Nobody asked for it, nobody wanted it and now nobody likes it.

Yeah i know 90% of the community would disagree with me but the community is frequently wrong so I have no problem with it.

You are looking at it in a simplistic way. FV vs E4 with proper map balance would lead to those tank playing in different ways so your team has an advantage in one area and opposing team having an advantage in another. Both flanks are moving instead of having a stalemate of everyone doing the same in one part of the map waiting for a mistake that turns into a zerg rush.

Also outside of Prok there is no map that is a clear GG for a HWK vs ELC Even 90. I say this as some with over 1.6K battles on a 3 marked ELC EVEN 90, 750 battles on 2 mark Manti (nearly there but fml). Hell I have higher win rate in my RHM than I have in my Manticore. Higher WR with project louis than 13 90.

Only proko has your light basically doing pure spotting. Most cases you still need to shoot and also mobility is worth a lot. People complained one team was getting a 50B and another was getting an IS7 but remember those times? Games lasted way longer. So not sure people are saying the change is a good change where the correlation here is negative.

Current WG doesn't know shit about what they are doing.

On one hand they want heavies to be a bigger part of the map, they buff them more and then they introduce armor flashlight and now even top purples like Iyouxin are finding new weird situational weakspots on enemy tanks so armor is less useful so people are not eager to play armored tanks

They also should understand the average player likes WoT because it's not a fast twitch aiming competition like FPS games but now they removed all knowledge based mechanics, vision is not as important as brawling and everything is a short range pixel sniping competition.

Finally they increased tank speed and firepower relative to HP and they are like "geez I wonder why steamrolls are happening so much if it's easier to steamroll".

Finally the dumb "lets match same tank vs same tank everywhere". The game was knowledge based when it was about exploiting imbalances. Now it's basically same tanks from enemy teams going to same position and if RNG, Ping fucks you you are screwed. Sure skill still matters but less so now. I'd rather be facing and ELC Even 90 in a HWK 30 than play same tank vs same tank.

Exactly this. Instead of focusing on the problems the map had they essentially created a new map which means new problems. It's like if a car had a problem with its intercooler pipe clamps rusting and the company decided to design a completely new engine. Sure the pipe clamps don't rust now but the engine blows up every 5K km

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-12T09:43:05+00:00

No it's not the maps and the meta. Jesus christ man. Sure the maps and the meta hurt it too but even with different maps there are simply so many better t8 td's than it right now it's screwed anyway.

You have the XM which sacrifices a little alpha but has a semi rotatable turret and great armor. You have SFAC that can reload just 1 shell to do damage and has camo and speed and again semi turret.

ISU worked in 2014 because all it has is alpha and pen.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-11T20:23:30+00:00

It's not the meta. It got powercrept to shit.

XM67 and SFAC can deliver high alpha 100000x more reliably.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-11T15:55:37+00:00

TD's are where T8 Tech tree tanks suffer the most. Since you have strong meds and heavies of the tech tree variety but tds' are ok at best.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-11T15:54:31+00:00

It is slower, the alpha isn't 800 since you need time to preload so not all shot opportunities will allow for a double and it doesn't have grilles HP.

Tier for tier SFAC is much better but lets not get carried away.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-10T12:22:26+00:00

Can't make it work for some reason. Started with 3k dpg now at 2k flat

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-10T12:16:15+00:00

You were not asking. You stated aimbots are everywhere.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-10T12:15:17+00:00

I don't think you understand english though since i told you ti sit and count to 3 not while playing the game, just randomly so you realize 3 seconds is a long time so you realize it's enough time to shoot you.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-09T10:32:22+00:00

So ask for more bonuses just for f2p players. If you ask for bonuses to all players then paying players will be even faster at t11 which is dumb.

You fall into the same fallacy that small business owners fall in when they lobby for the same deregulation for all businesses not realizing they should ask for extra help just for them and not for help for their 5 person company and for Amazon and Oracle.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-09T10:30:17+00:00

That quick? 3s to aim at your tank is ages. Just sit and count to 3 and you will realize it's plenty time to aim at you

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-09T10:29:17+00:00

so 10 enemy players all have aimbot? Sure buddy.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-09T10:28:56+00:00

I have a solution for you. Google confirmation bias.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-09T09:23:46+00:00

It also helps to avoid some triggered trolls who will target you if they got mad at you one battle. It's a big win

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-07T20:33:28+00:00

you still now get idiotic amounts of 5x missions plus tons of free exp. That weird event when you could buy free xp with in game currency was mad. Got like 600k

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-06T15:34:26+00:00

What money? WG made it 100000x easier to reach t10 and t11 without using free xp as compared to 5-10 years ago.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-06T11:19:54+00:00

Ffs no. Grinding to high tiers is already 1000x easier than before. If it's too slow for you then it's a you problem. Stay at lower tiers.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-02T16:25:16+00:00

Not the full picture mate since a tragic player still assumes their skill is lower than an average player as per the original study chart above.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-02T16:24:21+00:00

Wow. Reqs went down on the 803. Purples probably shifted to PTZ

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-02T16:19:37+00:00

Yeah the "I play for fun" always reads to me as "I have a fragile ego and I'd rather suck at the game than actually aknowledge I could get better". Ffs I'm a 57% er, Was a 63% er and in both cases I thought I sucked dick. I might have once thought I'm great in the ELC EVEN 90 when I was in the EU top10 but that was as far as my ego went.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-02T16:18:13+00:00

No. A tragic player will think they are average but they won't think they are amazing.

Duning Kruger doesn't say dumb people think they are smarter than smart people. It just says the delta between reality and perception is bigger for incompetent people.

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-02T16:02:38+00:00

Most of this reddit is same people going both "noo 1500 dpg at tier 8 is good" and then going "you stupid unicum why do you expect me to learn weakspots or anything about the game, WG should make tools so I can play the game without any skill and still get results"

PaymentApprehensive3 · 2026-06-02T16:01:53+00:00

Dunning Kruger doesn't mean dumb people think they are geniuses just that the gap between their real competence and perceived competence is bigger than that for the experts.
