Was kinda hoping for a Lorraine 40 t, but I guess the 59 is fun to have too.  edit: Just realized I also have the 121B. 2 Chinese premium mediums and no interest in playing that tech tree.

Hope no one was waiting for doubloon/gold equivalent from the WG holiday codes you'll be getting by email. All it gives in WoT is the free garage slot. No gold. In WoWs, if you already have the Albany, all you get is the port slot and a zero-point captain to take up a space in your reserve.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Well, one thing I *can* do is get the equipment off both of them. Is the 13 90 still worth keeping? The 1390 is better now; it lost two rounds from the magazine but has a much shorter magazine reload, so the net result is that it's more flexible. As Diehlan mentioned however, the tier 9 BC is the better of the two. BIG HEADLINE posted:Also, I've found the best use for the female crewmembers - finally getting a zero-skill sixth-sense commander for nations I've not played yet. This is correct; since they turned SoS into BiA and you don't need to keep them together, you can mix and match but gaining a Commander with instant SS is the most valuable route. Then again, I ended up starting brand-new lines with all-female crews anyway because I had more of them than needed for anything else. Duzzy Funlop posted: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. This is what I was getting at; I'm OK with them adding customization options, but now it's more complicated to just add camo. I just want to pick a tank, add camo for all seasons to get the bonus, and be done with it, and I haven't been bothered enough to figure out how the new system works. serious gaylord posted:I have not had anyone complain about my purple Type 59 yet so clearly the new system is not working as intended.

Secret Confessions of a Stat Badder - Day the Dozenth Looks like ~40% is the magic number. I'm trying for less but 3/5/8 mm means unless I'm in the top three there's usually gently caress all I can do either way.  But seriously:  How can players be so very very very bad? I'm driving the bog stock Pz I with a lovely crew and trying to lose. They'd probably do better if they just went AFK. I'm starting to think there is ~ a zero chance of me being banned for how I'm playing and have set beating the first set of missions for the Stug IV as a goal. Obviously playing to win to achieve any of the missions is right out but it will occasionally give me an excuse to sabotage my team. Ain't that crackingly good game design from Wargaming! Festive level VIII and rising!

I just realized I have 63 out of 75 Stug IV campaign missions done with honors, and the remaining ones I haven't finished with honors are a few easy HT ones, and all remaining ones for light tanks, equally easy. That seems like a chill goal for the next day or two: Grab that fancy badge thingy while making stupid amount of credits/xp.

I am still stuck on that drat HT mission where I need to bounce 3x the tanks hp. So loving annoying to pull off with all the gold ammo flying around. Also was 230 damage/spotting short of LT-15, because a T49 shot to the rear of a loving Foch only did 160 damage. Good times with those missions, not frustrating at all.

Yeah, I can't imagine going for full honors completion in anything outside of the StugIV missions. Hell, there are even a few annoying ones in there, but nothing like the other campaign mission sets. I genuinely want to know whether someone even has that campaign ribbon badge thing that shows full honors completion on every single campaign set. Unrelated, but the WoT player base on EU is still trash. This gentleman reacted especially enthusiastic to my Israeli flag and proceeded to tell his teammates that arab monkeys are trying to breed out the good white folk, that jews are controlling me, and so on.

I have Stug IV with all honors (it wasn't that hard and the extra credits were nice) but I don't think I'll be carrying that through to the others. Another x5 day. Weird that there has been no announcement about these whatsoever. I'm trying to figure out what will actually happen with the Soviet Medium tanks with 9.22 and whether I should focus on grinding the hell out of the Obj 416 but even WG won't commit to what the changes are. I think unlocking the T-54 gets priority, but maybe I need to get the Obj 430 otherwise I'll still have to go through the T-34-85 line to get to that other new T10? Weird poo poo. Saw this floating around:

I get 2.5k in the M12, scoring all sorts of trickshots on would-be campers, but the team gets pasted anyway and it's a loss. Immediately followed by a paltry 190 damage win where all I do is momentarily confuse a T71 CMCD and send him the wrong way before he comes back forcing me to run away into a KV-3, all because the loving retards on my team leave the middle bridge of Tundra wide open for the 47%'er oval office to gallop on in like he owns the place.

Secret Confessions of A Stat Badder - Day thirteen What can I say? I suck at sucking at tanks?  http://www.noobmeter.com/player/na/You_R_Pwned/1028781412/  I think I just got unlucky with a bunch of unavoidable carries but I will fess up to having gone too hard at exp/point farming after I was sure it was a loss, and then winning. But only a couple of times. Trying to complete missions while actively trying to lose is pretty challenging especially ones that require a bunch of damage or spotting. More stupidly the first Arty mission is to stun tanks. My tier three arty can't stun anything, but is allowed to sign on for the mission  GG Wargaming you utterly loving incompetent pack of clown car designers.

They reflect your PC performance adequately, and let you compare it to other scores. 10 000+ points is an excellent score, meaning that World of Tanks with Core will run extremely smoothly on your PC, precluding any FPS drops. A score of 8001+ (“gold”) is an excellent one. Anything between 3001 and 8000 (“silver”) is good, and a score below 3000 (“bronze”) is passable.

I got 1700 points while watching the Wire on my secondary, and I guess that performance will be fine for the new engine. On a 1060 6GB over here, didn't feel like shelling out an extra 110 Euros for a 1070. I'll upgrade to whatever is the new 1060 standard next Christmas, I guess. Also, new graphics look real purdy-like.

I have nine female crew members to assign, three more coming in from the T28HTC missions, and here's my current plan: Buy a KV-2 - Not sure why I've been putting it off for so long, not gonna put any female crew in it because six seems a little steep Buy a WT auf PzIV - I have it unlocked and can apply one of my Christmas discounts to it; also not going to put female crew members in it, because I have four loving German premium TDs to check off daily doubles for the same crew Start up the Czech tree, buy a Skoda T 40 as a crew trainer, put five female crew in, grind to at least the Skoda T50 for now, because I dig autoloaders, and with the crew setup, I'm okay with one girl idling in the T40 after I unlock tier 9 and go to a 4-crew setup And one of the two: Start up the Swedish medium tree, buy the tier 6 premium Stridsvagn with the autoloader, dump the other three female crew into it, and get a fourth for the grind up to the Leo Start up the French Heavy tree, aiming for the AMX 50 120 or so; dump five female crew to sit in the M4 45 (and possibly the FCM 50t as a crew trainer), then continue on with 4 crew members up the autoloader line Since I've pretty much settled on the first two Two questions: a) Does that seem sortakinda okay, and how hard should I choose the French over the Swedish tree, if at all? I kinda like the prospect of an autoloading tier 6 crew trainer more than the FCM 50t, but I understand the Emil I should be quite a grind b) Is the Skoda T40 even worth the gold? I mean it's cheap, but it really doesn't look good at all; the primary reason here would really be crew trainer for me
