Oh well, it was worth the risk. 0 risk and all that reward, I had to. It just means I have to play my Type more than I thought I was going to have to.
I got about 3 mil's worth just in case wargaming decided to screw EU and NA over. Don't want to lose the ability to buy upgrades just because of a failed investment. :|
edit: they changed the HE price. Zero sum most likely.

Oh well its a shame they put an end to the shell credit exploit. I had 45k shells invested, and that extra 2M would have been nice. It won't really make a difference overall for me. Its a good thing this came after a 50% discount on shells, or else I (and probably most of the server) would have had a hell of a lot more credits tied up in 83mm HE shells.
It looks like they're having another one of thier high xp contests for the new british TDs and crap. I know I would love to have that tier 10 british TD, but I dont know if I can stomach driving all those really slow behemoths prior to it. Plus I don't even play tier 10s that much anymore to make it worth getting. Worst case, I do get it, and then they neft it into oblivion the next day.
Apparently one of my clanmates threw down $300 in cash to by gold and used that to buy these shells. He has just about lost his mind.
its ok, arty's balanced. :awe: So will the tier 10 brit TDs with hesh rounds that can't bounce. :awe:
This game's just getting simpler and simpler by the day. Going to stay away from tier 10 for good once those TDs go live and just troll with m4 derp and t21.
Just wait till they get brit arty that shoots HESH. Insta-gibbed on hit, close miss still 600 damage. Those HESH rounds on the 183 are so OP I almost want to use my gold reserves to convert xp to get it on patch day.
Could be worth the laugh factor until it gets nerfed. If it never gets nerfed then definately worth it.

It got "nerfed". Costs 20 gold per round now! Wargaming sure knows how to balance stuff, yessirree.
Bet m4 heat round goes up in price too and has nothing done about the actual OPness of the round. Too hard to "fix" actual problems, lets just "remodel" tanks a bit more, readjust prices and change dispersion!
8,000? Seems reasonable considering the damage they do. I'm going to guess though that most of the people that play it wont really be worried about costs. They'll be premium players that have the ability to farm lots of creds. There are people in this game that have tens of millions of creds in their bank.
Time to see if my butthole needs to be 183mm bigger.
