finally got lt12 done with a randomer, sand river, assault, defending..

went where i always go in my meds, right hand side and scouted the heavies and tds, got 3k spotted.

lt 13, kill one tank, so easy comapred to 12.

on 14 now, finish top of xp, gonna do it in type 64 and hope for a t7 game.

retrained my commander from patton to m41 to get 6th sense for the missions. once lt missions are finished, will be swapping him back to the fatton.

From the extremes of LT15, to the simplicity of MT5 on the second campaign....

It just wrongly awarded me completion of it. You're meant to kill alight in the first two minutes while on the move or by ramming. I was stationary when firing to kill an Aufklarungspanther, yet it still gave me the mission completion.

VikingG · 23-02-2015 04:47PM

Spent the whole weekend trying to get LT-15, TD-15 and HT-15 ( I have the meds and the arty).. pure frustration... for HT-15 I got over 7K combined 3 times in the M103 my only tier 9... and have had over 3k spotting/damage in my T71 .... it is starting to bug me now

Spear · 23-02-2015 04:57PM

HT15 isn't that bad, I managed that on the second go. A decent tier 10 heavy, combined with doing a decent bit of damage and you should be sorted. If it comes to the worst, don't forget that you can die and even that'll give you a good 2 to 3k towards the total.

LT15 sucks and is a lottery, you just need to accept that painful less now.

copeyhagen · 24-02-2015 10:27AM

im on lt15 about a week now, im not worrying about completing it, im just enjoying playing the lt's again so when it happens, it happens!

re bought the wz132 after the 9.6 buff and its a totally different animal now, its actually a really competent spotter / damage dealer.

i had been using the tier 9 gun last time and it was so sh1t, so i went back to the 88mm and its way more fun, great dpm. not planning on buying the wz120 so once i unlock that(about 25k xp) i will just train up my crew and keep the wz132.

:eek:

But...but...boomstick!

copeyhagen · 24-02-2015 02:07PM

i havent gone the heavy line, so that leaves 2 60k xp guns to research for said boomstick!

i have enough high tier mediums to not want a -4 gun depression one!

i have a feeling from the panther ii, that when i unlock the e50 i wont be playing any other medium tanks...

VikingG · 24-02-2015 02:35PM

ok got HT-15 last night in my T32 on Himmelsdorf..... just stayed hull down by the crest at the top of the hill... did 3.5k damage, blocked 4k .... and died another 1.5 k...
The great thing was when I died we were 5 - 2 down so I stayed and watched as the Ferdinand on our team took out the remaining 5 one by one. The great about that was that it meant I got the secondary as well.... happy days.

LT 15 is really getting to me...not once in 20 games did I get prokoVodka or Malinvodka

copeyhagen · 24-02-2015 03:24PM

haha i was going to say the sam thing about the maps for lt15, constantly getting city maps or corridor maps, give proko or fiery salient once ffs!

Spear · 24-02-2015 04:09PM

Here's my replay of how I did it on Steppes if it helps anyone:

http://wotreplays.eu/site/1632549#steppes-thespearman-amx_13_90

as the description states, there's nothing pretty or subtle in there, but it worked.

ShadowHearth · 25-02-2015 07:03PM

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 02:29AM

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 02:22PM

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 05:26PM

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 01:04PM

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 04:07PM

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 04:11PM

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 09:42AM

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 07:48PM

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 08:40PM

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.
