Most of them are from last week, the first one is block 2k dmg, that one you are at the mercy of ignorant players, cause a lot of them if they can't pen you they stop shooting at you, some knew you are doing the mission so they just spend HE shells instead.

2nd one would be the rank top 3 but have to kill 2 tank at least challenge two times. That one the tricky part is having that requirement of killing 2 enemy tank, while also among the top 3 base on exp .... cause its very delicate to balance, you can kill 5 tank and still not in the top 3 of your team, or you could do a ton of dmg and be no.1 in exp but didn't manage to kill 2 tank at least. Your team will be very eager to pick up the kills as well because everyone want to get the mission done.

I was lucky cause I had 2 games where I was tramping over all the enemy with my t29 and o-ni, basically carrying the game tanking in front lines and take all the hits surviving while killing in experience frontliners to be able to get those 2 tokens. If you are sniping you will have to wait for the last shot, or be lucky enough to 1 shot. Cause a lot of your teammate will be very aggressive in taking them down asap.

Today's mission a lot of spotters will charge to the front to spot, so most likely at the very beginning cheap light tanks from tier 4 will always at least get 4 spotted before the battle begin. And all they need is to not die and win the game.

I got it on my 2nd try with the amx, well the problem isn't that much about staying alive, if you have play quite a lot and know how to hide in areas its not hard to spot, the problem comes because this mission require you to spot first hide later, so a lot of noobs charge spot then die. That means you need a fast tank to go to the front line, spot first, and stay alive + win the game (loosing but alive is even harder). Usually means if you are the fastest high chance can finish this mission, cause opposite side also a bunch of noobs gonna charge to the front line to get the spotting done. The first to spot always or most of the time get to spot all enemy at one go, after that is just running around and help.

Also since first spot can only happen once that means after you don't see them on map and they pop up again spotting don't count.

I ran around did some pod shots on enemy up the hill and save a few of our tank from dying early, then enemy just slowly crumble.

Also if you spot then just hide behind the line and hope team win is going to be hard, cause mm usually match you with worst players, and if their number drop a lot is going to give up, which is why its important to boost your team's moral by trying to support them. Once they see enemy line got low hp they are more motivated and bold.



Have to admit that this isn't exactly easy for not so experienced players though, cause you are taunting around with a real paper tank. Hm, in that case I think 5 token is worth paying I suppose.

Lol .... that's not spotting, that green symbol is dmg assistance. Means you help your ally keep enemy light up on map and dmg your team do you receive experience.

Spotting is the one with the binocular symbol. You need to be the first to "discover" enemy position to earn 1 spotting symbol, and only once per tank.

If you like derpy guns you should farm the japanese heavy line, they got fairly tough front armor and most of the time you go in front can bully kids ........

today's mission should be very easy for anyone with skorpion G ...... finish in my 1st match.

no exp in both tanks, can't recommend, btw t92 is like the amx elc style sort of tank, if you like fast and agile tank its one of the hardest to hit tank for premium (t92) so you can zoom around the battle field and spot. Price is fairly cheap for brand new tank, but you will be facing a lot of tier 9 and tier 10. Also because you are so light its very easy to flip your tank, like any bump will send you flipping.

Today mission done

1st win


2nd win


A lot of people try hard to be top in exp today, so winning is easy, the only thing left is out do all your teammate, since dmg always get a lot of exp I switch derp on o-ni, high chance to be top cause I just spam HE on against all the high tier and stay alive.

The reward

for japanese tank its one of the most famous "school bully" tanks in the game, for tier 7,9,10. the other tank is the maus series, 8,9,10. but in terms of grainding and enjoyment the japanese line is better because the german line you need to go trough vk30 (p) and tiger (p). Which this days in up to date match you will get slap around like a rag doll in those tanks.

Right now I am in a dilemma as I have just finish grainding enough for either a jpanter 2 or a ferdinand and I'm not sure which one suits my style more.

Well you will be surprise to know that japanese heavy aren't that slow, unless you only have the stock engine, if you manage to graind trough the engine while you are on the O-I exp (tier 5) tank then the rest of the three you don't have speed issue, at least for huge tank standard. that is if you are into heavy tank that hits hard and are heavily armored.

