The Boys slop back in the store if you're interested.
>>1729869shit tank and annoying crews
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSzZFP1x-oA
>>1729876>Recruit Commander AF>Zero skillsWaste of time
>>1729876Fuck WG, they removed all zero skill bia except for xmas event now
I can't wait for WG to go broke I'm tired of this shit game, the fucking gold spamming NIGGERS, the lack of maps, the SHIT maps, the retards in my team, the retards on the other team, artillery, P2W tanks and fucking loot boxes
>>1729853 (OP)Played WOT for about 7 years
Worst waste of time in my shitty life
I cope by saying wot was the only "decent" tank game my potato laptop could run back then
Fuck WG
Fuck jingles
Fuck soviet bias
Fuck quickybaby
Fuck that russian or ukrainian retard I can't remember his name
Fuck lemmings
Fuck premium tanks
Fuck hulldown meta
Fu all
>>1729970I think +2/-2 MM is the worst and I can tolerate near everything else, it's just so demoralising when you're tier 6 trying to fight tier 8's. Often see teammates just drive into the ocean at the start when this happens.
>>1729970To each their own but i have learned the ins and out of this game so it's pretty manageable for me. Pretty much similar to real life, you become the big fish or you get eaten by them.
>>1730057>wn8 has fallen, billions must improve (kinda a shit metric of overall skill because it can be boosted by low level tanks and platoons)I'm a returning player so I had to deal with stock tanks and current T8 matchmaking and I just go to E75 my beloved but I agree with this fag
>>1729970while I still believe that your irl habits reflect in your gaming habits (for instance if you try to become very good at something irl you are also more likely to grind a game to top scoreboards) I would say wot is the worst game where you can apply this due to +-25 and possible EOMM just like in cod and that instead of 4 you have 14 other idiots in your team, the competitive scene is pretty much dead when compared to other games
there's also a fine line between becoming good and playing due to sunk cost fallacy, countless hours aside some people invested substantial amounts of money in the game
>inb4 I play while drunk it's fun with friendsto each their own but ultimately if you are good you will get more enjoyment out of it and this is true to any online game whether people like to admit this or not, most new players are not concerned with stats initially but eventually they will start to care about that shit
this is why "hurr durr metafags ruining my vidya and fun" has always been cope from people who get absolutely farmed in games
>>1730002+-2 MM is fine, the game has worse issues in descending order
>artillery >OP premium tanks>map design >extreme TD overpopulation >T10 balanced around gold ammo
>>1730291>artillery worse than +2lol
lmao
>>1730361>+2/-2 MM means I can farm more damage>Artillery means I don't even get to play if they have xvm and decide to focus meNot even him but I get it, also gold ammo should only be useable when bottom tier to even out things and shouldn't be a thing for tier Xs
>>1730372XVM focusing is an XVM issue, not an arty issue. Being focused by tier VI arty and LeFHs is AIDS but if you're still whining about them at high tiers it's a you problem
You'd think Frontline would be good, but it is infact shit.
>>1730361artillery prevents any active play
only faggot clicker niggers will disagree
>Shartillery
It's not that bad but it can be really annoying when you're on low health already and get killed, feels really cheap. This is balanced though by it always feeling good to HE though at the end of a won match.
>shitillery
Every time I get near a third mark on a LT one of those retards fullpens me for my entire HP pool. Castrate all arty mains with a rusted spool of razor wire
Sky cancer should be deleted from the game. The new fucking crew skills makes their shell travel faster and their gun more accurate.
>>1729970I played it like 7 or 8 years ago I don't even remember. Wasted way too much time on it, but there were some fun times, although less than there should've been.
Also tortured myself on the British med line, only to find that the Conqueror is much more fun. I could never get good with the Comet and Centurions, and later when I got the STB it was just so much better to play I should've gone for that first.
Yeah, fuck WG.
>>1729970WoT is one of several games I've sunk thousands of hours into
it's the only one I regret, and wish I spent LESS
>>1730118>I'm a returning player so I had to deal with stock tanks and current T8 matchmaking and I just go to E75Just play the E100 it's plainly better with the big gun. I have fun angling my turret and keep bouncing while i reload and dump 750 on them.

I don't want to play Frontline.

