I can understand why WG would want to remove limited MM, the current model makes some of the tanks that have it feel a bit cheaty. Also why would anyone want to buy a premium with regular MM when you can pick up a fantastic pub stomper like the IS-6 and spend most of your time at the top of the food chain.

Yeah that's a great idea. But we just can't because reasons.

I'll ask this to Southern Dandy. Are you, if at all, getting counter shot more often whilst playing arty since these missions have begun?

Or. Or maybe they just made it really really hard so that not every pubbie can get one.

The JT88 will be more profitable than pretty much anything from the tech tree, but typically tier 5-6 TT tanks are considered moneymakers for those that don't have premium ones. You generally look for a tank with a good gun and cheap shells. Something like a Hellcat at tier 6 fits those criteria, but not the SU-100, because while the latter is very good the 122 shells are expensive. (122 shells do less than twice the damage of the 90 mm ones but cost more than twice as much.) Look for something that doesn't require you to fire many/any premium shells. Or just shoot HE, it's cheaper, and does more damage too! :eyepop:

I believe the KV-2 is pretty good for this sort of thing.

Making the Bismarck a premium ship would be a good move financially while just having the Tirpitz be the regular tier whatever. You just know all those wehraboos would be more than willing to fork over for a genuine Kriegsmarine Legendtm.

There really isn't any reason to put any thought into or get mad about the winter mode guys. Just play the mammoth to guarantee the 2500 dmg and train up some American heavy crews quickly. The other 2 tanks aren't really worth it and winning means nothing :/

Do MBTs have cameras in the rear for when they are backing up or is it old man style blind reversing hope no ones there?

nope. In fact, the driver enjoys a whopping 45 degree frontal view through narrow periscopes. Drivers take their commands from the tank commander, who backs them up, drives them forward, etc. trusting the commander to not drive them all into a ditch. In fact, the driver is usually the lowest ranking and least experienced person on the vehicle.

From what I've heard he has the best seat in the house though.

9.6 adds the CDC and STA-2 right? Well tier 8 prems just so happen to be on sale until Wednesday. I would imagine they will be postponing 9.6 until at least then.

It's still used some but really CW calls for specialized tanks that adhere to a role more than general purpose tanks.

Incase anyone is wondering the SU-100y is a hella fun TD that has some sorta doomsday gold ammo that does 500 dmg per shot at tier 6.

And from what I understand about the so called veterans in WoT, they seem to believe that because of their (alleged) previous occupation they deserve to be treated better than others in the video game.

Thats what makes them the easiest targets to troll. Some vet was going on about his "service" and told him the standard spiel about being a welfare queen/bullet sponge/school dropout and he asked me if I have ever served and I told him I served his mother last night. He absolutely wentoff in chat for the rest of the game about how horrible this disrespect is and I should walk into a recruiters office to "man" up. I was in the military and I know from experience how very thin skinned alot of them are.

Gotta grind enough credits to get the T57 while its still on sale and switching back and forth between the FCM and the CDC is the best way to do it. Really none of my other T8 prems are getting any love recently. The IS-6 is great and all but it has a really repetitive play style. The French prems are more fast paced and exciting plus they are keeping my recent WN8 in the purple since even ho hum games get good numbers, I have a feeling pubbies are making GBS threads up the expected values for these things.
