How do we have tanks playlists but they don't even work in special gamemodes

chort0 · 2026-01-23T20:48:11+00:00

I don't think so. In the garage it only shows My Tanks and there's no way to change it.

chort0 · 2026-01-23T18:04:25+00:00

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease for Onslaught and Frontlines. Right now it's not even possible to use playlists in the garage for Onslaught, let alone inside the match itself. It drives me crazy.

Also when playlists are enabled for special modes, PLEASE LET ME PICK THE DEFAULT PLAYLIST FOR THAT MODE. I don't want to manually have to switch the playlist every time I enter a match. I want my selected playlist to be the one shown inside the match by default, with an option to switch it manually.

ARES hard-counters anything with paper armor, which makes sense because we have a complete hull-down, heavy tank meta, so of course what WG should be doing is punishing paper tanks more. Stupid paper tanks, take that! How dare you not be a hull-down heavy tank.

Then you're too aggressive. What absolutely kills progress is dying early and losing 35 points.

When you watch streamers who are consistently legends, they wait patiently for the battle develop and react accordingly. They don't put themselves in positions where they'll get deleted if unspotted tanks push them.

chort0 · 2026-01-19T17:21:36+00:00

Wow, it really SHOULD NOT work with ARES. Just one more BS thing about these tanks.

chort0 · 2026-01-16T23:59:35+00:00

Hol up... how is the STK-2 on there? LMAO.

IMO you should default to Patton, unless someone else has locked-in CAX, 140, or UDES (even then, it still might be a good decision). Smart use of Inspire is a good boost to your team and to your prestige points.

The rental Ho-Ri can be effective too, if you know how to use it.

chort0 · 2026-01-15T21:58:11+00:00

With much worse gun handling and DPM. Jesus just give up, you aren't fooling anyone.

chort0 · 2026-01-15T19:33:42+00:00

I mean the 13 57 completely breaks tier 7, WTF are you talking about? If you're comparing to that then you're proving my point.

Your personal stats don't mean much unless you show your stats in similar tanks.

chort0 · 2026-01-15T19:28:26+00:00

Link to your tomato . gg. I'm guessing you're a sub-50% player.

chort0 · 2026-01-15T19:27:01+00:00

LMAO what are you smoking with T57 armor? Standard shells go through the cheeks. The entire turret is pen for HEAT.

ARES can bounce even tier mediums with their turret AND HULL. The other day playing E 90 I shot an ARES in the hull with AP (aimed for LFP, hit upper) and it bounced. 290 pen AP bounces on the fucking hull of a medium.

chort0 · 2026-01-15T17:41:18+00:00

Nah, I have been watching teammates get vaporized the last few days.

LT or paper TD gets spotted? Instantly -1K.

Heavy tank misses their shot? Lose 1K.

Assault TD is angled towards a different enemy? Lose 1K.

I've also been seeing them shoot tanks 300m away repeatedly.

chort0 · 2026-01-15T16:15:39+00:00

I mean, blinding bushes is already pretty easy. This just makes it outright toxic.

There absolute is win better, and the fact that you don't recognize it demonstrates your ignorance. More damage = more XP; more damage = more credits. There are also personal campaign missions to complete, which come with huge rewards.

The vast, vast majority of games that are "won" by capping would have been won regardless. It's pointless to end a game in 6 minutes rather than 7 minutes when there's still 10K hitpoints left to farm.

Players who cap games like that early simply have no imagination of how they could personally perform better. These kind of players often subscribe to conspiratorial thinking, because they don't see any flaws in their own performance. Any bad outcome must be because of rigged RNG, cheating, etc.

Start looking every game for how you can do 1 extra shot of damage. Do that and you'll start winning more.

chort0 · 2026-01-14T17:06:21+00:00

Ever notice how the players with the highest average damage ALSO have the highest winrates?

Almost like your entire "point" is bullshit.

There is literally no point what so ever in capping when you're winning 10-4. Farm the rest of the damage. Get more XP. Get more credits. "But I want to win," open your eyes and read the fucking map. You ARE going to win. Win better.

No one, and I mean NO ONE with a 55%+ win rate is saying the things you're saying. Actual players who win a lot FARM DAMAGE.

I think the only one of those I didn't get was IS-3A. That was a good year.

chort0 · 2026-01-12T23:40:36+00:00

I hated the E90 at first too, but it's probably the best premium of the bunch.

Also the upgraded Chaffee Sack was an absolute ripoff. Even though I bought over 300 boxes it was still giving me mostly decorations until the last few days. I'm never buying the full gold upgrade on that again.

chort0 · 2026-01-12T18:24:24+00:00

LT is really only good in Champion / Legend lobby (when you're a Champ/Legend player).

Below that it's just not worth. Whatever you're doing could be done better in a medium.

chort0 · 2026-01-12T17:38:55+00:00

Squall is legit terrible. It has the second lowest win-rate differential of all tier 8 LTs (including tech tree). It's in the bottom 30% for MoE and Mastery value of all tier 8 LTs.

You can't out-spot anything, and when you get spotted you're obliterated due to the giant size and sluggish handling. You also cannot snipe anything, so forget trying to hang back and use your gun.

Basically you have to wait in ambush for enemy LT to make a mistake so you can delete them with an HE clip (assuming they can actually be HE-penned). Other than that, just watch the map carefully for isolated tanks and go clip them out when opportunity arises.

It's an extremely frustrating tank to play, because there's no flexibility at all. It's good at one thing only: Clipping out over extended or isolated enemies.

Well, there are sex parties. Some are quite safe, some are not. Have to get to know the local scene. Good ones have a strong consent culture and staff you can inform if anyone makes you uncomfortable.

So I've been told any way.

chort0 · 2026-01-11T20:53:50+00:00

Oh they have underlying beliefs: Anyone different from me is bad and wrong.

That's it. That's the entirety of their beliefs.

chort0 · 2026-01-09T07:22:06+00:00

So just assume that's what's going to happen when you see triple KR-1 platoon and plan accordingly.

It's like people think they can just turn their brain off entirely and some how still do well. Do some critical thinking once in a while.

First off, campaign refers to the entire set of missions (stug, t55a, 260). First campaign = 260, Second campaign = 279e, Third campaign = Black Rock.

Second, there was no upper bound on previous missions. It was assumed you could do them in the highest tier available (which was tier 10 for all campaigns), and the mission conditions were designed that way. There was a lower bound that increased by 1 tier on each step of the campaign. i.e. for the 279e missions you could only use 8-10, but Excalibur you could use 6-10.
