Max I already got from draws were attachments

[blissful cave]

Lmao not even new tier 8 crates there’s an offer for like 100 or 120$ or something and you don’t even get enough to gurantee it’s 25 crates and 5 of some bs like collect em alls

[solid gate]

Certified WG tactic

@blissful cave Do you have the T21?

[solid gate]

It's an American VI collector light

[blissful cave]

Yees surprisingly

[solid gate]

I sent WG a ticket to restore mine, all I remember is that it was from a subscription and that is like a T-20, used it like 3 times then sold

I found again that it existed while going through the tanks in my stats

[blissful cave]

I remember when I first started the game they had this free daily subscription for parts thing
I’ve never seen them do anything like that since (for an actual rare collector tank that is otherwise impossible to get)

[solid gate]

If I remember right it was like 20 parts per day, I think it was one of the first subscriptions

I just wish I had taken all of the High Score's subscription

[blissful cave]

They do it for stuff like “get your medjay…again” or nightmare or something but never something actually interesting like that

I wish they’d actually do something about making the old tanks available someone who started somewhat recently like me (a year ago) has zero access to these tanks they’re 100% impossible

[solid gate]

Yeah, like the Sherman Jumbo

[blissful cave]

And they don’t ever make them event prizes or something only rarely in the luxury lounge (sometimes they’re there sometimes they’re not and it’s just basic premiums)

[blissful cave]

That’s the main one I want most
There’s few others I really want too like Medium III after finding out what that is

[solid gate]

I don't know what blocks them from doing that with old collector tanks. Instead of this T23E3, it could've been one of those for example, would make the event more interesting for more people

[blissful cave]

Yea they’ve been picking the most boring prizes for event tanks this year

T23E3? That one’s literally in the shop 24/7
Matilda BP was one of the luxury lounge tanks the event where old collectors are most likely to be available…a tank that’s also in the shop 24/7 AND had a cheap shop offer at the time of the event too

Then others like Eagle 7 i love the Eagle 7 but if you’ve opened operation containers it’s the most common parts so something else would be neat

[solid gate]

I wish we could get Tiger 131 parts more often, the event had it but I've only got T44-100 parts

[blissful cave]

Thinking of other ones this year
Scavenger…really

Panzer IV S in a luxury lounge when it was given out for free like twice in the span of a year

Repeating last year events like CS-52 and medjay at the same time as last year (but if I want MS-1? Too bad you missed the event for that you’re not getting it)

[solid gate]

Maybe in 2045 they give us a event with a tank like the Jumbo lol

[blissful cave]

We didn’t even get a BP of jumbo I was hoping they would (and not look horrendous)

Like default ranger is literally just T21 with a pipe frame and a solar panel it looks almost the same as a default

https://eu.wotblitz.com/en/news/updates/low-level-vehicles-changes/ oh how I want em

[solid gate]

Something I am confused, is the Super Pershing a camo for Pershing or a separate tank?

[meager spindle]

seperate

[blissful cave]

Separate tank

But irl T26E4 was an upgrade to the Pershing and the Super Pershing comes from the one in service in Europe where it was given extra armor plates using pieces of a destroyed panther

[solid gate]

Okay, thanks

[solid gate]

I'll probably get my T21 restored tomorrow, so in case you want to do a T21 platoon, i think it might be fun

[blissful cave]

Yees

I haven’t played my T21 much but I am starting to really like it appreciating how rare it is and probably the most unique tank in my collection

[solid gate]

My IGN is the same as here

[blissful cave]

Sure my Strv K and Charlemagne are really rare or expensive right now but anyone can get them with enough gold/money
T21? Impossible no matter what you cannot get T21 rn

And I didn’t even get it from a battle pass or luxury lounge like my other removed tanks

[solid gate]

I had no idea it wasn't obtainable anymore before you said, I am glad I got it in time i guess

[blissful cave]

Luxury lounge is probably the best way I guess to get these tanks

[solid gate]

I remember that when I left the game for a time one year ago was because I spent all my XP on the luxury lounge lol

[blissful cave]

They removed em because idk they don’t want new players to have em?
So why not just have em in a way that they’re for people that are assumably more progressed in the game

All the new premiums are just tier 8 9 and 10 why not give us some new low tier toys to screw around with (I mainly want em for the historic significance a lot of interwar and WW2 tanks are here)

Just let me get my thicc Sherman I like that tank a lot

[solid gate]

Yeah, it doesn't need to be a OP High tier tank, more collector low tiers with cool looks would make the low tiers much more diverse, which right now consists of basically of the same german and soviet tanks

make something like the Romania's upgraded R35 on Tier II, since the normal R35 is tier I

[blissful cave]

They’d make some nice rewards in events I’d definitely try a lot harder if they were rare rewards instead of ya know…generic tier 7’s that you most likely have or if not can just buy in the shop for less than 5$

Like what if these tanks are special because you can only get them in limited time events (as opposed to never) and if you miss an event it’ll come back eventually in another event (better than never)

[solid gate]

better than repeating the same tanks on the events

[blissful cave]

Seriously I’ve been here for less than a two years and I’ve seen multiple tanks repeated in events

[solid gate]

I know, it's free, but they choosing the T23E3 for this event was kinda weird seeing that it has the exact same playstyle as the basilisk that is also currently for free on the season, on the same tier

[blissful cave]

Where as some I’ve never seen possible at all

Aaaagh WG just sell the GuP tanks and make the old collectors obtainable already pleeease

Put em in some crate or something “throwback crate” or some name like that or whatever

[solid gate]

me waiting for Primo Victoria to come in a event in blitz (it won't)

[plucky summit]

Me waiting

[blissful cave]

I always think they’re gonna do something to bring back GuP but they just won’t
10 year anniversary of the series last year…nothing
New episode FINALLY released? Nothing no special offer or anything

[solid gate]

imagine waiting

[blissful cave]

They don’t even have to add new ones (though I would love that) just let me buy the ones already in the game

[plucky summit]

Love you too

[timid cipher]

I am trying to play my tiger 2 like a sniper because the turret armor is 231 mm front

[safe acorn]

Dude..
Why

[solid gate]

...Are you sure you're using the right tank for that?

[wary summit]

Tank has a trollish weakspot, supplemented by a narrow design and a circular mantlet
"I'm not going to risk that"

[uncut spindle]

Hii

Any tips for playing medium tank with no armour

[harsh elm]

play as if ur on 1 hp

[solid gate]

@blissful cave from what I've seen, apparently T21 was a removed tech tree tank or so, that came back on that subscription

[harsh elm]

ye it used to be tech tree

[timid cipher]

See

[lyric copper]

licensing rights: n o.

[solid gate]

And if you use a building or rock to cover your sides, it can hold apcr in the front except for the turret, but little bit of shaking solves that

I don't know how you find the armor of this tank bad

[earnest rapids]

its not telling you to do exactly that
it only calculates the stats of particular aspect of the tank
in this case the gun being rather good plays into the calculation of the long range sniping which is why it shows average but in reality you SHOULD NOT even camp and snipe with it

if you do im gonna hunt down your entirely family

[harsh elm]

long range sniping - average 💀

[lapis anvil]

KV2 long range sniping- God level

[timid cipher]

Sorry because I am new to the tiger 2

[earnest rapids]

simple thing:

• tank destroyers - allowed to camp (some dont)
• non tank destroyers - dont camp at all

[timid cipher]

Ok

Soo medium tanks can't pen the tiger 2
TD can pen the tiger 2
Heavy tanks can pen the tiger 2 (some can't pen)

I am right?

[odd cove]

all of that depends on what part of the tiger is being shot at, and from where; like for all tanks
in general though, yes

[onyx raven]

Don’t think of it in terms of tank classes, think of it as individual tanks. Some heavies and TDs have difficulty taking on a Tiger II and some have an easy time. It’s a case-by-case basis where no scenario occurs twice.

[timid cipher]

How do I play the tiger 2

[wispy trench]

Usually when face on enemy is wiggle the hull ( don't expect apply in tier 9 when everyone will load some prammo ).

But in top tier game... U can bully some tier 7s due low prammo pen on some tanks even prammo.

As always on above me on guide...

Follow some step to how will hide the weakspot.

[timid cipher]

What

Is it OK to play tiger 2 like a tiger 1

[wispy trench]

I have the tiger 2 and sometimes is extra careful but when face other tier 8 is just wiggle...

Its more like tiger 1 but that thing will feel like semi-super heavy.

[dapper violet]

Front towards enemy

You have higher alpha

[wispy trench]

Yup... Face the enemy ( unless tier 8 with high pen on prammo will cut the super structure ).

[violet timber]

1. Run enhanced armor.
2. Know your angles.
3. Play mega confident.

[wary summit]

Anything with ~260mm of pen can butter through you frontally, so do angle a bit

[timid cipher]

Pov you, try angling your tiger 2

[silver torrent]

600 damage

[wary summit]

Well atleast you're bouncing

Now try to up that dmg

[timid cipher]

Ok

700 damage

[silver torrent]

how is bro averaging below 1k damage with 2 years avatar 😭😭😭

[timid cipher]

Tiger 1

@silver torrent

[wary summit]

Are you using the 88, mid-105 or the late 105?

[dapper violet]

Get the mid 105

[timid cipher]

88 cm

[timid cipher]

I have it

[amber geode]

Skill issue

[timid cipher]

I do better in the tiger 1

[timid cipher]

Look

[wary summit]

Just use the 105

You're just handicapping yourself and the team by using the 88

[timid cipher]

I use 105 cm but I am still bad

[dapper violet]

Did you get the upgraded turret

[timid cipher]

Yes

[grave skiff]

Best canon

[timid cipher]

I F@#$#ING DID NOT PEN A LIGHT TANK HOW

[plucky summit]

Which tank did you shoot at?

[timid cipher]

TIGER 2

[grave skiff]

Vickers lt moment

[plucky summit]

That… is a heavy tank

[timid cipher]

MY TIGER 2 DID NOT PEN A LIGHT TANK HOW IN THE F@#$@

[plucky summit]

What was the light tank
Also don’t use profanity, even if abbreviated

[balmy compass]

must have shot the side of a LTTB

[timid cipher]

[plucky summit]

Did you hit its track and nothing else?

[timid cipher]

I HIT THE TURRET

[plucky summit]

Ah, autoricochet be that way

[balmy compass]

crazy

[timid cipher]

[plucky summit]

Okay and?

[timid cipher]

[placid geyser]

Add invisible tanks like pz.IV.INVISIBLE

[timid cipher]

Lol

[wary summit]

A true wunderwaffe

[lyric copper]

WW2 German equipment according to wehraboos:

[balmy compass]

"just blindfire the enemy tank"

[timid cipher]

Gn guys

[exotic lodge]

Is this worth it?

