World of Tanks (WoT) is a massively multiplayer online game developed by the company Wargaming, featuring mid-20th century (1930s-1960s) era combat vehicles. It is built upon a freemium business model where the game is free-to-play, but participants also have the option of paying a fee for use of "premium" features. The focus is on player vs. player gameplay with each player controlling an armored vehicle.

To see how far it has drifted...Once upon a time the 62a and 113 were considered OP.
i consider the 113 OP when firing gold. i would buy them if they could get a discount form a tech tree. with the new collectors status you have to pay full price for them.
@@rexmexzilla bro its not op no matter how you consider it
I think the old WT E100 would be shit in todays meta even tho once it was considered super OP
I was casual player at the time but wasn't T62A considered OP fpr same reason Kran is today? It had no turret weakspots, good mobility and dpm
@@jandolezel2585 except you needed a bit more terrain knowlage. the Kran not so much since most maps are almost made only for hull dow vehilces. personally i dont do well with the Kran. i do much better with a patton, a 60TP or T110E5. The one i love is the Emil II and Emil 1.
I'm far from being unicum and I completely agree. Medium tanks used to rely on mobility and/or superior gun handling. Now you take M48 Fatton, get glacier map, you are dead before you reach middle ridge, cause two Krans are already there and you end up tracked and destroyed on flat ground. STB is actually not much faster. Yes, mediums can mount turbo, but what to sacrifice? rammer? vstab? optics? On heavies that can use mobility field mod, it's almost for free.
Hey bro, dont shit on Patton!
@@Leon_Orlov He isn't, the game is
The problems started years ago, not recently. With the possibility for light tanks to pen heavies FRONTALLY. Then it all snowballed into a fiery mess.
Wait, people play t10 meds with optics? Okay dude, there is your turbo slot. No, you don't need optics in Glacier with Patton, lol.
@@chudina1 you do if your crew isnt that skilled
I've always found tier X to be mostly unfun to play. One tank you left off that should be on your is list is the EBR 105. It makes all other tier X scouts obsolete.
Well it's a high skill cap tank if he die it give the other team a edge Soo big i can can't lose the game
the difference is that these heavies are brainless hull down that deal good dpm. ebr is good, yes, but it is much harder to play and actually requires intimate knowledge of the game. ebr also brings the mentality of “oh, my light is going to scout the whole team, I might as well stay in base and wait for his spots”. It goes pretty deep but I hope you get my point
@@jibrilherrcherofhorny4448 Skill isn't even part of the equation. There isn't a "tier x scout" requiring less skill.
Ebr is stupid. A half-decent ebr-player will destroy your good other scout simply because he is an ebr. Magic armor tires, gin that hits more on 90kp/h than a fully aimed Leo, super good camo, decent enough viewrange paired with a cvs is stupid. And then you have the speed and turning of the tank. Turns faster with wheels than a tracked tank like a t100 or flipwagen, whos whole purpose is 'fast scout'. Then add RNG into the equation and all you have to do is press W, a&d a bit and dont yolo or be rerarded and you have a foolprove tank that wont get hit cuz even if they enemies are capable enough to lead&aim their shots you still can just turn, your wheels will absorb the shot or it will somehow auto-bounce or just plain old miss because RNG. Pure imbalance. For example i love the Manticore. Incredible fun tank to play. BUT it has one flaw. It wont fair well against an ebr. You cant take agressive bushes because the ebr will spot you because he is faster and sees you approaching or just drives by and wont take dmg because its super hard to hit for the majority of players. You are caught with your pants down in the open in an easy to hit tank or you take a more passive bush, wont be able to spot much but the ebr. But the ebr wont take dmg, spot your team and thats it, game done just because you play against an ebr in any other scout. Oh and doesnt have to be a Manticore, can just be any other t10 light.
@@Poken__ How often do you play with the ebr? I am a light tank player and almost all my games are with a light tank. I’m just curious why people deem ebrs as a broken tank, I don’t see it…
The game is arguably in the worst position it’s ever been, a worse meta than the type 5 heavy HE spam imo
How many years they take to change that meta, I don’t remember
@@cippo3094 5 years
Well, even Type 5 HE meta was better than this. Yes, you can shot for 600 in hulldown but then you have to reload for 17+ seconds I think? And you have no mobility and flat armor, so meds with 340 heat pen can kill you easy. I think HE nerf should never happen.
Chems, the legend himself, this is basically what you mentioned in one of your videos. I remember tanks having small spots where you could easily pen with some accuracy, hitting the krav in the cupula on the top right...man...it's impossible. Even his gun mantlet is impenetrable. IS-7 has I believe 0 armor under his gun, if you aim up and shoot there, you can pen with any tank, or at least it was like this a couple years ago.
@@hunterfabio Portugal is goated
It’s funny how the turret and gun are OP on the kranvagn, the two things that never existed in real life.
it ain't just the kran, notice anything weird about most op tier tens?
Ofc wot isn't a realism game
@@nielsblaauw9337 I made this comment a month ago dude move on
It happened to all world of games. When they came out they mostly had real vehicles. Now they are dominated by paper machines
@@commenttroll6933 this isn’t Reddit dopey
I'm what you would call an average player at best. Playing since 2012. I find personally, that I work my butt off to get to tier 10 and end up never playing them due to exactly what was mentioned in this video, as well as the cost of playing tier 10. After hundreds of games grinding out a tank line I'd like to feel like it was worth it and have some fun in my tier 10's which definitely hasn't been the case. Thanks Kajzoo for your great content and for wishing us well. Take care of yourself brother.
WoTBlitz is basically the same. I quit because top tier isn’t fun anymore.
I feel you, been playing for about 6 years and all the tanks I spent grinding sit in the garage since their junk. I miss rolling out in my E100 having solid games with spamming maybe 3 gold shells Max.
Id say it's about the journey.
Yep, I basically don't grind for Tier Xs anymore for this very reason. Not worth the headache of grinding for something I won't play anyway. Or, grind towards something good and it gets nerfed as soon as I actually get there. It's just not worth it to waste time to get to something that isn't fun anyway.
I’ve got 4 tier 10’s unlocked but not going to waste the credits. Tier 9 is cheaper and more fun IMO
The autoloader and autoreloader meta went stupid over time. Originally there were clear defined weaknesses and strengths to each vehicle such as top speed, power-to-weight, reverse speed, armour, obvious weakspots, damage and pen, and gun handling, but Wargaming just kept adding to the powercreep at every tier, plus removing weakspots and the massive reliance on premium ammo, consumables, and equipment just ruins the experience for anyone who can't invest a lot of time and some money into the game.
