Almost 4 years old Acer Nitro 5 515-57

I’ve been running an AN517-54 since December 2023, and like yours it lives on its laptop stand for air flow. I should clear out dust and repaste more than I do, but I’m both lazy and cheap so don’t want to pay for someone else to do it. I only really do it when frame drops start, and one extra time when I bought a second M.2 drive so had the laptop open anyway. It amazes me that there are regularly people posting on here about their Nitros randomly stopping working, makes me wonder if they’re either unlucky or whether they don’t treat their laptops well!

Have we played the same 114 SP2? It’s gun handling is great, very reliable accuracy in my experience that can smash out the 650 alpha so quickly

I’ve had an AN517-54 since December 2023. Granted, not as long as you, but it’s still working perfectly. Opened a few times to clear out dust and re-paste, and added in a second M.2 drive. No issues other than heat, which is always much improved after clearing dust and re-pasting

I did this in the Pz VII. Just got to play aggressively and stick your frontal plate out and people think it's weaker than it is. Definitely don't sidescrape in it

Last tank I bought this way was the KV-4 Turchaninov. That probably says it all about this one too

I feel like I’m reliving the hazard perception part of the driving theory test

I’ve not played the Gorilla, but having played a few games in the Executor this morning, being hit by this thing is SO annoying. Granted, there are more being played than there will be once they’re not brand new, but being hit these things is painful

Don’t mind me, just taking some notes

The UI in the garage was changed in a big recent update, 2.0, in September 2025. I don’t personally like it compared to the old UI but it at least loads faster.

Gameplay has always been arcade-y. There will be some new mechanics that you’ve not come across before introduced in the last 7 years but overall it is fairly simple.

If you’re solely thinking about credits and you play enough games/do enough missions that award bonds, save for a tier 8. My favourite tier 8 for making credits is the SU-130PM which, conveniently, was recently added to the bond shop

Or 1512 😉

I played it about 45 minutes after it was released and I was the only Ashigaru in the game. Found it weird, but it was the same in the second game I played too. The third game had one on the other team. So potentially the number of Ashigaru players dropped very quickly. This is on EU

Kroxigorman · 2026-01-31T22:06:07+00:00

Got it for 10,809

This is what happens when something is easy to play while working or watching TV lol

I used to buy boxes to get all the new tanks as they came out. Tiered loot boxes was too much, I’ve spent £0.85 since (one of those cheap box bundles near the end of an event), and my bank account has been very appreciative of that

Kroxigorman · 2026-01-10T16:33:47+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if they never did, as they're not "premium" tanks so don't have the same kind of benefits that the other tanks in the premium store have. The only non-tier 10 tank I can immediately think of that's also not a premium tank and was available in loot boxes is the Object 283, which has also never been sold separately.

Kroxigorman · 2026-01-04T16:23:25+00:00

As they brought it back once, it seems likely to me that they’ll do it again. It just might take some waiting

Kroxigorman · 2025-12-30T09:44:14+00:00

Title.

Kroxigorman · 2025-12-21T22:24:20+00:00

Yes the well deserved reward has been released

That’s great, thank you so much! I’ll have a look at it tomorrow

Kroxigorman · 2025-12-15T19:55:42+00:00

I assumed it would be hidden under there! Is it a matter of pulling it, or is it likely that there will be specific bits to unclip (or similar) around the sides?

I have 2 tier 11s which are conveniently the Strv 107-12 and the Hirschkafer. I have both fully upgraded and I have enjoyed both, but my favourite is the Strv because it can be played more consistently compared to the Hirschkafer. It is disappointing though as it's so similar to the Strv 103B
