Last night was horrible for teams and I wanted to get that 4 kill final mission for the six small gifts, so I finally loaded up my tier 3 premium tanks and went to town. Seal Club is the only Club that matters.

Low tiers are so much more fun. They feel so much lower stake and slightly less bullshitty.

So Vents, Vstab, and GLD are currently on my Bisonte but I feel the GLD can be replaced to maybe improved aiming or the Improved rotation mechanism. I will have to play around a bit on some of the equipment to see what works but the accuracy on this tank is very poor.

Not buying any more. I got enough shards to get all the large decorations, and creatively mulched enough to get 0.7% modifiers on everything except New Year.

It seems like the game really wants me to level my BC25t crew.

As much as I hate playing this game solo (or in general if I'm not drunk), few things are as satisfying as getting consecutive OHK shots on oblivious enemy tanks with the KV-2.

T78? VK30.01H? M4A3E8?

Byyyyyeeeeee.

If you think the KV-2 is good, you need to get a 183 mm TD.

I already have the Death Star from way back before it was replaced by the Badger, but Tier X is Tier X, and thanks to Pubbie Roulette, Tier X is invariably loving horrible when playing solo no matter how drunk I am. Despite that, I'm still on the verge of getting the Shitbarn too because regardless of how loving horrible Tier X is, plapping some fool for 1150HP with mere AP rounds is still a giggle when platooning. Of course the HESH stuff is just a bonus :discourse:

In other news I'm sitting on a pile of 20k Bonds, and am wondering if the Chrysler GF is worth 8k of those as a crew trainer (which won't force me to have some useless gump outsider Radio Operator doing nothing). Yes it's a one-trick-pony with a terrible gun for Tier VIII, but what else am I going to do with all this poo poo?

For 20k bonds you can get the Kpz 50t from the ranked store (just have to get to division 1 first :smithicide: )

Oh yeah I almost forgot, I unlocked a couple stages of the Polar Challenge for the 274a but didn't buy it, and the opportunity to do so disappeared immediately, whereas in the past the unlocked package usually hung around for up to a week or so. Well a CC on the official forum suggested contacting WG support who would arrange a transaction, and that's exactly what was offered; the tank itself, without the rest of the package, for close to 7k gold, which is not too bad so I'm going to take them up on the offer.

The only question is if they'll just exchange the tank for gold on the account (I was almost out, but got the aforementioned ~30k from the boxes,) or if they specifically require a gold purchase equaling the cash value of the tank, as this was hinted at from the response. If the latter's the case, that's a little disappointing, but it's still not a bad exchange, a decent tier 8 premium for ~$30. I don't spend a ton on this game anyways, and the holiday boxes have been a great value for me (and I'm considering buying more because of that.)

Just got an ad in game saying people can buy it for 2 more days at the discounted price. Hope you waited on that decision.

I don't own either, but I've heard the Patriot is the better tank. Unless you just want the 4 person crew trainer instead of a 5, or just really like side scraping.

If it makes you feel any better, the T54E1 is better than it used to be. Which is not saying much. When it first came out it was a loving monster, but power creep smacked it down hard.

I've actually been thinking of rebuying it for T9's as I do quite like the T57.

1,600 dmg in 6.66 seconds vs 1,600 dmg in 6 seconds for the T10 isn't all that bad, The T10 just has a chance of actually bouncing things while the T54E1 isn't bouncing poo poo.

I enjoy the tank, when they buffed the pen I was so happy. It's not amazing, but it is great. Clipping people out in 6 seconds is always amazing.

When I was in my prime I played the T57 A LOT. I have not played it recently at all. I used to love playing that tank, it was so amazing clipping people for such a great amount of damage then reloading shortly after. Now-a-days, I am not sure how it holds up. There is a lot stronger competition in T10 in modern WoT.

Here is a tank that is going to remain stuck in time because I don't want to ruin my memory of it:

I have a lot of replays, none of the T57. I basically treated myself like a light tank that had HP.

Was that lovely to do?

Yes.

Did it win games though?

Yes.

Below are the last two games I played in mine, nothing too amazing in them except seeing me hide behind tons of things constantly, T57 style.

I love ammo racking IS-7's with the T57 though, its quite easy, just shoot them exactly where I was aiming repeatedly.
