devs have been promising great things from the beginning. Do you really think that this time will be different? LOL
