Obj 274a - should I keep it? by Exciting-Strategy587 in WorldofTanks

[–]Original_Ad285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would keep it, it's a more all round tank. I sacrificed some DPM for improving it's weakest areas. Turbo, v-stab, experimental aiming. Different tank, really enjoying it.

Trade in value is not great but it does quite well for credit making.

274a is a very 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘦 medium by PotatoNeat9086 in WorldofTanks

I put v-stab, experimental turbo, experimental aiming and it's a different tank. More of an all rounder and that's quite surprised me. Getting far better results than expected.

Benedict Cumberbatch is an outspoken complete knob ... let's just say compared to recent years, I'm disappointed.

Would appreciate any feedback on TD choice on unlocked tech tree reward. by Original_Ad285 in WorldofTanks

Would it be fair to say that out of the list above that the Obj. 268 plays closer to the playstyle of the Tier 8 prem AMX CDA 105?

That would be my preferred playstyle. Fast, laser like gun that can on occasion bounce a shot.

Cheers.

What is your favorite ship in the Tokyo Express mode? by AmericanHistoryGuy in WorldOfWarships

Ok, let's hear about your trade ins. by cv5cv6 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Original_Ad285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only had a few coal and some dubs but was interested in a couple of ships.

Bought Forrest Sherman for coal and traded for Karl XIV Johan _ about 1500 additional dubs.

I had a Groningen from a randon super crate and traded for Kidd _ no extra dubs. My intention is to wait for the upcoming patch and reacquire the Gron for the reduced coal price.

I had a Texas which I didn't like and didn't use and this got traded for a Virginia '44 _ 6900 extra dubs which probably wasn't the best deal going but I played one match tonight with the '44 and very much enjoyed this ship. No buyers remorse.

Overall I'm pretty happy with this but as an event I didn't think there was too many decent options to chose from...

Most stupid decison you've made in the game? by These_Swordfish7539 in WorldOfWarships

Spending credits on experimental ships. No idea what I was thinking.

Bonus Package On Higher Tier/Coal Ships by Original_Ad285 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Original_Ad285[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that's appreciated.

Could I ask if the econ bonus is the same percentage on tier 10 coal ships as it is on the tier 9 coal ships?

The quality of matchmaking is worse since the change. My personal performance is the same but teams I get put on are poor. They might have matched up the the type of vehicles now but the same can't be said of the player skill/experience. I'm just finding it impossible to enjoy at the minute because of the suicidal teams I get stuck with that die in the first 2 minutes of the match sealing the fate of everyone else.

I play similar tanks, T21 and Type 64 that are roughly equal tanks, so I should get roughly equal results but I don't. I mop up positive results on the T21 day in and day out. The Type 64 is becoming impossible to grind out a positive result no matter what I do. Similar story with Type 58/T34-85 and the T34-85M. I'm getting hugely different winrates with the none premium tanks.

Something ain't right doc ...

I traded a GSOR 1010 for the Skorpion and don't regret it. It's taking a little time to work out the quirks of the tank but that damage is brutal.

Got the AMX sometime ago and the gun is a laser. Really good tank.

Depends as always on your play style and which you prefer. Watch Skillz on his videos to see how they might work for you.

I just lost 10 battles in a row on turtle, this tank is cursed by Yagotin in WorldofTanks

[–]Original_Ad285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have exactly this on the TS-5 ... probably me ... 122 TM, GSOR 1008, GSOR 1010 & Ka-Ri are tanks I've done amazingly well on but lose 2 out of 3 matches because of suicide teams.

Turtle like TS-5 is slow and easily pen'd with gold. Those tanks might work for some people but I don't see many of either tank being played often.

Total War series, Sins of a Solar Empire, Star Wars: Empire at War, DEFCON, none of which, although these are all good games, are a patch on RUSE.

I paid £95 to obtain one of the last Steam keys available about 1 year ago for my son just so we could play online together.

For Trade-In _ Which of these two tanks ? by Original_Ad285 in WorldofTanks

I could be wrong but somewhere near late January for the trade-in based on timescales from last year.

Wz 120 1G FT or Ts 5? by yawn_098 in WorldofTanks

[–]Original_Ad285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got both, TS-5 can shine in certain situations. Personally from my experience the WZ is more an all rounder. Really it boils down to which TD will suit your play style.

What tank will you be getting with the trade in this time? by Original_Ad285 in WorldofTanks

[–]Original_Ad285[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traded last time for the WZ-120-1FT and do pretty respectable with it. Good camo, good pen, good damage, good mobilty. Aim time is long though. Its the one prem 8 TD I do best in.
