Stanley Pain posted:so I have 5000 of those things that lets you buy a tank, which one should I get? 5000 is for one piece of bond equipment, the tier 8 premiums start at 8000. What is your playstyle then? There's the T-103 mobile home equipped with a 130mm boomstick. Easy to play and rack up damage with. Surprisingly effective turret armor in the front. Somewhere between a TD and a hulldown heavy. Lorraine 40t if you have massive autoloader chops and are a good player already. Maximum difficulty if your aim is more than ~1000 damage per game, but hey free autoloader that has great penetration with the standard AP shells. T-34-3 for an allrounder medium, doesn't see tier x games, big alpha shotgun. STG Guard is an accurate, high alpha medium that plays like a poor man's Skorpion G. What it has is great camo so stay at medium-long ranges. Hide, ambush, take a potshot and run for cover. Repeat. For advanced player only. All bond store heavies are severely flawed, the lights are uncompetitive, and the 240 damage mediums a joke in 2023. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 15:07 on May 5, 2023 |

They are for camo styles, very good bia crew and bonds. The selection of tier 9 tanks are bought with battle pass tokens. Standard wisdom is to get either the Char Futur 4 if you enjoy French autoloaders; or the AE Phase 1 for a solid hulldown heavy. After that it gets rather niche and personal.

Thanks for the info. I have a lot of tanks to play as is. Might just sit on it. I could've sworn I had 5k of some other currency. It showed up as a popup and took me to a screen that had some tier X tanks that I had just enough currency to buy one. The bonds tanks are different than what I had seen. Can't figure out how to get back to that screen or if I hosed something up ;S

Hooray more loot boxes! Including fantastic prizes such as the Chief Proto, KV-5, KV-4 Kotzlowski, Tornvagn, and a new tier 9 bound to measure up to titans the likes of the Chief Proto or the redoubtable 114. *it's an American GSOR 1008 in tier 9, but much less accurate. Surely the dpm increase to 1800 will make up for that. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 15:40 on May 10, 2023 |

Honestly, I don't know why no one at WG hasn't had the bright idea to allow you to buy these loot boxes for gold-equivalent to clear it out of the system more efficiently. Also, just a reminder to the newer players that the IS-2 for sale at the moment is another Berlin Quartet tank that comes with a zero-skill BiA crew.

I haven't been playing for the past few months, but I tried the new game event and it thought it was a nice change of pace and mostly fun for the 30 minutes or so I played. It lacked something though. I hope they bring it back in the future with more development and don't abandon it.

The salve for my skipping these boxes (other than the lovely 'single reward' per common box thing) is that I have nothing but lovely crews for US TDs and I'd have to burn a ton of universal skill books to change that. I also only have a 1:5 shot of getting the TL-7. I'd probably get the Astron, T77, Chieftain Proto, or KV-4 instead. There should be guaranteed credits and those 20k xp boosters in *every box*. I also can't help but think the lack of gold in these boxes is a pilot for them to remove it from the Christmas boxes this next time around.

WG could generate *so* much very needed goodwill by making all premiums behave like the TS-54... ...but they won't. If anything, I'd expect it to become another "perk" of WoT+ in a few months' time.

Since the whole free demounting of bond equipment thing is gone from WoT+, letting you dump any same-nation crew into any same-nation premium would be a legitimately great addition to the package and would make me seriously consider picking it up as my only ongoing-purchase element in WoT since I've still got many hundreds of days of premium time ticking away from holiday boxes. That's assuming they wouldn't fold it into existing premiums for "free" because of course they wouldn't. WT eating a giant pile of poo poo recently isn't going to do WoT players any favors either - we need more competition in the space, not less.

Discord Nitro is a better use of $10. Also, the Ho-Ni III was awful. Ji-Ro isnt so bad with the stock gun, almost half way to the top gun, could just be glad I'm working with a much wider gun angle tho.

Yeah, except there is a problem with the new Frontline map: quote:Please do not use the Respawn Point at Zone D: If the attacking team captures zone E while zone A is not captured, they will have a usable respawn point appear in zone D (which is prohibited from entering by the attacking team). There's no way to get out of the zone.

The new FL map does seem legitimately cool overall, though I've only gotten 2 matches on it so far. My only real complaint would be that it feels like the objectives are too easy to get to/not as well covered as previous FL maps.

Steel Hunter sucks now. You don't lose your levels when you respawn, so there's no incentive to pick your battles and everyone YOLOs even harder.

Now they just need to not completely botch the landing by making the previous ranked shop realistically accessible through onslaught, instead of something idiotic like "you need 500 wins and to finish in the top league to get access to the shop".

Sorry for the double post, but I had a really fun game in the T-54. I was lucky to have some teammates that supported me and that had the presence of mind to not rush the forest. Missed a few easy shots (I am a bit rusty) and hesitated a few times, but otherwise a fun and aggressive game.

I guess they're bringing World of Tanks: Modern Tanks to PC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0vtI3edqcU That 20 second video doesn't show a lot but what it does show looks exactly like the console Modern Tanks game that basically starts with Cold War tanks and ends with an Abrams and T-90.
