The reason they looked at the horses teeth is because you can tell the age of the horse fairly accurately by their teeth. The angle of the horse's teeth change as they age. Also the term long in the tooth (being older) comes from looking at a horse teeth.

I’ve played it enough to confirm Skill’s assessment. 1. For a tier 9 medium it is too slow. 2. Its armor is non-existent. 3. It has extremely low pen for a tier 9. 4. Its gun handling requires vert stabs. 5. It’s has a low premium multiplier for credits. There are so many great tier 9 mediums that playing this just seems bad. I mean, just look at literally every stat for the Char(red) Futur 4 as comparison and it becomes apparent this tank is a waste of time.

@nunyabidness67410 күн бұрын
That's the whole point. They give away a "Premium" to everybody, they repopulate queues for a while. For the folks who can't spend money, and are accustomed to being whale food in MM, this is a way to compete without the grind. It allows those players to join game modes they otherwise wouldn't be able to. Most anyone spending money on this are in T8-10, that's the queue that needs filled out. Meanwhile the free players can still grind their T6's and 7's, while being able to step in for team-play. It also incentivizes micro transactions to put premium gear on the tank. Folks might not be able to afford a $60-90 tank, but a $5 upgrade they can manage.

@@nataliiateteruk585 I've been a free player repeatedly. Not on any sort of game purity basis, but simply two words: Child Support. The normal experience I get to deal with is at least 2 bots per team, and one side or the other will be uber-stacked with top-end premiums and the other side will be nothing but tech tree. After 50-100 battles, double uptiered in T6, you might break into your T7. After that it's another 200 or so fights at T5 to be able to equip it. Thus is the grind, lose credits getting into T7+, go back to T4-5 to build up cash, go back to T7+...

There's always a reason that Wargaming issue a high tier free gift and this one might be to sell more GSOR 1008 with the autoloader. About the only good point for the 1008 is that the top speed is 60, the camo is better and it has burst alpha of 1280 but that's about all you will get as you won't complete a reload before you are savaged by enemy mediums.

For a Christmas gift I bought my aunt (yes, my 71 year-old aunt plays WoT) a 28 Large Holiday Box present for her. I know WG says every 50 boxes guarantees a tier 8 or 9 premium tank, but it still works off of odds. In those 28 Large Boxes she got 90k gold and three premiums (two tier 8 and the Toro tier 9). The odds were in her favor. Thing is, she admits she sucks at the game due to arthritis in her fingers, so rarely plays tiers 8+, but decided to take a low-perked crew out in her new fancy tanks and she said she did better than she's ever done at tiers 8 and 9. Say what you will about those boxes, but once you get duplicates of the lower tier tanks they turn to extra gold. She now has an additional 6 months of premium time, all that extra gold and some tanks that (until they are nefed) bring in some bonds when she does well in a battle. Due to how well she did with those gifted boxes, she went ahead and fell for the trap and spend another $45 for 28 more boxes and got one more tier 8 premium and a ton more gold. With those mineral resources she converted them to tokens and got needed supplies through the terminal in the holiday village. Unlike loot boxes from other games, these holiday boxes give you something useable with each box. I'm not saying go into debt getting these, but maybe give them a try if you're short on gold. You get more gold through the boxes for less money than just buying gold and you get other useful items in the boxes. Last year's holiday boxes were garbage compared to this year.

06:27 ... as a dedicated SPG player, when they nerfed HE, it really made getting those 8K+ damage games tough. I mean come on, you hit a modern M1 Abrams with a 155mm HE shell IRL right in "the screen" and the turret is getting evaporated (Ukrainians are finding this out the hard way). Hit a wheeled BTR-82A with a 152mm or 155mm HE shell and the entire vehicle is gone regardless of where it hits. Hit the wheel? Scrap metal. Hit the turret in the strongest armor? Vaporized into little bits. I'm not saying WoT is real life sims, but the nerf of HE really took it a bit too far, especially for the big guns like the "Death Star"... that 183mm gun should be able to disintegrate any vehicle the shell hits.
