Writing a pretty extensive topic on improving for higher level players (2000+wn8 above) but it'll apply to everyone, just that those people will comprehend it better. If there are any questions you'd like me to include, I will as long as the topic isn't finished by the time it's asked. This is a general improvement guide, so nothing map/tank specific, but larger concepts. (Improving situational awareness for example), if there are any: ask!

With my WoT buddy passing away a couple days ago I'm going to retire my account as playing doesnt feel right anymore. This game has been a huge part of my life the past 8 years and contains many of my worst moments as a person. I'm at a point in my life now where I'm genuinely happy and not the unstable lunatic who took WoT as life or death. Idk how to properly say goodbye to a great friend, but I'm going to start by shelving WoT and its memories. I don't game much anymore between work and rock climbing, so this is a good point to end it. Take care wotlabs, it's been a weird ride from age

Uni work officially submitted and only grammatical/small math errors that need fixing for a passing degree in data engineering.. so I've got a lot of time on my hands now. I decided to commit back fully, only playing tier 10. Tier 9 is still the same, 4kable- but tier 10 is very different since I really quit maining the game. I came back to check my level - and mark the new rewards (Chief was a bitch but 279 was fkn easy lmao no clue what that fuzz is about) and then AFK until I had some free time again usually for about a week every 2 months of stuff I can focus completely on things lik

At long last the Spershing gets to have a fighting chance against its sworn enemy: the valley spawn on Westfield.

Well I broke my base XP personal best with 2015 base in a KV5?

Finally 3-marked the Bourrasque. Finished with a flourish: swapped to firepower setup for a solid Himmelsdorf game then back to spotting for a near-10k Malinovka game. Auxiliary Loadout + Second bonus slot are killer mods for the Bourrasque

Congratulations! For successful completion of the Second Front campaign personal missions you have received the following rewards: Bonds added: 1.750 Credits added: 800.000 step by step, little by little, i can already smell 279e (if i finish excalibur 15, im done)

pubbie might be wrong about his hackusations, but his gaydar is on point

Merry christmas to all you nerds

Overlord beach does provide some hilarious moments

I don't often get Radley Walters medals, so this was fun.

I highly recommend using Field Mods to allow two completely different playstyles on the French lights and mediums. First, sr360s stealth build (CVS/optics/exhaust) is awesome for maps where vision is king (prok, mur, red, etc.) For all other maps, running a gunfighter build (vents/vertstab/improved accuracy) is amazing as it fixes the awful gun handling and allows tanks like the Batchat and 13-105 to do lots of damage, even at distance. For teal players like me, making tanks like the Batchat able to deliver clip damage with dispersion of just 0.32 or better is an eye opener.

Gamers, my long time goal of unicum recents has been achieved has been about ever since I joined this forum.

Just recorded 4 YouTube videos with @sr360 and @TheChang - all about Full Stealth / Camo Torturer builds. Fun times!

Sr360 pointed out that i was dumb and didn't plan ahead to cheese the 121B 3 mark this week before the reqs went up. Not because of the dpm increase though - but because with bond vents, CVS and bounty LNES it's a camo torturer. http://wotreplays.eu/site/5935103#el_halluf-crabeatoff-121b http://wotreplays.eu/site/5934834#cliff-crabeatoff-121b Watch these replays and tell me it's not hilariously broken. 493 VR without optics. 35.5% camo on the move. More when sitting. What do you all think? Am i just a doddering washed up uniscum sticking to a dead meta - or does this look fun an

OK, full stealth build is LEGIT. Just raked up an insane session with a full stealth WZ-132A for another easy 3 mark. Here's a sample game-- I uploaded this with my first try at commentary.

Had a few months layoff due to busy busy IRL. But should be back to trolling around on NA soonish. Thank goodness that idiot crew system never mad it out of Sandbox!

I love WG support. "you got banned for unsportsmanlike conduct". "ok but for what exactly so that I can appeal" "you got banned for unsportsmanlike conduct. you must not know the rules. byeeeeeee" When the only moment I can think of is some moronic liberte who after camping decided to stop 5m in front of me and then immediately started driving back and being angry that buildings have walls on Ensk so I am unable to go back to give him more space...

