Speaking as the owner of an lvl38 maus it is outside of special situations very difficult to defend a 7 gear cost.
It is a huge tempo change in the wrong direction and the tank need to do something that allows other tanks to shine.
On its own a 7 gear tank is simply not cutting it the way the game is set up.
6th cycle
stage 16 (4-4)
stage 38 (10-2)
7 more to get that copy...
Have fully completed this event now... was a bit disappointed that the copy from the exchange was not lvl 15 like the others but since she is only going to be a scouting tank for me that's not terrible. I bought 2 or 3 core packs during the event I honestly cannot remember now, but even if it was 3 that is the same as an 11 pull that only guarantees a 4* so I think it's worth it.
Gratz. I'm still at 13 C after this pass, so spending cores on the event would be fruitless. I'll likely keep the two bounty tanks as separate copies for scouting as well since the high health is a boon there, and the deployment cost a non-issue. The tank is otherwise unremarkable. It is a bit shit that the few cornucopias I did get aren't going to be useful for anything, but oh well.Quote:

Stacking about 10k dur through emblems on Tiger and putting it in front row would be a fairly normal HT approach in that lvl range.
Of course if mediums can still take the hits it's no rush, but sooner or later they are going to burn up in my experience.
Your DPS seems a bit low on your front line mediums. I'm guessing not a lot of good emblems have dropped for you. I have found that for DPS tanks going 1 Crit Chance, 1 Crit Damage and 1 Atk Speed is the best way since Pen is only useful up to 30% or so, after that having more is close to a waste because of diminishing returns.Quote:

Just as I said at the beginning of the event...make the exchange tank too dependent on cores and people simply won't spend. I don't blame you at all for this decision...if they wanted us to spend cores they need to have the drop rate high enough to get us close. Of course, that will mean that some will get it without spending cores at all, but the statistical mean of cores dropped needs to be within one or at the very most two baskets (also, fuck RNG right in the ass for core purchases) to get the most cores out of the player base. Volume nets more cores spent than chasing after a much smaller number of whales.Quote:

M8 Scott - a good damage dealer against tightly grouped enemies but severely under-range for artillery. Place it in rotation to follow near one of your Crocs or short ranged heavies. Her skill can be used multiple times per battle, which makes her a good choice to field early on.Quote:

Cromwell - Drop defensive emblems on her. When you're front line starts getting worn she can draw fire and refortify your lines in a hurry.
E-100 - Expensive to field for only one 10 second burst of invulnerability. Try to get 10k+ effective dura on her and use her to pave the way for your destroyers.
You should be able to pull higher damage numbers on some of your high rate of fire tanks using +dmg emblems.
Eg. - A lvl 30 Sherman Crocodile can run 350dps easily with the right combination of emblems.
Do you not have any 4* lights?
Good luck. To be perfectly fair, they do give out a fair handful of cores. They just sabotage themselves with a really inconsistent application their core values*. Eg, 400C to reset the event run is absurdly poor value even and especially compared to the event shop. 100C for the wheel of misfortune makes me think they misplaced a decimal. 300C for an extra factory or battalion slot is actually on the too-cheap side and 750 C to gamble on 11 tanks is a bit on the overpriced side.Quote:

*Hah. I make play on words. Is gud joke.
