But is it rly worth paying for that tank or not? Cause review seems to show its not like super good. Not to mention there are another set of mission only review after this set of mission, potentially mean next week's mission lead up to the 9th is gonna be even more trollish.

it is okayish premium tank. WG will not make free coupon premium tanks to be as good as full retail premium tanks. Just like t25 pilot 1. free prem tank redeem with coupon, ok lah performance. average.

Well, it is definitely worth paying at least RM48- RM64 on tokens (I estimate based on the helpless SU-100Y/Churchill 3 pricing)

<SU-100Y>
1. As everyone's tanking skills improves, it is very hard to use SU-100Y against to experienced players (camo+view range mechanics)

2. Initially I thought my tanking skills is spoiled by better tier8 tanks, but I found out eventually I will be matched against better opponents over time, at my current MM I am getting outspotted/outranged/outgunned more often.

3. Out-spotted/Out-ranged, all these I can accept, but when finally I can get a clean shot on some Tier 8 tanks at Max Draw Distance, my AP shells gets bounced off easily. 196 pen at tier VIII is not sufficient to fight against decent sloped turret/hull (T8), was forced to switch to HE shells to do some minor damage against better Tier 8 opponents.

4. Due to its near-0 camo + 0 armor + turretless design, SU-100Y can only hope to camp at some choke-points and hope for a first strike + retreat, attempting to re-appear back and hope for 2nd shot is suicidal, even KV-2 does a better job on holding the choke points against T8 tanks with HE derp guns. Hiding with a camo net/binocs in open area with a bushes, can only let you score 1 shot (PEN or not is different RNG again)

5. Currently this tank can only be used to bully reckless/careless yolo/new players + some tier7 non-heavy tanks, and it has almost 0 chance against decent opponents with most Tier 7-8 tanks due to range/camo/size/gun depression factors.

6. Preferential MM up to Tier 7 will be a decent buff for this boxtank without touching its stats. (At least dickermax still got good camo + gun depression to snipe afar)

if you check out youtube videos on is6 reviews, they can explain much in details.

yes it has preferential mm, but with the current premium meta, 252u liberte patriot, victoria you wont be penning them much.. its known to have one of the worst penetration values..

as for armor, its pretty much the same like an is3 but is3 is now a retired monster. it wont be so effective.

for instance, if you meet vk1001p with your is6, you wont be penning him at all unless u fire gold AT his lower fp.. even gold wont pen through him if he angles and hides his lfp nicely. he's gonna have a fun time with you instead

was decided to go for Doombarn before the update news came,

After played SKorpion G, Charioteer's gun no longer satisfy me... Conway's 600 damage gun maybe...

What a way from KV-2 => SPG => SU-100-Y => AT15A => FV4202 + SKG now...

I feel AC4 is like an extra premium to have for crew training only...

IS6 have good armor for it's tier, but slow and bad gun (it's IS gun)
but with current prem round meta, your armor not going to save you.

if you at top tier, you can bully those tier 7 and 6 tanks. if you at tier 8 or 9 games, you will have hard time when facing other heavies.
if you want crew trainer, best to get Obj 252U (not sure when going to on sale again, maybe wait for Christmas sale?)

IS-6 use to troll same and lower tier, this days all gun at least 225 pen every easy take that out. If you want the same tank function with insane armor go for defender, same style same tactic. The other one is the chrysler cf, front and side scrape insanely powerful use to rake up block dmg, but if enemy flank you basically become skorpion g, not to mention you will constantly get a lot of @ss who shot you for good luck.

Not so easy one, if you have played is-3 for a while then you would know how to effectively use its armor, otherwise still getting pen like no tmr. The trick most of the time is just expose turret, even if your armor is "thick" ppl at tier 8,9,10 would just spam gold if they can't pen your body. The turret is thick enough against gold spammer.

Today face a lot of funny Alpine tiger players, most likely they buy the tank out right with ticket since they lazy to farm, then just went in w/o knowing where to position, end up getting rekt by my t29 and o-ni while I was doing the mission at night.

Today's mission a bit challenging, but with good average dmg and pen HT its still possible.

I got the first one while playing o-ni and just charge and bully enemy because their side don't have high pen tank.

Second mission complete with t29, enemy o-ni was a little bit challenging, but his team just crumble so I take that opportunity and flank him then put two big holes behind his @ss, since I'm at the top tier my dmg hit the hardest.

Also if you want to rush a line new or old you should do so this week, they have every battle x2 exp, that means you earn x2 exp every match, after your 1st match with x3 exp.

I almost halfway getting tier 8 for both t29 and o-ni just playing a few rounds doing high dmg.

- Currently keep farming Combat XP using SKorpion G & FV4202 non-stop until Open up Conway + Top gun = 396150 XP
- Waiting for 1:45 christmas conversion rate(hopefully)
- 8803 gold - 11318 gold needed to free XP conversion
- Gets Conway Tank + full 3-4 skills crew transfer

Hows the repair cost and silver return on Tier 9 battles? (with or without premium acc)

Tier 9 & 10 will never get any profit even with premium acc.
Tank repair it self already cost 30k + 60k - 100k ammo cost

Conway & FV4004 Stage ll have to play HESH ammo to get full potential. this 2 tank each game will cost u 200k credit. Because I got FV215 (183). 5 games on this tank will burn 1 million credit away


That why WG release Premium tier 8 tank only.....profit game only reach tier 8.
You need used tier 6, 7, 8 to farm credit.

tier 9 depends on tank, if you fry w/o doing anything its about 12k on your tank, each bullet you spend is 1k. Idk about others but when I play my E75 or t-10 I always try to event out, means in game I don't go hero, if get hit hard hide and wait for better opportunity, hit a few shots at least even if I'm loosing, so end up my repair cost in tier 9 game most of the time is maybe 5 - 6k credit lost, w/o premium. I think with premium acc if you can hit a few shots maybe earn like a few k or don't loose any money. The only time I loose money is when a suicide LT charge to spot and I got shell down by 3 arty.

I still get a few thousand earnings in the majority of my game in tier 9.

Well, I didn't check properly and won't be completing the APAC missions after all. This is because of a set of missions that requires platooning. bangwall.gif
It's too tiring to complete it in 12 days but it wasn't a waste of time either because of the stage rewards.

Did some personal missions:

And made some progress on the Alpine Tiger missions.

Week 2 mission came out ~

Most likely I will need to spent RM65 to buy 5 tokens....

Day 8 misson done.... although FV4202 damage is pretty below average... but it does a good job on completing more missions than my Skorpion G....

Current token counts: 11/20

So far those I can complete within time frame: 3-4 tokens left.

Estimated RM to pay for Alpine tiger tokens => RM77 approx. (good deal?)