Die for ZOG anni event
50% discount on consumables and equipment.
50-30-15% discount on tech tree tanks.
700k worth of consumables, a unique chaffe premium with much better gun handling, and more DPM in exchange for some mobility.
>>1733677You are free to take a break or play something else. Frontline is the most brain-dead snoozefest mode everโonly NPCs like them.
>>1730503It was fun at release, before people established a meta.
>>1733183>16s reloadwhy would anyone play this?
>>1734119That's 2.4k base dpm on a decently armored platform with -9 degrees of gun depression. It's hori 1 but trade dpm and speed for armor and ability to hulldown
>>1729889How do you know they'll keep those for christmas this time?
>>1737692Because it's the biggest event of the year.
>>1733182this is a very handsome vehicle
depends how large it is overall but damn
>>1738153>15.9% base camoIt's quite big. Will be more of support dmg dealer than LT
the pve mission is a drag, enemy tanks always score a critical when they shoot you
elefants on the hill can't rotate
you respawn on the worst position imaginable
so whats this shit about lesta and wargaming getting arrested in russia or whatever
i haven't played for three months and was thinking of coming back
>>1740007WG RU turned into lesta because wg ceo is retarded. The retard openly criticize putin, support Jewkrain and burned all bridges before leaving RU region. Well deserved. The game is still fun if you are decent at the game.
>>1739951I gave up and just get the normal version from doing quest in random mode
>>1740047>>1739951You aren't supposed to get shot, play it like a stealth game.
>>1740075ok mr. gamer, how do I pass the final stage/mission without getting shot when you are permaspotted and autoaimed by the bots?
>>1740089https://youtu.be/InrZ6jAttXE
If you kill a couple of tanks on the pve mission, they send a panther to chase you across the map
The panther does ~100 damage as opposed to the 250-300 (?) damage regular tanks do
>can have a perfect run on the minefield but get oneshotted randomly at any time
Bullshit desu, the steath mission is a pain too just because so many enemy vehicles.
How's the Hetzer doing nowadays?
Biggest load of bullshit ever in terms of difficulty but I liked the badge + 200 bonds.
>>1740524It's trash. Low rier bas been rebalanced, you can one shot like back then.
>>1740522Watch our guy play it
https://youtu.be/bsLVmE2Ut1g
What are you guys buying for the upcoming discount?
Iโm dropping 5 million on food personally
>>1741250Food mostly, yes
>>1741250Buy back some tier 10s i sold
>laptop keeps disabling network adapter during wot matches
I think it's trying to tell me something
>>1742378>I think it's trying to tell me somethingGo fix your laptop
>>1742588what are you, the laptop whisperer?
get out of here
i am going to re-install, play artillery and counter-battery all day long and there's nothing you can do about it
>>1743656it'll be faster to play french wheeled cars and yolo their base after a minute if you have a burning hatred for arty
>>1743656Thanks for coming back anon, looking forward to farming you post match with HE
Strv K is back in store, what's it like? Seem pretty mid.
>>1743780It's garbage, it's one of the early premium tier 9 so it's weaker than tier 9 TT. Better save your money for something else
>>1743656Lol you better learn how to play instead of wasting 1 hour, get bored and uninstall again.
>>1743656There is a ZOG anni event with MGS mode for a free premium tier 5 chaffee, some credit, bond and exp. You can get another chaffee variant playing the random queue.
>>1734103
>>1743780if you really want a centurion chassis, centurion 5/1 is miles strong than all the other centurions outside of AX due to usable hull armor and a stronger turret than the tier 9 centurion 7/1
>>1744738I have that and it's good, I would really only be buying the Strv K to earn bonds with but I already have a few other tier 9's premiums to do that with which are better.
>>1744743>I would really only be buying the Strv K to earn bonds withnah man don't fall for this meme
i used this cope when i bought concept 1b, kpz 50t and whaling xmas boxes for dzt-159 and toro
where are they all now on my account? sold after not played past the 100 battles honeymoon phase and all sitting in recovery.
just find the tier 10 tanks that won't make you blow your brains out, for me it's lion, st-62 and foch atm
>>1744748Yeah good advice. Aiming to get the S Conqueror, Fv2005 and M60 next up. I spent 15000 bonds on the 121b but after playing it for a bit the lack of gun depression put me off and will look out for that in future tanks I grind.
got both chaffees, now I can sleep
>>1748831Got mines then sold for 600k credit
>>1748831They are pretty fun
It's over shartgaming going to add tiered lootbox
https://thearmoredpatrol.com/2025/05/13/wot-tiered-lootboxes-in-eu-na-asia-servers-with-tier-10-chieftain-mbt-b/
First rollout of new lootbox sales in global servers, these are the multi-tier lootboxes chinese server played around with for their chinese new years event.
MBT-B and Chieftain MK.6 are your new whale tanks, arguably more than the WT E100 that went for 100k gold.
Thankfully ever since I got the Lion I don't feel compelled to whale for MBT-B anymore, but this is a historical leap in monetization.
>>1749147>>1749142You don't hate these niggers enough
>>1749147this wg employee ragebaits often, just block him and save your sanity
incredible how stagnant everything about this game is, except the lootboxes
>>1749164That's every wg cm drones.
I think this tiered lootbox shit is the push I need to stop playing, it's about as bad as it's ever gotten and it's probably going to get worse. Have a good one.
>>1749224The community is pushing back, if it still go through then I'm done, even though i still like the game
>>1749224This is the last straw that broke the camel's back for many of us
Wait, so to get the better lootboxes, you have to get them randomly from other lootboxes?
>>1749302Tier 1 2 3. 20% to get tier 2 from tier 1 and 20% to get tier 3 from tier 2
>>1749306I canโt wait to see those whaling for tier 3 boxes and getting the shitty tier 10 (bz-72-1)
>>1749688They will need to spend 1500โฌ to get everything.
>>1749717I was watching quickybabyโs video on it and itโs worse than i thought. I thought tank collectors still retain their massive discount but itโs like $750 to get them all if average luck. The tiered system takes a shit on whales lmao

