I shouldn't have started playing again so early in the year. I'll be fed up with this game once christmas comes around.

How bad is the grind for a new account on EU?
>>2031355Grind has been significantly reduced for individual lines, but increased overall for the national treeYou will encounter 2 massive bottlenecks, T6 where you will be used as fodder for T8 and T8 where you will be used as fodder for premium T8 tanks and T10If you make it to T10 after that you are better than 70% of the player base Even without premium, it is impossible to lose money up to T8 unless you are 100% loaded with gold, however the game is generous with credit and xp boosters especially during large holidays Easy lines include US T110E5 line, Object 140 line, Tortoise and T95 line (easy to play, but very team dependant), Canopener (you can even ignore the gimmick) I would recommend you to avoid dedicated LT lines until you know the maps and how the positioning works
>>2028315i have a friend who played that game for a while he could go on a long rant how pay2win ruined this game
>>2029011onslaught is sucking up the tryharding population atm
Is WTR calculated from recent performance or whole history? I play way better than before, I wonder how much my account holds my stats?
>>2036974The moment you stop caring about statistics is the moment your wr% starts getting better
>>2041691I don't care about WR. The teams are often so unbalanced that you cannot win and after 1 minute it's already 2-7. I play to win, not to pad the stats. But at the same time, stats give estimation of your impact in the game.I would love the game to have balanced MM, where your WR and current skill rating would allow you to estimate if you are improving or not, but that's not the case in WOT 2.0.Also depends on the tank I'm playing, some are not fast/versatile enough to solo carry game, while some other are.
How shit is the Walking Dead tank? I already have a Toro so not sure I'll bother.
>>2046417It seems interesting, it was broken on Lesta but the version we got is sort of a weird Minotauro/Italian TD sort of affair.You have a LONG intraclip reload of 5s, but the DPM itself is pretty competitive among the T9 heavies and it has a short clip reload on a 5 round magazine, so you get the sort of stun proof/consistent reload advantage the Italian TDs have. It's less a conventional autoloader and more of a tank with that needs short windows of downtime to reload the autoloader which isn't much of an ask with how static the meta tends to be. Of course the downside is it doesn't have too much in the way of turret armor and lacks gun depression, so it's more of a heavium although that seems to be half the "heavies" in the game anyways. Just not ideal on a tank that has an intraclip that isn't fast enough to magdump and isn't slow enough to be doing peekaboo tactics - by the time you retreat behind the corner you're already almost reloaded, but if you stay out in the open your reload isn't doing you favors and you don't have armor.
lollolmao coming 2.1
>>2046417Garbage when there's a superior tech tree tank in T54E1Are you going to pay real money for a rear mounted tank that takes 20 seconds to unload a 2000 damage clip... Or play the busted shit that unloads 1600 damage in 6 seconds?
>>2047598I hope they implement the same battle summary as in onslaught in random battles. Onslaught one is a really good improvement.
Why are pub players so fucking retardedWhy the FUCK do they insist on pushing into the open and die immedietely.
>cause 15 crits>reroll >win 4 battles >12 battles later, bonus mission >win 5 battles fuck off, fuck this game
>>2054613when i used to actually do those missions for black rock i dreaded seeing the win missions and the destroy 4 vehicles in a battlethey take forever to do for a daily/bonus mission to do relative to other conditions
>>2055784today is the kill 4 tanks fuck me on the unrelated note, the haxor is very good even when stock, holy shit
>>2056179xm69 hacker is crackedlook at the stats comparsion of the stock hacker to what i consider the best feeling guns at tier 10.hacker pretty much gets a built-in free bond vertical stabilizers on the base stats. after then you stack crew, rations, progression tree and equipment on it and it becomes sex
The E65 is surprisingly good, the gun handling is what keeps it very competitivealso permatracking borats
>>2057807It really is good. It's very easy to keep your DPM up, you can skip one reload and just shoot twice next time. With 1.5s lock time, it's very fun tank to play. Only thing is paper turret against tier X. You will be bullied hard. But against the rest upper plate can bounce surprisingly well. It's not broken, but like you said, the gun handling makes it fun to play.
H3 on the other hand is weird. This 5s intra-clip reload is awkward. It's short enough so you don't have time to pull back, basically forcing you to go in, but at the same time it's long enough that you will be punished before unloading your load on the enemy. At the same time, zero armor and huge tank, doesn't help.I played only few matches, but I struggled a lot to find a playstyle. I think it's a good tank to set an ambush from a far and do some backshoots and unsuspecting enemies. But then there are so many better autoloaders to just dump your load faster.It's shit to go in, shit to stay behind cover, because you won't be using the clip at all. If you have tips for this tank, let me know.
god fucking dam it, why do I have to carry 3 friendly tanks against 1 (won) enemy one even managed to die, fucking hell
WG used to be stingy with progetto 46 sales, now they're for it pushing it hard hoping to bank off old nostalgia now that protoipo 6 and the buffed panthera p.44 rised up as competitors in the auto reloader niche...
>>2072221I mean it used to be a pretty strong vehicle, borderline unfair, but like you've said who really gives a fuck with the Prototipo 6 and the good Pantera? The Progetto is still GOOD, but it's really nothing game breaking anymore so why not sell it frequently.
Why World of X over War Thunder?
>>2072807for me world of tanks was more potato friendly when i had a shit pc, stuck with it sincethe 15 vs 15 arcade style held up pretty well over time, since most genres don't go for a competition size having teams this big which i prefer over the generic 5v5 template
>>2072807war thunder has worse grind
>>2072807For Warships, despite how bad Subs/CV/powercreep has gotten WT Naval is still abhorrentFor tanks, it's sort of just down to individual preferences. Some people want the arcadey HP bar gameplay where there's room to make mistakes and there's positioning and teamplay and the like. War Thunder is just click on the other guy before he clicks on you because most hits are one shot kills, there's an appeal to War Thunder Ground and for some people it's going to be better than tanks, but some people want a more "casual" experience.For Planes, it's the reverse of Naval where I can't imagine why anyone would play WoWP
>>2072221There is no reason to buy this tank when the Pantera does the same thing now
>>2072807>Why World of X over War Thunder?Speaking about tanks, Warthunder has:>beyond shit levels of worse grind>god awful pixel hunts before modern tanks, my KDR skyrocketed when I got a 4K monitor>a respawn system that is flawed as fuck>revenge planes in ground battles, makes artillery look reasonable in comparison>developers that are beyond jewish, don't think i've seen a single free day of premium in over 10 years>tank models are objectively better made but visually the game just looks worse overall
>>2028315https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/general-news/update-2-1-1-tanks-overview/Mid-january 2026 we'll get three tier 11s, one of them being a new branch as USA autocannon mediums.>PTZ-78 (China TD)>STK-2 (Japan Heavy)>Ares 90 C (USA Medium)The following tanks are set to be re-balanced:>Leopard 120 Verbessert>AS-XX 40 t>Object 432U>CS-67 Szakal>Hirschkäfer>Strv 107-12
>>2082569Surprised how quickly they added more T11sWeirdly interested in the US autocannon medium branch too, the Czech LT branch is kinda fun but ultimately the Tesak is kinda dogshit as an LT. I do REALLY well in my Squall though since I have good map sense and know when to be aggressive, so I'm sorta looking forward to a similar playstyle on a medium tank where I don't have the pressure of creating a spotting advantage and trading out the enemy Even 90 but can just work flanks.
>>2072807I play games to have fun and War Thunder is not as fun for me. I played since the alpha and still like the planes at lower tiers but they should have avoided missiles like they said. Missiles are not fun, at least to me. Also World of Warplanes was ass when I first played and haven't touched it since.>tanksRespawns? CAS? I have to pay to respawn the same tank? I have to grind out several tanks and also at least one plane/heli of the same tier to even have fun. Or I can pay up to 80 dollars for one plane for one nation. World of Tanks used to have a bad grind unless you bought one tier 8 premium but it got WAY better over the years so now I can play the tanks I want, and I won't get a bomb dropped on me immediately.>shipslmao. WoWS wins this one easily and I enjoy it over tanks just for the slower pace and less tryharders. People just play it to have fun. Absolutely no one does boats on War Thunder and splitting the naval into two categories was retarded.It doesn't help that gaijin happens to be even scummier than wargaming and the grind basically requires spending a significant amount of money. I had my pretty nice ten year old account hacked and they would not give me the time of day since I had not purchased anything. They actually told me since I had not linked my credit card to the account they would not help me. Not could not, but would not get it back.WT wins for aviation by far, tanks are a matter of preference and WT ships are largely ignored.It all depends on your flavor of autism.
