What is the best way to get vehicle reputation? Some matches I get 3-4K, others only 1K. Regardless of kills or win/loss. I can get 12 kills in a PvE match and only get 1.3K reputation, and then in some matches get nearly 4K with only 4 kills and few hits.

standard for low tier, i'd say playing my prem/non prem T3-4 i rarely get more than 1k (non boost) usually what prime is dmg and spotting, number of kills is not heavy weight in reputation but does influence Cr income.

 

[burebista]

Yep, kills doesn't matter much. Damage and spotting damage are your target.
And also secondaries.

 

[GreiverBlade]

I SAID A MAP I LIKE... i tag red opossum i get harby ... forgot to watch the timer ... but a all T10 match tho


well turned out not so bad ... i like that little 6 wheeled bug ... nontheless ... 3 time less dmg than burebi... NUH! (ok ... 2 time, not 3 ... )

 

[burebista]

Hehe, new toy for ya. Gratz.
Not bad at all for an AFV on that crappy map.

Just wait for Frostbite. Or Wildfire. Or Ghost Hunter. Or something open. You'll like your SPHINX there.

I'm at work now so I can't see in game but the guys on forums said that now Sphinx is 20% off and also 20% off for T10 retrofits.
If it's true then

OE.
I'm really pissed off.

ohhh so will i be ... i bought it just before that annoucement >.< (just like the T9 during the gold rush and before the sale )

DANG!

edit 2: only retros it seems ... oh well same fight ... i always ended buying all i need just before sales ... nice timing (not OE fault tho)

confirmed, T10 full prices Retro on T10 -20% dang and i just bought the uni retro before that

 

[burebista]

It is their fault man.
They can make a calendar like WoT. Or at least announce it one-two weeks earlier.
Today the event went live and no announcement in forum.

I like the game but I don't like those communication glitches. In fact maybe it isn't OE's fault but My.com.

Silentstalker I think stepped down recently from his role with some other mods/employees taking his place in making announcements. So far, they've been doing a shitty job of stepping up to the plate.

SS was a reliable and clear source of information in fluent English, so although he's technically still around, this is just another one of many signs that my.com is paralyzing Obsidian. Although I'm not too well-read on the circumstances surrounding his virtual resignation, I'm sure it had to do with what my.com wanted. Fuck my.com for continually beating Obsidian with a baseball bat and breaking every one of its bones until it's unable to make a remotely playable game, but what can we do? My.com the obscure scumbag russian publisher being My.com the obscure scumbag russian publisher.

0.15 was most definitely rushed out to coincide with victory day (May 9) in the motherland. What to do when Россия-Матушка calls. Anyways now that I've taken some time to step back (well, not really on my own accord, more like on my exams' accord), I really haven't lost faith in Obsidian and what AW can be, but more in my.com and all the kinds of shit that my.com is going to do to this game.

 

[burebista]

Yay, I finally played one of new maps. Only once but I did pretty well.



tabasco, unfortunately you're right. It seems that Russians take over over Americans. Me Sad Panda.

 

[GreiverBlade]

yep he's right ... that's why i wrote "it's not OE' fault"

after all i also played a lot of Skyforge, enough to know how My.com are ... and indeed i would prefer SS to be back than the new one that does a ... terrible job

@burebista lucky you ... i tagged Meltdown i ended in a Harbinger ... (again ) i really need to watch out for the timer ...

edit ... BANG... look at the team composition xD and what's more : no death on the team


i should say that on the total dmg i did 2 M1A2 full dmg without any teamate around ( they were defending the base and i was just hunting on the top left ... the Sphinx is indeed a beast )

This grind is getting insane now. Already getting tired of playing the same two vehicles on the same few missions over and over again. The daily challenges are a joke to. 40 kills while not being spotted? The AI can spot you through buildings or if their turret is pointing in an entirely different direction. Makes matters worse when they occasionally spawn all around you. You'd probably have to play 10-12 hours a day to meet that. Wanted to give a new vehicle a try, but it would probably take me another few weeks to get there. The game is just too shallow and repetitive to make it worth while.

