As a former M1A1 tank commander I can confirm that tank shoots better on the move than stationary but usually around 20 mph is the sweet spot for the stabilization. I'd like to see wore guided missiles modeled properly. Nobody can shoot those on the move..as I recall the Bradley was supposed to go no faster than 5 mph and shoot tows. The challenge is that the maps are way to small. Western MBTs are accurate to 4-5 km if properly boresighted.
Thanks for the clarification. 20mph might be a bit slow for the game but I would like to see a reduction in speed to reflect the reality of these tanks and their ability to engage targets accurately.
Point this out about the Wiesel TOW system many times.
I have been played over 7 years and I am 60y. Like Riki said, CW is nowdays too fast. Mine reaction time is not like young dudes has. Fast tanks kills Me and I can do nothing about, too late I am dead. I took break for playing and hope something changes soon. I like CW Mode More than WWII and I am not going Back to WWII. Great Video Riki!
I'm with you, slow it down.
This video is about Era 3, however, I would like to mention that many of the problems of Era 3 are also in WWII, more specifically in tier X. Avres and Tarans in the hands of average players dominate the games with ease and the gigantic difference in skill of the players in this category kills the games quickly and without any satisfaction. I would like to believe that WG is working to fix this, but except for a few rare glimpses of success, what I am seeing is quite discouraging.
I totally agree with you. Great comment.
I have a WW2 / AVRE video coming soon.
Clone Guy has recently put out some excellent videos about the problems with WWII.
Totally agree with what riki said , especially on the price of era 3 tanks, £ 50 pounds plus for a tank is a complete insult .
Too much for a game mode that is substandard.
I dont want eras 2 and 3 slowed way down , 10 kph at most just on the MBTs . If you want to drive about at 30 kph, then potter about in tier 10 or era 1. Do not mess up eras 2 and 3 for everyone else , it not fair . Like I said, tier 10 is there if you want to go slow and get marks on your barrels .
@@FERRETMAXIMUS I don't think it will ever slow down that much. MBTs dropping from 85kph - to 60kph is my expectation.
I don't want the Wiesel to EVER be able to bounce a 120mm Abrams shell. Also, if it's hit by said shell, it should be game over for it, period.
I agree 100%. I have checked out videos here on youtube of the real wiesels and the thing is a glorified shopping cart. it should be impervious to machine gun fire and nothing else. in reality, one 120mm round would completely destroy a wiesel. Let it keep its other OP features, but make it a 1shot for MBT's.
It's tiny, then it should has a tint hp pool. If I was developer, I would nerf it's hp pool to 1200.
Another item to add to the "To Fix" list.
Bigger maps and 2 caps would stop the wolf packing
It wouldn't make a difference trust me it won't work I play almost exclusively era 3
I believe the OP is correct. Larger maps and 2 caps/multiple starting areas will do wonders for Era 3.
I think bigger maps would only be a bigger play ground for the wolfpacks.
100 % agree, another way to slow down Era 3 games could be to add TD with very high damages, people will still rush at the beginning, but they will quickly stop doing it.
Adding more OP tanks to balance the game?! Are you kidding?
I will laugh at your tank in my 1A1 Tow
@@0-B1 ils about game pace not this specific OP tank
@@milad7764 Those kind of huge damage TD already exist in all areas, even in WoT classic
@@delseb5852 we have problem with only two or three tanks : Wissel tow, and object 477 and maybe one more tank. Just nerf those garbages will fix 80 percent of the problem in era 3.
Brilliant analysis,. I think the suggestion that someone made about removing auto-aim is absolutely spot on, tanks could be just as quick and powerful as they are now but they would have to slow down to be sure of a hit.
I hear that a lot. I'm not against it but the skill ceiling for light tanks will be crazy high. Tanks like the 101 and the 107 will be very difficult to play.
@@Rikitikitave Leave the lt tanks with auto aim but not as accurate for every shell. Get in the situation to help and get out because yoloing will not decimate.
100% Argee! I've been playing since beta PC days! Just over 6 years on PS! You, sir, are spot on! 👌 Thank you for the content.
wow just been reading threw some of the comments on this video and i am disappointed and shocked at them Riki is commenting on his own opinion of the state of era 3 like we all do and people have the right to their own opinions but to personally attack his opinion is one not cool and total uncalled for!
Make content, they said.
It would be fun, they said.
🤣
Another great video and very well said could not agree more with your comments
The following issues pretty much sum up my main gripes with the game: it's too fast, tanks are FAR too accurate, and all the Devs have done since 6.0 is encourage reckless and skill-less gameplay via Cold War and the frighteningly numerous amount of broken, overpowered premium tanks over the last 3 years or so introduced in the Season Passes.
