Open Letter to Abusive "Expert" Tankers

Дата: 04.03.2011 15:37:56
 TargetDrone1957, on 02 March 2011 - 05:29 PM, said: Background: Been playing for a week, working the German TD tree, AFV: Hetzer, Map: Ensk (I think)
Note to fellow "noobs": If you didn't know, the Hetz is a German Light TD, powered by a weedwhacker engine, has a limited weapon with either a lot of punch, but no accuracy, SLLLOOOOW reload, and limited rounds OR a quick reloading, accurate beaut with plenty of ammo, that bounces off everything but a light tank, and BTW extremely limited traverse on both, as there is no turret. If it is still the STOCK Hetz, even light tanks are nearly immune! This baby is often matched with high tier tanks.
Well tanker pros, who measure your manhood by your tank's gun barrel size, you've charged your mighty Tier 7 tank down the streets of Ensk, and now it is a twisted smoking wreck at some intersection. You look at your team's roster, and the home team is outnumbered 10 to 3. Among the 10 the bad guys have left T-14s, KVs, Leopards, and Arty. The home team? Two camping Arty gods, and the single Hetz, that BARELY had time to waddle from the start area to a bush in the home base area, 20 yards away, before those enemy Leopards have sprinted across the map to cap. After that Hetz has had a fleeting glimpse of a Leopard, screaming through the recticle for a fraction of a second, he knows the Leopard is now on the other side of buildings on the flank or behind his lowly Hetz. Meanwhile, even if the Leopard wasn't actually looking, the all-seeing, enemy Arty gods are dropping rounds on the Hetz's bush. And BTW, the minimap is showing two Heavies, that chewed up YOUR precious machine are rolling inexorably down the rail tracks on the OTHER side of the Base.
The radio on the Hetz crackles to life!: "You are the WORST player in the history of WOT!" "I'm gonna team kill you at the start next time we are together!" (another already smoked Tier 7er): "Hell yeah! You Suck Hetzboy!"
How DARE you arrogant jerks critisise the Hetz? ALL HIS CHOICES ARE PROBLEMATIC...and he KNOWS it!
Choice 1: Try to move to a sheltered side of the building to duck Arty Gods. Result: Leopard runs circles around Hetz and the Building and STILL caps...Meanwhile the KV and T-14 are hunting down your two Arty before turning back to collect your Hetz!
Choice 2: Try to stalk Leopard. Result: Leopard darts and dodges, knowing that you've got to turn your slow beast, and will have exactly 0.3 milliseconds to squeeze off a shot that MIGHT hit and MIGHT penetrate. Meanwhile, the Arty Gods AND the damn T-14s have got your Hetz lined up!
Choice 3: Try to get a side shot at the Lumbering Heavy. Hey! A tank as slow as the Hetz! But, Wait! (Crew announces: "the shot failed to penetrate!")...Uh-OH! We've woken up the Heavy! We still are dodging Arty Shells (although we've got nowhere to run...and by "running", I mean waddling between buildings at 8kph!), Oh, and we STILL have that Leopard playing hide and snipe around the buildings and threatening to cap!
So, you aspiring General Pattons, it's easy to abuse the guy that's already in the Hetz shaped coffin. And CERTAINLY, the smoking wreckage of your tank, snuffed 7 minutes ago, is proof that YOU'VE done your duty. And getting killed early has giving you PLENTY of time to spoil the gaming experience of a guy who is merely doing his best to grind his way to a TD that MIGHT survive the next encounter with tanks 4 tiers above him!
I hope this noob's distress has boosted your already too healthy self esteem!
And I also hope you get in my line of fire "accidentally" every time I snipe!
Final note to fellow noobs: Keep plugging! And ignore all those mouthy pricks that are SO inadequate, that they have to tear you down to build their pathetic selfs up! :Smile_honoring:

ARGO: Ah yes, another fine example of the disease known as P.U.T.T.S covered in detail here: My link and it pains me to see what you have addressed over and over but it is a problem. In real life not one of those arm chair Generals would have lasted 5 seconds in a real war and most of the time they don't in game either so they make themselves feel better by barking out nasty commentary to their peers instead of admitting "I screwed up and got my arse handed to me". God knows I wanted at times to say something when I got killed for a dumb reason but I hold my tounge because I really don't know who's on the other end of that internet connection and take the time to put myself in their place. The truth is, you don't really know who's out there and if they are new or have issues so why be a jerk? You don't add anything to the game by making others feel like crap so why bother. But for every one of those loving individuals there are also a few who make humor out of it. Last night I saw a guy in a Maus get pinned between a building and a Tank in Himmelsdorf. Anyone with any seasoning in WoT will tell you that when a Tier X tank goes down it's going to be an expensive loss but this guy instead of flamming and cursing was making jokes about his situation and even though our side lost due to his abscense he had BOTH sides laughing and I mean laughing hard and that's why I keep playing, because of those players.
Agreed?
