279(e) Missions - Tips and Tank Choices / Guide - 2021
LoverJoy replied to Snoregasm2's topic in Metagame Discussion
Make a list of all the missions and single out the ones you think you are going to struggle with and then start completing the easier missions first. For me that was 2 Top guns in 12 games for Union, 30 internal modules 10 games in both Coalition/Alliance, Spot/track 20 kills in 10 games for Alliance and 5 medals in 10 games for Coalition. I hadn't played any Bloc missions at the point where I started looking at completing the missions so I decided to skip that tree, I probably had 5-10 of the easiest missions done on Union/Coalition/Alliance at that point. It sounds like you should -

I banned Studz and Minsk ages ago and didn't look back. After reading this I decided to ban Paris and Empire's Border instead.

Poor Financial Decisions 2020 Edition (lootboxes)
LoverJoy replied to Deus__Ex__Machina's topic in Metagame Discussion
Bought 100 boxes and got: About 38k gold Bourasqsws Bisconte ISU All tier 5/6 tanks? But only once, no extra gold for me A swarm of Locusts, like a dozen at least and a bunch of the other wee tanks as well All 3D styles, I had all of the old ones from before Didn't look at my prem days or credit before opening the boxes, but I'd guess I got about 50-100 days and 8M credits -

I never had any illusions that I would like this tank after not managing to do well in the Charioteer. And after having played about 40 games I truly despise it. I feel the only good thing about it is the rate of fire. Harnessing the DPM feels impossible with the terrible turret rotation, low gun depression and trashy gun handling. I constantly miss shots at 100-200m when trying to minimize exposure which is really frustrating. The top speed of 35 does not in my mind make the tank mobile, although you can relocate when needed. No armor, even the "300mm" gun mantle is mostly 150mm. I do re

Please do. I'm curious about how to play this tank. Although I have done better than I expected in my five games so far.

T22sr to be new Tier X reward tank for Personal Missions
LoverJoy replied to Constie's topic in Upcoming Changes Discussion
Having BIA for free makes the rest of the skills a lot cheaper. Getting the 3rd skill from 0 to 100 for males requires 840k exp, for females it is only 420k. 4th skill 1,6M vs. 0,8M. I would say they are strictly better. But yes, you have to do some planning to make sure you have the right amount of females for the tanks you want them to end up in. -
I once boiled potatoes while playing Civ. They were black halfway through after sitting on the stove for a couple of hours after all the water evaporated. <3 Civ An other time I left my casserole in the oven overnight. It was well done but tasted a little burnt.

How much extra XP do you get for killing everyone?
LoverJoy replied to Canadian_Reaper's topic in Metagame Discussion
http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Battle_Mechanics#Experience_and_Credits 1 XP for each cap point as well as a bonus for each capper if you get to 100. So if you can get it all yourself you get over 100 XP. Which probably is more than you get for killing 1 low hp tank or getting one shot in. -
Credit and gold resource management strategies
LoverJoy replied to FlorbFnarb's topic in Metagame Discussion
Only buy the summer camo. Over half of the maps use it. Buy tanks, equipment, crew and consumables when they are on sale. Everything except for ammo is on sale regularly. Don't sell modules that you are going to use on other tanks in the future. -
Holding your fire button?
LoverJoy replied to BlitzReaper's topic in Core Skills & Mechanics Discussion
Yes, when if I am fully aimed and they are standing still. Also when driving in my fast tanks and have auto-aimed on the enemy. I feel it is good when you now you are going to hit or when you know you won't be aiming. -

I'm doing that as well. Then I get artied, which usually negates the question... -
The FV304 is really good for some of the missions that don't require you to do over 2k damage.

Sweet! I just moved the dudes out and moved my old Cromwell crew in. Guess I have to switch them back. I would have probably bought the 3-pack if I had known this, good marketing by WG.

Hey1 I'm in dire need of help. I feel my map and situational awareness sucks and that gets me killed way too often in faster tanks.

Are you sure this crew works as the females? Is there any information about it anywhere?

You can see them in your service record. You have to choose a specific tank and then choose the Awards tab on the right. Only available for higher than tier 5 or 6 tanks. https://eu.wargaming.net/support/Knowledgebase/Article/View/528/18/

Is Average XP a good measure of 'skill'?
LoverJoy replied to Gypsy_Slayer's question in Ask a Purple Poaster
Here you can see how xp is gained from a battle. http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Battle_Mechanics#Experience_and_Credits The problem with XP as a measure of skill is the large difference in winning and losing, and how easy it is to pad with platoons. As well as the post game Team Performance Factor, for example games that are capped out fast yield very low XP as the team does no damage and this is often out of the individual player's hands(although this applies to WN8 too but for different reasons). Another thing that screws this up is the winner bonus for getting Courageous Resistanc -
Things to know that will help you in WoT (Garage Edition)
LoverJoy replied to crookanator's topic in Casual Purple
Step 4. Depot and Barracks Under the battle button you'll find the Depot and Barracks buttons. In these screens you can see what you have as far as modules, shells, and crew members that are and aren't on/in your vehicles. Sort the depot (under the modules tab) Check not compatible with my vehicles. (SELL ALL THAT STUFF it = $$$$$$) I would not sell modules that are going to be used on other tanks. For example most German tanks use the same radios and the mid tier guns also fit on a lot of tanks. Saving the modules for future tanks will save you money as you only get 50% of the price -

You can change the colors in TS Overlay to make silent people in the channel invisible. I have 2 monitors but I prefer to have the Overlay show the speakers in the gamescreen instead of looking at the other monitor in the middle of the game. I tried Overwolf but never got it setup in a fashion that would have satisfied my needs.

Wait for the tanks that you want to go on sale, never buy them at full price. This will save you lots of credits in the long run. Same for equipment and consumables, you can buy lots of these when they are 50% off and sell them off if you need to when they are at normal price for no loss in credits.
