Another abismal day playing alongside pot shotting kids. At night time, it’s the toxic US kids invading and poluting the EU servers after midnight, when all our kids are in bed here. What makes me laugh is that when you winge at players sitting back, they start insulting you like they always know best.
ONLY 4 WINS IN MY LAST 12 GAMES! It’s the gameplay that players have no choice but to put up with that causes toxicity within the game.
Another day of playing, and now it’s even worse. Only 2 wins but 10 losses. It’s getting beyond a joke and not fun anymore. This game is being destroyed from the inside.
Every single loss, I was watching my so called team mates hang back pot shotting. Of course, because they refused to move, the enemy homed in and killed them.
Pot shotting is loser gameplay. Not just my opinnion, I have seen enough games being lost BECAUSE of it.
What BR are you playing?
And how good are you doing in those matches?
All my tanks are at rank4, just about to break into Rank 5 with the UK, US, Germany and Israel.
I normaly rush forward (not up to the zone) to the nearest bit of cover close to the zone so I can carefully advance to try to take the zone. I never sit back taking pot shots, I’m not a coward, it’s not my style. I don’t care one iota about my K/D ratio. Having 10 kills means bugger all if you still LOSE. There are a couple of reasons I have observed on many occasions that cause the losses.
Players sit back taking pot shots, but whats worse is that once they’ve fired, they don’t move so the enemy home in, and kill them. That makes them sit even further back, away from the zones we are supposed to be taking. They are now so far away that buildings and slight hills are in the way so now they can’t even cover those of us that are trying to win by taking zones because they can’t even see us from under the rock they found to hide behind. I normally find “pot shotters” end up being 7/10 times base locked and spawn killed.
This one is just as important for tactics. It amazes me how many players at rank 4 “STILL” have no idea what light tanks are for. They have no idea why they are light and fast with not alot of armour. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of players who DO know how to use a light tank, but given how many supposed tens of thousands of players that play every day, Players with the know-how are still in the minority.
Light tanks are for reconaissance. They can whiz ahead using cover to scout and spot enemies. They have a gun so they can defend themselves to a certain point with the paper thin armour, but it’s the speed that can get them out of trouble as quick as they got in to trouble. Without the spotting, enemies can dissapeare on the map just as quick as they appeared… BUT… if they are scouted and spotted for the team, they can no longer try creeping up on the team and flank and kill because they stay on the map to be seen, no matter where they try to hide, they can’t get away. Always know where the enemy is so they don’t get an advantage. It’s not complicated rocket science, can’t they see the “Scout button” on the bottom of the screen?
I’ve lost count of how many times i’ve been surprised and out numbered because 2 or 3 tanks come round the corner out of nowhere. I might take out one of them but the others just obliterate me, sometimes i don’t even get to fire. This is despite at least 1 or 2, or more, light tanks on the team. They refuse to spot for the team. If you have a whinge at the team, you get childish comments thrown saying “get better with your 1 kill”, or “skill issue”. It doesn’t register in thier heads that people lose because of a lack of TEAM WORK and TACTICS.
Yes, it’s only a game, but it’s a war game with war machinery, and YES, war tactics DO work in this game.
