MA77: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! El Vz. 55, un tanque pesado checoslovaco de nivel X, llegará pronto al Supertest.  La principal característica de este vehículo es la posibilidad de elegir entre dos cañones de 130 mm. Son idénticos en términos de eficiencia, pero diferentes en el modo que infligen daño. Uno de los cañones es convencional y dispara cíclicamente, mientras que el otro tiene un autocargador de dos proyectiles. Ambos utilizan los mismos proyectiles: AP estándar capaz de perforar 260 mm de blindaje y APCR especial que penetra hasta 306 mm. Cada uno ocasiona 490 puntos de daño. Cada cañón tiene una puntería de 0,4 a 100 metros y buena estabilización. Sin embargo, los demás valores difieren según el cañón: el cíclico carga cada 12,5 segundos y apunta en 2,8 segundos, mientras que el autocargador recarga en 25 segundos (la recarga entre cada disparo es de 2,5 segundos) y apunta en 3,1 segundos. Las demás especificaciones son bastante comunes a otros tanques pesados: blindaje frontal que alcanza los 300 mm en la torreta, blindaje inclinado en el chasis, 2100 puntos de vida, 50 km/h de velocidad máxima (con una potencia específica de 15,5 CV/t y alcance de visión de 390 metros. Los cañones del Vz. 55 difieren en sus modos de disparo, lo que les permitirá configurar el vehículo como les resulte más cómodo. El autocargador sin dudas comparte similitudes con los tanques medianos checoslovacos en términos de su velocidad de recarga y buen manejo. Las demás características están a la par de otros tanques pesados, lo que significa que este tanque puede alcanzar los objetivos de esta clase de vehículo: liderar un ataque o defender una posición. Como siempre, recuerden que todos los valores están sujetos a cambios de acuerdo a los resultados de las pruebas. ¡Dejen sus opiniones! ¡Mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

TeriyakiTanker: WoT is a game that I have really enjoyed in my time, everyone can see the game count.  But I’m not sure I would give it a positive review and I know I would never under any circumstances recommend it for a new player.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Check out what the month of May has in store for you on World of Tanks. Shopping bundles including the Type 59, weekend specials and more can be found HERE.

Einzelganger7:
If you have demounting kits you could borrow equipment from your other tanks and simply remove them before the event ends. Or maybe they even get removed and sent to your depot automatically.

Einzelganger7: Two days ago I just bought my second ever tier 10 tank (Leopard 1), so is the first time I play brawl mode and is actually fun! After 12 matches I won 9, they should keep this as a permanent game mode or make it monthly because they are fast paced but feel more fair than the steamrolls from random battles.

Draschel: I think Leopard PTA and Skoda T50 are stronger tanks.Nevertheless even after the nerfs, Standard B remains flexible and dangerousIt has a high skill requirement though. Be very prepared. 

_BobaFett:  I should change mine to _BobFet

Jaguarz:  and in spite of the false premise of "they never nerf premium tanks" it had been nerfed several times, then buffed but still not to what it was. It had rarity going for it and little else these days.

Jambijon: Brawl has now been restored on US East!  

Jaguarz:  Thats a pretty relevant reason to allow the function, there is no technical issue for this being hard let alone impossible.

Jaguarz: I used it on Cyberpunk 77 as my rig is getting long in the tooth and found the service very impressive, way of the future IMO.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys!We're aware that the Brawl mode is showing as unavailable on USE and are working to get that fixed immediately.Also, there have been some rare instances of uneven teams (5vs7 for example) being reported on other servers. We are already working on a micro-patch and will update you as soon as we get more information.

Jaguarz:  Its more likely the 59 sale is to recover some of the sales that tanked (hur hur) after they previewed crew 2.0

