Just did my MT15 and thats my third female tank crew member. Was a bit funny to do mission in vk30.02 M and then put her in to that tank too.

I did it in first go too. Some proper look. I caught T67 with pants down and then Yoloed it on AT2 with premium ammo

. Was having a great game with 2k++ damage done, but still lost it, so no "honours".

So... LT and SPG left... I got only hummel and its a pain in a hole. I am on the mission where I need to do damage to 2 enemies with one shell. Pretty much impossible at that tier.

LT is just pain in a gap. I got only AMX ELC and I hate it with a passion. No proper turret makes it really annoying, specially when my mission is to get 3 hits on the move. No way I can do it with ELC.

Depends on map ... mines with a good center hill rush would do it .... I think i did it on my very first attempt ... however i was in a T92 shooting a premium round

I spent ages at this too ... then threw my hat at it. Then thought I would work on the new British TD line again and did it in my first game in the Valentine .... basically its as slow as hell and you take just about all your shots on the move ... even got the secondary

VikingG · 26-02-2015 10:35am

cant see you doing LT15 in an ELC.... I have been trying since the weekend to get LT15 in a T71 and AMX 13-75 .. I got close a few times but it is totally map dependent, team dependent .. both yours and theirs.

What I would suggest is to find someone in tier 8 and platoon with them, maybe an arty, and work with them

I think the SPG one is easy but think you will still need a tier 7 SPG... however the tier 6 Hummel it should be possible. I hit the 2 tanks on Sand River in defence mode as there is a choke point on the far right where you will always find 2 or 3 heavies clinging together.

Actually Valentine makes sense lol. We play in Valentine BP russian premium alot and you do yolo on the move shots all the time. I might just free xp to light valentine. Cheers!

I've scored a double kill with the Hummel so it's doable but it's much harder compared to higher tiers due to the limited plash range. They basically need to be hull to hull.

ShadowHearth · 02-03-2015 2:29am

Lol, Did the LT mission where I need to hit 3 different targets on the move in ELC!!! I just yoloed in to enemy base and started shooting arty, then flanked the arse of enemy heavy line and had a shot on the move.

Aenaes · 02-03-2015 2:22pm

Was platooning with a guy going for T55. He's stuck on SPG 5 and is raging. You have to track three enemy vehicles and they have to die before their track is repaired.

copeyhagen · 02-03-2015 10:37pm

lt 15 done tonight with secondary completed too.
said fook it, was gonna play lt only until i got it, got it after about 8 games.

switching between wz132, m41 and type 64. got malinovka in 132, passive spotted from bush beside the lake and got way over the 4k.

took a while but i got my shiny stug. dont give a **** about the stug, just waned new missions for all the other classes

Nody · 03-03-2015 10:26am

I've parked all missions for now to be honest; the only tank I'm interested in I'll never get (tier X heavy) and with 4 out of 5 being platoon missions (LT is the cap one...) currently combined with having 6 tier 9s that are 50k to 150k away from being tier X my focus is on getting those done and paid for (only 26.5 million credits >.<.

I have played LT not exclusively for a week... today I got 3956 spotting damage and what was really frustrating is that I would have got it except my team capped out.. I have got over 3500 about 4 times... but will get it!

VikingG · 04-03-2015 10:55am

OK finally got LT15..... on Fiery Salient as most people will do... and it was a close run thing as I got 4089 spotting damage... good thing I did not kill the SPG at the end

I just checked over the last 2 weeks I played 128 battles in my T71 and 61 in the AMX 13 75, but in those 200 battles I would say I got Prokovoka/Fiery Salient no more than 4 times. Now the good thing is that I found some good spotting locations on some of the other maps such as swamp and redshire so I have learned something.

So now have my STUG but need a break....

copeyhagen · 04-03-2015 5:26pm

thats one good thing, i would rarely have passive scouted before when playing lt's, now i know good spots for every map nearly haha.

Aenaes · 13-05-2015 1:04pm

List of the missions for 9.8: http://test.tanks.gg/en/wot/missions

I'm not sure if they're finalised or subject to change again. Most of the changes seem to be good.

