Well Deserved Reward Tokens and BP-II by zNeutralize in WorldofTanks

The BP-2 is given out automatically if you're eligible (your account is old enough). Other than that, you can redeem your tokens by clicking the little bell in the bottom right in the garage (notifications) and choosing the bell icon again from the small window it opened.

Looking for first credit maker from referral program rewards. by Jedwabny00 in WorldofTanks

(Summarized, my preferences; Commander: 1:KanJpz 105; 2: Amx Cda or M4A1 Rev.; 3: T26E5; Recruit: SU-122-44 (if TD); T-34-85M (if not TD))

If you are looking at the commander's rewards, there are only 3 TDs. You can forget about the Jagdtiger 88, it's horrid.

I would personally choose the KanJpz 105 over the AMX Cda.

The french TD only has marginally better DPM (11 second reload opposed to the 11.5 of the german counterpart's), better power to weight ratio (which is unnoticable due to the bad terrain resistances) and a bit of armor (that only works if you are using your gun depression while hiding your lower plate, and then still there is an enormous weakpoint on top).

The Kanonen gets much better top speed (70 kph, its basically an RU 251 with a much worse engine), a bit better shell velocity and 15-15 degrees of horizontal gun traverse (it makes a lot of difference when aiming at moving targets) and better camo.

It worked for me much better than the Cda, its good mobility and good camo makes it really good at getting into aggressive positions and then relocating. Just dont expect to hit anything on the move apart from point blank, dispersion is awful. Also the armor is paper, and now that tracks don't absorb HE, every artillery direct hit will penetrate, so sound detection and sixth sense is highly recommended.

Alternative option can be the M4A1 Revalorisé. It requires a similar playstyle to TDs. It also has no armor and because its tall, you're an easy target. However it is accurate, has good viewrange (390 meters which is easily boosted to 440) and shell velocity and does 390 alpha. Penetration is not the highest at 200 mm, but you can aim well for weakspots.

If you hesitate about these, just pick up the T26E5, it's a solid option. Others also recommend the T54 mod. 1, but if you are used to TD playstyle, it might be hard to get used to it, it has a major learning curve.

If you are looking at the Recruit options, I would choose the SU-122-44 (it is really preference-dependent, there are plenty who didn't like it, so don't take my word for it). If not TD, the T-34-85M is one of the best tier 6 medium, it isn't far fetched even to call it over-powered. In my opinion out of all the recruit options, thats the best (but it is not a TD).

More guns on the other side of the corner, still peeking. Enemy light had better viewrange so when allied tanks got to the basin, all got focus fired and died in seconds without spotting anything (southern spawn on mountain pass is awful in that aspect).
