I applaud the *idea* behind the missions. Get tanks playing their roles. Stop HTs camping, make LTs scout without suiciding.

But they need to look at *why* tanks weren't playing their roles. The answer is simple:

Gold ammo and power creep.

Gold ammo stopped meds having to flank. Why bother getting flank shots on the T10 HT when you can load gold and snipe through the front of a E100 turret. It even meant that some LTs could pen HTs from the front as well.

Power creep made camping/sniping essential. Why expose yourself to a flanking manoeuvre when you could find yourself being clipped by a auto-loading TD that never even de-cloaks. I'd be happy to risk one shot if it means getting behind the enemy. But being clipped is no fun at all. Far safer to stay in cover and snipe using gold.

WGs response *should* have been to apologise, admit they got it wrong. Get rid of gold ammo. Get rid of stupid TDs like the wft-e100. Sure 75% of the time they get spotted and killed, but that 1 game in 4 just wrecks the game play.

Bah-humbug.
 
I hate "some" of the missions. They should be trying to promote or reward players for having good games or outstanding performance, they should NOT be rewarding players for ramming FFS! Why.

@Hodders have you seen that guy on the previous page asking for a clan invite?

Some of the missions seem to promote bad play though, more of the light tank ones should involve spotting and staying hidden. They could have also put more of the 'do x damage within x meters' missions for the heavies. Some of the ideas are actually really good, but then they throw in one like 'set a vehicle on fire' or 'ram an enemy vehicle to death' in the mediums, which will completely change how someone plays.

Am I missing something about mission MT-6

"cause damage to vehicles of three types"

cripple an AT-8 (TD)
destroy a KV-1 (heavy)
destroy a Sherman III (medium)

No award...???


as an aside I've struggled killing other Sherman Jumbos in mine but that Firefly went down like it was made of cheese.
 
Not sure about the medium one but i'm struggling to get the LT-6, spot 2 vehicles and survive. I've been spotting my arse off and surviving even in some losses and still cant get it.

Last match before writing this had me spotting 6, 2,894 damage, survived and again didn't get it.

Edit scratch that, i just got awarded it coming out of a match playing a Heavy :confused:

bitslice - I would hazard a guess that its cause you destroyed and didn't dmaage the med and heavy.

Recommendation is some sort of autoloader medium, for example I did it in my t45e1. I put my first 4 shells in to 4 different tanks (A M41, a T57, a Panther 2 and RHM) Job done :)

Then it was a case of sitting back almost and trying to help the team win.

Not sure if you guys have noticed - more people are talking about what missions there on and sometimes the teams seem to try to help each other achive them.

Not often but had it in 4 or 5 games I was in. Couple of guys form SRSLY were in there scout tanks and wanted the lt-15 mission, I was in arty with a couple of clan mates on there big td's. They asked and we obliged - 4 shells from the jpe100 and 3 arty shots from me - job done for them :)
 
So, anyone been trying out the winter mode? I can't help but feel that the mammoth is the tank to do it in. 4k damage or more is pretty common, whilst both the TD and light seem much more difficult.

Makes a nice break from mission struggles.
 
Yeah I did have a play of the Winter games last night, easy to make 10,000 silver credits per match (3 minutes) and soon got the daily reward for completing 25 games (250,000 credits) easy money. The crew of each tank rapidly gains XP on skills so IF we do get to keep them its a great game :)
 
Hope they leave the winter mode in really, nice break from the actual game when it starts to get a bit frustrating.

Also I've got a little tip for the winter missions, if you pull a crew from any tank of that nation and put them in the tank, they will get the increased xp. I put my 13 90 crew in to the polar bear, which brings the crew down to 50% but if you do the 4k damage you get the credits and xp... worth it!

You get to keep the crew, also the XP generated gets allocated to the corresponding t1 of the tank line.