>selling tank for 50$ is as profitable
autism speaks here. did some spreadsheet on the new lootbox system for the lolis
Both the Lion and 452k are pretty good tanks, I'm happy to have spent resources I spent no money on
ARMT is a fun tank, wish it had 4 shells
>>1750072in English, Einstein!
>>1750137>>1750143aksually I didn't know that no duplicate tank drops until all tanks are collected, so this is the new number
Whats the best non premium tank to do the block twice as much damage as your heavy tank mission? I need to complete it with honours.
lol, lmao.
cheapest premium I've ever bought.
>>1751412why do you participate in this cancer?
>>1751412>dodged the Vercingรฉtorixgood shit anon
the 10% chance of a tank from the raumfalte prime is actually pretty decent odds if we end up getting a prime container from the 10 free raumfaltes
>>1751412>more money than brain
Event seems quite fun, will grind that out for bonds and shit but I will be buying zero of their shitty gambling boxes.
>>1751460I'm stuck at waive 5 on the medium difficulty, seems like an even split if you go to a corner or remain in the center
>>1751466what are you using?
last year i had to metafag in a team full of groms and kilana to win. thinking about using the contradictious when the events unlocks over here in NA.
>>1751471I'm not a paypig, so I'm using my highest dpm HT, the T8 American yoh
The mode is still dragged down by retards in their single shot focused tanks like the bz or 252u, seems teams with groms and tortoises get the furthest
The excellent corner position got removed, you get a more exposed one
since i started playing wot 2 weeks ago and won't pay for it, i don't have high tier tanks. which of the rentable tanks is best for this event? what abilites and equipemnt would you buy for it?
i like last stand's gameplay, don't care about lootboxes.
>>1751412Is this event EU only or somethng? can't see anything on NA
>>1751566It states on the na website that it starts on May 16 04:30 ET so you have to wait another day for it. You get one day less.
>>1751564Hardening , turbo and rammer are always good.
>>1751600that's what i currently have on the rentable medium tank + group heal, stealth heal and vampire shot. usually me and my allies get to basic wave 3. best i've got is single guy alive losing vs 2 last enemies on wave 5.
Whats' the meta for the event? Am using the Caernarvon Action X due to the high DPM and heavy tank armour. Tend to also use invisi heal + stun rounds + vampire rounds along with rammer, hardening and vents. Struggling to get past the 5th wave on intermediate but I guess it's always a bit of a dice roll with your team mates too.
Completing the brutal difficulty doesn't even give you tier 2 shitbox
Thanks jewgaming
I have only opened the event boxes
I feel ripped off
>>1751631Yea you need good teammates, wait 2-3 days for them to learn or just join randos plat on wot official discord
>>1751638That's why shitboxs are bad, the chance of you getting free shit is so abysmal you would want them to sell it for 50$ like how it was done before or just pure exp marathon grind.
This new event is so shit. Its impossible to get to 5 rounds to get the shitty rewards and then I also have to destroy 1000 tanks to get another reward. Also the event itself is so boring and simple.
How do I spend these decryption keys?
This event is shit, wasted 500k credits trying to do it, always get to 5th phase then get wasted by bullshit tanks that get to fire 5 shots in a row without reloading and ones that set you on fire on impact. Only way to do it would be a discord lobby of metafags. Stick your ramfaltes up your arse WG.
>>1751856you have to complete last wave for the difficulties
>spend 4 hours grinding out BRUTAL difficulty for the lootbox
>50k credits
thanks WG
I could've grinded out 4 million in that amount of time
I bought the lowest bundle two times and got the GST Turm off of it.
It's uh, interesting. The 8 second reload for 400 damage feels incredibly bad when people autoload you back or enemy TDs slap you back for 500+ damage.
Actually considering dropping gun rammer for hardening or IRM
>>1753412It's a filler tank
Did all the missions, got 2d premium 250k and 3 crew booklets
Shit event
Replaced gun rammer with IRM and it fixed the gun trolling issue.
Baiting out shots on the frontal hull usually means your tracks get hit so replaced vents with hardening.
Overall, I prefer this over the vipera and xm57, if only because it goes 35 km/h and not slow as molasses.
If you guys played the SMV CC-67 from the italian TD tech tree, the GST Turm is almost like that tank but actually good.
>>1753432Yeah, feels like it. I wish I got the new tier 9s (Pancernik feels like tier 9 AMX M4 54, VCS 6x6 is agile and seems fun to make work).
At least I didn't get T77 or Emil 1951
>>1753233>>1753483The secret is meta T8s?
>>1753506Kilana with gun rammer, IRM and experimental turbo lv2
Abilities used: group heal, fast reload, stun shot
The secret is to play for a random platoon, and have them invite you if you and the random platoon reach the 5th, last wave.
In Kilana you need to save the fast reload ability to DPM down the Alpha E-50m before they overrun your team
>>1753515Pick high DPM tank and pray for non-retard team
Why do my shots rarely end up where I aim? wot youtubers always land their shots in their tanks yet I can't get anything in, or I'm against a tank where I can't do shit against when facing them. I'm grinding the Su-100M1, Charioteer and Tiger (P) and they all either have shit aim or they rarely pen. Charioteer is so ass in aim and gets spotted easily and yet its supposed to be sniper TD.
>>1753752For charioteer the gun handling disperson values are really bad, derp gun handling on a DPM gun is really painful and the charioteer is a remnant of old world of tanks meta from like 2015. Conway is the same shit too so you will suffer until you get the FV4005.
For tier 7 tanks with bad gun handling and no access to vertical stabilizers, you can improve it by stacking IRM and experimental turbo. Tier 7s tend to have horrific moving and tank traverse values so reducing the moving penalty and making the turret 'snappier' helps a ton
>>1753752because good players know which shots to take and which not, there is very little point in sniping weak spots at long range for example
good map knowlege allows you to go to positions from which it is even possible to get side shots, head on clashes on the "heavy side" usually offer very few opportunities to flank
using food, proper equipment, crew skills, etc can do alot to buff your gun handling and accuracy
pre aiming, turning your turret in the direction you expect people to get spotted, having a feeling for shell velocity, .. helps to hit more shots
while wot doesnt require good aiming like in FPS games there are still certain "skills" that give some people better aim than others
do i do it? is this clicker fun?
>>1758026There's no fun arty in the game, not fun to play nor fun to play against. But that one's the best for a lot of the missions you're basically forced to do like critical hits or stun time
>>1758034When I get into the clicker mood I pull out the T92 HMC with the high HE pen shell and try to fullpen people.
Normally I woukldn't have considered BC 155 58 but the 100% research interested me. Nobody here is a professional clicker?

