Is it just me or did they nerf skorpion G in any way? I notice that my game of late the skorpion G suddenly kind of sluggish .... the arc suddenly like KV-2 ..... and the lead have to be so much more compare to the past, I don't remember shooting like that a month ago ...

At first I thought it was a nerf to arty, but after a few match I realize actually WoT just made arty their ransom minions. Last time if you are too exposed you get hit by arty then understandable that you might choose to use repair for your own mistake.

Now the arty splash is so wide it hits you even if you are in cover, and since the radius of impact doesn't affect the chance of getting stun, you will most likely force to get stun every time it hits near you and you'll have to spam repair kit to get out of the situation.

I tried to test my theory by purposely playing my FV304 ..... and sure enough I kept so many ppl locked in place just by splashing near them. my FV304 rarely lock tanks (especially large ones) as consistent as what I did last few match since the update.

They need to fix this. Cause I see now a lot of choke points 1 arty can lock 3 - 4 tanks and force them to spend repair.

I have positive view on rank battle, if after a few game you will only get pair with someone around your level of progression that means eliminating turds and tards that piss you off in random battle .... like I would exclusively just play in rank battle and have smarter and more competent players as my teammate ...... at least around my level. I have so many battle lost and was constantly one of the top 3 in the loosing end. This rank is going to sort out pubs from the seasonal.

chrysler k is overrated ..... in practice it drives like vk45.02b ..... I have drive that thing before and its not easy to learn how to move the tank because its long shape, same like the chrysler .... many player tend to over angle it and get pen, on top of that the tank don't always have that opportunity to hold a place w/o getting flank. If you platoon with a tall tank then maybe 2 or 3 of you can go choo choo train along the ally, but I have punch it with tiger2, IS-3 .... heck even jagpanter. Only thing to remember is to never go face to face with them on flat ground, other then that there is nothing much to it.

The object 252 on the other hand is way more gay then the chrysler .... but also again if the player had never play IS-3 before they will be a total turd in the object 252. I spend so much time on IS-3 to know dmn well what to do against another "is-3".

Foch rant like a kid, that's his style, I don't rly watch his channel either, but I think the whole shi*t storm is more about WG issuing youtube threat that was the concern of others and is giving the impression that WG could use the same tactic again in the future if they don't like their content. If they feel that foch is slandering and could be put in court they could have issue a law suit instead .....

Jingles face the same shi*t before in the past when his channel was covering war thunder ...... which is why jingles is seriously consider quitting to cover any of WG product if they do not unanimously convince him that this whole thing is just a mistake gone out of hand.

Any pros own a t-43 ? How the heck do you play this thing? Doesn't look like there is any sort of improvement from t-34-85 .... and worst since its 1 tier higher you get mm with 7,8,9 that could crush your tank simply by just blowing smoke on your face.

The tank does train you in awareness and manuver, but this tank I think more fun if you have friend or teammate that is also t-43 to roll with you, like a group of wolf pack .... alone by himself this tank can only do dips and chicken dance ..... I ran the t-43 with 2 other commet the other day and it was a good distraction killer since in-experienced ppl always tend to focus on more famous tank instead of this, and if they don't check their list they could have assume I'm a t-34-85 because it looks almost the same.

Lol tangan bergetar ........ pricless ....

Dmn bullshi*t if skorpion g discount at a 30% ..... I just give those farkers 200 bucks few months back

I got lowe very long time ago, its fun but not as sinful as skorpion g

Can go trough meh?

Is it possible to damage cheat? I had a game against amx 13 90 ...... top gun AP/APCR maximum do 240 per shot, HE is 320 ...... but he is pulling shots with 400 - 500 damage per shot, took me out in 2 shot on my E75 because his second shot blow 1670 (most likely ammo rack) ....... then run around and just pump shots in mauchen and type 5 heavy like they have no armor ..... some shots to the side, some are right in front.

in just seconds he rake a group of 5 tanks hp down so low enemy came from left just charge in and finish the rest off.

Unfortunately I don't have it on, the match stack up so fast eat my space only ...... I made a report, waiting for reply .....

But I swear to god I see 400 - 500 after I die and switch to other ally behind the line.

The new TD works fairly ok, much like the german line except that it has a little more derpyness towards soviet gun. Not particularly amaizing in my personal view.