>>2082597For me, I'll go up the USA autocannons if they share the same unique penetration rules that the czech LTs have that makes them penetrate shit that they really shouldn't be doing with dinky 50mm caliber shells
>>2083295They look like pretty solid, large caliber autocannons on a medium line so I imagine they should have good pen. Tesak has 192 on 57mm cannons, I would expect the US medium autocannon to sit somewhere around 230-240 on standard rounds and 280-290 on premium.They'll both be APCR though to absolutely fuck you on normalization, might be cool if they get whacky HE like the Czech line though with something like 100mm of pen.I also don't think they're going to be the same blistering rate of fire since they have an "overheat" mechanic which suggests to me they won't have a conventional magazine/reload but instead they'll fire at something like 60RPM with an alpha around 100-150 per shell and after something like 15-20 shells they overheat and lock you out, but you'll be able to fire in 5-10 round bursts and never have to reload. We'll see how close I am vs what WG has decided to do once supertest details start leaking or WG just gives us a proper sneak peak.
Who is it? I'm thinking Benedict Cumberbatch.
>>2083641Arnold, again
>>2083641looks like you were right
>>2085413That was a good holiday ops welcome video, I enjoyed that one.
>>2083355Yeah.If you've played overwhelming fire they're probably gonna work the same as the m-v-y thunderclap.
>This year well-deserved rewardsWG is insanely generous this year, another free tier 10 branch for people who already claimed the one from September, and we get a decent tier 7 tank.https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/general-news/epic-thank-you/

>>2089696The amount of real players must be incredible low that they drop such a gift, game is shit since 2.0
>>2089696Man, after all of this I'm all out of crews Hope the Christmas progression comes with at least 4 members
>>2089696I will start making more new accounts with EBR to keep yoloing arty, and being able to fund expensive ass tanks without having to commit to 5 hour grinding for 10 mil credits like Jagdpanzer E100, FV4005 and 30B that i can unlock for free from taking EBR 105Thanks WG
that wasn't so bad
>>2092114Gz, time to farm pub.
>>2092114black rock is the most fun tier 11 by far, the burst mechanic carries the crap armor profile
>>2094208I've had a lot of fun getting 2k damage rams in my kr1, but the burst on the blackrock is definitely my favorite of the tier 11 heavy tank gimmicks otherwise
>>2094211i'm a shitty 2k dpg player and the burst mechanic on black rock bumps me up to 4k-6k damage territory pretty easilythe only thing frustrating about black rock is the accuracy but changing out bond gun rammer for bond vents fixed it enough
https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/general-news/holiday-ops-2026-large-boxes/Christmas Lootbox tanks revealed.The tier 10s seem pretty strong, with BZT-70 having a stronger hull than expected and the Coccodrillo being impenetrable from a distance with simply using -2 degrees out of the max -8 degrees gun depression.My account is already flooded with tier 10 reward tanks already, so I don't really need to swipe for this year's boxes. I also got burnt last year chasing all the XMAS tanks and playing none of them except for the squall.Going to aim for the Cromwell Applique at tier 5 and stop there.
>>2094950None of the tanks are interesting. Hulldown wise the dravec is just better.
>>2096231BZT-70 feels underrated by the community. 330 HEAT pen is enough in heavy brawling areas and being able to angle your lower plate to bounce 340 HEAT pen around corners is damn strong.
>>2096288Except that nobody will shoot that when armor flashlight is a thing lamo
>>2096531They'll still take like 4-5 seconds to scan your tank to find the green spots.Keep in mind this is the same community that bitched about object 279e not having a lower plate weakspot despite having commander hatches to snipe and being buttered to 340 HEAT pen and TD shells.Even now after the armor flashlight update, the 279e is still considered one of the strongest tier 10s by the general playerbase out there despite the tank aging poorly in the slow powercreep of tier 10s
Well, I got the Canopener line What about you guys?
>>2096831Type 5,grinded Canopener when it was released.
>>2096831The chinese tier 11 TD with the 180 spin sounds retarded, so i'm in >>2082569
This game is on life support, giving away another full line and loads of other shit to get people to play is a Hail Mary, probably because they're such stingy cunts when it comes to credits in higher tiers. WoWS is doing a lot better and was like 4th on Steams global sales list yesterday. Wargayming are lucky that War Thunders naval mode is complete shit.
>>2097184Honestly X is unplayable. You will burn credits, and be forced to buy them or grind premium tanks. And if you want to be economic and play without premium consumables and ammo you will be a meat for tryhards to farm you. The only way to have fun in this game is to swipe and everything is balanced around that.
One of the things WG needs to add to this game is the fucking bounty equipment counter, it should count the upgraded ones as well
>>2097314You can play on standard account at tier 10 without using food if you play a hard hitting heavy or tank destroyer and penetrate your shots.Anything fast firing or autoloader is too expensive for standard account though
no one is playing arty at tier 10 currentlyit's fucking great
>>2098088They do need to update the economy with booster packs like WoWS hasIn WoWS it used to be that if you bought a permanent camo for gold, you got significant economic bonuses for a ship. This means more credits earned, less repair costs, etc. You can still get the booster packages, they just aren't tied to camo anymore since the game separated economics from visuals. Now at the end of the day a Tier 8 with a booster pack still isn't as good as a Tier 8 premium, but it's close enough for people who really enjoy playing a tech tree vehicle and if you have booster packages on your tier 10s you can play tier 10s without any sort of premium account.The WoT should do the same thing, if you buy the expensive 3D style for a T10 tank that costs like 4500 gold or w/e (or if you have it from putting in effort/winning it from whatever source) you get a credit boost on that tank that makes it possible to earn money or at least break even on a tier 10 without a premium account.
>>2096831Grille because you get the tank you choose elited and can select field mods without researching the tier 11.People I know are picking wz 1113g ft and they like it a lot.
Hmm, Minotauro or Udes 15/16?
>>2098721I have 100 mil credits and 4 digit numbers of credit boosters on my account I don't use food or load full gold on my T10s, until November, my only T8 premium was the FCM 50 which was collecting dust for years All your financial problems will be instantly solved if you stop listening to YouTube fags telling you to load full gold and play with food AND don't die with no contribution
>>2097314>>2097184Retard, that's why you play on xmas. 50% more bonus credit, permanent 10% from the dog for first 10 battles daily, 15% from platoon, 50% from premium time, 50% from premium. You are literally swimming in credit unless you play like dogshit.
>>2099137Mino is easier to play but udes has higher potential.
>>2099302>I don't use foodsandbagging 50%er
>drive the newest lootbox tank>ammorack a heavy tank at full hp>do it again afterwardsyour response?https://www.twitch.tv/orzanel/clip/BraveAbstruseSardineHoneyBadger-UcLd3mdPYJKScX-s
>>2102133>BZ-75 gets ammorackedwater is wet
>>2102133Streamer RNG.
>>2102188They told me bz-75 is best, they lied?
this is in leafbux but god damn
>>2102615
>>2102615my results in 28 boxesbaited by the train animation and didn't even get the tier 5 cromwell appliqueat least it's the tier 8 instead of the shitty tier 9s
>>2102621it also got me to festive level 4 and 8% credit income increaseseems like you need to spend a lot more to max out the bonuses this christmas year
it seems that this year your friends need to actually login for the christmas promo to get the extra resources
>>2102621i caved and bought 24 boxes since i was halfway through pityi'm going to sit on this and open it tomorrow. i hope it's the bzt-70
>>2102651Good luck anon
>>2102651>i hope it's the bzt-70It won't be. The probability of getting X in 28 loot boxes is like 3.6%.The loot boxes are so exploitive to our brains, we expect things to happen in general, but the truth is different.Good luck though, you will get other cool rewards like silver.
>>2102744I misread, for 24 boxes it would be 3.08%
Finally got around to playing my E-77 I got last year and wow, this thing is surprisingly good.Armor didn't do a lot for me (although it looks like it would be good if I put it in a hull down) but the mobility and the reliable heavy hitting 128 put in a lot of work. It plays like a medium with heavy alpha without having wonky dogshit dispersion which is nice.
Don't buy boxes, you cum guzzling faggot whales
>>2102403it's the best heavy tank at blowing up, sure
>>2102676>>2102744I GOT IT GOT FUCKED
>>2104284Doesn't look like BZT to me.
Wargaming seems to be chasing that enormous audience of black women interested in tanks for the 3rd year in a row
>>2105192Was there a niggress last year? I don't think so. There's a latina and asian but no nigger.
where is the next video, chems?
anyone got the coccodrillo or bzt 70?worth gambling another 50 boxes?
>>2110502Not worth it. You should open boxes for gold.
also i hope the object 268 v5 is worth the bondsimpulse yolo purchase
>>2110502Yeah I got them all.They're kinda whatever.Cocomelon is good at doing 1k in two shots but if you're not extremely patient with the aim and positioning you get chewed up.BZT has a shit gun that needs really careful management and planning, and it has to crawl to engagements and needs people to be retarded in front of you.Best tank in the set by far is the stridsxya and there's already a million good tier 8 medium premiums.If you already have a lot of tanks then these ones are very skippable.
