And all these problems still exist.
The +- 25% to penetration is ridiculous, shells just disappearing, 105 MM of HE yielding 35 damage to a 5mm plate is just mind numbing, and .26 dispersion missing a tank at 15 meters will make me rage quit. Funny thing is, I told myself that it is random. You hear " Just play 100 more battles and it will even out" But then realize that it happens so often, its impossible to be random. Its like flipping a coin and always landing on tails.
All these problems still exist. Shocker I know. The biggest issue out of that list is the damn RNG. Ghost shells are a huge issue as well. MM has gotten better. Still though, the EBRs and 3 arty system is flawed.Ain't that the truth.
The sad part is it never changed. From the day I started playing in 2012 to the day I last played 4 or 5 years later it was:
And nothing was ever done to address any of it. The MM was never changed. Arty was actually made far worse. The RNG was changed only once but people started complaining they were getting pummeled because people could actually hit what they were aiming at, so they undid that and went back to roulette wheel RNG.
- Poor MM
- Arty
- Ridiculous levels of RNG
- Toxic environment
- Rigged contests/events (match fixing)
The only thing they ever did about the toxic environment is turn off cross team chat. They never perma-banned the well known abusers who were "friends" of the WoT in crowd. Hell, we had stuff on the Wargaming employees spewing racist hate, bullying and everything else and nothing was ever done about it.
And of course it was always the same clans rigging the contests and events ruining it for everybody else. Wargaming did nothing about any of that either.
Just keep hurling in new OP tanks, wait for them to stop selling, nerf the hell out of them, introduce another OP tank, rinse-repeat.
Frankly, I'm amazed they're still in business. I truly am. I figured they would have gone the way of the dodo by now.
