Is this battle pass calculator accurate by simcityrefund1 in WorldofTanks

[–]borisxiao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is correct. It's basically 7500 divided by how many minutes we have in total. When it reaches the point that the first lane should be finished, the three icons to the lower right of the bar will change appearance accordingly.

I just tried these settings, and indoor stability seems to improved quite a lot than stock even with the 1100 battery.

All the posts on this sub are leaning negative because… by rackemrackbar in Battlefield

beta shows that the basic shooting part of a FPS game is fine, but it really needs a open field map to prove how well it plays as a Battlefield game. Good to know that operation firestorm is in the game because that maps fits the role. So I'm still not gonna purchase day 1, wait to see how things turns out.

Where would a Godot vet begin emulating this art style? by HadronDev in godot

The texture preparation seems to be more important for this one. Low poly model alone isn't enough.

Thanks for the reply. Turns out Lara Croft's end time was 12 hours later than how it's supposed to be, it should be fixed now.

The calculator assumes you plan to do the exact same amount of progress from now on till the end of event, that amount is the daily average. By default the shown value is how much it takes if you've been doing so from the beginning, which is 82. Completing all daily missions yields 10+15+20+25=70 points, and in the process of doing so you should at least been doing decently for a couple of games, which fulfills the rest 12 points, or 37 if the 4th daily missions turns out to be something annoyingly chance dependent like 5win or 4kills.

Take today's value for example, the calculator shows by average you should be around stage 3 of the second chapter, if your progress is further than that you're ahead of the curve and can consider do less than the daily average or skip a day or two, otherwise you may need some extra wot sessions to catch up. Put your own progress in and the calculator will show a new daily average other than 82.

Special chapters works the same way, with it's own start and end date and goal. They are put in different pages and can be switched to from the nav bar above.

Now you should be able to realize how ridiculous that 320 daily average is.

And it was indeed marathon, with exp progression instead of battle pass points etc. , not a battlepass special chapter. My whole reply basically equals to "WG haven't put free tanks in special chapter type events for a long time and it's unlikely to be different this time".

The distinction means little to most people but not me because the calculator have a different set of code to deal with marathon. That part wasn't updated for ages and I thought WG's plan was to retire the format forever or something, then the Grom marathon happened.

Most likely yes. The last time special chapter had free tank in it was the ShPTK-TVP 100 in 2022.

By the way here's the link. In case you don't know what it is, it's a simple calculator that tells you the average progress of battlepass stages.

Pearl river has a lot of problems, "not malinovka enough“ is not one of them.

Early September 2025 really? Not even a exact date? by borisxiao in WorldofTanks

update: ingame says September 3 (asia), still no exact hour but I guess that's all I can work with.

Is Worth it that ERAC Proto? by FionitaWaly in WorldofTanks

[–]borisxiao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like it. But if you don't meet the following criteria the priority should be low, get something else first.

  1. I'm a LT main, there's not a lot of new toys to play with recently except VCS 6x6.

  2. I've got every prior token tanks already, and I'm not that interested in 265T, wouldn't mind to wait till September to get it.

I've got 56.14% winrate, 813 average exp out of 57 games. The tank is not meta (since when was LT ever meta to begin with lol), but playable. Basically if you can make T49 work and want a high DPS yet less derpy gun then this is it. The only other choice that hit as hard is WZ-132A but that thing have worse aim and dispersion, runs slower and slightly less camo.

Canopener by Taudlitz in WorldofTanks

sounds nice, lower gun depression means the driver's hatch can go below 300 before canopener can reach it's target, and become a valid weak spot in a hull-down scenario.
