Mystery Tank Redux Contest Results!

Contest Link

Observations

So unfortunately there weren't many entries (only 6 entries), so figuring out who got the most answers right wasn't hard, but a lot of the people who entered already had the tanks, so the struggle was finding out who was eligible and who was not. Due to the headaches that it induced, and the kindness of those who already had the tanks, I omitted them from the top rewards, but will still be listing them in the standings.

Interestingly, the number that was answered incorrectly the most was number #4, the Centurion AX (link to the album) so that was interesting.

Answers

So the answers to this were as follows:

  1. Freedom
  2. The Equalizer
  3. Vanquisher AC I
  4. Centurion AX
  5. Tortoise
  6. Pz. II J PS
  7. Aguila
  8. GuP
  9. T-72BU
  10. Begleitpanzer 57
  11. Rakjpz 2
  12. Ignis Purgatio
  13. Peace Sells
  14. M60A3
  15. M1A2 Abrams
  16. M60A2
  17. Jg. Pz. E 100
  18. Sturmtiger
  19. Centurion MK. 5 AVRE
  20. Strv 103B
  21. T95
  22. Maus
  23. Teefbreaka
  24. K1
  25. Minuteman

Results

So like I said above, the players that already had the tanks had to be omitted to make this easier, but next time I will have a better way to solve this issue in the future. Anyways, on to the winners.

So in first place, we actually had a tie, even managing to tie with bonus points, so I had to do a random drawing to break the tie. Unfortunately, they both had the tanks, so they agreed to give up the tanks for the runner-ups, so I want to give a huge shoutout to u/ERR_5h0wt1m3 & u/PralineComplete for getting the answers perfectly (I'm going to have to make a much more difficult one next time!). In third place, we had u/JozsF with a total of 21.5 points (You got the right tank official designation on one, but the wrong in-game name)! Unfortunately, he also had both tanks, so he will have to be omitted as well. Unfortunately, the way these giveaways work, you don't get the silver if you already have the tank (though I still entered all of y'all into the random drawing for the premium time). So in the end, the standings are:

  1. In First Place, with a total of 21 points, we have u/Serious_Solid_4676! He has agreed to make a trade so he will be earning the Caernarvon AX, British Tier 8 Heavy Tank!
  2. In Second Place, with a total of 17 points, we have u/Justanotherguy_3276! He has agreed to trade the Caernarvon AX for the Lycan, American Tier 7 Light Tank.
  3. In Third Place, with a total of 8 points we have u/ADWgacaRose! He will be earning the Generals War Chest!
  4. As for the random drawing, we have u/ERR_5h0wt1m3! He will be earning the 7 days of premium time!

As with all giveaways, I will be giving this information to the Wargaming and it is up to them when these rewards will be credited to y'all's accounts. I may also be reaching out to y'all to assist me with coming up with an idea for November's giveaway.

Now that the dust has settled... has Cold War been yet another nail in the coffin - or a lifesaver?

I don't know if I really can say that cold war did anything besides speed up the end of this game. Look at the most recent update in how utterly ridiculous it is. Clearly they don't care anymore they just want to squeeze this lemon for the last little bit of juice that remains and shut down the servers as soon as the math doesn't work out in their favor.

I think Cold War among every other mistake that has been made which there were many huge mistakes ... was the most damaging one for the game's health

Prior to this and 6.0 in general, there was just Xbox servers and Playstation servers which were separate and did not cross over. At that time they're still where no bots at all in the game. It wasn't that they just weren't needed... they didn't even exist. Shortly thereafter with Cold War being added in and the two gaming consoles combined we have these horrifically stupid bots in our tier 10 lobbies on Friday and Saturday nights that's no joke.

I think this game could have had a healthier recovery had they just not split the player base between Cold War and World War ii. What's really interesting is the payout discrepancy between the two game modes. You could basically load in and drive your tank off of a cliff in Cold War and you'd still come out with 10,000 Plus silver versus doing a pretty good game with 3,000 damage in surviving in a tier 10 match World War II and you're down 50K silver. They basically had to bribe people in order to get folks into cold war.

