I haven't played WoT in a long while. I miss it, but I won't come back because of it's current state. I still remeber when Murovanka had the "magic forest" where fools and lemings went to die. But it was hilarious.
someone in general chat got chat banned for saying "oxymoron". the entire general chat rushed in explaining to the mod what "oxymoron" means, since they clearly only saw the "moron" part. they proceeded to ban people trying to explain the word.
World of Tanks can be fun, but it's equally frustrating. The best part are the extended battles- WT is 1 shot simulator where armor never matters (unless you're uptiered yippee fun mechanic! )@@arias80rp10
You are wrong @@arias80rp10... WoT WAS good at some point.... I played this shit for 5 years, I went through the old and new. generations (xbox 360 and xbox one S), and I can say, the old generation was a thousand times better, the players were smarter, they used strategies, they knew the mechanics, and the game itself was much less P2W than on the new generation and PC

@AdBlock plus The problem is not that it has a shitton of survivability, because it doesn't - the problem is that it appears from thin air and goes faster than your turret could traverse to aim at it.
Man this game used to get me through the days and nights with the buddies trolling people with KV-2s and the ELC before they removed it, I tried to play it again recently and eh. It’s better in the memories. Shoot I remember when everyone used to make fun and universally hate gold ammo spammers. Now everyone spams it
Guys, for WG there is ONLY ONE balance in this game that really matters: It is the balance between "Squeezing out the most money" and "Keeping the frustration level just low enough that not too many players quit". That's it - nothing more, nothing less. Sorry to say that, but they don't give a shit about your wishes for a better gaming experience!!!
@@MagicMan508 thats true, but they want mo money, and doing a shit for the players. There are so many wrong things and they are not interested to fix it. And they earn a lot of money, believe me.
They should remove the camo and bounce mechanics entirely. I see you, you see me, I fire a round and hit it does dmg. This BS of firing premium 152mm ammo and bouncing medium tanks that suddenly vanish is utter retardation.
War Thunder: FL11 turret SA50 auto-clicker from 1954 in mid WWII br is cancer for an obvious and fixable reason that wont get moved because company scrips go brrr. WoT: completely butt pulled magic forest BS giving company license to never fix anything.
WOT gives me a sense that there is a hidden hand at work always, making me miss shots, or my team or the other team miss shots, or shots not doing much when they do hit or just the opposite depending on the hidden hand. I never get that same feeling in WT. Plus I don't see a lot of 1942 tanks fitting 1960's tanks or even 1950's tanks. A Tiger still has a powerful presence to it in WT that is totally lost in WOT. WOT has to many "magical items" you can equip that can make you tank invisible, or faster or shoot faster or hit harder or all that at once that only folks with the 29,000 battles have who aren't supposed to need them in their already OP tanks. With a team of 4 of them on one side the match is over in less than 5 min. Everyone has the same stuff in WT for the most part and it shows. The matches are much more of a even game and fun. When I first started playing WT and didn't know what was what I could at least see who was shooting me and where they were and could back up or something. In WOT my first game I was hit like five times and never saw a tank on the enemy side even on the mini map, I died in like 3 sec into the match my first tier 3 game.
well is an arcade Game and sometimes it's very unfair I got a op Tank with High level crew with events and it's quite op the tier X american I don't renbember the name is the one with the auto Leader gun
I wish warthunder had better MM. Just had an air RB match with 1 top tiet fighter, one .3 below and the rest -1. The Enemy team had 7 top-tier aircraft.
I just love how the EBR is universally hated by both WT and WoT. Is like the Itter Castle battle. edit: " Just wathcing the powerpuff girls intro made me think. War Thundar has EBRs and many dumb matchmakes. Now we know when WT will get worse people. " a whole year ago I said that now aged milk bag bruh💀
When every man and his dog had an EBR in War Thunder during the event it was a nightmare, but now you only see one from time to time and I rarely get killed by one. Same story when they put the Maus back in for a few days and currently with the PT-76-57.
I find that the EBR's in WT were just annoyingly fast rather than just straight broken to the point of making every other light in the game obsolete like how WoT has it.
@@dangernoodle8813 I play war thunder because it has a good aircraft mode and I though the aiming was less RNG. turns out the aiming is just a different kind of RNG. but at least there's no premium ammo. that sounds like a real good way to kill a player base. then again, another good way to kill a player base is to increase repair costs and reduce SL/RP gained by 30-50%. the only "right" choice is really just not to play.
@@stagiestpizza yea, the fucking repair cost is utterly, absolutely displeasing to say the least, literally, imagine having to pay 30k SLs just to repair a bomber,ffs and the economy is in shambles, hell, not even a few games could recover the SLs used in repairs, unless you pay for fucking premium and gaijin's attempt to "fix" the issue made it even worst.
I stopped playing this game years ago when weakspots disappeared. And what I left was World of Tanks Blitz, which doesn't have any artillery. I can't believe people are still giving Wargaming money for their terrible game.
@@chrisbruce5711 that's exactly what game I left to play. After 2 years of work, I have unlocked rank 1-4 of GER, USA, and USSR and I never plan to unlock anything higher than that. My rule is no vehicles whose development started after 1946. The game is incredibly fun now that I have finished my grind.
The problem is that in the past 5 years almost no updates were made to make the game more fun. All additions are there to: 1. Made the game more addictive (not enjoyable. Addictive.) 2. Make us pay more. All the mechanics are basically copy and paste from top grossing mobile free to play games. Daily missions, ranked battles, shorter game sessions because of EBRs, gold ammo and simplified tank models, casino Christmas boxes all have one on common - they make you return to the game more often and spend more cash.
Whenever I played WoT I would play the old campaign mode. I used to be good at the multiplayer but then the game became heavily pay to win and they removed the campaign. I never really played it after that.
@WarClock172 I didn't say I was bad at the game, did I?, I just got bored of playing the same gamemode for the past 6 years...Gaijin hasn't done anything but remove gamemodes and fuck up the balance while making the grind worse, but I bet your too young to remember old WT so it doesn't matter to you anyway.
@WarClock172 the grind has been continually getting worse over the course of years, what they are doing now is too little too late. war thunder just isnt what it used to be, and it's mostly the fault of shit balancing, and a ridiculously compressed BR which instead of fixing, they continue to make the problem worse by releasing a newer vehicle every few months or so, alongside a 60 (now 70) dollar premium, they're just lining their pockets now.
I remember playing WoT for years. From little games on my dad's laptop to my own games on the Xbox. I played for years.. and only ever got to the Hellcat on the American tree. The minute War Thunder, with its cool amphibious tanks and multiple turrets and planes and integrated air-ground combat, ported to Xbox I jumped ship. I don't regret a thing, except occasionally I do miss the atmosphere of so WoT maps, like the Scottish one(?) with the chasm in the middle and whichever one was dark, wet, bumpy and flat and had a castle in the dead centre.. I think it was French?
"No one will buy a premium that will be nerfed in the future" meanwhile War Thunder whales buying the Harrier GR.1 just for it to be nerfed 3 days after release
I like it too, only worrying thing is that it rewards those FV4005 scrubs that sit in base or a corridor for 10 minutes to get that one pen before theyre killed. With this idea they would never miss that one shot
@@holmes6171 but it makes sense...i mean a tank firing at another tank WITHIN 500 METERS wouldnt miss...especially with the speeds of the shells...1200 meters a second...and you fired at a target 250m away...that shell should be there literally as you fire...but with WoT using the reticle system it makes sense that the longer you aim the more accurate your shot will be...you rush the shot it's gonna miss...but has a chance to hit cuz you know...rng
@@holmes6171 That's extremely worth. Oh no, I just got slapped for 1750 damage, but now that tank is out of the game for twenty seconds. Makes it extremely vulnerable
It is cheap (in game money). Maybe that is problem for low levels, because if you want to upgrade tank to full faster, you will not use premium ammo, but on high levels you get much much more money for a game, than premium ammo cost. (Im talking about Blitz. Maybe in pc wot situation is different)
@@stepan777 i play both blitz and standard... it is different... on standard the cost of premium ammo varies wildly depending on the tank and tier level... ive seen it as low as 2k all the way up to 20k so it just varies on what patch were in and what not
The chat with enemy was the best part. "Be gentle" when one guy was left against 8 and about be abused. We would reply "Lube up" Or we would arrange 1v1 in game when the abuse between two players got salty. lol
same many years ago for me, all it does is give you anxiety and Possibly a high blood pressure stroke. the older you get this game should be relayed as a health risk.
I left the game as soon as the Chrysler GF was added into the game, that was the tipping point of the game going bad. Before that we had balanced premiums, at least most of them. The MM was flooded with a tank that had 175mm of pen with standard rounds and 250-ish with premium rounds. All while you can easily side scrape and have 300+ effective armor
I used to enjoy this game a lot back in 2013/14, thought I'd give it a try again after all these years. _Left after 2 days_ A shame they had to ruin it. Even youtube knows this, so it gave me a warthunder ad on this video.
@@topace1038 Yeah, I know. I've been playing wt air ab/rb for a good while, as well as a little bit of ground rb. It has issues, but a lot of them you can get past if you don't sell your soul to the grind and just enjoy the gameplay. _(Except for packet loss, that's something you can't fix yourself.)_
I played the game seriously 2011-2013, I got bad every so often for reminders why I quit. Back then lead developer was SerB, kind of glaring how bad it went downhill when he left.
I'm F2P, never paid for a game or made serious ingame purchase. After few years of playing and way too many matches i reached tier X. In WT i got to top tier in 3k matches, and costs of tanks wasnt serious issue. While grinding i could save a lot of money. Thats fundamental mistake in WOT. You need to use premium ammo to pen a lot meta tanks and you lose big amount of money, even before buying tank you wanted.
Yeah, the rng with accuracy is something I have beef with. I thought that once I got the most accurate gun in the game all of that would be behind me. I was proven wrong when trying to save a team mate from an M103 in my Grille 15. It's true that I never missed a shot on the M103 since all of the tank covered the outer aiming circle. I could not miss, but the game still found places for every single one of my shots to bounce... off an M103. It wasn't until the M103 beat my team mate that the game finally allowed my shots to go where I was aiming. "Thanks game, but it's too late. I've lost my spotter and I am not going to win against this guy once he get's to me." I wish the game gave me that kind of protection. "Go ahead, do as you please. You are untouchable in this match. I'm gonna fling the rounds of every opposing player absolutely everywhere." I am absolutely convinced that the game has decided which team will win as soon as it has put the teams together, and only every once in a while are you ever able to overcome the game's planning.
Definitely true. I've had matches where I missed every single one of my shots, even fully aimed and on a part of the tank I could pen. This doesn't happen on blitz for me though, and that's why I like it. Sure there's bad RNG moments too, but it doesn't feel like it was decided like it is in wot pc. And generally, wotb is more fun imo
My coment egzaqly, l sad in blic premium delas less damidge, and nobody is complayning, and l didnt even now that in wot premijum shels deals same damedge, cud not belive it.
Right because it’s perfectly reasonable. Making premium deal the same damage just makes it very obviously pay to win. They can obviously have tanks like the 113 which have I suppose more HEAT damage, but then it also has downsides with traverse, accuracy, and armour on gen hull.
Yes, it does, and we also have prammo downsides, like HEAT splashing on tracks or not going through obstacles, APCR losing pen over distances and etc. Also WoT Blitz uses tank hitskins, and you are actively encouraged to aim for cupolas or weakspots, like the Chieftan's cupola, VK45B's turret cheeks, Chimera's cupola, etc etc. That and the lack of arty and impennable tanks make me enjoy Blitz over PC
but we still have weakspots on most tanks. like the only thing thats broken is the vk90 and the tier10 Amx m4 but they are rare af anyways. I only shoot gold in my lights and sometimes mediums
I was both a beta tester for WoT and WT. the biggest beef I had with WoT was the invisible tanks. if you play it, you know. INFURIATING. looking at an enemy well away and all of a sudden he just goes *pop* gone. invisible. ridiculous. don't have to deal with that in WT.

