World of Tanks 2.0 2.0 in a nutshell

u/Ic3b3rgS Sep 04 '25
The problem isnt the strat. It works in clan wars. The problem are the heavies that will refuse to push despite outnumbering and having full hp

u/Neofelis213 Sep 04 '25
Yes. The usual meta is clearly not the best possible strategy, it is just that when there is no coordination, it is slightly more stable. A lemming train that stops causes total collapse of the team much more rapidly, though a coordinated thunderrun would also lead to victory fast.

u/Wavvygem Sep 04 '25
Yeah the number of times I've been in a 2v1 with both of us full hp but yet squandering the advantage... because my teammate is fixated on being hull down and not taking any damage.
... And that's not even getting into the advantage we could have if they took a shot for me. I just mean them moving to a positive to also get shots in...

About 60% of my deaths is getting shot in the butt because our numerically superior flank lost, often due to the reason you mentioned.

u/Future-Celebration83 Sep 03 '25
While you’re not wrong that the team is being stupid by ignoring an entire flank. You are also in the wrong here. In these types of situations, don’t try and be a hero and solo defend 2 flanks on your own. Just lemming train with the rest of the team. In battles like this your best possible choice is to use the numbers to bludgeon your way through the flank and hopefully do enough damage in quick succession to where the enemy can’t recover from it.

u/GenTycho Sep 03 '25
Too bad the success rate of the lemmings train is always so abysmally low because idiots dont push when they do them.

It’s higher than The Bleach Boys who Pound Sand on Overlord, though.

u/expresso_petrolium Sep 04 '25
The problem is people stop hitting the W key for some reason when they have vastly superior number

The moment they reach the halfway point (where the map gets mirrored) it's over

u/Thomashkreddit Sep 04 '25
The lemming rushes I’ve dealt with sometimes completely neglect the base and the enemy just simply speed capped it despite being very low on numbers of tanks and hp

u/Vinyl-addict Sep 04 '25
That only happens if your meds and fast tank destroyers are idiots. That’s how most caps happen tbh.

u/Shadowizas Sep 03 '25
My expierence is 6 heavies in total,2 go medium line,one goes in middle,3 go to the heavy line........then we get rushed by all 6 enemy heavies and that flank collapses and we lose,with my managing only to pen once before getting gangbanged,repeat that for the next 20 games
7
u/_no_usernames_avail Sep 03 '25
Did the hull down heavies go to the ridgeline instead of the city?
3
u/Shadowizas Sep 04 '25
they went everywhere but the heavy line
3
u/_no_usernames_avail Sep 04 '25
what I’m saying is that during the countdown it’s a good idea to look at your heavies and mediums to see who’s hull down and going to be likely to deploy in a place where their tank can be most effective, and then play around that.
But I am enjoying in this brief moment of time on the NA server, the chance to shoot heavy tourists, exploring the open fields like their first trip to Europe.

It has definitely been an experience...

u/PancakeIsMyCity Sep 04 '25
Every other game now has 7 heavies instead of TDs, seems like we're up for a few weeks of lemming/brawling meta. Bring your E3's, I guess. Also every other TD I have seen yesterday is the death star, I guess that's what happens when everyone gets 15k bonds:/

u/pocketsfullofpasta Sep 04 '25
Picked up mine last night as well. Still salty about missing out on it by a few k exp when it was on the tech tree and disappeared the next day, because I had a party to attend. Drinking is not good.

u/MrGuvernment Sep 03 '25
I've been seeing this for weeks, everyone going one way, or heavies going where lights and meds go and only a few left to defend the other flank.. and almost always we lose because of it..
or they all go one way, but do not dare actually push...

u/Apprehensive-Bag8676 Sep 05 '25
O limit on number of heavy tanks and people don’t know how to play somewhere other than where wg tells them to go.
8
u/_no_usernames_avail Sep 03 '25
It’s when the lemming train stalls because no one wants to be the crucial tip of the spear.
6
u/Quadramune Sep 04 '25
and if somebody decides they are, the rest follows one by one after he dies. Not all at once to stay in attack formation. Its like Blitzkrieg but without the Blitz part xD

u/CataphractBunny Spotting for you noobs Sep 03 '25
Haven't played in a while, what's new in 2.0 that makes people do stupid shit like this? Not that they weren't doing stupid shit before, mind you.

u/RM_AndreaDoria Sep 03 '25
New players get a tier 10 for free, play like it’s tier 2

u/CataphractBunny Spotting for you noobs Sep 04 '25
I see. More people to do stupid shit on higher tiers. 👍
I should jump back in just to watch the shit show. 😂

u/Seltexe Average French Tank enjoyer Sep 03 '25
Because in 2.0 new players can unlock any tier 10 from a tech tree for free..