(And the RnG aspect which was what finally drove me off, but that's a completely different issue)
I think the original balancing factor with a fair few autoloaders was that they had weak armour and had to commit to sitting in front of an opponent for a long amount of time in order to offload all their shots, risking easily getting damaged, but a lot of tanks don't even have that problem now because of a mix between mobility, inter-clip, and armour.
They could add the WT E100 in his original State and it wouldnt hurt the Meta. TierX is broken af and one more Broken Tank wouldnt even matter.
This.
We called it Autoloadersyndrom for a reason back in the days. Extreamly weak armor getting people who just want to clip someone killed very quickly when the move was not absolutely calculated. Low DPM getting you killed when not planning an escape route. There was a reason I played the french tanks, they were difficult and rewarding.
Than there was T57, this one still had bad armor, but huge DPM on top of Autoloader, so you could not simply push it anymore.
And than Krankenwagen, having Mobility, Armor,DPM and Autoloader on top.
@@general_alexus2533 It's even worse with autoreloaders. They get both the option of clipping someone out, or firing once and retreating behind cover, without the balancing factor of a very long reload making them vulnerable - instead people have to worry about trying to counterpush them because they'll be able to get another shot off as their magazine reloads one by one.
@@eb3yr autoreloaders (at least when I stopped playing a while back) at least had REALY bad dpm and also not the best armor, they where kinda okish.
@@general_alexus2533 That doesn't negate how they circumvent the original drawbacks of having an autoloader over a regular gun, though.
I dropped this game early last year, every match was just rage inducing. Very few people seem to actively play in the match, the ones that do are all running meta tanks for their tiers. there are very few even matches, and you have to focus down the most effective players on the enemy team first if you want to have a chance at winning the match.
WG have truely ran out of ideas, they are constraining maps more towards corridor fights and hilly ranges, tier 8 matches are 98% premium tanks, and they are just selling stupid and broken tanks to unknowlegable people to make a quick buck. They aren't going to fix anything, and don't care as much as you think they do. I reccomend to all players to consider dropping this game and finding something else worth your time, it'll save you a lot of grey hairs and empty wallets.
Hi,
What are the other options?
I returned to this game over Christmas and am still enjoying it but a little less so in this month. But what is worring me is that a lot of video content provider (such as Kaj here) reviews are more and more drifting towards negative enjoyment. I feel this a lot and perhaps so more than others as a I am binge watching many many videos thus can see/feel/hear the opinions within minutes of eachother.
Whilst it would be many years away from dieing and could very likely be saved - what are the other options that are a geniune equivalent?
I just play now and again ,I agree fully with what you say so I started playing Elden Ring . Same frustration lvl as tanks but at least it's my mistakes that get me killed not some op tank I can't pen
@@leemonk384 it has been downhill for years
@@leemonk384 *I returned to this game over Christmas...*
Yes that's the exact problem. Check the server statistics on wotcharts
@@leemonk384 for a game similar to WoT, i'd recommend Armoured Warfare. It has is own problems to some extent. however, it is a game you can easily pickup and enjoy.
Other games i recommend you play are GTFO, Hunt showdown, and even Space Engineers. PvE co-op fps, PvEvP co-op fps, and voxel based sandbox games respectively. Each fill a different niche that people like.
these heavy tanks are all way to fast. from my pov, the kranvagen should max out at 35-40 kph. there is just no difference in the classes anymore, except for heavies like the kranvagen being faster and better with a better gun and better armor than mediums
Better gun? The kran gun is ok or decent at best, if you put purple equipment on, but it's certainly not better than most mediums. Good for a heavy though.
I hate the Kran too but you are got it all wrong. Heavy tanks used to have a better gun and better armor than mediums while mediums had better dpm and better mobility. For some reason mediums have the same armor and gun as the heavies. It not that the heavies were buffed in fact they were powercrept by op mediums. ( well except these 3 in the video)
@@SirMcAwesome bra with bond equip/field mods, good crews and directive you could make these op tanks even better..
Then you have Russian mediums that are virtually identical to their heavies. They all go 50+ with nearly impenetrable turrets and they have troll hull armor. American mediums barely move and have pathetic armor, but at least they have decent DPM that I can never utilize because my shots for some reason never land where I ai.
I've stopped playing around 7 years ago and wow, how the things have changed to the worse. I remember autoloaders had either mediocre or no armor at all, forcing player to learn how to play safe. Now there is a kranvagn who is just amx 50b but with unpenetrable turret.
My 50b just sits in the garage now
Thanks for adressing these issues , the game had made me felt like i was going insane lately and it's reconforting to see that even the bests of the bests players feel the same way with that disgusting meta
True the meta is bad, but that's what WG wants. Make people suffer to make them pay.
tbh, i miss these HE shooting 60TP´s at every Corner. That was more Enjoyable than 3 Chief sitting hulldown and shredding your Team cuz no one can hurt them.
@@zordiark9673 couldnt agree more, this tanks wouldnt be that OP had the HE nerfs never occured.
I think the maps are an even bigger problem than the tanks. As you mentioned, all maps are corridors and this is the biggest part of what makes the hull down tanks so op. If maps were more dynamic and unique it would make many more tanks viable such as the batchat or 113.
exactly. Not having 3 fucking flanks which 2 of them are hulldown campfests and 1 of them is just open field deathzone.
Absolutely agrre. That's what I often mention on forum and reddit. Maps are the biggest problem for now. Some of them should be removed end replaced, at least 5.
This is something I have been saying for years. There are only like 10 somewhat playable maps, rest of them are total garbage.
I miss the old days too. The power creep is out of control and something needs to be done, but unfortunately, the world only cares about money.
World of Tanks is such a good game that Wargaming has ruined. Honestly, the map selection, gun RNG, and hull down meta has about done it for me. I find it so sad that World of Tanks could be up there with LoL, Minecraft, and other games if Wargaming actually had some common sense. My main question to WG is why? I mean, I get that your company cares only about revenue, but WHAT DOES CHANGING THE GUN RNG HAVE TO DO WITH REVENUE?
Bad gun rng -> you cant effectively hit weak spots -> you gotta use more gold -> WG profit
i deleted the game for exactly that reasons.
@@paranormaldoctor5451 but it's much more profit if you have double the amount of active players or even more. WG never tried to hold or get players. They just want the active players they have to spend more
@@tim_schtz yes true, but you overestimate the retards working at WG
Every shot you fire cost credits, if you miss or bounce you are losing credits on that shot.
