This game must have the biggest player base of pussies out of anything I've ever played. So many people literally frightened to simply play the game, contest for ground, many just want to sit in the base from the start regardless of their vehicle, this gets worse the higher the rank you play at.

Comparing old WoT to new, the player base is more skilled now because they’ve been playing the same game for 15 years. Like back in the day I’d be drunk tanking and constantly yolo pushing like a retard and I’d have a win rate in the mid 50s. Now I do the same shit and, although I can occasionally pull off something clever and carry a match when the stars align and I luck out, I’m a solid 49% mediocre player
Players at high tiers 10 seem to take the game more seriously and play “better” in the sense that they’re cautious and expose themselves less and play more patiently

On one side it's a motivator to do arty missions, on the other, nothing else is possible. I'm doing the standard ProtonDB steps and went further with my own, but it's terrible. Anyway went to T8 french arty in the few days of play I've had since reinstalling.

>>2640927
>On one side it's a motivator to do arty missions
I started doing the campaign missions and reluctantly started playing arty to do so
Genuinely wish I hadn’t started any of the campaigns and never had them in the back of my mind as I played

>didn't get my HEATbux in WoWS
kinda mad now
wonder if I should bother support since I'm certain I logged in before the deadline

I used to think I was a heavy tank, but after some self reflection I've realised I'm a wheeled medium tank.

Thoughts on the Medved? I already have the Toro for Tier 9 burst fire fun, might just leave it at that until the Kame comes in.

>>2648641
I think the general impression was it's a pretty mediocre tank that only functions as a brawler. It has poor dispersion/accuracy (0.45) so you're not going to land the entire four round burst unless you're in close, but it also has a pretty long intra-clip (3.75) while not being a particularly fast heavy. Basically you are hoping to be in the right position at the right time (you can influence this to some degree with good game sense) and then when someone in a tank with a longer reload fires you all-in them and kill them before pulling back. If you can't make opportunities like that it doesn't trade very well (3.75 means only someone overextended or tracked is going to take follow up shots,) or do well at mid-range (0.45 accuracy means you're only landing 2, maybe 3 shells out of 4)
The armor is also very mediocre for the close range playstyle - the hull isn't good, at all, and the turret has both a large cupola and a viewport weakpoint that prevent you from sitting hull-down and dumping your mag at your leisure
I think it's still a playable tank, if you got it from a lootbox, but I don't know that I'd direct purchase it. It's certainly nothing like a Skoda T56 or the Kame.

>>2648661
Yeah pretty much my thoughts, I'll play Toro if I feel like similar gameplay at tier 9 while credit grinding.

In crew skills, your main goal is Offroad driving, bottom of the barrel soft resistance. As a medium you can double bush for Camo, it could be your 3rd skill.
>>2655743
Rotation Mechanism brings down the factors very slightly, but worsens them by increasing rotation speed. They work off each other. So With your slow aim time it'll be worse with IRM. Use HP and especially T3 Survivability for tracks.

The K91 line feels very weird to play. T7 has 235 Gold pen, T8 330 but that never improves up to T10. The T8 even has Light amounts of Camo with 2.5k DPM. Overall strange line.

>>2655926
Obj 416 with low noise is an absolute meme chariot post 2.0

>>2655895
IRM reduces dispersions on driving forward when you are not turning and guess what you are doing 99% of the time in a combat med when you are peeking over hills or chasing someone down

It also reduces after fire dispersion, even with 4.5 second intraclip it helps because having a smaller bloom means your movement and turret traversing on said bloom will be miles more manageable than if you were using IRM-less build like hardening

IRM or hardening is playstyle diff but I vastly prefer comfortable gun than more hard stats

I have a gun handling build and I like my Lion, it's a fun auto-reloader with a pretty snappy gun (if built for it) that lets you pump DPM on the second shell like a reverse auto-reloader with an emergency shot in reserve
Reverse auto-reloaders (and auto-reloaders in general) are very powerful and usually pay really heavily for it, so considering the Lion's surprisingly okay turret, mobility, and usable gun handling it's in a pretty nice place for what it is

Why would I play the tier 11 Leo over the tier 10?

You wouldn't, WG failed to design a meaningful T11 and in fact made it worse than the T10

It's actually not that bad I think people think Squall's camo rating is WAY worse than it actually is
No, you're not outspotting a stationary Even 90, but I catch them out of position SURPRISINGLY often and they get deleted by an HE clip
And against other LTs that aren't braindead, you can scout surprisingly well. It's a bit fat to be a proper active scout (but you can still get away with a decent amount of stuff as long as you're doing it defensively) but if you take the right positions you're far from being a retarded pseudo-med that gets spotted from the moon by heavies (looking at you, Blackdog!)