>>2110584>BZT has a shit gunBetter or worse than the Pancernik (tier for tier)I swear every time I use that PoS the gun max low rolls every single shot, I have never done the average damage much less highrolled
>>2110588About the same.Needs a lot of equipment to fix, you also need to be creeping around by tapping r and only fighting people inside 100m.
>>2104284i was initially disappointed with projet louis but i shifted my thoughts from having a good scouting game to yolo dumping 1 clip ASAP at the start and the game started being fun again.i have 1k DPG in it but getting 70k credits every 2 minutes for yoloing is fine
>>2028315ummmm wtf, I didn't get the free 60 days prem for some reasonI got another free tech tree from the xmas event but not the 60 days free
>>2111239some of them are locked behind missions, do you have 30 days at least?i think if you logged into 2.0 beforehand, they're not going to give you another set of rewards under the 'For Seasoned and New Commanders'
>>2111890ya, I logon for the 2.0 launchbut what do I have to do for the 30 days free?
>>2112205Play 1 battle daily
>>2112205>I logon for the 2.0 launchi don't think you're getting the premium days anymorei checked my missions to see if i got it since i played at 2.0 launch and i didn't get it again
>>2110678louis is funny tanknever seen so many critical hits in a while
I took the Udes 15/16I hope this stupid cheesewagon is good
>>2112208I did, but still didn't get the 30 days
>>2112258Tanks that can shoot fast will crit module. Every shot is basically a roll module damage.
Do you think we'll get a Tier 11 Conqueror in 2026?
>>2112638Certainly, judging by how quick they pump out new tanks.
>>2112638Soup conq is inferior in every way to the Canopener, no reason to make it a T11 gimmick tank
>>2112267Why did you take a medium that gets set on fire frontally, take massive damage from arty and weak gold pen values
I opened the game for the first time since the 2.0 update just for the rewards, got the ping pong tier 10 TD and played a game but the UI is still so fucking shit the after game report made me close the game
>skill4ltu selling tanks for charity>people are willing to drop 1100 euro for a marathon light tank>2500 euro for BZ-176>still 10 days remainingwho the hell drops this much moneythe fucking BZ lot is more than i spent onto the game over 10 years
>>2116266>355 eurodollars for the roachwutthat shits on sale like every three weeks
>>2116292When was the E-25 last on sale? I've been legitimately wanting to pick one up but if it's been on sale I keep missing it.
>>2116304Check the past news. You can kind of gauge its return. E25 is pretty meh nowadays so WG just sell it occasionally
>>2110579the object 268 version 5 feels so nice400 gold pen on a turreted platform is stronk
>>2118089Actually it's dogshit and you should have bought the DBV-152 instead
>>2118219i have the DBV but it's annoying to it up for aggressive play and it sometimes get troll bounced due to 330 pen. sold it after getting my campaign missions done as i wasn't playing it for monthsobject 268 version V gameplay is peek out, slap a bitch with the 400 pen gold for 750 and wait. extremely nice support tank
>>2118273>annoying for aggressive playI never found that to be true, with the speed and the rear-mounted turret it does surprisingly well in forward positions and even urban maps, at least for a thinly armored glass cannon TD.
this origami mode sucks dick
Where is my free Blyad Prince 2? Do I have to redeem it somewhere?
>>2118997holiday ops override the well-deserved award.i think you launch the game in safe mode to hide the holiday garage so it opops up. at least that worked years ago when i had the same problem
very funny WG, I will not participate in these cancerous mechanics, nor buy any lootboxes
I'm sorry guys I pay piggied. Got the TBT and BZT-70 in lootcrates though.>>2118567I agree, I'd simply rather not play.
>>2122440explode
Love me tree. None of that Chinese crap on mine.
>>2120100Arty aside it's a hilarious and pretty decently done style.
>>2122440how many boxes did you swipe for?do you like the bzt?i stopped after getting projet louis and stridsxya in 50 boxes. stridsxya is boring but louis is fun as fuck to cheese people with
>>2122700Louis looks fun in the hands of a bluenicum, I've been too busy using the holiday ops bonuses to grind out my last few tier 11s to try mine out yet.
>>2118567I don't like it either but I had a few fun games as the heavy.If you use rage to invincibly collect and deliver to your base, when you die you add +1 present from your own death.Won a game that way.The missile targeting on the defender needs work before it inevitably gets added as a t11 ability for the sheridan 2 or whatever.
>>2122700I got 90 boxes, I wanted the gold really to be able to buy the Foch in the store, as that means I won't be tempted to spend bonds on it anymore. TBT is pretty well balanced, you can do well with it as long as you stay in the group and right now you can earn a ton of credits even with just gold ammo, low DPM will put a lot of people off but the turret armour is solid. Haven't tried BZT yet but it seems strong. Louis seems like fun but I don't really play light tanks.
>>2123281>buying the inferior Fochouch
When's the next worthwhile bond store tank I have like 30k bonds and nothing actually worth spending them on, I guess I could buy a Tiger Maus but I'm one of those weirdos who thinks it's a waste to buy something that isn't a T10 (but I also don't want to buy a reskinned 113 or an Fv215b)
>>2123423Just get six rammers.Surely you would not regret buying six bond rammers.
>>2028315I don't have time this xmas to grind out the paper tanks event, will I miss a lot if I skip it?
>>2123423Tiger Maus would be a good credit and bond grinder, but it depends if you already have enough of them.
>>2123440Just credits bonds and 3d attachments.The missions each day accumulate rather than being limited to one day though so you can probably complete the event quickly if you wait.
just got the udes 15/16 and holy fuck, I wasn't expecting its view range to be that lowwhat equipment?
>>2123931Experimental Hardening, rammer, turbo or vent.
>game is still full of AFK camping retards who CANNOT fucking push a flank even if you push at the perfect time with the perfect tank and distract the entire enemy team long enough to nearly solo the flankI'm so fucking tired
>>2123423I'll shill for the 268 v5 but you need to have a 5 skill crew, pink equipment and food, or the accuracy trolls you too much / turret rotation feels too slow for aggressive play >>2118273being able to lolpen any flat armor surface with 400 pen feels great though
Another battle pass incoming
>>2133163https://worldoftanks.asia/en/news/general-news/holiday-ops-2026-battle-pass/Looks to be just commanders? I'll probably pass on it, the improved pass 3D attachments might be cool but idk that it's worth the sort of gold they want without even having a tank.
Winter Raid is such a dogshit gamemodeactual nigger tier gameplay
>>2133337The problem is WG turned these modes into a boring grind.
I had the absolute worst rng todayfuck wgfuck this game
>>2133442not really the problem is its a vantablack gorilla gamemode with dogshit unfun tank designs and it becomes a question of will you end up on the team of lobotomized troglodytes who gets doubleteamed since the barely sentient jeets who play it just pick one flank and drive down it the entire match and if you get unlucky that means you have to fight both teams until one of them wins
>>2133337Sucks ass but I just play whatever the gay mission I have is then gtfo.Too many afks to make playing for wins worthwhile.

So... just a worse Char Murat?
>>2135195If the soft-stats are good it might be decent. The tank is good looking at least.
>>2135140>Free garage slotWow thanks Benedict
>>2135195>>2135361the free tank fantome is okay. with the 3.5 second intra-clip reload, it's closer to a char futur 4 competitor.it's decent at a bare minimum due to autoloader. already seems better than gsor the tank and patton the tank
>>2135435The 0.38 and 0.22/0.22 is not really inspiring confidence in me, on top of a 2.88s aim time.The garbage gunhandling is probably really going to gimp what could otherwise maybe be a decent tank.13 degrees of gun depression is promising though even if it comes at the cost of a gimmicky suspension. Unfortunately it lacks any form of real turret armor to really exploit that and is a pretty large target for return fire compared to a Char Futur.Still, maybe I should reserve some judgement until I actually play it.
>>2135584i'd just slap full gun handling on the fantome.bad aim time can be worked around by decreasing after-firing bloom as much as you can, and the important dispersion stat (turret traverse handling) is much lower than the char futur 4's.accuracy is a fake stat so we'll have to see how it truly acts in-game.for reference, type 5 heavy also have 0.38 base dispersion but that gun is one of the most accurate motherfucker in the tier 10 heavies category...
>>2135618>accuracy is a fake statTrue, everyone shits on stuff like the Obj 274a and the T-54D for having "dogshit unworkable guns" and meanwhile I thoroughly enjoy both tanks and their guns rarely let me down.
>>2135195I don't think it has any roleIt's a big tank with shit accuracy, long autoloader reload, zero armor and bad view range It is just T10 tank food to trick the pubbies, maybe if it had .36 base accuracy, it wouldn't be so bad
Why do you all still play this game?
