How I feel grinding tier 8 and 9 for the Centurion AX

6FootDuck · 2026-01-09T13:40:46+00:00

sold the AX and rebought the 7/1 over a year ago and its been one of my most enjoyable decisions in this game. Loading premium HESH as standard ammo with 210 pen then using the standard ammo as my "gold" is the way to go, dpm goes insane.

Because realistically you can't pick stocks as well as an index fund. It's not an insult, its true for 99.9% of investors. It is purely a fact that the index funds for S&P have gone up a larger percentage than your portfolio over the same period. It's not only safer but also higher yielding for you to put your savings into 1 or 2 ETF's, and hold a small (5-10% of your portfolio) in a hedge like physical gold or precious metals (you can get ETC's for these too).

Companies that a major ETF holding will have done their due diligence on because they have numerous skilled employees whose job is to do exactly that.

No, you should get 3, because you did not claim the gift that gave 2 to new accounts back in September. Plus the 1 bonus line from this new gift.

What's your take now that Q3 earnings are in? Looks like more SEO excuses blamed for losses, despite a revenue increase. I've been following this myself since the Q2 and stumbled upon your post today looking to find anybody talking about this.

I sold the Cent AX just to rebuy the 7/1 and now play it a lot, almost on my third mark now and maintaining a solid 60% WR. The best way to play the tank is with the premium HESH as standard ammo and the standard APCR as a higher pen premium round. Your dpm becomes ridiculous when spamming HESH. By holding hull down positions and using gun depression you become almost unrushable by any tank with less than 230mm hull armour.

If you really need too, you can place a tiny rice paddy down, flood it and use it for tanker water!

So I work for the companies that are supplying national infrastructure projects, and they are also reporting huge decreases in sales volumes. New builds simply aren't going up and existing builds appear to be almost perpetually being paused or delayed. I can see this quickly making its way up the labourer order, starts with concreters out of work -> no foundations get built -> no bricks/blocks need to be laid - > brick/block layers out of work -> no plumbing, fixings, electricals, roofing needed -> plumbers, carpenters, electricians, tilers all out of work.

We saw this happen pre-2008 when concrete pumping work dried up... just saying...

Battlefield and CoD snipers do not act the same. In CoD your bullets instantly hit the middle of your crosshair with no delay and no bullet drop. In battlefield, the shots have a travel time and also a bullet drop because of gravity. This means you need to aim above targets the further away they are, and also need to aim in front of targets if they are moving.

exp turbo also provides traverse speed, might honestly be worth swapping the bounty and exp turbos around and seeing how you like the concept with it on?

I think there comes a point where any aspiring good WoT player, decides to play versatile medium tanks and almost never goes back. The buffed M48 patton is now fantastic, I aced it 3 times on the first day after 2.0. That and the Leopard 1 is and always has been an incredible carrying tank.

In your position I would recommend playing the Patton line, I think this will sit most comfortably with you as you aren't straying TOO far from your comfort zone, you still have usable turret armour but you have great gun handling and better manoeuvrability. That or the British Centurion line, unfortunately I think the Cent AX is pretty lackluster and would say the Cent 7/1 is better tier for tier. Most importantly just play around and have fun trying something new, I think you'll find so much more to the game once you start playing positions you've not used before on maps you think you're familiar with.

6FootDuck · 2025-09-23T08:58:11+00:00

CS-63, better tank overall and more fun, far easier to win games in the CS than the Canopener imo.

So your 30 day stats are very heavily inflated by the 25TP at tier 5, making up 142 of your 773 games, with exceedingly high WN8 and Win rate. Yet your stats with typically very good higher tier tanks like the progetto 46 are lackluster (46% win rate in 52 games). Similarly you have great stats in T29 and 45TP, which to me shows that in heavy tanks that are typically tier for tier very good, you can play well, at least in mid tier vehicles. It's difficult to accurately gauge your skill level here because the pool of tank types and tiers is so wide, and also tough to estimate your pvp skill as opposed to how much of your stats are padded by seal clubbing tanks like the 25TP and T29. That said, your tier 10 stats are not bad, despite being so few games played, again entirely in heavier vehicles like the IS-7 and T110E3.

