Usually not the biggest light tank fan but man does this thing slap.

Equipment is CVS, Exhaust(with directive) and bond optics

It was my mistake to call this tank a downgrade, turns out it was just my Skill Issue.

Ik this is a long shot rn bc ill only start the next line in like 3-4months but i was thinking about which line to do then.

I finished the JgE100 line and hat OK fun with it. Im working on Strv 103b and M48 Patton rn.

I looked at my options and mainly thought of Foch B, T110E3 or Badger line.

Towards Foch B line i would like to know if there are good other Tank lines were you can learn the autoloader mechanic.

I ask for line not purely for the Tier X

Does anyone have any link to this game art? I want it to be my wallpaper but it's way too blurry to be a good wallpaper. I hope anyone can give me a clear crop version of this.

We visited the tank museum yesterday in Dorset (UK) and my son and I played the game for the first time and loved it. Looking into getting into it when we are back home but had a couple of questions:

1. Is it fairly easy to get into as a newbie? My understanding is the museum have a special arrangement where loads of late game stuff is unlocked so just wondered how punishing it will be?

2. Is it an appropriate-ish game for an 8-year old? My eldest loved it and asked to play again but wasn't sure. Assuming there are ways to turn off voice / chat functions I wouldn't be too fussed but would be good to get a general consensus?

Thanks :)

Hey all fyi Took a break from game cause
1) bored as hell
2) fed up with the FOMO grind
3) Crucible missions meant only for the best player to win or for average player to grind hours away

I tell u I got back this week and still bored though I did notice wait times are way longer

, did they they tweek mm don’t recall it was so bad when I left , is it that the number of players is down

Finally, I was watching twitch and noticed fewer and fewer players from ages ago - I recall players like sela- Cody- truvoodooo

I guess people move on with the game

wg at this rate no Xmas loot boxes for me

95% of both teams were heavy tanks, you cant imagine the shit show we had this game, is this normal or did the MM go crazy?

All of the redline campers should be getting this keyboard.

If you're in AUS/NZ the Indigo West undersea cable is now under repair and expected to be complete by 03 NOV.

4k damage while over 35 km/h or destroy 6 moving enemies.

Let me start of by saying: Great mission design /s

Second, anyone know how to beat it? Is arty easier? I'm currently trying EBR & Tesak.

Given WG's heavy focus on monetization, tier 8 is where the cash cow starts. As a result, tier 7's ecosystem is, in my opinion, in an unusually healthy, balanced, and pleasantly historical place by comparison, which still contains some of the game's most iconic and historically intriguing vehicles. It is probably the highest tier you can reach that has more real vehicles than fake ones, and in particular, contains some critical prototypes. To put it plainly: If you want to play a strategic arcade tank game set in WWII, tier 7 is for you.

Of course the german tree is full of historically fascinating vehicles: Half of new players join to try out the Tiger I, then there's the Panther, Jagdpanther, and the Tiger P is the "what-if" performing beside the Tiger 1 which in real life got turned into the Elefant/Ferdinand. The Tiger I and P's respective downtiers at tier 6 are more historically accurate, but the tier 7 tanks remain legendary in WoT. The 30.02 D is germany's direct response to the T-34, intended as a copy but passed over in favor of the Panther, making it another fascinating what-if with one prototype built which survived the war. St. Emil was a real vehicle built from the obsolete 30.01 H, making it that chassis' only battle application.

Some premium examples in my garage right now:

- Eagle 7 is a historical downtiered Pershing
- Cent Gloriana is a historical downtiered Centurion I
- KTC and Tiger II Kuro. are historical downtiered Tiger II's which are extremely satisfying to play as heavy tanks, which IMO the tech tree Tiger I and Tiger II can't get away with
- Panther/M10 was of course a historically interesting tank
- VK 45.03, while terrible (no camo, limited mobility, Tiger I has a better gun, equivalent hull armor and superior turret armor) is itself an extremely interesting tank being a Tiger II prototype which still exists today
- FV201 A45 (while terrible) was a real tank which informed most of Britain's post-WWII heavy tank development
- The T23E3 is the crossroads which provided the late Sherman turret, and an early example of the suspension type which would later be used in the Pershing and onward, making it a link between the early and late U.S. tech tree--and by extension, the T29, T30, T34, and so on as well.