Don't waste gold for faster getting of new gold, its not worth it, you might feel happy getting a new stock tank from that branch but you will realize very quickly its gonna suck for a while until you have upgrades. Its especially worst when you are in the tier 5 - 8 zone because this days too many power tank so you'll most likely waste money if you spend them on that. I'd rather keep the gold and use them on future discount on barrack slots or vehicle slots mostly.

If you absolutely hate grainding with heavy then I suggest just stick with the traditional spg line, the improvements aren't too great until you hit tier 8.

I personally play trough to kv-2.

gold should just save for rainy days, don't rly recommend to spend them on exp conversion, not worth at all. If you really have money to spend I would suggest getting a good tier 8 premium tank one time ..... for like RM200 bucks or lower during discount of that vehicle. Depends on your play style that one tank is going to be sort of like your actual income earner for the rest of your game. I personally like huge dmg , high pen and camp ...... so I bought skorpion g.

I think getting 1 premium tier 8 tank is much desired if no regular time to play, like if you only play 2 - 3 times a week the premium aren't going to give you much. Of course the most ideal is if you have premium vehicle and premium time, personally because of work I usually only have like 1hr to spend on alternate days, I use to have premium time, and with churchill 3 was earning fairly decent, but ever since I got skorpion g my 2 - 3 time play earn way more then the churchill 3 ..... so now if I have a long 1 - 2 week break I would spend on the 7 days ticket so I can maximize and not waste premium time.

Don't sell churchill 3, its one of the good money earning tier 5 and below tank, fairly strong in fact, in all tier 5 premium its very beginner friendly with a decent gun and excellent reload time, even if you don't win all you need is just a few shot and you will still be earning decent, when you are good at handling the tank you could even earn 80k 1 round w/o premium time. In fact I had always use churchill 3 for credit grainding for almost a year+ .... whatever you do I strongly suggest never ever sell churchill 3 ...

You can never go wrong with KV-2, its like carrying a t5-t6 spg and hit enemy in the face .... the only problem is because its very famous and well known to many ppl that your gun will derp a lot of different tanks out people almost very certain to aim for you first rather then any other enemy, reloading time is quite long since you are technically derping with a spg gun, but its a lot of fun and a lot of enemy are afraid to go head on with a kv-2.

SU-100Y is fairly good at its tier same goes with dicker max but the down side is su-100y is freekin huge, if you get spotted you will be dead before you reload your next shot, and the reloading time is very slow ...... 196 pen is pretty good against tier 6 or 7, but you have not much chance against tier 8 heavy who mostly demand higher pen at angle, also because of the old policy, premium tank in the past have defect compare to same tier normal tank in the past because they want to justifiy a premium tank not being a pay to win tank, so su-100y actually have even less pen if you are using premium ammo in exchange for more damage.

Tank that have no real side defects is only introduced starting last year but mostly tier 8 premium tanks. I understand that not everyone like to splash like rm200 to solve the problem as a whole, which I suggest you should graind slowly and only use free exp to upgrade guns from new tier, save gold either for more slot (which you will mostly run short of) or barracks ..... the reason why barracks is because some event give you free high tier crew, which will eat up your space if you have not reach that tank yet, but save you a lot of money and training crew time because they start with 100% ready to jump in in top tier tank.

If you have spare gold and really want to get a working credit / exp farmer I would suggest dicker max over su-100y .... for the fact that you can peak over obsticles to shoot w/o exposing yourself with gun depression way smaller then su-100y, higher camo rate, almost 2 times faster reloading time, run faster , higher view range and signal range. Even though dmg is not as high as su-100y, both tanks can't 1 shot higher tier tank ....

Also if you are buying those tank with real money I suggest wait till they have discount before you get them. This game is mostly about testing your patient, and as you graind up to higher tiers you will find them slowly become much more difficult to farm, the more excited you are to rush to top tier the more you will unknowingly spend unwanted real money onto it, by the time you realize that all the money you spend could have bought a super class tier 8 premium tank its already too late.

The key to moderate enjoyable game experience in WoT is to be patient, if you are not willing to commit money to it stay with using the churchill 3 to graind for credits needed first, spending on t6-t7-t8 will not make a difference if your experience in the game is still below average, like if you get a tier 8 premium tank but most of the time die before firing a shot to hit you will only end up earning like 5 - 10k per round, not until you start to get better at it and do adverage dmg of 2500 - 3000 per game that you start to see very good return. same goes to premium time, the x2 money and exp is also going to be very little .... in those kind of situation you are better off farming with churchill 3 since at that level its way easier to put in more dmg and get more credits and exp.

