I had a lot of fun in frontlines in the SU-130.

Basically the only tank I found fun for Frontlines was the SU-130pm. My other options were ruskie arty and the italian medium non-premium.

I think this is the most XP I've ever got from a single battle.

I know it's frowned upon to just drown/leave/Alt-F4 mid-game but holy loving Christ when 13/15 tanks go to one flank and hide in a corner, I'm loving off back into the real world before I break something.

Finally grabbed some boxes. No gsor (which I was hoping for) or heavy spaghetti, but the 152K, a pile of gold, and all the new skins did show up. Plus the new sherman to put on the sherman pile!

I've started deserting games recently, too. I think I've just been playing it way too much lately. I was never someone who never did it, but when the losing streaks start and my team shits the bed in the first 2 mins of a game; It's hard to maintain chill. I think what gets me tilted the most is when I'm grinding stock tanks and just trying to get that first win xp bonus for the day and RNG just won't put me on a team that can carry me even 1 game out of 5.

Best part of the LT-432 is ramming EBRs doing dance moves in the open field and sending them back to the garage.

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.

When it first came out for alpha and beta testers, or when Wargaming broke their promise and decided to sell it?

This is the one of the reasons I stop playing Wargaming titles. Unfortunately, someone always talks me into coming back.

The matches are so bad and the matchmaker so lopsided I do it all the time now. Especially when the game has every shot I do bounce off weakspots with the biggest guns in the game. That's if my shots don't just disappear. Hell, I've done a bunch live with people watching today. lmao

I'm having an unbelievably bad session (still on-going, thanks booze-platoon!) where I just cannot deal any meaningful damage whatsoever. 800dmg in a 112 as top tier? What the gently caress is this bullshit?

Yeah, it honestly seems like the best way to get 'new' tanks is either wait 3-6 months until they're on sale for cash, or wait until next Christmas when they're for sale for gold during the next advent calendar.

That being said, WoT NA's 10th Anniversary is in April so :shrug: maybe they'll do another "Bazaar" or something.

They really need to get into the habit of putting up a tank or 3D style for gold every week, because gold is honestly pretty worthless otherwise.

The E 75 TS and Object 703 will be in the advent calendar if the leaked list continues to be right, so if you didnt get it last year, you have a chance now. Also wondering about getting a Somua, over the Lorriane, since both are supposed to appear.

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 did see that they reintroduced the option to buy the bundle, reinforcing the notion that the sale ended prematurely and more than a few players were disgruntled.

No, I didn't wait (partially because I didn't know they were going to do this,) but am still more than happy with my decision, because I ended up with the tank for like $30 instead of the package with all the useless crap for $60 (I only had 2 stages completed.)


You know what man? He's right. You used to play with us long ago, and you quit this game, which is totally fine, but popping in this thread once in a while to say you still don't play anymore is pointless.

The only new T8 premium I want is the GSOR, so it's probably not worth it to gamble on loot boxes with ~1% drop rates. Instead I'll hope that unlike previous years, they'll sell it on its own at some point.

For context it's a mario game & watch I played while I waited for my S-51 to reload on Malinovka. Didn't move my tank at all after backing up into the woods right after round start.

We won.

I also beat several levels in SMB.

I wanted that STRV that's on sale today so despite my common sense, I bought 25 boxes.

Got a Bourrasque and that goofy french medium with the swedish turret, a t78, and something like 3 other low-tier tanks. Nearly 30d premium, and 13k gold.


Blows my previous 25 boxes clean out of the water.


Now I'm trying to figure out how to set up a french medium crew for those two tanks. I have exactly 0 crewmembers that fit that slot. My christmas crew went into a different tank. I guess I'll just pull in a rando 100% crew and start from scratch :-/

The crew re-work is something that has been needed for a very very long time.

Also on an unrelated side note, never buy a chair without sitting in it first. I bought a secretlabs titan (first mistake as I am kind of short) and my back is on loving fire. $120 to return it to them.

Hard lesson learned :smith:.
