Missing Name

Equipment chat: holy poo poo, I remember when I started and thinking "holy poo poo, its gonna take forever to buy my T-28 and then mount a gun rammer." I had it sitting in the garage for weeks until I got it ready with shells and a 75% crew. My first freshly-purchased Douchebagwagen2's first battle flat out bankrupt me and I had to sell some poo poo to get it repaired.

Now my depot says something like 20 medium gun rammers in use or just sitting there, waiting for me to be arsed to buy more tanks.

loving mindblowing.

Not quite following your story but if you are just starting out there is really no point in putting equipment on tiers 1-4. You get out of the tanks so fast and the equipment generally costs way more than the tank its just not worth it. When you have money in the future and want to start new lines then by all means put equipment on them.

I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

^nothing like camo & binocs.

The Good:
Was grinding toward the Lorr41t and had 200k xp sitting waiting for the AMX 30.

The Bad:
~500k silver away.

The Ugly:
OMC doesn't work for 9.7 yet?

Already seen several AMX 30Bs. Seeing AMX 30s is probably to be expected with people having tons of XP accumulated on the 13 90, but I didn't think I'd see quite this many in so few battles.

Also, light tank queue completely exploding, lots of people grinding the 13 90.

Just started down the E-50M line and I'm on the Tier VI VK30.01H(?) now. Being an avid player of the American M48A1 Patton line, what can I expect from these tanks? Anything good? Bad? Surprising?

Stock E 50 is as trash as stock M46, elited they are both fantastic and loads of fun.

Edit: Queue is crazy, SPGs outnumber heavies, mediums and TDs combined (just like old times!) and together they equal light tanks.

I am at a terrible decision. I only have enough xp in the 13 90 right now to go down one of the line options. Should I Bat it up first or 30B it?

Oh I had just meant so might keep my tier 3 and 4 Russian tanks for fun even as I move on to the kv-1. Binocs are going on all my tanks I assume, and I slapped a camp net on my t-46 to help its survivability.

I mean, I intend to keep moving up but surely there are a few low level tanks that are fun, right?

I have a legitimate issue with the new Tier 1-3 anti-clubbing feature. I'm all for cutting down on seal-clubbing, but the last German tank in the game that I have to kill is the Tier II Pz.I. That tank is already goddamn impossible to come across and no experienced player is ever going to drive it. What the hell am I gonna do now to get my Kill-All-Krauts medal?

there are lots of low level tanks that are fun and worth keeping, the problem is new players lack credits so not selling tanks early on means a lot of extra credit grinding. I guess it's a moot point if you invest in a premium or two like the church III/IS-6

The T-54 prototype is only $38? I thought WG over charged (Even more so) the poo poo out of tier 8's and charge like $50 for them.

So why did so many artillery get a view range nerf? If you're relying on your own view range then you probably have other problems.

Probably because maxxing out camo on an arty and hiding in a bush is really, really effective, so allowing you to see the enemy when you're 400 meters outside of when he can see you, would be a bit "unfair". ;)

I'm really glad they spare premium tanks from balance changes like these, even if it means removing them from the store.

The M3 Lee is a solid Tier IV tank but suffers from a high learning curve that newer players have trouble adjusting to early on in the game. Hence its terrible reputation. New low-tier players see "Medium Tank" and expect to have a Tier IV Sherman. The M3 Lee is very unforgiving for improper deployment but rewarding when played conservatively. Most experienced players tend to look at the Lee with a higher regard once they've learned the mechanics of the game and come back to it to grind the M4 Sherman or T1 Heavy.

Also my favorite historical tank.

After slacking off at work watching the stream for an hour or so I noticed the same thing. Might just be the games he played, but he is a pretty drat good player in that tank and his team seemed to support him with their bodies.
