This game is full of cheaters

  Are any of us able to spot a better player by their performance?   Nope, thanks to RNG for one thing.   But it's clear that most newbies like the OP will encounter many more players in every battle who have MUCH more of everything that gives them significant advantages that can look like cheating.    I've been researching the players in my battles since beginning this game in late 2016.   There really are many, many players in this game with lots of years playing behind them.
  What those players usually have is not just tens of thousands of battles and the experience and skill that builds, but they also have another better advantage.   Looking at the last battle researched, there were 10 players with over 3 years experience, and that was just on one side.   If you were on the less-blessed side you could expect to almost immediately run into players who have had the time, credits, and understanding of the game to have a thoroughly trained crew.   How many crews do you have with 3+ skills/perks?   Those players seldom are playing tanks that don't have top equipment and that's not just the regular versions of optics, rammers etc, but the 'experimental' versions you can only buy with bonds.   You can bet they have rations if they care too.  And with years and years of rolling over newbies some of them can afford to add on directives.   Directives can pump up either their equipment or their crew.
  This game favors the players with better percentages and more skill.   You're not really going to afford better percentages for years.  And you are going to encounter MANY players whose performance might look like it can only come from cheating, but really just comes from piling on all the enhancements WoT lets them purchase.
  OP, you're going to be in battles often where 2/3 the players on the other side have 10X your experience and a lot of whom have bank accounts that can pay for anything WoT has for sale.   Don't assume they are cheaters simply because they hit what they're aiming at.   They should hit what they aim at and WoT often makes sure they do.   Otherwise they'd quit paying for stuff like smoke screens and air strikes that come from WoT itself.    Air strikes...…………
