birthday tanks

[John Wick]

Does collector/premium tanks get birthdays?
Does non-100% Crew Mastery tanks get birthdays?

[EL_Din_46]

All tanks have birthdays. They even get to have four of them a year.

WG doesn’t want tanks like Rudolph to feel left out, especially since “all of the other {tanks} used to laugh and call him names.”

When I clicked on the upgrades for the JPanther, which I haven't played yet, and only up to 75% crew mastery, it doesn't show any birthdays like the others.

I find my birthday tanks either by the notice that appears when I first login, by the 5x on it’s icon in the bottom menu bar (when I have no other 5x’s), or by selecting only “5x 2x” within that tank selection menu. When I did the latter just now, only the AMX 40 appears. It is a collector tank that I have never driven and today’s only birthday tank.

I may be missing something but I don’t see anything about bithdays or anniversaries in any of the upgrade sections. I don’t have any tanks without 100% Crew Mastery, but I don’t think that makes any difference. You could test that by checking a >100% tank 90 and 91 days after you acquired it.

Ah, I got it now, when I clicked on upgrades, I clicked on the gun modules which doesn't show the birthday, but when I clicked on the tank, it does on the bottom.

never seen that lol

[EL_Din_46]

Ok, I found it. Select “Upgrades” and in the stats on the right, select “brief overview.” The birthday/anniversary date is on the bottom of that section. I always go straight to “detailed overview” for the stats on armor, pen, etc. and never noticed the date.

That is interesting, but I don’t know what use that info has. I’m up to 155 tanks now (OMG!) so there’s almost always a birthday tank.

[John Wick]

wow, birthday daily....

The tanks that I have won from tier 7 to 10, I didn't equip them yet, when their B.D comes, I don't know if I will equip them and take them out for a spin.

I just bought the SP I C. 50% crew, no equipment, nothing. But it has a birthday listed in the brief overview.

And now I have a lot less credits. Oh well...

Hi ho hi ho. It’s off to grind I go

We shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot
In our game the whole day through
To shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot
Is what we like to do
It ain't no trick to get rich quicker
If you shoot shoot shoot with a Lowe or a Dicker
In a battle! In a battle!

(apologies to Frank Churchill and Larry Morey)

El_Din, did you ever see me in the battlefield? I usually don't read player names, I only try to figure out which tanks are what types, there are so many, especially premium/collectors that I never seen before.

My Hellcat is now an elite tank, will think about the next TD, most likely it will be Nashorn next.

[EL_Din_46]

No, I don’t remeber seeing you in battle. I don’t often check names before or during battles, but I try to check the line ups. I look at the names in the battle report on most regular battles. Once in a while I’ll see someone i know, but it’s not common. I’m not sure I know your ingame name either.

New tiers are a challenge. You have a new tank to play, new tanks on red when low tier and sometimes new maps. I’m playing some tier 7 recently, but mostly in platoons with clanmates who play that tier already, or in special modes.

You might take a look at the Jp IV. It has a lower profile, reasonable speed and high dpm. The biggest drawback is it’s 5 degree gun depression. It does have much better frontal armor than the Hellcat. The Hellcat has 57.82% WR, the Jp IV 54%.14.

The M36 Jackson is another option. Slower but better armored than the Hellcat. Both are turreted. It has a 54.09% WR currently.

[John Wick]

I already have both the hellcat, and Jp IV,

Eventually, I will get the Jackson, and the SU-100

I saw the British have some TDs after Sherman Firefly, such as the Challenger, any info on that TD line?

[EL_Din_46]

Not personally. Hopefully someone who has played the British line will comment.

According to Droodles Blitz, It got a buff from 7.4
damage went from 250 to 300
