Not true. Vk2801 can oneshoot any Tier 5 and some bigger with successful ammo rack hits. I had a Vk2801 but I sold it. Mostly I was in matches with Tier 9 and 10. Could not do anything there, only scout.

I hardly think he managed to get 3 perfect ammorack hits in a row while speeding around. The guy was a clan member too, so he probably had gold available. Couple of us chatted during the battle and all thought he was using gold.

Anyway, I don't really see it as a big problem in randoms cause I believe very few players actually use it. If anyone wants to throw real money on me, so be it. It keeps the game free for anyone else.

the game needs people like those that buy gold to keep it going obviously so that people like you can play so what you moaning for....be greatfull you have it for free in the first place,personally i dont care what ammo people use....last thing on my mind in battle  :mellow:

i renew regularily my account to premium, own a premium tank, convert xp to free xp. so please, quit the "be grateful to have it for free" story.

Premium acc is ok, golden tanks(even slightly op) are ok, gold ammo in random battle not ok= the rich spoiled brats with no skill but mumy cc in hand ruining the game experience for the hard working class. Btw isn't this game comming from former URSS? The former comunist are even more greedy then the old capitalist from west?!

Watch your language and do not provoke please.

Since we've got some Premium ammo users in the thread, can anyone answer this? Does it show to you when you fire gold ammo, does it show when someone else is firing it, does it only show when the enemy is firing it at you, or none of the above? If it does show in battles, does it also appear in replays?

And before anyone says "Try it yourself, cheapskate!" -- I would, but I'm r/g colourblind and have absolutely no faith in my colour vision in general :(

it's quite hard to screenshot a flying tracer at you when you're fighting. but yes. i state that gold APCR ammo have a light blue tracer and i see quite many of those lately. it's not a deep blue... just a light blue more like cyan color. quite sure of that. i'll turn on my replay recorder to show that.

Could be. Im just saying he might have been pro or lucky (probably both). Me and my platoon mate both of us With VK2801 used to have good rounds against Shermans and PZ4's like that with regular ammo. Using overtarget marker mod we could see the "BLOW UP" message, showing ammo rack hits.

If you can perform better in random battles with gold ammo and u are willing to buy them, why it should be removed. It's fp2 concept!
So go ahead buy gold ammo for urself too and stop whining..

i pack gold ammo specificly to shoot IS-4 and IS-7 tanks in randoms with certain tanks, just to piss people off.

it's my revange for having to suffer nerfs in tanks that don't deserve them ;)


I like this guy.  The only bad thing in this is, that soon after they will probably make the IS4 & IS7 armors better and give them more slope.

guys, i'm not saying people using premium tanks should uninstall or the "you wallet warrior go home". i'm just saying that if we don't try to do something now, we'll just see more and more gold ammo in random till it will become a standard (almost like premium account or a credit farmer premium tank).

if WG don't do something, time 3 months and the only people not shooting gold will be the tier1-3 players with 50 total battles.

is this kind of mentality that i try to avoid. this game keep going forward to require less and lesser skill to play. RNG luck/unluck is enough to keep the very good players to own too much the casual ones... pushing towards gold ammo and setting it like it would be part of standard equipment, will just cut away who don't want to spend 10€ for 30 random battles.

i'm not whining, i'm trying to debate and argue about the way this game is going to be in the near future. i just stated if it keeps going like this, i'll quit and delete so there is no need to keep telling me that.

I know how VK2801 can be dangerous, but it was just too good to be random. Can't remember which other tanks he killed were, but it was him running around and boom, boom, boom, our entire flank gone. I was at 100% and think the other ones were in good health too.

I dont want to make you sad but.....

"Are you going to add new equipment or consumables purchasable either with gold or credits?
  • Yes, we do have plans for new equipment, for example, we are thinking of adding high-angle spaced armor."

But quite easy to screenshot a replay running at 1/16th, or even to upload the whole thing with a "Look at the tracer coming from my 1 o'clock at 07:05".

I look forward to seeing either or both.

Esourze sorry I don't get it. That picture is for good or bad? :D
If it's bad why? I never shot a gold ammo in all my 157697 shots but I can understand if peoples shot gold-ammo at me for their fun.
In fact we all play this game for fun don't we?

Why not just admit you use gold ammo to give you an edge in tier9-10 games.
