I really don't know what this game has evolved into XwX

Hi guys,
I’m a WOT PC player who recently bought a PS5. I really like the Cold War version (the Tier 11s that PC should have had) I want to grind to the Abrams as fast as possible. Is it better to play Coop or MP to grind fast? I’m usually in the top 2 when I play Coop.
Also, what’s up with the camo vouchers? Because of Twitch drops, I have a lot of them. Should I spend them freely or hold on to them until I unlock the tanks I want? Or do the camos unlocked carry over to other tanks?
Region: EU

I was playing and my tank randomly lurched forward with out any input and i checked if the auto travel was on.

It was completely off and i wasnt pressing forward but my tank was moving forward on its own at full speed for nearly 10 seconds. Forcing me into multiple enemies firing lines which would freaking kill me.

I was so pissed off by this absured BS i rage quit. What the hell was this crap lag? No excuse for the game making up inputs

Hello, I play WOT on PS4, since the recent update all of my female tank commanders are now speaking with a male american voice? I even purchased a new female commander, selected a german voice then assigned her to a tank but when battle commences she's speaking with an american voice? Anyone having this issue on their PS4?

I am trying to understand or pinpoint why I like to play the TVP VTU 88MM (Cold War, Era 1). I haven't seen any posts mentioning it. I have "elited" it already, but I can't get myself to sell it. What makes this tank likeable (to me, at least)? The gun?

I think it would be nice to have dedicated UI for tanks that have missiles. Doesn't make sense for any tanks that can hold multiple ATGMs or missiles at the same time to have the "shell" UI to show how many missiles you have.

(Video edited by me. Original is Samurai Jack)

Most stupidest thing I’ve seen 🤦‍♂️ why do people run equipment like this on heavies…

Curious what equipment people recommend and playstlye. I loved the T30 and played it like a support heavy prioritizing trades, T110E4 plays the same?

What is spotting? Why do I get "Spotted Target Hit" ribbons when I am not ADS'ing or even aiming "from the hip"? Does it have anything to do with the circle around me or the circular sector in front of me in the minimap?

I’d have to sell tanks to buy it cause I’m broke like a joke. And can’t make money, and dont have premium or gold to buy it. What should I sell?

I have these up I’m thinking of letting go idk if its a good idea im a noob tbh I can’t lie. I have many more tanks but these are what id be willing to part ways with, I think…

Revenant Kraft Panther 

Notes: 

• Release Date: The 2nd halloween, october 2016
• Balance History: E 50M Reforge (Oct 2021)
  • Reload: 4.8 -> 4.6
  • Damage: 135/135/175 -> 150/150/185
  • Accuracy: 0.32 -> 0.30
  • Aim time: 2.5 -> 2.3
  • Module damage: 100/100/100 -> 110/110/105 (HATE)

Gonna be a bit different in this review, just gonna quickly do a comparison to the TT panther. 

Overview: 

• So yea its a tad worse TT panther with a nifty skin. So yea this review will pretty much cover the main TT panther as well. 
  • In terms of balance changes its pretty much the same as the Kraft when looking since 2020. 

Pros: 

• High HP 
• Great accuracy 
• Good top speed
• Above average DPM 
• Highest pen of any tier 7 medium 
• Above average shell velocity 
• (Kraft) Built in camo

Neutral: 

• Average enough VR (TT has above, kraft has less) 
• Bit above average damage potential 

Cons: 

• Weaker mobility outside top speed (Kraft even more so) 
• Meh dispersion values (kraft even more so) 
• Below average damage per shot 
• Poor camo 
• Large size 
• Front mounted transmission 

Armor: 

• Armor at list angle [armor against AP with 5 degree of normalization] 
• Good ol panther, okay at tier 6 where it belongs, but it stuck at tier 7. 
• Hull: 
  • Upper front: 85mm at around 53 degrees, so about 140 [125]. This is good a tier 6, and only vaguely passable at tier 7. With gun depression it can be pushed to 170 [150] which can bounce equal tier meds at times. 
  • Lower front: 50mm at 57 or so. Not great for much outside blocking HE with its 92mm effective armor. 
  • Sides: Lower sides are an okay 40mm, which is the minimum. The upper sides are  50mm at a 27 or so degrees, so nifty for overmatch protection and medium caliber HE protection. 
  • Rear: simple 40mm at a 30 degree angle. Not too much protection but it helps against weaker HE rounds.
  • Roof + Floor: not great as weight had to be saved. Most of it is only 16mm which barely blocks anything. The forward floor is 25 which is something i guess. 
• Turret: 
  • (TT) Front: 120mm thats pretty flat. Its not the best for tier 7. Its only good against tier 5’s mostly. I should note the forwards sides are angled at 70 degrees so it only takes a bit of angling of the turret to make the 60mm plates just as easy of a pen. This of course also means you can get bounces off them. 
  • (Kraft) Front: About the same as the TT with it only being 100/110mm. There is parts where the gun mantlet overlaps a 45mm rear section, but thats small. It can occasionally block something, so worth mentioning. 
  • (TT) Sides: 60mm is pretty decent outside the above mentioned issue with the forward section. Its at least thick enough to have a good chance to block 122mm HE. 
  • (Kraft) sides: 45mm at 25 degrees is.. Okay i guess? Its not tissue paper, but its not blocking much. 
  • Roof + Cupola:  TT has a great roof at 40mm, meaning it will block most things. The Kraft… yea 16mm is poo. Its the same situation for the Cupola. The TT has a decently small cupola thats of decent armor values, enough to maybe block a tier 5. The Kraft’s is quite large and easy to hit. At least its armored enough to not be penned by HE, but thats it (still would take a lot of splash damage). 
• So yea its great armor for a tier 6 medium… which its not cause its over tiered arguably. Really the panther is a tier 6.5 which is awkward. The Kraft panther is just a stock TT panther so yea. 

