Just General Chat About WoT

*sigh* ..... out of 8 games this evening, 5 had my win chance around 30% (worst was 23% win chance, 6 or 7 of our team had appalling stats like 42 or 43% win rate), 2 more games were 35% and 38% ...one it was 57% but only because our top tank was a kv2 dude with 58% win rate ....but he was afk, 0 damage from him .... 7 losses one win. I know its not the worst losing streak by any means but I just couldnt be bothered with that ****e. taking a break from the game before I lose it...

**** wargaming and **** their absolutely moronic matchmaking.
Why cant the let people/bots with 40 - 45% win rates just play each other. I am sick of playing in teams with heaps of these fecking useless players. All it takes is: you have 51% win rate = everyone on both teams within + or - 1% of that. You might wait 2 minutes, but the game experience and enjoyment for everyone is greatly improved.

This game can,crush your soul in seconds and the same way, can make you feel as biggest badass in universe.
I had so many stormy: **** you Wot! Not going to play you for a month! Then finding myself next day playing like a little bitch.

You had one of those days m8. We all know how you feel.

I did not played too much last night. Had a lazy evening on PS4 with warframe instead. Will need to get a few games today after work.

VikingG

ya.... had that sort of a night... destroyed 8 in one battle in a hellcat and got my first Ridley Scott (not correct name) medal.... and then could do nothing in the heavies .. kept getting a low rank in MM and not playing well...

Actually I have not quite figured out how to play a heavy well if you are on the lower rungs of the ladder...such as a T29, IS in a tier 9 battle if I take the front line I cant penetrate **** and just get annihilated... I cant really play as a TD and support.....

Well, if I see that my ass in the lowest step of food chain in game, but I am still in tier 7-8 tank, then I play front lines support role. I go with all the big boys, but let them go first. Does not work on all maps, but at least this way you have a chance to survive and land a shot or two. Something like tiger can do it well. High accuracy let's you sit in the back of all brawlers and shoot weak spots on enemy turrets or at least track heavies now and then.
If you are in tier 5-6 heavy and non in stupid kv-1s, but in tier 7-8 game, then good luck to you, my friend. Might as well just Yolo it and get a few Wtf and laughs.

radley walters medal, i still dont have one, have had a tonne of games where i got 6 o 7 kills, never got the 8th for the RW.

the t29 can pen almost every t9 heavy, you just need to know the weakspots, and sue the in game pen indicator of the reticle to help you.

ShadowHearth

Played only few games today. Had fantastic games in T25 at, is8 and T34. Then played my T44. Russian medium. 2 games I was just awesome. Played like a real med and both games I was first in the list... But all the time we lost... Really got pissed off.
Just another prove, you can be the best player in wot, but if your team is ****, you will lose.

Well this was unexpected. I have to say, that blowing up Maus was very satisfying.

Yeah, its really damn fast tank. I hated when I got it, but now I am really starting to love it. armour can be very trollish and it can move even with Stock engine. I am usually keeping up with Medium tanks.


Oh yeah, the new sound changes and exhaust smokes are really great. Might sound silly, but it really adds to Tank experience. It feels more like a tank now, not just some box in videogame.

Spear

As I first said a while back, treat it like a medium and you'll should do some nasty things with it.

copeyhagen

new gun sounds are OK. engine sounds are just as ****, gnomefathers still pisses all over the wg devs for that.

no fps increase for me anwyay. still avergaing about 35-40 in most maps.

VikingG

Downloaded the 9.1 patch last night... didn't notice too much... except not having my xvm.....

The new map looks good.. large map with alot of spaces.. but lots of little hiding spaces as well.

the light tier MM put my T71 as the 4th best tank in a match and I just ripped everyone apart and did 3.5K damage... but then 3 times in a row it put my AMX 13 75 as the bottom tank... including one with Tier 9 tanks at which point best you can do is passive scout and track a few tanks and run,

Aye, Wtf with light tanks. I though they said that they will lower their Mm tiers, but I sow tier 5 lights in tier 8 games. We're tier 5 lights in tier 9 games too?!

yeah, tier 5 could egt tier 9 matches (most of the time) prior to 9.1

think i will rebuy my mt25 now...

Tier 8, for a small tier 5 tank does not look like a huge improvement. I know lights have their own role in wot, but if you are tier 5 tank in tier 8 or 9 game, then they might swap light tank for a car or something.

At last.....finally got 6th sense on my first tank. Dropped Camo for it at 99% and it went to 97%, since then I've been having crap games in it.

Now lets hope I realise how badly I can hide in my Hellcat!!

First game with.....saved me twice from getting shot, then allowed me to figure where the last guy was as I was spotted as I drove into the cap northern circle on Ruinberg.


Bloody hell its great

I like the new gunfire. Sounds much more meatier.

EDIT: I'm luving the football mode. It's so much fun.

ShadowHearth

I find new gun design to be awesome. A lot better then it was before.