Additionally, as mentioned, tier 7 also contains many WoT classics. The T29 is still a beast (but not as broken as before), The IS and premium IS2's are one of the more iconic Soviet tanks for enthusiasts, the SU-152 and ISU-122S were also pretty important tanks of the war. SU-122-44 is an old standard which still holds up today thanks to its DPM and speed potential, and can still see occasional ricochets off the mantlet or from standard rounds.

Honorable mention, the T25/2 got an alpha buff a while back (it is now 280) which makes it a genuinely fun tank to play again.

I could go on for a while longer, but suffice to say, I enjoy tier 7 battles. When the lobby is full of tier 6's and 7's, maybe a few 8's, I enjoy the game far more than the new metas which have long taken over at tier 8, 9, and 10, where every new release seems to be a double barrel, burst tank, or autoreloader. Strangely enough I'm fine with tier 11, having fought against them for a while now.

TL;DR, tier 7 is a taste of old WoT which features many interesting vehicles, most of whom were either real or had significant basis in reality. A lot of the balance-destabilizing features responsible for 0-15 blowouts are absent, making it, IMO, the best overall tier in the game if you want a historic strategy experience set specifically in mid-late WWII.

Feel free to list other tier 7's you enjoy or find compelling to play!

The first time I played it back in May, I thought it was shit: trash mobility, very long reload, meh gun handling. But given that it has quite nice alpha and gun depression, I did not sell it after reaching ~70% when the grind to Borsig is done.

When later I picked it up again in Sep (AFTER i have marked the "fun" Borsig), it suddenly clicks for me - by running turbo+rotation to compensate a bit of the gun handling and mobility, and optics that gets its viewrange to a very nice level. For field mods I did 1, 2, 2, pretty standard stuff. I was honestly enjoying marking it. And luckily it became my first <100 games mark :)

First session playing Sheridan after buffs. I can't lose.

So, I got my first ever tier 8, the Ferdinand, no idea if this is a good rank line to go down first but, the game was on mountain pass. At that moment I still had that tier 6 gun for the Ferdinand. Anyway the game progresses and it’s only four of us vs 11 on mountain pass, we were the top capture point. Most of the enemies and allies were dead scattered all over the capture point. So I just assume we were gonna lose. But by some miracle my Ferdinand super structure managed to hold up against half a dozen of them firing at me at once, granted I had no weak spots visible. We eventually thinned the horde while I took most of the brute force. Eventually dealing 3.8k damage that game with 5 kills. That’s very good considering it only does 200 damage right?

What tech tree is more worth to open and research, FV4005 or Badger? I'm currently stuck at AT 2 and dunno what to choose between Achilles or AT 8.

So, not sure how to start this, but I recently decided to switch clans. I was previously in a clan that basically ran boosters in the "rush hours" and that's that regarding activity. So, I decided to look for a German clan.

I came up basically empty handed, not because of me being too bad for them, but because of politics (which is to me the dumbest reason of them all). I'm very much on the political left and I don't try to hide it. I'm not trying to convert anyone or agressively get political at any and all opportunities that present themselves - quite the contrary. I usually keep my thoughts on political matters to myself unless I'm asked about it or the other party gets political first and tries to start an argument. Thing is, the clans I've had some calls with usually were pretty political (and right wing political, that is) and most of the time it would result in "friction" or teasing towards me.

Listen mates, I just want to have fun gaming whilst being left alone about my political views. I really don't need to be agreed with, I just want it not to be a problem. I'm just a regular dude, wanting to improve at the game and do that whilst gaming with some others online - maybe try out some clan stuff or something.

I know that CC clans exist and I might go and join one of those, but I wanted to give other clans that I haven't taken into consideration yet just as much of a chance as those. I also have a friend who came back after a like 10yr break and is still basically "learning the game" from the ground up. He - quite unsurprisingly - has positively terrible stats (like 620 recent WN8). I really would like him to be able to join too, but I also accept if that's just not a possibility for you because of space or performance being an issue.

Almost forgot to link my tomato.gg aswell as my friend's.

So, if you're part of a clan (preferably a german speaking one, but at this point I'm open to english speaking ones aswell), that would be willing to take me (and maybe my buddy too), then feel free to leave a comment or dm me (whatever works for you best) and I'd be happy to have a call via Discord or TS.

I'm old and was thinking about my best rounds ever in all of gaming and I got 10 kills in a WOT match once. It's ridiculously hard and unlikely. Not only do you have to crush it but if the other 14 guys on your team get more than 5 combined kills it's not happening. I got a Pool's Medal.

Are these redundant? Better to have both of them, or the automatic consumable is rather wasted?
