I've moved back from Canada to Western Australia so playing on the US server isn't really an option. I want to transfer my account to SEA do i just log a support ticket with SEA?

Why don't you just embrace the sweet release from this terrible game?

I have for over a year, there are some tanks that are pretty fun to play though.

In the 9.14 patchnotes, there's this interesting item:

"Reduced the number of modules for low-tier vehicles (to facilitate the research process)"

This is an example of what they've done. It's the BT-2.


Is it purely T 1 & 2? I've noticed some pretty redundant things like high XP radio's at T4 that don't carry on to future vehicles. It's really just a trap for new players who upgrade everything rather than getting the hell out of T4 as quickly as possible.

I didn't take it as an insult, was just being jocular.

I read, too late, about the T-60,70,80 path, but rushed headlong into the game in my desire to pew-pew with tanks.

When I first started a few years ago I read the thread and decided I was going to grind the T57 because it was considered one of the better T10's. Starting in lights (apart from the obligatory low tier lights) is a terrible idea. I still think the soviet heavy line/s are the best starting line since the thick armor is so forgiving.

The Japanese heavies are ridiculously overpowered from tier 5 to tier 7. The earlier tiers are hilariously bad (particularly the tier 4) and the higher tiers are also bad (particularly the tier 10).

Wait so the O-Ni is worth getting? I've been running around with the O-I derping everything, it's worth moving up?

How exactly are they planning to crack down on illegal mods that way? I don't uite get the "key" approach

At the moment anyone can throw a mod in the mods folder and run it. In future only approved mods will work as part of the game. While people will still be able to produce aim bots, etc they'll probably have a hard time talking to the game (utilizing in game autoaim for instance) though it will still happen. Likewise after updates updating the unapproved mods will probably be a huge pain in the arse as well (so a far more pleasant days after a patch where you don't get auto ammo racked by the same tank).

So it appears pubbies have forgotten how to shoot KV5s. I say this because I marched right down the middle of Sand River dealing out 3k damage and having 1.5k bounce off me. Good times. Still a fun tank. Are the Czech tanks any good? Some of them looking interesting, but with a SP 1C and a Chi Ri sitting in my garage I have enough poor/mediocre tanks to finish.

The tier 6 czech is great fun with the 3 round autoloader. I've heard good things about the T 9 & 10 as well.

An upgunned KV IS with the speed of a tier 7 medium, the gun of a tier 7 heavy, and armor that may as well be a tier 7 light if you face anything higher than tier 6.

The e50, Patton and T-54 poo poo all over it. So does the Skoda T-50. Possibly the WZ-120. I'd rank it even with the Type 61. It's a good tank, just not the best 9 med by a long shot.

e: oh yeah, AMX 30 proto is really good, too

It's been a few years since I played the T54E1 but from memory it was a great mop up tank once numbers had been thinned where you'd jump out and ambush tanks with a clip then run away and reload. It really doesn't thrive in the early game.

The difference between having sixth sense or not is like night and day. I can't understand why they haven't made any changes to crew skills, we still have a bunch of useless skills that are noob traps.

There is one build for each type of vehicle crew with a little variation for armoured and unarmoured tds. Jack of all trades is going too be even more completely useless once permanent med kits start for instance.

With the light tank changes will Bulldog XP be moved to the T71? I've got the crew training at the moment but I could probably turn it off and build up XP since I haven't unlocked the T71. Is the T71 going to magically unlock since I've researched the Bulldog?

It sounds like all XP is going to remain at-tier, so don't bank a ton of it on a vehicle that you know is being up-tiered.

T71 is going too be the new t7 light for both lines so it stays at tier.

Is it out really going to matter much if the t10 lights suck? Everyone is going too have grind 200k from their upgraded tier 9 so they know what's coming in the first place. It's like grinding the French td line when you know how the Foch plays.

People who have a t8 are getting a replacement t8 if their tank moves up so they can always sell the one they don't want.

Holiday mode is garbage. Rewards are (mainly) garbage. Many issues with the vehicles are bugged. They broke the main game in numerous places to implement it. If I had to rate it as an 'event' I'd need negative numbers. Are we going to get granted mission rewards(worth far more credits than the loving broken holiday modes) for missions completed while Wargaming took an explosive diarrhoea in the bed? Yeah right. Is there a university for being terrible at games administration in Belorussia? There loving should be.

The mission is stupidly grindy (crazy thing to say in WoT), WoWS seems to have these PvE events sorted out by not make you repeat them over and over again (get 5 stars and you're done).

It could go quite well, I like they idea that having one left in the clip means not being totally defenseless while you fill the clip. The idea that dumping your clip has big repercussions on the reload is a pretty cool idea.

Those tanks have 0-skill BIA crews, which make them much better than a crew with BIA because they have BIA but don't count as having a skill so the xp required to get to the next skill is exponentially lower. The Rudy is especially great because you get 2 tanks (Polish and USSR) for the price of one. Tier 6 tanks are also the choice tanks for doing Battle Pass missions, so the Rudy and Cromwell B are definitely worth buying in my opinion.

Also not sure how I did it (quite a while ago) but I managed to get a second set of polish BIA crew by moving the crew to another tank / barracks, not playing them switching it back to soviet and then having a patch drop. Wish I could explain it better but I somehow ended up with a spare Polish BIA crew for the Rudy.
