I managed to accidentally get an Ace Tanker in my little T-34 for the first time in years (don't use it much these days), not bad as until I hit the 6th kill I was not really worried about winning, just wanted my 10 kills. Went on to reset the cap and gain two more kills, brought me 1 kill off my target, two games later, did 5...

Probably time to dust off some of my higher tier TDs and the WZ-111-1-4 for tonight's wotting.

Congrats. Last nights was fairly easy again. They can't stay this easy though can they?

So 20,000 xp today. Bit rubbish if you are grinding lower tier tanks.

So 5 wins, 10 kills, 15k damage, 20k xp - the trend is getting harder.....

Mehs it's not hard if you have a premium account, do all the 2x, use premium tanks and have any XP reserves.

I hope someone doesn't mind answering this, but what is World of Tanks like compared to War Thunder? I played War Thunder for a while up until mid-last year, enjoying it even though the grind was long and slow. The OcUK War Thunder forum post has also died since then. Having a quick look at War Thunder, the grind appears even slower and longer (which isn't a big problem for me), and the re-balancing and bias is still there. So, how does World of Tanks compare?

Just realised I've collected 135 reserves over last year and haven't used any!

Yeah I bagged over a hundred just during the Christmas period - they were giving them away wholesale at that time..

Just finished the 20k, roll on the next challenge.

Was back in work today so just starting the XP grind, shouldn't be too hard with premiums... famous last words and all that !

Just FYI we're no unfriendly here, I just haven't played War Thunder so can't comment. From what I've seen in the odd videos this is a lot more arcade and HP based when it comes to destroying the enemy. Can't really knock out a tank by penetrating it in a certain place like in War Thunder bar a relatively rare ammo rack kill or setting a tank on fire.

There are balance issues and bias but you can mostly live with them (or just buy the OP premium tanks

), also have a new matchmaker coming in next patch and big artillery changes which should be interesting.

Whats today's task? - At work so can't access the WoT site,

neoboy · 16 Mar 2017 at 10:12

10 wins and be top 10 in the matches.

it1uk · 16 Mar 2017 at 12:00

Done the XP grind last night, used a couple of boosts and done it in 5 games which was great and then the rest of the night was a disaster!! lol

Hope tonights session is better.

Thanks for the reply. I may have a look at it.

Should be plenty of invite codes about with premium time, gold and tanks for a few £.

just Scott · 17 Mar 2017 at 09:54

2000 damage in 10 games, don't think that's doable for me.

Unless I played all day which I can't today.

My best tank is the T20, it's the only tank I ever do remotely decent in as it's my only tank with 6th sense.

neoboy · 17 Mar 2017 at 10:21

Don't have that many high tier vehicles to do this reliably in. Would be a doddle with arty but I only have a couple T7 pieces.

Scotspaul · 17 Mar 2017 at 10:39

I logged on this morning before work to see what the task was and couldn't resist a quick game. Full Tier 10 fields on both sides.
Going to be an interesting/expensive night...

neoboy · 17 Mar 2017 at 11:52

I've actually completely stopped playing heavy tanks over last 3 months but will have to fire up my T-10, M-103 and E75 for missions today.

Also AMX 13 90 is once again a detestable piece of ****.

Hodders · 17 Mar 2017 at 11:54

This where the missions get unfair. If you've got a T10 HT/TD with 750 alpha or some fast clip autoloaders it all looks a lot easier than if you are trying to get your 1st T8 premium and have T6 max.

Looks like a E100/Obj268/BatChat sort of day.....

Really should be Tier*200 (T5 min) or include spotting damage to make scouts an option.

neoboy · 17 Mar 2017 at 12:04

Yeah I got 10 wins no problem for the St Patrick's special playing T8 and below, but have 2 games done with over 2k damage.
