No KV-5, clearly a terrible list :colbert:

Just an FYI for anyone who hasn't been obsessively keeping up on WoT news, the E-25 is no longer available to buy in-game and will be gone from the online store sometime in January. After that you won't be able to buy it at all except through special sales which may not even happen given how OP it is, if the fate of the Type 59 is any guide.

It's also included in the premium shop sale that's on right now, so you can get it for like $22.

I love my church 3 because it makes poo poo loads of cash and can easily pen anything it sees. Will the E-25 be similar?

I don't actually own one yet but def will get it before it disappears.

Speaking of the Church 3



First battle in it and goddamn I am already in love.

Between the KV-220 and the Churchill III, I prefer the Church. The KV is certainly fun because it's super bouncy, but its gun just doesn't have enough pen even with gold to take on teir 6 heavies. Basically, the Church can carry while the KV really can't.

Should have said that yes yes yes, the KV-220 is absolutely worth it regardless of how good it is compared to the Church 3.

How good is the WZ-111? By the time the missions are over I'll probably have 3 of them completed. Is the tank worth buying tokens for the other 4?

These missions are going to make you all frustrated as hell if you actively try to do them. I'm just going to activate them all and let them slowly tick away as I play normally.
One of my current missions is to set a tank on fire. Yeah, brb, let me just go and do that.

Cromwell rocks. I'll open a can of worms here but whats the Comet like, if it's more of the same i'll be happy.
The Comet was one of my least favorite grinds above tier 4. It's fantastically mediocre in every way except maybe gun depression. But the Cents own so it's definitely worth it. Keep your Cromwell to blow off steam from Comet losses imo.

e: What do I love about it? The armor is very bouncy with few obvious weak spots, its gun is perfectly fine if you shoot gold, and it's very nimble despite being slow. This makes it a great brawler if you know how to handle it. Also, it turns turns a huge profit win or lose and is a great crew trainer that supports my my Russian medium addiction.

Here, have my other ace replay

Having never played any arty beyond the Sexton II, these SPG individual missions are particularly excruciating. I've got the Birch Gun and the tier 4 American SPG, what's the fastest route to one that can do 1000 damage in a battle without a huge dose of luck?

It would have been nice if these winter mission tanks were premium so I could cycle crew through them easier.

Agreed, that would be very nice. But actually, having a poo poo/non-trained crew in the 8bit tanks isn't that big of a handicap. The mission requirements are laughably easy if you know what you're doing.

Is there any reason to keep those free premium lights I've accumulated?

They're all pretty garbage. I sold all mine for the slots and the credits. Keep them for bragging rights and/or in the hope of a massive buff to make them fun to play.

e: Most missions are tier 4 and up. The free lights don't count.

The 100mm LB-1 carries over to the T-54, so you'll have to grind through it anyway. Don't bother unlocking the 122mm gun unless you, like me, insist on eliting every tank you play.

Well, some WG moderator edited out the "abusive content" in the PM that rear end in a top hat sent me. I hope and pray to the tank gods that he got slapped with a few warning points and is on his way to a forum ban.

Sometimes pubbies are against you, and sometimes they're for you.

The enemy team won an entire side through stupidity on my team, and then let me solo cap while they tangled with the last few stragglers. I think they tried to capture our base for about 30 seconds and then said "gently caress it, we're gonna try to murder everyone instead of winning."

The accuracy change is a big improvement not only for derps as mentioned above, but for snipers too. There will be far fewer situations where 80% of your aim circle is on an exposed enemy flank 400m away and the RNG decides your shot is going to fly off towards the edge instead of the center. I suspect this will at least partially make up for the TD viewrange nerfs.

Is the Comet the "good player" tank? Agrajag got over 2400 in damage and 4 kills and only got 2nd class mastery.

No, the Comet sucks. Its just hard to get masteries when you lose, though getting Steel Wall helped. He might have gotten ace instead of 2nd class if he had won.

KV-2 tier VI game, I one-shot two KV-2s (which was really, really funny) and murder three other tanks (including an M6) for a total of 2500 dmg - so I guess that means my team has to make up for this and kill nobody so we could still lose. Tsssss.

So tomorrow will be jammed packed with the premium Japanese tanks. So whats the best tank to go and shoot pubbies ? KV-1S with the 120mm? M4 with the derp? Pz4 with the derp?

Wolverine with derp fires 2-3 seconds faster than the M4 and has better camo without losing the turret :yotj:

In a similar vein, how is the A-43 to Obj. 430 line? I've been wanting to feed my Soviet medium addiction with it but I'm apprehensive about the rear-mounted turrets and awful gun depression. Also I've heard that the 430 is trash compared to the other tier 10 mediums, is this true?