[limpid ether]

hell nah to the nah nah nah

[rich blade]

CDC is currently not such a good premium and due to the massive size and no armor pretty hard to play

However if u rly bad want it 5k seems like a solid price for a tier 8 even if its garbo

[thin cave]

what kv 1 modules should i use

[amber flume]

Not the massive gun. Its horreble

[limpid ether]

use the 122mm gun, its very fun

[opaque zodiac]

Do not trust him unless you use prammo

[limpid ether]

trust me, 122mm is THE best caliber in this game

[opaque zodiac]

It's inaccurate

[limpid ether]

inaccurate my arse i always hit my targets in my KV-1S and IS-5

[opaque zodiac]

My ap shot missed a leopard with a small circle

[limpid ether]

have you tried drinking vodka and listening to slav king earr*pe at max volume?

[opaque zodiac]

I listen to hard bass in full volume

[unborn hemlock]

is this a good buy

[limpid ether]

if you know how to play light tanks then yes

[blissful cave]

Droodles blitz camo lmao

[violet timber]

That’s just a twister cup camo lmao

[frank geyser]

Should i?

[wary summit]

No

[frank geyser]

Alright

[honest rampart]

What is this username bruh

[barren zodiac]

One of the best tier 8 lights
In my opinion better than hwk

[sleek gorge]

Why they keep doing ma boy 121b dirty like that? The camo looks ass now

[thin cave]

idk

[blissful cave]

Todays tank of the day is the M40 Gun motor carriage artillery built on the E8 Sherman hull

[balmy compass]

One of the Sherman variants out of the hundreds that exist lol

[obsidian birch]

is super conq worth for 20k gold? I've 66% and 3k avg on mk6 for example

[solid gate]

sconq is a less fun chieftain imo

it’s slower and has worse gun handling and it doesn’t have hesh anymore. it has better turret armor tho

[violet timber]

Skonk > chief, it has spaced armor so it looks cooler

[silver vine]

Is m4fl10 a good investment

[lyric copper]

how is it an opinion when it is true

hulldown that actually requires decent knowledge and skil to avoid getting penned in a weakspot will > brainless hulldown which makes you rage when you get penned

[dapper violet]

Have you considered running like a complete madman with the skonk, as you have actual side armor

[hidden grove]

Should i get the chrysler K for 6.5k? I already have a good premium (keiler) and i have 9.7k gold. Should i save up for something more important or should i go for it?

[blissful cave]

Don’t
It’s the free reward in the Christmas event coming

(Sorry low quality screenshot)

[hidden grove]

Is it confirmed? And will it be hard to get?

[blissful cave]

It is confirmed it’s from their coming soon video
And it takes half as long to get as the snow globe but still a while i guess

But the thing is a normal person won’t have enough time for both
Last year I wanted just the snowglobe and that still required grinding with every bit of free time I had don’t want that again

[solid gate]

when would you like to play T21?

[blissful cave]

So hopefully Chrysler is gold compensation or maybe I can get the snowglobe? But probably won’t try too hard since I have a lot of tanks and would be so mad to do all that just to get a duplicate

[blissful cave]

Sometime later today I can
going somewhere rn

[solid gate]

Okay

[solid gate]

What does the snowglobe do?

[blissful cave]

I was gonna play my T21 earlier but then I’m like wait I gotta do my last pass missions so I was just playing STB and AMX50 most of the time (Japanese medium and French heavy mission)

[blissful cave]

Gives you a guaranteed tank at random from a set list (tier 7-10’s and usually a selection of “good tanks” like rare/popular or “good stat” ones)

I’d hope to get something like super conqueror or WZ-1115A where I do want em but not enough to pay over 20k gold for it

[solid gate]

Ah, so similar to a mystery certificate

[blissful cave]

Yea but with no tier 5 and 6’s and not all the 7-10’s just a selection of em

Last year I got GSOR from my free one which was cool I think it was one of the most recent crate tanks at the time so it was still really rare

[solid gate]

I find the super conq. cool since it first appeared to me in a offer, but I am nowhere near the enough to pay for it

[blissful cave]

I have a ton of gold saved up for stuff but I don’t feel like spending half of it for a tank that I just simply want (not like SUPER want I must have it now)

I’m really excited for cobra like that’s my most hyped tank rn for some reason I just think it’s so cool

[solid gate]

Nice that you have enough for it

[blissful cave]

So I have enough to gurantee cobra since I see in the video it’s coming out in draw not crates
There’s NO way this draw is gonna be over 40k

[solid gate]

@blissful cave the T21 is slightly easy to get mastery badges for being rare, I got one in my first battle on it today

[blissful cave]

Strv K was my ace farm but I think not anymore

[meager saddle]

it's just like every year
230 wins in 10 days if you wanna get the tank on top as well you need about 28 wins a day if I'm not mistaken

[blissful cave]

Do you think they’ll do that thing that’s like “the first win of the day is worth more” tho

[meager saddle]

they didn't do that previously and I don't think they will

[rotund gull]

Nice Arty on the big Version

[blissful cave]

Yees I didn’t know about that one until I read more about this one it’s like over 200mm or something

[rotund gull]

But after the HE nerf.... its broken

[blissful cave]

203mm go brrrrr

[blissful cave]

I wouldn’t know I don’t have a PC so I can’t play wot pc or Thunder

Yees this game is (from what I’ve heard) the most laid back fun of them (I play casually for fun)
But what’s not fun is I’m stuck with all the unrealistic nonsense and would beg on my hands and knees for something as simple as solid color camos or decals

[blissful cave]

Bigger than 183 and FV4005’s gun
(Irl 4005 has a 183mm, in game it’s smaller for balance or something)

Imagine if FV4005 had two gun options the autoloader or single shot 183mm

FV4005 holds the crown for tank with the highest caliber ever mounted on a tank but even though other ones exist with bigger ones they’re not “tanks” I guess since they’re artillery or some other purpose

But still impressive that a 203mm was mounted on a Sherman hull at all even if it is just openly mounted on top

[opaque zodiac]

Is there any drawbacks when it's still on service?

[blissful cave]

Idk since I only found out that 203mm one existed today and didn’t look much into it since I was looking more for the one that’s TOD

I knew about the 155mm one (the one that’s tank of the day) M40 tho

[blissful cave]

Just a quick Wikipedia thing says they do their job well as stationary artillery I guess

[zenith shadow]

Tier 8 on pc

Isnt this a tier X on blitz?

[halcyon lotus]

yes

[quartz pecan]

Ку всем

[blissful cave]

Yea ik pc tiers are wack there’s a bunch that are just moved around

[misty wing]

blitz tiers are more wack than PC tbh

[thorny smelt]

BZ-176 is a monster in tier 8 unless you use tall tanks like the T-103, shoot the back of the gun and presto! Full HP ammo rack detonation.

[zenith shadow]

Was on the auction for cheaper i think

But bro this is a perfect example of those german captured variants tho

Why cant wg add more of em :C

[keen solstice]

do collector tnaks also get 2x credits like premiums?

[vagrant hawk]

Super conqueror or Badger i cant decide

[blissful cave]

I think Super conqueror is cooler

[shut tartan]

Nah

[opaque zodiac]

Thank you

[solid gate]

@honest rampart have you played the IS-7 line?

[pliant hare]

Going for maus and VK , but have only have enough for one , I like maus for the trolls but VK seems solid idk ?

[zenith shadow]

Maus

🐁

[blissful cave]

I played a match or two on mobile (I play on switch) and I’m absolutely amazed by the graphics and am like “there’s SUSPENSION physics?!”

[misty wing]

that's not on switch? tf

[blissful cave]

Nah switch has nothing
No suspension no chat significantly worse graphics

[misty wing]

bruh
you're missing out big time lol

is there even PBR?

[blissful cave]

I just get to play on a controller which I’m on some copium saying I’d rather have a controller with worse graphics than awful touch screen controls (and tiny screen) with good graphics
Touch screen is just unplayable to me

Basically playability > graphics
Though I wish I can have both

[misty wing]

apparently the switch has either a 6.2 or a 7 inch screen
which is on par with many phones

just hook up a PS5 controller to that or something?
idk if the game supports it though

[blissful cave]

Oh sh- you’re right I put up my phone to my switch screen and my switch screen is like barely bigger (but does have a thick black border that makes the device at least bigger

[misty wing]

yeah I have an S22 ultra which is 6.8 inches iirc

[blissful cave]

Butthe switch as an object is at least huge like including controllers and the screen borders make it better to hold
Like I even tried playing with the controllers disconnected and it feels a little small I got big hands

Agh Nintendo just make a powerful console for once

But to be fair my switch is old af tho it was like from near release date back in 2017 or whenever this thing came out

[misty wing]

Nintendo is out of touch tbh

They are just relevant because they have ownership of iconic characters like Mario

[blissful cave]

Yea I like their games

Yooooo I hit 40k gold exactly let’s goooo (was close and just playing random tanks with boosters but didn’t intentionally try land on 40k even)

I have more gold boosters than I can play games so I’m not just going to ONLY apply them when I play tier 10 I’m just gonna have em on always I bounce around tiers I was just playing some of my 6 and 5’s now I’m about to screw around with my 3’s

Großtraktor babeyyy my pretend Neubaufahrzeug

[sleek gorge]

Well they focus on Hand Held and not on consoles and HH is just out of date

[honest rampart]

Until the KV-3 or IS, after that I quitted it. Soviet HT are quite boring imo

[hidden grove]

About the same as the event to win the T23E3?

[south leaf]

Is T95E2 a good medium?

[halcyon lotus]

no. just get a Progetto 46, Chimera, Defender Mk.1 or Centurion 5/1 instead

[meager saddle]

hm

[hidden grove]

Is that a yes

[meager saddle]

it's a no

[solid gate]

depends on win but not easy as t23e3 event

[hidden grove]

I see, if i play a lot during that period it shouldnt be too hard

[tired lichen]

to me, the t22 and 907 feel almost identical
I get that the t22 is supposed to have pretty trollish armor, but i struggle to really apply it outside of reverse sidescraping
whats the most major gameplay difference?

[halcyon lotus]

907 is mostly played as a second-line sniper like a Leopard 1, but it can brawl sometimes.
T-22 is played for more aggressive combat, like brawling or frontlining.

[tired lichen]

what enables one playstyle over the other? gun handling feels similar, reload is just a few miliseconds off, near identical guns, similar mobility

[halcyon lotus]

907 can play as a second-line sniper due to it having tracer shells, reticle calibration, mostly unreliable armor and having great accuracy compared to the T-22

T-22 is played for more aggressive combat due to it having reliable armor, on the turret and on the sides.

[plucky summit]

T-22 got countered by 3CRB

[tired lichen]

3CRB?

