Thread: "New" upcoming game: Armor Blitz

I'm not usually crazy about Sturm, but if I can get her into that sweet spot and the boss fruitlessly tries to shoot her for the rest of the battle, I know I'll win.

Now then...my own question. I'm at the point where I have 15 5*s (one of them the meh one from the last event). My secretary is and shall remain the lovely 4* Petra (until I simply can't justify running her any more). With more event 5*s on the way, and of course monthly login/factory 5*s, should I start being more picky about which 5*s I pick up for blueprints? As for heavy 5*s, I got T30 (Nira) for my last login 5* How is IS-3 Alyona compared to her? I'm usually more of a fan of mediums...but a new 5* is still a new 5*. Should I buy Alyona?

If you want my opinion on the "best" 5*s that you almost certainly don't want to miss:
Heavy: honestly, none are true "must-haves" but I think Conqueror and Chieftain are the best since the 7 cost invincibles are hard to justfiy
Medium: Most of them are good, only ones I'd definitely skip are Comet and T-44. Personal favorites are Super Pershing, Leopard 1a1, Type 59 and Strid though most of the ones with "Ace" as active are great
Light: AMX-13's buff is great, Satan (event) is good assassin/evade tank, rest are eh
Destroyer: FV4005 and Jagdpanther are tops, Sturmtiger is good ONLY if you have the 4-5* emblems to gear her up well, Jagdtiger and Ho-Rii OK
Artillery: S-51 and Panzer (event). Maybe T92 if you like area stun as a skill instead of devastation

Few memorable ones, or some that made at least a bit sense, to me personally were
Sarah - coz her story had a point and the whole sex wasnt WTF. And it gave a nice warm feeling.
Meiling - that one I actually really liked, it had an actuall plot. Shallow as a puddle, but compared to some of the scenes, it was that much more memorable.
Cerys - Shot gun wedding was a thing in the past, and overall it was nicely handled and actually made me smirk a bit.
Minnie - coz cute ghost girl, and no forced sex scene.
These ones I remember as being somehow cohesive, and actually "working" in the setting they were ment to. (its not like these are the only ones that I found enjoyable, but these were distinct and memorable enough for me to give them a thumbsup when compared to some others which were just "DAFUQ?")

Ah, oops. I thought he meant an archive of researchable tanks, not one for tanks that would show up in the future.

They might have to revamp how the research lab gets updated then. As it is right now, it's clearly on the fly because every once in a while a patch will accidentally refresh it again despite there still being a few days left before the next refresh.

ODETTE SPOILERS

I dislike Odette's story because the general is supposed to be competent, but apparently he's willing to let a tank get away with jeapordizing her comrades' lives (or worse considering that the enemy is capable of giving you a fate worse than death by turning you into a zombie) and disobeying orders as long as she has sex with him.

THANK YOU. I'm not the only one who dislikes Odette because of that. Similarly, I hate Tabby and can't wait to replace her in my army solely because of her story, which is just her being a bitch to Rena and then getting rewarded for it...

I thought Olivia's story was pretty interesting, and very different from a lot of the other tanks. Lila's was kind of cute too, but the H-scene is one of those ones that comes out of literally nowhere. (Minor spoilers: it honestly should have been a lesbian scene between her and her American tank buddy (I think it was Shelly?) rather than yet another sex scene with our incompetent pervert General.)

Well, I'm certainly late to the party (I was in no real hurry), but I finally conquered the last tile currently available on Factoria. That tile seemed to be a lot easier than the one before it...I only lost one tank on the final battle. And since I started out from Ocica just two days ago I didn't gain any tank levels between attempts.

Now all I have to do is sprint for level 50 and any additional tank levels I can add between now and the Christmas event to start narrowing the commander gap, which means I can almost fully retire my 4*s, except for the last PoC levels (and I suppose the event tiles as well).

I wonder when they gonna add in Abyssinia and the meteor crash side mission.
Youp I too felt like the last currently available tile was easier than Ocica.

One the note of Ocica - I have been farming it for the last...4 days ? 5 ? maybe a week.
So far I got lucky twice - 1st was a 5* Armor Penetration Embelm (very solid piece, Victoria was very satisfied with it), and 1 4* Dupe KV-2 Veronica. So yes the odds are small, but not non existent if you run that map over and over and over again.
Plus since I am L50 the scaling has stopped and after my "Tank" tanks have leveled once or twice they die a lot less than how they used to before. No idea how hard the next event is going to be, but its nice to know that the "running up the hill" part of the game is over for me, and now its all about playing catch up for my units, until the whole team hits L50 as well.

City tiles tend to have the hardest finales. "Last Drop of Oil" (the final tile currently available) doesn't even have a special boss commander. Just another destroyer.

Though it can be hard if the enemy deploys a friggin' Wraith at a bad time. That's the only really threatening thing there though. Marauders don't seem to do very much.
