I broke down and bought another 25k gold and used that for 6 months of premium (and will blow the rest like a drunken sailor on camo and crew training and shit).

I've still got around 90 days left from the package I bought for World of Warplanes. Man, when will I learn. Probably never if I haven't learned by now. I'll have to file the receipt next to my lifetime Hellgate subscription.

I tend to go one month at a time with games until they prove that they deserve more. It has served me well so far.

Man, this medium mission grind is pretty stiff when you are in the middle of a CW dogpile.

It's a 3 hour daily commitment. I can't even imagine piling CW on top. Katiri showed me last night that the mission goes much faster when you win. Dude was on fire. |

Fuck the grind to the decent gun in the t-54. 50k xp in mostly tier X matches and only 175mm penetration.
Fun times.

Free xp is your friend. It's that or firing nothing but premium ammo. That's how I got through it. The top gun has pretty terrible pen if you don't spam premium ammo, so get used to losing credits every match against mostly 10's. |

Wait, which gun is the top gun? Doesn't it have 2 "top guns" each one leading to a different Tier X? I have the cun that leads to the T-62, but not the other. Having a secretly shitty gun to grind out the rest of the XP for the other gun and two Tier X tanks sounds worse than I already think it is. I'd look on the internet but I don't trust have the information I see there and I'm confident in your research being way more thorough than mine would be.

It does have 2. One to the 62a and one to the OBJ 140. I like the 140 gun better. Lower pen, but better handling characteristics. It's a VERY long grind to open both tier 10's but the T54 is outstanding as are the two tens. |

What happened to tier X's? If I play my Obj 140 with a reasonable effort, I make damn good cash. Was making between 30-50k credits on it tonight averaging ~2500 damage a match. That's better than my SP most matches and the 140 is always top tier!
The X's seem almost too profitable now. No wonder so many tomatoes play them.
EDIT: Just finished the medium daily mission in 23 games. It's amazing what a difference playing before prime time makes.

113 is the next On-Track (reward is the Type 64 or 3500 gold if you have it). If you are planning on doing that it might behoove you to get the Type 58 this weekend. It is currently on sale for the same discount as when the On-Track goes live and you can put on a 100% crew and equip it for half price. Extra bonus is that it is actually a medium that counts for the Medium mission so you can basically double-grind with it. It's not a great tank but it is basically a 34-85 which isn't terrible.

I personally think it's one of the best tier 6 mediums. It has a great gun. |

Dumb question: With new premiums on the horizon, I was looking at the current gold package.
25k gold and 30 days premium for $100.
Not sure what I think of the deal. I'm guessing it would mean that I wouldn't need gold for a LONG time and could get a 6 month renewal when it goes on sale near Christmas.
Is it a decent deal?

Normal is 25k gold for $100, so you are getting a month of premium for free. Pretty good deal. |

Lights might finally have a purpose and I'm suddenly excited.

It is reasonably nimble and has a surprisingly high penetration gun. I loved it when I went through it the first time, and have bought it back twice now  |

If the EU ontrack events transfer to NA, as they usually do, it looks like E100 is next followed by the M48 Patton. Link HereFuriously will get to grind that shiny new E75. |

Does that mean a discount on the E100? I have had mine unlocked for ages, but we play 10s so infrequently that I always found something else to spend money on. If I can knock 1.4 million or so off the price I will absolutely grab it.