Not to mention the seemingly "rigged" RNG/MM and the simply trash servers making consistently good gameplay an absolute nightmare at times. I've played this game for just a tad over 9 years now, and I've come to accept the possibility that the damage these Devs have done to the game since 6.0 is just far too much for them to fix. The damage has been done, and the hole has been dug. No amount of fixes or Updates will ever bring this game back to what it used to be ever again.
Unless the ENTIRETY of 6.0 - then and now - is rolled back to what it was before that fateful December Tuesday in 2020, and Cold War is completely removed, this game will never reach its former peak again. They have lost far too much trust over the last 4-5 years to build this dying community back up to its glory days. Now, I'm just riding it out until this game inevitably passes away and the servers are shut down for good.
We will see.
What are you whining about? They didn't remove ww2, you can still sit out in the open like an idiot and be invisible.
Oh that's right, you can't do that in cold war, the game is in the toilet now, best to get rid of the mode you don't play then huh.
You are absolutely right! I loved this game until that 6.0 happened. After that I left and play WoT on PC. I mean after 6.0 I've played maybe 20 battles in total on PS5 because every time I try it out I dont like it and quit. Before 6.0 Update this was my favourite game I liked it even more than the PC version. I cant say anything about cold war mode but it seems very different to WWll
@@acetanker9155 so you've never played cold war then?.
It has some differences from WW2, it has no arty, and the main one being is, you are always visible so you actually have to use hard cover and bushes, and using the correct camouflage colors will help you too. Cold war turns the game into what it should have been from the beginning but wasn't because of hardware limitations when it first came out 15~years ago.
So when people aren't invisible anymore and can't cheese it for wins, they lose their minds and rage. That's it
I ram killed few Wiesel tanks but they are still as bad I hope they fix that I like this I play it a lot and Care for it to continue I know they are trying there best and you are too thank you for making time to improve the game
The ram changes are a step in the right direction for sure.
very well said and I hope WG is listening like you say
I totally agree with Riki. Been playing this game for 10+ years and was really enjoying the CW mode, but after WG has introduced so many advanced premiums the fun has gone down the drain. Era 2 & 3 is, for me anyway, unplayable, and WG just keep on releasing ATGM tanks with ridiculous speeds, for ridiculous price tags. So ive sold my tech tree tanks, since there isn't really a place for them anymore, and moved back to ww2. CW is land of the premiums atm, and i really hope they will make it fun again, but i doubt it, feels like all that matters, is more money in their pockets.
Era 2 is heading way for sure. More premium mediums than TT mediums right now.
Dear Riki, thank you so much for this video, it’s accurately amazing! You just pointed out everything I was thinking about. 👍👍👍💪💪💪 for this vid! The same thing is happening in WWII mode. I literally stopped playing cause I’m sick and tired of these 4 mins games.
Glad so many others are on the same page.
I totally agree with this , just slow all era's down and this would also help with the weasel making it easier to hit!
Well said
I've been playing WOT for a year and I'm even streaming it, but I completely agree with you, great video
Good luck with your channel and your streams.
Don’t really play ww2 maybe a few a week,but I love CW but only play era2 because of the weasel lol 😂, FV4211 is my fav just got the Gold mark 👌🏻,and this video sums it all up pal good work keep it going ❤
I started playing CW because I couldn’t stand the mobility in WW2. The first tech tree tank I ever researched to tier X was the M1A2. I was driven by the short training mission in which you could use the M1A2. About 2 months after I reached tier x the weasel was released, basically making the tier X achievement obsolete. I quit playing for 268 days then got back into it for about a year only to see the re-release of the weasel and matches with 10 weasels on both sides. That was a circus, haven’t played since. There needs to be a TECH TREE ONLY option for people that enjoy a tank game and they can keep the current Italian plumber go kart game as an option for the folks with short attention spans.
I feel you. My biggest regret as a content creator was telling people to buy the Wiesel when it was released. It does make the TT tanks feel worthless at times.
I like era 1 the most. I would love to see more past WW II vehicle's in era 1, because of the tru vision environment. Like the T95E6, or the Leopard 1. The choice of vehicles in era 1 is not enough, tech tree or premium. I also would like to see bigger maps, where you can do more tactical maneuver's.
Everything you said pretty much sums up my experience with WoT console right now. I have interest in grinding new lines of tanks in Modern Armour, for it all to only end in the sh!tshow that is era 3. So I stick to WW2 era where no matter the tank, I can influence the state of the game by applying my map, tank, and ammo knowledge to try and play to its strengths. Era 3 is a Yolo show, that just showcases how broken some tanks are . At tier 10 in the game at the moment feels more balanced, with an underlying current of it slowly shifting to Era3 with higher and higher alpha .
