Guess the WN8 of the WoT Replay - #1

[@ادريان-ز9م]

Very cool idea keep them coming

[@HonestGamingLife]

Thanks! Will do!

[@jhorn9998]

Agreed, I enjoy getting to play the guessing game as well.

[@NearlyBatman]

Yes. This is good. This is really nice. As someone who learns like a brick, having someone bash the information in like this is fantastic. The "HEY STUPID, DON'T DO THAT" method works great for me. Maybe once I'm back off night shift I can come watch the streams again or maybe even submit one of my own. I'm all over the place so I wonder what you'd think lol. Its been like a month, i miss the shenanigans

[@KeremTezcan-c1i]

I was checking vid only for the concept of it but gosh dang, I am very surprised how deeply you analyse and it is very helpful.

[@GhostVvar]

I did some messing around with Iyouxin's spotting calculator and found that using vents+CVS gives you better spotting through bushes than vents+optics, but thats about it, so its only best used for bushy maps, where as optics is better for open maps.

[@Skullost]

Amazing video! I absolutely loved this idea, I also think it is a good way to help people to get better at the game too, since you are both providing feedback on what you would have done better, and you get to guess their Wn8 + Win rate, I would say this is a win-win.

[@Ganjalfiltubo]

AND HE SACRIFICES... THE HIT POINTSsssssssssssss!!! WHAT A MOVE!

[@HonestGamingLife]

THEEE ROOOOOOOOOOOOK

[@philipleiser2090]

I haven’t played Tanks in like 5 years…and yet I want to send in replay just so the class can have fun at my expense 😂

[@LuvLikeTruck]

This sounds like a fun series!

[@LuvLikeTruck]

Moar plz

[@loadsoftom4302]

This is a really great idea! Would love to see more!

[@HonestGamingLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@-__-_--_---_-]

As someone said, using great games is a bit flawed, just make them send random battle (where they didnt fuck up hard), it would make a lot more sense imo Also using recent stats is better imo

[@hjorte.]

Awesome format, I love it. If you continue, please do not focus on unicum replays. The Bourrasque replay at display here is perfect.

[@Vanta_Blue]

If this had been during the time I played the game I would have sent a replay just because. Looks like a fun series to do, and to watch. Looking forward to more. =)

[@TheCrankyprof]

Loved this ... your commentary was fantastic! Really insightful. I learned a ton.

[@neilwilliams4684]

Good luck on guessing a players WN8 if they mainly drive light tanks like I do. So many great spotting games with virtually zero WN8. It really drags down a persons average.

[@anthonyhowrard526]

agree. I love playing lt`s and have been tk`d, pushed into fire, off cliffs etc and verbally abused all because of my stats. do not understand to logic of some players. even an afk tank can be of use.

[@zeroyuki92]

Not really. A good light tank player will also have good (or at least decent) WN8 eventually. Knowing when to use your gun instead of spotting is one of the most important skillset for a LT player. Also, while some games with near to 0 damage and huge spotting will definitely happen, you will also have games with big damage for LT (even on open maps) and doing damage in LT gives HUGE WN8. It evens out to a degree. (That is also why the additional of guessing WR is important. A 'safer' LT player that is great at spotting and positioning will have very high WR + mediocre WN8, and that could be a factor for guessing)

[@Ivanova2718]

Love both the play by play and the tactics, as well as the comedy you bring to the entire process

[@austinlawless382]

love this content mate, hope you keep it up

[@evilmac9623]

It was a fun vid and original for WoT. Go for it!

[@deanwong6565]

I need this. Good to learn from your mistakes, better to learn from other"s. Subscribed

[@HonestGamingLife]

Awesome, thank you!

[@brag0001]

I also like the concept, when though I've stopped gaming years ago 😂

[@VioletGiraffe]

This is very good! I need more. The only small nitpick is that only the recent WR and WN8 matter, not overall, that's unfair and irrelevant. But the point is your commentary on the gameplay.