I remember when my friend first brought me to the game he told the kran was the best and I should grind it. (Before the buffs)
Two months later it got buffed, now I find it boring to play.
why did it get buffed in the first place
@@_Daniel_Plainview becaue it used to have a horribly long reload time.
@@_Daniel_Plainview It used to be pretty much a t57 heavy with better turret armor and a 60% longer reload and 50% longer intraclip.
Mobility was also much worse.
Dear kajzoo i agree with you completly . I'm far from being a unicum and I mostly play for fun. The current state of the game is so bad that makes me to uinstall the game. I have a maus and e100 in my garage simply because i'm fan of german heavies and yes they are slow for current meta but i just like them. Whenever I ecounter any of those hull down meta tanks(chief, kran,...) i just do my best to ignore them becuse it's not fun to fight against them. Those tanks for me don't have any weakspot at all and need to be rebelanced asap. Lately i'm mostly playing arty to counter the hull down meta. Kranvagns are everywhere along with chiefs and it's probably the best way to fight them. Before anyone calls me a noob clicker i will simply say this hull down meta is equally toxic just like arty not even to mention plus 2 matchmaking wich isn't fun at all. I hope whoever read this understands what i'm talking about.
Not denying that nothing's wrong with the Kranvagn, but i'd rather have them deal with the reward tanks first, at least the Kran is attainable for everyone.
Agree, but since its a reward tank they won't want to offend the rewarded by modifying their "free tank"
Nah. At least mm isn't full of chiefs, Krans ruin both randoms and ranked
You clearly know that will not happen, they have already said multiple times they have no intention of nerfing premium/reward tanks
@@philosophist9562 Nice try, there 2 Chiefs per side in almost every match I've played over the last 3 days alone. I see more Chiefs and 279e's than I do Krans. Good thing is I only need 8k more xp to get my Kran and at least get into the fray a bit more.
@@animalyze7120 279 doesnt even come close to those 2 in battles played/level of opness
I found the only fun tanks to play are the ones that requires skills (mutz, Rev, cdc). It feels like a challenge to preform well in and when you do the satisfaction is indescribable.
+ Another fucking point we need to mention is that there is no longer in Funny gamemodes, Remember IS-ball, Tank races, Rocketlea... I mean Tankball ? all these were so fun to play and the gamemodes they didnt remove they absolutely did destroy (destroyed Steel hunter's mechanics depth and strats possibility, The fucking tier IXs in frontline - I will never forgive them for that)
I hear this a lot, why are the tier 9s in FL so bad?
@@kasperkappe9066 they made frontline into a gamemode in wchich you cannnot earn as much credits as before
so sad. i have 500 games in my rev. even if i was still playing the game, i dont think i could bother playing it. the alpha is no longer really special and the penetration is just too low. sacrificing all speed and armor is not worth that tradeoff anymore, sadly
@@maciejprokop2001 damn that is next level crooked but cunning
At the heart of most problems for this game is the desire for increased profit even at the expense of game quality. WG has become deaf to its player base with an attitude of "just stfu and give us your money" always framed, though, under the guise of "improvements".
Has become? When did they give a fuck before about us?
@@icestrolo maybe back when premiums used to be worse than tech tree tank? not flat out better like now
Why would they listen to the playerbase when they know they can add whatever they want and players will still buy premium tanks and account from them
Inv4 obj 780 sale for 150 euro
My take is that impenetrable armor has to come at the price of mobility (at least). So many maps are ruined just because there are chiefs krans or 279 in the game.
If you have armor you can dominate a position, if you are mobile you can take more aggressive ones ... guess how 2 minute games happen?
... not to mention ability to rotate
Frankly, the 279 is not the worst offender on that list. The upper plate gets autopenned by any t10 gold shells, and it doesn't have gun depression. The turret is nothing special either, it's a regular russian HT turret. It's still a bit broken, but the chief and the kran are way way worse for the game.
Agree, What is the point of mediums when newer russian heavies reach those positions faster or UK/Swe heavies can utilize positions most mediums could only dream off. At least the mediums can turn faster...
This is honestly why I dont play this game anywhere near the amount I used to. I'm a 3k recent player, I'm not amazing but I know how to play. I cant stand tanks like the Kran, Chief, and 279e because they make the corridor map meta even more unbearable.
Spot on. I remember going up the U.S. medium line to get the Patton when it was still a very good tank and now, like many other player's favorite non-meta tanks it just stays in the garage for the most part.
Agree with everything in this video, well put and does not come across as complaining or whining.
Tier X has always been my favorite tier to play. As a clanwars player, I've also managed to get every single reward tank offered during the campaigns. But with how bad things have gotten, I find it a chore to play randoms and have slowly stopped playing Clan Wars as well. I didn't even buy any lootboxes for the first time this past Christmas. Unless things actually change. I think it's finally time to move on in my life.
Here is something nobody is talking about. Light tanks as a class are obsolete. Every heavy and medium in high tier has 500 view range standard, good crew even higher, maay as well play heavy tanks because they better view range, mobility and armor than all other classes.
Yes, they broke light tanks. I used to play them and it was kind of an art. Now? Forget it, unless you play below tier 6
Light tanks have exceptional sneakiness, small frame and mobility. Heavy and medium tanks don"t have that.
My first and only tier X tank that ive grinded too is the E100,this was 4-5 years ago. I played one game with the E100 and then quit not long afterwards,since all that grinding was for nothing at the end of the day. Hull down tanks where just buffed and buffed,or more hull down tanks added over the time.To brawl it out face to face was just not possible anymore and the hull down meta was already super boring back then,yet still playable. Decided to play a few games after my 5 years of just watching videos and well....the game in my opinion is absolutly brocken.....0.24 accuracy,fully aimed in on the side of a Maus and the shells hit nothing,over and over .Vehicles that go at 90km/h and hit everything at full spead. Armor that is impossible to penn and literally just gold going threw the air: A actual super heavy is like driving around a brick of butter and i dont want to start with arty...
There is just no fun in this game anymore for the avarage player...
Same bro. I remember being stuck on the DW2 for so long thinking it would be worth it in the end. It wasn't. The journey was hell, and the destination was pointless.
Great video man. Totally agree and hope you do some more 'commentary' style videos like this in addition to your usual tips/reviews. Haven't played tier 10 since battle pass started lol
My Theory on what's going on.
