After a string of horrible games in the 59 16 I decided to rage free XP past it. I'm finding it a little annoying that the Chinese light tanks don't have the same crew set up as the Type 64 but the tanks themselves are great.
Despite my low expectations going into this line the WZ-131 is quickly becoming my favourite light tank. I'm really starting to value alpha damage on my light tanks since I so rarely sit still long enough to make the most of my DPM. I was really worried about the lack of gun depression but for some reason it doesn't bother me as much on light tanks as other types. I also randomly made my own clan over on the Asia server but apparently I should've done my research because I wasn't expecting it to cost 500g to change the emblem.

Ok, personal missions went live as for yesterday. So far, I've been able to complete a few, but teams are just retarded and I've not able to go so far...
Also, some missions seems bugged, cause its not marking completed even if you fullfil the objectives. |

Some reports suggest that a few missions are either bugged or have overprecise completion requirements (I'd heard that "kill 3 enemies while platooned" meant you had to get one kill per platoonmember and no more). One of the crits missions required damage to a crewmember or internal module, not just tracks or periscopes, but that wasn't made clear.
I've had a few infuriating situations where it turned out that I completed the requirements for some other mission in a set when I was trying to do something entirely different. The main issue with everyone trying to achievement grind in a pub game is that it turns into 30 people simultaneously trying to do different (and occasionally stupid) things and not all of them need to actually win the game to do it. Or, why I shot a hauling-ass 2 HP T71 with a freakin' 203mm B-4 round (from my Schoolbus) when there was a full-HP Black Prince just sitting near it not moving. At least I hit the thing and the team won anyway... |

Well, the "Damage crew member or internal module" TD mission was impossible to finish it in the Nashorn after 4 battles, even if in the after battle report I had broken so many modules (I even lighted on fire a couple of enemies during the session).
I just gave up with it and went with the SU-122-44 to relieve some stressfarm credits and guess what: It completed the mission on the first try by blowing up an enemy track. |

I don't understand why personal missions have platoon requirements making them less "personal" than most of the normal missions. I'm up to the 11th light tank mission but can't go any further since I don't have any friends that play artillery.
It's quite a shame since I have a few tanks that really could've used the female crews.

I briefly repurchased the AMX 40 today, for the third time. This was the briefest ever, though. I bought it, dragged some gear out of the depot, looked at it again... and sold it right back. Less than two minutes. It was just this echoing in my head the whole time. |

While I've kept a few questionable vehicles around because I've made them work, the AMX 40 is just horrible. Using it comes down to getting a top-tier game maybe 25% of the time, and the rest of the time trying to hide and hope that no one notices you while you try to damage them with a limited selection of silly guns.
This (not me) does not happen very often. I mean, I could enjoy being really silly with it, but WoT's stat-padding mentality is stuck in my mind enough that I really don't want to have to play three other games to make up for the potential damage that the AMX 40 will do to my ratings. The realization I had this weekend as the big New Year's sales are ending was that while there are some holes in the tech tree that I've skipped (going back to the Cruiser II and some other low-tiers) and branches that I haven't done (Maus, Soviet frying pan mediums and the fast TD line), I just don't care about them that much to bother when I've already got a number of unfinished upper-tier projects. |

I've reached the first platoon-requiring TD mission.
I'm close to the first TD-requiring SPG mission, but I can't quite clear the hurdle of "damage two targets with one shell". At least when I'm actually doing the mission. It happened three times in the previous missions, but when I get out the SU-14-2 and the premium high-radius HE out specifically to make this easier, nothing goes right. |

Speaking of which, I just played a game in my E-25 today. To my surprise, I actually used up all my ammo! Thats right, all 60 rounds of it, hiding behind the bushes just blasting away!
This little box's conceal factor is so damn good I can pull this off. Hot damn! - Tak

I'm kind of glad that this is only for the stug IV -- apparently from the T28 Concept onward, all the missions come unlocked barring number 15, which means you can try to complete them at your own leisure.
Also had one of my best games in the T69 ever, and hilariously it was at the bottom tier in a tier X match while my platoonmate (Folterknecht of WOT EU fame playing his beta pre-server division US account) played his GWP (the only tank he had of worth left in his US account). Ended up with Top Gun. Gonna try to post the replay after I get home from work... Too bad it won't offset the freefall I've experienced since the IMs began. Was at 56.47%, now at 56.41%.
