It's a special case for people to transfer RU accounts to EU servers because of the war in Ukraine, since many players and companies including Wargaming and credit card companies can't/won't do business with Russia and Belarus.

My bank wouldn't do business with Belarus even before the war. I have to go through loving Paypal anytime I want to buy anything and I loving hate that company.

Man, trying to burn through the last handful of event levels to get the second crewmember as a Harrier sucks hard. One of the requirements for your time not being completely wasted is "win the game" which is nearly impossible with pubs if the WT has two functional braincells. Hell, the last time I played as the WT I intentionally tried to lose by completely ignoring the plasma carrier and only attacking other Harriers and I still won the match with a few thousand HP left.

No wonder I typically see 5-15 WTs and almost no Harriers in queue.

Yeah you can only bank on doing the two daily damage missions with Harriers, hope you started doing them early enough :unsmith:
Also both those girls/guys are commanders only, with a unique voiceover.

If you want to complete the win mission you need to do most of the work yourself.
  • Do whatever you can to pick up the plasma yourself and take it to the generator.

  • You need to keep moving over 50 km/h while you're carrying the plasma to slow the decay timer on it so it doesn't disappear.

  • If you see the WT start to teleport, stop heading towards the generator you were going to and start heading towards the other one.

  • When the WT shield drops, don't bother with the WT, just move to the next group of enemies and kill 2 of them.

  • When the WT gets its shield back, kill the last enemy and take the plasma to the next generator. If you get there while it's still on cooldown drive around so you don't lose the plasma.

  • Keep repeating this until you've knocked out the WT shields permanently and then kill the WT.
You can beat the WT almost every time if you do this, provided the generators don't spawn too close together so the WT can cover them both at once, and provided your teammates don't steal the plasma themselves and waste it.

Since zeroskills exist, there's probably some hackjob workaround they had to figure out to make sure they're not loving over people who have zeroskill 6th sense crewmembers. I appreciate the effort/attention to detail at least.

Now if only they weren't doing a lovely job with the booster change (200% 1 hour = 100% 1 hour x2)...

I hate the KTTS. If I make one mistake in it I'm dead. I can't hide, I can't relocate, can't push, can't poke, and the gun is laughably bad. I've seen people have good games in them but I just can't make this thing work. I thought I could take advantage of the 4x weekend to work on the field mods, but I'll probably need to take a long break from this thing and try again at a later date.

Supposedly it's been around for many years in the game files, but WG had no idea what do to with it and finally dumped it as 'second place prize' on this event.
I'll tell you though, it prints epic medals if it gets to fight tier 6s on a corridor map :unsmith:

You can also get one community contributor commander for free if you haven't played in 30 days or more. If you have, you can either spend real money or do missions and get them from the in-game store.

For instance for Quickybaby the redeem codes are:

EU: https://eu.wargaming.net/shop/redeem/?bonus_mode=4X3EQUICKYBABY
NA: https://na.wargaming.net/shop/redeem/?bonus_mode=4X3EQUICKYBABY
ASIA: https://asia.wargaming.net/shop/redeem/?bonus_mode=4X3EQUICKYBABY

For Skill replace the bonus code with VSJTSKILL4LTU:

EU: https://eu.wargaming.net/shop/redeem/?bonus_mode=VSJTSKILL4LTU
NA: https://na.wargaming.net/shop/redeem/?bonus_mode=VSJTSKILL4LTU
ASIA: https://asia.wargaming.net/shop/redeem/?bonus_mode=VSJTSKILL4LTU

Again, you can only get one for free, so pick carefully.

There are also codes for Daki and others but I have no idea what they are. They will be happy to tell you in Twitch chat though.

E: also I'm a loving mark and bought the new Strv S1 GI Joe skin:





There's also a Cobra themed Renegade skin.

I'm guessing it's "haven't logged in in 30 days or more" because trying Skill's gave me a "code not valid on this account" message.

You couldn't pay me to run QB with a voiceover.
