Anyone able to explain to me how out of 173 first shots made on me, 168 were barrel hits. No matter range, no matter cover…nothing. Automatic barrel hits taking you out from shooting.
Statistically, this is BS and needs to be fixed or the cheats banned
Context?
Maus or any big gun heavy tank or TD probably

We are told where to aim in arcade battles. It’s painfully easy to shoot barrels.
It’s even easy in realistic battles because the gun sight is still down the barrel.
Wiggling turret, being mobile lowers the chance of barrel hits.

Oh I see
These are 5.0-6.0. Yes barrel would be ideal but to sit there and know a player has a 100% chance to hit the barrel 100% of the time no matter distance or trees or anything?
These are not static shots. They are moving. The difference between a mantlet vs the barrel at 500m or more is pixels yet magically not an issue. Would you shoot a barrel 1st on a broadside shot? One you know you can kill? No, 1st shot will be into ammo rack. Not the case with these people.
Doesnt matter. Ive read up on the state of this game and the cheating thats as prevalent as in COD.
Why would they specifically cheat to shoot your barrel?
Have you not ever had a barrel shot out? What do you do? Throw rocks? It is a 100% way to kill a tank with zero risk. They shoot out barrel, pick around looking for the kill shot and right as you fix it, literally down to the second, they shoot it again.
Close yeah i get it but these are shots over 1km through trees and bushes. Average of 600m.
Oh cool…youre one of these people. Stats for a game like this? Seriously go get a girlfriend. I havent played this game in over 2 years as it is. Just started back up 3 days ago so yeah your stats are sooooo cool.
If they’re hacking, what’s the point of barrel shooting when they can just hit your weak spots to 1-tap you?

What does the comparative rating % mean?
Man i dont know. Same I thought unless its to hide the cheats since it wouldnt be 1 shot kills nonstop.
I very much doubt hackers can conceal their hacks to that extent, because you can watch replays and see how they’re snapping to targets, etc. If you’re playing arcade, players do tend to shoot barrels because ‘green = shoot’

That’s not what’s happening.
Shooting a barell is very easy and natural thing to do.
If someone was hacking they would use their cheats to track you behind walls and 1 hit kill you without you even realizing they could see you, they wouldn’t waste time on shooting barells. It wouldn’t give them out, if anything them shooting barells non stop without going for obvious one shots would be way more suspicious.

It’s not cheating. Developers have just made it too easy to disable guns.
It’s terrible game design and reduces the playability of heavy tanks. Just like Gaijin hates bombers, I think they have a grudge against heavy tanks too.
Current meta is fast small vehicles with quick-firing guns. Barrel-shooting allows them to thrive.
its the nicer of the two
its comparing you to other players, instead of a theoretical best possible player
So if you have like 99% does it mean that you are in the top 1% percentile?
are we coping rn?
Yeah thats how it was when i quit playing 2 years ago but you cant sit there and tell me a player can spin 90 degrees at 1km and pop a shot to disable the barrel continously.
Cheaters arent dumb. It would be too easy to find them in the data by 1st hit kill %. How easy would it be to look and then compare a cheater hitting barrels/gunners 1st then getting the kill to any other person?
Its just totally improbably for every single match to result in 1st hit being barrel 2nd being kill. Given every other potential spot to hit yet its never nothing but barrel or 1 hit kill shots.
Only 1 tank have a found they dont do it and thats the JEAGERPANTHER…then they just kill the gunner every time.
Doesnt matter. Sick and tired of the cycle. Either killed 1st shot, you kill them 1st shot or you sit there repairing barrels until someone does. Hell of a game play loop
