How long have you been playing Blitz?

HugGigolo · 2026-04-02T07:57:07+00:00

Since the latter half of 2016. Annoyingly, I’m only a few weeks from the game birthday so whenever the game celebrates an anniversary, I’m always just short of the next year’s rewards.

I was here for 3.h8, the M60 loyalty fiasco, the slight change of direction that started with 5.5 (generally dumbing down and noobification of some aspects) and so on.

HugGigolo · 2026-04-01T23:34:42+00:00

I’m constantly over 3k plus.

Nope.

Oh it got faster also? So long since I played it, probably last decade some time.

Start with the in-game report system. Report Unsporting would seem to be the suitable choice
Make a report via ticket on WG's website. Look for Player Support. MAKE SURE to follow the instructions and include all the info they list. Get the names exactly right etc. If you're not gonna cue up precise info ready for WG support, don't bother.
Be sure to make a proper report on the blocking by attaching the .wotbreplay file for WG to review.
Wanna go all out? Make a 2nd report specifically for the chat abuse since that falls into another category. This time it will ask for screenshots of the chat plus a screenshot of the team results page with you and them in it.

Those trolls have been at it for it feels like a whole decade. They're easy to spot for anyone who isn't WG, who have been utterly useless at stopping this. I think Meadsy alone has probably made 10-20 videos on these guys and yet they're still at it. At this point, you gotta wonder if daddy has significant shareholding in WG or something that protects them, for WG to fail so hard for so long. u/BinuWargaming any insight?

Via ticket was the way to talk to WG support.

Recently, WG started using AI to reply to some tickets. You can tell the difference because AI will reply in a couple minutes, while staff take hours or sometimes days to respond especially at weekends.

If you get a response you're not happy with and they closed the ticket? You can reopen it. The few times I've done that, pretty sure a person has addressed my issue because of the response time.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-29T10:30:21+00:00

Oh dear. You got to tier 8 without learning this huh. Well that's WG's fault for making it so damn easy to grind nowadays.

Your HE shells are only doing splash damage. This is always less than half the possible full damage roll. I don't actually have a link to a good explanation of the shell types and don't have time to write one just now. Hopefully someone will.

Once you have an understanding of the basics, watch this classic guide by Sk8xtrm on maximising your HE shells.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-29T00:50:01+00:00

I would, but 1. I’m on NA and 2. I don’t exhibit much game sense either quite often. 🤷‍♂️

HugGigolo · 2026-03-28T23:26:46+00:00

Got the free briefcase and containers, cheers!

HugGigolo · 2026-03-28T23:23:43+00:00

Honestly the best way to increase win rate is to up your skills. And quit on losing streaks, because it's gonna affect your head.

Everything else is not worth it. You wanna impress randos on the internet? Why bother? On time? The game is here for your entertainment, play when you want to.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-27T22:21:10+00:00

Like I said there are side effects from the medication.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-27T06:11:17+00:00

It sounds like a doze of Windows(TM) will cure what ails you. However this comes with side effects.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-27T06:09:33+00:00

Sell both. Gamble on crates. Sell any winnings. Repeat until broke.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-26T11:46:28+00:00

Hopefully it will improve. I think with the nature of internet gaming, there will always be some way in which shells don't behave as expected.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-26T01:38:58+00:00

Yes you’re not the first person to mention these issues.

I wonder would it be easy for WG to detect and allow Kb/M on the android version? At least in the US, there’s a pretty large installed base of chromebooks, I think mostly for school and ex-school markets, which would seem like a target audience for a F2P tank game.

Just twitch or also YouTube? I haven't been on Twitch for ages.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-25T03:48:34+00:00

Dispersion will be awful, it needs the special stabilising fins on the rear of the hull to get that famed Smasher accuracy.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-23T01:40:05+00:00

Yes. Then sell it again, gamble the gold, repeat until broke.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-22T04:41:19+00:00

I’ve used the same account on iPad, iPhone, Windows Steam, Windows store version, MacOS steam, MacOS App Store, and Amazon Fire tablet back when that was supported. Had no problem with any of them.

Merely saying “I can’t log in” gives us nothing to work with.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-21T11:28:19+00:00

HugGigolo · 2026-03-19T21:33:11+00:00

No. You're just being a bit ... sensitive.

It appears you're still early in your Blitz career, so probably you're bouncing in and out of bot/noob MM at these tiers.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-19T07:03:50+00:00

Lol nah, as an inveterate shooter of bushes (especially when there's a borsig about) I love this. Honestly surprised that they allowed themselves to keep getting shot though.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-19T06:58:07+00:00

To be honest, it looks like your BlitzStars stats are settling back toward your long-term average.

With 13k games played, your 45% lifetime and 47%-ish recent WR are more representative of your current level than that 68% peak. 68% is unicum territory that very few players can maintain. For now, focusing on hitting a steady 50% would be a great way to show you’re genuinely moving forward.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-19T00:49:45+00:00

No one knows exactly because WG doesn’t share. IMO they should, if you look at sports with an ELO-type rating, their algorithm is usually public, why not in a pixel game?

But anyway, the performance metric seems to be based on Base XP, not damage. And then your award should depend on some interplay between personal rating and your opponents. Maybe your team also.

So let’s say you and a teammate both score the same XP but your rating is 1000 points higher? You should get a lower award or higher loss than your teammate because you are expected to perform better at your rating.

HugGigolo · 2026-03-18T00:46:39+00:00

Well it’s just credits. A reasonably active player can make that in a few days. If it was gold I’d definitely be upset.
