So what's the truth about arty in this game?
So far I've only experienced them on the receiving end, being plinked and missed away for 40-400 damage.

Can you actually help your team with arty or is it a containment class for all the wankers?

How does the normalization retrofit work?

5% on the first tier is pretty laughable if it's actually 5%.
AP has 5°;
5°x1.05=5.25°;
At tier 3 the retrofit gives you 7.50%:
5°x1.075=5.375°

Taking the values in pic related for the upper frontal plate and applying the formula some nerd wrote up here:
https://aw.my.com/en/forum/showthread.php?880-Overpowered-Tanks&p=15298&viewfull=1#post15298

[effective armor]=142mm/sin(x)
with x = 22° (no normalization) the effective armor is 379 mm.
with x = 27° (default normalization of AP round) the effictive armor is 312.8 mm.
with x = 27.375 (tier 3 retrofit) the effective armor is 308.8 mm.

You get a whopping effective armor reduction of
4 mm
compared to no retrofit if shooting at the upper frontal plate of a T-64 with AP.

This can't be true, can it? Please tell me I made a mistake somwhere.
>>
>>121997156
I think it just straight up adds those % to your normalization

does the T-62 you get for free count to shishikin stuff or it now just sitting in my garage looking painted?

>>121997369

No?
Then it's the same as the 430.
Jack shit.
>>
>>121997362
If that's true the tier 3 retrofit gives you an effective armor reduction of respectable 62 mm.

what the fuck obsidian.
>>
>>121998432
You see comrade, crew in BMP is always drunk so they pour Vodka over HEAT shell everytime, which makes the shell go big kaboom, hahaha.
And also comrade, the crew in BMD is always in gym and training to be as bear. So they press firing button harder, which makes shell go faster and also shells for some reason also get fit in process which makes them bigger but leaner so they penetrate further bug have not so much kaboom. )))
>>
>>121997156
>>121997663

AP has 5 degrees normalization.
The retrofit adds 2 degrees as a flat bonus with its Mk. 1 and 3 degrees at Mk. 3.
So with Mk. 3, AP has 8 degrees of normalization.

what's the point, is it just a camo paint preview?
>>
>>122003961
>isn't it the lowest calibre atm is 20mm?

i think so but the 14,5 should still be capable of shooting up almost every tank it'll see that would also be vulnerable to the 20 mm, although it'll probably be pickier about angles and hard spots

the only real problem for it i can think off of-hand is the front armor on the AMX-10P and W-B

>>122004214
a m113 can bounce shots from it's own 20mm fairly reliably with a bit of angling if I remember right

>i think so but the 14,5 should still be capable of shooting up almost every tank it'll see that would also be vulnerable to the 20 mm
no way, amx already has much better chance at penetrating a side armore of mbt just becouse it has 81 pen and other apc with 20mm has only 75.
14.5 will have 60 pen at most. they will probably add powerful ATGM and put in on level 3.

Not in PvP. They are blind and can be penetrated even from the front if you know where to shoot. Not to mention most MBT players are dumb.
>>
>>122007407
Ok, I am still new at this game, but it feels like enemy TDs can't pen me unless they get close enough for me to spot them and hit them back twice as hard...same for enemy LTs and AFVs.
The only thing I am scared of are ATGMs and chip damage from arty, both of which you can dodge.

Do you feel like this too?
>>
>>122008174
TDs are indeed not as effective as ATGMs on long ranges, simply becouse ATGMs are much more accurate and can penetrate a lot more. Vechicles without ATGMs pretty much make most of their damage by targeting other soft targets or flanking MBTs. Anyway, that doesn't makes MBTs OP becouse their vision sucks so hard.
>>
>>122008174
>The only thing I am scared of are ATGMs and chip damage from arty, both of which you can dodge.
And no, you can't dodge that shit if enemy is skillful enough. Arty will predict your next move(usually it's reversing if you are idle) and ATGM will keep his rocket in sky for half of the duration of flight to make your warning sign appear too late.

it works, you have to shoot it very high into the sky and then quickly point to target. penetration is very decent so bad angle is not a problem.

