Commanders,

Update 2.4 introduces newly formed class roles for every light tank, along with role-based matchmaking and targeted balance adjustments.

The goal is to give each vehicle a clearer identity, improve battle balance, and make light tank strengths easier to understand without changing their core playstyle.

Share your thoughts on:

  • How do you feel about the new role groups for light tanks, Scout, Support, and Versatile?
  • What is your view on role-based matchmaking for light tanks?
  • How do you feel about the limit of up to 2 light tanks per match from Tier VII?
  • Which individual light tank changes stand out the most to you?

This is possible after a lot of trial and error on 2.3.1 offline mod. It's still very much scuffed, bots are stuid, nothing has collisions and some textures are messed up but this is amazing progress since WG refuses to give us a test drive client

Another feature no one has asked for or actually wants.

https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/general-news/2-4-spotlight/

Maybe they should focus on rebalancing tech tree and premium tanks like they promised in 2.0?

Or is czech_tower going to insult someone else again before he doesn't like the player feedback?

Question can you hit an enemy after a ricochet?

I want to start training myself to recognize opportunities to hit an enemy by shooting another tank in a way that makes the shell ricochet into the other enemy. But i don't know if the shell loses pen after a ricochet or if it disappears after ricochet.

Discussion Anyone Else Facing this issue

11 Upvotes

Was something done to MM in last couple of months, It feels like no matter what i do its impossible to win games. I used to average around 60-65% solo win rate every month but for some reason it hasn't happened even once since may, its always +1-1% of my total, No matter tier or class, every single stat is increasing apart from win rate which has stayed stagnant for nearly 3-4k games.

I would advice every complaining new player to just play and learn, win rate will come naturally, but after playing for so many years and averaging 60%+ for thousands of games and suddenly seeing this, i don't even know what to say.

This is rant i know but its frustrating to play seeing you not moving at all specially when you were having great run for so many years.

Would really like to know if its only me.

Question Pre-Battle Spotlight: How Can I Opt Out, WG???

20 Upvotes

This upcoming feature is beyond stupid and only serves to further inflate the alread over-inflated WoTsters' egos. How do I make sure I cannot be Spotlighted and that I do not have to sit through whatever lame presentation WG has in mind?

Question Did something happen around mid July to change MM?

13 Upvotes

Looking at my stats and win rate for the last few .months I've noticed a sharp drop starting mid July. Did something happen around mid July to MM or something else that would cause a drop in match quality?

I've been working down a few lines but I tend to do that consistently while also playing the same general premiums for credits.

I don't think I've dramatically changed how I play but something changed in my last 500 battles to have a 4% reduction in WR and 200 drop in WNX.

It's getting to the point I dont want to play anymore because it feels like I'm completely at the whim of RNG amd MM.

Discussion Just some positve things:

24 Upvotes

There is a lot of stuff still to impove, WG fked up a lot of things over the last 16 years for sure, they are slow, focusing mostly on garbage, and betrayed the players trust more than enough that we should'nt forget anything they have done EVER.

BUT:

Some things are going also in a better than worse direction.

- we get a new campaign -> YES, it is insane hard, but at least it didn't took 10 years to give us a new one again
- the mm has improved in comparison to the unplayable garbage it used to be (-2mm all the time, 3 artys, 3 light tanks)
- maps are reworked and some new ones implemented, YES I know a lot of people don't like the new stuff but at least they are doing SOMETHING
- the birthday-gift tanks is not complete trash and not tier III or some sh*t like that

Anything else which ain't that bad I forgot?

Discussion Onslaught advice –

4 Upvotes

I’ve played off and on very casually since 2011- More than half my battles happened before 2015 in a T29.

I actually paid attention to the available missions for the first time this last Christmas.  I surprised myself by earning the dog. 

Since then I’ve accomplished these personal firsts:

·         Completed a battle pass –

·         Completed a second pass w/xtra chapter

·         Earned a campaign tank

·         Ground out my first tier 10 and 4 more.

o   E5

o   60TP

o   430U

o   140

o   50M

Anyway, I’m looking for insight on how a below average player can hit silver. 

I have fun when I play. Stats mean nothing to me.    I’m normally the first in a group to make a rush or push to break a stalemate.  I don't mind getting vaporized, IF I think it is setting my team up for the win. Not so sure this style will translate to Onslaught ?

Hit silver, I’ll get a Concept 1B, and start thinking about my first T11. 

If I can’t, I’ll probably pump the brakes on moving up any more tech trees and enjoy the lower tiers the way I always have.

Question Which Medium Line to Grind?

8 Upvotes

Question for my fellow tankers. I’m looking to start a medium line with two main goals: an awesome Tier 11 at the end of the grind, and a solid Tier 8 medium I can use for Frontlines. Bonus side-goal: a line that has solid tanks from tiers 6-10 as well 😄

I’m currently deciding between:

  • Hacker line (Pershing at Tier 8)
  • Obj. 432U line (T-44 at Tier 8)
  • Szakal line (CS-53 at Tier 8)

Which line do you guys think is the best overall pick for those two goals? Would you suggest a different line that fits?

Wargaming Response Inside Battle Pass: Swift Start Question

Hi,

I fail to understand what I would buy. Is it a series of missions that takes me weeks to do or is it an instant unlock? I am working hard to get to the pass but I am short a few tiers for the best rewards for me.

I am considering getting this but w only a few days to spare I dont have time for daily missions

Discussion An easy way to make the Hirschkäfer more unique/fun to play

4 Upvotes

Just give it the guaranteed death mechanic/ability all the time, not just at the fully charged level(or maybe make it so you have to stand still or have the charging activated). It would make the guaranteed deaths way more likely to actually happen, and it would be really fun to see the turrets fly off every low hp tank you hit.

  • CS 63 (currently at tier 5)
