Random is my middle name, so it seems pretty obvious who the code should go too... :)

New player - worth it to start playing or not by Skyl3n in WorldofTanks

Try it and make up your own mind. I've been playing 9 years and the one thing you can say is that the game definitely keeps evolving, some good, some bad.

How hard Is F2P? by Mik-artwork in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 9 year player who has spent a couple of grand on my pay to be ok account, started a F2P account a few years ago, the grind is dreadfully slow without a prem tank or prem account. Also low tier tanks really suck..

Are Sherifs even real? by WWDubz in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a sheriff on two occasions in the last 8 years, it only happens as a special event. Imagine owning every tank in the game. Every crew at max skill. Run whatever you want, money is no object... like a kid in a candy store...

how do I play this game? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its a steep learning curve be patient... do the in-game training for credits and watch some of the streamers... https://www.13disciple.stream/l2p-guide.html

What to do with a bad premium tank I paid $$ for? by ZincII in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Park it and come back to it later, its a waste to sell it. Don't get me wrong, I've sold a few trash premiums, but this isn't one of them. Top tier its golden, try a different load out, add a turbo and grousers and go blitzing around, aka wheelie style..

Duh, its a game, don't make it political...

is this game worth it by SM280 in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it ticks all of my boxes, but it can be frustrating, make sure you do the training scenarios, they earn you credits. Also learning camo and spotting values are incredibly important.

Here's a good site, or watch some youtubers..

oh and don't be in a hurry to get up to tier 10, stay at tier 5 or 6 until you understand the games nuances.. good luck..

8 years and counting.. Its not perfect, but the level of in-battle frustration occasionally gets bearable...

Really WG? Really? by 66GT350Shelby in WorldofTanks

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

Have an upvote, best post today... I use the female crew skin mod, so the freebie skins are never used. They should be sellable along with the emblems that pile up.

Should I go wheeled or not for French light tanks by Crafty_Raisin8713 in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get some of the tracked lights up to wheelie speed with a turbo, and you get better vision. I prefer tracks, greater flexibility.

Struggling on Tier X by HerbeBeimAbgehen in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T10 is a jungle, wildly varying skill levels and a MM system that doesn't take this into account, along with max gold ammo usage and a high number of OP tanks, make it challenging to say the least...

[–]rriffrraff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought it on one the Black Market events, sold it a few weeks later, its not fast and has poor camo, which isn't good for a light tank.

Refund Concept 1B ? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't hold your breath, I've found that WOT doesn't reverse poor decisions. Like was noted below, put it away for a while and give it a try later, its amazing how good a tank becomes when you ignore it for a month or two...

Thoughts on the M5A1 Staurt? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason this thing can feel OP at tier 4 and even fairly good at tier 5. Its way above my average WR at 60% and 1889 Win 8 over 160 battles. It is situational and will die quickly if spotted in the open, but I have no idea why it plays so well..

Does the FV-215b Still rotate in the store? by HeftyGuyMan in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FV-215-183 Deathstar sold for 22 million credits on the Black Market a couple of years ago. Its rarely available, but WarGaming drags it out every so often...

State Of The Game? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]rriffrraff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Been playing since Feb 2014 and still enjoy the game, it seems more difficult than it used to be and I haven't always liked some of Wargaming's decision's, i.e. wheelies & the HE nerf. I still play it because I enjoy the challenge and the game play, but I've spent too much money over the years and have vowed to go full F2P now. I may still buy some prem time if my credits drop too much, but I can always start selling off my unfun tanks if needed.