Better than WoT. Arty isn't one-hit KO. Playerbase seems to not be as retarded as WoT but that might just be a question of time. They're not jewing as hard as WT or WoT. Graphics are okay. Nothing too great. Some maps need improvements optimisation wise.
>>
>>122010638
Balance is a bit wobbly right now. Lower tiers feel pretty even but tiers 6 and up seem skewed towards main battle tanks.
Graphics is worse than WT at the moment to be honest, but it runs on the Cryengine and there's still a lot of time to get better.
Personally I'm having a blast going 90mph and doing wheelies and drifts with my VBL.

Swingfire is excellent late game if your team is focused on defense.
It can hold certain areas on most maps with relative ease, because almost always, it's a handful of MBTs that are left on the other team. It fucking sucks when you have to actively chase down you enemies though.
>>

Our was simply scouting the two remaining MBT's on the end, one was capping, got to 50, and then got two shelled.

Yes the problem is that the drum magazine offers only marginally more damage than a single shot while exposing you for much longer. Not only that but it pings the map three times, and if you're in the same position firing for 3 shots the pings get consecutively smaller until they point out your exact position.

Paladin gets ~450 damage on a 12 second reload, during which it can relocate, making it very easy to be outputting its full damage without getting counterbatteried.

Compare this to the PzH2000 which gets ~250 a shot for 3 shots with 3 second interdrum and ~16 second drum reload.

It has to stay in position for 6 seconds to fully drum out during which an enemy can easily aim in all the way and drop shells on you (Paladin deals 750 if it HE pens which happens all too often against arty). This means that in order to avoid being counterbatteried the PzH 2000 must not utilize its full DPM effectively, while the Paladin can.

Also if you compare the stat cards the Paladin has more DPM in the first place.

A skill that would reduce pings on consecutive shots would be nice as it would make it more capable of utilizing the damage its given. Of course you would still be drawn while firing so the drawback is still there.

I think artillery commanders/crew skills should be centered around utilizing support shells and less about the actual damage anyway.

When are they gonna fix the bugged supply truck on Stormy Winter

When the fuck is Obshitian going to get off their ass and fix the fucking shot delay. Autocannons need to lead targets be a couple of times the tanks length at mid range sometimes. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.
>>
>>122049391

There's no way to fix the shot delay. It's either that or ghost shells, especially with autocannons.
When you fire in the client, the server just recieved the information that you are firing and then your shots start leaving the barrel.
If you make it so the shots synch up with the client (aka make both the action and the firing client side) then you'll experience tons of ghost shells. Since you'll be aiming at a target and it LOOKS like you're hitting them, but in reality your shells are only hitting the target client-side, you end up with a system worse than the current one.

Yeah, shot delay is in every match, but you can learn it and aim accordingly. You can't get around ghost shells in WoT when they're both client-side but the calculation is done server-side.

tl;dr: there's no way to fix it, get used to it

>>122050658

I'm not saying Obsidian themselves are faultless, they seriously need to patch up the netcode as I've seen plenty of teleporting tanks, random rubberbanding, and of course server stuttering.
Though keep in mind tanks move MUCH faster in AW so you have to lead more. And there's many more tanks that have salvos and those salvos are much bigger compared to WoT.
And all that means I personally would rather have a delay I could get used to than be given an all smiles client-side then told to fuck off when the server tells me half my autocannon salvo did nothing.
>>
>>122050901
You didn't notice having to lead targets at point blank range? Or did you think that was normal? WoT ammo moves even slower and it's far far less leading involved even against LTs.
>>
>>122051047

Haven't noticed.

If anything, some shots I'd expect to fall behind actually hit.
>>
>>122051047

>WoT ammo moves even slower and it's far far less leading involved even against LTs.
Only at low tiers. At high tiers, AP shells fly only slightly slower or faster than AW's.
APCR almost always flies faster than AW's AP, HEAT almost always flies faster too. The main difference is tanks move slower in WoT meaning less leading is required and the average engagement range is also shorter in WoT.

As far as leading goes between both games, AW requires MUCH more of it than WoT does, so the only ghost shells you really see are against fast tanks at medium-long range while in AW you have the shot delay so your shells are consistently delayed across all ranges but means you won't see any ghost shells.

>>122051742

I'm not saying they don't exist, I've just never seen any cases of shells hitting the enemy client-side but not dealing any damage server-side.

>>122051906

I've never really experienced that. Might just be because I aim for the rear.
The most annoying thing I've seen happen is when 2 AFVs side hug while on the move and since they're aiming for each other at point blank but also moving, none of their shells hit each other.

