I have 18 tanks in the garage right now, and I keep the ones I'm currently leveling set as primary. When I'm platooning I would like to be able to quickly filter on tier so matching up with platoon mates would go just a little faster. It's not a huge deal but it does surprise me that they haven't implemented it.

Sorting by tier *would* be nice. Yes, they organize by tier per nation, but also by type, so you have to scroll through the whole list to find all your Tier 5's.
I just realized buying the Lee and M4 this weekend along with deciding to do the American TD line (Because I'm sick of being sniped by those SOBs and want payback) gave me 8 American tanks in my garage. I need help.

I play mainly US tanks, they just seem to fit my play style. Probably because I spent several years driving real tanks around and can't stand tanks that don't have enough depression to take up hull downs. I play other lines but it's the US one that I mostly enjoy.

Bout time, but I just needed the Object 263 kill to complete Master Tanker! Now I gotta start again with the brits!

Low tier stuff so far has guns with good pen, good accuracy, and ok damage mounted on tanks made of tissue paper and gauze powered by dry rotted rubber bands. I admit to being a little surprised that I'm having a fun with my tier IV light (Covenanter) despite the complete lack of armor or maneuverability.

Couldn't sleep after my wife's alarm went off, so I went down and ran most of my x5s. I was averaging between 2k and 2500  All my teams just fucking collapsed under the sheer weight of their own incompetence, and it was impossible to score very well. Sigh. |

I'm downright giddy about credits for gold rounds. My xp and cash earned have gone way up on my premiums because of it. Whee.

Just beware- the 'gold' rounds were half price from Wed through Sat, which overlapped with 8.1 on Thursday and the ability to purchase them with credits. That led to everyone stocking a few. Then Sunday came, and the price reset to normal. I noticed when I had a 98k credit round in my T34, and only netted like 25k or so because I spent more than 62k on ammo for the round  I have since changed my loadouts again to make them the HE replacements they should be and not the lion's share of my carried rounds. In other news, I bought a T34 (mentioned above, the keen reader may have noticed). I LOVE it so far. It it slow and not as tanky as it should be for a T8 heavy, but holy mother of god does it hit hard. High score over the weekend was exactly 500 damage in one shot...seems to average between 375 and 450 in general. 39 battles in it so far, with 25 wins. Having said that, I will now lose 20 in a row. But I will still make credits! Also bought an M-103 and 5 pieces of equipment before the sale ended. I am broke (again). |

The half off premium ammo special let a lot of people boost their available credits by 21% thanks to T92 shells being more than half off. Personally I invested all my flippin' silver in 261 gold bullion. If I'm need something bought, I'm converting. If I need something shot, I'm shooting it good, dawg.

I was the victim of quite a few gold rounds before I realized what was happening. I couldn't figure out why my T32 was being TWFpned by tier 7 mediums in solo fights, the fuckers. I didn't have the cash to stock-up for the T34 like I wanted, nor did I get the XP to buy the 103 and Pershing. I'm so sad, but that's what happens when you stop playing regularly for 2 months. I'm back to just dicking around for an hour or two and enjoying it a lot more than when it was my primary game. My garage is huge now and I've got a decent enough range of tanks that I can enjoy when I want some pew pew. (And the turreted TDs are goddamn overpowered but sooo fun to drive because of it.) |

I do the same. WoT is when I need to shoot some things for an hour rather than a focus.
Used all my money to buy modules since they were half off as well. Had bought the AMX 13/75 I was aiming for and now it has binocs, vents and GLD and most of my other main tanks have rammers. Fun tank.
Also trying the T-34 as a replacment for a sniper Pz-IV, working towards M4 to replace the post-nerf derp Pz-IV (the M3 Lee is dreadful though) and the Stug-III to keep the Pz-IV's crew occupied.

The Lee is only dreadful if you hate TDs or are in the bottom of the match. It's top gun has a fantastic reload, pen and damage and will own things well outside of its tier. Just remember you can't do anything by yourself in it and pair-up with someone so you can flank, even another Lee. It was the tank I had my best match ever in until I bought the T34.
It's a fantastic hill defender.. or was. I don't know if they nerfed the declination on it or not since I was last playing it regularly.

The gun is excellent, but it's such a mobile barn and the gun positioning is very finicky. I had some good rounds in it but lots of swearing at it.

Damn.. I won't have a crew with 3 skills by the time that hits. I wonder what they'll be like.. surely not what the article implies. They'd be crazy powerful. American manoeuvrability with British accuracy, Soviet power and French firing rates – all the while benefiting from Russian money and cheap production practices. Hell, just give me the Russian guns and Brit accuracy. No mention of armor though... |

I fired it up and took my Lowe out for a spin. Yep, it has side armour of tissue and its engine is powered by 4 grannies riding hamster cages, but goddam I love that tank. Its slow speed means that everyone else will be all damaged and vulnerable by the time I get there, and its gun does a whopping load of damage when it hits. I cant help Humming the imperial march as I'm slowly grinding towards the enemy.

Just unlocked the 4th skill on my Lowe crew. 900 or so battles in it. It is a good tank, even if it seems slower post 8.0 and everyone and their brother knows how to kill it.

... and their brother knows how to kill it.
They just need to stop selling it. Then the knowledge seems to disappear from everyone's brain. I see people trying to shoot the KV5's front glacis and turret all the time now. Poor R2 gets ignored, despite being a giant target. |

I almost feel guilty just beating the shit out of bad KV-5 drivers who get into super close range and don't hide their R2s.

Even the bad drivers seem to know the weak spots on my T34 and Type 59. The fuckers.
Got one down to 30% yesterday but he managed to pop me due to SUPER-SLOW RELOAD. Right as I heard the killing shot's rammer "thunk" home I went *boom*

Yeah, if you have nowhere to hide, best bet is to just wiggle your turret around and keep yourself angled. If you are always moving even just a little it will throw a lot of people off. Or make them mad enough to track you instead of killing you  |

Yeah most of my TS time is mid-late evenings PST, at least during the week. I don't generally get on TS until I have at least half my doubles done- I have too many to get through to wait for platoonmates to finish games before I bounce to the next tank.

I have been pinned under a sleeping baby all morning/afternoon while my wife gets ready for said birthday party, so I haven't gotten to play as much as I had hoped. Perhaps afterwards!
