>FAQs
>How alive is the game?
The game still has a considerable playerbase, peaking during Christmas with over 1 million players.

>Is the game P2W?
You can rest assured that if you are good, you can beat other shitters reliably. Shitters can spend millions and still get owned by good players.

>How to gitgud?
Master the game mechanics and watch a lot of unicums to learn maps.
For new players: QuickyBaby.
For good/unicums: Dakillzor, Kajzoo, Iyouxin, Skill4ltu, Chems.

I have 4k battles and still am pretty bad at the game. What are the low hanging fruits to improve at this game? How to do 60% wr instead of 37%?

>>1956662
drop the shit lines, migrate your crew when you are dedicated in grinding a line and most importantly know your role
Don't get shot and trade only when necessary, don't engage in a slug fest against higher alpha tanks unless you know how to angle
Good stat padding tanks are the Pantera 44, T7 FSV, VK32M, OI with the 10cm gun

Green player here. Hated the fantasy uglo tanks and the fantasy tank events and left the game 4 years ago. How is 2.0? Did they get back to a more historical path?

>>1957363
more like the opposite and thats a good thing. the new tier 11 tanks for example are all AI generated fantasy tanks that never existed.
>the game is literally unplayable if theres anything thats not 150% realistic and historically accurate
please stay away

>>1957618
He needs to make other content beside shitting on WG and WOT in almost every recent video. WOT has problems but the core games is still the same, it's more like he got burnout and trying to find a reason to criticize the game for a sake of criticizing.

>>1957625
WG always aggressively monetized WOT, it's their business model. I even think it was worse back in the day. Either way, shitting on the game for that is valid, but at the same time if you put shade on the company, don't expect they will work to work with you on B2B basis. You can't have cake and eat it too...

Side note, the whole CC program is just marketing model for the game, sure content creators are getting some value with insider info or drops, but in the end of the day it's "free" advertisement for WG. This is not limited to this game only though. I feel like small creators are forced to play by the rules, because without this support they would become less relevant, but at the same time I feel like such advertisement should be compensated. And creators are not demanding enough compensation. I know some creators have ref link which they get % from, but many other doesn't even get that.

>>1957642
Creators often do streaming too. That's where the money is. Being CCs for WG is mostly for the creator account which gives access to everything in game.

God damn it, why is it so hard to do damage as top tier?

800XP for Ace in the 122?
I can't imagine the pubbies doing well

cudos to WG for finally fixing the gun bug without acknowledgment?

>>1959380
It was one of the most annoying bug. Lost so much dmg because of it.

For some reason I love watching gameplay of this game, but I can't get into playing it (Would rather play War Thunder).
But it feels like I'm watching a competitive sport, it's really fun to watch, especially with commentary or someone explaining what's going on under the hood since I'm not very familiar with the mechanics. Is there a league or something to follow, maybe some youtubers/streamer anon would recommend? I only know QuickyBaby and that one (Ukrainian?) guy who's name I can't remember (he had a long helpful tier 10 recommendation guide for new players).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1022&v=IlSMcJ7ekNc&feature=youtu.be
This in particular was an amazing comeback. (Meanwhile my tier 10 Maus takes 10 minutes just to get to the battle only to get killed in a couple seconds upon reaching my destination LOL) I want to watch more of these matches, and with commentary so I can follow them and appreciate them better.

>>1961425
You can watch stream instead. The competitive scene has different mechanics from the random match. Iyouxin, dakillzor, etc..

>>1961440
Thanks

Fucking stupid WoT, fucking stupid 2.0, fucking garage UI change, IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT! stupid Churchill I nerf, why get rid of the 75mm??? That's what set it apart from the Churchill III you fucking retards, now I have 2 tanks which play functionally the same, what's the fucking point, stupid fucking game

Just had my first game back of WoT, my fucking stupid team just fucked one flank, and then they capped us, I was ready to shoot into the cap but stupid nigger AMX went afk and didn't do shit. I didn't get shot at at all, I got 4 shots off, fucking waste of time why did I bother updating this game

>>1962306
And my second game was an easy 5 kill 7k damage stomp where only 4 players on my team died. Giving every disphit noob 1-2 tier 10 tanks for free has completely fucked the game up, comgratulations WG you are fucking incompetent retards who seem hell bent on fucking your own game up

Delete Last Stand.

