Oh ok ok. Humm. Big gun at tier 8 is Russian td, isu 152. Rhm bwt also is good. Both line worth the grind imo. German line for sniping, Russian for brawl? Nah I oso dono but rusia td can snipe too at the back despite the horrible dispersion value. Stalin guide my shell lol.

Oh hey, y not consider usa td line? tier IX T30 and tier X T110E4 is awesome. Plus u gonna love T67 too at tier V (seal clubbin tank this one). Gun at tier 8 somehow is lackluster, low alpha but high RoF. Murica td line will shine at tier IX, T30 love the gun depression.

About switching from Arty to TD, my plan is to capitalize my current BIA'ed Russian crews and grinding on a Premium Tank until I can get the discount from STRV-S1

or

Further grind until I can get Charioteer/Conway by skipping tanks.

thus

a cheaper starting premium tier6-8 Russian/UK TD will be ideal for me to get a grasp on how to improve & able to handle STRV-S1/higher tier TDs...

anyone been getting bad latency after the split of the server to Sg and AU? both my latency to sg is 300 ms and au is 420 ms - might as well i play on the NA server since that the latency i get on my NA account to chicago

I would recommand T67 line too, but I skip that because air seems to be interested towards picking up a turretless TD, Otherwise I would have strongly suggest he get Skorpion G instead of STRV ....

Nope, My SG server is now at 20ping, lower then last time when it was 35 ping. AU server is sadly 420 ping though .... but good for my aussie clans mote who is jizzing about how it is like to play in such a low and smooth ping.

It's not about the best tanks but how many retards in your team that counts.

After 4 days of grinding using SU-100Y & SU-14-2:

SU100Y:

- Impossible to outrange most TDs/espeically hellcat due to non-existent camo rating
- Its role better fit into "Defending the rear/side flank", than "following up offensive support"
- Again due to maximum render distance, Signal Boosting is only helps tremendously when some annoying LT/MT sneak into Ally flank zone.
- Similar as KV-2, this boxtank need a decent sized cover hide after firing the shot, effectively become medium range peekaboo, while KV-2 is close range peekaboo version
- Due to its shock & awe damage huge gun + massive hitbox, this tank is enemy’s main focus target once spotted, thus it is not suitable to support frontline in first few minutes, its “area denial” role works great when defending a flank with a LT/MT scout.
- Despite its excellent damage + penentration, it is only applicable to tier 5-7 tanks(except 0-1, O-Ni), you will see a lot of bouncing hits on tier-8 heavy tanks, its role is to hit tier8 sides effectively rather than hit them from front.
- It’s a great starting Premium TD to get to learn how to position a turret-less TD with almost 0 camo. (RM48 quite worth under discount), some might feel 0 camo is very disadvantageous, but this trains you better on positioning and relocating sense much better.

SU-14-2:
- Much better handling on 203mm cannon which is inefficient/ineffective on S-51 (35 secs VS 44 sec cool down, full equipped with Vents + BIA + Rammer)
- Better bombarding experience than 212A due to MM (not yet try 212A but feedback from friend)
- consistently dish out 400-600 damage on tier X heavy tanks.
- Its ugly schoolbus design can be offset by lots better 203mm-gun-handling experience

I'm a total noob who is starting a new account. Would anyone like to add a noob so we can earn some bonuses together through the referral programme?

Would love to be tutored as well. If you are keen on referring me, please PM me.

Oh, I play Russian tanks.

Welcome to WoT, I also just started 1month++ ago, played Russian Su-18, KV-2, S-51, SU-14-2, and currently SU100Y

Whats your preferred role and playstyle?

Another free tank mission for the British Light MkVIC.
The same tank offered during the I love Tankfest mission in June but this time with an emblem to go with it.



Mission: We Salute You
Event Start: 10 November, 2017 (Friday) @ 14:00 UTC+8 (06:00 UTC)

Description:

Conditions:
Use any tank from Tier I onwards.
Available once per account.

1 x Light Mk. VIC or 300,000 credits if the tank is already owned.

Wa, 125k exp a lot leh ......

When you stack enough multiplier...

The exp is nice, but you work so hard earn so little even with premium. If it was a t8 premium it could have been 3 times that amount without premium time.

So far done 60k XP / 125k XP.. not that hard since the event gave us so many personal reserves...

Today, I'll be posting WoT Best Replays of the Week International. Starting from #70 onwards.

I'm aiming to get an AC4 Experimental. Got 1 token and another 99 to go....

is it just me or the missions getting tougher and tougher

If you are referring to the AC4 Experimental prize and APAC Battle:
Yes, its tougher because its a Tier VI premium tank giveaway not the usual Tier II or III. The ultimate prize is one of 50 Tier VIII WZ-111 Alpine Tiger.
The winning team also gets a Tier III premium Großtraktor - Krupp. For players with at least 80 completed missions at 20 per week.

Yes indeed the mission for APAC 90x TOP 3 damage caused is super tough:

1. Tried using my FV4202, SU-100Y, KV-2 & SU-14-2 grinding non-stop on TOP 3 damage mission, no hope for MT & TD

2. Surprisingly I no need to outperform the others, just other players performed worse than me?? (lower tier match seems easier)