I hear you, power creep in Era 3 is not the solution.
Bang on! I only play my era 3 tanks in co op because it's more fun. 9 + years over 50k battles. And that is the state of things. Era 1 is fine. I hope they don't screw that up too!
I'm with you, Era 1 is the best Era but I would love to say that the whole of CW is great to play.
This is a good take on the current state. I agree totally with you to the point that I havnt found it worth it to even buy the premium season pass for a 4000gold era 3 tank… cause I just don’t like the way the era plays.
I understand where you're coming from.
The gun barrels should be set as "solid" instead of "ghost", I think it can cause damage barrel to avoid those stupid crash to each other.
Interesting idea, certainly would change the way we play corners.
Good analysis Riki. I'm going top stick my neck out and propose halving the speed and halving the Alpha in Tier three - that should slow things down a bit...
Yep, slow it down.
I want to see larger maps for Cold War. The maps are too small except for the four or five specifically made for Cold War. The games would be longer in duration if we had larger maps to play on.
Larger maps might help but I think you'd end up with wolf packing on larger maps. Nothing would change.
Thanks for your efforts. I’m glad they’re listening. But as they say, the proof is in the pudding. So we’ll have to wait and see what actually happens.
True
Who do I talk to about a couple premium tanks I sold due to the buy back option but when I went to buy them back I couldn't a d I lost the 2 tanks permanently?
Submit a ticket to WG, they can help you with this issue.
Totally agree Riki with all the issues i have seen a lot of changes in the 10 years of playing this game some good but most bad but the recent changes seem to be focused on dumbing down the game for the new players IE. easier to gain XP and progress far too quickly up the tiers/ eras so the players don't learn the game properly there is no more strategy involved its just a run and gun game for the kids now which is a shame.
You are spot on yet again, playing Era 3 is no fun at all. Era 1 and sometimes Era 2 is the way forward
Era 1 still gives me great games.
When it comes to the Wiesel I feel like it’s in a good spot the Wiesel makes Leo 2A6 drivers nervous in skirmish’s so with it’s mobility it’s accurate to real life. Yeah you can’t drive irl the way you do in the game but that’s why it’s a game I DO think it bounces way more shells than it eats but it is a step in the right direction fixing the ram damage it already takes way more skill to be a Wiesel driver if they fix the underpen it’ll be even better
I think the small change means WG are willing to make minor tweaks. We’ll see what happens in the future.
The weasel can't shoot on the move in real life , a shooter need to go out to reload and shoot the atgm
@@MomoBmg that is true. If we had to be stationary to fire ATGMs that would change a huge amount.
agree with the wiesel and the obj 477A, the only truly effective course of action against a 477A if you are forced to attack frontally by yourself is to load up hesh or HE and that will knock their health back and usually cause them to back out of a brawl but its a slow process and you will take significant damage in return
Yea the return damage being x2 is the problem with that.
Spot on boss, i love era 1 & 2 but 3 is just no fun especially in a chieftain 🤣
Systemic problems with ERA 2/3: ATGM tanks can fire and guide missiles on the move. This makes the game more “cartoonish” because it isn’t a thing in real life.
Small maps need to be removed from ERA 3 because bigger maps would help spread out wolf packs.
You’re not the first to mention that about ATGMs. Could be an interesting change if it’s introduced.
The big think that really gets on my nerves is the team being like sheep all going same direction then enemy team comes from other way so it’s just just a one sided battle they also need to sort the beagle out it’s way too strong for era 2
Mindlessness kills the incentive to play.
I have been destroying Wiesel’s by ramming them, and I’ve been hitting them more often. Well ever since I got up to the M1. Which is weird to me because that’s the only tank I’m able to even get them in.
The M1 is a rapid tank, that's probably how you're keeping up with them.
I agree with everything. I play era 3 and I get frustrated with the mindless mob rushes in the game.
Same here, it's infuriating sometimes.
Totally agree. I only play era 1 in cw all the ridiculous atgm's and auto cannons in era 2 and 3 make it an absolute waste of time 😔
Great video. Yes wargaming listen but not to every screaming moron, who just go "this game is shit, innit!" They need constructive feedback from experienced guys like yourself who can give honest criticism. Era 3 is a shit show, but I am pleased to hear they are working on changes, and I for one appreciate that changes take time.
It's not easy to keep a game of this scope balanced, as every new addition can change the meta, and there has to be new additions for otherwise the game will get stale and stagnant. So while frustrated in the short term, I am hopeful for the long term. Good video, this is the insightful commentary the player base needs
Yeah I been playing for abit now I left ww2 for cw I think what would help if thay put different modes to play we’re it can make a game go fast or slower than normal don’t think any tanks like td to help slow games down I do believe we need more game modes for ones that can’t keep up
New modes would be a fair bit of work, slowing everything down would be an easier fix I think.