>>1957363
World of Tanks was always a fantasy game, even back in it's pre-alpha phases when it was a historical fantasy RTS with elves and shit.

>>1959380
Which one?

>>1962316
>Giving every disphit noob 1-2 tier 10 tanks for free has completely fucked the game up
This is by design. u rike???

Rape whoever made last stand to death

>>1965179
>>1965741
This but artillery and artillery players

>>1965192
When tanks got destroyed there was a mismatch between the position of the hitbox for the gun and model, leading to shots hitting ostensibly an empty space
This was never acknowledged by WG despite ample evidence

I absolutely hate T9 and 10 heavy tank gameplay
I'll have a game where I do 2 shots of damage and the rest of the game the armor and gun refuse to work and next game I'll do 6k damage and block 5k

>>1966728
Wait until the free credit run out for the noobs. Too many of them in MM atm

>NA playercount just fell off a cliff
Totally not weird at all...

How's the Waffenträger going for other RU players?
I've noticed how there's a lot more snowballing on the team's part, mostly due to the Engineer being seemingly focused on the players who have recently died anyway, so those without damage boosts.
Most matches end with 2/3 people having double damage and all others standard or only one boost.

>>1970229
Their credit ran out.

What are the good light tank youtubers/twitch streamers to watch to get better?

>>1971339
skill4ltu livestreams are insufferable as fuck, but he does play good light. maybe try his youtube videos. he tries to behave like a decent human being in those.

>>1971339
Watch iyouxin yt vid
https://youtu.be/P7vjIXBAjyc

>>1970908
I'm more inclined to believe wg faked the numbers. WoT 2.0 was barely advertised and I'm doubtful a bunch of new players, especially in NA and in [current year] would actually jump onto this sinking ship of a game, even with such a deceitful incentive as two tier 10s for free.

>>1972153
>even with such a deceitful incentive as two tier 10s for free.
What's deceitful about that? They get what WG promised with no catch. Also it's mostly old players that come back to check the game and get free gibs.

>>1972193
It's fundamentally deceitful to new players because they don't know what they're getting into.

>>1972195
Lmao you can't even tell what's deceitful about it retard. The core game is still the same.

>>1971339
Iyouxin is probably gonna cover the general theory better wrt important bushes on a given map and how to handle camo/cvs wars.
Other individuals might have better content on tricks with specific vehicles.

You're unbelievably dishonest.
>Lmao you can't even tell what's deceitful about it retard
>literally said exactly what's deceitful about it in the most concise way possible
But now I've elaborated for your severely underfunctioning, cognitive wetware. Now fuck off back to eekeeboo's grooming dungeon.

>>1972524
>newfags don't know they'll need to buy premium tanks to farm credits to keep playing at any tier above 6
They do because they are returner, you literally said there is no more new players coming in the game and WG gives them a bunch of low tier prem to male some credit and learn the game
>throwing newfags directly into tier 10 without any lube is horrible for retaining them because they'll just get bullied by more experienced and more toxic players
They still get 2 tier X. Whether they choose to learn the game properly or getting farmed by vets are on them.
>this is compounded by tier 10 having the worst balance in the game
Tier X is the most balanced tier in the game. You are a just shitter.

>>1972530
We can actually determine the most balanced tier by examining the difference between the highest and lowest WR Diff on tomatogg.
WR Diff being the "change in winrate" that results from a player playing the tank.
A high positive value meaning players winrates increase in the vehicle compared to the nominal rate, a high negative value meaning players winrates decrease in the vehicle compared to the nominal rate.
The nominal rate being the accounts overall winrate.
And we assume winrate to be representative of match outcome influence and therefore vehicle impact on matches, or "power".

>Tier X
If we ignore the Dravec because it's inflated, 6.25% WR Diff spread.
>Tier IX
7.85%
>Tier VIII
9.54% if we ignore the Udarniy and E 65 Zwilling.

But something strange happens.
>Tier XI
4.15%

So the actual most balanced tier without looking below tier VIII is XI, followed by tier X.
We can also somewhat quantify this too and say that tier VIII balance is about 53% worse than tier X, and about 130% worse than tier XI.

how do you win this garbage ass mode?

