on a even field? same for tier 8 vs tier 10. there are just too
many encounters where you cannot do anything. whats the
point? whats so balanced about feeding higher tiers with low tier
scrap metal junk tanks with 260hp and such facing a monster like
kv-1?

5. If you're in a tier 3 don't try to fight the tier 5 heavy
head on, that's their main strength. Instead try to get
beside and behind them to get your shots. Tier 8 can easily
do well in a tier 10 match so long as the player knows their tank
and knows the map. You should also know what you can't and
can't penetrate and use that to your advantage. Again looking for
flanking shots and shots from the rear. The enemy tier 10s should
be focusing on your tier 10's or tier 9's. Beig the lower
tier tanks in match ups like that is all about supporting. You
can't lead the charge.

Ectar: I've sold the Centurion 7/1 twice. This is the third time
I've owned it and I don't plan to sell it again as it's now my
favourite tank! I sold the Panther II because I just couldn't get
it to work (I was too used to playing the Pershing at the time).
Tanks I've sold to fund other tanks (which I now
regret) Pershing Patton Panther E-50 The next time a
sale is up for tier 7 or 8 (a tier 8 sale might be a while
away 
) I'll get the Panther, Panther II
and Pershing again.

Tier 9 and Tier 10 games
22.07.2014 12:51:30
Subject: Tier 9 and Tier 10 games
Link on message: #8597051
Link on message: #8597051
Ectar: At tier 10 you don't have higher tier tanks will better guns/armour
HP, so the tier 10 players are the ones expected to carry/do well.
If you're playing tier 9 all the time you'll get games with
tier 8's and sometimes even tier 7 where you can do some terrible
terrible damage. With tier 10 your opponents will be tougher
and will hit harder. TI's not as easy as everyone thinks it is to
make the switch and things like knowing when to track someone and
knowing when to go for a damaging shot are pretty important. Also
knowing where the main engagement area's are for each map and what
kind of cover is needed is vital too. Basically at tier 10 everyone
needs to do their part and it's the type of matches where you
should have the most experienced players.

strength and you should be behind other tanks. Going hulldown
is effective but again you really want to be in a situation where
there is other tanks in your team are in front of you. Some
TD's can get away with sitting in a bush but for the T30 you really
want hard cover you can retreat behind. You have the advantage over
other TD's at that level with your turret so make the most of it.
Many tier X TD's don't have clearance to shoot over things.
It can be a misleading tank to play as people try to play it
like a heavy with big alpha damage, but the problem is that it
doesn't have heavy armour. Try looking for some high damage
replays on Worreplays. I find that can sometimes be helpful

Ectar: No one should say you don't know how to play tie 9 TD's, but
these 2 tanks have totally different play styles from the T30 as
both tanks have strong frontal armour and can trade shots.

Monday evening than Friday evening. On Friday most people go
out and socialise with friends/family. People go to cinema, they go

they go to bars etc. On Monday people have the weekend

Good All-Round Tank?!?!?!?

Subject: Good All-Round Tank?!?!?!?
Link on message: #8566227
Link on message: #8566227
Ectar: Tier 3 - I quite enjoyed the T-46 it was a nice low tier
tank to play Tier 4 - The Luch with it's machine gun can cause
havoc to higher tier tanks and it's nice and fast Tier 5 - M4
Sherman has a good mix of mobility and gun choices. T-34 is also a
hugely popular tank along with the KV-1 (however KV-1 is slow).
Tier 6 - KV1S is fairly mobile, has decent armour and a beast
of a top gun, it's let down by accuracy/aim time but it's a really
good all rounder Tier 7 - I like the Panther and Comet, the Panther
lacks gun depression however and the comet lacks armour. T-43 is
worth a shout too. Tier 8 - M26 Pershing. Nice speed, great view
range, turret is forward on the hull so good for hull down, turret
is well armoured. AMX 50 100 for it's damage output and speed it
sacrifices armour however, IS-3 for it's armour/gun combo and
decent speed. T32 for same reasons as IS-3 Tier 9 - M46 Patton same
reasons as the Pershing. Tier 10 - T110E5, IS-7, E4 TDn (limited
turret traverse however) I've tried to base this list on
what the tanks have as a whole package. Whilst there is tanks with
better guns or armour in certain tiers, the trade off they usually
have is their are slow. If a tank is a good all rounder it
need to be capable of doing multiple roles, the slow tank will
always loose out in that respect. Your main things to look
for is heavy-mediums or medium-heavies. If it's a med it need
to have the armour and if it's a heavy it needs the
mobility/agility. Only a few tanks fit that role. Non
turreted TD's I've excluded because in almost every situation
possible, having a turret is a massive advantage over not having
one.

