So the Super Conq is on track. I already have that entire line unlocked but am thinking of re-buying the Caenarvon. Is it still worth getting after the buffs?

Did the STA2 get buffed during the Japanese medium rework?

He describes the STA2 in detail. lt is faster, reverses better, and has a narrow block of armour. ls it worthwhile? Well it is alright, not as good as T-44 Hundred
--It gained alot of gun mantle armour, not the turret just the gun case.
--It gained 23km/hr reverse speed, up from twenty
--it pretty much gained 2.5HP/Tonne more
lnteresting to note the tech tree equivalent, STA1 got megabuffed in comparison. STA1 has great DPM now, whereas STA2 DPM remained mediocre.

Anyone play EuroTruck or American Truck simulators? Have been seriously thinking of getting into them. Look very much like something I'd love. Also seems pretty relaxing while challenging at the same time.

I just played through the demos of both ATS and ETS2, unfortunately I do not have a wheel so used the keyboard. I can imagine though that it's much more enjoyable with a wheel. Might have to invest into one. I really enjoyed both games but ETS2 does feel like it has more going for it, like the world is fuller in it, the maps are more fleshed out.

Foch 155 is the last offering on the BM. I'm glad I grabbed the Blackdog when it was available because not much else was all that interesting. I probably would have picked up the Death Star but not for 23M. That's simply ludicrous.

Meh, I got the Panzer V/IV for giggles, the tier 3 shitter TD and because I had 50 million credits and nothing much to spend on I splurged on the Foch 155 for the memes (already had the deathstar). Might have not gotten the Foch and bought the IS-6 for memes if it had been sold for credits but I'm certainly not paying gold for that turd.

Seal clubbers everywhere, put your bibs on. The Pz II J is coming to BM for 15k gold.
Wasn't WG complaining about new player retention or something?
-
Looks like Caenarvon AX will be following the Alpine Tiger in the BM for 9M credits.
I don't have one but I have a Patriot which is a similar tank in terms of play style, although I really don't like it. Is it worth getting?

Getting a tier 8 premium for 9 mil was nice at first. Then I remembered some people wasted a bajillion hours to get it during a marathon and now it's also kinda fucking hilarious.

Seems like the Death Star is the next offering on the Black Market. Only for a cool 23M credits. I personally don't have one and am not enticed at all about this deal. Is that strange?

I've been bouncing this idea around in my head the last couple of weeks. Is the rammer really that important on all tanks? For example, lights. Their reloads for the most part are fast and a rammer takes off a very marginal amount of time off of that. For example going from 4.8 to 4.32 secs. Would I be really hampering myself with using vents instead? And in reality, just how often does one get to realize the actual DPM?
Also, please excuse me if this is simply a dumb idea.

This is something that was argued about even back in my day (hence the article) and I honestly just can't support playing without a rammer if you aspire to be a better player, even if it's inefficient for your current play.
Kolni's mention of "it depends on how good you are at keeping your dpm up" is really crux of the issue - if you aren't good at keeping your DPM up, Rammer seems less useful - what use is rammer really if you're just going to be waiting for another player to make a mistake so you can shoot again? I think this is really the underlying argument when players suggest it's unnecessary.
The problem with this is it isn't how top players actually play the game. You're not hitting server records by playing the waiting game of reactionary play; there isn't enough time in a match for that to be feasible. If I wanted to keep 4k or whatever else I was jacking off to, I was going to have to put myself in positions where my damage was limited by how fast I could chamber the next round, not by how many times Xx_T34R64_xX would eat dirt in front of me.

@DirtyACE7 sorry for the late reply ben busy lately. My general rule of thumb is that if, without vstab, it has the same soft stats of a Obj140 with Vstab or better, then it does not need it. So practically only the t100lt and few others like the combat cars.
But you could try going for a rammer as it has very good aim time and the turret dispersion is very little. It all depends on how much your exposure time is. If you feel you aim for too long and increases your exposure too much then you need it.
Another thing you could is because the reload is so low anyway, just dont aim you shots, like I do with the Cromwell. The problem is if you get spotted you risk trading 180 for a lot of your HP.
@Rexxie the problem with the LT's dpm is that it is a lie: many shots either miss or bounce and the risk of getting hit for most of you HP is a big possibility. So your effective dpm is trash. Mistakes with LTs can be greatly punished because of how easy it is to hit them.
Imo it is more efficient supporting by tracking and spotting rather than trying to be a dmg dealer.

Is there any reason to free xp all the top modules on the Bulldog? Seems like it's about the same minus some view range when stock.
-
WZ-132A, be gone you filthy, cancerous swine of a tank. Simply rage-inducing. Every. Single. Game. Free XPed the last 35k to get the tier 10.

