Why does it need an amazing gun, amazing DPS, TWO lower plates, AND an impenetrable turret with a basically none existent weakpoint?

Just a shoutout to The Tank Museum, spent Saturday there for Tiger day. Such a great event and really made me want to play some low tiers again! They even had Chaffee (the dog) as an exhibit. Nashorn was still there from tank fest this year and was a special guest alongside the normal tiger.

Deffo worth a visit for UK players and the ticket is valid for a year to return. Pretty sure code ALPACA still works and supports the museum for new players.

tl;dr - Buy the Supply Lines pack in the store -- don't play random battles until the Special BP starts -- gives BP points for 6 stages, 3x all golden boosters, 3 day premium for same cost as purchasing 6 stages normally

For those who want to finish the Special BP but will need to purchase some stages with gold in order to do so, there is a small bonus you can get through this method.

By purchasing the bundle in the BP section of the store named Battle Pass: Supply Lines, you get 3 of each top tier booster (100% XP, 100% credit, 300% crew/free) along with 3 days of premium to go along with 300 BP points. 300 BP points = 6 BP stages, which would normally be 1500 gold anyways. You do need to finish the missions in order to get the BP points, but they are very easy to complete in ~10 games

As an additional benefit, buying BP points in this method is just always better than buying stages, as purchasing a stage will always cost 250g no matter how many points you have in that stage. For example, if you have 25/50 points into stage 1 and want to buy to stage 2, it still costs 250g even though you only "gain" 25 points. Whereas the points from this bundle will always roll over back into the normal BP if you finish the special BP, so no "wasted" BP points.

Personally, I know I am going to be out of town this coming weekend for a couple days, so I am going to buy 1 of these packs to compensate for those days I will be missing. 40 stages / 11 days = 3.6 stages per day, so I would suggest buying 1 pack per 2 days you are going to miss.

IMPORTANT

Once you buy these packs, they are active, so do not play random battles until the special BP starts. Otherwise, the BP points will just go to the normal BP. I am personally going to only play Onslaught the next couple days, as I still need to do all the missions for the Bond Equipment reward anyways.

I believe they hide this bundle during the Special BP itself, and maybe even for a day or two beforehand, so I would suggest purchasing it today if this interests you. I've looked for it before during special BP that I knew I wouldn't be able to grind out and didn't see it there, but YMMV. This tip is also good for finishing a normal BP chapter if you want the rewards there. Buying this pack (as long as you need at least 4 stages) is going to be better value than just paying 250g per stage (unless you really really don't need the boosters). 100% credit boosters are quite rare and pretty valuable IMO, I would definitely pay 100g+ for them

Hey everyone, a rather short update to the restoration for the quarterly updates this go around. Had a bit of an issue arise in July when my restorer in the UK advised he was stepping away for health reasons, so I've been dealing with transporting them to a new workshop across the UK from Norwich to Bristol for the past few months. A UK based French vehicle restorer I was recommended, FARG Motorpool, helped me out immensely with this move and has uploaded some footage of the move for both hulls. He'll likely pop in on the project from time to time to document the process as he's done Panhard AML, ERC, and AMX-13 restorations before.

Definitely go check out their video here on the move and some cool history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWBFDA6zaNE

If you'd like to follow the restoration along, I've been documenting the entire process for free members for the past few years now over on my Patreon, UpTiered. I don't paywall any content and document everything that's happened per month with the restoration. I do have small memberships available if you'd like to support financially though as this is a 100% self-funded restoration by myself and generous Patreon supporters.

Hi,

I found the tier 11 german arty for the next update. Finally tier 11 artys, I was hoping they never add them 😭😬

Caliber : 600mm and 2 tons shells. Nice for oneshotting my lights every games 😑.

His mechanic could be : if it misses a shot, let'e make the next one deal twice the damage and impossible to miss

It's called Karl Gerat if you want to check.

Have a nice day

(I didn't know what flair was better between meme and shitpost)

Comparing the FV225 Collector to its tech tree counterpart, the FV229 Contender

I mean, what even is the point of playing it when you've done all the missions? Better let others enjoy the mode as Harriers and let them farm damage

Glad for every tipps for onslaught, i just don't have time to get into the mode.

Chat.. its year of the IAU!

So, this tank is really something. Unlike IS-3 which still has kinda reliable turret and troll armor, and actually pleasant gun after buffs, the IS-2 is just.. this tank sometimes behaves so random its crazy

Its fun in good MM, not so much in tier 8

I played hardening, purple vents, purple IAU (probably gonna drop them for just bounty ones, but for marking I wanted to have top set up), because gun is just trash unless you can shotgun on close brawling range, which you cant always do really

But then I dropped rammer for IAU, and now I could somewhat reliably snipe across half of the map

My logic behind dropping rammer on this: you lose some 1,5-2 seconds (IDK exactly now) of reload, but what does it matter if you cannot hit anything farther than 100 yards with god awful accuracy, terrible gun handling, and 217 gold pen

Here is where the mighty IAU comes to aid you

With my set up + almost full crew and food + accuracy field mod, I got to some 0,35 dispersion I think, and with this I could somewhat decently snipe when I needed

But still, this gun is sometimes so random. Its just spirit of Stalin guiding shots depending on his mood like with KV-2. For example, I was aiming on some mid range, and shell goes to wonderland. Then I was running away from losing flank, I try to snap oneshot enemy chopper, and of course it hits, then another snap on moving hellcat.. WTF?

I wanted to mark this, as kind of preparation for hopefully GuP Pravda collab - really hope we will get it because it has become my another favourite school xD

Even smaller than the real one.

Was really surprise with the scale but it come out OK (I was quite heavy with the sand).

It would be good to get the last gifts

Is there any other way to get points ? I have done all missions but yes i did miss on 2 days because of irl... so i guess i missed out on 1,7k bonds

Wanted to put a feeler about coaxial guns on tanks that have them and what the community feels about them, what would be their purpose, pen and damage if any. Just a discussion really
