errr ... 2nd place only gold crate but what a drop in it ... well i couldn't resist to take the Assaulter ... (welp i am more a TD natural than a LT it seems ) yep still playing strong still loving it.

 

[GreiverBlade]

well ... got back for some time ... just on 0.17 update

THE VBR HAS A HORRIBLE HANDLING!

nonetheless with 510m spot range ... i could do fine


funny now AI tanks have camo yay.

ohhhh i just did read the patch note ... most ATGM capable vehicle can fire on the move and no more wait time when the vehicle stops

That sounds promising.

I like the plan of Balance 2.0 and the upcoming PvE + PvP combined gamemode; reminds me a bit of War Thunder, though definitely more advanced.

I stopped playing a while ago but might get back on it. When I have my GTX 1070 in 2 weeks, of course. GeForce Experience just imposed its law and order on my 750 Ti and the jaggies are not pretty. Still I need GFE for some other games (not recording, I have OBS for that).

Hey, this is me too.

Now I'm playing Steel Ocean. My very first impressions about it are here.
It's fun for now but I definitely come back to AW after 0.18-19 patch because looks very interesting what they want to develop.

argh i tried Steel Ocean but i keep coming back to World Of Warships ... altho Wargaming.net is not my tea cup ... (well only WoWs not WoWp and WoT ... i can't stand them )

and yep, .18 .19 seems interesting

 

[Michalrutek]

So I see that most of us are coming back to Aw, I will not be able to play until a month from now... I just moved to poland 2 weeks ago. My pc has not arrived yet, nor do I have internet. But as soon as I get both I will play again!

nah no worries i play from time to time .... still like it still want to play it ... but i have, like, a huge backlog of games to get thru and also i am tinkering with my Raspberry Pi3 and LibreELEC (Kodi) and some other joyful thingies, ahah ... i guess i am a bigger Geek (not Greek) than i want to admit ...

that's my Leo 1 ... good boy ... good boy ...



and some people call that tank shitty ... ok ... the Swiss Pz68 was deemed to be "on par" with it, albeit being plagued by some issues like ... ah forget it, who care nonetheless ... once the Pz68 was almost finished being cleared of all these default it was on par with a Leo 1 but ... then the Leo 2 appeared and then poof Pz87

and ... awwwwww that's the cutest 30mm M230LF turret i ever saw

 

[GreiverBlade]

in love again with the M1134 ATGM ... the change of the .17 make it fun now (well it was fun previously ... for me ... at last.)

 

[GreiverBlade]

still at it ... the 1st anniversary is nice qualified for the IS-7 and in the raffle for the T-64A Hunter

plus .. M8 at 93% .... 4th T10 here i come ... (T-15 HIFV probably)

still got the magic touch .... or so ...



yep didn't loose it ... "dat accuracy" ....


10th pics 4th T10 yay

 

[GreiverBlade]

the time to edit is a bit annoying but ... oh ... whatever (ok i know ... nobody else look that thread and my bump will be just as annoying as the edit time )

but still ... T-15 HIFV i love you ... monster ...


clearly OP ...

 

[tabascosauz]

Patch 0.18 is up. New garage is super nice, but the halloween decorations are fugly as hell.

Won't be playing much due to near-total loss of interest in AW as well as non-stop hectic schedules, but I played a few games of PvE today and I must say that the experience has improved considerably due to behind-the-scenes optimization by OE.

Also Ultra settings is glorious in 1440p on my new GTX 1070. That's a good reason to play once in a while.

Also, @GreiverBlade I'm pretty sure that the accuracy on the 2A6 has been changed while I was gone. It used to be a shotgun compared to the Abrams. Now my M1A1 has 0.09 accuracy and Leo has 0.10.

