Got hooked back in with some COME BACK COMMANDER WE NEED YOU! e-mail, and I'm surprised this runs so well on my laptop with no gpu. Seriously better than when I played with my old desktop, and it's weird how I'm having better fps with this. After couple of terrible warmup games, I managed to score my first ace with Alecto.

Took a break from this game and holy moley the amount of new tanks! I'm also back to being 40% scrub lord since I still can't play for poo poo. Anyhoo, how are these lines to play: German TDs with Nashorn, Russian mediums A-43 and up (and obj 140), British TDs and arties, Japanese and Czech in general?

After not giving WG money in god knows how many years, I succumbed. No IS-3A, but 25 box haul gave me KV-220-2, Skorpion, Defender, some IS-7 style, 8250 gold and 25 days of premium, so still obviously better than just buying gold from the store. Took the Skorpion for a test drive and it didn't feel like a balanced tank either, so IS-3A must be something else.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Also, what's the verdict on the French Bat-Chat mediums? I'm wondering if I should stick with the B-C 12t to unlock the T9 medium as well, or just power through to the AMX 13-90 immediately. Of course it's a bit of a moot point seeing as the Top of the Tree ends tomorrow and there's no way I'm unlocking the T10 light by then. I'm at about 130k/180k to unlock the AMX 13-90 as it is. They're great, you can clip same tier mediums to death with both, they're fast, and have decent camo.

The tier 7 and 8 scare a lot of people off the line, though, especially when they can just play the tier 8 prem. Didn't Standard B get nerfed pretty hard? It's still probably not the worst line of tier 8 and 9 to play, but I've been putting off playing Pantera because of that.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:So ultimately it comes down to "if you're having fun, by all means spend money. If you're not, why are you spending money?" This really. I personally took a break for years since I was just fed up with the game and decisions wg made. Now I've been spending tenner a month and don't mind it at all since I'm having fun again. My guess is it's because I've been playing lower tiers more than I used to thanks to battle pass points.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:The end result? Arty still fires stun shells 90% of the time but does less damage than before. Getting focused by multiple arty is still a complete loving nightmare, but playing arty is so irritating now that the numbers are dropping pretty fast. Despite them talking about reworks and more exciting gameplay it was a huge nerf across the board, and of course they didn't undo any of the earlier nerfs (like nuking arty's credit earning coefficients or XP gains) so now you'll lose money all the time and good luck trying to complete any missions. Seconding this. Tier 6 games tend to still have arties (M44 supremacy still reigns there), but of the tier 8 games most are without arty whatsoever. I think only time I saw them yesterday was when I played one myself to get daily mission done.

Atomizer posted:I had XP banked on the T1HT so I immediately unlocked the Pawlack tank, but I haven't purchased it yet. It looks like a worse M6, so for those of you who've played it, is it worth skipping or not? Haven't played it myself yet, but what I've heard 6 and 8 are highlights of that line. It is shaped better than M6 imo, and it's a whole lot better on the move so you can actually get into action.

The French Army posted:Downloading this stupid loving game again after years of not playing. What do I need to know? The first thing that struck me is how insanely expensive the premium tanks are now, what the gently caress. HE shells got nerfed, so you can't spam hull down tanks with them anymore like you used to. Or well, you can, but you're probably dealing like 20 damage instead of 200. Made some tanks even bigger monsters than before, like T95/Chieftain and Object 279(e), and some pretty worthless, like japanese heavies from tier 7 onward. They're still good depending on tank if you can pen with them though. Arty got nerfed too, and they now have 3 types of shells: damaging splash shell, stunning shell, and ap shell. Others than stunning are pretty much a trap. As a result, the amount of arties is a lot smaller now, and I think I haven't seen 3 arty game since the changes went in. This means there tends to be more heavies in games, as the things they were weak against are gone. There's more equipment now, things like improved aiming that makes your aiming circle smaller, or turbocharger that increases engine power and top speed. New thing is field modifications, which are something that you can spend exp on your elited tanks for bonuses on some stats, while nerfing some others. These modifications also allow you to take second set of shells and second set of equipment and choose between them before battle starts. You can peek at some suggestions on what to use on tanks at skill4ltu.eu. Bunch of QoL mods got put into the base game, like detection circles, team hp, etc, so you can play pretty much modless without being gimped compared to others. Only one I use myself is Mark of Excellence mod. Oh, and there's a ton of bullshit premiums at tier 8 now that just poo poo on most tech tree tanks of same tier, but you'll learn about them pretty drat soon. Other than these it's pretty much the same game as it used to be. Be patient, use your tanks strengths, and pray for rng gods.

biracial bear for uncut posted:Are they fast enough to have a chance to run up and ram an enemy tank before getting blown up enemy shells? Yes. However you're the lightest Tier X tank in the game, so you'll lose the exchange even against EBR. I've been playing that line now, and it's a miserable experience. They have few things going for them, and those are marginally better camo, penetration, and gun depression compared to other light lines, and well, only penetration seems to be consistent, and that's only with silver ammo. Others can just push 2 and get better pen than Brights. Oh, and guns are loving derpy to boot, so you're gonna miss that marginally better penning shot. And how about that DPM? Tier 7s, Brit: 1360, Chinese: 1841, US 2086. Same poo poo goes on at every tier. I mean sure, other light lines tier Xes aren't always stellar, but at least the lines tend to have something going for them, at least one tank or something. Like you can have autoloader, being wheeled rear end hole, good gun handling with speed on hills, small assholes with bouncy turrets. Even chinese line has tier VII being great tank, if nothing else. British line has nothing, not a single tank worth playing at all. After Crusader that is, that's not a bad tank for tier VI.

God dammit, I'm tempted by the Progetto 46 sale since I didn't play during the marathon, and I'd even have a coupon to bring the price down a bit. Someone tell me it's a bad tank, and I shouldn't give WG money, thanks.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Sorry, but it's one of the most op tier 8 premiums in the game. When WG decided that Italian autoloaders could no longer use gun rammers, they baked a gun rammer reload bonus into the Progetto, so you essentially get four pieces of equipment on it. Well gently caress me then. Maybe I'll forget it while their shop is hosed, can't use my coupon on anything now for some reason. On the mm thing, I don't think matchmaking can make that platoon fair in any way. Kranvagn, 60TP are at least good tier Xs, and Type 5 is poo poo compared to literally anything else.

So how does this mark of excellence stuff work? 3 days ago I started O-Ni and my mod said it needed 750 (lol) for 100% performance, and now it says it needs 1600. Is this just mod being quirky or does the value fluctuate that wildly?

sauer kraut posted:Don't grind the Jap heavies. Any gold shell will pen them right through the turret front (10x easier then even Germans), and uhh credits are not really an issue atm. Yeah, I think I'll stop this line at tier 7, I like it and tier 6 for some odd reason, while the later ones get to be put in games with vastly better counterparts. Also figured out why the MoE values are so odd. They were simply based on the number of games I had played with the tank, and comparing them to others with similar number of games.

AT7, the camo scout: Our team lost the hill, so I just stayed in a bush I created next to church, and team made magic happen. Most likely won us the game as enemy cobra farmed the hell out of our team and we were left with two tds at 150 hp and arty.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:I am really into the Italian TDs. Only on the T7 so far, but it's an excellent assault TD. When you're playing against equal tier or lower tier enemies, you can do some REAL aggro poo poo and you'll bounce poo poo from even higher tier opponents. Yeah, they seem a pain in the rear end to deal with. I've been playing British slow-but-possibly-brick-wall TDs, and Italians seem like better versions of them in every way, at least when they're the ones opposing me.
