The Lunar Challenge will be starting soon with the goal being a new Chinese Tier 8 MT the 122 TM.
In the past my strat during marathons was just to play pretty much as normal, figuring I'd get a 50% or 60% discount on the tank by the end of the marathon, and just buy it from there.
Then Wargaming started doing the thing where you have the 10 days of Marathon missions to get the tank (or a discount on the tank) and nearly simultaneously running bonus missions to get other rewards (Boosters and Crew Books mostly) which have to be done IN the tank. The idea being to motivate people to buy the tank before the marathon ends, so they can do the bonus missions.
The last couple of times I did just that - I played the marathon until I had about a 30% discount, then quickly bought the tank so I could do the last 7 or 8 bonus missions. This time...
The bonus missions aren't as interesting. I still have 3 or 4 of those crew books from past events and I have over 1000 boosters in the depot, despite using them every day. So I think I'll be reverting to my original strategy of just playing as normal, and expecting to get a 40%-60% discount through the Marathon, then just buy it at the end.
The other issue is that I'm not sure I'm excited about this tank. The DPM is pretty awful, despite having a pretty good gun. That's because the reload time is excruciating. It seems to have interesting turret armor, but it may be hard to push with this tank given the slow reloads; at least until the late game when people are 1-shots.
What does Dez think of the 122 TM?
Are you looking forward to this marathon? Let us know in the comments below.
