Thread: "New" upcoming game: Armor Blitz

But that's game advancement hindering event play, not event play hindering game advancement. 100 XP per map for 0 oil is not going to significantly widen anyone's commander level gap. At any rate, people will continue to feel the sting of the commander level gap until they bite the bullet, take one event for the team, and just go for max advancement. Sure, 5*s require more XP to level, but they get a crapton more out of each level they do have than 4*s do. Take a 5*'s level and add an estimated 20% to it for the equivalent 4* level performance.

It's all right to delay advancement if you've got an event going on (like now) and you're in a sweet spot where you can do all the event tiles, but other than that all your time should be spent sprinting toward 50 mostly with tanks you're not going to replace so you can finally begin to close the gap. Can't stress the 'tanks you're not going to replace' part enough. I hit 50 early on during this event. Since then I've narrowed my level gap to within 10 levels with my highest 5*s. My lowest tank right now is 27 (Catriona, from research, who does WAY better than her level implies). Average level of my platoon is 37, which poses no problem for clearing all event tiles at commander level 50 if I'm willing to wait for repairs between each path's tile 8, and it will just keep getting easier from here on out. If I worried too much about not advancing during events it I'd still be feeling the gap instead of maxing out this event.

She perfectly fits into the way I play, and can replace my 4* who has similar defense aura ability. 2K is a lot, but then again, who knows when we get another event, and until then I should have enough to be able to afford the usual event purchase 5* simply by playing the game.

We have Christmas/New Year's now, then I'm betting one for Valentine's Day, though it's too bad Valerie the Valentine is only a 4* (with possibly an overlapping feature of US tanks for President's Day), nothing for St. Patrick's Day, possibly a Spring event, and a May Day feature for Soviet tanks again. This is as far ahead as I'm willing to speculate, but the bottom line is I think you have enough time to rebuild to 2K cores again before the next event, especially if you keep your lights out scouting.

Maybe an obvious question: is there any effective way to powerlevel new tanks, outside of just dropping them in your team and waiting? I had thought about subbing out some tanks for low-star fodder, to boost the fodder before feeding them, but is the rate of return actually worthwhile?

Not really. There are few good, easy maps you can leave the tanks on Auto-Run, but if you build a team of L1 tanks, they wont clear it. Always have at least few high lvl tanks to open the battle with.

And you have to reset each map manually anyway so you might as well just run a map with better XP that benefits ALL your main platoon's tanks. Really, unless you're at commander level 50 you'll want to do that anyway regardless of any individual tank's needs.
