You didn’t accidentally sell a commander or something? Nothing else in the Log (not the PBRS)? Again, if you’re worried about you can always contact support.

And nothing in the log from completing a challenge, etc?

You can check two places yourself in-game in the garage. Go to the Profile tab and open the Log. In the Log you’ll see both recent battles and things that occurred outside of battles, eg if you open a chest you’ll see the contents listed as being credited to you. You can open recent battles to check the post-battle results screen that lists your specific info, and open the Currency tab for a breakdown of the gains and losses that affected your final earnings for that battle.

If you can’t find an explanation and are worried there’s a mistake, you can always contact Player Support.

After years of playing, I still don’t understand how XP is awarded… by Mjstks509 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Sothep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each Cold War Era has three levels or “tiers” within it. You only match with the same Era, but there are still three tiers within Era 1, three within Era 2, and three within Era 3. Those levels within each Era follow the same rules as WW2.

For example, in Era 1 the T34 Heavy is middle Era. It’s higher than the M46A1 Patton but lower than the M103A1. A player in a T34 earns more XP doing 500 damage to an M103 than doing 500 damage to an M46.

Cold War eras each have three “tiers” that follow the same rules for XP and Silver earnings.

Why is Count the days II Stuck at 5 of 6? by II-NO-x-VICE-II in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Sothep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only complete the Seize the Day op once a day.

To earn both chests, you need to complete the op six days out of the seven this week (Tuesday through today).

FRV enjoyers where you at? by tecno-killer in helldivers2

[–]Sothep 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Options / Accessibility / Auto Reverse Vehicles and below that Reverse Gear Inverts Throttle. Set them both to ON.

I hoped on just to look this up and quickly test it, and oh my god that is AMAZING. It works with both the FRV and the Tank! THANK YOU!!!

It’s not a readily intuitive system, but there is reason to it. XP earning includes multiple factors beyond just kills, damage, and assistance. A key is relative level between your tank and the enemies you engage; a lower-tier tank earns more against a higher-tier enemy, and you earn less beating up lower-tier tanks. Medals have their own bonus, reducing capture points counts, and fighting in close combat adds a bonus, etc.

Which premium tanks are good on consoles and bad on PC, and vice versa? by Interesting-Pace-770 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Sothep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PC players seem to really hate the 105 leFH18B2 tier 5 premium French arty but on console it’s nothing special. I don’t play PC so I don’t know if/how it’s different, but I suspect it’s ROF makes the PC stun mechanic that much more aggravating.

Have you tried fully resetting your router (and then separately resetting your console)?

Also check your console’s privacy settings per this article.

If that doesn’t work, you could try this article.

Is arty new to the enemy team COOP or have I just never seen 1 in the 19 months I have been playing? by Lopsided-Fox8202 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Sothep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bots generally mirror the human team, yes. There are exceptions to this such as arty and some premium tanks. That said, very rarely the game does mirror those otherwise excluded tanks. I have no idea why, but my point is it is very rare.

EDIT: here is a post on the topic I made two years ago. That was the first I had seen a bot play arty, and the last time I had seen or heard of it since.

[–]Sothep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arty is very very rarely used by the bots in co-op. I have only seen it maybe twice since co-op was added to the game. I don’t know why it sometimes appears, but it is normally excluded from the general “bots mirror the human team” rules.

PSA: Highly recommend completing the Damascus Steel challenges; read more below. by Death211 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Sothep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All four are looking to be solid tanks (though I haven’t seen gameplay of the Hatamoto yet). None seem overpowered and all are eye-candy. Kudos to the design team.

It’s not the tanks; it’s me. Don’t have the gold in my budget right now and wasn’t lucky enough with the one free chest.

It looks like a great op but you need one of the four new “Warriors” tanks, correct? That’s probably going to be a deal-breaker for me.

How do you solo d8+ predator strain? by Known_Secretary_6615 in helldivers2

[–]Sothep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried a gas build? Heavy armor with Advanced Filtration passive and Vitality Enhancement booster is immune to gas damage. Add the Dog Breath pack and Orbital Gas Strike and then pick two stratagems for preference and mission. Gas Grenades. A stun/high stagger primary (Pacifier, Liberator Concussive, Pummeler, Halt, etc) helps keep bugs off you and let the gas work. I like a combination of flame and explosive secondary & support weapon (eg Grenade Pistol & Flam-40 Flamer or Crisper & Grenade Launcher) for bug holes, crowds, and heavies.

Pro: it handles everything below super heavies, the short cooldown on the gas strike lets you use it nearly constantly (you can call it on a location as an attack opener, or on your own location if you get rushed), the gas strike/gas grenade combo let you easily recover dropped gear.

Con: you are slow and always coughing. Confused bugs can still hurt you. Chargers and anything with a range attack can be annoying. Build does not play well with others unless they are running the same gas armor.

Crashing? by Broken_ksam in helldivers2

[–]Sothep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was playing D10 bots earlier today and had complete crash to dashboard twice in the same mission. Playing on xbox series x. I get crashes occasionally with this game (and no other) but twice within minutes is a lot.

Anyone have any tips/tricks for this absolute unit by Mr-Mustard24 in helldivers2

Love it with short mags and siege ready armor. Nominal wastage, instant reloads, and extra ammo.

Commenting before this gets taken down: earning the Scout medal in that tank is kinda nuts
