It is interesting how everything WG does seems oriented towards the hardcore players, which is pretty much the opposite of what made this game successful.
Clans, team battles, ranked, tournaments is basically for those that have the effort to spend a massive amount of time on the game, whereas I would guess that the average player logs in, plays 3-4 games and then logs out/ragequits.
It also seems that every game mode they implement opens itself to matchfixing since for some obscure reason there has to be an award to play a game mode.

Pretty much it is only the personal missions that have been implemented in a way that doesn't require effort/matchfixing per default.

I think I have played less overall since Personal Reserves became a thing. At first I thought, "Great! Boosts!", but the thing is most of them last for 2 hours, so it ended up that any time I wanted to play I had to think, "Do I have a 2 hour block?" quite often I did not, so do I play sub optimally without boosters, or waste some of a booster? Ugh, gently caress it I'll do something else. Of course, added to that, on EU they hardly ever give out credit boosters so while the XP boosts are fun for a time you ultimately run into an even harder credit wall. On the other hand, WoWS has Signals which you can put on a ship for a match, so even if you only play one nothing is wasted.

Speaking of WoWS, WoT's new Personal mission setup looks a bit like the campaigns they have. Except Personal missions were released once in like 6 years while WoWS gets new campaigns fairly often and has fairly sane requirements which can mostly be done over a number of battles rather than requiring luck in team comp and perfect play once you get it, AND they have a rotating series of PvE events which are fairly fun. I guess mostly I am saying the WoWS team seems more on point with giving causal players stuff to do. WoWS has its own issues of course, but I think a lot of stuff is done better than in WoT.

Some of the LT missions are clearly from pre Scout-role-nerfs as well. But I agree, WG have no clue how to make this game more fun for casuals, which would greatly increase the playerbase and give us more dummy team mates to rage about.
I mean who doesn't like watching a T30 hunting arty for 5 minutes when all he had to do to finish your carry game was go on the loving cap.

Sadly, what do you think would happen to the NA server population if central/south america got their own local server(s)? In addition to that, imagine what would happen to the server population if WG actually wanted to eliminate bots from the game?

However, good job for triggering the KGB.

Not for that exact layout, no, and certainly not with a premium LT. Have to waste hours of time in a Super Pershing or something then retrain them after (and end up with a completely superfluous Radioman too), unless you feel like throwing endless reserves into the T37 for a matching layout.

Hello,

I occasionally feel like playing some casual WoT because I have brain problems. I was a newbie back then and pretty much still am. I haven't checked my account yet but I do know I followed newbie advice to head up the american heavy line and score myself a T29, and get a Hellcat on the side. That worked out pretty well. Are they still nice little beasties? I recall the t29 being slightly on the expensive side to play for a f2p player, but it was a goddamn camp monster worth the price. Pubbies would try to destroy that turret all the time. Does it still anger people?

Most people know better than to shoot at a hull down T29. The dumb ones will usually try a few shots, the smart ones won't bother, the really smart ones will try to slam high-caliber HE into your ears or AP into your cupola, at least at close range.

T-29 is an OP PoS that should have been nerfed into oblivion years ago. The Hellcat unfortunately, for you, has been. The gun is ridiculously inaccurate (For a TD), mobility is poor.

Yesterday was a complete loving shambles for teams, with a 41% WR for the session. Even when top-tier (an almost impossible occurrence in a two-man platoon) there's gently caress all you can do when the rest of your team lemmingtrains off the other way to melt within 4 minutes, leaving you to deal with 10+ enemies swarming you all at once.

Today's looking no better!

Boy ain't that the truth.

Recently the EU servers have been making me want to kill my team and then myself, because half (on a lucky day) of my team will be double digit efficiency rating bots, the other half will be Russian and Polish people team killing each other. My winrate has dropped significantly and it seems that almost every match is a complete loving blowout with one side (the one with actually decent players) winning by 12 or 13 kills and it's just luck which side you'll end up on.

XVM also proves that Wargaming don't take your rating into account AT ALL when matchmaking, because in 99% of my games one team will be 4/5 pure red and the other will be an actual team of decent humans, who will then proceed to utterly crush the other team.

Americans only, as usual, right?

E: also, it seems like there's some new bot making the rounds that doesn't give a fuuuuuuck about shooting teammates, because I've been taking a lot more friendly fire in recent days from sub 100 performance rating tomatoes who just try to shoot at the enemy through me. It's not a case of me driving in their line of sight just as they shoot either, it's like the bot just doesn't understand that there's a friendly in the way.
