I think it's downright shameful how this thread has glossed over the fact that the Churchill 3 got an official HD model in a recent patch and it looks SWEET AS gently caress.

Same goes for the Matilda Black Prince. Okay so it's been a powercrept piece of poo poo that can't do anything meaningful in 90% of battles for a while now but that doesn't excuse the fact that it should have been HD since whenever the gently caress; the Matilda and Cromwell have both been HD for what now seems like an eternity, and it was literally a small job of slapping the Cromwell turret on the Matilda hull. Oh of course they had to """"""improve"""""" the matchmaker some more and invent some drunk lunchtime arse-wipe schematic of a premium tank to further balance the game. Far more important.

space pope posted:What's the best of the tier 8 premium mediums? If it's credits you want, then the M4A1 Ravioli is up there, since it's cheap and can (potentially) slap the absolute poo poo out of things per shot for low low shell cost. The shell velocity is also like loving lightning (APCR standard) which makes long shots less lovely. I'm partial to the Panther 88 though, because it just drills through targets with that RoF and has several layers of industrial cardboard for armour rather than the paper plates of the M4A1. You can also mercilessly ram lower tiers with it. Disclaimer: Tier VIII premiums are not worth buying right now if you want to grind credits, because of this poo poo-tastic matchmaker shoving you into Tier X all day every day forcing you to lob premium shells at everything you see.

But yeah buying any tank except the Skorpion/Defender is probably a waste of money right now. Not to mention how hosed up their deals are, Tiger 131 comes with BiA crew, AC 4 with 100% crew, FV201 (A45) without crew? What the gently caress are WG smoking.

My T34 makes good money. Plus, whatever else you might say about that thing, it's one of the best tier 8 premiums out there for dealing with tier 9 and 10 games. e: in that it can actually damage higher tier tanks without too much trouble, it'll die pretty quick if you overextend at any tier.

Der Shovel posted:Recently the EU servers have been making me want to kill my team and then myself, because half (on a lucky day) of my team will be double digit efficiency rating bots, the other half will be Russian and Polish people team killing each other. My winrate has dropped significantly and it seems that almost every match is a complete loving blowout with one side (the one with actually decent players) winning by 12 or 13 kills and it's just luck which side you'll end up on. I'm loving the thought of the Poles and the Russkis TKing each other every battle.  And yes, the MM seems to take very little into consideration when it assembles battles, other than making sure platoons get bottom-tiered all the time. It most certainly doesn't care about stats; I use the WN8-counting mod and while often there are some quite balanced matchups (teams within a few % of each other) I've been in battles where one team (usually the enemy) has up to double the combined WN8 of the other.  As far as that bot goes, I'm sure I ran into it a few weeks ago; I shared the story of me in my newly-rebought T1HT getting shot square in the rear end by a "friendly" KV-85 (or similar) and set on fire, and it was obviously a bot based on stats and behavior.

Thanks, I was asking because I have a friend who insists on only playing low tier and I want to him to have a premium so we can platoon at higher tiers. I think i might just send him some gold and let him pick.

loving about in Tier VI skirmishes, joined a random detachment as a mercenary/legionnaire/bored fucker waiting for his usual 'toonmates to sign in. Hit "Ready!" and go for a piss while the rest all pick their tonks and the game sets up a battle. Get back in time to see this loving idiot has picked the Hummel just as battle begins. Then I see the rest of the team post-battle (which was a complete loving trainwreck where I somehow finish top with a paltry 705dmg) and everyone in the 'main' clan for the detachment (four of 'em) bought Tier VI premiums without getting to the related tier via grinding (closest was some guy with a handful of fights in a T-34). No wonder they were all sitting side-on to the enemy team and getting stuffed like loving turkeys against Cromwells. space pope posted:Thanks, I was asking because I have a friend who insists on only playing low tier and I want to him to have a premium so we can platoon at higher tiers. I think i might just send him some gold and let him pick. What. I might be jumping the gun here and by all means correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen hundreds of retards on EU playing higher-tier premiums without even getting to Tier V in any tree (see yesterday's skirmish experience above), so don't do this if he's in the same boat as them; if he only has lower tiers available and hasn't got close to even seeing Tier VIII tonks in a battle let alone drive one, then this is a terrible awful horrible poo poo idea and it's going to backfire spectacularly when all those Tier X shitfests you get thrown into give him the life expectancy of a sickly mayfly. It won't be fun for either of you. Don't be that guy. But then if he's well away with the grind and doesn't play higher tiers because it costs too much and isn't fun when you invariably get shat on by the MM then whatever, at least you'll be getting credits for the pain.

Premium tank credit discussion, you want a tank that has high penetration, low shell cost and preferred match making. One tank fits all of those criteria and it is the FCM 50T. That said I do most of my credit grinding in the AMX m49L and the Lorraine but I am looking forward to the buffed to hell type59 as well as the 59-patton. 59 patton might end up generating a lot of money with the increase in pen and the huge view range it gets. The super-pershing is actually pretty good now too, if you can stand going so slow. BadLlama fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Everything pens it these days. please add me in game same name. I just finished the Tiger II grind and it's occasionally ok, usually frustrating. You can still beat the poo poo out of lower tiers but anything T8+ is going to give you trouble. The top gun is absolutely magical but being able to use it is the hard part. Hide behind bigger boys.

But I have to say, ramming motherfuckers in my O-I Exp is hilarious. I just straight up ran over an Alecto and a Stug in my last game. I loving HATE artillery in this thing though. I'm so slow and relatively poorly armored that any braindead arty jock can drop 250-300 HP hits on me constantly.

I know the Tortoise can be funny in the right situation but I've clowned on so many of them over so many more games I know how bad it will be trying to get enough xp for it.
