So, I have enough XP to get either the T-62A or the Obj 140.  Has anyone played them and has an opinion on which one is "better"?  I know that they're both excellent, so its hard to choose.

My opinion: The T62 is better for random pub matches due to the tougher turret.  The 140 is better for clan wars due to the improved depression.  

If you solo, get the 62.  If you like clan wars/tourneys, get the 140.  I have both open but bought the 140 first.  It's a great tank.

Let's see what Aba thinks.  He has FAR more games on his than I do.

I like the 140 but the difference is pretty small.

Considering it.  Do you want it for the tank or the bonus platoon xp?

Tank.  I could reciprocate by having my inactive alt be a recruit and toon up to get the tank (its harder than with a new account since the Tier X avenue is closed, but I could get 1M xp on Servo in toons eventually and get you the tank since I've been meaning to play that one more).

Would it work with my existing alt or does it have to be a fresh account to count?

Edit: looks like it has to be a new account.  They have a recruit video up.

The way I understand it, can be either as long as the existing has been inactive for 60 days.  New account can get a recruiter the tank by either 1M xp in toon or just buying a Tier X.  Reactivated account has to contribute 1M xp to the recruiters pool while tooning to get recruiter the tank.

1M xp.  Say that out loud.  The reactivated account also has to have been dormant for 60 days.

That isn't quite as daunting with all the holidays coming up. Should be a shit ton of x3 and x5 weekends between now and the first week of January or so. How long do you have to complete it?


I haven't played for a week, but a reroll might be fun.

According to AutismSpeaks, you can double up a new account code (free low tier prem tank + premium time) with a refer a friend.   Can anyone confirm this?

Get the code before you click the referral link.  I'm hoping that works.  I think I may make a reroll as well.

Godfuckingdamn pubbies straight to the fiery depths of every Hell. Every fucking match 8 or above, I look up and a 44% shitlord in a tier 10 is right at the top like a bright red blood-covered turd. Can't overcome bad top tier tanks, and there are SO. MANY. TERRIBLE players who have failed to tier 10 and now happily drag every team that contracts them straight into the toilet.

They should have a type of pub match where the best player on each team take turns to pick from the player pool.

I started playing again since I've aced out most of the trees in War Thunder. This time though I decided to put some effort into it and installed XVM for the first time. Seeing all the other player's stats makes me wonder WTF matchmaker is doing even more than before. The good news is I'm not anywhere close to the worst player in any of the matches. Not awesome, but at least I've a four digit efficiency rating. That seems to be a much better measurement than winrate.

Even if I could afford one, I don't think I could squeeze it into my case. Bought a GTX 760 instead. Minor upgrade from my 6970 and I am away from AMD, which makes me happy.

Looks like one of my games playing the T49 was recorded by someone in -G-, Junkershiryu.  It shows how fun the derp gun can be...when everything goes right.  Battle starts at about the 1:53:00 mark and ends around 2:01:30.
