Is Maus still a popular tank ??
*
Yes, one of the most iconic tank, but be warn if you try to graind for it, before you hit tier 8 with the vk series the other tank leading towards it (up till tier6) is really bad, you will most of the time be sort of like a minimal support rather then bulling people.

They have a twisted mind of letting you suffer until you get their tier 8 vk.

Is the holiday event loot box mission objectives counted as a whole or per tank?
*
Per tank each tier. WG is not crazy enough to discount the whole line with that much discount. 30% on tier 10 is almost never heard of. If they give whole tier 10 30% discount everyone is going to wait for this kind of event every year.

Got the E100 on new year's day. Love the armor, I get 8k block on my first match. The armor is exceptionally trollish.

Mine:

I bought 100 Holiday Ops crates. Opened 70 boxes and still another 30 yet to be opened. Plan to open the rest next week.
I'll update the complete list of items that I received later when all the boxes are opened.

Received 2 Garage Slots and 2400G from the CNY box package.
Received 1 Garage Slot and 1200G from the Traditional Christmas box package.
Substitute for either the Pz.Kpfw. B2 or T28E with F-30 that I already have in the garage.

Received the T26E5 from the Traditional Christmas box package.

Is the Type 59 in one of the 30 unopened boxes? I'll find out next week...

I am interested to buy mauerbrecher cause I like its decals, but then I was in Japan the day after BlackDog...

Hows that brecher doing? I heard it has a very big weakspot at front... and it moves like a churchill...

Now having 360k free XP... struggling which line to spend... UDES vs FV4005...
*
Mauer play like the maus tank series, looks like maus, play like maus, thick armor. speed is surely gonna be slow, but not too slow, its not like t95 kind of slow. The tank need very good angling knowledge and practice to play, cause with so many players spamming premium rounds this days even the thickest armor easy get pen if you angle this type of tank the wrong way.

I think its faster then churchill.

UDES and FV play very differently, one with turret another without.

UDES going to be hard if you are not familiar with positioning, as you rely on hidrolics for gun depression and you are strongly advice to always stay at the back line, basically a camper's tank, if you go front with multiple enemies that slope armor aren't going to bounce all the shells, especially HE. However the gun accuracy is pretty pin point.

While FV seems like they pack a lot of punch in paper, its more of a bully against lower tier tanks, against higher tier its good tank to punish any player who give you those opportunity, but against player that know their tank you rarely get any chance to do insane amount of dmg face to face, not to mention your turret is made of paper that is so thin even tier one can do dmg to you, so if you ever get spotted you are most likely dead. Any player would switch to HE rounds if they see you, and if I am not mistaken very easy get ammo rack. Also not a frontliner.

So if you are those that like sneaky shots go for udes, if you are those that want big boom go FV. Performance wise udes is a better choice in my own opinion because of fairly good at haul down, pretty nice camo very good accuracy. While the FV firepower is insane, its too huge of a box and too paper to stand against others in a tier 10 match, unless you are facing a bunch of kids the FV see little action in mid to front line because if you get spotted its too easy for enemy to focus on you first because of your gun.

You have until march, you should assign them before march, once you do you have 1 year time to graind for your assign reward tank.

If you didn't claim by march its gone.

Anyone here able to get at least 1 holiday ops full collection reward?

Felt WG Asia screwed up the shards/boxes/camouflage badly...

++++++++++++++

Btw, remaining 3 female crews I might assign them to my KV-2 for IS-M grinding... Rear turret + Side scraping always welcome~
*
I got the german one done, you won't be able to collect all, if you get 2 is consider lucky already, this collection is actually design to lure ppl to buy box. Since asia cannot have deco from lootbox all they did was just giving you some extra box per week's mission. By calculation you will not be able to get all the collection, even if you pay money for the lootbox. Either way this friday (19th) should be the last free mission, if they don't have means you sould assign all your tanks and take up all female crew and make sure all your reward is claimed then remove and crush all chrismas event item for shard to push for the last luck. (Total 4.5k shard when you crush all the lvl5 deco).

Once you claim all the reward and got all the female recruit the deco is usless (only good for melting it down for shards).

I would say female crew put to a tank you wanna play long term. All my earn female crew goes to e100 and remaining ones from mission I put into my skorpion g. With 2 perk fully researched it makes a difference in battle.

Erm... ur t-10 will be replaced by Obj 257, which is the next version tier9 HT before IS-7...

user posted image
Combat XP grinded using T-10:
-Stay within T-10 If you unlocked IS-7 before version 9.22
-Goes to Obj 257 If you unlock IS-7 AFTER version 9.22

Purchased T-10:
- You get to keep if you purchased before version 9.22, Obj 257 will be added to your garage for free.
- You only can get Obj 257 when version 9.22 is applied.

Note: not so sure whether you have to grind T-10 again after the 9.22 patch, for new tree~
*
The new mysterious tank won't be out this patch, but given that t-10 is so agile with fairly good gun I hope the new tier 10 won't be just a meh.

