Tanitha: Imo there's a combination of faults here, the game and light tanks
(since warping was fixed recently), and a "learn to play" deal.
With the current light tanks problem, there was "warping" in game, So moving tanks didn't have their positions updated enough, so if they were at a distance they weren't really where they were meant to be. So light tanks then had a role of scouting, the PZIIIA's were good scouting tanks, With their speed they could get in, scout for your arty, kill the enemy arty, and get paid a lot in a short period of time. But since the warping was fixed, they are a lot easier for the bigger tanks to target, and snipe, so they aren't lasting as long, and scouting is a lot harder. Light tanks need buffing one way or another, to come back into their scouting roles.
As for the learn to play situation, There is many things that will make a player successful or not, and after only a few days playing, you probably aren't aware of these techniques yet, they come with experience.
Some of the basics are.
1. Tanks Armour is different everywhere. Auto aim aims at the turret which is usually the most defended section. you need to work out the enemy tanks weak spots and aim for them, often with "shift" and zoom enabled. Like manholes, machine gun ports, the hull and not the turret, etc. You also need to aim at flat spots on not angled spots etc.. Then you might start hitting/damaging more.. But still there is only so much a small gun can do, so if you cant penetrate a enemies Armour, there is always HE ammo, which usually damages without penetrating.
2. You can change your target reticule, so it displays penetration chance, green decent chance, orange iffy, red, probably not. This will help you learn where to aim.
3. You also need to pick your targets, if you are a small tank, you go after the enemies smaller tanks, and leave the bigger ones alone. Or anything can kill the enemy artillery, so they are always a good target.
4. No matter what tank you have, you will always be up against bigger tanks. unless you have a T10 heavy or something similar. Even then you will be matched up against another T10 heavy, so its still going to be balanced team wise. The main thing you need to realize and know is how exp and credits is paid. Its paid by comparing your tier/level to the tier/level of the tanks you are shooting. You get paid for damage not kills. So you doing 10% to a tank a lot bigger than you, probably will pay you a lot more than that tank will get for one shot killing you who is below their level. So really the higher your tier, the lower you will get paid. The most beneficial tier of tanks is about T5's. Also the person doing the damage isn't paid the credits, 1/2 is paid to the shooter, and 1/2 is paid to the spotter if the shooter cant spot the target themselves. So all you really need to do is camp at a rock near the enemy base, while you are scouting the enemy, and as the bigger tanks get paid their 1/2 for shooting, you get your 1/2 for scouting for them. + your level bonus for the level difference between you and whats killed.
5. another little point is don't sell all your tanks, so when you die, exit the battle, hop onto another tank, and play 3 games in the time you are currently playing 1 at the moment. 3x the profit will help speed things up, as long as you only work on upgrading one of them at a time.
Looking at your stats in game, they are pretty bad, 212 games and 156 average exp. Player stats are here for all to look at, so not like im leaking anything. http://game.worldoft...5325-LaiDragon/ The point is there is lots of room for improvement for you. The T28 you have atm, i averaged 350 exp a game in, and i only played it for 31 games before I dumped it for a bigger tank. They don't take long to obtain. Especially now while you are getting 500 free gold a day, that converts to 200k credits. Or you could save for 30 days premium for 2500 gold, but until you are getting your exp earned per game up a lot, premium is probably a bit of a waste at the lower levels, but you will need it soon if you play a bit... You should be zooming through these lower levels though a lot quicker than you are.
Asking in game chat what others earned in their T28 on average, they mostly were stating figures around 280exp a game average. Either way 30-40 games and you should be out of it.
So i played these. (on the medium russian line)
T34 387exp ave and 78 games
T34-85 423exp ave and 182 games
T43 566exp ave exp and 225 games
T44 625exp ave and I stayed with this tank for ages.
My average exp on these tanks is probably a bit low, because I didn't max them and play them while maxed, i just played them long enough to get to the next tank, so I wasn't playing in good maxed tanks.
So anyway keep at it, I hope the above helps you play better and get more enjoyment out of the game.
