Free garage slot and more. 6 years anniversary.

That's how the garage looks right now.  Nothing really interesting at the store.  I only bought perm camo for my Borsig for 50% off.  Thinking of purchasing equipment for next TD, maybe.

I'm kinda proud of my 1st TopGun on Borsig :)  It's not as easy on tier VIII, there are many experienced players here.

Now, do I love Borsig as much as I thought I would?  Hmm... Nope.  This TD is big, slow, has lame gun depression, and it is BLIND!  I'll work on my crew, right now commander = radio operator, so I'll need to give him one more view range skill.  BIA is needed too.  And camo of course.  Not that easy.

Also, tier VIII is somewhat expensive to play. My dmg average is almost 1500, and I'm just slightly in plus on money.  Well, T-67 simply brings more if I don't use lots of "golden" ammo.

PS:  I'm a bit tired/bored of this game after my St Emil marathon.  May take a break at least till 9.18 patch.

Borsig!

Finally!

Retrained crew.

Cannot use some equipment yet - limited load capacity, need upgraded "wheels".  I only had enough free xp to unlock the top engine.  And I already had the radio.

Look under the cut if you want to see my current stats and how many battles it took me to unlock the Borsig.

Oh, and I exited the clan :)  Not in a mood to play tanks I don't like that much (Crom, T-34-85) and waste time on loosing skirmish battles, 'cause my mates don't have any idea on what we need to do.

Seriously?  St Emil with top gun - it now damages and brings some money.  I lost about 380k silver using the stock gun.

Boom!  Ricochet...  re-lo... dead.

Boom!  Truck down, no damage.  

Boom!  Quack! (6th sense) Dead. 

Boom!  Missed.

Boom!  Oh, nice, head off :)  

Boom!  Whaaat? No penetration?..  

102 games. I finally unlocked the "big gun"  for this piece of total crap.  At least it has better penetration.  I used a lot of my personal reserves for this stupid clunker.  41% winrate, 561 average damage per game.  I needed 58500 xp to unlock top gun, now 71000 xp to unlock the next tank.

If I look back at the entire line of German "glass cannons" - they are mostly terrible.  It starts with Pz.Sfl.IVc.  I hated it.  Didn't bother unlocking top gun, just used free xp to unlock Nashorn.  44% winrate, 350 average damage over 39 games.  

Nashorn - ok, that one was not too bad, just boring.  At least it had some angles (traverse), so I didn't need to turn Nash right and left so much.  53% winrate, 146 games (needed less, I played some extra games on it leveling up my crew), 670 average damage (that's "green").

Sturer Emil is the worst of them.  It's tier VII, so I see tiers VIII and even IX.  They have better view range, better guns and - players are much more experienced here.  Should I mention a shitload of good prem and non-prem tanks on tiers VII and VIII?  Oh well. Another 100 games to go (hope less), then I will sell this clunker and forget it.
