Just a heads up for those who don't read the website. But the Defender is going on sale late this Feb.

Would be a good time to pay to win if you don't already have it.

Yeah, you aren't going to get it in a tier 6 tank outside of a spectacular game.

The hp you have is the difference. You only need to get 5 hits and die in a tier 10 to get it done.

You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.


I've been considering reinstalling on PC but I haven't played in a while. As in, last time i played the Batchat was just introduced a few months earlier. I just burned out on it playing with the goon clan defending Alsace and some other place daily and sometimes at odd hours. I had a good chunk of stuff unlocked at the time.

Can anyone give me a short lost of what has changed? I heard arty is limited per side now...

You're gonna get quoted a lot so I might as well throw in what I know. Ive been playing a little over a year now so depending on what has changed I can give you a rundown:

Arty is limited per platoon (One) and per side up to three is the cutoff. Everyone hates arty still and nothing much has changed in that department.

They added tanks with super neat suspension, wheels instead of tracks, russian reverse autoloaders, and finally russian double barrel tanks taken straight from command and conquer.

If you do reinstall let us know and we can shoot you an invite to our discord and clan.

There's some good fun to be had still, even if some of the old headaches persist.

If you do come back, make sure to get a referral link from someone. Basically gives you free premium account bonuses for a while (stacks with premium and other boosts).

Yeah, this mission is very difficult to get done at tier 6. Don't worry too hard about HT-15 for now, I made that mistake when I was much newer.

You CAN get that mission done with the Soviet heavies, but the viability for that kind of starts at tier 7 with the KV-3 and its big dome turret. I think I did it myself with the American T29, which is still the God of Hulldown Combat.

You're still pretty new, right? Focus for now on just developing map sense, minimap awareness, and patience. All three of those will serve you super well going forward. Also enjoy the T-150 once you completely kit it out, that 107mm is a really good gun.

If anyone wants to send me a referral link I'm down with that. The coworker that borrowed my account (and trashed my W/L) also spent all my gold so I got poo poo and nothing now I'm pretty sure.

I had hear light tank matchmaking was overhauled? I used to absolutely love playing the Chaffee. I had a 58-59% solo win rate in that and I loved spotting for the team even though I couldn't pen a single thing on the field unless I could shoot it in the rear end.

EDIT: I should have something to play at all levels, I had most all of the US tree with most everything maxxed out and crewed. Varying amounts of the Russian line and not much German and French if I remember back like 7 years or so.

Wargaming is starting to release badass 3D skins for premium tanks and you bet I got the one for the Progetto:

2500 gold

They also got one for the AMX 50 for 5000 gold

These own and more are on the way apparently. Armored patrol has a lot of leaks and details on what is coming. But also WG themselves announced stuff in their Feb sneak peek. Like a special style for the IS-3?

The option to change from the current qualification to another is not greyed out for me. So changing their major qualification appears to be available.

I guess they really just want people to burn 500 gold, instead of giving them the chance to change it when its recruited.

Edd and I carried a game at Tier 7 in a Tier 9 game last night that I forgot to talk about. (E- And Redeye Flight oops sorry mate)







On the one hand. This is the 2nd mastery I have ever gotten. But on the flip side I accidentally loaded nothing but gold so it kinda worked out in the end.

Just look how bad the T9 tanks were in this game. Look at it

You get 100 tokens a day just for fighting a battle, so that's 2500 tokens if all you do is play a single battle every day--not even WIN. The missions that don't include BiA and Crucial Contribution add up to another 90 tokens per day. You don't need to even touch those two top missions to get the highest tier of reward.

This. The top reward is loving easy to get if you have at least one platoon buddy per day. The BiA/CC missions are just a bonus, if you even have the fortune to get them (okay BiA is """easy""" enough but CC is bullshit and I have about three of those in 34k battles).

Sell them before you re earn them. Then sell the Valentine II again because that tank sucks rear end and I played over 400 games in it when I was grinding low tiers. The tank sucks and I hated buying that tank. Please sell your Valentine II.