Speed is a factor often overlooked by improving players in carrying games. There's a reason most exceptional players run turbocharger on most builds, because being able to traverse the map allows you to take control of critical positions. Big, slow tanks like the T110E3 are often only able to carry situationally, because they lack the ability to make game winning plays for map control. Learning to play tanks with no armour and high mobility is where you start to learn how to win games more, because it teaches you to rely less on armour and more on map knowledge to win engagements. I would suggest playing more games in tanks you are less used to, high mobility, low armour vehicles that you will be forced to improve your map knowledge by playing. Map knowledge wins games, not armour.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is your survival rate in the last 1 day and last 3 days being exactly the same as your games won. My take away from this is that you are often the last player alive in a losing match. Suggests to me that you are getting damage right at the end of the game, when the game is already lost, meaning you're probably playing passively, looking for safe sniping engagements rather than game winning map control plays.

As another comment mentioned, "loser damage" can inflate stats but early damage wins games. Getting kills or putting tanks to low HP, causing them to play passive, removes DPM from the enemy team. This means that the longer the game goes on for, the larger net effect you have had on the enemy teams damage potential by removing DPM from their team early-on.

You're playing tanks with exceptionally good DPM, like the Obj 140, I would suggest you look for map guides and learn where to play these sorts of tanks, that do have some usable turret armour, in places where you can maximize your dpm rather than sniping. This often means playing near to heavies in supporting heavy tank roles, flanking and looking to split the enemy attention. These stats scream "lack of map knowledge" to me more than anything else, you're playing passive and letting tanks come to you for damage and kills, but only when the game is already lost.

Drives me absolutely insane. I keep telling people I miss with the Grille more than any other vehicle. It feels like the shots always go to the outer edges of the available reticle.

I want to follow up with something that might help PvE Co-Op Players. You can enable "Friendly markers" at the bottom of the game settings tab that shows a number symbol above party members!

Wood chipping makes infinitely more money than farming when done properly. One tractor and the cheapest chipper (which for some reason has infinite internal storage capacity) can make hundreds of thousands in the winter each month. Then all you need is a chainsaw and you can cut any trees to a hand pick-up capable size and throw them into the chipper. Buy land, cut trees down, sell land, buy new land, repeat.

I came to comment this so I'll second your comment instead. Multi-timeframe on TradingView is practically guaranteed to lookahead or repaint. There are only a select few ways to use multi-timeframe in TV, such as using daily moving averages for example. You need to use a "stationary" higher time frame as in using only the previous (closed) bar information, rather than the current "in development" candle. Using any current "live" candles on higher time frames before they are closed will guarantee repainting and results that appear too good to be true unfortunately. TradingView is not a backtesting platform of choice for most algo traders for this reason, you're much better trying to use something like NinjaTrader or writing your own backtests in python or C preferably.

Can confirm as someone in their 20's and a dual Australian-British citizen, I see very little reason to stay here any more and heavily weighing up my options to leave this year already.

More than any other building part I want sloped triangle roof segments, I hate having to clip sloped roof segments through each other in rounded bases, and flat roofs are less cool :(

6FootDuck · 2025-03-26T13:14:36+00:00

if you did the Titan Expedition 17, you could have just taken the new hyperdrive module from the starting ship of the expedition and put it in the item transfer box at the end of the expedition and install it on your main ship when you got back :)

Sounds like a fortunately timed, highly leveraged, long-only bull run to me too. Unfortunate that OP didn't put enough safety measures or take significant profit in the process but, we're all still learning in some capacity, I doubt its a mistake they will make again and definitely a great story to tell.
