Got back into wot, some shitter told me to "solo" him...rest is predictable
 

Hoping for the best for those in Ukraine.. seen some pretty wild footage I’d rather unsee tbh

Christmas Lootboxes 2021 edition report (because I don't really have much else to spend my gaming budget on). 75 boxes for the following results: 5,400,000 credits, 27,550 gold (although this includes gold from duplicate premium tanks) and 76 days of premium time.
1 tier 8 premium - the Swede heavy - probably the least interesting option (I was hoping for a Skoda or 122TM as I don't have either, or at least the Caliban as that has meme potential). I got this after 45 boxes, so did not activate my 'pity mechanism'.
12 of the tier 5 premiums (including 6 of one of them, lol) which really is where my gold value of the boxes went up.
3 of the styles, although only 2 of the new ones (Sheridan and ST-II, got the Maus one from last year).
A second relatively disappointing year for me, although to be honest that's partially because the tier 8 selection is quite underwhelming this year. I feel the gold result was pretty bad to me, it only gets over the raw dollar value because of repeats on the tier 5 premiums. But again, once you throw in the other goddies, they still represent the best value if you're going to spend money on this game - and if you get lucky with the tier 8 premiums, that value significantly jumps.

12 games, 0 wins. And that's with 4.9k average dmg in the Vz. 55.
Why did I start playing again?

Gamers, my long time goal of unicum recents has been achieved has been about ever since I joined this forum.

Well, 279(e) is get. Time to update the guide!

Congratulations!

step by step, little by little, i can already smell 279e (if i finish excalibur 15, im done)

Boop Boop Boop
 

Uni work officially submitted and only grammatical/small math errors that need fixing for a passing degree in data engineering.. so I've got a lot of time on my hands now. 
I decided to commit back fully, only playing tier 10. Tier 9 is still the same, 4kable- but tier 10 is very different since I really quit maining the game. I came back to check my level - and mark the new rewards (Chief was a bitch but 279 was fkn easy lmao no clue what that fuzz is about) and then AFK until I had some free time again usually for about a week every 2 months of stuff I can focus completely on things like this,  it's too much freshware to play every now and then so playing in bursts always does the trick for me - but now my games have been so infrequent lately the past year that there are 3 maps I still have absolutely no clue what to do on, parts of maps I literally haven't visited or can even orientate firing angles at, and mechanically refining still needs work. Decisions made that can only be assumed as lapses of complete intellect happen and my awareness has gone down to roughly 10% slower. Lead preaiming predicting (a third step to pre-aiming where you predict your shots needed lead for as much aim time to happen as possible between swapping aim dot positions is a skill that I can still do on reflex and sometimes all the other parts are also there - not just all of them simultaneously like they used to. Doing this status mainly to mark the date of the commitment so I can go back to it and see the the progression of how long it'll take to get that good at T10 again - estimating about 3 months until 5K DPG on the non OPs but holy shit man, tier 10 is hard now. The difference between tier 9 and 10 (which used to be the closest) is now the one most far apart. looking forward to the grinding process, it's limit testing for now a while until the limit testing turns somewhat reliable into consistent which requires a pretty extensive game count. Wonder what it'll end up being.
 
What I'm doing is the 7th 907 mark to start, spamming until completion (starting at 65%). It's not as good as it used to be in the games current state so it's going to be harder than ever. I've played heavily past week purely limit testing (yoloing ilke a fucking monkey in the 907 with iOptics and directive since I had like 500 of them from event to see the possiblities. 5k combined even in this meta with 530VR is still fairly easy to hold, but I now went back to iVents and rammer directive to see which one progresses more quickly. (I decided to spend 600 bonds on demounting the iVent and use bounties for this so I can swap playstyles at will)
Everything but Carro/that WZQ and 777 and E6 have been done,  and I can't get my hands on the WZQ/777...  
Now I'll stick to one account only btw, makes tracking so much easier. It's on this account I've done all the hardest ones and have everything important but listed above, which have all the CW rewards marked but E6 and VK72, I've done half the T10s on the acc already so it's a great starting point for pure tryhard.
I guess this is my job now for 3 months.. cool ... been a while since it was  
 
 

Ranked got me my very first chat ban I think. Although, honestly, I cannot remember why that would be.

