Well it might be mostly me switching between the 2 performances but believe me when I tell you top tier is much more reliant on a stable game experience than other tiers.
I have also played rhis game since 2014 on about 4 different performance computers and have probqbly more experience in this regard compared to you. I have never done as well as I do now with a PC that can run this game at a stable high fps.
wait, hold a minute, france???
nahh i removed france entriearly
i’m a pro PC builder (at least i, and others, think so) - if you can get a new PC just tell me you’re budget and i’ll create a list of parts. oh and also as you get closer and closet to top teir, tanks become 1 shot kills unless you’re A: REALLY lucky or B: REALLY good at positioning/angle-ing
if you’re not having a problem with Leopard I and APDS you’re probably either a super pro at this game or you’re just extremely lucky.
my main problem with APDS is not penetration. my problem is that because it lacks explosive mass and on top of that its a subcaliber round, its extremely difficult to one shot, or even paralyse people with it unless you hit ammunition or shoot at the perfect angle. sometimes i can shoot someone several times without them being destroyed, simply because i can’t hit ammunition.
well most of the time not being able to one shot is okay until your target cannot hit back.
the problem is with the teammates. they steal your kill before you have the time to reload.
so you’re left with a bunch of assists and little to no kills which will destroy you’re K/DR
also using shells with no explosive mass means that you can either get the turret or the mobility parts (engine, transmission, ext…)
if you hit mobility parts and immobilize your target, it can easily turn its turret and kill you.
if you go for the turret (barrel, breach, gunner) it can get to a cover before you can shoot again.
from where are you getting these statistics?
im just asking this because im a rookie.
Statshark :)
It’s a third party website so i would not recommend using your Gaijin login details there, but you can get a lot of information without logging in :)
I know it is difffcult for players when they are plying for the first time post-cold war era tanks. But trust me, at top tier , whe have only apds/apfsds (the same darts). Apds is a very powerful shell, it can one shot evreything (relistic) u need to know were to aim, ammoraks, fuel tanks, motar( from behind) if you want to use something with expolsive, then its HEAT, but at hiher tiers, there useless.(good for light tanks.) Try playinf GRB
Do you really care about your K/D that much?
Afaik you cannot even do that. If you choose to login you just give your username and then you get a message or friend request ingame and you just tell the website that it happened. You never give them your login details.
I’ve been trying to repair my K/D for a while… do you think my current K/D of 0.85 is okay?
also what factor do you think is the most important in player evaluation?
I never put much weight into K/D anyway it’s a quick stat that only tells you something if it’s excedingly bad or good or if it stands out by being really low for a good vehicle(bad players really show up there)
I have no idea what player evaluation you mean.
I don’t think Realistic and Arcade are that much different in game physics.
Edit: ADFSDS is much tolerable than APDS. at least for me. as you pointed , APDS is very powerful “if you know where to aim” i think my problem is that i don’t know where to aim. weakspot priorities are different for APDS comparing to APHE that im used to. and its probably why im suffering. what do you suggest for this issue of mine?
I’ve tried realistic a couple of times and honestly it introduces so much pressure on my brain. the fact that you need to always be aware of every single pixel of your screen tires my eye muscles and my brain.
and having a potato PC like me makes that 10 times harder.
I should probably finally move on to realistic at some point but the best time for it will be when I finish grinding Germany. then i will probably move on to realistic after starting my next country; basically starting from scratch with low tier.
if i move to realistic now i will get vaporized every time after even leaving spawn. because im facing players that have a lot of experience with realistic , while having no experience myself.
I mean which factor is the most important when telling good and bad players apart?
First I look at lvl. If it’s below 40 it’s a quite new player. Below 70 relatively new. above 70 they should
know what they are doing.
But that is only the first criterium. I then look at their most played vehicles (sometimes premium players really stick out) and if they don’t have really bad K/D they probably are a good player.
Sometimes you find people which have really good K/D but mostly people are around 1-2 and that is perfectly normal. I usually only look at the most played vehicles because everyone started somewhere and if they had really bad stats when they started it can skew the general data.
well, i was shit too when i chaged to realistic. But i learned all the weak spots, but its up to you, but if you strat learning to play realistic, grinding and warthuder will make more fun. and at that ranked, they still donnt know what there doing. If you dont want to learn all the wakspots, just use HEAT and see for your self
whats your opinion on my current skill level? considering I’m just level 26.
Ok guys. just a quick update on this.
I finally managed to unlock HEATFS rounds for my Leopard I and they’re overpowered.
I’m a lot less frustrated now.
HEATFS is literally op compared to APDS. it has more pen , a larger effect area and blows up light tanks on impact.