thousands of people expecting things to get updated and is
perfectly happy with that, its more personal and better climate in
chat in my opinion. We even have one person in S3AL (not our thread
tho ) that lives on his streaming. It
still doesnt mean every unicum that opens his mouth wants to do the
same, its a really weak thing to say. Not everyone wants to be
famous, most just wants to play this game well and focuses on that
with success. "The ball is in their court to step up and do
their own video/stream/guide yet barely anyone does do that an
instead continue to make noise from the sidelines." Make
noise from the sidelines? They sure cant make noise in the center
because apparently what I have heard is that you get insta-banned
from his stream-chat if you say anything that questions his
statements or gameplay, his mods is real power hungry
kids accusing whole communities for trolling. Honestly Ectar,
you cant be serious that unless someone "steps up and do their own
video/stream/guide" they have no right to disagree with what one of
the most known WoT player says? It happends in the real
world too with people that are exposed in media. I have never heard
that someone has to get its own TV-show to disagree with something
a host says to not be called troll, jealous and sideline
noiser? Ectar: "most just wants to play this game well and focuses on that
with success." That's true. And most also want/need to
be entertaining when they do that. 2 years ago barely anyone
streamed this game. Now lots of people stream but to build an
audience you can't just play the game without talking to your
viewers or having something to keep their attention. Anyone can
stream the game, but you need to have something to keep people
watching otherwise it's pretty boring. Everyone has a
choice when watching Twitch streams, the big obvious one is you can
either watch the stream or not. There is loads of streamers
out there (Not World of Tanks related) who's opinions I don't
care about and funnily enough, I don't watch their stream and pay
them zero attention. If there is a World of Tanks streamer
you don't like or who's opinions you disagree with, then don't
watch them. It's natural that if you're in someone's stream to mock
them, argue with them, or tell them their opinion is wrong (always
a silly thing to do), that they're not necessarily going to care
for your opinion or have time for you. For some of these guys
this is a source of income for them and if people who are watching
are there just to wind them up, they're going to ignore those
people pretty quick.

1 viewer or 5 it doesnt matter to me about popularity. To get the
same kind if viewers as quickybaby you need: 1. A webcam constantly
filming your face with audio 2. Showing reactions people want to
see 3. A schedule that you fallow to the minute 4. Make some
youtube vids to attract more people I dont want that, all i
care about is that handful of viewers that only care about

Ectar: You're right I don't get your point. All I'm getting is "I
want to stream, but I don't want to do it like the others do it" -
I don't use a webcam and don't really plan to start using one.
Lirik who is a well known streamer doesn't use a camera....
If you won't stream because you're audience isn't instantly over
100, then you're never going to get anyway and you're just going
round in circles. I don't understand why someone who has a
schedule or who uses a camera is somehow deemed as being
"unfair" or having and advantage. Make your stream worth watching
and people will stay! There is no "fairness" when it comes to
getting an audience, it's like people watching TV. If the content
is boring for whatever reason people won't hang around.
There is still no getting round the fact that anyone who's popular
now wasn't popular then and everyone had to start from the same
place. Now to everyone. - Having different opinions
is perfectly fine. Telling someone their opinion is wrong will
never end well, especially when your angle is essentially "I know
better". Pushing a channel or streamer by taking a pop at
another streamer is a pretty lame tactic. As I've said
multiple times already if you don't like someone's content for
whatever reason, then don't watch it. If you're going to
watch it just for the sole purpose of pointing out everything they
do wrong or everything you disagree with, don't be surprised when
the host doesn't care for your views or their followers take
offence. It's sad to see thread like this existing on the
forums as they are nothing more than drama bait hoping that fans of
the streamer will step in to defend them. For that reason I'm now
closing the thread as I think it's ran it's course and it's no
longer productive without the same things being said over and over.
TL:DR thread = Popular streamer thinks tier X
med will perform less in new patch due to 2 other medium tanks
getting buffs. - Some players totally disagree with the wording and
feel the tank is still very good. - We didn't need 6 pages for
that.

But you will also be banned for going around their traffic block.Ectar: You're making it seem like the people streaming now got a
free pass. It took QB until having about 1500 concurrent viewers
before he got his partnership and he was the first WoT stream to do
so. Now players are able to get partnerships with much lower
concurrent viewer numbers. The only way to get the viewers
is to stream. Sounds silly but many people think they can just jump
in and start at 500 viewers or something. I've streamed 3
times recently, twice I peaked at about 150, for the most part I
hovered at about 100. If I want more viewers I have to stream
more, I can't just say "Meh they're thottling me, this is unfair" -
It's no different to what every other player is going through out
there. You can stream to twitch easy without a partnership
account. Lots of players do it now and the ones with a partnership
account had to do it first too.

to automatically labelled a friend of QB and a fanboy. If
you had watched either of us on Thursday streaming you would have
known I was giving him stick about those comments. I am
serious however that if people who are just going to criticise
people who stream for having a different point of view, then yes,
please step up and show us how it's done. i will promote you, I
will reach out to you. I won't do that however if your stream
is just you swearing or insulting non stop at other players or the
main source of your stream is using tired old jokes that are
essentially a pop at another streamers and your chat is filled
with profanities. I want more people to stream. I want more
people to educate our players so people play better. I don't
want a group of players to do the whole "You should listen to
me because I have stats" angle. - How you say something has far
more impact that what you say and no one likes a player and
especially a group of players being elitist. You guys know
when you post stuff that is against any popular streamer on
the forums, you'll get replies from players who enjoy their
streams. Fishing for drama like this isn't cool.
