  1. It's like with the new notification system and the base flags showing constantly pubbies have discovered there are bases. 10 battles played, only 5 ended with one team having lost 15 tanks.

  2. This is the first non-spambot thread I need to lock since.. 2015? Ah, nostalic.

    Apart from picking your tank, drowning and jumping off cliffs are the only things in this game that you can control.
    Think about that for a second.
    Everything else is manipulated by WG.

    Without implying that all or even a majority of (sub)average players do this, or that no above average players do this, I do believe that generally lower skilled players are prone to drown themselves.

    Added to lower skill level is frustration about having no control about anything in the game (hence why they are (below) average). So the drowning and griefing is one of the only slithers of control they have over their actions in the game. For the rest they are just the playing ball of fortune, teams, MM and RNG.

    Kind of sad, but somewhere understandable.

      I didn't know you get teleported to a random spot every 30 seconds, or that the damage you do to the enemy gets distributed randomly. Truly, the game is controlled by WG.

      I mean.... if we're talking on a shell-by-shell basis... :kappa:

  4. We'll tell you slowly though, because it isn't 2015 anymore and most have moved on since then.
  5. As far as I know middle. The second question is a bit odd. You hide your cupola... by hiding your copula. If it's not behind cover and in the shooting line of enemies, enemies can shoot it.
  6. The gun. So it you have a tank with a lot of, well, tank above the gun, the enemy can hit that part all day long.
  7. Well, considering abcx123z and Nornir were asking to be featured here, I shall grant them the respect they deserve. Just naming here, the shaming they can fully do themselves: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/745701-ghost-players-emillia/ http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/745810-with-love-from-wotlabsnet/
  8. How do you deal damage with Type 61? BIA crew, food: last 4 games damaging shots/hits/shots taken: 5/10/17 - 9/13/19 - 4/4/10 - 4/9/13. Maddening.

      @kolni since the speed is different how should I adjust my playstyle coming from the PTA?

      Today it seems to be working:



      Third game was potato on Malinovka with a hopeless team though (though I got spotted far quicker than I expected in the bushes camping north spawn from an early lost hill).

      As were the next 6 games, ffs. Just potato by me.

      Sorry Miros it was on a "need to know" basis, you "know" how it is, plausible deniability.

  10. User-made ratings were basically developed because WG doesn't use base xp, but mixes up base and premium xp. Had base xp (without premium and without some tank's modifier) been an available stat from the start, that would basically have been a very good metric, probably leading to much less and certainly less successful user-developed ratings.

    Haha, mate of mine gets the anonymized nickname "CHEATER" and the bobs including an IS-7 intentionally throwing the game somehow have the big brain moment of concluding that someone with a nickname that says cheater must surely secretly use cheats.

    1. hazzgar


      So because they have a cheater on their team they decide to lose? Wow those people must be succesful IRL. "OMG my coworker has an unfair advantage lets work so bad the company goes bust and we lose jobs".  

  12. Hilarious, known shitter/whiner about how everyone better than him is only so because cheats and premium ammo (yet who has received a warning for cheating himself by WG in 2016):

    When WG stop making money from these players who use illegal mods, then they'll take action. But so far from what the video's suggest of people caught cheating, is they almost always use premium ammo. Far easier to say they've banned a load of people that no one knows or heard of than to actually take action. As they say, denial is far cheaper than the cure!

    Anyways, towards the end of the battle, I got a pop up saying I have been logged out because I have been banned. I mean, the most annoying part is, I was doing really well & about to turn to tide of the game to a win. Anyways, I contacted support & even gave them the video of me playing the game I was apparently cheating at, that showed the pop up box saying I was banned & asked them to point out at any part of that video or my previous 3 I had made today where I was cheating.


    Relevant announcement on blanket ban for cheaters on EU yesterday: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/744802-fair-play-update-cheaters-get-banned/#topmost

      And they’re not over represented in the queue either like EBRs, 430Us, Chieftains, etc are. Why nerf tanks that pubbies aren’t bitching about and aren’t having an adverse effect on the game? The only tank in the Itai line deserving of the bat is the 46.