>>1758026You have the highest rate of fire and mobility of any tier 10 arty, plus a fully rotating turret. But, in exchange you get an absolutely anemic gun. Worst damage, splash, and stun of any tier 10 arty. It's technically the second most accurate tier 10 arty but the tiny splash radius will not leave you feeling like it. I'd personally call it the second-worst arty at tier 10.
Take my opinion with a grain of salt, though, I'm not exactly a pro clicker.
deleted my wg account some years ago, even though i had spent money on that garbage ass game
one of if not the best gaming decision i've ever made
Finally did it, had a god tier Grom on the team that did 26k damage but everyone else pulled their weight too.
Man, can WG stop fucking up so much
I want to support world of tanks without gambling, but it's getting really hard
>>1762646Why would you ever want to support world of tanks? You disgust me
>>1762646I'm not buying a single shitty lootbox, fuck em. I buy battle passes and that's enough.
Retard bro here, "unused onlsaught colours" means ones that exceed current reward level but are not enough for the next one, right?
>>1762695I used to buy the battle passes, they seemed like a good deal, but the faggot whale scum had to ruin it for everyone
did i spend four evenings farming out 500 kills ramming things to death?
yup.
did i get anything out of the two lootboxes?
nope.
Brutal too hard. Doesn't help that I don't actually play the game so I don't have anything more than my 1.3 skill T32.
If I buy the improved passed with gold and complete the battle pass chapters what happens if I don't choose my rewards? Do they disappear or can I always pick later?
I have a couple crew books for each nation but don't know where I want to redeem these yet. They're not universal so I'd like them to last forever and be redeemed when I want them but if they expire I guess I can just evenly distribute them.
>>1764407>he doesn't have thge red RECEIVE link to the shop inbetween his goykeys and the missionAnon, what happened? Did you buy all the bundles already or something?
>>1769653Is it because I completed all my missions?
I only shelled out for the lowest bundle 4 times, didn't buy the key bundles that comes with the previous event vehicles like nergal.
>>1769652It gets auto-selected. I think it defaults to the first option, or sequentially in order with multiple selections.
For the bounty equipment, be damn sure to pick it before expiry. Otherwise it defaults to gun laying drive, the aimtime equipment and it's fucking trash. I know this from experience because I would forget to claim my pink equipment during extra BP chapters and I have two of those fucking things on my account
How many keys is the final step without clearing brutal? Thinking of dumping 100 for step 3.
>>1771501You have to spend the keys to skip.....................
and then you need more to Decrypt it
kek, it's not just 100 bro
>>1771501160 keys to skip the last chapter, step 4.
skipping step 3 doesn't give you the clear reward for first time clearing brutal i'm pretty sure.
Well I dumped 100 keys and got 180k done in ~15 brutal runs. I'm done, fuck getting the full clear.
>>1772488There were some specific spots on the map where the AI can't detect you, don't know if they've all been patched. If you look on youtube you can find them.
>>1772491they've been patched out, but the spot wasn't useful anyways.
once it got popular the gigashitters in their rental tanks kept going there on brutal hoping to get carried.
took a 1 week break from WoT and made the final wave on medium, went to wave 4 on hard
wew
>>1772938Gj anon. Always takes break when needed and you will get better result afterwards.
I wasted years in this game. being poor, I naturally had to dump more time than retard kids with daddy's credit card. Even focusing and using premium xp boosts only got me to tier 8.
Add on that my pc can't even run the constants hd bloat they started implementing a few years ago. I hated this game and deleted it. Now I'm downloading it again because war thunder straight up doesn't run on my pc anymore
>stingers sent out
>free 4500000 credits
thanks wg
>>1773130The only way for you to enjoy this game is actually learn how to play it well
>>1773754I mean we either have that or another broken reward tank.
man, I want to get past wave 2 on brutal, but all I get are endless rentalshitters
>>1774381A lot of people simply won't have a vehicle with a realistic chance of completing it, of course the game doesn't tell you that.
Did these lootboxes sell well? Do you see many of the tanks that were in them at top tier?
>>1773996Me again. I've aced several vehicles and came up first a few times. Now this game doesn't even run on my pc and war thunder lets me have a free battle before crashing, guess who's winning?
What are the good tech tree tanks for this kinda shit? The T32 is fairly decent if you actually have a crew in it and aren't using the rental. The rest of them are pretty meh. Going down the nations, VK 100 can ram and has armor that usually works. Maybe the 416? I never played it so idk. I imagine the AT15 and Carn are decent. Most of the rest don't look good until you get to Poland with the Kilana. And then I have idea how the Italians are.
>>1774765My best results are with the ho-ri 2, dpm is king in the game mode, gave the type 57 a shot, but the dpm is just not enough Italians and autoloaders will preform poorly because of that
The closest game I had included an AT15, but it was hard to judge because it was one of those games where all 5 players had roughly the same damage
Charioteer is a liability as it has no armor and will instantly evaporate the moment 2 tanks focus it
Haven't seen any ram builds, haven't seen 416 as well, but I doubt it will preform good as the best spot to win is the hilly corner with the destructable buildings
>>1774745Wot was on of the most optimized piece of game in modern time, maybe the new DEI hires ruined it. Try playing on lowest settings

