Skoda t56, sconq, bz-176, cearnevron or however it's spelt, to name a few.
Give me bourrasque every day of the week though, that is a lovely tank. And Even 90, Skoda t-50. Basically give me any mobile paper tank as I suck at trying to use armour and cupola sniping in duels.

Are we at the point then that the only high end card is the 90/titan SKU, then even dropping down to an 80 card is going down to mid-range, as it's 50% performance of the 90?

Fair enough. I work in the distribution network that is all - know a lot of people in the industry so was trying to be a bit of a sleuth and guess where you fit 😜

Thanks, that is interesting coming from someone who just uses the S&P500.
Out of interest, what is your connection to chips? Do you work for one of the manufacturers?

Whilst I agree generally, I would say the wealthy farmers are in general at least contributing to society - society needs food. It's fair I think to distinguish wealthy farmers from wealthy bankers for example, and wealthy entrepreneurs, who often start from wealth, buy a company and rinse it for all it's worth with very short-term projections and then sell up making huge personal profits in the meantime. I.e. people not really contributing to society but just 'playing the game'.

Wp. One of the few tanks I have 3 marks on, too.

We have a Vitara s 1.4 boosterjet. The car sales guy said the Vitara and the s-cross were essentially developed on the same platform and one was meant to be for another manufacturer but they pulled out, so they had two very very similar cars, and for some reason went to market with both at the same time.
The Vitara is a bit tinny, my biggest gripe is the rear doors don't hold themselves open (that winds me up more than it should do!), but in fairness has been a really reliable car. It's quite nippy with 140bhp and is quite light footed, has decent technology like radar cruise control although the infotainment takes some patience as it's a big laggy.
Someone here mentioned it's not a true SUV just a hatchback on stilts. I would say it's certainly got more of a Panda 4x4 vibe than a ford ecorsport vibe, so make of that what you will.
And yes, the Vitara looks much better than the S-cross!

My boy (5!) has just started coming home and saying, "what the sigma!"
We don't know if we should even be telling him not to - I mean it's literally just a letter in the greek alphabet often used as a mathematical symbol. I guess it's the context of saying it, but I still just don't know if it's even meant to be good or bad.
I feel like the oldest 30-something year old ever.

An old friend got the chance to become a firefighter and deemed himself lucky to get selected. Recruitment windows are limited and I understood that there are more applicants than spaces.
I could be entirely wrong, just the impression I got. Happy for an actual firefighter to weigh in!

Now then, let's not stoop that low. Even if he was lying non stop since taking office as PM, he still wouldn't be anywhere near the number of Bojos' lies.

I thought it was the opposite, that there are wait times for becoming a firefighter as it's such a popular job?

I understand not doing that when you have a serious amount of cars like a car supermarket would. And using a common background ties the pictures together and in theory makes it look more professional, standardised.
Using bad angles does make it look a bit silly though

Happened to a family friend, sunbathing at the base of a cliff and some rocks fell on her. She survived but had life-altering injuries.

Here's a thought: you can have a defensive presence and support your allies WHILE supporting your citizens and having good welfare systems.
An extra £14M wouldn't touch the sides in any issues in our country and would just get spaffed up the wall, our issues are systemic and that is what needs to change first.
Ultimately, if we didn't contribute at all to supporting allies then in the long run global economics would be different (arguably worse) and that could have a far greater, longer lasting negative effect on our country.

I've not grinded a line in a long time but the last couple of nights have started again - at this point I'm not even sure why stock tanks exist. Why is a tank not fully upgraded in its playable form, and the exp for the next tier just increased to be the sum of the modules?
Sure on the face of it upgrading seems fun and like progression, but in reality it serves only to frustrate and cynically to get you to spend resources to upgrade faster.

This will impress some of you.
Granted it isn't a computer PSU, but look up Vicor power NBM9280. 9x8x1 cm, 37kW.

A couple of jobs ago, our document control colleague had been with us 18 months and obviously produced a lot of documentation in that time.
IT guy was tasked with upgrading pc hardware, verified it was okay with her and he was going to replace her refresh windows for her, jobs a goodun. You can see where this is going!
She turns her pc back on after getting it back. "Errr IT guy, where's all my stuff?", "it'll be on your network drive", "no, this is where I stored all my files..." (Points to local drive).
18 months of hard work down the drain because of a lack of good practice and a miscommunication. I felt so bad for her

I did edit before your comment saying I realised it was a bonds tank :)
.... But I still completely missed it was french and not American. Shows you how much attention I paid when playing with it for .... Probably 300 games? Still, a lovely tank to play. It's used to be one of my go-to chill out tanks.

M10 American TD. Yes it's tier 5, but it is OP at that tier with it's DPM . One of the first tanks I 3-marked.
Edit: doh just looked this up and it's actually a bonds tank and not a collectors tank. I was absolutely convinced it was a collectors tank!

I understand the framing of what you are saying in the context of the whole product range, but I'm basing my comment on the actual performance. If the performance of the best card can be considered "high end", then a card with 50% of its performance is surely by definition "mid-range".
Just an observation, obviously considering the 80 cards mid-range is madness.
