    I was 7 missions into this when I stopped it.  Of the 7 missions, 2 of them  were outright losses.  4 of the remaining 5 had 1 AFK and 2 just run out and die.  One of them during the last match said that they didn't care if they died it was on everyone else to win the battle.

    Sorry, but even OSHA has rules about how much I can carry.  If these are the attitudes that are going to be displayed during events like this then what's the point.

    True and satisfactory CATTB re-balance is never late, except I heard these promises several times already.

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't really understand what is wrong with the CATTB.  Is there a list somewhere?

    By the time I get home in the afternoon, the window for PvP is closed, but even when I use it in PvP it doesn't seem to be too problematic.  In PvE it isn't king by a long stretch but I can see where it can be abused.  I know that they nerfed the gun and the ready rack system on it but nothing really stands out.

    Players can fall into three categories here: too good for teamwork; not good enough for teamwork, and; just good enough for teamwork. It's a delicate balancing act to maintain difficulties that won't result in a massive skill gap, unfortunately I don't feel AW has done a good job in that regard.

    This comment here basically sums up why in certain games people want a "skill based" match making system.

    Even then you have situations where a teammate has a vehicle that they suck in and just doesn't click, they could fall into the "not good enough" or "just good enough" categories.  Then you could have someone on the other end that falls in the later two categories just hit it off with a tank and be classed as "too good".  The combinations of these can go on and on.

    There was also something said a long time ago that amounted to some players will dial it up to 10 and play at their best all the time and start to become the "serious" ones because they feel they have to as their team mates either aren't willing to try and just do the minimum to finish up a mission or they just aren't good.

    To follow up with this:

    I contacted support and filed out the form.  When they asked me for more information, I pointed out to them that the information was already in the form I had to submit.  That was where I became very leary about this whole thing.

    We went back and forth for several days.  I would ask a very direct question about how this would affect my account and I got some canned answer in the form of we are going to do this but you have to replay saying that you understand and agree to what is going to happen.  I asked what is actually going on, same thing.

    After about a little over a week of this back and forth I finally had enough and told them to go ahead and they were ready to reverse the charges.

    I am still very leary about the entire thing and it did not leave me with a very comfortable feeling when I was done.

    My share of personal opinion of what premium vehicles worth buy in BP shop for new player 

    Top  Tanks to Buy

    1. XM247 York
    2. Termi 2017
    3. Obj 195
    4. Obj 640
    5. Obj 490
    6. Type 10
    7. ZTQ
    8. Exp Tank
    9.  Seogun

    There is a middle ground of really nice vehicles, i skip generic premiums available in shop for gold

    1. T-14 152
    2. AFT-10
    3. Type 99A2-140
    4. Oplot-BM
    5. Termi 2000
    6. K1A1
    7. M1A1 Storm
    8. Type 90
    9. Taifun

    Top Tanks to avoid -- though they considered "good in skilled hands" , in general they are collectibles and offer either specific gameplay, or there are simply (much) better vehicles than these.

    1. CATTB (Tier 5 MBT has better DPM than this)
    2. AGDS (better look on stuff like Hunter, Kurganiec, ADATS, AFT-10)
    3. QN-506 (same as AGDS)
    4. Altay (better look Type 10)
    5. Pindad
    6. RDF/LT
    7. M60-2000

     

     

    I would like to modify your list a little bit for tanks to buy (in my own opinion of course):

    • Add the Type 90:  it is solid in PvE and PvP
    • Move to middle ground the Exp Tank.  It has been a bit too squishy since the day it was released.  it has potential but at that tier you can do better for light tanks.
    • Add Oplot-BM (if you like the Russian style MBT play)
    • Add the Altay.  It is solid in PvP and a good K2 clone

     

    Other than that, good list.

    With the Object 195 versus 2000 in the training room

    • The autocannon of the 195 for me would be up on the 2000 until it comes time for the reloading.  50 rounds with a 5 second reload versus a 3 round burst.  Too many times I get caught out with 1 or 2 rounds left in the autocannon for the 195.
    • For mobility, the 2000 is like trying to race a fast car fast.  The ability of it to turn in place and swing the gun around are great but for some I could see where it would be a pain.  The 195 is good up until you have to corner.  Stats wise mobility is suppose to go to the Object 195 but it doesn't feel like it.
    • The guns is a case of what's your favorite flavor of ice cream.  You have in one corner the Object with 1000 damage and 850 pen AP round with an HE round that is no joke versus a more well rounded German 860 damage 825 pen AP round with a 1100 damage 990 pen HEAT round.  Having the 195 and a new commander in it training the Object clocks in at 10.1 seconds for reload versus 10 seconds stock for the STRV.  The gun on the STRV is more cool and calm and the gun on the Object for me is more "OMG! PANIC!".

     

    For armor in regards to TeyKey's comment regarding NERA using the Type 10:

    • When I have taken the Type 10 into GLOPS, the NERA is one of those "Dirty Harry" moments where you have to play the guessing game of how many times were you hit in a location.  A good player if they can reengage a Type 10 with their next round will park it in roughly the same spot and maybe they'll hit it, maybe they won't but it doesn't give much assurance to the frontal armor.
    • In PvE, with the bots shooting pretty much the same spot, you can get left stranded pretty quickly and have to drop back and play as a light tank for the rest of the match with no frontal armor.
    • NERA is great for eating the initial shot, but anything after that is far game.  I think that with the front mounted engine it'll give some "additional" support but I have seen STRV 2K's stranded with their engine shot out.  I'll chalk that up to the player that decided to whale their way into stardom without the skill set to use the tank.

     

    I would recommend it if you are a new player and you don't already have a tier 10 premium.  As a vet I wouldn't go whale for it.

    With the new battle pass coming out, I'm willing to throw my hat into this ring and get my hands dirty.

    Point me in a direction to help.  I'm down with the Euro MBT's and that is where my comfort level is at.  I can see arguments for the other ones but when you start to mess around with the general play styles, the Euro MBT's start to be the "wiser" and in some cases the "safer" choice.

    OS: Windows 10 64-bit, Build 19041

    Game Version: 19.05.2021

    Brief Description: The ability to purchase gold via the scavenger run is still inoperative.

    Steps to Reproduce: Go through the scavenger run.  When you click on the option to purchase gold using it, the window "minimizes" and goes to the corner of the screen where it will not move or open.

    Result: Nothing.

    Expected Behavior: Should come to some sort of interface to purchase gold.

    Fixes/Workarounds: None at this time.

    Other Notes: this problem still continues to exist and be a thing.

    I just don't understand people.  The XM1A3 doesn't exist, either, even on paper.  Neither does the Leopard 2AX.  But those are okay while the Kornet D1 isn't?

    The D1 is a logical mishmash of parts in the same vein as the MTLB or Sabre.  To me, that makes it realistic and that's all I really care about.

    SMH.

    I am one of the ones that are not okay with the 2AX.  I  was the 2A7 and I had a blast with it while the 2A7 existed.

    However, I'm willing to negotiate.

    It's not just grind, it is the worst combo of grind + RNG. Do 250k damage in a tier 3-6 LT, okay, fine. But then they also add requirement to be top in damage for a game to count so you have to hope there won't be a XM247, or Marder, or Ramka or some other stupidly overpowered bullshit tank on your team. And there usually is one of those so why bother?

    Not to mention that when you say that you need x amount of damage and be the top one of your team, it promotes players to go out and be stupid at the expense of the rest of the team.
