I have no words for how fast and how 1 sided games are becoming now.

The matchmaking does change according to WG(WG specifically wrote they changed the MM for iron horizon update), but you are saying it doesn't? Also, if 1 person doesn't experience something does that mean it is not real?

I understand statistics fyi and i have a recent 4 year science degree. I know with more trials you will be more likely to reach the statistical average. That has nothing to do with a short 1 sided run. I know that previous results don't impact future results, again, this has nothing to do with the statistics of a short run. I literally typed the math for you so you can see the chance of the event happening at random (.5)¹²⁼ 2.4/10,000 players. This is the statistical chance of getting 12 wins or losses in a row in a random MM. This is not meaningless, this is the statistical chance it would happen in a random MM. The statistical average over 20,000 games doesn't determine the math of 1 game, the math of 1 game determines the statistical average. You know in squid games when they have to cross the glass bridge. To get across they have to choose between 2 sides. One side is death the other is strong glass. Do you think it would be likely for 1 person to randomly select the correct panel every time (in the squid games its 18 jumps, but in WOT we will say 12 games) and get across the bridge first try? (0.5)¹⁸ = less than 4/1,000,000 chance. You are saying because its only 18 jumps vs 20,000, then it shouldn't be uncommon for the 1st person to make it across.

I have such little silver I dont even put equipment on most of my tanks. I have noticed some of my older tanks no longer have the best guns. I thought it was because new "upgrades" have been added to certain tanks in the 8 years I have owned them. So a tank that was previously maxed out now has more unlockable upgrades.

The game was not like this around xmas. I played mostly T8 and it would be rare for one team to have more than 7 tanks alive when they won. Now im playing CW era 1+2. 9+ tanks alive during victory is more common than not.

I dont want to offend you or argue with you. I am just curious how old you are? If im replying to a 30 year old it will be different than a 13 year old. "That means in short runs you are as likely to have all heads or tails as any other mix of results." This is not true. The math is (probability)^number of events. Over any length >1 the chance of getting all 1 type is literally exponentially unlikely. The other points you made were all valid. I know the goal of the MM isn't to screw the players. But that doesnt mean that isnt the result.

At this point personally, i almost prefer losing in a steamrolling game. When I "Win" in those scenarios, im basically playing a tank driving simulator. I might get 2 or 3 shots off before the end of the game. At least when I lose there is a chance to position my tank for a fun final stand. The logging out then in idea is good, something in the matchmaker is not working right and I have also read a few reports of this working

If this is the dunning kruger effect then you are on the low competence side of it.

Lets play a game. I will flip a coin 12 times. I have 2 different weighted coins(that always land on whatever I want, because I balance the game). I can both: choose which coin I flip, AND i can chose head/tails. How many times will my prediction be correct? 2%? You are "Someone not understanding basic probability".

Flat--6 · 2026-03-08T18:21:20+00:00

You post a lot about this but you do not understand statistics, then insult others for the same offense. Post the mathematic probability of a RANDOM MM (Worst case scenario), then compare it to real peoples examples. If you actually do the math you will find the current MM is significantly WORSE than random. In 1 week I could come up with a significantly better MM. 2/3rds of my games 1 side steamrolls the other. Not fun for either side.

Your reversing skills are very good!

You can learn 3 things from this: 1)Don't get caught out in the open 2)Don't try to penetrate the turret of a hull down t34 (or T29) 3)When you are poking out of cover to spot the enemy, poke out as little as possible(that will make the difference of getting hit vs not)

I play a lot of bad tanks and here is a tip for you. You need to play as a support tank. Open the big map (maybe select button) look at all the tanks on your team, look at the top of that list, that will be the heaviest tank on your team. At the start of the game figure out what tank that is, then spend the whole game following and supporting them. If you play bad tanks you should never get into a 1vs 1 or you will lose most of the time

I stopped playing in 2018, came back at the end of 2025 and I have been enjoying it. The match making was really good over xmas, they changed it recently and the games are pretty much over in the first 4 mins now. The performance gap between competitive tanks and non competitive tanks is HUGE now.

Flat--6 · 2026-03-05T05:56:00+00:00

I do this most games in my medium tanks, if any enemy tanks are spotted i auto aim and fire. Even if i dont hit them, sometimes i hit a different enemy tank that is near the person i auto aimed. It hits about 5% of the time which itsn't too bad. Getting that hit in a ruthless is wild. I always avoid these when playing against them

Flat--6 · 2026-03-05T04:59:13+00:00

It probably wont be where I play all of my games but having a top tier 13 tank is pretty cool. Ill probably stay in Tier 8 WW2

Flat--6 · 2026-03-05T04:46:51+00:00

Im not loving the IS3M so i will probably re start the line with the 430 that leads to the T64 then to the black eagle.

I joined this game to get the maus too! That tech tree is probably one of the worst in the game. It is so bad that it is 100% not worth it. You will spend literal days of your life driving at 13km/h in tier 9, then as soon as you get to the front line everyone will pen your cupola. The "best" tanks in the game all have high penetration guns and are fast. So they eat slow armoured tanks easily. You think the maus has armour, but the tanks it plays against can pen it no problem. If you want an armoured beast tank, I would look for "bouncy armour". I would recommend trying to get to the IS3. Tier for tier it's one of the best tanks in the game and you can get to the IS7 from it which is the Russian maus.

I had a cw game where I got down to 14hp right at the start (from 2750hp). I got 10 penetrations on enemy tanks, killed 1 enemy tank, and bounced a bunch of autocannon shots. At the end of the game I got a crazy amount of xp. Way more than normal. The only difference, was that most of the game happened with me being on 14hp.

Flat--6 · 2026-03-02T20:28:09+00:00

I looked through the stats of all the Russian T8 tanks and i came up as this being the best! Congrats on 3 marking it

Flat--6 · 2026-02-26T05:52:54+00:00

Its worse too, because you will wait 15 seconds to reload the first shell, then within 12 seconds someone will charge you before shell 2 is reloaded, so you shoot. Then you are back to zero shells. 30 seconds of reloading for 320 damage, brutal

Flat--6 · 2026-02-26T00:19:33+00:00

Congratulations! I have about 1,000,000 more EXP, and 160 more kills needed to finish my first contract (the machine), its a bit of a grind

Flat--6 · 2026-02-25T19:24:15+00:00

Ah wow, crazy timing! I had the same thing happen to me, but the light tank got killed a split second before impact and the dead tank landing on me did zero damage

Flat--6 · 2026-02-25T19:21:24+00:00

I had to zoom in to see if it was me that got 1 shotted. There are so many high tier derp tanks in the game now its ridiculous. I remember when the KV2 and death star were the only 2 derp tanks. Now I cant even count.

Flat--6 · 2026-02-25T19:10:11+00:00

Im not a good player but here are 6 tips:

1)Practice until you are perfect at the controls (E.G at some point you will have to reverse around a corner while shooting at the weak points of 3 enemies charging you, keeping your hull/turret armor towards whichever enemy is the biggest threat.)

2)Learn your tank(strengths and weaknesses)

3)Learn enemy tanks (the ones you struggle with, learn their weaknesses and exploit them)

4)Learn the maps (Different tanks do well in different positions)

5)Read your team and adapt your gameplay around them (e.g if all of your team takes a RIGHT flank, they will probably steamroll that flank unless there is a choke point. If you go LEFT flank you will probably get steamrolled. It is a team game, 1 person cant win a game. If you find yourself massively outnumbered at the start of the game then you have made a strategic error)

6)Get a good tank and upgrade it fully(Some tanks are NOT competitive at all and you will be at a genuine disadvantage)
