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?

High pen good accuracy, if you are good at sniping the swed's TD line is one of the most scary opponent to face against.

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.

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
*
T95 is the slowest TD, like when I'm talking slow its RLY RLY slow. But if you want to face tank at a choke point with a TD this is the best troll tank haul down, its easy flank able, the cupola can be pen by gold, your belly is what most would aim if you are out in the open at close range.

T57 is fun with autoloader as heavy, but your face is so thin any t8 with decent 175 pen can punch your cheek. Ammo rack a lot.

grille 15 has a scary gun, but made out of paper, easy catch fire .... if you wanna play this line and don't want to graind trough the whole thing should buy up till borsg at tier 8. Play the same and punch pretty hard too. From there you can slowly practice up till grille.

Sweeden TD is like what your strv would function as. It would be best if you can buy up till tier 8 where the new switching mechanic starts. Kranvagn is just face troll, good at hills and haul down situation but anywhere else on your body is just free shot for any decent pen, in certain situation you can trade and not expect to get pen by enemy, but in a lot of situation especially when you don't have a haul down position to def or push your tank is pretty much sponge bob square pants.

Obj 705 is one of the new tank I'm not rly sure of as I'm farming for IS-M now, but it looks like the tank is doing pretty well in most battle especially side scraping. Fairly scary gun and good for charging if you have sufficient back up make this tank one of those tank that force enemy to make mistake, but if you made the wrong move you'll be the first one to die cause arty and high pen prioritize you over anything else.

The obj 268 is like a weaker version of obj 705, the gun has higher pen same alpha, reload a bit faster. But for that you loose much more front armor and your side is cheese to enemy with turning much slower and turretless it seems to be another version of haul down guard that doesn't move much to stay alive.

My personal recommendation is prob czech TVP, unload on enemy pretty fast usually pretty deadly against MT and LT. And type 5 heavy with thick armor and HE fun cannon.

If only on your list I would pick obj 705a over anything else, for the fact that the thick troll armor allow you to be aggressive with a decent gun.

Insane grainding to get italian premium for free.

Every stage demand more and more exp ...... total of 312000 base exp needed. Everyday need to earn 20k base exp from tier 6 - tier 10 range. Not sure if they count x2 exp or not.

Got any deadline, I only know tmr 6pm this event will start...

usually these kind of XP event they will include any modifier I suppose?

i am still waiting for 1:35 gold:XP rate come... for my T95~

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.

At my current state of MM... if I can get 50% discount I also happy d...

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...
*
My strat for upcoming graind is to use skorpion G and alp tiger ....... to get top 10 pretty easy, all you need is to stay alive as long as you can ....... and pull off at least two shot against enemy. Unless your team a lot super aggressive and pull more dmg w/o dying .... otherwise most of the time you'll be in top 10.

If they count 1st win x2 exp then even better ..... I got 20 tanks from tier 6 - tier 10 ....... can play and try to win 1st time in each tank and do my best.

Now baru cleared stage 1 and stage 2 in progress...

my aim is to clear until 50% discount, but seeing that XP requirements is pretty hellish for average players like me...

now I have 420k free XP... keep thinking which tier 9 to unlocked: (tend to avoid tier X which is another credit sinkhole)

now I am torn between T95 & STRV-103-0 as tier 9, both of them have their very unique personality & playstyle... or any other special & decent Tier9 which I can spend freexp on it...
*
I would pick t95 because of how insane the tank can guard 1 line, but its gonna be a super slow tank.

In battle field it depends on how good you are able to utilize different aspect of the tank you are driving. In the hands of very pro player its not easy to pen ....

In this game I feel like the tank that can do most is light tank, like BC-t series ..... or t54 ........ LTTB, etc ...... reason why is in t8 good enough pen, small profile ...... a lot of maps got pocket of bump that is good enough to take cover on the move. With good acceleration and manuverability they can pick out tanks that went solo, or hit camping tank that wasn't aware .....

but of course it will take a lot of practice before you could master the skills of using its speed to bully slower tanks .....

I had a few games where I took out 7 enemy tanks 1 - 2 tier above me and still not able to get Master ....... even after reset every week. That's a sign that a lot of pro is also playing the tank every week.

As for that progetto I feel that it might have been over hype by WG ..... auto reloading is like a lazy man's switch sure if you get flank by 1 you are going to loose a lot of hp, but their tank can be pen by most of the guns and they are pretty tall for their class ...... I constantly able to ammo rack them with O-HO's glass cannon gun and I find that their tank can easily get rack by HE shells ....

So if their gun take dmg or ammo rack their reloading time become insanely long, which force them to just back up and camp .......