Getting to tier 10 has never been easier with supercharged premium time, boosters, x5 bundles and blueprints. This means you have players at tier ten that haven't learned even the basics of this game simply because they churn through tiers so quickly. This game is very deep, there's a lot to learn about it and the lower tiers helped players learn things like spotting mechanics, consumables, crew skills, armour angling etc. But when you can get to tier ten much faster then the game was originally designed to let you progress you don't have time to learn all of that.
Of course this has been going on for quite some time, the days of experienced players being able to use free xp as the only shortcut in the game went a long time ago which is why Wargaming has been steadily dumbing down the game. Corridor maps allow players to focus on only one thing at a time, what's directly in front of them. Gold/Premium/Special ammunition means they don't have to find weak spots and hull down monsters mean they don't have to think about baiting shots or even peaking carefully.
This game (just like World of Warships) now relies less on player loyalty and engagement and more on player churn, the constant rolling over of the player base as new players constantly replace jaded ones. The concept of a WWII tank battle game like this holds a lot of appeal which keeps new players coming in. Throw in overpowered premium tanks (like the Progetto, Bourasque and T56) so they can buy "skill" to remain competitive and you have a business model that's working for Wargaming right now. The newbies with the cash are more appealing than the veterans that don't even need premium time as they have already ground out all the tanks they want.
It's been said so many time before for years but this I think is probably Wargaming's last effort in keeping these games profitable. Once this ceases to work, once they run out of new players willing to fork over cash that till be the end of it.
Your theory is interesting and I agree with it.
I think it boils down to, they don't give a shit until the Russian player base gives a shit. Prime example, the progetto 65. The RU server were the ones doing all the bitching, so it was nerfed. Same with the E5 back in the day. The smaller the population of the server, the more the problems with the game become more apparent. NA is worse than EU, EU is worse than RU because you increasing meet the overpowered tanks.
Just a reminder for everyone that is NORMAL to pay for your game. Nothing has to be free for your sorry ass. There are hundreds of developpers that work to make WOT what it is. Have some respect.
I only disagree with the fact that tier 10 has never been easier. Back when battle pass first came out and the first few Christmas events the shear amount of blueprints we got meant that with each event you could completely skip a tech tree and get the tier 10. And depending on how many blueprints you got you might have been able to skip 2 or 3 entire lines.
Edit: it is now the easiest to grind but now is not when it was the easiest to reach.
I will disagree with you about the prog 46 and bourrasque. Yes they are overpowered tanks but only in capable hands. I have played both tanks for a while and I am an average player with them at best. If you want to buy skill those are not it. Skoda T56, defender, renegade, skorpion, su130pm, those are the ones that are more suitable for new players and are overpowered.
Yes, these OP tanks are maddening(at least Kran is available to anyone willing to grind the line), but the games MM is far worse . It caused me to quit. I just can't imagine how WG can't rank player rating against player rating. Far too often one side decimates the other and is no fun to be on either team. Especially if you are not grinding the current meta line that can keep up with the flow of battle. I sold most of my slow tanks as more often than not I was unable to get involved in the game save for the few smaller maps.
Well the reason why they don't put player rating against player rating is cuz it would essentially make everyone's winrate 50%. You're basically forcing good players to win less even though they may deserve to win more because of their skilled playing.
The bigger problem than putting a noob vs unicum is putting Maus in one team and Chief in the other on Malinovka or any other map for that matter. Maus is just useless and recently with the flood of chiefs in randoms when I see chief in one team and no chief in the other 99% of the time you can easily predict which team is going to win.
@@obliterator1543 I don't believe it would affect it that much. Some skilled players may have a small dip in win rate, while better players will go up. And their overall ratings won't be affected. The only ones that would be punished are the stat padders that toon up and jump into randoms to club seals. But, when I say rank player ratings, I don't mean some hard lined system where a 7.2k PR player needs to go up against another 7.2k player. But, just something that avoids having one team getting 5 Unis and the other team none. The bottom line is almost everyone I know and read in polls is that they dislike the "15-2 simulator" caused by MM. I would also argue that WG doesn't do it for the reason you said, rather that they want you into another match ASAP where you use up consumables etc. Same reason RNG goes to whack in late game one sided matches.
@@pazuzu_666 I mean still, a skill based matchmaking would make winrate 50%. I can see skill based matchmaking become a thing if we just disregard winrate and look at someone's player rating. Also you say that it's because they want you in another game asap so we use credits, but people that are grinding credits are making credits at the same time. I'm pretty sure they don't want the queue times to be so long because they simply don't want you to wait that long in a queue. Cuz I certainly don't. I think it's a bit of a stretch to say it's cuz they want you to use your credits.
I agree, I have nothing at all against good players platooning together etc and the fact is your win rate goes way up with platoon mates. Platoons are worth more than their total skill if they work as a unit. WG's claim that they can't balance based on player rating is complete bullshit and the truth is that most unbalanced games using the same 30 players in the battle can have their balance significantly improved by swapping 2 tanks per team. Battles decided in the first 90 seconds are zero fun for both sides and are far to common.
You are slowly becoming a legend kajzoo. Thank you for all the great work on creating content for RUclips! You are awesome!
The most important thing (said by chems) is that if WG triggers us "tryhards" we wont like it but we keep playing the game, but if the casuals get triggered, they will quit the game, and stop making money
I am in this boat. Quit the game a few times, once for 1 year, once for 18 months. Now I am back but with quite low expectations and the resolution to spend ZERO dollars on the game. Until I see actions to fix some of the aggravating problems like untouchable clown cars (EBRs), stupid power creep in premium tanks (remember when premiums were slightly worse than the tech tree??? no? neither do I). It's not fun to grind any lines, I am playing some of my favourite tanks and some premiums to keep credits rolling.
+1 for the chems mention
you think casual will have against chieftain/279e??? lol they'll get farmed
@@octoslut problem is casuals will never get to a point where they will face said tanks so they are unaware they exist.
@@ifyourmarriedyourasimpanda7440 cap bro it’s super easy to dummies to reach tier 8 or higher. Wg has made it easier over the years to hit high tiers over years
Thank you. this was needed
I would also like to add something to the end-game matches: The cost of repairs and the use of gold ammo makes the game a chinese farming simulator. For every Tier 10 match you played, you need to play a couple of games in a premium tank, so you can win some credits again. If you only want to play tier 10 because you want to have some "fun" prepare yourself to lost some millions in a few hours of gameplay
with premium account and boosters it's no problem to earn credits in tier 10. The main problem is the retarded balance and introduction of new idiotic content that doesn't solve anything.
@@TeamCykelhold With what you say that leads to the term "Pay to Win" or "Pay to Play" if you want. That simply put means anyone who refuses to give WG any money is less likely to progress into tier 10. This also means that those who play tier 10 are filling the coffers and dictating in a broken meta.
