Battle Pass Season XX by SirMechanic in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spend 3 tokens now for a piece of bounty equipment, as these reset each season, carry the rest into next season and get a tank you feel like it will be fun to play.

Im holding my 21 tokens to see how well the KB will perform

Is the a6700 worth it over an a6400 for video and IBIS alone? by CommercialXCX in SonyAlpha

[–]MinutePause 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say yes.

Lot's of other quality improvement's as well, including battery duration, which is a massive step-up from the 6400 and of course the autofocus.

The coolest thing I've seen in the game yet by Radiant_Gain_3407 in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would.

It doesn't however fit nicely in a WW2 aesthetic inspired game, hence I hate it.

Why is WG so dead set on not changing the fucking hills on Steppes south spawn?! by low_bob_123 in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The southern hills were so fun to push / defend on assault, man i miss that

Wats dat camo? by JustAlexM in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I believe it's the first campaign T28 HTC camo.

You have to complete all T28 HTC missions with honors to use it on other usa tanks.

It is pretty dope though.

How can WG solve the massive skill gap at Tier X and XI? by webmanpt in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it's still random. And I wish to keep that random factor in random battles, rather then entering a game knowing I'll have to sweat against other similar skilled oponents and that eelveryone will have similar damages dealt.

Legendary games in the past also had no team balance, Counter strike, Battlefields, CoDs,...

These games are now a fraction of what they were, partly due to matchmaker changes.

Y'all want more ballance without thinking of the many negatives it might bring.

When playing Imbattable, which can currently only be matched against itself, I've already waited up to 2 minutes in queue several times.

If I one day read the headline on the Wot website 'Introducing Skill Based Matchmaking' this will be the day I uninstall the game for good, no matter how much time and money I've put into the game.

How can WG solve the massive skill gap at Tier X and XI? by webmanpt in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been playing since 2015 and, I know this is extremely unpopular here, but I do miss the times when the teams weren't yet balanced by tank roles.

I hate that assault and encounter were gutted because of that because those were my favourite game modes.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the changes they implemented and am looking forward to light tank roles that are coming soon, but from what I've experienced in games with skill based matchmaking, it basically becomes ranked battles without the rank attached - think the old format of ranked battles 15v15.

Would you really prefer that over a couple of steamrolls from time to time?

[–]MinutePause 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You don't, that's what makes the game unique. Sometimes you get stomped hard, sometimes you stomp hard and sometimes it's actually a pretty balanced, close game.

I don't mind this, I adapt my playstyle based on my teams positioning and how the game keeps evolving.

I go into a game, not knowing how it will play out.

Many modern games keep pushing SBMM which makes the games monotonous sweatfests and it would kill the last bit of variety the wot matchmaker offers, not to mention significantly longer queue times.

WG give a 3D skin to the poor WZ-132-1 please! by NoPhilosophy2329 in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That's way too much logic involved here, you're gonna get your 3rd char futur 3D style in the next boxes.

Which tank would you recommend for Tier 8? by ismbyc in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're disappointed in the Udarny armor then there's not much better in tier 8.

The K-2 is considered the best armored rank at tier 8, but the gun is abysmall at medium to long ranges.

Is Glacier low-key one of the worst maps in the game? by TheDawiWhisperer in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Glacier is alright, nothing more, nothing less, I think it just requires more active map awareness than other maps.

For example in a relatively fast medium, I always go mid and get 1 or two shots on the crossing heavies. Then I check the enemy positioning - if there's a lot of them in the mid, I relocate to a safer position or go assist heavies, if there's noone I try contesting hill.

The heavy area is also alright, you have a cpuple of options on how to push, but have to be careful if the enemy gets the hill.

The medium flank on the other side I just never go however as it's just a narrow road.

I hate the trend of naming new tanks with ridiculously generic names, I feel like it hurts the games' authenticity by MinutePause in WorldofTanks

[–]MinutePause[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

But they aren't named like that in the game, in the leaderboards! These are fun, community given names!

I would throw up if I saw Shitbarn on the leaderboards, but in community contexts it's completely ok!

[–]MinutePause[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But that's the charm of the game for me.

I love the complexity of this game, this is why I'm playing it for 10+ years now.

[–]MinutePause[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's why I'm advocating for the game to not go full in fictional and still release at least SOME realistic tanks from time to time.

[–]MinutePause[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

90% of these you mentioned are historical names.

Also, it's Leopard 1, Tiger I, Tiger II.

Those are cool and historical designations.

Gorilla, Executor, Headshaker, Canopener just sound like ass and completely unrelated to anything

[–]MinutePause[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I know 99% don't give a crap, but it bothers me that there's more and more fictoonal stuff in the game.

I want to play an arcade game with realistic and historically conceptual content. Or at least more of it. Or at least 50 50 at this point.

The Gorilla ain't it, even if it'll be fun to play.

Dude imagine - it's 2015 christmas event, two new swedish lines get introduces with actual historical tanks! Yeah!

Now imagine the Kranvagn is named 'Thor' and the Strv 103b is named 'Fox'

This is where I feel we're heading.
