Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Did some more sidescraping in the Type 4. The armor is literally broken.



Two of those shots are from a Skorpion G.
The first shot I ate unplanned, can't say for sure at which angle they came in, second two shots I specifically angled for guaran-loving-teed autobounce angles on the sides.

Nope.

/ninjaedit:
Those impacts don't really do the angle justice.

Glad I'm not the only one who can't sidescrape without people penning me at 80 degree angles, it made the KV-4 significantly shittier that it could have been.

I got luckier this time than last week: 225 gold and 1 day of premium time, and a few consumables. At this rate I'll get about 1000 gold and more barracks than I need. Then again I suppose it's nice to have a place to put spare odd crew configs for tanks. I probably have 6 or 7 russian crews with 2 skills or higher.

Yeah I missed this part.

As a reminder, all "Monster" tanks will have their matchmaking limited to the "Monster Mash" event (Oct 28-31). Once the event ends, their normal matchmaking will resume.

Premium RBWT with the 12.8 that trades raw DPM for increased soft stats and ludicrous mobility (for a TD).

And garbage camo, and being a panther chassis with a big gunshield. Ludicrous mobility also means that it can go fast in a straight line.

It's really just a normal MM Tier 8 TD with a garish paintjob.

Great gun on a fast chassis, it does the role of the jpII but better since it has a turret which allows it peak and boom much better than other T8 TDs. I would argue that it is better than most T8 TDs since it has that turret too.

It is decently fun, very agile and good gun characteristics but it's total lack of armor and fragile ammorack makes it hard for scrubs like myself to carry in. I miss mine personally.

A premium tank has gone on sale in the premium shop on the NA server. They have a little review with the good, the bad, and the ugly of this tank. Guess which tank this is?

quote:

Don't even try shooting heavy armor from the front; instead aim for the tracks and leave your enemies immobile and vulnerable!

The answer: The TOG II*, a tank that sees tier 7s at the most and has 171 AP pen, 239 APCR pen. Yeah, the TOG's problem isn't being unable to pen what it sees.

RandomPauI posted:

They ran out in like an hour - the code was posted on Reddit about when McGavin first posted that it was being used. The topic "Code" on Reddit was 2 minutes old when I edited in the code to my post at 2:09, and was 7% used, and it was fully used at the top of the hour when I felt like using it on an alt account.

This is hilariously incompetent, even for Wargaming of North America. They're doing everything to can to not promote their lovely esport.

Is there any reason to buy a TOGII?

The IS-6 deal seems a little miserly. It's really just 1000 free gold. Is a better deal likely in the nearish future?

Also gently caress Wargaming and their 'Scavenger hunt'. In Australia it would mean I'd have to be up at 4 in the morning and ~still~ get lucky. Why do I play this lovely game? Help me please, someone.

1. Not really. They were fun when they first came out and had a gimmick - now they're just credit/xp pinatas for the other team, especially the arty. They almost function as a 'spoiler' tank, because you don't have the ability to flex at all, and your length and height makes it hard to side scrape or cover your frontal weakspots.

2. They might have a decent special for Veteran's/Armistice Day - other than that, they always have a big event for Christmas where T8 premiums are usually discounted 15%.

And ideally, you play this game because it's fun to log in and play a few games before you can get upset. The problem is...grinding. That's why AW's new 'Global Operations' mode has people semi-interested, because the whole point of it is 'log in, shoot tanks, respawn until your side runs out of tickets.' WoT doesn't have that.

I don't remember saying that but thanks for reminding me of better times. The leFH is probably the best arti to carry in, since if poo poo goes wrong 390m view range and binocs can help change things around.
