Yeah, if I had the old one, I'd do the swap deal in a New York minute /edit: Also, I'm like the American people, I'm tired of all the winning, so I'm going to bed.  My biggest complaint is that enemy teams die too fast for me to get past 3x my HP on average. First world problems. Also also, average game length at this tier is way below 5 minutes, amazing.

Trump is going to make tanks great again, you'll see. WGing sold me 20 x5 xp for victory missions for $15, I feel ashamed, but at the same time getting through a tanks grind 5x faster is nice, and the crew gets juiced on xp too. BadLlama fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Oct 3, 2018 |

Been watching skill4ltu play the KanJpz105 this afternoon, he's been one-shot by artillery three times already. You can't play aggressive with that tank at all, anything shooting HE will wreck you instantly.

I still think the worst premium in this game is the us scorpion. Utterly worthless. Has someone made strategy maps with the current maps? I'm a bit out of the loop with all the map changes/current meta and improvise with varied results atm. Found these: https://wotguru.com/map-strategy/ He doesn't have all the maps though and I have no idea if he knows what he's talking about.

At some point, they had a rental event for the Scorpion, where you had to play a handful of games to get some minor rewards. I managed to convince ExiaFS to platoon a few games in the Scorpion by saying, "come on, it'll be fun!" It was not fun. At some point after this, we ended up winning Scorpions in a tournament or something. Exia immediately sold it for credits.

The type-59 buffs have me wetting myself https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/announcements/pmm-vehicles-update-1-2/ Also, is there any point in wasting a 0-Skill BIA guy on a loader slot, you basically have 4 skills to get and then after that it doesn't matter.

Yeah just add 250 horsepower to the engine while increasing the DPM and gun depression, that'll be fine. he only reason to use a 0-skill crew member for a loader is because getting 4 skills takes a while. If your tank can skimp on camo or repair for a bit, just use a regular loader. Never skimp on Safe Stowage though.

Yeah my thoughts exactly, even if repairs is chosen as the 4th skill you'll get that to 50% pretty quickly, I may need to go through my ladies and distribute out some of the loaders to make more crews.

They're mostly clones of the original line of Soviet TDs. The tiers 4-5 in particular are quite comparable between lines from what I recall. The tier 8 has a smaller gun but more armor (which isn't particularly reliable) than the ISU, but after that they have lots of armor and big guns. The Chinese TDs are as playable as any non-turreted TDs; this is probably a line you could start if you've ground out most of everything else you want, because it's not something I'd recommend for a new player.

Tier V is nowt like anything in the Soviet line, it's a dumb loving useless shoe-shaped piece of poo poo with all the armour properties of buttered toast. The Tier IV is effectively the SU-85B again but arguably better. Tier VI and VII can be seen as lighter "alternatives" to the SU-100 and SU-122-44 (both are pretty solid TD's and worth a go). Everything after that is similar enough to the Soviet equivalent (usually by crudely affixing a gently caress-off supergun in a crummy superstructure to a related hull), but not so similar as to just fill space as a lovely, laughably inadequate clone (unlike the Type 58). The Tier VIII premium in particular is a loving hoot, monstrously so when top tier.

In fact, aside from having even more papery armor, the former is better in many ways. Since you mentioned it, the tier 8 premium TD is better than the tech tree one. The WZ-111 does get essentially the JT's gun at tier 8 which is nice, but the WZ-120 still has a decent gun with much better mobility and roughly better armor (at least frontally, where it counts.)

I found all of the tanks leading up to the tier 8 really fun to grind, even the tier V is workable due to the good accuracy, even though it stands out with much less mobility than the other ones. The 76G FT is an absolute keeper, it's a MUCH more mobile SU-85B with absolutely ridiculous camo that you can push up to something like 29% moving, 55% stationary. It also has much better gun traverse limits, and more than TWICE the engine power, since you can cram the removed engine governors on it. Since the tier 8, the fun has really stalled. The gun sacrifices alpha for much better standard and gold pen vs. the post-nerf ISU, but the mobility takes a massive hit by being almost a full 10kmh slower, and with worse camo, that can hurt. It has a lot more options in tier 10 matches with 271 / 340 pen, but relocating is a lot more painful when a flank collapses. The tier 8 premium is a loving wonderworker, though, and if you see it on sale, it's a great crew trainer and fun tank for the rest of the line.

I was gonna say "My winrate is finally normalizing while my average damage keeps rising", but then it went back up to 75% again. This tank is so loving broken.   Also, sealclubbing has been fun not just because you're winning in a broken tank, but the poo poo you see happening is so refreshing and dumb. Half the enemy team going through the middle in Paris? Sure. Entire enemy team going through the middle on Lakeville, but not even through the narrow road along the peak, but the wide open space west of the city so you can pick them off one by one? Absolutely. Half the enemy team slowly slugging through the swampy middle on live oaks while the other half moves around the city in the north? Yup. Full cavalry-charge across the field on Malinovka? I'll take it.

Just had the weirdest game. Unicum GWE100 on the other team was gunning for me hard when only me and our batchat arty were cleaning up the last 6 dudes on his team one by one. He ended up not just landing amazing shots on me, but predicted my moves with a scary amount of foresight. With 30 seconds left, our batchat found the guy, he misses his shot, batchat has two rounds in the drum left, but goes in to facehug, gets 200 ramming damage, rolls low on him and splashes himself down to 30hp with like 4 seconds left, so he couldn't have reloaded in time. But his last shot caused a fire, so he got the top gun after all. Hell of an end to the game.  Serious work put in by both arties