I want this game to survive and thrive but I just get the feeling now that it's circling the drain, am I wrong? I sincerely hope so. Let me know what you think.

Wiesel 1 MK Prototype: Tank review by Zorin

Weasel MK 1 Proto: 

Note: During the games taken to review this tank, several of said games had a high population of this tank, heavily affecting normal gameplay experience and may be reflected in the opinions of this review. 

Pros: 

  • The Best Camo
  • Very small size
  • Good clip damage potential. 
  • Great View range
  • Good gun elevation angles
  • Good forward top speed
  • Pretty decent base accuracy
  • High silver bonus

Cons: 

  • little armor
  • Very weak to ram damage
  • Very low weight
  • Lower end HP
  • Limited pen
  • Somewhat slow hull traverse for its speed. 
  • Somewhat meh dispersion values with no access to stabilizer

Armor: 

  • Your armor is your puny size and ability to sneak up and pick pocket other tanks without them noticing. 
  • Well its not exactly right. The gun breach has 140mm of armor. Not sure why, maybe a typo. The tank also has quite a bit of annoying spaced armor that's 5mm or so yet it blocks HE ammo. 

Gameplay:

  • If you played the FV series of UK lights, it's not too far off. You do have a slower top speed but are far greater of a threat when you shoot. If you played the Weasel TOW before the ATGM changes its also not that far off when performing drive bys. 
  • You can have several play styles. The tank is one of the best scouts in the game. With game breaking camo and a very respectable base VR of 570. With a full camo build, only proxy spotting will light you up (or shooting). 
  • The other style is a hit and run assassin. Due to the ability to go anywhere on the map, the clip potential of over 2k allows you rend asunder the vulnerable parts. You don't even need to be that close, as while the dispersion is a tad high, your base accuracy is pretty decent. 
  • Shooting on the move is okay due to the amount of shoots your putting out, however due to the limited ammo only 700 shots, i would recommend avoiding this for the most part. 
    • When fighting other lights, this may be the only way due to how hectic knife fights can be. Even more so when fighting others of this tank. (during the review period i found this experience to be quite annoying and preferred to just drive to elsewhere) 
  • Due to its low weight, be cautious when driving as any hill can easily leave you airborne. This can lead to a very quick death if not at least major damage to your limited HP. 
  • Loadout: 
    • Equipment: Camo, traction system. Final slot? Eh pick something, i went with vents to help with the accuracy. 
    • Consumables, due to how absurd base camo, you could go without smoke and instead run fuel to have top speed. I went back n forth as i was often time out spotted by other wiesels

Cosmetics: 

  • Not too much to work with, it's a small tank. It is however pretty detailed. 
  • I do like the dual feed for the 20mm. In terms of looks of the guns in game I think its one of the coolest. 

General Thoughts: 

  • If a tank is this lightly armored, I wish they wouldn't model spaced armor. Why would 5mm block 105mm HE ammo when the armor behind it is also only 5mm. 
  • I'm really not sure this was a good idea to add this to the game. The Weisel Tow was already a controversial tank, so having a version that has even higher camo with a more flexible gun is a dubious idea to me. 
  • Having the clip size being 100, while accurate is another idea I'm iffy on. If this only had a 50 or 60 round clip, i think it would be more “acceptable”. True it would still be quite dangerous, just it wouldn't be toxic. Any lightly armored tank such as a leopard, M113, obj 120 are so vulnerable to this running up and clipping it. 
  • I'm not sure why this had a higher base camo than the Wiesel TOW, considering that's a TD and those naturally gain a base bonus.  
  • Overall yea it's kinda OP. Though its arguably its more in the nature of “broken” due to its camo and assassination ability. 

Buy?

  • Its a mid Era E2 tank, thus 11k. Naturally somewhat high. 
  • It is a fun tank, just not a healthy one in my opinion. I can't say its a good purchase initially due to the population of them making it awkward. 
  • I would certainly recommend this when it goes latter on sale, even more so if it has a discount. 
  • I'm personally on the fence on buying it myself. While it is German, it is also quite a controversial tank.

