Meanwhile due to how Gaijin has coded barbettes US Standards (Nevada and the new one) can get ammoracked and sent back to port with six inch HE. All it takes is a few fragments hitting your 13" of barbette armor and you're done for.

This sounds like the german tanks have a 25% chance to catch fire while being hit (not penned) that Snail said was an "error" and then they encrypted the game code.

Or the invisible, weightless 100mm armor plate behind the mantlet the IS-6 had for a while.

Don't worry. They've moved on from such shameless "errors" and now rely heavily on listening to extremely dubiously bug reports, disregarding well-researched ones, and outright lies. "Igla can't pull close to 20gs therefore the Stinger can't no matter what your primary sources state" and other Russian bullshit.

Speaking of stingers. They should let the the stingers lock on to ground vehicle engines. I know that's been done before IRL(It won't do much to an IT-1 or a tank thought) and it would be funny as fuck to see AA missiles being used as a counter to fuck with ATGM carriers. Also, IDK why they put ITO-90 but not the French Crotale predecessor. Probably because it'd make CAS players REEEE so hard because of a dual IR/Radar missle on a larger jeep with a low profile at the same time as ROLAND (TBH they should add 9K33 OSA as well).
That being said, it's just a shitty knock off clone of the HQ-7.
I can think of a few other egregious incidents:
1) Yak-3 models (origin of the sekret dokkument meme). Shit could pull a cobra maneuver in RB/SB
2) Soviet sight ports eating projectiles with 2000mm of armor instead of just penning the sight like irl (good examples: T-55AM-1, Bias-6, T-10M), they just do it slightly less often now.
3) XP-55 assender FM being literally broken (it was a literal box for the frame lmao)
4) STRF 9040 with the RBS 50 top attack munition (how they programed the top attack lmao)
5) Poor Sherman Jumbo because of Wheraboos.
6) HESH nerf... I miss the British death star just deleting USSR tanks from orbit.

To be fair on the invisible 100mm air gap, the Type 74 (STB-1 as well) have had that as a feature they "forgot" about until sometime after they introduced muh Abrams and T-72, they didn't model composite armor when they were first introduced..Because instead of fixing penetration calculations in general due to the upper gun mantlet's odd geometry (you could get like 9000mm of armor lmao) they just nerfed it to shit. They also recently removed the second reverse gear except on the premiums Type-74G despite the STB-1 being documented with one because "not reliable source". Which reminds me to grind the french line because if I wanted to rush b like a tard I'd play the USSR, if I wanted to camp like a little bitch I'd play the British, and if I wanted to complain about armor values while suicide rushing I'd play the Germans.
Noo stalker child, I just wanted to brawl in a glass autoloaded cannon for shits and giggles and use my engine compartment as armor.

Poor everything American at that BR. The Easy Eight, the T25 (lost its vert stab, not moved down, stuck at 6.3 still), Pershing moved to the same BR as the upgraded ones despite not having any real advantages. If its American and the Germans can't pen it on the UFP just by clicking, it gets moved up.

Because copypasta. Why make 2 slightly different vehicles when 1 vehicle will do just as good pidor?

Also drivers hatches and mg ports are just a result of volumetric bullshittery. At this point I'm not even mad anymore, I have accepted it as just "one of those things".

It went from 15/20 times to 10/20 times for soviet tanks. It's especially egregious with HEAT/HEAT-FS rounds. I know because Japan has to snipe shot those or the gun breech to have a chance with any of the USSR tanks at 9.0.
Also they added a CTWV RCV which is a Type 16 but with a gigantic digital periscope. Whose betting that overpressure will hull break even if it hits the extended (3m) scope lmao.
Edit: LMAO it's at 9.7. Useless lineup, since you either use lower BR the Type 74s (9.0) have a 160 degree frontal dead arc they can't pen for Russian and Chinese tanks at that tier unless you snipe a sight or the gun breech, or go up to 10.00 and then suffer from top tier shenanigans.

XM800T buff as if that thing wasn't annoying as fuck, reverse speed from 14km to 43 km wew.
Soviet 45mm vodka launcher on planes get ap belt lmao. Expect to get CAS'd into oblivion by shitviets
BT-5 bugfix on fueltank location despite muh sekret dokkuments.
Low tier Japan got "corrected" gear ratio.
M60sm M46, M47s got reverse speed buff

It's like Japanese 6.3 (three tanks + an "SPG" lmao), except Japan gets lolpen with 152mm @ 60 via HEAT-FS with the STA-1. Only the soviets/UK get a better lineup with the IS-2 and ASU-85
(150mm @ 60) at 6.3 or the Ratel 90 (175mm at 60) with Charioteer/Centurion. Everyone else is one or two vehicles at that BR. It's also got the typical gun mantlet bounce meme of most japanese MBTs (except at the side of the mantlet instead of the top half)..

And the RP bonus is still gone lol. In all honesty it was pretty dogshit but it was at least something.

The RP bonus debacle was just an IQ test on the community of the game. Most of the mongoloids were voting and asking for a 10% bonus for like 10 matches which would require you to play 10 matches of your maxed nation. At 10 min a match that's 1 hour and 40 minutes so you can get 10% more to base RP for 1 hour and 40 minutes. It was so bad even Gaijin had to step in and pick the less moronic option.

As if the sekret dokkument leaks weren't proof the playerbase was room temperature (deg C) IQ on average.

the bonus doesn't work like that, it only applies the bonus to nations you *haven't* gotten a top vehicle in yet, it's the "new tree bonus" for a reason

I swear this is the snail way of compensating for the M47 reverse speed "buff" or putting USSR CAS on to par with US CAS (Lmao P-47, F4U line). I started running CAS ASAP (I hate running CAS) and then run CAP after killing any AA players because I got tired of being bombed to death in my open top TDs and glass cannon French/Japanese tanks right after this patch.

The Yak-9T (and K)'s been a meme since the OBT and especially when the K was introduced in 1.33 lmao. They used to have a UFO FM before the theromdynaimics update... Just watch as these get brought into top tier and wreck MBTs again.
Thankfully the TIS-MA is a event vehicle (just watch as they release it for sale), the TU-1 is a $35 USD premium, and the SU-8 a battlepass reward. The 37mm are still deadly but the IL-2s and SU-6 die to 109s or glorious US 12.7s and the Laag-3-34 is a premium.

Which leaves you with the Yak-9K, Yak-9T and the Yak-9UT to use.
For these thankfully the 37/45mm Nudelman-Suranov is really hard to use on the single engines. If you struggle with that on the US line use the P-63 or the XP-55 Ass-ender. Never pull up above the plane and never head on it.

CAP in GRB is the best way to play ARB. No markers, random player AA to worry about, no climbing for 10 minutes just to be out-climbed by a XD-PEEPEE-55. True patrician gameplay.

Base AAA is anathema to paper-machete Japanese planes. I'd do it if a single glance wasn't enough to burn down my plane lmao. I'm having way too much fun dunking on Yak 9s and the other 45mm USSR Ground attackers right now.
