The joke is that the arguments are just assertions.
Basically it says: The Stalinium components of the T tanks stop spalls better than the NATO aluminum. Or have I missed something? Or have there been real fire tests on Leopard gun mantlets and can they back up their claim?
Let’s be honest: just have balls in your pants and say clearly that the Leopards have been weakened regardless of rl performance because they are otherwise too strong in the game.
I really don’t have a problem with that. But first stuff like installing spall liners and then just making the Leopards non-functional is simply not good marketing.
Thats the part that bugs me the most. Gaijin devs being ADAMANT their modelling is as accurate as possible, followed by them quietly correcting issues at a later date. Its a massive issue imo, and a primary cause of bad blood and distrust.
Players spend hours/days of their time and their own money to make bug reports that get denied by gaijin and their secret “sources”, followed by gaijin fixing the issue at a later date without acknowledging the bug reports at all.
It’d be much better the devs stop wasting players time and just say “this vehicle/weapon has been artificially weakened to fit the current games constraints for balance purposes. Performance may be revised at a later date”
Most of those reports listed as acknowledged, with a few exceptions, took 2-3 bug reports for wording to be found where the devs wouldn’t instantly label them as not a bug. Most notably would be the reports about the Leo’s armor and more specifically the hull armor where it took more reports that I can even remember for the devs to entertain the idea that the Leo 2A7V’s hull armor isn’t drastically inferior that that of the Swedish Leos (this report still sits in acknowledged limbo).
The BVM spall angles can vary depending on where you shoot. It’s normal when you shoot rear or front, but becomes narrower when you hit the center.
I remember testing it back in 2023, and the difference comes from the turret carroussel armor, which doesn’t create any spall, but absorbs the spall created on the main flat side armor
Everyone knows Trickzzter’s opinions on things, I won’t surprise you if I tell you a big chunk of the playerbase have no trust for him, and rightfully, while they trust you more.
I understand the forums is not the best place to talk about it and I apologize if I break any rules but having a mod that openly despises a good chunk of Gaijin’s customers is odd to me.
Has anyone else noticed that recently most matches now include USSR vs USSR in GRB? Seems like we have reached the good old Murica or USSR Fotm peaks leading to these mirror matches.
The “Winning Team Joining” phenomenon. As old as there are competitive team games. Many players see the unbalanced CAS problem with the best combination in the Russian tree, lose more often than before and switch to the Russian tree (if possible). Or just play in the lower BR until the highest BR is balanced again at some point. I’m pretty free from pain. I play my A7, which can withstand significantly less without a functioning spall liner or atomic spall in the turret and is no longer much better than the A6. I am then killed 50/50 by tanks or at some point by CAS, jump into the FlaRakRad or Tiger UHT and then had fun. The win rate is still well over 50%, the KD with Leo has fallen just under 2. So on the whole there is no reason to cry with the Germans. In the CAS game, the German tree was left out anyway. Unless you take the Tornado for a 5-minute lap into the stratosphere and then drop 4 precision bombs. Not really funny.
Considering who this guy was, I don’t miss him at all, I don’t like giving money to someone who despises some of his customers, and god I do give a lot of money to gaijin :')
I agree, be he mod or not. His behavior is quite suspicious and detrimental to gaijin and will sooner or later cause another uprising or complaint wall.
it does sadly.especially when we talk about trust, of which there is not much left since the last trickzzter cases. (Especially the thing with his Twitter, that was an rule break in some certain way)
I’m not sure we can, but there is a post on the WTPU subreddit about him and someone posted the screenshots, I don’t know if I’m allowed to send a link here though
