the pubbie argument against winrate being a meaningful stat is pretty amusing. "i have a 46% win rate because of the 5,000 games that I've played, I've been unfavorably paired with a bad team in ALL of them"

By that logic I should be the best player in WoT by a large margin, since easily 90-95% of my games are/were solopubs. Anyone who has platooned with me in WoT can basically tell you I'm good for about 20 games - max.

Congrats Wargaming. Personal missions are one of the most aggressively bad things I have ever seen in a game, yet I can't stop grinding out tier 8 light tank games in the desperate hope of getting LT-15 so I can finish the Stug reward. gently caress you and gently caress me.

My food choices are in fact "Crazy" and that the AMX 13 French arties shooting APCR is some of the funniest poo poo when you're hitting things. Also I don't know what has changed in my play but I am hovering around 60% WR for my last 60 days 63% in the last 30 and 65.5% for for my last ~120. Now the question is if that's just a coincidence or if something has actually clicked with me again and I'm able to sustain it. I only ever hosed up that one time though  Something tells me it is going to be brought up every single time now.

Winrate doesn't mean anything because this game is rigged by WG to make me fail. When I win I beat the rigged system but when I lose its 100% because of the game being rigged. Also I only shoot HE because it does damage 100% of the time.

I've played eleven games tonight on EU1. Nine of them platooned up. Thanks to MVPs like this shitsniffer I have won precisely one game. We lost one game 15:0. I don't even remember the last time that happened. The server is suddenly filled with conchie bastards who refuse to fire. Lovely Joe Stalin fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Jun 9, 2015 |

I care about stats in as much as the people with really poo poo ones actively prevent you from having good games. This is the only computer game I can remember playing where poo poo team mates can stop you from having a fun and profitable session. Last night for instance, I was regularly in the top two for damage and kills on my teams, but over a session of twenty-eight games I only won ten because people with objectively terrible stats kept doing zero damage. Or doing damage but from a position of utter irrelevance on the map, which meant I, and everyone else, was being swamped by more tanks than we could deal with at a time. Special mention to the only light on the team who hid well behind the TD line declaring "you gently caress only want others do your work for you gently caress you."

What I am saying is that it is very difficult to have a fun, enjoyable game when your team is abnormally full of of sub-47% players with tens of thousands of games. Because the mechanics of the game mean that you will end up fighting more tanks at a time than it is possible to shoot. Or, you know, you'll be murdered by lights and mediums in your arty because everyone, including TDs, went north on El Haluf and died in the world's biggest tank jam where they couldn't shoot past each other.

Whining about how there are so many people bad at this game seems dumb because it's those dumb people that allow you to have that fun, enjoyable game.

I do not enjoy games where the enemy team chooses to not fire back at my team. I don't not enjoy games where my team refuses to fire towards the enemy. I just want a close game where either team could win. It's rare.

I had some nasty insomnia last night, so I was playing at about 2AM PDT on USW. Nearly every team was just completely stacked. 2 or 3 BULBA toons were roaming around murdering everyone. I played a game in my T57 Heavy for the first time in weeks and had a decent game on a terrible team. Luckily most of the people I shot were the purples, so we actually won. The crowning jewel was tracking a BULBA 54 lightweight trying to blow past me, then re-tracking him after he repaired and finishing him off with the rest of my magazine. He raged in chat and called me a shitter. BULBA is a real class act. I was playing my 57 because I am desperately looking for a way to complete ANY mission at this point. I am completely stuck on lights, meds, heavies, and SPGs. I finished TD-15 a couple of weeks ago. I love the TD missions, since they are almost all various versions of "Shoot a lot of red tanks like you are loving supposed to'. My current burden- Lights- Spot or track 6 vehicles which are then damaged by my cretinous teammates. Secondary- 2 are destroyed while tracked/spotted. I have been trying this for literally weeks and the closest I have gotten is 4. Meds- start 2 fires. Secondary- bend over and let RNG gently caress your rectum into jelly. Heavies- Damage 5 modules and/or crew members. Even bought a goddamned KV-2 specifically for this, but no dice (I keep one shotting people  ).SPGs- Kill 3 tanks 1 tier higher than me. If you want a good run of top tier matches, come play with me while I arty. I swear to FSM I get top tier like 70% of the matches now. 20% are tier 9, with 2 nines per side  . Any advice on any of these? Tanks, maps, strategies? It is getting depressing, and is killing my WN8 while I do sub-optimal bullshit trying to jump through hoops.

I still haven't done the goddamn double fire mission. I keep being told to play the Cromwell, which I do - and it even has deadeye, but I just cannot get lucky enough to trigger fires twice. One time I had a fire, and on two other vehicles I had damaged the engine of one and destroyed the fuel tanks of the other, but I didn't roll for fire on the engine and killed the enemy whose fuel tanks I destroyed. Somehow T29s, T34s, A44s and KVs all are fireproof while I'm on the mission. For the module damage mission I just loaded HE on the E100, started the match by asking the enemy team, "Hey guys can you guess why I'm pressing the 3 key?" and then I got it on the first try. Oh for killing higher tier poo poo just platoon across tier - tier nine or eight arti with tens works well. Once I get the goddamn double fire mission, my 416 is gonna kill higher tier poo poo by platooning up. Should work even better for arti - get the cheaty mods and counter battery at the start then steal whatever kills you can get. Hellsau fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Jun 9, 2015 |

The block double your HP as a heavy one is a pain. Its difficult finding enough retards that will shoot at my E100's side, or least, enough to make 6k bounced. I might have to buy a VK just to get this mission done.

I literally went to where I knew their lemmings would go and went hull down and just sat there letting them shoot me in the turret. I was at 2,900 damage blocked when they started to shoot HE at me and I was getting pissed cause instead of letting me bounce and get the mission done they were doing 30HP damage to me. I am on the 8,000 damage done, blocked taken on my heavy. I had it in my T57 already without knowing it causes I hit a bunch of invisible tanks. So instead of just suiciding into the team at 6,000 damage done to finish the mission I only knew I was at 4,500 damage done

Was on the sniper ledge in the North spawn of South Coast, and most shots were from below me. Hard to hit the bubbles on top from that angle. We need a special TS channel so people can arrange to game these types of things. Christ knows that is how all the big clans are doing it. Count ins are pretty easy, especially on USW.