Hit the nail on the head regarding “fun” tanks. I was horrified when they removed the auto loaders from the Chinese lights, and stopped me killing tier 10s with my su-5 or cruiser 2 in “troll” platoons
They also nerfed luchs and leopard 3cm machine gun, they nerfed KV2 by HE rebalance an sherman jumbo, they fucked VK30.01P by making it heavy.WG just keeps destrying fun tanks that make this game tolerable after grinding some shity lines or tryharding in tier 10 i just want to break out some fun tanks to play once in a while ffs.
About maps: I feel like a few years ago when everyone complained Wargaming was just doing corridor maps, games were decided as soon as one of the corridors had been broken and the winning people from there surrounded the other corridors. Nowadays I feel like the pushing sides are death traps. Time and time again one side wins the engagement and then continues to push forward, just to be shot to pieces from a campy hill or bush location. Basically what I see most experienced people do is once they've won one flank they turn around to help the other side or base defense. Only the foolish players keep going and that creates those countless games where the main engagement was won and then a turnaround into a loss happened.
Yep, exactly. This is also one reason why mediums rule the game and heavies are pointless now. You have to have speed to go support the other flank, and most heavies can't do that.
@@TehButterflyEffect i could usually determine a win or loss just by checking how many meds/lights the other team has. if your meds win you basically win the game, unless they go full retard after winning on the med side.
@@basketcase1235 Yeah, and a lot of meds are a lot more powerful than others. The UDES, the TVP50/51, Obj. 430, and a bunch of premium or rewards are so much more powerful than anything else. If one side has them and yours doesn't, you lose.

