Is it possible to play Tier 10 without always playing against these people?

churchill50: The idea is definitely to gradually build your skills as you move up the tiers. That said, tier 10 is still its own ballgame in a lot of ways. You can be pretty good in tiers 8 and 9 and yet be pretty bad at tier 10.The method I used, which I still suggest, is to find a tank that's pretty strong and you like playing (I picked the WZ-111 5A back in the day) and spam 200 games in it. Just playing that much tier 10 in a short time frame can help acclimate you to it.Tanks I would suggest using in the current meta would be the T110E5, S Conq, Vz. 55, Kranvagn, E100, Obj 277, IS-7, and WZ-111 5A. Tanks that are solid, not too difficult to play (as compared to a Leopard I or STB-1), and rather strong.
