OK everyone, I just wanted to follow up and let you know how things are going.
I've been using WP for almost a week.
To be honest, I never was (and never will be) one of those cutting edge players who can be the top scorer - game after game. Sure, I've earned Top Gun a few times, but I attribute that more to luck than any inherent skill.
So I guess I'm saying I'm not the kind of player who draws a great deal of attention to themselves with ridiculous kill rates, which is probably why no one reports me, or complains, or accuses me of anything.
This leads me to another topic. I view WP as just another (albeit - expensive) mod. It doesn't improve your chances of hitting the enemy (but the auto-aim for moving targets is the bomb!), it doesn't allow you to shoot through walls (but you can see the silhouette and can tell if the enemy is aiming at you), and it doesn't increase the power of your gun. It doesn't help you with tactical decisions (but it will warn you if the enemy has clued in on your mistake, letting you know where their gun is pointing and if it is pointing at you!), and it doesn't allow you to see farther (but it will give you a good idea where an invisible enemy is shooting from).
Some of you may have read in another thread that I allowed Sherman remote access to my computer. Guess what? My credit cards are not drained of money. My WOT account is not hacked. Nothing like any of that has happened.
I guess what I'm saying is, if you're having any doubts, put your fears to rest. Sherman (not a very Russian sounding name, huh?) delivers on his product, and backs it up with full support. I don't know anything about him personally (I picture him as a young Russian kid putting himself through college, but who knows?), aside from the fact he has been honest, has integrity, and delivers exactly what he claims.
So go ahead and buy his mod.
Or don't. And I'll be seeing you on the battlefield....... ;)
Excellent post, thank you for your positive feedback!
Oh, and just in the interests of full disclosure, no, the Russian Boys have not offered me anything in the way of compensation for my endorsement.
And frankly, even if they did, I wouldn't accept it. $12 doesn't mean crap to me - let's face it, I spend 3x that much every month on dog food.
I just don't want you guys believing that bullshit on the WOT forums about getting banned, or how these guys are going to scam you.
They are legit, and they've put together an outstanding product.
Remember the old saying, "God made man, but Samuel Colt made them equal." - Think of the Russian Boys as the Soviet version of Samuel Colt!
Unfortunately, the Russian government does not support such equality, and the production of Samuel Colt, we can hold in your hand only in the form of toys.
I know what you mean, Sherman.
In the state I live in, everyone is allowed to carry a weapon legally. The law used to be that you could "open carry", which means as long as the weapon was visible, you could wear it (like in a holster on your belt). Now the law allows all citizens to carry a concealed weapon, which means you may wear the weapon under your shirt or jacket, hidden from view.
My barber is from Russia. He explained to me that I have no idea what it feels like to him to be able to legally carry a weapon. He said it made him feel empowered and able to protect himself from not only bad people, but from the government as well. This is why we have another saying: "An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject."
But I wanted to explain my original post was not a comment on people being able to carry guns - but rather on the fact that your War Pack mod helps level the playing field in the game.
For my part, it was sarcasm. :)
Warpack 8.8 #952 will not load with WOT 8.7 #495 just sits at:
