I'm still upgrading my T-54. Got the turret today. Planning to get the top gun within a week or at the longest 2.


T-54 is a fun tank. In fact it's the most fun tank I have ever played.

The stock is a pain to play but right now I''m only missing the gun and suspension. Being thrown in with tier 9s and 10s with only a tier 7 gun is painful but it's already beginning to be a fun tank. I am convinced with the top gun it would be much better.

Nice one!
I know what you mean about matchmaking, although you are lucky there is only a 2 tier gap.
With me and the KV, it's a case of tier 5 (me) against tier 8's and 9's! Not pleasant let me tell you.
BTW got my 107mm and just got the 152mm which i'm trying out for fun and giggles.
1-shotting tier 5 and 6's, with some good and big critical hits on the tier 7 and 8's.
Having a ball.

Well the KV is a tier 5 tank and arguably the strongest tier 5 tank.

Tier 5 tank will always make money no matter how you play the game.

So it is a fun tank which doesn't burden you with credit losses.

of course if you are trying to farm credits it may hurt a bit when you're making only a few k if you happen to play bad.


However playing tier 8 and above the stakes are high especially if you're playing with standard account which means half credit income and half XP.
The credit losses could amount to 20k for a bad game after repair and ammo.

So thus tier 8 and above is only fun when you're playing well and often that depends on your team mates and luck while tier 5 KV is always a fun tank to play.

You know what really annoys me ?
It's not the game but some of the players.

I bought the Lowe and the Churchill and I am finding that while waiting for the game start I get all sorts of abuse for playing with those tanks. (the Lowe more so)

'Wallet Warrior' I was called and worse.In fact yesterday I just quit the game.

Maybe I need to be less sensitive but these guys p**s me off.
My Lowe earns me good credits

Ah met some nasty people too.

I personally do not mind wallet warrior as hey it's their money and indeed premium tanks are good credit farmers.

One thing I understand is Lowe and KV-5 being premium tanks are a high tier tanks(tier 8) and they are very popular(well sold) which means now high tier matches are populated with many many Lowes especially.

Now high tier tanks are expected to contribute a significant portion to the team winning chance but because small number of players can't play them properly you get a lot of flaming on the whole Lowe players partly too because of the envy I'd assume.

I'd never call a Lowe player a wallet warrior nor do I hate them. However I do notice there's now a significant proliferation of Lowe tanks in every match which makes matches generally more difficult for non premium high tier tanks since Lowe is a tough one.

But it is also true that there are a lot of nasty people in WoT. Too many broken people in society.

The anoying part about the lowe is when people (EX me) work for tier 8 tanks for months, but some people can drop 30$ to get to tier 8 in afew minutes.

And then when you get a team of 5 or 6 lowes.

OAH YES! My king tiger with the KWK 46 cost me about 12-14,000 credits to fix it, and about 7-13,000 credits for shells if i shot back.

But 30,000 credits after a good battles when you kill a lot of enemy's... just doesn't cut it.

Yeah that happens from time to time.

I usually return the 'favor' by replying through a private channel.

If the abuse was so bad I sent a PM to go with the private channel message.

BUUUUUURRRRRN down this little man.

Never go to bad angry

It doesn't mean becoming like them though. I was merely suggesting to return the 'courtesy' so these kind of people know how it feels dealing with their own kind of personality. I am sure they don't like to deal with their own like personality. In short to play them.

It is also one of the reason to educate younger people(children) about these kind of people in the internet so that they understand and are not dragged into their level. It's best to limit their internet usage per day too until they are adult and can be trusted or have developed a character of their own.