>>2136216As always, feel free to suggest any other large-scale arena game out there
>>2136216Sunk cost fallacy, I have invested too much time
why does this dead game have maint EVERY FUCKING DAY
>>2028315https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/updates/2-1-1-CT/Update 2.1.1 common test>USA Autocannon Medium Tank Branch>Two More New Tier XI Vehicles for China and Japan>Tier 11 Medium and TD rebalance>New onslaught shop tank (LTC II) and bond equipment (camo net and binoculars...)
>>2137103Fuck off WG, we didn't need even more shitters camping
>>2137103camo net remains a meme because it only boosts stationary camo, not camo on movement or after firing so don't waste bonds on that.bond binoculars have some interesting applications. it's useful for hulldown heavies to peek over hills and spot people not using the bush mechanics properly, and for tier 5 to 7 light tanks that don't have access to CVS, being able to smuggle in a vision-slot boosted binos. TD like STRV already had vision slot option in field mods so it wouldn't do as much for them. the best class would've been EBR wheelies, but they blocked off using binoculars on wheeled lights in-game, thankfully.
>Plays multiple random games>Fantome somehow outlives alot of tanks in most of these gamesD-did WG gave everyone a good tank?
>>2137647Stop living in the future we're not supposed to have it until tomorrow
>>2138029Anon I got it 4 hours ago.
>>2137103Bond binos and bond camo net activate in half the time that the regular versions take, that seems pretty good for niche builds. Could bring a 600 meter view range passive scouting set that still has slotted cvs for maps like prok and mali
>>2138202Just means I'm gonna know way faster when the redline camping maus on my team has them.
>>2034141He's not wrong, but the game wasn't ruined, it was that way from the start.
truep2w started with the Lowe and it's all been downhill from there
>Give everyone a decently good tank>Result
>>2139864Been playing tier 9 premiums today and 9/10 when I see one of these they're free damage.
you don't even get bounty equipment in the part of the BP fucking hell, the greed
>>2144787You have to trade your tokens for those.
You guys can switch to War Thunder at any time!
>>2144845Same shit, different greedy company
>>2144792That you get 4 (four) free
Fuck triangles and fuck squares. Game would be better off without them both.
>>2144845War Thunder Air Realistic is the only good mode.
Tier 10 mm is the worst its been. Absolute retards every game, you get in position and get ready and half your team have melted away in the first 3 minutes.
>>2144845I hate myself but not THAT much
AHT-7 on supertest.insanely strong tank destroyer for trading as it deals about the same damage as a Jagdpanzer E100 on a turreted platform and not too slow.>>2145173don't look at this bro...
>>2146956>reserve trackSo it just comes round a corner, blasts you, then rolls back and you can't stop it.And unlike the 4k5 is has nonzero camo and armor.Very gay.
Today's mission will fuck me right in the ass."Cause 10% of the total amount of damage caused by your team."There goes my dog.
>>2146956Need this and the Ashigaru TO BE HONEST
>>2147152Ashigaru better get some fat ass buffs because there's so many free alternatives i'd rather be playing than that shit, even with a bias towards japanese tanks39 km/h top speed is tragicthe gun handling is legitimately dogshit and not what you want on a tank destroyer firing every 6 seconds (not accounting for gun cooling, which nerfs your gun accuracy for not interacting with the mechanic)
>>2147196To give you an idea of how DOGSHIT the dispersion stats on the Ashigaru is:Worse than the big hitting heavy tanks that deal 750+ damage per shot.Worse than even the shittest handling autoloaders outside of the rinoceronte, which is the lowest bar possible in terms of tier 10 gun handling.Similar in gun dispersions to 116-F3 and Kranvagn, and the Ashigaru doesn't have the armor profile to spend time aiming in during brawls.I haven't even touched upon the heavy-class tier top speed and it almost the lowest hp pool at tier 10. If this turd is assembly shop then it's the easiest skip of my life...
>>2147196>0.26jesus lmaowhat the fuck maneven with 0.2 cooled, LOL0.31 with that DPM looks promising but yeah with that mobility and that bloom you just have to sorta sit in one place and hold down LMB which is not what I expect from a wheeled TD
>>2147207Saw two WG testers platooned in the ashigaru in a match today and they just sucked ass all game.
>>2147038This reserve track thing just pisses me offNot on this tank, but how the mechanic is handled by WG, why not give it to any tank with 4 tracks?Make something interesting instead of >What if we put gimmick on tank with gimmick to put in loot boxes
>>2147412They'll do a mechanical pass on all the tanks with multiple tracks after they merge NA and EU servers and remove rammers in equipment 3.0
>>2147412>give tank multiple tracks>don't give it the reserve track mechanic>meanwhile Lesta does give any tank with multiple tracks the reserve track mechanicour devs are just retarded & incompetent
>>2147533>Try out lesta's wot>The fucking spg rape my medium tank with almost perfect accuracy (SOMEHOW) every 2-3 gamesDid they buffed spg on lesta?
>>2153176Yes they did.Guess we know which half of pre split wargaming kept buffing arty.Nice digits btw.
>>2153183the digits seem to continue
Are there any gimmicky module choices left after the big culling of stock modules? I remember that there were some stock turrets that had a better armor profile than the top turret, and also some meme stock gun tanks.
>>2154285Not really. Most of those gimmicks are useless af anyway.
>>2154285Only two things I can think of are using stock turrets with less weakspots like amx 65 t and contender.
>>2154819VTU had better gun depression on stock turret
>>2154285stock 110 gun with goldstock is-3-ii with the 100mm guns that unloads/charges faster and more DPM stock lhmtv gun with the 75mm HE pen
>faggot blocks on purpose>talks mad shit when i asked why he pushed me to die and take 3 shots himself for 330 damage done>wah wah report me wg dont do anything>save replay for before xmassbuddy got some nice family time without wot :^)
>>2136216Jokes on you, i dont.I teched all the way up to amx 120 and realized it was impossible to free play tier 10 without vast amounts of tier 5-6 grinding to cover costs. That and gold ammo made me sad. But man it was a fun tank to roll down hills into people.
I have 10k bonds, which premium to buy? I'm eyeing the 130PM TD.Is it any good?
>>2157008Yeah its ok.Good camo, good damage, tolerable view range and speed.Only really bad qualities are the iffy accuracy and low standard pen, but the heat is really good and doesn't have a low velocity.Worth having for missions as well.
>>2155823It's the best feeling, whenever something happens I just report them for being antisemitic and they get banned usually the same day, sometimes even permanently with little or no evidence. Like one time an arty was focusing me the whole game for some reason, I just sent a ticket to support with the replay saying it was a targeted antisemitic attack and his account disappeared like on the Stalin pictures
>>2157008polak MT is an overall good tank
Should I play the Pancernik?
>>2157065wow, it must feel great to be a part of the thought police
>>2157561It's fun to play if you like taming shit guns and can barrel block your hull weakspots, but it doesn't do anything special.
>>2158025>taming shit gunsNot only is the handling dogshit, it always max lowrollsI don't think I've seen a single shot above 600 damage in like the 15 matches I played before I gave up on itthoroughly unenjoyable dogshit
consumable and equipment discount for the next 5 days
>>2157008Obj. 268 V5
Should I create the blueprints for the IS-7?I dont like the obj 257 to be frank
>>2158868You could, the two aren't very similar except that they teach you to play recklessly with overangled sides rather than relying on the pike.
>>2158870yeah, well the IS-3 was such a good tank I love it.The Obj 257 is not bad either but the grind is fucking unbereable, especially when you get matched up with tier 11 nowadays.
>>2158871>but the grind is fucking unbereableIt's like that for 10 years now, free to play ends at Tier 8 by design.
>>2158868if you have free tech line selector i would actually take is-7 for the field mod unlockall the glazing people have towards is-7 is when the tank is fully decked out with field mods. without them you are playing the is-7 at like 40% of the fun factortake a look at the acceleration graph here. without field mods you're going to be about 10-15 km/h slower as a stock IS-7 because you absolutely need the field mod for improving ground resistances and unlocking the mobility slot for your grousers.
>>2158881I don't actually. I used one for the Italian TDs and the other one for the medium soviet line, 430U.So I'm grinding for the IS-7 like a retard.
>>2158898it's so overi recommend to actually abandon the grind and go back to is-3 to branch off into object 277 at this point, unless your goal is specifically the kr-1 at tier 11
>>2158908Might as well get through the is7 now, it won't get any easier in the foreseeable future.
>>2158912yeah i guess it doesn't hurt to unlock is-7 at leasti could not imagine trying to grind out 325k exp with slow gimped is-7 and shitty 310 APCR against tier 11sobject 277 works fine at stock config and you get to have fun using top of the class 340 penetration HEAT
>>2158916Are you playing with gold?Now is the time to bank up on convertible Xp and Gold to get free Xp during the next 1:50 conversion rate.
>>2158908nah man, I'm half way there for the IS-7 I'll keep grinding till I get that shitty IS-7.