Any deviation from turtles and groms is a waste of your time and the time of the people playing with you. There's no need to go fast like there was the last reason this event came up, so even the shptk isn't needed. This was my first attempt at brutal.
>>1774745list your pc specs? legitimately WOT has to cater to f2p poorfags and ruskies on shitty PCs so i don't see how you're struggling unless you like refused to upgrade for a full decade or some shit
>>1774889I did it with the TS-5 desu
>>1774765If you don't have Turtle/Grom or simillar high dpm TD and don't want to grind Kilana, you can try Caernvaron it's pretty alright
>>1774938Honestly, I forgot that tank existed. That thing would work fine too
>>1774268Winning feels good, that's why. Personally, i dislike seal clubbing because there is no challenge.
The enemy bots are such an exercise in frustration, I have games where they snipe my weakspots from across the map and games where I don't get hit
lmao, this is supposed to entice me to purchase these dogshit boxes?
>>1775400forgot the image like a WG employee
>>1775402More like trying to deter you from gambling. Gambling itself is sometimes unavoidable in real life but should not be for pixels or even money in general, for they're inherently worthless. As what i mean by irl, there are many times you don't have full control over a situation and have to make calculated risk. If you ever go gambling go big, aim for thing money can't buy like political power.
>>1775234Is it any different from playing against the average retard?
Skoda T56 worth a buy? Seems powerful except for pen.
>>1775845It's hard to play in today meta, more of a support tank than proper HT. The low pen sucks and sometimes you just can do shit because you aren't fast as MT to flank. Personally i dislike the fact the tank and would rather play any MT especially with how prevalent TD and SPG are in the random queue currently.
>>1775845It's decent but obviously not the powerhouse it was in 2020.
>>1775845in 2021, the 920 damage burst on the skoda t56 absolutely clapped people.
in 2025, the 6-8 TD meta makes any tier 8 heavy tank extremely painful to enjoy playing nowadays. i would not, but you need to give us more info to go on. do you at least have pink bounty equipment, what other premiums do you have, do you have a crew ready for it, etc...
>>1775869Nah I probably won't then, I don't have any special crew or equipment for it and I have quite a lot of tier 8 premiums already. I'll stick to my Lowe and Scorpion.
>mfw picked the golden dragon missions and you have to spot 2k damage in one of them
>>1776340Time to bring your elc
>shooting afk tanks will ban your account forever
Jesus fucking Christ
Are WG intentionally trying to destroy world of tanks?
New chems dropped, time to update my opinions again.
>>1776881I like the Lesta version for what it is (region-locked F2P game with chinese gacha-tier mechanics), but only as that. Their maps are better and their lemming playerbase makes for more fun and unpredictable matches but the positives end there.
just before the end of the battlepass, I managed to collect enough points to get 3 crew and 3 camos
the camos don't have a limit of purchase unlike the crews
https://tass.com/society/1967959
Are we going to get an exodus of Russian players?
>>1781347More importantly, what will chems play now?
Happy new battle pass day! I'm going to play all my rank 4 and 5 tanks until they can't earn bp points any longer.
>>1781911>playing anything below tier 8why do you hate yourself, anon?
>>1781913you could ask that to anyone still playing this game desu.
>>1781916True, but anything in the low tiers is especially bad
>>1781917What is bad about low tiers?
Lefh and the extremely rare pz 4/5 and kv 220?
>>1781934Lower earnings, having to deal with the much faster firing mid tier arty, and +2MM being way more punishing in any tank below tier 8
>>1781913luv me chaffee camo, luv me spottin, luv me assist, ate heavies, ate pens.
>>1781936the higher up the tiers you go, the more unfair it is
T6 is absolutely abysmal, but T5 is fine
>>1781347Nah, russians will never be able to play on WG servers because they will probably ban it in russia (since the boomers in all governments are retarded it will be the same kind of ""ban"" of instagram and youtube where they more likely than not will be able to access the service with a vpn).
Lesta has been labeled as an extremist by the court which means that they will need to cease their activity but this is obviously retarded because wot (or whatever they call it there) in general is very popular in eastern europe (they just like commie shit and most people there still live with a 20th century mentality and anything patriotic/ussr related is an infinite money glitch) and it makes gorillions in revenue, much more than wargaming on EU+NA combined and they obviously have much higher playercounts.
Lesta transfered control of the company to the government and from there it will be assigned to some other company in russia, Lesta also sent an appeal of the court's decision but more likely than not it will be rejected
The whole mess really started after that WG 50tp bundle and donations to ukraine/their armed forces (or funds related to them), at the same time Lesta tried to never show anything political related but as soon as the court decision dropped the other day they made a bunch of posts in their official telegram of donations and volunteer work for the russian armed forces, which in turn means that Lesta (or whatever company takes its place) might be banned in EU actually due to this.
In general whoever is the CEO of wargaming has been kinda playing a double game because Lesta also has a subsidiary in some other country, maybe he wanted to get the cash from russians and EU+NA while simpatizing to EU, but now that the link was discovered (especially after lesta posts) he will be pressed by the EU too.
tldr:
some russian rich faggot wants a piece of the pie and uses the wg ukraine donations to get the company and their assets
cont.
>>1782616there's also the fact that Lesta is using the licenses from Wargaming, if Wargaming recalls them (meaning all assets of the game) then they won't be able to use them or the game won't receieve updates, so now there will be a long ass battle for copyright and licensing
also Lesta employees might start leaving but Lesta's support of russia kinda makes that more difficult because they won't be able to get a job in western companies (wg for instance) due to the political stance
this is actually so funny to watch in real time
>>1781936I did play tier 4 today, completed 4 BP levels, and it was shit. Not for any reason you said here but basically because how terrible and passive all teammates are at this tier.
all of these war themed battlepasses offer really good 2d camos, the normandy one from last year was great
>>1782616They'll probably just nationalize Lesta and and it will operate as is, similarly how the McDonald's was seized but got rebranded and continues to operate
>>1782740Transatlantic and Free France are pretty nice
how is the 48 fatton nowadays, I have the M60 and I like it
>>1787115It's alright but it just feels like Centurion but worse in every way
How do I do gud in the conqueror? The huge weakspot on top makes playing this tank suck.
>>1788523meme answer:
ditch the line and start grinding the double barrel bongs, conq line offers absolutely no upsides
non-meme answer:
raise your gun and wiggle (but not too much) after firing, the weakspot is deceptively sized
conq has good gun handling, so you can just pop out deliver your shot and return to cover
you get 300k credits if you already have the M10 RTFT and 350k if you have the 3d style
When did the E-50M become a good tank? When I was playing years ago everyone considered it shit.
>>1788548>armor mediocre, dpm bad, german so gun is half as accurate as listedIt's a passable all-rounder but you'd do better in a lot of other mediums. At least you can ram to try to make up some of the DPM you lose by picking it.
The storyline for Raumfpanzer was good. Im a sucker for scifi. Shame the lootbox nonsense was so bad.
Had some fun games in tier 4 and grinding out the battle pass. Got max bp points for the Panzer 3 J, Stug 3 B, Matlida and T6 medium. Now looking into what tanks I enjoy the most in tier 5. Nice to play lower tiers sometimes without all the sweats.
>>1788548E-50M is decent but I wouldn't call it good.
Good hull armor doesn't mean much with a weak turret face, good luck digging other hulldown tanks out with that drawback. Can't really stealth around by having about 6% less base camo than other popular mediums like batchat and leopard 1
E-50M is only considered good in onslaught because of the close quarters DPM ability, module hp boost so it stopped getting damaged and base HP boost so it could actually live against heavies and autoloaders to pump out said DPM...
>>1789072The only way to enjoy the game is to get better at it. I hope you spend your time in low tier to master the basics.
Is the IS-7 line worth the grind? I'm just looking to do solid no nonsense heavy tank stuff.
>>1799930Not great, not terrible
A bit lacking on the armor side until you actually reach the IS7 and that tank still preforms great at T10
>>1799930It has no armor if you play it like a traditional HT. If you play meme speed build in platoon then it kind of works, but still very hard to play; hulldown is another viable option but it lack gun depression. You better off grinding the double barrels brit HTs as it's much easier to play thanks to its good armor + gun.
I always enjoy tears from T8 premium tank shitters, but this one was weird
I had no gameplay interactions from this fag and he drowned
>>1803563Prolly mistaken you for someone else
the new gameplay mode is fun
>>1803651Hitting for 1.2k with kv2 is hilarious
>>1803651I agree, the most fun i had in a while

