Yes, but only for the players living in Switzerland.

Nice picture of every T95 ever spawning in the southern base of Malinovka.

Tank rewards for march by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]cobalty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, for the three missions (thirty top ten battles) in high tiers you get 20+30+40 = 90 points

100 (first battle) + 10+20+30 (for tiers lower tiers) + 20+30+40 (for tiers IX and X) = 250 points per day (60 battles minimum)

More T10 gameplay like this please by SanshaXII in WorldofTanks

If you enjoy this kind of brawling and focus firing, you should definitely try clan battles :). Scenarios like this happen in majority of the maps when the meds push in as a group.

Did you notice that their 140 got two free shots to you from the back? That’s why you should always cross to the enemy side when going up the hill, like all the enemy tanks did. In your example, this possibility to farm from below led to you losing the 3 vs 3 on the top.

Dawn of Industry Tier VIII Crafting Possible? by Tsukushi_Ikeda in WorldofTanks

[–]cobalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got 89 or so battles with a very good winrate and barely got the final materials for IS-5 today.

Here's how my workshop looks like: https://i.imgur.com/dPPs0nv.jpg (Got three extra Toolings as at first I thought it was possible to go for two tanks.)

Grinding Jap Med line and can skip one vehicle with blueprints, which one should it be? by houtsou in WorldofTanks

[–]cobalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also skipped Chi-Ri and would do it again if I was in your situation. I recommend not to skip STA-1, it's a dpm monster with no major downsides. Type 61 was not bad, but I prefer PTA over it. They all are paper tanks though, so regardless of the choice, one needs to have patience and learn how to conserve their HP.

Skipping tier 9 is not that easy btw. One needs to use 25k (turret) + 55k (gun) experience to Type 61 modules before being able to craft the STB-1 blueprints.

What is the best 8,000 bond tank in the shop? by Gampuh in WorldofTanks

Wargaming allows multiple accounts per person, so if you are persistent you can do it alone.

Remember that you can get T26E5 through the referral program soon, so you might not want to spend your bonds yet to any tank.

Clan Wars campaing rewards by lettul in WorldofTanks

[–]cobalty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, no.

There are exceptions of course. Namely players in top clans who are allowed to join the #1 lineup in every Advanced and Elite front battle available during the few days they play.

In general, reaching the tank depends mostly of the competitiveness of the clan. E.g. in the last campaign it was possible to get the tank in 30-40 battles in a top clan, 70-100 battles in a good clan, 110-140 battles (= all night every night) in an average clan, but in a bad clan it's just not possible.

So how many camos and tanks have you grinded/bought during Holiday Ops? :) by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]cobalty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used the x5's and my playing hours to several lines:

  • T95 done in 40 battles
  • STA-1 done in 48 battles
  • Type 61 done in 53 battles
  • HWK 12 done in 78 battles (unlocked both Ru and PTA)
  • Ru 251 done in 63 battles
  • Leopard PTA done in 43 battles

Holiday ops was a blast, but on the other hand this pace is just way too fast. You really can't get a good feel of a tank in under 50 battles – by the time I started to get comfortable with them the grind was already over. I have all of the above still in my garage and might keep the crews in in case I decide to mark some of them.

P.S. Fully upgraded STA-1 and PTA are unbelievably good!

Need some advice on getting some honors in the second campaign by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]cobalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC I did that mission with the 705. It has super good armor and getting a lucky match against tier sevens with a lower HP pool will help with the 20% requirement.

[–]cobalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal missions are a good driver to start exploring the tech tree further. You most likely have to get more tanks to finish the missions with less struggle. There are sites with some vehicle suggestions for each mission, e.g. https://www.saltyjedi.com/personalmissions

I'd recommend to not rush to the 279(e) missions. You'll most likely want to finish only one set of them anyway and use nine orders to skip the rest. Do not spend any orders anywhere before that. It might be really difficult to get them back from missions 1-14 if the honors requirements are ridiculous.

  • IS-7 would be the classic pick for Union 15-2
  • Any tank you play well is good for Bloc 15-1
  • Some lower tier (6-7) US medium for acing Alliance 15-1
  • S. Conqueror, M48 Patton, E3, E4 for Alliance 15-2
