What is it and is it worth the gold?

Surprised no one started thread on this yet. So i'm sure everyone knows about the latest marathon mission for the T25 Pilot #1. The replays and reviews are also out. Seems like the verdict from the people who've played and reviewed this tank is that its a balanced tier 8 USA premium medium tank, compared to the M26 Pershing it has a better 90mm gun, mobility is good but with a bad engine, the overall armour is poor, the gun mantlet isn't the thickest nor the largest. IMO its a good but somewhat bland tier 8 medium tank. I'd have to agree with what Jingles mentioned about why the

Just in case some people weren't aware of this, here goes: Description (with some redacted notes) Developed as a J.V. Stalin Academy of the WPRA Mechanization and Motorization Program project totally not a napkin design. According to numerous sources that nobody made up, it started in 1949 so was silly putty. The vehicle had a forward placed engine bay (frontal engine fires anyone?), and the fighting compartment in the back, something unseen in a Soviet tank. The tank was canceled during the project phase aka never physically built. Tier VIII USSR premium Medium Tank Health:

Some of the community contributors said that at Tankfest that they were told by Wargaming employees the matchmaking mechanic that increases your chance of being top tier or middle tier after being bottom tier has not worked since 9.18 was released. It looks like they are speaking the truth. I kept track of my last 600 solo pub battles (all battles since 1.0 was released) in an excel spreadsheet. I played mostly tier 8 through 10 with the occasional tier 6 and 7 battle. I included tank played, tank tier, battle tier, type of matchmaking(all 1 tier, 5/10. or 3/5/7), and other details. M

So, yet another Soviet premium tier 8 heavy tank is coming soon. Because there's never a lack for them. Will it be any good compared to existing Soviet tier 8 heavy tanks like the IS-6, IS-3A, IS-5 and IS-3. And for arguments sake, compared to the Chinese 112, WZ-111 and 110 (because they're pretty much the same deal)

I'm getting really confused about this: I've been playing my type 59 and cant seem to win games?? I'm aggressive like I am with my other tanks, and try to play to its strength, and end up often being top xp or top 3 on team. I don't farm, I make sure I go up front and engage as soon as possible... what's going on? I'm totally at a loss now...when this happened with 150 games I decided to take a break and come back...now my wn8 increased but winrate decreased??? 230 games and just no fun with this.. -
I think the lack of a thread even after a week, pretty much says everything. No one really wants or needs this tank. Non the less I think it at least deserves this thread so we can discuss how shitty and useless it is compared to the M41 90 GF. Armor. Not a lot but not completely paper either.

So, after selling the Belfast for her full dubloon price (yes, I didn't like her, please don't kill me), I suddenly have around 13000 doubloons and wondered what could be done with that. And, as I don't have a T8 Premium so far and the Christmas sales will probably start in the not so far future, I wanted to get some opinions what currently the best/most OP/fun tier 8 is that can be bought with doubloons. Some points to consider: I am mostly a BBaby highest tiers: Bismarck (decent stats in it, almost finished), Amagi (mediocre), Kagero (bad, still learning), New Orleans ( -

I was just thinking, when I talk to some other players about the new tier 8 tank releases, a few are quite cold about buying a tier 8 premium, not because the tank itself is bad, but because the mm is hard on tier 8s. Do you think that the current mm has lead to reduced sales in tier 8 premiums, which seem to be the main marketing strategy wg has been going for (judging by how many they are churning out)...

A contributor of reddit has done a 99% UCL calc on a personal data set and came up with the following: https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/comments/6dg5tf/the_918_matchmaker_saga_part_two_new_data_and/ I have no idea of whether this could be discerned from the API, but this kind of ninja nerf would be such a WG kind of thing to do. I wonder if the OP is a member here, it'd be interesting to have him present to our math guys.

Its getitng ridiculous, i roll out my tier 8s and the level of control i feel is going down and down, with tier 10s dominating almost every game. I dont seem to get the same problem at tier 7 right now but tier 8 is a total nightmare. Is this a general problem or am i just getting bran disease?