[@mrseryous8122]

This was amazing. Your commentary here was really insightful on what is a good play and what is not. Especially when you pause and explain what you would do next instead of judging what already happened. I believe this is some of the best content to learn from. I would like to advise using recent statistics for your judgment though. All-time statistics can be very misleading and downright unfit for how someone is playing right now. There are people who have been playing for more than 10 years and tens of thousands matches on their account, their all-time stats won't even remotely match their performance nowadays.

[@Gigakhah]

Great idea for a series!

[@zeroyuki92]

This is a lovely format. Some feedback: 1. I personally don't think penalty for wrong guess is necessary. The video itself is already a good content and incentivizing people to send trolling video for gold will just sour the input. 2. If you still want to add a price, I would add a requirement of minimum game length and minimum survive time. Not much you can guess if the person is ammoracked at the first minute of brawling session. 3. As an alternative to monetary reward, I would emphasize more on a short advice on what to improve the most at the end of the battle. I think that alone would be a good incentive for people to send replays and watch.

[@GiM_Retrospect]

I love guess the ELO! This is a great idea!

[@adeaaa8832]

the bourrasque should have had one HE clip in order to reset the cap

Hi there! really like this video, am hoping to see the next episode soon!

[@danielclesse6272]

I'm more interested in your thoughts during the gameplay tham the actual WR or WN8 part 🙃 Great Content. By the way,... M4 and PzIVH habe to be played with a derp in my opinion. Ever tried Churchill derp?

could I send you a replay for the next part? I actually had this video idea 2 years ago for xElektrodemon Channel. Nice Video

[@davidforsyth-brandham2424]

Really interesting more please

[@erikbiggs97]

You would have a heart attack from watching me play the game, I'm not bad just a little dumb when it comes to strategy.

[@Bulletisred]

WoT's screws you over via RNG. The way you play it would be great but I always gets bounces and riccichets.

[@paulfountain1364]

I never quite understand wn8, I have 2900, which apparently is very good, but my win rate is only 51%, a lot of my games just seem un winnable, regardless of my contribution.

[@CptSpears007]

I like it, could you make it self funding by having players pay a fraction of the gold to have their game reviewed?

[@HonestGamingLife]

I’m giving it some thought.

[@RudolfJelin]

@@HonestGamingLife I would definitely pay to get my replay getting roasted online. Also maybe recent WR is more consistently guessable than WN8?

I need to sent you a replay and you can only judge my equipment, the replay it self would say too much on how bad i am xd (edit: binos camonet incoming)

[@froodogga7053]

why would you set up a bour as a scout when in most games you have 2 or 3 lights on your team...the bour only needs to be able to scout in the latter half of the game if needed...a bour needs to be equipped with today's meta ie speed and firepower...vert stab, turbo, and optics only three items a bour should EVER have...

[@erazorCTF]

The player from the first replay ist FROM HIS CLAN so why does he act here like he does not know him or his WN8 roughly. This seems staged.

[@HonestGamingLife]

Bruh my clan has no WN8 or win rate requirement, and I certainly don’t keep track of anyone’s statistics just for shits and giggles :P

[@erazorCTF]

@HonestGamingLife I did NOT want to imply that. But you will still roughly know the people and their level of skill so this was not 100% blind an no unknown dude like it was presented.

[@HonestGamingLife]

@ I don’t control who submits replays- I literally didn’t even notice his clan until you mentioned it :D

[@erazorCTF]

@@HonestGamingLife oof, when you read out his name you had your eyes on it and dient notice that? Nevermind, it maybe was not intentional then. But you agree this looks at least fishy? 😄

wot is a disgusting cheat game. everything that is streamed here by these paid storytellers has little to do with the reality of the game. you get the worst matchmaking, RNG is highly manipulated. you will never get anywhere near the hit rates shown here. for wot, missed shots are money and so it is manipulated. and more and more badly armored and of course overpriced garbage tanks are being offered so that you have even more missed shots despite gold ammo and provisions. The worst rip-off.