>>2158920with assembly shop coming soon in january / february i don't think there's gonna be a gold conversion to free exp event for a while.WG even went out of their way to remove the announced sale they had for this month at like 1:35 rates>>2158921godspeed anon
>>2158928>godspeed anonthank you man, would be really nice if the teams didnt melt in 5 minutes
>>2073612Only good thing about WoWP imo are the prototype/paper planes.
>>2159167I was a WoWP alpha tester and I actually liked the game during alpha but it felt like they just dumbed it down and stripped out all the fun by the time it released.
F2P only gets 1 Xmas Box for free?
>>2160348Yes, did you expect more?
>>2160368Honestly? Yes.But I don't know why I was expecting more from a shit company like wargaming.
>>2160374F2P is just there to hook you, they want you to reach Tier8 and start spending. That's it, guess why all the noobie shitters get Tier 6 tanks gifted.
>>2160383>reach Tier8 and start spendingThat's just scummy. After Tier 8 your credit income after a battle is usually negatie without premium time, even if you get into a winning team.And you are just spamming non-gold ammo.
>>2160393Probably that's why they are adding the dog to boost credits a little bit more.
>>2160393That's how it is since forever, I got 14 years in this game and it was always like this. You need certain premium tanks + a premium account to earn money past Tier 8.Fun fact: Arty is the only class which earns money on Tier 10 at all, everything else is loosing money on average.
>>2160406Wait, even light tanks are credit negative at tier 8+ ?
>>2160409https://tomato.gg/economics/all/30?tiers=0000000001Mostly
>>2160393you just need to play tier 8+ tanks with high damage per ammo shot, and ideally good penetration on the standard rounds. can't play anything fast-firing or autoloader so that disqualifies all lights and mediums if you want to play tier 10 without premium time>>2160409>Wait, even light tanks are credit negative at tier 8+ ?if you play properly with food taking -20k credits per battle for the viewrange boost, yeah. the only light tanks that can go decently well without food is czech autocannons light tank line
To be fair it's not THAT hard to get a few premiums for free, and if you sink a bit of money into the game you tend to stack way more premiums than you'll ever need.You can get a free premium from the Twitch tokens right now for example, not that the options are incredible but I honestly like my Obj274a
>>2160430>Obj274aI'm 10 token away.Last time I got the T34, but it sucks. By the time I reach the frontline, everyone is dead.
>>2160430https://tomato.gg/economics/all/30?tiers=000000010&nations=&sort=avg_profit&direction=true&tankType=premiumFunnily enough, the easy to get free Tier8 premiums are also the worst Tier8 premium tanks to earn credits.
>>2160436I don't want to overhype it but I definitely think it beats the Strv which is just a shitty Cent 1 clone.The armor profile is very nice and respectable for a medium, it's pretty mobile all things considered, and the gun hits pretty hard.The downsides are that it has poor gun depression (-6, but that's slightly above average for a soviet med really) and the gun handling is not exceptional. I actually personally find the gun works REALLY well for me, like it almost never lets me down, but it's not amazing on paper and plenty of other people complain about it.But it's a solid if not impressive mid-range brawler that has workable soviet armor (300m~ turret and an autobounce UFP if you're able to find the sweet spot where you're using all 6 degrees of gun depression.Add to that 58kph of speed once you fix the ground resistances with a decent crew and 320 alpha and you could honestly do worse.
I'm almost there on my IS-7 grind guys, time to drop the obj 257.
>>2160447Yeah, that Strv sucks, it wasn't even a question which one is the better tank.Also, how good are the upcoming USA autocannons on the T20 line.I've farmed the 100.000 XP to unlock them on their release.
>>2160504Impossible to say how good they'll be since there's still room to tweak them.They seem kinda mediocre though, they had absolute dogshit pen that got a bit of a buff but it's too early to say if they'll have enough pen to do real work on release. The DPM/overheat doesn't seem super impressive so you basically just have a weird autoloader that can "interrupt" its reload by firing again before it fully cools down. I don't think they're going to break the meta, just be sorta alright and gimmicky. I was kinda hoping they'd have a higher firerate too, like they'd do half the damage they do now in exchange for firing twice as fast with twice as many shots before overheating. As is the RPM isn't quite that satisfying Czech LT autocannon playstyle but on a medium.
>>2160504High Alpha is currently king, so probably shit and a massive creditsink for gold ammo.
>>2160514>gold ammoremains to be seen the final values but right now you get like 18 more pen on gold, it's basically not even worth loading gold since the pen increase is so minisculeIt's also APCR vs AP on the Ares 90 so against anything that isn't perfectly flat armor it's an even smaller gap, imagine shooting gold for a whopping 5mm more pen. Lol, lmao even.
>>2160517Final offer: 50-70mm more pen and 5x the creditcost.
>>2160523Hard to say what they'll do but I'm still thinking closer to 245 AP and 280 APCR? I get it shouldn't be able to go through thick armor since it's an autocannon meant to flank stuff but 220 at T10 is kinda lol, at least 280 APCR could go through weakspots/cupolas if aimed properly.
>>2160529>US gimmick lineIt will be shit in some way.
>>2160531You say that but they buffed the M-V-Y to the point it's actually good.
It's a shame that the free 60 days premium time ends soon.It was sort of enjoyable to play this game.If that would be the default, the playerbase could grow much more.
>>21605531 year of premium is only 50€ during sales
I've just got the IS-7, kitted it out and played 10 or so battles.What an amazing piece of tank.
Anons, which tanks are you using for the "be the top Nth dps/xp" missions?
>>2160622Good for you, I'm only starting the tier 9 of that line.
>>2161103Mid tier shitters like the E8 Sherman, T7 wheely bongoloid or soup hellcat
>>2161103I just play normally, but if it's damage I play a heavy.Had one today so I just played IS7 since I was a couple games off getting the final field mod.
>>2161197it's gonna be a slog, I didnt like the obj 257 too much. The IS-7 is a significant improvement. Just grind through it cause the IS-7 is worth it.
Happy new year, guys!I will use the 10% discount for the T803, what about you?
>>2162166I used mine on KR-1
>>2162166I have fuckall trees unlocked so when I get around to it (when's the deadline for all these missions anyways? I've been saving them all to do them all at once) I'll probably just take the Szakal.I'm actually kinda looking forward to what they come up with for the Cent AX tree, the Cent AX is so fucking good now so if they manage to improve on it they could deliver something really fun.I'm not sure what gimmick it'd get though, maybe a mix of the T803 and Szakal? Each shot that you hit and penetrate increases your accuracy (decays over time) and also fills up a gauge that can be activated to give you a 25% reload boost for 15s.So you fire on reload, get a super accurate gun, and then burst ridiculous damage with pinpoint accuracy.
>>2162166BZ-79
>>2162208The stuff you get from tier 11 should be more goofy.I want to see a toggle to alter shell velocity to like 200, so you can lob shells over cover and pump hesh into campers roof decks.It would be a fun callback to playing golf in the low tier brit meds with the howitzers.
>>2162511I wouldn't mind a T11 light tank deploying anit-tank mines.Doesn't do too much dmg, but doubles/triples the track down time.
>Unlock the KR-1>It sucks compared to the IS-7>Unlock the Contriver>It sucks compared to the CanopenerLmao what's the point? Just more pointless shit to grind.
>>2162511I'd put low shell velocity on the Conq line to "call back" to the howitzers the Churchs used to haveI guess maybe a literal railgun would work on the Cent line where your shell velocity improves to like 2000m/s and it increases your alpha?
>>2163048Alpha buffs are lame imo.Penetration going up to like 400 temporarily would be sweet.Every minute or so it can just shove a shell into your tank almost regardless of armor.Or they could steal the lesta sabot rounds where the damage scales depending on the cross sectional area the round travels through.So like face to ass on a heavy it does over 1k damage, but sniping a cupola with air behind it you do like 200.
What should I buy using the Holiday Spirit resources?2D camos from older holiday events or coins for the gacha machine?
>>2163862I personally don't like any of the styles except the carpet one, gatcha machine gives you credits, free xp, credit boosters and experimental equipment and parts
Hey Guys! Someone's maybe going to have an extension stream on Twitch yesterday. I suggest making it a few days, not just a few hours.The image below says:Playing Tanks Blitz / World of Tanks!!!Extension stream - 1 viewer = +1 minute, $1 = +1 hour!!!
He's Nickname:l_der_kater_l
>played 50 games today>25% WRSick of this rigged pile of shit, I'm going to War Thunder, adios.
>>2164747Retard
>>2164747>The only player who was in all 50 of my games is me, why is my winrate so consistently low?>It must be wargayming's fault
>>2165448If you legitimately believe that you clearly have not dealt with some of these teams lately>consistently top the scoreboard on exp and damage>bro you're le only heckin constantyes, the other guy is probably dogshit, and if you're a pixel perfect gamer with immaculate gamesense you can drag your WR up to 55-60% of the time but this also often involves playing with other highly skilled players and stacking 3 actually competent people on a team. If you're solo queueing you never stood a chance.