The weasel is not as big of a pain since the last patch, ive actually noticed a difference, there still a pain tho, just not a total pain.
I’ve noticed there are fewer of them.
How about a travel and accuracy mode added to era 3 tanks even era 2 if needed so tanks can still go 60 to 80 kph but if u switch to accuracy mode armoured vehicles drop to 40 kph an lightly armoured tanks drop to 55 kph this could slow down engagement but still allow for mobility to aquire map control.
A new game model is a lot of work, I think it would be easier to fix what we have already.
Riki, if there is one or two Wiesels/team they are no problem. Any direct nerf to the Wiesel will upset the other half of the players. They bought some statistics of that tank. They just need to change the MM a little bit.
No one it’s talking about the play style. Wolfpacking, caping with no sense (and not just in Era3) or the 5 same tanks in the sane team.m and not to talk about the ghost shells. Everybody it’s taking on that mtf** tank.
Two Wissel in each team will not impact the result of match but impact the game play. The problem is, game play in era 3 is just too childish now. Both those pisky tow will always Yolo from behind to me, no matter of what. It's not acceptable for era 3 which expected to give the best experience of playing the game.
Wolf packing is a symptom of the pace, slow the game down and that will go away to some extent. I covered ghost shells in my server video.
Sorry ERA 3 is the epitome of Pay To Win.
Premiums were originality to " help"
Players urn extra silver, training crews ect. Good enough to be competitive but not be DOMINANTING over the tanks people spend so much time and money grinding up the tech tree.
I've played for years, and quit. The absolute stupidity of the Weisel and the 447 gave me the incentive to spend my money els ware.
You're right! T8 Prem tanks were referred to as T7.5 way back in the day for a reason. Now we have prem tanks that are just better in every way!
i think the word you were looking for is "epitome"
@@Three60Mafia He said, "epitome" in the first line of his comment. Wtf are you on about?
Wiesel and 477 certainly lead heavily towards a pay to win experience.
Great video 👍🏻 I think Wargaming should work on the matchmaking… cause even in era on there’s no need of 5 light tanks on each team … the British fv lights are also annoying as the marders and weasels… ✌🏻
honestly, if you arent able to deal with those fv, ith might be a bit of a skill issue.
And i really mean no offence on that but i think they are quite ez to outplay
The Era1 FVs are good tanks but they can be beaten. I plan to cover that in the near future.
ERA 3 getting better as ex mi modern tanks have good armour speed and accurate guns. As long as you hit the sweet spots you will pen as in the real world. As to the weasel slow it down and remove its armour . Reality is you would never go head to head with real tanks , you would stand off.
I forget to put with guns cheers
I agree with you and yes this is not need for speed game and yes there is no tactic strategy no using head now game become arcade headless racing game
It needs to change 100%.
CW, which should have been a very nice game play moving up from WWII vehicles turned into a simple "yolo" fest after Era I. Touted as "artillery" free, at Era II you get to enjoy missiles up the tail pipes with just flat silly pen and damage. The player base just runs in packs, most going in one direction at ridiculous speeds with accuracy at 75 km that is no where possible.
Every missile in the game needs to be nerfed to 100 meter arming range, as most missiles are equipped so YOU do not blow your own silly ass up. Speed is fine as long as the maps are bigger and vehicles suffer more with true mechanics. You play the Wiesel and cut a corner at 80 km an hour, you roll over and over and die. Simple...
Reduce the pen by a third, damage by at least half, using real world mechanics, and it should sort itself out. Accuracy with these vehicles also needs to be looked at, these things are firing freaking lasers AND penning.
The largest wolf pack wins all the time. This is somewhat true in WW2 but is almost a “law” in CW. But “true vision” changes many dynamics. Somehow there must be a counter balance to the wolf pack. There must be a way to punish that, and I struggle to think of a way to do that. In WW2, TD’s sitting unseen will shred tanks bunched up together. We need a different dynamic to make the wolf pack a bad decision in certain situations.
If the tanks were made slower and had less HP the TDs would have time to reload and shred the Wolfpack. With the current speed and HP pool of a Wolfpack they just overrun TD’s before they can deter them.
@@markwalthew3374 Yeah. Very true. I’m not sure what the solution is other than to make the tanks deal more damage than currently. The HP in Cold War is very high, and the guns are not significantly better (damage wise) than WW2. I get that war gaming wants to keep it uniform, but higher alpha damage in general would create that deterrence, imo. When it takes four pens to send us to the garage, people would not be willing to rush in.
Never be as good as it was many years ago when I first played. I gave up with this game when I seen the direction it was going down
I do wish for the old days sometimes.