All this base on my experience in the game as a noobie few years back, friend had some premium tanks and I tested out, most of the time if you aren't rly that skilled with the tanks you'll get out gun pretty easily, work up to tier 8 normal tank, then start to see its very difficult to farm enough money to buy tier 9 cause they cost minimum 3mil + credits, not to mention buying a 75% crew ..... which is then only I decide to spend once with real money after I see what last tier required .... 6mil credits.

At first farming with premium didn't get much, which is why I didn't pay for premium time, but once you get the hang of it and consistantly doing good dmg, premium double that farming time. In average I can earn 3 - 5mil easy with a 7 day premium time with my premium tank which pretty much save my time on grainding, otherwise I think you will have to be a much hardcore player to earn the same result to buy tier 9 and above tank.

1.

Anything you need credit for is much easier just spamming churchill 3 play to earn them.

If its exp then it will be 2, cause kv-2 is earning local exp as well as free exp at the same time. Rarely ppl spend free exp to get a new stock tank.

I also wanted to quit when I played 3 months into the game, but then I join a clan and train with them, now a days most of the match can either earn or semi carry, the thing I hate in their MM is they mix loud mouth and pros, sometimes you are not lucky your side is full of loud mouths who die in the first 30 sec.

But the recent season for tier 10 only rank base on skill, I heard a lot enjoy that mode because the rank will place you with ppl around your skill level instead of random.

yea same.

All XVM does is just giving you rough info about each individual in your team, many don't know how to use them and see base sololy on statistic, and when they see the predicted win rate they are already discourage to do their best even before the game starts. I went on a match where half of the team died early and a few guys kept saying base on xvm you guys suck. In the end me and 2 other guy take on 7 others that is supposingly "best" in xvm rating and won the game.

So conclusion you can look at xvm to make predictions, you can't rely on xvm to tell you the game outcome. Quickybaby, a WoT youtuber made this clear in his past and current video a pro player who constantly carry his team in random battles.

I don't think spg looking out for best performance player in game would work, if they are good and pro players they are never seen active on map, they rarely hit the front line or hot spots that everyone go. If spg waste time aiming for them they would not be able to properly support their team. SPG always should aim for dangerous tank first regardless of their skill, From tier 8 - tier 10 some of the tank have big guns, some have high armor, if those are not taken out first they can bully their way trough and crush the whole team that has weaker or less numbers.

Back in the days when spg can 1 shot maybe, in my experience if I am on famous hard tank I'm always the one who get the shot first, from 3 enemy spgs ....... and my win rate is below average ..... so I'm not exactly a pro player , just competent enough to deal with case by case situation.

So far I rarely met spg that don't aim at me in the frontline. I don't deny there is spg still hunting exclusively base on XVM .... I just think in current game state its not practical. A lot of pro player on twitch with high winrate never get caught by spg unintentionally only when they choose to expose themselves.

This reminds me, I got all female crew except for light tank. Save for is-7? maus? e100? jagpanter e100?

Its on discount at rm48 now for su-100y .....

It depends on your purpose, remember, buying a premium tank you have to consider if its useful to you or not besides credit earning, if you are not interested in any of the russian TD then su-100y is only for credit earning, you can train your crew in russian TD line inside su-100y with no crew penalty, but you can't train other class or country w/o penalty.

Since there is no arty premium that means if you are just playing arty all the way the su-100y would not affect your path but you won't gain much benefit from it either besides credit earning.

I know this is a bit of a bummer but I suggest focus on 1 line until you hit tier 10 for that line before you move to the next, otherwise you would end up like me having 15 - 20 tier 6 - 7- 8 tanks and its hard to keep track or focus.

If you really like others tank pick 1 as your target for each class, but only 1, if you grab too much you would end up loosing interest because it will take some time to graind. Any tank tier 5 and above I suggest google them up and see what is their advantage and disadvantage. Tank that have high fire power often are derby and not accurate, and most of the time slow, tank with less fire power especially MT are mostly recon flank, tank that are fast are scouts but require some real driving skills to pull off good plays.

Some nice tank like the T29 the line is pretty bad before you reach that, especially in m3 lee stage, so make sure to also check out on the line of tanks leading to your dream tank to make sure its worth it before you commit to it.

In short if you want something tier for tier that hit hard and earn credit su-100y is a pretty good choice. At that price. I'm not sure if there is any better that is below rm50.
