Re: CPAC "racial tolerance" event turns ugly

Yeah, from what I understand this was not the only racial incident at the conference. A black man tried discussing race at one of the booths and ended getting screamed at by a white guy who believed race doesn't matter.

Re: Falklands referendum: Voters choose to remain UK territo

The only reason the referendum is not the real end of the issue is the nations like China and Russia do NOT want the possibility of regions gaining or changing sovereignty via a simple vote. They have too many ethnic minorities in concentrated areas for that to be an acceptable notion for them, not ...

I'm pretty sure O'Keefe will get some conservative sugar-daddy to pay his tiny little fine and he will continue on his merry way since laws only apply to little people.

Re: World of Tanks Mark 2

The only time I suicide a match is when I am driving one of my tier 9's and I see 4 or 5 arty per side. It is just not worth the frustration and time to play a match like that, I'll soak the credit loss.

I feel your pain. I've had (highest in my memory) a 5600+ damage, 4 kill loss in my E-50 before. It was fucking painful that I couldn't drag that team kicking and screaming into a win.

Re: World of Tanks Mark 2

Arty as it currently is, should not be in this game at all. It is a horrible mechanic and just makes the camo and spotting problems even worse to promote even more camping. The only real solutions are a no arty option or removal from the game, but WG will likely never do either. As for arty being he...

Re: World of Tanks Mark 2

Yeah, the arty nerfs make little sense to a lot of people. It basically makes arty more annoying to drive, more easily killed once found, and more punishing to readjust aim on. Perhaps the HE radius nerf + aim penalty will address some of the problems but I doubt it. You can't really balance a weapo...

Re: World of Tanks Mark 2

M4 Sherman with the 105 heat gun is one of the most OP tanks in the game right now, if you use all gold rounds. Its only real contender for that title is the SU-26 which is just insane for a tier 3 arty.

Anyone else seen a weird increase in shells getting eaten by tracks? Both my T34 and E50 had multiple shells just disappear into tracks yesterday.