Well I did give it a try. Suppose I'll play a bit more but I don't see myself continuing long term. Life is too short and there are many better games out there.

 

[burebista]

Man try PvP. Maybe you'll like it.
But be prepared to forget all you learn in WoT (if you played it of course).

Otherwise you're right PvE is indeed repetitive. And on standard account is more than repetitive.

My advice is to try to play the game for your fun not for grind with all your tanks in garage and sooner or later (probably later) you'll naturally advance in tech- tree.

 

[GreiverBlade]

well i take it you don't play League Of Legend, DOTA, any pvp FPS (CS CoD etc), World of W/T/W, or mmo's (since once you reach lvlcap you just grind over and over and over, after a grind for lvl you grind for gears ) for me all games are repetitive and shallow (which never restrained me to have around 274 full run at Super Mario Bros on NES )

Makes matters worse when they occasionally spawn all around you.

that's why in pve you need to learn the map and spawn point, usually going the faster to main objective trigger overspawn and make the things worse but once you know the spawn point the game is way easier.

QFT a true advice

Well I did give it a try. Suppose I'll play a bit more but I don't see myself continuing long term.

are you on EU server? if yes let me know when online and your IGN it might be a little more fun to play with a batallion (if you haven't one ) and with TPU'er (lately i am quite often on, the other's a bit less but that's what i mean when i write "you play it when you feel to")

glad to see a SS post ... less since about T-15 Armata ... puahahahah ...

also glad to see the 1st victory X3 addition gone ... now i can chain my Chally 2 (i never thought i would say that ... but my next T10 will be the PL-01) and Sphinx/Merkava

Looks like I was right. Not that it was very hard to guess to begin with

I know you may not have a lot of love for Родина but seeing as you now see the light and glory of the Terminators I think you will love this vehicle. The T-14's hull was done rather well, preserving weakspots for balance but giving the Russian MBTs a formidable edge in protection, just as in real life. Seeing as Armata platform does not have a weak lower plate and the addition of the BMP-3's sloped and spearhead-shaped front hull with plenty of Malachit ERA to go around, I think this one is going to be fun....once I get there in a million years

It seems that the Bumerang-BM turret is actually quite low-profile compared to the Terminator turret as well, which is a plus. That is, as long as they don't take the word of those worthless, whiny PvP players and follow the legacy of the T1, Ramka and T2 by nerfing the T-15 into the ground to "balance" it better.

EDIT: I am a little worried about the top front hull, however. The T-15 reshuffles the engine to the front of the vehicle IRL, just like the Merkava to provide more crew protection, but we all know that doesn't mean jack shit in AW; if they make that a weakspot the size of Jupiter, then this vehicle is doomed.

front motor means also more protected motor if facing full front, with the Merkava i never got a shell that didn't bounce when facing any kind of tanks.

and the front of the T-15 is well sloped up and bottom it seems.

@tabascosauz ... MERKAVAVAAAAVOOM


edit: i totally challied that Stormy ...nearly 5k base rep, the other chall 2 was disconnected on cap zone (luckily the system prevent disconnected to effectively cap ) and we finished solo with the BMPT-72 (and 2 daily reward/challenge in 2 missions)

 

[burebista]

Speaking about Stormy I did something similar but in MGS.


BTW this is a game which I'm proud of.



Nothing extraordinary but we were 4 autoloaders and I've finished first both damage and XP.
I feel good.

ohhhh normal results ... now i feel less diminished thanks! (formal ...)

ohhh goody good they finally replaced the universal Mil Mi 17 by something more ... civilian firefighter'esque, tho the planes are still SU-25 Frogfoot (and most of the time with landing gear down during high speed and bombing maneuver )

 

[Flogger23m]

Should I look into a T-72 or Chieftain? T-72s weak armor worries me for PvP.

Also, I have 1 day of premium time according to my daily reward. How do I activate it?

Click on that lightning bolt from your upper right corner in garage and you should find all your bonuses in your Inventory.
This is a nice touch from OE. You can activate your bonuses when you need them.

