I needed some gold so I bought the E 25 pack. I played it once and felt so dirty that I think it was actually a one game rental. I took down an IS 3 one on one with out losing a single HP. I'm a shitter tier player. Should just sell a left click explode other tank machine.

more than likely you'd be paid to not play the game, in order to not shame the pubbies too much

I mean their testers sure don't seem to know what the gently caress they're doing, if the Czech autoloaders still haven't been nerfed.

Just had a game with a full platoon of E-25's on El Halluf. They literally decimated the game and I think only one of them was spotted the entire game.

Eh, I don't know - a full platoon doing 1.5 tanks HP of damage/killing 1-2 tanks doesn't sound that special really.

I am pretty sure my T26E5 is loving cursed. Fully aimed shots, 1/2 of them go into the dirt or rock or hit tracks for no damage. Arty firing in the same grid as me, full pen into my deck. Oh and T8 match only every 5 games.

Touche.

Edit: I must say it is interesting seeing all these reds with E25s and Skorpions running around. I dare say. they are worse than if they just played a normal tank with them.

Edit 2: Took the T34 out for a spin since the patch. DPM is still abysmal, but the aiming improvements make me go from buy a different premium to yeah it is not a bad tank.

I had an arty game today where every fully aimed shot missed by a cm more than the splash damage. Had 2 hits cause nothing but a damaged, not destroyed track and then 3 kills where they weren't spotted anymore and I fired in hope of where they looked like they were going. One of those games.

And on the E25 issue, they seem to have calmed down again. Still a lot more common than they were but the platoons of them running riot have vanished.

big boom! looks like a T49 with better accuracy. non-steel armor now ok, apparently.


T-100! stats
tough! flat! 120 mm hull, 180 mm turret. standard russian 100 mm gun


Rheinmetall LT! stats
fast! 27 hp/t with a 105 mm gun


WZ-132-1! stats
it's a WZ-132 with 390 alpha... and 200 turret armor?

and finally the AMX 13 105! stats

390 damage autoloader with three shells per magazine. 40 sec reload so sustained DPM is utter garbage (1500). also pretty drat slow at only 15 hp/t.

That T-100 looks hilarious. Although if they were working on making armor matter at some point in the future, giving light tanks the same guns as mediums is probably the wrong way to go about it.

the guns are a fair bit lower in pen, they're missing about 30 silver pen and 50 gold pen compared to the mediums (eg T-62A at 264/330)

The general consensus seems to be 263 is better than 268, and 704 is the most enjoyable one.

The SU-152 is great, the ISU-152 is great, the 704 is great, the 268 is trash.

The SU-100M1 is poor, the SU-101 is poor, the SU-122-54 is sexy (and allegedly decent) and the 263 is great.

So for the Christmas tree decorating poo poo, only poopsockers are going to get the discount on the tier 10.

You need 64 points for the tier 9 discount, which is doable, but you need loving 80 for the tier 10. This means that you have to get both the tree and the tank covered in sweet purps. If you only had red ornaments this would require a total of 10,000 ornaments, provided that you got all of the crafting recipes loving perfect. However, since not even the Russians know the recipes to get them, good loving luck.

By comparison, in terms of red ornaments, the tier 9 discount only requires 2,000.

Naw it's easier than that, since the weekly missions let you get six level 4 boxes per week, which themselves can contain level 5 decorations but even if you just get a bunch of level four ones you can convert those into plenty of level 5s. Plus getting the level three decorations (which you get a lot of) basically count as 25 tier 1 decorations, and the level four decorations count as 125 level 1 decorations, so even if you're going to break it down into needing 10000 ornaments, this is substantially easier than almost any marathon they've ever done.

also already in the shop they have "available 12/30 buy a particular level 5 decoration" if you want to throw them some amount of money but it's probably gonna be something stupid like $7 and a meaningless amount of gold or something, or you could be Exia and pay $60 for all the level 5 decorations and 12500 gold and then luck into getting the AMX M4 49 instead of some dumb premium time or gold.

Is the launcher not even starting? Or it is, but then the game doesn't load? I've only used the Win10 & Android Blitz app, but if the issue you're having is the latter situation then it could be that the game is actually down, as in an upgrade situation.

The SU-122-54 is only OK, and I'm saying this as someone who enjoyed the 101 (pre-buff, at that.) The 122-54 has a good gun and mobility, but it's kind of "meh" as a TD where it doesn't have great depression, traverse, or armor, and doesn't even get respectable alpha. It's just a T-54 with the M62 and minus a turret.

I know encounter is trash, it's only on as I am stuck on the HT mission to cap/decap + 3k damage and I figured it might be more likely there.

I find the 122-54 very awkward to sure. Without much depression or traverse you have to move a lot and I seem to be spotted all the time.

Now on the other hand, the SU-122-44 is quite ridiculously broken, especially when you are top tier. E25 levels of broken.
