I am missing out on the launch event, and the free T1 PS tank they are giving away.

I tried to log in once during the beta, and it was down.

FUCK THIS TANKLESS WORLD.

(I'm actually methodoning through WoT Blitz on iOS while I'm in Idaho.)

It is fun, but you have to stay hidden. Tank Destroyers are made of beer cans. Artillery is made of kerosene soaked tissue paper.

Tier advancement is per any tank's research line. Research better gear for your tank. The next tanks available are on the right hand side of the research tree. Frequently, it is not necessary to research ALL of the current tank's packages before researching and purchasing the next Tier tank.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on January 26, 2016, 03:55:46 AM: Spend the free gold I got to convert XP and got my Tier 5 tank I wanted.

My first medium tank, the PZ IV H. Really so slow compared to the light tanks I had before so will take some time to get used to. I think the big grind will start now and I'll be snail pacing my way towards the Tier 7 Tiger.

I got pitched against some Tier 7 tanks and it hurt a lot.

I hope they do add a Tier 11/12 with more "modern" (which are getting old too now) tanks like the Leopard 1/2, Abrams, T72/90, Challenger, Merkava etc.
Title: Re: World of Tanks - Achtung wi diskutieren hier bitte ja
Post by: chronovore on January 26, 2016, 11:05:43 AM: Don't be in a rush to ascend. As you've seen, an unmodified tank will have shortcomings when battling against higher Tier tanks. Even in my Tier IX, I am frequently pwned by Xs with casual impunity.

You could have spent your Gold on Premium Time, and won Free XP, additional Tank XP, and Silver. Premium Time offsets the grind, but buying XP will just put you in a tight situation sooner than you'd like.

That wouldn't exactly be fair. A single Abrams or a Challenger would mop the floor with any 12 tier 10's it went against.

I enjoy playing lower-Tier tanks more than higher ones. I also like driving light tanks better than just about anything else. It sure is fun playing heavy or TD and landing the big hits, though!

You can't advance from these premium tanks, can you? Do they earn more money or something?
Title: Re: World of Tanks - Achtung wi diskutieren hier bitte ja
Post by: chronovore on February 12, 2016, 05:01:48 PM: Premium Tanks do not offer research-able components; they're already in their Super Saiyan form.

You can move Crew from a regular tank to a Premium one without having to retrain them.

Premium Tanks have different attributes, but -yeah- usually there's a Silver bonus or Crew XP bonus. Training your Crew can be the biggest grind in the game, and being able to get the sweet 2X multiplier on XP earned for Crew XP is important.

You should still be enjoying lower-Tier tanks at this point. There's plenty to learn without all that expense. You can get quite a bit of Free XP and Silver through the lower-Tier battles. High-Tier battles can be expensive to fight.

Nope, I'm on Tier IX and will be there for another few months. It is hard, hard, hard to play through. I should just grind on my IX, but it's not my favorite tank and it doesn't produce the most money. But when I have Premium Time or it's a bonus weekend, I grind like hell.

Go check out the Research, XP, and Silver costs for the Tanks you're talking about, and all the Tanks you'll have to clear en route to them.

Yup, you really can't play tier VIII and up with no premium. The chance of losing silver is massive if you have a bad game.

There forum is a pretty good source for tank info and tactics. Just avoid general discussion if at all possible.

Post by: Am_I_Anonymous on February 23, 2016, 09:23:54 PM: I've been around since the closed beta and played in a lot of tanks. Here's some thoughts.

I'm currently running

Chi-Ri Tier VII auto loader: Nice sniper, no armor.

KV-4 Tier VIII heavy: Using the ZIS option. I can pen tier 10's frontally and it has great armor. Slow.

E50 Tier IX medium: This tank is a fucking grind. I finally unlocked a decent package.

I'm as using;

PV IVS Premium Tier VI medium: Great Sniper.
Makes a lot of money.

My two all time favorite tanks:

T-34-85 Tier VII medium: Fucking best medium in game. Fast, good slopes armor, and hits like a mule.

T29:m Americam Tier VIII heavy: Nothing pens that turret.

In Tier IV and higher, I'm surprised how frequently I get kills in Light Tanks. But, yeah, the bulk of XP comes from spotting or disabling the tracks of vehicles, letting other tankers rain fire on them.

LOL at myself this morning; I /have/ this. I've got the full package for it, and I can't play it for shit. I never manage to decide between rushing and staying mobile near the enemy front, or situating myself somewhere and sniping to benefit from the height/camo/accuracy. The rotationally-challenged turret really messes with me.

