How WG could reduce the annoyance from grinding tanks and events by 90%? Give the top 3 tanks in the losing team winning team xp and the bottom 3 tanks in the winning team losing team xp.

I still grind lines because I sort of feel it's part of the 'experience' of the game to try out different tanks at different tiers, but mostly also to grind crew because I don't have that many crew skillbooks, so I usually blueprint/free-XP up to either tier 6 or tier 7, and then grind up the line from there (and by the time you get to tier 10 that way, you usually have a decent crew). I still mostly do stock grinds too (except maybe for tracks), again just because I kind of feel it is part of the 'experience' of the game, but I feel it's much better now because at least if I end up coming across a stock grind or a tank I just cannot stomach playing, it's very easy to blast past it with boosters, free-xp, blueprints and having a premium account. If anything, I think it's one of WG's big issues with introducing new lines at the moment, because any half-established player barely needs to grind anymore because so much has been done to shorten grinds (heck, it's one reasons Field Mods are done the way they are, it's designed to make people grind again and give them a reason to go back to previously unlocked tanks and/or use free-XP).

I don't grind anymore, I don't have to because of the blueprints. Also if you are in a clan, you can get vehicle fragments from tour of duty. If you just play few games a week, you will unlock all the tanks in a new line in about 6 months without even touching the tanks.
I still play the tanks and 'grind' some xp, usually 10 games or so. I mean what is the point of the game if you don't play anything. I'm using free xp for the modules though, I want my tanks fully kitted out (apart from field mods).
The xp grinding has gotten a lot easier in past few years with blueprints, manageable xp and x5 missions. Back in the day without boosters or anything, only event that gave you extra xp was the x3 or x5 weekends. An that was just one win. Nowadays first win of the day usually gives less xp than subsequent wins, because the x5 missions don't work on the first win.
Anybody remember the "+5% experience for 6 hours" boosters?

Yoh Tank Line - Upcoming American Heavy Line
Kymrel replied to ZXrage's topic in Upcoming Changes Discussion
I'm at the tier 8 now. A big improvement over the tier 7, this one can actually go hull down at close ranges without getting penned in the cupola by everybody, every time, even while moving and wiggling like a worm on a hook. I find it hard to get damage though in the fast-paced games. It's not heavium fast and 240 alpha is a bitch. It's a good tank for sure, but slow and low alpha makes it not my cup of tea. -
Playing the Type 59 again for giggles. Having a limited match maker and not meeting tier 10s is great. Well, it would be. But every single game is tier 8 and tier 9. Tier 7 occasionally shows up but tier 6 not once.
-
That was weird. Got the Type 59 gold in the warehouse. Had to refresh four times, of course, and the pickings before that were three alternative versions of tanks I already had and a hydrostat, but it was all worth it in the end. Too bad I have the original Type 59 or this would have been even better...

What am I missing with the "new" tanks that are supposedly coming in the Black Market? The T-22 and WZ-1111111Qilin. The T-22 looks like a worse version of the 140 (though it might have some armor shenanigans at a tier where everyone shoots gold anyway) and the WZ is apparently exactly the same as the tech tier one. Why would I want either one?
The only tank I want, just for the memes, is the Rampanzer, the others I either have or don't want...

@Bobi_Kreeg it's not exactly out of meta as being able to reverse sidescrape should still give it an edge over most other tier 10 mediums in corridor brawls which happen on 9/10 maps.
that said, when it's not doing its thing, it's basically a tier 9 so it is very mediocre

I played a couple of games in the tier 8 and 9. All the points above are spot on, but I'd like to add that 12 km reverse speed is very annoying for poking. The Bisonti has 15 in reverse and that feels slow. 12 is just terrible. I was excited for this line, since I kind of enjoy grinding new stuff and have very little left to grind in the game, but unless they buff the tanks massively it seems like a line for masochists.
-
Honestly it's just camos. And fugly ones at that, mostly. I just got the ones I didn't get from last year, anything from this year is just a bonus. The main point is to get to the +50% as soon as possible.
-
This is why you don't pack all your crew into a tank the size of a small-ish bathtub. All three crewmen of a full HP ELC Even 90 killed by a 400-damage HE hit to the front of the hull. Today was a good day.

With pretty much nothing left to grind in the game and the Italian heavies not here yet I finally took the plunge and started playing the British light tanks. I can't understand why Wargaming has not one single member of staff that can balance tanks. I'm on the tier 8 now and to think that this is in the same tier and class as the 432 and EBR is a sad joke. At least it's got 230 alpha, so you don't need to expose for a 135 alpha like the shitter on tier 7. DPM and ammo capacity are tragic though. As is the lack of HE pen.
-
Is this a joke? Can I three-mark the Setter (tier 7 British light tank shitter) with a 620 average damage? Is this the easiest three-mark in-tier in the game?

Has it as well but I think tomato gets its data from the other side.

Poor Financial Decisions 2020 Edition (lootboxes)
Kymrel replied to Deus__Ex__Machina's topic in Metagame Discussion
I figure I got pretty lucky. 100 boxes purchased, all three tier 8s I didn't have (had the Borat) and the new tier 6 as well as all the other ones. Just under 51k gold, about 10 million credits and 40ish premium days. I'm set for a year or so. -

Yeah, after 2 years of doing very well, my luck has run out this year. 75 boxes, only the new Italian heavy out of the tier 8 prems (so at least 1 of the 2 I really wanted, the other being the Bour - I also would't have minded trying out the GSOR) and only 1 of the skins (for the WZ, which I don't even have). About 25k in gold (which is always nice for getting more premium time) and about 5 million credits. A few doubles of the lower tier premiums, but don't really care about those.

The hamster keeping the EU servers up is on a break again, it would seem. Started with lags and then the servers just went down. GG Wargaming.

Same here. Have had a long break and lost the feel for this game but last week tried some games
at my parent's place. Their WLAN cant be compared to my old rig but still.. This game was frustrating enough
upfront. Every 2.game things simply crashed. Extremely unstable connection although ping appeared to be quite okay.
All the WG $ firmly in lootboxes on Cyprus I reckon- no time for server maintenance

I will realistically only get to about 50% off the 274 and am torn on whether to get it or not. I have the disposable cash, but just wonder if I would ever pick that tank over the Lis in my garage (which I like quite a lot). Trading mobility and gun handling for a bit more armor, that is still unreliable at best, seems like a pretty bad deal for me...
Halp?
