So...I finally got the M22 Locust as well as the BT-SV from working at a small cafe of some sort (really good teas). So I saved up, and WOTB being my hobby, I invested money into it, I thought it out and I bought it.
The M22 Locust is very good! It has an above average penetration, it's armor is somewhat bouncy against auto cannons, and dang is it fast.
However, like all tanks, it has a downside. It is very...VERY slow at turning. Almost slow enough to not be able to COD a Matilda. I usually just rush out and get rid of one or two enemies with the help of the adrenaline (the thing that makes you shoot faster....) and pretty much thats it.
The BT-SV on the other hand, is fast. Faster than my T2 Light (which is crazy). Traverse is okay, pen is AMAZING, and the slope on that thing will bounce auto cannons like laser off a mirror. The only downside is the small turret, and the ridiculous low gun depression angle.
-Overall, I like both. They are great tanks and very nice especially when taking breaks from my cumbersome tanks and just being able to yolo without being called a noob.
Now here's the story. I bought both bundles and I had 150 gold giving me exactly 7600 gold which is the right amount for the T34 which I had been wanting. I buy play it and then there is a panther on my team. I tell the team to go to the desert where there are lots of hull down spots instead of just brawling in the mountain things (oasis palms). Then I say that we should've gone the desert and argument breaks out when the Panther is killed. After the end of the game, he talks about how I am a little child who should "enjoy the basement and eat the cookies my grandmother had made". One, my grandmother makes delicious cookies (which I don't share). And two, he called me a wallet warrior. I asked him to define wallet warrior and he told me, "some 12 year old who spends money on this pathetic game". Then I corrected him saying that its people usually unskilled drivers who purchase high tier premium tanks and fail in them. I tell him the true definition yet he continues to argue. He goes on to this point where he starts using words I have NEVER EVER heard of (I am in AP English in freshman year), so yes, I would know my vocab! I assumed he probably searched on the thesaurus to say these words as it took him 1-1.5 minutes to say a short sentence of text. He then tells me to "get a life" and not waste money on this game. I reply by saying there is nothing wrong with me spending my HARD EARNED money on something that is one, my hobby, and two, something I use to just relax.
-He probably knew he got nothing to say and continues to say how he is a better player...he has a 45 win rate with around 12k battles. He only has a total of 17 master battles to my 30 with my 5436 battles.
This post was to let you know and ask, what exactly is so bad about spending money on this game (he points out how I have 8 premium tanks and therefore a wallet warrior). I got the tetrarch, t2light, m3 light for free. I bought the Shinobi from a raffle giftcard, I got the T34 for "free", and I got the Locust and Bt-SV from my own money.
Also, this post is to talk about the BT-SV and the Locust (which I ADORE).
Finally, contribute with stories of your own such as above.
Thanks for reading
*PS, buy the bundles. They are a really good price for what you get, and the BT-SV and the PZ 2J might not EVER be on sale again. It ends tomorrow!