>>1972533
T8 balance is dogshit because you're either playing a broken ass premium designed to drain wallets or you're playing some absolute ass clown T8 tech tree FXP bait
TVP VTU (Defender killer btw) vs Skoda T56, who do you think wins?

>>1973839
the TVP can always just flank

>>1972533
It doesn't work like that. You have to consider the players and the amount of vehicles in each tier. Of course that XI will have the lowest spread, because the population is small and consists only of more dedicated players. And then you have VIII where casual players are grinding their tech tree and uber tryhards who are farming credits with their premium reward op tanks with insane load out and crew. Stock VIII tech tree tanks are by design worse and not balanced.

In general interpreting matches stats is quite hard to do correctly, you have to factor a lot of variables to make fair comparison. But yes, lower tiers are not balanced and you don't need stats to know that, this is game design.

>>1973699
Platoon and pray that the Waffentrager sucks.

>>1973880
>Of course that XI will have the lowest spread, because the population is small and consists only of more dedicated players
In other words, it is balanced. You'd expect this to be true because there are fewer vehicles. That makes complete sense.
>And then you have VIII where casual players are grinding their tech tree and uber tryhards who are farming credits with their premium reward op tanks with insane load out and crew. Stock VIII tech tree tanks are by design worse and not balanced.
This is why we use WR Diff and not raw WR.
The most notorious vehicle in the tier is the BZ-176. It has a raw winrate of 56.6% and is played by players with an average winrate of 51.4%. This gives a WR Diff of 5.2% indicative of extreme power, and it is the highest such value in the tier. The four lowest vehicles in the tier are notoriously weak; T95E2, JT88, and KV-4 TTS, and the TVP VTU. So this WR Diff value does seem to be representative of vehicle power.
>In general interpreting matches stats is quite hard to do correctly, you have to factor a lot of variables to make fair comparison.
We do this using large sample sizes; all games on a server (EU because it is the largest sample) in the past 30 days.

Don't be afraid to look at the data and draw conclusions.

>>1973699
You don't need to win matches, you need to complete missions.

>in what reality do you live in, this wasn't even the case 12 years ago
Anon I'm not going to tell people to go play that game, but, for anyone lost enough to... the mouse input isn't 1:1 raw like it should be. Maybe you can disable "smoothing" but it's stiill got acceleration which is under the same umbrella of botched user input and referred to the same way by most people.

Mouse input fucked?
Mouse smoothing.
>ACKHTUALLY SAAR IT'S JUST ACCELERATED THE SMOOTHING CAN BE DISABLED THOUGH!!
Technically mouse acceleration and smoothing are different but that's irrelevant here. War Thunder's mouse input is DISGUSTING and World of Tanks did their mouse input right.

>Acceleration
Non-linear input:output based on speed
>Smoothing
"Cinematic" interpolation curves smoothing transition from point A to point B with the same total counts but smoothed.

Both are fucking horrible for any gaming.
Everyone defending anything between you and proper mouse input is probably a potato 30FPS slideshow player and can be ignored.

What does 2.0 mean? Are all stats from the original gone? Are there less tanks avaible? Are the low tier tank matches still fill matches with bots, so plays can't statpad against noobs?

Also is there an offline version of WoT, with all tanks unlocked, where you'd actually play against bots?

>>1975571
2.0 means a bunch of T11 tanks with gimmicks, 1 (won) new map, a YouTube tier UI update, a bunch of new missions for new campaign tanks, a lot of allegedly rebalanced tanks (3/4 being something extremely insignificant like adjusting terrain resistance for stock tracks; not addressing the extreme power creep at T8) and a MM update that I have yet to see evidence of it's existence

No offline, low tier matches are still dominated by vintage seal clubbing tanks like the 4/5, KV220 and lefh, but there are some arcade missions

In short, it's a half step forward after many, many steps back

>>1975581
Is the hp buff still a problem (no longer able to one shot low tier tanks with derp guns)? Remember it ruined the game how you could no longer one shot things with Stug-s, and Hetzer, also could not one clip with the machine gun tanks...

>>1975582
>Remember it ruined the game how you could no longer one shot
Fuck off seal clubbers. If you want one shot buy the FV 183 with the 15k bonds given by WG.