@@triggrjockeyj7708 I don't think the pay to play tier 10 is the biggest problem. It was always like that, and the game used to be much better anyway. And if you want you can play tier 10 without a premium account, it just means you have to be super good or grind some credits outside tier 10. What destroys the game is the retarded balance. I kind of agree, it's not optimal at all to lose that much credits in tier 10, I'm simply saying I don't think it's the biggest of the many issues the game has.
only way to make credits at tier 10 is no gold ammo and no food/large kits
@@boost800 You don't make credits @ tier 10 period. If you do it's not enough to support that 1 tank.
True. I would still add EBRs here too since i feel they outperform other lights. Krav should get his gun murdered by dispersion and bloom so he can't snap shot like now. Chieftains are problem because people did some work to get it so not really possible to nerf it too much. I would start by getting his dpm to more reasonable level for such over all amazing armor.
My favorite game mode in WOT was the CC event where you choose a CC and had 7 versus 7 on normal maps. You got to drive a lot more around and you could make mistakes getting you killed, or sneak up on someone and farming them. Now its just drive to the closest hulldown position and slug it out.
I LOVE ppl that actually knows what is wrong with the game, 40% of the players in that game keeps saying "stop being so disrespectful to the game, if you think it's so bad, try making one better" like bruh... i refuse to think these ppl are humans.
Best explanation in a video I’ve seen ! Thanks Kajzoo I hope developers see this and make changes because the game is not fun anymore A.K.A. I’m not paying to get frustrated .
Thanks Kajzoo - yes, racing out with my turbocharged E100 just isnt fun anymore as the turret is swiss cheese against Kranvagn - tier 8 can still be fun though so thats what you have to do then - if a higher percentage of players play most of their games at tier 8 then changes to tier 10 WILL have to be made...
problem is tier 8 is another shitshow, just with different tanks:/ idk but tanks like bourr and skoda are more disgusting to me than chiefs, mainly because every random pleb can buy them:))
@@hideyourgf8502 yes, Skoda is OP as well - but only has two rounds for around 800 then have to reload - WOT call the Skoda a "breakthrough heavy tank" BUT it isnt as it has lots of weakpoints to pen - as an average player I use it as a "heavy support tank" and is good at such a role -
@@roblouw3038 has two for 1000. Which is 66% of tier 8 hp. That's worse than kran, chief and 279 together. And he does it in 2 seconds
@@hideyourgf8502 thing is tier x is too filled with players so wg needs to make op tier 8 tanks which can compete vs tier x tanks because they get matched vs tier x the most. i wouldnt buy balanced tier 8 prem knowing 50% of the games i match up vs tier x
Light tanks were my favourite class to play before clown cars came into the scene, now I virtually don’t play them because of EBR’s. I have been playing for 9 years and I don’t play tier X’s anymore because of what you have said in this video. I stay at tier 8&9, I find them the most fun generally. It’s not often you get a 3/5/7 and you’re bottom tier as an 8, but it’s better than having to play against a full line up of broken tanks.
Besides everything said in the video, I'd like to add just one more thing to it. Players (more precisely accounts) that WG gets (real) money from have better RNG (at least more faveourable), better (similar) teammates and are just pushed to the top. The best example of this is this season of Ranked battles. In 5 out of 6 bonus battles i was 1st or 2nd in experience, skyrocketing me from rank 1 to rank 7 in under 45 minutes. Then all of a sudden i started to get unmatched teams in terms of tanks (enemy gets krans, VZs and STBs, and i get is4s, E100s and AMX 30Bs), players on the start of the battle dont communicate at all, they go all over the map, I end up simply ran over with no chance to retreat, my shells all of a sudden don't pen spots and plates i usually hit... Then i started to check player stats at the end of the battles where i had (most of the time) double the stats of my teammates, while enemies were all between 7k and 9k.
Then i realised what was going on. I don't pay WG any money at all (for premium time, for gold, for bundles, for trading caravans, for loot boxes etc.) And i want all the same awards (i can get) as every other person that does, even if i have better skills then those people, game will make sure i don't get that because i am still not giving them anything. And those people do, and if they don't give them stuff, people will stop paying WG money.
That fact hit me like a brick, and it's disgusting...
I just hope there are other players like me who just want what they deserver based on their skill and knowledge.
I dont want anything to be gifted to me or not to others, just give me what i deserve. After all, i am a devoted fan and player since open Beta.. me and many, many others (who sadly dont play the game anymore, good percent of them cuz of similiar reasons) payved the way for current generation of players.
Nerf Kranvagn top speed to 45, nerf clip reload from 19 seconds to 24 seconds, and alpha from 440 to 420. nerf gun depression to 11. Make the flat spot under the gun a weakspot that’s only 200mm thick.
Nerf 279e DPM, soft stats, and make cupolas bigger and weaker. And bring back the belly armour plate weakspot.
Nerf chieftain’s DPM and lower plate armour, and reduce gun depression to 9 degrees. Nerf top speed a little.
I came up with this in 2 minutes and WG can’t seem to come up with it in 2 years.
As a Swede who plays the Kranvagn, I 100% agree the tank is broken. Nerfing the intra clip reload could work wonders and add a weak spot under the gun, as you mention in the video. On the mobility end, maybe reduce it to 45 km/h and make the terrain resistances even worse, but not too much. DPM could also be tuned, increasing the full clip reload time by 5-8 seconds.
Is it me or what, i can't get kran over 42km/h even with turbo
But mobility on Kranvagn isn't broken. You gone too far. Dude, please stop!
Just put the pre-buff Kranvagn and it's already balanced, I think.