I follow your channel, and I do love this game I play mostly e3 because I prefer Modern tanks. But issues you discuss in e3 is hard for me to understand why they exist in the first place particularly the Wiesel, and how the premiums are invincible from the front, or how after all the time and coin investmened its seems okay to be one-shoted especially by one of these overpoweredmissiles. You mentioned they are listening but overall don't care.
Them seeming to not care is something they need to work on. There are people at WG that care but sometimes they shoot themselves in the foot.
The rat tank needs another speed nerf it’s still not far
Okay less speed but a 360° turret
Speed nerf for sure would bring it line with what it needs to be.
@@Rikitikitave but everyone is fast in era 3 and light tanks can easily hunt and put damage to the wiesel. And player like me payed a lot money for the stats WG gave the tank.
@@kriegerhain you say light tanks can early hunt and do damage. The in game evidence doesn’t support that. The Wiesel is an OP tank and it is toxic to Era 3. We all paid for it but at some point we have to think about the health of the game. Keep it as it is and Era 3 dies, change it and Era 3 has a future.
Don't worry guys Elden Ring DLC is almost out and it will bring more nightmares than a full life wiesel hopefully 😂
btw I love my wiesel
Me personally I think era 1 could be almost perfect if they would just remove the FV4005. Nothing worse than joining a lobby in your centurion 2 and seeing 5 of them on the other team
Yea the Cent II would struggle but HE is the Achilles heal of the 4005. I personally don’t have too much trouble with 4005s.
@@Rikitikitave yes granted. What gets me is when someone yolos you and takes most of your health. Which is really frustrating when you’re trying for four marks.
@@bane-980 Yes, that is annoying and does force you into a more passive play style for the rest of the game
WG could start from removing auto-aim and remove as well possibility of taking base after 2 minutes. That will be a good start. So no longer situation like you being auto-aim from a cross of the map or base being taken after 3 minutes by players with zero damage.
Taking base time should be at least 2 minutes when is being occupied by 3 opponents, 3 minutes for 2 players and 4 minutes for a single player.
The current requirement time is 30 sec 😂
I don't think they will ever remove a core mechanic to be honest. A solution will need to be found another way.
i'm already loving the nerfs on the Wiesel. it needs to be nerfed a bit more but I can already see changes. Wiesels are no longer coming 1st and 2nd in every game, and no longer always the last ones alive in the team. I have experienced some truly magical moments, in the last few days, where I have chased down and rammed a Wiesel to death or seen teammates do the same, and it has almost brought tears to my bloodshot, wiesel strained eyes.
Having said that though, I almost never play era 3. It's full of kids playing with daddy's credit card premium tanks. they play as kids do, guns blazing, fast as you can, and don't know where to go so just follow the guy in front of you and if it turns into a "demolition derby" race then so be it. I've died more from ramming in era 3 than from being shot.
I hear you, ram kills are great but first you need to catch them.
Tow missles can not fire acurate shots at short range. It need a few hundred meters to get the right info from tow line. I know it’s a game but that is arcade stuff.
The ATGMs need work, let's see what happens in the future.
Have you ever seen a tiny and agile tank like wiseel get fired?! How many times you see it? All my era 3 tanks has 10 percent fire rate, and they are in fire all the time, because they are big and has a bigger engine. This tiny tank's engines are just a pixel and impossible to hit. This should be nerfed significantly. the fire chance of this vehicles should be 20 percent and all their hull should be engine .
If Wissel and object 477 didn't allow to have have repair kit and any other equipment strengthing their track , then they will become much more balanced.
Unfortunately I can't see them making a change like this.
@@Rikitikitaveat least don't allow them to have advanced suspension. We can't track them now.
@@milad7764 Let's see what future changes come.
Can’t stand era1 because of the FV4005 sometimes 6 of them on one side! Fucks me off lol,should be in era2! I would play era1 if moved but I’m just gunna stick to era 2 as it won’t happen unfortunately😅.
HE my friend, 4005 is nothing with HE.
WG wanted/wants users to play CW over WWII mode for some reason. When it launched its selling points were NO Arty, Huge silver returns. What did WG do? Brought in silver Nerfs, brought in missiles that can be fired doing 100. Tank speed cross country has been a problem from day 1. I agree that Super Mario Kart is not a great model for a tank game. Era 1 is the only Era that resembles a tank game, unfortunately WG hasn't addressed the MM balance caused by Contract requirements. 7 plus FV4005's per side does not a recipe for a good game. Sadly.
No arty was a selling point, higher silver earnings was an unintentional side effect. It started well but over time certain areas have deteriorated.
@@Rikitikitave 100%, sadly. Keep up the good work mate.
