DeviouslyCursed:  But then you will have to deal with all the rejects who sell/delete them, then submit a ticket because they didn't mean it and want it back now.

DeviouslyCursed:  Yes, they should definitely take lessons from a less successful, trash game. Good plan. Glad to see your reasoning abilities are still going strong.

churchill50: The Super Hellcat is not a rental. It was a free tank given out to all accounts that were over a certain age.All rentals will show either "Available for x time" or "Available for x battles" in the carousel. When Equipment 2.0 came out, all equipment that was changed was removed for free from lower tier tanks and sent to the Depot.Most of it you should be able to remount. If you do need to purchase new equipment, there should be a 50% sale this weekend (from the rumors I've heard).  I can't think of a good video that explains all that.Directives are single-use boosts to your tank. They last for 1 battle, and will boost either a piece of equipment or a crew skill. You can also use the crew skill directives to give you a crew skill you haven't yet trained on your crew.Blueprints give you a discount on the research cost of a tank.The double barrel tanks are a new mechanic in the game. They'll reload 1 barrel after the other. They can then either fire them one at a time with usually a 5 second delay between them. Or, they can "charge them" for 5 seconds and fire both at the same time. Hopefully that helps.

_BobaFett: That's a shame, because I had about 10 less ping on East.

churchill50: That's awesome OP. It's always fun to play with people you know.Sorry to hear she's bedridden. I hope you two have fun together!

_BobaFett: Patriot is the best all-around choice.

_BobaFett:  But on a more serious note, that's great.

Elias_K_Grodin: Thanks! I played WoT on and off even after I joined the WOWS team. But as things got more intense, I took a hiatus up until a few months ago.

_BobaFett: Your account is now 1 year older. It's a bonus WG does.

_BobaFett:  Took you long enough.     

_BobaFett: Bump

Draschel: What tanks you have of them? Liberty, Patriot, T54Mod1 if  those are still options. Then AMX CDAThe rest are trash, but if you have the ones above Jagd88  

Draschel: Charioteer is a very impressive and powerful TD. If it was a premium tank, it would be as good as skorpion and SU130pm, pretty sure. The trick with Charioteer, is never to fire while moving. The TD, like skorpion or Hellcat, has extremely awful dispersion stats which mega-bloom your reticle if you move. With equipment 2.0, lots of options are available like gun laying drive, rotator, rammer, aiming device - all options for +% slot. In addition, being closed top, you can always stick with ventilation too. Consider strengthening your crew running food with firefighting directive. Do not rely on HESH ammo. I know it is funny, and 480 alpha definitely beats 390, but it is unreliable. Without the impressive alpha and splash damage of FV4005, simple splash hits will do like 75 damage. On closer range targets reliably in sight for aiming cleanly, you can use the HESH or even HE. Don't rely on gun depression for protection either, just for quickly shooting, as the tank has virtually no turret armor at all. The hull actually has double the armor your turret does   

Draschel:  I do not know what you are talking about,  but  the engine power on patton-59 are NOT good, and among worst in tier mediums.Cupola would have been nice, but engine buff is nice and helps out a tonne. T95E2 buffs are trash. What a joke.

Draschel:   

Draschel:  The person, unfortunately does not want, or wish to understand. The person instead, wants to remain content with sitting in heavy tanks like 705A, Bisonte, Super Conqueror, 50 TP in hulldown positions and bounce and bounce and bounce and bounce AP from enemies. The person, rather doesn't want people using premium ammunition, and scratching their paint (and pride too)  Of course, driving a heavy tank - why should you be able to penetrate him? How dare you. This guy does not know what a good player is, does not know how to use the mind, does not know what trash is  -  actually I am not sure what does he know at all.   

_BobaFett: I got a warning for saying the word pol***cs.

So yeah.

Einzelganger7: In my opinion the Räumpanzer also needs more power to weight along a bit higher top speed, and if it can be only one then I'd say power to weight, by giving the same horsepower as the recent buffs on Super Pershing (720hp) would be enough.

KRZYBooP:  World of Tanks economy is designed specifically to ensure players keep bouncing from tier 10 back down to the lower tiers. Most credit gains are for damage, objective completion (capturing the points). The most profitable tiers are around tier 8 while tier 10 is designed to be a little more difficult to come out positive with credits. There are also additional bonuses depending on what tank you ride in. Light tanks can gain more credits and XP for spotting damage, which is when a tank you spot is blasted by other tanks on your team. There is also the same kind of bonus to Artillery but its damage done to a stunned target. The spotting thing applies to all tanks, but light tanks get the most since that is their role in the game. With all that said lower tiers give credits but it's scaled down to what tier you are playing if it is low tier. 

Now if you are interested, but you absolutely don't have to. You can invest a bit in premium time and premium tanks. That will give you a boost in credits, XP, and training crew which learn skills to give bonuses to attributes. If you stay up to date or are active on social media there is always some free giveaway/ contest or activity to participate in that can get you consumables that boost credits, XP, and Crew XP, or premium even premium tanks.  Not sure if you have experienced a F2P business model before, but the basic rundown is a company allows players to download and play the game for free. Then offering purchases from small to large to give players a chance to "tip" or pay what they like. The F2P game does this while trying to walk the line of not offering a guaranteed win or massive advantage that you can only purchase for real money.  If you are interested in more, or joining our Discord for more help check out my signature, and welcome to World of Tanks!

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! We are continuing to improve Premium vehicles, and the following set of vehicles will soon be sent to the Supertest. Despite their different nations, they all have American origins. Their roles in battle are pretty similar, which means the nature of their changes is also similar: they are meant to improve firing comfort and, in some cases, firepower itself. You can find the list of changes below. M48A2 RäumpanzerReload time from 7.6 s to 7 sDamage per minute from 1,895 to 2,051Accuracy from 0.42 to 0.4Aiming time from 1.9 to 1.7 sDurability from 1,450 to 1,500 HP M46 Patton KRReload time from 8.1 s to 7.4 sDamage per minute from 1,777 to 1,950Aiming time from 2.5 to 2.2 s T95E2Aiming time from 2.3 to 2 sStandard shell penetration from 181 to 190 mm 59-PattonAiming time from 2.3 to 1.9 sDispersion on turret traverse from 0.12 to 0.1Engine power from 520 to 620 h.p.Power-to-weight ratio from 14.3 to 17.1 h.p./t Note that the changes above are not final and may be adjusted.   

Einzelganger7: I'm an average player but just finished a short session to test the GuP Panzer IV ausf. H, I got an 80% win rate and great part of it was for teams actually doing team work so yes, like in the case of Skill there are days where even the best players can't win most times because the playerbase tends to be with an individualist mindset.

Elias_K_Grodin: Tanks for the warm welcome!

Elias_K_Grodin:     Heyo LeaveIT2Beaver! Thanks for the links! As much as I enjoy train themed songs, "Folsom Prison Blues" being my favorite train song, I actually enjoy contemporary (at least to me) music tastes! My playlist can contain anything from Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Barry White, Metallica, Tupac, BTS, Johnny Cash, or DJ Tiesto. I also just added "Just Dance" to my list of games on my Switch so we'll see what newer pop songs I get the taste for!

Jaguarz:  Remove tumor = viable

Elias_K_Grodin: Yessir, I am by no means a veteran at this. Just came back from sea-duty so it will be a while before I can dust off my tanker gloves and helmet!
