First off, T7 tanks for Friday the 27th:

http://worldoftanks.com/en/tournaments/1000000177/team/1000043871/

Get in here and fill the team out goons. Don't worry if you're bad. I am bad. We're all bad.

And here is one for Tier 8s on Saturday:

http://worldoftanks.com/en/tournaments/1000000198/team/1000045283/

Password on both: Blaargh

Edit: rejoin if I kicked you off the team. Got full of pubs when I had no password up for a little bit on the first one and threw out everyone I didn't recognize. rip

Edit 2: Tier 9 on Sunday. Get in. http://worldoftanks.com/en/tournaments/1000000199/team/1000045295/

Is there going to be any worthwhile special discount for gold for Memorial Day? I don't see anything on the site, do they normally announce it closer to the day? I got a job and feel like finally spending money on this awful game.

Apparently removing rentals give you the full credit amount of the rental instead of the ammunition costs only. Anyone to confirm? I sold all my rentals just before the patch dropped.

I wonder what would happen if they raised tank health by say, 200 health. For every tank, every tier. Low tiers would be less about being murdered by some dipshit with a derp or being clipped by one of the Brit tanks in 2 seconds. Also tanks would have some more ammo to compensate for increased health pools.

This also wouldn't apply to SPGs, because gently caress them.

Seems like this would be a nice use of their test/sandbox server instead of letting a bunch of people play tier 10s and being teamkilled by russians.

It's kind of hosed up that they put in a whole new benefit/penalty system for platooning with different tiers when it would seem to be much easier to just not allow platooning with different tiers. And then, Coming Soon! no platooning with different tiers!

They just gave us a bonus to XP that's pretty significant at 8-9, which are the biggest grinds by far. Don't complain.

Not while there are still worthwhile pref T8s that can be bought by gold, especially with the increased chance that non-pref T8s will become fodder in T9-10 matches while pref T8s will always be guaranteed mid-tier (or top) in the new MM.

Also, when's the last time someone said "oh boy, I wish I had a good US TD crew trainer!" Also, the T-34-3 got buffed a while back and still has pref MM.

I do think they have the ability to set you to negative credits (as they can certainly set negative gold), so I wouldn't spend them immediately.

The M48 is the most average of the T10 mediums, if you already have a T10 medium, I'd pass.

The E-Hundo is the best choice of those, although you'll really want to get the 150mm ASAP.

Too late! I bought a AMX 50 120, a Panther, and a T29.

So now I need to decide between the M40/43, WZ-132, O-Ni, T-34/100, KV-4, Tiger II, or SP I C.

Keep it. The M46 is good, but the M48 doesn't get enough better compared to how much the other tier 9 mediums improve.

Truth. The T-54 is a great tank, but the tier 10 Russian meds are on a totally different level. The M46 is a good tank, possibly close to the T-54 after they've both been rebalanced, but the M48 is not even close to as good as the tier 10 Russian meds. Going from tier 9 to tier 10 should result in a large increase in the tank lethality, and the M48 just doesn't improve enough upon what the M46 is working with to make it worth upgrading.

plus why wouldn't you just play your T95E6 instead, it got a pretty huge buff



like its previous weaknesses were the laughable gun handling, the stupid frontal ammo rack and the slight sluggishness, and this helps two of the problems. If you want a nice hulldown fighter with a good turret face, the T95E6 is pretty good at that. Plus then you don't need to spew off a good crew on the sixth best tier 10 medium in your garage.

I'm having a hard time with my M46 Patton. Do I need to play it like a T20 instead of a Pershing? I'm hopefully going to be getting my E-50 within a week, that should be awesome.

I'm starting to do surprisingly well with the 50/120. I got my second 4500 damage game in maybe five games last night. I've finally learned that it really isn't a heavy. It's a 13/90 that put on a lot of weight.
