It's true. I've been around since summer 2013 and the game was a lot more active and better then, no matter what anyone says.

Who creates the non-pro battles? There is hardly any choice and what happened to maps like skyscrapers? I don't know how anyone in their right mind can think these updates are of benefit to the game. There used to be more battles, more variety and more players online. Like another guy said, most games are blowouts and non-competitive. Maybe I'm online at the wrong time of day or something.

Wow I can't believe you don't have high-caliber ammo at your rank. Railgun without alt is like comparing a pistol with a cannon.

Is M4 firebird worth it or stick with rail/rico?

I was on the test server earlier today... was that the match making system they were testing out? If so then I can't see myself playing this game for much longer as you can't choose the map you want to play on or who you want to play with / against... it just drops you into a random battle which is not enjoyable and removes all choice from the game.

There's a bug with ricochet. When I switch to ricochet during battle I can't turn the turret and it won't shoot. It only works when I get killed or self destruct.

I didn't realise that alteration cost 100,000. No way is it in the same class as compact tanks or high-caliber ammo.

Back in the good old days all you had to do was log in and play. You could create a battle on any map you want. No daily missions either.

My instinct is to attack and push forward all the time. If I create a noob account with mammoth and magnum I find myself moving forward without even realising.

How many active players does WOT have?

Yes I think so too. I only need another 36,000 crystals to get viking M4, but it will take 23 days to get there. I'm still waiting for step 17 to complete.

They nerfed the repair kit, so now noob titans can't play the tactic of waiting until they're almost dead before pressing 1.

Yes. Viking handles slightly better when you get close to M4 but perhaps more weight would add some much needed stability.

Hmm, saving it for a gold box could explain why a lot refuse to activate it. I just assumed they didn't know what it was. I guess no one cares about winning a battle anymore.

I wish they would remove it. Makes battles more unbalanced especially when people aren't aware it exists.

Near the end of this battle there were three team members sat around the flag and none of them would use overdrive. I end up doing all the work so we don't lose.

I made this point a few days ago. I have enough crystals to go from 15/20 to 18/20 on viking, but it will take 3 weeks to complete... ridiculous.

My next speed up would be 15,000 crystals, but the next MU is 32,000. Not worth it for me.

Which of these turrets should I save for to use with viking - Twins Isida Hammer ?

The game has become very, very dull of late. There needs to be focus on utilizing the special characteristics of each turret as well as encouraging tactics, rather than the focus on supplies and overdrive. Players also need to be allowed to create their own battles, as it's just the same maps over and over again.

What's the best M4 weapon against legend ranks? I'm thinking isida, but I don't have it.

Whatever. Go find someone else to bother kid. You're not even at my rank.

The only thing worse than lag is the EU2 server full of M4 hackers.

I'm pulling my hair out with this tank... just one little plasma from twins is enough to knock viking completely off balance.
