u/CoinTurtle

Started a week ago, after a day I drank from a glass with a bit of white mold. I don't take steroids, no inhaler, nothing like that, albeit as someone who barely ate any sugar and tiny amount of carbs I have increased that since I moved to uni and live on my own.

It can be partially scraped off and there is a green-ywllow coating that tries to appear over my tongue.

Hope the pic is good enough

Bought this since they were being sold for a couple quid. Seems like they're Danish UN Brassards of some sort. Anyone can confirm their authenticity?

There are no markings.

The tank is just fabulous and 100% feels OP at moments. The gun is there, the armour is there, the mobility is mostly there, it can hold its own. "It was perfect, perfect, down to the last minute detail."

The gun is great, you have accuracy, good aim time never feeling like I'm sitting there aiming and missing much shots. The alpha is there alongside ROF and penetration when you look at the full package is deserved, yet not unworkable.
Doubling is pure ecstasy (but be prepared to be trolled sometimes) and makes it a good way to squeeze out extra damage before an engagement is over or you die, often being difference between saving/losing your mark.

Everyone knows the armour is perfect. Borderline bs with UFP being trolly af even on flat ground and when wiggling it can feel like an E5 level of troll and concentration needed to nail a shot. Cupola is super hard to hit (yet I've had people often snapshit me in it anyway...) and when hulldown.
Thanks to the way gun camera works in relation to which gun is open, you can often side scrape and be basically invulnerable apart from thin shots which feels borderline unfair and is just a mini-705A package in this thing.

Mobility is the only lackluster thing in this tank which is completely valid. You are huge and kinda slow. Turbo is a must, the higher 'rarity' the better with Bond Turbo almost completely nullifying the mobility issues.

Overall 10/10. Feels braindead easy to play, works hulldown or not, great gun, good mobility with turbo. Should be nerfed.

So was it worth marking it Alice? >!No, I peaked at 93.5% and then midnight MM hit forcing me back to 91% and having to reclimb for 3 more hours as I was determined to go from 2-3 mark in one sesh. I FINISHED MARKING IT AT 4AM. SUPER expensive to run with constant gold spam and doubling, even on great games you won't break even as it the -1.5M credits wasn't evident.!< >!If you also read this far down, have a small clip compilation I did early in my session for fun, naively thinking I'd be done with it quick and easy.!<

The tank is annoying honestly. It feels dated and yeah, do not recommend 3-marking it to anyone. However, for a money making premium it is alright. It has some semblance of armour, gun is good on paper and is quite mobile. But with how you need to play to mark it, it just becomes quite bad.

The gun is 50/50. The soft stats, dispersion etc are good. However the penetration feels lackluster without gold rounds and that 1569m/s shell velocity. The gun still feels super troll and misses often combined with the low alpha of 320 which is super dated (worse than even an Obj 140) makes every missed shot hurt a lot when you need to hit 2754 DPG. Often ended up relying on spotting/assistance early game or to save my mark.

The armour is alright simply. The hull can bounce shots with you play hulldown and I've had high pen guns bounce at extreme angles which I've noticed. However, the turret is just annoying. It was alright before 2.0 when it was troll and you didn't know where to shoot as it was all troll. Now, people do not hesitate usually, they just aim center mass of your turret and whether they hit mantlet, or side of the turret its a 50/50 on blocking or pen. It is the opposite of a hulldown tank imho.

Mobility is just good shrug. It is nimble and fast, can relocate and take early positions like castle on Erlenburg. Mobility is a simple 5/5.

Overall, marking it is a pain in the arse. You have to brawl more to mark it since that is where all the HP is but that is where your already mediocre armour turns into mostly butter and praying to bounce hulldown. Your 320 alpha means no one is scared of you and you are dragging yourself up to the 3-mark requirement. The armour is nothing to rely on, mobility is great and gun is good on paper but is just annoying to use.
For a credit grinder it is alright provided you don't spam full gold. This tank could really do with a buff to alpha, up to maybe 340 like Object 140.

OLD CLIP
Was listening to Shook Ones remix and I managed to get this which went VERY hard with the 'cutscene'.