[cloud sluice]

hey guys which is better IS_7 or E 100?

[plucky summit]

Three calibers rule bypassing :)
Do you know the three calibers rule?

[valid gale]

Please don’t

[plucky summit]

[valid gale]

I’ve seen that mile long enough

[plucky summit]

You may look away if they ask

[valid gale]

In other words I posted earlier but I got ole ole on accident

[opaque zodiac]

How do I play 50 b

[tired lichen]

I know, I just didnt know the abbrevation. What, the roof? the lower side?

[serene token]

Does anyone know if I have a Chrysler in my garage, will I receive compensation for it in the form of silver or gold in the Christmas event? Someone knows?

[hidden grove]

hows this not an ace

[thorny smelt]

Check the base XP you earned

[mild stream]

Any opinions about the pudel?

[hidden grove]

yeah well why is it so low. 4k + 4 kills on the 49 aint bad is it? i cant find my ace game but im pretty sure it was similar stats

[thorny smelt]

It has also something to do with spotting and assisted damage. Not just how much damage you dealt and the number of enemies you eliminated.

[hidden grove]

yeah i understand that its xp in general. still feels a little underwhelming

[thorny smelt]

Maybe someone pushed the Ace mastery even further

[hidden grove]

i guess so, thanks for the replies

[lyric oriole]

You have hardly any spot/track assist damage. If you weren't spotting a majority of the damage you were dealing you only get half XP for the damage you were dealing

[vagrant hawk]

Super conqueror or badger? I can’t decide cuz they are both good

[violet timber]

Skonk

[hidden grove]

ohh now that you say it i remember watching a video about that

[blissful cave]

Should I make todays tank of the day super conqueror
The thing is “super conqueror” is actually just a conqueror that had a ton of armor slapped on purely for the purpose of being FV4005’s firing trial target

[balmy compass]

why not

[wary summit]

iirc it was also used for later on Swingfire ATGMs test ranging

[balmy compass]

no wonder it has superheavy levels of side armor in-game 💀

[blissful cave]

Alright then todays tank of the day is the Super Conqueror

Here’s a more complete picture where it has its side covers too

I want to get the super conqueror I have 40k gold but I want to get the cobra that’s coming and may need gold for Christmas too it’s 20k so it’d cost half my gold and idk how much cobra will be (assuming draws will be draws and I don’t get it until the last pull)

[onyx raven]

It was a test target for the Malkara ATGM, not a 4005.

[balmy compass]

Super Conq might appear in the auctions

[blissful cave]

Or the other thing is I don’t need the camo or equipment since I wouldnt use the camo and have more credits than I know what to do with so maybe I can get it for like 17k purely by itself
But if it’s in auction I could maybe get it even cheaper

Plus I’ll know by then how much gold I’ll have since it’ll be after cobra and during the actual Christmas event itself (see if I’ll go for snowglobes or not)

[violet timber]

It was general HEAT munitions, not just the Malkara

[blissful cave]

I thought I heard somewhere that it was for FV4005 I’ll see if I can find where I got that from it was the same place that I found out this tank is actually real and not some wot modification

[violet timber]

It was mainly used for testing of the US T42 “Dart” HEAT warhead

[misty wing]

Discord told me to join in the conversation for super Conqueror tank

[blissful cave]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH9AI6S8KL8&pp=ygUSRnY0MDA1IHJlc3RvcmF0aW9u in this video as part of FV4005’s restoration they mention they fired at super conqueror for 4005’s trials

[blissful cave]

Agh I’m really deciding if I should get super conqueror or just wait

As much as I do want it now it would be better to wait because it could be in auction or sold for cheaper without the unnecessary stuff like the legendary camo or equipment (I have plenty of credits to get it myself)

[lyric copper]

it wont be in auction if its sold in late november

[blissful cave]

Ah makes sense so should I just get it now then? Or wait for if it’ll be sold without camo and equipment for like 3k or so gold cheaper

[lyric copper]

yeah tbh

[blissful cave]

I’ll wait the 20k gold offer doesn’t even come with any good extras just the camo like if it at least had the 5 british crates like in the 41$ offer then I’d be fine with it

[blissful cave]

Ooh super conqueror you’re not looking so good

(After firing trial testing)

[plucky summit]

The tracks, the spaced armor

[slim forge]

That's actually not that bad

[blissful cave]

It’s still in the shop for another 8 days so hopefully the cobra draw will start before S conqueror leaves so I can see how much gold I’ll have

[blissful cave]

You can’t see it on the front but can on the turret all the spaced armor is blown off too and the internal parts completely destroyed

[slim forge]

Doesn't change my stance, lol.

[blissful cave]

Just in case I get super lucky on cobra and get it without spending too much gold which I’m not gonna count on since it’s a draw they’ll always make you pull until the last one

[blissful cave]

True the outer appearance of the tank itself isn’t that bad surprised it isn’t reduced to scrap since it was hit by FV4005 multiple times

[valid gale]

This was a mockup with added on plates to the conqueror they also filled it with bunnies horrifyingly enough

[valid gale]

That wasn’t a squash head round you can see HE on the card in the right but the suspension and drive train are destroyed with the turret likely inoperable

Really the centurion had it worse there’s no photos of it unfortunately but it was reported the shell ripped the turret off the hull violently

[blissful cave]

I never heard anything about bunnies from what I’ve heard it was just crew dummies

But I do know IS-7 they put a dog in there for testing it and for firing they fired at it with another IS-7 and a (I think) 120mm German anti tank gun

[valid gale]

Supposedly they filled it with rabbits to simulate crew upon striking

[twilit saddle]

Which is better E5 or Yoh?

[misty wing]

E5

[errant oak]

very different

900dmg in 1.7 sec is very fun

[violet timber]

E5

[twilit saddle]

Thanks guys

Come to the conclusion to get both

[misty wing]

I prefer every other autoloader at tier 10 tbh, in terms of fun factor

Both guns sacrifice a lot to get either high DPM or high intra-clip DPM

[blissful cave]

I’m still really deciding if I should get super conqueror I do really want it
But then about worrying if I won’t have enough gold for cobra I just realized I could sell some of my collectors I don’t use and could always get later

Like object 260 and 907 I do like em but rarely play em so I could just get some quick emergency gold and just get them back later

[lyric sedge]

Is the cobra even gonna be worth it?

[halcyon lotus]

no. it’s only worth it because it has hesh

[lyric sedge]

Ok in that case I’m still gonna buy vk90 or badger from auction if they are available

[lyric sedge]

Which one is better?

[blissful cave]

It’s just a tank I really want because i think it’s really cool and knew about the concept before they even announced it for blitz

Yeeeea cobra babeyyyy

I know I won’t really like the HE only that much but I really like the tank itself so hopefully I’ll figure out how to play it or something

[blissful cave]

I got it

But I can’t decide which camo to put on it I want to go for a rusty look (since it was destroyed irl in firing trials)

The texture of the “radioactive” camo looks nice but not really a fan of how it glows the other one doesn’t

[halcyon lotus]

i like how the radioactive glow looks tbh

[blissful cave]

I’m so indecisive I spent like all day thinking if I should get super conqueror now or wait
And now that I finally made up my mind and got it before I even get to play it now I can’t decide what camo to put on it

[halcyon lotus]

what other brown-ish camos do you have?

[blissful cave]

I think im liking the rusty look of radioactive and can probably overlook the glow paths

[blissful cave]

Rustplate (battle pass and my last one)
Radioactive
Salvaged scrap (I don’t like this one the hull and turret are too different)
High voltage (blue lines wouldn’t look right)
Fall leaves
And that one that’s a really nice brown but ruined with the hands all over it

[halcyon lotus]

can you send a picture of the rustplate and fall leaves camo?

[blissful cave]

Rustplate is the one up there that doesn’t glow

And this one is fall leaves

I think I’m starting to like the look of radioactive now that I’m looking at em all

[halcyon lotus]

i like how that looks tbh. do you have any black camos like Carbon?

[blissful cave]

I do but it’s locked to tier 9 I’m gonna use it on cobra as a reference to its mock-up

[halcyon lotus]

i vote to use the Fall Leaves camo on the Super Conqueror

[blissful cave]

I like to make my tanks as references to them irl like how the surviving one looks in a museum with camouflage or keep the concept ones default/something simple
Or just use the legendary one if it looks good

Which in the case of super conqueror it’s eh alright I’d use it if I didn’t already have a look that I was going for

[misty wing]

@blissful cave can you make the next tank of the day the T-39 Landship

[blissful cave]

Can’t I’ll do it sometime later because tomorrow is a very special day so I have something planned for that
But it’ll require me to make a one time exception and break my rule of real tanks only

[blissful cave]

Hehehehe you know I like those funny multi turrets I’ll do that one sometime soon I just saw this one for the first time in cone of arcs new video on multi gun tanks

[misty wing]

would you consider P.1000 Ratte and P.1500 Monster real tanks?

[blissful cave]

Depends are there any real plans for em
As in did the idea of the tank actually exist back then and not something made up recently for games or something

[misty wing]

I think there was for the Ratte

[burnt torrent]

There is one for the ratte

[misty wing]

I would also add the "Swedish Konigster" to your list of potential TotD, if you consider it to be worthy of a separate one from Tiger II

[blissful cave]

Yes
I make separate TOD’s for captured/purchased tanks in Finnish service so I can do em for other countries too if there’s something to talk about
I do for Finland for two reasons there are no tank designs other than BT-42 and concept modified comet and I want to talk about Finnish tank history

It’s just other countries usually have their own designs so Id rather do those I haven’t done any “tank in other country service” yet other than Finnish ones
Like I still have tons of unique German tanks to go through before I think it’s worthy to go to stuff like “German modified KV-2 where they just add a cupola”

[blissful cave]

So if ratte is real I can do it

[misty wing]

yay

[vivid folio]

Pink camos:

[gilded zinc]

What's better to get: 263 or wz113g ft?

[coarse blade]

113gft

[halcyon lotus]

113g ft

what’s that text supposed to mean

[vivid folio]

268

[misty wing]

WZ is better

[vivid folio]

It is?

[misty wing]

It has like 2200 HP now, and the frontal armor is extremely solid

[patent prism]

Hi guys how much credits does it take to fully equip a t10 tank

[wary summit]

2~3 million

[patent prism]

thanks

[verbal root]

Its sad to see people rush and fight in flat terrain using the Sweden Emil's

[crimson saddle]

And then call the tank bad

[verbal root]

Yeah it just make me very sad seeing people use the Emil 1 and the Emil 1951 angling the hull on flat surface (they think it will bounce a shell)

[crimson saddle]

Such great potential in both tanks but most don't know how to reach it

[blissful cave]

Today is 11/30 it’s Mika from GuP’s birthday so todays tank is her BT-42

I will make a one time exception to the rule of TOD since it’s a special day
She’s the Finnish character and my favorite : )

Also they chose this day as reference to the start of Talvisota (the Winter War)

[stoic finch]

is it worth grinding all the tanks in europe

[violet timber]

Yes

[flat aspen]

how does the e6 feel? is it like a heavier version of stb1 or not at all?

