Yeah, and there's a guide here. It's actually pretty easy to get to Festive Level 10 just by playing normally; I think I played a couple dozen battles a day for 2-4 days or whatever it's been, and in probably <100 battles I've got just about enough to earn all the rewards. You get a few level 5 ornaments from the loot boxes (that you receive from doing missions in battles) but after breaking down stuff you don't need you have plenty of materials to craft what you do need. It's amassing a whole set that takes effort. Oh and also, loving Wargaming still figured out how to screw up their Holiday Ops thing, or at least un-optimize it: the crate opening needs to be faster/automated (the animation takes WAY too loving long) and crushing things into shards also needs a more efficient method (because clickclickclickclicking on EVERY single piece is a pain in the rear end.) serious gaylord posted:The mauerbrecher can get penned in the gun mantlett by almost all same tier vehiclesit faces if they use the 2 key. Against tier 9 and tens its literally pointless. Tahirovic posted:I really don't get how they do this, they manage to have super retard mode tanks like a Defender but then release something that would be bad at tier7. Hellsau posted:What a bizarre premium. It's straight up just the VK 100.01, except slower and its weakspots are actually weakspots unlike on the VK 100.01 "But comrades, you complained about OP premium tanks like the Defender so we added the Mauerbrecher and yet you still complain?!?" Also I think it weighs an extra 48t because that's how much the credit printing machine weighs.  Duzzy Funlop posted:It's a Mauerbrecher It's pronounced "grill-ah."  Duzzy Funlop posted:The turret cheeks are also hilarious. The non-premium VK at least has some spaced armor or something there, the Mauerbrecher just has a bunch of big ol' cheeks that look difficult to pen because they're rounded, but they're comically easy to pen. The most ridiculous thing about it is that machine gun weak spot because as previously discussed, they specifically made a point to remove all of those similar weak spots (from other German tanks.)

Yeah looking at the model that's alot of very obvious weakspots and anything same tier just has to push 2 and the whole turret face is then a weakspot. Also a top speed of 20? ouch. These things are going to be damage pinatas.

It feels like they brought the the old tank design team from ~3+ years ago back to make the Mauerbrecher. A big slow shitbox that's "armoured" in a way which is loving useless when they have been removing weakspots from everything recently and even finally buffed the speed on the T28/95 is such a strange throwback. It's just a worse VK1001, why would anyone buy it? I suppose if someone has no T8 prems yet and really likes German superheavies it might be worth having, but that's got to be a limited market. I mean it's nice it doesn't continue the OP oneupmanship of recent premiums, but it's too far in the other direction. It might have been interesting if they gave it more HP to make up for the armour (1.9-2k?), although that would just make it more of a pinata for higher tiers, and perhaps the 150mm gun instead of the 128 so it at least feels unique. As it is even limited MM wouldn't make it worth getting.

Because it makes credits like a premium, earns increased amounts of XP making it a good crew trainer, and can accept crews from all the nation's same-type vehicles. You know...just like premiums years ago, before the introduction of stupidly-overpowered ones. Speaking of premiums, I've never had so much fun in a vehicle while performing so shittily.  1400 average damage is by far not good enough for the vehicle, I get that, and I get that it's not a good sample size - especially with an untrained crew -, but goddamn...42% winrate.  Even worse with the IS-3. Roundabout 1600 average damage still not good enough for that tank, and I still haven't unlocked all modules, but christ, 38%

Did we just get a free holiday tank that can actually be worthwhile? I mean...is it slow or something? Or just ridiculously huge for a tier 3? It's not on the Wiki yet so I've only seen it in my garage, and I'm far too apathetic to actually press the battle button.

Duzzy Funlop posted:You know...just like premiums years ago, before the introduction of stupidly-overpowered ones. Well sadly it doesn't come with a time machine so "hey this is how premiums should've been 3 years ago" kinda doesn't cut it anymore as a design principle. Everyone is shooting gold so armor is worth less and less unless it's brokenly good, and a huge insanely slow moving tank with weak spots the size of Texas is just a big loving easy target. E: I mean I get what you mean: this is how Premiums SHOULD'VE been all along, and I agree with you! Remixes of their normal versions that serve as credit printers and crew trainers, but sadly that World of Tanks is long dead and gone, killed by a few years of increasingly OP premiums and really bad design decisions like "let's let everyone shoot gold like it's going out of style, oh and let's also make them have to do it". Unless they start to roll back those bad decisions (and they won't), the Mauerbrecher will just be a giant piece of poo poo.

Wait - I'm not seeing my free tank/the box to get the free tank. Do I actually have to earn a damned box to get it?  EDIT: Never mind, I found the 'present' in the garage you have to click. At least they give you a 100% crew for it - that's nice for new players. Also, serious business question - are the discounts on tiered tanks usable in perpetuity or do they have to be used during this gimmick? And is the BC 12t worth keeping, or is it better to sell it once the discounts are over for an extra million-plus? And I'm guessing even though it won't net me a lot, the ELC isn't worth keeping anymore? BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Dec 26, 2017 |

I know what you mean; I've got multiple "bad" vehicles that have inexplicably decent stats, and vice-versa.

Didn't they also enlarge the model of the ELC considerably, like they did with the FV304? I recall QB saying something about it in a video to that effect. Also, re: non-premium camo: I don't even see any customization options for credits, I only see the preset camo styles for 75,000. All the individual customization options are 50 gold apiece, running you 550 gold for a full set of all season camo or something.

I think that you need to ~assign~ the bonus by March 18, i.e. choose which tanks get discounts, but that doesn't mean you need to buy the tank. I still have discounts on my unbought Swedish TDs from the launch event, for example.

Remember, you only need camo on the hull for the bonus, turret and gun camo is cosmetic only - although it's fair if you just want it to match. Of course, the best use of the system is to paint all the French tanks yellow to celebrate their cowardliness:  White/Surrender would also be acceptable.
