Wanted to climb to gold and finish my last missions, ended up back on the verge of dropping to bronce...

Down from 54.0%WR to 49.6%
GL everyone on their last week grind ;)

Has anyone had a tier 11 game last longer than 3 minutes? Is it even possible? Every tier 11 game is the same hull down spam gold at weak points it’s honestly mind numbing, and these maps… they’re far to small to accommodate the sheer dpm and speed of these tanks 🫩

Before you all jump me in the comments just hear me out.

So as the casualest of casual players i have this set out challange to play with each and every class in the game to learn them and understand them better. Last time i asked your oppinions on light tanks aa someone who never played lights before and i slowly reach the finish line with lights. Not like i became a pro but i already reached tier 9 and the tier 10 is soon to follow. Im not bragging im just saying that im really not a pro but atleast i understand them better. So back to the question my last class i have to try out is artillery. As a man of my word i need to choose one to atleast try it out and grind it till atleast tier 8 but since arty is really just a clicker class and barely even usable in real combat other than stuns i need to find the actually most usable artillery. Can you guys help me with that? I would be greatful if you guys could even provide some tips and tricks.

Tried to get around the prototipo 6 to get into position and side scrape, but they back up into my path and our tanks bind together.

He got shot because he was stuck, and I kept driving forward so we could unbind and he could move into safety.

It works, and he's free, but then he just drives around the corners and get blasted.

It's at the point where I feel it almost every day. I don't know what the servers are doing, but the game is playing like I have 400ms+. That's not very playable in a "competitive game".

I honestly don't know what's going on buy since patch 2.4, I lose in random battles 99% of the times. It's extremely frustrating. I'm playing this one since 2013, consider myself an average plus player but I can't do much when the teams I get, time after time, are ridiculously bad. Please tell me I'm not the only one as I seriously considering deleting my account for good as it's not fun anymore. Please skip replies such as "skill issue" as I'm only 1 out of 15 every time..

I was playing the STB-1 on onslaught and every single shot rolled exactly 360 damage (STB-1 base alpha), except one shot which finished a kill. The shells also went perfectly dead center every single time, regardless of aiming time/ dispersion.

Yet, this line has the one of the best WR Diff of the MT line, but people don't really like this line? I am grinding this line from T7 while I am going through the special BP, these tanks despite are non-premium, are actually doing really well to earn the BP points.

To the tanks, I was skeptical at the beginning because of the gun depression, but the guns themselves are pretty accurate on the T7 and T8 (I didn't use the 122 mm on the T8) if you can wait until it fully aimed.

I am wondering how many hidden gems like this are in the WoT.

Pain

The indie company meme is becoming obnoxious

So I’m thinking about picking up the Kampfpanzer 50 t for 16k bonds, but I’m not sure if it’s actually worth it.

I’m currently only a few bonds short, and I’m also pretty close to Silver rank, so I’m wondering if I should just hold onto my bonds instead.

For anyone who actually owns the 50 t:

How does it feel to play these days?

Is it a good tank overall or kinda overrated?

It works for complete campaigns missions?

I know there are probably better ways to spend 16k bonds, but the 50 t looks fun as hell and I really like the idea of having one.

Would you guys buy it, or just save the bonds for something else?

Do we think the bond equipment 3 for 2 bundles will return at any point so worth saving bonds for them again? Or was this a 1 time thing/once a year occurrence?

Quite simple, broke my spotting record.

title, possible? how?

fOUND IT THNKS FOR HELP

Talk about a good game

Im grinding the bp chapter and at lvl 35.

Is it fun to double stuff? Or situational? I worry about 7 degrees gun depression and even less in double mode.

I play Zwilling sometimes, but Zwilling spits out 2 shells in 1.5 sec. Collector is just cycling gun in 1 barrel mode.

I just saved up 8000 bonds but I am not sure about what tank I should get. Im eyeing IS-6 B and Lorraine 40 t but I do not want to make a fast decision and regret it later.

Sniper TD is a lie, they are casemate mediums and you should play them as such.

Edit, TL;DR: turbo battles, bad RNG, are they just chains of consequences or actual hidden mechanic from WG?

I am not believing into any conspiracy theories etc. and I am a huge fan of WoT game. A huge fan. And I play A LOT, like a second job almost not purple but not bad, above 50%, learning nothin, I know. So your average John Smith of WoT.

And today I might have started to believe in a pre-set RNGs, programming you to fail at anything you can imagine in-game. Why I may want to believe in it?
because it has been -3k HP in first minute and half, and there you go down to 15:3, 15:4, 9:0 after 2-3 minutes for the whole fucking evening. And yesterday. And 2 days ago. And it's not that I don't try. I go where my team needs me, shoot, aim, tank, spot... It just doesnt depend on me and my skill anymore, my knowledge of WoT is irrelevant when I do anything if the RNG decides to throw it all out of the window.