[balmy compass]

It feels like a medium with a punchy gun

[blissful cave]

The ones I like best are Kranvagn and 60TP

[honest rampart]

60TP must be terrible bruh, you take a almost perfect tank and put the most trash gun on it that they could find

[rotund sonnet]

Haters say grille 15 was completely fake 🔥

[blissful cave]

Yooo it’s real?
So I can mark it real in the real vs fake tank list?

[balmy compass]

only on paper from what I have read

[blissful cave]

Yees but concepts that actually existed still count as real

[merry charm]

already got it

[stoic finch]

what are the best 2 of europe tanks tier 10(no premium tanks)

[civic fiber]

Depends on the tier

[stoic finch]

10

[obsidian birch]

is this good equip for 95E6?

[balmy compass]

I would run rammer, the pen is already good

[lyric copper]

cali on DPM focused tank 💀

take toolbox instead

if youre brawling more, take refined since combstab does 90% of the work

[obsidian birch]

thank you

[opaque zodiac]

New leaked Badger camo

[wary summit]

Jagdbrams

[tawdry crow]

question can a tank be cursed ? in world of tanks blitz cuz imma swear its a feature

[violet timber]

Wdym?

[tawdry crow]

got a free tank and it did well for a day then no matter how well i do or how much of a win streak im on i use it and it losses most of its games no matter how well i play lol.

[tawdry crow]

basically its like its got its own match making lol

[valid gale]

Yes

[rotund sonnet]

The grille 15 in the game is semi historical its missing the crane and it never had that long gun

Gun shield was also different

[blissful cave]

When stuff like that happens then I guess I’d just have to see what and how much is changed
If it’s just some small detail that doesn’t change much then I could still call it real
But if it’s many things or something big like the whole turret design then it leans more towards fake

[rotund sonnet]

Concept 1b

[rotund sonnet]

What about the VK 90 it’s a mash of different real projects

[wise moth]

O god the blueprints are even more ugly than it is in game

[rotund sonnet]

Not blueprint it’s more of ok let’s make a concept tank drawing

[rotund sonnet]

For example: the Yoh

[granite rivet]

Yoh

[valid gale]

There’s two of them he posted 1A beside it

[rotund sonnet]

Well that’s concept 1

Concept 1 had different auto cannon placement

[lyric sedge]

The kpz50t is fun

[rotund sonnet]

1 and A side by side

[lyric sedge]

Im definitely considering buying another t10 collector if possible

[rotund sonnet]

Vk 90 is good

[lyric sedge]

Yeah

[rotund sonnet]

I have both kpz50t and vk 90

[lyric sedge]

Have you used badger if so Is it good?

[blissful cave]

Mixes of two real turrets but not actually intended to be put together I mark as yellow in between red fake and green real
Since at least they’re real parts

[blissful cave]

Yees I love concept 1B

[valid gale]

Hence 1A 1b is the one we know and have ingame

[rotund sonnet]

Only 1b is ingame

1A doesn’t have cuploa weak spot 💀

[valid gale]

It is worth to mention 1A seems like a quick fix up judging by the triangular mantlet rather than a flat on mantlet

[blissful cave]

Which two projects? Is one of them rear turret Löwe?

[rotund sonnet]

Vk 90 it self is fake

[valid gale]

That would be the VK 72

[rotund sonnet]

Technically Vk 72 in both in WoT and WoTB are inaccurate. They have more armor compared to real life counter part

[blissful cave]

Yea as I said for those that are fake combinations of real parts I mark em as yellow as in between real and fake
Since they don’t really belong among purely fake made up stuff like 60TP or something

[rotund sonnet]

The extend Lowe turret to fit the 15cm shell at the back of the turret. You may have recognized it as the vk 100.01 p turret

[blissful cave]

I looked up 60TP and people say that some of the TP’s were actual concepts but I’d need to see more proof before I mark em real

But from what I’m finding they’re fake

They probably just believed the fake historic context WG wrote

[rotund sonnet]

No 60TP was real. The context is that it lacked any drawings, wargaming just mashed up some Soviet heavies together.

Object 268, Object 272 and Object 777

[rotund sonnet]

Join the Tank encyclopedia discord server and almost every tank question would actually be answered

[blissful cave]

Yooo that exists? I’ll definitely do that

[valid gale]

I used to be there that’s also where I got most of my info , it got pretty toxic though when I was there

Toxic aside they have reliable information and staff they have a lot of original information in their possession

[civic fiber]

Spaghetto 65

[radiant thunder]

Idk man, 4005 seems weak to me

[halcyon lotus]

fv4005 is actually good, it’s just that the player who drove that went too aggressive

[radiant thunder]

I know

[misty wing]

Not the CS-63

The Progetto is also one of the worst tier 10s but it's at least somewhat unique to be worth grinding

[wooden wharf]

200 games on my Vz 55, and I'm still searching for something. It's like there's a room for potential in it.

[dusty flax]

What tank is better the E-50M or the Leopard 1

[wooden wharf]

STB-1, the best!

[dusty flax]

is it better than the Leopard and E50?

[misty wing]

No

[wooden wharf]

Though, what play style you usually do?

Leopard is more like hit & run, can't brawl with other tanks even though it has the highest T10 Medium tank DPM, lack of armor. Yeah you read it right. VERY THIN ARMOR. Food for 183 and some TD's.

E50 is the brawl counterpart for it, I also recommend that one for new ones.

STB? Depending on the user on how he/she plays it. I must say I love STB because of its tough turret and hull down capabilities which E50 & Leopard doesn't have.

@dusty flax

[misty wing]

E50M can hulldown pretty well

[wooden wharf]

Hmm yeah I think both have same gun dep of 8?

[misty wing]

It's not really the gun depression but the armor. E50M's turret is capable of bouncing shells reliable from mediums, and most heavies don't have the accuracy to reliably hit your weakspots

[wooden wharf]

It's really depends on the player though.

E50m for German T62A for sov.

Great for beginners.

[blissful cave]

New Christmas pfp

[blissful cave]

Draws are the worst thing ever created

[halcyon lotus]

do you have any other collector tanks you can sell to get it?

[blissful cave]

Yea that was after selling my object 260 I just sold one of my BP’s for that last 500

I had 20k going in got like maybe 1.5K gold from the crates included (no tanks from those :/ ,had to sell my 260 (7500) and then a BP for 500 because to the surprise of no one it just went until the last pull

So basically this tank is like 30k

I was hoping that for once it could be not the last or second to last pull (but fully knowing and expecting that it’d happen) so that maybe I wouldn’t need to sell one of my tier 10’s 🙃

[worn canyon]

Which are some of the easiest low tier tanks to get ace tanker badge in?

[night citrus]

uc2pdr

[worn canyon]

Don't know the full form ?😅

[solid gate]

guysssss i got tier 10 tank 1st time in 3 years from black box

i am sooo happy

[timid cipher]

And the amx 30 in the game as a IX premium for a event?

[valid gale]

Yes

[valid gale]

It already exists in both forms

[timid cipher]

Wait what

[valid gale]

Literally AMX 30 is a T10 and the prototype is a T9

[timid cipher]

In the GAME!?

[harsh elm]

yes

[timid cipher]

(°o°:)ᴼʰ

[halcyon lotus]

congrats! also activate windows

[timid cipher]

Add this tank to the game

[timid cipher]

Add this tank

[blissful cave]

Then why is this tank a tier 9

[thorny smelt]

Well...it's also tier 9 in PC 🤷

[blissful cave]

Tiers are moved around all the time

[solid gate]

never

[blissful cave]

But I’ll get to play it in the morning I just went for it in the middle of the night because idk I was excited

[solid gate]

btw guys which one should i buy E 75 or EMIL II ?

[harsh elm]

its alot more op as a tier 9 on pc

[wooden wharf]

How was Cobra? Does it have 4 clips too? Like in WoT pc?

[solid gate]

....

[solid gate]

No and it is trash

[timid cipher]

YOOOOOO!

[solid gate]

anyone ?

[harsh elm]

e 75

[solid gate]

okay thanks bro

[timid cipher]

Oh come on 😦

[wise silo]

How much gold did u spend?

[rotund gull]

I think to much

[wise silo]

More than 21k?

[wary summit]

~30k supposedly

[solid gate]

Which is generally considered better? M-VI-Yoh, Kranvagn or AMX 50B?

[valid gale]

Looked like this just a few days ago

[opaque zodiac]

Kran for all rounder Yoh for hull down and 50b for whatever it's good at

[blissful cave]

All of them is like 30k

[harsh elm]

50b is good at rotating around the map and clipping people for 1520 in good situations

[onyx raven]

IDK man, I got the x2 mystery boxes and got mystery certs from both of them, gave me this bad boy/S (DO NOT GAMBLE)

[solid gate]

Ah man

[dapper violet]

how were the crates that you got

[limpid ether]

Meanwhile I get a Chi Nu Kai after 5 crates lmao

[ruby knoll]

A tier 5 great

[blissful cave]

Trash lmao no tanks
But I did get a bit of gold back like ~2K so that’s kinda something I guess (went right back into the draw)

[limpid ether]

Gamble it again don't give up.

I wouldn't have gotten KPZ70 if I didn't sell the svear that I got for more crates

I even got Caliban on even more gambling

[blissful cave]

I did get cobra i just sold a BP tank for that last 500 so I have it now

So now that I’m thinking about my gold and what tanks I still want
-Strv 81 I’ll just have to skip for now if that comes sometime soon
-but Caliban I still want so if that comes for sale soon that’ll be a problem basically want to avoid spending money directly for something like if I got it from the gold I’ll be getting over time that’ll be nice like I’m getting this months battle pass because I like the theme so that’s like what 3-4K?

And then of course tanks like Sherman Jumbo,Medium III and GuP but I’ll pretty much never be able to get those

[limpid ether]

I wish WG would have allow us to get a GuP event again and get anime tanks without having to pay

[blissful cave]

That’d be amazing but if I needed to directly pay for em idc I just NEED em

[stone laurel]

I played 3 times with the object 777 and got ammo racked 3 times in a row, is this normal or it’s just my luck ?