>>1975590
Seal clubbing literally was the only fun thing in the game, and also arty when it was more potent. Corner cancer soviet jerkoff gameplay is not fun. Nor is poking above hills with made up tanks that have unpennable turrets, aside of the cupola (viewing part). Spamming HE rounds for splash damage have also made the game more tolerable. It's not fun keep having to pen the exact spot on a tank 5+ times, while some inpatient slow "teammate" tries to push you out of the corner spot, or when both teams camp in the bushes, and whoever lose patience lose. Would be more playable without view range, and especially without the draw distance range. Also way less rng...

I made decent progress on black rock missions but i know i cannot complete the final missions of each category

Still at dravec. Just gonna take it slow.

>>1976179
Been jamming alt game modes and grinding just assault tds for next week so I'm still on windhund.

>>1976791
>Sad to see the community around it is basically dead on 4chan thoughbeit
Most of them moved to troon thunder

>>1976808
I keep both games installed and just dip in and out when I feel like it. WoT is much better for limited time events, and I always come back for Holiday Ops.

>>1975606
>Seal clubbing literally was the only fun thing in the game
Superheavies exist. Play them. The most fun in the game is arriving to the heavyflank after the first 2 shots have already been taken, then being the main objective for the enemy team from then on. Actual heavy tanks with small or strong weakspots, like the VK100, E75, Maus, T110E3, T95, K-2, KV-220-II or even P.II C
Heavily armored beasts are the reason flanks are won, not the half-medium heavy tanks of new with a severe lack of hull armor.
>>1975608
>Would be more playable without the view range limit and especially without the draw distance range limit
That makes it a giant campfest because people will snipe in a Maus even more than they already do. Play Warthunder if you want faggot playstyles. I want my Arcadey game of tank.

>>1977404
*uses the armor flashlight to hit your superheavy in the weakspots several times*
gg

>>1977579
armor flashlight is such a bummer
i used to bounce a lot more in IS-4, but armor flashlight shows the turret ring weakspots to everyone now

back then. only those who drove the IS-4 knew of the turret ring weakspot and armor flashlight lowers the knowledge gap, for better or for worse

>>1977919
>the knowledge gap, for better or for worse
to be fair it was bad game design. Game mechanics should be easily discoverable. You shouldn't have to play 10k battles and own IS-4 to know how to play against it. I understand this levels playing field on this aspect with newer players, but you still can outplay them with more advanced knowledge.

Also scanning tank with flashlight takes ages, they are not shooting you then.

Games like BF have artificial spread/bloom to "nerf" guns. To make very skilled players less effective and allow normal people also play the game. Some people will complain, but bottom line is that games should attract players, and most players are not uber tryhards. Most players are casual dads.

>>1978158
>Games like BF have artificial spread/bloom to "nerf" guns
We literally have that too it's called dispersion factors? There might even be hidden sigma factors like WoWS has but we'll never really know for sure if some tanks are more accurate (or less) than they SHOULD be or if that's just a crackpot conspiracy theory

>>1978192
Different thing. Gun dispersion is mostly to balance tanks between each other, not really to punish good players. Shooting in wot is not really mechanically demanding, it's by far not the main skill that good players have in this game.

>>1978218
>not really to punish good players
When you aim perfectly for the weakspot and it goes into the thickest part of their armor instead and ricochets because RNG said no, how is that not the same? And then the shitter who clicks on you randomly gets perfect dispersion and snipes you from across the map.

>>1978252
>When you aim perfectly for the weakspot and it goes into the thickest part of their armor instead and ricochets because RNG said no, how is that not the same? And then the shitter who clicks on you randomly gets perfect dispersion and snipes you from across the map.
That can happen to both you and the shitter. Stop crying.

>>1976791
That's the thing, this game isn't worth playing.
It has some fun gameplay but the more you play it the more you realize this shit is a rigged fucking lootbox kike torture app and little more than that.

Lootboxes in lootboxes in lootboxes with stacked RNG over stacked RNG over stacked RNG over stacked RNG plus FOMO and predatory targeting (sales for individuals, privately, not public) and it's all tailored to your spending habits.
Actually disgusting.

Someone needs to make a WoT clone because the GAMEPLAY (minus the horrible tuning of RNG and such) is actually genuinely fun and amazing but every other slice is awful so the pie is ruined.

