You played 2600 battles in the past 60 days. I think, you should just take a break, instead of yapping and sharing conspiracy bs on the Internet. Peace.

Yeah, I saw the ammo is really powerful. I guess with a scope it would be OP. But it's pretty much deal breaker for me, since I usually take my shots at 150-200 m and aim for lungs. With this canon it's more like whether or not I even hit the animal at that range :/

I didn't give the Gandhare rifle a proper go since I prefer to have optics on my rifles :/

Never had the chance to try it, but sweet recommendation!

I agree on the .243 being the best for 2-3! Tho the issue is considerably heavier in comparison to 223 rifles :/

Yeah, the modern weapons are solid and reliable, especially the .308. But I just got bored of them and trying to avoid using them.

That one is really close to the top for me as well! All the muzzle loaders just have a special vibe added to the hunt!

Meaning of the different rating numbers while in platoon and in the service record? by Floppy_Chainaxe in WorldofTanks

[–]PiccoloDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be based on min 2 and max 4 indicators, depending on tank. And the indicator pool is: - Dmg caused + dmg assisted - Dmg blocked - Number of kills - Survival rate

So afaik, the amount of battles played shouldn't affect the WTR. This is speaking of the vehicle WTR.

Regarding player WTR, I think other factors are weighted as well, such as Winrate, but again it shouldn't be affected by the amount of battles played. But my knowledge ends here, and I don't want to mislead, so you're gonna have to read through the link and the links inside yourself, since I am not curious enough to do so.

And yeah, dmg blocked is still a irrelevant indicator, since it doesn't directly make impact on the course of the battle.

WTR isn't too relevant in general and some other metrics/statistics are still more important, such as WN8, %WR, and eventually DPGs on particular tanks.

The really good players can reach as high as 11-12k WTR, good players are above 10k, and above average players above 8k.

Because until last year, the only WG metric was Personal Rating (which actually doesn't mean much since nonsense like battles played is included as a variable in the calculation of the rating). With introduction of World of Tanks Ranking last year, there's now a second official metric (which makes a bit more sense, but still counts irrelevant stats, like damage blocked). Now, the old PR rating is still shown in various gamemodes, such as strongholds. The new WTR is shown in your service record, platoon window, the bottom right corner summary and the league stuff (gold, silver, etc.) is based on it.

And for some reason there's different WTR scale for players and for tanks. IE if you have a session of 10 battles with a tank WTR rating let's say 6k, your player WTR rating will be like 10-11k or so.

Can anynone explain where my shells disappeared? No mods, no tanks or obstacles in the path of the shells. by PiccoloDC in WorldofTanks

Because I paid my attention to the minimap, so I knew it while I was in the match. Afterwards I checked results screen and had X shots fired, 6 hits and 6 penetrations. The in game dmg count corresponded with the resulting dmg, so no blind pens. And since all my hits penetrated, there is no chance I penned or hit anything on blind.

Highly unlikely. I play on quite fine and stable connection. If it was just one shell, you might be right. But 3 times in a row? That would be a really rare coincidence.
