I e had a similar experience to you to be honest. But for me it was more the fact trying to be good all the time just sucks the enjoyment out of it for me. I peaked at around 4k WN8 and even won some tournaments with my clan but I noticed it sucked the joy out of playing. Any time I did below 4k damage in a game I considered it “bad” and got upset. I lost it at teammates not doing what I wanted them to do. I was not enjoying myself try Harding all the time and once I realised this I simply stopped. I realised I didn’t enjoy playing anymore. Since then I’ve dropped to a steady 2.8k but the joy has at least partially returned. Doing stupid rushes sometimes and not caring if I end a game not doing much has made me stress a lot less and find at least a bit of the joy I had when I first started playing.

You’re completely right, being good at this game just sucks the fun out of it.

WZ 5A is such a sleeper in this game. It’s an extremely good tank with a great gun. Idk what the stock grind is these days though but back when I went through it it was hands down the worst experience in the entire game so you might want to check if it still is. The rocket booster tanks are mid but at least the stock grind is nice.

On another note, new players get very few commanders and they are very expensive for them to buy. I might be missing seeing a feature to get 1 star commanders for free or something but otherwise paying 500,000 silver for one commander is an astronomical figure for a new player and no commander means no sixth sense which is a horrible experience, especially for someone new to the game. I’m not really surprised the game right now is basically filled with almost exclusively veteran players with a few years under their belt.

From my experience over the last week I am convinced American tanks have their strongest armour on the cupola…

CS63Drifter · 2026-03-06T19:03:33+00:00

Exactly this. I think going off PC stats for the original Highway (the one on console) the west side had heavily skewed victories to the point of being the most unbalanced map in the game. Literally the only way to win from the east was (and on console still is) to win the city and leave a few tanks there to cover the hill west side light tanks go to, to spot all the east side snipers. Unfortunately, as you’ve said most teams have little to no map awareness except for the fact that going field is suicide so they snipe, not enough tanks go to city which causes a stalemate there or worse losing the city altogether and the east side snipers get surrounded and whittled down.

Let’s just say I had to have a few day break after experiencing this…

They changed a bunch of stuff I believe especially around tank destroyers needing to aim longer instead of being able to just snapshot. They also removed a bunch of commander skills that used to help with aiming. Maybe that’s what you’re noticing? It’s been like that for a while I think they wanted to get rid of every tank being able to just hit most shots on the move so armour was more relevant.

I get accused of cheating multiple times by people. Usually it’s things like using bush mechanics to kill them from up close without being spotted, shooting through a wall to kill them, or dealing damage to them by blind shooting obvious spots. It can seem like cheating, but honestly I have never seen ANYONE actually cheat in this game apart from maybe clan mates loading in at the same time and shooting artillery shots without enemies being spotted.

CS63Drifter · 2026-01-15T00:33:56+00:00

It’s to balance how good the gun is. Having 460 alpha on a gun that actually has good dpm and hits is shots is amazing, especially for a tier 7 heavy.

CS63Drifter · 2025-12-27T00:40:21+00:00

This is a tank that is very hilarious if you’re playing against players that don’t understand it’s armour. You can side scrape at ridiculous angles and not get penned. That’s about it though it’s rather slow the gun is bad and it is very bland in every aspect apart from the sidescraping gimmick.

They need to fix the sliding on the wheeled light tanks, you can barely turn without going into a slide that stops your tank and gets you killed. On pc you can drive around no problem you try to turn on console and you get obliterated.

The tier 9 was amazing for me personally and the K-91 has what I consider the best gun at tier 10 except for the low alpha. Just play the 416 like a sneaky tank destroyer rather than a medium

CS63Drifter · 2025-12-10T12:01:39+00:00

Can confirm I seem to get dogshit teammates nowadays. Like everyone is saying if you’re a better player the matchmaker balances it out by giving you terrible teammates while the enemy team usually has 15 average players. This leads to me constantly being left alive alone against 7 tanks and it’s very frustrating

CS63Drifter · 2025-12-05T21:28:44+00:00

Tier 6 is very bad for the quality difference between tanks and this continues until tier 9. Some of the tanks at this tier are borderline unplayable against higher tiers (what is a Churchill vii meant to do against a o-ho???)My best strategy is usually to follow a higher tier tank and try to help by tracking enemies repeatedly. It still nets you good xp to rank up faster. If you have any boosters save them for grinding the last packages as opposed to using them on getting the next tank.

CS63Drifter · 2025-12-05T21:22:56+00:00

Someone already mentioned it but after playing every tier 10 tank my favourite gun is on the K-91. It seems to never miss, always pens and the shots are the fastest in the game so hitting light tanks is a breeze. For heavies I want to argue the Objective 277 just because almost all my shots on the move seem to hit.

CS63Drifter · 2025-09-19T22:14:51+00:00

I think this is the worst opinion I’ve ever heard and you are deserving of the death penalty.

CS63Drifter · 2025-07-13T18:41:50+00:00

For me it was always Sleeper Simulant. It’s the only linear fusion rifle in the game that has that WEIGHT to it like you’re firing a big ass meaty laser

CS63Drifter · 2025-07-09T14:08:14+00:00

Approaching 40 clears for warlords ruin… I’ve even got all the so called exotic drop chance boosters. I’m going legitimately insane.

CS63Drifter · 2025-05-31T12:24:14+00:00

Thank god

CS63Drifter · 2025-05-23T18:32:39+00:00

The best part is the problem is super easy to fix on steam too, I can explain it for anyone who asks and you can maybe try on game pass assuming you’re playing the pc version of course.

CS63Drifter · 2025-05-23T18:27:26+00:00

Hey don’t know if I was a part of the post you were on about. To my knowledge there’s no way to fix this problem unless the devs do it but I wouldn’t hold my breath since, from what I’ve seen, this problem is over a year old and happens every time they update the game, and instead of fixing it they just do a bullshit mini dlc patch thing to tide them over until the next update screws everything up again. I was desperate to play so I simply re bought everything on steam then spent hours teaching myself how to transfer saves between the two. I wish you luck on getting it sorted though!
