9.8 Domination Event is now live!



Available now in World of Tanks, enter the Domination event. Seek revenge on your opponents, capture flags and change or repair your vehicles during battle. Prove your supremacy!


My debut domination event battle. Very exiting and action packed game. Too bad I can only play a single battle today.

I'm eager to train the 3 tank crews for the entire month like the previous Winter Showdown event.

Finally aced it and retiring it. In my opinion, its one the toughest challenge in Tier II tank category together with the Tetrarch. Only thing left for me to master are the Tier II SPGs.


My best result so far in Domination. Prior to this, never had the opportunity play the Object 140 and AMX 50 B. Gained some useful insights and both are quite enjoyable to play. Too bad they don't give awards such as Top Gun and High Caliber in Domination mode.

While domination mode is fun, don't forget the UK Tech Tree Focus Missions.


The Excelsior is nice tank to have and in my opinion, it is better than the American T14 heavy tank.

Mission of the week:
Mission: France Tech Tree Focus 10 Tokens Reward: AMX Chasseur de chars (3 days TLV)

The legendary Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. J is now on sale on ASIA server Premium Shop.



The price is quite steep but still cheaper than getting the exclusive RU gift package from Belarus. Thinking whether to pull the trigger... Anyway, I'd prefer if WG offer the tank with higher amount of gold without credits.

I tried to buy the complete box set via TT not the code. Including shipping and bank charges it costs RM 598.45 @ 3.3815 Counter Rate last year. Its way higher now due to our falling currency. Failed due to US embargo.

The current Pz. II Ausf. J bundle is actually giving the tank as a bonus including a garage slot worth (1000 + 300 Gold) together with 10K Gold, 10 Million credits and 30 day premium account. (Total value 38,800 gold)

But why would I want to purchase credits when I can earn them in battles.
The BT-SV bundle was better. Sold together with 30K Gold. (3 choices of bundles)

Nice.

I wonder if the MTLS-1G14 will go on sale. I envy the Vietnam players.

9.9 Update will be released tomorrow for Asia server at 1700hrs.
9.9 Release Notes

RU players are facing some bugs in the 9.9 update. <Source> Hopefully the bugs are fixed when the update reaches us tomorrow.



Looking forward to the new domination event.

My debut Steel Hunt battle ended up in a draw with 17 points with another player with the highest XP. 12 players no holds barred, taking advantage of hunting other damaged players or preying on others that are already engaging with another opponent, running away from other opponents waiting for a chance to get to the repair zone.

Kill stealing, shooting other tanks in the back already engaged with another enemy isn't honorable but every player needs to take advantage to get as much points as possible. I can understand why some players dislike this mode. Nevertheless, this battle mode gives every player whether a newbie or a veteran a chance to play and train crews for five Tier X tanks and earn credits. Personally, I choose to concentrate on 3 tanks only.

The thread is located in the Mobile Gamers section. ------> <Link>

I can't recall if I had any CTDs in 9.9. So far quite stable.

New domination mode is now live. (2.2MB update) IMO is better than Steel Hunt; more like normal teamwork gameplay.

Domination: Supply Swarm

9.10 Update is finally here!





9.10 Release Notes
I'm gonna miss Province map. Removing it is a stupid decision from WG. I learnt a lot as a beginner on this map.

9.10 Mod List

The Jagdpanzer IV is ok. Fun to play tank destroyer with the 75mm Pak 42 L/70.



It is also the best camouflaged tank destroyer in its class.
<Tier VI TD Camo value comparison>

Nowadays I use CIMB Kwik for online transactions.

Starting the weekend mission today.. should have started yesterday. Not sure whether I can complete this.
Mission: The Battle is Ours - Reconnaissance

The small repair kit mission is nice but I'll probably just break even.
Mission: German Tech Tree Focus Token

Premium Tanks Net Income Tier II - Tier V

Premium Tanks Net Income Tier VI - Tier X

Common Test 10.0 #1 is now ACTIVE.
<LINK>



The new client does not allow for direct downloads and the game files can only be downloaded via torrent unlike the previous and current clients....

I'm going to miss the T82 TD with the 105mm M3 Howitzer. From 10.0 onwards, it will be designated as T82 HMC a Tier IV SPG.



Interestingly in the CT server, the stats and awards from playing the T82 are transferred to it's replacement; T56 GMC. That won't give T82 players an incentive to play the T56 GMC.

Another premium tank is now available in the Premium Shop since Saturday IIRC.
The French M4A1 Revalorisé.


Price as at today 11/2/15. Screenshot for price reference in the future.

Another new tank introduced in the Premium Shop today in 2 bundled packages The M4 Improved. Life is good in the ASIA server. Perhaps to cater to the well heeled Japanese players.

What's next? Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. K?