Bounty Low Noise, BiA, Camo, Paint
Even 90: 52.8%
Blest & Squall: 45.65%
LT432: 46.28%
Both above 36%, meaning a double bush necessitates proxyspotting. See iyouxin spreadsheet. You are basically equal to an LT432. Same view range as well. Absolutely workable.

the average player can't scout because they crutched too hard on elc even 90 and manticore that they feel other lights are too large, but i don't blame them too much

i have experience in anti-scouting and playing big chassis LTs but that's like 1000 games over a decade. i'm always going to ask people what they know before going into LT assassins, let alone the light tank class.

we have 44 maps, 2 spawns each so you have to memorize the right bush angles per side, decent understanding of the camo system, the game sense to predict how the game could play out in 2 minutes / enemy positioning AND have a competent enough team to plug gaps or help you out

the knowledge gap and economy/crew requirement to get into decent LT gameplay is frankly crazy and i never tell new and/or bad players to play LT ever in current WOT unless they are REALLY in love with WOT or are jumping through the hoops for tank campaign missions

>>2690302

>5shot autoloader
>2s interclip

You have a tank that has to move positions and can't just hit over mountains, which also can't be dodged well and really only exists to make those "Stun multiple enemies" missions less annoying. And its gimmick of having that unique stun falloff makes it less like a TX french arty. So no focusfire.

>Did we ever see the Blood/RoTT people in-game?
Yes. Blood guy you see yourself in the mirror a few dozen times in-game. and RoTT you have a character select screen and pick which character/class you want to be (everyone picks the fastest one cuz if you dont there are some secrets you cant get)

PSA: I spam camouflage on every tank because it looks cool, but just learned last night that not only does each camo have three different size scales for the pattern, some camos have multiple different color combinations you can swap between.

Oof that Far Cry tank looks rough, good dpm but a bloody massive cupola on top

>>2706118
Maybe, but there are a lot of tanks with massive cupolas that do well (e.g. the Renegade, even if it's less popular now)
I think it has SPHT HE pen so it's sort of the poor mans SPHT? It also has a workable turret if you're working a ridgeline, you can never hide the cupola but you're not going to get hit in it every single time ever if you aren't exposed for significant amount of time (and it has decent enough gun handling for peekaboo)

>>2707474
I might get it actually as they say the gun handling is going to be improved on release as well as HP up to 2000. Think QB also said HE was going to be 150 pen which is nice. That cupola is bullshit though, but you can't have everything. You can just play smart and do some good trades with the DPM and you'll earn a lot of credits plus bonds.

>>2707501
It already has 0.16/0.16/0.08 on Tanks.gg which is pretty usable, if they improve that further AND give it 2000 HP there's no way it won't be good
Giving it a tiny or non-existent cupola with the otherwise pretty solid turret face (granted it suffers a bit if you're using gun depression and expose the bottom of it) would make it a bit TOO good

>>2695943

M-VII-Y doesn't have troll armor like the SPHT does against regular rounds nor the mobility or low profile to play like a crackhead around hard cover
ignoring the obvious commander cupola weakspot, the turret curves downward like maus so even f2poors can lob shots near the turret ring for RNG pen

Looking for tech tree advice on which lines are worth grinding up to play for fun. Currently my only tier 10 is the IS-7. Most of these lines I have ground up to tier 8 or so. Main lines:

>Leopard I
>IS-4
>Obj. 430U?

>>2726850
do you use food?
do you fire gold? if you don't, do you have intuition trained?
for lights - how much knowledge do you have about the camo system and map positioning? can you ignore your team yelling at you for not playing their way?

for fun is also somewhat subjective. do you aggro and try to break enemy positioning, or are you more comfortable with hanging back and punishing misplays?

>>2726850
>T110E5
Kind of pointless now that both Soup conq and canopener exist, it's a solid choice nevertheless since the turret weakspot is a 50/50 chance to bounce standard ammo
>M48 Patton
Very limited by the mobility, but exceptional gun handling and can outspot reckless LTs, if you know how to play big soft tanks, you will prosper in it
>Obj. 140
Very little downsides, but the downside that exists is a big one - the fuel tanks are next to the driver, you will need to run fire extinguisher with it
>Ares
Despite the nerfs the T11 is still a death machine, but you will be punished for overexposing
>Leo
If you don't know how to use your team as extra HP, you will be punished
Excellent spotter if you find yourself without lts
