The link says the discount ends.

I complain about their information policy and that I can never rely on them even when it comes to simple documentation.

The current situation is ok for me, but there will soon be huge nerfs, which are in the air. Since I started before 2013 I don't know why you bully me for being sceptical. Only now they made it at least possible to catch up in gold items (which aren't gold items). Time is money, a proverb says. And tier Xs are costly to maintain.

I would also say that WG admitted it, if I could trust any source, but I have to do more reading.

Bottom line: current situation is ok.

Because premium tanks start with a 50% crew, that's why.

I am really disliking the SU-85. It feels weaker than the SU-85B :|

I mean, it's an upgrade I suppose, but not a very noticeable one.

My main gripe is that my damage is pretty much the exact same - while health of all tanks seems to have doubled. Now, I have a 122m available which does like 500 damage a shot and is very nice... except it only has like 60 penetration and as such never seems to land a hit on anything.

And oh god, the horrible accuracy of the 122m... plus it never seems to hit for anywhere close to the full 500 damage. I usually only hit around 150, which is what the 85m hits for nearly every time and with better accuracy and twice the penetration. Am I really supposed to be using the same gun I used last tier on this tank? :[

I was originally going to rush to the T6 tank but then I realized getting 26k experience is going to take a while at my current rate of about 1k an hour. So, instead I opted to go ahead and upgrade the SU-85 a bit and just farm credits here during the 4th of July weekend.

I picked the derp gun because I felt like I couldn't kill anything with the 85mm I was using (stock one). 50-120 damage a shot on average when most tanks I'm being matched against are T6/T7 with like 800+ HP and can also shoot me for 300+ damage a shot. I pretty much get one shot off then die because they do twice my damage and four times my health. I was hoping the 122mm would alleviate that a bit since it would only take 1-2 shots to kill most tanks. However, the awful accuracy and low penetration make it worse than the 85mm.

I'm just at a loss for what to do. If I get a match with other Tier 5s I do just fine... but 90% of my games involve me being at the very bottom of the list against a bunch of Tier 7s that I can't even damage. Seems like the only T5s that have any success at all are the KV-1s.

This is going to sound like a whine-story, and it is

It's so unbelievable, this evening, I've won only 8 games, out of 47. I don't consider myself a bad player at all; 53% @4k games and consistent above average damage. F.e. some games in my French T7 TD, I've lost 9 games straight in a row with it. Considering most games have an almost 50% change of winning, this would be a 1:512 chance of happening. But that pales in comparison with my VK16.02 Leopard, 16 straight losses (that's an estimate 0.0015% chance of ever occuring!). I'm unsure whether I'll ever be able to raise it's winratio above 50% again after today

These kind of days really make me depressed.


But to add something to this thread that is a bit more helpfull. This game is highly moddable and many mods have been created already. The most usefull would, imho, the XVM-mod. Or "Extended Visualization Mod". Among other things, this makes the minimap show the last known position of enemy tanks and displays your viewing range. Very useful! It's downloadable here and English instructions are included.

Rushing to new tanks wont do you no good really, just because you get higher tiers doesnt mean you will do better since you will get put against higher tier tanks.
Then again, if you dont like the tank you should probably try some other tank. The game is about having fun, and if you dont like the tank then you wont have fun.
If you dont like the SU85 then you probably wont like any of the other tanks in that tank tree.


As I said, theres no point using HE ammo in derp guns. You wont pen anything and you will do very low damage when you dont pen.
The top 85 mm gun is very good for its tier, the tank is way better with that gun equipped.



The matchmaking is random, sometimes you are lowest tier. That is the same for all tanks except the absolute top tiers.
It may feel like you are always bottom tier, but Im sure its not the case.
The KV1 is nice, but has its negative sides as well. Mostly its terrible speed.

It would be interesting to see a replay of yours to see how you play. Since I had a great time in the SU85 (60% winrate only solo play) I dont know why you arent having much success in it.

Summer holidays are on, expect 2 months of terrrrible. The good news is that roughly 50% of the time the enemy team will be more terrible than your own.
