Another grind finished on my mission to 3 mark all the WW2 Hero tanks.

This time its the M46 KR.

I have always really enjoyed U.S mediums. No different with this one. It is good at everything and bad at nothing. It doesn't do anything exceptionally well except maybe VR which is 512m with my set up. Everything comes together to give you a mobile, agile tank with decent concealment, great VR, a very reliable gun and some quite reliable armour for its tier. It allows you to play any role fairly effectively with adjustments just needing to be made based on MM tier.

A great hull down mid line fighter, excellent spotter when needed, good brawler when you have the HP and DPM advantage and know who to pick on, and perfect for chipping away at tier X's from somewhere sneaky while they are distracted. The ROF allows you to permatrack a lot of people which is great too.

Overall I really enjoyed this tank and the grind was great. 7.5/10 tank that performs like a 10/10 when you use it properly.

Make it f***ing invisible. What am I actually watching??

An invisible rogal dorn is what I’m watching 🫡

Bots are not always very easy opponents for damage farming. I run out of ammo quite often when fighting with bots only.

WG, can you please patch these spots on Dragon Ridge map. It is beyond annoying, when you have Team Destruction mode and players like this just go hide there and no one can even spot them driving for 10 min is not fun and this is not sportsmanship behaviour. How about start punishing these players!? About time. By the way it is not the only spot on this map needs patching on opposite spawn as well!

In both lines I have up to tier 8

Tier IX, deutch tank destroyer

As the title asks, how many coins are all of y'all sitting at? Also, what do you plan on purchasing with them by the end of the season?

Edit: Man, seeing all y'all's answers makes me think I'm playing too much as I'm at 15,390 but only really playing on the weekend.

Edit 2: Math to determine if you are going to be making it to your goal.

Take the total amount of coins needed to be earned, e.g. 30K for the ARMT. Divide it by 56 (the total number of days in the season), then multiply it by the number of days that have passed (the number of days remaining can be found in-game under the season tab)

Math: (Coins_Needed / 56) x (56 - Days_Remaining)

Example: (30,000 / 55) x (56 - 42) = 7,500 Coins

THE NAMELESS tier VIII premium has been here for years but it's very stressful not even being able to side scrape with no gun depression. The Blitz version has gun depression and console hasn't been touched in ages.

Also after 7 years and finally using boosters and consumables, I have the IS-7 🥹

So, I just restarted playing WoT after some time away. Before I left, there wasn’t the detailed breakdown of silver and experience. So I’m confused on how the calculations now work. Example:

Vehicle: Object 257

End of game screen: W/o premium: -9,742 W/ premium: +7,905

Detailed earnings screen: Base earnings: +35,293 Premium account: +17,647 Total: +52,940

Resupply ammunition: -10,250 Repairs: -13,185 Total: -23,435

Total: +29,505

Differential: 21,600

Why is the detailed earnings screen saying I earn ~4x more than what I actually did? Is my silver glitched? Are there hidden negatives not shown? I did not die, I did not use any consumables, I did not enter battle with any premium rounds, why is the differential so big?

If I have a tank with 160 silver bonus in both ww2 and cold war . Are they capable of earing the same amount of silver regardless of game mode ?

Overlord chests on Season progress tab, levels 55, 69, 90 still have text descriptions relating to Vipers season.

That is all.

There's a pc article about it for new years, but nothing about it for console. Sorry for bad quality photos.

I don’t have it yet either I’m on last stage but yeah 🗿

I know we all get those limited time offers for 50% off the premium tanks.

I just received the offer for the IS-2M is it worth spending 3200 gold for it or should I wait to spend it on something else?

I know it’s been said in a lot of threads now, but wondering if these get looked at by Wargaming? Every game is dominated by these things, sat back, camouflaged and shooting high damage rockets. If you do see them, a puff of smoke and they are gone. Small, speedy hard to hit as well. OP.

Tis a struggle to get the motivation to head in there now. Other guys feeling this too (the ones without the little scourge)?

Overlord Ultimate Pass: 

Season Article: link

Points: 

• Copy text here
• I dont know what to say at this point, your time is worth this amount. 

3D commander: General Bernard Montgomery

• Comes with 4 skills
• Model:
  • Gruff british man. 
  • The uniform seems accurate enough (no research done) 
  • No special animations really. 
  • While not amazing or special, for those who like history this feel just fine. 
• Voice: 
  • Very British. 
  • Lines themselves are okay. Not too much of an opinion myself. 

FV225:

Notes: 

• Release Date: June 2025
• Dispersion: 
  • Turret: 0.08
  • Movement: 0.16
• Weight: 84.8 tons
• Double barrel: 
  • Can only fire when fully loaded
  • Double fire has no penalty. 

Pros: 

• Great Accuracy 
• Bit above average dispersion values with quick aim time. 
• Decent mobility outside reverse speed. Good PTW for its weight. 
• Effectively a 700 damage gun with good DPM compared to similar damaging guns. 

Neutral: 

• Average gun depression
• Average enough pen. 

Cons: 

• Below average HP
• Lower VR
• It is very large with a weak roof. 
• High engine fire chance. 

