Hey_man_Gneis_shot: Heyo @thanetyrian! I'll take a look and get back to you about this! #keepcalmandtankon

Elias_K_Grodin: Hey Platoon, I would be less concerned about other people's stats and records and focus more on my own. Coming back after 2 years is a steep curve especially in my first week back. However, I quickly re-learned the basics of playing Tanks, positioning, angling, and weak points of opposing vehicles. You can't control RnG and luck but you can control your tank and your position on the battlefield.

churchill50: Tour of Duty is a Clan event. Based on clan and personal activity, you get rewards.If you go to the Clan tab at the top of the garage, and click on the Tour of Duty pane, you can see your progress towards getting the next rewards. The camos you're given as rewards don't cost gold. They're free to apply to tanks.The confusion probably comes in in your case because you are rewarded 1 random CW camo type (There's digi-camo, watermelon camo, and one other I believe) for a random season of a random nation.In the reward window that comes up when you get a camo, you can hover over the  camo to see the season and nation the camo is for. If you then go to a tank of that nation, go to Exterior, go to the customize option (I can't remember what it's called, and can't access my computer. It's the option that's not preset styles), go to the right season, and scroll to the right, you should see the camo you just won, and you should be able to mount it for free. One caveat is that when you mount these camos on a tank, you cannot remove them and move them to another tank later on. They become locked to the tank you put them on. Hopefully that helps!

DeviouslyCursed:  Except you are always facing the same number of human opponents on the other side, as you have on your team. If the enemy team was comprised of ALL bots, I would agree. But they are not.

_BobaFett: Pure BUNK and you know it!

_BobaFett: It's a shame really, because there are some issues that I have with the current state of crew that were (somewhat) fixed with the sandbox version of Crew 2.0. Unfortunately in their trademark fashion, WG had to go completely overboard with it and include a ton of features that were not worth the benefits presented (in my opinion).

Elias_K_Grodin: Heyo Platoon! When I first started playing WoT 5 years ago, getting started wasn't too bad at Tier I and II. However, moving into the middle tiers took a bit of learning and adapting. To a large degree I'm still learning the game especially coming back after 3 years with the World of Warships team. I think the basic premise is this game doesn't require players to pay in order to play the game. There are plenty of ways you can earn rewards, goodies, maybe even a few event items and tanks along the way.https://worldoftanks...the-object-27a/ You can also earn bonds through earning heroic achievements playing Tier IV to X vehicles or playing Tier X in single tier battles.https://worldoftanks...mechanics-0720/ Hope that helps!#keepcalmandtankon

_BobaFett: Bot games shouldn't count for statistics of any kind (ace mastery data, gun marks, etc) but should still provide the same amount of XP and credits.

_BobaFett:  That's genius. Why didn't I think of that sooner?

_BobaFett:  Gotta make that bank somehow I guess.

_BobaFett: Added more options to the poll.

_BobaFett: This is very strange.

_BobaFett: Bump

Draschel:  I scratch out an independent living, on planet earth, myself. I am guessing, with certainty, quite a more difficult one than you do or have done. But that is not why we are here. He is allowed to buy whatever he wants. I merely suggested superior things, in which one can buy with generally the same opportunity cost. That is, what normal people generally do, buy superior product for the same costs  

_BobaFett:  Penetration needed a serious buff, and still does.

_BobaFett:  They did exactly that to SH... Granted it's not in the game, but at least that's what they were planning to do according to the website. 

DomoSapien: This is great feedback. I'll make sure to forward it to the product managers responsible for the collaboration.

DomoSapien: Howdy! Below are links to KRZYBooP's supertest posts for the following maps that are currently being tested.

I believe this is all of them but I may have missed a few, if you search the Wargaming Community Feedback Requests subforum for "Maps" you might be able to find more, or previous iterations of these maps as some have gone through revisions already. MidsommarAvenueHighgroundFrozen LandCanyonLost ParadisePacific CoastIslandGraf ZeppelinTropikaIvanovka 

_BobaFett:  sigh...

DomoSapien: I hear that SLOBS is a resource hog. I would try switching to regular OBS and seeing if that improves your performance at all.

DomoSapien:

I've been playing a lot more lately so if you see me on feel free to send me an invite I think we're friends in-game, right?

_BobaFett: T-150 is more forgiving for a newer player, that's what I'd go with.

_BobaFett:  Lol.

DomoSapien: Take my review with a grain of salt because I am far from an excellent player, but after that most recent wave of buffs to pref mm tanks, the Type 59 is a very reliable tank.

Especially in platoons, you can do a lot when you're top tier and and perform reasonably well in tier IX battles. As for why the expected damage might seem a bit low, I'd say it's likely due to the recent Type 59 sale. Lots of players trying out the vehicle for the first time. The standard AP rounds perform reasonably well so if you can avoid spamming gold, you make a good amount of credits too.

_BobaFett: Seeing as this topic has been revived, I am now on 93.

Elias_K_Grodin: Heyo Platoon! While the OP's message may not be accurate, I think the scenario of a lopsided battle can and does happen more often than we'd like.
Reasons for this can be anything from an aggressive push by the enemy team that breaks through and leads to a flanking movement allowing a crossfire towards allied tanks. This quickly forces your team to take up defensive positions but usally after a loss of several teammates and allows a numbers advantage which becomes academic. Another reason for a lopsided result is over-extending into territory already in the enemy's "kill zone". Once a few teammates go down, the other team typically launches a counter-attack and that quickly unfolds into a rout of allied vehicles. Sometimes this can't be avoided as aggressive offensives takes skill and experience to counter. But being aware of your position and the team's position on the map in relation to the other team helps mitigate early mistakes that can lead to a quick trip back to the garage. "Retreat, hell!

_BobaFett:  You can add miscommunication to my list of frustrations with WG.

_BobaFett:  No free stuff for you comrade...

DeviouslyCursed:   The only person you embarrass is yourself.  So, didn't deny it. I'm guessing his 1Bravo2 account got it's 5th strike shortly after, and now he's using this account to post.

DeviouslyCursed:

_BobaFett: Why? Why change the Steel Hunter earnings to top 5 only? Huh? I actually enjoyed this mode.  For God's sake, stop fixing things that aren't broken.  Used to be a great resource for BP points, no matter if you got lucked out because of where you spawned.   Just had to let it all out...

DeviouslyCursed:  Ok, you got me with that post.

Elias_K_Grodin: Heyo Platoon, I've had awful streaks not only in WoT but also WoWS and other games as well. This is the challenge of random team matchups because you never know if it will be steamroll or you'll be steamrolling.  Which is why you go with your experience and knowledge of the previous battle(s) and adapt/learn from them. "I learned that good judgment comes from experience and that experience grows out of mistakes." - Omar Bradley.

Einzelganger7: The only mode I see as a failure is steel hunter, they literally just made it for the boom on Battle Royale games during the past years but it is boring and nowadays there is not even a reward to play it. As for Brawl, the only bad thing I see is that it only lasts for 4 days.
