funny how he said “above tier 5% and you go on and list a bunch of tier 4 tanks.

Stock tanks are unreasonably shitty in WoT and there is little fun in playing a Tiger with a 7.5cm gun. It’s just sad how that is just accepted for the majority of the players that the first 50 to 100 battles in a new tank will be terrible because you’re essentially a tank of two tiers less except for the hit points.

I’d take that as challenge accepted. They are still fidling and muffling with sophisticated programs… And they are cheating. I know they might be better than me due … well being better than me and using those on top of it.

But when that starts to become apparent problem… I’d say there is nothing to be done while the bots surpass humans on tactical level… Until then… Must keep sharp ( thout not played for near half year now ) …

Oh god, the grind to a BB3 is hell in Navyfield, took me like a year and a half only to find out that the Bismark and literally the entire German BB line had few, if any redeeming qualities. I look at the people crying about WoT and just remember Navyfield…

And pray World of Warships doesn’t go the same way because DAMN did Navyfield kill itself like no other.

Nah, the stock grind is pretty bad. I often refer to it as the worst pay-to-win concept on WoT, since you can skip it by putting in money. (Which is what a lot of players really worried about their stats do as well.)

He isn’t saying that it’s impossible to grind or hard to get through – anyone can do it, it’ll just suck and that’s it.

Also that there are worse games out there doesn’t really make it any better. It’s like comparing shit to diarrhea and saying shit is good because diarrhea is worse.

I’m a “skilled” player as well according to the stats if that matters. :P

I’ve often seen a bot where its turret justs sticks 90 degrees to the right and stays like that until something happens. also it seems to always camp/lag behind the lines as if it’s arty.

ThaElf,

I fully agree with you. But I fear it will be worst than you think. The main problem will not be the full bots.
We are going in the direction of having real players behind the computer using bot programs to improve their performance (aiming for weak spots at max distance, faster reaction time, perfect leading shot, etc).

xoenus,

Actually with WG state of negation building better bots will be very lucrative for the people developing them.
And with time they will have bots that will play the game as well as good players. I saw it happening in some PvP MMO´s, after 1 or 2 years the bots got so good that many real good players used them to improve their response time, aiming, etc.

I will just give a small example (not talking about aiming better and at maximum distance because in a short time bots will do it better than the majority of players):

Mini-map. One of the most common errors of human WoT players is to be too much focused on his small battle and forget to observe the mini-map and decide the best course of action. Many times people kill their direct opponent after an hard fight just to discover that the enemy is capping and there is no time to decap. In the future bots will not make that mistake because they will react immediately to all mini-map available information and will act accordingly. Here is an area where the bots will be better than the majority of WoT players.

I fear that the future is not bright to WoT unless WG vigorously addresses this problem. It would be so easy to implement some kind of CAPTCHA mechanism.

But even that, in my opinion, will fail in the future because we are going in the direction of real players behind the computer using bot programs to get better aim, reaction times and overall analysis of the battlefield.

Because thats what we need. Less Creds for everyone to make ppl spend more money on prem acc and gold tanks. Dont dare to tell WG that.
Its hard enough to farm creds even with prem acc and prem Tank to buy a hell of tanks. Ever grinded 6 T9s at the same time wanting to buy 6 T10s? Thats ~40mio credits to spend.
A dmn pain in the ass….

So let a “skilled one” give you some advice. L2p.

Played SU101, SU100M1, 38NA, A-20 and many more. There is no Tank “impossible” to grind. Just look at all those tomato T10 lately (not bots. just retards) who managed it too.
WOT is one of the easiest and fastest grinding to top Tier MMO ever.
Try to grind youself a top Warship on Navyfield. THIS will get you some butthurt you never forget if you complain about WOT grinds.