@@thunderball11111 still overall gameplay and balance was better back then. Long an close games were a regular thing. You didn't have to memorize the armor models and view ranges of a million different tanks and every tank had strengths and weaknesses
@@thunderball11111 Well yes, mechanically I agree, obviously, we have physics and HD models now and the game looks a lot better. Regarding the fundamental gameplay tho, I disagree. Less tanks means everyone is more familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of each tank, every tank had frontal weakspots and maybe not the low tiers, but the high tiers were ballanced. Exactly the opposite of what it is today. There are so many items, gadgets and unneccessary tanks in the game, you simply cannot have everything in your head anymore.
I like your idea for buffing the losing team. In order to make this fair to the winning team, I propose that the experience/credits score muliplier of win>loss be changed to: win against buff>close win (no buffs)>win with buff>loss against buff>close loss (no buffs)>loss with buff. Also, any damage/kills caused directly by a buff (e.g. airstrike) should not add to a player's personal score. Therefore a player might refuse a buff if he thinks he can win without it.
@@gianurwiler5098 destruction 100. But to answer your question, they exist in world of planes, one of the shittiest arcade plane flying bullshit ever made, literally you can get better plane games on you mobile than that garbage.
One of the reasons all chat got removed was because dead players would just tell the enemy team the position of their allies. For me, a solution to this would be to make dead players have their own chat, and be muted to players still in the game.
An event where all players are artillery and they must capture multiple points without the enemy knowing. Two in each team must relay the capture point to the other team.
I think I jumped the wot ship when WT introduced ground forces. Especially with being able to knock out people in one shot, and the fact that even lower tier vehicles still have a fighting chance because chances to cause spalling/over pressure against a higher BR vehicle. Learning weak spots was and is still important but situational awareness and being the first to fire means more and idiot higher tiers can’t just fall back on their better armor and larger hp pool. Also had a shitty 2005 giant dell laptop that gave 10 FPS and 100-300 ping depending so it often ended in me getting killed as soon as I ended up in a fight and that action caused lag. So I have a shit w/d % of 46-48%.

I stopped playing tanks when warships came out and have tried to jump on maybe three times to see if it changed and it has for the worse. They took the fact that a good arty player could either do decent damage or counter battery off the start and just made them a support unit to track people without doing much damage. Sorry, if you get hit by a 240mm shell, you are dead. It doesn't matter what tank you are in because that is coming down on the lightest armored portion of a tank. Take that along with the fact that gold rounds basically destroyed any amount of armor a tank had and the game failed its' players.
@@Danthrax81 Well, WoWS is adding in stupid things that take away from how the game was built to be played. A cruiser should be sitting near an island, close enough to help the DDs but safe enough that they won't get hit badly by BBs. With all the aircraft modded ships (Ise, Tone, Kersearge, entire new cruiser line, etc.), they have removed that type of play. So now your cruisers need to be in open water to stay semi safe, which means they can't safely be close to the DDs to provide help and instead need to stay near the back by the BBs. The winning team will now be determined by who has the better DD player and that is it.
actually in wt, for ammo that comes from modifications you have to play for that modification, and shooting those rounds in game still have a price, just at a lower price only the default ammo is free
@@derpking3970 Premium ammo in WoT does not cost premium money (gold is the equivalent to golden eagles) since ~2012. Funnily enough WT has the exact same premium as WoT. They just don't state it quite as obviously and it's less important as shells costs are less in general and repairs higher.
@@racernatorde5318 You can EASILY grind MILLIONS of SL without premiums OR a premium account in War Thunder planes tier 3/4. Your performance ingame heavily impacts your gaining money aswell. In WoT, making millions of silver while not having a premium account and a premium tank is absolutely impossible. That's the main difference. Repair costs don't matter when you can make 40-50k SL in a single match in War Thunder by being good without a premium / premium vehicle. I have played both games and F2P WoT is so insanely difficult in comparison to War Thunder, I'm an average player wo premium whatsoever and NEVER struggled with Silver Lions in WT. Same cannot be said for WoT if I wanted to perform on the top 25% of the match. Loading gold 1/2 of the time was almost required to do consistently good in-game, which is a damn shame, as WoT would be an amazing game if these issues wouldnt be present.

@@kyleplatter8954 They added the VIDAR at 7.7 a premium howitzer in Sweden that fires ever 8 seconds by default, has generation 1 thermals (after nerfing it down from generation 2 thermals) a turret slew of 16~ degrees a second, top reverse acceleration of -38km/h which it reaches in under 5 seconds, it can aim straight up, it has VT-fuze shots for killing helicopters and planes (will often see people with gamepad aim lock and cheats using it to plink planes 3km away from the battlefield) I bought it yesterday to make sure I wasn't tripping and you can easily go 8 kills 0 deaths in it at 9.3 BR. They didnt decompress any BRs at all, they moved a ton of 7.7 vehicles that didnt need to move, to 8.0 and 8.3. In a plane you are still likely to encounter next generation fighter jets and sometimes two generations ahead fighter jets against your supersonic jet that doesnt have any missiles or radar or counter measures at all, but this is somehow fair and balanced gameplay. When you see people flying premium mirages that can reach the enemy bases before the enemy themselves finishes passing over the bases, there is no balance in your BR. I genuinely believe that the USSR tanks that all got moved up .4 or .3 in BR was to stop them being able to kill the Maus. Ever since they added a few newer tanks to the USSR with better penetration, I see Maus' often getting destroyed quickly rather than soaking up all the APHE. Now it's back to how the Maus _was_ where it soaks up APHE and HEAT because only a very few tanks from _some_ nations get APFSDS at that BR.
As someone that used to play War Thunder and watch the Mighty Jingles play Wot, I'm so happy I left this gaming genre. These games are literally designed to be so miserable you feel forced to spend money.
This video hit spot on. This highlighted the things I miss from back when I played more actively before all the autoloader/reloader meta. The removal of weak spots with the penetration indicator actually telling you the actual thickness instead of just raw value. It means people don't even have to guess if somebody is over-angling or not, they can just wait for the green marker and boom.