@Oicraftian I actually really enjoyed the tier 8. Worked really well for me. Accuracy wasn't amazing by any means but solid enough. Tier 9 on the other hand is a disgusting pile of trash.
-
Played the Skorp yesterday. 10 losses in a row? The closest one was 5-15. Huh? Wtf?
Tried tooning with a couple purples. 30% win rate. LOL. Is the WoT player base getting dumber and dumber?
-
So WG NA decided to change the On-Track missions, for whatever reason. Now you need to acquire 25k xp within 24 hours in order to progress to various stages. FFS! Really? Why the fuck do this? What was wrong with how it was set up originally? Once again, fuck WG.

I'd like to ask for tips for dealing with nerves and frustration with this game. Please don't suggest alcohol or drugs. I actually have a desire to play but my fuse is seems to not only be short but pretty much non-existent lately. Is there any specific things I should focus on during matches that help with staying calm and composed? I have been playing this game for four years and this is still my greatest struggle by far. I know that if I can stay calm, then I will play a shit ton better. When I'm frustrated/flustered I pretty much become a retard.
-
How does one play WZ-132A? I'm being totally serious. I cannot break a 44% win rate. I go from games where I either cannot hit a single thing, everything bounces or critical hits, or I do hit shots and still lose the battle because a third of the team does 0 damage.
I'm ripping my hair out with this tank.

Yeah i'm using optics, vert stab and vents. Still can't do shit. Just constant loses. Either I cannot hit or pen anything or my teams simply melt in first two minutes. Game after game. Not happening in any other tanks, just this fucking thing. I'm totally confused with this tank. What am I supposed to be? A shitty light or a shitty med? Because right now neither one is working, at all.
-
You lose because lights can't really carry anymore, plus pubbies can't be relied upon for actually hitting their shots or getting in good positions to rape what you spot.
It's the nature of random battles. And it's a shame you can't use tier 5/7/9s in skirmishes anymore, was great to grind them there.

Oh good, the weekend is here. Trash comes out of the woodwork and games become 2-15 and 3-15 fests with at least a quarter of your own teams doing 0 damage game after game.
-
WZ-132A, played 20 games, 14% win rate. Is this tank programmed to lose?
-
with the wheelies around it definitely puts the 132-1/132A in a really weird playstyle. I'm still adjusting to it in the chinese scouts. they play almost like an anti-wheelie/counter position but its odd. enough armor to be effective against them frontally, but not quiet enough alpha to really scare them off immediately.

Anyone else get homicidal feelings from WoT? This is the only thing in my life that gives me such feelings.
-
WTF is up with Frontlines? How can one get 11 defense games and only 3 attack? Why is this happening?
Also, which is better, air strike or artillery barrage?
-
The arty barrage at full does a lot more damage if it connects, but is smaller AoE than the air strike. I prefer the former to the latter purely because if you land it it's a definite lock-in-place track damage and decent HP damage (enough to kill soft targets) which can be very important for stopping people on cap. The Air Strike lacks killing power in my opinion, but is better at hitting multiple targets at once or those in awkward positions for the arty.

Obj 430, yet another cursed tank. How oh how do I win more than 40% of the games in it?
-
Playing T28 Prototype (E4 on track). Dying of cancer at 28km/h and a 0.35 accuracy gun that might as well be 0.55 accuracy.
-
What's the verdict on the Lansen C? I'm not finding any threads about it. I also got a 20% coupon and wondering whether this tank is worth getting.

I bought it... idk dirty, idk. IDK if it's for you. I know how much you hate getting artied, and... well... I still have XVM camo so I didn't get targeted the 1 game I played mine, but I can't imagine you having a good time with it, especially if you get arty focused. It's literally made of paper.
The good side.. OK gun, dispersion doesn't allow you to consistently snipe. I find myself usually firing twice to hit target when sniping. The speed is nice. The gun handling is ok, feels comfortable. It feels like it's designed to run around with other mediums and quickly eliminate tanks doing the whole peek-a-boo over a hill kind of play.
People are saying the Sabaton is better, due to turret, but... the lansen does have the alpha over it. Like Deus said, it's a tier 8 leo, without the German accuracy.More than a tier 8 leo... I feel like it's a faster ravioli.

Do the females that were awarded via Christmas boxes expire at some point? Do I have to assign them to a tank before a certain date?
- Show previous comments 4 more

WG stated they have no expiration date this year. Since they introduced the new garage tab, all earned crewmembers stay in Barracks until recruited for specific tank. Wells had a claim expiration date for claiming via prime loot, she would have also stayed in barracks if credited to your account but not assigned to a tank.
-
@erikred Thanks for the clarification.
-
Stopped focusing on winning and simply getting as much damage as possible. Suddenly the game is more enjoyable and much less stressful. Still getting the wins though.
-
2 ideologies to win.
Play for the win (support flanks, flex when other flank is failing, kill the 1 shots, etc. etc.) vs do as much damage as possible, to ensure your win.
Maybe all along, you just needed the "f it, screw everyone else, i'm going to play my game" and damage farming = your way of ensuring you win? Maybe high dpm tanks with good mobility = your play style/

Has anyone gotten the special Twitch Prime bundle for WoT? I was thinking of doing it but I do not want to pay for Amazon Prime for a whole year. Is it possible to get the bundle without having to commit to paying for any subscriptions?