Lemme pre-face this. I do NOT hate the tank itself. But, the MM + maps that this tank requires to have any fun and perform well without making risky plays makes this tank infuriating. It is a cool gimmick and tank, it is brought down by MM + maps.

The gun is great. I used 120mm. Great gun handling but requires loads of snaps due to cupola and pixel spots on your turret hence why I run stab/exp turbo. I have tried the 105/120 and initially like the 105 for DPM. However, in the end alpha reined supreme with nice 440 which was very punchy. However, it lacks penetration which can be a pain in the arse often making Maus' cheeks tight shots, even angled LFPs at moments.
The shell velocity is also nice not being slow but not also super speedy.

The armour is great but unreliable. Long and weak turret sides means crossfires or any 2 targets on either side of you puts you at big risk of being penned. You have loads of weird pixel spots on the turret that can in theory be penned, and sometimes do. Your cupola is much bigger than it comes off as so after each shot you should shoot your turret up as they're most likely aiming for that. But you need to know when not to raise it too much as your underside of the turret is also weak. There are times that you get penned in the 2x trunnions that support the turret, you cannot hide that. Frankly each peak is risky, whether you play correctly or not, people will get lucky and pen you. But that doesn't mean you should hold yourself back in hull down positions when the situation is manageable.
We don't talk about hull armour, there is none.... but tracks with thoughtful wiggling has let me absorb a few shots!

Mobility is standard. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. It does need a turbocharger though.
Many people do not find reverse track mechanic too useful. Whilst it does not come into play often, it does allow for you to basically never stay stationary as being fully tracked is super rare, even by arty. This means arty tracking you around a corner wont often result in you being yolo peaked. I could see arguments for ditching hardening and going rammer, turbo, stab due to reverse track. However the weak ammo rack + placement means any hull shot at the front often results in one.

Overall its a unique tank sure, but not worth playing it with current mm + maps. You are SUPER INFLEXIBLE and can only play well on ridge lines or when hiding hull. If you can't you have nothing but some nice alpha and people ARE NOT scared of you and will happily yolo rush you. I would say only 1/3 of the top tier maps are suitable for it which is small.
For the gimmick, derpy look and occasional banger match on Lakeville it is great, but for prolonged usage it is annoying and unreliable. 7/10

Nice 2 mark game. Not 3 marking this tank cus it feels like an outdated POS. Forced to run Exp Turbo, Stab + Rammer to make gun bearable and mobility any decent.

Btw, what happened to the flairs?

How do you fuck it up three times in a row.

MORE IMAGES TOMORROW OF HELMETS

This is the collection of a friend's friend and I will be able to hopefully choose 1-2 items there as part of a favour he is owed. I am quite interested in the Whitewash helmet but am super skeptical of that paint condition being too good for anything I can find on these sorta forum collections and elsewhere. Also interested in the chicken wire helmet on the very left and the grey one on the very right.
I just want your people's opinion on this stuff at a glance before I get some more high quality photos tomorrow when my friend goes there.

Interesting find at an antique shop that I can't find any info online about these sort of things. Anyone come across such a thing?

Staring: Sunny Smiles, Ulysses, God, Cass and me.

I saw a cool deal on a deactivated CARCANO M91 CARBINE under the "New EU Deactivation"

I am confused by the description: "has a moving bolt and trigger, but non firing action". So, I can pull the trigger, I can cycle the action, but I am to understand correctly it cannot dry fire and you can't insert stripper clips into it?

Thanks for help in advance!

So I am no expert on Soviet related things, aside from WW2 I love Soviet stuff originating from Russia. What I do know is that for authenticity I should look at the camo itself and whether it is truly pixelated and not blurred which it isn't, nice pixelation. However the buttons look unworn likely replaced.
Finally the seller is from Kazakhstan which imo gives it a bit more authenticity. WHat do you think? I find quite a few of these on ebay from various sellers from the middle east which makes me believe it was quite a common thing to be left behind maybe?
Also does anyone have a size chart for this perhaps? I'm like 183cm in height.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think the badge is legit, every one I see has a much smaller and different looking one. Unfortunately once I got here by bike it was too little time to ask to see inside and get additional photos.

My tiny collection of shells/bullets I want to share. Both for £60 & £65 respectively. Gotta say, this is definitely my favourite sort of thing to collect besides replica guns.