P.s

  • If you were to change this tank, what would you do in details?

SACKS Clan Recruiting CW Wiesel Tankers

The SACKS clan is recruiting Cold War Wiesel Tankers. Do you enjoy ruining era 2 for all? Can you Wolfpack with the best of them? Does the ding sound of receiving hate mail after you put in a hard work on the last match turn you on? Do you play evening’s mountain or west coast time? Then we have the clan for you. We are accepting applications and looking to put SACKS on the podium. No racists or haters please. You know who you are.

[image] how can I check the stats of a gun/module that I’ve unlocked but not yet purchased?

I have unlocked the 15cm pak L/29.5 which is the 2nd gun out of 4. It is not compatible because I need to change the turret too and so the space that might normally tell me stats is occupied with the red text.

FYI; I know that I should probably wait until I get the 3rd gun, 12.8cm L/61, but I would like to figure out how to check module stats still please

Do these players even know that fall damage exists?

In the last 10 or 20 matches I played in Cold War, nearly all of them had an FV101 or an FV107 die by accidental suicide. In some cases, they die less than a minute after the match begins!

Even worse was a guy in a medium tank who somehow got stuck in a pit of rocks and was unable to get himself out. I think he died trying to climb out by falling back in.

Cold War Conway or Charioteer?

I sold my Charioteer and Conway to get money to buy the FV4005. Now, I'm thinking about repurchasing one of them. Do y'all think the Charioteer or the Conway would be the better choice?

Weasel is broken and you're an idiot if you think otherwise.

Title. Era 2 is broken the weasel is running every game. You are an absolute moron if you think these things are fine and clearly you're part of the problem. I'm over it, my friends are over it, every comment I see shows everyone is over it. Remove and rework WG you know it's a problem you money grubbing jackasses!

Where are the German armoured cars.

I find it kind of strange that the Puma and the other Sd. Kfz armoured cars aren't in the game. Seeing as there are at least 4 puma variants and multiple 20mm armoured 4-8 wheeler cars you'd think wargaming would look at them first (let alone any blueprint armoured cars) to me it's just very strange. I would consider them more well known then the EBR and the British wheeled PC has.

(Yes I know wheeled vehicles are a nuisance. But they are here to stay anyway so let's get a line of them that are actually more well known.)

Best way to find friends for platoon

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I couldn't see info in the wiki. I've been playing a while and think I can hold my own as well as the next player. One thing still unclear is how to platoon. I don't know anyone else who plays WoT console, so where would be the best place to find friends for platoon? Also what are best settings to invite or be invited to be friends after pressing the "Friends" pad on controller? Thanks!

WG, this is getting absolutely absurd

Now we have tanks with dual missile launchers reloading after firing the first missile. Seriously, how the hell do you guys keep screwing up the simplest things every single update.

So if you have a Bradley or any other twin missile tanks, prepare to only be able to fire one and then go on a lengthy reload.

3 MOE #59 - Dragon Type 62

Another grind finished on my mission to 3 mark all the WW2 Hero tanks. This time its the Dragon Type 62.

A typical chinese quasi-medium LT. It plays the scout role pretty well, the concealment is average and mobility is good. It shines played as a small medium tank mid to late game more than it does as a traditional scout.

As a free haloween giveaway theres nothing I can complain about. The Lycan is better as a T7 scout, though it has a higher skill ceiling before it becomes amazing.

Overall I quite enjoyed this grind, thats now 4 of the Haloween tanks 3 marked, still working through the rest.

Am I the only one who wants to see the IS-7 added as a Heavy Tank?

The IS-7 heavy tank design began in Leningrad in 1945 by Nikolai Fedorovich Shashmurin. Weighing 68 tonnes, thickly armoured and armed with a 130mm S-70 long-barrelled gun, it was the largest and heaviest member of the IS family and one of the most advanced heavy tank designs.
