One more tank should do it to get me to the last of the battle pass, even the Type 64 that I already got 22 points on.



Is tier 6 just the way to go for this, or did you just decide to mostly do those?

Tier 6 is great because most T6 pubbies are completely clueless and you can bully them. Plus you only have to get 100 battle pass points before you get the bonus for completing a tank.

Yeah, I just played my 131 on a lark and got 2800 damage, 7 kills, and a master badge. Too bad I don't have that many t6 laying around, just the prems pretty much

Correct.

If you're going to play it, here's some tips:
- Heavy tanks are the best because you can do more damage by ramming than you can with your gun.
- Get as much Mirium as you can before time runs out in the early stages because it carries over to later ones with more difficult enemies.
- Don't forget to equip your tanks with consumables, especially the one that restores HP to your teammates.

Yeah big loving ups to WG for putting ALL THE COSMETICS in the store for 4500 gold apiece.

Unlocking the Captured Tiger takes a minimum of ~40 games, but that is with the assumption that you're playing at the highest difficulty, you're the best player on the team every time, and you win every game. Which you can't actually do since you can't even unlock the hardest difficulty straight off the bat, and of course the rest of it is just wildly unrealistic.

More realistic estimates are 100-200 games to unlock the tank.

E: The Leopard PT A continues to be amazing, possibly my favourite tank so far in the game. Can't wait to get the Leopard 1.

Not being a dick, but I am very good at tanks and these type of grinds do not take me nearly as long as most players and I have got fed up with WGings ultra long grindy bullshit or pay $80 that I hardly ever play this game anymore. Currently playing another arena based shooter with big mechanical vehicles and the difference between their monetization and what you get during events versus the required effort is loving nuts. I literally got 14 days of premium time for just playing a couple matches.

No dickery detected, it's completely ridiculous that even if you play at the best possible level you have to literally win like 50 games of a thing to get the rewards, and how all the events are obviously aimed at making people pay loving AAA game prices for pixel tanks and skins.

Their whole monetization system is so loving stupid and goes against all the established best understanding of how to design good monetization (not my direct area of expertise but I worked with researchers who specialized in F2P research for 5 years).

E: I mean seriously, they're charging loving 17 euros a pop for tank skins in this event. I won't buy a single one of them, but if they cost like 5 euros apiece, I'd probably buy all of them, and a bunch of other people would probably buy some as well.

For a limited time, naturally. If you didn't buy the tank during that limited window you lost it forever which is just peak WG.

Hate playing on patch days; the game feels so crippled without all my usual mods, and I forget how many useful things are from mods instead of built into the game. Hell, how is "Automatically return crew" still not a built-in function after all these years? :argh:

They had the Captured King Tiger as part of Amazon Prime. Soon after they removed it from the monthly bonus of Prime if you had it you had a small window to purchase the tank for I believe it was 23 dollars. Which to me was super cheap and a great deal because the Captured King Tiger is an amazing tank at Tier 7. Its a very versatile and heavily armored tank for its tier and with its gun it can be scary against same tiers to Tier 8. Tier 9 tanks you have to play against those a bit more careful but it can hold its own at medium ranges.

I really want to get the skin and I am three stages away from getting it (If you already own the tank you will be compensated with Credits but you can keep the skin). Im coordinating with goons on Discord for us to beat hard mode and I would like to record a victory to share with everyone when we do. It can get chaotic near the end with hunters and The Immortal but it's doable.

Some people are saying this is also happening in their NEXT games. If you die in game 1, you will be like this in game 2.

It was a discount that increased the longer you had it from twitch prime. I think that $23 was the cheapest (or close to) that it could get. All I remember is I had max discount but not what the "full" price was.

The event is pure loving hell with pubbies. Why yes, DO drive out of the Magnus circle with a bunch of magic crystals, Double! We absolutely need to farm more bots instead of winning the game. Oh what's this, you died and now you're crying about people abandoning you to die alone?

Yeah, in general in Wargaming games, absolutely. Every time Jingles shows NA replays, there's a bunch of talk in chat, people are chill and joking. On the EU servers it's typical to get a bunch of people yelling slurs in exotic languages before the match even starts because they spotted a name from a country they hate because their country's hated that country for a few hundred years. And it just gets worse from there.

It's unreal that even very basic humanity like saying "good luck have fun" before the match, or saying "well played" to someone who did well has gotten me a lot of messages after matches because people were so surprised by even such small things that it was noteworthy for them.

And of course a lot of hate from people who are so far gone that they can't take even a tiny bit of positivity.

Allchat's only purposes were harvesting pubbie tears and telling the enemy team where those useless AFK redline campers on your team were hiding at the end of the match so you could get your tank back sooner.
