They added a bunch of skills for each crew member back in 2012 or something like that. Some of them are pointless to train, but sadly there's nothing else to train half of the time.

Oh, I know. I just thought that they would still cap the number of skills a crew had at 3. My T59 crew is at about 2.5 right now.

NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.

Someone finally transcribed the changes? Thank you. Fire mission and heavy base cap/reset mission are trivial now. Still probably going to need to not-rig a bombardier. Managed to deal 160 and 90 damage to two grouped up SPGs with my CGC last night, and I've RNGed at least 5 other bombardier opportunities with full aim since I got the CGC. Gotta finish: 3x my HP blocked for HTs, 5x my HP damage // 4k damage+3 heavy kills TD missions, and pray for some decent Prok/Malinovka games in a LT.

They changed "destroy 2 SPGs spotted by you" to "destroy 3 SPGs". Funny joke Wargaming.

It's a fun little tank, but I don't know if I could play 53 thousand games of WoT let alone in just that little tank. If anyone wants to watch me get top gun in it earlier today though, while driving into rocks, making SWEET jumps, and driving off of a cliff to lose us the game, I put it on YouTube! I sped up the more boring parts, it was a long match.

So I've been hearing about this tourney gold. My impulse-purchased year of premium is almost spent, and my gold hoard is drained to the double digits. I'm just shy of 52% winrate and I know how to follow simple instructions, most of the time. If that's good enough, then where should I be hanging around to get in on some of these teams? My work schedule may make a few impossible, but if you've been having trouble filling slots I promise that I'll be driven by greed enough to reliably show up.

I've always had a couple of people message me when I request looking for a team in the LFG thread for skirmishes. I have never won any further than quarter finals with those teams, I also am in PIR8 a reddit tourny clan and I've won a couple of tournaments with them.

I have a good pool of tanks across the tiers and good crews to put into them.

I'm running GLD, Rammer and binocs. The thing has super good camo anyway, so I find a camo trained crew is enough. The binocs are a bit of a leftover from the time before the TD view range nerf, when the thing also had one of the best view ranges for its tier. But they still help outspot some blind fools since the camo is so good.

It really is a fantastic TD, one of my favourite vehicles in the game.

I sold mine after the nerf. It's still very strong but before it could really punch above its weight class without relying on teammates and it's hard to accept it as it is now.

Make sure to bring some HE because there are some t4 TDs you can full pen reliably that die to a single HE shell, including itself. Also works wonders on Hellcats because if they're even slightly damaged you can two shot them reliably. I remember one unlucky Hellcat that rolled low on my 85B and got killed by two above average HE shells.

Now that's a relic. Back when they redid how the stats displayed so they'd be accurate for a 100% crew, part of what they did was actually change every primary crew skill-based stat by * or / 0,875.

So the gun had 0,46 acc, divided by 0,875 to keep performance the same with the new system, and then they never went back and rounded it out because hey, don't touch premium tank performance unless you have to. And this was back in like 2012, so it's been a while since someone last changed the tank.