The rest entirely depends on the tank. You want moving accuracy on brawlers, accuracy on anything that isn't a pure brawler, and aim time on both unless you're a brawler and already have really good moving acc. There's also to take in consideration that shots fired when the cannon isn't completely stabilized consistently puts the shells at the border of the dispersion circle.

I suggest playing it exclusively until you are finished with it. I find that playing good tanks like the germans or the soviets makes playing that tank even harder because you will have higher expectations. It also plays completely different than those, as its a slow piece of crap yet has no armor. So it drives like the T-64 and has to hide like the Leopard. Thankfully the gun has high alpha damage so you can maximize your hiding.
>>
>>122068016
That is too general. Retrofits should be fitted based on a vehicles strengths. For scouts, view range and acceleration is pretty much mandatory.
For TDs, it's the same at least as far as t5.
For LTs, you want to not play them at all.
For MBTs, max out firepower as much as possible, doesn't really matter what you get after that apart from more HP.
SPGs just need firepower. Literally nothing else matters to them apart from maybe acceleration which you can't get because you need to use that universal slot for firepower.

The starship is maybe the best T4 MBT, no joke. You just have to be crazy careful about when you move out of cover.

Accuracy isn't really an issue, shots seem to hit dead center most of the time if you're fully aimed in

People are retarded. You should've realized that by know if you lurked WoTg and took note of their completely goddamn awful choices of crew perks, such as prioritizing repairs on mediums, picking sixth sense when the commander is at 0%, bothering with BIA on anything that isn't an arty, etc.

and it really fucking pisses me off
>>
>>122114727
Because Wargaming will make efforts into trying not to lose a chunk of its playerbase, and Obsidian will have to make up for the more frequent WoT patches. Also if the previous stuff they made is anything to go by that'd be a sim.

>>122114942
I think that has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Steel Beasts was ridiculously expensive. Moreover this will definitely have a seizable playerbase, thanks to "WW2 tank culture" and hopefully the fact it won't be freemium shite.
>>
To clarify:

Improving Minimum Accuracy makes you be aimed in a little at all times, i.e. the same as the Vert. Stab. upgrade in WoT.

Improving Maximum Accuracy improves the accuracy of your shells when you are fully aimed in.

Correct?
>>
>>122117386
Improving minimum accuracy means your circle is a little smaller at its widest. Improving maximum accuracy means your circle is a little smaller at its smallest.

It's in any vehicle. I only played my Terminator because I wanted a chance to be top and prems have pref MM. It apparently didn't work.

If I queue in a 5, it's a heavy 6 battle. If I play 6 it is guaranteed to be a 7 battle whether I sit in queue for 3 minutes or if it pops instantly.

I get they want everyone to have a good time so they try to force 50 winrate, but it becomes very unfun when you are never given the opportunity to be top tier. You have to work a lot harder in a lower tiered vehicle to carry the already heavy AW teams and you pretty much never feel powerful. I would honestly expect to be top tier 60% of the time, considering a game of all the same tier would count. At the moment I'm looking at a top tier rate of 30% and dropping.

No, no you're completely fuckign wrong about it, dipshit.

T-34 was a *medium* tank, not a *cavalry tank* like the BTs. Also, calling it american is dumb as hell considering it was never actually sued by he US.

As for the T-72, you're so wrong on all levels, it's not even funny. Neither does it use a "modified T-34 engine" nor is any chinese tank a copy of it, you fucking retard.

You evidently don't know anything of actual value or factual correctness about tanks at all, so who are you to try and talk about anyone's tanks then?)))))))))

Nobody cares. Not only is the suspension not even remotely what truly makes the tanks design, nationality of a tank ultimately falls to the government controlling the design and production process of it isntead fo singular technical personnel.

>some shitty history channel-level documentary

Learn about proper sourcing, retard. Russian-language bullshit pseudohistory is still bullshit pseudohistory. The only commonality between the T-34s and T-72s engines is that both are V-style diesel engines - which happens to be the most common type of basic architecture for diesel engines worldwide, fucktard.

>can you at least read english article on the fucking official site of this game?

I can apparrently do so better than you. "Incorporating some elements" does not make it a copy, you fucking illiterate moron. Otherwise just about every tank ever built is jsut a "copy" of the Mark I, given they all incorporate such elements as treads and cannons.

