NVM, ill just go with gold

You do not get gold compensation.

sure you get. If you buy a tank with real money you get gold. If you win/earn a tank you already have you only get credits.

To answer the question. If you buy a tank which with a coupon or let´s say the tank is discounted in the premium shop but is not ingame, you get the full gold compensation. 

Solo, I'd think IRM/Turbo/Optics or Binocs. If you have spotting support, swap out vision for IAU or rammer.

I like turbo on my TDs for the faster backing out after being lit, and for relocation purposes.

Solo setup. Thank you, i wanted to hear that rammer is not mandatory.  Turbo could be interesting on Skorp, i need to test it.

The shell velocity is what makes me enjoy the tank, heh. Great for hitting wheelchairs.

I have no problem with pen, velocity is great, but i have a feeling that every 3rd shoot lands where i aim. I just lose the will to play when i miss side of type4 from 200m. And BTW Su252u can snap shoot from 200m+

I wasnt aware it was known for its accuracy, just bad pen and trash platform.

I did buy 54e1 on event, so ill just free xp it and try it. There is maybe some builds with new equipment that could make it solid.

PLAY IT

its basically the 57 down tiered with the pen buff like fr its stupid good. You can easily pull atleast 3.5k in it.

With IRM vents and ill go with turbo for third, its likely to be fun

NVM..all got back up

I've seen in passing Belarus is having some sort of protests against their authoritarian government, so it seems to be cutting the internet to disrupt their communication.

@Jesse_the_Scout As i understand, protests are related to recent elections. And goverment cut internet in Belarus. I dont see how this could disrupt NA servers, but anything is possible these days. Lets just hope for best outcome, and that violence will stop soon in Belarus.

With camo net so you get spotted while going into the bush. So nope. Also 450m with binocs is garbage. Also the gun is derpy yes.

Ill just wait what will come up next in store.

Somua, Borrasque and Renegade are the least annoying for good players

The DPM/burst is indeed glorious. The gun-handling on other hand is absolute cancer.

2.78 aim time (tied for 2nd worst among all T10 heavies)

0.24 hull dispersion (tied for worst with IS-4)

0.17 turret dispersion (Type 5 has highest 0.21 with derp gun and 3rd highest 0.12 with 14cm)

Hard to take advantage of 2s interclip without sending shots to the moon. Even shooting HEAT is a crapshoot. You basically have to be point blank range to get the most out of the gun, but then have to deal with the terrible armor and 12 km/h reverse speed.

I would say it's worth having due to how unique it is, but I don't know if anything other than the 183 makes me want to pull my hair out more.

@PityFool im on a credit grind right now, just so i can play 10s in peace later, and i staked cola for long time from mission so this set up will be no problem.

@RC_Tank i too sometimes get cocky and forget about how fast i can get cliped by T57, or perma tracked.

@dustygator gld, vents, optics + cola, and bia crew with smooth ride and snapshoot, i think(but i dont know), should help with gun handling(i hope). 

T57 is actually really fun to play with improved vstab and directives. Good enough that I drop gld for optics. It eats up tanks like nothing else and the turret is so random you'll get some free clips in if you learn how to wiggle.

252 it is. @ZXrage 140alpha more than lorr can be of more use in late game when you need to count on that one shoot to clean up, im too fun of big alpha.

@PityFool yeah, i understand that heat from obj140 can be soaked up by some random angle, track or spaced armor on 252, but as @Wanderjar said, apcr in flat side!?! What is up whit that?!

yeah the bullshittium armor is definitely real on that thing. almost as bad as the 257

@Wanderjar i hope it is. I didnt try it out yet, it just sits in my garage for now.

@PityFool its a destroyer of dreams for enemy teams. When enemy is winning and go for push hard, you just deny them one by one. 30 more alpha gives you 20dmg more on lowest of low rolls and 40dmg more on high roll vs 490alpha skorpion gun, if you look at it like this 30 more alpha is pretty huge. 

I run it with rammer/gld/optics, but I'm considering switching optics out for binocs, problem is that I don't have patience to camp, so binocs are barely in effect for me.

Much better for shitting credits than Löwe anyway, though I like both.

@CandyVanMan i prefer optics on most tanks for same reasone. Went with binocs cause just felt right.

EU has a lot more than that - a lot of them don't stream, or don't stream in English. Not sure on active server size comparison but EU is super active right now with Covid, and even FAME has become active again after Daki rejoined.

Reports of WOT's death (at least on the EU sever) were greatly exaggerated, despite what people have been saying on here since  . . . well, since I became a member.

Definitely frustrating, with a lot of flaws, but people still seem to be playing. Definitely a Covid bounce.

@Snoregasm2 WOT EU is still shrinking. Wait time show that. Also WG thinks that (fact, not what I think. Seriously what they say internally) 

Slow decline is slow.

play on Hong Kong server for WoT Hard mode.

@RedwoodOriginal WZ is a better tank. Lowe makes better money. If you say you are bad now think if you are worse hull down and sidescraping or playing vision games? For Lowe just watch out for the below mantlet weakspot.

Best just watch Skill/Circon/Orzy/Iyouxin in both of those tanks. 

@hazzgar cries in WZ-120 and 430 V2

@PityFool good point, two is better than one.

@hazzgar cause of equipment 2.0, wz could be crippled in vision games, and Lowe could benefit from 2.0 equipment. I might just go with both.

Valley plays gives you a lot of free farm for you IF 
1. there are no arty
2. you have the right kind of tank, e.g. T32 or Conq - but then you also need to push when the chokepoint is finally clear - and there's a TD camping position which can kill you
3. both teams have a shit tonne of heavies so that you can be sure there will be shitters on the other side attempting the same thing
In hulldown-y tanks, I guess you could make an argument that if all the conditions are met, you will contribute more by locking down the valley/pushing. 

I won nearly every time I pushed valley. The trick is to not go there when it's an obviously bad decision. Once I get over the center ridge the pubbies always follow and it becomes easy cleanup.

if u have turret armour u can valley

pushing it is good if amount of high alpha td's are low, also requires low arty and enemy team with shittier valley tanks than yours

its not bad, but its not good. Also the gun cannot hit anything. Not even the ground.

I would not say so. It's still good but you need to adjust to the new meta

Idk, i dont have will to play it. Seams like there is no point in Ltwt, cause T-54 can do all that Ltwt can do and be more useful in battle, and then there is 13 90, that is as Assassin said, way more fun.

blyat nahui

Spaced armor yo 

Its supposed to do it on its own.

Got it. Thank you so much!

*Albanian.  

Yes, but, they are still on balkan! ili su mene krivo učili?

Dobro su te ucili.

I'd grab sixth and camo then probably repairs for those times when you do get spotted since you gunnery skills won't make much of a difference. Once you get onto your third skill retrain and grab bia.

i would go sixth/snapshot/smoothe ride(or clutch breaking) then full camo then repairs or bia.

Thank you all for replays. For skills will be 6th/snapshot/ and i will chose smooth ride over clutch, it seams like it will be more useful. The tank is very small and agile, so hardly will anyone be able to circle me, so clutch breaking can wait.

I would survive ugly, but the gun depression nerf on top is a kill

mod1 because russian meds>german meds.

Got mod1, after trying it on friends acc..its fun.

Don't buy the Panther. Buy anything, but not that
