Interested in playing a completely free-to-play tank MMO? There is no need to look any further, as World of Tanks has what you're looking for! If you have even the slightest interest in tanks or even MMOs, we're sure this game will be a hit for you!]

About the game:
World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare. Throw yourself into the epic tank battles of World War II with other steel cowboys all over the world. Your arsenal includes more than 150 armored vehicles from America, Germany, China, France and the Soviet Union, carefully detailed with historical accuracy glorious Russian bias!

A flexible system of authentic vehicle upgrade and development allows you to try any of the vehicles and weapons in the game. Whether you prefer to exhaust your foes with fast and maneuverable light tanks, make deep breaches in enemy lines with all-purpose medium tanks, use the force of giant tanks to eliminate opposing armored forces with heavy tanks, or become a heavy sniper with long-range howitzers (artillery), each type of tank has its own advantages and can be extremely effective when operated by a true tank ace.

But being a great tank commander alone isn't enough to win! In the World of Tanks, it’s all about teamwork. Victory is achieved by combining your combat skills with those of the other members of your team, each playing their own role on the battlefield (See thread title). 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.

First toast to the new thread.

Please don't even scare me with that.

Seriously if they pull that thing off I will just play the stock IS-8 and get the gun on it before playing IS-4 a single time.

Better tier 9 with tier 8's gun than tier 10 with tier 7s gun.

nah you should go get the KV and then get the S-51 and go down the SPG line

[Squarebob]

Sadness for the first page.

Could you add wot-dossier.appspot.com to the op?

Done. Also I think the OP is a bit less clusterfuck thanks to thumbnailed pitures and tables.

[Orkel]

Woo new thread.

Some news to fire it up: Province is moving to tier 1-2 matches only.

Thank fuck for that! It was getting boring having choose between camping or rushing straight down into the valley, then camping. The defense to which is also camping.

Holy hell the BatChat is unforgiving to play. I fucked up once and got overconfident and got promptly destroyed by everyone that could see me.

There won't be any of that in 7.3, stock gun on the KV-2 is the 122mm.

[Timebomb575]

Boring title

I propose World of Tanks: RAMMING SPEED

[Orkel]

Uh oh. Hellcat has a 52.32% global win ratio. That's 1% higher than the SU-100 and 4% higher than the failpanzer.

Nerfs incoming.

[Saza]

Shiiiiiiiit. I liked it.

[fishyfish777]

I'm surprised that the failpanzer even has a 48% winratio

[Apache249]

Why the new thread?

[lintz]

Last one got locked due to post/date limit.

[Bowser_nl]

Beat my old record of 11 kills with the KV, got 12 with a shitty T26 lol.



Should have been 14 too, the two tanks I damaged got nicked by some crappy T26 that fired only after i completely raped them to 10% hp twice.

[PvtTwinkletoes]

I'm ok with them making province a tier 1-2 map but for gods sake make it so when I'm in those tiers it's not the only map I get. Also new thread for men raging at virtual tanks.

From what I read, you get the IS-4 with the new gun if you have him in your garage.

Case 2. IS-4 is in the garage at substitution. All the rules as mentioned in Case 1 apply along with the following ones:
Players get the IS-4 of tier 10 with available and mounted 122mm “M-62-T2” gun without additional modules or consumables

[Orkel]

Anyone else always leave battle when Campania shows up?

[TheLolrus]

oh thank god campania will be tier 2 only

I'd like to, but those are always my T34 matches, so I just suffer through for the creds.

[Carnage2323]

Now if we could just get rid of Campinovka

Thing is that was also under the line "Along with all the possibilities from list A, player has the tank IS-4 in garage as well" or something.

Campinovka is nowhere near as bad as Campania.

Orkel posted:

If you're fast enough and have good enough front armor (IS-3, 7, T110) you can tank a hit or two to scuffle up the enemy team's hill before everyone gets set up and then do the corner trick to eliminate everyone on the hill, winning the game for your team

God forbid if you dont have decent front armor and speed like every other tank tho

Well lets just hope they'll do it in our favour.

[filipegroh]

Quick question about the KV-1 split, do I need to just have it on my garage or do I need to have it on my garage AND equipped with the KV2 turret + 152mm/107mm to receive free tank slots?

[Awesomecaek]

Just led my team to Komarin cap rush in my KV-5. We won at like 2 minute mark losing only 2 tanks while enemy lost 3.

Seriously, best tactic on that map, period.

From what I read ages ago, its just the turret you need.

[Awesomecaek]

You need the tank in the garage and mount the turret just to be sure. You certainly don't need the guns.

[goon165]

No you need The KV in your garage and You need the KV-2 turret researched to get the KV-2

N-12_Aden posted:

Komarin is still the worst map, Campania on lower tiers has been actually enjoyable because there's rarely arty and almost no one has enough viewrange to just fire across the valley. Then again when I say lower tier I mean Tetrach.

[dagoth_ur]

How much better is the T40 than the T82?
