Tiger Millionaire posted:also what the hell do I do as a medium/heavy tank when I'm put in the lobby as the lowest tier tank? I'm out ranged, outgunned and outmanoeuvred. At least as a light tank I can chill in a bush and spot. Congratulations! You are now a sniper. Get somewhere that has good sight lines to large portions of the map and kemp bush.

They're selling the Berlin Quartet at the moment, which are all T6 and T7 tanks (arguably the new sweet spot) which come with "zero-skill" Brothers-in-Arms crews, meaning BiA is fixed and your second skill trains like the first (train Sixth Sense as your first commander skill). The Cromwell B is arguably the best of them, even if it's a trainer only for British mediums which are kinda  .

Tiger Millionaire posted:Playing on a fresh account after last playing 8 years ago, having fun, though I'm definitely hitting the credit wall now I'm in tier 6. How much would you like to spend, and more importantly what type of player are you? Bush sniper(a lot of them), bush spotter (LT-432 or Even90), hulldown/corner heavy brawler, light player who just wants to drive around like a maniac (EBR 75, almost never on sale tho), fast mediums, heavy mediums, medium mediums (T-35-85M is a great first step)? Autoloader preference yes/no? Also starting on Thursday is some kind of two week marathon/battle pass thing where you can get an interesting turreted TD. You could play a lot during that time, and buy the remaining progress out on the last day with gold. If you're really unsure just buy the T-34-85M, it's 13€ something here in Euroland. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 22:29 on May 8, 2022 |

Depends on what tank line you're going down and also what's on sale as posted already. And when youre bottom tier, get somewhere behind the top tier heavies and mediums respectively. And don't be afraid to run away and or flank when the big boys are keeping the enemy tanks busy.

Right thanks all, I do enjoy playing light tanks the most but I'd just kinda assumed that a heavy premium/TD would be the best for creds grinding just because they can dish out the most damage. Waiting for a sale is a good idea, didn't even know the individual tanks go on sale that often

If you really wanted some good tanks that I can see. The 50TP is on there and is good.

You can buy the most OP broken piece of poo poo tanks in the game, but if they don't fit your playstyle, if you don't enjoy playing them, what's the point? For making credits any T8 premium is the best choice, pick whatever suits your fancy.

^The playstyle thing definitely. But also get the patriot from the bond shop if you collect enough of those. Even if it isn't really OP like it used to be the extremely low shell cost and good pen on top of the premium tank credit bonus means you will always make a bunch of creds if you are hitting anything at all.

Captain Blaargh posted:^The playstyle thing definitely. Yeah but a tier 8 heavy like that is no fun at all. For a steady bond store money maker I'd rather look to the T-103. 3100 dpm out of a 130mm with higher standard pen than the SU-130, hard turret and gun depression. Goes 40 all days long. Pretty much the improved Patriot.

A number of people in this thread have talked up the T-103 as a fun / good tank, but pretty much everywhere else it's been declared a piece of poo poo. Why do you guys think it's decent? I got a -20% coupon for getting a Lehväslaiho's Medal and the T-103 caught my eye.

Especially if they don't have other money makers. Also that doesn't cover the part of the shells being cheap and making losses profitable. Also you aren't the size of the birj khalifa with a tier 5 hull.

The Patriot is a piece of crap without good aim & advanced stabs/rammer for tracking shots; and iron discipline in the hulldown game. It's diabolical to recommend it in 2022, I scrapped mine at the turn in your clunker event. I can't even remember when I last saw one, and I play a lot of prem8's. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 01:02 on May 12, 2022 |

I really wish someone would ~suggest~ to WG that during those trade-in events, there should be "special offers" for veteran accounts. I've got a few "duplicate" premiums I could stand getting rid of.

sauer kraut posted:The Patriot is a piece of crap without good aim & advanced stabs/rammer for tracking shots; and iron discipline in the hulldown game. I'm just talking about making a profit and warning about the balancing features on the TD. With the shell cost in the heavy you only have to pen half the time give or take to still make credits. You'll note the 'even on a loss' and 'low shell cost' bits being the point. It's by no means meta anymore but you'll have some field mods to fix the derp a bit in no time. If someone's familiar with any american heavies or mediums it's going to be about the same experience mid to close range. And no I'm not going to tell them to spend actual cash on it these days. Diabolical? They're going to need to be good to not blow up in the with the 103 just the same time as the patriot in its own ways with the giant size, no camo, and the fling HE on me roof. The turret front is solid and great gun if they know how to work around that stuff though! Hell, I'm grabbing one as soon as I grind some more bonds probably. Like was said before it's look at the different vehicles and go with what fits one's playstyle in the end, but some tanks will just math out to more credits on average.

You know, Wargaming, Italy had actual real tank destroyers as well. You could've used one of those.  Also lol at a 36 second inter-clip reload and then an 8 second intra-clip between each shot. E: that's quick, they already buffed it. https://twitter.com/WorldofTanksEU/status/1524758395898707969 They improved the intra-clip from 8 seconds to 6.

If you're very close to 3000 points to spend on a BIA crew and wary of starting the chapter, don't be. You can spend the marathon points as they come in, unlike the earlier chapters. That said I'm never gonna be able to finish this, all my comfy tanks are maxed out on points and the dailies will only take you 1/3 of the way. Already seeing a few Shputniks on EU, so far they seem like low alpha Borsigs. They eat HE about as fast as they can shoot it. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 21:59 on May 12, 2022 |

Yeah, if you average 5 points per battle and do all the daily missions, you're still going to have to play 26 battles per day to get the free TD.

I don't know what it is, but ever since I unlocked the BL-10 on the Obj. 704 I can't win any games. I swear there is a WG matchmaking policy that sees I am trying to grind through a line and once I have everything unlocked on a tank it sticks me in all the worst matchups just to extend the grind to unlock the next tank (I know that is not true, just my own personal wg conspiracy theory). Everything was fine with the 2nd tier gun, I had a 60% WR and enjoying the tank a lot now I can't wait to sell it.

Whenever I am nearing the end of a grind and need a few thousand xp to finish up a vehicle, the game lumps me in with the worst teams and MM possible. What should be said and done within two or three battles winds up taking ten, only for the tenth to be some ridiculous affair which sees me overshoot the requirement and find myself with several thousand xp locked on a vehicle as one more spiteful kick in the balls. Granted that this is less of an issue now that we have Field Modifications, but it keeps happening. Edit: Another tinfoil hat moment, the "noobshield", when poo poo players get those "magic pixel" saving rolls in an otherwise sure situation that would leave them as a crater. For those moments when you score 350 on some dickhead when you have a gun which rolls 390 on average, leaving the loving prick with 13HP. Sure enough:  Of course.

Good lord the state of the EU servers. Not only do we have to deal with the normal marathon mutants, but also it seems like all the insane assholes have crawled out to play. My evening started with a light tank who announced at the start of the game that he's not scouting for anyone and parked in a corner to spam chat with slurs non-stop, and went worse from there.
