I would think +1/-1 mm would make it less likely for people to buy gold to hurry tier progression. Thus, less money for wargaming. You have to remember, wg doesn't care if you have fun. The vast majority of players are having "fun" winning 48% of their games and dealing 2 shots of damage. Those players (the 400 wn8/45% shutter in a lowe with camo paint) are the ones that keep wot profitable. I have a blast when I'm in my Skoda t24/church3/kv-1 and have basically +/-1 matches. That said, if I get those matches in my t67/oix, it's crazy the poo poo that those tanks can do. Comet vs is-3, tiger2, etc? Fun. Comet vs e-75, m103, Jagdtiger? gently caress that noise.

I started an alt account cause I thought I'd try to see how many games it would take me to get to T10 and I can confirm that tier 3 thing. It's ludicrous. I felt like I was in a tier 5 match every time. My final tier 3 record was 3-10.

That's a bad comparison since the E5 is basically immune to tier eight or even most tier nine gold since the HD model change. Mans posted:is assault good nowadays? can i finally tick the box that i clicked off years ago? Only if you're very drunk and want to make your own fun, since you won't have much fun in the game. Assault is a bad idea.

Bads like being bottom tier better because they feel better about their 1 penetrating shot when it's on a higher tier vehicle.

Trying to actually be better and understanding the game puts you above like 90% of the people that play this game. Getting better just means burying more time and sanity into this piece of rear end game, it is completely up to you if you think it is worth it.

Based on this: http://www.vbaddict.net/progress/officialcophat-na-321d16cde4d1253fe40393ab2f706f2b I'm on my way to my goal and I'm happy about that I've only been playing again for a month now but I'm getting less poo poo everyday. I think this game is fun and worth the time I put into it I just hope they make some changes to arty soon. edit:and hire a UX designer.

If you are consciously trying to improve, you're spectacularly rare among WoT players. It's at the point where the correct strategy is, at the beginning of a round, to tell both teams in allchat the correct strategy for that particular map, simply because the playerbase is such ardent shitheads that you'll trick the bad players of both teams to do the exact opposite of your advice. Also getting below a 40% winrate takes active sabotage. Doing literally nothing, not firing or moving, will get you a 43% winrate. You have to block, ram, or kill teammates, or punish your teams with special matchmaker stuff like platooning tier ten heavies or preferential matchmaking tanks and doing less than nothing in order to get a 30% winrate. So many of the matches are total blowouts that a platoon of three good players in great tanks have to struggle to get in the 70s, and those same blowouts stop players from losing more than 60% or so of their battles. If 30% or whatever of fights are contestable, even if you lose every single one of those you will still end up winning whichever fights aren't close in your favor.

Even if the current bads don't care whether or not they are bottom tier WG are turning off people who pick up the game and then have to spend tiers 3 and 4 getting utterly poo poo on by matchmaking. I imagine that's where alot of potential players quit. It seems really odd game design to make the part of the game everyone first encounters as off putting as possible. It's just frustrating because this game easily has the potential to be much better than it is with what should be some simple changes on things most people agree suck, but instead WG would rather just sit around with their thumbs up their asses.

It's just frustrating because this game easily has the potential to be much better than it is with what should be some simple changes on things most people agree suck, but instead WG would rather just sit around with their thumbs up their asses. When I first started playing (just before physics), tier 3 was great and tier 4 was a shithole and tier 5 was great. Tier 3 had stuff like the Rocket Luchs, and otherwise just had regular tanks with no horseshit like Cruiser 4s and Pz1Cs and 105mm derp guns. Then the Pz1C came out and everyone was sad that the Rocket Luchs got killed by being turned into a lovely tier 4, and then people actually drove the Pz1C and the Luchs and figured out that those tanks are fantastic. Shame no one can actually play these good, fun tanks because they'll get poo poo on by the matchmaker, and none of the new players get to reap the benefits of there being a lack of a bunch of seal clubbers ready to eat them, because the new players also get poo poo on by matchmaker but the new players also have to deal with bullshit stock grinds and learning new maps and poo poo. poo poo is ridiculous. Then again, when I started playing, tier 4 was really bad since almost every tier 4 was ridiculously underpowered and the tier 4 lights were MUCH worse tanks than they are now, and also saw tier....8 battles? Did one of them see tier 9? it was stupid.

