I hope you bustas are ready to grind for literally months to get premiumâ„¢ equipmentâ„¢

NOPAN is the one true god

This game is fun and anyone who says otherwise is yellow.

it's fun but there are aspects that are ruining the fun: notably the overstatted premiums, especially recent ones

What are some tanks that are the best in the line and that going further is a bad idea, barring tier 10 tanks?
Examples I know of right now are:
T30
E-50
ISU-152
T67
Pz. III J

>T67
>not wanting the Hellcat

To add to your list though:
IS-3
Charioteer
Chi-To
M41

>unironically owning a T67

>IS-3
T-10 is just as good and more fun

>T67
>T30
these tanks are in the same line

It's a good tank driven by stat-padding cunts.

>T-10 is just as good and more fun
The T-10 is far weaker tier for tier than the IS-3.

false

I've been uttered defeated.

How common is boosting? I've never come across it personally, but it seems to be really big right now according to youtube. What gives?

Saw it once. Guy fell off his perch towards the end of the match while overextending himself to get a shot and killed himself.

it makes people mad so it gets views on youtube and twitch so ecelebs talk about it a lot, but most people either don't bother or get shot off the rocks and never try it again

I got clipped for 2200 by some faggot Batchat on top of mountain yesterday. It doesn't happen every game but it's common enough that WG should probably do something about it.

>triggered because there is no prem to artificially make me 3% better

should i use the shit 122mm on the is-2 or wait for the next one and keep using the 100mm?

Either or, I preferred the shitty 122mm over the 100mm but the tank isn't great either way until you get the good 122mm.

that's what i feared. well it's just another 20k xp to grind

this 2xp shit is going to give me an fucking aneurysm, bot team after bot team

obj 704 is good because it gets better armor and significantly more health than the isu. It's the 268 you want to skip

So wait there is a x2 for every game going on right now?

just wait for the strv 81 :^)

>grind for the T95E2 on console
>it gets preferential matchmaking
>mfw

I love xp events

every game you're in the top 10 on your team for exp earned, regardless of win or lose

god bless america

It's still fairly shit though.

Why doesn't wargaming release new maps?

because that would mean working on content

>premium-premium equipment
>premium-premium consumables
we /premium-premiumsealcubbing/ now

They do on console quite regularly. Most of them are a mess though.

Daily reminder if you're not rerolling to 6k+ you should just stop.

>tire away for decades in ranking battles getting painfully enough obligations
>replace all the eq in my 'Tildy with special ones, go with rammer directive, swap extinguisher for cup of tea

>roll into t4 with reload somewhere around 1.3

Sweet baby jesus.

Fuck off, Elevendy.

Git gud. :^)

>avg tier: 5.77
lmao

REAL EURO HOURS

new wn8 calculates wn8 horrible wrong for some tanks, type 64 of which 90% of your games are in is one of them
if you do 2k avg dmg in a tier 8 light like the wz (which is doable) you score like 8k wn8
"regular" premium tanks like is2,bromwell, rudy, patriot .. etc score retarded high in new wn8 aswell
try to do that in your 112

Well I actually fucking hate the 112, I could probably average 5k in something more reasonable like 50 120 though.

But yeah I will agree with you, Wn8 is a dead metric. I only care about win rate and damage. Plus I love getting Top Guns.

Is the french heavy grind bad? I like the look and the stats on the t8+ heavies but the tiers before it look lackluster at best, except maybe that t5. Can someone enlighten me?

Jesus christ the KV-85 is nigh unplayable with this shitty,shitty,shitty,shitty gun depression. If there even a mole hill between me and my opponent I can't do anything.

Even if my target and I are on totally level ground if he is low profile I sometimes can't even shoot his hull, like, jesus fucking christ I wanna tear my eyes out playing this thing.

I really thought it would be a bit better than the KV-1S but boy was I so fucking wrong.

get good

5 and 6 are good in their own way
7 is a shitty tiger

where can i find illegal mods?

do they ip ban if i somehow got caught?

2k games played and 47%, should I kill myself y/n

I can't win any fucking games

>2k
relax, 47% isnt THAT bad for such few games. Everyone starts somewhere, if your improving then it'll eventually get better

highest tier?

plazmakeks

Why do retards who flip their tank make me so mad? Fucking spastic, how am I supposed to turn your tank around? With my fork attachment?

actual highest tier is 7, jagdpanther.
Bought a Skorpion, so technically have a t8.

>bought a premium with 2k games, a t8 one at that
okay nevermind, kill yourself

...

