Think Abagadro got one too....I somehow bet you get a better deal with the gold payout from the clan Engels.
Ya, managed to (thx for the FP Engels!), but was amazed I dropped 1300 spots once the missions were credited. A lot of people got pushed out. Out of the whole campaign I think we had 5 real fights (out of dozens and dozens we did). CW is all diplo these days. |

Well, that makes me feel marginally better about my situation, but on the other hand, wtf, if that much is diplo, the mechanics are borked. I guess you can just leave it to the internet to totally game a system for mutual benefit.
In a way its hilariously awful. Imagine if Stalin and Hitler were all like, "Ok you send your tanks in, I'll let you kill us all, cept for the one, which will then finish you off. Because, you know, Fame."

Those stupid "maximize the xp" battles were actually more stressful than actual battles. The whole campaign was a giant pain in the ass.

*sigh* I caved and bought the E-25. It's as fun as I'd expected but requires a different mindset than your standard TD. I keep finding myself camping and then realizing "oh, shit, I can relocate and be more useful."

Started playing WoT again after a break. If anyone wants some company in game, just send me a shout. I'm nebu_f13.
Playing mostly tier 6-8 until I get my skills back.

Yep- it plays more like a fast medium or an ELC. Speed around, stop and shoot some sides or asses, then run away again. It is surprisingly hard to hit on the move from any decent distance due to its pancake height. Holiday Specials are up. Some decent stuff, but the IS-6 mission is fucking ridiculous. 100k exp x7 in some of the worst tanks in the game? Yeah, I think I will pass. |

I'm doing it just for shits and giggles. Not that tough if you have the tanks just doing doubles (plus 2x and 5x weekends). The tier six matches are turkey shoots. Have had 9 kills in my ez8, TG in my Cromwell, etc etc and my 1S is a rape machine.

I just have so many other tanks I am trying to grind that buying 5 or 6 tier 6s (and the garage slots, crews, equipment, and consumables for each) just sounds like a nightmare. And I would be seriously pissed if I came up a tiny bit short somehow.

I just don't play enough to bother anymore. I do my 2x in my Su, the E25, and the Pak. If I'm really in the mood I might pick up one on the T69 or my 110e or 103 but I just don't have the patience for more than that, much less the mission nonsense. |

Ya, a good chunk of why I am bothering is because I have basically nothing else to do in the game other than grind my T9 waffle to the T10. |

You are going to be a holy terror in the WTF. I just got into the Tier 7. Worst of the line by far.

I thought the toaster was much worse. Once you have the top gun on the Ps IV it isn't bad.

I didn't mind the toaster. Plus it was only tier 5, so not too much of a grind to get through it.

I'm close to the tier 9 waffle, and the tier 7 was by far the worst of the line. Gun was pretty good, esp. gun depression, but it was slow as hell with paper thin armor. The tier 8 is much better. I prefer using the first gun, which is the same one the ferdi and JP2 use..only on a turret attached to a low profile tank.  |

In perfect WG style the 2x for wins and losses this weekend doesn't apply to the 100k combat missions even though your daily double 2x DOES count. Feh.

My clan mates and were laughing at the ridiculous grind for that IS-6. With all the hours you need to grind and all the tanks you would need to get, we figured you would be better off getting a part-time job and just buying the thing.

Yes. It's $51 on sale right now. (1% off oh my!) I'm charged out more than that for an hour of my time. It's less than a day's work at min. wage. Not worth the grind.

Inaccurate is putting it mildly.

Oh good, he only tank lines in the game I've played have been American. Glad to hear Its possible to have an arty that will actually land somewhat close to where you aim. After using only American arty, Im sure I'll destroy everything if I ever actually switch.  |

I was surprised by the T-54... I expected it to be more OP.  Like the Type 59....  |

But but but The 59 was nerfed from what it used to be so its ok now! That's what I was constantly told by 59 drivers so it must be true.

If they nerf my Hellcat, I probably will go ahead and finally uninstall the game. |

Ugh it is unfuck my mods patch day. After 1 battle I declare the tier 1 Japanese tank to be utter crap. If I ever get my mods sorted I will report back in more depth |

The 59 stats can probably be completely ignored due to preferential matchmaking. If I could take out my T32 in nothing higher than tier 9, my stats would be epic. I know that not everyone plays to ensure preferential matchmaking, but probably enough to make the stats misleading.

Just unlocked the tier 5 japanese and I'm 0 for 9 in it.
To top things off, I even lost a match in my IS 6 where I did 5210 damage. I can't seem to get any help in these matches. Meh.

OTOH, I unlocked the big gun for the Pz V and can't quit winning in it. Got several top tier games in a row, and that gun is just fucking ridiculous.
Also- hearing about a bonus code for 3 days of premium- WGNY2014. Site is getting hammered so I can't confirm it yet.
