Playing vs higher tier tanks

I suppose I should forgive you for not actually taking the time to read my original post. After all, it'd be pretty difficult to post as many prick responses as you do if you actually took the time to read everything the OP wrote before writing out an utterly nonconstructive "lurn 2 play n00b" reply. 


macfloam, on Nov 25 2014 - 23:08, said: I'm sorry, is this the tips and help sub-forum? Because I thought it was the Suggestions forum...which is what I gave....SUGGESTIONS. Again, I realize that actually reading a post will seriously cut into your "rip a n00b a new one" time, but if you actually look at my original post, I think you will find that the suggestions are very reasonable. I'm not asking to be able to one-shot a T5 heavy with a frontal shot in a T3 medium. However, if I shoot that T5 in the rear or back, I'd like to at least deal some damage. Even if I was allowed to score 50% penetrations, it'd still take me 20+ shots to kill it (since my dmg vs his health is still ridiculously low).

Sure, just being helpful won't give you the same smug satisfaction that comes from being an elitist prick, but newer players like myself will respect you a whole lot more (and also be far more likely to actual read what you write).

Other than the suggestion that I check out your guides, you have said nothing helpful, or that contributes to the original ideas presented in this post! Stop looking for opportunities to belittle what you perceive as my lack of intelligence, skill, or whatever character flaws you imagine I have for 10 seconds. Now, use those 10 seconds to ask yourself this, "Is the gap between T3 and T5 too much?", because the original point of this post is that it is, and therefore either the T3s need a boost (only when grouped with T5s), or the MM should stop grouping them.    Look at it another way. If I was in a T5 and you were in a T3 UK Medium, do you think you could beat me? While I'm not the no-brainer n00b most posters in this thread assume I am, I am clearly far less experienced and skilled at this game than you are. That's an assumption of course, but I feel it's a pretty safe one. Even if you're only half as good as you seem to think you are, that's still a hell of a lot better than me. Now, I'm pretty sure that for all my lack of skill, I could still one-shot you, and in my opinion, there's something seriously wrong with that. If no amount of skill can close the gap between a T3 and a T5, then I believe the gap is too large. I'm asking that the gap be reduced. THAT is the point of this thread, and is precisely why it's posted in the Suggestions sub-forum!

At no point have I ever claimed to be an expert at WoT. I assume from your replies that English is your first language, so I fail to understand how you read, "I know how to play" as "I'm the best player ever and therefore don't want any advice". I do know how to play, but will be the first to admit that I'm far from an expert. I suppose I could have stated that in my original post, but it'd kind of redundant since my number of battles is also listed.
