You know, you can't take those GJN with you?

I guess that is a good argument, the one I tend to use every time...

Essentially it's down to read, reread, and rereread the requirements as its easy to get it mixed up - use vs end on, damage vs damage with, etc.

 

Ive spawned mixed tier vehicles and run amock only to forget the requirements mid battle ...ha ha, live and learn. 

In this case all 3 Japanese subchasers are 2.3, so you can just run a straight 3-car lineup of those and not have to worry about ending on the wrong one (unless you respawn in a plane).

Whilst the (non-buying) BP does little for Naval the Shop looks interesting..

 

PR.123K A-11 is a great stater boat for a Russian grind. Not convinced that it adds so much if you already have the TIII PR.123K but for a naval Ace the trade off of tier vs rewards is definitely worth it. 

 

Geniere (sans prefix) is a shoe in to replace one of the current tree trio at 4.3 which are hampered by their big but slow guns. A step down in tier maybe but quick aiming, fast reloads, good secondaries with HE-VT, fire control radar (when it chooses to work) plus the extra rewards is well worth it if you can take the pain of grinding the standard Italian trees. 

 

Ar196A-5...so when do we get a Swedish/Scandinavian Naval tree? We live in eternal hope. 

 

XP-50...would it have killed Grumman to hang a couple of small bombs off it? I won't use it but look forward to the million posts about it spamming air battles. 

 

And the 2 tanks...obviously no naval connection so for others to judge. 

 

Thumbs up for the options this time, yes even the ones I won't be considering.

I've got the Japanese lineup waiting, including the K with the spud gun up front which I'll dig out of storage.  Also a Russian PR.201K so I'm sorted. I best get grinding more coastals though if they start dropping such challenges more regularly.

To me it’s the second BP in a row without any vehicles to unlock in the shop. No „free“ bushes-option this BP either. I really would hope for containers of „random premium tank/plane/ship of rank X“ to be added the next BP. 

[Obirzoe 1,875]

Maybe thats a stupid question but did the BPs always lock you out of buying the speed up BP when you get it for free with the 2 coupons?

 

I thought I could use the coupons and then top up for 15 levels with 500 gold instead of spending 2500.

I havent paid a single BP since the EBR one and always started from 0 every time yes.

[qpranger 1,870]

Am I right in seeing that the AMX tank will have BR of 7.3 with a maximum penetration of just 209 mm? If so, is this some kind of a joke by the developers that I do not understand?

Maybe but I would have spent 500 GE to get that boost, but if Gaijin doesn't want that money then I am happy too. xD

It has the same BR than Char 25t. It has less pen than Lorraine 40t and AMX-50 (TOA100) but it has a nice amount of explosive filler.

Not good enough.

More than enough, Char 25t is a beast, this is little bigger but premium.

From what I remember when I was playing those french tanks to see Char 25t with a higher BR than Lorraine 40t and AMX-50 is something really weird, they must have buffed Char 25t pretty hard.

[qpranger 1,870]

I play Arcade and sneaky flanking does not work as well in Arcade, so I am more often having to penetrate an alert enemy in their frontal armor, I am not sure this tank at this BR with this penetration will be useful to me, maybe sell it on the Meerkat.

I play Arcade too. Sometimes explosive filler is more important than pen. I played those french tanks and I can only think of one thing that could justify Char 25t having a higher BR than the regular AMX-50, that shell. It will be a more maneuverable Char 25t with a 4s autoloader and premium.

Take the R3, rush a cap. Try to bait a plane and shoot it down, respawn in a cas plane and find easy prey.

 

Alternative: Get a good vehicle and rush a cap, get a kill, respawn in a potent fighter and ruin the fun of CAS players

That is just the Ground Battles part, then you need to do the same in Air and Naval Battles. Good Luck!

The air one is trivial in arcade unless NPC tanks don't count then its impossible. Also its nonsense that you can't do it in RB. Vehicle type specific challenges, sure fair enough. Arcade/Realistic specific, pretty lame.

Trivial if you can cap, it depends on the map you get. Air Domination was not very common when I used to play Air AB. Unless they count capturing the airfields.

[VT_88 342]

The first challenge has been raised from 100 planes to 150 planes

[Waelse 267]

In BP 8 it was 125. In BP 9 it was 250 kills + assists.

[Dodo_Dud 5,074]

From the way I read Life Guard, you have freedom in what you kill. (But likely, it has to be a player vehicle). So in air, you land an airfield and kill a plane.

Naval seems to be: Rush the shallow cap and shoot a dinky. Ground seems to be the same.

 

As the task comes with level 40, many people will have a long time to do it. Likely, it will just happen if you play the relevant modes.

That scorpio decal is fictional? I can't find any info about it.

Must be domination maps I'd say, cap an airfield, destroy a plane, destroy an ai vehicle, done. Easy in itself, but might drag out since it only works on domination. Usually I get ground attack maps, except when I get a task to destroy bases, that's when I get domination
