Explain.

Trap set, trap sprung 

I concur, not good for the game, but it is fun to drive. It should make camping harder, but I think it makes people camp even more. 

how much gold do you need to free exp to tier 10?

@westybig I cannot recall 100% accuracy, but I think I needed like... 9k gold was it? I had about 100k? 120k? saved up already. I had tons of gold left from the loot boxes during Christmas, so I have been using that gold to use for convert XP to skip sh*tty tanks in the lines I wanted to go after. I can say... I don't regret my decision, at all. The EBR 105 is completely retarded in WoT, but it sure is hella fun to play. If you don't have the xp/gold, I suggest stopping at the 9 and playing that till you get to the 10, because... playing the 10 and dying quickly = nukes your wn8.

Looks like "Apocalypse now", so jungle camo.

The WZ-132 is fantastic, however, the tier 9 is a pile of vile trash mainly because the developers in all their wisdom decided the tank should have gun handling that of a tier 6 Soviet heavy. It's pretty absurd. I could not break past 47% win rate on that shit bucket.

I'll try playing the WZ-132-A, and see how it performs, compared to my other Tier 9 lights. I remember the RU251 being zippy, but slow shell velocity, and it being really big. The 1390 is nice, T54-LWT was great, T49... well, it's T49. 

1390, T-54ltwt and T49 are in on a different level to the WZ. Those tanks actually belong in tier 9 and the WZ belongs in tier 7.

the RHM pzw is horrid 

Yeah I read about it, and how useless it is in the current game because it's meant to be played as a long range support tank? Why do you think it's so horrid? @Deus__Ex__Machina the no armor w/ low pen? 

Even gold can have issues with penning it. It honestly feels like a tier 9 tank that's one tier lower.

18 battles, 55.56% win rate, 2,038 average damage... 2,613 wn8 so far. I should be finishing up this grind tomorrow... the x5 xp + the x2 additional XP from premium time, with boosters, plus the additional 50% xp booster this weekend... I'm flying through the VK100.01P.  I think I might keep the tank for a while, just in case I need it for missions or something later.

Oh, and FK arty.

You need to hit the cupola dead on, usually with gold unless you have 250ish+ pen on standard rounds. Even a perfect hit still has to go through 220mm of armor. It can bully as top tier but in tier 10 games, and games that are over in 3 minutes, it sucks pretty hard.

I would say no, they are too similar to be worth the 50 bucks when you already have one of them.

What Lama said.

Also having enough armour to force tier 8s and some tier 9s to load gold is good in this autistic meta.

Thanks guys, I think I'm going to skip the paper RU med, and skip it. Save the money for something else!

Congratulations!

at least you didn't complete it, only to realise afterwards that you'd forgotten you'd changed missions while grinding some t7 thing and forgotten to return. 

Got it easy in the old t10 263.

I guess now strv is the way. Or bobject because it's balanced.

Seriously, I would have to hate to start the bobject grind, ffs, I have to start at SU-100. FML.

I played a handful of games, in Tier 10 TD's yesterday trying to grind the mission, 13xx wn8, and 50/50 win to loss ratio... rip. 

I noticed the games I play in big alpha TD's, it's littered with other TD's (JPZE100's, and FV215b 183's). Got close with a JPZE100 game, with 5.8k damage, but not 4 kills so... idk. The first time I almost completed it, I was in a good game with my T30, with 5 kills, 5.8k damage, with a 400 HP progetto 65 left 1v1. I donked the last shot, which should have killed him. The shell went into a building (I'm blaming server lag), while dancing around a building, him circling me, with me trying to turn fast enough. My heart was racing so fast. It still haunts me to this day.

I hate playing with sh*t crew in my TD's. The only TD's I have more than 3 crew skills with is my JPZE100 and Grille, but I can't get my Grille to work to save the life of me. As soon as I fire in my Grille, I get spotted, then focused/swarmed *sigh. Every time I play my JPZE100, it seems arties have a spergasm and just want to nuke the JPZ. Arty shots for 300-400 damage hurts, even if you don't get directly hit, and you have to repair crew (since aim goes to sh*t), and tracked/something broken, and you're starring down your target.

I just want 1 more female Swedish Crew, so I can have 6. 3 for my Kran, and 3 for the new UDES medium... *sigh.

@FavreFan4ever Man... I can't imagine having to try it with a Foch. I have to channel my inner peace and not play so aggressively I feel in 750 alpha TD's, and get swarmed + arty focused.
 

And WG hate LTs. They released a whole new vehicle class (wheeled vehicles) just to fuck them. So I doubt 12t or HWK will get any love. Indien Panzer might though. 

@Haswell faster and easier to poke corners. 

its not even a grind, I bought the t30 and i enjoyed blooping 800's into random tanks with apcr, the trade is the best part. this was the last tank i played before i quit with 83% wr

E4s are poor man's version of the E-100. Sure you get high pen, but you also lose out on everything else.

And the 100 itself is a poor man's 60TP

I always knew you two were bad influences on me! I won't have consistent time until May, but you two playing tanks again might convince me to give it one more go for my French technical engineer badge.

@Matross to be honest, I have no idea who Fancyphil is. Did he go by a different ign before?

I actually didn't play Frontline in its first iteration. Just didn't feel interested but decided to try this time around. It's pretty enjoyable and relaxed as the result doesn't really matter in the overall scheme of things. Just leveling up to get better prizes and grinding silver, which accumulates fast. And it is just tier 8s, which makes playing them fun again. You actually feel like you can do things instead of being xp pinatas for tiers 9 and 10, 90% of the time.

@FavreFan4ever come join in whenever you have a chance!

heh seems like a few of us regressed...i just got back into tanks as well after 6 months out and my aim is bad too...my consistency is poor atm and having to learn all the new maps and where all the fake bushes are (so many now) - i swear they broke spotting in 1.4 or w/e aids version we are on now

sorry for being a bitch to you

Messaged me right after I got hit by 3 tier10 arty in my LT in the first minute of the game.

A lot of it is simply "opening up" the map by taking key targets/points after an initial setup.

There you go Mat. Never too late to learn and improve.

We need to toon again soon.

@Fulcrous EXACTLY!!!! When I was grinding the 5A, playing the WZ, one of my unicum friends told me... just take it to the medium flank and run with the mediums... I thought it was dumb... but... after doing that so many games and farming other mediums... I figured... this is risky, and this is total yolo fail... but if you pick a tangent line to the mediums firing lanes... you create opportunities because the red tanks come to you! Me being the "heavy" player and knowing angles and used to being over run... If I manage to live through more than 4 volley's... its GG. Helping mediums with heaviums goes a LONG way. Also, come clean up time... at end game, you can totally just boss people around with 490 alpha. This game is basically like trigonometry for the first 3 mins of the match.

I wasn't planning to buy it actually. Swedish TDs really don't appeal to me and should be nerfed to hell imho, especially the tier 9 and 10.

So how have you been man? Haven't seen you around in a while. Have you been taking a break from the game?

Yes, patched out of the forum software. There is now a discord

But you gotta be zuper nice to Enroh.

Tag, Motherfucker!

While that is annoying, the fact that you were still alive to get hit 7-8 more times is still better. You would have been dead and raging in the 1st or 2nd shot. Being focused over and over by anybody, not just arty is annoying, but it's the price you pay some days. 

Shtahp kemping noob

Chat OFF

Give your sanity a break bro

sub 1.2k wn8? that's a high standard