War Thunder's grind is not nearly as bad as WoT's other than the fact that you have to create lineups (meaning you complete the whole tech tree instead of just one line). You can research any tank with any vehicle in any lineup. The same goes for premiums. It's just made better by the fact that you can respawn and get more XP (or RP) per battle.
leets add OP plane with epic climbing speed, 4 unlimited G missiles and put it against low rank jets, make peoples buy it, put it at almost top tier few days after. Profit.
You should have mentioned the constant speed increase in the unbalanced team's list as a reason. They not only overbuff tanks in terms of guns, they did increase the speed of even heavies and TD's troughout the years...I remember how freaking slow the KV tanks were...Even the KV-3...It was a pain to drive and turn, but you HAD time to play... This applies to any tanks. A quick fix would be like 30% nerf of all tanks. Another reason that the battles are fast and everybody pushing like crazy is the reusable consumables. In the past players were careful because if you wasn't you got a punch for no reason and were forced to play the whole rest of the battle with a broken engine, or broken gun. Yet another reason is making credit farming crazy easy with all the boosts and stuff. You can increase your credit income with fancier prem. tanks, events + boosters + clan boosters + platoons. This also encourages all and everyone to load gold and we already made a whole cyrcle. On the other hand we shouldn't think quick winning teams in games shouldn't be allowed and encountered somehow if that happends...It's part of the game. What WG should do is balance the tanks, their speeds, pen, damage, the maps, their game...That would prevent that...It worked in the past so what are we really talking about? Anyways nice points!
i perfer the enlisted pure balance of ok everyone can be shot dead by about the same number of rounds each your tanks are still both vunerable against litterally any AT infantry player and in enlisted its just ok we push hard we lose guys respawn have a human wave
Just remove premium shells so players actually use their brains to play instead of just spamming shells and penetrating everything. F2p players like me will instantly join back
premium shells are fine but they need drawbacks. Just like armor needs drawbacks and dpm need drawbacks. Currently its out of whack. Its not even premium anymore since its paid for by excess silver
@@XHitsugaX Yep so-called "premium" shells (even though they are not really premium anymore) need drawbacks like lower damage. Also HEAT should do more damage against lighter armored targets and APCR could do actually less damage against lighter armored targets. But in general i think that WG needs to do a major damage system overhaul, since its same as it was during the launch.
then you need to adress alot of overpowered tanks in order to remove the "gold"Shells, the main Reasons many started to use Gold ammo or atleast have some, is not because ppl using or not using their brains, when their are few overpowerd "Sovjet" tanks "mostly" vs historical tanks, whom some have been nerfed like Tiger I as an exampel, doesn t matter if I use the historical or the long barrel 88 on the Tiger I, I will still have a frustraded & Salty MM, but loading some Gold Shells that will pen or do some damage to bigger or newer overpowerd tanks... then its win-win, you get to roll in you Overpowered tank, while I still roll in my Old Tiger I & able to get your ass anyway, even if it cost me some from my wallet. it doesn t matter, Wargaming only care about making Money, Yes they listen to the Comunity Contribituers, but They get the final Say... & as many Game Devs these days is " making crap ton of Money or less ton of Money? what do you think they will do? make overpowered tanks & add gold ammo & premium tanks = tons of cash.
Removing team damage sucks, for fun reasons but also when you hug an enemy and everyone just fires anyway. Before people would be way more careful now arty and everything just spams anyway. I miss all chat. The troll and rage was so fun.
@@LukeEvans55 I remember being banned for more than a year, i was so happy when they turned it off. Anyway maybe it was better for my nerves to be banned and not being able to play it.
Turning off the chat is the best thing ever added to this game. It should be added to every game so you don’t have to read all those insults. Never important is said in the chat anyway
All chat and Overpowered AP and HE arty shells were the best... I still remember the day I used my tier 8 german arty 2000 (1500-2500) HE damage shell to oneshot a full hp tier 10 Type 57 heavy (2250 damage, got quite good RNG). Everybody was incredibly disgusted when it happened, both allies and enemies :D
there was several, gold ammo possible to buy by credits changed mm arty nerf the problem is that community wants changes but every change is bad cuz everybody have the personal best solutions
one of the weirdest moments I have had in wot was when I shot from like 400m away to a tank driving sideways and the shell landed about 50m short and I still damaged it. I even asked the guy for the replay and on both of our screens it wasn't even close
Hello from CIS segment Some people from our clanwars-community know the EXACT person who balanced the 10th-tier Chieftan. It's Continental_Atlantic [WG], formerly one of the clan leaders. Wargaming hired this degenarate for some unknown reason to make clanwars better and they managed to give him an opportunity to balance a Chieftan as a prize tank. Thus, it has become his favorite tank (5622 battles and 4k average damage vs B-C 25 t with 1916 battles and 2400 average damage at 2nd place). In fact, he made up a tank for himself and now all community all over the world suffers.
The way accuracy I’m WoT is mind boggling in how poorly thought out it is. I remember the Panther being an extremely frustrating tank to play simply because RNG would constantly screw me over as what was supposed to be an extremely accurate gun would always hit to the very edge of the reticle while the gun itself was extremely mediocre in damage. A lovely combination of rarely hitting and then doing a pitiful amount of damage when it did hit and pen. I remember by the end of playing that thing I just shoved the 105 gun in and played it like a very weird and mobile derp tank.

