Thread: "New" upcoming game: Armor Blitz

As for your edit...spend cores on opening factory slots and expanding your tank storage. Once you've done this (storage expansion will be an ongoing thing), cores are best used for events. Either you buy supplemental event currency with them to make up for not being able to finish all the event tiles or you can purchase the extra event tanks directly with them (for this event, PT-76 and/or Katyusha). Once your 'basic game needs' are taken care of, they're basically just another event currency.

If you're FTP, I don't recommend spending them on any recruiting. That's whaling territory.

Currently my oil is at 945 / 3000. I guess I made a mistake on leveling up at Lv 4 spots.

Still learning to play this game and thanks for info. (Although, still confused @_@)

Well, you won't be able to get 6,000 oil capacity until you already know what you're doing. But you should be driving toward the oil derrick at the top of the map (lvl 32, Locally Sourced) for 5,000. It isn't really THAT big of a mistake, but you may have screwed yourself out of some oil and that would have held you back. You can recover from it if you catch up to the tiles you can finish. If that doesn't get you past the next oil derrick, you haven't done yourself much of any harm at all, just the marginal increase in XP per oil spent that you get on higher level tiles.

Overall, in this game there's a balance between sandbagging and striving...you benefit the most from doing the hardest level tile you can finish, but you also don't want to waste time or resources on repairs while you still have more oil to spend. So you need to find the highest level tile you can complete without losing any tanks and farm that. As your tanks get to higher levels, you adjust to higher tiles. If you get close to the end of your play session, you can do a run on the highest tile or try a new tile, then let the repairs go on while you're away from the game.

I'm nowhere near Level 32. I'm still at level 17. XD

BTW, I think I didn't get a good resource on scouting. T_T

I picked up Panther II last time she was around, and while not the best sta wise I really do like her and she fits well into my team.
The way I use her is a secondary threat mitigation tank - as in - she is a weaker but faster version of our Super Pershing Sarah chan (never gonna get tired of this name ).
When I deploy a flank guard of TD and the enemy drops a counter I send Panther 2 who can get in front of my TD, pop her active, to soak up and still do some damage while backed up by the TDestroyers.
Plus - yeas she is very adorbs

Are there better tanks ? Sure. But if you lack mediums, or already have a solid team going on and just want to expand ? Sure why not.
I got her and T-34 100 at the same time pretty much and I must say I like her more than T-34 - now THAT is a lackluster tank. I am just itching at the first opportunity to replace her with some other tank (the event Polina is pretty dope with here paradrop, or I might go with T-44 who is more defensive but I do like her). Plut T-34 has both annoying looks and personality so yeah... :P
But Verena (Panther II) ? I like my kitty cat chan plenty ! :3 (and she is pretty hot tbh hehe)

@Jeffrey: The stats I listed are what you prioritize for the EMBLEMS you equip to your scouts. On the actual scout screen you'll only see durability and dps.

@Myrdin: Panther 2 is meh, but Ace is a good enough skill to compensate. T-34 feels like her sole purpose is to kill rushing dodge tanks, which can be done by tanks like Victoria or Catriona, so I'm with you on her feeling lackluster. T-44 is great if you want a heavy that trades some durability for more damage and 1 less cost. Personally, I feel like there is no truly "bad" 5* Medium, but if I had to pick the most lackluster, it'd probably be T-34.

T34-100 is actually an amazing tank if built properly, she just 1-shots stuff, nuff said. Plus, integrated 15% armor piercing and 5% Crit is nothing to be trifled with. Ofc., she wont tank for you though :P

Really? The T-34/100 has a 5% critical rate and 15% penetration base and a better all around stats than the Panther II. She's a tougher, faster, cheaper more powerful Jagdtiger.

New research cycle.

Panther II - definite pass on this one.

And I'm not just saying that because I got her as my login reward this month. She's a four star tank masquerading as a five star tank. Well okay, the M10 is a four star tank masquerading as a five star tank (we know about colored contacts, Petra) but the Panther II doesn't boast the element of surprise! ... or a three gear deployment cost. The M26 Pershing is very nearly the same unit and levels up faster. A Sherman Crocodile is easily the better tank after emblems due to it's higher re-fire rate and flame thrower passive. Probably the least remarkable five star medium.

Also she has less armor than the Panther I despite the fact that the Panther II was expressly to be an up engine / armor Panther I. So... yeah, I dunno.

On the other hand her turret is a kitty tail, and that's adorbs.