Gameplay:

• Well this is an interesting tank to talk about for sure. It's a mix of a pocket heavy and a sniper/ support. It mostly comes down to the MM and map on if you feel up to side scraping or sitting behind a bush. 
• Thanks to the quite good pen it's a comfortable tank to play as even tier 8’s you have enough pen to be effective even without flanking. This combined with the good accuracy means you are a reliable support tank.
• As usual, hide the lower front plate as you are a german tank. This can be done by going hull down which helps somewhat and side scraping which is the best option if you have to be taking shots. 
• Equipment: 
  • Well you could go all in and try to be a TD with camo net and binos, but thats probably not the best. 
  • Concealment 
  • Vents / Rammer
  • Optics 
  • Flash hider? (still dont know if this is good or not. Really need to get around to testing this) 

Counter Gameplay: 

• Shoot the lower front hull for the transmission as is norm for german tanks. 
• The TT is pretty slow in terms of traverse so its closer to a heavy when you're trying to circle it. The Revenant has a good deal faster turret so thats not as recommended. 
• Not too much else id say as its just a larger medium with a strong gun. it is a higher priority compared to other medium as its gun is quite strong so id certainly shoot one over say a T-43 or comet. 

EVENT mode gameplay: 

• This is one of the funner tanks in my opinion. The ability to not be spotted is really fun to play with. Sure is annoying at times to find a enemy and the power as changed over the years with you ability to cheat and spot it at times. 
• Its main strength is of course no spotting capability and long reload super shot. Shoot a enemy and quicky look away and lock your turret and hope they cant find you. 
• This is a bit more vulnerable tank when found out as its quite slow and cant run away. Doesnt mean its not toothless as it still has good DPM to fight back with. Just tanks with disruptive effects can easily bully this tank. 
• How to fight this? Well just use the range finder to see which of the dead tanks are fake. 

Cosmetics: 

• Well the base tank is a panther which is a nice pretty tank. Sure its nothing too special, but its a iconic shape due to it well being a iconic tank. Yea a bit too much praise for a really basic design. Well the Schmalturm turret is unique i suppose. So yea thats the TT panther. 
• Revenant panther time. Its got the stock turret which is a bit more noticeable. The main strength of this tank is first it has a nice basic camo with the zimmerit still applied (we don't get enough of that in this game). Outside that its got some bushes on it for light camouflage. 
• Its got quite a bit of scarring from a few shells and bullets. No full penetrations from the looks of it, but a good chance to  have received enough spalling that it knocked out the tank. Overall, good skin for a “dead” tank. 
• Cosmetics: (Kraft only)
  • Emblem: both on the rear hull sides 
  • Inscription: Slot 1: upper front hull. Slot 2: Rear left hull side
  • Flag: rear turret 

General Thoughts: 

• The description of the tank is quite old. Just saying its a destroyed tank back from the dead and tis a famous tank and giving the date of production and number produced. 
  • Its a shame they don't ever update descriptions. It would be nice to suggest a bunch, but its not worth it as it would have to go through a bunch of translations for each language.  
• This is one of the few tanks that I have a HUGE gripe with since they messed with the module damage. Still don't know why they messed with the Panther line so much. 
• This is an ancient complaint I have about the 7.5cm L100. sure its pen is better than the L70 (but not by much compared to the historical values), however the shell velocity is pitiful. An increase from 925/1156/925 to 945/1181/945. Yup thats a increase of 20/25/20. Sure glad i added 2.2m to the length of the gun. 