 

[Flogger23m]

Thanks, saw that. Will save it for another day. Kind of regretting the BMP-2 now. Good at lower tiers but I got into a game with some tier 7s. My shells essentially did nothing to the more modern tanks, as I expected. Lower tiers are fine and I racked up a lot of kills in PvE. Not sure if I should go the T-72 route or British. Challenger 1 looks to have amazing armor but that is so far off. Seems to be weaker than the T-80. Are the missiles in the T-72A/80 worth it over the Challenger series?

i wonder if you read what we write, most of the time...

for the my T5 does nothing on T7 tank : it's all a issue of "knowing where to shoot" aka knowing the weakspot on each tank you can encounter (pve or pvp ) hint: it's green you shoot (mind the angle tho) yellow: you can try but not guarantee, red: be a little more patient and hold your fire, shooting will only make them more angry at you and focus you.

for the T-72 or Chieftain : why not both, if it's a credit issue well ... T-72 is fine in pvp : better Alpha versus durability is sometime preferable, unless you tend to make an easy target altho even with a resilient tank you will burn down like a hay stack (pvp player train to flank or aim at weakspot, even if some idiot can be found in pvp... player in a AFV that rush straight at the enemy, SPG that fire continuously without changing place, MBT that think they are invincible). also the more tank in your garage the better "ownership" bonus in the result at end of mission/match

for the Missile ... with the T-80 or Leo 2 or any MBT with ATGM (other than pure ATGM vehicle like the Swingfire or the M1134 and tank needing ATGM for dpm increase, aka: bmp/d with a autocannon and a ATGM separate) i never use the ATGM's until they are the only ammo i have (plus after tier 5 ATGM tend to be less effective : most tank have ERA Cages APS and if you struggle to find a weakspot or fail to spot I.E.: a APS on a Leo 2/BMP/D you will just end up wasting your ATGM) plus ATGM on a MBT, have a higher reload than a normal shell (most of the time 10-14 secondes ) and a slower flight speed also, sometime a ATGM land on wreck because the target was destroyed while my ATGM was in middflight
edit, even with the BMP-3/3M or BMD-4 i tend to use more the couple 100mm HE 30mm APFSDS than 100mm 9M117 ATGM 30mm APFSDS most of the time i end the mission with full ATGM pool and no pve kit used


edit: grmbllll the -20% on T8 T9 is gone ... just when i had enough to buy the Draco again with some retrofit as a bonus ... and ... well in the end it will just suffice to buy the Draco alone and have 2mill left but ............ D.R.A.C.O is B.A.C.K !!!!

btw, is that you @Flogger23m, highlighted in red on my screencap


edit: noticed on profile.

Challenger 1 and 2 (win rate 100% on the chally 2 ) i did 400ish to 0 K/D on chally 1 and then ... @tabascosauz happened (i almost hold a grudge for that xD )


some less liked tank like the OF-40 and Leo 1 (L to R again)


and the T-80 (win rate 100%) + Draco as a bonus


oooohhh the hesitation ... either i unlock the firepower retro ... but since i am already at 50% i would maybe rather get the 1st Cr package instead ... i don't need that much the FP Retro ...

 

[burebista]

I can't stop playing this sh!t.

 

[GreiverBlade]

three little points [maniacal laugh] *high pitched intonation* "OOOHHH SO DO I!"

 

[Flogger23m]

Nice. Most I've even gone in a PvE is 17 kills (?) and most in a PvP is 1.

I'm still torn on the T-72/Chieftain. Still have a ways to go to unlock them and credits is an issue. Challenger 1 seems to have impressive armor if I am understanding it stats right, although less damage output. I find missiles (in the BMP) harder to use in PvP. The window for launching is a bit small. Flight time is the main issue. Can the T-72A/80 fire the missile on the move? Stop line is about 1.3 seconds on the BMP-2, which kind of kills its mobility if you want to use the missile. This kind of negates its good mobility. Only played with the BMP-2 a bit. Currently have half load of AP and HEI. Good combination?
