What does the term "abbreviation" mean, you will learn from the article of our site

As soon as the world discovers something new that is popular among the majority of the population, after a while a special slang (jargon) appears, which is used by both users and specialists in this field. A similar fate has not passed in the field of computer games, where the concentration of such expressions simply exceeds all reasonable levels. After all, the use of abbreviated or simplified words here reaches the very of great importance in the world, and sometimes understanding them is very important. Since if you are a technical support specialist, promotion, or even a developer, then you need to know this dry and concise language, which is able to convey the essence of what was said to the population or colleagues in several expressions. And the briefly thrown phrase "cd 250" would express everything they need to know.

Spreading

Although such phenomena are observed in any professional field of human activity, only gaming slang has gained such diversity. Uninitiated people can only be surprised and perplexed, listening to strange expressions, thinking what "cd", "rush in the center" is, and trying to understand their sacred meaning. After all, there are a lot of computer and console games, and they all have their own model, which brings its own terms to life. Therefore, not every user can understand what the lover of World of Tanks, Tundra or another arcade wanted to say. Of course, there are well-known expressions that intersect, but due to the complexity of building the speech structures of an experienced gamer, a beginner or uninitiated does not have a chance to understand them. Moreover, gaming slang does not age, it constantly expands its base and absorbs new word forms. All these expressions are regularly used, which is why a chaotic flow of information is obtained, which causes a lot of questions from an outsider: "What is "kd"?", "What do the abbreviations "kk" and "kts" mean? and so on. While for others this language is simple, familiar and sounds better than any music.

Principles

It is important to emphasize that the formation of the jargon of the players takes place according to unwritten rules, which contribute to the acceleration of communication. Therefore, all expressions in it are short and concise, as if chopped off with an ax. In order to understand them, you need to feel the essence of the presentation and regularly replenish your vocabulary. This is the only way to gain extensive knowledge of gamer slang. Although their demand for non-specialists and inactive players remains in great doubt.

Examples

Let's put into practice some popular phrases that can be heard in the gamer community. The question that comes up most often is "What is cd?" The answer is very banal, because this phrase has migrated from Dota to almost all games where spells are used, any skills or abilities are recharged. It indicates the waiting time before reuse perk or performing the action again. It was not possible to avoid the penetration of this slang expression into the "World of Tanks". Therefore, the answer to the somewhat naive question of what “cd” is in WOT will now not confuse anyone. You can easily check it by visiting the official site of the World of Tanks project, where the reload time of absolutely all guns that are found in the game is indicated.

Use in WOT

However, you should not assume that this is an exceptional parameter, which is of the greatest importance. His influence is important, but not unlimited. An important role is played by the speed of movement of the combat vehicle, its accuracy and armor penetration. All these conditions form their own system in which they are interconnected. As a result, disadvantages are compensated by advantages, which forms the necessary balanced weight of each unit.

American and French technology

At the same time, the specification of the gun loading time for tanks with a drum feed system is completely different. And to figure out what CD is in World of Tanks, it is not as easy for this class of equipment as it seems at first glance. After all, these combat vehicles have specific feature, it was built into their design historically and is reflected in the game. They can fire at the enemy continuously, but only until the full cassette is fired. In battle conditions, it looks like this: French or american tank fires from four to six projectiles at the enemy, after which it is removed for a long reload (in terms of game time, it takes from 30 seconds to a minute). The enemy suffered significant damage, but the attacker fighting machine departs to replenish ammunition. Such a technique requires the user to closely control the situation, since if detected, this tank will be defenseless and will not be able to repulse the attackers.

Add-ons

Some aspects of the team game are built on the use of this shortcoming. There is an addon that shows the opponent's cd. Although it does not apply to prohibited modifications of the client program, Wargaming does not recommend its use due to possible connection failures between the server and the user. The consequences of such interference can be different - from reinstalling the client to losing control over your own account. After all, the code of the mod program may contain malicious viruses, so all actions are carried out by game users at their own peril and risk. As a result, for wanting to know what a cd is and how long it lasts, you can pay too high a price, which will lead to the loss of personal data or even more serious consequences.
