I am a bit confused by this. Im on PC and I am not sure what you mean by this.

WG's other games have had features like built-in 6th sense and streamlined crew & equipment systems for years. These are things that WoT has badly needed, and they're in every game including the console & mobile versions of WoT. WG is dragging their collective asses and just implemented "equipment 2.0" after like 10 years.

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:.

This is definitely good advice, but difficult in practice due to a variety of factors: not having a specific model available locally to try it out, having to ship things for pandemic-related reasons, or just plain finding good deals on office liquidation sales that have to be shipped to you (which is how I got mine.)

I looked up that chair you bought, and it's basically of the "car-seat style gamer chair" aesthetic, popularized I think by DXRacer. There's a ton of different sellers of those now, and while they're probably of widely varying quality, they're not going to be as good overall (as a straight up desk chair) as purpose-designed office equipment. There's a chair thread, but the models that get recommended are things like the Steelcase Leap (the one I have), the Herman Miller designs newer than the Aeron, and other similar expensive, but good office chairs (which, again, more than suffice for ~gaming~ duty.) And again, these are commonly available used for much less than their MSRP (see Craigs, eBay.)

That being said, I needed a chair for my secondary desk area (e.g. where I work on my media transcoding and Plex server) and bought an off-brand of those car-seat chairs for only around $100. It's totally fine for occasional use (and reclines flat) but is definitely inferior to, say, the Leap, in terms of build quality and adjustability (high-end office chairs give you multiple options for adjusting the height and angle of everything from the armrests, to the seat, to the backrest.) The one you bought looks better, but not $400+ better, considering that will get you one of the aforementioned ex-office chairs.

I didn't know what to use in the 3rd slot on the Bat-Chat 155-58 so I put in a Turbocharger and now it's faster and has more horsepower than the Bat-Chat 25 t AP (Tier 9 - the Tier 10 Bat-Chat has a bit more horsepower).

They really need to update the requirements on the campaign missions. Nobody has uploaded a replay where they get the honours requirements for Arty 15-4 since they did the arty rework in patch 0.9.18 way back in 2017.

Anytime a hellcat popped up I would rotate my m44 to it immediately.

Edit: Think I hate the GSOR. It's slow and the gun is either laser accurate or shells magically deviate into tracks, the smallest part of armor that I can't pen, or the ground no matter the range... and 44 seconds later I get to try again. I just noticed that the gold rounds also can lose up to 100 pen when fired at range. Which is murch worse than the pen loss due to range than any other TD I've seen. So that "321" pen can be as low as 165 if it low rolls and is at max range (if that's how it works).

One of the things that the streamers/content creators were suggesting with the Advent Calendar tanks was that even if you have the tank, you can buy the bundle at a discount and get the other stuff (e.g. garage slot, crew, but most importantly the 25 5x missions.) The only problem is that I think it only gives you the garage slot for 300 gold, not the other stuff. Not that I want the crew, and thankfully it doesn't appear to clutter up the barracks with them, and not that I want a full-price garage slot either. But it doesn't show the receipt of the missions or anything other than the garage slot, and there's so much clutter in the interface that it's hard to find the current quantity of those 5x missions in the first place.

I did find my stack of them and it didn't appear to increment after buying one of the deals, but it also didn't increment after getting the 4 of them from the Snow Maidens every day, and it does show a notification that they're received when you accept their daily gift. So either I'm not looking in the right place, the quantity isn't being changed in real-time, or it's really not giving more of those missions from either the AC bundles or SM gifts. :sigh:

At first, now any dickhead can cheese it if they get in an okay clan. Though the bad players that get it usually only run it for a week or two after clan wars sitting in the open getting their poo poo pushed in. Then you're back to moderate to unicum players dumping on everyone again.

ROFLburger posted:

Yeah, if it's not fun take a break or walk away. I take a month or two hiatus every so often to prevent burn out since I generally still have a good time with the game. If you just never have a good time putting it down forever and doing something else is not a bad plan. Plus you can always just give it another go some far off time in the future after a large balance update (or you make a poor life decision) to see if it's a better experience. It will still be there. Probably for a very, very long time.
