[*]Get doubled amount of credits from PzKpfw V Panther, PzKpfw VI Tiger, PzKpfw IV, M36 Slugger, M4 Sherman, M4A3E8!

My high with the E8 is 80k credits, wonder if I can break 100k with it this weekend.

Looks like I will be out of credits again if all equipment is at half off.

Oh sweet! I didn't catch the 1/2 price equipment deal. Perfect, I need another set of optics and binocs for my new VK2801. Can't sell the Leopard, dammit!

My name ingame is Armor. I should be playing this weekend if anyone wants to platoon up.

Eh? It would be, if it's their usual 1/2 off equipment sale. Binoculars, Camo nets, Gun Laying Drives, Vertical Stabs, etc.

Are you thinking modules, like radios and turrets, perhaps?

Yeah it is 1/2 off all equipment for all tanks.

I picked up a Tiger again and since it is elite and now full equipment I am making almost as much credits as my Type 59.

Pretty good money flow switching between them.

why? still easy to kill and penetrate. It's a slightly hardier t-44.
Well...because I'm always in a tank that is inferior to the Type 59. Since the patch, the number of tier 8-9 mediums in a given battle is probably 300% of what it was before the patch (mostly Type 59's), and they are pretty effective. I've been in battles with up to five Type 59's on one team and it's not surprising to see at least one or two on either team.

my thoughts are that you'll have a tough time with a similar team of panther IIs, pershings or t-44s in general. Wolfpacks are hard to deal with normally, but they get picked apart easily by a team.

Most heavy tank items are around 700-800k. I don't think the discounted price is 500k, that looks like a normal price for binocs, etc.

most heavy modules are 500k and will be 250k this weekend, vert stab and vents are 600k, so those will be 300k

some others like camo and lower tank mods will be only 50k-150k since they're normally much cheaper

People had the same issue with the Lowe when it first came out and yet people now know how to deal with them now. It has its weak spots like all tanks do. Its greatest strength is its speed although its not the fastest medium out there nor is it the hardest hitting. Treat it like any other fast medium. Track it and then hit it in its weak spots. Shoot it in either the front sprocket or rear sprocket to stop it then blast its ass or if facing it hit it in its left (your right) body hatch or at its top hatch where the machine gun is. The rear of the turret is weak as well. If your gun is a fast loader keep hitting the sprocket every other shot to keep it disabled. Ganging up on it is very effective too. Use team work if you can't do it alone. Keep it tracked while your buddies, especially arty, are pounding it.

Just a tip to those who are new or may not bother doing so but read the official forums now and again about the various tanks. Lots of good tips posted on how best to play a tank as well as kill it. They even have mods that shows the tanks in game and their weak spots making it easy to aim for some nasty damage. Some consider that lame but you don't have to tell anyone you use it.

that's pretty much it. I never understood why people were so afraid of mediums. Sure they're agile, and sure I've been caught a few times in tank destroyers (can't turn!!) but if you anticipate their moves and incoming locations they're just a squishy target.

If you're bad at math and didn't notice, 3 days of premium is the same price/day as the monthly rate (weekend special). If you have less than 2500 gold, you can load up on as many 3 day chunks as you want for 250g each.

I'm about 30k away from the E-75 now. Slowly grinding along. Having fun doing it though. The Tiger 2 is a good tank and performs pretty good against other tanks.