New testing range based on the setting for the actual Russian tank biathlon / Arms Expo where you can take whatever stock tank that's in the game for a "test drive". Useful for seeing what you might want next.

errr... my shots always land where i meant them to ... no matter what spread the gun have ... (except when i am running at full speed uphill ... it's either i get a LFP hit or a ... "mudsplash" )

mmmhhh gotta update it then ... (after my STEAM serial "auto updates" ... )

oh btw @tabascosauz i had a paypal giftcard i forgot ... since i only use paypal for ebay ... i went out of my habit and resold my AMX 10RCR bastille, took a standard (i couldn't stand the "vive la France" on the gun ) a Fox shark, a ERC Shark and a T-80 Shark (funny enough the T-80 is my favorite T-series MBT ... )

urgh ... 4.89gb update .... NICE!

 

[tabascosauz]

I love the new test range. Not because of its usefulness, but because of these little jumps set up to make it seem like one of those Russian proving grounds - perfect for the T-80's signature "flying tank" stunt.

The T-80's automotive performance in this game is wonderfully modelled. Speedy turbine engine, light weight, and bouncy suspension could only mean one thing:

That's about as much fun as I'm ever going to have.

well .. so then if i take my T-80 Shark on a test drive ... it will be a remake of "Sharknado" ?

btw the test range is based of a real life Russian proving ground: the Alabino proving ground where they held the famous tank Biathlon

Did somebody say GLOBAL OPS? I topped a G Ops game today.

Who knew that this nifty little machine could cause so much pain when put in the right place? Big shoutout to the 2A5 and Ariete gang that was so kind as to perpetuate the gangbang so I could do my thing. 5 seconds after this screenshot, the trifecta came screaming around the corner and enveloped the T-90, and that was the end of that guy.

Yes, it's technically sealclubbing (if it was the usual T10 game, I would be running screaming from the PL-01s and Armatas on my ass). It's a good feeling to experience once in a while.



I jumped that LAV-o-matic pretty hard. He had no time to spot, no time to react before I came barreling down the runway out of nowhere. Just another thinly armoured juicy ass ripe for the Terminator's taking. Well, 2 of his pals was also sitting right there in front of me and was oblivious to my presence as I rekt their little lav-o-matic friend, so he can blame his team for that one.

Now, back to losing in the T10 matches. You know what I've found about Global Ops. Nothing matters, except for bumrushing the cap as fast as you can, as often as you can. That's why I take my T2 and 2A6 into G-Ops and feel good. That's why all the Challenger 2s go play PvP. Those that don't, find out pretty quickly what being slow in a G-Ops game feels like (i.e. not good).

Basically, G-Ops with Wiesels / Crabs / Cent 120 / M8 for me to rek = good. G-Ops with PL-01 / 2A7-140 / Armata = bad.

 

[GreiverBlade]

i do not care about global ops ... it's pvp, even if partially, and i do not care about pvp, meh rep and credit ... i thought it would give more than PVE hard T9/10 ... but nope...

not bad the new garage nonetheless ... (i am in spain on a Athlon 5350 8gb 1600 and a GT730 2gb DDR3 no AW for me i guess )

 

[GreiverBlade]

hidden edit: well my GT730 suffice ... 60fps low 1080p

though 60-90ms averaging and 120ms ping max give me some rubberbanding effect and little lag ... but nothing unplayable i think (only tested in Alabino Polygon )

I think you ought to try it (once you get back to your 1070 of course ); see how you like it. On good matches, it's extremely easy to rake in 7000-8000 base rep, which is substantially more than I get out of even a long PvE game like Leviathan. While it is in some ways more competitive because of the inevitable element of PvP, I think you'd be happy to know that PvE enemies in Global Ops are just about the same as a human enemy (killing AI costs the enemy 10 points while human players 20, and in T9-T10 matches where human players don't die every 5 seconds but AI does, killing AI makes quite the difference, actually); of course, the most important objective is still to cap and hold points. I think AI and human enemy damage counts equally towards your overall damage pool.

All in all, it promotes quite a bit more teamwork than PvP and PvE. Usually, there is no communication in chat, but in T9 or T10 games (usually T9 and T10 get lumped together in a game) people simply know what to do to help a teammate out.

While inevitably a good chunk of the games played will not be victories (as is the way with PvP), you still get a damn high base rep if you put effort into it (usually 4000-7000 base rep in defeat for me). Even the slackers who scrape the bottom of the barrel are usually left with at least 4000 base rep (compare PvE where you might be lucky to get 4000 base rep with a victory on a medium-long match).

The best thing is the dynamicism of the battlefield; there are too many changing factors to count. While the desert map is currently the only map hosting Global Ops, it is the biggest map in AW, and the battlefield is changing every 15 seconds (no exaggeration). Both classic PvP and PvE are pretty much the same mindless stop point and shoot.

 

[GreiverBlade]

Nah... Not higher I got more Cr and rep in pve than those 2 result you posted above ( and i mean premium to premium )


Will not even try it, I don't like at all "cap'n hold" and "rushcap" games.

G-ops is not for me.

 

[GreiverBlade]

previsions for rebalance 2.0 .... grim ... let's see ...

too much changes to not make one not feeling unsafe despite the "you will like it", i don't know ... dmg and hp pool standardization? removale of SPG's ? change on on tiers for some old model and introduction of news? i wonder how they will handle the swap they meant for the premiums ... for the std vehicle i don't care ... no money involved (or rather not gift for most prem i have ) oh well who will live will see ...

meanwhile ...
for once i got good result with my Exp.T.Reaper ... (as i said .... grim )


bye bye my K/D ratio on the T-14 .... i lost one ... (not shown ... )


VBR and M1134 ATGM : can't touch this ...


and the usual in T9/10

 

[Michalrutek]

So, its been a while since I posted on the forum, or generally be active.
But Since I heard that aw was going to get its long awaited "update 1,9" and with it the "balance 2.0" I had to go and play and see the "greatness" that the Mail.ru overlords have prepared for us!

It all looked nice, got partial compensation for all the retrofits I had, got some of my vehicles go several tiers up (ex The glorious Cent120 got into tier 9) and I got some gold for all the camos I lost.
But the more I looked the more problems I have seen.

First of all the "If you obtained any amount of Reputation, the vehicle will become fully unlocked with all of its upgrades available. Upgrades installed before the update will remain installed" was the biggest lie I have ever seen in my life...
Most of my vehicles that got "any" amount of reputation didn't get anything. And all the retrofits that were supposed to be compensated for... nothing... DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DID THE TIER 9 RETROFITS COST??? (A full leo2a6 retrofit upgrade costed me more than 9mil credits!) And the most annoying thing I have seen... (please keep in mind that the cent is now a tier 9 and I did have it fully upgraded) I can't unlock A tier 10 tank... I have a fully upgraded tier 9 and the option is there... but I can't use it. It looks like its been used up. But I haven't unlocked any tier 10 yet...

So yeah, so far it looks like the new update has more problems than fixes... and I don't feel like playing it now... Great job Obs... I mean Mail.RU!

actually not bad ... i got all prem tanks i sold back for free plus the progression reset (which yielded me 13k gold and a free T-72B3 )

errrr ... yep quite disturbing new start but still ...

SPG are ... funny now ... i love the 155 ... the only vehicle where i do 1k and above per shot



my new favortie Leo ... i pass on the fact that the armor package is Deisenroth since RUAG does a similar package for the 2A4/Pz87 and the Dragun is to be tested ... tho on proving ground : not bad


i unlocked most tank i wanted (T9 T10 ) did a swap since i took the Armata for now and also ... still plenty cash and exp left

1st.....i am so sorry for BUMP....

but, how do you scaling for UI with 2160p in this game ??

in war thunder and world of tanks, both of them have the option to resize the DPI setting, but not in this game..... because all UI its look like i am playing with UI for 1080p, eventhough the display of 2160 is selected correctly......
