Holding down ALT while in a match will change the labels on tanks in sight, will add the tank model to the displayed name.

*GLEE* That was the marker I was lookin' for.

And I feel a tard, Gree - thanks for telling me that trick. Heck, I just learned a day or so about the "hit x in arty mode to lock you tank in place" - that was so helpful.

Er, actually, it pops up their silhouette, not the take model.

Damn figures since I just trained my M12 crew with gold this weekend. Half price would have been awesome.

Arty platoons are awesome. Nice to coordinate how you are attacking with other arty. Bregor and I kick ass.

If you're thinking of buying a gold tank, the question is: How much do you want to spend on one? There are a lot of options, but most of them suck. Really, what I'd recommend for anyone considering a premium tank depends on that answer:

- Just enough gold for a t3 premium tank: don't bother. Not worth it. Grind with a tier5 or tier6 non-light tank.
- 1500 gold: Churchill. T-14 is decent as a backup, but I think the Churchill is more fun. Both are the only gold tanks at this tier with forced good matchmaking (you'll never be the bottom of the list)
- Enough for a tier8 premium: Don't get the gold. Get the Type 59. Yep, it's back. That's a comparable amount in dollars to what you'd spend on the gold to buy that kind of tank, and you get 1000 extra gold to play around with. There's a reason the Type 59 makes so many pubbies rage. It's bouncy as fuck and pretty fast.

Oh, two more things:

1) Did I mention the Type59 is back (only for a limited time. This tank is now the McRib)? I'm really pissed off I bought a T34 now. Wargaming!!
2) Patch tomorrow.

Mmmm I love the McRib sandwich. I want one now :(

Damn I will have to get a T59(Kav not a word out of you). I can't afford to run my T32 and level other tanks. Its too expensive when you lose 10k-20k a match. Churchill is ok unless you are running with idiots. One match I was leading the charge with about 6 other tanks in the town in Fjords. They got a couple of lights to the base. I look up and got surrounded by 5 enemy tanks. All the tanks I led ran back to the base and I held out for a bit but couldn't do anything. They knocked out my gun, then killed my driver, gunner, and loader, and then tracked me.

OH!

Another free code for 1 day of premium time, plus some gold consumables to play around with.

ENDWARNA usable once per account. Probably only usable today.


EDIT: Also, if any of you or someone you know are creating a new World of Tanks account, let me know - I can probably get you a code that gives you 2000 gold and maybe a free lowbie premium tank. Only works on new accounts.

The Victory Day Promo code will remain active from May 8, 2012 through May 15th at 16:59 PDT (23:59 UTC).

PS: I have a bunch of new account codes from PAX as well (good for I think 2100 gold + premium time)

I elited out my E2 last night, and picked up a T20. If I work hard on my M6 the next day or so, I MIGHT be able to get enough XP to purchase the T29 while it is cheap as well... maybe... hopefully.


*hurm* I like the way you're thinkin' there Bregor. I do love me some medium tanks.

Got the Type 59 on recommendation. It's pretty incredible.
