Btw, besides defender you might wanna save up for the upcoming italian line. The auto loader hybrid premium tank looks fun.

After getting the 168 tons premium Maus, my interested on Defender diminished rapidly, as I am not a fan of pike-nosed frontal armor even though it move pretty fast... and I guess the developers might do something about Defender's stats before re-release for sales, as its current specs hurts the sales of other tier8 premiums.

That italty hybrid prem tank definitely a must get for me... Lorr40t 's 33 seconds reload time is really painful to wait...

Now looking for any in-game tech tree premium T8 to trade with my FV4202... ever since I free XP until FV4005, I never touch my FV4202... (Its 1 of the best sniping premium MT though)

- STRV-S1 (best choice so far for unexplored tree)
- Lowe (overlapped with Mauerbrecher)
- Any other unexplored trees, preferably medium tanks (good for missions clearance)
- T34/Super Pershing?

Last Sat and Sun MM really shitty, my winrate of FV4005 dropped 4%, yesterday night only gained back 2% cause not play enough.

Guess weekend more school kids in some countries keep spamming yolo gun firing without aim properly...

thinking about swapping my patton kr  hmm.gif

bad terrain resistances and slow shell velocity.. i used to be able to counter meds and avoid close ups with heavies but now i couldnt.. new meta meds got so much tougher armors now while i get penned right left and center

is there any chance for me to trade in my alpine tiger..? 175 pen is a joke
*
Just checked Patton KR from TankGG, ZOMG that cheeks + hull weakpoint + cupola + overall thin armor + 0.38 gun + low alpha... its like USA version of IS-6???
shocking.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif

Dont trade away your Alpine tiger, reasons:

1. more silvers than usual T8 prems.
2. 175 pen is a joke if fight frontally, but its 390 alpha not a joke when u hit the side and rear (it is not a brawler despite it is a heavy), its role is like mid range side flanker/interceptor
3. Despite its pike nose slope 180-220mm effective armor, most heaives with more than 200+ pen can frequently PEN through in melee range, so its again not a brawler
4. Thus, I play it like a TD/heavium, which is critical to rush some points before waiting the slower heavies arrive. 50km/h is an insane speed for a T8 prems to compete with T9 and T10.
5. It has 1 of the best camo value among T8 heavies, and works well with camo net for long range first strikes despite its gun stats.
6. Mauerbrecher handle bounces way better than Alpine despite 5 weakpoints, but Alpine can outmanuver many heavies easily after maxing Off-road + clutchbraking.
7. In T9 and T10 matches, Mauerbrecher is being eaten alive in current version, but Alpine can use its speed to do some surprise ambushes/captures.

IS-6 is 175/217 pen with 35kmh, which is hopeless in all aspects, but not Alpine(175/250 PEN). Alpine is a crazy heavium.

But after seeing the asessment... tempted to trade away my Alpine...

Zomg why trade away the SKG? Although it sucks in fights within view range but its alpha and PEN still feared by enemies if they are not careful enough.

Just traded away my AC4 dicktank for M4 revaloise, & play a few games:

1. This Ravioli shell velocity shell speed is lightning fast, it reaches enemy right away as you click. PEN or not is another matter though. 1460ms is no kidding on those running LTs and MTs hunting.

2. Handles way better than SKG due to VSTAB + MT less gun bloom on turret turning, Vehicle also feel less sluggish than SKG.

3. Camo roughly same as SKG but better sniper due to better shell velocity reach targets WAY faster.

4. I am actually thinking of trading off my SKG if I find T34 and Ravioli gameplay better than expected, for a specialized open map sniper : STRV-S1

Alpine tiger is a unique tank in its own class, and cool camo! thus wont trade it away~

I thought you miss the tiger? You bought ticket last minute ?
SG is one of the best credit maker tank in the game so far, the only premium class that is bringing a tier 9 gun to 8,9,10 fight.
*
Missed like 3 tokens, thus spent RM65++ to get the rest of the tokens. Still a steal though consider how comfortable I use Alpine as high speed + decent alpha support.

SKG is very good in credit making tank due to its damage output,

but it is very unforgiving for new players/casual players due to 0 armor and bad camo within 445m sniping at tier9 and 10 games.

As a sniper: Its main 490 alpha gun can be trolling sometimes despite 0.29 dispersion, bad gun bloom when turning the turret, not to mention the low velocity shells arc and bad camo against most fast-moving MTs and LTs

As a support: 1150 with 0 armor is too little for trading hits if needed. Massive Gun bloom is a serious issue when it comes to peekaboom.

As a result: SKG only suitable as long range sniper between render distance and view range, if engagement range is closer than 445m, SKG need to find a larger building for cover + escape route after 1st/2nd shots. Its large profile is too easy to spot and aim at within 445m. In short, jack of all trades in many aspects, but master of none.

