[Malicious Intent]

Soviet heavies will be revamped in a few weeks, so your IS4 will soon be tier 10. Public testing of 7.3 is allegedly to begin in the last third of this month.

You know, I forgot all about that. Maybe I should focus on the E-75 instead...

[DGuller]

If anything, I would focus even more on getting the IS-7.  I imagine that having both IS-4 and IS-7 would give you a free ride through a number of new heavies.

Yeah, so I just checked.

My IS-4 will move to T10. I will get a free Object 252 (new Tier 9)

My KV will be replaced by the Kv-1, and I will get a free KV-2 as well.

Pretty nice...

too bad I just spent all my credits re-shuffling my tanks, after a brief time in an S-51 and SU-100. Going back to T-25, and doing french lights instead, thankyouverymuch!

I will need to farm credits to purchase a KV-3 quickly. Having that on stock will also result in a new tank and garage slot.

Welp, inspired by PAX, I went ahead and downloaded a copy and went gold.

Am I correct in that the game keeps you with your tier tanks? That is, I will never see my crappy starting Renault up against a Tiger?

See this woefully out of date chart.  Match the tier and type of your tank, and that'll tell you your potential battle tiers.  When you are picked for a match it is assigned a battle tier, and you'll meet a semi-random assortment of other tanks that also can participate in that battle tier.

So no, as a tier 1 you'll never encounter worse than a tier 2, and in fact as a new player I believe the first ~10 games are training games, only against other tier 1s.

Is there a full explanation of which tanks/modules you need to have to get every freebie from the revamp?  And what happens to your IS-4 experience if you never do use it to upgrade to IS-7?

If you have a KV, it becomes a KV-1. If you have researched the second turret, you get a free KV-2 with 100% crew and slot.

If you have a KV-3 it moves to Tier 7, becomes the new KV-3 with same research setup. Additionally, you will get a free stock T-150, 100% crew, and garage slot.

If you have a IS-4, it moves to Tier 10, becomes the new IS-4 with the same research setup. Additionally, you get a free stock Object 252, 100% crew, garage slot.

I don't know what happens to XP on the IS-4, that is a very good question. Right now I have some 60k on it towards the IS-7.

Goddamn it.  A fucking T8 killed my Tiger P, when we were the last two remaining.  You know you missed a golden opportunity when you get 1250 XP from a loss.

I speak English, I speak Russian, and yet neither of those skills seem to be useful in interpreting that post.

Pretty nice deals this weekend for the 1 year anniversary.

Dammit, I bought my Panther yesterday.

[Faeelin]

There are some tanks which just can't penetrate other tanks' armor, right? My Panzer III appears to be hitting some units, but I'm doing no damage to them?
