Just add your favorite strategy to build your own iron empire and manifest the indisputable authority of the tank power!

Q: So if I understand your previous answer correctly, there is no bonus for damaging a higher-tier opponent.

However, many players (judging by the forums) have always been convinced that this bonus exists. Moreover, this belief was supported by several developer statements, including very recently in the thread concerning changes to the battle levels of the Type 59.

I would like to be completely certain that I understood you correctly - the view that damaging an enemy tank that is of a higher tier than yours results in more credits is incorrect. Thank you.

A: For a while, we ourselves were convinced that the bonus exists.

Turns out, during the balancing of the in-game economy, the bonus was removed. It just slipped our minds.

So damaging a higher-tier tank does not earn more credits.

The T82 is probably also basically impossible to circle with its speed.

there's never a reason to circle a T82.

Indeed and when i said circling, i was only referring to the KV with the fat turret.

I think I timed it at 4 minutes in my type 59, no idea if it varies.

Edited:

But really if you only use it when you need to (climbing hills basically) and remember to turn it off when you don't, I find it's rarely a problem.

[Azaz3l]

Thread was locked again. What.

[joost1120]

8 Minutes on the BT-2, a minute or less on heavy tanks.

Every engine has a certain amount of hitpoints. When you enable RSG hitpoints will go down with 1 per second. Some tanks (like the T54) can keep RSG enabled for almost the entire match (I thought it was like 12 minutes for the T54) without getting engine damage.

Thats how it works iirc, there was some thread about it on the forums a while ago.

[Saza]

I don't use the RSG anymore actually

It proved to not really do a whole lot on my tanks

Just as I was starting to enjoy it :argh:

I guess I'll go for a T-54 instead, that's one line that's not getting nerfed any time soon.

[gunnars1]

Today, while i enjoyed watching my lorraine take control of itself because of lag and ramming aimlessly into unsuspecting friendly tanks, i had a vision, what if wargaymen would spend their money on improved servers instead of the gallons of vodka that fuel their needs to nerf tanks which their brain-dead fanbase find to hard to fight back at, even if they have 40mm of frontal armor, at tier 8.

I'm wondering if I should use my 30k free XP to skip the AMX40 and have half progress on the 12t to the 13 75

rather than use it for the T20 grind; (which I'm halfway to the Pershing on) as I actually DO enjoy the T20 grind as of late, and I can always grind on my fun tanks that give me free XP.

what could go wrong

[Bowser_nl]

Just had the best shot ever on the KV. Sniped a tiny light tank while going full speed downhill with the 152mm gun.

[JETFIGHTER5]

Tank goodness a new thread.

By the way, T-34 or T-34-85? I'm fine with both hit and run and lining up a shot, but I prefer the latter. Which tank is pretty good and won't be screwed over by matchmaking as much?

both of them get screwed my MM, but the 34-85 has the d10t which is decent for sniping
t-34/57 is more of a scouty medium

Both are great tanks, but if you're more into sniping you should go German.

12t get! It's stock except the gun, which is the best right now
