WTF is going on with my W/R

[TheDarkElbow 42]

So recently I purchased both the Obj 140 and Ru 251. Both are fantastic machines. My recent W/R used to be around 55% and now its plummeting. I've basically been solely playing those two tanks as of late and I'm doing very well in them. (or at least in my shitlord mind I am) Especially in my 140 I have 43% W/R. This is baffling me because my current average dmg in the tank is 2710. My overall wn8 for the day (52 battles) was 2319 and W/R for the day was an even 50%. I'm playing better than I ever have before on a more consistent basis yet I can't scrape together any sort of decent W/R. What can I do to make this suffering end?

Welcome to Miros effect: Dank WN8 at the cost of WR.

How2fix? Platoon. 

Edit: Replays please? that way we can see how exactly you deal damage, because sometimes dealing more damage isn't the way to win.

[Fulvin 340]

You have 23 games in the 140. WR in that small number of games is about as relevant a stat as distance driven.

[Snoregasm2 646]

What @Fulvin said. Look at your w/r after 100 games or more, not 23.

[Siimcy 3,522]

2 man platoons I find to be the best. If you two can cooperate good together you can achieve nice WR + WN8. I dislike 3 man platoons because too much dmg stealing.

I sometimes had a week full of sub 45%wr for no damn reason. I'd give it time.

@Nekommando Ill find some replays and Ill post em when I get out of class. I have a 9:30 today

~2300 wn8 in the 140 means roughly 2k DPG?

You're only carrying your weight so I would expect it to be ~50% w/r anyways.

2300 is about 2.5-3k damage, depending on kill amount

I get it as 2300 WN8 => 2.4k damage for the 140 given typical frag/spot/def ratios. WN8 is highly non-linear. Even superuni WN8 (2800) only needs around 2.7k damage.

WN8 tends to come out very low on short runs, so 2.7k damage => 2.3k WN8 isn't unusual for a daily result.

That damage output should give you around 55%+ solo winrate in the long run, assuming that you're not playing a really bad style, but the error on winrate is so high that isn't worth looking at below 1k battles.

You might be fixating on your dpg and wn8 too much instead of trying to put yourself into good positions that will help you win.

You called?

WN8: 2 484 (87)WR: 2/7 28.57%

[Joyrider216 1,028]

Pls, 20 games 5k wn8 40% wr ;_;

[Private_Miros 2,969]

Honestly, my issue is just that I constantly switch between tanks and am an incosistent player to begin with. Plus I have maps where I'm really good at, and maps where I'm sure that I don't even reach 1000WN8.

I have wild swings per session in performance.

WN8:    5 767 (100)
WR:    4/5    80.00%

As a random Lowe I met in a random battle once said, and I quote:

WR is all luck.