@MikoDnst how and where does one sell their account?? You've got my interest PEAKED and I'm so done with WoT...however, I've got over 100 premium tanks from loot boxes and being stupid and snatching up the next new shiney tank. So now I feel obligated to play as I've put way too much money into this in 11 months time, between all of the repeated gold purchases and tanks I realized I was over 8K, I'm still killing myself daily over that, and so am very curious how to sell the account and where, I can't just walk away from a Money Stack....
@@dastardlyzfiend I sold my account on a local eBay analog in my country (OLX), but I was able to do that only because the site allows it, and because former soviet countries, mine included, have a big player base in both WoT and WoT Blitz, so it's not difficult to find an interested person. But in other regions (Europe, US, Asia, etc) WoT isn't so popular, so less people will want to buy the account. Also Europe and US have much stricter copyright laws enforcement, so sites like eBay may not allow selling like that
@@vadencium1615 yes for AP but when you are bottom tier vs tier 8 AP is not an option.... The KV2 can't barely scratch now with HE, is totally unfun and useless
KV2 with HE still does Papa Stalin proud, its all about the MM & Teamplay when you roll out with that Beast! have had both crap & Amazing Moments with KV2 :)
Well if you still want to use the KV-2 HE AND potentially one shot a tank you hit square on the mantlet because Haha HE go brrrr. Play Warthunder my friend, I've been doing that up against Tiger II's and by god is it fun to take out such big game with the derpiest of derp guns XD
I came back to WOT after years of a break. I remember, when driving from a hill, you had to raise your turret up not to damage it. Not anymore. Also, the weak points of tanks are now very limited, basic really. I am pretty disappointed how limited it got, but it's still a great game. Also, I guit the game, because of people spamming golden ammo, which I found annoying.
I literally played this shit on console from 2013-2019 and its honestly depressing to see how far it’s fallen. I’m glad I left though, it started to take a serious toll on my mental state lmao.
I stopped and started playing the game few times. But the last time i left is for good. I have 0 intention to go back to WG. Loved the game once, and trully hate it now.
I was on console since the invitational beta. My four friends that played WoTC with me all quit not long after the mercenary tanks. We all moved to WoWS Legends, but WG being WG, they're slowly ruining it too. World of hyperbuffed Yamato, Worcester, Shimakaze, and Conqueror.
@@ussliberty109 I left pretty much all Wargaming games and went to War Thunder instead. Other than Naval, I’m having a much better time with WT than all of Wargaming’s products.
@@williewilson2250 ah right. Forgot about that one. Yeah it's a cold war tank so it has lol pen magic bullshit rounds that rip through anything made before 1946.
I used to play WoT a lot back when tanks had weakspots and it was glorious. You had to judge the angle, angle yourself perfectly, cover or move your weakspots, when 2 heavies met, inferior cannon didn't mean a loss, because you could actually f.e. ram and facehug the guy. I remember epic E-75 vs IS-4 duels (when IS-4 was rank IX) and general FUN. Buffing armor and removing weakspots was actually horrible because all of the sudden, as you mentioned, several scenarios REQUIRED gold to have any chance. Then came rank X tank destroyers that dismantled the armor meta with ridiculous penetration and alpha damage, WG introduced tanks with v. small weakspots that produced random results and the power creep... I remember scoring 12k damage in one match in (can't remember) rank IX or X Waffentrager that was utterly broken when introduced. Ehhh.... Also I remember we were swearing like hell and having fun, and we were getting chat banns once in a while, but it was all fun. Team damage was a thing and... it was no issue, really. Good old times.
I also don't like this: everybody plays hull down, behind a building, and when I with my type 5 go through the front take all shots from enemies and give my team opportunity to go with me and damage them I get shit. Reward player's that don't wanna play like scared babys
WG's decision to keep defending prem ammo as being "balanced" while at the same time making it the only viable ammo at all, and the addition of broken prems is what got me to quit about 1.5 years ago, and I have not regretted it for a single day. I only played WoWs after that untill they started doing the same with Carriers and soon Submarines. I can safely say I am glad I quit WG games, I feel far less frustrated playing games these days. Oh btw, No I don't play WT and will not play THAT disaster ever again, cuz not even WoT is that bad an RNG fest. No hp? Fine. Getting killed by a triple richoted '50 cal round thru the drivers top? Apperently also fine and historically accurate. KEKW
Still have 14,000 gold on WOT for 5 hears now. They won't let me switch it to world of ships. So it just sits there since i stopped playing. I fear ships is going in a similar direction as well.
If u fight a type5 heavy with a s conq head on you deserve to lose(thats kind of the point super heavy vs mobile heavy), a s conq has so much more which a type 5 doesnt have, speed, turning speed etc. Heavies are no heavies anymore everyone can pen a type 5 heavy if you shoot prem there is not point in playing type 5 at all if prem ammo doesnt get nerfed.
ya it was a pretty bad comparison lol. even if the s conq were to shoot shells that did less damage it wouldn't change the fact that the s conq is still a vastly superior tank over a type 5.
True a 1v1 comparison doesn’t make much sense I think there needs to be a combination of pen and dmg nerf, credits isn’t enough of a drawback to shooting prem and making the pen significantly worse defeats the premium ammo purpose, it makes more sense to have 5-10%less dpm.
@@semperfi2014mn yea, i have no clue how he thought this was a good comparison. What S conq face to face fights a Type 5. It just doesnt happen. Nor does a m6 straight up 1v1 a 252u solo and even with gold, that would be stupid and always end in a lose.
Yeah definitely agree with you. The whole point of superheavies are to be able to have that all round survivebility, this comparison is like saying the violin can’t play as low as the cello so it sucks.
Yes sitting there aiming for 10 seconds in a KV2 only to miss the weakspot and hit the turret roof is pure pain (I am a wotb player in which cupolas and lower plates are almost always weakspots) you could say just to use HE but that's just not enough because lets say a KV1S is showing me his turret i will probably just hit him for 290 while he hits me back for 400. and that absolutely ruins my DPM while he can just kill me with 2 more shots because he has lesser DPM but i have a high potential DPM but low actual DPM
14:19 the example there is a bit off imo, because if your in a E100 and you got HEAT on a 279e, on flat ground, your shooting down on him cause the E100 is taller, so the chances of penning become much higher, ive checked in tanks.gg as well. Good points for everything else though, and fuck arty.

WOT gives me a sense that there is a hidden hand at work always, making me miss shots, or my team or the other team miss shots, or shots not doing much when they do hit or just the opposite depending on the hidden hand. I never get that same feeling in WT. Plus I don't see a lot of 1942 tanks fitting 1960's tanks or even 1950's tanks. A Tiger still has a powerful presence to it in WT that is totally lost in WOT. WOT has to many "magical items" you can equip that can make you tank invisible, or faster or shoot faster or hit harder or all that at once that only folks with the 29,000 battles have who aren't supposed to need them in their already OP tanks. With a team of 4 of them on one side the match is over in less than 5 min. Everyone has the same stuff in WT for the most part and it shows. The matches are much more of a even game and fun. When I first started playing WT and didn't know what was what I could at least see who was shooting me and where they were and could back up or something. In WOT my first game I was hit like five times and never saw a tank on the enemy side even on the mini map, I died in like 3 sec into the match my first tier 3 game.

There are lots of stuped people in this world. Like the ones that will keep paying wg no matter how much they ruin the game.
The problem is that in the past 5 years almost no updates were made to make the game more fun. All additions are there to:
1. Made the game more addictive (not enjoyable. Addictive.)
2. Make us pay more.
All the mechanics are basically copy and paste from top grossing mobile free to play games. Daily missions, ranked battles, shorter game sessions because of EBRs, gold ammo and simplified tank models, casino Christmas boxes all have one on common - they make you return to the game more often and spend more cash.
Whenever I played WoT I would play the old campaign mode. I used to be good at the multiplayer but then the game became heavily pay to win and they removed the campaign. I never really played it after that.

war thunder just isnt what it used to be, and it's mostly the fault of shit balancing, and a ridiculously compressed BR which instead of fixing, they continue to make the problem worse by releasing a newer vehicle every few months or so, alongside a 60 (now 70) dollar premium, they're just lining their pockets now.

