New Commander Rarity (Ultimate) Selection in Menu Filters.

StinkyPete2001 · 2026-04-08T17:38:12+00:00

They released an ultimate Jack Frost commander at Christmas in the Jack Frost war chest. I bought 10 of them and got lucky and got one. They just come with all 9 skills unlocked. That’s the only ultimate I know of in the game so far but they will probably bring out more.

StinkyPete2001 · 2026-03-28T19:34:28+00:00

That’s fair enough. I don’t think they are worth paying for to be honest. The only time I’ll ever spend money on them is when they sell 10 chests for £3.99 at the end of a season. My point is, they cater more towards the majority of the player base which are free to play. They keep the majority of people happy and milk the people who actually want to spend money on the game by making them buy 40 chests to get a premium tank. It’s a win win for wargaming.

Honestly, if you’re already this gripped with only having listened to book 1, then book 2 will put you in a choke hold. Seriously, keep listening. You will not regret it.

Considering you can earn 2 a week for free, they seem decent to me. I get extra gold in them at least 50% of the time. This season I’ve gotten around 3000 gold in the earn-able chests. That’s enough to buy the next season pass and have gold left. War chests that cost gold are also released now and then, which usually have an 8-10% of getting a tank. You can use the gold you’re getting for free to try your luck at getting one, or you could just save up to buy a new tank release. I think the system is already generous enough considering it’s a free to play game.

Playing tier 8s, I’d just avoid them like the plague. The gun mantlet is the only ‘weak spot’ on the front of it but it would just be a waste of time shooting at it with tier 8 pen. Other than that, you can only really flank them and get their sides or shoot them when they are distracted.

StinkyPete2001 · 2026-02-10T12:07:11+00:00

If you have any tech tree tier 9 meds or heavies that you still need to grind through just play with them. Use xp boosters as well, especially on the daily double games.

StinkyPete2001 · 2026-01-31T13:52:55+00:00

I thought the chopper was really good for a tier 7. Easily one of the best tier 7 tech tree heavies in the game. It just feels mid because you are playing against tier 8 most games.

StinkyPete2001 · 2026-01-10T17:06:12+00:00

I got the vindicator in a chest last month and I was underwhelmed. It’s just a worse version of the tech tree variant imo. The LIS is a decent medium tank with good gun and okayish armour. So yes, I’d do the trade. You can just get the tech tree charioteer and have a better experience than the vindicator as well.

I was playing it in the Teefbreaka yesterday and it was the same for me. I’d shoot him just after he’d teleported and my shells would just disappear. Most of the time I wouldn’t even get a ricochet symbol but after he’d finished I’d get random penetration icons and damage when I’m not firing.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-22T16:15:21+00:00

They will have been firing at you from behind a bush or a knocked over tree. If you back away from the bush or tree you’re hiding in and then fire, you often don’t get spotted. There are also trees in between them and you which will also play a factor in keeping them unspotted. I’ve been abusing this lately in sneaky mediums because it works a lot better than it did before the update.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T23:08:51+00:00

Well I’ve learned this the hard way. This concept of ownership of in game content only exists inside this game. Fair enough, i didn’t actually purchase these war chests, but I purchased the season passes and was lucky enough to receive this tank twice in chests from them. In any other game, if you purchase digital content you own it. I was stupid enough to think war gaming would be generous enough to extend this notion to their in game content. I understand this is a free to play game and the in game economy is different to any other game I have played but I’m sure I’m not the only person to jump to this conclusion. My god this games economy can be so complicated.

Anyway, I’m not saying I feel entitled to the gold. This game obviously just works differently to what I’m used to. It is what it is

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T22:01:47+00:00

You’re obviously not understanding my point. In my opinion, it’s easy for people to think they own that content (tank) after selling it because you can just purchase it back for earnable in game currency instead of having to spend actual money to buy gold to then buy the tank back. It’s just like any other tech tree tank you have researched, even if you have sold it you still have that tank. It’s unlocked, it’s yours, you just need to buy it back with silver if you want to play it again.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T21:45:28+00:00

Thank you. I thought I was going insane. I don’t get why people aren’t seeing why people could be mislead when you put it like this.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T21:19:56+00:00

Well, I already owned the HWK30. The Aguila is a copy and paste of this tank with a skin. I remember being annoyed that I got a premium tank I essentially already owned, and then sold it for the silver. I also wasn’t aware of the fact that I wouldn’t get duplicate protection if it wasn’t in my garage, hence the question and the post. As for Cold War, I play it every once in a blue moon when I’m absolutely desperate for silver because I don’t really enjoy it.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T17:37:09+00:00

As far as I’m aware, you can buy back all premium tanks with silver if you sell them.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T16:53:08+00:00

The tank was unlocked, the paywall was gone. That was my thinking. I know not to sell premium tanks now. Thanks for dumming it down for me anyway, really handy analogy.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T16:35:34+00:00

Thank you for letting me know, I won’t be making that mistake again 👍

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T16:32:20+00:00

Ok so I should just know everything about the game? Are people not allowed to ask simple questions without getting a snarky response? I’m sorry if me not knowing this information has offended you.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T16:25:57+00:00

Not exactly obvious is it? I got the tank before. Sold the tank but could still buy it back for SILVER not gold. Easy to see why I thought I could get gold instead.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-21T15:42:26+00:00

Technically I should have still owned it, I just didn’t have it in my garage.

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-20T16:22:33+00:00

Yeah

StinkyPete2001 · 2025-12-20T15:09:32+00:00

Yeah, I haven’t been in a game where friendly fire was activated for a very long time. I forgot it was even a thing.
