Lootboxes damage and items obtained: (rough calculation first)

75 New Year (only 1 damn SU130PM)
25 Lunar (0 tier 8)
25 Lunar (Progetto 46)
25 Lunar (0 tier 8)

70k gold and 9.4 million
All 3D styles
All low tier premiums.

After Progetto I kinda, ok its good to stop, cause obj 730 II is not really better than the Italian medium.

Despite the RM896 I spent, the gold return is actually good for 2 years portion.

Well put it this way, this holiday OPS is good way to get cheap golds for:

1. Black market
2. Reduce wastage from other shitty events including Advent Calendar "discounted" tanks

Spread it across 2 years, you will see WG's gacha compensation is way better than other mobile games.

After checking and compare to tank GG:

703v2 > Progetto > Su-130pm > E75 TS



IS-3A gun handling lost a lot to 730v2...

Forgot to mention, I have 101 days of premium account.

A really sound advice: Don't buy any regular priced tanks without at least -30% coupons, I kena once at Mauerbrecher ultimate package. That tank is no fun at btm tier at all.

After all these years spending, only black market and holiday Ops really ok. Or else marathon -70% discount.

Don't forget black market + Advent rare tanks purchasable by gold lol

2 years cause i allocate 1 year RM400 for WoT, 70k gold is possible to last 3-4 years cause I got most tier X I wanted last year.

The key is silvers never enough.

The plot twist I believe, by WoT nature, maybe last day is 730v2, cause to compensate those salty players who din get from Lootboxes, who knows?

Thats the difference, now salty players bloated with golds, they wont spend cash further for regular sales, WG should know about this, and take advantage of Advent Calendar as Gold sink (not regular price in gold for sure if really true)

Some tips on how to use blueprints:

1. simply skip the tanks that you hate on papers
2. National blueprints is highly not recommended to unlock tanks start from tier 7, on the other hand, Free XP is only recommended to jump tiers until tier 6
3. If you really short of UNIVERSAL blueprints, unlock all nations low tiers tanks(only if you do not have any regular tank grinds left)
4. Lastly, SPGs

Just did a rough maths:

Black prince?

Caern/ConQ/SConq are actually fun to grind, as long as you free XP the top gun.

I am thinking which tier 8 regular to reap the bonus of combat experience, Tiger II/Ferdinand/Lynx/M44 SPG/IS-M

Progetto is so much fun and flexible, and SU-130PM is more accurate than SKG for me.

Unless you have ntg else to skip in uk tree, otherwise not worth to use bp on SConQ.

BP is best use between tier 7-9

Urgent can unlock whole line except tier 1-4, and tier X

FreeXP does a better job in unlocking tier 1-4/5.

Worth to purchase with gold? I unlocked my TVP/T51...

Which is why I stopped at 150 boxes, and save all the gold for black market, I dont mind to gacha actually, since in my progetto + SU130-pm are dropped AFTER my 75 boxes...

But having too much gold unused, while giving WG too much cash... now waiting for 703v2 sold in gold hahaha

Just saw a 703v2, ammoracked a e75ts 1500 full HP, first salvo.

My bc25tAP ammoracked by that salvo too.

Its actually way more op than is3a in module damage. Its gun far more accurate too.

I will gladly swap my is3a to 703v2 any day.

Currently wolfpack of 2x 703v3, very deadly in random games, need more than 3 tanks to hold them off, this twin barrel shotter fits well the job of bullying muppets

I dont really hate my IS-3A being vastly inaccurate than this twin barrel, but 2x 122mm gun compare with 1 autoreloading... twin big barrel always appeared as more manly to my taste hahaha...

and I kinda like => deadeye + big calibre gun type of person since FV4005... so 703v2 fits my taste very well...

now I have to choose between, so many tier 8/9 ready for me to grind/skip tiers with BP....

IS-M
Ferdinand
Tiger II
M40/44
T54e1
Mauschen
UDES/IKV90

Current Progress so far: (LT-432 is such a OP LT)

Primo Victoria > STRV 81, due to:

- I am a sucker on rear turret compartment design (P.Victoria/CAX/T1-LPC)
- shell speed way faster for sniping

But both only available via cash... not gold...

Progress:

1. USA line Skipped T71DA, T69, T54e1 and T57 heavy with blueprints (originally already almost complete before Xmas rewards)
2. Unlocked T54e1 top gun from stock gun, its not really hard to grind 43k combat XP during Holiday Ops.
3. Other Blueprints unlocked: Caernarvon, E75
5. Spent quite some gold to re-assigning/retraining crew

Current crew allocation priority:

Monthly Twitch Prime Commanders: reset skills & assign accordingly.
New BIA female crew with 1 maxed skill: Lights/Mediums Gunners/Drivers
New BIA male crew with 0 skills: Loaders
Existing BIA female commanders: Change Qualification into Gunners/Drivers
Existing BIA male crew: Change Qualification to Loaders

2020 Santa Old Uncle crew: Commanders only
2020 Julia Winnfield: Commanders only (changeable class but Sixth Sense cannot be reset)

my first 75 no tier8 prem either, only next 25 got SU-130pm, then next 25 get progetto

Progresss for this week:



Since the holiday ops maiden x5 bonus extended until 28 jan...

I can either try to:

1. Grind my ferdinand until Jagdtiger
OR
2. Grind out my m40/43 all out until t92HMC
OR
3. Grind silvers until buying all these
IS-7 / objek 277 / T-100-lt / objek 705
T57 heavy / t95
Conqueror / Charioteer
E75 / Mauschen

Just submitted my bids... kinda expect all 4 bids will not kena... my budget is limited now... especially CNY...

Lets see, in order to get the M41D / WZ-120-1G-FT ==> you need to fork out money to get 2500 tokens - 1800 mission tokens => 700 tokens by money.

Some rough calculations:

RM 11.22 per 100 coins on cheapeast package

RM 33.66 per 300 coins on 2nd cheapest package

RM78.54 needed for the remaining 700 coins

this is IF, without extra cost from the bundle

but in fact at least need to spend
40.18 package x 2
22.69 package x 1


Total need to pay RM 103.05 for the 700 coins

As usual WG, only offering roughly 40% off on WZ & roughly 20% off on M41D via MEH bundles.
