SnapShot: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

on

As of this writing it's about 21 hours until Holiday Ops drops...I'll be getting a nice set of large boxes (just like the last couple of years) and I'll be doing my usual statistical analysis on them. If you missed last year's analysis you can find it here: Large Loot boxes 2020 in World of Tanks (wotguy.blogspot.com)

I'm not going to get up at 0320 to get the boxes, but I probably will get up before 5A (I usually get up just after 5A). Like many players Holiday Ops is my favorite time of year in World of Tanks. Aside from the boxes, there are HUGE rewards and boosts to be had. Play well, in the right tanks, and you can grind massive credits, XP and more, even if you don't buy any boxes.

I'm also curious to see how this "Gift a box to a friend" thing goes. 

The tanks

Wargaming has announced three new Tier 8 premiums that will be in the large boxes. I haven't played any of them yet, of course, but here are my initial thoughts.
  • Caliban - A Brit heavy with a HUGE alpha HE gun. Sort of a British Tier 8 KV-2. Seems like it'll mostly be a meme tank to me.
  • Torvagn - Swede single shot HT with a Yoh-like tiny turret. Looks like it'll be good on ridges if you can just poke the turret but will also be pretty slow and the gun handling might not be great.
  • M-IV-Y - USA HT that is the start of the Yoh like with the interesting redundant track mechanic. Don't know much about this one yet, has a HUGE cupola but otherwise seems like it could be interesting.

Here's what Skill thought of the Torvagn


GLHF!