Imagine WoT.
Now, imagine it without grinds. Imagine it without pay to win elements. Imagine it with slower aim times, but better aimed accuracy. Imagine bigger maps with more places to tank tanks with shit gun depression or utilize tanks with great depression instead of being funneled into 3 corridor RNG accuracy shitfests while clickers click people driving full speed.

People (myself included) want World of Tanks gameplay but they botch too many things for it to be enjoyable, especially in the long-term.

>>1977579
Forgot you guys had that. Anyway back to the Mäusekönig grind.

>>1978809
>Imagine it with slower aim times, but better aimed accuracy.

I think I hit my limit for black rock missions.
I will probably get assistance 15 done on a random prokhorovka game but as a 2000 DPG GOD the vanguard and ambush ones are too much for me...

today is one of those dogshit days where the RNG decided I am not allowed to deal damage and fully aimed shots go somewhere while some shotgun TD/heavy can shoot me on the move just fine from across the map

>>1979776
Assistance 15 done, fuck Prohorovka
Malinovka the GOAT map

Also, do you anons have any opinions or experience driving these battlepass tanks?
I'm close to 20 tokens and don't care for the 28 token tanks.

>>1983146
ERAC is ok, rest you can just sell for credits.

>>1983146
They're all trash, just trade for bond or bounty equipment

>>1983146
the only good experience I have with the 50t is when I see it on the enemy team

How do I know which tanks are "true" premiums that have the crew transfer benefit?
I have KPz 68 P and if I retrain the crew for the Leopard, will there be crew penalties if I cycle the crew back?

>>1983349
It's always stated in the vehicle details, and generally anything categorized as either a premium or reward vehicle will do this.
Beware of collectors vehicles, but those are neither premium nor reward vehicles.

>>1983475
Hill is not sure win, you need the beach too. If you win the beach enemy team can't defend the hill anymore and you can repush it.

>>1983421
Throwing in the towel here though. Never was a person that breached the 5k damage threshold consistently.

I don't have platoon mates to go track enemies on purpose and Ambush 11 onwards seems like a pain in the ass. Also asked various people what they used for this mission and they all said SFAC 105 which I don't have.

It'll take me 6 weeks of dailies and weeklies to bypass these missions, but it feels like a whole load is off my shoulders now. I am tired of these campaign missions making me treat everyone as an enemy and paying more attention to my teammates misplays when I wouldn't have before.

I don't hate the leopard 120, its not even fully upgraded yet
It is indeed a T10.5 tank, but if you are doing fine in the Leo 1, you will do fine in this one as well

>>1984752
More like 9.5, it's a worse leopard.

>bought the IS-2M
>play 10 games
>pic related
There is absolutely no way that the mm is randomised, they definitely give you favourable matches if you buy stuff. Having said that though I like the tank a lot and tier 7 seems to be the new comfy tier.

>>1984827
Why would you buy something that WG gave away for free? Even if you buy it with bond it's still wasted.

>>1984835
I have a lot of money but not a lot of free time.

>>1987499
One placement match I was in I had 40 seconds of inspire up and got 0 assistance.

pls recommend me a tank for the union(russia or china) for the excalibur+chimera+279 missions
did not want to to grind any russian or chinese tanks ever, but looks like I need at least one line for these missions
which one do I grind/get?

>>1988458
268v4
212a and the preceding tanks like su 14 2
t100 lt
wz 111 5a
140
122tm and lt432 are important premiums, 752 if you can get it.
Ace missions you can use lttb

>>1988458
you can't get by with one line. at the very minimum, you need a russian/chinese light tank, heavy tank and a clicker.
before committing to the campaign 2 grind are you willing to grind out all those tank lines, then play one tank like the T-100 LT for about 30+ games on average?

>>1989116
ok fuck
but what is a "clicker"?
could I just buy premium tanks? they should work right?

>>1989545
clicker is community term for SPG because all they do is sit back and click on people every 20-40 seconds
yes you can buy premium tanks, LT-432 pretty much bypasses grinding up light tank tech tree

new tank trade-in event, lasting until october 9th
i would have done a trade-in if there was the jagdtiger prototype instead of the 8.8 cm variant.

https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/specials/trade-in-october-2025/

>>1989573
also, keep in mind the 2.0 changelog tells us what premium tanks are being buffed next major patch.
might be worth a target for a trade-in, like the t-44-100

>>1989573
>only garbage tanks
Pass

>>1989650
post buff T 44 100 is kinda cracked but they priced it at 9500.