So it's been nearly a week since April Fool's Day 2017, when WG decided to instead of creating a special funny event, game mode or in-game feature, they thought we'd all have a wonderful hearty laugh at being enticed by their 1-day offer of an "exclusive" and "rare" pixel tank in exchange for a LOT of IRL money. Maybe we'll see Type 59 for sale next April Fool's 2018? Assuming Drumpf hasn't glassed the entire planet over a tweet.

(funny that it shows the 85mm gun that no one uses) I'm still at the T-34-1, and i'm almost about to get the 2nd skill to 100% before I move them up to the T-34-2. So what's to expect? How does it compare and rank with the other tier 8 mediums (i'm assuming not highly)

After countless games, and I have been doing fine in the Charioteer up to then, i've yet to have Aced this tank. Until this match. This was a match back in patch 9.15, before Swedish tanks spammed the server and additional UI features like damage logs were added in 9.16.

Not sure if this is the right place to put this thread, so feel free to move this if otherwise. [Special] Ripper Patton So the current rent-a-tank event in the SEA server is the Patton KR. And anyone can have a go in this and break the match-maker by just earning 15,000 EXP. Great marketing ploy WG, at the expense of everyone else. Now I have no problems with these rental tank events, it's a decent means of giving everyone a chance to try out the tank for themselves before deciding the purchase it. But i do have a problem with how this affects everyone else in the process.

About half an hour has gone by, I'm surprised nobody has posted this yet.

I've been playing PC Tanks a bit more lately and I really need credits since I'm just under 300k as of right now. I have a T34, Type 59, and Super P in my garage and I'm grinding credits to eventually get a bunch of tanks I sold in the past back (using a Support ticket obviously). I can play at almost any time during the day as well as play on either East or West (preferably East) and using Teamspeak would be nice, too. I do have my own server but I can go on any server if necessary. P.S. My IGN is weird, I know. It's a running joke on WoT Blitz right now.

Hi all, I am a SEA based player, struggling to improve my game. Still very ordinary as you can see. Got an IS3 as my first tier 8, and I can't get this tank to work for me. I understand the spiked armour, and the need to hull down, yet it seems to be cheese and wrecked by anything tier 8+ (lots of tier 9 games on the SEA, I am rarely top tier + premium seems to be the standard ammo for everyone). However I am thinking now that the IS3 is not the best tank for me to learn tier 8... I don't seem to do too well with Russian tanks, the T150 and T34-85 being notable exceptions. So

Hey, guise! First of all, I'm looking for people to play with. I can play any tier 5+, if you wanna play tier 9/10 then I'll just play my Bulldog. I can adapt my play style. My main objective has always been to win, I won't keep farming damage if I'll see a lost flank. If there's anyone who feels like analyzing gameplay/tactics/mistakes then that's the mentoring part I can be happy with. Really motivated to learn and do better, so we can even set mutual goals if you want. I'll be on wotlabs in-game channel from now on as well. Let me know if you're up for it, send me a mes

Question: Which tier 6 and 8 play as an actual heavy (not heavium) as bottom tier? (if any) 'Brute': Fairly reliable protection or good at trading. Regardless of tier. Tier 7 = T29 Tier 9 = ST-I, E75, vk45.02B Tier 10 = Ehundo, IS7 'Heavium': Will trollbounce / brawl but don't really want to expose against higher tiers. Tier 6: KV85 Tier 8: IS3 Tier 9: Wz 111111-1/4 Tier 6: - T150: Armor towards higher tiers when sidescraping? - KV-2: Sufficient alpha (AP+ or HE) to forget armor due to trading well? - ARL 105: Turret too bad to play with heavies? Tier 8: - Tiger II:

Hello there, I am an Aussie tanker that has been lurking around for some time in my vain attempt to become a more skilled player worthy of the position I take up on my team. Competitive gaming has always been something of interest to me and I enjoy understanding any game I play inside and out, going so far as to heavily research, practice or mod (single player) games. I've read many of the well-written articles on this site and spend much of my time digesting the content of SirCircon, Quickybaby and Zeven (whom is by far my favourite). Whilst I have improved in some ways, I feel that it m
