    1. You are kind of mentally challanged if you are complaining and cry about changes to non-elite engines for that tank. Especially if it is like minor adjustments that have no influence at all,

  1. Of all the things to fix or remove they remove general chat. The stupidity of WG never ceases to amaze me

    1. As if general chat had any purpose left other than to get people chatbanned.

      And omg yes, my weeb fantasy heavies.

      1. Even if general chat had no particular purpose anymore, it wasn’t hurting anything either. What’s the point of removing it?

    2. General Chat was the hq of the most unhinged racist and dumbest shit ever… Since 2011 i stayed the fuck away from that shit… Good riddance they removed it

  2. No more general chat, that’s great. That place is a clogged latrine.

    Nerf to Valentine and Matilda though…