[limpid ether]

That's not normal, looks like RNG hates you

[blissful cave]

Deciding how I should have my cobra look
The default green is my favorite color I WISH all British tanks looked like this in their default
Or carbon black as a reference to the mock-up that was made

[blissful cave]

This

It’s a black and white image but based on how dark it is I assume the object was black

Also idk why that horseshoe shape thing is there

[balmy compass]

looks like the default Swedish green

[blissful cave]

The best default color

If you were able to just simply change the color of the tank that’d already be better than most camos I’d use that so much

[limpid ether]

I wish WG allows us to buy the Verdun Forest camouflage again

[blissful cave]

Swedish or Soviet green would be my go to for most of my tanks
Italian default would be so good for desert maps
And polish/czech brown are pretty nice too

[balmy compass]

I like German gray ngl
wish there was the tan color I always forget how to spell

[blissful cave]

Yea like the color tiger 131 is irl that’d be neat
Italian color if changing defaults was a feature

[balmy compass]

I would put it on most of my German tanks for historical accuracy

[blissful cave]

Also British just has the worst default I gotta say and no good credit camos they’re always the hardest to find something good for

[wary summit]

Kinda wish British tanks after tier 5 get recoloured to olive green

Tan on a Centurion looks depressing

[balmy compass]

I like the pink desert one
makes you look like a pastry imo lol

[blissful cave]

Yea my ultimate example of not liking this games customization system is just how impossible it is to make my Sherman firefly solid dark green just never gonna happen

Solid color customization is something that’s so simple and easy I wish we had it

[limpid ether]

Wart Hunder mobile is worse.

Straight up no customization I see Soviet green vehicles fighting alongside Desert Camo Panthers in Japan map bruh

[balmy compass]

it's still funny to me to see that you can put silly camos on warthunder

[limpid ether]

On PC yeah, not ont he mobile version yet

[balmy compass]

all those goofy japan mains putting anime body pillows on their tanks tho is weird

[limpid ether]

Love the fact they added body pillows to the game

[violet timber]

Cobra is officially a funny tank

[balmy compass]

was it not?
It certainly looks funny

[violet timber]

500 HESH every 10 seconds means your dpm isn’t terrible

[balmy compass]

what's the penetration

[violet timber]

220 with Cali

259 on HEAT with Cali which is usually enough

[balmy compass]

dang, that's less HEAT pen then the Type 57 with cali 💀

nice HESH pen tho, must be pretty fun

[violet timber]

You get 2.8k dpm with HESH and 500 alpha on a medium

[balmy compass]

and you just look goofy and can't shoot through objects, not bad

mostly sounds like a useable T49

[coarse blade]

A colonized T49

[blissful cave]

Oh right I forgot to mention i haven’t played the cobra yet tho but since it’s HE only do you think I should use rammer or calibarated
I use rammer for all my tanks except some autoloaders because the vents are kinda useless sometimes

[balmy compass]

Well Ratus said it's a HEAT/HE tank so cali would be benificial

[violet timber]

Cali for sure

[dapper violet]

cali is massively beneficial I heard

[violet timber]

I haven’t tried it with rammer, but having less than 259 HEAT pen as your “high penetration” round would be massively painful

[balmy compass]

just seeing it have HEAT as standard round cali would be my go to

[violet timber]

The main thing for me is that 2.8k dpm on your HESH should be more than enough

[balmy compass]

it still looks like a meme tank to me, so I would do a silly build

[violet timber]

I’m almost thinking of running supercharger on it since the aimtime is rather good already

[dapper violet]

main problem is that you die when a t8 breathes on you

[balmy compass]

sounds like meme tanks in general (T49)

[dapper violet]

you get actual dispersion and decent armor tho

[violet timber]

It’s not tier 8s I’m worried about in it, you can straight up bully them, it’s tier 10s with 3.5k dpm+ that can hunt you down that worry me

[balmy compass]

I suppose Cobra will go on my bucket list of cool tanks to get

[dapper violet]

any clipper can basically take you out of the game

[violet timber]

Definitely don’t spend 30k gold on it, it’s nowhere near worth that price

[balmy compass]

at least it isn't a TD with 1200 HP lol
Yeah I'm saving all my gold for auctions rn

[dapper violet]

t8 TDs are the true definition of glass cannon

even the smv cc 64 has a laughably low hp bar

[violet timber]

The only reason I spent gold on it was because the only auction tank I’m waiting for is the Helsing

[balmy compass]

I hope ASTRON Rex is in auctions and nobody buys it

[violet timber]

I don’t think anyone will buy it, most people think it’s average or bad

[dapper violet]

Astron pros: you have a heavy clipper’s gun

Cons: you are not a heavy (but you move like one)

[balmy compass]

the tanks that are currently on my bucket list are
ASTRON Rex
BatChat Borat
Raumpanzer
Bisonte
Jagdtiger 8,8 105mm

[dapper violet]

Do ya have the Chrysler k

[balmy compass]

nope
but I have a bunch of other heavies I like at tier VIII

[dapper violet]

But the speeds

[balmy compass]

I have Shark

[dapper violet]

I love the game being unplayable on rough ground

[balmy compass]

rough ground makes for good hulldown spots tho

[dapper violet]

Chrysler can zoom on everything

It has amazing rough ground mobility

[balmy compass]

I'll get Chrysler sometime then, but it won't be high importance like ASTRON or BatChat Borat

[dapper violet]

True. clipping is amazing

[balmy compass]

I do have the TS-60 which looks like a TD Chrysler K

[dapper violet]

It doesn’t play like one 😉

[blissful cave]

Chrysler will be free in the Christmas event so everyone can get it

[dapper violet]

Yeah so get grindin

[balmy compass]

oh yeah, I want a snowglobe tho

[blissful cave]

I got my Chrysler from auction a while ago and I like it a lot it’s one of my all time favorite concept tanks

[violet timber]

TS-60 is wack

[ruby knoll]

Guy's how to use STRV K properly?

[balmy compass]

if I get lucky and get a globe or 2 from the free xp boxes I'll get Chrysler, otherwise I'll just sadly grind for the snowglobe

[violet timber]

Go med side

[blissful cave]

If Chrysler is gold compensation I’ll get it but snow globe is too hard to get even if you skip the other last year I spent every bit of free time I had grinding and only barely made it I want to enjoy my Christmas time

[dapper violet]

Imagine shaking the snow globe and getting a Chrysler k

How hard would you smash your screen

@blissful cave it’s 3750 gold

[balmy compass]

I wouldn't, I would appreciate the nice gold compensation

[blissful cave]

Yea if it’s gold and not credits I’ll get that

[dapper violet]

But just grinding the k gives decent gold compensation for significantly less effort

Or you could… grind both

[balmy compass]

I wouldn't want to die trying to get both

[blissful cave]

You’d have to absolutely no life the game to get both (and have nothing going on like job or anything)

[violet timber]

I have the solution. Its called money

[north lynx]

Is M-IV-Y good?

[dapper violet]

I don’t understand why people use gold boxes to get the globe

Like why

[balmy compass]

I don't want to spend money on the event, I'll spend money on gold for auctions/gold boxes

[violet timber]

Very good

[blissful cave]

One of my favorites I have but idk the autoloader is weird you’re basically a single shot with 7 second reload but every 4th shell is 13 seconds

[balmy compass]

15k gold for a snowglobe
if you get a tier VIII rip, but a tier X would be cheap in that sense

[dapper violet]

Meanwhile Black Friday deals are just selling tier Xs for like 13-16k

The math doesn’t add up

And the auctions as well

[balmy compass]

the people I know that go for the snowglobes are people who already have 95% of the tanks in the game, so they go for the globes for the brand new tier X

[violet timber]

The new tier 10 isn’t worth it tbh

[dapper violet]

…oh

The same kind of person who gets stuff like a sp2

[north lynx]

This is all my tanks is it good?

[balmy compass]

yeah like that

I should start selling all my collectors so I won't have to deal with the annoying "you cannot sell anymore tanks today" when auctions arrive

[dapper violet]

Yeah do that

Restoring them is effortless and instant

[solid gate]

i love this tank so much

[blissful cave]

Parola just posted a bunch of pictures from their history and think it’s really cool

Also this one shows they have a CV90 I don’t think I’ve ever seen it tho

Yea I looked through my pictures I never saw CV90 there it’s a tank I like quite a bit so idk why it’s not there whenever I went

Also first impressions of cobra I really like it the HE isn’t like usual where you need a pure raw plate to do damage I’m still able to do full damage when tanks have track guards and stuff like it had no problem going through the side of VK 100/168 I don’t remember which but tier 8 maus

[misty wing]

I hate all of theme except the Astron

[balmy compass]

fascinating

what do you hate about those tanks?

[misty wing]

Bourrasque: reload too long (feels like a yoh), slugglish acceleration
Raumpanzer: feels very generic to play
Bisonte: the looks, and I hate autoreloaders in general even though this one is kinda different
Jadgtiger: slow and vulnerable to engine damage

Yes I'm aware of the tanks being strong, I just dislike their playstyles

[balmy compass]

what's the reload on the ASTRON?

[misty wing]

like 21 seconds iirc

[balmy compass]

oh, is the Borat reload much longer?

[misty wing]

no it's shorter, but it's only for 2 shells so the overall rate of fire is lower

[balmy compass]

ah, ic

[wise moth]

Bourrasque is still pretty OP tho, even with the low DPM

[blissful cave]

Astron is like Emil gun on a small light tank
~20 second set reload
Pretty decent interclip so just fire all 3 then go

And they do about the same damage if I remember right

[balmy compass]

ASTRON has that nice 350 alpha

[blissful cave]

They added the only good Astron design lmao (well 2 is good too)

[regal zealot]

*290 alpha, 870 clip

[wise moth]

Oh god, all of those other ones are totally cursed

[blissful cave]

Average question mark conference tank
(Where all the super weird American concepts are all from like Yohs,AE phase 1,Astron,TS-5,chick and hen and others)

[regal zealot]

Rev 5 looks very goofy

[balmy compass]

oh 💀

man why did I think it was 350

[misty wing]

they should give it 350

[balmy compass]

I don't see why it shouldn't have 350 alpha lol

[regal zealot]

Mediums have 310 alpha for 105mms at tier VIII. If anything, it's got lower alpha than the tanks of tier.

[balmy compass]

even my beloved Lansen has 30 more alpha 💀

[regal zealot]

Iirc, the only 350 alpha 105mm guns at tier VIII are TDs and the Keiler

[marble roost]

got the 215b, should i use rammer or calibrated>?

[blissful cave]

I don’t have it but probably rammer

[balmy compass]

rammer

[marble roost]

ok ty, 215b has a different play through than my other heavy tanks so idk what to use xd

[wise moth]

Rammer

[wary summit]

M4 Rev, but we don't speak of it

[balmy compass]

down with the M4 rev!!

