Ho boy this new tier 8 meta of large clumps of impenetrable hulldown BZs, Viperas and SuperPattons (joined by older T56s and AMBT) slowly grinding each other down sure is fun.

Vipera roof is like 20mm thick. And it angles down into frontal shots. The tree t8 is far and away more scarier.

Bought 100 boxes. Got the Vipera and the T9 French. Edit: IDK, feel a little disappointed by this. More so then other years. Mesadoram fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Dec 1, 2022 |

Logged in to get the free tank. Named the village "Snowy Gibberish". Logged out again. Haven't played a battle in nearly two years and keeping it that way means I don't spend money on loot boxes.

I played one game in the SU-2-122 this morning because out of all of the tanks this was the one I was looking the most forward to. It is a hilarious tank and I love it dearly. The shells move like a volleyball soaring through the air and the double pen with gold is 740 damage. On a T5 tank. I spent more money to get my 2nd guaranteed tank and I got the Arnie tank. Which means I got: All of the little shits, the Char, the Arnie and the Vipera. Is the Vipera any better than the tech tree T8?

The roof on it is... a problem om paper. It seems like the tank ALWAYS needs to be slightly elevated to stop the easy roof pen. Edit: Just as a reminder, you can buy machine tokens for resources if you fully upgrade your village. Its 2k resource per token. Mesadoram fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Dec 1, 2022 |

Bought 80 boxes, here's what I got: The Chinese heavy is hilarious. Gold ammo has 800 base damage and good pen, which is just stupid. The rockets allow it to ram the gently caress out of anything and you get four charges. The French light seems very tricky to play. Haven't tried the Iron Arnie yet.

I needed about 86 boxes to unlock everything. The Iron Arnie feels like a good tank, looks like a good tank, has reliable frontal armor, decent mobility... but that gun handling.

Already had AMBT. In first 80 boxes, got the Rice Rocket. In 2nd 28 boxes, got the Pattonnegger and the Goomba viper in 3rd 12 boxes, got the Bofors Grand Prix - with three boxes left over. Haven't actually hit the battle button since February. I'm such a loving moron.

Skill has become a victim of his own popularity. In his last game he had five or six total people who were baboons, ie. drove up to him with their guns in the air, turning back and forth to dance for him. His policy is to not shoot dancers, and it's always funny to see. It was pretty fun to watch him have a comedy meltdown. "How am I supposed to farm credits and play the game when everyone is baboon?" But it has seriously been cool to see his popularity rise over these past few years. He's not a perfect guy or anything, but overall I feel like he's a positive influence on the game.

Who knows, maybe at the end of the event your good boy brings you something based on how generous you were. Don't count on it, though.

The website mentions no bonuses other than taking your gold away at the end of the event. Which does seem odd as gold is real cash basically.

I appreciate that the bonus credits and exp are global bonuses for all non-premium vehicles instead of having to lock in a couplefew specific vehicles like last year. You can probably get away with fully unlocking the xp/credit bonus with 40-50 of their respective boxes. I had several thousand leftover materials of all kinds after 200 boxes (50 of each). Edit: Isn't there some tiny chance of outright winning a tier9 tank from tokens instead of just getting pointless rental games in it? I wouldn't be too surprised if the dog "happiness level" or whatever could boost that chance somewhat. sushibandit fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Dec 3, 2022 |

I don't see how the T9 pom-pom light doesn't get reworked into a double-tapper at some point. Three shot groups are just too wasteful. It's also a change that could be made to a premium tank that I don't think anyone would mind. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Dec 3, 2022 |
