I was thinking – how WG could heal this mode? Only way to attract users, is to give you tank and ammo, at the end you pay used ammo and damage, also you can play only in researched tanks, make more realistic balance, not necessary 15×15 tanks on field and that’s it. You get some random tank, with appropriate ammo and crew and thats it, maybe if you have crew that passed training for some tank, you can get your crew. Everything else will screw up this mode.

I WAS IN THAT HELLCAT YOU KILLED :D
these battles were really fun but i guess as you lost all the time it wasnt that fun for you…. I knew i should have switched to tiger II to join your team…

With new maps, the response would have been overwhelming.

Historical battles is somewhat interesting but than again not. I mean sure i think its cool to have 15 t6s vs like 5 tigers or w,e but that doesn’t want to make me want to play it.

WG made this mod more or less exactly as people demanded it (more low tier tanks vs less high tier tanks), no gold ammo (or in limited quantaties), what else do you want? HB are exactly as wg announced them and they suffer from the exact problems predicted by wg:

Not nearly enough interested in HB (hell even 1st day there wasnt more than 300 people in all 3 battles out of 100k on eu1)
of those interested, people want to play just top tier’s, making que impossible
there is like 3:1 ratio of german : alies tanks in que, and german tanks are the ones that should make smaller teams.

you can call me what you want, but if im one thing i would call it realist, and the rest can just stay in corner whining how this game is not how they want it to be…

I tried to play HBs twice, always quited after 2 minutes of wait and sold tiger II (which is the only tank in my garage that fits HBs).

Double Sigh.

Those are my own personal expectations. I don’t know what expectation other people had, but clearly no one expected what we got in the end.

Yep SS, it’s impossible to say if HB is bad..I tried, as a lot of others did, to get in with T70, but never got into any match..So I just gave up. It will be hard for WG to get ppl to play HB again I am afraid.
To think that at one point WG actually said MM broke because NOT ENOUGH people picked lowtier or light tanks!

Well I have tried to get into kursk battle with t-34 and t-70 and i have always failed to get in. But when i pick su-152 its pretty much instant. So for me it gives me an imperssion that MM just ignores some tanks in queue.

I have played all the historical battles with both sides with strong tanks and with cannon fodders.
