E-100 and Maus turrets are absolute butter. What the hell you talking about? At a perfect, non firing angle, the E-100 might, might be able to bounce a round. Try to fire? Every tank can pen. Ever tank can pen Maus at any time, anywhere.

This is my recent battles by class, back in the day i was Way more a heavy tank user, now im starting to want the flexibility of mediums. I was such a heavy tank lover my favorite tank for the first 10k battles was the black prince tier 7 British heavy tank, even though i had a 44% win rate over 255 battles in it. Now i would have to say my favorite tank is the kampfpanzer 50t tier 9 German reward tank.

Maniac57c, on Aug 08 2021 - 02:03, said: It's all part of the same plan and working exactly as designed.  Just like getting bottom tier whenever you play grind tanks, or getting city maps when you choose arty. It's part of how they manipulate players. Built-in frustration to promote spending for premium time, premium tanks, etc. Best thing to do is ignore the mismatches and work on farming damage and using team mates as meat shields.

Your stats raise an interesting counterpoint to me.   You and I are of a similar winrate and games played total.  Yet you’re getting 1/3 the draws am I.  Then it dawned on me…. I wonder if you’re a heavy player.   I kinda hate playing heavies personally, so it’s one of my least played classes other than arty.  For you it is by far your most played class.  I suppose in the end this makes a lot of sense.  In a heavy you don’t really get to pick and chose your engagements, it’s generally in for a penny in for a pound.  Additionally heavy tanks are the meta.  80% of the maps in this game revolve around a small patch of the map where heavies and heaviums brawl it out and often the winner of these brawls decide the game, especially if it’s a heavy… um, heavy match.   So I do wonder if preferred tank class has a lot to do with it.  Do heavy tanks and heavy tankers by nature see less draws?  It would make sense as the break through in the heavy line is so often what tips the balance one way or the other.   Does anyone know if their is a site that would have draw% by tank class stats?

TheRealSerapth, on Aug 07 2021 - 16:48, said:   ... you did notice I posted stats for 1,000 battles and 60 days right... not exactly a small sample size.  Now I did make this post because today was obscenely draw heavy, as has been the whole week.  I am not talking about 66% draw rate... a 3% draw rate, up from a lifetime average of 1.2% is a HUGE shift, especially when you factor that 1.2% also includes the additional draws from the most recent 1000+ games, meaning the difference is more like 3x than 2.8x.


TheRealSerapth, on Aug 07 2021 - 16:51, said: For the record, I would take draws over 15-0 simulator almost every single time.  Draws are often some of the most intense and fun games you will find.   Almost   Draws on certain maps absolutely suck if its down to bad map design ("you push you lose + 3x arty" maps).  Those games are the absolute worst WoT has to offer, as it's generally 15 minutes of doing nothing.

Edselman, on Aug 07 2021 - 16:34, said:   Where exactly did I say it's going to die soon? Nowhere.   It may interest you to know that the server population has been on a gradual decline for several years now.   https://wot-news.com...er/us/norm/en/      A shill is someone who mindlessly defends everything WG does regardless of the impacts it will have on the game. Shills often like to frequent threads complaining about certain changes and proceed to dismiss everything stated on the thread as "dumb" or "butthurt crying" despite there being much valid criticism on said threads.

TheRealSerapth, on Aug 07 2021 - 16:23, said: I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, especially since the last patch.  Draws are off the charts now.  Not sure if its the HE nerf causing it to be harder to dig out hull down tanks, or the Arty changes, or a change in meta, but I'm actually losing less than normal, but my WinRate is stagnant almost entirely due to draws.  Heck I played 3 games today and it took until the 3rd match to not be a draw.  In my last 7 days it was a staggering 13% (yeah, small sample size sure, I haven't played a lot).   My lifetime draw average is just over 1% but over the last 30-60 day range (@1000 battles, mostly since 1.13), I'm looking at nearly 3x normal at a fairly stable 3% draws.   My loss percentage is actually down 2-3% but my winrate is fairly steady or falling slightly and it's entirely seemingly caused by draws.  I know people will say the usual "You are farming meaningless damage"... blah blah blah, but I've actually played a LOT in Borat and GSOR, all tanks I play quite aggressively.  Today I averaged over 3k damage and still managed to get 66% draws.   Is anyone else experience this phenomenon?  If so, why do you think it is?

I receive a coupon of 20%, whatever I already have all tier 5 tanks, refund me my gold please I spent gold and money buying those just to see you WG decided not to let me win battle pass points in my tanks, is a scam, or remove low tiers of the game and refund my gold 


Karyn_CE, on Aug 06 2021 - 12:11, said: do you think I have many free time? enough time to complete the battle pass and still have extra time to play my other tanks? because I like my low tiers too, I have a life, I have a job and is unfair that WG dont let me win battle pass points in tanks I payed gold to play them

TooSirius, on Aug 06 2021 - 10:17, said: My 10 year -anniversary- happened towards the end of July, and I didn't even know it.  Now, this isn't particularly a big deal, however, it is somewhat special and perhaps abnormal in the majority of games to be played this long. Games come and go over the years. some I might pick back up, but with years apart, while world of tanks has always stayed. The point of me wanting to say all this is because(and please excuse some self-entitlement here) i didn't even get any notification, medal, gold sticker, cookie, or anything. nothing. I actually think I may have gotten an ad that said"congrats on your anniversary" for a 30% discount on 4 tanks. Like I said, I know this sounds self-entitled but am I wrong? not even a popup window like those ones that say great work you hit 1k, 5k, 10k, etc battles! This money-grabbing, pay-to-win company that wants to milk their old and new player base for all their worth doesn't seem to make much effort to show they care about their long-time players. I know the "well-deserved reward" happens towards the end of the year but I'm still a little butt hurt. I know I shouldn't complain about free stuff but a super chaffee that is a worse T37, a Russian light tank that's mediocre, and a hellcat that is minutely better than it's tier 6 tank, and has less camo, just doesn't seem that great to me. (i may be forgetting about the A46 but I don't remember why they gave that away) what are some people's thoughts on this? I know I should feel more grateful, but can't quite get there.

SlappedbyRommel, on Aug 05 2021 - 16:19, said: Very interesting since when I send in a ticket about MM the answers are very canned this one went in to a bit of detail on the algorithm. Its funny how they continue to play with combat parameters meaning what the one shot you need to kill the tank to win means you miss point blank. Or the prefect shot across 100 yards hits the dirt? Is this what it means to screw you with rng? I really wonder and forget the tin cap thing how much WG plays with settings that continually piss you off. Maybe they are drinking heavily and laughing at N/A while they play with the rhythm of the game oh sorry meant algorithm of the game.
