No they did not say anything about food, they said it is time for you to get "shampooed". I guess it has something to do with the smell of mothballs.... IDK what they are talking about, I cant ever find out what they smell like. There damn leg always break off when, I try and pull them apart.....

Shampoo time already!  Geez that was a quick year.

I didn't think much of the taste of them round sweets either, they smelt nice though.

Whoa! This place has sure gotten busy!

Would appreciate any input / suggestions concerning the Lowe premium tank. I have searched through general forum and found mixed reviews. Most important to me is it be a good credit and EXP earner, as well as crew trainer. Most people say best used as sniper.

 

I am a couple of days behind so I hope this is still useful.  I have played all the T8 Premium tanks a fair amount.  I am not a particularly good player.  For me they perform about the same. (I have not played the Jtiger 8,8 enough to know.)

 

The Lowë seems to have the lowest stats, but I think this is in part because I played it before it was buffed.  In some ways it is my favorite T8 premium, though it is generally hated.

 

Niether the T34 nor the Lowë have preferred matchmaking, meaning that you can end up in some very challenging matches.  Both will run profitably win or lose.  Both are capable of doing good damage.  They play very differently.  The T34 has a relatively high alpha gun that is very slow to reload and aim.  It has a good turret and can preform well hull down.  The Lowë can also bounce a fair amount at Tier, both turret and angled hull.  The gun is much faster, decent damage and I find that it handles a bit more reliably.  Both tanks are slow.  Between those two most people prefer the T34.

 

There are also several T8 premiums that get preferred matchmaking:  IS-6, KV-5, Super Pershing, Jagdtiger 8,8.  The first three seem to perform about the same for me as the T34 and Lowë.  I run all of them except the IS-6 in the mid 50%.  The IS-6 seems to run mid 60%. Many people insist that it requires premium ammo to run, but I have never found this to be the case.

 

I believe the IS-6 is now available in the Tech Tree and that is probably the T8 I would get if I were going to get one.  You should not platoon with other T8 tanks unless they also have preferred mm (e.g. Spershing, KV-5...).

Thanks Bri!  Glad you like her, I was hoping to kick off '15 with a nice addition to our staff.  There were reigning masters of pinup art in each of the key periods for the form; in the late '20s and early '30s it was Enoch Bolles, in the late '30s and early '40s George Petty (see Virginia, M.O.Ms Morale Officer on page 1 of this thread) and prominent through the mid '40s and '50s was Gil Elvgren whose work I've "borrowed" for the last couple holiday greets.  Alberto Vargas spanned all of the above clear through the '70s but the previously mentioned three are my personal faves.  Brilliant works that surpassed the disposable ad, magazine cover and calendar applications for which they were originally commissioned.   

 

Bizarre coincidence that they all painted models with M.O.M tattoos, ain't it?  Who woulda knew?  

 

 

[MistahWig_HeDead]

A warm mean old welcome to our first two tank-specific M.O.Ms!

Welcome to the gang gents! Pull up a chair, and pass the cake...

[flyingmuck]

Welcome new guys, now there used to be a pope around here who would guide you through your....umm...induction, but as he ain't arrived here yet (someone go wake up bopes) I'll just give you a couple small tasks to be getting on with,  #1 clean all tanks thourghly, use tooth brush supplied to get into those awkward spaces in the tracks, #2 feed the camels, #3 muck out the sheep pens before retiring for the night, #5 have some cake in bed, #6 wake up and repeat #1 through #5 again......adinfinitum.  May the thingy be with you, Marty will explain the thingy in depth to you at a later date. Thank you so much for attending.

[Bellsaj]

Clan tags will be coming, most likely in the next few updates.

 

It would looks like this for me.