The fact premium ammo exists in world of tanks tells me all I need to know. It's literally pay to win.
You can be free to play and still use ”premium ammo” though. It just costs much more credits to fire one of those shells
its pay for with silver an in game currency anyone can get by playing the game... it used to cost gold... real world money
It is cheap (in game money). Maybe that is problem for low levels, because if you want to upgrade tank to full faster, you will not use premium ammo, but on high levels you get much much more money for a game, than premium ammo cost.
(Im talking about Blitz. Maybe in pc wot situation is different)
@@stepan777 i play both blitz and standard... it is different... on standard the cost of premium ammo varies wildly depending on the tank and tier level... ive seen it as low as 2k all the way up to 20k so it just varies on what patch were in and what not

I quit right as the wheeled lights were coming out.
@@gnot_paul good timing
Yeah me too
I left the game as soon as the Chrysler GF was added into the game, that was the tipping point of the game going bad. Before that we had balanced premiums, at least most of them. The MM was flooded with a tank that had 175mm of pen with standard rounds and 250-ish with premium rounds. All while you can easily side scrape and have 300+ effective armor
I used to enjoy this game a lot back in 2013/14, thought I'd give it a try again after all these years. _Left after 2 days_

I'm F2P, never paid for a game or made serious ingame purchase. After few years of playing and way too many matches i reached tier X. In WT i got to top tier in 3k matches, and costs of tanks wasnt serious issue. While grinding i could save a lot of money.
Thats fundamental mistake in WOT.
You need to use premium ammo to pen a lot meta tanks and you lose big amount of money, even before buying tank you wanted.
Yeah, the rng with accuracy is something I have beef with. I thought that once I got the most accurate gun in the game all of that would be behind me. I was proven wrong when trying to save a team mate from an M103 in my Grille 15. It's true that I never missed a shot on the M103 since all of the tank covered the outer aiming circle. I could not miss, but the game still found places for every single one of my shots to bounce... off an M103.
It wasn't until the M103 beat my team mate that the game finally allowed my shots to go where I was aiming. "Thanks game, but it's too late. I've lost my spotter and I am not going to win against this guy once he get's to me." I wish the game gave me that kind of protection.
"Go ahead, do as you please. You are untouchable in this match. I'm gonna fling the rounds of every opposing player absolutely everywhere."
I am absolutely convinced that the game has decided which team will win as soon as it has put the teams together, and only every once in a while are you ever able to overcome the game's planning.
Definitely true. I've had matches where I missed every single one of my shots, even fully aimed and on a part of the tank I could pen.
This doesn't happen on blitz for me though, and that's why I like it. Sure there's bad RNG moments too, but it doesn't feel like it was decided like it is in wot pc. And generally, wotb is more fun imo
You're right, anytime when my team loses 5:15 or even 1:15 I'm not able to hit anything even on full aim. RNG should be redone.
WT is just as bad, honestly. Especially in low-mid ranks.

-15% damage for premium rounds works fine in WOT Blitz.
My coment egzaqly, l sad in blic premium delas less damidge, and nobody is complayning, and l didnt even now that in wot premijum shels deals same damedge, cud not belive it.
Right because it’s perfectly reasonable. Making premium deal the same damage just makes it very obviously pay to win. They can obviously have tanks like the 113 which have I suppose more HEAT damage, but then it also has downsides with traverse, accuracy, and armour on gen hull.
Yes, it does, and we also have prammo downsides, like HEAT splashing on tracks or not going through obstacles, APCR losing pen over distances and etc.
Also WoT Blitz uses tank hitskins, and you are actively encouraged to aim for cupolas or weakspots, like the Chieftan's cupola, VK45B's turret cheeks, Chimera's cupola, etc etc. That and the lack of arty and impennable tanks make me enjoy Blitz over PC
but we still have weakspots on most tanks. like the only thing thats broken is the vk90 and the tier10 Amx m4 but they are rare af anyways. I only shoot gold in my lights and sometimes mediums
@@vojspetar3796 now that is some english

Hit the nail on the head regarding “fun” tanks. I was horrified when they removed the auto loaders from the Chinese lights, and stopped me killing tier 10s with my su-5 or cruiser 2 in “troll” platoons
They also nerfed luchs and leopard 3cm machine gun, they nerfed KV2 by HE rebalance an sherman jumbo, they fucked VK30.01P by making it heavy.WG just keeps destrying fun tanks that make this game tolerable after grinding some shity lines or tryharding in tier 10 i just want to break out some fun tanks to play once in a while ffs.
About maps: I feel like a few years ago when everyone complained Wargaming was just doing corridor maps, games were decided as soon as one of the corridors had been broken and the winning people from there surrounded the other corridors. Nowadays I feel like the pushing sides are death traps. Time and time again one side wins the engagement and then continues to push forward, just to be shot to pieces from a campy hill or bush location. Basically what I see most experienced people do is once they've won one flank they turn around to help the other side or base defense. Only the foolish players keep going and that creates those countless games where the main engagement was won and then a turnaround into a loss happened.
Yep, exactly. This is also one reason why mediums rule the game and heavies are pointless now. You have to have speed to go support the other flank, and most heavies can't do that.
@@TehButterflyEffect i could usually determine a win or loss just by checking how many meds/lights the other team has. if your meds win you basically win the game, unless they go full retard after winning on the med side.
@@basketcase1235 Yeah, and a lot of meds are a lot more powerful than others. The UDES, the TVP50/51, Obj. 430, and a bunch of premium or rewards are so much more powerful than anything else. If one side has them and yours doesn't, you lose.

@@thunderball11111 still overall gameplay and balance was better back then. Long an close games were a regular thing. You didn't have to memorize the armor models and view ranges of a million different tanks and every tank had strengths and weaknesses

@@thunderball11111 Well yes, mechanically I agree, obviously, we have physics and HD models now and the game looks a lot better. Regarding the fundamental gameplay tho, I disagree. Less tanks means everyone is more familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of each tank, every tank had frontal weakspots and maybe not the low tiers, but the high tiers were ballanced. Exactly the opposite of what it is today. There are so many items, gadgets and unneccessary tanks in the game, you simply cannot have everything in your head anymore.

win against buff>close win (no buffs)>win with buff>loss against buff>close loss (no buffs)>loss with buff.
Also, any damage/kills caused directly by a buff (e.g. airstrike) should not add to a player's personal score. Therefore a player might refuse a buff if he thinks he can win without it.

Especially with being able to knock out people in one shot, and the fact that even lower tier vehicles still have a fighting chance because chances to cause spalling/over pressure against a higher BR vehicle.

They took the fact that a good arty player could either do decent damage or counter battery off the start and just made them a support unit to track people without doing much damage. Sorry, if you get hit by a 240mm shell, you are dead. It doesn't matter what tank you are in because that is coming down on the lightest armored portion of a tank. Take that along with the fact that gold rounds basically destroyed any amount of armor a tank had and the game failed its' players.

@@Danthrax81 Well, WoWS is adding in stupid things that take away from how the game was built to be played. A cruiser should be sitting near an island, close enough to help the DDs but safe enough that they won't get hit badly by BBs. With all the aircraft modded ships (Ise, Tone, Kersearge, entire new cruiser line, etc.), they have removed that type of play. So now your cruisers need to be in open water to stay semi safe, which means they can't safely be close to the DDs to provide help and instead need to stay near the back by the BBs. The winning team will now be determined by who has the better DD player and that is it.