SKG may be so when your crew don't have more then 2 perks yet ....... for me majority of my match I was never spotted if my side is winning. Its a lazy man's tank, cause majority of your time you pick long range spot.

Currently my SKG crew are equipped with 2 skills (all camos and with critical skills/perks), it does prints great credits if you are good in landing 1 shot and cabut safely if spotted(very often)

Just purchase obj 252u 4days ago and so far enjoying this tank... my alpine tiger can officially start to gather dust in garage...

user posted imageuser posted image

Conclusion: based on how I categorize and rate current premium tanks by tiers, this 252U is not really consider as OP, but performs better than others as a non-pref MM premium tank...

Lol I thought you say pike nose not your style?

Anyway, if you like this you will love the obj257 leading to is-7 ..... that one even more troll then this tank.



*
yup originally pike nose is not my fav style, but after I compared all pike noses from Tankgg, 252u's pike nose with its default color sort on grew on me, and eventually I will need to explore Russian tanks very soon for 705a (that massive big alpha gun~)

After experienced the 4005 super massive 1750 alpha gun with 230mm HESH/310mm AP shells, I wont settle any lesser than 705a's alpha at tier X~

Somehow I feel in some situation, mauerbrecher survives better than 252u...

Didn't buy cause they didn't offer stock, the bundle a bunch of crap and ask for extra money.
Yea the tank not op, the obj 257 1 tier higher also not op if enemy know where to shoot, the pike tank basically test your opponent to see who is pro and who is newb.

In a haul down situation the obj 257 is crazy hard to kill with the turret face to thick.
*
I bought the 7000 gold + 252u package as I need the golds for trading away my FV4202 for STRV S1

252U against tier 9 and 10 tanks: load gold and HE, AP shells is almost useless as Alpine tiger AP shells

252u against same tier or lower: 50% gold 50% AP

Technically, if everyone in the game using gold shells, Alpine tiger mobility allow it perform better than 252u in brawling and melee flanking.

=========

Should I wait for free event crews or use 3 of my current personal mission crews for my STRV S1?

You already farming the Swid TD or you only want this to farm gold? If its only to farm gold then use the current reserve. If you want climb the Swid TD then use their crew in your starv. its best to start with the ikea box td in tier 6 ..... that mini tank is like FV304. The tier 5 is pure garbage.

So far 0 plan for grinding STRV line, so this S1 is intended to be used to grind silvers.

Now haivng 0 crews from event, 3 crews available from personal mission rewards.

Current meta worth to grind STRV line?

Most likely the asian team not sincere .... I'm not sure if they have any rights in price saying or not, but WG promote defender don't have the stock price (the one with the tank and garage only). It has never happen before with other tank, even those consider op tank always on sale besides promotion will have stock tank to sell with no discount if you choose to not get their discount package.

And if I am not mistaken when defender first came out they do sell stock price also. So either WG is so hungry for money they force player to pay extra for the garbage amount of gold or this decision is made by the asian team.

Its going to get worst after they introduce old tanks that they remove from tech tree to be only purchaseable with bonds. making player pay for gold AND bonds.
*
Usually gold and craps bundles with tank sales is cater for new players like me who need gold to convert 1:35 xp to skip tier 1-8 tanks to rush for tier 9 and 10 tanks (my case, I skipped UK TD tiers until Conway + top gun)

and I particularly thankful for Mauerbrecher bundle offer with tons of crew XP reserves and gold with discounted price since I need both Crew XP reserves + gold in supreme/ultimate package.

WG asia team is not sincere enough to cater for veteran players which only interested in premium tank+garage only price.

Now i struggling which prem tanks to let go for trade in for a different type of tank: (please advise)

1. Skorpion G - Gun & Hull handling inferior than M4A1 ravioli, Gun handling way inferior than STRV S1 (I can do drifting + siege mode to snapshot enemies), never touch SKG ever since I have S1 + Ravioli

2. M4 Ravioli - APCR pen a bit anemic against tier 9-10, but still great for sniping scouts and flanking.

3. Blackdog - Hull profile is too big as roaming scouts, I would prefer ELC EVEN 90 size if I want to went yolo scouting.



I am looking to trade in: (please advise on this)

M56 scorpion (for T95 crew training)
T34 (for T57 line grinding?)
New incoming Italian tank which might be included into tech tree?
Others tech tree premiums?


