Teams are just awful.

Just played 16 games and only won 2 of them. I mean I'm not saying I'm great or anything and being let down but it's just ridiuclous the number of botters in the game. Every game has at least 2 people that never move never fire never even try. Why the hell do they even play?

Not surprising at all. It's always been that way. Generally, if I lose 4 in a row I'm gone; and I don't touch it again for a while.

Nothing that allegedly "random" should be that awful. It really shouldn't. I've never seen any other game since I first started playing computer games in 1997 be that lopsided and streaky.

Even when I was still playing War Thunder, it had it's streaks, but it was nothing compared to World of Tanks. I think the most I ever lost in a row in War Thunder was 6 or 8.

World of Tanks though I've lost 15 in a row more than once. And again, for something that allegedly random, that's simply not possible - or it shouldn't be.

You should post the replays so we can look at them.
 
Yeah. That will work. I'll open them up on my client and look at them. See what happened.

I have a pretty liberal upload amount set because there's so few of us here, so you should be able to load them all on one post. If not, just make two posts with 8 on each one.

I'm sure that will be doable.
 
OK it's giving me an error that only certain file extensions are allowed to be attached. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
 
That's not you, that's my fault.

I've added the wotreplay extension to the allowable attachments list. Try it again and see if it works. You may want to close and reopen your browser before you do it or hit CTRL and F5 at the same time to clear your cache.
 
Looks like that worked. No errors this time. Thanks!

OK, looking through the last 5 of them, there's a recurring theme: you had idiot teammates. Big time. Some of the teams were a little lopsided against you, but nothing to really write home about.

You're also at least half way up the XP chart or higher on those games, so you're pulling your own weight more times than not.

I played a game just now so I could take some screen shots and show you how things go pear shaped one way or the other. So here's the game I just played in a KV2:

That game could go either way. It looks just a tad in the other teams favor, but not much.

So here we are a few minutes in:

Notice that the first guy to die hides his stats. (For the record, I usually do too. I took them off to use XVM but for some reason it's still showing me as blocking stats.)

But yeah, he went full yolo and got blown to bits. Here we are a bit later:

Notice that two of the better players they had bought it by then. After that, it was all down hill from there and we won. I got blown to bits by an SU-100 I never saw, but this is how it ended up:

It's not that either team had any real advantage to begin with - it was pretty close. And it's not that any number of people did anything really that wrong. It just worked out the way it worked out.

That may look like a wipeout, but it wasn't. The majority of them died at the end because we had them from two sides.

Your games look very similar that I've looked at so far. It's just really rotten luck more than anything you're doing, or anybody else for that matter.

LOL! So here's the very next game:

shot_102.jpg

I was about 90% sure we were going to get our asses kicked, and we did. It wasn't a complete wipeout, but we were down 6 tanks really, really fast.

Here's how it turned out:

That's the thing about this game: you get two or three people, and sometimes it doesn't even take that many, doing absolutely nothing and you really have lost before you even started.