Learn something about chinese tanks that isn't regurgitating bullshit myths and beibng a lying little shitstain trying to take bullshit soundbites out of context before trying to argue about them, you ignorant little braindead fucktard.

Calling any chinese tank past the Type 59/69/79 a copy of anyting only does two things: Prove your utter and complete ignorance and idiocy in regards to chinese tanks and preclude you from being ever taken serious when arguing actual facts about them. Deal with it.

Rashid is a decent enough commander, he gives you hull traverse, turret traverse and a bonus for missiles.

how do they even plan on making money with this game? atm players are not forced to spend real money, unlike wot.
premium time - not worth it becouse 2.5 people play past level 5 atm and there is always enough cash.
it will be more useful for late joining folks who want to get to high fast, but what's the point of getting to high tiers if you haven't played enough battles to git gud?
exp convertation - not worth it becouse you can do any shitty tank in pve and they even removed unlocks from the arty.
premium tanks:
i don't see any reasons to buy them, aside from few of them being really good atm, but i still don't see reason to play dead end premium tanks when you could be earning exp to unlock new modules/tanks which is a huge part of fun in mmo.
in wot training crew was a long, painful thing that you had to do without premium tanks and premium time, not to meniton you need to farm silver on them to buy gold ammunition.

>just feel slow and repetitive

Going to have to disagree there. In WoT, heavy tanks felt slow and repetitive but the battles always differed so it really came down to style. MBTs though, each one feels very different to one another. Some drive smoother, some guns handle better and some can take a beating. I think they have great variety.
>>
>>122189160
I do not find my self having sufficient cash. Playing 3 MBT lines and im negative 2 million gold and running premium.
>>
>>122189671
I think WoT actually has better variety amongst it's heavy tank class at Tier 10

AMX 50B and T57 Heavy are drum-fed, burst damage machines.
T110E5 and IS-7 are hull down area denial experts
Maus, E-100 and Jap Superheavy are side-scraping bullet-sponges

Hopefully we'll see more variety in AW as it develops, because it's very homogeneous right now

AW does a ton of stuff right, but the grind is just as long as WoT, but being able to play stock tanks in PvE really takes the edge off. You'll appreciate this, as each tank starts off completely stock - there are no modules you can carry over from other vehicles.

You get unlimited free garage slots which lets try out as many different tank lines as you want without being penalised.

There's a lot less emphasis on commander and crew skills. There are only 2 or 3 worthwhile commanders in the game right now and crews can't move from their original vehicle and only pick up a couple of skills before maxing out...whether this is good or bad comes down to personal taste.

Also, there's no end-game, and no organised play to speak of, hopefully this changes soon.

If only War Thunder was reasonably priced instead of f2p with reasearch points, repair costs, crew training, grind fest progressions system instaed of just paying an up front cost so you can enjoy crazy tank and plane battles without worrying about repair costs and suffering through a grind and all that shit.

>>122214052
Its sad because gameplay and graphics wise WT is amazing but they screw it all up and lock it behind an infathomable grind, pay2win system.

Even those who can afford to pay for the game can end up paying $100 or so for all the tanks/planes that are premium that they want, like the latest debacle with the British tanks, Firefly, etc.

Godamnit.

F2P really screwed up that game, I'm counting on 1C Company now to deliver us something better without the shit load of F2P obstacles WT has.

Same here, generous credits per match, compared to fucking War Thunder where you often lost more than you gained on top of paying repair costs.

GF seem significantly more imbalanced than planes at all tiers. You're always getting ass fucked by some meme tank unless you pick the right one for that BR. Convieniently, different nations are OP at different tiers, so gaijin can jew as much money as possible out of you.

Planes are bearable because pilot stupidity can render a lot of an airplanes ineffective, while succeeding in some broken tank usually depends on keeping your front pointing at the enemy.

Whats the difference between BMP development and the recon vehicles?

Also what is a fire support vehicle?

I mean, recon vehicles is self explanatory but what are BMPs for then? And fire support vehicles is all kinds of vague
>>
>>122258415
Also what is difference between BMDs and BMPs

They all look the same
>>
>>122258415
bmds are just like bmps but slightly better
though the bmp 3m will get a buff so we'll just see
>>
>>122258761
And fire support vehicles?
>>
>>122259151
yeah those are the bmds. same role as the bmps
fast autocannons with paper armor.
great view range and camo but not as great as the recon vehicles
>>
>>122259705
So what makes them different from recon vehicles?

