So, World of Tanks, I play it, here's some criticism.

[Haba]

T2 can't scout for shit, but I've come to terms with it's true potential. You just use it to troll people. Since you can't even destroy a tier 3-4 tank destroyer from behind with it, I just pew pew their weak spots with one clip and then run away shouting "trololol". Unfortunately some later tier tanks are quite fast already, so... eh.

 

[Haba]

Absolutely shit tank with a shit gun, but sometimes you just get that lucky break. I had 6hp by the left and we were capping the enemy base with 4 seconds short of a victory. Oh well.

 

[Gregz]

Nice game, 8-9 kills gets you a Radley-Walters medal at Tier V or higher.

 

[Toffeli]

So guys... I am watching WoT videos and my dick is all hard and MoW:AS is getting old...

How painful will it be to get into WoT at this point?

I would recommend skipping this entirely, since War Thunder's land battles are almost here.

 

[Haba]

We shall see. It does look tempting.

 

[Erzherzog]

What with World of Warplanes releasing soon, plenty of opportunity to argue over which is the more monocled version.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Well, truth be told...and I've been playing almost 2 years...the reason I kept at it, was because I was so pissed off from getting my ass beat. So I kept playing, practiced, and now it is I who pounds ass...oh yes I do.

How in dafuq dis you get a 70% win rate? You platooning in the lower tiers?

Check his average tier on the last 7-60 days, over 8 so he is playing mostly 8-10 platoons.

 

[Elim]

Damn, that is impressive.

 

[Haba]

AFAIK, there is not much to argue there. WoWP is shit. Even the most hardcore WG fanbot WoT tankers play it only to get the free tokens/gold for WoT.

 

[Erzherzog]

War Thunder it is for me then.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

ohh i dunno, they aint willing to sit down and take it up the arse.

 

[Gregz]

Interesting news about the tank models upgrade.

I do wish they would prioritize multi-thread support however, WoT slams 1 of my 8 cores, leaving the other 7 unused. It's a very CPU heavy game.

 

[Haba]

God, this game is so horribly stupid.

But still, sometimes...

KV-1 S - 42.5 tonnes
T-34 - 26.5 tonnes

Yuup...

 

[eklektyk]

that feeling of almost but not quite ....

 

[Gregz]

 

[Zdzisiu]

that feeling of almost but not quite ....

You didn't do enough for you team, if only you had killed 7 more enemies you would surely won!

 

[eklektyk]

well .....

it goes like this:

i was last and alone in my poor type58 with hp maybe for one shot on me [many modules damaged including ammo rack and if i remember corectly engine]
so decided to cap and lure last enemy also type58 to me instead of goin to huntin ....

as it happens he decided he had enough and went to cap himself ...

it was debatable if i could have returned to my cap to kill him so i decided to cut my losses and finish on a draw

end of story

tldr; me pusssy

 

[Haba]

It really makes you contemplate life when you die with 8 kills on you and the rest of the team gets wiped out by the single remaining artillery piece.

I have been playing the game for a month, with 1k games my win rate is around 60 now. And I constantly see players in KV-1S/IS with 3k games and win rate of 39%. How is that even possible? Even if I AFK'd all my matches, I still couldn't get to be that bad.

Really can't remember any other game where the stupidity of my team-mates would infuriate me as much as in this one. I mean, I am admittedly a shit player who does stupid mistakes all the time, but if the entire team is shittier than me... And when that happens for 20-30 games in a row...

 

[Destroid]

It's because they are twelve year old children Haba.

 

[Haba]

If they were, they'd probably be wiping the floor with me. With 'dem youngin' reaction times and so on.

 

[Zdzisiu]

If they were, they'd probably be wiping the floor with me. With 'dem youngin' reaction times and so on.

Reaction times aren't that important, it is not a twitch shooter like CS. For example, it takes a lot more time to aim in WoT than in CS, and much of this time is independent of your reaction times.

Therefore, in WoT thinking beats pure reaction time and twitch skills. Unless you are left alone against 8 enemies because the retards from your team all suicided on the enemy TD.

 

[Hellraiser]

I envy the man who is ignorant of the scourge known as random teammates in MOBAs.

 

[Haba]

I fucking hate my life. Seriously, all my games today were like this.

I go to the enemy cap, we have four guys alive. Then someone shows up at our cap. The remaining dude RUNS AWAY from the cap, yelling me to come back. I kindly ask him to spot so I can reset the cap from far away. Instead he goes and hides in a bush.

I made it to the base by myself, killed the capper but 1 second too late.

It is like the match making is actively trying to make me lose it. A fucking kingdom for a nice, balanced game. But noooooh.

I wonder how War Thunder's matchmaker will be...

 

[Gregz]

A fucking kingdom for a nice, balanced game.

Pubs are like going hunting, depend on no one and destroy everything on the map (like you did). That's a great game you had up there. If there were good players on your team they would have taken some of those kills instead of you. Having a shit team gives you the best odds for getting great games, rare medals, mastery badges, etc.

If you want to coordinate with skilled players join a clan, a tourney team, or /friend some good players and use the Team Battle or Tank Company Battle modes.

Win rate is not the best measure of player skill btw, install XVM.

 

[Haba]

Yeah, I have XVM. I just personally track my own victories v.s. losses, just to see when a bad streak is bad enough that I should take a break.

I like playing casually on my own pace, but it'd be better if the games were even slightly balanced. Both the games where you get utterly destroyed and the ones where you win 15:0 are equally unsatisfactory. Essentially just waste of time.