>do well in the Centurion I and have fun
>hear the Centurion 7/1 is better in every way
>unlock it
>do shit every single game
>50% tier X heavies and TDs every match
>get focused by artillery every other game for some reason (so far I've died to SPGs more times than in my entire Cent I career)
>no fun is had ever

Well shit, I guess I'm gonna stay at tier VIII forever.

seemed like a good idea at the time because I could use it to train the crew of the line I was pushing

well that's part of your problem, currently any casemate TDs w/o armor is hot garbage. Turreted TD's play as mediums that have to stay back or have some other feature.

If you haven't already, start playing bias heavies and your pick of mediums. Between both, they'll give you the best basic skill-set.

Also mandatory viewing: youtube.com/watch?v=mN7AM7Nnlr4

Yeah I did realize this a little late, currently also have a KV-85 in tier 6 and a lot of mediums at tier 5. I think one of my issue is spreading out over so many trees.

noob here, t29 or IS for my first t7 tank?

cent 7/1 is a piece of shit. The CAX is one of the most fun t10s though

t29

t29 is better, but the is isn't too shabby and leads to better t8/t9s

well ill need a tank to grind credits on

because it's getting very hard for me to keep a pool of credits

I only have premium time, no premium tanks

I was under the impression t5/t6 were better tiers to credit grind if you don't have prems. You should buy a lowe
goy

if that is true then I just might have to quit the game

I've been grinding the m6 and the kv-85 all day. I'm a little over halfway to being able to afford my first t7

So basically don't play paper TDs, paper heavies, or lights?

>So basically don't play paper TDs, paper heavies, or lights?
Unless they have some gimmick like an autoloader or high alpha

also is the lowe the best t8 premium to get? are they going to ever sell the other op premiums like the scorpion or the patriot?

I just want one that will farm me credits, free xp would be nice too I suppose

The lowe is one of the best you can buy for gold at the moment and probably the best for newer players.

It has:
>good gun depression and a strong turret
>good hull armor for sidescraping/hull down
>high pen and good gun handling

It's not on the same level as the patriot/defender type premiums, but it's no slouch

Once you get RNG on your side a little, this tank really does well

stream for 9 hours and rage at your teammates while trying to get that mark

Anyone think 9.19 is going to fix shit with ranked mode?

or will the improved equipment make the player imbalance even worse?

>things only the best players can get that modify vehicle stats

When the gap between the best players and average players widens, the average players (most of the players) leave, and the skilled players have less fun because they can't stomp anybody. It's a vicious cycle.

>the skilled players have less fun because they can't stomp anybody
Right here.

The "skilled" players in World of Tanks aren't actually skilled at all.

All they can do is shit on the shitty and average players. Unlike in other games like Counter-Strike, and Overwatch, even non-fps games like League of Legends and Heroes of the Storm players in these games are actually skilled.

They can actually play and win against other similarly skilled players.

But the teals/blues/purples in WoT just suicide or avoid fighting each other because they know that in actuality, they're shit players.

Ok, so I tried to push in the direction of the largest amount of units on my team
How come I'm not winning?

>t. yellow

>my face when WoT esports and tournaments are DOA for precisely that reason

basically this, truly skilled players don't actually like playing against shitters and avgs, there is no fun in doing that.
padders wouldn't be able to maintain their stats nor cheat through an elo/rank system.

I don't think I've seen anyone as yellow as this.

What do you call Clan Wars?

>The "skilled" players in World of Tanks aren't actually skilled at all.
Did the +-25% rng give it away? The gold rounds? The +2/-2 mm? Enlighten me

I call it 'not standard game mode'.

literally just make it +/-5% rng and the game is vastly improved

- lower rng
- lower tier power gap
- remove gold ammo

all would vastly improve the game, hence will never happen

>implying those are only applicable to one player and not all players

Feels good man

What are some good tier 5-7 tanks to learn the ropes with before I go into higher tiers?

>tfw playing heavy tanks with no armour
Fuck, the IS is so awful

>T29 with 90mm
>O-Ni coming straight for me

Besides trying to run away, is there anything I can really do?

>needing armor in World of Gold Rounds
What game are you playing where armor matters outside of the Japs and Maus?

There isn't exactly much skill in a game where almost all the mechanics actively work to hamper skill

Press two and shoot the part of his cupolas that's closest to you

load gold shitter

E-75

Right, probably should have waited to go to tier 7 until I had some leftover dosh to buy gold with. Thanks anyway, senpais.

>actually using gold for premium rounds

"Right, probably should have waited to go to tier 7 until I had some leftover credits to buy premium rounds with. Thanks anyway, senpais."

Messed up my words, I suppose. No way am I spending gold on ammo.