It is and a new clow was added yesterday. Era2 are exactly the same. With that lgnis and begleitpanser running around now its just as bad as era3 if not worse

@@delseb5852Ignis is very OP. It ruined era 2. Almost every late game he steal all the kills from his teamate by his awsome gun and speed, and you think ignis is balance 😂

@@0-B1no, you jump into those rockets tanks and a fewe games later you hitting damage on +8k's with ease. Rockets just take way to mutch hitpoints. Really no tactical skill required.
atleast you can earn both of them
Stopped playing MA when they took away the Silver. It made it unbearable why work towards a broken era 3
I hear you
Ever since 6.0 wot has gone downhill for me
It really put the final nail in the casket.
Couldn’t agree more - sadly
6.0 was a huge turning point for many.
@@Rikitikitaveit completely changed the game, the WW2 mode still feels not right. Spotting mechanics, enemy visibility, spotted damage for example are not working properly.
@@joachimsassmann8824 I get what you mean. Things don't feel as streamlined or as smooth as they used to.
Just played a game in era 3,in Yorkshire map, and objects 477 A was sitting infront of all heavies, killed all of them one by one, and at then end he was full Hp.
I really don't know why people play era 3. For being Hp pool for this OP tanks?!
Noone can ram Wissel tow until when it doesn't matter in late game.
I hear you, I wonder why people play it too 😂
I play a few ERA 3 games just for the silver, then take the silver for WW2 tanks and equipment. WarGaming came up with ERA 3 with a speed problem, wolf pack playing and compounded the problem with OP premium tanks. ERA 3 doesn't even make sense, it's like playing tier 3 and seal clubbing new players back in the day, my POV.
@@bluerooster247the same for era 2. All I hear now is tagh tagh tagh from behind of my tanks now, and Fv4211 is always infront me. At lewst Fv4211 should not able to bounce from sides which happens 80 percent of the times for me.
In my opinion. Cold war should be more like warthunder. You shouldn't be taking 8+ pens to die, that's why people drive around with no care.
Take the kolobonov medal for instance, he couldn't have pulled that off if he had pen everything over half a dozen times.
Damage is too low in cold war and camo is too low. That's why there is no tactics.
Too sum it up, everyone should be doing high damage and have high camo ratings, make use of the effing true vision by ACTUALLY using your VISION. Lots of people wait around for someone to be spotted before they even do anything. Just play ww2 then.
Seems to me they want call of duty with tanks. Run and gun that's all it is anymore and it's horrible. Bad players cried the most and destroyed this game
COD with tanks does seem to be the vibe right now.
I enjoy speed of era 3 cw what i don't enjoy is the size of maps as they have never and i mean never truly put in work to make a good cold war map its about 1/3 size it should be needs city section and open part of map gor faster tanks really needs to jump from 15v15 to 20v20 or even 30v30 and double the hp of heavy tanks 1.5x hp of mediums and lights aling with td so you take 3-4 atgms to die trust me i hate hitting you with 2 missiles and not killing you as you are not worth the 3rd missike shot as your crippled on life support in a wheelchair already
Bigger maps might help.
So you want to make the game even more arcade like in cold war?. Okay then, give everyone 20 thousand health and lower the damage to 50. And give everyone infinite ammo. There i fixed it, the games will last longer now right 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
YOLO CHARGING players should try warthunder 😅
Me in my 2s38 and BMP-2M YOLO into position then Crush it I get crushed but then I'll bring out another 10.0 prem lol
I implore you to fire up the game with a new account and tell me they don’t teach new players the worst “tactics” possible from the beginning. That is what CW is completely based around and it’s 100% pure hot garbage!
Era 1 is good and fun to play in my opinion, I would just change FV4005 from Era 1 to Era 2
I've not played the recent new player experience, might be a good idea to do that though.
Era3 is still the hands down best Era in all of coldwar in my opinion but for the older community I could see the pace being too much!
To each their own.
ouch i am 52 and i have no problems with the pace of it but i know a lot of younger players that can't handle the pace of era 3 so its has nothing to do with age but the capablities of the individuals playing
@@MikeSmith-gx8jn Older players to the game as in people who are used to the slower pace of WWII.
Would love to see rocket artillery come to Cold War love arty lol 😄👍🏻
I wouldn't be against some kind of indirect fire.
They gotta remove auto aim. Enough is enough. It’s not 2013 anymore. It wouldn’t fully eliminate yoloing because people are dumb, but it will drastically reduce the amount of people doing it AND the effectiveness of it because people can’t just hit every shot and pen most of the time. People will actually have to aim and look for weak spots instead of just spamming gold rounds. Now people would think more tactically because they can’t yolo anymore because it’s not worth it and aiming shots while going 70kph is difficult and engaging. If auto aim stays in the game nothing will change. New maps won’t fix it, slowing the tanks won’t, adding more cover won’t help, and nerfing pen won’t either.
