I unlocked the Conqueror. Jesus loving christ, 51 000 XP just to start the grind on the only gun upgrade, which is 60 000 xp. Otherwise you have basically a larger, slower Caernarvon at T9.

Whenever a Conqueror hits me for 280 damage I just think "Lunchtime!"

Whenever I hit someone for 280 I think "maybe 2000 gold isn't that much, I could have the big gun right now".

Don't grind the Jap heavies. Any gold shell will pen them right through the turret front (10x easier then even Germans), and uhh credits are not really an issue atm.
Type 5 is not even 300mm thick, many tier 8 mediums can do that now.

Yeah, I think I'll stop this line at tier 7, I like it and tier 6 for some odd reason, while the later ones get to be put in games with vastly better counterparts.

Also figured out why the MoE values are so odd. They were simply based on the number of games I had played with the tank, and comparing them to others with similar number of games.

Also a big gently caress you to whoever decided that roughly half the daily missions for the holiday missions are "block 3000 damage" or "be the number one on your team for damage blocked". Skill and QB have had some good rants about how stupid and counter productive this blocking poo poo is, and yet they just keep putting it in everywhere.

i find killing the opponents rather than allowing them to kill you results in a greater chance at victory. maybe try that next time

I'll keep that in mind!

E: I think the biggest thing holding back the averages for the BZ-176 is that most pubbies who play it are loving idiots who try to snipe from the backline and finish their games with ~600 damage. If you actively push in and brawl, you will just absolutely gently caress fools up.

I haven't played mine too much but even averaging ~2500 damage a game my stats are PURPLE AS gently caress, which is just baffling considering how much damage you can rack up in this thing.

Holy poo poo the Conqueror is fun. The Caernarvon never clicked for me and I almost didn't even get the Conqueror because I figured the play style just didn't work for me, but good lord this thing is rocking.

A question, though: is there much point in getting the Super Conqueror? It looks to have the same gun and a fairly similar turret, but I guess it also has more HP and basically the same matchmaking (plus 3D skins).

Super Conqueror is a good tank for Ranked now that the Kranvagn was nerfed to poo poo.

Besides the things you already mention between the T9 and T10, the T10 does have better armor and cleans up some weakspots on the front turret.

Its worth getting, but do keep the T9.

Both tanks' weaknesses are the turret ring and the empty void behind the gun barrel.
The ring on the Super is 25mm stronger, making it a gold pen only.
The gun shield/block of spaced armor in front of the empty void is angled more sharply on the Super, and the small flat part right around the barrel is stronger just like the turret ring.


Oh and whatever unfortunate things are happening to you with the Conq's copula are stamped out by rounding it off, and putting spaced armor in front of it.
It's worth the worse MM, tier 9 hasn't been what it used to be for me anyway. Feels like 75% bottom tier.

It's a better Super Patriot. Really good turret armour, decent gun. Not the most accurate so you don't want to be sniping, not good DPM either.

Skill's videos are pretty good.

And I swear to god this game is loving unplayable right now. It's absolutely unbelievable how loving awful most of the players are, and unless you're top tier (and you're not, it's -2 all the way) you can just go gently caress yourself in your T7 shitbox while your T9 heavy hides from an IS all game long and finishes with 0 damage.

Not all of them, he just tried to mark the T-54 mod. 1 and gave up after 90min of nonstop eating poo poo.
Also finally downgraded the Patriot from good to meh at best, after getting farmed in it for days also.

Nice haul with the Iron Arnie, keep moving to prevent easy cupola shots and you'll be a-ok.

There really should be a way to sell excess garage slots. 123 of the loving things for 300g apiece, if I could sell 100 of them 1:1 for silver, that'd be 12m credits and I'd still have 23 left over.

They should just make it so you can't get more garage slots than there are tanks in the game.

You also have to love how stingy the "token" rewards are. 2000 resources for a loving coin, and when you get a consumable, they can't even make them a stack of five by default.

I really like the Iron Arnie. The gun can definitely leave me frustrated, but everything else about the tank mostly makes up for it. The frontal armor is almost idiot proof as long as you keep moving between shots and don't try to fight tier 10s with it.


WoT gods punishing you for not shooting gold.

BZ is legitimately fun to play, unlike the Caliban. It's terrible at ramming for some reason though, even with a turbo and grousers and spall liner and rockets lit.

It is very fun. It's also so blatantly OP if you know how to play even a little bit that there's a good chance they won't sell it again any time soon. Then again they are very greedy so vOv.