>>2165462I was shitting around solo with boosters on in random tier 8s for 30 battles to grind silver earlier and ended up with 63%, it's not hard.
>>2165468Sort by vehicles :^)Also it's all luck of the draw, the reality is that on a 15 player team you can exert some influence but more often than not you can't actually decide the battle if the other 14 players are retardedbest example I have is from yesterdayI was playing E100 (I know, already throwing the match) on Highway. I go city, rack up 6k damage, but end up in a 2v3 as everyone else in the city with me is literally nothing more than a meat shield. I actually could've probably won the city and my team could've won the match IF our T110E5 was willing to flank a 150~ HP E100; I could've pushed in to a better position, fought against and beat a BZ-75, and would've been ready to deal with an enemy BatChat 25.Instead he just AFK'd while the E100 stared me down, the BC flanked me out and I was caught in a dogshit position and died. The T110E5 simply sat there and did literally nothing the entire time, didn't even secure the kill on the E100 or shoot the BC clipping me.I did everything I could, and so did two other people on the team, but it simply was not enough to make up for 12 other deadweight meatshields, 5 of whom did literally 0 damage.
>>2165533Onslop in two weeks fampai, see you there.
>>2165571I almost never play Onslaught although honestly i might go hard this season cause I have a ton of bonds to spend. Wondering if it'll be worth picking up the Charlemagne or the new addition or if I should just grab the Kpz and call it a day.
>>2165578You should it's better than 1v29 especially once you get out of wood league.If onslop was a permanent game mode I would play it exclusively just because games are faster and it really punishes the average random battle coward who won't spend their hp.
>>2165580>it really punishes the average random battle coward who won't spend their hp.this shit was hilarious, I'd just queue up E100 and retard push and get rewarded for it
>>2165571onslaught is gonna be funny as fucki never played light tanks so i'm going to practice it on my alt and try to carry myself out of it in a heavy tank metasaid alt also has like 1000 WTR so i'm going to feast on all the after battle messages
>>2165592Heavies are actually kinda shit because they get really mediocre role skills.The meta is e50m and tds like foch b and e4. Maybe a little object 140 or batchat.Last sneason I played pretty much exclusively e50m to gold then crashed all the way back down grinding field mods after I bought out the store.Lights are decent on open maps like ghost town but it takes a lot of clicking to keep dropping planes while you're trying to fight.If you have the map awareness for that you might as well just play e50m and be really devious isolating people and killing them.
>>2165604yeah i know assault mediums are the way to actually climb if you play onslaught at a decent leveli wouldn't mind light tanking but i got into it too late and trying to learn how to plane in a gold - legend lobby is actual griefingi actually enjoy onslop at a lower level. so many random shit happens at this skill range and tons of people crashing out because of a mix of people trying to climb out of ELO hell and people who DGAF and play for weeklies
>>2164747War Blunder is fucking soulless and is in a much worse state than WOT. The core game itself is literally hear the engine and spot the pixel, and I'm fully convinced that the type of retards that scream WT is better than WOT are simply too retarded to learn WOT mechanics and utilize it. The premium tanks problem is even worse in WT because gayjoob can release extremely broken tanks on release, then nerf them at a later date. Balancing is literally non-existent, and gayjoob will nitpick false info to nerf some tanks while refusing to implement secret documents on some.
>>2165578Kpz and Concept are both fun Tier9 tanks, Charlemagne feels like a waste of bonds.
>>2165610You need to play Onlaught during the first days, to get carried by no life pros for a bit. It's hell to play during week 2 or later, poolish kid platoons are gonna throw so many games for you that climbing gets hard.
>>2165624they made it easier to climb to silver now so it's not that bad even with 45% WR as long as you place high within the teamfor my main, i'm content with what i have now so i don't feel the need to run the treadmill for more bond equipment / reskinned tier 10. i'll just play the mode for the gameplay itself and have fun doing something i never done within the last 3 onslaughts by light tanking
>>2165626I just want to get the market to buy the chinese TD, last time I gave up due to shitty platoons throwing match after match.
>>2165628the 114 SP2 is ok but i had more fun in the DBV-152 and object 268 v5I also forgot the LTC II is a new reward now so I might have to grind for it if it turns out stronger than the projet louis in randoms
>>2165634https://tanks.gg/tank/ltc-iiLooks neat. 10 shell mag with 2s intraclip. Closest thing we've had to pre-nerf bulldog since the light tank changes.
>>2165638Tier 9 AMX 13/57 sounds not like fun to be honest.265mm pen max and only 1500HP against Tier 11 in every 2 or 3 match.
>>2165655Anon, the projet louis is already in the game as an uptiered 13 57 and people love it despite it having even less pen (248) and even less hp (1400) than the LTC II. It even has worse camo and view range than its tier 7 counterpart.
>>2165638i took a look at the comparison and it's actually pretty grim for the LTC III skipped over the 42 second reload and 18 second unload time, that is ball breaking fora combat scout, especially in 3 minute game metaprojet louis at least have the module damage gimmick from unloading fast at 7 seconds
>>2165664It looks worse than the Char Mle. 75 and that's a gimmic tank.
>>2165448>go to your place on the map>fight and trade well >stay in the fight>meanwhile the rest of your team have surrendered the other half of the map and are now in your baseyou are le only heckin constant
>>2165688The game's on life support mode anyway, you won't have to suffer much longer. Giving away all those free tier 10 lines was a Hail Mary. WoT content creators have about a sixth of the views/subs what War Thunder creators have.
it's another "teammate rushes ahead to die providing crucial cover for the enemy tanks" episode
Tier 11 tanks are shit lmao, the only good one is the Taschenfatte
>>2165695Lmao fucking retard. It only explain that none of the WT niggers play the game. WOT has much higher twitch and player numbers.
>>2165755World of tanks runs very heavy twitch drops campaigns and essentially viewbots itself.The viewership isn't organic at all and all the CCs are dickheads. The ones that aren't dickheads get removed from the program.Besides which the game isn't flexible or expressive.This isn't like the runescape guys who can pull obscene numbers by doing self imposed challenge runs.No ones going to make a russian tanks only account and make a video series on it exploring getting the object 260.All you can really do is show content previews and match highlights.And those get incredibly stale.In conclusion, if wargaming want to revive world of tanks on youtube, they should make onslaught a permanent game mode available tiers 6-11.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>2165755>Thinking that anyone watches WoT on Twitch outside of getting dropsLmao fucking retard
>>2165774>>2165788WT drones spotted. WOT is big enough to feed dozen of streamers and the game is entertaining enough to watch. Huge nigger cope. WOT playerbase is something like x3 x4 of TroonThunder.
>>2166053I have literally just viewbotted world of tanks for at least 60 hours to get a shitty tank.And ima do it again.
>>2165612Core game of WoT: if you don't load gold and use premium consumables with 4+ perk crew you are unironically sandbagging your team.WT premiums are still better than "unnerfable" ones from WoT. LeHF single-handedly killed fun in everything tier 5-6 range.
I thought the Contriver was shit at first but I like it now after getting upgrades. You just have to play as a support heavy not a frontline and you can be very powerful. People don't realise or expect how accurate the doubles can be at range.
>>2166452>You just have to play as a support heavy not a frontlineThat makes it shit, just because of how the MM works.
>>2166668Just play behind one of the 3 Taschenratte on your team and it works well.
>>2165448You're literally 3% of the match, what makes you think consistently carrying the 47% while hoping the 50% is shit is normal
remember when game was fun?
>>2168000It can still be fun
>>2165688>>2166743Next you'll say anyone with a >50% winrate only has it by platooning or cheating, cope harder.
>>2031355It's all bout choosing meta (and meta shift proof) vehicles with least-bad module grinds, and high base pen and/or infallible gold round. The trouble comes in when you're grinding things in many lines just to try them out.
>>2105192They make good drivers.
>>2110579Get the Chinese one as well for even bigger boom stick.>>2110678
>>2130664People waiting until you die to shoot the side of tanks that you're keeping occupied - like there wasn't 3rd person to verify - is a perennial problem. Same with someone initiating a break through push yolo getting in behind a brawl, and no one committing to going ham on the interference generated.
>>2168000The post-apocalyptic stuff was the first fun I've had since then.
>>2031355Depends on goals.You can get your free tens and bond a satisfactory premium and be pretty set to jump in at most tiers.On one hand you wont have much bond or experimental equipment, but on the other you wont have any tanks that require it.If you get three lines for free the best 3 are probably Batchat and IS-7, then either leo 1 or obj 430u.Something notable about free tank line selections is they skip the need to unlock the subsequent tier 11 to elite the vehicle and be eligible for field mods.This is a big deal on each of the tanks listed, and each line here also leads to other handy tanks like amx 13 105 and obj 140/e50m.