Might need you to clarify your stance but from what I can tell, if you're inclined to yolo, then you're not thinking tactically any way. Using auto aim feeds into the yolo game play but I don't see it being the cause.
@@Rikitikitavetrue lol, but if the yoloing isn’t effective and they’re doing even worse because they can’t easily hit every shot and pen most of them I’m sure there would be less. It would encourage people to get better at aiming and actually try aim and learn weak spots instead of relying on the training wheels. It may not be the only reason but I feel it’s the main reason yoloing is effective and awful. Take away the training wheels and people who yolo are just free xp piñatas
@@odeszaa I see your point. I learned in WW2 that auto lock doesn’t equal easy damage but in CW it does. I’d like to see CW become more knowledge based; like WW2.
Isn't it obvious? People yolo because they have to many health points as a cushion, especially light tanks. People wouldn't yolo as much if they all got dropped it 2-3 hits, hence why people like playing the fv4005, it drops people. in a platoon even more so.
That's why sometimes if games have many 4005's that don't yolo and all the yoloers get taken out, the game immediately slows way down.
I'm all for lowering everyones health points or increasing damage vastly. Except for already high damage tank obviously.
My opinion of course.
@@Rikitikitave I do too, wish the pace of the game slowed down to how it was years ago. I don't think anything will change and they'll never remove auto aim/lock
I think it's good that era 3 is fast, so it's not boring. I don't think you should touch it. the easiest way would be to increase the hit points to double or triple the games would certainly be longer. let there be a greater difference between the light and the heavy in the hit point
You're advocating power creep with that solution. I'd say be very careful about going down that road.
@@Rikitikitave but the solution is not to buy a premium tank that is good and then destroy it
It has to go one of two ways, power creep or a nerf, pick your poison.
@@Rikitikitave power creep😉 I always hate when they nerf a tank . Sorry we’re seeing it differently. I like challenges ,sometimes couple of f….words but this is the game.
@@lipingpong Trouble with power creep is the OP premium you bought today, i.e. the Wiesel, will be worthless in a years time due to more and more powerful premiums coming into the game. So either you choose to nerf now in the short term, or you nerf in the long term.
I've posted comments multiple videos. And I've messages wargaming multiple times but all u get is copy and paste replys. people are leaving the game Cause some of my good friends don't play this game who been playing since it started and I can't be bothered to ask them come back because of aspects to the game as of yet I'm not gonna Blame Em. Because wargaming of caused this and all the people who buy these tanks are just cheering them on. A good majority of the toxic non toxic players who play this game just use all these vehicles for farming silver xp kills and etc an ruining the enjoyment. I've just finished the grind for the Israel tanks and grinding that Line through era 2 an 3. Is extremely painful. I've free xp half of it Because it was just so painful constantly one shot. when you were in a stock tank when you have no way to combat. These premiums and tech tree tanks
I know it seems like I'm moaning at you Rikk, but for that I apologise, I'm only voicing my opinion, love the content.Keep it
I agree with you. Certain premiums make playing and grinding TT tanks too painful.
Sold all my era 3 tanks….never go back….absolute shite fest!!!
For now, let's see how things change.
They must delete ww2 game. CW are best part on tgis game🤩🤩
@@666kapu lol
I agree to an extent
Stop blowing smoke up their arse. Nothing will change just want to roll out crap premium tanks for money. Needs better servers and stop lag .
Dang, I don’t fancy going near anyones arse 😂
Better servers are a must though!
Some of your recommendations are quite good, but others don't reflect the accuracy of modern armored warfare. The pace and Thunder run tactics of Era 3 are very reflective of modern combat. And, quite frankly, is what those who play Modern Era enjoy. Also, I think it helps attract and keep younger players. Watch some videos of the Battle of 73 Easting, in which 9 Abrams destroyed 28 Iraqi tanks and 19 BMP in minutes using tactics reflected in the current Era 3 play. Modern Era shouldn't become WW2 version 2.0.
The game should be based on the actual vehicle's abilities. Modern tanks can move at speed and shot very accurately to 1000M+ ranges even cross country. A demo tape for the Leopard tank showed it driving cross country with a full beer on the end of the barrel to demonstrate its tube stability. A single shot can totally destroy a modern tank, and modern tank warfare is significantly more fast-paced and very different from WW2, which the game should reflect. However, the speeds should be adjusted for cross country, The Weasel should have it's hit points reduced to reflect reality. And, most of all Wargaming needs to double the size of Modern Era maps, and eliminate Capping in most games or have multiple caps to secure- thise changes would help alot.