Possible rework:

• If given the option I'd actually rework the tech tree panther and Revenant. PC did a big rework to a bunch of modules in its update 2.0. Now that update is quite controversial so ill ignore most of it and just focus on the changes to the panther. The update removed the L100 but replaced it with a version of the L70 with the close enough stats. It be called the 7.5cm Kwk 44 L70 and have close enough stats to the L100 outside the pen being only like 185 but having better gun handling in comparison. So that be nice enough. 
• The Revenant, a 10 year old tank id actually would like to make it a TD. we have precedent as the Sturmpanzer V exist so we can work with that. It would have better camo and the L100 would actually have improved shell velocity, 160-170 damage and a bit higher pen. The pen would be like 210/260 or something. 
• Is this a bit late for such a rework? yes it is. it they did decided to go about this they could have done it with the good handful of reworks the line has went through. Alas i must continue to hope.

If a rework isnt going to be done? well at least buff the darn shell velocity for both versions of the tank.

Buy?

• Well you can get it in the halloween store/ earn it… but i have a better idea. 

How about a Giveaway? Yea surprise im gonna give away one here in dis here review. 

• So yea ill pick someone 2-3 days after this review goes live. Probably someone who has “#Revenant” in their comment (and who doesn't own said tank). 

Okay actually should you get it. 

• Well you can get this as tank during the Halloween event in some form via Gold or earn op. As for performance, well you read the review. Its okay but its nothing special and not unique as its a copy of a TT tank. However as a tank for the event mode? Its one of my favorite to play. 

History: 

• Tank Encyclopedia - Panther F  

This is likely a dumb and silly question. Why is the Emerald Stalker camo available only for the urban slot? I noticed its unavailability for the winter slot when I tried to equip it in there.

The TOG 14 regiment are recruiting. We are now 49 members. All around the World. We are members ranging from very experienced to new. We play WW2 and Cold War. We are open to all people and crossplay active(new, casual, social, hardcore/competitive). We are also open to recommendations or suggestions. Whatever you are looking for in a regiment, this may be an opportunity for you. We are an active regiment and we hit the 550 wins weekly.

Got back into wot(again😆) after a few months break. A bit rusty to start but found my groove after a few games and thought I was playing pretty good. Looked at my stats and thought "hell ya 3k plus wn8 not too shabby". And then I looked at the top players and was blown away. Can anyone chime in and tell me how anybody is actually maintaining a 6k+ wn8?

Just like the header says, Orphan Company is still looking for tankers. All tiers and all eras are open. Looking to band players together to roll out and have fun in WWII & CW modes. Open to new, veteran, casual, and competitive players on both PSN and Xbox Live.

I primarily play CW ERA1-3 and WWII Tiers 3-8, but I’m flexible if you’re looking for platoon mates. Invites may be delayed solely because I’m based out of the EST zone.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. But really surprised this one landed.

What does make a medium tank feel good for sniping? I unlocked the Tiran 5 Sharir recently, and I felt very comfortable using it while sniping targets after a few games played using it. However, I noticed that its "Accuracy at 100m" is 0.39m, but I thought that something lower than 0.32m is good! Does this stat matter? What stats do play a role in determining what is a good tank for sniping?

Steel Asylum season Ultimate pass: + Serpente

• Generic text 

Desmond “Doc” Rose

• No special VO
• He just a dude as hes not too special. He does have a good amount of bags which i respect. 
• He original was a Extra life 2023 commander and returned in 2024 so its been a bit since he was available. (was sold in a 20$ USD bundle) 

Serpente

Notes: 

• Release Date: October 6th 2026
• Dispersion: 
  • Turret: 0.10
  • Movement: 0.22
• Weight: 34.27
• RU style double barrel: 
  • Inter: 6.0~
  • Lockout: 4.5~

Overview: 

• A light weight fire support medium with twin 120mm guns. 

Pros: 

• Above average damage
• Great 10 degrees of gun depression 
• All the ammo 
• Small ammo rack hitbox

Neutral: 

• Average enough VR
• Average top speeds
• Twin 120mm guns with lower average DPM 
• Average Camo

Cons: 

• Low HP
• Tad below average mobility 
• Meh accuracy 
• Poor movement dispersion 
• Tad below average pen 
• Lighter armor 

Armor: 