I took the CS-63 and the UDES 15/16 :)
I'm afraid to play further It can't be 3/3 wins with the T110E5 with the last win getting 5 kills, Steel wall, high caliber, confederate all with the wrong equipment setupThe other game was an E65 game with 200k winnings
>>2168820>moving the goalpost and projectingThere was literally nothing wrong with both those posts
>>2160504Remember the auto-loader Bulldog? Like that and the Louis, probably.
>>2170843They're better than that. There's zero "reload time" except when switching shell types and other than overheating they fire somewhere between 2 and 3 times per second. The unbuffed version of the tier 10 on the test server could reliably hit people for 400-800 at medium ranges in a single burst and it's apparently more accurate than that now.
>>2160504I'm very hopeful that they'll be good.People who are smart and abuse both the blue he and really fiend for magdumps and trading eight to one should make them seem decent.The fact that they don't reload except to intuition is very exciting, no ones going to be able to reliably guess your heat status so the tanks will naturally have a big fear factor.
Did the average skill level at tier 10 drop or something recently? I'm just getting back into the game and I feel like I can't rely on teammates to hold my flanks in my UDES anymore. Shit is absolutely infuriating since I killed the reverse speed with a field mod
Anyone own the AMX 67 Imbattable? how shit is it? I owned the AMX 50 B and it's just unplayable, gun is just not good enough to make up for no armour. Don't understand why I would even bother researching this tier XI.
The fantome is a German tank It has German style cupolas, smoke dischargers, head and rear lights
>>2171483they gave out 2 tier 10 lines
>>2172560okay and what are you going to do about it
>>2172635I'm gonna write a comment on a mongolian basket weaving forum
>>2172768okay*adds another T-54/T-55 premium to Germany*
Daily reminder that the game is rigged and you suck at it.
>>2166053Holy copium tsunami
just had an insane idea for the Progetto T11, although it's probably not original - you use the select next shell mechanic to decide which shell goes into the auto-reloader, and then that shell is indicated by a color in the magazine. Black for standard APCR, yellow/gold for premium HEAT, and orange for HESo an example magazine would be gold > gold, so you have high pen HEAT rounds when you're dipping into your mag and you need your shots to count, black (standard round) and then you'd load standard APCR as your fourth shot. But the thing is Italian meds have really good HE they can never use because of the way intuition works with auto-reloaders and this would fix that - you'd fire two rounds and a target for your HE would pop up. You'd press to queue up HE and it'd reload HE as your third round without clearing and wasting your two HEAT rounds. You'd hit the target with HE, get rewarded for smart ammo use, and then when a heavier target rushes you shortly after you'd hit him with three HEAT rounds instead of your gun being empty because you wanted to use HE.
Robocop battle pass incoming, premium M-VI-Y as the reward.
I'm not going to lie, taking one of the worst T9 tech tree tanks in the entire game and copy-pasting it with barely any fucking difference (40 more alpha at the cost of like 200DPM) is definitely a bold choice.This is a tank that not only can you basically get for free, most people spend fxp to get past it. And it's not like there's a lack of American heavy tank premiums in the game.If I just need a crew trainer and don't want to spend money, I can get the Ae Phase 1 or the Concept 1B.If I am willing to spend, I'd rather shell out more for the M54 Renegade, T26E5 Patriot or hell even the M6A2E1 is unique and interesting at least rather than just being a tech tree clone.
>>2174700Really don't know why it's not the ares mbt since autocannon meds are coming out at the exact same time.Guess WG just doesn't plan stuff.>>2174459Sounds overly complicated and not compatible with WGs spaghetti code since no autoloader can load shells of different types into the same mag.Just give it two mags of 2 rounds that can be loaded independently and swapped.So you carry one apcr mag and one he mag.You fire both apcr shells, then mag swap and load 2 he rounds quickly.You can now intuition for a third apcr shell or just fire your he.
>>2174837I imagine they think the Ares prem is worthy of being a lootbox prize to really milk the money, but I remember when WG dropped premiums well ahead of a line to really get players excited for the tech tree and to get them to buy into early access.The Progetto 46 was a really good marathon tank that was well worth buying before Italian mediums came out. Now, honestly, you can skip buying it and get a Pantera instead and you aren't missing out on too much. Contradictious, lots of fun and well worth splashing out for before the double barrel line dropped. Obviously still way better than the Conceiver so it has some value but if you want to save some money you can grind the line to the Canopener and get the same gameplay without buying a premium tank. The Ares prem looks a bit better than the tech tree one but why bother buying a bunch of lootboxes for it if I can just grind the tech tree one out for free?
I'm 14k xp away from the 803I want to blow my brains out playing T10 heavies
>>2176049i hated the t803 hull so much that i'm heavily considering selling it and going back to t110e5it's just so damn long and losing the boat shaped hull that i used to bounce things with using t110e5 means i'm down like 800 effective HPif i wanted to jerk off playing hulldown i would be playing my CW chieftain in the first place and i found out about it too late
>>2176155E5 really that good?Been watching some gameplay on it and considering grinding out the line, the tumor on top is a bit of a turn-off but obviously that can be played around and the tank looks pretty good otherwise.
>>2176165i'd rather deal with t110e5 tumor than the fat ass turret on the t803 which takes ammorack damage all the timei can't describe my hatred for the t803 chassis well enough so this image speaks 1000 wordsit sucks for aggressive play in comparison to t110e5
>>2176165E5 is mad good but it demands that you wiggle constantly and not repeek the same spots if you're fighting on a hill.The only time you can be lazy is corners that hide the cupussy.
>>2176172also some blues and unicums are getting aware of the shot trap weakspot by shooting AP or APCR underneath the t803 gun mantlet when it is gun depressedyou can't even hold hulldown angles against good players anymoret803 only claim to fame is being able to farm shitters with the ability ramping up DPM but every other tier 11 heavy does that too so i find increasingly lower reasons to take out t803
>>2176172I have the KR-1 and Contriver and their Tier 10 counterparts are better than both. Tier 11 is just more shit to grind. Taschenfatte is the only one which is a real step up but desu it could do with a nerf to lfp armour values.
>>2176187BZ-79 is insane upgrade too
Going through my garage and I have a ton of premium tanks I don't remember having lmao
>>2176172>deal with t110e5 tumor than the fat ass turret on the t803 which takes ammorack damage all the timeEven with hardening? o_0
>>2177894experimental hardening helpsthe chonk size of the t803 and turret design really doesn't help against multiple firing angles while i could somewhat deal with bad situations like that in the t110e5 due to the more compact size and boat shaped hull being able to troll bounce
Today's battles are gonna be shit, weekend camper bots are online and I'm on my way to the 3rd loss of the day.
came back to the game after 5 years, wtf is it with all these double tap high damage tanks
>>2178173You are le only constant
>>2178231haha bro look up the MBT-B if that isn't what killed youjust check the stats on tanks.ggI assume you're talking about the half dozen double-barreled tanks they've been introducing though, there's also a bunch more stupidly high alpha TDs because it's fun to make one mistake and lose half your HP to a guy sniping from the back of the map.
>>2178552it was a TBT or some shitI hate how WG saw the bourrasque and thought "we really need more of this in our game"then again they added tier XI tanks so why am I surprised
>>2178573TBT is basically just another Skoda T56, it's one of the least egregious of the two-shot autoreloading nigtanks since it has a fucking atrocious 32.60 clip reload and a laughable DPM of 1651If he shoots someone else you just kill himlike get a load of this shit, yeah the MBT-B is a tier higher at T10 but 2400 clip in 8.5 seconds lmaoIf this thing catches you in close range after you've fired and you have like a 10s+ reload it's just lights out. And if you do have a short enough reload to shoot him once before he finishes unloading you still haven't traded very favorably unless his ammo rack was already damaged and you manage to cook it off.
>>2178231the game environment transitioned to high damaging single shot or autoloaders that dump 3 shells into you within 6 secondsDPM playstyle is a lot harder to pull off now, and tanks aren't armored enough to stay out in the open to use DPM unless it's a hulldown tank hiding behind a hill
>>2178231It's nice to come out of your rock, but the T8 meta is 800 damage bursts now
Fuck it might as well grind out the Robocop tank, got nothing better to do.
>>2180259Seems awful, I think I'm gonna deliberately not pay the gold so I don't have it in garage.The two zero skill crew are in the freebie side.
>>2180270It's a pretty shit vehicle but in all seriousness in this game now, you activate a booster with a tier 9 premium, play a few games, play as part of a lemming train and earn about a million credits per hour and a bunch of bonds too. It's worth 3500 gold.
>>2180277Idk about that, some tanks really aren't worth the anguish of playing them.What I did notice is they're selling mentor tokens in bundles this time round.As a weeb looking to replace all his crews with girls und panzer tie-in crews, these are of phenomenal value to me.
