General Tournament Ideas and Suggestions

Dachadan, on 30 January 2014 - 12:06 AM, said: Tournaments can be used for experimentation with Team Battle mode.   In my opinion current Team Battle is generally OK, but it could use some tweaking. You can organize tournament with Team Battle rules with some small modification, and after tournament you can ask players what they think about introduced modification.   My main complain about current Team Battle rules is that they do not stimulate diversity. WOT is game with HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES but in Team Battle you can mostly see about TEN DIFFERENT tanks being used. Five tier 8 tanks (mostly heavy IS-3, AMX 50 100, T32 and AMX 13 90 or T69) and two T1's. Very rarely one TD and almost never ARTY. I think that WG should at least try to stimulate use more different tanks.   My suggestion is to do small adjustment, JUST INCREASE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TIER POINT FROM 42 TO 45. Adding just 3 tier point to the maximum would options to replace one of teams T1's with:   1. TIER 4 SCOUT. In tier 4 there is best selection of true scouts: A-20, T-50, Pz. II Luchs, Pz 38 (t) n.A., M5A1 Stuart, and they all have good camo bonus, are really FAST, have much better view range than T1, and some of them have guns with 130 mm pen which would give them chance to do some damage to tier 8.   2. TIER 4 ARTY. Tier 4 artys like M37, Pz.Sfl. IVb and AMX 105 AM mle.47 do not hit hard, but they have good RoF, aim time, range and traverse arc. This would give chance to arty experts to show their skill, and would discourage camping at one spot. I think that introduction of tier 4 arty would make games more dynamic, especially on maps like Abbey.   This modification would not be hard to implement in current Team Battle interface. WG can test couple of modification, like this one, through tournaments, to see reaction of players and their influence on game dynamics.
