Yeah the worst part of the higher tiers is the starting equipment of the tanks. It was brutal going up against 9 and 10s with the little peashooter you start with

Don't even want to hear it. I just finished the grind to the 120 on my tier 9 British conquorer. The stock gun does 200 dmg a shot. At tier 9.

My tier 6 German vk30.01p does 300-350 a shot with its 10.5.

They made some of the medium tier 9 guns weaker too. My Leo PTA tier 8 gun used to do 350 damage now it does 225.
I wish they had premium tier 10 tanks.

I'm about 120k experience away from my second tier 10. The t34 tier 8 is my go to premium for silver grinds. Avg about 75k silver a game in it. The tog ii is a good silver earner on the right maps if you're top tier. Probably Avg around 50k silver in that

I used to play it a lot but don't play nearly as much, the end game has gotten worse and worse and is driving a lot of the top players away.

Feel free to add me on PC, I still sometimes play time-to-time: _Colonel

I would but my broke arse is on ps4. Don't have the money for a computer. Once I do get a gaming comp I don't think I can do the grind all over again Haha.

it's 100% pay to win

There are some tanks you can buy with gold that are super OP. And it comes fully stocked.

And w/o a monthly dealio, ur grinding and in some battles losing silver, that you desperately need.

You're 100% wrong. Premium tanks are not super OP, they just help you make credits faster. And you don't need to go premium either to make credits, you play Tier 8 and lower if you want to make credits without going premium.

Yes, its a much longer grind but you can play and win without paying.

I play WoT Blitz. Have never done the big game. Can I port my profile/tanks over from Blitz?

I'm pretty sure you can't. They are all separate, no ability to merge accounts

I live in Alabama, I'm only 25, my son-in-law is 12.

That's not too old to play games is it?


ETA - That's a joke of course.

Started playing computer games in the 80's.
I guess as a software developer I was naturally drawn to it in the early years of computer gaming. One of my earliest jobs after college and just before I served in the Army had me playing Dungeons and Dragons to learn about fantasy gaming. In order to translate that to the computer.

My father is 75 years old and plays games. His game at the moment is Battlefield I. "Nothing like sniping some snot nose punk noobs."

...or so he tells me.

Uh no, while ur grinding it out, they are going from tier 7 to 8, to 9, to tier 10, buy buying gold and turning it into tank exp.

U could grind for months and not get to tier9, they went from 1 to 10, w/o even a battle, with gold buying exp.


that is pay to win, they don't even have to face 1 battle to move from 1 to 10, if they buy enough gold.

I disagree. While it may be pay-to-end-game, it isn't pay to win.

A new player can buy a brand new premium tank with a fully trained crew and I can still kill his tank and his team can still lose.

Purchasing a premium tank gives no advantage over a player that's never paid a penny to play.

I own one premium tank - a Tier V heavy, and it has zero advantage over the other Tier V heavies I earned through experience, in fact it's the only Tier V heavy I own with a win rate below 50% and 100 plus matches.

Kv220? Thing is impenetrable with a 35 degree hull angle if you're top tier. Stalins wall with a pea shooter
