also there's official discord (link in game), it's pretty active and you can find devs there



got PT from 100/100 pack, go on and hate me

I really dont care :3
Not even a single 5* from all those "4-5" Tank milestone rewards in this event or any of the previous.
Not even a single 5* emblem from all those "4-5" Emblem milestone rewards either.

As such I expect absolutely nothing when getting those, as such dont need to be disgruntled or salty if I dont get that 5*
I got plenty of 5* just form playing the game for a full Team 1 and currently I got first few pieces in my Team 2.

So you got one extra copy ? Good on you I say, treat her well she is a good support tank

***

So I must say guys, I am starting to like Polina more and more. At first I was like "ufgh this is pretty weak TD tank" but after seeing how her paradrop ability actually works, I must say, she is an amazing assassin in combination with M3 and a great, super cheap - 2 GEARS for a pretty decent TD that can drop anywhere up to 3/4 of the battlefield. Very good character and the cost makes her autopick - 2 Gears for a TD, thats a no brainer.
The 6 Gear Heavy, is pretty much a reskinned Mouse. Good if you can make her work, has pretty solid stat line and the damage resist ability is godo if used properly.

Its funny really... In this game the Event tanks are better than many of the normal Gacha tanks. The exact opposite of any other game of this type I have played.

AB is really generous on 5*, like top rarity unit just from login? hell yeah. And there's multiple ways of obtaining those units CONSISTENTLY, not just yolo gacha rolls.

So the event tanks thus far have been VERY good except Thanksgiving.

Halloween: Minnie is deathball wrecker and Edna is assassin
Thanksgiving: 7-drop TD is bad regardless of stats, skill is kind of wonky too. Hard to justify in most cases.
Christmas: Slightly cheaper Maus, 2-drop TD that can be dropped 3/4 of the way down the map, Damage Reduction buffer and the other deathball wrecker.

All in all, anyone who's got them all is in good shape.

My current team:
Heavies: Conqueror (43), Chieftan (40), WZ-111 (43), Object (22)
Medium: Super Pershing (45), Strid (43), Type 59 (38), Leopard 1a1 (41)
Light: M3 Satan (39), AMX-13 (44), PT-76 (28)
Arty: S-51 (42), Panzer (39)
TD: Jagdpanther (44), FV4005 (32)


Side Question 1: Who would you suggest dropping: Conqueror, Chieftan or WZ-100, pick 1-2. Can't justify having more than 2 heavies, really
Side Question 2: Who would you add: Polina, Katyusha, Catriona (Focus Fire skill) and Yuliya (Haste), pick 1-2. Actually I have every tank in the game atm (yes I whaled a bit, shush you) so if you have other suggestions, feel free to say so

I have no problem with you whaling...you're keeping our FTP game alive. Has it resulted in you breaking into the top PoC ranks?

Q1: I would drop the heavies...all of them. But that's just me. I feel they're too high cost, too slow, too low DPS, and the HP is just delaying the inevitable while you struggle to get enough gears to drop a replacement. Though if you drop them all at the same time you may suffer from decreased platoon performance. Someone better with Heavies than I am would need to prioritize them for you.

Q2: Put Catriona in there right away. In my platoon her performance level is equal to other 5* M tanks 4-6 levels higher than her own. With her huge range she can follow behind your deathball and you won't have to worry so much about her relative fragility. You already have one of the Arty-Chans, but as we discussed earlier in the thread it may not hurt to have two 'I win' buttons. Don't have any experience with Polina yet, but she sounds intriguing. Other than Edna, who hardly ever dies, I'm not too fond of Haste tanks unless you don't mind sacrificing and repairing them. My goal in most cases (end event tiles excluded) is to make it through a map without losing a single tank, and I never actually plan on throwing one away.

1) My standard deployment is Conqueror -> S-51 (unless enemy deploys on different lanes and then it's Pershing) and I rarely lose Conq unless it's either the last event map or above level 60 in PoC, so I find her durability sufficient to get the deathball rolling. That said, I'm certain 4 heavies is too many.

2) Catriona and Katy seems like a good swap in for two heavies, Polina I'd like to slip in for the airdrop and 2-cost benefits, but not sure who else to drop (probably will keep Conq and Object for heavies)

By the way, I can break top 1% in PoC unless I'm short on oil, which generally only happens if I go on a Jingle Bell farming/tank leveling spree.

Cool...I'm sitting on the fence between 10% and 11%...half the time I get it, half the time I don't. Not too terrible for FTP, in my opinion, but I can't get past 'enemy level 60' yet. Which is odd, because unless there's a huge glut of players in my exact position that's a lot of ranking difference for just one map.

Personally I would keep 2 heavys, but it depends on which one.

My two active heavys are Cerys who has the massive damage reduction for pretty long duration (not invulnerability like Mouse mind you), which I use as the opening leader with Victoria in tow as siege TD.

Next I have Alyona who is the support Heavy. I keep her in reserves when I need to reinforce a position that requires a tank that can withstand.
Movenemt emblem and her own active ability are good enough for that. Though I have been considering swapping her in for something else, so far she has performed well and fits my style of running multiple fronts.

Personally I am not picking up Katyusha. I dislike Minnie already to a point. The AI for this type of tank is super wonky, and her "setup" animation take so long you often depleate 1/4 of her active, simply by the fact that the first target dies and she needs to go through the whole fckn animation to redirect. She is amazing when she works, and sucks balls when she doesnt. And the sheer preparation for this takes to much effort and can backfire rather quickly (many times she has been killed by random AOE bs and insta gibbed before even using her one trick pony of a power).
Having two of these, while nice on paper, would be to much of hassle for me to execute.
I´d much rather wait and pick up one of the premium Artillery tanks, or a TD/Medium that has good siege skill like Catriona and Victoria.

This is interesting, I usually just stopped after completing stage #29 and I always get into the 5-7% (sometimes 9%) by reset. I suppose the score multiplier helps a lot.

I started experimenting with Polina, and I must say if she's got backup by an oncoming deathball that can overtake her and you time it right, her airdrop does really well. I haven't lost her yet on a lvl 39 map and I started her at lvl 3.

The only thing that will suck is that I just KNOW they're going to pull the lame 'wholesome story' bullshit with her.

Finally reached the point where I can spend the event currency I put in reserve for after I secured the main event bags...I bought two Soviet Tank Packs...I got another Irina (4* KV-8) and Yuliya (5* T-62), whom I've really wanted to get and actually fits in really well with my army's style. I'll have enough currency for one more Pack before the event ends, so I'm going to have to shell out 2K cores for one of the exchange tanks...hopefully one of them shows up in that third Pack and I can get both. But if I have to choose, it'll be PT-76 because I already have Katyusha's improved clone Minnie and besides, fuck that 'wholesome story' bullshit.
