    I've never ever had a problem with BT Infinity and WoT, or any game for that matter.

    Why did they change the way the tech tree is displayed? It's so much harder to follow now.

    What has happened to my Pz4!?

    Also Yes I find the Tech tree and research tree horrible. My main issue with the research is that it hides how much vehicle specific credit you have.

    I must say though I am enjoying the go anywhere maps, its far better than getting stuck on some invisible boundary.

    Loving the game especially the post match details, new graphics, lighting and physics. All win imo.

    Need to get stuck back into WoT and see what this new update is all about. Looks quite good. I pretty much ground a halt at about level 5 tanks. Think i had a KV-1....good god its so slow!

    KV-2 is worth getting for the lulz and it's credit making ability for non premium players.

    The new patch is awesome, however the amount of no damage penetrations has gone through the roof and camouflage seems to be even more broken/op now that there is actual use for camo (although this could be due to my currently laughable GPU).

    Despite all the progress they still can't seem to fix things from a year ago.

    And what's more amazing is that the moron factor has shot up yet again. Seriously, how is there so many dumb people on one game?

    I have so many no damage pens. And a lot of bounces where is should have easily penned...and I had a guy shoot at me twice from below 100m and he did not get revealed, but if I were to shoot from 500m every *** with a barrel pointed in my general direction would shoot at me.....

    I bounced off a tier 6 arty last night with my E75 (top gun) from point blank range (face hugging)...wtf?

    I mentioned it in the clan chat as well but I also had a game two nights ago where, again in my E75, I fired 6 times, hit 5 times, had 3 critical hits yet did zero damage on all 5 hits...

    I think it has got worse since the patch.

    I'm getting the same with big-calibre guns. I had a couple of rounds last night in my E75 where I couldn't hit a barn door with a penetrating shot, at any distance. Very frustrating at 1500cr/shot!

    Yeah, I am having a really frustrating time with my E75 at the moment. I played 28 battles yesterday but only got a 46.43% victory ratio.

    I think the game has swung seriously in favour of the high tier mediums.

    The Batchat, T-62A, M48A1 and E-50M have such a high rate of fire, big guns, manoeuvrability and bouncy armour that a heavy cannot survive against one of them, never mind more than one.

    Most matches seem to have at least two or three of these per side, certainly around the double XP window (before/after 01:00am UK time).

    The russian 122mm D-25T gun doesn't seem to penetrate anything anymore, not even french tanks.
    And whats with all the TDs in battles now? It's not unusual for either one or both teams to have 6 or more in them.

    Yeah, I noticed the number of TD's, especially the T110E3, 4 & 5's. They move so fast and with turrets, they ain't TD's any more, they are tanks!

    I had four or five matches last night that had six tier 7 or 8 arty per team - it really spoiled the games, they should limit it to three arty per match imho. No one dared move out of camping cover. I thought it was supposed to be a TANK game?

    That said, it is a joy being able to disable Assault and Encounter matches in the settings now, they really annoyed me. I think it is the standard maps - they don't really suit these game modes and should have dedicated Assault & Encounter maps.

    Had yet more fun tonight (with replays to prove it). T32(fully upgraded) - 20 shots fired - 18 hits - 5 penetrations. Wtf is that? 6 of those shots were in the side (I'm talking perpendicular) of a T110, with the aim moved around just to test. Couple in the skin around(above, behind, whatever lol the favourite fuel tank spot on IS's) the tracks, couple in the hull side and a couple in the turret side. Armour is 76 hull and 127 turrent and my pen is 198? Yeah a few could bounce from angle(not sure how) and the like but damn, it's taking the piss.

    yeah zero damage pens are terrible, its now perfectly possible to get them playing as arty
    ( ive stopped shooting at Kvs unless i can see side / rear armour in my little su26 ) still not quite how a high explosive shell can zero damage penatration...but thats neither here nor there


    although if you believe the forums zero damage pens are acually server based calculations designed to throw games one way or the other

    Well if they are stooping that low it's a crazy idea. If anything the huge gunners should get more hits as reward for sticking with and paying for the game for longer. :p

    Having good fun with my JagdPanther at the moment, although with the upgraded tracks I'm starting to like my Ferdie a lot more too. It's still far too high and far too easy to penetrate, I'm getting wailed on by Tigers with the long 88's easily. :(

    Wait till you get the last gun thats the game changer with the Ferdi you can decimate them then aim for the turret and cripple the loading speed then make it into swiss cheese. Still prefer my JagPanther though more speed and mobility plus the sloped armour.
