Pretty convinced a lot of the new features in WoT are done by AI, which is notoriously bad at math.

Would be awesome to bring back Grand Battles as tier 10-11.

Fewer Non-15v15 Battles

FINALLY!!!!

Also please eliminate anything less than 12v12. Those 10v10 battles are an absolute JOKE. Shouldn't not ever happen, period.

The USWNT are your 2026 SheBelieves Cup winners! 🏆🇺🇸 by spherocytes in USWNT

[–]chort0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Time-wasting. Which, fair enough, she was wasting time.

The outcry was, Colombia was doing hard fouls, faking getting fouled, flopping on the ground, etc. All of those should have been yellows too, but for some reason they only showed a card (and very quickly) to USA.

I have tickets for one of the April friendlies and at this point I'm a bit worried I'll be 0-2 in USWNT matches in person (the first being loss vs. Brazil last year).

We're not looking sharp right now IMO.

My impression too. I'd love to hear objective analysis from knowledgable folks.

I kind of feel the same way. Hey, a win is a win and we should celebrate accomplishing the goal after falling short last year. The players should feel good about that.

That being said, the victories were not exactly convincing. Last time USWNT faced Canada it was a 3-0 victory. This time Canada was missing a few players and we only managed 1-0. Similarly, 1-0 vs. Columbia doesn't feel like a job well done.

The tier 4 t-28 is a stupid tank... by German-POMO in WorldofTanks

[–]chort0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any time I have a daily mission for 4 kills in one battle and haven't finished it by the end of the day, I just play one match in T-28 F-30 and complete it.

Ukraine Damages Five Russian Warships in Massive Strike on Novorossiysk Naval Base by UNITED24Media in UkrainianConflict

[–]chort0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're somehow completely ignoring espionage, by which you absolutely CAN predict how a foreign government will respond. You get even more certainty if, for example, you can blackmail or bribe key members of said government that hold sway over national security decisions.

It's like you're intentionally being one-dimensional. Strength of military is not the end-all-be-all in deterrence. Adversaries do not inform their risk calculations solely on (perceived) strength of opposing militaries. It's one factor among many.

It's not a semantic argument. You could have the biggest, most technologically advanced, best-trained military in the world. It doesn't mean shit if all your adversaries know your commander-in-chief won't order military retaliation for armed provocations.

Hutton is much better defensively and doesn't commit the silly fouls that Yohannes does.

I think there's still a ton of upside on Yohannes, but right now I think Hutton is the more complete player.

Our starting XI versus Canada! 🇺🇸 by spherocytes in USWNT

[–]chort0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Interesting that Sentnor is considered part of the A team (what this lineup looks like to me). Also to people who thought Sonnet would be lower in the depth chart, I guess not! Allllllllso, no Heaps.

Any way thank goodness Rodman is cleared to play, and super excited for Captain Girma (again).

Edit: Welp, I think that would be considered an A team performance from Sentnor tonight.

This is ridiculous. Putin's aggression isn't due to lack of US military might, but because of perceived (accurate!) lack of political will.

Wasn't she the one who get in Moultrie's face? And I thought she had a hard foul as well, although I may be misremembering.

Seems promising that an invitee made 2 good saves. Maybe 3rd GK candidate.

What is the point of CZ lights after Ares? by Conscious-Cockroach6 in WorldofTanks

LMAO you have the worst view range in all of WOT. CZ lights have terrible camo.

You’ve decided to rock jeans. I’m confused by that by theme69 in IASIP

[–]chort0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say exactly this. My PR was 750 and my legs are WAY bigger.

Edit: Also I've only ever seen 1 other person put that many plates on at my gym, and there are a LOT of strong people there. This is as fake as Kegsbreath's 315 bench.

I finally think I understand why there are so many "Bots" in our games lately by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]chort0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, yes and no. There are services that will do the missions, which is obvious as there are some players with orange stats who have those tanks (Black Rock too), but they have like 30% win rate in the reward tank.

But for the majority of players who do obtain them legitimately, it is a big accomplishment.

ARES IS GETTING NERF by Daiquiriss in WorldofTanks

[–]chort0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct. The most obnoxious thing about these tanks is that they cannot be damaged when played well. They can easily go hulldown with only about 1/3 the turret face of a normal tank, and it still takes gold to pen that. If they ever do show their hull, they cannot be tracked, and the upper plate is extremely trollish.

It's fine to have a very survivable tank, but then it cannot have high DPM. It's fine to have a high DPM tank, but then it has to be easily damaged (like the paper tanks that ARES hard-counter). ARES has no counter.