I'm 74, retired Army Helicopter pilot, and have played a lot for over the last 15 months- daily for hours. I grinded through 15 WW2 tech lines and then went 100% to Modern Era. Because, even at my age I found WW2 slow.
As a relatively new player, I'd recommend that if Wargaming wants to keep more new players, it should stop it's +2/-2 play. It's just frustrates and demoralized new players and almost made me quit! I know business wise it drives premium tanks sales, but it has to be attrition that in the end decreases profits.
They need to adjust to what will work. You've mentioned 9 Abrams performing very well in a very unique environment under particular circumstance, not every tank on tank engagement in reality is that way. We can't have every game playing like that because it's not healthy.
@Rikitikitave The 73 Easting Battle wasn't a particularly unique action in the two Iraqi wars. The whole Allied battle plan depended on massed armor operating at high speed. That's fundamental how modern tank warfare works. Many Thunder Runs (massed high-speed tank missions) were conducted to cut off Iraqi forces and runs were even made to the center of Baghdad.
If the size of the maps were much larger then it would right size them for the speed and gun ranges of modern vehicles. Slowing down the vehicles and/or decreasing the gun targeting ranges would effectively make the Modern Era game just WW2 2.0, and that would cost Wargaming a lot of players who now enjoy Modern Era.
The clan I'm in has 75+ members with most having 5 plus years playing and many are super unicum players. One even started playing on the Beta version of the game. Most worked their way through WW2, so they have a broad range of experience. As a clan we only play Modern Er because they, like most Modern Era players enjoy the fast pace and relatively short games. However, all would like bigger maps to broaden the play and tactics used, but not slowing the vehicle speeds. I still play some WW2, but few clan members will join me as they say it's to slow and bores them.
What you see as unhealthy is what others see as fun and more reflective of modern armored tactics. Bigger maps would allow for the faster vehicles and drive play to be closer to reality, and more fun for WW2 players.
Thanks for videos, they're quite good.
I love the speed it’s modern meant to be fast plus high powered accurate guns lol if it’s too fast go back to ww2😂😂
If that's what floats your boat 👍🏼
The Top Tier Tanks are driving 70+ km/h, this is reality. If ERA 3 slows down, i will quit the game!!. For me biggest pest are atgm in superfast lights. This is the only reason what i realy hate. (sry for my bad english)
Holy cry babys!! 😂😂😂 Era 2 is worse than era 3. Dont play era 2 or 3 an stick to boring ww2 then. Ppl always crying an complaining WOW
I've spent grands on this game if they nerf even one of my premiums I payed real money for not time. I'll find a way to sue them no matter what small print they have saying they can. It's completely immoral doing such things. They should charge for them untill they are balanced then. It's not just the one tank I'll want refunding for I'll not want to play so I'll want every penny back. It's just wrong. Buff everything else don't nerf anything. Make maps twice as big. Give era 3 double HP. Make them all go 200mph. Make all invincible from the front I don't give a sh*t but don't ever nerf. I don't even play the molot or wissel but changing is just wrong. They made this mess why should we pay for it. They ruin their own game. Stop nerfing strong tanks and buff weak ones. Give us anti lockon perks. Give us better equipment. Change other things to make other tanks better.
Still enjoyed the video Rikki and agree it's really bad but they make them that good to sell them. They should just say we will give you a broken tank for 6 months. Enjoy it and then we need it . If you know what I mean. They have to make them stronger and stronger or they run out of ideas. I don't get why they started milking it coz for first 2 or 3 years hardly any new premiums came out.now it's every week so they have to make strong as they can only make so many new things like rockets. Turbo. Siege mode. Etc. after that nothing else is new so they make strong tanks. It should have never gotten out of hand mate tbh. Just stopping lock on will fix everything. Coz most can't snap on target. Aim on move etc. it will slow the game massively.
first you say that Wiesel is to blame for everything and now you say the problem is somewhere else, you will somehow decide what is wrong with you, although even without you I know what the problem is, I play every day and a lot
I don't recall saying the "Wiesel is to blame for everything."
Still crying about the Wiesel. Really?
I wouldn't say crying, pointing out flaws and areas that need improvement is what I'm here to do.
@@Rikitikitave they are not flaws. A lot of people enjoy this type of game play that Era 3 offers. Just because you or your minions don’t like it does not mean majority of community agrees with you and wants it changed. It’s best you go back to WW2 mode and stay there. No need to steer the pot in CW.
@@alexanderthegreat4952 you can have that opinion, a lot of people don’t enjoy this gameplay, I’m one of them so I’ll state that.
@@Rikitikitave like I said. Switch to WW2. No need to compare the two modes and brake CW.
@@alexanderthegreat4952 No breaking of CW here, improvement and refinement is the aim.