I've been close(ish) to T28 Concept for a little while, I need LT15 and MT15 to complete.

VikingG · 20-05-2015 4:07pm

The great thing is that the missions have simplified a bit.... for instance the one to damage 3 tanks with one arty shot is gone... alot of the really hard ones seem to have gone down a level

Spear · 20-05-2015 4:11pm

And the dreaded LT15 is much easier. Even that annoying base capture stuff is simplified as base defence counts now instead.

copeyhagen · 25-05-2015 9:42am

finally got ht15 for the t28.

bought the vk4502b on sat, 9 games in and ht15 done, with the standard turret. tier 9 game on sand river. fairly even matchup with tanks and stats.

bounced 7,600
dealt 2,200
hp used 1,100

they had one arty that thankfully ignored me, i just kept bouncing and bouncing and angling.. its a pretty fun tank, but way slower than my e75 which i got last week. both have top engines.

Aenaes · 30-05-2015 12:09pm

So I finally completed LT 15 for the T28 Concept yesterday. The mission is to reach 5k damage from either shooting, spotting or tracking enemies.

Before the patch I think only damage from spotting and tracking enemies counted and I seemingly could never get the right map/team. Yesterday was Prokhorovka in my AMX 13 90, tier IX battle, no artillery. I was able to passively spot on the 1 line in the forest. Even though it was looking bad as I initially got spotted myself when I went there first I managed to wheel away and return to a bush unspotted.

An Object 704 and SU-152 on my team both did over 5k damage. I ended the battle with 7,930 damage caused with my assistance.

Spear · 30-05-2015 7:48pm

I've gotten a load more done over the last few days, with only 5 or so left for the HTC. I seem to be stumbling on simple things, like pop two arties, or get 20 decap points. Common occurrences normally, just not now that I need them.

Aenaes · 30-05-2015 8:40pm

I only have MT 15 left. They've switched it from killing three enemy TDs to causing 2k damage to enemy TDs. I'm not sure if it's easier or not. Three kills could be done on any tier but 2k damage limits it to 8-10 really.

There seems to be a lack of TDs in battles, or on the enemy team at least.

I did that one just last night. It really obviously favours a tier 10, but even then you're looking at at least 7 penetrating shots from something like an object 140. In my case I did it with some long range side shots against a Foch 155, followed by getting onto the side of a 704.

copeyhagen · 02-06-2015 2:34pm

got lt15 for the t28 finished, same as the first lt15 on the stug. sat in bush spotting, minimised for 2 mins, went back, pushed the enemy flank and done a tonne of spotting and a tonne of personal damage. have a serious love affair with t49 at the moment.

just the incinerator and mt15 and i have my t28.

Spear · 02-06-2015 5:29pm

I now have LT15, and two TD ones to do. Did HT15 yesterday in only 4 goes. A good game in the Maus had 7.9k bounced, 5.6k damage done, and 2k damage taken.

Spear · 05-06-2015 9:20pm

LT15 done, and quite gloriously too:

Nody · 11-06-2015 9:05am

Quick question on claiming crew; do they have to go to a tank you have unlocked? Because I've got two crew members ready to be claimed but I'm debating with going for either full crew of the AMX30 (120k to unlock) or Japanese heavy line (two patches out and obviously depend on what the tier X crew number will be).

Aenaes · 11-06-2015 10:12am

Yeah, reading around it seems you can only assign them to tanks you have researched.

copeyhagen · 10-07-2015 10:45am

been stuck on the incinerator mission for the t28 for months now!
have completed the first and second requirement for every mission for every other tank(i went back and done the ones i had only completed primary first time round) apart from arty - refuse to play it.

i have tried everything, 100+ battles in e50, 100+ battles in my old fav med, vk3001d, 100 battles in t7 japanese with autoloader, panther 88 etc and while my damage and wn8 has gone up a good bit, i cant seem to burn any +1s

has to be +1 tier higher vehicle you set on fire and i swear, if i have played 500 games in mediums, it feels like 450 of them i have been top tier. change to another mission and i will be bottom tier over and over!! have set loads of vehicles on fire but never +1 higher, if im not top tier, then there are probably 3 +1 tanks on opposite team, 2 arty and 1 heavy.

this mission is trolling me hard, i have been trying to let it happen naturally but it aint.

