Which stuff from Premium Shop do I spend my Twitch Prime -15% coupon on? There are restrictions though (no gold/special/limited stuff). edit Also, what skills do I pick for medium tanks (after getting Sixth Sense, Snap Shot and Smooth Ride)? Camouflage for low profile and Repair for high profile? Aesis fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Oct 26, 2018 |

Aesis posted:Which stuff from Premium Shop do I spend my Twitch Prime -15% coupon on? There are restrictions though (no gold/special/limited stuff). It really depends on the tier and the tank. Some tanks have a good camo base rating and somewhat weak armor / low hp to go along with it, so training camo first is essential to the playstyle before retraining to sixth sense on the commander, snap shot on the gunner, and usually repair on the rest. At higher tiers, you can usually expect high view-ranges on your enemy, especially beyond-max-view range on scouts, so even a good camo rating will probably negated and getting caught on an 8 second repair will spell death for you, so early repair skills are more important. There are obviously exceptions to every rule, like the Object 416, which has stupid camo and will benefit from camo much more than, say, a T69, Pershing, T-34-2, or Panther II at the same tier that absolutely need full repair crews.

Duzzy Funlop posted:Yeah, the change is loving annoying. I knew one of the two used to be a pubbie trap, and even asked in here to make sure I had the right gun, and now the one I have has 0.06 worse accuracy (almost .4 on a loving medium), half a second longer aimtime, still the same worse AP pen (that I was okay with), at only 200 extra dpm. It's 350dpm (more with BIA and food) and an extra degree of gun depression. It depends on playstyle but I prefer getting in people's faces with my T-54 and prefer this one. The nice thing is there's really no wrong answer. Barry fucked around with this message at 13:50 on Oct 26, 2018 |

The Chrysler K is absolutely, ludicrously insane against other tier 8s, and all of its weaknesses are substantially more glaring against tier 9s and 10s. Don't give Wargaming money.

"Can this tank benefit my crew training up any branch of the national tree?" If the answer is "Yes", then that's usually the only time I buy a *NEW LOL* premium. Even then I've found myself looking at drunken purchases for platooning poo poo after waking up. But really, if I have a trainer for a line, I don't bother, unless it's something I like or just something broken. quote:unless it's something I like.

McGavin posted:The AMX 65 t is so bad at doing damage that I had to do 3.8k spotting to Ace it. It really is. Wargaming needs to fix the atrocious gun handling on this and a lot of other tanks (that they can't figure out how to balance their own game any other way is another story.) It's like they forgot the AMX65 isn't an autoloader but left it with terrible gun handling, on a vehicle that really doesn't have anything going for it. I could've dealt with the lack of armor, mobility, etc., if it could actually fire effectively.

There are worse vehicles more worth your limited free XP for skipping. The AMX65 just has the abysmal gun handling shared by the majority of the French vehicles, going down to say the ARL44 and then going into the autoloaders (where questionable handling can arguably be a balancing tactic.) They tend to have high pen, sure, but making an entire line frustrating to play is no way to make people want to grind up the line (especially when the top tiers are dubious as well.) Unrelated, on the Polish tree the 45TP (tier 7 HT) was loving fantastic. It's basically what the IS should be. I probably didn't need to skip the tier 6 though.

Also Twitch Prime coupon is useless. You can't apply it to any items that are special, package or discounted. I can buy a non-discounted single premium time, but 15% just doesn't do, and there aren't any non-discounted tanks I want to buy (cuz they all suck).

So while the 15% off Twitch coupon is good for 130 days, it can't be used on gold, specials, and ~limited offers~. Also, leave it to Wargaming to create a *temporary* US East server that I have a 4-6ms ping to. I do wonder if I should buy a Pudel with the 16.2k gold I'm sitting on while it's on sale for 30% off in-game. Opinions? I don't have any Polish tanks other than the starter, and all of you say the Polish high tiers are good. Of course, all the Polish high-tiers are *heavies*, so the Pudel's kind of worthless unless you stop at T6. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Oct 28, 2018 |

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:You could do a lot worse, but ultimately it's down to what you want to use it for. The layout (full 5-man) doesn't match any of the Polish tanks at all (4-man) so you end up with this dedicated Operator sitting there not allowing your Commander to utilise Situational Awareness. I don't use mine for crew training, I use it because I like the Panther/30.02M enough to want a premium version at Tier VI, so I can gently caress around getting easy credits without the 3/5/7 matchmaker dangling its balls in my loving face every time I take a Tier VIII premium out. Yeah, I talked myself out of it. A discount on a premium tank that doesn't make a good trainer is just wasted gold. The only time the Pudel probably made any sense was when it was the only Polish tank, and served as a crew trainer for now lopsidedly-manned Polish heavies.

I might have to upload the replay for this one, because I was laughing so hard at the end at missing absolutely guaranteed shots, and then ended up winning because the enemy S1 was kinda stuck in the maze of dead tanks on cap, while I could still navigate my way through like a drunk. Got bullied by an Even 90 in the last 20 seconds because I went for a ram that didn't kill him, and genuinely couldn't comprehend how my idiocy still ended up pulling out a win. /edit: Their Even 90 got top damage with almost 4k  /edit2: Apparently, I stood my ground 1v3 against the three top-damage-players left on their team

I forgot that I own a 13-57 and I'm not sure if there's a more OP tank in this game cause I got a 70% w/r in it after lots of battles each more hilarious than the last it seems, I murdered a pair of platooned 45% Cromwell B's all by myself somehow since they could only land a single shot between them while I ran about in that castle on Abbey, top tier best tier. also a lot of maps seem changed a lot and the new maps don't seem good or maybe I don't know the secret places yet?