>>1989650
>>1989676
t-44-100 got a giga buff compared to everything else on the list.
DPM, penetration and gun handling went waaaay up. don't sleep on it.

>>1989676
>>1989681
Lol it's still a med with 250 alpha. Just play the shitpak instead.

>>1989722
It's the best inspire tank for onslop lite now by a wide margin

>>1989722
Nah, shitpak doesn’t have the armor profile, hp pool nor access to CVS to be able to play forward positions as the t-44-100 can.

I will find this retarded animal and break his neck

>>1989976
Agreed

Total clicker death

Is the Taliban a fun tank?

holy fuck i managed to do vanguard-13 for blackrock
dumb ass mission asking for 4500 tracked damage when every heavy you meet are either facing you head on or untrackable tanks like taschenrattes / object 257 / maus

i had to club a fucking tier 8 match in a type 5 heavy for crying out loud

>>1996241
was extremely strong for its time, but you pretty much have to fire all premium AP now.
if you have an xm57, nearly same playstyle on a better platform. if you want to HESH meme, wait for the gonsalo variant instead

>>1996241
No, it's trash therefore it's not fun. The BZ gun is what it should have haf to be considered playable. You would have more fun playing the grom or XM because ypu won't be hitting shit at long range with the Taliban gun either way.

Chems said the Taliban is good ergo

He's a chud thoughbeit

>>1996241
Very situational.

>>1995564
Rent free.

I am going to get the taschenratte , anything I"m suppose to know before using this?

>>1997363
It's a monster tank. Insane hp and armor to trade and the secondary gun is good for baiting and soft target.

uh oh, wg employee melty!

>>1997363
It's going to get nerfed

Why do low tiers have better map awareness than T10?
half the fucking time the team abandons 2/3 of the map only to lose to like 3 to 5 enemy tanks
fuck this shit

>>1997643
Tier 5-7 is the fun zone and what I play most now too. If you play tier 8 you're sucked into the tier 10 grind blackhole against tanks with impenetrable (even with gold ammo) turrets that play hulldown, not fun. 1+/-1 was a brazen lie. Playing tier 9 premiums is ok if you have any but you'll still be uptiered the vast majority of the time.

>>1997643
Did u forget about free T10?

>>1997740
not an argument
this has been happening before 2.0

>>1997869
>this has been happening before 2.0
no it didnt stop lying you fucking bloody

>>1997891
yes it did, retard

>>1997643
right now in tier 10 people are playing weirdly due to sector 3 missions + it also caused team compositions to go to shit with 2-3 light games, 4-5 TDs and 2 clickers being the norm now.
it gets even worse when onslaught goes on and all the good people ditch randoms, leaving only the waste behind.

tier 5-7 feels better because it's a mix of veterans (new players don't care about mid-tiers when they already got 2 free tier 10s and bond tanks) and people tryharding the windhund - dravec missions at the same time.

Started just playing tiers 6 and 7 and my mental health has improved.

>>2001129
No one said that that you have to play high tier to have fun.

tanks for doing 4x own health in dmg?
ambush campaign tanks

>>2001917
mid tier mediums with high rate of fire that can spot for themselves like FSV and E8 Sherman
polak TDs but you need someone to prevent you from being flanked

>>2001917
I don't even have to make any effort to do that mission.

>>2001917
Low hp tds like sfuck and su130pm. Borsig with big gun for povvos.

Reminder that the mere concept of "gold ammo" is one of the most disgusting jewy things in the entire industry.

>>2001917
this mission is tier 7 premium TD check if you are shitter like me, and the SFAC 105 is also really good for having low base HP at tier 8
tier 7 tech tree TDs should be avoided because they got HP buffed. i did it with M56 scorpion and E25 personally

i didn't see anyone talk about the upcoming map changes, but thoughts?
https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/general-news/2-0-1-map-rebalance/

Fjords is getting off my perma ban list, they deleted a whole ass mountain up the north of the map.
a lot of good light tank maps are gonna get nerfed for LTs though, because of how brawl-centric the map changes are turning out to be, like Erlenberg and Highway.

recommend anons complete as many Assistance missions as possible in the sector 3 mission campaign before this patch goes live.

