Personally, since the Beta, everything looks bigger/closer to me.  

I also have noticed that Air to Air targets seem closer, no complaints from me though.

Many have claimed the "over" effectiveness of the Shermans in the past, and the inbalance of the perk system...

Is the Sherman now more worth its perk value?

Just thinking out loud...

I'm very curious about next tours GV stats :)

No complaints either.  It'll just take some getting used to.

Seems odd that all the "gv experts" seem to be having such problems adapting to the "new" ballistics.

For me its more a combination of the stutters and now I cant even gv normally.  It wasnt about camping and such it was more about seeing that gv and knowing where to aim, now i'm all messed up.

I have the same problem with flying. Everything seems really off, but I wait until all those technical problems are solved, before I start to look if it's just me or if something has changed.

im going with belial on this. i was with him tonight and something isnt right. i was even experiencing weird things in my t34-85, like not being able to kill a t34-76 after directly hitting it with 20 rounds of hvap in all kill places along with another 15 rounds of normal ap from a close distance.

Is it that something isn't right?  Or is is that something is different?

Can you illustrate it?

Not sure about 85 vs 76 model but t34/76 vs t34/76 if you dont hit in the right place can take 30-50shots! Try getting into a gv battle in EW.  ;)

What would convince both sides to end the argument?

I don't tank, but I have two desktops, one with the old and one with the new version. I'd be willing to do a comparison if you'd like...

Do it. Please repeat my test.

But I doubt if you can repeat my results too, it would "convince" the other side...

'gv experts?" " new ballistics?"

What gv experts & what new ballistics? I don't think there is either & why would it "be odd" for them if there was new ballistics?

I hope the over modelled Sherman has been fixed but that is doubtful.

There is very little consistency with gv's so this might just be another.

Pending screenshots, I'm going with Lusche and other empirical testers over the guys with a gut feeling.

I typically spend more time GVing each camp than any other category and have since AW.  I haven't had a chance to try the Sherman yet but the Panzer, Tiger and T-34/85 seem normal as do the Wirble and Osti.

One thing I did notice today though was sometimes I didn't see a puff of dust or a splash (against LVT's) when firing and, with no reference, that makes it harder to range.

Guess I'll have to try the Shermie but I typically don't like it's slower rate of fire.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
