But E25 memes. Just think of the seal clubbing. 

“Experimental Powder increases tank concealment  after firing by 10%“...
I could go on, but there’s too much stupid to cover before my morning coffee. Typical WG convoluted mess masquerading as a solution to a not even secondary concern of the player base.

K BRO,,, THESE GUYS GONNA BS U, TRUTH IS NO ONE GETS OVER 2400 WIN8 WITHOUT HACKS. FIRST U GET WARPAK TO START AND LERN THE BASICS, ONCE U GET GUD @BASICHACKS U LEARN 2 WRITE UR OWN HACK CODE 2 MATCH UR PLAY STYLE. PM ME BRO
PEACE

Tiers 5-7 are pretty great learning environments. Tier 1 is not a tier to keep playing at pretty much no matter what, and tiers 2 and 3 are brutal to new players. If you want to actually learn how to play then push up to tier 5 and 6 as fast as you can. look for codes that give days of premium and XP personal reserves and use those to grind out lower tier tanks in a few hours. Completing the tutorial on a new account should give you a free tier 6 tank token. the Russian KV-2, T-150, and T-34-85, the British Cromwell, and Italian P43 bis are all great tier 6 tanks to get started with. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask, everyone here is really friendly.

When a horse and a narwhal love each other very much . . . 

tape a used toilet paper roll to your head like this guy.

Why not. We haven't seen a new Soviet heavy tank since last week.

Oh thank God WG finally did something about that non Russian tank. Can't have an auto re-loader that is good other than the premium ones. I hope they nerf the shit out of the Centurion AX next. Give it a 17 pounder or something.

Follow instructions. Tape to forhead.

I don't disagree that the nerf itself is a bad idea in its current iteration, but the reasoning behind it is quite sound. On the most populated server 25% of the tanks in tier 10 match making are progetto's, and if you ad in the 430U it goes up to 42%. I wouldn't be surprised to see games of just those two tanks. That is a serious problem for WG that they have a strong incentive to fix. I think the fix in question is pretty dumb, but they are trying to fix an actual problem. Admittedly the problem isn't a problem for us, and the solution is a problem for us, but we're actually seeing WG try to fix a problem. They haven't tried to fix a problem since patch 9.18 gave us 3-5-7. I don't even know when they successfully fixed a problem last.

Hi, new player here...someone suggested this was a great place to learn from others. I've played pvp's in the past, not so much recently but isolation has pushed me back into gaming. Found world of tanks and giving it a go    My intention is to learn at the lower tiers first before moving up.

does the back of the turret look like a T100 lt turret to anyone else? 

You're probably in a similar position to where I was about 2-3 years ago so I am speaking from personal experience. Here a few things I did.
Critique your gameplay. Harshly if you have to. I did this mostly in battle, but the best players will often watch their own replays to figure out even the smallest mistakes. Look for the big stuff first. Where things went wrong. When you lost HP for no good reason. When and where you die. Look for consistent factors over multiple battles. Never blame your teammates for consistent mistakes. You are the only constant factor over any significant number of battles. Accepting this now will help you grow as a player. Shitty teammates cost you games, but not enough to make a dent in your win8/winrate over thousands of battles. Play for fun. I know this is pretty typical, but most players play worse when they are angry. Angry players tend to play more aggressively, take bigger risks, and generally make easily punishable mistakes. If you're mad at tanks, take a break.  Try 3 marking a tank. 3 Marking isn't just something unicums do. It is an excellent learning experience. 3 marking teaches you consistency so get out your favorite tank and push yourself in it.  Get out of your comfort zone. Kinda the opposite of above, play tanks you are not super comfortable in. If tier 9 or 10 isn't your thing, try it. You may find a tank you love and you will learn a lot by playing in tanks that push your limits. Ammunition choices. Shoot ammunition that will work. If you see a superheavy, shoot gold at it. Don't waste your time trying to hit the hatch on top of a type 5 when you can press the 2 key and go right through the front. Glass TD asking for a paddling? Hit that sucker with HE and get some extra damage. Shooting the right shell at the right time will greatly improve your damage per game. Learn armor models. some tanks have really easy to exploit weaknesses or complete BS armor schemes. Tanks.gg is a great resource to learn armor models and compare stats of tanks. Finally be patient. It takes time to improve. This is a lot of what I did. It took years to drag my stats out of the green and into the cyan/teal zone, but it isn't impossible. The first 10k battles I played I was a red shitter, but now I can play at a sub-unicum level with enough coffee or alcohol. If you're into watching livestreams, there are a couple of really good threads on good streamers to watch and @kolni (a washed out WoT god) recently started streaming.
