The Grind - T37 Light review

5:03 am, October 24, 2014 This is my new way of reviewing tanks, including the grind from stock (albeit I only play a few games while stock) to help people that do not like to use free experience. Beware, as this is m [..] View

Do people really think arty is OP, or do you think it is just an emotional reaction?

5:03 am, October 22, 2014 For tiers 6-10: 12.2% of vehicles average over 1 ****/game, only 3.8% amongst arty. 41% of vehicles have over 50 percent winrates, only 38% amongst arty. Arty represent 13% of the tanks in these tiers [..] View

Tired of arty taking the fun out of the TANK game.

5:03 am, September 22, 2014 Tried to get back into WOT, but again it is just no good.  Since the beginning arty mechanics have been a burden, cancer, plague, curse, what ever you want to call it to this great tank game. [..] View

Yummy Mediums!

T30 is good, why is the E4 pointless?

5:03 am, September 12, 2014 I know this poor E4 was nerfed badly but man I just can't figure why it would be played. It has armor but not enough for tier 10 and with so many weak areas....  The T30 turret is significant [..] View

Light Tank Challenge, Spotting.

A lot of talk about light tanks lately..The fact is..they are very much under-classed because of mediums.