I already know I will get the obj for free cause gm told me. Most likely will use the new obj to graind the is-7 out.

Obj 257 feels like a tier9 defender to me in order to advance smoothly for IS-7, pike nose heavium series..

If they din change anything on T-10, its role and specs will be overlapping awkwardly with Obj 257.

unless they redesigned T-10 to fit its historical design(flatter nose front), & maybe revamp the whole IS-4 tree~

Current T-10 design & specs I guess they take from T-10M's 50kmh speed, the actual T-10 has a flatter front nose hull, and speed is 42kmh...

Now Lorraine 40t & Mauerbrecher sales offer 1 days left, should I wait for defender sales or take mauerbrecher ultimate package?
*
With so many gold spam mauer isn't gonna be anything special, its also slow. I would pick defender, lorraine is ok but if you face multiple enemy its kind of fragile.

Just bought Mauerbrecher - Ultimate pack, despite the reviews and forumers keep dissing on it, cause it plays like mid range fire support instead of frontline heavies, maybe this is the reason why ppl whines a lot? Its gun is decent though.

Defender is definitely good... but when is the last time it was re-released again? About Prem MTs... I am still thinking which one to trade in with my FV4202...
my Doombarn always loaded HESH rounds first for scouting LTs and MTs... you can see that unfortunate T54e1 in my vids...

Well the mauer isn't a bad tank, just that it isn't a tank I feel like paying for. I got maus on my 2nd acc and fairly good at blocking apcr rounds, its just not so exciting to me. The reason why I like defender is because it works like is-3, and soon I'm getting the tier 9 version of the defender. I like the pike nose play because I spend more hours playing them.

In battle I don't fear the mauer because I know how the tank works, don't rly fear the defender either because rarely you see pro driving one. I fear the krysler k when they are in a tunnel frontline because you can't pen that in the same tier even with premium. Only can HE them.

Sometimes when you have those heavily armored tank and in a match up when you are the top tier the group tend to have unrealistic expectation that you would carry the game, so be prepared to ignore them.

Also since you bought mauer I encourage you to graind the maus line, see if the VK100.01P is up to par as the premium or not. But tier 6 and 7 leading up to vk is not so fun to play, very underpower.

A lot of ppl assuming Brecher is a brawling tank, but I see it as mid-range support + sniping due to its gun + view range...

Should I give up this tank & waiting for a not-confirmed defender release on march?
https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/announceme...-february-2018/

This is why I am thinking whether to get a refund for my purchased-not-yet-used Mauerbrecher, but not sure Asia server will follow or not.

You should keep it, its a great tank to distract enemy spg and top tier because they are always mistaken to be as scary as maus, use that advantage to force enemy make mistake so that your side high dmg can pump in shots.

As for defender you can just buy the plane one without the special offer after. That tank also require you to have knowledge in how to position in order to be effective, which means you need to sort of like able to master pike nose before you can see magic happen.

However if you can only pick either one my personal choice would be defender because personally I love the pike nose more then the box. But if I am in your situation I would have pick the mauer because they already going to give me the tier 9 obj 257 which is even more trollish compare to defender.

Tier X games always rugi, regardless the cost on gold shells, or repairing destroyed vehicles

So spend extra more for gold shells + food to win the game better for teams too.

=====================

About Mauerbrecher, Its speed really need a buff  (30kmh) to fit its name: Wallbreaker~

Since it has multiple weakpoints, but 0 camo, technically Mauerbrecher is not behaving like a Maus, instead it is designed to be opposite of Maus series.

Not sure why so many whiner whine about Mauerbrecher's weakpoints (It is not really a frontline brawler), I can easily get III medals from my Mauerbrecher games.

Its 168 tons mass for ramming is priceless.

Premium ammo in my opinion is better to only use when situation calls for, like if it makes dmg difference etc, if its just the pen difference and you already spamming them regardless of what enemy you are facing surely its going to be a money sinker.

That premium shell if you spend on heavy tank with spall liner equiped the dmg is going to be significantly less. But in this case against paper armor its always a good call to retire them early because of the dmg difference.

My current FV4005 prem ammo/AP ammo priority:

1. Always loaded HESH when game starts.
2. Pre-aim those open areas usually rushed by LTs/MTs/Fast TDs => Boomed done team a very good favour.
3. Continue to use HESH on heavies/SuperHeavies if their HP < 750.
4. Switching to AP ammo when facing Heavies/SuperHeavies if their HP > 750.
5. Switching to AP ammo for Arty hunting, but usually finish them with HESH as reload times is too long.

My findings on FV4005: Double intuition on loaders almost done, this skill is far more important than any loader skills/BIA on 2 of my loaders. It gives my 4005 a chance to fully peekaboom an incoming speedy threats like LTs/MTs. 34% chance of instant switch ammo type is too good to skip.

==========================

Mauerbrecher now can be called as Tank Griller~

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

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.
I just started my tanking since last year Sept, despite my account is like 2011-2012 years old?  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

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.

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

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.

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.
