Yeah elcs linked to that post as well. I'm not sure that the compressed textures modify the behavior of smoke b/c the post has a separate item for smoke. That post has a file which mods out explosions, smoke, tracers, and environmental destruction effects. Seems like a bit much to be removing; i really only want smoke gone.
Or if ditching smoke is too close to cheating, they should release a "shitty smoke" version like in CS 1.6. Looked godawful but didn't rape your framerate.
edit: if i exit the game before the battle is over, is there any way to see the 'after action report'? I know you get a little msg in the msg log indicating how much xp/credits you got, but I'd like to see how many dudes I hit and so forth too.
edit2: wtf, im face to face in my pz35t with another pz35t. I have the best cannon weapon, 41mm penetration. Distance is like 10-20m. I'm firing into his front armor which is 20mm thick. I'm bouncing constantly. His shots are all penetrating me though. ugh
Last night I was playing my T-59 in one fight and I was in a pack trying to kill another T-59. We got him down to 1% health and then I fired two consecutive shots that hit but bounced. First one bounced on the side and second bounced on mid treads. I was so pissed that happened. Other tanks had some bounces too when it got down to 1%. One of the others finally got the kill but we wasted time trying to kill a 1% tank. I hate when that happens. Kinda funny though in an odd way. Three tanks trying to kill a 1% tank and all you see is bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce...
Yeah, Type 59s seem to absolutely love to bounce. I have yet to get a gun that can reliably penetrate them from the front. Only way I ever seem to be able to damage them is if they are ignoring me and expose their sides/rear to me while going after somebody else.
8.8cm L/71 or something with ~200mm penetration. Like knife through butter.
Just got my Lee not to bad can take some damage compared to my m2 By the way ELCS your guide is awsome
Thanks. I wrote the guides to be helpful and I'm glad that they are.
Type 59 action - Prokhorovka
Another video brought to you by me. This clip is pretty much the whole match. I've used slow motion footage in the clip at two points which I think is pretty darn cool when you look at what's going on... both others have called it excessive
Enjoy!
The M3 Lee is considered by myself and many others as one of the worst tanks in the game. The German soldiers in WW2 even nicknamed it the 6-man coffin.
Prove us wrong

There are different hard spots and soft spots on every tank. With the auto cannon it's pretty much a wild shootout until one person dies, I find that the little guns have very different degrees of penetration.
In general, aim for the bottom of the chassis or the sides. If you're facing the guy, angle your tank slightly so you get better sloping for a higher armor penetration value. The bounces can very well just be he was angling his tank and you weren't.
edit: 3 new questions...
1) When did you guys get premium accounts (like i guess how far into the game)? How long a period did you get?
2) Do y'all use gold for anything besides premium accounts? (Maybe maxed crew training?)
3) Since equipment is transferable, when do you usually get that? (Like 3 things are de-mountable. The rest can be demounted for 10 gold which seems fine on an item costing 250-500k.)

3) Yup. I use it extensively on all the tank lines I am training. I started using it at tier 4.
Did you build up like 500k or whatever naturally in tier4? Or did you grind for money? B/c while I'd love to have some of the equipment, it'll be a long long time for me...
And another question: when did you guys start buying 75% crew training? (And 100% if you think spending gold on tihs is worth it.) Or did ppl grind to high crew levels from the 50% starters? PowerYoga suggested 75% training at tier4 which seems pretty reasonable.

So many t-50 and 50-2 drivers suiscout. The better ones do a delayed suiscout. The best ones understand that staying alive and pissing off the enemy movements is key. Great video, now do it on campinova and run the gauntlet multiple times against tier 8-9 tanks!Inspired by Elcs, I decided to make a little T-50 video. It's probably one of the funnest tank to drive... you can see the hairpin turns I'm making in this thing.