[blissful cave]

What’d the rev do

I have my tanks I despise like badger and borrasque I hate em and everyone who uses em

[opaque zodiac]

What do you think is the most UGLIEST tanks per each country in ww2

[blissful cave]

Well I’m not really good at being the judge of “ugly tanks” since I like a lot of the stupidly designed ones

[balmy compass]

Make everyone hate the Lansen

[opaque zodiac]

It's a great tank

[balmy compass]

Sherman
Goofy looking thing

[blissful cave]

Stuff like sentinel,multi turrets and Bob semple I’m like hehehe they’re so stupid and funny

[opaque zodiac]

You should check out FIAT 2000

It looks like a bunker box with a huge ball

[blissful cave]

People call my beloved BT-42 ugly and it enrages me
It’s a KV-2 BT-7 and my Finnish beloved

[opaque zodiac]

I'm dumb but imagine shooting it's gun while driving

[balmy compass]

I don’t think people fired it on the move

[blissful cave]

But I will say I don’t really like the design of M3 Lee much and the Grant is uglier

[opaque zodiac]

The gun placement is disgusting

[blissful cave]

But stuff like medium III I’m like

[wary summit]

Either the Matilda 1 or the 2-pdr Crusader with the MG turret in the hull for Britain

[blissful cave]

Like yeah I like the normal cool classic tanks like tiger,IS-2 and Churchill but stuff like Neubaufahrzeug,T-28 and a bunch of stupid concepts are usually higher up in my favorites

[blissful cave]

Oh yeah Matilda 1 for sure I forgot about that one
I mainly just think of Matilda as that other more famous design and I like that one a lot

💀

I got to see that one at bovington the eyes make it super cursed

[wary summit]

Be Britain
makes the most armoured tank
it has a pickle gun for an armament

[blissful cave]

I remember making this a bit ago this is basically me now
I love those classic famous tanks but for some reason I’m mainly interested in those stupid obscure designs and concepts

[crystal willow]

6 version looks look like M-IV-Y

[blissful cave]

The weird thing is Yoh 4 is my favorite of the Yohs but this Astron 6 not a fan of

[crystal willow]

i don't know why, but i don't like Yoh 4

Maybe because i hate long shell reload in magazine

I think the main theme why Yoh 4 isn't popular because 7 seconds beetwen shells with 310 dmg it's so looooooong

[blissful cave]

Oh I mean the design

Yoh 3 and 7 are just egg turrets and 5 and 6 are the weird boomerang ones
Yoh 4’s design I really like for some reason
And then 1 and 2 are more normal-ish

[crystal willow]

desing really cool. But ingame this tank is bad balanced

[blissful cave]

Yea it feels like a single shot with that 7 second interclip are you an autoloader or not

[meager spindle]

haha no

[dapper violet]

what is wot blitz for but playing the absurd, unrealistic, silly prototypes thought up from deranged minds

this game is made for playing these weird designs

[solid gate]

Wouldn't work

Lol

[violet timber]

That’s because of the module protection box

[blissful cave]

Yea that’s what I like this game has the super obscure concepts you won’t find anywhere else it’s not like Thunder would ever put in stuff like Cobra,Tornvagn or TS-5 even though they’re real blueprint tanks

(But this game makes up fakes and doesn’t tell you which ones are and hide them among the real concepts that part I don’t like)

.
This game is not good with adding old historic tanks or realistic content at all
But I will say they do bring concept tanks to life and I love that

And let’s be honest this game is the reason how we even know a majority of these tanks even exist

Like the only way you’d know about TS-5 if it weren’t for this game would be if you read that one specific heavy tank book I have

[dapper violet]

this game (and the desktop parent) literally brought the kv-3, 4, and 5 from obscurity into battle
and blitz made the kv-5 a terror

[blissful cave]

Not even just the concepts the tank museum (bovington) credits world of tanks for bringing popularity to their obscure tanks like FV4005 and TOG making them go from the ones no one cares to see to the reason people go there

[dapper violet]

that's kinda sweet actually

[blissful cave]

They say before the game people only cared about seeing the famous ones that actually fought like tiger,T-34 and Sherman and ignored stuff like TOG and FV4005

It’s like the same way with parola tank museum in Finland but with girls und panzer bringing popularity to the BT-42 and being the reason so many people go to see that tank and people donated to fund protecting the tank since it’s the only one in existence and the other ones there too

[dapper violet]

its nice to know what games like wotb inspire people to do

[misty wing]

Ngl the T-34/76 and 57 look absolutely hideous

[blissful cave]

I’m working both jobs today and forgot to do TOD so I gotta do one that’ll be quick when I get back

[meager spindle]

TOD

[blissful cave]

That suggestion one earlier I forgot the name of it I’ll do later the multi turret Soviet concept one

I could do Swedish tiger II today that would be pretty easy to do since I won’t have much time today

[misty wing]

Epic

[blissful cave]

Todays tank of the day is the Königstiger (Swedish Tiger II)

[dapper violet]

how does one open image
i want see tige

Tige

[blissful cave]

Ah the image didn’t go through that sucks

[dapper violet]

I posted it 🙂

[blissful cave]

Thank I’m at work rn so I can’t be here for long at a time

[thorny smelt]

Tiger II with Porsche turret 💀

[violet timber]

Konigstiger isn’t Swedish, it’s literally just a normal tiger 2

[blissful cave]

Yea but it has some unique history with Sweden so it’ll be like one of my posts of tanks in another country’s service
Except I don’t think the tiger ii was ever in service there just testing

If I remember right the story goes sweden was amazed when they found out about tiger ii that they really wanted one to study and test stuff with it and against it
So they made some deal with France that if they somehow come across a good condition tiger ii they could send it over and they got one

[balmy compass]

I think the Tiger II was used in Berlin, I may be wrong

[blissful cave]

When I’m making the post I’ll get all the details this is just what I remember

[misty wing]

The biggest mystery is the altered exhaust pipes that no one really knows why were changed

[blissful cave]

Sweden trying so hard to find a tiger ii abandoned in good condition and restore it to running order just so they can bombard it down to scrap

[safe acorn]

Pre-production*

[blissful cave]

I think tank encyclopedia said that based on how it looks and was marked it was the 6th one ever produced

Also they really couldn’t have just used thick metal plates or something they really had to go ahead and do it on a perfectly good tiger II

[safe acorn]

Eh its not like the Tiger II was gonna be useful in the long run anyways

[blissful cave]

Yea but it would’ve made a really cool trophy

They looked so hard for one and were picky about it needing to be in good condition (they found one before this one but passed on it because it was in bad shape) and went through the effort to fix it up and make it driveable again

[safe acorn]

Theres an article saying that Sweden got a Tiger II P on loan last year

[blissful cave]

Yea it was going around few museums I got to see it when it went to Parola tank museum in Finland

[solid wolf]

hey is2 free is2? hell yea i want some history in my garage

[thorny smelt]

Yup. The IS-2 Shielded.

[safe acorn]

Cohldve added the Casemated IS-2 proposal but no

[wary summit]

Reminds me of the time the Turks nearly got a Tiger 1

[safe acorn]

"you know brother, we could sell that thing for good money"

[solid wolf]

are these tank numbers is the number of their build like tank 131 because its 131st tank have been built? or is there another meaning on it?

[safe acorn]

Is what division their in

[deep spear]

How do i play the emil 2 correctly and what should i bring

[earnest rapids]

Fxp the gun and load some prammo is a good start, also get cali shell atleast

[deep spear]

how does it's reload system work? It's my first auto reloader

[wary summit]

You can either dump your shells like an autoloader or go single shot when needed

[valid gale]

Now I realized why it looks so familiar I recreated Altay on accident

[golden niche]

Is there anyway i can better my chieftain Mk.6 ?

[harsh elm]

run hp over enhanced armour

[valid gale]

Th is that ammo selection

[dim pollen]

1. Don't brawl with this tank
2. Don't expose ur hull. Turret isn't impressive anyways.
3. Turret traverse is slow. Move ur hull too.
4. No hard n fast rule to empty all the rounds. Play as single shot or auto loader. Ur choice.
5. Terrain traverse is slow as it's a heavy tank. Don't get caught climbing a steep hill. Or u r dead.
6. U can try angling ur turret or wiggling to deflect some shots but it isn't guaranteed.

[halcyon lotus]

@deep spear read the one above me. also i suggest that when you’re fighting tier Xs, you play as a second-line tank as your turret armor is weak against most premium shells. when fighting tier 8s, you can play as the usual heavy tank which is to frontline and hulldown.

also my setup for the Emil 2 consumables are Multi-Restoration Kit, Reticle Calibration and Improve Engine Power Boost.
equipment is not necessary since it’s just a tier 9 tech tree vehicle, but i definitely recommend running Calibrated Shells as you’re going to be fighting a lot of tier X heavies with strong armor.

[deep spear]

Alright thanks guys

[solid gate]

I was wondering, have you ever made the M3 Lee as TOD?

[bold ermine]

This is what happens when you don't load HEAT(i was facehuging a 60tp)

[blissful cave]

Yea both Lee and grant

[safe acorn]

Ever seen the fake M3 Lee replica put up at some museum

[blissful cave]

I have never seen the Lee only the Grant at bovington

Surprising since I’ve seen a lot of US tanks the museum near my parents house doesn’t have it

[safe acorn]

Some museum thought this was possible

[onyx raven]

They fixed it more recently

[blissful cave]

That one’s really cool they have
Sheridan M48 Patton M60 Abrams M46 Patton M47 Patton M41Bulldog Chaffee M5 Stuart M1917(Renault copy) and of course the last surviving T26E4
They also have an E8 Sherman inside that I’m unsure is real or a replica

[safe acorn]

But ngl a 17pdr M3 Lee as a Tier V-VI TD for WoT would be kinda cool

[blissful cave]

17 pounder then it’d be 5
The Sherman firefly has the 17 pounder and is tier 6 which is better in every way

Also does Sherman firefly have any advantage over E8 Sherman or is easy 8 just flat out the better Sherman

[safe acorn]

E8 for the depression
Firefly for the pen

[blissful cave]

When I play em it feels like E8 is way better

I also don’t really like that the firefly in this game uses the round Sherman I prefer the flat edge design

[safe acorn]

I dont think the E8 has a mobility difference over the Firefly

@blissful cave id rather have the Achilles over the Sherman Firefly

[blissful cave]

Why don’t they just make normal tanks for those
They made themed variants for Achilles archer and Sherman 105 but don’t have the normal tank in the game
Charles angry Connor and high score

[safe acorn]

Because they know people will sell anything below Tier VII

[blissful cave]

I’d like to see Sherman 105 but the only way to play it is to use the dumb arcade themed one

[safe acorn]

What i really wanna see is the 2nd concept for the IS-2M @blissful cave

[wary summit]

High Score's standard round being HEAT is annoying

[lapis anvil]

It would be broken if it didn’t

[blissful cave]

Speaking of
I really don’t have any problem with cobras explosive only for some reason it doesn’t work like HE usually does it’s literally just standard AP but they say it’s HEAT

[wary summit]

Hail Gargoyle

[safe acorn]

Whats the caliber again?