Well the 103b with gold has a chance to pen Kranvagns upper part of the turret witch is quite fun to do while they're going hull down somewhere.
good opinion, good content as always!
i love this game and i remember the days when the announcement of a new tank line or premium tank were hyped up, when wg didn't make new tech tree or premium tanks that need 0 skill to play while still being op
We all know that Type 5 was really broken back in the day. It was so broken that WG decided to nerf the entire japanese heavy line. Now it can be killed using gold shells very easily ( and me being a die hard Type 4 and Type 5 enjoyer call this nerf fair.) Then later on after HE nerf, both Type 4 and Type 5 are completely outclassed and in this current HEAT spamming meta, just forget that Japanese tier 9, 10 heavies even exist. Some not so great buffs were given them both but still not enough when you look at this current meta. Hell, even caliban standard HE shell has more penetration than Type 4 and Type 5 15cm standard HE shells. Now I wonder if Japanese heavies will be buffed in the future or the kranvagn will be nerfed.
type 4 cannon nerf has a point at point when you dont needed any skill to do 500-700dmg on every HE shot, so imo its ok but anyway it should receive armor buff
@@theladaaaahah so getting bombed by planes is better? Pass
@@call_me_f1lip862 I know when this tank was brutal and could deal 500-700 damage where ever you shoot. The Nerfed armor is pretty much fair becoz only gold shells can penetrate the tank frontally ( AP shells too if they aim at weak spots.) Also the damage nerf is acceptable but 15cm HE shell needs buffed penetration values, specially Gold HE shell. Make it deal damage like shitbarn but in half, like 750 or 700 if the shell penetrates. If it fails to penetrate it will deal 100-200 or 300 as usual. Make it reload within 15-16 seconds. And buff the turret armor like when you angle it a little it will be hard to penetrate.
@@r-truth8727 you dont get me bro, i meant that cannon nerf should be permanent because before the nerf this was a noob tank, you havent needed any skill to shoot every single bullet for 700dmg, it wasn't fair or balanced, it actually required totally 0 skill, it was totally broken tank because for example you are playing hulldown in s conq, unpenetrable angles etc, and some red baron might just peak and make 700dmg without aiming. totally unfair, im glad it received such a nerf
@@call_me_f1lip862 you didn't get him. He agreed with you that Type 5 was OP but now it's useless and needs a buff. Use your brain to think.
I honestly enjoy the grind to the tier 10 tanks than the tier 10 tanks themselves. Tier 10 is just not fun especially now when Kran is on the battlepass so every game has 1 now...
I agree. Not a unicum myself, but there used to be so much variety to tier X games, and although Equipment 2.0 supposedly added versatility - the powercrept tanks are still too weak to actually make use of the choices that equipment provides..
I stopped playing tier 10 recently for the reasons you mentioned and I 3 marked the 53tp HT. It’s very fun, I highly recommend it.
It's so sad to see that my IS 7 with full bond equipment has worse dpm than a Kranvagn without equipment even it's in autoloader.
You are on point. I hate kranvagn, piece of crap
If is7 would have 340 pen, then it would be better. But still kran will fuck him
The IS 7 armor is a ton stronger than the Kran, especially if the Kran isn't on a ridge line it gets eaten quickly.
@@mrg09211976 is 7 Has weaker turret cheeks than kran. I checked IT. IT is easier to pen Is -7 with jgdpz e100 in turret cheeks than kran
@@maciejprokop2001 I pen the Kran with my E100 without much effort, and the IS7 and Kran have different roles. The IS7 does not tend to see E100s that often most of the match.
What I find extra funny about this is that a lot of the people I saw demanding HE be nerfed because it could damage the hull down tanks which was “unskilled” are now crying about hulldown tanks being virtually invulnerable.
“We never thought leopards would eat OUR faces,” sob people who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.
Say what you will about old HE but it actually let you damage the hulldown monsters and could force them to move. Now as far as I can tell (I stopped playing in 2018 I think) they will always do 0 damage to the three tanks mentioned in this video alongside all the other unpennables.
Meanwhile in Blitz we’re laughing because hulldown tanks are strong but not effectively unkillable and can still have fun with big HE rounds.
I stopped playing about a year ago. This trend started to appear to me about this desire for profit over enjoyability and I had to decide to stop. Man it was extremely hard to stop playing this game because I was also playing for about 6 years. it’s sad to see it’s only gotten worse. Rest in peace wot, a sad sight really…
Well said, and thanks for taking the time to write out a thoughtful script. Sadly probably achieves nothing but you can only try. I much prefer the variety of all the different tier 10s rather than playing the same shit over and over. I only play each tank once per day whether win or loss! Only difference is when there is a 5x for OnTrack or some other mission
Imo, I think that vz55 also deserves a place on this list. Especially in random games, it has such a huge impact, because you can never trade against it, it also has troll armour, and the gun handling (which was supposed to be bad for the autoloader gun) feels way better than most tanks, (including for example tvp, stb, grille) because everyone is running bounty aiming, food, and bond equipments. Just the fact that his playstyle is not meta for ranked (because of krans ofc) but it's still one of the best tanks for ranked is obnoxious. It also has op mobility which makes it faster than a lot of meds (once again, because everyone has good equipment).
At least it has weaknessess. Cupola that u can actually hit and no infinite gun depression
Vz not too op
this was inevitable after they nerfed HE, you can't damage most hull down tanks unless you get lucky, and you may as well give up if you are bottom tier in a plus 2 game against a Kran

After Wargaming banned reward tier 10 tanks from playing in the ranked game mode, the mode then further exposed what other tanks that are in the tech tree are also overpowered, based on how many players are playing them and how good they are doing in them, and yeah this video did a good job at talking about one particular tank we all had seen in ranked

I just got the chieftain from the Bond auction and I'm a player with not even 8k games. And even I can say that I absolutely hate the hull down meta and the only reason I got it was to be able to compete

Great great great video. If I see I Kran, or my team has less krans than the other team I immediately ask the team to play passive and make those krans come to us. It’s usually the only way to get them to make a mistake. Same with chiefs. I hate it, but when you’re at a disadvantage you have to do what you have to do.
You hit the bullseye, kajzoo. Tier10 gameplay used to be and should be the pinnacle of all gameplays in WoT but these BS meta tanks are destroying it. Ive been playing since 2012 with 54k battles under my belt and most of those battles are in tier10. Rarely do i play lower tiers but because of these meta tanks its not fun anymore. Since the advent of 279e, kranvagn and now the chieftain, ive watched my win rate fall from as high to 52.10% to 51.08% its not balanced anymore, manuever is shot because of corridor maps but mostly its these goddamn meta tanks. I love playing WoT but lately ive been mulling about quitting the game. Its sad really, to have invested so much time for the love of the game only to quit it because WG cant get their act together.
HE damage nerf did this. While the arty "nerf" has its good effects, they used to be the counter for all the paper high angle Swedish tanks. So now you don't have to fear the classic counters. Tier X Udes is pretty much invulnerable in hulldown while before you got hit pretty hard by HE.
I left the game recently - arty permastun in slower tanks, old tech tree tier Xs are completely obsolete (E100 for example), shorter than 5 minut games, 15:0 simulators, wheeled vehicles that spot you before you even leave the base (Maus or Type5 on most maps are just free DMG pinatas), introducing tons of premium tanks while neglecting whole tech trees... nah. Spent quite some money on that game but now I won't give them a single penny.
