getting matched against tons of tier 10 Professional Tank Masters that i can rarely pen as a tier 8 is loving dumb

the biggest problem i have with this game is being matched against tanks two tiers above me that completely outclass my tank. the learning curve is steep enough that i don't feel like i should have to memorize every single tank's 80mm Magic Weak Spot just so that i might be presented with an opportunity to contribute in some meaningful way besides sitting in afk bush with a bag of doritos spotting for my team. this is my first tier 8 tank and i have no business playing against a fully loaded maus tanklord that i can only hope to pen from the rear

Honestly, generally the weak spots are lower front plates, the cheeks of turrets, cupolas (bumps on top of turrets) or anything that isn't a perfectly smooth sheet of metal. If it looks funny, shoot the gently caress out of it. I don't memorize weakspots and while I'm not super great at the game, I'm good and my failings aren't a lack of knowing where to shoot tanks (it's more that my ability to read games isn't great, and in my quest to not die stupidly 30s into the game I play overly cautious).

FWIW you can shoot through the front of a Maus on a good (flat) shot with most Tier 8 guns if you load gold (shoot the little flat flaps hanging down in front of his tracks, iirc). Packing a healthy amount of gold (I'm gold-phobic because I'm always broke as gently caress on credits, so I pack like 3:1 silver ammo: gold ammo) is pretty much a requirement of playing well, because you need ways to overcome higher tier tanks that have lots of armor.

Also, don't be afraid to run away. It's super annoying to have to repeatedly run from fights in a slow heavy, but it's better than flailing ineffectually against something's armor. If I'm bottom tier in a game, I tend to try to go to the spot where pub mediums generally go, you'll be able to slice through the sides of most mediums no problem.
i totally agree with everything you've said, once i started doing the things you and other people in this thread described, i became way more productive. however when im matched against tier9/10 teams, it seems to me like you could play a t-44(the tank i play) perfectly - take as few risks as possible, engage in only the most favorable encounters, spot enemy traffic, and still ultimately amount to very little value. im also bad though, so there's that

How the gently caress do you guys deal with e100/e75 in a basic medium? I can't seem to do poo poo to them in my t-54 unless I'm literally staring at a 90 degree angle into their rear end in a top hat. Is that pretty much standard poo poo or am I just bad

Everytime I see one I'm just like "k ill never pen him, even if I'm flanking for a buddy he'll just rightfully ignore me, I'm going somewhere else"

In what ways is AW supposed to be different from WoT? Even when watching streams of AW I can hardly tell it's a different game. Is it just WoT with modern tanks?

the pubbie argument against winrate being a meaningful stat is pretty amusing.

Are there resources anywhere with suggestions on popular places to go with X tank? I find that I sometimes end up in really stupid places for whatever tank I'm using and now that I'm getting into games with tier 10 big boy tanks it's starting to hurt.

My TK policy is as follows:

  • kill friendly pubs with low health towards the end of a winning match and watch them have a meltdown in chat
  • kill friendly pubs that are mouthing off
  • kill friendly pubs that bump me while I'm aiming
  • track friendly pubs that are going to finish off an enemy tank before I get a shot

Also, I got a handful of hourly bans, then a 7 day ban, and last night got my first 30 day ban. You're safe until you start powering through those hourly bans I think.

Last night we had some loving jackoff that got mad at the team, decided not to participate, and hid behind a rock. I hit that guy with some good poo poo and got immediately banned.
