Also, have your crew swarm another tank and kill their crew and start playing their tank.

Another day, another random battle featuring a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.

Picture the scene; you're using the M44 on Prokhorovka, happily blapping away at almost anything and everything your team spots (including some unfortunate bastard who's decided to park his Tiger (P) in the middle of the field), the score's an apparent dead-cert win at 13-6. Then some fucker pulls a plug somewhere and your team suddenly turns into the biggest pack of windowlicking mongo cretins imaginable, inexplicably deciding that slowly moving one-by-one over the centre ridge to try duelling a VK16.02 Leopard is the way to go, while some Ikv 90B racks up an easy Poole's Medal in the process.

This has been about 90% of my games since the patch, I want to enjoy playing but it's hard when there's so much stupid on display.

Supposedly WG doesn't want to do preferred matchmaking for premiums, but honestly since the patch it's rare my Skorpion sees a T10 match whereas before that's about all it saw

After watching some War Thunder stuff I think I'd kind of like it if WG incorporated their reticle system, you know, how the crosshairs move around compared to where you are aiming at....but then it'd likely suck for them as people get more pissed when their shots go flying way the gently caress off target with even less explanation than before. Sometimes I feel like I'm following Musket rules

V Someone in this very thread was saying they sold a tank because the shots would fo off into a high corner, or in some cases where I was at a dead stop, fully aimed and fired multiple shots that hit, need that last shot to kill and suddenly it's like the crew goes dumb, the next shot goes high, another will hit the dirt. I know I'm not the only one this happens to and it's not at super long ranges either.

Not only a Tier 9 tank as a Tier 8 premium, but a tank that will all but force every Tier 6-8 tank to carry way more gold ammo to deal with the glut of increasingly-hard-to-penetrate T8 premiums.

I possibly could of done something more effective with this money but I'm not sure.
i love when people beg for something for a mission and you can just destroy it, its really funny when they're on the other side of the map and expect the team to wait for them to get over to the last enemy

Holy poo poo people actually stuggle with that? Hah. They probably don't realize they only need the 15th mission finished with honors to skip the arti missions.

Also just got snapshot blind by a 113 in a CW fight against RDDT, lol. Fair play policy working as intended.

0 damage top tier T32 in the _BR_ clan. Two players on the winning team got 400some XP, basically what you'd get for a 0 damage game where your team killed all the enemies, and the rest might as well have lost. CAPFAST GUYS

Well I almost had mission 12 done in my 4502 after having HE and crap fired at me. Of course my team couldn't move to spot the T-49 and Skoda that were flanking me. I couldn't turn my front to them because it was facing the JT in front of me. So while my pubbies hide behind rocks doing nothing, I died, 40 damage short.

However, do not play past 12. All you will get is human filth that would be better incinerated for power or arty players who should be ejected into space without a space suit.

It's always nice when an objectively poo poo player calls you and the rest of the team bitches/retards etc. while doing nothing to actually help, only to meet them again in the next battle and show them who the real bitch is by making GBS threads all over them in particular.

Probably because I lose more than half my hit points to arty regularly and it doesn't miss nearly as often. I get splashed behind cover now both killing crew and stunning me. Zig zagging when being forced to move over open ground is often ineffective.

In short, I get less 1 hit killed than I used to (represented <2% of all total games). Instead, I get crippled in probably half my games due to both damage, module, and stun mechanics. Previously it was about 5-10% of all games where this would be a problem.

I guess I could turn to just driving super heavies so I don't care.
