trying to figure out why the depot shows that i have over 50m worth of equipment to sell, does it now show you can sell all the stuff ON your tanks vs just showing whats extra?

That's all the equipment that used to be on your tanks. It was demounted to the depot when equipment 2.0 hit.

According to Armored Patrol: "Due to tomorrow’s update, the last morning offer will be postponed from 05:00 to 11:00."

They also say:

"At the same time, the same user mentioned that the last offer will be … a “mysterious black box” (lootbox? With unknown content), which is to be valued at 5,000 gold. Is it true? We’ll find out tomorrow."

People have datamined stuff from the game files and revealed some kind of "secret stash" where people will be able to buy things that appeared in previous Black Markets for credits.

You'll be able to buy a maximum of four vehicles. You can't buy vehicles you already own, or vehicles you could retrieve (restore) in your depot. The list of vehicles is supposedly...

quote:


IS-6 B
SU-76I
BT-SV
Schwarzpanzer 58
leKpz M 41 90 mm GF
Pz.Kpfw. V / IV
Pz.Kpfw. IV hydrostat.
Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. J
Pz.Kpfw. 38H 735 (f)
T34 B
Chrysler K GF
AMX 50 Foch (155)
Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10)
AMX 13 57 GF
105 leFH18B2
FCM 36 Pak 40
FV215b (183)
Caernarvon Action X
Sexton I
WZ-111 Alpine Tiger
Typ 59 G
Lansen C

If true I'll be a bit upset I blew my 215b money on the Foch 155 :v:

E: some others are saying the in-game data mining is poorly translated and you won't be able to buy up to four vehicles, you'll get to buy from a random selection of four tanks picked from vehicles you don't alreay own, and can't recover from your depot. So the chances of getting to buy a 215b is actually pretty low unless you already own most of the tanks on that list.

And with my luck I'd get the Alpine Tiger, the T34B (lol the normal T34 doesn't count as a double), the IS-6 and the Chrysler.

I use rammer, IRM, optics for equipment, 5/15 AP/HESH for ammo (the AP is for superheavies with spaced armour), and food instead of auto extinguishers. I sometimes regret the food.

It's from your lower tier tanks.

SpannerX posted:

No. You pay gold and unlock one tank that you haven't already owned from a list of possible tanks. You can then pay increasing amounts of credits to unlock up to 4 additional tanks from the list. You then pick a tank from the ones you unlocked and you get it for free.

bit of note.
This is first time they have sold tier 10's for gold i think.
its literal slot machine you can reroll with silver after paying 19€ worth of gold
there are several busted tier 3's in the list as well. Including the 80€tank

Yeah, just be aware that the black and GF skins of tanks you already own count as different tanks, which is really dumb. I unlocked the Schwarzpanzer 58, AMX 13 57 GF, and WZ-111 Alpine Tiger before getting the SU-76I, and I have the Mutz, AMX 13 57, and WZ-111 already in my garage.

Yep. In my list of possible vehicles I have the GF and B versions of tanks I already own. So... cool.

E:

I rolled...

Panzer IV Hydrostat
Panzer V/IV
BT-SV
Lansen C
FCM 36 Pak 40

I'm torn. The Lansen would probably be a tank I enjoy playing, but the Pz V/IV and FCM 36 Pak 40 are rare as gently caress. Is either of them genuinely good, because just being rare isn't enough for me to buy a tank?

Sounds good. Is the aim time as bad as it looks on paper?

Sometimes I wish it would aim faster, but 0.3 seconds isn't enough to justify GLD over IRM. Plus IRM gives better results than GLD for like 2 seconds of the 3 second aim time. Also, most of the time you're rotating your turret to fire at a moving target 300+ meters away and just need to hit it somewhere, so fine aiming isn't super important.

The Lansen C will be sold in the normal store the day after tomorrow, so I bought the Pz V/IV.

Lol, I got a Type 59 Gold. I really wanted a deathstar but I'll take it. I don't even need it, I already have a regular Type 59, just find it funny that I got it for 5k gold and there are people who bid 200k gold for it last year.

Trade you?



I wasn't about to keep rolling (I'm silver poor) when I could snag the Deathstar for 5k gold outright. There were also quite a few other tanks in the list I didn't have that could've/would've been "poison pills" like the black and GF tanks I didn't want or had non-GF versions of.

I should also note that I don't have a British TD crew trained. At all.

You should probably back up the lack of extinguishers with the 20k Firefighting crew directive. It's the same price as the auto-extinguisher so :shrug:.

Grats man!

My first game in the 183 was abysmal. About 550 damage and 1 kill.

The problem with tanks like this is that they are unflexable at all and you need to have some luck on your side to have enemies on your side. I was not. Also, I missed a almost fully aimed shot on a Grille who was out in the open, that pretty much lost us the game. Think the equipment that shrinks the overall reticle size will work nicely on this?

Ausf J is definitely the most overpowered (and valuable) in that list but it's still a T3 tank. The Pz5/4 is fun as gently caress if you fit it out as a rammer. It's a Panther chassis (with the full weight) and a Pz4 turret. It's also fixed T5 MM.

Dravs

You've done well, kiddo.
The Panzer 2 is broken, 90% of tanks that face it cannot penetrate it at all, from any angle. It also has a piddly little machine gun so can't kill much either. You will either solo the enemy team in it, or run out of ammo. There is a reason they do not sell it anymore.

The Panzer V/IV is a great tank and broken in a different way, it is very overpowered at T5 and you can set it up for ramming which is very fun.

The 13 57 is hilarious fun and super powerful at T7, if you like light tanks.

The M41 also called the blackdog or the german bulldog is the actually best tank offered, except it's just a good light tank at T8, the other 3 are more interesting.

Edit: The last time they sold the Pnzr 2 on the black market it went for a stupid amount of money, almost as much as the Type 59 G, in case you care about that kind of thing.

They did sell the Panzer II J in the store last summer with a premium time bundle. They also sold the BT-SV in a bundle as well. They also sold the E-25 and leafblower, so if WG feels like printing money, throw scarcity out the window.

I personally would go for the Caer X. I am a sucker for British tanks though, so take it with a grain of salt.

So you pay 5000 gold and get a choice of tanks free, or do you just unlock the ability to buy the tanks for credits? I got 5G gold but I am silver poor.

You pay 5k gold and unlock one tank, then pay ~1 million credits each to unlock the other 4 choices. Then pick one tank for free from the ones you unlocked.