Are recon vehicles just faster or something?
>>
>>122258415
>>122258643
I'll just give you the run down of the end tier vehicles.

BMD-4 does everything that the BMP-3M can do, but better. It's smaller, faster, does more damage, better acceleration, better almost at everything. It has slightly less HP than the BMP-3M though, but the difference is negligible.

BMP-3M is just a shittier BMD-4, but with the next patch it is getting buffed across the board and is, I from my understanding, being made into more of a brawler. A tank meant to handle other light tanks and can hold its ground as well. Currently its a joke in comparison to other tanks of its tier. Also, it doesn't have a T8 so you can grind out a token on it, that can be seen as an advantage.
>>
>>122259846
pretty much it. fastest vehicles, great spotters, high camo
those bmds and bmps get ERA protection at high tiers while the recons dont
they have almost same firepower as those bmps/bmds
>>
>>122260216
Also why is everything separated into 2 dealers, it seems unnecessary
>>
>>122260358
OE wants you to spend moar time in AW.
>>
>>122260478
I was already planning to spend time playing the game, they dont really need to pad it out like that

>>122260358
why not?
so that it'll have a bit of variety
3rd dealer coming soon
>>
>>122260845
And what would the third dealer get? Everything that doesnt fit into the other 2 categories of "strong tanks" and "fast tanks"?

Putting everything in just one large tree would make more sense, unless they plan to have dealer battles or something, but I doubt they will
>>
>>122260962
I guess so
>The initial release of the third dealer will feature only Chinese vehicles, although Polish, Czech and Swedish vehicles will appear in this tree as well soon after.
>>
>>122261343
Will they move the other chinese vehicles to that dealer as well?
>>
>>122261451
currently there are no chinese tanks in the game so OE will put them in the third dealer including the type-59
>>
>>122261576
My bad, I saw the soviet flag on some of the tanks and I mistook them for Chinese for some reason
>>
>>122261864
let me try to guess.
Zhalo-S?
>>
>>122262210
Nah, just looking at the BMPs mostly, saw the flag in the window, didnt bother reading the description

In my defense the flag is kinda small, and when you make the Soviet flag small it looks nearly identical to the Chinese flag

Zhalo does sound Chinese though

But that brings up another thing, why separate Soviet and Chinese vehicles? A lot of them are incredibly similar if not just straight knock-offs, though later tiers will certainly be different, still

Excited for Sweden though

How exactly does AP normalization / angling work in this game?

I really see no point to tank angling like in WOT because whenever anybody shows me >10 degrees of their side I can shoot right through it.

Is there any reason to not stay completely straight towards your opponents?

Also, what the hell are you supposed to do in an XM1 against a terminator that can seemingly instantly switch from autocannon to rockets and 4-shot me from full HP right through my front upper?
>>
>>122279216
>caring about MBTs
>>
>>122282129
AP rounds have 5 degrees of normalization.

MBT sides are very thinly armored compared to the front so while you shouldn't face opponents completely head on, you don't want to angle as hard as you would in WoT.

Next patch makes sidescraping a bit more effective aswell.
>>
>>122281207
>it's like expecting healer to carry shitters

that actually works though
>>
>>122282339

But as I said, I can eat through MBT sides even when they barely expose to me.

Does this mean I should angle ~2-5 degrees then to slightly increase frontal armor effective thickness while making it very hard to pen my sides?
>>
Also since I have both a universal and a firepower retrofit slot on the XM1, does this mean I can / should get two firepower upgrades?

I am thinking chrome barrel lining and MRS

>>122282504
I'd say you're fine as long as you stay around/under 10 degrees or so.

It's easy as hell to bait shots from siemas while sidescraping even if you barely expose anything.

you should really only angle in two situations.