Repair costs don't matter when you can make 40-50k SL in a single match in War Thunder by being good without a premium / premium vehicle. I have played both games and F2P WoT is so insanely difficult in comparison to War Thunder, I'm an average player wo premium whatsoever and NEVER struggled with Silver Lions in WT.

When you see people flying premium mirages that can reach the enemy bases before the enemy themselves finishes passing over the bases, there is no balance in your BR.
I genuinely believe that the USSR tanks that all got moved up .4 or .3 in BR was to stop them being able to kill the Maus. Ever since they added a few newer tanks to the USSR with better penetration, I see Maus' often getting destroyed quickly rather than soaking up all the APHE.

You should have mentioned the constant speed increase in the unbalanced team's list as a reason.
They not only overbuff tanks in terms of guns, they did increase the speed of even heavies and TD's troughout the years...I remember how freaking slow the KV tanks were...Even the KV-3...It was a pain to drive and turn, but you HAD time to play...
This applies to any tanks. A quick fix would be like 30% nerf of all tanks.
Another reason that the battles are fast and everybody pushing like crazy is the reusable consumables. In the past players were careful because if you wasn't you got a punch for no reason and were forced to play the whole rest of the battle with a broken engine, or broken gun.
Yet another reason is making credit farming crazy easy with all the boosts and stuff. You can increase your credit income with fancier prem. tanks, events + boosters + clan boosters + platoons.
This also encourages all and everyone to load gold and we already made a whole cyrcle.
On the other hand we shouldn't think quick winning teams in games shouldn't be allowed and encountered somehow if that happends...It's part of the game. What WG should do is balance the tanks, their speeds, pen, damage, the maps, their game...That would prevent that...It worked in the past so what are we really talking about?
Anyways nice points!
i perfer the enlisted pure balance of ok everyone can be shot dead by about the same number of rounds each your tanks are still both vunerable against litterally any AT infantry player and in enlisted its just ok we push hard we lose guys respawn have a human wave
Just remove premium shells so players actually use their brains to play instead of just spamming shells and penetrating everything. F2p players like me will instantly join back
premium shells are fine but they need drawbacks. Just like armor needs drawbacks and dpm need drawbacks. Currently its out of whack. Its not even premium anymore since its paid for by excess silver
Can we like, stop calling it premium shells.
Like, it isn't as premium as it used to, everyone can buy it with silver.
@@XHitsugaX Yep so-called "premium" shells (even though they are not really premium anymore) need drawbacks like lower damage. Also HEAT should do more damage against lighter armored targets and APCR could do actually less damage against lighter armored targets. But in general i think that WG needs to do a major damage system overhaul, since its same as it was during the launch.
F2P Brothers must come togheter in both WT and WoT!
then you need to adress alot of overpowered tanks in order to remove the "gold"Shells, the main Reasons many started to use Gold ammo or atleast have some, is not because ppl using or not using their brains, when their are few overpowerd "Sovjet" tanks "mostly" vs historical tanks, whom some have been nerfed like Tiger I as an exampel, doesn t matter if I use the historical or the long barrel 88 on the Tiger I, I will still have a frustraded & Salty MM, but loading some Gold Shells that will pen or do some damage to bigger or newer overpowerd tanks... then its win-win, you get to roll in you Overpowered tank, while I still roll in my Old Tiger I & able to get your ass anyway, even if it cost me some from my wallet. it doesn t matter, Wargaming only care about making Money, Yes they listen to the Comunity Contribituers, but They get the final Say... & as many Game Devs these days is " making crap ton of Money or less ton of Money? what do you think they will do? make overpowered tanks & add gold ammo & premium tanks = tons of cash.
Removing team damage sucks, for fun reasons but also when you hug an enemy and everyone just fires anyway. Before people would be way more careful now arty and everything just spams anyway. I miss all chat. The troll and rage was so fun.
I was constantly banned, because i was murdering my moronic team mates.

Turning off the chat is the best thing ever added to this game. It should be added to every game so you don’t have to read all those insults. Never important is said in the chat anyway
All chat and Overpowered AP and HE arty shells were the best... I still remember the day I used my tier 8 german arty 2000 (1500-2500) HE damage shell to oneshot a full hp tier 10 Type 57 heavy (2250 damage, got quite good RNG).
Everybody was incredibly disgusted when it happened, both allies and enemies :D
that 1 arty will directly target you every time
This game is 11 years old, there has not been a SINGLE change that's been made to it out of request of the community.
there was several, gold ammo possible to buy by credits changed mm arty nerf the problem is that community wants changes but every change is bad cuz everybody have the personal best solutions
They changed ranked in not having premium tanks
Your aim time vs accuracy visuals is exactly how I've been thinking it should be for a while
one of the weirdest moments I have had in wot was when I shot from like 400m away to a tank driving sideways and the shell landed about 50m short and I still damaged it. I even asked the guy for the replay and on both of our screens it wasn't even close
0:30 you owe me new keyboard...or at least help me clean this coffee 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hello from CIS segment
Some people from our clanwars-community know the EXACT person who balanced the 10th-tier Chieftan.
It's Continental_Atlantic [WG], formerly one of the clan leaders. Wargaming hired this degenarate for some unknown reason to make clanwars better and they managed to give him an opportunity to balance a Chieftan as a prize tank. Thus, it has become his favorite tank (5622 battles and 4k average damage vs B-C 25 t with 1916 battles and 2400 average damage at 2nd place).
In fact, he made up a tank for himself and now all community all over the world suffers.
This is the funniest shit I've ever read. Hope it's real
Meanwhile in wt, an m22 is at toptier fighting mbts and somehow manage to get more kills than me.
You must have missed the War in Syria and Yemen where old stuff is being used in the battlefield alongside modern equipment
Sorry for being m22 main :L
@@KoRbA2310I squish you and ASU
The way accuracy I’m WoT is mind boggling in how poorly thought out it is.
I remember the Panther being an extremely frustrating tank to play simply because RNG would constantly screw me over as what was supposed to be an extremely accurate gun would always hit to the very edge of the reticle while the gun itself was extremely mediocre in damage. A lovely combination of rarely hitting and then doing a pitiful amount of damage when it did hit and pen.
I remember by the end of playing that thing I just shoved the 105 gun in and played it like a very weird and mobile derp tank.
Imagine rng, hitpoints, and no weakspots.
I can't.
*laughs in War Thunder*
Imagine suffering
*Laughs in not playing both games*
imagine comparing realistic game VS arcade LMAO
Imagine not penning the is3 with DM 23 just cause stallinium.

