The grind wasn't that bad. The tanks are a bit underwhelming for the most part and really depend on being able to constantly put rounds into people. However, the Type-61 was one of my favorite tier 9s. I don't know what exactly it was about it, but I was able to do pretty well in it. It has a good gun, with good pen, and can bounce a stray shot now and again despite not having any armor to speak of. It kind of felt like how I remembered the Pershing being from back in the day.

Really? That is good to know. Might need to go down it one day.

on paper it doesnt look so bad?

tier 6 has good dpm and amazing dispersion values for its tier with decent shell velocity. probably lacking in agility?

tier 7 looks wierd with the super fast 3 shot autoloader with 1,6 aimtime and amazing gun handling. this might be the worst part of the grind? poor mobility but huge and without armor?

tier 8 looks amazing on paper. does it have best in tier dpm and gun handling while being quite agile, 390 viewrange and -10?

The Chi-To was fine; it's perfectly playable and basically has an effective gun with good depression on a mediocre chassis.

I skipped the Chi-Ri because it's basically the previous tank but fatter (and even more fragile, considering it sees tier 9s,) with the same gun except it has an autoloader. Pen is the same (i.e. mediocre at tier 7) and you have to pen all 3 shots to do the same amount of damage an IS is going to do to you and he'll pen you with every shot all day long.

The STA-1 is more or less a Pershing type tank. Good gun, no armor.

I'm on the tier 9 now, and it seems to be like a more paper Patton (less armor, but a much better gun.)

Battle Pass UI Screens from the Test Server:

Initial assessment:
Standard gets Daily Missions added, adds Battle Pass Rewards.
Premium is almost unchanged, adds Battle Pass Rewards.
One more Pay Tier added (unicum whales only!), gets Improved Battle Pass Rewards and option to buy Stage Completions.

You've done well, kiddo.
So is battle pass the replacement system for their current veni vedi vici missions that premium accounts get or something else?

Something else. Premium Accounts keep those missions, but Standard Accounts now get them, albeit with lesser rewards. Everyone gets the Battle Pass, but you can opt to buy an Improved Rewards version.

im having a great game but some of my team is complaining about a player on our team who is griefing. then i end up doing melee in my su130pm and suddenly the same player goes out of his way to ram me so the enemy tier 10 progetto has time to reload his last shell and i die to him instead of the other way around :(

then we lose the game despite having an amazing position and tank lead :(

its one thing to do 400 damage while playing in a tier 9 medium tank but do you have to sabotage your team on purpose? i could have an amazing game there but instead i end up with 900 xp because of the early death

Open a ticket, submit a replay. The in game report settings are worthless but WG does have people who watch replays for griefers.

Doesn't look like it touches the Premium account at all. This is just another new monetization option straight up like the battlepass of other games. Seems most similar to the COD one to me.

I am fine with a battlepass system that has cool cosmetic rewards and things like that, however, with WGing you probably will have to log into their website each day to activate a code to keep progressing down it and they will probably reward things for $ that give you more power.

It's only ever Tier X on CT. It's absolutely not worth a loving wank if you actually want to test anything.

Had a very good game this morning playing the Renegade:







Went south on paris with my double barrel friend and immedietly discovered the enemy team needed to be punished for not bringing enough backup. So once we easily took out their first lines our north flank started pushing hard leading to the infamous steam roll effect.

Shout out to Leo00032 for catching my plans as they were happening.

Wargaming would implement it so you have to play it after every battle to use your tank again. Or you can pay gold to have it fixed.

Whoo boy. Tech tree wise I have a couple:

IS-3 Is a very nice break on the road to the IS-7. It basically boasts a very large 122mm cannon and holds a very newb friendly hull down position with the upgraded turret. You are an assult tank with some sass but you are not suited to playing right at the front lines unless you have to.

Lynx 6X6 plays a lot similar to the EBR 75 and is totally worth it to get. Wheel tanks are fun and have a fun and engaguing mechanic for being absolutely annoying and flipping if blown up.

P.44 Pantera is also extremely good but if you already own the progetto 46 you can sell it in my opinion. If not keep it to reap in credits anyways with its 3 shot auto loader.