>>122283141

If you're saying the BMP-3M performs 75% as good as the Wiesel, and the BMD-4 performs 25% better than the Wiesel, then you've got a pretty skewed view of how the game works.
The BMP-3M is a bad tank only because the BMD-4 is nearly the same but better. If the BMP-3M offers a specific advantage, like it will next patch, then it's no longer a bad tank.
And if they buff the BMP-3M and nerf the BMD-4 shortly after, take a wild guess what tank they will hog to next? Considering the BMP-3M will after the next patch be better in some ways than the BMD-4, it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

No? Swingfire has 440+80 while the LAV has 425+40.

On top of that the Swingfire has 0.39 camo compared to LAVs 0.30 camo.

The only thing that can outspot a swingfire in the game is a VBL.

Can someone explain to me how the SPOTTED indicator works please.

If it pops up and is bright it means an enemy can see me and has clear line of sight, correct?

What does it mean when the indicator is still visible but faded/greyed out?
>>
>>122290209
I think it means you've broken clear line of sight but are still visible to the enemy team
>>
>>122290209
no marker above your tank but you're still visible
>>
>>122290347
I'm not sure if this is correct. I keep getting shot when the indicator is greyed out.

>>122290558
>I keep getting shot when the indicator is greyed out.
You might have broken line of sight of the one who spotted you in the first place, but other tanks can still be in position to fire at your location.
>>
>>122290701
ok so...

bright indicator: you are being actively spotted by an enemy

faded indicator: you are still visible to the enemy team, but are not being actively spotted
(aka: you will be invisible again soon)
>>
>>122291263
Yeah.

I think they were changing it somehow to make it more clear in the next patch
>>

It has been confirmed by the devs that both commanders and retrofits will be moved off the artillery lines.

Tanks.

I read it like Sure Start makes your initial circle(after it expanded completly) 20% smaller than the original,

while Sharpshooter makes the smallest circle you have 20% smaller from the original

you're aware that your turrets turns in relation to your hull right

so if your hull can turn faster than your turret, you can't turn your turret opposite way as your hull because the hull just goes faster

Tier 6 premiums have special matchmaking meaning they get put on the top more often than normal tier 6es.

You can level your crew all the way up to level 5. At level 5, all the characteristics a crewmember is responsible for goes up by 10%, with the exception of the loader who has a maximum of 5% faster reload at level 5.
You can't transfer crew between vehicles if that's what you're asking. So except for just playing the tank and having fun while getting slightly better numbers, there's no point to leveling the crew past a certain point.

how does the tusk armor on the abrams work? are those era or?
>>
>>122373950
if you're asking about IG, I think it's just a way of stopping HE, HEAT and ATGM hits, and maybe low penetration APFSDS rounds.

IRL, they're shaped charges placed outside of a vehicle which detonate upon impact, shattering\breaking whatever hits it at high velocity.
>>
>>122374238
so ERA? I'm guessing the ones under those round things are the ERA blocks.
>>
>>122373936
Artillery is worthless in PVE. If they're too dumb to move let them die.
>>
>>122374656
There's two types of TUSK additions to the Abrams IRL, idk about IG though. TUSK 1 is basically ERA and extra armour slapped on, and TUSK 2 is rectangular plates with like a small bit of explosives behind it which detonate and pump the disk out after impact or smth
>>
>>122373936
run away then, there are only 3 maps in PvE where arty can be of any use and even then, an MBT will always be more valuable.

Maybe because you're playing a premium tank?
And because PvE is meant to give you fuckall credits?

Leo will get slightly better next patch but for now it's pure suffering.
T-72 will also get better next patch, right now it has a bugged model with several spots with 0 armor on the front.

Allow me to gush a bit.

Fuck I love this game. Its like WoT only better. Most of the soul shattering stock tank bullshit is gone. No gold ammo. PVE which gives you a break from PVP or visa versa. They do nothing to force you to give them your money. Which makes me want to give them more of my money. Commanders that carry over to other tanks to help the stock tank grind even more. All sorts of upgrade options.

Other than how terrible artillery is and its rough edges, its a sold A+ game.
>>
>>122382760
AW certainly has potential, but calling it better than WoT now when it's still so early in development is dangerous

>>122383025
Well it's certainly less stressful than WoT. I can buy all the tank i want without worrying about stock grind or crew
>>
So how do I Sheridan, /awg/? Shit's terrible, yo. Huge, takes a decade to aim, (almost) literally armoured in napalm plates. I really want to like it, but I just don't get this thing.
>>
>>122383769
yeah for sure. it's also nice to have free garage slots and competent crew members every time you buy a tank.

that doesn't change the fact that AW is unintuitive, uninformative, unbalanced, buggy as fuck, and with no organised play whatsoever

when Obsidian fix this shit I'll drop WoT and WT for good, but right now it's not much more than a fun little distraction
>>
>>122382760

Completely agreed on all accounts.

