Yes, when I played, I noticed a pattern: WOT works to keep all players around a 50 to 55 percent winrate. If you have a good game, get into the right positions, and the right opposition and have a really good game, you are guaranteed to have 4 crappy games after that. I have multiple games, killed 8/9 enemy, survived, made credits, then the next 3 or 4 or 5? I couldn't hit the ground with my hat. One instance, I pull up on an enemy, my aiming circle totally encompassed the enemy tank except for 2 pixels of dirt. My barrel was less than 5 ft from the hull of the enemy tank. Guess where my shot went? Into the dirt. In order for that physically to happen, the round would have had to exit the gun through the bottom of the barrel, not the end. All the food, type of ammunition, ventilation, training doesn't mean a damn thing as long as RNG is in play. The only way to truly win at WOT is to not play. That's what I did.

@alichinoalichino22832 жыл бұрын
To be fair, Claus, we don't know for sure if the penetration RNG is applied the moment you pull the trigger. It could be that JpzE100 fires its HEAT with 420mm pen, then the shell loses pen with distance but the RNG is applied when the shell hits the target. Example: say there is 20mm loss over distance. If it's as you say, then the penetration at hit is (420 * 0.75-1.25) - 20, so could be as low as 295mm, or as high as 505mm. If it is the other way, then the pen is 400 * 0.75-1.25, with min/max value being 300 and 500 respectively. For a distance drop of 100mm we have: -- min 215, max 425 or -- min 240, max 400 I suppose there's not that much difference after all.

also having no RNG on pen would make the game a million percent more fun to play, if they just took that out it would fix so much irritation, if your 300 pen was 300 pen when it left the gun barrel and not 220, or even 190 depending on how far the target is when you fire, they could still keep pen falloff from distance and it would still be fine, peoples accuracy in the game would go up 40% over night, even during that stupid event when accuracy was maxed and dispersion was -50%, i would bounce 3 out of 4 shells in a auto loaders clip because 3 shells left the gun with minimum pen rolls, it just makes everything pointless, you aim, wait till fully aimed, fire and get screwd over, having that much randomness in a game is to much it makes playing pointless, whats the point of "getting good" in the game if the game randomly always makes you do poorly?

I watch some of these videos of Claus' and I think "how the hell do these guys hit what they're pointing at"? I'd be in heaven in my shots were 10% as accurate. I remember my matilda, one of the last battles I played, I shot a apcr into the a$$ of a Luchs and "no penetration". That told me one thing: the round, tank you're playing, the tank you're aiming at, doesn't mean a damn thing. What matters is if you have had a good game previously or not. If you did? RNG will prevent your shots from hitting, and if they do hit, it doesn't matter where you hit, you won't do damage. It's like playing roulette and when everyone has bet, the croupier spins the wheel, then when the wheel stops spinning THEN he puts the ball in a slot that no one bet on.

RNG is like playing blackjack at a casino. The deck could have all kings and aces, the dealer could deal you an ace down, and a king up, and the dealer a 9 and a 10, and when you go to look at your hole card the "game" has the ability to change the hole card to whatever it deems fit. The dealer could deal you an ace, but since you've had good games the last 3 or 4, it will change the ace to a 2. So sorry, you no win.

The (high) RNG being calculated as a percentage becomes more of a detriment as you go up in tiers. A 100 alpha gun would do 75 - 125 damage (50 point spread), whereas a 1000 alpha gun would do 750 - 1250 (500 point spread). . My fix would be to use sliding scale RNG. Start at 25% for tier 1, then drop the percentage by one point per tier, ending at 15% RNG for tier 10. This could be justified by the general improvements in technology that universally occured over time. For old tier 10s (German Maus, E100, etc.), the low RNG is due to the tanks receiving the best equipment available, not standard mass-produced gear. . Watcha tink?

We have events on console where RNG is removed altogether, pen RNG and damage roll RNG are removed and I can honestly say that's it's kinda meh...RNG works both ways, yes you can roll low on a pen and bounce BUT you can also high roll on a shot you shouldn't pen and you end up penning because you high rolled. Removing RNG removes both bad and good RNG, let that sink in...so if a tank is angling and you take a shot at a weak spot you know should pen IF you roll high RNG but once that's gone you WILL bounce no matter what...no more low damage rolls BUT no more high damage rolls... As a console player that has experienced no RNG matches I can honestly say that it's a double edge knife that can have just as much of a positive or negative effect as RNG can have.

Also, yes, Wargaming has completely borked this game with their RNG. IDK what's changed recently but it was bad before, but lately it feels like it's just been absolutely out of this world.