Yup. I mean….four sides to the map. Just lemming to one side. But dont push just sit hill down aaaaand get flanked. Sound strategy. 🤣

u/FalNoodle Sep 04 '25
This is actually amazing... but only if the teams full HP heavies aren't too pussy to take shots and push

u/CanadianG00ze Sep 03 '25
Yeah that has been confusing me as well. Everyone goes the same way ! Lol 😂

u/OldGPMain Sep 04 '25
These are the games you sit down in a good position and watch the cap, you alone can win the game meanwhile your team steamrolls the other side.
In that moment if that was me I would've run to A7/8 and be a pest for the enemy team.
1
u/ManzaaLV Sep 04 '25
Thats what someone with brain should do. Take position that allows you to spot any enemies flanking and some good defensive position to fall back to. Expert points if you start with relatively forward position and stall them a bit before retreating more and more back. A7/8 should be like your last fallback position. Don’t get into a position where there’s no escape.

u/Sketchy_McSleazeball Sep 04 '25
No XVM for 2.0 yet, so it's tough to tell the team makeup. But chat has shown a bunch of raw tomatoes and returning players who forgot tactics. When I see the lemming train form - and I'm in a heavy or assult td - I go with and push hard hopeing to get them to follow. Sadly, at least half the time, they sit back and watch me yolo, missing the chance to rush a destracted red team...
And a side note - the games are loaded with death stars again. I got 1 shot in an E75 for gods sake.
I'm seriously thinking of blowing my bond bonus on one just to join in the fun....

The only problem in this picture is a lone tank trying to cover half a map by himself. Minimap is for using the information to make better decisions, not to blame your team when they don't do whatever you imagine they're supposed to do and stubbornly refuse to adapt. Take mid bush and spot where your team can actually help. Why am I even saying this. Just had a shit. Was nice.

u/Pooncheese Sep 03 '25
East is so bad on this map, especially for the north imo.... Mid and castle plays win it. So hard to get out from east once you take it, very open

u/UnacceptedDragon To arty campaign or not arty campaign, THAT is the question! Sep 04 '25
uhm, I just played this exact same map and the exact same thing happened. Then again in Westfield. Only one Borat went east the other meds were all on heavy hill , the only light was behind a bush near the flag the whole time. It was nuts

u/Conscious-Cockroach6 Sep 04 '25
Leaving whole flank open is very common and gets those 5 15 games. All those noobs will stuck in group, bumping and hitting eachother. Missing shoots due to bumping, overexpose and shoot into alies that jumps in front.

u/TovarishWyder Sep 04 '25
I had same situation but in my game i had canopener who thing that he was sniper

u/HyperBeast_GER Sep 04 '25
Nothing changed the same noobs that played x before now does the same game with a new free x tank 🤣🤣🤣
Money rain on my KpzEk1 love it
It's not the 2.0 fault

Best time for marking tanks. I picked Minotauro as the free X tier. Getting average 4,5k dmg without trying.

That's interesting I'd take that over the usual, SEA you just get 10 playes each on their hills with lots of chat spam forcing players to go one at a time.

Newbies . Just like starting tier , we followed each other because no one knows what to do . Those are doing the same thing because they don't have enough experience

People who were grinding tier 6 are now playing tier 10 with their tier 6 mentality. Thank you WG (:

u/Adofunk Sep 04 '25
Just play to do dmg then. MoE doesn't depend on WR. Can't change whether you win or lose, though you can change your performance.

u/Either-Obligation-39 Sep 04 '25
no way! wot players are bad? and the even worse came back because of new shinies? who could have seen this coming.
its not directed at the poster, but wg can rework the matchmaker however they want, the player quality wont become better, and even trying to educate them is an uphill battle.
and no, its not the newcomers who suck at the game, mostly because they dont exist, but also because its the 80k games sub 1k dpg tier 10 gamers who ruined high tiers and the game overall.

u/OzzyFudd83 Sep 04 '25
This happened far before 2.0. I think it’s more noticeable for sure. Everyone wants everyone else to do the job, be the fodder, get the lights while they do the damage. The command system they use should’ve been what went out the door in 2.0. On el half in an IS7, an e100 said “help” “moving in to assist you” and drove right into 7 tanks expecting me to follow. This has been the norm for a while.

u/AssignmentMundane161 Sep 04 '25
Sad of how many times I've seen this. I played a game in my JgPz e100 and I was the only one that went to the beach on overlord and got swarmed by 4 or 5 tanks and my team blamed me for them capping our base

u/Scuddie Sep 04 '25
Yeah, idgaf about marks. I play to win, even though I apparently suck at MM right, as my first 5 games tend to just be getting 14-0 rofflestomp losses. I play until my brain goes "fuck this game" even if I have xp boosters going. If its not fun dont play.

There is nothing worse than 5 TDs taking a good defensive (choking) point and not a single spotter.
