I had a bit of an epiphany last night. It occurred to me that World of Tanks has the same sort of monetization that a mobile game has. We're essentially playing a mobile game with enhanced graphics.

13 90 with CVS imp optics and bounty LNES...

Vision is dead.

My new meme build is the Bourrasque with CVS, iOptics and iVents. 518 view range, more camo than some LTs - and you remove bushes! 4k combined easy

fu wg u win: Vehicles added: Type 59

Struggled for so damn long in the 705A to do the final ebola mission but I forgot I get frequient high dmg games in the IS-3-II. So 7.1k dmg + some blocked + dying on a win = no longer have to play superheavies. 

Writing a pretty extensive topic on improving for higher level players (2000+wn8 above) but it'll apply to everyone, just that those people will comprehend it better. 
If there are any questions you'd like me to include, I will as long as the topic isn't finished by the time it's asked. This is a general improvement guide, so nothing map/tank specific, but larger concepts. (Improving situational awareness for example), if there are any: ask!

322 almost 9 years, time to think of a nice topic for official forums i guess ;D

I love WG support.
 
"you got banned for unsportsmanlike conduct". 
 
"ok but for what exactly so that I can appeal"
 
"you got banned for unsportsmanlike conduct. you must not know the rules. byeeeeeee" 
 
When the only moment I can think of is some moronic liberte who after camping decided to stop 5m in front of me and then immediately started driving back and being angry that buildings have walls on Ensk so I am unable to go back to give him more space...

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  
 
 

Ok, so I played a few rounds on the sandbox server. HE penning spaced armor is hilariously dumb. Side of an IS-7? BOOM! Sheridan spaced BS armor? POW! Spaced bullshit on the front of a Sconq? SPLAT! On the other hand if you don't pen, get ready for 183mm of disappointment.

Mission complete! Reward: Vehicles added: Chimera (crew 100%)
Now lets see how far i can get with 279 missions (without losing my sanity...)

Imagine playing on a mac 
Forgive me Garbad.

Mission complete! Reward:
Vehicles added: Object 260 (crew 100%)
Finally took head out of my ass and tried the HT15.4, took me 50 battles with Maus. Six years to get the 260, I didn't really try to complete the missions, got like 95% of them by just playing.

For every 'chat ban' I get I don't support WG. They want to chat ban me every time some muppet reports me for telling scouts who camp behind me to go F themselves, two can play that game. For every chat ban WG gives me in days, I won't support WG in any monetary support to them (buying tanks, gold, premium, etc) in months. So now that I'm chat banned for 4 days, no monetary support will be given to WG in 4 months. Fuck em. Nothings changed after a two year hiatus. WG supports the shitlords.

With my WoT buddy passing away a couple days ago I'm going to retire my account as playing doesnt feel right anymore. This game has been a huge part of my life the past 8 years and contains many of my worst moments as a person. I'm at a point in my life now where I'm genuinely happy and not the unstable lunatic who took WoT as life or death. Idk how to properly say goodbye to a great friend, but I'm going to start by shelving WoT and its memories. I don't game much anymore between work and rock climbing, so this is a good point to end it.
Take care wotlabs, it's been a weird ride from age 17 to 25, but I'm glad it happened.

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:

37 game win streak in rapid chess 
yeah i found a new main game
 

Sorry about the errors and blank pages, I've been doing my usual thing of trying to fix something and creating a billion more problems in the process.

pubbie might be wrong about his hackusations, but his gaydar is on point

I think they should add a mechanic that doesn't allow you to post to in- game chat until you do your HP in damage. As a scout main I won't be so biased to count spotting damage toward that total.
 

Hallelujah!
No more playing Hellcat or other shitty ass low tier TDs, finally got my 260.
Just had to press battle button in my IS-4, of all unholy abominations, IS-4!
~20k combined for HT-15, first heavy match of the day.

Overlord beach does provide some hilarious moments
 

At long last the Spershing gets to have a fighting chance against its sworn enemy: the valley spawn on Westfield.