Prem tanks that I wont ever let go:

1. Alpine tiger - Unique camo and its HEAT shell 250mm PEN + high top speed is pretty good in adapting many situation, always loaded full gold but still gaining profits, and can fight on par with Defender, but with better mobility
2. Obj 252u - this tank act as main core of the mechanized units in my garage due to its thick armor except the big lower plate, as usual always loaded APCR (265mm PEN but cheaper than alpine gold) against tier 8 - 10 tanks.
3. Mauerbrecher - despite its numerous flaws and its only decent gun to redeem itself, its design is too badass to give up
4. STRV S1 - 1 of the best credit earning prems and best gun handling/snapshot in siege mode

Purchased discounted camo for them:

Well for players who earn gold from clan its just lame when they stick gold as a no option for every players. They never did that in any other tank, it goes to show they are desperate for that extra sales.

As for tank conservation every individual has a very different opinion on each tank, I have played most of the premium tank in 2 acc. To me the best tank is skorpion g. Its the only tank that is small enough for most bush, punch like a borsg/jagpanter2 and highly feared in t8,9,10 match especially if enemy can't see you. It is easy to die if you get spotted and the play style is to always keep yourself at maximum range at all times to stay hidden. reloading time not good enough for you to deal with close combat especially when you get flank. But this tank is king of long distance. I understand this might not be your cup of tea. This are generally sov/ger one of their play style tank.

You can trade skorpion g and m4 rav for something ...... if its not your play style, but you should keep blackdog since its one of the MT like tank to be able to practice flanking.

You will not gonna like M56 scorpion and t34, they both play like skorpion g except both had a piece of the worst draw back. M56 is not only paper, its armor is 1. Any thing with HE or SPG is gonna blow you up like christmas tree. T34 is huge like t29, you can't hide in most situation, best condition is haul down on hills and slope and pull shots with only your head.

From what I see you already have most of the unique tanks, should wait for italian, but if its up to me I would just buy the italian tank instead of trade in. I might be wrong but I think WG trade in program might not include just release tank and tank they deem special enough that doesn't put on sale in regular days. Need someone here to confirm.

Best is to keep them up ..... OR alternatively if you really want something to put your hands on and absolutely want to get rid of tank you don't enjoy playing anymore like the skorpion g,m4 or blackdog ..... you can pick up lowe. Ever since buff its one of those lulz tank in battle field as a heavy that can absolutely hold a haul down situation decent speed and gun.
*
Players who earn gold from Clan: I am so envy... I only have FV4005, can anyone here invite me to their clan so that I can earn gold as well?

Thanks for great advice on various prem tanks:

My experience of SKG (played and played against):
1. hull and turret profile is too big to hide immediately after being spotted, my SKG turret face always kena enemy fire first when emerge from hillside, or my M4A1 always can hit enemy SKG huge turret face on the side or on its top due to its big profile
2. SKG's AP shell is trollish in long distance... I managed to troll-bounce its shell by my M4A1 sherman butt... not rare occurrence though...
3. It is indeed the max render range TD no other tanks can take its title. Once enemy gets inside ur 445 range and without decent bush covers, you will be spotted once fired.

Yea guess currently only italian tanks for trade in if available in tech tree I suppose. Not much competitive tier 8 tech tree prem tanks which can compete against tier 9 and 10 matches as bottom tier.

As for Lowe, I already have Mauerbrecher as a german prem heavy tank, if possible I can have variety instead of overlapping nations/tank type

After FV4005, tanks that I am interested to use Free XP to skip & reach: (Please share ur view on these following tanks)

USA: T95 (not interested in E3), in love with huge tanks with quad-tracks after Mauerbrecher~
USA: T57 line
German: Grille 15
Sweeden: 103b line /Kranvagn
Russia: Obj 705a/Obj 268v4 line

Until 27 ...... its only giving 14 days to graind ...... I'm not sure about counting double exp or premium time you will need to earn 20k base exp per day for 14 days ....... the most possible way is to try and aim earning up to tier 8 reward then buy with 80% discount. that means you can skip a whooping 100k graind from tier9 and tier 10 reward, and on average every day need only 14k base exp.

But if they don't sell only the premium tank its also gonna cost a lot, most likely they bundle it up for a price of RM500+ above ...... RM100 ..... still consider cheap I guess, but if the tank sucks ppl gonna regret.

base XP mission + must top 10 baru counted... when you meet those LTs/MTs rushing heavy lanes, TDs stay way behind than SPG or same row... hard to get top 10 with a slow tank...

cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

Those fella are the reason why I pick T95:

1. by the time I reach the battle field, I can see my teammates' behaviour at some certain extent and plan further (ad-hoc pubbing)

2. My presence already can create fear into enemies & bolster our team confidence. Meeting wolfpack platooning enemies to flank me is highly unlikely.

3. When I driving a frontal assault tank, I can call and scold TDs for backup legitimately (If I staying back and yell wont be persuasive enough)

4. While I calling for backup, at least I can survive long while absorbing/bouncing enemy fires...

5. With Repairs + Camo + BIA skills up, combo with toolkit/spalliner/rammer/vents, multirole fighting become possible. Track repairs + clutch braking is essential against flankers...