>>2003857
until they remove m*nes or relegate it to T4 max, I'm not interested in any map changes

>>2003857
Can't tell how good these changes are yet. The removal of the beach on overlord is good tho, I'm tired of seeing retard going down there and cost me the game.

>>2003870
too bad they're not willing to make mines the onslaught version at least

i hated Fjords, Erlenberg and Highway due to all the open no mans territory that got you killed when crossing by bush wanking tank destroyers, so i'm excited for these changes

>>2003874
the overlord beach was fun to brawl with others as a gentleman's agreement in the first few days of the 2.0 patch release, until the TDs and SPGs started going down there too a week later. i'm going to miss it a few years down the line

>m*nes

Hey guys check out my new video testing out the REFORGED update.

https://youtu.be/Xwz1YjbDKqE

I think its pretty cool. Also tell me how fucked up my video editing is, im just learning.

How many of you have ended up getting the E 65 Zwilling?

>>2009809
I boughted. 1.5s intraclip feels really nice.

>>2009809
Got it, but will give it a spin only after I get enough crew

>>2009809
Yeah but I wont be able to play it much until later this week. Seems like a novel tank that should make reasonably good money.
Takes maus/e100 crew layout as well.

Week after this we get a new gup tank too which im probably gonna end up using mentor tokens on for my shitty no zero skill patton crew since they leaked it's Kay.

>>2009809
tier 8 not fun, i can perform in it but it's simply boring to face the same premiums over and over again.
even tier 9 being cucked as -2 bottom tier is more fun because the variety of tanks in a match increase

>>1956250 (OP)
Update 2.0.1 info:
https://worldoftanks.eu/en/content/docs/release_notes/release-notes-2-0-1/

Map reworks for Erlenberg, Highway, Overlord and Fjords: https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/general-news/2-0-1-map-rebalance/

New info they sneaked in the notes - Full compensation for ammo that were obsolete from the 2.0 update, as WG demounted them automaticallly and sold them at a 50% credit value.

New EU5 server.

>>2010059
Another credit injection, lets go.

>>2010059
You must sell these shells before the 2.0.1 update though - if you haven't sold them yet, do so now.

How's the game nowadays?
Depend on how WoWS handle missiles, I might just come back to WoT

>>2009809
I got it last night. I have 3 prems from the bond store but this is the first I got with gold.
Hopefully it'll be more fun to play than the is-6b.

>>2010352
>mistles
What now? when is this dropping? did it already drop? I haven't popped WOW open in a while. is it gonna go down like missiles in WOT Blitz? I miss them...

>>2010352
>no gold ammo
>chill PVE modes
>much more generous with daily rewards
>possible to play tier 10 and make a stready profit as long as you have premium

I'd stick with WoWS desu, also the matchmaker right now in WoT is horrible.

How's it going for you guys?

>>2011469

Rhm rules, in fact I'd recommend it to climb out of bronze.

>>2011469
https://youtu.be/gwBgHAdWiMg
It's never too late to gitgud

>>2011469
it's actually pretty fun to carry yourself out of bronze and silver with fv4005
you get massive points for winning and don't lose a lot of points on a loss for hitting at least 2 shots

>>1956250 (OP)
last time i played was 2016
are the tier 9 and 10 still unplayable unless you have premium ? (aka you will lose credits even if you win because gold ammo and repair cost so much)

>>2013268
The game was designed to lose money at high tier from the start. There are plenty of free tier 8 premium for f2p players nowadays. There was 2.0 patch that gives insane bonus like 15k bonds, 2500 gold and a whole tech tree for free, 10m credit.

Leo 1 or STB-1?

>>2013300
Leo1. Stb gun is trash and 360 alpha doesn't cut it anymore.

nice
now the score screen can't remember your choice of filter and defaults to vehicle

>>2013300
different play styles
leopard is long range
stb is close to medium range hill fighter

>>2013300
STB-1 due to horrible grind. STB-1 requires you to shoot a lot of gold ammo in tier 11 matchups and low damage per shot at 360. The economic on this tank is intense and requires 3 skill crew at a minimum, so watch out for that.

i had a solo cerberus player kill the last phase of the nightmare boss by himself. the stealth heal ability is OP

>>2013572
You should thanks him for carrying after battle.