>>2180277Not really, it's a very mediocre/bad tech tree vehicle sidegrade. You can argue the economy is somehow "worth" it but you could also just wait a bit for an actually good battle pass tank or buy a Tiger Maus for bonds or whatever
i stole this from reddit but you can revert battle results to pre WOT 2.0 now.never installed a mod so fast in my lifehttps://wgmods.net/7450/
>>2180814how the fuck is thai even real
>free tech tree choice running out before the new line releasesfuck you WG
>>2180836Lol retard. Do you expect them to give you newly released line for free?
>>2180259>got nothing better to do.Not with this game, or with that tank having a better less cupolAIDS stock turret and higher dpm/gold pen 105mm
>>2180836you also have to select your discounted christmas line before it releaseswhat, you thought you'd get the hot new line for cheap?pay up
>>2181536>what, you thought you'd get the hot new line for cheap?hasn't been the case for a while as new tech tree lines were getting excluded from tech tree discountsthis point would have been more relevant like 2-3 years ago
>>2181551Yes.Last year there were global discounts for tech tree vehicles due to Tankfest and both the Tesák line and Canopener line were not eligible.
>>2181551>>2181562i had to dig this up but they stopped giving new tank lines credit discounts since tankfest 2021 with czech heaviesthis nitpick is 4+ years old
Just me or is the T-54D so fucking goodNever had a bad match in this thing
>>2182042Been keeping an eye on holiday ops credit stats and it's rank 23 overall.Clearly it ain't bad.
>>2182276For me it's something about the surprisingly reliable armor scheme and the gun rarely ever lets me down with a solid 390 alpha, with the soft stats for dispersion it should troll me way more but it just works well for me.If I had to complain it has dogshit gun depression at -5 degrees and it's a bit on the slow side but it just works really well for me. I can brawl like I'm playing a HT, I can flank like a proper medium if I don't try to push early game positions that require a much higher top speed, it's just comfortable to play.
Jews
>>2157065>jewgaming are unironic jews
>Mle in bond shopouugghhh that's a tank I lootboxed for in the free bond shop...
>>2182940i had to look because i thought you were bullshitting meeven though projet louis is a different enough playstyle, i should have saved money on 50 boxes and simply buy char mle 75 from the bond shop lmao
>>2182940WGenerous
I've started the Ares 75 vehicle.Which are good skills for the crew? Apart from brother in arms and repairsAlso what equipment to use on that line? Are vert stabs worth it?
>US autocannon HE pen >10 (ten) this is singlehandedly the most blatant antifun decision made in this game
>>2184856It has a super weird pen formula and actually pens a way higher number while doing way more damage than it should against medium thickness armor. Next time you see a lightly armored tank with like 30-40mm of armor, just shoot him with HE. You'll be surprised how much damage it does.
>>2184856someone wrote explanation of ares autocannon line having special HE rules on reddithttps://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/comments/1pqg90k/ive_seen_a_lot_of_confusion_around_the_new_ares/if you don't wanna click that shit>no splash, meaning no internal module damage>10mm HE is meant to stop the HE shell from penning spaced armor and track wheels>ares HE shell damage starts dropping off after hitting 40-50mm armor despite the ingame value listing at 10mmbesides, you don't have to feel sorry for the USA autocannons. the tier 10 and 11 are going to dump 2000~ damage into you in 3 seconds if they catch your back after intuition switching in only 2.5 seconds
>>2184924There was a guy streaming the 90c last night who was getting 6k dpg.You can just punish people for 700-900 damage every time they make a mistake.They're super underrated I think.
>>2182940I will never ever play light tanks or squares
Was there really a need to ban safe shot mod?...
>>2185064Yeah.Autocannons being in the game mean that mods that restrict firing under certain conditions (allies in cursor, heat bar about to be full) are an unfair advantage.
>>2185293>heat barOkay, that's fair, but blocking shot when an ally drives in front of you shold be okay.
>>2185293>>2185337I think it's hasty on WG's part and there's a decent chance that Safe Shot works something out with them to ensure them the mod won't be an unfair advantagebut then again WG is literally retarded and hates their community so it's entirely possible they just tell the guy to pound sand
WoT classic when? All the tanks they've released in the last 8 years are annoying as fuck.
>>2184706Use the same skill set you used on MT
>>2185912We had Classic once and it was kinda fun, not sure people would want to play it nonstop but it might be fun as a once-a-year event for a few weeksThey should just do Frontline frequency "flashback" events where you can only play certain tanks from certain years, like only tanks released before 2019granted there've been some rebalances so it wouldn't be 1:1 but it might be fun to play "no autoloaders" as a gamemode
>>2184706Surprisingly good camo. Stock engine is still fast with Ground Resistance skill. Get the top gun first. Optics, Bush Xray, Your choice-- counter enemy lights, and vulture counter-push to back up your front line. Take speculative suppressive HE shots at light tank bushes in the early game. Always be kill securing.>>2184856The lack of criticals is what's most bullshit. But we could say that of HE face raping open top vehicles in general.
>>2186300you get module damage with US autocannons I can't tell you how many people I have set on fire with just the T8 tank
most ares shitters shoot until the gun overheats and they they die with like 400 damage dealt I use that to my advantage and murder them with burst fire
Anyone know why after the update I'm getting a lot of 10v10 player matches and waiting time is taking over 1 minute? EU servers btw.
>robocop tank for improved pass onlylmao
>>2187489You already got a free tank during Christmas.
>>2187317Ares spam is torturing the matchmaker
>>2187489This is the case for years now, the last free BP tank was the 56tp
>>2187489It being a dogshit tech tree clone aside, why would you expect to get a premium battlepass tank for free?
So many shitters are now in Onslaught grinding for T11, its even worse than before. Unplayable outside of peak EU hours.
>>2188153If there's an abnormal number of strvs and grilles I'll just jam rhm games.'s cool.
>>2188164It's slavic kids that just drive around aimlessly, they don't know the maps.
>>2188177All the more reason to play a light and plane their retarded random battles deployments.
Friday night on EU servers and I'm getting 10v10 matches and waiting almost 2 minutes. Had a match where there were 4 heavies on my team that didn't move at all. Don't know what's going on. It says there are 107k on WOT rn.
>>2189471in what tier? time?even on NA i can get into 10v10 matches if i queue up tier 7 at like 4 am weekdays
>>2189471I do know what's going on.Ares spam is torturing the matchmaker.Since 2.0 tanks need to be matched against their tier, class, and role with a reasonable spread.The matchmaker is currently flooded with high tier support mediums and retards trying to grind the t20.
I’ve been taking a break from WOT due to holiday ops and oh man there’s a shit ton of complaints from ARES and bad people grinding onslaughtIs the gameplay really that bad atm?
>>2189570I was in tier 9 arty.
what does the dog meter do and what happens when it is full?
>>2190359You've shocked your dog enough that it stands up.
While I enjoy playing this new Ares line, it broke the alredy shitty balance of the game even more.Some light tanks are slower than mediums, they also can't spot shit, some medium tanks more armored than heavy tanks.And now we have a pack of mediums that can punish those who are on loading time.I'm glad that my 2.0 60 days premium expires in 6 days, so I can say good bye this shitfest.
>>2190411Who tf care about balance faggot? What's matter is having fun
>>2190426
THERE ARE SO MANY USELESS FUCKS NOW, ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY !!!
>UI DISCOVERYSpacebar restores the old layout, Vehicle Parameters to the Right, Crew Left, a Grid with Filtered Tanks center.
i was looking up what tier 8 medium could be a decent match for the ares 75 autocannon spam with the following requirements>armored lower plate and 50mm+ side armor to not get cheesed too hard by HE>enough DPM to somewhat contest the ares 75's 2900~ DPM>big enough hp pool to take hitsand the answer i came to is the m48 raumpanzer with the boat-shaped hull, of all things.the cupola is a problem but not having a weaker UFP or LFP for ares players to yolo dump their clip on seems worth the tradeoffstridsyxa almost hit all the requirements too but side armor is 40mm and susceptible to HE yolo cheese
>>2191915You can fuck on them with just about anything if you aren't lazy and peek quickly and precisely.I was farming them in the shitpack the other day because I would just leave cover, snap their turret and roll back and the stupid shits would be satisfied trading single shots with me.Anything with above average armor also murderzones ares tanks.Behold; the humble 112.
>>2191925K-2 gods we're so back
>>2191932I haven't seen them in MM for ages now..
>>2191925yeah tier 8 heavy armor can more or less dunk on them for true easymode.i should have grinded out the t20 during holiday ops since i do really well with czech autocannon lights and i'd probably be slapping bitches decently well in an ARES too.
wew lad
>>2191992Gg, platoon is basically legal cheating.
>>2192039the platoon was made at the end of the battle to get brothers in arms I'm 30k XP away from the T9 tank, and I only had this tank for 40 battles
it's crazy how many 5xs I have stacked and how literally impossibly slow the grind was without them, it feels like the game is balanced around having 5x missions