It's a shame qbout just double xp on crew this weekend. I would prefer general double xp weekend.

Never had to work so hard driving the Hellcat and KV-1S. Just trying to train up the crews but it's like a workout.

Try driving the M7 or that French tank BDR whatchamacallit...... I've almost given up using them.

Nody

What's even more annoying is the amount of goold n00bs. Seems every second Rhm. B. runs gold; as does every T57, FV215 187 along with at least 25% of every other T8+ tank (and even in Hellcats, T69s, Löwe etc.; I mean wtf those tanks don't need that if you have even an ounce of play skill). It makes a mockery of the idea of armor in most match ups (though I had a T57 bounce 2 clips only destroying one module only to turn around and accuse me of hacking because he failed to do damage; bloody moron).

Free exp my friends; free exp is your friend.

Aenaes

I'm about 2k EXP away from unlocking the T-21, will do it this weekend to get it cheaper. I haven't found the M7 too bad at all. Decent passive spotter, okay sniper and towards the end of battles you can mop up low HP enemies.

copeyhagen

had a couple of games over weekend, had 3 games in 3 different tanks and was one shot by arty so i just switched pc off and walked away.

remove the clickers now!

I'd agree on removing arties simply because they are being nerfed at every single turn. New map? Oh can't really arty on it. Experience? I'll deal more damage on higher tier tanks and get less exp then if I was in a same tier medium/heavy going front line duty.

But everyone cries you're completely safe back there; seeing how I die more often as arty then heavy proves that wrong but I also got a 30s reload timer on ONE shell doing same damage as a half decent TD gun (which usually has a 10s reload time) on a one shottable chassi by any decent heavy.

Canis Lupus

I only have a hummel. Never really bothered going past it. I have to say as much as I hate being hit by arty I like the element it brings to the game and to echo a comment I saw before on the matter. Sometimes I just like to have a stress free match and do a bit of clicking.

copeyhagen

"wargaming, why will you not introduce submarines into wows?"
"its unfair, as you could be killed by an enemy that you cannot see"

errrrrrrrrr... have they not fookin looked at wot!!

clickers eating their fukin dinner with one hand have the ability to one shot an enemy at the other end of the map.

yes, they have been nerfed, but all that has left is the unicum arty players playing now.

and yes, i played up to tier 9 arty on german and russian trees and played up to 7 on french.

oh, and played about 60 games in 9.1 and not seen new map, i get sand river, ruinberg, himmelsdorf over and over

Nody

copeyhagen wrote: »

I've seen the new map four times; three as arty and you get spotted no matter where you park if the enemy team has any brains (which is rare I admit) because of the design (basically you got two straight lines to spawn point from end of the map to end of the map that you need to park in to get any shots off). It's better then Himmelsdorf in the angles you can get but you're way more exposed and likely to die as one of the first 5 tanks (think of it as parking at the rail tracks every time and with out any trains or buildings there).

T21 get atrocious matchmaking ... a lot of high tier games as the 'scout' ...but its slower than many high tier mediums with lower view range etc etc. I used free XP after a while of trying to find a way to play it.... Its just too big and too slow.

Next tank is great fun though

ShadowHearth

Jaysus, I did not had enough lube to get all this pounding I got today. Its shockingly bad. Even if I do good, my team is just engage "full Retard mode" and we lose.

That is true. Last few days I am getting hammered like crazy. To make it worse, I cant really concentrate on one or another tank right now. I wont say I got burned out with wot, but I just dont feel like playing anything at all. I do play some warframe on ps4, but in pure lazy ass position in bed.

I want Borsik, but I am stuck on Nashorn. Its actually a lovely TD even with stock gun, but I really need that better gun as it really feels grindy.
Working towards T95. I got a bit burned out of T25 AT. Its class TD, but I just got so frustrated by having Donkey teams or droped in to Tier 9 games where I am on complete bottom.
Shockingly enough if I get some good games, those games are in my IS-8. I am really starting to like that tank, but I dont really got much motivation playing it right now. Is-7 does not look like a great bargain.

As for T34 that I bought it a week ( or two ) ago. It sorted my money problem. I am sitting on 7mil right now and I cant say I put much effort in to it. I really recommend that beassssht if you need Credits.

copeyhagen

think thats what i will do, just play my lowe for a while to get credits up.

ShadowHearth

MM sort of explained.

http://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/pc-browser/46/matchmaker-how-works/


A bit mind bogling that MM does no take in to account Player skill at all. I would love to see "weigh" of each tank too. I bet some of the tanks have stupid values.

ShadowHearth

Just an example of games I am getting today.... Its like Wot decided to have a **** on me lately.
In my T25 AT game I had 5 kills and I was on top of my team. we lost anyway, and badly at that too...

Look at this beauty. thats near the end. Pretty much ended with the rest of our team dead. Those 3 tanks were just pushing this poor sod like he was a ball. How the feck MM can arrange such games its just beyond me.
