Just ran into someone in a clan called [CHAIA] Cheng Guan. Looks like they got their clan name so I honestly don't see why they're so upset at us. :v:

Are all the commanders trash? Only the starter lady and founder guy seem like they've got skills a person would want. Haven't unlocked any except the Russian guy and he seems absolutely useless.

Really depends on which tank. There are a couple commanders you unlock by playing tanks. Here is a decent site going through them

For MBTs, Juan Carlos seems to be really good, especially for Russian MBTs with their Autoloaders/lack of reload speed upgrade due to that as well as aim time and accuracy.

Ioannis Sanna might actually be fun to use for Artillery and it's copious splash damage. Rashid Al-Atassi seems great for Vics that run mostly ATGMs.

Sabrina i still like to throw in TDs as well as Scouts and overall, Maximilian is nice to run in a fresh tank, just to get some unlocks and crew trained a bit quicker.

The variety of Commanders seems pretty good and hopefully they'll add some more.

Great, so for some reason my computer refuses to save any screenshots I make of this. :(

Just had a great/rage-inducing game with the BMP-1 of all things. Over 4200 damage, 6 kills, 12 spots. Almost 2200xp and over 120k credits. Ace Tanker, Master Gunner, Recon and... Iron Star. Because of course the pubbie brigade had to gently caress it all up and lose anyway. I earned more xp than anyone on the winning team, too.

Edit: And then the next match with the BMP-1, I score 5 kills and almost 3600 damage, for 2kxp, 115k credits and another Ace Tanker, Master gunner and a Gold Star. And it unlocked the BMP-1P, too. :haw:

There are too many stupid people in the world. I'm not saying we should kill them all or anything. Just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.

Well the problem for Cheng Guan is we took CHAI in the first place. Sure they created CHAIA but they did not get their WoT clan name which Goons currently hold the title to. I am sure their new name is not what their first choice was/is and you can probably bet we are on their poo poo list.

It will be fun if we run into them in game and get into a "You stole our clan name!" exchange or people ask WTF is going on. We are CHAI, those other CHAIA are imposters. Also would you like a nice cup of tea?

Tier 5 is the worst spot to be in right now. You have to contend with the huge amount of tier 6 players and now people are starting to unlock the tier 7's, so getting thrown into tier 7 games is becoming increasingly common.

You are almost guaranteed to be bottom gun in most games.

Isn't the PL-01 that was shown at a recent exhibition still basically just a mockup that doesn't do anything?

Protip: do your daily doubles in PVE. You get as much if not more XP from a good PVE game on medium than you do in a good PVP game. Though in exchange, the cash payouts are far shittier.

This isn't true at all, a good pve match might get you 2500 xp on a double and a good pvp match will get you twice that pretty easily.

The MBT-70 is a good tank.

Magni
Apr 29, 2009
It's currently pretty OP, but that's becuase you're pretty much guaranteed to be top-tier with the matches bein dominated by T4s and T5s, none of which have any realistic chance of penetrating the front of the MBT-70. Hell, most of them have a hard time getting through the turret sides. Once you get more higher-tier competition, it's probably going to become quite a bit less spectaular, what with the kinda anemic gun handling and vey long reloads.

Long reloads but lots of damage per shot. Gun isn't bad, but yeah, MBTs do pretty well at top tier thanks to the way they scale penetration by tier. Like all MBTs it will be poo poo as bottom tier in the T6-9 matches when its One Weird Trick doesn't work due to things in T7+ effortlessly penetrating its thickest armor.

Terminator is pro-tier OP. Even at higher tiers the armor is still competitive, as are the amazing burst damage ATGMs and the autocannons. Plus the good camo, good spotting distance, good speed/handling, etc.

Bleh, i'm stuck half way through the T-72 and kind of lost drive. The prospect of 45-65 games to get through it coupled with the fact that it's essentially unlocking the same tank (HOBOY! T-72A!) made me question my life choices. Looking at the prospect of having to do 180+ and then 360+ for the T-90 gives me a sudden urge to start drinking.

Also thought that PvE would be a bit more engaging, having somewhat of a story and all, however after the 30th time destroying Water Towers or taking Oil Refineries, things get a bit predictable.

Think i'll just run around in the Terminator for a few days to relieve the annoyance of grinding for progression.

Realizing that I can leave the match when I die and go play a match in something else has made me a much worse player but done a bit to relieve the grind as I just alternate between the T-64, the Scorpion and the AMX-10.

Not entirely sure what the thought process behind the T90 was.
But I mean it's a Russian tank so probably "Let's give tank two red eyes to make it look evil."
