WoT really is something else... for a decade I avoided PVP games because I figure I couldn't handle the stress. Tried LOL but bounced right off due to the toxicity... Now I'm still super new, not knowing where to go, making tons of mistake, but I played to learn, and winning or losing become secondary. Longest losing streak is around 9 games. I just focus on my play and doing damage. One time I got blabbed to 1 hp left, still managed to make 3 shots before dying. Even with just 200 battles in, there were a few games I managed to affect. I'm really enjoying the journey. Hopefully I can grow more consistent over time.

Thanks for joining the WOT community! The best thing you can do is look up these categories and learn them in depth. Camo mechanics and view range, Ammo types and their uses, Strong map positions, and Armor and angling. Map awareness is something you will get after more games, but it is definitely something you should be actively trying to do. Look at your minimap as often as you can. Don't get stuck staring at the aiming reticle. The most time consuming category is learning all of the armor models for the various tanks. Learning weakpoints, ammo storage location, fuel location, engine location, and crew location is VERY powerful. This isn't too important until tiers 9 and 10. Good luck!
@jamesschroeder11742 ай бұрын
Just play and play and play. It takes a long time to really learn the maps, using your mini map and watching what your team is doing. Then there’s your individual play. I’m quite aggressive so it has hurt me a lot but I’m learning how and when to be aggressive. Keep it up, you’ll get better! I understand sucking, I’ve gotten a handful of messages saying how bad a sucked and should never play. I ignore them or tell them I can careless. I play because I enjoy it not to please you.

I just truly wish the games weren't clearly rigged for wins or losses. If it was actually random, you might lose 3 or 4, but then it would balance out over a fairly short period. For the last 3 evenings I have been playing 20ish games a night, and I've been on the losing side 80 - 90% of the time. Literally less than 10 wins out of 60 games gets a bit frustrating. I'm glad to see you face the same issues, and I truly appreciate the good example you set for me...
@ThekatanaheroАй бұрын
Nothing in the game is rigged. The randomness of the game is precisely why you sometimes get 10-15-20 game lose streaks. Think of it as flipping a coin. There s 50% chance for it to be heads and 50% chance for it yo be tails. It is also statistically possible for you to flip a coin 10 times and for it to be heads 10 times in a row, the chances are just lower. Frustrating as it is, without losing streaks you wouldn t have winning streaks either. A truly rigged system would have given you from a total of 60 games played 30 wins and it would have lost you (no matter what you do) 30 games. Without the randomness aspect of the game, there wouldn t be any feeling of achieving something great when you hit those 15-20 game winning streaks.

The enemy teams average was 5600, my teams average was 4200. THATS THE PROBLEM. When the enemy team has a bunch of really good players and my entire team is below average players, there is no way we can win. Now my question is WHY i get put on the bad teams 8 out of 10 times? Im almost always top 3 on my team and my wtr is 5700 and my wn8 is 1800. Now if im just above average, why do i get put on the bad team almost every game?

i usually don't really care about win rate because when it comes to games like wot, even if you do everything you can, you might still end up losing. that is not to say that i don't try winning matches, and that i do not make mistakes, but just that sometimes there's nothing you can do to avoid a defeat. i started playing over 9 years ago when i was just 12 and, with time, i learned more and more about the game and how it works. as of right now, i'd say i'm above average when it comes to actual skills. sadly my win rate doesn't reflect this, but i accepted it and now it doesn't bother me that much anymore. tl;dr while having good stats feels good, focus on having fun rather than just winning.

Tiger II is an awesome tank. the gun is amaizing or a heavy tank, the armor is not top notch but you get a good amount of bounces and its not the slowest heavy in the world. both standard and gold ammo are very good with great velocity and you have a nice amount of HP with this one. also i feel like you can run multiple build with either hardening as a brawler or improving the gun handling and almost be something like a sniper. very flexible, very fun and although its a tech tree tank it can deal with a lot of premiums as well

Losing or wining isn´t the problem. I really don´t care either way. The frustrating part is when you have so many tourists, inept bots in your team that you won´t even be able to get anything out of the game, specially so when you aren´t even top tier. (same goes the other way around when you are racing with your teammates for the damage as the enemy tourists just feed your team for free.) What´s the point of a game when the top tier platoon players aren´t even able to find their own bum in the dark with a map and a flashlight? Those just press w and happily drive into a crossfire dealing 300 damage combined for the whole platoon. This isn´t a rare problem but a rather common one, the player base on average is so incompetent and bad that wg releasing bots would probably increase the average skill level by a lot, and that is such a low bar it´s already embarrassing. I mean the game is so bloody damn simple in it´s core. Move the cursor over an enemy, wait for the outline and aim for something till the indicator goes green then pull the trigger. All the while do not drive around like a headless chicken and use cover, bushes to avoid getting hit. And despite this incredible simple tasks you find thousands of people unable to perform even on the lowest of levels.