Just got the Chimera. What's the over/under on how long it will take to get the 279?
I'm starting with the arty missions to get them out of the way. 

Just had a 0 - 15 game where every single one of my team was <50% w/r.  The botting in this game is systemic and ridiculous.

Back in November I recieved a BRW Camo and probalby some gold as far as I could remember. 
A single camo is pretty bollocks as you need at least three to make a tank look good. 
But odly enough I couldn´t find my video in the BRW series WG puts on YT. Weeks have passed but still could not find my replay there. But I got a second BRW camo in the meanwhile. Yeah only one to go and I can fully camo a tank <3

But yesterday I finally got a BRW Stile. Finally a full set of camo for all three climate zones. 
Checked the WG EU YT channel but still no replay. 
A clan mate just told me I should check the german WG Channel.
And finally I found it. My Emil video was featured in their Dezember video. 
My 4min of fame 
 
 

Apparently Fadin's medals are like buses - 40k battles without any, then 2 in a month, both with the 13 57 on the SAME MAP:

I will admit, although the E 75 TS gun handling is trash compared to Renegade, there are some things that a Renegade just can't do - http://wotreplays.eu/site/5683054#fjords-snoregasm2-e_75_ts. In I think any other tier 8 there is no way I carry this situation.
Pleased to know 1,861 base XP is an Ace at last - this thing is almost as hard to Ace as the Bourrasque.

Overlord beach does provide some hilarious moments
 

Well I broke my base XP personal best with 2015 base in a KV5?

how2play tier 8 mediums, 2020 ed
tier 8 match without Defenders - feelsgoodman drive to 1 of the 3 corridors on the map enemy wheelie gets spotted, use your awesome soft stats to lead your sub 1k shells miss switch to APCR pound the dirt harder than Caligula smacked the sea meanwhile friendly AMX gets spotted, skillfully ducks in and out of cover while getting shish-kebabbed by 3 or 4 railguns be first to make it the medium hulldown spot
spot a CS-52, a Bourrasque and a Progetto racing their way up use your awesome bloom to snap the Progetto dealing a game winning 220 damage. only 5 to go, hurrah! CS-52 while going 40 up the hill hitscans you from 300m away, luckily, hitting the strongest part of your armour, your gun mantlet, pens, and only takes a quarter of your HP, your commander and loader Bourrasque bumrushes you and only pens one shot; you scare him off with a colossal 250 highroll now at 1/2 HP. hang back behind cover to rethink your life decisions until you lose focus Bourrasque and Progetto leave to farm more obliging targets
mind your own business spotting for your camping Skorpion/S1/SU enemy Renegade waddles up to your spot and you aim carefully for his LFP, dealing an incredibly average 240 damage. Renegade hugs hard cover, ducks out, and gives you .5 seconds to aim before aiming in your general direction and snapping your turret with APCR. now at 1/4 HP CS-52 peeks and leaves you at 80 HP. you track him semi broadside but don't pen. meanwhile your friendly neighbourhood camping TDs bounce off his UFP and turret because aiming is hard. CS-52 railguns the only exposed pixel on your turret.  welcome to the garage! congratulations, here are your 15k credits for doing 750 damage and 250 spotting. well played!

I was watching a documentary on ancient Sumer and heard about 4000 year old recipes preserved in cuneiform.

So... yeah...

My first tier 10 3 mark. I know, pretty shit, but i've had a mental block for years - thanks to the community here for all the tips, and in particular to @kolni for his great feedback and analysis.

First 3 mark! (that I actually tried for)

I'm really thankful to the WoTLabs community for giving me the resources to improve myself, especially @kolni for his statement of trying for 'non-losing' gameplay, which helped me get my mindset into staying alive ^^