[blissful cave]

I’m able to go through track guards and stuff and never do partial damage (yellow highlight)
But have noticed I cannot go through map obstacles like benches

Only the premium shell acts like usual HE

[lapis anvil]

Cuz heat doesn’t?!!!

[opaque zodiac]

I sold high score for no apparent reason (I want gold)

[blissful cave]

Oh it doesn’t? I thought it’d be just like HE

I never use HEAT on my tanks because it’s usually the premium shell that does less damage and I’d usually rather just keep standard

And the ones I load premium on are usually the gold piercing ones not heat

[safe acorn]

On the topic of HEAT
The Americans right after WW2 deduced that spaced armor can only tank HEAT rounds for a few more years because inevitably itll come to an extent where its physically impossible to make one effective

But guess US had dementia and made MBT-70 have spaced armor

Literally right before they planned the MBT-70 they were experimenting materials for a pseudo composite armor on the T95 medium but that didnt work out in the long run with the material they chose

[wise moth]

The M4 used to have the 105mm derp gun before 5.5

Heck, even the tier 9 M46 patton had it lol (and all the tanks in between)

[blissful cave]

So they just removed em all : (

[solid gate]

do u guys think the vz will get buffed if so what exactly

[blissful cave]

They already did tier 10 balance recently

[lyric oriole]

All of them except VK28

Still has the derp

It's the lone survivor

KV-1 doesn't count because it's always been useless with the derp even before the penetration rebalances way before 5.5

DPM is just too low

[balmy compass]

VK 28 with the derp is so funny
Barely useable but you also go so fast

[balmy compass]

All premium shells (except for anything using the SU-100Y’s gun and the ISU-130) do less damage on their premium shells
However Ho-Ri-III and STB-1 have less of a damage drop off

[onyx raven]

All premium shells outside of HESH and SAP do less damage than standard

That’s no reason not to load them

[blissful cave]

I got back to the real vs fake tank list i haven’t been able to work on it

Two things
For RHM borsig WT only things I found was something that looks like the tier 7 steyr WT

And is VK 168 real I know VK 100 is but idk about 168 everything that comes up is game related

[onyx raven]

VK 168 is a fake name, but the design is real.

The RHM-B WT in the game should be reall iirc, but I’m not 100% about that.

[opal kraken]

well

[blissful cave]

Fake name real tank counts as real there’s many tanks that simply don’t have a name at all and the game just gave em one

Also for WZ-112 (I think that’s what it’s called the premium Chinese IS-3 with a flat plate) I did find this it says it was an IS-3 prototype
But not part of China

I think someone also said something about the 110 being real but idk if that was part of China

If these two tanks the flat plate IS-3 and pike nose IS-2 did in fact exist but were never part of China do I just mark em real since the tank design itself is

[topaz sand]

cali or rammer for mk6?

[onyx raven]

The 110 is fake, but based on the Russian IS-2U.

[blissful cave]

So that asks the question
If the tank design itself is real but the whole chinsese part is fake do I just count it real since ignoring the name and flag the actual design is real of this pike nose IS-2

[wise moth]

The WZ-112-2 is the Kirovets-1 (tier 8 Russian heavy) on other platforms. No idea why they renamed it and made it Chinese for Blitz

WG says this about it:
The Kirovets-1 project (IS-3, prototype No. 1) was developed from July through November 1944. The prototype was built at the Chelyabinsk Kirov Plant during September and October 1944. From December 18 through December 24, 1944, the vehicle underwent trials at the NIBT proving grounds in Kubinka. After it was decided to manufacture a pilot series of the modified IS-2 with a hull proposed by engineers of Plant No. 100 and Central Research Institute-48, the work on the Kirovets-1 was discontinued.

[blissful cave]

Yea I found that the flat plate is-3 prototype is real but the China part is just made up so I just mark it real anyway?

[blissful cave]

Do you know of any source about 168 WG did post a blueprint picture but I’m hesitant to just go off that since I didn’t see any other thing mention it (but based on a quick search) anyone can draw blueprint looking images

For all these tanks I just do quick searches to weed out the easy ones and just get left down to the hard ones where I have to look harder and determine between if it’s just a really obscure tank with hardly any information or one that has no information because it’s not real

[wise moth]

WG's tankopedia says this; which smells really, really fake to me

"In the summer of 1942, Porsche received an order for a breakthrough vehicle with the most powerful armament and thickest armor possible for such a class. VK 168.01 was a further development of the Mäuschen project. The main difference was in the frontal placement of the turret. Existed only in blueprints."

[blissful cave]

It’s good to get help and I’ve gotten a lot of help from others who these tanks are something they like more than I do and already know about em

Like there’s the ones that i looked into and know are real that others assume are fake like Tornvagn,cobra,Caliban and others

Like with the help of Foch guy he did the ENTIRETY of France in the whole game those are all done

I’m a bit skeptical of some like char futur but I asked and he said that one is real

.
Also I haven’t been doing tier 8 9 10 in strict order I’ve been just going through em all and I’m getting down to those last few ill continue trying to weed out the easy ones and I’ll be back with the list of the last ones and if you guys know anything about any of them please let me know

I’ll also of course try to figure out some of those hard ones like I’ve run into a problem with TS-60

TS-60 looks near identical to TL-6 in that heavy tank book I have it was part of the TS project the ONLY difference I see is that 60 is one additional road wheel longer and has a 120mm not a 105 that 6 has
And I haven’t found anything on TS-60 so I’m starting to assume that TL-6 and TS-60 may be the same tank but WG changed it a bit

[onyx raven]

It’s based on Porsche blueprint K.3384.

[blissful cave]

Found it thank you

Also P44 panthera I found Italy wanted to produce panthers under license but found nothing about “P44 Panthera” where it looks notably different or autoloader or anything just simply an Italian produced panther

The bottom of the tank encyclopedia for Italian panther has this comment and reply tho

Alright the list of tier 8 tanks I do not have a mark for if anyone knows anything about any of these tanks being confirmed real or fake let me know I greatly appreciate it

-WZ-110 we discussed this one the design is real but being Chinese is fake same with WZ-112-2 no official mark yet
-FV1066 senlac
-P44 Pantera
-T-54 lightweight this one should be easy it’s hard google for this one I only get regular T-54 results and didn’t see a mention of a light tank version
-object 274
-HWK 30
-Kpz 07 RH
-VK 45 A
-LT 432
-ST-62 v2
And TS-60 but I mentioned I’m unsure if this one is supposed to be the TL-6 that I found

Oh great I just realized more tier 8’s were announced now I’m gonna have to include that czech open top TD probably fake like most Czechoslovakian tanks in this game

[blissful cave]

No way

[violet timber]

LT-432 is kind of real but not really. It’s like an Obj 432, but LT version

[blissful cave]

Eh idk if I see an obvious resemblance

[violet timber]

It’s quite literally called the obj 432 on pc instead of LT 432

[opaque zodiac]

Is the kpz 70 only a blueprint btw?

[violet timber]

No it was made

[blissful cave]

I dunno if I’m hesitant to mark TS-60 as real assuming it’s TL-6 because the 60 is one road wheel longer than i wouldn’t consider these the same enough

[wary summit]

Prototype

[blissful cave]

It was actually built its known in the US as MBT 70

[opaque zodiac]

Aight tyty

[onyx raven]

The VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A was one of two designs for the Porsche King Tiger.

These are some blueprints for the T-54 Ltwt

[blissful cave]

Ah thank I looked again at VK 45 and didn’t notice it was supposed to be VK 45 P (A and B) I was looking for VK 45 A specifically

[blissful cave]

Ok now we’re left with
-WZ-110,WZ-112-2 and TS-60 on the fence about Ive mentioned my reasons
-FV1066 senlac
-object 274
-HWK 30
-Kpz 07 RH
-ST 62 v2
-LT 432 (not enough evidence to consider object 432 in PC real and the same)
And P44 pantera (simply a differently designed Italian panther could work only thing I found was Italian license produced panthers which would’ve looked practically the same)

T-54 lightweight I’ll kinda go off my rule a bit I’m certain a lighter version of T-54 exists or was planned

I swear I have something I’ll call the pawlack effect where the harder I look the more impossible it gets

On the surface if I just take it at face value I see an image of its blueprints or mock-up cool it’s probably real
But this tank THIS TANK I looked SO hard for proof of its existence other than the mock-up image WG put

I even tried to find ANY proof of pawlack the man existing and tried everything there exists ZERO information about this man or any mention of the tank proposal from what I found

Like I refuse to just mark the pawlack real now until I have a solid answer who is pawlack and what is this tank and must know more about it than just that image

I did find few things like that the name is supposed to be Pawlak which I used both names in my searches

[meager spindle]

they were two different tanks, the MBT-70 was powered by a turbine while the KpZ-70 used a diesel, thats the main difference but there are others.

(along with different specifications being wanted pre-production by each nations, mainly the germans wanting to mount 120mm rhm gun while the us wanted to use the 152mm xm gun the final tank had.)

looking at the rears ( ) you can see the difference

thats ofc warthunder but irl it would've been the nearly if not the same, finding pictures and videos of the MBT/KpZ standing still with multiple angles is a little tricky

[blissful cave]

Oh yea need a tank of the day
Gonna scroll up and see what that suggested multi turret one was

Since he suggested two tanks at once Swedish tiger II and the Soviet landship I’ll let someone else pick today since I did Swedish tiger II yesterday

[blissful cave]

Oh I forgot turtle mark 1 I don’t have a mark for from what I could find I don’t think it’s real

But
The wargaming description mentions it’s from the British School of Tank Technology where most of the other British premiums come from like Charlemagne Caliban Gsor 1008 cobra and Chimera so I’d have to see if turtle was an actual project just like those

Agh I was gonna do E75 as todays tank of the day but I literally did a tiger II yesterday and the two look practically the same so I should pick something else for variety

Also I have work in 10 minutes so idk how I’m gonna do this again I need something short and quick

[solid gate]

Maybe the Yugoslavian T-34-85 copy?
(Teski Tenk Vozilo A)

[blissful cave]

For something super quick i usually just throw out another Yoh so I may do that for today
I’ve done 4,5/6 don’t remember one of the weird boomerang shaped ones and 7

[blissful cave]

So todays tank will probably be Yoh 3

[solid gate]

okay

[blissful cave]

The Yohs are good for when I have no time because the same description for the Yoh series applies just a short interchangeable part on what’s the unique gimmick with this particular one

[blissful cave]

I love this series of art for the Yohs

[native tide]

Do u guys recommand t62 a?