>>2013300
Steebs situationally useful, leo is actually a shitty tank that everyone glazes because it has good gun handling.

>nightmare
>500 HP on final boss before time runs out

>>2014167
>leo is actually a shitty tank that everyone glazes
this. It's a tank for passive players, who do nothing whole game and just snipe from some bush. And think they made a difference in game, because they this some dmg.

Though in wot, you need only few play makers per team, rest can be bots who just shoot when they see. That's why onslaught is nice, because the skill rating filters bots out in your games.

It's coming

>>2015259
>Lets take something cool and just ad anime girls to it so maladjusted losers can coom to their fantasy tank girls.

do they even work?
I legitimately feel no impact, despite specifically aiming for the rear 1/3 of the tank

I don't think most people here will really care too much, but the Lesta (RU) server is trying out a system where they're giving ammo a "weight" and a carrying weight limit to tanks based off of their max ammo capacity, with generally Premium rounds being a lot more heavy.

For example, in the picture:
T110E4 can either run 36 regular AP/HE rounds or 12 APCR rounds.
This can also be mixed to be, for example, 16-6-2 (AP-APCR-HE)

It seems generally from a quick look that premium HEAT has a 3x multiplier while premium APCR has a 2x multiplier for weight, with exceptions for tanks such as 60TP (HEAT 2x), T110E3 (APCR 3x), OBJ 277 (HEAT 2x), T110E4 (APCR 3x), AMX 50 (APCR 3x)

Anons, is there some kind of connection issues with wargaming servers?
I can't open their webpage and the game can't connect to the servers either.

>>2017071
The web page is accessible except the news about GuP.

>>2017029
That's retarded. Literally just make tanks have no ammo limit instead of trying to cap ammo count. Only shitters crying about premium shells.

>>2017029
Kinda pointless, I'd rather just see a normal ratio cap than the ability to take pure gold but you get fewer rounds and potentially run out of ammo early for it.
So rather than 12 APCR rounds on your T110E4, you can take 24AP/12APCR and that's the max amount of APCR you can take, there's no way to take more than 12 rounds in the rack.
This system just risks 46%ers throwing the match even harder because they have 12 gold rounds and are now useless after missing half of them.

>>2017029
Lesta is cooking too much with their changes
I liked their initial balance changes after the company split, these new additions afterwards feel a bit too much...
Even in that change they're already adding exceptions. If you have to launch a gameplay change with exceptions right off the bat then the foundation is already shaky

How long does it take for customer service to reply?
I've sent a ticket a week ago ffs.

>>2018548
Normally it takes a day or 2, but it's been overloaded since 2.0 patch.

I fixed the sound and re published the video. Check it out. UT3 is fun and im pretty sure its still running

https://youtu.be/gbgtqZiK5Hc

>>2018761
Nigga this is WOT PC general.

>>2018838
Close enough. Sugmuh.

Best tank for this event?

>>2019299
They are all good.

>>2019299
Double, hornet, and the mediums.
Grenadier cant do the boss fight, legio ferrata gets HE penned.
If you're too smoothbrained to play without armor then just taking the double and ramming everything to death is optimal.

You need to play each once a day for reels anyway.

Grinded out the free commander and the universal book. Good enough.
If I knew I could've jumped reward levels I wouldn't have bothered with stages 1 to 3

>>2019299
Malachite (T-54) and Double (IS-3-II) are the most forgiving
Cerberus is good if you get lucky enough to get the firepower enhancement path

DO NOT unlock Legio Ferrata it's so ass
Not even worth using as another daily tank to grind daily +2s on

T57 my beloved...

>clems released a video playing the gr*nadier
oh boy, can't wait for more solo gr*nadier shitters to flood the game mode matchmaker and make it even more unplayable

is the free tier X tank shit still ongoing
what the fuck kind of date is "middle of october"

>>2020026
wait nevermind i'm retarded it was oct 13, I wasn't late for it but a friend was asking about it

This game is shit, you get funneled into getting to tier 10 then when you get there you're on a never ending treadmill forever chasing credits because even with premium time and a premium account you still can't reliably make credits. Thanks for the "free" stuff, but I understand now why so many people have left.

Who the hell is gonna grind this full event?

>>2020103
You are retarded, the game never force you to play with tier 10 or 11 to enjoy the game.
