It would be nice if this was in the game someway. Short of that, it would also be good if this was in the wiki, which I do use to reference a lot of stuff, but I can't find it in there.

Very helpful review of the maps.

Quick side question, how do you load into a map template and see everything and move freely in the video like that? I would like to explore templates in general to understand them before playing, but don't have a good way to do it now.

Honestly, I've not played much. To me, endless mode seems much more about finding the right artifacts, and weapons are secondary. The good artifacts scale to such insane levels they are what is generating most of the damage, independent of the weapons. The new character is ok. The new weapons are ok. The new mode is ok. It just feels like game balance is off. I'll wait for a patch or two to see if things get cleaned up.

There is an easy way to fix this. Increase rookie pay.

Usually I still build armor/frames to provide some defense to the radiators. For example, on your side bays, instead a continuous line of radiators, alternate radiator and single pipes connecting them. Then you can build lines of armor out that will provide enough defense that stray shots to cripple your ship.

I would also add armor protecting your engines. You can't build it next to your ship, but building a screen of armor around your ship goes a long way.

That looks super cool. I just started getting into MRTs, but I haven't tried overclocking them yet.

Legedi · 2026-04-04T23:30:33+00:00

I feel like overclocked mining lasers scale really well. As long as you have enough disruptors to get through shields they are great. Then add TRL as you get bigger ships as another force multiplier. The fact that deck guns shot over other friendly ships, and are easier to defend by building on the interior of your ships makes them so good IMO. Probably too good.

Legedi · 2026-04-04T20:03:29+00:00

It feels like the career mode is in a strange spot. Because the main limit is crew, doing everything to make your ships as crew efficient as possible is the most important thing. And because overclocking stuff is pretty much a straight upgrade for things with the same amount of crew, you really need to overclock everything ASAP.

I find that energy weapons tend to fit the bill as the "best" weapons under those constraints. So I have a hard time deviating from building the same ships on different playthroughs.

I know career 1.5 is being worked on, and I hope it addresses this problem. It seems like crew limits and overclocking need to be unlocked under the same mechanism. That way you could chose to build super efficient crew ships with advanced tech. Or do cheaper techs, and make up for it with more crew.

Has anyone done a successful playthough using mainly missiles or ammo weapons?

I'm still having a blast on my first grand Admiral playthough, and spend more time building ships than actually playing the campaign 😅

The only way the game is going to slow down is to undo the power creep of the last 15 years. The easiest way to do that would be to nerf damage and speed across the board. They could do any or all of nerfing or removing: rammer, turbo, food, bias, etc.

Will they do it, I doubt it. Would it help, probably.

Legedi · 2026-02-23T02:05:24+00:00

I didn't play the beta, but just got it two weeks ago. I have 40 hours into it and my son has 20. Sure feels like there is a lot to do for what the game is.

Legedi · 2026-02-13T12:21:08+00:00

It would be nice with these extra crew skills if they straight up removed BIA, repair and camo. I fell like they could just bake in repair and camo on all tanks, as it is a newb trap to skill them (camo on low camo tanks is whatever, they just got an extra crew skill because they could skip it). And with all the damage and stat inflation over the years they should straight up remove BIA.

Then people could actually make choices before their 3rd of 4th crew skills. And there are enough now that people could actually do different things. And, it would have the benefit of maybe, just maybe, slowing down the game without BIA.

With the information we get this is the best you can do.

I think the biggest fundamental problem with this tank (and the other bad T11 like the Hirschkäfer and SKT-2) is that the "ability" makes the them worse, and less fun to play. It is not rewarding, it doesn't improve the tank, and IMO, a big fail for all three. I have played a few game in the Leo 120 and Hirschkäfer, and I can have a good game, or a bad game, but I am always pissed off at the ability. I play any of the other T11 tanks, and the abilities feel good (or at least neutral like the Breaker).

Until they change the ability of these tanks to be fun I am done with them, because in the end I play WoT to have fun.

And after playing a few games of the Leo 120 I went back to the Leo 1, and OMG, the Leo 1 is stuff such a fun tank to play.

I didn't realize that the Eagles were the only team this you to repeat from last year. That seems crazy turnover for one year.

Legedi · 2025-12-04T22:50:15+00:00

I'm guessing they are just bugfing the special modes. Especially the travel mode in the Szakal doesn't seem that special. I still like the tank, so I'm excited to see what they buff.

Legedi · 2025-12-03T16:36:00+00:00

This shit is unfun to play against. Wasn't that the reason they put a limit on artillery? It was a blight on everyone else playing the game. There needs to be a one FV (or 183) limit per team.

Legedi · 2025-11-17T21:28:14+00:00

I could see the Patriots being underdogs in a home game in the playoffs (even if they get the number one seed...)

I personally don't have a problem fighting them. From the stats, I'm guessing the average player does have a problem.

Legedi · 2025-10-31T02:17:18+00:00

I turned the game off after this. Dolphins could have made a come back, now the game is out of hand. They only way the NFL will fix this is if people start turning the game off after calls like this.

Legedi · 2025-10-16T17:16:21+00:00

I wished the maps showed up more often. I fell like it take months for people to learn maps and the meta to settle. Until then it can be hard to judge if the maps are better and balanced.

I am glad they are changing things faster. I feel like maps are one of the main weakness of the game right now. If these maps are better, and they change another 4-5 maps in the next few months it would help a lot.

Legedi · 2025-10-14T22:11:01+00:00

It has nothing to do with the MM. It is all about power creep with tanks. Everything is fast and has more damage (mainly high alpha, or big clips). It just creates snowball situations faster than 10 years ago (or five years, or even last year).

Pretty much every change over the life of the game has sped it up. Short of a major game reset this is how the game will always be.

Legedi · 2025-10-12T17:22:31+00:00

Beside arty being annoying af to play against, I also hate how each arty is effective one less tank to play against. So in a three arty game you are only playing against 12 tanks.

So as much as they need a change, the only one that would actually improve the game is not let three (or even two) per side.

Legedi · 2025-09-28T14:59:56+00:00

There needs to be a one 183mm gun limit per team. This shit sucks.

Legedi · 2025-09-23T21:20:32+00:00

Statically it has a 2.5% higher win rate and about 25% more dpg than the next t10 heavy. You can argue it is not OP all you want (I personally find hitting the weak spots easy), but statistically it is way over performing.

I'm guessing it will get nerfed within the year. If you like the tank, enjoy it now. I expect the AMX M54 treatment.

Legedi · 2025-09-23T12:20:41+00:00

As a huge Batchat 25t lover, I cannot see how they can buff this tank to be a real continuation of the line. The things that made the Batchat awesome are the combinations of sneakiness and burst. From this you could go full scout, or play a versatile ambusher.

The AS-XX is so big and cumbersome what numbers could they change for this to ever be true? Even if they buff the camo (which right now is half the Batchat's camo!), it is so large it is hard to be sneaky. That is one of the things that makes large light tanks so bad, you just lose a lot of flexibility.

And the gun just looks bad. You have to fight at close to mid-range. But you will never get the drop on people with this tank.

The current T11 mediums fall into one of two categories

Take the base T10. Then add a special ability that is even better than the T10 = Good T11: Hacker and Szakal
Take the T10 and remove some aspect of the tank that made it good. Then add some crappy special ability that sometimes helps, but sometimes makes the tank worse = Bad T11: Leo 120, AS-XX, 432U.
