You need 8 million kills without dying to get that lol... He's a dev...

Firstly some fun on a nub acc: And secondly, this is rather snazzy:

I was giving you credit, not saying you needed to give it ;)

GIMP is free ;) https://www.gimp.org/

Flood hidden and posts referring to it to prevent any confusion.

Says it better than I can:

Gotta admit, its irritating when people go through all the article in the newspaper and just comment "nice" or something similar on all of them.

Credit where credit is due, this isn't bad for your first thing. Nice work, looking forward to seeing you improving as you write more.

Finally a good battle today, nice to have it with no drugs at all actually: Plus this + 3rd mission earning 300xp in poly worth 1675 too. So a decent day in this acc at least.

I don't write particularly often, so I don't bother with it, back when I first joined it was ~Lham~ and then I made this ages ago: :lol:

3 posts? :ph34r:

It's always like that, announcements have to be written, and then put into the game.

At least you've learnt to quote properly. I see. Disagreeing with your point of view = ignoring it. I would like you see your side on the distance and closing speed numbers. I am a helper of this game, and am held to higher standards. I cannot have people banned simply because I disagree with their point of view on something. I see. People who don't agree with you = lazy because obviously if they actually checked they'd completely agree with you. And being rude to people who disagree with you (Or you believe to be stupid) will get you nowhere. So you've been looking over my shoulder and know my actions better than myself? Both of these have nothing to do with anything. I am not saying my argument is correct because I have done all these things, nor am I saying you're wrong so I'm going to have you banned. You questioned my intelligence, so I am providing evidence that I am, in fact, intelligent. And if you cannot have a civil discussion with people, then there are consequences. This makes no sense. I see. Not coming round to your point of view obviously means I didn't read your incredibly persuasive argument. I saw that one about 4 quotes up. My original post in this topic was a neutral comment on a topic that interested me, and you decided to escalate it by insulting me in your reply. Therefore my response was also escalated. My closing speed calculations are based on the scenario of the twins moving towards the Rico to get within damage range. If the Rico also moves, it gets worse for the twins as the gap closes even more slowly. Maybe ask for clarification next time, instead of just dismissing it. Oh, and explain this please: http://ru.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=817892

Should have got them now.

Oh for goodness sake, please quote properly! Not only is it harder to read, it makes it much harder to then quote your post. And yes it does matter, it takes longer to read and is harder on the eyes. If you want the credibility being around for a long time has, post from that account then. #VerySpecificSituation It's a difference of 60m. An M4 Wasp will take over 4 seconds to cover that distance. In 4 seconds an M3 Rico can kill an M4 Wasp. My M4 Viking will take 6.5 seconds to cover that distance. An M3 Rico can kill an M4 Viking in that time. It is significant. Don't call other people out for not using cold hard facts and numbers, then dismiss my facts and numbers with generalised statements when it doesn't suit your argument. I see you've let my advice go in one ear and straight out the other as you've just responded in the same way that you do to anyone who seems to disagree with you, with assumptions, petty insults and digs at my intelligence. Do you really think I didn't read everything in this topic multiple times? I did not get to be an admin, work 8 different jobs, be three times helper of the year, helper of the month 13 times straight and be widely respected in this community by being stupid. This is now your first and only warning, any more and and a ban will be considered. Well you should, it carries over to real life, cause that's how society works, your appearance always makes the first impression and is an important part of your reputation. While on the subject of reputation, if you are going to claim to have M2 Titan/Twins, post on the account that has it, otherwise people will look at your profile and just think you're a liar... Your calculations ARE for specific situations. Drug wars and 1v1s are specific types of battle, which most people don't play often (Full drug wars basically don't exist until the top ranks, and even then, smart cooldowns affect things. Proper 1v1s are usually pre arranged duels).

I've been playing this game for almost 5 and a half years, and have played with and in pretty much everything. While these graphs are interesting, DPM is only a small factor in choosing a weapon. A few examples: I play a lot with Railgun on my alt, and while it looks to have a low DPM, the ability to hide out of harms way, pop out and deal a large amount of damage instantly and then hide again (Or deal damage, take flag and run etc, basically deal damage instantly and move) makes it very effective, and often means I lose a lot less health than if I had to be in a 1v1 for 5 seconds with Twins, especially when people could be destroyed in that single shot. Another example would be when I was recently playing a drug war and defending the flag. My turret choice to start was Smoky, but I switched to Twins, not because of the DPM, but due to the fact I didn't need to reload, so using an M4 Titan, I can continuously deal damage for a long time, which was far more effective than using something like Firebird (which in the first few seconds has the highest DPM), asI could kill an enemy and instantly move on to the next, whereas I'd have to reload, possibly without killing the enemy in front of me, with Firebird. The other largest factor was what protections the other team had. When I'm thinking about what weapon to choose (I have the pleasant situation of having a full garage and a bunch of M4s) I'm not thinking about DPM, but drawing on my experience to choose the gun that is most effective for the situation I'm in, or about to join. I think the thing that matters is damage dealt until enemy is dead, sometimes for Rail that is instant, for my M4 Thunder it's 2 shots (2.5 seconds) on an M3 Hornet/Wasp, often from a distance. The factor that also needs taking into account is the fact many weapons can fire before they have fully reloaded. (For instance Rico can continuously fire, albeit at a slower rate after using its clip.) This also where your claim of M1 Twins beating M4 Rico falls down, that Rico is gonna destroy you long before it uses all its clip and you can kill it, then will reload when you respawn and repeat. To comment on the Twins vs Rico debate: Actually, the range you're looking at is the min damage range, the point at which it stops dealing damage. The max damage range has to be considered too (At M3, Twins is 15m, Rico is 76m) That's a massive difference. Twins do 4 times the damage after minute. No 1v1 ever lasts a minute. At min damage, an M3 Rico will do 311 damage in a clip, destroying my M4 Viking in 5.5 seconds. (Assuming the extra 4 damage comes from the projectiles not all actually being min damage.) M4 only takes 4.7 seconds to destroy it. (Comparing to M3 and M4 Twins, the times are identical and this continues at average and max damage) You keep saying people keep talking about specific battle cases, well, these 2 things (and therefore your calculations) are also for specific situations! In conclusion, like I said earlier, the thing that really matters in this area is damage dealt until the enemy is dead. I also want to point out that insulting people and a condescending tone does not get you anywhere and actually, as mentioned earlier in the topic, your grammar and writing does matter. Your text speak, lack of capitalisation, poor spelling, poor formatting and bad quoting make your posts much harder to read, especially on a long form environment like a forum and does not do anything positive to the way to present yourself and your reputation, which, on the internet, you need for people to take you seriously. The combination of the two makes you seem quite childish.

Oooof, Panthers O gonna have to step up in the 2nd half, Denver showing why defence wins championships!

Not that new, but a secret low ranked one that I'm now ranking up a bit.

Well, that was fun!

Good idea, done!

Fixed :ph34r:

That is true, and tbh, if Luke Kuechly gets another pick six, I won't be surprised!

The Broncos defence did a great job against the Patriots, who offence is pretty good, I'm really interested to see this match up. Manning is gonna have to be real smart to get past the Panther's D though...
