Unrelated: I dunno if US has the same special, but I wanna point out that the current Military Parade special in the EU has a pretty rare discount: Might wanna throw some gold at that even if you don't have any immediate need for FreeXP.

Nordick posted:Oh right, the link was to the comparison page. I just saw the "gabman50" in the end of the URL and jumped to conclusions. My bad. I strongly disagree. If you aren't making a limitless amount of gold in tournaments, don't convert free XP unless you are certain you want to blow 80k free xp to kit out a tier 9 or something. If you have bought all the premium tanks you want, all the premium tank crew trainers you'll need, have all the premium time you'll use, have a reserve of gold for retraining/reskilling crews, have put gold camo on the tanks you want to keep forever, and have a stockpile for removing equipment or emergencies, then you can start converting free XP. NA players can make 3k minimum up to 10k per week just for being in the top 25% during the skirmish tournament group stages, which basically takes a 60% winrate. If you're doing skirmishes you have infinite gold so you can just blow as much gold as you want free xping anything you want.

Hellsau posted:I strongly disagree.  I said "might". I left it up to everyone's own judgement whether they actually do. There are a bunch of tier 7-9 tanks I will probably be buying in the near future and will likely want to use freeXP for some modules on them, so this'll come in handy. And even if I end up getting them a bit later, I still most likely won't have made enough passively. Nordick fucked around with this message at 08:53 on May 9, 2015 |

I think we all knew this Clan Wars gold is enough for premium time and can be saved up for a tier eight premium in a few months if you're in a decent clan. Being vaguely competent will get you more gold in a week doing tournaments than a week's top tier farming clan gold payout, with a chance (given a good bracket) that you'll make more gold in one week than I made in PURPL in a month while we were farming 17k gold a day. Basically NA folk if you aren't doing tournaments you should be. Ain't no need to be in a fancy pants clan. Sorry euros buy your own poo poo.

I play a good game, rack up 4 kills, 1200+ damage, then we lose  I play a horrible game, die early, somehow one guy on our team turns the whole game around by getting 7 kills by himself and we win only to get 900xp from the 5x bonus  Stupid 5x win bonus. It is a horrible, rotten carrot that only leads to disappointment, desperation, and broken dreams.

http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/pc-browser/19/98-ct/ Looks like a lot of tanks are getting buffed for 9.8, a lot of them long overdue, some of them pretty odd(Nashorn? KV-13 again??). Ungimping the turret traverse on the 3002D is the big takeaway for me, though. Some major buffs for the Churchill Garbage Carrier, too, but literally nobody plays it. Also: quote:Reworked tips on battle loading screens loving finally.

3 of my 5 games so far I have lost because the enemy team has gone lolcapfast. I guess if you want to waste your 5x paycheck go ahead? VV How are they handling tank corpses in that mode? BadLlama fucked around with this message at 17:51 on May 9, 2015 |

There's also testing of the new game mode, domination, which is pretty cool. It comes in two flavors, three-flag bombing run and single-flag reverse CTF. In both cases it's very high-action because everyone gets quick unlimited respawns. That we only get to try it in the 140, E5 and 50B probably helps as well.

the nashorn is reasonably quick and has the choice of an ok gun and an excellent one, it's definitely not one of the worst TDs in the game

it has poo poo mobility (hence the buffs to its ground resistance and traverse), no armor and its camouflage values aren't the best either, the only positive it has is the gun

Hey dudes the capping missions can now also be completed by getting a corresponding amount of defense points, so they are trivially easy. Also you can shoot tanks for LT-15 but they increased the requirement by 1000 so that is kinda rough. Also for the spg missions that stupid loving tracking mission is gone, and the splash multiple tanks mission becomes destroy an enemy in one shot / splash two / splash one kill one / kill two. Still gotta get two fires in one medium tank game, but that's what the Rudy and Cromwell are for. 9.7 missions - http://tanks.gg/en/wot/missions 9.8 test missions - http://test.tanks.gg/en/wot/missions

Meds still have mission to set fire to a higher tier tank, which has troubled me more than the platooning.

Fully Transitioned SilentStalker posted:- When 9.8 comes out, it's possible following premium vehicles will be removed from sales completely: Sexton I, Ram II, Pz.Kpfw. IV Schmalturm, SU-85I; And nothing of value was lost. The Sexton is worthless, the Pz4S is worthless, the Ram doesn't have pref matchmaking so why bother, and the Su85i has pref matchmaking but is incredibly mediocre. Buy the Ram 2 if you want a US Medium crew trainer, the 85i if you want a pref five TD, or just ignore all four.

Should I aim for the E75 or the Type 61? On one hand, the E75, i've heard, is a stupid silly fun tank and leads to one of the best clan wars heavies in the game (i think?). On the other hand, I really like the Japanese medium play style and the STB-1 is also one of the best clan wars mediums in the game (i think?). I can unlock either of them fairly shortly. fishception fucked around with this message at 21:00 on May 9, 2015 |

E75 is a great tank in competent hands (hint: not mine). Got my first Kolobanov's last night. Replay 5x weekends taketh away, but they also giveth. These guys were nice enough to drive in front of my gun in an orderly fashion and let me murder them. And somehow I got Spotter in my Tortoise. Pubbies are bad.
