Poor financial decisions 2022 edition report:
Went for 80 boxes (the 20 for each type package) which is all I can spare this year to drop on this game.
$4,500,000 credits.
29,850 gold
58 days premium time
Skins for the Object 268v4, FV 4005 (last year), the Super Conq, the new Strv one, and the Rino.
1 SU-2-122 (the double barreled low-tier TD)
1 PZ.38H
1 PZ.KW1
2 M3 Light
2 Harry Hopkins
3 'big' premiums - got the Char pretty early (within 20 boxes), then the Iron Arnie with my 50-box pity mechanism, and then the BZ in the last set of 10 boxes, so pretty lucky.
Overall better than last year, on account of nailing 3 of the main premiums. I also got about 2k more gold compared to last year, although less premium time (although this doesn't really matter as I still had over 300 days on my account as it keeps getting topped up by Battle Pass). I'm also pretty happy with the skins I got, the Super Conq and the FV one are very nice.
The event itself this year is way worse though - far more grindy and with a lot of dumb/useless gimmicks that I'm not interested in. Not a fan.

@Rexxie I love a big fat whale cock in the morning, thanks!
@Balthazars Yes, the biggest value and rng is in the high tier premium tanks
-
Hi @Rexxie! Your cock is beautiful.
Spent my annual $250 bucks for enough in game shit that I remain addicted for another year for a few successive hits of dopamine.
Proceed to play game - and remember that I have not idea how to play this game.

Obviously it's just a quirk of statistics, but sometimes WOT really feels like you end up with 'cursed' tanks - for example, AMX 50-120, crappy tank. DPG worse than a whole slew of my tier 8s. 52% win rate after 220 games. AMX M4 51 - great tank. 12th highest DPG tank in my garage, higher than a good chunk of tier 10s. 45% win rate after 100 games.

Statistics do be quirky like that some times.
While none of them are exactly cursed for me, here's a quirk of statistics regarding my VK7201K and AMX M4 54
I have similar DPG in both tanks. Both are 1-marked, climbing towards 2nd mark. Both have winrates around 60% (a bit higher for VKK). 150 games in VKK, 107 in AMX (not counting Onslaught).
The VKK has probably my highes ace/game ratio. I've had 6 or 7 ace tanker games in it so far.
The AMX, with similar mastery reqs, not even a first class! Lots of 2nd class games though. -

Recently started playing the Progetto 46 in randoms (ironically had only played it in Frontline prior to this) to see if it's still got it despite the power-creep. Conclusion: Pretty much yes - the squishyness gets you in trouble with the HE changes on occasion, but a 4,930 damage, 760 assist, 6-kill and 1,354 base XP game is apparently still only a first class badge.

I don't think the Prog 46 got power crept. In fact, when the Italian Meds got nerfed, the Prog got buffed, because while it lost the ability to mount a rammer, it got the rammer boosts as its base reload, and now has an extra slot to play with. I recently 3 marked it, and still pull off monster games in it both as a scout and as a damage dealer. I just uploaded a near-6k dmg game in it a few days ago -- check my thread!

So interestingly it seems that WG has decided that WoT needs a bit of love and attention after not doing very much other than churning out lots of special modes for a while. All of a sudden they're going whole hog - lots of vehicle balancing changes, map balancing changes, a new map (and a second on the way early next year), and a new tank line. I wonder what changed...

My guess is that there's new managment somewhere in the chain of command. Probably got the job after WG pulled out of russia and belarus. The new managment is most likely less jaded and beaten down and looking for "positive engagement" or something. We'll see how long this holds up.

So, because I'm silly, decided to throw about 500k free XP (I stockpile it pretty quickly these days as I'm not grinding many lines and generally do grinds anyway), a bunch of blueprints not getting used, and 4 million credits at WG to get the new tier 10 tank (which doesn't even look that special). I feel kind of dirty.

@Devo Yes, they are completely sold out now on NA, so less than 24 hours. I'm sure WG is pretty happy with that. I haven't taken mine out for a spin, mostly because the MM is absolutely infested with them at the moment and I refuse to add to that crapshow, but also because it is a weird 3-crew setup and I don't have a good 3-person Russian crew that I can use. I definitely get troll bounces firing at it so far, but I'm sure when I play it, everything will pen constantly. Looks like that kind of tank to me.
