BitBasher posted:Finally: A question: Is there a way to NOT use or disable x5 experience missions? I had saved like 90 of them mainly doing only daily doubles but now my T2 and T3 missions for the event in poo poo tanks are eating all my x5 misisons that I absolutely do not want to use on them. You also have to remember not to burn them all up on premium vehicles while grinding credits (unless you are training a crew and want to use the x5 I guess). The only way to avoid using them but not completely avoid using a tank is only play until you get your first win of the day. The first win uses the x2, any win after that uses the x5s. I guess you could actively try to lose in your gift tanks if the missions aren't specific that you win.

McGavin posted:Camo is a fine 4th skill (after repairs, BIA, and view range/gun handling perks), but it isn't necessary to take right off the bat. I disagree, in general 4th skill should be BIA. First three are General Repairs/Camo/Gunhandling poo poo. Camo is basically important at two times, at the beginning when everyone is rushing to the 3 good spots on any map and then in closes games at the end when its just a few tanks left. Not having good camo in those two time frames isn't great for a medium.

I'd much rather have a skill that is contributing during every engagement, than one that is only useful in certain situations on certain maps, and the effects of which can be obtained by adjusting your play.

The same is true of repairs. Repairs for a medium is only useful if you are being shot at and it takes your tracks out. If your tracks are taken out either you done hosed up and you are dead anyway or you need to burn a repair kit to be safe. The times when the normal repair rate is bad but the full repair skill time gets you out of trouble is tiny.

That's like saying view range is only situationally useful. You are constructing a big ol' strawman over there.

Having a gun rammer is situational because sometimes there's no one to shoot at.

Finally got the char futur 4 and this thing owns. The long intraclip reload keeps from overextending to empty the entire clip into someones rear end while his buddies shoot me, and the turret seems be pretty bouncy.

Is there a particpation trophy for Steel Hunter, where you just get 1 of the tokens or whatever? I can't imagine playing enough of it to get the full allotment but if i can get 1 from each Steel Hunter I can get a reward tank. I missed the first Frontlines.

You can get 1100 points a day just for doing the daily missions for Steel Hunter and doing damage to folks. It's really easy.

You need 12 tokens to redeem to get one of the reward tanks. So if you have 8 tokens you could just push your way to get the first three and work half-assed for the one coming in September. Myself I am not gonna play steel hunter. I got bigger fish to fry. Like working on getting the Patton tier X.

Bulky Bartokomous posted:This event is a an amazing time to stat pad and push MOEs on Tier Vs. Lots of people playing lovely tanks they probably haven't spent much time on equiping. And how.  The valiant and T-116 I've only played during this event. Not good for padding win rate though.

The premium trade in is intriguing. Looking at you Kanonpanzer 105 and ISU-130. E: Also, normally I make fun of people that complain about kill stealing, but with this loving A46 grind I have decided it is a valid complaint. Just did 988 damage with no kills in the stupid Valiant spamming gold. gently caress I hate this game. Bulky Bartokomous fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Aug 22, 2020 |

I think it was said on Discord that you are better off keeping them than selling them? It might have been because if you get them again you get more credits if you already have them in your garage? I might be wrong there though.

Some of those little tanks can slap people around though. BT-7A before the HP buff used to just one shot low tiers with HE.

Hello, I got sucked into Youtube algorithms and watched like 20 different WW2 tank videos and now I'm back playing this game after not touching it for 8 years. Why are there so many popups? *edit* Haha just remembered this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUvydoqHWxI Doh004 fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Aug 22, 2020 |

Gone Fashing posted:I didn't play for like a year and it took 10 minutes to click through everything and get to the garage Same, downloaded the game after rage quitting and un-installing not long after getting my 907 CW reward tank, the clan i was in leader sold he's account and the person drained the clans accounts and kicked everyone. just got sick of playing random's and having nothing but shitter matche's during the 6+ hr sessions. Got over 40k battles with a healthy 54.** winrate and i'm just so tempted to take my M60 baby Jesus out for a spin. While not playing the game like an idiot still put money into the game like gold/credit packages / those personal reserves and tons of premium vehicles etc etc since rage quitting. Love the look of that super hellcat gift tank to bad they nerfed the cat into the ground back in the day  also got the account linked to twitch loots so it's got all the various random crap in the monthly boxes. Also got tons of the "old equipment" and tons of consumables if my calculations are correct i gonna have near 20mill credits just from selling the old equipment

Thank god this is done. I don't even know why I did it. The Valiant sucks to play and the reward tank pretty well sucks out loud. Yay Skinner Boxes!  ...To be totally fair, the Bt-7 Arty was fun to zoom around and derp people in.

Especially since you KNOW they'll offer the A46 during one of the Black Market or Bazaar events.

I just had maybe my most frustrating game to date. S. Conq., 13/13 shooting.....4 penetrations. I bounced a shot off the bottom hull plate of Jagdtiger. Not the lower front plate, the actual floor of the vehicle.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it at all now, just for cash. It was probably my mistake. I'm having reservations about it though because the gun handling seems quite bad, but I remember people using them pretty handily in Frontline. Opinions on the Bourrasque anyone? is it worth it?

I enjoy mine. You have to be really sneaky in the early game though. Showing off your position on the map that early makes you an eyesore and they can and will target you to get you back to the garage asap. The official wargaming guide for the tank is 100% accurate. If you can handle the silly jokes that is. But you can judge for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlrjJEQBU80 The strengths of the tank is channeling your inner gangster from Compton and performing drive bys at close range and finding an exit strategy. Other than that the tank is extremely hard to play if you are not used to it. So buyer beware. You will die a lot in this tank.

You can spend it I believe starting tomorrow on the tank. Otherwise it might go on sale in the future for real money. It's one of the reasons im not bothering with it.

Two questions. 1. I have been saving up my anniversary credits, do we know for sure that there will be tanks we can get with those credits? Other than this horrible trash TR6 light? 2. I've run the stock game without any mods since the very beginning. The only things that I want are: A. Ability to move the camera in the garage View. So when we have holiday events I can zoom in on different cool aspects. B. Better camera Freedom when I look at replays. C. Something that shows where I was shot on my tank in the previous match. And something that shows where my shots went on the opposing players tank. D. I don't want to deal with the hassles of breaking the client every time there's an update and all the nonsense I've heard other people have to go through with these mods. What would people suggest for this mod feature list?
