Yeah, I went 15 losses and 5 wins today, with some of my losses with me at the top of my team. Yay? I just said screw it and bought the 300 coin pack for the LNY event just to finish it off. I'd spend more on a pack of smokes back when I did so worth it, sort of.

Going to do the last Lunar event tomorrow to get 300 then buy the $10 300 coins to get a special camo.

This is me in the M103. The kv-85 stats are from when I was new and bad and the Patriot only has a couple games in it but all my other heavies have a good winrate except the M103 which just loses all the time, I have 2nd gunmark on it too.

I wasted a few 5x's playing the wrong tank. I was pretty mad when I realized what was happening. Good idea to have a tier 10 event while giving out boosters that people want to use for grinding tanks. Luckily like mesadoram my teams were causing me a loosing streak at the same time.

I had the same teams. They just keep doing the worst thing they can do every chance they get. If your team doesn't take any part of the map and die too fast there's nothing anyone can do.

I've been considering reinstalling on PC but I haven't played in a while. As in, last time i played the Batchat was just introduced a few months earlier. I just burned out on it playing with the goon clan defending Alsace and some other place daily and sometimes at odd hours. I had a good chunk of stuff unlocked at the time.

Can anyone give me a short lost of what has changed? I heard arty is limited per side now...

Uh, so if I remember correctly, the French tanks were introduced in 0.7.5, which was like 7 years ago...? :stare: You can't imagine how much the game has changed in that time....

4k bounce,cause,take dmg and the bst thing I have for it before the t-150 is the KV2

I'd guess that the lowest-tier HT that you could do that type of bounce mission in would be the KV220, if that's ever sold again. Otherwise the T150 isn't particularly tough, nor is the KV2. The KV1 in a 3-5 match might also manage to do it. Otherwise maybe one of the Japanese HTs could be an option?

Wargaming is starting to release badass 3D skins for premium tanks and you bet I got the one for the Progetto:

2500 gold

They also got one for the AMX 50 for 5000 gold

These own and more are on the way apparently. Armored patrol has a lot of leaks and details on what is coming. But also WG themselves announced stuff in their Feb sneak peek. Like a special style for the IS-3?

https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/announcements/february-2020-sneak-preview/

I like that they're creating more of the 3D styles, and that they're available in-game for gold, but there doesn't appear to be a way to buy the styles for tanks you don't have yet (unlike with the gift box styles) and for some idiotic reason the new skins are all time-limited. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't try to do it with a tier 6 tank. It could happen but it's not very likely. Some tier 7s can do it on a good game. It should be easy enough with any tier 8 or higher HT. Block a few shots take some damage and do a few shots of damage.

Don't buy the KV-220. It's an okay tank but it's a tier 5 and not going to be doing 4k combined very often. Tier 5s don't get to fight tier 3s anymore. That tanks armor isn't that much better than a KV-1 and it has a tier 3 gun.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I never used a single blueprint ever, so it dawned on me that I could just try to use them to go through the KV-3, and make the unlocking of the IS-2-II a little less painful.
Turns out I had enough to fully unlock the IS-2-II, and bring the IS-3-II down to like 20k xp to unlock.

:stare:

Thought about just going straight for the IS-3-II, but realized I didn't have a fully trained extra crew and didn't want to move my Object 277 crew, so I grabbed the tier 8.

First game:



Alright, then.

If a tier 8 heavy can "hold down" a tier 9 TD, because they might not want to take the chance of bouncing a 750 damage shell, and then eating a 600 damage return hit because of a new mechanic, that's...

Yes its dumb. I haven't had any issues fighting against DPers, but looking at the numbers I don't understand what the balancing factor is on them. It looks like its just a HT with the choice of TD alpha or HT dpm. They should dominate.

I got all five elements so I do not see any more. There are other things I could purchase but its gambling. And I can forget about getting those tanks. So it really does not matter much to me.

E- Also spent my crewbooks on my Caerneveron AX as it was the least skilled crew in my garage (Next to the 50TP but at least it has its first crews)



I love this tank and I hope its first crew skills can help increase my chances of survival in battle.
