Ready for the 2nd Nov!

Ready for the 2nd Nov!

Postby Spack » Sun Oct 28, 2012 8:31 pm

Looks like the Golden Joystick MMO win for WoT came at just the right time - I've just about made it to the XP unlock for the E-75, and with the bonus code for next weekend and the price drop on T9 and T10 tanks I'll be able to sell the Tiger 2, add the 1m credits I'll have available by then (hit 700k today), and get the E-75 while keeping the engine and 105mm top gun from the Tiger 2 so it's got a little more oomph than stock.

Now I just have to grind 3m more credits to get the GWPanther and the Panther which I unlocked last week ... that 3 day premium account will be very handy :D

Yeah! The 3 day premium addition will come in very handy.

I'm not as high up in the tiers as you Spack, Finally have a couple of tier 6's. WOrking my way towards the Tiger. Any hints or tips with the Tiger tank?

I hadn't played for quite sone time, but back into it now on the US server with Galador and Talus.

Lots of fun. For anyone yet to try the game I highly recommend it.

I miss the Tiger. Turret and 88mm are a must, and remember it's a heavy sniper not a brawler. Try to stay back a bit from the forward line, use cover, and snipe from a distance. If you're top of the tanks on your team you should be able to take quite a few hits without problems, got a lot of Steel Wall medals with the it.

I've been putting around 100 games a week in recently, trying to get crews up to 100% and unlocking lower tanks I skipped, or playing in tiers that I haven't killed everything in (under T6 I've only got to find a D2 to kill, and at T6 only two USSR arties are not on my kill list), slowly working towards a tank expert medal - I should be able to get the USA one when I get the E-75 as I've only got 4 US tanks to kill to earn the achievement (3 x T10, and 1 T8 arty).

If 8.1 comes out on Thursday/Friday I'll have to leave my PC downloading the update all day to make sure I don't spend the first bonus day downloading the update ...

Didn't know the 8.1 update was supposed to be coming out that soon. Good to hear!
The 4 re-worked maps looked really great on the preview video.
They're doing some nice work on the program.

Got the E75, but it's going to be slow going trying to grind 50,000 xp for the top engine, the top engine from the Tiger2 gives me about 16kmh top speed!

Also have to be a lot more careful shooting at enemy tanks, had a game last night where an idiot in an IS3 drive in front of me at point blank range just as I was firing at an enemy KV5 - IS3 one-shot killed, and then had the cheek to call for everyone to report me. Grrr.

Its annoying when that happens!

Typical though, they've got a x5 xp bonus for this weekend & it would be the weekend I booked a break in the Lakes! I'm never going to get that T54! And to make matters worse its snowing here!

After making money from the E75 during the 3 day free premium, I've now realised that it's not really sustainable on a free account. While I did have some good games where I survived and made money, the overall result for the evening was a loss of around 100k in repairs and ammo.

Good news though it that I only have to kill a T92 and a T110E4 to get the Tank Expert: USA achievement; bad news is that when 0.8.2 comes out with 5 new US tanks that's another 5 tanks I have to kill to get that achievement ...

Only need 5 German tanks (GW Typ E, VK4502P, E50-M, JagdPz E-100, Maus) for the Tank Expert: German one though, and I can't see there being any new non-premium German tanks for a while so that one I should be able to keep hold of for a while. Came very close to the VK4502P and E50-M at the weekend, both of them I've managed to get down to around 1% HP left and then another member of team has picked them off while I'm reloading :(