After years of trying they finally did it - they screwed the game so much it's completely unenjoyable.

@@pratiknath1712 Maus and E100 are nowhere near obsolete and if you have 2 braincells, they're not damage piñatas

I agree… I’ve been playing for 8 years and did the grind to tier ten. But with the op tanks in play nowadays, I’ve pretty much quit playing tier tens… you should also mention the EBR105. It has superseded all other light tanks.
been playing this tank since the buff and loved it but now im taking a break cause all you see is kranvagns in every game
dont know why people started playing them all of a sudden in ranked before the season pass and why they didnt notice it earlier but this should have been an issue since the buff
I've just gotten the chieftain and it feels sooooo powerfull. Every time I do badly in it it's because either I played like shit or my team let me down big time. Armor feels insane, it's fast, gun is a joy. It has no downsides. When the stars align you can farm like any other tank couldn't.
Why did you get It bro 😭
But the point is that it is so dull to play. Sure ur happy for ur chief now but the tank itself and being in the current state its gamebreaking.
@@peterferenci514 that's what I meant, it's too powerfull to be fun.
To me ever since they took off HE any of those lazy hull down tanks, started dominating
The Kran's weakness is it's pen, which is very low compared to most tier X's. I feel WG just doesn't care about it's players anymore and are just plain greedy. With the over saturation of premium tanks and constant power creep. Remove wheeled vehicles, restore HE to it's old dynamics, and 1 tier MM would fix most problems that exist.
Remember Wot used to be a five class game where each vehicle type is capable of carrying the game in their own way. Now, no more. It's gone!
The problem is that when Purple players play these tanks its basicy game over, if you are in a is4 vs a kran on some hull down map they prob have food and almost all those types of players play full gold maybe with some standarts bond equipment 7-9 crew skils they have a lot of credits can spam full gold its no problem for them and the skill level i have seen players that play very bad in chiftens like realy bad on less WG gives them some GOD like RNG and MM which i think that this game gives to some cuf cuf CCs :) but hey dont woory there is always to play tier 8s oooo wait there you have Borat,progeto,skoda...... maaan this game is so free to pay to win ahahaha :D
Tbh my main gripe is with just 2 tanks: Progetto46 and ELC90.
Since WG introduced op tanks at tier 8 (Skorpion G, SU-130, and recently T56) and 10 (279, etc...), I drastically reduced my spending on the game.

I agree with your comments. I have pretty much stopped playing tier 10 battles as of three years ago. I think there are only half a dozen tier 10 tanks that I don't have, but it has not been fun for quite a few years. I find tier 6 to tier 8/9 to be much more fun. The meta of the clan reward tanks is just not conducive to us casual players. There aren't the proper limits on the types and mix of tanks when you get to tier 10 battles. (5 light tanks on a side?) Not that the MM in the lower tiers is much better these days, but at least you can be fairly competitive in pretty much any tank you want to play.
I completely agree with everything you said in this video... I really want to play Tier 10 more but I just cant bring myself to do so because of all this that you mentioned, I lose all interest therefore I take nothing in from my experience to get better at that level simply because its a massive joke of a tier and not worth playing, its quite sad really :/
The problem is that we need tanks like the Kran (strength wise) to balance the chief or 279.
Especially because the chieftain came back this Clan War, randoms are currently flooded with them.
Wargaming needs to start nerfing tanks like VZ, Kran, EBR but also chief, instead of buffing the other tier 10s.
The 279e is the least trouble out of these 3. It's not mobile, it's hasn't got gun depression and it has actual cupolas.
and gets shredded by Jageroo if you shoot the leftmost upperpart with heat to ammorack them
i left the game 2 years ago when the matches became
I agree 100% with everything. I am a player with over 60k battles and 10 years of experience. In this short video you highlighted the main problems that we players suffer in current WoT gameplay. If WG would pay attention to all these arguments that players have been raising for years now and start doing something about it!
If by some miracle a WG employees is reading this please believe that most of your most dedicated customers share his opinion. It's time to slow down with money-squeezing ideas and get back to improving and reforming the game. WG - time for a revolution!
Well, I came back to WoT recently (left in 2016), and damn, this is different experience compared to what I remember. The maps also feel much worse than in the past and I didn't liked them back then... :P
As for nerfing gold rounds, of course they shouldn't do it, they should just remove it and rebalance standard ones, remove stupid things such as directive, overall reduce % margin between standard tank and full kited tank with bound equip etc. so the new player have higher chance againts old "whales" But it's only rambling of old man that returned to WoT after 6 years and don't like what he see... :P don't take it to serious...
I thought when I got to tier 10 it would get better, tired of lower tiers, unable to pen, shot bouncing off, "Armor not damaged" but once there it was just as bad, use gold or go back to the garage real quick, every match gold spam/heat spam, on the rare occasion you might flank and start claiming points, you die to a TD sat at the back, wondering just what skills his crew had, how did he get so much vision, and still seem immune to any damage.
you better quit it again, this is not worth playing and putting money into it is the ablsolute worst thing to do since then wg will just continue like this. i quit 2-3 years ago and i dont regret it. i just miss the old wot from 2014
I mean... I disagree with hate on 279(e)... I mean... sure this tank is very powerfull, but you cannot use full potential of this tank all of the time. Since the depression is shit, and armor works againts everything only when its evelated a bit. On T8 279(e) is idiot-proof, but On T10, where 340 pen is common, almost everything has 330 and a lot of tanks have 350+, You need to actually be skilled in order to use rubble or something to elevate your armor and be shell-proof, +, at least imo, 279(e) is Slower, and harder to get than Chief and Kran.Speaking of which- Chieftain and Kran have everything. Gun Depression, which 279(e) is laking, Armor, which, in some cases, mostly with CW Tanks and T10 Tds, 279(e) is laking, and Mobility.
To be clear- I dont think that 279(e) is balanced, it is not, But its much more balanced than Chieftain or Kran.
Finally someone that knows how to play against a 279
yes, kranvagn and chieftain can just toggle brain off and sit on a hill.
Dont forget that 279 also has some actual cupolas which are relatively easy to hit
You're delusional and narrow minded, just because you can deal with it or you get penned (by 330mm ammo lmao) doesn't mean it is fine for it to exist in the game
Its also such a pointless ass comment you made , an analogy to this would be "being 400 pounds heavy isnt as bad as 450 haha come on guys its not that bad"
279e are quite rare in mm so many players have little experience fighting them.