Is there a reason why 121B is better in pretty much every way to 121?
>>1812195It was exclusive to clan war, so ofc it has to be better than TT version.
>>1812294it was dog shit for most of the time it actually was an exclusive cw reward tank
it only became on par with other 390 alpha meds after they buffed it years later and was already made available to the plebs for bonds
if it had no 350mm HEAT pen there still would be next to no reason to play it because it has no gun depression and heels kinda sluggish for a med that only pretends to have armor
>>1812436It's not that far off the 121 anyway. The 121 has 50 alpha which allow it to trade better while having the same soft-stats. In reality, the 121 is actually when playing in pub
https://youtu.be/oVcqNNE8p_k
>>1812692Actually better when playing in pub
>>1812195>5 degrees of gun depressionDoesn't matter, both unusable.
Any good/fun lower tier tank recommendations for playing equalize? Might try something like a Cromwell or T 25.
>>1815029Tiger 1 gets 395 alpha and 350mm pen
>>1815029all ammo is free
T7 bongoloid wheely is fun
Started playing WoT, got all the way to Leo PTA, Jagdtiger, have some cool prems like the Skorpion, Bourrasque, LT-432 etc. But I eventually quit and played War Thunder instead, and I honestly find it more fun right now despite the stupid planes killing my tanks. Im at BR 6.7, should I even come back to WoT?
>>1819165Just play whatever more fun. I also play WT and the amount of rng bullshit along with cas and horrendous grind just makes it a much worse game than. Getting shot at the track facing enemy and somehow it bounce up and pen the hull is daily occurrence. I gave up at 8.0 France.
Been busy playing WoWS and haven't played WoT since Christmas last year.
How's the game now?
>>1820915Stale and more lootboxes.