Do you guys think ranked would be more enjoyable if it was 7v7 like brawl?

the Kunze Panzer... somehow this wound up in my garage lol Kinda like it? Feels like the tier 8 RU in terms of damage capability, 4k is super easy for that platform what I don't understand is why they gave it siege at all.. I've tried it but I have literally never gotten use of unless it is shooting down at someone in a ditch without having to drive down there myself (Redshire middle basically) Pretty sure they could remove it and this would play identically, totally pointless gimmick?

New siggy: Putting the 'try' in tryharding

I think they should add a mechanic that doesn't allow you to post to in- game chat until you do your HP in damage. As a scout main I won't be so biased to count spotting damage toward that total.

The AI in WoT is really good! With so many dialogue options it's probably the best immersive rpg I've ever played. It's like the AI is actually having a conversation and they react to your choices! Incredible!

Never seen this happen before

Would you say the game has improved over the last 6 months? I think it might be the first time the reception seems to have trended upwards for WoT since like 2014

Spotgetto 65 3-mark completed. Used a bounty LNES + bond optics + slotted CVS build AND a bounty LNES, bond vstab, bond vents build. Pretty grand way to enjoy the tank. It gets OVER 40% camo on the move once you max out the Field Modifications, plus you get 527 view range. And the gun is slow to aim, but accurate enough to scavenge. On maps where there's too many LTs or it's brawl mode then swap to the vstab build and play as normal (except you're really strong at clean-up because 41% camo moving and 482 VR). Not expensive either, because it's a pain to switch to HEAT.

Holy crap - 3 engineer keys from derping around in the event and got the new ASTRON.

Rheinmetall Stealthwagen 3 marked— first tier 10 LT 3 mark with this build. It’s hard to argue that this tank with field mods is a bottom-tier LT. It is probably a better all around light than many although it certainly isn’t as good at pure spotting as the Manti or T-100. With alternate config it does better on closed maps the Manti, and with field mods you can get your camo up to 46% or so.

I had a bit of an epiphany last night. It occurred to me that World of Tanks has the same sort of monetization that a mobile game has. We're essentially playing a mobile game with enhanced graphics.

Das Stealthpanzer 251 3-mark accomplished. This setup is remarkably consistent

So I got another chat ban. Apparently you can't use: Idiot STFU POS Cancer

322 almost 9 years, time to think of a nice topic for official forums i guess ;D

Wooo! Got my vacination appointment. 10 days. Went for moderna because the 2nd dose is faster from the 1st one meaning 7 weeks and I get to travel without paying a shit ton for PCR tests! Ironically the govt didn't tell anyone my age group (34) is eligible from yesterday.

Ranked got me my very first chat ban I think. Although, honestly, I cannot remember why that would be.

playing tanks again - so funny how the instant i turn on stream i potato entirely but off stream it's like.. almost back to normal

Mission complete! Reward: Vehicles added: Object 260 (crew 100%) Finally took head out of my ass and tried the HT15.4, took me 50 battles with Maus. Six years to get the 260, I didn't really try to complete the missions, got like 95% of them by just playing.

For every 'chat ban' I get I don't support WG. They want to chat ban me every time some muppet reports me for telling scouts who camp behind me to go F themselves, two can play that game. For every chat ban WG gives me in days, I won't support WG in any monetary support to them (buying tanks, gold, premium, etc) in months. So now that I'm chat banned for 4 days, no monetary support will be given to WG in 4 months. Fuck em. Nothings changed after a two year hiatus. WG supports the shitlords.

Welcome, you made your first post in the purple poaster section, where the posts need to be approved. Don't let that form of "censorship" scare you back into the lurk though.

Is it wrong that I unironically want teamkilling back so I can kill arty players?

Hallelujah! No more playing Hellcat or other shitty ass low tier TDs, finally got my 260. Just had to press battle button in my IS-4, of all unholy abominations, IS-4! ~20k combined for HT-15, first heavy match of the day.

LMAO. My brother got 2217 base XP in the Renegade. 8377 Damage 7 Kills. http://wotreplays.eu/site/5673852
