Should have wait for chrismas event, if you level your chrismas tree to lvl5 you could get tier 5 for free. In terms of 1st t10 choice ..... udes series ....... no doubt due to the accuracy.

In my opinion unless you want cheap gold buying box not worth trying to gamble for tier 8 premium, and in our case no deco. We have to pay the same amount as other server do and no deco.
My guild 8 aussie gamble 75 box each person , only 1 get the type 59, 2 get the t26e5 ........ the rest gets all garbage tank as garage slot. No one get the skorpion g. The gold average out to be 48 - 50k range. Way cheaper then buying from shop at that price.

So if rly need gold this lootbox is 100% worth for that.
Should have bought Mauerbrecher ..... lol. That tank make blackdog look like puppy.

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.

Maurbeercher is a huge punching bag. Avoid this. Ppl jusy spam gold at u.

Go for fv4005 line. Udes line is too easy and quick to finish till tier X u won't noticed the time spent with it.

For any tank nation and class, i normally just skip the top modules (guns) and play the remaining xp to unlock next tier. I rarely rush to open two different tank at one time.

Ur ikea td now already unlock which tier?

Oh if like that u focus on fv4005 II line first lor. I belip u already unlock till tier 7 under fv4005 line right?

For me I will suggest you to go IKEA line. Insane camo, top notch penetration, LT-like speed, trollish armor. When facing IKEA td vs FV series, I am never afraid of FV series unless I'm cornered. Most of the games I get shot multiple times from a ninja IKEA double/single bushing and penning my weak spot from half the map away.

Personally I own the IKEA TD line up to Tier 9, very enjoyable grind, and sometimes you feel disgusted because people can't spot you from 300m away even though you're firing non stop. 

where can see?

yep i felt it.

im on my way to gulag now..

got strong feeling meta will change to soviet (super)heavies and (heavy)tds 

IS-M and 705A? Watt? New tech tree ar?

Anyway dat shitbarn derp. Lmao.

But all we need is kv2. Nuff said.

KV-2 got russian bias accuracy.

you no need fully aim to shoot a target,

Yes. Yes that was what I meant. With kv2, u reach end game already.

I long time no play dunno got new tech tree dy lol

I'm actually more curious about what is after the t-10 ...... I got that tank 3 months ago and now almost finish unlock all the modules, saving the rest for the new tank, estimate about 175k exp ........ They better give something OP to t-10, been working so hard to get IS-7 trough t-10 ...... now got option to get the mysterious tank instead.

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.

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.

OMG another doombarn user. Time to shoot more HESH rounds

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.

i heard somewhere in mid of feb there will be defender sale again???

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.

Gold all the way in my tier x.

HAHAHAH nice!! 

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.