22 mastery badges
1.72 K/D
1.18 Damage given/damage received

I'm nobody special, hell I play with guys with like 2.1+ k/d's and nobody is ever going to have a super high winning percentage in this game because sometimes you play with idiots/newbs or or are tiered down.

Tiger II should be played more like Mediums than heavies. Just an FYI.

Post by: chronovore on March 06, 2016, 07:40:34 PM: There's an Achievement for taking out four tanks in a British tank. I've made it to three tanks on several occasions in the last week. Even had a shell land on a fourth just after someone else had taken it out. Man, oh, man, oh, man. Frustrating.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on March 11, 2016, 03:09:58 AM: 116k/154k xp to the E75, premium ran out. Struggle will start now. Maybe I'll just get another month of premium, prob better investment then buying some cheap game.

I think I want to get a E100 and then go for an IS-7 or T62A.

There's an Achievement for each nation's tanks, but they've varied them in later updates. The other ones are all grindy "get a Tier V" or "have these three high-Tier tanks simultaneously" (WTF). This UK one is the first one which is based in skill, and is most easily attained in lower-Tier matches.

Ah, right. 'Murica, which is for four kills in a USA tank. There's one for British. Then there are "Connoisseur" Achievements for having four tanks of those nations.

Six or seven. I think I've got only one or two Top Gun medals, and I think it was before the Achievement for it was added. I've got a half dozen M badges for 1% performance, but haven't managed it once since the 'cheevo was added in DLC. :maf

You guys werent kidding about losing money on Tier 9, you die, you lose cash.

Gonna be slooow from now, gonna play more casually as I did like 700 battles in two months now.

Post by: chronovore on March 12, 2016, 05:37:06 PM: I'm also desirous of the Tier X tank, but I know it's a long ways off for me. I should have routed differently, because I'm better at playing a specialized role rather than the generalist role of Mediums, which is what my IX is. Next time I have Premium, I need to be thorough in grinding the IX if I ever want to get to X.

The last couple of sessions have re-emphasized how important consistent play is, but also just how much difference the team can make.

Wow, I never want to play Chinese tanks again. It was disheartening to have to re-grind for tanks I'd already unlocked. I think it gave me a couple free unlocks, but geez.

Yesterday in a 16 vs 16 game, I went off in my Medium to scout, hoping I'd get followed by my teammates. One guy did head out with me. We ended up wandering into a unified front of at least half the other team. That was briefly very exciting.

No, going off on my own is always a bad idea. Following the lemming train is also a bad idea. But going off alone, with only one dude as confirmed backup, I should have played much more conservatively and stayed hiding.

Don't worry, happens to everybody. Had a round today where me (In a medium Type 58) and one light tank were are entire right flank. Went well.....

@Aia: Seriously bro, you think a shitty drone can take down a modern tank like this? It has an anti missile defense system for one and reactive armor. Unless your drone is flying with a 150 MM canon you can fuggedabout it.
Title: Re: World of Tanks - Achtung wi diskutieren hier bitte ja
Post by: VomKriege on March 29, 2016, 05:07:32 AM: Don't know if you can already mount them on drones but effective anti-tank shoulder missiles are a thing for any advanced country army since the eighties at least, so it wouldn't be too surprising to be honest.

EDIT : To the best of my understanding, a Javelin is more than able to destroy a T80. ERA is often being touted as a great defensive measure but I believe proof of their efficiency is pretty scarce (for lack of massive conventional engagement between the most advanced militaries).

Fact is tanks have been de-emphasized because of that and other factors and no WWII style massive engagement of cutting edge tanks is to be expected in the foreseeable future. The Fulda Gap scenario itself was already pretty much wishful thinking once ICBM and MAD became a reality. Just look at the estimated production runs for the T90 compared to the T80 or T72.

Also Russia loves to announce lofty weapon platforms but has rarely delivered on its promises even just as a prototype. The russian "5th generation jet" / PAKFA / Sukhoi T50 has been in the oven for many years now and is still, according to what I can find via google, just a repackage of the Su35 (itself an upgraded Su27).
Title: Re: World of Tanks - Achtung wi diskutieren hier bitte ja
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on March 29, 2016, 05:38:55 AM: That is old old tech there already, over the shoulder stuff like that might be effective for old tanks like the T80. We might as well start a topic on the other side for military talk.

Also this is not a pipedream, these babies are rolling out now.
Title: Re: World of Tanks - Achtung wi diskutieren hier bitte ja
Post by: VomKriege on March 29, 2016, 06:00:17 AM: I mention that in passing but even irregardless of the relative tank resistance to missile tech, the main thing is that they are much less relevant to current strategy and tactics.
