Also for some reason you can't do battle pass missions in Ranked which just the cherry on top of this whole poo poo sandwich.

You still earn Battle Pass points in Ranked though. I took my Kranvagn from 0 to ~150 last night.

Well that's something at least. I played through 10 qualifying matches in my Leopard and Object 268v4 and that was all the Ranked I could take for the night.

God drat what a cancerous game mode.

Ranked is terrible unless you have a Kranvagn or Vz. 55.

It's seriously amazing how many people are playing Ranked without Sixth Sense on their tank. :dogstare:

I have both but I don't have the autoloader on the Vz. 55 and playing the Kranvagn is so god drat boring :argh: Maybe I should play it and try to get to the second division so I can buy my Kampfpanzer 50t and never touch Ranked again.

This hasn't been true for a while. If NA were still important to them they wouldn't have consolidated the servers. The heyday of super-generous promo codes is long gone. They were once so desperate for NA players they sent Chieftain all around the country to restaurant events where everything was comped by Wargaming in private rooms - including alcohol. And this wasn't even for content creators or influencers (such as they were at the time) - just average people who showed up for the events.

EU has better numbers than NA now, both in players connected and players paying.

The results of their clan wars tank auction:



8000 new Chieftains. Great work!

This is on the EU server.

E: although TBH 8000 new Chieftains is better than 8000 new Object 279(e)s. The Chieftain can be insanely good but is also apparently not completely idiot-proof.

I finally got one of those games where the enemy team does everything they can to lose. I was so close to getting TD-12-4 with honors in a tier 6 TD, but my kill shot on the third heavy tank bounced.

Bullshit that you can't earn the commanders anymore. I got Cobra Commander from the event originally, but he disappeared from my barracks without a trace and WG's customer support said they can't do poo poo about it.

Mike? and CobraCom had a time limit to hire them :smith:
It was strange, but if it's any consolation the Cobra guys voice is really bad. And he came with some poo poo like mentor or jack o.a.t. that you'd wanna retrain off immediately.
He also seemed buggy to me, he wouldn't say anything for extended periods of time even if you landed multiple hits etc.

Char is worth it if you like mobile snipers. I can't speak to the others though. K-91 seems good when I'm fighting against one. I'm probably going for that or the Kunze Panzer as I have little interest in the Lorraine or Cobra and missed the last few battlepasses.

I wish you could choose nationality again when you reset commanders. Then I could put him in a british tank and eventually have Cobra commander in the Cobra.

By really bad you mean Cobra Commander is the best commander in world of tanks and it's a shame there isn't a way to earn him anymore. Whoever was voicing him was having a blast.

Never had any glitches with him. He's extra hilarious in a fast firing tank too. Just constantly screaming.

But yeah, CC and Duke were with a couple twitch prime bundles. Hopefully they put a way to get them back in. Duke is really boring though. No energy and most of his lines sound like a new generic american commander if you didn't know he was supposed to be a G.I. Joe character.

Oh cool a team where 8/10 of the players on my team have a winrate lower than 45%, well this ranked game will certainly go well.

E: next game: one player that isn't orange or red on my team in addition to me, all enemy players are green. COOL.

Yeah I know it evens out in the long run, but in ranked a streak of utterly poo poo teams can just completely ruin the entire season.

I reached that point as well shortly after qualification. The amount of games I'd have to struggle through to get to the second league and unlock the possibility of buying the Concept or Kampfpanzer seems quite high, and also immensely frustrating. I just ... I don't want to. I'm not good enough to breeze my way through like QB or Skill, and ranked is not an enjoyable experience in any way. It's literally just hull down Kranvagns and rear end in a top hat pubbies who only play to save their star.

I have to give a big thumbs up to Wargaming for nerfing the credit income (and probably the XP, too, it looks like?) in addition to making it so you can't complete dailies in ranked, so there's absolutely no point in playing it if you're not trying to progress through the ranks.

dont run xvm

like seriously, the argument of it lets me know who to support on the team is dumb, everyone on your team should be treated as a moron in 100% of games. Loading up your game to just see a sea of red on your team does more psychological damage to yourself.

He's a guy who's getting sued by Skill for trying to get Skill swatted on completely made up child porn charges because Skill told him and his weirdo friends to gently caress off from his Discord or something.

Add Circonflexes to your list btw. He stopped doing the youtube stuff, but seems to still be active on twitch. He is another good one for being unicum levels of skill at tanks. Though, also willing to do derping stupid stuff (for example, all he foch 155 that he somehow makes work really well).
