>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.

What happened to /wotg/?
Also when will all these 2.0 shitters disappear from in-game?
They are pretty much sabotaging a tier 10-11 matches with their shit gameplay.

I shouldn't have started playing again so early in the year. I'll be fed up with this game once christmas comes around.

>>2029011
Give it a rest, shitters are always a part of the game

>>2029011
we can't even keep the /vm/ thread alive, let alone /vg/

Poor man's Tiger II Kuromorimine :(
Also, how's the Panther 88 nowadays?

>we can't even keep the /vm/ thread alive
Last thread died because a spammer flooded the catalog.

How bad is the grind for a new account on EU?

>>2031355
Grind has been significantly reduced for individual lines, but increased overall for the national tree
You will encounter 2 massive bottlenecks, T6 where you will be used as fodder for T8 and T8 where you will be used as fodder for premium T8 tanks and T10
If you make it to T10 after that you are better than 70% of the player base
Even without premium, it is impossible to lose money up to T8 unless you are 100% loaded with gold, however the game is generous with credit and xp boosters especially during large holidays
Easy lines include US T110E5 line, Object 140 line, Tortoise and T95 line (easy to play, but very team dependant), Canopener (you can even ignore the gimmick)
I would recommend you to avoid dedicated LT lines until you know the maps and how the positioning works

i have a friend who played that game for a while he could go on a long rant how pay2win ruined this game

>>2029011
onslaught is sucking up the tryharding population atm

Is WTR calculated from recent performance or whole history? I play way better than before, I wonder how much my account holds my stats?

>>2036974
The moment you stop caring about statistics is the moment your wr% starts getting better

>>2041691
I don't care about WR. The teams are often so unbalanced that you cannot win and after 1 minute it's already 2-7. I play to win, not to pad the stats. But at the same time, stats give estimation of your impact in the game.

I would love the game to have balanced MM, where your WR and current skill rating would allow you to estimate if you are improving or not, but that's not the case in WOT 2.0.

Also depends on the tank I'm playing, some are not fast/versatile enough to solo carry game, while some other are.

How shit is the Walking Dead tank? I already have a Toro so not sure I'll bother.

>>2046417
It seems interesting, it was broken on Lesta but the version we got is sort of a weird Minotauro/Italian TD sort of affair.
You have a LONG intraclip reload of 5s, but the DPM itself is pretty competitive among the T9 heavies and it has a short clip reload on a 5 round magazine, so you get the sort of stun proof/consistent reload advantage the Italian TDs have. It's less a conventional autoloader and more of a tank with that needs short windows of downtime to reload the autoloader which isn't much of an ask with how static the meta tends to be.
Of course the downside is it doesn't have too much in the way of turret armor and lacks gun depression, so it's more of a heavium although that seems to be half the "heavies" in the game anyways. Just not ideal on a tank that has an intraclip that isn't fast enough to magdump and isn't slow enough to be doing peekaboo tactics - by the time you retreat behind the corner you're already almost reloaded, but if you stay out in the open your reload isn't doing you favors and you don't have armor.

coming 2.1

>>2046417
Garbage when there's a superior tech tree tank in T54E1
Are you going to pay real money for a rear mounted tank that takes 20 seconds to unload a 2000 damage clip... Or play the busted shit that unloads 1600 damage in 6 seconds?

>>2047598
I hope they implement the same battle summary as in onslaught in random battles. Onslaught one is a really good improvement.

Why are pub players so fucking retarded
Why the FUCK do they insist on pushing into the open and die immedietely.