I just remembered that I really liked the 112, and began playing it again. Still really solid + I think they moved the gas tank away from the lfp? If they did that its a major buff. Also, expected damage in it is way too low + getting three autisms on it seems really easy compared to any other tank I've been playing.

Valle posted:What's the story behind PANSY clan description including the TOST clan description? Eh, I think it was something like Hellsau pointing it out after running into their bots in a battle, and I decided to copy their description because it's laughably bad. I even ran into a platoon of theirs (including the commander) and instructed them to check us out, but they didn't say anything. Literal bots, I guess.  ----------------------------------------------------- Here was a pretty tense low-tier battle: http://wotreplays.eu/site/2809011?secret=32096e0ac00a7665211f2e49e576c542 Is it just me or is the M41 laughably easy to Ace? http://wotreplays.eu/site/2809013?secret=32096e0ac00a7665211f2e49e576c542 There was this one about a week and a half earlier, but I guess I didn't save the replay:  (I just abused the center road on Lakeville.) I don't even think those were the first two aces I've got in this thing.

I faintly remember me telling them what not to do on Fisherman's Bay (don't camp the southwest corner since you can't actually shoot anything until you're surrounded) and telling them what they should do (push up the 1 line hard) and then they camped the southwest corner, we pushed the 1 line hard and won easily. I think I looked them up because one of their members has notably low winrate or something, laughed at their clan motto, and then the next time we fought them just started copy and pasting their clan description. I make my own fun in Strongholds. The amount of people who don't understand what banter is staggers me. When I'm playing Strongholds, I'll often just try to guess what the enemy clan tag is an acronym for, and never use it to insult them unless it's late and it'd be really funny, or if we've run into them before and they had a bad reaction. Like I've got an invite to the clan [T-T-B] apparently. If I were to run into them in Strongholds, I might say this in allchat: "[T-T-B] = Tough Tanking Bronies?" or something similarly innocent, and the amount of idiot 48%ers who think that's trash talk makes me ashamed for the playerbase. Banter is fun, people, talk more!

I loved company battles of old with Hellsau. He would literally tell the opposing team in all chat what we were going to do. We'd do it exactly as he described. We'd still win and not lose a single tank. Then we'd get called fags or cheaters. But hey I got like a 99% company battle stat so suck it.

Whenever I join a new clan to kill it, sometimes during Strongholds I'll just, without warning, tell a bad enemy team exactly what they should do to beat us. When my new clan freaks out at me, I just tell them to trust me, the opponents will do the opposite of my advice and walk right into us. I've never been wrong.

I've been in a lot of clans that died, either directly through my own actions (CRABS) or that were incredibly doomed and I just got out slightly before they imploded, yet I still take the credit for them (PURPL and VOLT, etc.) Turns out when there's a bunch of shitters in a clan with oversized egos that they can't back up, and they come into contact with my oversized ego that I can back up, there's a problem, and most clan commanders aren't willing or able to kick out the shitheads who drag everyone else down, and I'm correct basically 95% of the time so they don't want to just kick me out, so everything kind of implodes. If someone repeatedly makes the same mistakes, I'm usually willing to point those mistakes out, and bad players never try to learn from their mistakes so I end up just describing why we lost a CW battle, and then saying the same exact thing three more times that night, then the actually good players figure out that wait we're not actually improving are we, time to find another clan.

I think the game is worse and is certainly more infuriating so I don't have the main game installed, just the super-super test Sandbox version. So I won't be there, if that'll make you more likely to want to play.
