NotWearingPants posted:Apart from choosing a nation, get the hell out of the low tiers ASAP. You may think it's a good idea to hang around playing tiers 1-3 to get a feel for the game before you move up, but don't. The low tiers are generally a poo poo show where it takes forever to get into a game outside of prime time and then 1 or 2 experienced players run around seal clubbing a bunch of newbies who have no idea what the hell is going on. Yeah, this. People say you should start at the bottom to learn to play. That's bullshit. Tiers 1-3 are entirely different from 4 and up. It's just a giant turd of fail hards

welcome to world of tanks, here is a go-kart with a .50 cal strapped to it but be warned, your crew is blind and are particularly bad at actually doing anything. you also do not go as fast as a go-kart. god speed.

Tier 4 is also the tier which is widely considered the most brutal tier in the game to get through, for a lot of reasons. With a couple of exceptions like the Matilda and the SU-85B, tier 4 tanks tend to be... well, crap. And that wouldn't be so bad, they're better than the tanks before them, but they're SO much worse than the tier 5s and 6s, and they'll face tier 5s and 6es a lot. There are some gems at that tier but generally speaking you'll want to find a buddy to help get you through it ASAP. You should be playing with Goon buddies anyway, of course.

Anyone got some advice for what equipment to use on a Skorp G? Been running Rammer, Binos, and Net cuz poor, but was thinking Rammer, GLD, Optics may be better?

Open beta when the US tree first showed up, it was 12 Lee's per side, rounds usually ended with whoever accidently spotted better. Or, it was 12 Lee's per side, and then a KV-3 per side that was essentially immune to a Lee and could reliably two shot them. Good times.

We didn't play together, mind you, but that's where I remember him from. Cardiac posted:We don't have to imagine it, think Province which wasn't locked to lower tier at the start. I said bowl maps (i.e. Mittengard) and no, Province is gone. Mans posted:Frontlines and new MM look really good ROFLburger posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL3bKKjzdsI Yeah, they pretty much took everything I mentioned (repairs/reloads, cumulative profits/expenses, respawning) except a more or less perpetual battle with at-will drop-in/out. This seems like it'd be a good way to grind tanks if they expand it beyond tier 10, but as it stands now it at least seems like something else to do with your top tiers since CW, for example, doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. Creamed Cormp posted:Holy poo poo do the new light tanks look absolutely worthless to play : poo poo DPM, guns that are guaranteed to miss half of their shots (lmao 0.42 acc at tier 10, coupled with typical french gun stats means that a third of your shots will miss at ranges above 100 meters, guaranteed), poo poo clips, poo poo survivability all that for 10 more meters to the spotting range. Literally ANY medium tank is going to outperform them massively, and the garbage map design means that 99% of the time the ever so slightly improved view range will be pointless. Prav posted:the actual bloom values are actually very good for all the T10s but the Rhm and Sheridan/152. but with 0,42-0,46 (lmao) base acc it still adds up a lot of loving misses. They seem to have very deliberately limited penetration and accuracy to prevent the new LTs from being used as CHAI-snipers. It appears that they want the new LTs to be pure scouts (holding fire at range) and then close-range ambushers, akin to the autoloader playstyle. a glitch posted:So I'm just starting out - going by the OP I'm considering going with Soviet, Chinese or British tanks, but I was wondering how the Czech and Swedish trees are? They're not covered in the OP. As others have mentioned, you'll probably have the easiest time with the US, Soviet, or German trees (the original three.) I suppose the UK one will be OK as well, but avoid the French and Chinese to begin with (we'll explain this later.) Do seek the assistance of veteran goons though: NotWearingPants posted:Information on joining the Goon Tanks/Boats Discord and also joining the in-game goons chat channel is in the OP in this thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3516406 Even I've stopped habitually entering the in-game Goons channel, because I've got most goons in PANSY and most of them regardless are on Discord. L-Boned posted:WoT would be a lot less frustrating if the guns research applied to more tanks. For instance, the 88mm gun on the Panther II is technically different than on the tier 5 TD (can't remember the nomenclature). It was the same drat gun, and it is stupid you have to research it again. Pretty much true, but there has always been differentiation between tank and TD guns (think KWK vs. PAK on the German line) in WoT where the guns are basically the same but the TD versions are a little better. It's a total XP sink/speedbump though, you're right. By the way, the Panther 2 has the "regular" long 88 like the Tiger for example, and the JT has the TD version of that; the tier 5 Toaster has a unique version of the TD gun (lower pen and aim time, otherwise pretty much the same.) Stringbean posted:I finally unlocked the Strv m/74. That giant sloped turret doesn't bounce poo poo does it? I am really enjoying the gun handling on it however, the Strv m/42 is pure garbage compared to this one, so far. The Swedish MTs do gain better gun handling as you go up the tiers but they don't have armor (until they transition to HTs at tier 8.)

So let's say i'm starting on the NA server from scratch and want to get up to at least tier 5/6 asap and i'm willing to spend some money to do it, what would be the most efficient way? I'm thinking buying a gold+credits bundle and 2-3 premiums for exp conversion/crew training? Maybe tack on some exp/crew exp boosters?

Buy a Cromwell B or Rudy, do two thousand stronghold battles, store up a bunch of free XP, have fun. Even without converting, you get a poo poo ton of experience by doing fastbois strongholds, and 5% of that should be plenty for modules. Don't bother buying boosters, they give those loving things away like crazy. I guess you could also buy a Defender and do a bunch of tier 8 strongholds with that too and also make a hundred million credits.

What i meant was to gather enough free exp to unlock tier 5 or 6 tanks without having to grind up through the lower tiers. I'm looking at tanks i'm familiar with so the american and russian mediums and heavies predominantly although i don't mind the german meds either. I have less than 10 games on my NA account and don't really want to deal with the lower tiers and wait times.

How does the Improve result thing work for personal missions? I did HT-15-3 without honors last night (poked out of base in Malkanovka, blocked 10k, shot 2 peeps, and died). If I try to repeat it to get honors got I lose the reward? Does claiming the female crew member prevent me from repeating it?