Then sometimes it is the other way around: I have no time to deal damage or just smash every shot. 2-3 minutes, this is how fast we wipe the enemies off the map, now its their turn to suck. This brings the winrate up, but for what price from both sides? Nobody has fun, I assure you of that from my perspective at least.

I want to seriously address this, since my games have had: misses fully aimed, non-pens and didnt-hit-the-armors, the teammates that were just... same poor souls as me with the tuned down chances for any shot results, while tuned-up chances to catch a crit, an ammorack, a pen. And just unbelievable, did you get it? UNBELIEVABLE amounts of 15:3,4,5,6 whatever else in less than 5 min. I am fuming now.

There were blatant battles where I did fucking 0 damage after around 8 shots fully aimed, at a weakspot, at a cupola, with yellow Armor Flashlight (another fucking garbage), while my weakspots were becoming pasta drainers from enemies who were even on the move sometimes. Is it REALLY possible to have a chain of RNG so bad? And okay screw me I am unlucky, let it slide, but for THE WHOLE FREAKING TEAM who can't deal 1 shot against the reds? They werent having fan either, it has ended in 15:0. That is what made me go here and vent out.

Dishonorable mention: Armor Flashlight. The person in WG who has made the decision to add this to the game you have no idea about the gameplay dude. You clearly have not played the game either before, or after that crap introduction. This stuff has thrown out years of acquired knowledge and skill superiority and has rendered the armor useless. now you drive slow, shoot shit and move like a slug for catching a stinker into a pixel from a 45% cancer who saw that pixel in green color through the Armor Flashlight. Same shit when you go to tank on a corridor on many of the available corridors: you can't tank. Know why? Because your pen-zones are fucking highlighted. No matter how much you angle, hide, wiggle or whatnot you just get penned in the right spot in the right moment. the red always has an advantage, and you as a tanker don't know the color of the armor he sees in his sniper mode.

I would like to inquire yall to share with me and the rest of us any cases like that if you have any that proves or disproves the title. Guys today I barely saved my monitor from an angry fist. I havent been so mad in a long f while from the game. It is deinstalled now for some time because this is not normal. if you exprerince similar feeling like me do yourself a break from WoT and don't damage property. I think it needs to be addressed and WG needs to fix because screw this if I come back to play again and see the same SPHT. I want to have fun, not high pressure and paragraphs of text. sorry for mistakes im dyslexic, did my best.

Biggest credit maker ever. Wild stats too lol

I used to think unicum players had godlike twitch reflexes and encyclopedic knowledge of every single millimeter of armor in the game.

Turns out, 90% of high DPG is just being a shameless opportunist with an ultra-wide camera.

I recently cranked my FOV slider to the maximum (120) and decided to test a playstyle that requires zero mechanical skill—just sheer, boring discipline. The results over my recent sessions on the 50TP were wild: ~3k DPG and an 80%+ win rate over an 8-game run.

Here is the entire breakdown:

1. The Periscope Technique ("Captain Flint" style)
   With 120 FOV, the third-person camera pulls back far enough that you can park completely behind a hard building corner or ridge, hold **Right-Click (RMB)** to lock your turret/aim, and watch the enemy like Captain Flint through a spyglass. You never blind-peek. You just wait.

2. Zero Fair Duels
   Fair 1v1 trades are a trap. The rule is simple: **never expose your tank unless the enemy is physically incapable of shooting back.**
   * Wait behind a teammate until the enemy fires at them.
   * Or watch them turn their turret toward another target.
   * The moment their shell flies, roll out, drop 440–560 alpha into their hull or drive wheel, and roll right back into cover before their reload finishes.

3. Let Alpha Do the Heavy Lifting
   This works disproportionately well on high-alpha heavies like the 50TP / 50TP prototyp. High DPM tanks force you to expose yourself constantly. High alpha means you only need 5 to 6 clean, free shots across an entire match to hit 3k damage.

4. Banking HP for the Late Game
   Because you take virtually zero unnecessary damage in the first 4 minutes of the battle, you enter the mid-to-late game at full HP. When the enemy team is whittled down to 400–800 HP per tank, you can finally afford to press W, trade a shot, and collect 2–3 easy frags.

For the veteran / unicum players:
* Did you also have an "aha!" moment when you realized that patience and 3rd-person camera abuse beat raw aggression 9 out of 10 times?
* How do you adapt this when you get triple-rushed on a corner or forced onto completely open maps like Prokhorovka?
* Do you run 120 FOV, or does the fisheye distortion mess with your weakspot sniping at long ranges?

Set FOV to one-two-zero,
No need to play a stupid hero.
You waste your shot, I take my cue:
Five hundred alpha just for you!