I think I have decided to pick jpanter 2 instead, fast, agile, trollish hull down situations. I borrow a friend account to test out both and I feel that ferdinand is a bit more of a mid brawler, and with so many people this days spamming gold if you are seen on a TD its pretty much dead if you can't move away from that spot. Rotating is also slow even though it has a wider angle. where else on the jpanter 2 the rotation is like a decent turret speed even though your arc is pretty limited, the speed is amazing and I find that actually more players are not aware of jpanter 2's slope armor as I constantly gets hit and bounce on the top part of my tank and quite a lot of bounce off gold success, even though its best to avoid getting shot at. I might graind out the ferdi with my jpanter as well but in terms of progression I feel that jpanter 2 is more fun then ferdi, most likely because jpanter 2 was fast and I'm pretty decent at jpanter style at this point.

yea I rake up 500k in about 15 match or so with another teammate, this tank is aggressively scary as you can bait shots and easily rake in 2k above block dmg, return fire on average can hit 1k ...... I recommend the rammer and maybe stabilizer ..... the third one depends on your play style, if you are always on the front line coated optics give you a better 1st spot advantage. Since now all equipment is on discount if you have tight credit budget get the rammer first, most important, shoot 10% faster.

Crew go all on repair, a station tiger is a dead tiger, after all crew 100% repair my 2nd recommendation is brothers in arms, better performance more efficient. after BiA maybe then only get 6 sense and other perk for different crew like snap shot, less terrian resistance, safe stoage etc ..... those are last in my experience since you will always be fighting in close quarters anything that require you to camp or hide or stationary to be effective will not help you jump on enemy much.

in terms of female crew I don't think that's a good idea, once recruited it will only usable to that nation and will not be able to go any other nation. Stick with their crew, they are already 100% by default.

In terms of how you play the tiger in my opinion you have the highest chance to influence the winning or loosing of the battle, even if its just two tiger ...... me and the other teammate constantly go to place that is popular for light tank and medium tank, since your tiger got the speed its easy to reach those point and meet the lights / mt head on, many will panic because their gun even on tier 9 can't pen you easy, only a few tanks could rely on their gun. Catch them off guard and the whole enemy team will loose, because when the light tank and medium is distracted no one is going to spot, then spg and TD will get distracted, leaving HT alone to fend for themselves.

If you meet another tiger and you don't want to waste money try use HE shells to track them, then rush to the side or rear and pump some shots. The front and even the bottom of the tank is only a 50% chance pen most of the time.

So far I think this is the best gift WoT had given, at least reachable missions for average joe veteran.

This tank you need to know where to go base on early judgement, at the start of the match, if your side got other tanky or deadly tank, try to assist them, bait enemy high tier to fire at you will help securing a HT battle win, if they don't aim at you, go a little bit aggressive and force them. If you have HT team with thick armor use them as cover. If you look at the list and there is not much TD or high pen MT go for those instead, most of the time when you are in the frontline do a short push forward then reverse like dancing, 3 short step front 1 back step to original position make enemy very hard to shoot at your lower plate. the 175 pen is not good against enemy face to face, its always used to flank shots to the side and back. I would say this is kind of a recon tank, its strength is to bully weaker tank and bait shots from top tier tank.

It would be a mistake to lead the frontline with this tank unless you are very skill at angling your frontal position to bounce shot.

yes, this tank earn more credit then other premium, confirm by dying and doing nothing on both skoripon G and this tank.

True, this type of tank is what they call a magic bullet tank, it takes some used to to master bouncing shells, much like is-3 and is-7 .... many people say its bouncy, but what makes it bouncy isn't the armor, its the turret and angling at some point, when enemy shoot if your pike aren't directly against the direction high chance it will go trough, a slight change in direction can bounce even 311 pen.

The way to earn good credits with this tiger is to catch enemy off guard and pump as many shells into their side and back as you can, the alpha dmg is very good and if you can land few shots you will be already earning few match worth of credits. In very very rare situation you would ever spend HEAT unless you absolutely have to ....... something like maybe last tank vs last tank and enemy tank has thick armor, or taking out super important tanky tank to be able to crush their weak support.

I would say see this as a perspective of training close combat, its a good tank to train on with close encounters. From time to time you will face players that is seemingly invincible with this sort of tank, which means they have a lot of experience in driving this type of tank, you will need to be able to get into their mind set on how the tank works in order to work out a way to deal with them. Simply having high pen gun aren't going to dispatch them at all unless he is surrounded.

I'm speaking base on the perspective of having played those tank and bounce skorpion g's bullets even against 311 bullets. And also deal with this type of enemy as a skorpion g. Once you get the hang of it you will immediately know if enemy is experience or a freshmen.

I remember there is a very pro player on this type of tank once told me that even though your pike can bounce bullet if you can try not to show them at all, expert player would only present the turret to enemy and only show body when there is no dig down option. But that being said its much harder to do that in reality.

As a general rule stay far behind the line with british TD, if you are anywhere close to mid or the frontline any HE shell can 1 shot you, even if they don't any dmg to your gun or turret you are as good as dead. Also, if you have not collect the free female crew the give you better collect now, once they roll the new patch your female crew will be gone forever if you didn't collect it.