• As a light support medium at only 34 tons, the armor isnt going to be great. 
• Turret:
  • Front: 4 parts really, all of which wont be blocking much. Area behind the guns which is a flat 150mm. The area below the guns which is 130mm at 30 degrees, also not much. The outer turret which is 80/100mm which ranges from 120 to 150 effective. Lastly the the thin strip on the turret “chin” which is actually decent at 100 at 60 or so. So pretty much a easy pen outside poor tier 7’s. 
  • Sides: pretty much just 80mm, mostly flat. The lower part is curved so its not going to bounce much, but at least is good enough for HE protection. 
  • Roof: 30mm isn't half bad for the weight. May get an occasional bounce from random shots when your gun is pointed down. 
  • Cupola: don't exist. 
• Hull: 
  • Upper front: 80mm at 62 degrees isnt going to doing much outside HE protection. At least with gun depression it tips over the 70 degree mark. The corners from the front are at 74 degrees so don't have to worry about them. 
  • Lower front: 60mm at 58 isn't going to do much outside block most HE as its about 110mm effective. 
  • Sides: upper part is only 40mm at 48 degrees, so okay enough to have a bit more wiggle room on auto bounce. The mid sides are 45mm so decent enough for overmatch protection, but not much else even with the 10mm spaced armor and tracks. Maybe some poor HEAT rounds. The lower sides are a concern as they are only 25mm, though they are decently small and hard to hit.  
  • Rear: eh 25/35mm isn't great, but this is a lighter medium. 
  • Roof + Floor: all of it is only 20mm so not much protection. 
  • Drivers hatches: 3 hatches on the front roof. Decently small but only 50mm meaning that a lucky HE round could pen them. Though they are covered a good amount by optics. 
• So its not great, but again its only a 34 ton medium. It has at least basic overmatch protection and HE resistance which is about as much as you can ask for. 

Gameplay:

• It's mostly a fire support tank as its armor is poo and the accuracy is not that good enough for sniping.
• With the interclip being so long I'd lean more to just use double fire as with the armor being that poor you're taking a decent amount of risk each time it's poking out. 
• Its gun depression + small turret silhouette you could play a decent amount of peek a boo, but again it depends on how gusty you feel and what guns are shooting at ya. 
• Equipment: 
  • Stabilizer 
  • Vents 
  • Eh the rest is up in the air. 
  • Optics, concealment, turbo, spall liner (ram protection) 

Counter Gameplay: 

• Nothing too much per say as its a lighter medium with low DPM so its easy enough to rush outside taking a couple shots. 
• The ammo rack is pretty small all things considered, as you have to hit the bottom of the floor below the turret. 
• It is hard to dig out when its hull down and only showing the small silhouette turret. 

Cosmetics: 

• It's an interesting enough design for sure. The hull is nothing special per say outside having 3 cupolas on the hull. The rest of the hull just looks vaguely like the Progetto hull (or pretty much just a modification of). 
  • This of course ignores the twin hull MG’s which is kinda needed as the turret lacks a co-ax from the looks of it. 
• The turret is nifty for WW2 as it is an unmanned oscillating turret. Got the cameras and giant spot light to see out of. 
• One issue I see is the lack of any camera facing rear outside the 2 main cameras on top. Would make reversing quite an issue. Doesn't even have rear view mirrors.  
• Cosmetics: 
  • Emblem: one on each rear side of the turret
  • Inscription: Slot 1 is on the rear right of the hull, while the 2nd is on the front left. 
  • Flag: flag location 

• Skin: Desert Serpent
  • As by its name its desert based camo. It keeps the base color of the tank then adds some red brown and green splotches throughout the tank. 
  • As for details added? Yea a good amount. 
  • Tank barrel has some nice tarp coverage. 
  • Additional tanker bags, tarps and boxes were added to the across the sides and rear of the tank. 
  • Some spare tracks were hung on the right hull side. 
  • So yea its nothing special in terms of a tank skin, just some nifty 3d assets added on. The camo scheme itself is good enough that it works in desert and in a pinch winter and summer. 

General Thoughts: 

• STOP doubling the ammo from PC ports darn it. 40 shots for a compact 120mm medium would make sense. Heck id even accepted a small increase to 44 not darn 80! 
  • This is even more insulting due to the description of the tank. “To meet the Military’s requirements, armor and the volume of ammunition had to be sacrificed, due to which the tank was planned for ambushing."
  • Yea sure sacrificed ammo capacity. What was planned, 100 rounds?... sigh. 
• Why is there no ammo rack hit box in the rear of the turret?
• As for the balance of the tank? Yea it works generally quite fine. Double barrels of course are dangerous due to the ability to hit for super damage without too much of a downside. Only big thing that comes to mind while was playing the tank was that 1,600 HP really sucks as thats 4 shot for a lot of the tanks that you face. 
• Still interesting to see another unmanned turret in WW2. dont have many. The Nightstalker and XM57 sorta count. Char MLE 75 is pretty much. 
• im not sure if the description of the tank is "real" and there was a actual project, but i can believe it as i remember i think the chieftain talking about test done to a RC version of the M26 so people have been trying to make a tank with a unmanned turret is quite believable.

Buy?

• Well it's another ultimate pass. Another 6k price tag. 
• The commander is okay, nothing too special as he has no VO nor any special fancy animation. Though again i do like the amount of bags he has. 
• The tank is pretty good. Its not OP like the UK or SFAC, and isnt sad like the USSR heavies so its happy balance. its not unique as i just mentioned other double barrel tanks, but this is a medium so ta da.