[obsidian egret]

Best face to face

[slim forge]

Most accurate cold war picture

[alpine gulch]

Dang

[blissful cave]

Also can I just say these Yoh paintings look nice and weird at the same time I love em (for some reason i couldn’t find one for Yoh 7)

Also idk what the word is exactly but they have that “liminal space” I think it’s called vibe to em like back rooms or whatever

[blissful cave]

Mainly just the Yoh 4 one

[dim pollen]

Yes. A decent medium with strong hull

[blissful cave]

Let’s goooo got an ace in the cobra

[halcyon lotus]

you finally got the coBRUH?

[blissful cave]

My first impressions with cobra was that it just feels like a good tier 8 not really a tier 9 that feels fair to constantly fight tier 10’s in (tier 9’s you almost always go up against 10s) but I got an ace in a game against 10’s

[halcyon lotus]

how do you play the cobruh? like a tier 9 4202?

[blissful cave]

I got it when it first released that screenshot was just being mad about going until last pull I sold a BP tank for that last pull
And had to sell my object 260 before that too

I had 20k ready
But it costs 30k to gurantee so I had to sell 260,got 2K back in the crates and then a battle pass tank for that last 500

[blissful cave]

It’s actually really fun it reloads pretty fast for how much damage it does the heat shells work pretty much like AP they don’t do partial damage or are stopped by even the slighted thing in the way like a track cover
The hesh tho does that but has good penetration I can pen the weak spots of 10’s with hesh

Also note you need to run calibrated shells for this tank to work since you don’t have armor piercing based shells

.
But in short
-damage really good
-reload really fast for how much it does
-speed eh for a medium it feels a little on the slower side sometimes but rotation is perfect I will say
-armor doesn’t really have much
-HP I have as much as the tier 10 mediums which is funny
-accuracy is good

But is it worth 30k? Probably not but it’s a tank I really like so I wanted to get it

Sometimes I feel like this tank should be a tier 8 sometimes I’m able to dominate in tier 10 games so I guess it fits as a 9 even though it doesn’t look like it should

[blissful cave]

Like for comparison the Charlemagne’s hesh doesn’t realiably work on all tier 8’s in the same tier and with cobra I’m able to hesh tier 10’s as a 9

[blissful cave]

Also as a really random thing Tornvagn is my favorite irl tank but in game man I cannot stand its gun it just doesn’t work when you want it to

[wary summit]

The gun do be derpy at times

[wet wigeon]

I need IS with new HD

[misty wing]

I hated the cobra when I tested it

[opaque zodiac]

It looks like a rip off gsor

[blissful cave]

They were both made by the British School of tank development

[opaque zodiac]

No wonder why

but imma be honest the cobra is just EWWWWEEEEEWWWWW

[blissful cave]

I like it
But I do like the stupid weird looking concepts so I guess that makes sense

[opaque zodiac]

It looks like they stole french blueprints

[blissful cave]

It looks like a comet with a compressed kranvagn turret

[dim pollen]

For a moment I thought about the Cobra in WOT PC and I was like damn it's gonna break the game

[solid gate]

@honest rampart those are the lines I am doing/have planned, what do you think?

[blissful cave]

Sheridan good the line tho ehh idk I skipped most of it

[solid gate]

I believe it will be fun in the M41, T92E1 and Sheridan

And T-49 if all the stars are aligned and you hit your luck

[opaque zodiac]

The founding fathers have your back the eagle of freedom will guide your shot

[solid gate]

you don't have to aim, let the power of the freedom eagle guide your shot

[upbeat isle]

heart of the cards freedom of the eagle, guide me

[solid gate]

(it will guide your shot into the enemy's tracks)

[opaque zodiac]

(you'll get ammo racked)

[halcyon lotus]

_ from now on, we must make every message be bold, underlined, italic or crossed _

[upbeat isle]

Also, hiya I'm newb. I heard from a buddy that the German Tiger line is a decent one to start with. Do you folks agree or is he trolling me?

[opaque zodiac]

If your doing the tiger 1 it's decent if your doing the Porsche tiger you should do the vk 72 line

[night citrus]

going for E100 is best choice

[halcyon lotus]

i agree. the tiger 1 and 2 are very forgiving tanks and are definitely one of the go-to tanks for new players.

the main tank of the line, E-100 is also a great tank for new players as it will be very useful for knowing the basics of the game, such as angling and sidescraping

[upbeat isle]

Porsche Tiger? What's that?

[solid gate]

it is decent, I'd also recommend the polish heavy line, but, don't be afraid to experiment tanks and see which ones you like the most. Tier VII - VIII are the ones you learn the most about the line you're doing imo

[opaque zodiac]

A slimmer and longer tiger with turret on the front instead of the middle

[halcyon lotus]

_ Tiger (P) is a tier 7 tech tree tank. i don’t recommend it for new players though _

[solid gate]

Tiger P, the tank in the line that leads either to the Maus or the VK 72

[night citrus]

or the JgPz E100

[opaque zodiac]

The Maus is currently always bullied so I recommend vk 72

[solid gate]

yea

[halcyon lotus]

Maus is actually quite good now that they buffed it

[opaque zodiac]

Yeah but the problem is tier 10 enemies that has higher experience that will totally destroy u

[upbeat isle]

furiously jots down notes

[opaque zodiac]

And by the way if you want a total pure steel wall I recommend doing the Italian Td line which leads to Minautoro or the American TD line which leads to the E3

[solid gate]

dont create more of them

[opaque zodiac]

I want to make people experience hell like I did back then (I did 5 lines and only 3 worked out)

[upbeat isle]

I'll put them on my to-do list haha.

I noticed that basically all these suggestions are heavy tanks. Are they more forgiving of mistakes?

[opaque zodiac]

They're tank destroyers that can absolutely destroy everyone
(Well 50/50 because they're slow)

[solid gate]

Definitely, heavy tanks are more forgiving for their players, the best choice for a new player is to go for a heavy line

[opaque zodiac]

BUT DONT DO THE FRENCH HEAVY LINE

[upbeat isle]

Y?

[opaque zodiac]

It has high damage but it's a huge armorless box that will be obliterated in just the first 3 minutes

[solid gate]

The polish heavy line holds up pretty good, the VIII 53TP is amazing, would recommend you to try. Since the 45TP you have to learn the basics of hulldown on it, but is not much problem after you learn how to play in it

[upbeat isle]

Definitely sounds like a tank I will be bad with.

[opaque zodiac]

But it can do 1.3-1.6k damage because it's a loader than can burst out 4 shells that does 390 damage each I only recommend it if your good at finding positions and supporting

[upbeat isle]

Ok so in brief I'm hearing the following suggestions:

• German Tiger to E100 heavy
• Polish heavy line to 53TP
• Italian Minautoro TD
• American E3 TD (cautious recommendation - good tank but tough grind), American T110E5 heavy
• USSR tanks in general
• Avoid French tanks
• Avoid UK tanks

[opaque zodiac]

And the USSR is7 it's pretty good for beginners too because it got buffed a while ago

[upbeat isle]

That's fortunate, I'm currently furthest along the Russian tech tree (albeit only T4 so far, a loooooong way from srs bznss)

[opaque zodiac]

Alright understandable good luck grinding

[upbeat isle]

Thanks! Looking forward to it. I have a lot to learn.

[thorny jolt]

Should I sell amx 13 90 and start grinding BC 25t AP??
Or keep it?

[night citrus]

theres no harm in keeping it unlike on wot pc where you only have one crew

[grim oracle]

Hello guys!

[halcyon lotus]

hi!

[grim oracle]

who couldn't pick up the code?

[halcyon lotus]

which code?

[grim oracle]

well, like 12KKYT911

but I didn't have time

[halcyon lotus]

it probably expired and doesn’t work anymore. there are certain codes that are available for a specific period of time

[grim oracle]

see, but which ones?

who wants to play with sleep?

[north lynx]

Any suggestions on how i use the right crew and equipment for this tank?

[thorny smelt]

Go for Calibrated Shells

[north lynx]

Then?

[halcyon lotus]

Defense system and improved optics. the other equipment is good enough

[north lynx]

For crew sir

[halcyon lotus]

premium tanks don’t have a crew system so idk what you’re talking about

but if you’re talking about crew skills, then i suggest going for Adrenaline Rush first, then Repairs then Close Combat Master

[north lynx]

Im tlking about this one sir

Ok thnx for the tip sir

[toxic bolt]

Uhm is there no auto drive in blitz ? Like the one on pc?

[harsh elm]

all the unlocked crew skills are automatically applied at one

[obtuse plover]

Which should I buy, iron companions or Su130PM?

[halcyon lotus]

su130 pm. but if you’re not a fan of snipers, don’t buy either of them

[strong bane]

Is the premium round better for this tank?

[night citrus]

su130pm, you can play like a medium almost

[wary summit]

~260mm of prammo is a good amount of pen to load in tier 8

Load ~12 in and you're good to go

[honest rampart]

The M-V-Yoh is really funny in Mad games with the 120mm (2-shot) and with Half-life discharge, can deal like 1200 dmg in 1.7 seconds with it. Overall pretty solid tank (with the 120mm ofc) as long as you use rec. Wouldn't recommend using the 3-shot or shell reload boost. About the FV215b, I don't really know, it is quite good and can be very good if you know how to position well. About the XM551 Sheridan, idk, it's also quite good, but ppl told me it's pen is absolutily garbage. For the Chinese vehicles, go get the WZ-113G FT. It is amazing right now. The WZ-121 is also quite good, but would recommend to (first) get the WZ-113G FT

[quasi wedge]

215b is good if you know how to play it (never expose your hull, or as little as possible)

[solid gate]

Thanks, I will take the advices. In the Chinese line I'll go for WZ-113G FT then, as it's said to be quite op lately.

[honest rampart]

Your welcome :)

[solid gate]

Hello

[blissful cave]

I’ll look into this one

[dapper violet]

you don't

(no really, the minotauro angling weakens the armor and the 60tp has the hull which is weak)

[lyric copper]

stop peeking

also you cant really angle either to avoid that kinda pen

[blissful cave]

Todays tank of the day is T-39

[astral jewel]

The 114 sp2 literally had the worst ammo rack in the game. Got ammo racked at full hp twice in 7 games once from a grille shooting me in the hull?? And once an e4 shooting me in the side

[midnight slate]

give the cobra a camo called snakebite and the shell color when shot is green and when it penetrates a tank it does a fang like shape and when it doesn't pen venom gets splattered on the tank

[blissful cave]

Cobra was originally going to have a cobra snake camo but either this is for the Russian server only or they changed it to the collab one
