VSL is stronger alternative. Funnily enough PG G43 are worth using after so many years of been meme upgrade.

I've heard a lot about G43 Pgrens being able to rompstomp over whatever they want but I've never seen it in action. What's the stat difference between their default STG's vs the G43 upgrade that makes them so superior?

i dont think voicing against the removal of core mechanics like abandon and mgc is due to lack of basic understanding of the game.

again, your post proves what i felt earlier. about the elistist pov, discussing on concepts like this, concepts over in game results, about shooting down people, about randomness is bad mechanics, about the need to align with the hulks and the 'pros', about lack of contribution because some are not elite enough to join in the chorus for removal of abandon.

i guess life is bad mechanic too.

You are a daft boy and you make me angry.

My only hope is you come around and change your perspective, but until then have fun in rank 2000 forever with your unwillingness to learn and baseless claims with no merit as everyone laughs at you for your willful incompetence while anyone who tries to help you is labeled elitist. I only hope for your sake that doesn't carry over into your personal life.

how many games have you lost to abandon btw? do you just critise this mechanical because it does not conform to predicable expectations?

the counterplay is to destroy or recrew your abandon tanks. i mean if you allowed the opponents to crew and repair and reused against you, why cant you do it faster than them?

Did you read anything I said? Do you comprehend words and concepts? This has nothing to do with my personal experience with abandon. It happens for me, it happens against me. It's fundamentally poorly designed is my point because it doesn't fit with other concepts of RNG the game is based around. The point of RNG mechanics is to provide a working system for conceptual play for strategic purposes while not having every result be purely binary in minor way with a win if I "x" or lose if I "y" way. Abandon and MGC deny strategic play, and if they happen will result in a much more severe I win the game if I "x" (Get the abandoned vehicle) or lose the game if I "y" (Opponent gets the abandoned vehicle).

Yes you can sometimes destroy the vehicle, sometimes you can't. When you can't the game is lost for whoever is on the unfortunate side of the abandon. The defending player is almost always going to result with the abandoned tank because players generally will be fighting over the defending players side of the map and the attacking player will likely have a lot more losses due to being the attacker. Like I literally don't know how to explain this to you any better.

Final try, Accuracy and Pen RNG mechanics good because strategy fun, Abandon and MGC mechanics bad because no strategy not fun.

what? im open with tweaking abandon and randomness but against completely dropping it unlike pip

im definitely against the elitist view that randomness is a low skill low effort mechanic

Okay. In that case let me try to explain the point of RNG mechanics in a way that helps you differentiate good and bad rng.

So lets take a Gren vs Conscript match up. In every case that occurs (not just arbitrary ones), accuracy dictates that the Grens will win at long range because their long range accuracy chance is higher than the conscripts. The random roll of accuracy says that when given the odds, Grens will hit more shots at distance killing and forcing away the cons. So as the Soviet player, your goal is to maximize your accuracy by getting as close as possible since your numerical superiority and higher relative accuracy at close range will out muscle the Grens and force them away. This is how to use RNG mechanics to provide a dynamic and interesting fight because there is always the odds that the Conscripts at long range will plink a Gren model early, or the Grens will bully the Cons but in likely odds the winner will be whoever takes the engagement correctly and at worst you will have a 40 to 60 Manpower penalty for not being in the gods favor. Hardly a punishment but enough to keep things interesting. This is a core tenant of the game in many facets.

Now, when you take abandon or MGC mechanics. Things turn a lot harder in a negative way. The high rarity of these instances means that you cannot actively frontline consider them when making decisions as they often run counter-productive to winning an engagement. Not to mention if you were to consider them as your primary concern, games would quickly become defensive slogs with no interesting attacks and mere poking at each other from distance. Some people might like that but lord are they boring to play and to watch. But anyway, when looking at the other instance of RNG in the above paragraph, the main selling point is that it provides a constantly applying dynamic way to maneuver and take engagements to provide yourself the highest chance of success. You cannot fundamentally do this with abandon or MGC because they are arbitrarily divvied out by raw rng with no pre-emptive counter play. They happen on a whim and when they do happen in such an uncontrollable fashion you often lose the game as you've taken a roughly 400-800 Manpower disadvantage, and a 100 - 200 Fuel Disadvantage. This is harsh and destructive unlike a small engagement that results in a minor manpower loss. Those resources going directly to your enemy or being taken away from you in these instances is unpreventable in any logical scenario.

I just want you to see how it's not the act of RNG that people are upset with seeing as the game is based around the concept, but the implementation of it that goes against core game philosophy and only causes frustration when it occurs. It's a mechanic that actively hurts the game.

Honestly Tournament and Automatch should be using the same balance patches, which should be the one tailored for "Tournament mode". It doesn't make sense for the game to change between the two "modes", and it makes things even less consistent.

I agree completely, but for lack of changing automatch abandon immediately, I'm glad the tournament mod exists for tournaments atleast until it gets changed.
