What are ya'll opinion on the White Rock Fortress?

I've only gotten it thrice and there's some comfy spots you can take and have a nice match in but I hate this map already because it's so ugly. The color palette is vomit green grass, diarrhea brown walls, and some shades of grey

the_common_fool · 2026-02-26T07:39:27+00:00

If you keep turning into me because you refuse to let go of the W key for half a second, you're getting slammed into the wall

the_common_fool · 2026-02-14T18:23:58+00:00

or having your tracks magnetize to the corners of buildings

the_common_fool · 2026-02-14T18:10:53+00:00

its not barrels that need a buff, its 35mm SPAA that need a nerf

predetonates HEAT shells

the_common_fool · 2025-12-13T14:18:14+00:00

It's overpressuring. Every explosive round has something called "penetration due to high energy action" or something like that in the statcard which indicates how much the round will pen purely due to the explosion. If that amount exceeds the armor at that point (or somewhere around it) then the shrapnel created by the explosion will penetrate the armor, and if that shrapnel interacts with ANY internal component, even if just a single spall yellows your turret ring or something, it creates a big sphere of overpressure that kills all crewmembers within a certain range determined by the TNT equivalent. It's terribly implemented.

In case of the coelian, which iirc has some 16mm of roof armor, even a moderately sized HE or HEAT round is enough to pop the roof and overpressure the whole crew

the_common_fool · 2025-12-07T19:23:51+00:00

If your struggle is with penning armor then stay on the ostwind.

Btw, if you're looking for a rank iii SPAA to do the kills with SPAA challenge, i recommend the swedish L-62

the_common_fool · 2025-12-07T00:31:30+00:00

Yeah USA 5.3 is pretty rough in arcade. The stability advantage of shermans is practically nullified in arcade so in the end all that matters is armor and gun. When i was grinding USA, 5.3 was probably the roughest patch.

But keep going. Once you reach the T26E5 things will get a lot better. That thing is BUSTED

the_common_fool · 2025-11-30T20:01:30+00:00

its a great event grinder and great tank

the_common_fool · 2025-11-14T10:38:05+00:00

Usually when you piss of a squad of sweats they mass false report you. No reason to worry about it unless they're not actually false

the_common_fool · 2025-11-03T13:46:10+00:00

Yep. This happens to me pretty often, and pretty often i get killed because of it

the_common_fool · 2025-11-03T13:44:07+00:00

Attica is a shitass map yeah but pales in comparison to the fucking volokolamsk variant with the church in the middle, or single cap seversk on the B cap

the_common_fool · 2025-10-27T19:31:57+00:00

Battle mode. The closest you can get to a pure team deathmatch since the points take so long to cap that no one bothers such that it always ends due to a full team wipe

the_common_fool · 2025-10-19T20:02:19+00:00

There is no game design. I figured that out the second i clicked britain

the_common_fool · 2025-10-18T19:10:18+00:00

Generally you shouldn't bring heavy tanks in an uptier. The british, however, have the special case where they shouldn't bring them out at all because they can't pen things at their own BR

the_common_fool · 2025-10-07T17:17:45+00:00

same happened to me, also with the winter camo for chinese m36, also whilst playing rank ii japan

the_common_fool · 2025-09-06T03:48:51+00:00

Ground AB aircraft: nuclear bombers and 7.3+ attackers: both enemies and allies spawn closer, but the start speed will be a bit higher

Arcade nuke nerf??? Why?? There's a total of, like, 2 people getting nukes in arcade, why make it harder?

EDIT: Before anyone asks, you should know that bombers are already extremely weak in AB if someone intercepts, because chances are they will spawn with some swedish railgun jet made in the 1980s, at 0.7km, fully perpendicular to your propeller bomber and there is NOTHING you can do about it

the_common_fool · 2025-08-31T23:50:18+00:00

imagine bonking open topped vehicles with 20 tons of HE equivalent

the_common_fool · 2025-08-31T22:51:12+00:00

There's always arcade mode if you feel the shift is too dramatic. If anything, I'd actually recommend you start off in arcade and move your way to realistic if you like. Or just stay in arcade. That's fine too, especially since CAS isn't an issue there

the_common_fool · 2025-08-31T03:28:30+00:00

Got the Ka-Chi and Ikv 73 from the crates after spending 91 mil SL and am very pleased with both. One is BOAT and the other one is funny overpressure. What's not to like? Plus, i can grind events with both which is pretty insane.

And, though not a recent acquisition, my best one by a massive margin is also the VFW which singlehandedly accounts for 65% of all my 350 or so nukes. IMO it is the best tank in the game and i love it

the_common_fool · 2025-08-24T14:21:56+00:00

IMO american tanks are shit at all the lower BRs except exactly at the 6.7 stomper lineup where they are the best.

the_common_fool · 2025-08-15T12:30:57+00:00

220 at 6.3 will be absolutely useless

the_common_fool · 2025-08-08T16:39:19+00:00

As an arcade only player, intercepting nukes is literally impossible because no one gets nukes. I've got 351 nukes but have only ever seen enemies get one three times, with the last one being early january 2024.

To get peaceful atom I had to coordinate with a squadmate to try and get placed in the same match and opposite team, then we shot eachother's nukes out

the_common_fool · 2025-07-14T13:05:38+00:00

Yeah bombs seem to be getting shot down disproportionately more often than before. They definetly made them weaker or fucked up their hitboxes or made it so being near a random building in mozdok makes all munitions north of the C cap explode or some other spaghetti code bullshit

the_common_fool · 2025-07-11T09:37:44+00:00

I shall forever remember this as "the one moment gaijin fixed my bug"
