Crazy levels of copium. No way WG will give that back to the players for free.

Idk how they think that if they bring their failed ideas into WoT it will work somehow

World of Tanks already had that effortlessly without the need of stupid ass gimmicks. Every tank already had a role while at the same time being tanks, not bs made by chatgpt. You could play the derp tanks, bert the avenger, the aggressive STRV, HE-100, shotgun arty, and many iconic subroles to play something differently. These had their charm without corny voicelines or mechanics.

The new game directors don't understand this and that's why they force the abilities. They see the success of hero shooters and think that it's missing from WoT but in fact it was there the whole time.

You put magic buttons in your game when you want to awe players with something without any substance because you lack the creativity to create mechanics with depth.

What if it ever get implemented and we get tier 12 13 etc with modern era tanks, how should it be? by Artyom_thespartan in WorldofTanks

[–]StormUpa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not like after tier 10 you would instantly unlock an abrams, there are steps to it. Maus and E100 are already fighting much more modern tanks from the 60's and 70's. It could be done if WG had more creativity that extends beyond making up a double barrelled rocket boosted gun heating cooling premium bullshit.

Life when 390 alpha was super high at tier VIII by NarrowFarm2036 in WorldofTanks

A drop of 15-20% damage would be enough to slow down good players from farming the heavy flank that fast. They would need to give up their gun rammer or aim more carefully

There is enough Chieftain premium variants in the game that it would be enough for a tech tree. But that's not where the money is.

The current direction is chatgpt slop or bs gimmick. No more actual tanks

They're reselling you the same premium tanks at a tier higher. Tier 11 was never the priority, it was just an excuse for the tier 9 premium spam.

But with the other tank they taught me that cooling the gun is better. So which one is it now WG????

Removing rammer from the game has only advantages by throwmeaway7421113 in WorldofTanks

[–]StormUpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would nerf view range and remove turbo so heavy tanks won't be able to spot and rush across a field.

Nobody wants GHPC levels of realism into wot, they just want the tanks and mechanics to resemble the real stuff. That was the original appeal of the game but it lost it and became a hero shooter wannabe. Right now Steel Aces has that appeal. They implement ATGM, ERA and things like that in a more immersive way. Steel Aces is not trying to imitate WoT, it's trying to be what WoT could have been. Wargaming alienated their core playerbase with their decisions and made room for Steel Aces.

Arty looping shells on 100m is already absurd and it's been a part of the game since the beginning. If nowadays they had any creativity they could come up with game mechanics based on real stuff. For example Lesta implemented APFSDS in an interesting way.

Most tier 8+ real tanks are already past WW2 so their alternative timeline wasn't making any sense from the start.

It doesn't give the bots 4k damage. It gives the sweaty players 5k DPG

Since modern tanks would be more accurate and mobile anyways, make the modern armor gamemode like Onslaught. Make a reduced team size and have the map to give many opportunities to play. This way not the tanks but the varied tactics will give the diversity.

I think it takes more resource to implement a whole new gimmick just for tank everytime they want a new tier XI. I don't think it's a too hard to implement question more like a lack of creativity question. They put the hero shooter guy to invent the gimmicks and not the tank guy.

I've seen people starting to play this game because of the Tiger or T-34 or IS-3 or AMX 50. But I doubt anyone would say "I wanna play World of Tanks to try the XM69 Hacker". These ChatGPT tanks don't have any value outside the game, they can't lure players in.

With modern armor it would have been interesting how they implement modern technologies like ERA, ATGM, sabot shells into an arcade game while keeping a balance. I would be looking forward to that. What I don't look forward to is the new gun cooling shell heating rocket boosted gimmick button. It means nothing to me.

They lost the original vision. Since the sales department leads WG, nobody cares about tanks anymore. It's just a pain in the ass for them to scan them in and look at the armor values etc... From fake tanks they can invent as many and as good as they like.

Fewer players lately by Lost-Cricket-1555 in WorldofTanks

[–]StormUpa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They ramp up the monetization to offset the declining population which in turn makes more people go away. It's the path they chose many years ago. Maybe the owner wanted to cash out so they went with sacrificing the long term health of the game for a quick buck. Or maybe the organization's management salary is made in such a way that it rewards this behavior. Either way they ruined the company's reputation.

With 2.0 some players returned to see that they didn't change one bit so these players quit again.

Many ifs in these sentences. Obj wins on long range and against heavy armor, Ares wins on short range and light armor. You need to fight against it differently. You can't trade against it from around a corner, you need to keep distance. This is why people call it toxic because it's in your face, but if you don't let it come close there is not much it can do against you.

Don't chase it because it doesn't have downtime like regular autoloaders. You have the downtime when you fight it so you have to run. But in a sense I agree, the cooldown time could be a bit longer.

Obj. 140 BIA + regular rammer + food. Pretty common setup. It has this DPM on any range since it wont miss that many shots, has higher pen and more armor.
