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?)
*
Its certainly worth getting it because the tank is tough and I think it doesn't meet tier 10 (not sure they change the privilege or not). but its best if you only have to pay RM40 for it(3 token) .... RM77 is like giving you a 60% discount only. At least in my perspective for those who just join the game not long, a lot of mission you can do with kiddish tank (tier 4 minimum) .... grainding to tier 4 not too hard, only like 5 mission not easy to finish. And since there is 22 mission in total and you only need 20 token for the tiger that means 3 token is the one that is challenging new players to finish w/o paying.

Skipped 3 tokens for AFA SG 2017...

My luck in mm is not good enough to say that only 3 tokens is challenging to new players... So many trolls in tier 8 MM...

My FV4202 is performing much better than SK-G in tier 9 & 10 battles though...

SK-G APCR shells cant do much at bottom tier... 70% hiding 30% flanking/side penning...

Day 10: Spot 4 vehicle + Top 10 rank by EXP + survived/win => tailor-made for LT/some MTs flanking, I might be able to pull this off with my FV4202

Day 11: Rank top 3 by damage => Its possible with SKG but I wont hope so much

Day 13: Rank 1st in EXP => Not possible for me unless extremely lucky...


Which 3 tokens u think its challenging for non-paying new players?

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.

1st one 2k damage blocked, sold my AT-15A weeks ago before the mission starts, so I was like facepalm

2nd one killing 2 tanks easy, killing 2 tanks + rank top 3 still obtainable, BUT killing 2 tanks + rank top 3 + WIN, its pretty hard when all the trolling happens around tier 8 battles.

Day 10 missions is not to win the game after spotting, but surviving even though lose the battle, the hard part is all 3 condition added together...

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. laugh.gif

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.

Re-spotting consider as legit spotting though... u must lost sight of the tank and then re-light them up with your own tank:

Very near... but... ORZ ORZ ORZ

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.

I am ok with Nameless/Edelweiss/other anime design, but really dislike Japanese tank design(any infantry crews/mechanized division), due to some unexplained sentiments "you know why"

This is why I kinda dig into UK/Soviets TD design~

A new premium light tank introduced in all 4 servers. I'll skip this one for now. No more 30% discounts for this year's Tier VIII premium advent calendar event? I hope not. Will update post for any interesting and new offers.

Very tempted to buy T92 cause terrain resistance and dispersion... but then I don like the design...

Should I play Charioteer and skip Conway or;
Should I play skip Charioteer and play Conway...

my FV4202 did it again... within 2 hours can destroy more than 45 vehicles... guess time constraint can unleash player's capability...

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

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.

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.

Ever since I "drove" the Churchill 3 & AT15a, any vehicle which moving 20 kph is an instant NO-NO to me~ (Japanese heavies is really SLOW)

About the german TD choice, Ferdinand is obvious better choice on papers, better than JPanther 2 as in:

- Armor thickness & distribution & 350 more HP
- view range
- Camo value

While worse in:

- Vehicle hull control & top speed
- terrain/traverse resistance

If I play turretless TD, there are a few things I would like to consider:

1. Gun arc
2. Frontal plating distribution
3. Total HP
4. View range
5. Innate Camo value

Reloacting speed will be my least concern as I always find nearest large cover if I am spotted.

Daily offers at 3rd Dec 2017:
