What to buy in Store May 17, 2024 WOT Blitz | Littlefinger on World of Tanks Blitz

[@LittlefingeronWOTBlitz]

So, I know I've said not to gamble on crates. But I had 85k in gold and wanted to try my luck at the Object 590 so I spent 15k gold on 10 crates. I got the tank on the second container. Then proceeded to get two 750 gold draws, followed by a 10,000 gold, and a huge container. The huge container opened the Asten Rex which I already have so it turned into another 3,750 gold. I ended up making back more than 15k gold and got the tank.....I've either just used all my luck or need to buy a lottery ticket.

WZ Blaze is quite expensive at 5000 gold. I've seen it often for 3000, and with the Ice HT, 7000 as a bundle. Finally I bought the Chimera. I've been chasing it for 2 years at a good price, and finally it arrives and I had the gold ready.

Churchill can be an absolute monster in some game modes. Particularly uprising. I think it's a good way to learn side scraping and has a reasonable credit coefficient.

[@LittlefingeronWOTBlitz]

Perhaps, but i rarely play other game modes.

[@CMDR_Hal_Melamby]

@@LittlefingeronWOTBlitz fair comment and thanks for the store guides, always been useful.

[@halbailman]

Yep, in Uprising, the Churchill is bonkers. Activate zombie mode and you rip through the enemy.

Regarding lucky containers, do u get gold/credits for each tank you already have pls ? I mean if u have all tier 6, will u get a tier 7 container and gold or credits ?

[@getshrekd4982]

no if you already have a tank you'll just receive a higher tier lucky container

[@LittlefingeronWOTBlitz]

that is correct. the only compensation is 7,500 gold if you get all the way to tier X and have that tank as well.

So the new update is out and they didn't fix MM with skills based criteria. If WOTB is wants a private UNICUM club it isn't going to grow. It will plateau in terms of $$. WG knows this and won't like it as a business. And BTW, there is no such thing as a "free tank". Tanks, upgrades and credits all require gold. Free to play is mostly a myth. Tech tree tanks require gold for upgrades. WG is a business, and they make more money by emphasizing premium tanks. Gold costs money. Figure a rough rate of 3000 gold for $10. WG knows the average player spend rate and the number of players who stick around. Maybe when the Unicums play WG free accounts they forget that gold and credits cost other players money. WOTB needs some form of skills based match making (and a quantitative measure of how close battles cause closer battles are more exciting battles). SBM doesn’t have be fancy. Say players at < 40, 40-50, 50-60 and 60+ used as a rough criteria along with type of tanks for more balanced MM teams. Right now WOTB allows platoons of 50-60+ like Droodles and Flossie. With a team of 2-4 players in that category, they steam roll other players.. Maybe 20% of today’s games are even close. If you are on a skilled seal clubber team you win 7-2. If you are against them you lose 2-7. Over and over with only 20% close games. I have watched this happen to Umicums in their videos and they complain loudly about the unbalanced teams. I have some skills and I may get 1-3k of damage and kill 1-2 tanks but it doesn't matter. When WG looks at the number of players who start playing WOTB and the numbers who quit there is an obvious huge attrition rate. Skilled seal clubbers make it less fun and send the new and average players packing. Kills WG growth. Unicom players WHINED about skills based MM and killed it to maintain their private club and WR egos. When average players and new players bail, there is less $$ for tank goodies and for You Tube videos. Right now, WOTB pro players play in WOTB against average and new players. That isn't a game, that is a racket. That would be like me attempting to play in the NFL or play a Grandmaster in Chess. If WOTB isn't fun the dogs are not going to eat the dog food and the average players are not going to stick around. Buh Bye

I feel like this issue warrants a video. @freethinker9542 I'm just curious when you started playing. Was it during the period of +2/-2 MM, was it before or after the nerfing of tier 5 and below tanks to stop real seal clubbing, was it before all of these 3x, 4x, and 5x multipliers, was it before all of these gimmick game modes? MM is a real issue that is hurting the game. I think everyone would love to have a higher percentage of competitive battles. But WG has to balance that with making money on the game. For example, when you first start this game all you want is to get your first Tier X. I'm sure WG saw they were losing players before they made it that far so they made it much easier to grind EXP (5x boosters) and Credits (gimmick game modes). They even started selling Tier X tanks in the store. Essentially taking a lot of the time that should have been spent learning skills in exchange for making $$$. There aren't enough players on the NA server to do much to fix MM. You would have to wait too long to get matched up based upon a skills based MM. They are trying to make MM work as good as it can with the amount of players online. I wish they could figure out how increase the number of tanks per battle. This would reduce the impact that an AFK player has. It would reduce the impact of those that yolo or don't care about their win rate and are just playing a pixel game for a few minutes of entertainment. I think WG has spent too much effort on the numbers of tanks, not enough on the stale maps, and nothing on trying to increase the 7 vs 7 game.

[@MackMateCom]

I agree I refuse now to spend any money now on the game I’m not being a sacrificial lamb for unicums to have high numbers I also stopped watching ads I’m never supporting this game financially again
