Actually I guess the Japanese Heavy line starts at tier 3, but I dunno what you consider a superheavy. Tier 3 weighs 20 tons Tier 4, 30 tons Tier 5, 100 tons Tier 6, 150 tons Basically if you touch one of these things with a same tier tank, you'll swiftly disassemble into individual Legos.

hows the wz-5a and 132-1? got enough free xp to get one of them. I love playing lights, but the wz 111-1-4 has been one of my favorite tanks in this game... Both look really nice on paper

I haven’t played in like a year, already have hundreds of games in the t9 and the t8 premium, I’m not interested in poopsocking to get the t10 and I want to play something new.

The 5A is pretty good, although I only played it on CT a while back so I never got to see how it fares when goldammo isn't being hurled around by everything. That being said, I do see them around often on EU so I'm guessing it still holds up well. The 113 on the other hand looks to be as rare as rocking-horse poo poo right now, probably on account of the """meta""" being

I haven't played it but I understand the T10 Chinese light to be pretty much the cream of the crop, while both of the Chinese heavies are extremely good as well. Can't really go wrong. If you have a fat stack of free xp burning a hole in your pocket, why not spend it on a line with a different playstyle entirely? Free xp up to the tier 8 Italian? Swedish TDs/heavies? Go past all the bullshit British heavies to the Caern or something?

Meh, I'll just get the light and do the heavy later. Got 5 skill crews for both I think. t10 lights sounds funky... Already got the Swedish td, heavy heavies are not really my play style and the spaghetti leo with an autoloader doesn't sound too interesting.

So this new Caernarvon is only available in a stupid rear end bundle? I was thinking I'd get like 30-40% off a ~$50 tank, looks like that's wrong. A $50 tank and $25 of nonsense. I think I'll pass.

I think I'll pass. I've cracked the 70% off, but even at 50% - 60%, there's a ton of credit boosters, and a 0-skill BIA crew in addition to the 50$ tank, so I'd say it'd still be worth it to get a whole bunch of dope crew members that you can either keep together, or retrain as 0-skill 6th sense commanders for other brit vehicles. Hell, I think tier VIII was the same amount of XP for the secondary as tier VII, so I might just see if I cram in another 40 games of the 13 57 by Friday, that should be fairly doable for a 80% discount while still being fun.

With no discount it's overpriced as hell, but that's the point of the missions, to at least get the price down to a reasonable amount for a competitive Tier 8 medium, a BIA crew, and a shitload of the actual useful boosters.

The crew would be nice to have but I have more boosters than I know what to do with and I hate paying their extremely inflated prices for gold/credits/equipment.

Yeah, I think even the players that score below 700 average XP per game could easily breach the 50% discount by literally just playing on the weekends. I average around 800-900 XP in my most fun tanks, with 940 average XP in my MOST favorite tank, so getting the whole package down to 25 bucks by just playing was no effort at all, and the next step was just saying "okay, I'll just play the 13 57 for a couple of hours this weekend".

Okay, I take everything back, I'm perfectly happy with my current AX discount, two casual hours of tanks tonight and a 40% session winrate. Why is there even still a 4x win bonus on a Monday? These teams, uuuuugh I might see how the next couple of matches tomorrow turn out, but I'd rather pay some sweet socialism dollars than suffer through these pubbies

Getting bounce's with its turret is pretty great.

The problem with a 0-skill BIA British crew is that there aren't many keepers in the British line. There's what, the Cruisers 2/3/4, the Matilda, maybe the CGC (the Bishop and FV304 are dead) and maybe the Conq/Super Conq, and the Cromwell/Comet. A lot of those are redundant or low tier. Also don't give Wargaming money.

You know what this game needs? More Skorpion Gs! With a partially-rotating turret to make the P2W a little less obvious. But with more alpha.

Why are you guys grinding for that dumb tank? It's like a bad paytriot also its always going to be a bottom tier slow heavy tank. $7 isn't bad for a bia crew though.
