You and your cruise control obsession

Next you'll be wanting Italian tanks in-game!

We have Italian planes, why not the tonks?

Actually, I'd vote for Italian tonks to be put in game.

On February 6–7, the British offensive penetrated so far that the Babini Brigade sought to open a breach in the British lines at Beda Fomm in an effort to allow cut-off Italian troops to retreat along the Libyan coast. The brigade's action was unsuccessful and all 20 of their tanks were lost. The last six surviving tanks entered a field near the local British command post. They were destroyed one after another by a single 2pdr anti-tank gun

They'd make for good cannon-fodder

*ALERT*

For anyone who's interested - there's a discount on Premium War Thunder accounts for 90 days, or 365 days - 50% off!

Which makes a year's premium account about £23 - probably worth it to cut down on le grinding times if you're enjoying the game.

If you had 10k Golden Eagles what would you buy (already have 7 crew slots in 5 nations + 180d of premium remaining).

If you don't already have it, but the Typhoon Mk1b pack. Because it's utterly magnificent, and horrendously abuses anything which comes near it!

(Not sure if you can use Eagles to buy those packs?)

What do you play most? Tanks or planes?

Also.... Gaijin..... what the actual ****?

Do you even *LOOK* at your own game?? :confused:

Can't buy the bundles with eagles

I play planes the most but starting to play tanks more.

Im torn between:

Buying some crew slots + a few cheap premium planes (on discount this weekend as well)
Spamming crew slots
Buying a Calliope
Buying some other premium tanks

Buying a Calliope

Don't. Because this will happen.

As for what to buy, there's nothing really that exciting in the American tank lineup, although the BTD-1 could be good as it's a bit of a trollplane, packing 2 cannons.

I'd recommend getting either the SMK, or the T35, or both. Yes they're big and slow and ponderous, but does anything else pack a 76mm cannon at BR 1.3?

In-game, if you look under 'Shop' at the top right, and then drop down to 'Premium Account' you'll see the 50% off.

Click through there and it'll let you buy it if you have enough Eagles.

Ah, I see, thanks. Don't have enough Eagles though, and they aren't discounted

there's a couple of squad applications in game, but can those that have applied just post in here to confirm they are genuine applications

From my experience, they never are / will be. The only thing you get is discounts in-game, but there's no massive rush to grab the discounts as they're on till the 12th.

Kutter · 10 May 2015 at 12:51

Brain/Kwango the 2 applications are from sargara, who posts on here and zefan( don ).

Thekwango · 10 May 2015 at 12:58

4x4Tank tourney till the 12!!

Karateyid · 10 May 2015 at 14:13

Finally buckled and bought premium for a year at half price.. Should help me grind some tanks up

Zefan · 10 May 2015 at 15:42

I can confirm, I applied to the squadron. I only really play aircraft though!

SarGara · 10 May 2015 at 17:59

I also applied for the Squadron in game if someone could do the honours please.
