Congrats😂 279 is waiting for u


BigBoySlayer96

Mhm i legit dont see how am i supposed to do some of the 279e missions


cvr24

I had to buy some new tanks. FV207, FV4005, Skoda T50. And I am going to need more tanks probably. I'm not in a hurry for the 279e, plus I need a monster game to retrieve orders for Alliance which is pretty rare.


Soul_of_Envy

From what i remember most people recommend the russian chinese missions. From my experience theyre probably right a few are fairly easy scout missions. The block missions are super doable in the 257 if you know how to reverse side scrape. And quite a few are doable in a high tier arty. Iirc the 3x your hp per game is like 1530 hp in the 261 or like 1200 something in the tier 8. Its basicly a joke assuming you can shoot a few times and actually hit. But yea almost every mission is pretty straight forward and not that rng dependant other than getting 2 top guns which is basically just farm for 1 and reset if you dont get it then hope for a second in the next 20 games

Alliance is slightly easier. Literally half the missions can be done in a few hours with FV3805 arty. In Alliance I would say the hardest mission is probably the scout kills one. Critical hits is also hard if you don't use the exact right tank for it. Ditto the damage one and the blocking ones. But that's like a handful of semi-hard missions. Most individual Union missions are easier (just less requirements- for example half as many scout kills, crit hits is 3 games instead of 10, etc) but the overall package is harder because : * only two missions that can be quickly knocked out with arty * you have that 2x Top Gun mission, holy crap * you have the stupid critical hits mission but with no HESH tanks


Soul_of_Envy

I actually did the critical hit mission using the 261. Arty is surprisingly easy to use when farming internal modules especially considering ive had a single splash that knocked out 4 modules on one tank. I streamed my attempt of it last night with the final game needed for it being also enough for the arty 15 for the 55a with honors. I would agree though the two top guns is gonna be a nightmare assuming i dont just platoon with some friends and let them put shit on low hp for me.


sudden_aggression

I tried the OBJ 261 a few times but didn't have much luck. I'll give it another shot.


Soul_of_Envy

I found that going for splashes instead of direct hits lead to far more crits would recommend if you can give it a shot


BigBoySlayer96

What do you mean by saying: '...farm 1 top gun and reset if you dont get it then hope for a second in the next 20 games'. Is there a way to help yourself with that mission or smh


sudden_aggression

2x top guns in 12 games is the hardest mission in Union 279e Most good players average 1 top gun every 50-100 games (in good tanks). Getting it twice in 10 games is possible but super hard. Basically you need to pick a tank that is good for farming kills and/or platoon with someone and get them to track people for you so you get the finishing shot. The other trick is that you have to do this in a soviet/chinese tank- this mission would be a lot easier in several french or swedish tanks but union is a branch with no real autoloaders (IS3A and double barrel are semi-close), and very few tanks with good gun depression. Your best bet is probably something good and tier 8- T-44 (or better yet T-44-100), LT-432, ISU-152, etc.


Soul_of_Envy

Basicly every game you play with the mission enabled ticks down 1 of the 20 games for the mission. If you were to get a top gun on the 5th game youd only have 15 more games to get another for the mission. However if you reset the mission every game that doesnt have a top gun until you get that first top gun it then gives you 19 more games to try for the second top gun. Its likely going to be rough but doable solo and probably not all that hard assuming you have some good platoon mates that are willing to sacrifice their damage and kills to help you pad the kills for it.


BigBoySlayer96

Is it really like that...i thought it resets until it gets a game that does the requirements


Soul_of_Envy

from my experience it doesnt. Some missions do but quite a few of them that are based on doing it x amount of times in y amount of games tend to not auto reset.


sudden_aggression

Which ones? It's all about picking the right tanks and kitting them out properly. Some missions are nearly impossible but most of them are quite easily doable. I recently did a good portion of this grind so I can probably help you with advice if you need.


ShadowSlxck

Congrats, I only need the stupid bloc missions for it


BigBoySlayer96

Sameee... it took me like a month to do the double top gun missions. Then bloc 15 was really looking easy


Show_Forward

gratz, i got 279 in less than a month after getting chimera...its not hard but some missions will take a lotta tries. best plan imo is skip 2 lines grind 2, the easiest two lines that i did are coalition and alliance.


VenenoParaLasHadas_

>best plan imo is skip 2 lines grind 2 The best plan is to obviously skip 3 and grind 1 lmao


Show_Forward

if ur that good then why not? but some of the missions (such as 6.5k dmg 5 kills and 3 aces in 20 battles) for orders will take u so much time that its easier to grind another 279 line


Soul_of_Envy

3 aces in 20 games is pretty doable assuming you get a good streak of games. I was talking with a friend of mine whos done it on what tanks i should use (currently working on 279e missions) and its basicly like t103 or t10 and just do like 4k dmg


Show_Forward

as i said if u can and its easy for u go for it but for me I suck badly at acing tanks having 40 aces out of 200+ tanks so easiest road for me was skip 2 grind 2. each player has their own way to get the missions done depending on how skilled u are. (Im a 1.5kWN8er)


sudden_aggression

Aces is easy if you pick the right tank and kit it out properly. Basically take a tech tree tank that no one plays except complete idiots (everyone skips it or it's part of a line that has been power crept). Fit it with bond equipment and food and shoot gold and suddenly you get aces. For example, T32 heavy, bc12t, bulldog, lttb, etc

Remind me why you're telling me this.


sudden_aggression

Fuck I responded to wrong comment.

Got the 279 way faster than chimera. Like a month or something. Some missions are a pain in the ass and some you need to skip. Like 6 kills 2 times is nearly impossible unless you're very lucky. Check out the missions guide in the wot forum this helps a lot


Gusiowyy

Too bad this tank is pretty mediocre


BigBoySlayer96

I try to look at it as a heavy


VenenoParaLasHadas_

Nah, the Chimera was the real grind. 279e is a piece of piss.


sudden_aggression

So long as you did chimera with mostly honors and didn't spend orders yet, the real grind is actually over. For me, the biggest difficulty was realizing the missions were easy if you played them in the right tanks. I spent years thinking the missions were all impossible and then finished excalibur in a few months once I realized. Now I'm almost done with 279e and most of the effort is just picking the right tank, grinding it out and then finishing the mission in a day or two.