Draschel: Alot of people complain that armor sucks and means crap, gold flies through the air here and there, AP is useless. All that stuff.But just take a real deep breath folks, and try to understand things. Work on fundamentals, rather than quick to blame. Here is a clip of an excellent show of force, using just AP. And using the tank's base armor.https://www.youtube....?v=ir5B_NGYCXg      Check out his first 7 minutes.Before ranting, keep in mind 75% of his targets included T110E3, Type 5, 430U. AP can still work. He blocked 10 hits. Does firing all APCR help? Sure it does, no downsides other than cost. But is it necessary in a public battle? Heck no.In CW I get it, a costly bounce from AP compared to APCR can mean a win or loss, but in pubs? Work on position. Position is the great equalizer. Where you show dominion over your enemy, regardless of your skill or your foe's. Where you get your armor to work for you, even if your foe is shooting gold. And position affords you the luxury and/or safety to be able to advantageously/casually even use AP, rather than resorting to gold. And where even if the enemy resorts to gold, you still have the upper hand. And this is why war-gaming is constantly out to counter artillery. HE. That's what these nerfs are truthfully about. Because artillery, HE counter position. And that is bad for game health. When someone has position over you, they are -outplaying- you, by game definition, mechanics, usefulness. You shouldn't have a get out of jail card in your hand. Rather, you need to learn about position and strengths and weaknesses  yourself.    

_BobaFett: "Oops! We couldn't find that page."

Jaguarz:  Pretty sure there was a huge slump in sales after they previewed crew 2.0 on the sandbox and to be honest the Type 59 only has mystique going for it now really, its not the beast it once was so theres little reason to hold it back atm imo.

Einzelganger7: Whenever I get those missions I use tanks with high rate of fire like the StuG III ausf. G, VK 30.02 M or Panther, it is so easy that way.

_BobaFett: I know it's just a meme and all but that is really sad that he passed...

stabbymckill: Good morning Tankers,  Two rare vehicles return to the premium shop: the German Pz.Kpfw.38H 735 (f) and the Chinese Type 59! The last time the Type 59 was on sale was 2012 before it was removed from the premium shop, so don't miss your chance to own either of these extremely rare vehicles. 

Head over to the article here for all the additional details. Happy tanking!

_BobaFett: This doesn't make a whole lot of sense, because WoT Blitz is on Steam and you can use your Wargaming account with it. It just seems like a pointless feature.

Einzelganger7: I am from Spain and it was indeed a surprise to know that and not because of the meme but because he was a popular comedian, just like "Chiquito de la Calzada" who passed away some years ago, I grew watching their monologues during the 90's and early 2000's but is sad to see that Spain is starting to have no bringers of laughs...

Jaguarz: Why would they think a turd like crew 2.0 would possibly do anything other than alienate and reduce the playerbase?

Jaguarz:  It may be a stretch but you could conceivably tie it together with the very likely drop off in revenue occurring following player disgust regarding the crew 2.0 debacle, people wont spend money on a game which has the potential to be reworked into something they dont like.

Jaguarz:  Its basic math, the 38H comes with $80 of gold and 3.5m silver, the Lancen with $15 of gold. You arent "losing out" it all depends on where you want your value.

Jaguarz:  It comes with $80 of gold, $15 of premium time and 3.5 million silver, while I wouldnt buy it myself the value is there.

_BobaFett:  To be fair, they started it.

TeriyakiTanker:
Make of it what you will son, doesn’t make you any less sad.

TeriyakiTanker:
Unfortunately your full support isn’t worth much, but more importantly if you spent half as much time trying instead of whining on the forums you might improve.  But alas you just aren’t bright enough to understand that, so you whine, moan, and make all the excuses in the world why you just can’t get a fair shake.  You are pathetic.

Einzelganger7: Here we go again...

_BobaFett: you'renogoodtomedead

CabMech: I came to post what Kliphie and heavymetal have above.  Frontlines is still being prepared for later this year, more details to come.

_BobaFett: I'll say it again -- You cannot rely on your team to play well so you have to play well for them. It is the definition of carrying.

_BobaFett: Can I haz ur stuff now?

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Please drop any questions you'd like to hear Chief answer during his stream. What questions do you have about the history of Victory Day? Questions about the lead-up to Victory Day? Questions about the aftermath of Victory Day? Questions about the impact of Victory Day on countries around the world? Be aware that answers will not be given in this thread, this is only us gathering questions for the stream on the 7th and that specifically sociopolitical/geopolitical/politically inclined questions may be avoided.Have a great time!

DeviouslyCursed:  I bought the full 49.99 package just to irritate people like you.

_BobaFett:  That worked, thank you.

_BobaFett:  Seriously. 

_BobaFett: I know this question has been asked a lot, but how do you fix the issue where you can't see your tank's tracers? I've been experiencing this since the last update and it's really affecting my performance.

_BobaFett:  

_BobaFett: See that's the thing, you can't rely on a team to play well so you have to play well for them. It's called carrying.
