Re: Royal Equestrian Armored Division

[Valikdu]

I recently found the joy of mounting the 7.92mm Mauser on my PzI C. Bahahah, bow before the 253 RoF and 33 penetration! The thing just chews through anything it can penetrate, and I don't have to aim for weakspots in a pinch-- it spits out so many rounds a few are bound to find some!

Also, it's the reason for my Pz. S35 having a ton of Cool-Headed and Spartan metals.

[StoneSlinger88]

It seems to like throwing me in Tier V matches with my PzI C, so I just zip around the map while everybody takes pot shots at me and misses. Occasionally I'll find a spot and pepper mediums and heavies with 7.92mm rounds, to do nothing more than annoy them and screw with their aim.

Nothing funnier than watching half the enemy team shoot at you and all miss. And there was that time I jumped it off a cliff and landed on an M2 Medium... And that "Ally" is from a dingus who drove in front of me when I was in the middle of firing. Just a ricochet, luckily.

M4 gold rounds need to go away. Forever.

[Vergil]

Going to take my clan into CW for the first time on Monday.

I'm sure it will be an "experience" for them.

I was right:



IT...WAS...AWESOME (by the way, apparently I command the French Army)

I presume you mean the 105mm Howitzer HEAT rounds. You'll be glad to hear they are confirmed for a major nerf coming into the next patch from 150ish penetration to about 100.

God bless that brave little Panzer 1 C.

[Vergil]

He literally outdamaged a Maus

[StoneSlinger88]

I'm surprised they could actually hit him.

[RoboRed]

The splash damage from one of those things could've even killed him.

Argh, just looking at this pic reminds me how badly I want my Leopard 1. You going to be on tonight, Vergil?

[Vergil]

I'm surprised they could actually hit him.

He only got killed right at the end of the match by the M103 as we were capping.

Yes, but we're attacking another province so I'm not sure how available I'll be.

[RoboRed]

Well played.

Yes, but we're attacking another province so I'm not sure how available I'll be.

Well, we'll just have to see what happens, then.

[RoboRed]

I have a small treat for you gents in a bit (as soon as it uploads).

[RoboRed]

Done. So, this happened in a game last night (some of the comments in the vid are pretty funny):

[Vergil]

We just won a 10v15 with that Frenchie rush

good god

[StoneSlinger88]

I love light tanks that think they can go toe-to-toe with my Hetzer. Had six rush me while I was the only one protecting a way into the city, and the only way to flank a few friendly mediums. It didn't end well for the lights. HE tracks 'em every time, and with a little artillery support...

[Vergil]

Done. So, this happened in a game last night (some of the comments in the vid are pretty funny):

Well, I'm a fan.

Clan Wars: Souss-Massa-Draâ, landing, battle with owner
Complete: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 9:58:39 PM
[1STCD] ! 1st Cavalry Division ! vs. [3AD] Sea Haven 3rd Armored
Victory!

[StoneSlinger88]

Let me express my love for the Pz III. No less than FOUR direct hits from artillery. Multiple bounced from flak cannons, other from mediums and lights. Ammo rack, tracks, periscope, driver, all hit. Still got kills.

The thing just flat out refuses to die sometimes.

[RoboRed]

Pz 3 was alright once I got upgrades and crew for it.

[StoneSlinger88]

And a miraculous victory has occurred. Our remaining team outnumbered almost three to one, a light tank and an SPG held off four enemy tanks at our base long enough for me to get there. Unfortunately, the light and SPG were destroyed shortly before I arrived with Big Daddy Derp. They left three plump targets trying to cap for me, which I knocked out in short order. Across the map, a spunky little M5 held off three attackers, eventually earning the final kill as I raced to meet him, nailing one target on the way.

Final count? Five kills for me, six for the M5.

Spoiler:

[Vergil]

Pz 3 was alright once I got upgrades and crew for it.

The Panzer III is a cruise missile and I love it.

[RoboRed]

I've kept mine in case of needing to attend lower tier battles again.

Say, how much longer you going to be on tonight? I get off work in roughly half an hour.

[Vergil]

I'm about to crash unfortunately. Going to be any earlier tomorrow? If not at the least I'll be around Friday.

[RoboRed]

Sure, I can be up early tomorrow. Got a time?

[Vergil]

Sure, I can be up early tomorrow. Got a time?

I meant earlier in the evening in case I worded that badly...I should be back between 5:30 and 6est. We have to defend again (!) so at the latest I'll be around then.

[RoboRed]

No, it's my fault. I realized immediately after posting that I completely misread that like a derp, and I didn't feel like going into edit mode on the phone. Question still applies, though. And yeah, I can definitely make that time.

[RoboRed]

8.6 test client is up.

[Fuzzy]

Listing the important changes, big awesome/important things in bold.

However, the biggest thing they needed to change, the price of the 20 Pounders has once again been completely ignored.

So now we have a nerfed 20 Pounder and it still costs the same.

  </li>
  
• For heavy tanks of more than 70 tons added super-heavy spall liner with additional absorption coefficient of 30%
  

This will be amazing for the TOG-II and Tortoise. Not to mention for the British AT line, it nicely curves back that arty weakness, maybe even on a Caernarvon?
Increased income for high tier tanks (the full list of changes will be available later in a special appendix):

• For tier 10 vehicles (except for SPGs) income increased in average by 10%.
  
• For tier 9, 8, 7, 6 vehicles (except SPGs) income also increased but not as much as for tier 10 vehicles.
  

Removed decreasing coefficients of XP received from dealing damage on TD
an SPG. TD’s will receive 33% XP from damage, while SPG owners will
notice 50% boost in the same parameter
Added ‘assist’ bonus for tracking enemy: if you track enemy and allies
deal damage to it, or even destroy it, you will receive an XP bonus.
Mechanism will work similarly to current damage on spotted vehicles
mechanics

• Overall velocity of SPGs’ shells decreased (10-15% for regular guns and 50% for short ‘mortar’ guns)
  
• Most of SPGs receive an increase in reloading time by average of 10-20%
  

Middle Tier HE shells (105-122 mm) armor penetration was significantly decreased (Possible KV-1S nerf?)

[Ketchup]

Cool beans, moving up to T7 with artillery, looks like some good changes overall. I love a tracking XP bonus.
But we shall see.

[RoboRed]

I hope they haven't increased the price of those moved-tier arties. I sold my Grille recently, but in the case that I ever feel like going back to it...