If you can the next time if you see 1 try HE and see if they still bold enough to stay at the same spot or not laugh.gif

Thanks for the advice, guess I pick T95, as HE doesnt really kind on 103-B... and that Quad tracks drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

Very soon, I need to at least unlock 120mm gun using freexp, to avoid painful grindings as usual for most T9 tanks... 120mm supposed to be competitive enough to be useful while grinding towards 155mm right?

Duno why I somehow really prefer those tanks that going all the way to the extreme:

FV4005: Sacrifice almost everything for Biggest alpha gun and 1 of the best stock AP PEN
T95    : Sacrifice the mobility severly, but gets a scary gun + imba frontal armor + pretty good camo for first strike.

user posted image
1 of the first TD that, repairs always > camo, AND clutch braking > offroad driving...

I would recommend equipping heavy spall liner, because you are so thick its every hard for enemy to pen you especially moving front, with a few exceptional tank that has 310 pen and above ....... everyone is gonna spam HE at you and spg gonna make you their top priority.

Enhanced Coil + Spalliner + toolbox first? since coil needed for supporting 120mm without upgrading the tracks first? Rammer is not so needed on 120mm I suppose?
*
I don't think you would want toolbox, cause you are slow you are not going to move away fast enough before getting 2nd shot by enemy.

Reload in this tank with top gun at 3.28 also not gonna help you much cause your tank ain't gonna dash out dmg as fast as other tank .... I would pick fill tank with co2 so HE chance of setting me on fire is even harder and just troll enemy into spaming bullets on me.

But I think anyone with a t95 in this forum would have a better perspective then me since I don't own one.

I hate facing t95 most of the time but I notice there are module difference as some t95 are so easy to set on fire with HE while some others are just doing 10 .. 20 dmg to them with HE.

Red: Engine + Fuel Tank

No wonder, either engine fire 20% or else so big fuel tank area with thin side armor... Almost hinted, preventive maintenance perk + CO2 fuel tank + Spallliner are badly needed rather than EGLD/VENTS/Rammer.

Its front is pretty solid, but not its roof & sides... thats why arty pose more threat than flanking mediums... Since the buff T95 able to steer way faster than Brecher.

120mm is good enough to start the 150mm gun grind? or I directly spent some cash to free XP the top gun as well?

My current regret list:

Churchill 3 (Feel like kena cheated RM30++ as it is my very first premium tank to grind until my KV-2, it sacrifices everything for rapid machine gun shots with 0 PEN)
Obj 252U (the glacis plate is too big and armor sometimes trolling, macam punishing myself buying tier8 prems let tier 9 and 10 bully... gun handling sux I ever met among all my tanks)
Skorpion G (Gun trolling on me despite 0.29 dispersion, gun-shield is too big tall profile and always being exploited by enemy sideway peekaboom, enemy always get me twice trading my 1 shot)
M4A1 revaloise (this tank is decent for ridge line MT hunting, but I regret to put a female crew on it)
Blackdog (not much interest on LT for now... Tanks like progetto/Sheridan/T49 and autoloaders always bully me, HEP sometimes trolling me at some critical times)

My current "feel baloi" list:

Mauerbrecher (cool design fact + Quad tracks hands down, its gun handling and its flat armor ricocheting performance are GREAT even though its full of weakpoints, with superheavy spalliner lagi imba)
Alpine Tiger (I get a pike-nose IS-6 version with a 250mm gold PEN heavium, without the IS-6's slow top speed & pathetic 217mm gold PEN, at the cost of RM60++, apa saya mau lagi???)
STRV-S1 (my current most active sniping TD, some ppl might prefer turreted TD, but this tank's siege more with 8 km/h is way better in sniping enemies & retreat safely, its gun can snapshot with 0 gunbloom!!!)
*
Idk for me I wouldn't rush t95 ...... cause the next one t110e3 not famous for trolling ....... and on top of that its using the same gun except a bit higher pen. It sec super turtle for mobility.

Don't get fooled into thinking the cupola is easy target ...... 7 out of 10 shots with AP or APCR don't go trough.

120 should be decent if you don't like the stock ....... for me I would just play with the stock, cause the t95 is to train how to be a troll ......... not rly a dpser.

as for vehicle, I don't have a regret list ........ my fav tank is skorpion G ..... 912 match so far ...... in my opinion its like a mini jagpanter 2 ... as long as enemy trying to close up distance I get to punish them with heavy punch. Even skilled scout can't weed me out in mid range. The gun is a bit trollish at times but I made a lot of high tier tank cower in fear especially those that rush laugh.gif .
