It is kind of amusing to hear the butthurt comments in the Armored Patrol link about how they've checked the "force historical skins" thing and still get "forced" to see golden tanks, ablooblooblooooo.

You know, in their ~totally realistic tank game~.

Let no man say I am not a consumer whore. In my defence the TS-5 is one of my favourite tanks and this skin looks drat good.









E: the advanced joke getters on the official forum are complaining about the skins being bad because they "almost make the tank look like toys". In further news, what the gently caress is this transparent liquid falling out of my showerhead, don't they realize I could get wet if I stand under this thing, god drat who designed this piece of poo poo thing?

Never thought I'd see the day.

Add the LT vz. 38 to list of fun tanks I like. I generally don't low tier sealclub cause the game bad enough already but from time to time I play that as well as the John Hopkins University tank in low tiers.

They're selling the WH40K KV-2R again, too. But based on what might be happening to HE soon, :nallears:.

I also have a problem paying ~$30 for a T6 tank. That's low-grade T8 money.

I mean, what the gently caress, why is the T-44-100 such a loving white whale all of a sudden?

Wow, 30 bucks. I think I paid like 15€ or something for the KV-2(R) when it came out. I mean it's a premium KV-2 so it's worth its weight in gold, but yeah... 30 is a bit much.

Because it's one of the best tier for tier tanks in the game. They only put it on sale when Serb wants a new boat.

Meanwhile today Eekeboo was asked during the WoT stream why there's very few universal blueprint fragments and a bunch of national fragments in the battle pass. Because people WANTED more national fragments and less universal ones, apparently.

Top left corner on the screen above the crews in the garage and below the cogwheel / your in-game name. Click on the icon that has three heads on it (To the left of the checkbox that says accelerate crew training). Go to crew books for the selected tank to see if you have any crew books available and then use it if you wish.

Keep in mind you need to have your crew belonging to your tank. Crews swapped out on premium vehicles will not work and the UI will guide you on where their true home is.

The crew also has to be already fully trained for the tank, so you can only use skill books to increase skill exp.

Man, the arty rework is dumb as hell. AP is like 400 damage with arty accuracy on a 30 second reload and the damage HE doesn't have a big enough damage difference from the stun HE with zero splash.

There is literally no reason to use anything other than the stun HE. Plus stun gives you like 10 seconds to leech damage on the off chance your brain damaged teammates manage to hit something.

Keep this handy, I used to keep it on tap for the times I'd play on the EU Test Server before they made a US one available, especially back during the all-chat days: Жаль что у Сталина не хватило патрона на твоего деда.

It roughly translates to "It is a pity Stalin couldn't spare a bullet for your grandfather."

Either many Russians do, or many people on the EU servers speak Russian, because holy crap do you see a lot of Russian in EU chat.

And also the test servers mix EU and RU players.

Yeah he's their top EU community manager for WoT. I mean I suppose it's possible that some lunatics are demanding less universal fragments, but I genuinely don't understand how that could be.

I feel like I must be missing some crucial method of obtaining universal fragments.

I have tons of national and no universal. All I wanted from this exchange really was some of the 2D styles and universal booklets.. but guess what those are only available for universal blueprints. I don't get why they limit some things to universal only when I (and probably others) have a ton of national I need to get rid of and would like something other than training booklets. Moreover, I don't understand why WG insists on having events but puts up so many roadblocks that limit people from actually taking advantage of them...
