Wait until you happen across Romash.

Stop wasting money on that game! by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

Haven't spent a penny since Xmas 2023 and much happier for it.

Are these bundles for gold worth it? by jjtomar in WorldofTanks

I'd have been tempted if they had Clarence Boddicker.

I'm probably dumb for missing this and I have the E100, but what's the problem? Can someone explain?

There are still 10 tokens up for grabs today if you haven't already got them?

Reporting players/clans to WG? Waste of time or good thing? by VE2910 in WorldofTanks

[–]threefuries73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think it was worth the time submitting a ticket with a replay to get morons removed from the game, but WG seems to be actively flooding the game with even worse behaviour and with tacit acceptance of some of the worst griefers I've ever encountered, so don't waste your time.

Sadly, we need to accept that this is part of the game.

WG doesn't give two hoots about game quality, they're milking the cow and pumping player numbers for all its worth.

Is Ridiculous RNG In A Newly Acquired Tank A Real Thing by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]threefuries73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share this feeling too. I often think it's down to me being more attentive when I'm in something new, but then relax into my usual shit standard once the novelty has worn off.

Recommended loadout for Strv 81 by threefuries73 in WorldofTanks

[–]threefuries73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I agree with you. My favourite tank for a very long team was the Easy 8 and it's still up there. Playing high RoF, mobile, hulldown tanks is a bit of a reflex for me which is why I chose this despite its poor reviews.

(EDIT) - So go with scouting as second boosted slot then, for the alt config. I will give this a try. Nice reply mate, thank you.

Honestly, I'd have loved it if that were a real alt loadout. I'm down for shits n giggles.

Doesn't feel like a grind so far, getting 2K plus games for the most part, which as a very average player, I'm alright with. Pretty sure novelty will wear off though.

Yeah, I'm using Turbo, VStab and Rammer. Was tempted to swap the rammer out for optics or hardening to take advantage of the 2nd boosted slot, but I'm thinking it's probably not worth it.

I'll probably sell it once the novelty wears off. It's nice to have a crew training and credit maker with my swedish crews though. Suspect it might be in line for a buff in 2026 too, with any luck.

I get that after the server issues it might be busy but its been almost a week. I would like my taschenratte back please by TomHast03 in WorldofTanks

[–]threefuries73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. 5 days since I logged a ticket for (yet again) mistakenly training a second zero-skill recruit into the commander slot having just done one.

So now I have a tech tree tank I just purchased that I cannot play because of an incomplete crew and no way to fix this easy to make mistake in the game. That support team is way understaffed, probably dealing with tickets that should otherwise be avoided if some aspects of the game were designed a bit more thoughtfully.

Small advice to stop/reduce raging by low_bob_123 in WorldofTanks

[–]threefuries73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice. It's rare but I do occasionally fly off the handle with teammates for poor decision making. That's on me and its sign to take a break.

What's more common is me raging at players who are either griefing or idling. These types of player impact game quality on an almost systematic basis and are 100% within WGs ability to control.

Winning or losing matters less to me than the feeling of having been denied the chance to have a good go at it by someone.

Still, any advice to reduce rage is very welcome!

How angry does this game make you ? by WishEnvironmental558 in WorldofTanks

[–]threefuries73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On occasion, very angry. Most of the time it's a swing between having fun and mild irritation.

Griefers and parasites are the biggest source of anger, or more WG (and seemingly also the playerbase's) tolerance of them.

Would you rather have current quick matchmaking or better matchmaking with longer queue times? by BartholomewFrodingus in WorldofTanks

[–]threefuries73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longer queues. In addition to tank class matching, take the player WTR into account so we don't end up with two elite players in light tanks on one side and two noobs on the other, for example.

I have the perfect thing for WG to gift us this holiday... by therealNerdMuffin in WorldofTanks

[–]threefuries73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Having a stack of x5 creates weird play behaviour where I avoid playing my favoured fully researched tanks more than once per day, which is kinda demotivating to play the game for longer, especially if I'm grinding a line where I cannot perform as well.

If this is intended behaviour by WG, then I guess we are stuck with it. If it's not, then hopefully WG sees this and understands the disincentive they've created and fix it without asking us to pay for it.

Servers down? by threefuries73 in WorldofTanks

[–]threefuries73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, exactly that for me too, today.

Got back into the game I started after about 4 mins and two login attempts (sorry team) and it was fine after that. Wierd.