Stopped playing after the campaign (like half a year ago), got the obj 907 & obj 260 unlocked aswell, since i started playing wot many years ago ive always wanted to have the 907, but even that and the 260 couldnt keep me playing
Totally agree, I worked my arse off to get my tier 10s but now it's horrendous to play them as 99% of the time the team with more Kran Chief 279e etc wins I hate it and it effects how I play as sometimes I just sit back and snipe as I can't trade with these tanks s why bother..
It's funny that your profile picture is Johnny Chimpo. I had the exact picture and crop for a guild logo many years ago in Archeage.

man, over 39k games, 4k+ recents for months and i can't help but feel the same frustration as you. every time I boot up the game I just get sad and very demotivated after just a few battles. i still love this game, i'm incredibly passionate about it still and it sucks so much to see something you enjoyed more than anything become worse and worse... now i don't even feel the desire to play, even if i still enjoy watching content creators like yourself, i just know that i no longer can put up with the bs this game offers
It's been a while since last meta rotation. Chief turret weakpoint should be of size like T110E5s, not some few pixels. But, yeah.. Some radical changes are required in order to make game better.
Im grinding kranvagen now. I am on Emil 2 right now. Emil 2 is like tier 10 HT honestly. How could they give Emil unpenetrable turret and autoloader 3x440 after 20s reload? Fkin sick! Yesterday had session 21 battles and 3100 average on it. Sick tank.
In my opinion there should be a game mode aside from ranked battle that dont include gold rounds. And this non gold round mode should also have a ranking system. This should probably just be a temporary event like the ranked, where the event only lasts about 3 to 4 months. This could be a great addition to wot. Making a good compromise and a fun mode to play on. That kran would probably have a hard time being OP in a mode where gold/HEAT is not around.
I'm currently waiting g for a game to finish, had to try and fight 3 279e tanks on Himmelsdorf with my panther 88. . I was even bouncing on their sides and rear, absolutely pointless matching those tanks against each other.
Honestly I detest going up against the krab-wagon lost count of how many times iv slung gold at it, and even the free xp trade tier 10s…279E/Qilin/Valour don’t do squat, when lanelocked I just back out and wait for a chance to flank, chieftain is manageable depending on the player/scenario seen a couple of 🍋 players.
Still surprised modern armour hasn’t landed on the PC yet (that’s a whole new world of crazy with mach 1 missiles yeeting across the map at you) can honestly say first time I took my challenger 1 out I got one of those slung at me, never before have I been so terrified and confused since I’d been away and missed the G.I.JOE event. But yeah I hope they are just planning something big for PC in that sense.
In console they just added the secondary cannons on the maus and the e100, so if you rush a kranvagn or a chieftain, you can constantly switch between the main gun and the mini cannon and absolutely destroy them
Recently since they gave away more Chieftains, nearly every other game I play at tier 10 has got one on each team, and sometimes I find the enemy team has 2 Chieftains in a platoon while mine is given 2 super Conq’s, a good tank but no match for a chief, completely unfair a lot of the time, as any decent play in one of those things in the right position can literally hold a third of the enemy team… it’s just stupid, and I do hope they sort it out at some point in the future… some decent tanks I can’t play properly as against them im no match.
This is the one reason why i dont play X tiers on randoms. The 2nd is that i hate seeing my credits going away 😐 (even if i dont use a single gold shell)
Was a world of tanks console player vet for 5 years but quited once they changed the ui and added the garage rip game never felt the same though loved they added modern tanks and ability to change your guns and turrets
I totally agree with this, i've ground out 2 tier X's since i started playing and i just don't like playing them, because i know that i won't be able to flank (BC 25t), or i just simply can't shoot a cupola, even though the tank is fairly accurate and i have a decent aiming (121). Ranked can be good when there's an open map, but that's it. I rather play tier 9 because mm is just simply better. You have a chance against tier X's and you can play down to tier VII as well. Let's hope WG will fix this somehow, because i don't like the lazy hulldown gameplay.
Thanks for the contents you make, i learned a lot from you so far, keep up the good work!
these tanks plus the newest lineup of impenetrable turrets is why the only t10 tank i play is the foch b, just to try and beat the current meta tank
I think you said it before, the best thing that could happen to wot is a direct competitor of a game that was made with the suggestions of the best players in the community to either scare wargaming into actually improving or making the game as it should be from scratch
I've played WOT for 9 years on and off. The greatest factors has been (as what chems said even if he is toxic af), the lowering of the skill ceiling and the raising of the skill floor via large changes to the gameplay. Simplification of armor? Raises the floor by not needing to learn armor weakspots, lowers the ceiling by not being rewarded for hiding your weakspot or penetrating a weakspot. Automatically Calculated Armor Penetration indicator? Raises the floor by allowing you to wiggle your mouse around to get a penetrating shot, lowers the ceiling by making angling less effective because they can just scan to get a green crosshair to penetrate you. There are many more things that they dumbed down so that the more casuals get more the fun to the point that the higher you go, the more unfun it gets.
Bane of the Chieftain sissy tanks: Superconq's and Kranvagn's, both can rip a Chief apart especially on the ridgelines. Vz55 and 60TP can shred them from a flank so when you see one get into those spots and focus the prik down. T95/FV should be the 1st target for the team on that side and if you do simple coordinating it's stupid easy, but getting the PuB team to do that is the really hard part.
Totally agree - I got the Kranvagn back in the day before it was buffed, but usually don‘t play it because its a very boring playstyle - on the other hand I can‘t play my 277 anymore without getting clapped by those tanks…
I prefer T9 gameplay because you can actually achieve something when you are Top Tier in mediums or TDs - but with tanks like the TS5, the new T9 Premiums and new hull down reward tanks like the Kampfpanzer 50t or the 1B it actually is getting worse too…
I miss the old days when the IS3 was actually the meta on T8…
I do hope a lot more content creators talk about the current state of the game, the broken tanks and all the other negative things
WG also watches this of course(dont know how accurate but i do believe they got a team for it)
This could turn around if more and more people watch these vids, joining the contect creators oppinions and let WG feel
TBH...I think you make some good points...but I think a lot of Purples miss being able to easily farm tomatoes like me in their Tier X fast meds also, and believe me while that may have been fun for them it wasn't fun for the average player. Having some armor and extra survivability in the Kran, the only one of the 3 average ppl are likely to get, helps them stay in the game a bit longer at Tier X
If it helps tomatoes survive, imagine what good players can make of it
You won't like it against you either
@@blackout9293 Purples were farming tomatoes... like me, since the T-54 was top tier
I would rather have the Kran as it is than go back to that