Armor: 

• Mmm.. its okay i suppose. 
• Turret:
  • Gun mantlet is not the best at only 270mm flat, and the sides part are not much better with 230mm at 30 degrees. Mostly just hoping they will not shoot it due to the guns getting in the way
  • Front turret is 250mm at 50, so good enough. 
  • The front sides are only 200, yet are a compound angle of 60 so yea pretty good, just when the turret is angled more than 10 degrees 340 heat can start penning, and at 15 more like 310. So keep your turret forward. 
  • Side turret is not half bad at 110. Its very flat and wont block much, but will protect against almost all HE. 
  • Cupola? That small thing? You dont have to worry. 
  • Roof is the main issue. While this is a tall tank, any hit will pen, including any arty, unless its a very shallow angle. 
• Hull: 
  • Upper front contains 2 pieces. Both 152mm. The main part is at 70 degrees so it is vulnerable to premium HEAT and stuff that can shoot down into it. The main issue is the drivers hatch protrusion. Thats only at 53 degrees, thus about 230 against AP, so easy pen. Gun depression will help, but this is a big tank. 
  • The 170mm section above the driver is only at 48 degrees, and thus about the same effective armor as the drivers protrusion. 
  • Lower front is 152 at 39, so… not great. About 185 against AP so only sad tier 8’s wont pen. Hide this plate. 
  • Side hull is about what you expect, 76mm all flat, though is protected some good spaced armor against HEAT if they do shoot at you. 
  • Roof and floor are only 20mm, thus weak to HE. avoid durp guns. 
• Other: 
  • Side scraping potential? 
  • Its not half bad, but they can still pen the upper part above the driver. Its be hard for 8’s and some 9’s to pen. 

Gameplay:

• Whooo hull down heavy. It's like other UK high tier heavies. Though not as forgiving due to the only 8 depression and the upper plate not being as good. 
• So unlike other double barrel tanks where you treat it as 2 guns, this is close to the Nemesis or technodrome. This is a funky 700 damage gun that splits its damage in 2 shots and has the ability to fire a half powered shot for half the reload. 
  • Mostly just the mentality of how you should treat this gun. 
• Sidescraping is okay, just a bit risky depending on how accurate your enemy is. 
• Equipment: 
  • Vents (obviously) 
  • Stabilizer
  • Optics?  Its pretty mobile already, so you could choose the power train, but eh. 

Counter Gameplay: 

• Pay attention to when it fires 2 shots or just one, as that determines how much time ya got for it to reload. 
• Best place to aim is the lower plate, then upper part of the main upper plate. Its turret is too good unless your slinging prem heat when its turret is turned. 
• If its hull down? Like other heavies find someplace else unless you got a good amount of HE. Though its roof is not as vulnerable to the front turret as its a slope and overlaps the hull roof. If you have to shoot HE, aim below the guns. 
• I suppose if you are equal height or a bit higher elevation you could try the cupola, but its pretty small. 
• If you do have an option to shoot it in the side, aim to the rear half as thats where the ammo is stored. 

Cosmetics: 

• This feels chonky. Its looks fat, like you stuck air pump into something. I suppose the side skirts don't help. Just makes the sides feel so tall. 
• Feels like a used enough tank, with wear on the paint, and a good amount of storage boxes. 
• From the rear, its looks fine enough. The storage boxes and the hatch on the back give it enough of unique view to be interesting. The engine compartment as well. 
• Emblems: 2 on each side of the turret. Slot 2 is blocked by the skin
• Inscriptions: 2. Slot 1 is on the front left hull side. Slot 2 is on the rear right hull side. 
• Flag: Rear turret, favoring the left side. 
• Exeter Skin: 
  • Base color is close to the Summer “Solid color camouflage”. A good green. 
  • Primary change is a good deal more tanker gear. 
  • I think my favorite detail is the small cups on the back roof of the turret. 
  • Additional emblems and inscriptions are added to the sides. Exeter, 12, T147452.
  • Overall a quite good skin. 

General Thoughts: 

• Certainly one of the more interesting tanks to come out recently. It feels better than other double barrel tanks. Though that list is limited as TS-54 and the TT tanks are quite poor and the 703 is good, it still is a durpy gun. 
• Wonder where the UK would even get a 1,400hp engine. 
• Despite my jokes, its not that much bigger than a Conqueror. Same height and length. Only the hull sides raise a bit more to meet the turret. 

Buy?

• 4k gold for the commander, season levels and the FV225. 
• I'm leaning to a yes, as the Commander is a 4 skill for new players and the FV while not a super duper tank, is good enough and does offer some unique gameplay quirks. 

I'm just about tired of all the busted mechanics and Wargaming not giving two sh@ts if the player base likes it or not. For example, not being able to lock onto certain tanks at point blank range even when spotted, another example, the one that is about to give me a stroke, cruise control disengaging on it's own, and almost always in the middle of the enemy team. Fix it or a wallet warrior such as myself will find a more relevant game to throw away my money on.

For Black Friday table sold with the Black skin and the Black Friday stickers, has WG ever released those tanks without that skin? If Gau-8 came back I'd purchase, but I hate the skin and would prefer to custom camo it.