Half of the reason I love this game so much, besides all of the reasons you mentioned which are completely correct, is the fact that the devs AREN'T WG.

WG are the most horrible, lying sack of shit, soul sucking, moronically incompetent, greedy as fuck dev company I think I've ever seen in over 20 years of vidya playing.

The worst part is that despite all of their shitty game flaws, playing their games is generally fun.

But then when it comes time to buy another month of premium I always have to spend an hour thinking about it because I hate WG so fucking much that I don't even want to support their mediocre as fuck product and their scum business practices.

I have no problem paying $11 for a month of premium in this because the devs aren't absolute scumbags.
>>
>>122383769
>tfw have to sell most of my tanks to buy a tier 7 or 8
>>
>>122385015
I swore I would never give WG another cent after they made the Super Pershings armor realistic but failed to do so with the gun. And I stuck to it. I also swore I would quit WoT if AW was at least as good, which I also did. Let the russians give them their money.
>>
>>122385309

The funny part about russians is that despite making up something like 70% of the playerbase for the game, all russian ships / planes / tanks are biased to hell and back, AND the fact that the devs clearly don't give a single fuck about NA / EU servers, RU barely pays any money to WG relative to the NA server.

I think I read somewhere that NA is 70% of WG's income and they spend on average >10x what russians do in game.

It's amazing that WG can still stay in business despite the obvious malice they have for everyone outside of RU.
>>
>>122385051
Stop grinding purely in pve.
I'm drowning in credits after grinding my last 50% rep in pvp
>>
>>122385465
Wrong info. The average NA/EU player spends more on the game than the average Russian player, but the RU server is bringing the big dosh in the end.
>>
>>122386049
I literally never do PvE. Only when I have the day bonus and shit.

I mainly play PvP. Only just started playing again a few days ago since closed alpha, and I just reached my first Tier 7.
>>
>>122386241
Maybe you should stop grinding for a while and revisit your old tank. You know, playing comfy tonk just for fun.

Oh wait, you sold them
>>
>>122386127
yeah but wouldn't it be a better strategy to pander to the guys who pay well so that you get more of them instead of focusing on the mass that pays fuckall individually even if, when added together the mass pays more
>>
>>122386747
Well, I don't plan on going to Tier 8 just yet, so I guess my Tier 7 will stay. Not going to keep a shit tank that I've already researched. Cough Chieftain Cough
>>
>>122387047
Surprisingly enough, no, not in the case of WoT. That's cause the financial model of WoT is about the customer paying a little, but constantly. WoT doesn't have enough paid content to pander to "whales", super-paying customers who will invest a lot of money into a game. WoT doesn't offer them anything special or really useful to stand over the "normies" who don't pay.

You absolute madman
Atleast they are buffing the chally and ariete in two days

Quite proud of myself, desu senpai. 56 battles and a win rate of 63%. Used what free exp I got from the battle reports.

And thank fuck they're buffing the Chally. Really need that gunner sight weakspot fixed. Will they be nerfing the frontal armour to make it more balanced? What exactly are they doing to the Challenger 1?

What is wrong with artillery?

>>122388914
frustrating to play against, not very exciting to play as

Nothing. Some WoT-veterans jsut have eperpetual PTSD abut it and get triggered by ary n any similar game, no matter how it is implemented.

I used to look down on Chieftain players who couldn't get their own HP in damage

then I bought the Chieftain

too slow to get into position before a flank is locked down by scouts and TDs, no armor, the stillbrew does fuckall, fucking humongous, two fucking armor slots and only one firepower slot

holy shit

It's worse than I thought

Challenger 1 is okay. It'll be 10x better with the buff coming. Sounds super OP from what the devs have said, though.

i fully expected some sperg to make noise about the 20 cm difference. congratulations

What should I unlock for the Chally 1 first? New gun or ERA?
>>
>>122405001
everytime I see the size of russian tanks I am baffled how small they are in comparison to western MBTs, then I remember they only have a 3 men crew
