Also, fuck Wargaming. Somebody on the forum pointed out, how the difference between real-life dimensions of the Jagdtiger and the new Russian tier X TD is just 50 centimeters in height (the russian being smaller by that much). for that "drastic" difference  (other dimensions are kind of the same), the Russian TD gets TWENTY TIMES more camo value than the JT.

Well, it's hardly linear in real life, is it?  A tank that's 1 meter high is probably more than three times as stealthy as the tank that's 3 meters high.

It may not be linear, but if you look at all of the tanks the camo values seem to have only a loose relationship to their actual size. 

Some of the weirdest are the tanks that for some reason don't lose much camo when they fire or move.  I can kind of get that for TDs versus other tanks, but it isn't remotely consistent.

Yes. And when my 3-skilled, 100%, camo-netted, binoculared, prone-sitting JT gets spotted by a T30 which it cannot see in return, you know something is fucked up.

Maybe you're just twitchy?  I find it best to not drink a lot of coffee before I play a TD I'm going to snipe with...

Oooh, that DOES look pretty.  I so love a nice backdrop to virtually killing people & breaking shit.  Looking forward to leaves fluttering down from the tops of walls that I shoot with HE to expose my targets...

[C.C.R.]

Wow.  Not generally a whiner, but this one annoyed me:

Mountain Pass, Tier IX battle, in my Ferd with mid-level engine & 88 gun (cheaper ammo, faster reload & better pen than 10.5, don't have 12.8 researched yet).  Started north side, was only one to go to bridge.  Was holding off a SuperPershing, a VK3601H & another Ferd single-handedly.  Maybe I would have won out, maybe not, but I would have been occupying three enemy tanks for Awhile -- had not my dumbass teammates let two M18's in right up the middle & behind me.  Fuckers took what would have been, at worst, A Valiant Holdout & turned it into a steamy pile of net-credit loss crap.  Fuckers...

Wouldn't have happened if you ever platooned with me still
