How can one encourage teammates to victory without FF? Also, I dropped $200 for 150 boxes and got the Defender like 3 teams, Skorpion G twice, and a bunch of tier 5 premiums all the time. I already have the IS3-A but I didn't get it a single time so the % drop chance on it might be pretty low? Ughghhg I missed the polish T8 being on sale again.

I watched our friendly FV-183 turn around and hesh our 1390 who was camping on the little hill thing on the south on Lakeville yesterday and it was truly beautiful. Similarly I got shot up the rear end by a friendly JgPzr E100 who didn't understand the spotting mechanic and thought I was camping on Murovanka when I was actually trying to spot the hill which our team had lost decisively for the 5 TD's who'd yet to move from spawn. So win some lose some.

Don't waste a bunch of time looking up weakspots. If you just shoot at the lower front plate and cupolas its going to be a weak spot on most tanks. Obviously if you can shoot the sides or rear flat on that's better. On Japanese tanks aim for mini turrets on the tier 7 and 8. The german tanks and type 4 and type 5 can be shot through the turret cheeks with gold ammo. In the game settings set your aim piper to the one that changes color based on your chance to penetrate the armor you're aiming at. It accounts for the angle and is pretty reliable. As for where to go, that's the skill part of the game. You can either follow your team, or look up a map guide to learn where you're 'suppose' to go. Or watch some good players and try to figure out what they are doing. The more you study how to move and why to move and where the better you will get.

When did they change the aim thing to account for armor angle? Out of habit from when the game was released I never pay attention to it.

How the gently caress do you get to tier 10 in a tank destroyer without understanding the existence of the spotting mechanic? Like, not even all the intricacies, just the concept that tanks spot for other tanks?

It's worthless for arty missions and I don't care at all about training French arty crew. Russian bias is hilarious. Unlocked the Obj 430 and it's basically already elite, minus like another engine with 40hp and tracks. First game was some 5k combined on Cliff. Gun is a little derpy but that can be forgiven seeing as how it's basically a T10 tank at T9. Never change WG

So going by that video, the wheeled tanks can't be 'tracked' even with a pretty significant drop, take no damage from said drops, and still are able to maintain 30kph with a damaged wheel, which gets repaired *while the tank is on the move*. And, of course, since that's going to be a T8 premium, even if they change the other wheeled tanks, if that one goes live with all of these  things, they'll remain on the tank forever, or WG will have to refund people.

Uh, so I have played a whole bunch of matches in the current christmas mode and had my sick excel for crushing and rerolling decorations for max holiday bonuses (from last year) all set up, and finally pulled the trigger on the 75 box package. I didn't give a poo poo about the IS-3A, since my only goal was the same decent gold-equivalent value from last year that lasted me through half the year. Since I didn't care about the Type 59 last year (to be fair, I would have wanted to have had a Type 59 when it was first sold, just so I could have a sick five-skill Chinese medium crew, but with power creep and all, I didn't give a poo poo), I was pretty much in the same situation as I was in 12 months ago. So I was planning on dumping a screenshot of my dumb excel in here once I was done with my 75 boxes just to show whether the gold value was still the same and the boxes are still worth it, or whether Wargaming decided to gently caress with what worked fine last year. I work for one of the largest automobile manufacturers on the planet, so obviously, my Excel skills are top loving notch:   Let's get this poo poo done! On to the first box:     Are you loving kidding me? /edit: Alright, whatever, gonna keep popping boxes and updating this dumb post with the hauls I deem sortakinda worthwhile. 7 days of premium on the third box.  /edit: Another 7 days of premium in the eighth box. I watched a couple of community contributors opening their 200 boxes, and was kinda assuming their probabilities may have been augmented to make this dumb event seem more lucrative than it is, but this is looking good already  /edit: Grille 15 skin on box 10, looks kinda weird, but I'm on 90k XP in the WT auf PzIV, so I#ll take it.  I'm also no longer allowed to legally operate heavy machinery or motor vehicles, so I'll probably just leave y'all with summaries from my haul so as to not give this post a 56k warning /edit: 20 boxes in, this seems much more like what I was expecting to hit. Minimum gold-value and some premium days. To be fair, I was expecting a ton of the lower-tier reward premiums, or their equivalent value  /edit: lol, Defender, dope  /edit: Ah, gently caress, I was hoping to get the gold-payout since I had it already, but I forgot the same thing might happen like last year, where I already had a T26E5, but got another Patriot  /edit: Got the dope IS-7 skin, don't have the IS-7. Cool, I guess? /edit: Got my first low-tier, a Turan PT, so 1700 gold equivalent. /edit: LeFh and some dope T57 camo /edit:; 30 boxes opened, and 12 k straight gold and like 42 days of premium. I'm either lucky, or Wargaming adjusted the drops a bit upward this year /edit: M4 Improved. This tank was poo poo iirc? /edit: Two M4s in a row, I'll take that gold, yes I will  /edit: Batchat 25t camo, yet another skin for a tank I don't have that looks kinda cool-ish /edit: Got the Simon Claws, 0-skill BIA dude, I guess? /edit: Some more premium time and a KV-220 that I didn't have. /edit: Third M4 improved and second KV-220 /edit: two more KV-220s (so 3,000 gold) and ten boxes to go /edit: Another M4 Improved and Turan PT (so 3450 gold), 4 boxes to go /edit: RIP boxes  So it looks like 4.5 million credits, 26.780 straight-gold, 11.650 extra gold for tanks I already had, an M4 Improved, Turan PT, KV-220, IS-3A and three cool skins (two of which I'll probably not unlock), and 114 days of premium time. I'm pretty drat tipsy, so I can't tell if this is better than last year, but it seems like a pretty good haul in gold-equivalent value.

I got something like 30k gold and 10 million credits, which is a much better deal than any of the other gold packages offered in the store.

I was debating on buying the Patriot but I think I already have enough T8 premiums and I kinda like the T34 in comparison. But maybe I am wrong. When I saw that wheeled tank being played and if it is coming out on the 24th I might as well hold off until it comes out to pick it up.

Don't give Wargaming money. Don't gamble on internet garbo. However, if you're going to give Wargaming money and you're going to gamble on interent garbage, might as well buy loot boxes since it provides the best cash-to-gold ratio even if you flunk out on bonuses.