Both are bad, using one to justify the other perpetuates the issue. Balancing Prammo makes OP tanks even more OP, balancing OP tanks makes Prammo nullify the point of armor.
As a former WoT Blitz player of 8 years, who sold his account this august and finally stopped the addiction - I FELT THAT 😅
@MikoDnst how and where does one sell their account?? You've got my interest PEAKED and I'm so done with WoT...however, I've got over 100 premium tanks from loot boxes and being stupid and snatching up the next new shiney tank. So now I feel obligated to play as I've put way too much money into this in 11 months time, between all of the repeated gold purchases and tanks I realized I was over 8K, I'm still killing myself daily over that, and so am very curious how to sell the account and where, I can't just walk away from a Money Stack....
@@dastardlyzfiend I sold my account on a local eBay analog in my country (OLX), but I was able to do that only because the site allows it, and because former soviet countries, mine included, have a big player base in both WoT and WoT Blitz, so it's not difficult to find an interested person. But in other regions (Europe, US, Asia, etc) WoT isn't so popular, so less people will want to buy the account. Also Europe and US have much stricter copyright laws enforcement, so sites like eBay may not allow selling like that
War Thunder: Wrong stats, glitched pen, ruskie bias, endless grind

one time my T34 (in WT) non-penned the side of a KV-2‘s hull twice. I don’t know why he was there either.
(Also it was the American T34)
I miss my old KV2 HE

well its not ruined, you only need to switch to AP's or to O-I
@@vadencium1615 yes for AP but when you are bottom tier vs tier 8 AP is not an option.... The KV2 can't barely scratch now with HE, is totally unfun and useless
KV2 with HE still does Papa Stalin proud, its all about the MM & Teamplay when you roll out with that Beast! have had both crap & Amazing Moments with KV2 :)
We still have that in war thunder, and that’s very funny
Well if you still want to use the KV-2 HE AND potentially one shot a tank you hit square on the mantlet because Haha HE go brrrr. Play Warthunder my friend, I've been doing that up against Tiger II's and by god is it fun to take out such big game with the derpiest of derp guns XD
I came back to WOT after years of a break. I remember, when driving from a hill, you had to raise your turret up not to damage it. Not anymore. Also, the weak points of tanks are now very limited, basic really. I am pretty disappointed how limited it got, but it's still a great game. Also, I guit the game, because of people spamming golden ammo, which I found annoying.
Play War Thunder.

I’m glad I left though, it started to take a serious toll on my mental state lmao.
I stopped and started playing the game few times. But the last time i left is for good. I have 0 intention to go back to WG. Loved the game once, and trully hate it now.
Glad I packed up a year before the update......it looks total shite now.
I still play every so often, trying to get the charioteer's top gun, then I play anything with armor then **bang** Gold rounds.
I was on console since the invitational beta. My four friends that played WoTC with me all quit not long after the mercenary tanks.

I used to play WoT a lot back when tanks had weakspots and it was glorious. You had to judge the angle, angle yourself perfectly, cover or move your weakspots, when 2 heavies met, inferior cannon didn't mean a loss, because you could actually f.e. ram and facehug the guy.
I remember epic E-75 vs IS-4 duels (when IS-4 was rank IX) and general FUN. Buffing armor and removing weakspots was actually horrible because all of the sudden, as you mentioned, several scenarios REQUIRED gold to have any chance. Then came rank X tank destroyers that dismantled the armor meta with ridiculous penetration and alpha damage, WG introduced tanks with v. small weakspots that produced random results and the power creep... I remember scoring 12k damage in one match in (can't remember) rank IX or X Waffentrager that was utterly broken when introduced. Ehhh....
Also I remember we were swearing like hell and having fun, and we were getting chat banns once in a while, but it was all fun. Team damage was a thing and... it was no issue, really. Good old times.
I also don't like this: everybody plays hull down, behind a building, and when I with my type 5 go through the front take all shots from enemies and give my team opportunity to go with me and damage them I get shit.
Reward player's that don't wanna play like scared babys
WG's decision to keep defending prem ammo as being "balanced" while at the same time making it the only viable ammo at all, and the addition of broken prems is what got me to quit about 1.5 years ago, and I have not regretted it for a single day. I only played WoWs after that untill they started doing the same with Carriers and soon Submarines. I can safely say I am glad I quit WG games, I feel far less frustrated playing games these days.
Oh btw, No I don't play WT and will not play THAT disaster ever again, cuz not even WoT is that bad an RNG fest. No hp? Fine. Getting killed by a triple richoted '50 cal round thru the drivers top? Apperently also fine and historically accurate. KEKW
I agree mate. Actually, all team based online games aren't worth our time
Coming from playing WoT, War Thunder is so much better. It takes a bit of time to adjust playstyles but after that it’s so much more fun
Still have 14,000 gold on WOT for 5 hears now. They won't let me switch it to world of ships. So it just sits there since i stopped playing. I fear ships is going in a similar direction as well.
If u fight a type5 heavy with a s conq head on you deserve to lose(thats kind of the point super heavy vs mobile heavy), a s conq has so much more which a type 5 doesnt have, speed, turning speed etc. Heavies are no heavies anymore everyone can pen a type 5 heavy if you shoot prem there is not point in playing type 5 at all if prem ammo doesnt get nerfed.
ya it was a pretty bad comparison lol. even if the s conq were to shoot shells that did less damage it wouldn't change the fact that the s conq is still a vastly superior tank over a type 5.
True a 1v1 comparison doesn’t make much sense I think there needs to be a combination of pen and dmg nerf, credits isn’t enough of a drawback to shooting prem and making the pen significantly worse defeats the premium ammo purpose, it makes more sense to have 5-10%less dpm.
true. Superheavies are supposed to be hard to pen, they're slow as sht
@@semperfi2014mn yea, i have no clue how he thought this was a good comparison. What S conq face to face fights a Type 5. It just doesnt happen. Nor does a m6 straight up 1v1 a 252u solo and even with gold, that would be stupid and always end in a lose.
Yeah definitely agree with you. The whole point of superheavies are to be able to have that all round survivebility, this comparison is like saying the violin can’t play as low as the cello so it sucks.
I wish they made it so that if you aimed long enough your dispersion would go all the way down to 0 and you would guaranteed hit the shot
As WT player, all i can say is: BAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
Yes sitting there aiming for 10 seconds in a KV2 only to miss the weakspot and hit the turret roof is pure pain (I am a wotb player in which cupolas and lower plates are almost always weakspots) you could say just to use HE but that's just not enough because lets say a KV1S is showing me his turret i will probably just hit him for 290 while he hits me back for 400. and that absolutely ruins my DPM while he can just kill me with 2 more shots because he has lesser DPM but i have a high potential DPM but low actual DPM
Yeah why not just make any tank get to 0 dispersion but after the regular max dispersion circle it aims in even slower to balance it
14:19 the example there is a bit off imo, because if your in a E100 and you got HEAT on a 279e, on flat ground, your shooting down on him cause the E100 is taller, so the chances of penning become much higher, ive checked in tanks.gg as well. Good points for everything else though, and fuck arty.
Actually that's my strategy, I call my E100 the Obj279e killer... They need 6 shots to kill me meanwhile I only need 3...
