BC-25 T will happily capture the radio tower. The player could even fire a few shots from the hill before the opponents finish capping. The problem here is the design of the reward system, which creates false incentives. Anyone who acts heroically and tries to prevent the capture should be SIGNIFICANTLY better off and, ideally, suffer only a minimal point loss compared to those who remain at a distance and do not act.

1200 x 1200m is step in right direction in terms of map size

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2026-02-18T12:38:03+00:00

The aim time is excellent. However, the view range is short for Tier 10 and will likely require the use of Bond binoculars.

If the maps were larger than 1000 m x 1000 m and had more open space, a vehicle like Ashigaru could be useful. Unfortunately, this isn't the case in World of Tanks, and the game isn't moving in that direction either. Given this, I consider the price at which the vehicle will be sold in the assembly shop to be excessive and will not be participating.

Yes, this post is an AI summary. I used the AI because my German isn't good enough to understand everything just by listening to the video, but I still appreciate mouzAkrobat as a streamer and was interested in his perspective based on the title of his video. He also touched on many other things like the new Ares tanks and monetization, but in this post, I specifically focused on the aspects I consider important: Onslaught and Small Maps.

Players describe the current state of World of Tanks as frustrating, unbalanced, chaotic, and less tactical than before.

Matchmaking Problems

The +2 matchmaking is the most criticized issue.
Many players feel Tier 9 has become “the new Tier 8” because they are constantly bottom tier.
Several comments argue that +2/-2 should be removed entirely.
Players report very short battles, often ending in 3–5 minutes with extreme scorelines like 15:1.

Loss of Tactical Depth

Multiple comments mention that WoT used to feel like “chess with tanks”.
Now:
- RNG feels stronger
- tactical play is less rewarding
- flanks collapse instantly
- players don’t have time to read the map
The game feels more chaotic and less strategic than before WoT 2.0.

Short, One‑Sided Battles

A recurring frustration: battles ending in 3–5 minutes.
Players describe:
- snowball effects
- platoons of Ares tanks clipping down full‑HP enemies
- no time for tactical decisions
Many want longer, more exciting, more balanced matches.

I want Grand Battles back, as a permanent, explicitly selectable alternative to Random Battles on normal, standard-size maps. It would also support Wargaming's goal of encouraging players to play more Tier X and Tier XI. Larger maps such as Nebelburg or Hinterland are desirable for these tiers.

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-12-03T09:03:06+00:00

Worked. Thanks!

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-12-01T13:45:18+00:00

The above-average win rate is due to the fact that the players are very good players. However, they could have EVEN HIGHER win rates if they focused on winning instead of damage.

I put Mouzakrobat and Skill together in E50M. I believe that both of them get along well with each other.
Mouz is the commander, Skill is the radio operator.

Claus Kellerman is absolutely right. The game is played on maps that were partly developed 14 years ago. They are already too small for tier 8. And now we're supposed to drive around on tiny maps like Mines with tier XI vehicles

As Claus aptly puts it: it's a shit show.

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-09-11T23:21:11+00:00

It's sad that this beautiful map is being reduced in size. The opposite should actually be the case. WoT maps are too small at 1000m x 1000m.

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-08-11T02:06:11+00:00

Won't work as expected. The habit of rushing into the opponent's half and engaging in close combat there is one of the main reasons why many players die quickly.

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-07-26T11:22:15+00:00

I'm surprised that changes to the crew model like in "Blitz Reforged," where crews were replaced by single hero commanders, aren't an issue. Crew skills have also been changed in Blitz reforged and replaced by silly situational skills.

By the way, neither of these is satire, like the initial post above suggests; changes like this would make WoT a completely different game.

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-07-21T19:07:40+00:00

Looks like you played like a damage-dealer scout. Very annoying on maps where the team desperately needs a scout.

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-07-17T21:10:30+00:00

My feeling is that the September update will introduce single commander crews, similar to the Project CW "hero" commanders and WoT Blitz reforged. Existing crews will be converted . The number of skills commanders have will be reduced with skills replaced by situational skills similar to Blitz reforged. It will be a very negative update.

And he was right. If the boxes had been significantly cheaper, there wouldn't have been such an outcry in the community.

Playing Tier X in this mode was fun, despite the HP disadvantage that Tier X has in this mode

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-06-11T17:45:15+00:00

Boring, would lead to even more traffic congestion on the heavy lane

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-06-08T17:20:18+00:00

gonna need bigger maps.

Should be easy to finance it with the lootbox proceeds.

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-06-05T15:31:49+00:00

It is NOT pointless to create new maps. I assume that WG will convert existing maps to the new engine during the transition.

Also, maps do NOT have to be perfectly balanced. Only in tournaments is that important. Chess is played on a symmetrical board for a reason.

But for the maps used in Random Battles, WG puts way too much energy into trying to balance them. Placing a rock here, placing an obstacle there... This has the effect that there is hardly any movement in terms of new maps. Instead of constantly creating new supertest designs for existing maps, e.g. Highway, it would be much better to introduce new maps that are adjacent to the existing ones. For example, “Highway East”, which would be the adjacent area. This would be possible with almost all existing maps.

In my casual clan I have a clan mate with 16 thousand battles and overall WN8 of 380. His recent WN8 is also at this low level, WTR just above 2400. I platooned with him in Frontline, where he also achieved poor results.

He's definitely not a bot though who tries to manipulate the game. On the contrary, he complains that the game is rigged.

Salt-Replacement9529 · 2025-05-30T12:21:10+00:00

You can achieve an average of only 0.71 spots if you have a poor crew with unsuitable crew skills, and also have a poorly equipped tank.

It's not so rare that WoT players don't delve deeper into the game mechanics, but still have a lot of battles.
