It's just my opinion, and opinions are like those places where the sun don't shine (as everyone has one).
Up until a few days ago, I genuinely respected your accomplishments and your reputation. You are a great player - nobody can argue against that - but I don't have the same respect for what you have achieved anymore, since we know you have used the hit skins(they were installed for a grand total of TWO weeks). When you began attempting to justify continued use of the skins, you lost even more credibility with more people than just myself (I know why i installed them. in my first video with them i admitted they were a little shady, and i could see how people can abuse them. i also stated multiple times how it does not affect how i play). You claim to be using the cheat skins in effort to educate the noobs(i am), which you also referred to as 'stupid' (many people are. not all noobs are stupid, and i never said that. i said i believe many people playing this game are stupid). Are you really trying to help them, or are you primarily using them as justification to gain permission to help yourself here? Who stands to benefit the most? (Yes, I am really trying to help them. justification? i don't have to justify my actions to any forum goer or anybody. only ME MYSELF AND I know why i downloaded the hitskins, and for you naysayers to sit there and tell me that i didn't in fact do it for the reason i gave is ludicrous, because you have no reason to not believe me. who stands to benefit the most? the people watching my videos so they can learn more. knowing the location of modules comes naturally with years of WoT playing under my belt.) I don't think it is the video viewers, but again - this is just my opinion. Saying you run the skins but don't aim based on them seems suspicious and I am not the only one who is skeptical to believe you aren't using them for more than just the videos. (watch my videos. i snap shot the majority of the time anyways and don't give myself time to aim. the only time it could be argued that it even LOOKS like i used the hitskin was when i adjusted my aim to hit center mass on a JPanther. which is COMMON SENSE if you're firing HEAT from a T-54...)
You had my respect. Your actions and subsequent attitude changed that. (well isn't that dandy) I do not expect you to care, and I think it is quite obvious you will not be making any changes unless WG enforces their rules. (in the grand scheme of things, you're just a person voicing an opinion that is practically calling for my head. do i CARE i lost youre respect? a little. i care more about the fact that you and others are so tunnel visioned on the fact that i had a mod installed for 2 weeks that i couldn't possibly be as good of a player that i am because of something i used to help others. will i change unless WG no longer GIVES ME A GO-AHEAD? no. i will continue to help the people watching my videos in any way that i can until i find one that is better, or until i no longer have WG's blessing to do so)

MSixteen: In two months you have made 15 Blitz videos. You have just under 100 subscribers. The current total for views for all of your videos amounts to just over 3000. (i don't understand why you posted the stats of my YT channel, but i have just OVER 2,900 views. if you round that up, then yeah... 3000)
Also, your newest videos are not with the hit skins, so maybe you have stopped using them? It's a little confusing, since you say you use them for educational purposes, yet your newest videos do not feature them. Is there a reason for not using them in your newest videos? (i haven't taken the time to redownload them because 1.) don't know if they'll work in the new patch 2.) i'm trying to get short and sweet videos out, because i am in college and i have better things to do with my time like study 3.) the fact that i have people 'calling for my head' DOES get to me. i don't like it, but it doesn't mean that my intentions are wrong.)
So the question to the community is this: do the above numbers justify the usage of hit skins? At what level is it considered OK to use them? Bushka stopped using them and he has over 2500 subscribers. (you guys, or rather the few that are adamantly against me, are more focused on the fact that i'm a super-unicum that has a mod installed that would give an advantage to an average, or slightly above average player so i must automatically not actually be good at WoTB because i had something installed for 2 weeks when i've been playing since the game got released on iOS. at what level is it considered OK to use them? the level where i use them to help others, which i am. Bushka stopped using them and has 25x the amount of subscribers that I have. If he feels that using them would give too many people the wrong idea about WHY he was using them, then that's on him. i currently have 98 subscribers until I feel that i am giving too many people the wrong idea is when i will stop using them, or until Alo no longer gives me the green light.

He stated when he posted the newest videos here on the forums that he stopped using the hit skins because of the giant "OMG!!!!!111!" it was causing. The video I remember him posting was squarely in the middle (EDIT)of the timeline of this thread.
I would also like to point out that I ran into him in battle last night and while he did kill my tank, my driver survived right up until the end. Obviously that means he is no longer using hit skins.
the driver of the T-34-85 isn't hard to see. there's a driver's hatch in the front of the hull. i was more concerned about hitting you center mass like i ALWAYS aim if i know i can pen because i stood a great chance of killing you. but you are correct, i have not reinstalled the mods yet because i simply have not taken the time to do so.

Adding my voice and opinion as someone who has spent money on the game and plays many games daily.
-Hit skins do impart and unfair advantage to all players who use them.
-The advantage is not large for skilled players however...it is still an advantage.
-Skilled players should take the lead and set the example here. As was said before in this thread just because you can do something does not mean that you should.
-MSixteen has a valid argument about wanting to show modules to his viewer base however I would suggest he instead performs a screen cap from armour inspector and insert the still into his video as it is easy to do via imovie's mobile version. I'm happy to help anyone anytime if they have video editing questions.
-WG NEEDS to voice on this issue ASAP
my .02 added
1/2.) True
3.) It gives my viewers an extra thing to learn from, so i will continue to use them (once i actually reinstall them) to help my viewers
4.) thank you/ i admit i'm not the best video editor out there, and help would be very much appreciated, but my phone does not have a lot of space on it at all because i only have a 16G phone. a lot of the times to make my videos i actually have to delete WoT to create the space, and redownload it afterwards. every MB counts.
5.) i'm actually surprised that the mods haven't said anything on this thread or locked it down completely because of the blatant attacks on myself. i guess it's because i 1.) copy/pasted a conversation i had with Alo in which he gave me the go-ahead and 2.) i haven't reported any of the rude comments made by people like Viper.