    3. Jesse_the_Scout


      It wasn't clear enough that "give moneys u get better tenk". Considering their playerbase it basically has to be shouted into their faces for them to catch on.

    4. MagicalFlyingFox


      tfw 270/280mm 'weakspots'.


      Not that I'm firing standard rounds anyway at tier 10. This is the ASIA server, what is standard?



  14. Yes, horrible to get it 35% of the time while you were promised only 30% of the time. WG should fix this.
  15. The bottom 5 of the enemy team does less than you consistently. This is clear sign of rigging.
  16. We have two fantastic threads about this already:
  17. This week, on the EU forums, following a video by a Youtuber that's either thick or knows his audience well, the favorite conspiracy theory is that WG rigs the losing team, as proven by the fact that in the post battle stats, the losing team performed less well than the winning team, and does so consistently. I think that says enough about the forums, and about the average player. People are more and more frustrated that they don't win or do as much as they want. And they seek excuses. When you point out to them that it's easier to improve that chase ghosts, they blow their top.
  18. You can farm quite some damage late in game when the battle is already won or lost. You win more by dealing damage early and in the right places to give your team an advantage (in additional to the same later game damage). There isn't a magic formula or solution to this. It's experience and good play. You should find early damage spots where you can spot the enemy and damage the enemy. In the beginning you will overextended, but mistakes are needed to learn. Also moving this to metagame, because this is not a mathematics questions.
  19. @sr360is one of those rare people that - often wrongly - supposes that people aren't dimwits that take obvious sarcastic statements as true. I also think that's wrong, and generally take your approach. Everyone is a dimwit and no matter how stupid it sounds, he probably means it.
  20. I was steadily improving performance wise, and then suddenly since the beginning of the week, I drop to half the performance up to then in all kind of tanks... It's like I forgot everything I had relearned.

      On NA the teams actually got redder over the past week.  I've had to resort to spamming mid-tier RU meds and the T-64 to maintain sanity.  T34-whatever, T44, T54 Mod 1 are all effective against nitwits with no vision skills or equipment. T-64 is so wrong it's right

      Tier X  has been so nonsensical I realized it was the perfect time to knock out some artillery missions, so I dusted off the Bat arty.  Evil, I know, but it is satisfying to push back against S.Conq spam.  Leopard PTA can be a little relaxing as long as the steamroll lasts over 4 minutes.

    3. Jesse_the_Scout


      I've never seen teams/players this bad. Not even joking.

    4. RC_Tank


      Teams are at a new low, gameplay is complete shit more often than not. The farms are unreal though, so long as your team doesn't bend over before the enemy team does.

  21. I think that depends on the situation in the country/region. Apart from Lombardia, Madrid and New York, and before Wuhan, I don't think there's many regions where hospitals stopped processing normal cases. Here they just stopped the non-time sensitive ones (even if that's relative) such as aesthetic operations, getting out your wisdom teeth, sex operations, etc...
  22. There was an interesting article in the NY Times on pct over normal monthly deaths: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/21/world/coronavirus-missing-deaths.html
  23. I'm collecting some stats from playing. Relatively low numbers but it shows that arty totally prevents camping: Average game length without arty: 6 minutes 10 seconds. Average game length with 1 or 2 arty per team: 7 minutes 19 seconds. Average game length with 3 arty per team: 7 minutes and 5 seconds.

  24. Just got into my first grand battle. Was the most horrible experience I got in WoT to date. Are there any reasons to not disable this?

      Farming Missions is the only reason.

    3. Kymrel


      Yeah, some missions, that's about it.

    4. kolni


      279 missions are much easier on them

  25. Meanwhile Belgium is trending towards highest deaths/capita, because we are counting all deaths with fever and/or respiratory problems that exceed normal monthly average as corona deaths, and not only those effectively tested. Stats are meaningless if not everyone uses the same counting methods.