>>1825702another "what if we put turret on other tank" premium tank
incredible
>>1825730Yeah, but the turret is weaker than the concept 1b by virtue of not having the weird bump on the front hull like the concept does that hides the weak chin. Good dpm though, at least, minus the lack of rammer.
I could see the guy giving up when the 4th shell bounced
3/4 of these shells were when I was at ~100 HP
+2/-2 seems to be back with a vengeance, I love fighting XM57's in tier 6 heavies.

>>1830139That's 2k combine on a shit tank.
Thread must live. Any gryphon buyers in here?
>>1834710Nah, too poor this time. WG started to monetize their game like crazy. Also, the fact that they gatekeeping new premium tanks to lootboxes make me too depressed to even playing.
>>1834710I'm waiting for September/October mega patch. After buying Lion there's nothing for me to chase anymore in the game, both vehicles and mission campaign wise

desu it might be cool to have a tracker that shows DPG, or winrate, or even "tank rating" so you can go "Huh, that guy has good stats, I can rely on him"
I think the Tomb Raider tank is the IMT which is pretty shit. Hard pass.

What a disaster good - fuck Wargaming.
>>1838140It's not that I don't necessarily want it, I just don't have the resources to spare for it and it's only "okay"
It doesn't have the performance and cool factor of the DBV, which I absolutely don't regret buying since it's just Grille but good

I recently discovered the magic of the experimental turbo and how it goes like beans and toast with mid tier turreted TDs

T2 increases top speed as much as bounty turbo and gives extra traverse
EU team wins AMD tournament. NA and China in shambles.

>it's another first victory wasted because you chose the wrong lane and faced no enemy tanks episode
>>1844040Shit happens. At least your wr stats don't go down. I would take 1k dmg win than 3-4k and lose.
The XM57 is such a busted piece of shit, how can I get one too?

I've got the 121b and almost got the M60, any more bond tanks worth getting after that or should I spend them on equipment in future?
>>1847632122 TM
M10 RTFT and panzer 4 schmaldturn if you are a weirdo
>>1820864I don't know why everyone tells that WT grind is horrendous when WoT economy is pure garbage. It strikes me that Tier 10 cost 6.1kk without equipment, meanwhile most expensive vehicle in WT costs only 1.1kk + 0.3kk (crew).
>>1847890I've unlocked some tier 10's but I don't play them very often as it's ridiculously easy to get into credit debt, Wargaming should really introduce a system like in WT where if you have premium time you just get 0 credits instead of a minus figure. Got a bunch of Tier 9 premiums I like to play instead with good crews/equipment where you can use gold most of the time and still make loads of credits.
>>1847913Then everyone would be loading full gold and every expensive consumable imaginable. At least WT economy doesn't have the same problem as WoT where everything past mid tiers becomes exponentially expensive for no reason and playing OP premiums is a must to keep playing what you like.
>>1847930It's almost like the gold ammo system and consumables are a bad idea.. Doing that would be the lesser of two evils for me though and I'd actually play tier 10 sometimes. War Thunder is better in some ways but worse in others. If you have a top tier tech tree tank in WT as long as you have premium time you can expect to make Silver Lions each match and you don't have to worry about anything. However getting there is the first place is a nightmare and the grind is absolutely insane, even with premium time and vehicles. Air isn't so bad to grind, but I'm gussing they just kept cranking up the RP needed for ground as it's their most popular mode. WT and WoT are both simply a case of pick your poison. I hope Steel Aces doesn't suck so it provides some much needed competition.

>>1847938I almost forgot about that game. I even have closed beta test invite, but I didn't want to sign an NDA. Still there is no way any studio can keep up with amount of vehicles WT or WoT has.
In terms of getting to top tier: True, going for top tier in big 3 (USA, USSA, Germany) is a nightmare. But smaller nation like Sweden, Japan or France won't take you that long. Its even easier now with folders.
I haven't played this piece of shit for almost a decade, and back then it was still considered a dead game. All of the faggots here are either WG shills, that want to keep a game in coma for longer that Schumacher alive, or genuine retards with money.

