OK SINCE >27.000 bonds sit there, I was thinking of rewarding myself with one bond gift for newyears.

Equipment beeing quite pricey, directives i dont use,tanks tier10 not interested, so I am left with somePremium tier8 or if none fits (which currently is the case there are some obsolete machines there for sale) then this T34S for 1500 bonds  is the only option or what?

1) wait until Jan/Feb when Bond shop should be updated. 

2) if you can stomach it; play Ranked next episode and reach Div 2 to buy the Kampfpanzer 50t

1. T34 Shielded is pretty average when played, there is no way I would recommend spending bonds on one. I hardly ever play mine.

 

2. As Undutchable says the bond shop is nearing a turnover so be patient and wait for that to happen in the early part of 2021.

 

3. But OP your most played tank is the IS3A. Why not treat yourself to bond equipment on that? Putting Bond gear on a tank that you play a lot and actually think is fun is probably is a much better investment of bonds than buying a tank that you find does not  suit you and you do not really play.

The T8 bond tanks are not lemons, why not pick one of them if you don't like T10.

It's possible that this time they will remove some of the earlier tanks, and if it happens there will be only short time after announcement. 

 

I think only tier 8 tanks are worth it due to crew training and credit making. I just got 4k bonds in 10 days during marathon grind, so definitely looking for buying most of bond shop tanks. All of them are good, just requires different playstyle.

Buy the T-34s, stuff it full of gold and have at it. You'll still have enough bonds when they update the shop and it's a good tank.

 

Equipment is kind of a scam. A 100ms improvement on this or that is such a minuscule advantage given the price. A new tank is much better in my opinion, even if it's a meh one.

Does it matter, does any tank stat or type matter?

Do not get me wrong, for the love of god do not, but if you manage to get 30% wr in any tank, does anything matter anymore.

Find something shinny and pretty and go get those damn birds.

Since gun handling is its main drawback, and the autoloader prevents you from mounting rammer, I'd say Improved Vertical Stabiliser> Improved Ventilation> Improved Gun Laying drive. Notice that you can only demount any of these equipment pieces with bonds (200 bonds). Stabilizer and Ventilation are more versatile and can be used in pretty much every tank once you grow bored of IS3-A, hence my preference for ventilation over gun laying drive. 

 

Do you have any bounty equipment from the Battle pass?

Well, enhance gun laying drive helps. But I'd say the best is Improved Stabiliser.

 

With 27k bonds, you can afford to buy two pieces of improved equipment and still have enough for buying a tier 10 with bonds, a couple of equipment demounts and eventually even the t34s (which is not very good).

 

Plus, if you have battle pass you can also grind some bonds later on.

This. But it won't necessarily mean the new options will be better either. But who knows, the old stuff will still be there going by the last update. So you won't lose much waiting for something better.

I used to save on improved eq thinkin' the demount cost is kinda much at 200 bonds. I've changed my mind.

 

1. bonds are plenty with battlepass/daily missions/etc.

 

2. with eq 2.0 you can really use them and keep the special slot for something else. I.e. - charioteer(on this I have bounty, not improved) - bounty irm in a random slot, std gun rammer in first slot. Probably on tds there's the biggest gain from bounty/improved eq in 2.0.

 

out of the improved eq, vstab is obvious, rammer is very good(see above - you can place an irm instead of rammer in 1st slot on tds). Rest are debatable(never been a fan of vents).

 

t34 shielded... I have it from some marathon. Never played it. Question is: why would you buy a t5 premium? Won't ever make credits. You want credits, you play t8 premiums. Also, why would you buy a tank with a not so stellar reputation?

 

oh, and yes, kpz 50t won't make credits, but if you grind ranked, it's one of the best t9 meds.

I was sitting on 35000 bonds, so I gave my T49 a treat in the form of bond optics and bond stabiliser. First time I bought anything with them, really; still got enough to buy the M60 should I elect to. Perhaps you could give one of your favourite tanks a similar treat?

I run my Charioteer with Aiming and Ventilation. Turning the L7 into a proper railgun at tier 8 is worth the sacrifice in turret traverse and view range.

I recently bought the Liberte for 8k bonds and have no regrets.

 

Unlike the FCM 50T that cost me a load of money and is now utter trash due to the pathetic (Prejudicial) Match Making it now gets.

 

I'm thinking about getting the Chrysler K next.

The Liberte is a bae. I got mine from Referral (that is, I got the one without the funky baguette flag skin...) but I love every moment of playing it. A very good bond purchase, strongly recommended!
