Hey everyone! I'm still alive, just have some important real life stuff I've gotta focus on. I should be back by the end of the month - I still plan to rank before next year :lol:

I'm getting very close to that fateful rank, . I have enough to buy 3 M3 kits and still have a bit left over. These are the kit combos I am looking at, thoughts? Prometheus + Guardian + Legend - This gives me a good spread of M3 turrets and hulls. I get Fire and Smoky for MM battles, and XP, for 1,399k out of 1.470k. Prometheus + Cardinal + Legend - This seems a bit close-range heavy - I'd lack a good midrange option. I've also heard that twins protection doesn't help much. I get Fire and Twins for MM battles, for 1,381k out of 1.470k. I'd need the stable plasma alt as well. Challenger + Vandal + Legend - Striker/Twins/Rail is pretty versatile. I do lose out on the Fire protection and turret. 1.344k out of 1.470k. Challenger + Prometheus + Legend - Fire/Striker/Rail is also pretty versatile. No midrange option if Striker doesn't work for me though. 1.402k out of 1.470k. Challenger + Turtle + Legend - Striker/Smoky/Rail gives me a midrange option if Striker is not to my taste/gets nerfed, at the cost of a close range option. 1.342k/1.470k, so is beat out by the next option: Challenger + Nomad + Huntsman - As above, but for 1.273k/1.470k. Challenger + Nomad + Man-o-War - Striker/Thunder/Rail leans more heavily into long-range battles. Thunder is good with Hornet though. 1.285k/1.470k All of the above combinations get me Hornet, Hunter, and Titan for my hulls (arguably the best in each category), Zeus (the best paint <3), and XP (for XP/BP battles). Any other 3-kit combos that do the same could be considered as well.

Wow, that's really close!

I don't know, I feel like Dictator is not as good at higher ranks. All supplies is not that impressive. It's not bad, don't get me wrong, but everybody uses supplies like crazy already... Hunter is definitely the best though. Quick recharge, devastating effect.

This challenge is trash. The basic rewards are the same for non-buyers, but with all of the good stuff (containers) pushed back by a tier. Not to mention that we only get 47 rewards, not 50... over 60 tiers. I thought the empty space was a glitch, really disappointing to find that it's just another worthless star requirement. Rico XT is beautiful, but there's no way I can play 2+ hours1 a day to get it... I get it, XTs should be rare - that's fair, but throw a bone to those who can't play all day - something at least, it needn't be an XT... 1Without premium, 1800 stars requires 20 battles a day at 3 stars/battle, and 24 battles a day at the more reasonable 2 stars/battle. Assuming 30s average waiting time per battle, and battle times of 6:50 (Has anyone ever seen the very start of a battle?), that's ~146 and ~176 minutes, respectively. Halving those numbers for premium shows that even if you bought 30 days of premium for the challenge, you'd still need to play for over an hour every day... TL;DR The f2p rewards for the challenge suck, and Rico XT will not be achievable for the vast majority of tankers.

Is that some dude from Game of Thrones? His face is creepy as heck.

I recommend saving for an M2 kit. Then you can upgrade that to M3 as you rank. If you micro upgrade M1s they'll be obsolete in 2-3 ranks.

Looks like no one from the other side was on. Guess that'll be a forfeit?

I can add you back.

Just Discord is fine.

Uh... no, you aren't. Maybe you're on the wrong clan topic?

Removed members @hi-its-mebachoo_3000, ​@Commander_Rose, @Electron-9000, @ImplyBubbles, [member=kamatheuska], @gabriele02, and [member=legolane]. Reason: inactivity. Added @Truthteller to the clan page. Not sure how I missed the fact that he wasn't on there. Sorry! Added @RK143 as @Bwawa's alt. Or is it the other way around? :ph34r:

I love this. THIS is what I want to see. Seems very reasonable and very cool. I suspect we will just get 50% sales/x10-20 golds/2x battle funds though.

Yeah, it's not bad. I wasn't totally shafted. The spec switch still makes me sad though.

Still salty about the spec switch. Viking's been my favorite hull for years, loved the looks and stability. I finally got it to M2 10/10, and then BOOM! It's the ragdoll hull! :( Anywho, I came here to mention that Hunter's overdrive is really powerful when gold hunting. The first time I saw a hunter do it I thought it was really cool, and told him so. The second time it was kind of annoying. I dread the third time, not sure if there's any point trying to use Viking :P EDIT: Third time, not fourth. Apparently I can't count.