Anyone else getting the Duke tank? It looks.. alright I guess but not great, good for ridgelines. Worth it for 3500 gold imo.
>>1848785If you bought the DZT a while ago, you already have a better tank. Unless you are a Duke Nukem fan, I see no reason to waste time.
>>1848797I have that, it's a good fun tank but they seem pretty different. TS-6 has better gun handling and depression as well as being a heavy. DZT you need to be more aggressive. Both have very good turret armour though.
I kinda want the TS-6 but genuinely not sure I'm willing to put the effort in to grind it
>>1847632Iโd hold it for whatever the september update will be like (tier 11) or clan wars bidding

don't use premium consumables and spam premium ammo and if you are not a shitter, you will gain credits, however T10 is not where credits are made
Exploit the frontlines mode to make bank
T8 and by extension 6 and 7 are destroyed beyond salvage due to the extreme power disparity between regular and premium tanks
>>1853375Why do you think people have 50-100m to spare in black market? They farmed them during xmas with premium tanks. Tier 10 is gold sink and it's not even enough that's why BM was born.

Tomorrow is France and will probably be shit I don't have though like the Somua SM or Lorraine 40t and then, I'm not really sure what they'd offer for the Prototipo slot
Char Murat for money? SFAC 105 for money? I would probably buy the SFAC 105
lmao nvm apparently the "French" offer is live on Asia
I was right about the Somua SM - 11,450 gold
The other tank is the fucking KV-4 Turdchanov for cash LMAO
Who the fuck would pay for that piece of shit?
>>1859504My favorite thing is if you hover over the purchase for the KV-4 (it's live on NA now) the URL says "Day6" so clearly it was meant to go under the Snowy Plains day as part of a Russian bundle (and then you buy the Russian 752 on day 6 with the full discount, Bravo Nolan) but instead they somehow fucked it and put it in the French day
I'm gonna fuckin laugh when Day 6 has a French tank for cash and a Russian tank for gold.
man, I had a 6k damage IMT game in T10 a couple of hours ago, but forgot to take a screenshot to display it here for brownie points

>Russian tank in French day

Will there be a Russian tank in the Czech day tomorrow? Fuckin' probably, it's either that or Skoda T.56 for cash + TVP for Gold.

But no, they phone it in with absolute dogshit Russian tanks that nobody in their right mind wants
NOBODY sane is buying the KV-4 Tur or the KV-4 KTTS, it's literally just wasting slots and with minimal hyperbole it has ruined an event that could've been pretty cool
Like I don't want to call flip the card and buy product a GOOD event but they could've added a cool French tank to buy yesterday and a cool German tank for gold today and the event would be neat, I was kinda hoping and coping for the Kpz Rh for gold today and they shit all over that hope with the KV-4 KTTS

holy fuck, both premium chaffees are too good to be released for free
>>1864584They all have downside. The one with dps has no speed and the one with accuracy has no dpm
>>1864810The Lis is fine, it's a decent enough all-rounder that doesn't really lack anywhere
The C trades everything (mildly effective armor, decent accuracy, decent alpha and DPM) for mobility which is great until you get into position and realize you can't actually do anything there because you're in a lemon

Alt Proto is kinda neat for gold

752 is worth it (although I already pigged it out on Black Friday)

What a nothingburger of an event
>>1865708E 75 TS is a pretty good credit grinder for me but depends on your playstyle, it's like a Lowe that has traded a bit of armour for speed. You could do much worse.

>>1865710>>1865736E75 TS has shit gun tho, the gun has huge bloom.
And you are tall, so that -8 gun dep doesn't feel like enough.
>>1865839Sucks man, they dropped the Prototipo which is a really good lootbox tank that had no right being sold direct for cash this soon, getting everyone's hopes up
Personally I fucking despise the Bisonte and think it's one of if not the worst T8 tanks in the entire game, but that seems to just be me and plenty of other people like it so Day 1 was this really solid day with two Italian tanks on offer, one undeniably almost too good to be true
And then they just push absolute horseshit for the rest of the days.
they believe that the obj 277(version) II is better than the phease. I already bought it with battle pass tokens.
>>1866846my only problem is their domes, but I still block a lot of damage on hills
>>1866846It's always better to have gun depression but i would rather play the char futur
I fucking hate it when I have 4 teammates remaining and I have to carry them against 3 enemies
All of these morons were on more than 60% HP
I had to find the fucking artillery and su-130
>>1867721Learn to plat bro. Your dmg won't be high but your wr and game enjoyment is through the roof. Last session with my triple plat we get over 80% wr with almost no effort.
>>1867885I believe that there needs to be a balance between fun and farming, or at least I stop and think about what my real goals are.
>>1867885My platoon buddies left the game when the spaghetto was nerfed in favor of the nestle lion
None of my irl friends play this game anymore
>>1868809You can always make new frens in-game. If you see anyone with stats around yours and communicate with you then just plat up and add frens at the end of session. I made tons of plat bros like that and they like it too because we win so much, there is a session we win like 25 matches without a loss.
