Finished HT15 for T55A. First tried doing it in E100/IS7 by blocking tons of damage. Wasn't working so I just decided to do the damage myself...


Very nice Venom. I find the IS 7 gets more blocks in Clan Wars than in Pub's. Maybe it just seems that way to me.

Dreams of matches like that are often but i'm just not that good nor will i ever will be. Still having fun, mostly! Many times i know what to do but i'm just too slow or just don't have that fine control of vehicles that others have. Playing a youngman's game at 50 years old is where i'm messing up to start with. The reflexes are what they used to be. lol

Could this be the end of me in WoT? 30k battles and I am finally bored of this game. I now only play a couple of games when I actually load it up beyond getting the daily mission. Derp around in the KV-2 or E100 or something, do decent, be bored and logoff.

Even platooned I don't have the same enjoyment.

At almost 40K matches, i know where you are coming from Possessed. The money grind has gotten me down. Gone are the days with 8 to 12 mil in bank. I just seems much harder to grind money to me that it used to be. I know the tanks i'm buying are more expensive being higher tier tanks but it still takes too long to get the money. Five tier 7 to 9 tanks i could buy right now to grind but not enough money.

i speak for myself, but having 25 millions credits, i never found it hard or bothersome to have enough to buy anything, i got 15 tier X which i rarely play. A couple of tier 9 and 8 and so on i keep because i like to play them. Like the t-29 or the tiger 1, those are money machines.

i got like 25,000 battles. i enjoy the game less and less, but mostly because they never addressed the arty, unbalanced auto-loaders, and super high alpha tds. Apart from that, it would be an awesome game imho.

I only have about 5700 battles and got annoyed\bored with this game almost 2 years ago. I will pick it up every few months and be reminded why it ceased to be fun long ago. Right now only logging in to get those bonuses.

This (and super high alpha tds) is my main problem with my Lowe and to some degree the T 34 in tier 10 matches. In the Lowe you do 250 to 300 damage, T 34 maybe up to 400 damage and these TD's pop you for 800 to 1000 and their reload is only 3 or 4 seconds longer than mine.

I only have 1600 matches played...dunno how some of you made it to 40k+ matches without going bananas.

I was in a t2 fight in a something or other, and out team got wtf owned by ONE guy. I looked at his record...almost 7k fights in 2 t2 tanks...that takes quite a level of insanity to do.

And what is it with people that have 9k+ fights and still whine about bad teams in chat?

Had a great match in the starter jap tank. Ended up with 5 kills, 4 assist, bunch of medals and couple thousand xp points. Was a little disappointed I only came away with a #1 badge instead of an ace.

Haven been playing in the low ranked tanks lately since they started to log on bonus stuff. Have a nice bank roll going now. But it seems the autocannons in the low tier machines are a bit in the OP category.

Nothing today makes any sense. Noticed that my average chance to win was between 50-70%. I only had one game that was below 47%. Played 30 games and came out on the losing end. All of those 60-75% chance games were losses. All those green players on the team, yeh, they died in the first 2 minutes every time. Came out on top in most games but died due to the overwhelming number of enemy tanks alive.

I have never experienced crap like this in my life. That is the most amount of games I have ever played where my chance to win was that high. And what happens in the end? We lose them all. Frustrating, my win rate has taken a massive dive today. I feel like uninstalling the game.

Seriously, turn off the percentage chance to win. It isn't very accurate and just makes the game frustrating. Keeping individual WN8 ratings on can still be useful, but the overall chance to win isn't.

This x4 Crew XP is nice.

On Track FV4202 + Operation Plunder, only way to get it.
I've noticed though, it's based on Base XP, not premium account XP.

Though everything I've read, says premium XP helps. I did a single game calculation against a 99% crew mate who needed 7k'ish and got about 5k in crew XP in one game. Using premium account, would have over shot. :/

haha i do well during weekdays but once weekends come around my w/r drops like a mofo.
i've noticed the trend since the last patch, if you have a higher win % chance, you lose more often than win.

My goal was to finish all the TD and the rest of the MT missions this weekend for the T55A. Took a whole day to do MT15 with honors. Finished it twice and got RNG killed by arty/ISU so I didn't survive = no honors, third time I hid behind a building like a pussy after killing E4/WT100.

HT15 pretty easy (took less than 10 matches)
TD15 easy (took less than 5 matches)
MT15 frustrating when 9 out of 10 matches with <=1 higher tier TDs
LT15 frustrating when 149 out of 150 matches are on shit maps for scouting (IE not Mali or Prok). Then first match on Prok, even vs a purple platoon of enemy scouts, I got 8.5k spotted.

Played a few matches in the T55A and it's a fun tank. Except one match where a T37 broke my ammo rack two shots in a row. It's a bit expensive to run though with the limited ammo count and needing a good amount of HEAT rounds to pen T10s.

Still love my KV-1 after all these years. Even with all the new tanks that have come along, in a Tier 5 battle, it still blows everything away if you know how to use it. Wish I had thought to make screenshots of the end of battle numbers last night in my daily bonus win for crew exp. I had 7 kills, ~1900 damage 24 shots, 24/22 hits/penetrations. Was hit 14 times, 1 penetration. Solo killed 1 KV-1, and killed 2 more with some help....

I'm on MT14 for the T28 concept and have been increasingly frustrated with it. Already completed HT15 and TD15 (have a few on lights). I platooned running almost exclusively the OBJ 416 over the past few nights. Only been able to have a shot at it in three missions out of over 20. Just keep spawning as top tier. It sucks when you've lost the mission from spawn.

Forget which one MT14 is. Kill 1 higher tier heavy? That was pretty annoying also (have to kill 2 for T55A). I waited around hidden behind some buildings until my heavies engaged theirs and got them down low enough. Then I came from the side and killed them. Actually ended up killing 3 higher tier heavies in that match.
