I honestly prefer xbox tanks just because of xvm. Controls aren't that great but they're workable. It's also a lotttttt easier to carry and they still have dragon's ridge!

Anyone know if the LT-432 is any good? I still have a $25 Starbucks gift card that I can put towards something.

Imagine a light tank that is super difficult to hit and most shots that do hit bounce. It's a pain to play against in Frontlines.

Looking at it's win rate across the servers I can see why. Yeah, might be a good investment. Looks like a fun tank to boot.

I appreciate that console WOT has just turned the dumb dial up to 11 and called it good.
But uhh..

I'm not sure a 23s reload counts as fast.

Ah yes, gold. That premium currency which can be used to buy premium tanks, except you can't use it to buy the ones you actually want.

thanks to all these 20k daily exp drops i ground out the wz132a in no time and bought the tier 10 on discount.. i really disliked the tier 9 it had nothing going for it vs other tanks.. lookin forward to acing this tier 10 -NOT and i know this tier 10 has awful gun stats but no matter how bad it's nice to be in a fresh tier 10 for a change, i cant remember the last time i bought one. --played it some.. i hate it the gun IS BAD a lot like the tier 9.. you can fully aim but only hit half if you're lucky of your shots and thats IF you even penetrate

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Still enjoying the Leo so far. Top gun is perfectly workable, view range upgrade on the top turret maxes you out to 445 with coated optics too, so it's still pretty okay for a tier 7 medium.

Yep, that is exactly what having greater than max view range spotting does. Your crew's excess view subtracts enemies' effective camo values.

Yeah, but if you're both firing in the middle of a field, you really want to hit max view range to ensure you don't have the classic "I'm currently shooting the enemy, oh they blinked out and I shot way over and now they're back, cool" situation.

Because *of course they would*, the IS-3A is going up for sale this month until the 31st. A ~pre-sale~ from 5/11-5/13, then a ~general~ sale from 5/13-5/31.

Betting this is going to be the first $99 just-for-the-tank sale.

Sucks to play against an IS3A in a heavy, but for every other class it's basically free damage. Load gold, sit at 400m at smoke his rear end.

They had the Defender on sale last week for about ~$43 just for the base tank. But I am glad to see they are giving people a chance at purchasing the drat thing.

Remember when I first posted and I accidently used my facebook to make an account? They changed it very quickly for me when I submitted a ticket for a name change.

E2- I asked on Discord but I will ask here too. I forgot I can exclude two maps but I am undecisive mainly due to I hate seeing maps in a top down view. But I figured I would ask you guys: What are the two worst maps in your opinion?

I enjoy it. That alpha will surprise you too. It is more reliable at heavy tanking if it can sidescrape a bit as the tracks are huge.