I would assume you get the best efficiency by keeping the ladies together, for the "sisters in arms" perk? (Im holding off on claiming my 2 so far for that reason,want them on a Tier IX or X tank) Or has that changed?

Nope that's still true and it does not work with BOA so have to be full female crew (which means 4/5 crew tanks only ideally).

Personally I'm waiting to see the tier X crew on Jap. heavy line to decide if my current crew goes into the AMX30 or not.

copeyhagen · 14-07-2015 1:38pm

think jap crews will be 6.

i put my first 4 on jap mediums, knowing that once i hit t8 the crew will be 4 rather than the 5 on the t5-7 tanks.
im about to unlock the sta, so i will have a 4 female crew with +3.5 skills. nice.

i used another 2 in my elc amx, best choice ever, tank is so fun.

i used my last 1 on a commander for the m41 bulldog, as i cant play lt's without 6th sense. once i finish that poxy incinerator mission, i will have my t28(to sell it) and can start all over on the t55a missions. dont know what i will do with my next female crew.

the reason i havent bought the wz120 is that i didnt wanna give up my lt crew from my wz132, i might use the female crew for the wz120-wouldnt sell my 132

I could even see 7 or 8 to be honest (mega tanks etc.) but I'm holding off on the off chance it is 5

copeyhagen · 29-07-2015 10:02pm

got my t28 htc tonight.. had been having an AWFUL night of games, had a monster game in e50 and finally finished mt15

t28 in a t7 game is like a t95. .awsome

copeyhagen · 15-09-2015 11:33am

how are people doing now? i have been on the t55a ones for a few weeks.

have most the mt ones done, im stuck on the kill 3 spgs mission.
ht i have a few done, im only playing the odd ht game
lt i have a good few done, trying to do the spot 6 before being spotted, just getting poxy city map after city map lol.
tds i done most, theyre always easy in t110e4 with big alpha.

im just playing away and trying to let them all happen naturally. though i am finding them much harder than the last 2 lots, mainly due to the t6 minimum requirement. my 'go to' lt for the missions was the elc, but i cant use that now. at lower tiers, i could spot entire maps without being spotted... grrr.
i do have the m41, t64, wz132,1390, t49 but none are as stealthy as my little elc.

Nody · 16-09-2015 7:28am

I'm one tier below you but I simply don't bother with going for them these days; if I fulfill one great but as I never play TDs or light and only 1 Heavy it's relatively rare to go anywhere and honestly I don't know where I'd put the crew if I did. Progressed furthest on arty so at the first platoon mission of 20% of team damage atm; TD is the lowest one but the real killer is MT "Set a tank on fire one tier above you" as I only have two tier 9 I play regularly and going up against a tier X to set it on fire is a bad idea...

copeyhagen · 16-09-2015 8:52am

i was stuck on that one for ages, tried tanks across all the tiers, ended up doing it with my t54, setting a batchat on fire.

i have to set 2 tanks on fire or one tank on fire twice this time round.. great..

VikingG · 16-09-2015 9:44am

I got the HTC a few weeks ago by completing 4 out of 5 of the second set of missions with honours...... however I cant seem to get the MT-15-2... deal 2K damage to TDs..... my highest tier MT is the tier 9 M46 Patton.. the rest a mix of tier 6,7,8.... just find that either there are not enough TDs or that if we are winning a game there are also too many other allies to get enough damage.

yeh, i wasnt trying for that one, just got it naturally. being a mainly medium driver i have a fair few 9 and 10s, so it just happened easily enough naturally. i think when it happend, i was like ' sweet', wasnt trying for it and had way over done it using my e50 and he on a few wt's and catching a 268 in a flanking position at end game... e50 is boss