Put her in that nation you most played with, and maybe save her for future t9/t10 on that line.

the female crew put in premium is the best if you have not decide which tank they are going, but remember it must be the premium tank that support that nation you wanted to play, if you put them in chinese premium they can only relocate within chinese line ........ so if you want them to be future ready for other nation tank don't put them in those country that isn't in the same line country as your grainding tank.

After patch rolling out they are going to wipe all unclaim female crew from your gift box, I'm pretty certain the news is true because it came from reputable WoT gaming channel. So to be safe claim first, if not you will be submitting ticket to auto bots hopping to get them reply by wot later.

Sweedish TD you will have to hit tier 6 before it starts to few good, tier 5 and below especially tier 5 (ikv 103) is one of the worst tank in many situation. It plays nothing like tier 6 and above, troll gun and dreadful to just try to graind. Save up to skip that garbage, then tier 6 would be much more enjoyable. I'm not sure that you would want to buy that tier 8 premium sweedish tank or not, cause if you do the tier 8,9,10 TD won't be as enjoyable anymore cause you already explored similar style and gameplay. But no doubt they are one of the most accurate snipers out there.

as for female on alpine I think maybe not, cause her BiA is given when collect, if you want a different perk you will have to reset, that reset will eat like 20% off and you have to train her back up to 100% ..... unless you are grainding the chinese tank. .... as for just making her to graind premium only it feel like a little waste, german and russian had the most tank that sometimes require extra, and maybe some from amarican and british too, I would suggest you put your gifted character into a nation that you would most likely spend time to graind out.

LT depends on what you enjoy most, the basic is to try luchs from german tier 4 and AMX elc from french tier 5 ..... both are pretty popular speed and small tank. The difference is a lot of the light tank are pretty much playing a scout role, but the french one introduce auto loader, pretty deadly if you are very good at hiding and pinching enemy.

Female crew from mission can take your own sweet time, they won't disappear ...... the only one that will disappear is the one on your gift box that every time you log in they congradulate you that one.

Your total already 3007 in combination of those, you must have took some dmg amount to 1k or above ...... so total past 4k which is why you got the mission done, but you didn't do enough to get the 2nd condition done though.

yea udes is a good choice ..... that line is one of a kind because you can switch in two mode, fast and accurate.

Also start pushing to unlock and save lots of credit because big event coming up and all tank gets % credit discount. Save any special consumption timer until event start and spam use them, they will help boost you to push even faster during event.

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.

Warning, to all who play in asia server, please note that the lootbox you buy from shop will not have deco, due to some (idk what agreement) that do not allow deco items to be included in the box. So if you think that you will get deco stuff easy by buying box be warn cause there will be no deco in any amount of box you buy.

Sadly only happens for asia server, so anyone who did not notice or going to buy please be aware.

Here is how the even deco break down, on your main interface, right below mission and bonus. Mission show what you can do to earn box, bonus besides showing you what level of decoration you have achieve also show you currently get how many %exp , credit and crew bonus. The higher your decoration level the higher the bonus.

Once you click on the bonus tab a new screen will appear, the top left will show you the list of rewards you currently have achieve, top right is the progression bar.

on your left is a tab of all the other decorative sector you will also have to decorate in order to progress (they are very little compare to the main interface)

In the middle is your decoration, those black screen box are specific items you have to collect to decorate, each box will drop random item, and when it drops on that specific decoration there will be a light orange count on the box indicating new decoration on that slot.

there are 4 parts on chrismas tree, the top (only 1) ... the hanging items (4 item), the drape (2 item stretching light bulbs) and the present (2 item at the bottom). Other parts on the tab on your left share the same item list, snowman (1 item) , house (2 item) , post and yard (1 item).

each part is different from others, so you can't just simply put them in different parts, but early on its easy to fill them up cause mission give you a lot of low lvl decoration that you can put them on. There are 5 tiers of decoration for each part, all indicate on the top left icon on your item, tier 1,2,3,4,5 ..... as you keep decorating your items you want to put the highest possible tier you have for that slot in order to progress to the next level. (Decorating all tier 5 is your goal in this case) .... once you hit all tier 5 you will get the maximum reward.

below your decoration tree there is a craft button, that is use to further help you in achieving all tier 5 items. on the craft right there is diamond, which is the currency you get crushing unwanted items and its used to craft higher level items.

