If you really want to be technical Vietnam was not a war it was a policing action. The U.S. is not at war until congress declares war, we just called it a war because it was easier to say and complain about.

this is pure speculation but i think part of the reason they would give away high tier tank crews is to try and get people to grind towards those tanks (or free xp’ing their way) which would provide WG with some revenue from premium time, premium ammo, premium tanks, etc.

the E5 is a damn good tank and is very popular too. i myself plan on moving my crew to the event tanks to play them so i can get xp on the crew then the free retrain back.

do you know why are ppl playing horrible? wz111, get the kills omg yolo that guy for the kill, really frustrating, i can barely play, cant wait for this christmas time to end so thing finnaly go back to normal
regarding skill based mm, i personally enjoy playing vs better players, wich happens mostly between 00:00-02:00 in tier 10, although i would like “randoms” with better players it would make queue times very long and also unicums are maybe 3% of playerbase ( have fun waiting for a game ) and the rerolls would pollute high skill games, even though they are good players but while i am personally not an unicum i do know some unicums and the way they think so just way above mine for ex., very diffrent pov, my stats are good because i dont even know why, since some days i play for like 4k wn8 and the next day for 1,5, imo i would like to be mached up in more skilled battles, it would make me want to get better… or at least remove this bullshit requirements of the missions so maybe we dont get yolos that ruin the game, maybe the games would be longer than emmm 4 min
make a new server 8000+ player rating xD see where it gets us

pretty sure i do understand, also… playing an instrument is not comparable to sports… but sitting on a chair staring at pixels on a screen, is?

Keep the logic coming, much lulz

Chaffee sports xp went on the T1, but the crew were retrained to Chaffee crews.

Im always saying that server wn8 entry should be the best. Pepole with – 1000 wn8 should play on server 1, and ones with 1000+ would play on other server, . In this way we would get, less bots,noobs and newbies in t7-10 games. Bot players are not banned, got 3 of them in my friends list to see when they will stop playing. But it looks like, having a premium or premium tank wont get you banned, couz all 3 got 10k+ battles, and premium tanks. Anyway, this system is used in many f2p fps games, and no one cries that is bad.

He said he was good in the T40. Not that he was good at every tank.

Most people don’t want this kind of skilled MM, rather then MM being able to outweight UNICUM platoons and horde of tomatoes. I really don’t consider so much fun loosing 8 battles one after another with constant outcome close to 15:1 or 15:3 with me as top dmg dealer and half of the team with zero. Why MM is not able to outweight unicums with few more blue/greens and rather put full tomato team against them?

the whole problem with all of this is that noobish-ness is relative. an excellent rated player with 12k games is a noobie compared to a unicum with 24k games. also, if you have 30 unicums all playing in a game, a single unicum won’t be carrying the games, and thus there stats would decline, as in their environment (i.e. surrounded by other unicums) they are nothing but an ‘average’ player.

just from a gameplay point of view as well, you would rarely see those incredible 10k damage games any more because you would have tomatoes to farm damage from. you would then have the problem of people deliberately jumping into a battle and then sitting there refusing to do anything for the team in order to kill their stats to get back down into a lower league which is probably worse than the tomatoes who at least can be used as meat shields.

edit to the above bit because i’m a noob on FTR. the only way in my opinion of achieving skill based match making that still makes the games interesting and variable is to make two teams that are as shit (or as good) as each other. still keep the tomatoes but have an even number of shit players on both teams. the number of times i have seen a fuck tard on one team and a unicum on the other and they are driving the same tank (and the winrate is something like 35%) and i’ve just thought “swap the two players”, boom problem solved skill based matchmaking complete.
