British Invasion Weekend

This weekend is all about the British tanks.  Both playing them and destroying them will count towards special missions.  I've taken this opportunity to advance down the British Tank Destroyer line towards the FV215b 183.  Currently, I am on the tier seven AT7 as seen in the image below.  The only thing going for it is a good penetration value and high rate of fire.  Other than that, I can not wait to be rid of this tank.  No prototypes were ever made in real life.  The engineer who decided to put the main gun on one side of the tank did not know what he was thinking at all.  Especially leaving that big, weak dome on top for the commander to sit in.

I wanted to add a video of the AT7 from the line of videos; however, this seems more appropriate. 
The FV215b 183's potential:

MeltyMaps' Math Mod

Today, I have decided to try something new.  I have downloaded a mod for the game which will allow me to have more information on my HUD.  Attached is a video about the mod if you would like to view and listen about it.  However, the picture below pretty much explains it all.  This mod calculates the amount of penetration the gun has compared to the armor value you are aiming at to help make the shots count and do damage instead of bouncing.  It also has a handy thing at the bottom of the screen that shows the likelihood of your own tank to bounce a shot.  So, it not only helps you to damage enemies but also allows you to prevent your own tank from being damaged.  What you see is what you get though since it is one big package.  I would need to play around with the mod to determine if I can customize it.  Until then, I'll have plenty of battles to see how I like it and/or get used to it.

Which One is Better?

This is a question that has been on my mind a lot recently; which one is the better tank?  Both of the tanks have the highest shell damage in the game.  With that being said, they also have one of the longest reload times.  The FV215b 183 appeals to me more I would say because it has a turret that allows it to turn the gun to some degree and remain in full camo while the JP E100 would require it to turn the whole tank to move the gun almost any other direction but forward.  The JP E100 does however have the higher HP and higher hull armor to allow it to last longer in a brawl.  I am about the same distance along both tech trees since I have not been able to decide one over the other.  If you would, please comment and cast your vote as to which tank you feel is better and explain your reasoning.

The FV215b 183 is one of the first ones in the video, enjoy.

Veterans

This blog has not had that many followers or comments on it perhaps because it is a game that does not meet what everyone expects for from a game.  Lots of people were out recently to buy the next remake of the popular Call of Duty game.  I liked those sorts of games once and still have many; however, after Modern Warfare 2, I feel they lost any real chance of being called a good game again.  They will go on to create many more games over the years while Wargaming which makes World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, and World of Warships will continue to improve upon their current games and will continue to remain free to its players.  This is not an attempt to sway your opinion about what makes a good game or one better than another.  This is an eye opener to the quality of Wargaming as a company.

Wargaming gives some of its profits to veterans' causes and historical preservation.  Veteran’s Day happened just this past week on Tuesday in the U.S.—Wargaming executives were at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii for the dedication of the new Shrine Room Wall at the USS Arizona Memorial. Wargaming worked with Amvets, a veterans support group, to raise more than $350,000 for the restoration, which cost $750,000.

 The version of World of Tanks for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console has attracted more than 3.5 million gamers; the mobile version of the game has 8 million players. Across its portfolio, Wargaming has 110 million registered users, making it one of the most successful game publishers in the world. It has 3,600 employees and 16 offices worldwide, with plans to expand into Latin America. It’s estimated to finish this year with revenues of at least $400 million, according to the market research firm Superdata, and as much as $550 million, according to Newzoo’s Warman.

This is good news for the war monuments that stand to benefit from the developer’s success.

Veteran's Day Weekend

By completing all of the special Veteran's Day weekend missions, players receive three days of premium time.  Although the on track event is still going on, I have already completed it and got the SU100Y.  So, I have been working on other tanks to make the grind faster with the premium.  Enjoy this weekend and give thanks to those who have served to provide us with our freedom.

He He, I got It

Finally done with the grind of the T30 and have successfully bought the T110E4.  Check it out in my garage decked out with camouflage already.  Also, enjoy the garage's Halloween theme.  Second tier ten for me and now to enjoy training my crew of the T110E4 during the rest of the week when I'm not doing school work.  The SU100Y will be soon to follow as I only have about 35,000 experience to go on that mission.

 

 

Too busy Tanking

This is a little late cause I have been busy on track to the T110E4.  I have a little over 30,000 experience to grind through on my T30 and it should not take me much more than a day since I have earned premium time from one of the special missions available for Halloween.  Don't really have too much to say at the moment since I need to get back on track.  Enjoy the following pictures and video:
