I'm Stuck

[Grimoire_of_Alice 30]

So I just had this game in the T44, standard battle on Sigfried Line. It was a tier 10 battle and I tried a few ways that I could get dmg. Only ended up just farming the side turrets of enemy tanks shooting at my allies when the game was already lost. How could I have affected this game in a meaningful way when most of the tanks were in the city and invisible tanks with far superior view ranges would spot me when I tried spotting field?

Just looking at the results tab I can already tell your team was full of mega shitters.  I mean a T57 pulling off 1 shot from his clip? The E4 only firing 1 shots worth of damage before dying, and being halfway up the team list by damage?  

 

I'll take a look and give a better opinion later today but it honestly looks like your team was doomed to fail from the start.  Sometimes there are matches that can't be carried, no matter how Carbonward you are......

Yeah, I had xvm disabled at the moment because I was too lazy to update it. Also, that downvote was totally uncalled for. Save it for when I actually make a shit poast :e

You played way too passive in that match to have any sort of impact on the outcome. All of your damage was at the very end when your team was already dead.

 

In order to win those games as bottom tier, you need to be at the front line or close to it to sway the movement of enemies and deter/counter or punish pushes.

 

Within the first few minutes of the match you spot all of their top tier tanks in city, including their tier 10 mediums. You also get lit from field when trying to go down the 5/6 line.

 

This tells you several things:

1. None of their top tier tanks are on field (including mediums*)
2. There is at least one light tank on field

You should've pinged the map telling the pubbies to push field and continued down the 5/6 line onto the ramp to get side shots/distract.

 

After running away from field you go towards the IS-3 near the 7/8 line rubble pile and you instantly regret your decision and run away.

 

If you're going to a position like that, at least have a plan in mind instead of (seemingly) mindlessly driving around. You could easily poke out sideways and be hull down to spot any tanks in the area and make sure they aren't pushing; you can leave that position just as easily and at most have gotten out ~15 seconds later but with much more information about the enemy.

 

Finally, you go to the 9 line and snipe at an E-50. At which you put him within 1 shot range for any player on your team. You should've pushed down 0 line immediately to take him out.

 

By doing so you would've opened up more opportunities for yourself and your team.

1. 0 line is now clear and you can shoot into their entire F line tanks
2. could possibly continue down 0 line, kill the T71, and then kill arty
3. distract at least a tier 10 to buy some time

Either way, you would've made the enemy uncomfortable and forced them to do something they were hesitant on doing.

 

Don't worry about the fact about being bottom tier.

Thinking like this usually sets yourself up for failure. It doesn't matter how bad your team is, defeats are inevitable and they are going to happen.

 

Having a "bad" team is no excuse to play badly nor is it an excuse for bad play.
