Latest is that it should be up at 10pm (assuming I have my time zone calculations right).

Just gone back in to my account and I have no credits, or gold, or anything. Strange.

They did a wipe before it went live.

I heard beta testers were getting a free tank if they did 1k battles, 9 months and tier 9 & 10 russian tanks and tier 6 & 8 german ones and I didn't get a tank.

Can't believe I did less than 1k battles but of course it's wiped now so no way to check.

Managed to skip the loltraktor phase. One battle in the M6 gave me enough XP to go straight to an AT1. Hopefully a couple more and I will have a Marder II to go along with it.

I played a quick game in each lol this morning.... 100m signal range! eek OTOH, even the tiny non-premium losing XP was enough to upgrade the radio - cheap on credits, too!

I'll activate my codes tonight though..... after checking on the forum there's not too many problems with that system...

It is free to play, but you can buy gold at frankly stupid prices to speed 'levelling up'

Shame they wiped it all, I'd just got elite status on my Jagdtiger.

Oh well, going for a completely different route this time. Aiming for the T-54. As a Jagdtiger, T-54s were my worst nightmare. I could do nothing about them 1 on 1. I'm going to upgrade to premium when I get tired of grinding.

Still haven't fixed the packs of tanks that magically appear next to you frown

I'm grinding it out, great game but it's not an MMO and paying for this would be like paying for COD each month.

Only had 2 battles since the wipe, I had forgotten how st the MS1/loltraktor are. I did get my free tank for the 1000 battles so I will be doing a couple of battles in that and getting something better to fight with in the tier 1 battles.

It's pretty easy to move up with just 2 or 3 battles in the lower tanks. 2 bits of research, no buying and you're ready for the next tank.

I hate this! I have the enemy in my sights - plain as day - one more hit will finish him - and it disappears! That is silly, if you have them in your sights then they should not vanish! If they don't move, you can sometimes kill them, but other than that, it is highly annoying!

My win/lose has gone to pot since the release.... are there loads of noobs playing the premium tanks? Surely it can't just be me causing every team to lose?

Every game seems I'm doing well in the area I'm in, couple of kills usually then once the immediate area's clear, I look up and 90 secs ago we had 12 tanks and now there's 3 or 4 left vs 10 on the other team.

Can't wait to grind back to the decent tiers!

Running up both USSR and German TD trees (keeping an AT-1 with the HE gun smile ), German med (determined to get a Tiger (and Maus, eventually)) - might sideline and max out a Leopard for fun - USSR meds and trying the US arty as I haven't before.

The premium heavy I think I'll sell soon as it's worth 2 million credits (and would free a slot) and I'm currently making about 150XP and 2000 credits per battle with it frown There's been a lot of tanks I've done much much much better with.....

They all seem to bunch together - leaving the base free to capture by the reds. I can kill 2,3,4 enemy, and we still lose! I too am aiming for the Tigers...

I think yer right about lots of noobs.

I am indeed in the noob camp (having only started playing last night really).
I'm still at the "loltractor" stage.
But I managed to take the enemy base and hold it solo while there were still about 8 tanks a side.

No one came to try to dislodge me.

What is the rate of reward for killing enemy tanks vs winning the scenario?

Perhaps that is the issue.
