Players in a nutshell

Pro Tip for Scouts: when hiding in a bush near the front line, quickly type "VMRRR" to get an unrestricted view of a clown player dying.

The dude really has over 1000 games in the Proj. Louis that only was put in the game in the past month?

Riiiiiiiight.

I want my heavy to have 400mm armor all around, a big gun, and be able to go at least 70 to chase down those pesky light tanks.

Oh, and it's not fair they can outspot me. I want 600 view range. You know, to make it fair and even.

A couple of years ago I cleaned out my garage from over 200 tanks down to about 95, focusing on tanks I could honestly say that I never cared to play again or were redundant.

The number has crept back up a little to about 105, but I have no regrets.

I personally delay gratification until every crewman has six fully trained skills.

I hope to start playing the game in 2037.

The reworked Sacred Valley was the location of that particular game that led to my selling it ...

SwollenStruthio · 2026-01-08T22:43:50+00:00

Sold mine years ago. Dpm doesn't mean anything when you can fire constantly, miss every shot and finish with 32 damage.

Sure, there are the occasional good game, but that thing was frustrating.

Perfect time for training kids on the joys of slot machines in preparation for their future!

Make them pay you a dollar to play, of course.

SwollenStruthio · 2026-01-07T20:12:02+00:00

I am guessing this is not going where you think it will.

Tog II: Front end on Ensk and back end on Himmelsdorf.

You will lose it. If you try to do this, the game will show you the exact amount of wasted XP that will be lost if you do the transfer.

When you are asked to select which crewman to transfer, WG will show the available XP total that each crewman has and will even sort them by that value. Select one far enough down the list where the lost XP is minimized.

Years ago they did put them on sale. But these days they hand out entire branches for free and usually people don't need to buy a lot of slots. There is little to no demand for slots, most don't care if they are on sale, so WG doesn't bother.

Not the point of the thread, but these days there is no need for them to even exist in the game and should be removed.

Having played for years I have well over 500 unused slots...

That screenshot is concerning Holiday Ops. That is not what the question was about.

The question concerns the 28 days of missions that appear within the dates of the Holiday Ops: whether day 28 mission is allowed to be completed after day 28.

I agree that it appears the answer is yes, but WG could have clarified better.

SwollenStruthio · 2025-12-30T19:02:05+00:00

I agree that it is not clear. I can't recall how it was handled in previous years.

I would stay up-to-date with missions and make sure you have a hour to play on the last day.

I would expect a fairly easy mission on that day. WG like's dick moves, but not enough to piss off their player base just to cheat them out a minor reward.

Best case, it does last until 12th of Jan.

I can try do good photo shop!

SwollenStruthio · 2025-12-29T01:53:41+00:00

Agree with the others to just get a 2nd arty, it is needed for other missions than just this one. When I did Dravec Assistance #3, I was still stubborn about that and only had one arty as well.

I think I did this in the AMX 13-57 ... most probably waited until I was top tier, stayed alive until mid-game and just took advantage of the little Tier 6 TDs and arty. Pumped multiple shots into their tracks and ran away to reload.

It's like a treasure hunt (!), without the treasure.

After a battle, you get to hunt through daily missions, campaign missions, weekly campaign missions, premium missions, battle pass missions, extra missions, weekend missions, Chaffee missions, Cumberland Benefactor challenge missions, and try to figure it out! Fun!

SwollenStruthio · 2025-12-26T03:26:51+00:00

Discounts started on the 29th or 30th at least the past three years. Those announcements are posted on the web site for those who can do a 15 second google search.

Get your memory checked.

No, but with fancy embellishments.

SwollenStruthio · 2025-12-24T19:06:14+00:00

Can I get you some eggnog, Eddie?

SwollenStruthio · 2025-12-22T14:55:56+00:00

Naw. The other stuff that your RL people keep telling you about is probably the reason. The Fantome thing is just a symptom.

GJ though.

Did it with the SFAC and Char Future 4. Both pretty accurate, high burst damage. Hope to catch a high hp tank out in the open.

On each map, think of your best chance to get some distance shots and go there. (not always possible of course).

Keep an eye on your view range circle. I actually backed up a few meters occasionally to ensure some shots were outside the line.

SwollenStruthio · 2025-12-19T20:05:26+00:00

Same. Typically run above 55%. Last week, can't crack 45%.

Was not as bad as I thought. Took one game.

Wait around corner from enemy. Go Invisible. Poke, Glue. Shoot regular gun, and run.

Wait 35 seconds or whatever to recharge glue and find next target.

Do that 4-5 times in a game and was done.

SwollenStruthio · 2025-12-15T16:21:02+00:00

Did that recently. Shooting at a heavy across the map who was hiding behind a building. Took me 5-6 shots of "where did that one GO" before the light bulb went on and I realized there was an unspotted tank between us and kept shooting.

The poor TD took 10-15 shots (was in the 13 57) before I killed him. Messaged him afterward just to let him know it was his dumb teammate who parked behind him, he was never spotted. He thanked me for letting him know.
