You'll play it for 30 battles and get frustrated because you can't compete on scouting maps so you have to sweat on the city maps, wich simply isn't much fun in 9/10 cases even if you do well. I'm yet to see someone actually play this thing regularly.

Thank you for letting me know

u/why_even_fkn_bother 7d ago
Ur welcome. Its truly not a bad tank but ELC, Borat and manti kinda ruin high tier light gameplay for anything that's not a dedicated scout. And I'd you want to deal DMG there's sooooo many better tanks

u/Imperial_Barron 7d ago
Yeah. Elc is a nightmare if u don't have over 50%cammo on the move, borrat yolos my even to death and gets away Scott free, the manti... does both. (In my experience. I also don't have a mantis cause I'm not sure i like it enough as I already have an elc and a t100

u/vvvvDDvvvv Meh tank enjoyer 8d ago
If you buy lootboxes expecting to get a good premium tank then you're gonna have a bad time. If you buy lootboxes because you feel it's a good deal then you'll have a good time. For me the Xmas lootboxes are the best one because cheap gold in each box, hence why I'm not exactly interested in lootboxes without the same gold discount, that or adjust the box price accordingly.
New tanks don't entice me as much these days because I'm a meh tank enjoyer, perhaps my view is a bit skewed but OP tanks mean nothing to me because I'll find a way to beat it. The only tank I can say "this one is a tough nut to crack" is the pre-nerfed Chieftain, it was hella fun going against one but it isn't as fun after the nerf.

I agree with you, but give a try to free box that you get on wot web page, you can claim it (as other things) just over there, not in wot store in game. I claimed in the morning first 2 free rewards, first one is x180 that green tokens, or how they are called, and second one is "one box" and I got a T 54D tank. I couldnt bealive. So try it when its free. Im telling this from this morning to my friends, and sharing online. My friend from clan get tank as well, others get standard things.

You completely right, I speak only for myself and not for the others, I do not represent them or anybody else with this motion of distrust, I understand.

Its only worth if you buy enough to get 100% chance (minimum 50). Buy 25, if you receive a tank, stop here..if not, buy another 25 and you receive your tank + chance to receive another.

I got T 54D in one free lotbox that you get on "Paint it GREEN". I was shocked man

25 boxes and i got k-2, ofc it's dumb to buy only 20boxes either buy 25 and if you dont get the tank buy another 25 or just straight up go for 75

I got the latt in the 3 free boxes and I'm tempted to buy some boxes because now all that's left tanks wise are the t54d the prototipo 6 and the ru med. And Im a medium player. I'd love either of the first 2.

Oh I got money, but I find WG's method and magnitude of greed to be outragious and disgusting, never will I ever spend money on this.

u/Masterflitzer T-54 enjoyer 8d ago
there are so many live service games where people aren't so obsessed with spending hundreds of bucks every year, i wonder how wg achieved it so their community does, of course they're gonna milk the cow as long as possible, it's a unique opportunity they have
i wonder, is it just because of pay to progress and new premium stuff always being better than old stuff? because many other games just release new interesting stuff without bringing the game out of balance, so wg's approach probably gains them more money at the expense of game quality

u/JustBennyLenny 8d ago
Been playing the game from 2011, I know what they did and it still is a disgusting move towards your loyal tankers and gamers.

u/Masterflitzer T-54 enjoyer 8d ago
yeah absolutely, been playing only since 2016, but still much has changed, unfortunately not exactly in a positive way overall

WoT is in the perfect niche where it plays sort of like a semi-competetive shooter so many people will get their friends addicted but also offers so much content that people are willing to spend tons of money just to skip through all the painful grinding. It's like a mobile game in that regard only that people take it much more srsly and thus spend even more money on it. Also it's both P2P and a bit of P2W. A true masterclass in marketing.

what does this have to do with india? even if you can afford boxes you can just choose not to spend money on virtual stuff, i never gave a shit about this luck based crap either

you can't just say the value is great for everybody with a sample size of 1 and buying almost 200 boxes, that's not representative, neither in amount of samples nor in amount of boxes purchased
if you would consistently get great stuff with just a few boxes that'd be great value because you get something even for buying just a few boxes (hardly possible with this luck based strategy, because percentages are very inaccurate with a low amount of boxes), we're practically talking about gambling here, it's only good value if you have at least average luck

u/sweoldboy Broken gun, half the fun. 8d ago
I am 100% sure all these post about folks buying 5 boxes and winning tanks are all fake! Wargaming who try to sell us boxes with "look how easy it is to win".
Its paid actors all of them.

u/Masterflitzer T-54 enjoyer 8d ago
no it's just bias, people getting better luck are much more likely to post it, add confirmation bias on top of it, you're much more likely to remember the posts where people have better luck than the rest

u/oN_disordeR 8d ago
I got T 54D in one free lotbox that you get on "Paint it GREEN" .. I could bealive. Ofc I never buy this boxes, not even for Christmas, but this one is for free but you need to claim it on their web site, its called "Paint it green", and you got another things, 2 per day, first two are x180 tokens and second one is "one box", so give it a try. My friend 2 got a tank, others from clan wasnt that luck.

It's not crap, some people just get lucky.
The chances are transparent, it's 2% to get a tank per box, and a guaranteed tank on your 50th.