Once you click the craft button it will bring you to the large holidron decorider top of the item is random for 4 different country decoration (explain a little later right now should focus on what you need first). Below that is a dice and 5 radio numbers, then on the right of that is a dice with all the specific decoration items. On your right there is a get shards and craft button, the top is shards number. Here is the break down

Clicking get shards brings you to a page where all your extra unused decoration item is, in this page before you break them all down to shards, make sure all your decoration is the highest and the remaining ones are the ones you already have better deco or not wanted before you crush all into shards. the button to crush shards is right on the lower right within the collection call "break decoration"

Once you crush the shards head back out by clicking "to decorider" button just right of the "break decoration" button. You can craft specific level decoration item for those that you are missing, the numbers represent the tier items, the higher you try to craft the more shards it needs, for beginners especially when you have all just low level item I suggest only tune up to tier 5 and let the machine craft you random country random decoration (random means leaving the adjuster on dice) once you filled a few tier 5 items and it becomes risky to get duplicate you would then adjust the tier AND the decoration you want, that cost quite a lot of shards but it will gurrentie you the slot and maximum tier 5 in order to progress.

Once you hit every decoration item to tier 5 you will get the maximum reward, which is a 30% tier 10 discount and some other goodies.

So what's next you ask, if there is time to farm more box you should do so to clear the weekly event as much as you can until jan 22. Reason why is because there is also a collection sector (on your chrismas tree page to the right there is a collection button), click on the collection and you will see how much stuff you are missing to collect everything (collected item can be crushed because it will be recorded as collected) The aim is to select the country you try to get special paint job for (I suggest you just collect for the country you least had to collect because specific item craft is even more expensive then just crafting a random country) If you manage to collect 1 of the tree you will get a unique paint to paint on the country it represents. You can technically collect all, but with all the shi*t that is happening to asia server I wouldn't bet on that.

How to go about everything (base on my own experience, someone might have better suggestion)

- I start by just putting anything high enough on each slot, crush any extra that is equal or lower.
- I craft random tier 5 (480 shards each) to fill my decoration slowly
-Once my decoration (in total) is about 60% filled (if your general tree is almost 60% tier 5) I start to craft specific decoration, I could risk rng for cheaper chance to get specific deco (but it always doesn't work out cause WG sure screw with the rng to give you duplicate that you already have on that slot) so I minimize the risk by also crafting specific decoration (the price goes up to 960 per craft)
-My goal is to reach tier 10 reward before the middle of the event hit, so that what is left next is just bonus paint job that is not really that important (just cosmatics)
-After that anything I craft would focus on the country I have the most item unlocked, and just getting 1 would be happy enough for me.

The reason why I do what I did is because of the box they are selling on their event page for asia, due to some regulation about the kapcha something (I think its the japanese declaration law that prohibit company to sell earn items on loot box or something) ALL the box you buy for asia server does not come with any decoration, unlike US and EU, the ones they buy every box comes with 1 gurrentie random tier 5 deco and gold. So that means in order for us to get to tier 10 its already taxing after we are done, the chance of collecting for all the cosmatics items across 4 event country is most likely impossible. Also because of this leaving all your craft to rng is high risk because we only have limited amount of box we could farm and if you ran out of luck before you could reach tier 10 it would be even more sad. Hence I believe the best way is to rely less on rng to reach tier 10 first, then do whatever you want after.

As for the tiers reward, each tier you unlock 1 level discount and items (some of them are female crew), when you click on the tank reward on the list it will pop up all the eligible tank (tier) for discount, you can leave it blank but you have to make a choice before next year 1st of march, because if you don't claim by then it will remove them. Once you claim a tank for that discount, it will stay on that discounted level until you have successfully claim it, which means for 1 year the price will stay at the discount price until you have bought it. I think the female crew also the same thing but I"m not sure.

So like me, I wanted to try british TD line, so I claim for their tier 2,3,4,5 up to tier 6 tank for discount, from tier 2 to tier 5 its stated 100% discount, that means besides experience to unlock I can get the tank for free (if I only include 50% crew) or I just need to pay for the 75% crew for each tank up till tier 5, then I get 80% discount of tier 6. then tier 7 I give to other tank, so does 8,9,10. Basically you can mix and match what tank at what tier you want discount for, but make sure you can unlock them within a year (don't give maus a tier 10 discount but have not even farm up to tier 8 yet, if you are a casual it will take forever to get a tier 10 if you are not focus on 1 tree).

Alternatively you can give all the discounts to 1 line of tree, like lets say you want a maus, you started from tier 2 all the way up to tier 10 focus just playing on that tree, is short of like a credit short cut for beginners to get a cheap tier 10 tank within a year. But remember, each tier you can only give 1 tank, 1 discount, once. So choose wisely.

Forgive me if there is any spelling or grandma mistake, I'm too lazy to check back the entire wall of words. Any further question can post them here.

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.
