PutinDoesPanzers, on 25 April 2011 - 03:49 PM, said: What I'm trying to get at here, is when you are driving certain
tanks you have a responsibility to your team. If you are in an IS4,
you have 14 other people who need you to be there for the team, be
at the front, leading the way. If your IS4 is sitting back at base
because you are not playing this game to win, and feel like looking
at the pretty flowers all game, then the other team is going to
have the upper hand because they have an extra tier9 up at the
front.
People are making mention of words such as "self centered" and "ignorant".. well I can't see anything worse than someone not giving a s--t about their team, because they don't care about winning, they are not playing for the team.
You can call this a silly tank game all you want, but when you step in that tank, you have responsibilities. This is not a single player game, you have 14 other team mates who will be much better off with a teammate looking to win, looking to get you all much better experience, which saves you time and advances you in the game.

ARGO: Putin, I wholeheartedly agree with this argument and trust me, I
have been there more often then not and I too have raged, only
difference is I don't write it in chat. Yes there will always be
players who are not really here to play or get sidetracted glory
hounding or the kill vulturing but there are also players who again
are just new or have never had any opportunities to be in a platoon
so thier skills are learned by the old sink or swim method. My
guess here Putin is that you are very skilled and most likely have
superior game knowledge you could share, I think that a player with
your skills could only gain by sharing that skill and helping shape
would be players into more skilled players.

NormH3, on 25 April 2011 - 02:53 PM, said: No one deserves the kind of crap people like you dole out. If you
are that intent on winning, you need to form a platoon or a company
that has the same vision that you do. Don't expect everyone in a
"pickup game" to have the same intensity. This game is
entertainment for me. I don't have to win to have fun. If you rage
over a silly cartoon tank game, meybe you should try therapy.

Link on message: #494451

ARGO: Agreed, This is a game and not all players are as skilled or have
had serious time to learn all the ins and outs of it. I feel it
much more productive that the learnered players should take this
into account and remember that they were noobs once too. Like the
above post said, form up a company or clan if you want more control
or just try maybe inviting that player that lacks skills into your
platoon with you and maybe if all players did that then new players
could learn better skills. Like I wrote before in this article:
http://forum.worldof...pread-of-putts/ PUTTS is
a disease that spreads and as veteran players we must ALL lead by
example or continue to fall victim to our own self centered
ignorance again and again. Besides, no player here can say they
haven't made mistakes that cost wins and it sure as hell does no
good to any team to berate and flame others.

WMD, on 24 April 2011 - 05:56 PM, said: Seriously
Back in September 2010 in the closed beta I complained that there were no hit boxes for the tops of tanks !
I used a VK3061 with an 88L47 to literally shoot down into the top plate of a JaPzIV and have it bounce off 15mm of armor
Now about an hour ago Iam in an IS with the 122mm cannon and hit the underside of a T-34-85 three times all bounced off. (T34 over railtracks was zipping up and back to spot for arty over the flag. Was shooting up into its belly) 122mm cannon should not be bouncing off 10mm of armor at any range.
Either Iam insanely unlucky or there something seriously wrong with belly and top plate hit mechanics.

clan look good, so you can recruit members.
Having a thread full of breachs of the forum rules, and red moderator text, doesnt really show your clan in a good light.
So I'll close and lock your clan recruiting thread, so you can make another "clean" thread..
Please keep within the forums rules in future. No red, no excessive bumping.

Patch comes out to fix the big glitches and vanishing junk that is
still going on in the game come on get real, I understand you want
to have movement to move gold, but lets get the patches out, as I
still read it is still a beta, even though you stated release to
public patch, and it reads beta still....on the download site, as
you can see by my gold I have spent alot of money to buy gold, and
I would like to see some work done to fixed the problems in the reg
game befor you keep on having these contest........CHEERS
BTW: This is no bitching of the game in general, it is great, but I don't like shooting something after I get him down tp 3% to just vanish, to come up some where else on the map to be shot by some other play that didn't use 5 gold shots to get him to 3%. and one other thing why is it North American servers get all the no english speaking players and I can't jump into or join a ER server ???. or do I have to put in client of the diff Nations ?. which is so lame if that is the case.

I'll assume your intentions are good.
Otherwise it would be classified imo, as advertising spam, and a ban would have been placed.
However, those "fill out surveys and jump over hoops" for some free credits that can be exchanged for whatever.. Are almost always full of spam and other issues etc.. Which imo is not something that wot would be endorsing or recommending people do..
Sure some people wont mind filling out junk spam for a few free $$'s. You seem very happy about it, that its suited yourself..
But still, I don't really want these problems coming onto our forums, to be honest.
So no matter what your intentions were, I'll close and junkyard the thread, with no action taken on the poster.

Link on message: #489537
ZiggyDeath, on 15 April 2011 - 09:12 AM, said: Because the Churchill is a joke for a T5 Heavy. There's a reason
why the Ram-II costs more gold, is a medium and is also T5. The
Churchill doesn't have much horsepower, no armor worth speaking
about, a peashooter and no combat maneuverability. If it was a
late-war Churchill then maybe it'd strike some fear with her 150mm
front plates.

Game Discussion\Gameplay Discussion\Why I won't play my IS
Link on message: #489159
Fum, on 22 April 2011 - 09:39 AM, said: Top end tanks were made this way and will stay this way.
IS-3 and up are made that if you play really well, you can more-or-less not lose money without premium. For example, with my IS-7 without premium, I had to win a battle, receive no more than 20% damage, and kill 2-3 tanks in less than 5 shots in order to earn more than 2k for the match.
High tier tanks are for "whee, pew pew" once every few days after you gather the money. Not for everyday play.
I recommend getting an SPG. They are good at making moderate profits every battle once you spend a few hundred battles learning how to play well.

ARGO: Fum is right, You need to have other tanks to feed that beast. I
myself ran "back in beta" all the way to an IS4 with No premium, No
gold tanks, and No using of gold except to convert to cash for more
tanks and I did it pretty successfully by using my VK3601 to pay
for my heavies I was able to have fun with it a few hours every
night even with no premium. Now and with greater experience of the
tech trees I found that some vehicles make even better $$$ to use
as a way of feeding heavies, Here is a list of some good ones:
Hetzer, StugIII, Sherman E8, SU-85, SU-100, VK3601-3001p.....to name a few. They all have good returns and low repair costs. I hope this helps you.

Is the matchmaker purposefully 'stacking' so that players are forced to maintain a 50% record?
Because if so, thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You're punishing the players who play good by making them lose so you can point to the statistics and say, look, everyones equal.
Anyone else run into this problem?

Overlord: No it doesn't, match-making acts within the designated algorithm
that does not take into account player's win ratio.
Many players are fairly above 50%.
