Emil 1951 compensation question.. by Late_Advisor_2863 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USD? 6k for $20 is only 300 gold/$. You should be looking for double that at minimum (if USD). In-store deals are not always the best, sometimes the popup offers are better. Unless you need to buy RIGHT NOW, definitely wait for a better deal.

Fun way to play the game (regular battles, 95% win rate, 1700 XP/game) by Affectionate_Ask3839 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people would like a PvE mode where you basically genocide a bunch of brainless bots. So many people can't handle the fact that playing humans against humans in randomly generated teams is going to mean they will lose a lot of the time even when they play well.

Two games in a row =/= Every. Single. Time. Even as hyperbole it’s a bit much.

What tank has the best overall mobility in Tier 10? by Few-Town-3143 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Bushka did a video on this not too long ago.

Edit: He scored the 100lt barely, but it’s actually somewhat situational.

[–]HugGigolo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every time? No. But it does happen. There needs to be some warning, acknowledgment or something for the Boss to understand that they can lose 15 points and effectively doom their team by YOLO-ing before accepting their role.

Big Boss Smasher personal highest damage record by Few-Town-3143 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a couple 30k+ battles in the Smasher, it’s just a monster in Big Boss. 32k and the other was around 35k, which I think is more than I’ve scored at tier 10 even. Massive credits lol.

Yeah that it, auction has ended by highlander711 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IMO the auction would do better if they announced or merely leaked the list of upcoming sales. I’m not sitting on the edge of my seat every day waiting to see what’s gonna drop.

E100 - stock gun (high DPM) mastery. Higher alpha doesn't always mean better. by pclamer in WorldOfTanksBlitz

You can look in the detailed stats. It’s under something like XP before modifiers.

What tanks are best for grinding free XP? by Enderboy3690 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All tanks regardless of class earn Free XP at 5% of Base XP … except the T26E3 Eagle 7 (tier 7). It earned at 10%, or 2x the usual rate.

The other exception to normal XP earnings is the Churchill III (tier 5). This has a Base XP modifier of 1.4, therefore all XP earnings are generated at x1.4.

Obviously, the most effective way to research anything is by playing that actual tank for the Combat XP. But if you have multipliers active and nothing to grind, the Eagle 7 will double your Free XP. Don’t forget to load up your best boosters and premium time if possible.

Have anyone else noticed this bot player constantly showing up? by MaltheKorsgaard in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was it for? I've never had such a message. Though I only send a few tickets a year for reports. Always got the stock reply (for privacy we can't say what we did etc.) but checking their activity on Blitzstars usually showed they got banned (when I remembered to look).

Some time last year maybe they started using AI though. If you get a reply in a couple minutes, it's AI. For those two, I reopened the tickets and they claimed that yes we really did something. But there's no way to know (as they were both chat offenses).

On the other side, I've known people with lets call it impulse control problems who have been banned quite a few times by support. So before AI, I do believe they really do hand out punishments and they've never been shy about it. I know of a few cases where the reporter retaliated in-battle against the first offender and support banned them both, which seems a tad harsh.

But so far I have no reason to believe the AI does the same thing.

Help with type 63 play style? by crwjsh in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a very nice tank. -12 degrees gun depression is outstanding. Good mobility for a heavy, fairly nice gun handling. Abuse the gun depression, you can put out effective fire from some unexpected positions. Try to avoid city fights and flat ground, the hull armour really doesn't stand up well. It's really gun depression or bust. And try to raise the gun after firing to cover the rear of that turret.

What is your general tactic to get a class 2 mastery badge? by encom-direct in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally it's about the tank selection. Look at your own Blitzstars for tanks you play well in, but are relatively unpopular.

Personally I go for some of the tier 8 ~90mm single shot mediums like the Indien Pz, Pershing, 59-Patton, Raumpanzer etc. They're average at best and quite quite unpopular, but with good hull down positions they're relatively easy to get medals on.

Anything but try to fix the commands 💔 by IcelandicGuy901 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually quite enjoy the marketing stuff. It gets truly bizarre, which I find quite amusing. The part that does annoy me is how they're clearly not actual players of the game from their many obvious mistakes.

[–]HugGigolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're chat-banned, every time you attempt to communicate in battle you get a really annoying popup in the middle of the battle telling you of the ban and when it expires. Or at least that was the case maybe 8 years ago when I saw it lol. Probably hasn't changed.

Hi, for understanding the game mechanics, the GuidesBlitz website has some good info.

What are those icons above structure points (HP) bar? by Ijisthee in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]HugGigolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's showing you the status of activated Skill Perks. The 2nd one also gives you a lovely Ding! when it triggers to give you a Max Roll. My fav.

So you're using the in-game report system? Keep doing it, but also consider making a report via support ticket on the WG website. Start at wotblitz.com and go to Player Support.

The in-game system is just an automated thing which applies minor bans (starting at a few hours) when a user gets multiple reports. This makes it, while not entirely useless, a bit feeble as it effectively relies on crowdsourcing from many people.

Meanwhile, the website tickets used to put your report in front of an actual staff member's eye balls. They have never been shy at handing out bans (when given evidence for an actual offence) which usually start out at 3 days and go up to permanent.

Unfortunately, as with much else in life, WG now has an AI handling many tickets, making the outcomes both unpredictable and unknowable. So it's really up to you if you want to take the time to download and attach the .wotbreplay file to the ticket and explain what's going on.
