World of Tanks

[Shade]

I think in general just about all the Tier V elited vehicles are pretty good credit machines. That seems to be the sweet spot. So what you are looking for there are T5 tanks that have a good gun, so they can punch above their weight when they end up in T8 matches.

StugIII
PZIV

are both good, because they have the 75L70 gun that can damage up into T7.

The M4 doesn't have quite as much pen, but has a ridiculous ROF. The KV of course has the rather insane for T5 107mm. I've never played it, but I would guess the SU-85 would also be a great credit generator.

The M4 is a T6 tank....?

[Berkut]

No....?

Haha for whatever reason I was seeing 6's and not 4's sorry my pardon.

Are Russian TDs any good? I really like the American and German TDs, but have never tried the Russian ones.

Depends on your style.  They certainly can't stand any heat, but they often pack a lot of it.

Is it just me, or do higher tier tanks kill the motivation to play the game?  I've tricked out my IS-3, put in 60k of XP towards IS-4, and I still have 100k XP to go.  That translates to 150 battles.  Just the thought of that makes me go "fuck it"; that's not fun anymore, that's just a grind.

A little bit. Which is why I play a bunch of different tanks.

I actually try to ignore the XP requirements for the "next" tank, and just play to have fun, increase my kill rate, etc.

However, I have enough XP for the IS-4 now, but nowhere near enough credits...

A bigger problem for me is my E-50. It is elite, and is a great tank. But the only thing I get for playing it is XP which I then have to pay cash to convert to free XP.

I would love to have the ability to convert my elite XP to credits instead, for example....

I've pretty much stopped playing, although I might pick it up again at some later point.  The GW Tiger was dull as dishwater, even though I had a pretty good record with it.  Firing around 3 shots every two minutes and not having near the maneuverability of the GW Panther didn't hold my interest.  I tried getting into TDs and I've been grinding the German Meds for a while.  Both were fun but not as fun as Arty.

You guys might want to try the Thanksgiving Special. I just got 7,550XP in a single match with my PIV. 

[frunk]

I just got 3400 xp in my SU-26.  Yeah, I'm playing the other Arty lines now.  The SU-26 is a monster.  I don't see why it isn't considered ridiculously overpowered.

It is the SU-x that makes it not OP.

Yeah, I'm on that one as well.  Really ridiculously overpowered when matched with the lower tiers.  I actually have way more success with it when I play it like a Wolverine, a TD with a turret, than as an arty.

[DGuller]

That SU-152 is sweet.  It's a bit of a bitch to get it into a favorable situation, but when you shoot at someone, you know you're going to hurt them.  It's like a derp KV, only much more practical.

My T28 with the monster gun is really growing on me.

I actually like that I have to be pretty thinking about how to use it. It is the exact opposite of a tank like the E-50, that is well rounded and capable in multiple situations. The T28 has a pretty narrow useability range, but oh when it gets into the right spot at the right time, it is freaking awesome.
