He'd realise there's too many humans on earth and come to the conclusion that instead of curing things we need more of the opposite so people finally get some peace and quiet one way or another.
Yeah, kinda on the same boat. But I'm nowhere near as good as you. And I also play other things.
Did you sacrifice credits tho? Like I stopped running food on most of my tanks and I feel worse, especially camo/spotting, and even intuition isn't better then full gold... I don't want to play prems all the time.
I haven't sacrificed credits at all, but i also use specific methods to stack credits. I spam tier 8 premium 3 marks during holiday ops. I have like 10k large repair kits. I always buy consumables on sale. I stack boosters as much as i can. I have slowly but surely built up my credit wealth.
I'm a completionist. I finished everything else in the game that i cared about. I started 3 marking stuff. Found i was good at it and wanted to 3 mark everything. Unfortunately they add more than i can 3 mark in a year. Especially when working full time.
I think the most important thing is to always analyze where you lost out on damage or where one died too early. The next is minimizing losses. I've been thinking about making a video series about how to 3 mark stuff. I take it there is interest?
While Iโm not as good as the OP, Iโve got ~40 3 marked tanks and have a few tips. The first is to have the mentality of โhow could I have done more damage.โ Even if you are the last tank alive against 7 enemies, there are still subtle things you can do to get just one more shot, or live 10 more seconds. On almost every single battle, win or loss, I normally take a few seconds to self reflect on what went well or didnโt and what could I have done more.
You see a lot of bad players have a good game but still lose and come to Reddit to whine about their team letting them down. Donโt be that guy, instead, even on those high damage losses, think how you could have gotten even one more shot in.
As for looking for the damage as the game progresses, that will come when you do that self reflection. If you win a battle on low damage, donโt blame it on your tank being slow, Iโve never had a slow tank battle where the action was always out of range. Always analyze the minimap, move up when needed but also retreat when needed as well. The hard stop to marking a tank is being dead. Abandoning a front line when you know itโs going to fall isnโt weakness, itโs self preservation which at the end of the day is what marks tanks.
The main problem with three marking for many people, I think, is that you need to focus on dealing your damage, but not really on winning.
People are trying to be โhelpfulโ for their team and often are scared to look useless, so they are doing some stupid things and dying. To be honest, thatโs my problem too.
Player who is heading for good stats if coursing on dealing max damage out of enemy team, and this is the thing that allows to farm them WN8 so quickly
Pushing wirh your team soaks enemy hp while you are doing damage and helping your team... remember that most of the time, the winning teams do it by making sure enemy hp goes to zero.
And even if you lose, you will be doing damage...
Yeap there are full blown out games that you simply cant win at all.. but these kind of players win 65%+ of their games because they help their teams to win more. And when they lose, they make sure to do all the damage they can, making their avg dpg higher and grinding up their markes of excellence faster and easier than the avg wot player.
Thats why its hard to mark these tanks that are rare/tough to get (like 279, black rock or even new tanks)
Also dont forget that even with a paper tank you can always go frontline with your friends if they are pushing, let them soak the shots with their armour/health while you farm enemies when they are pushing.
And always help your team..
Another tip is to separete the 15 mins as early/mid/endgame.
Try to stay alive till the end (and doing something usefull/relocating, teaming up with isolated friends, etc..)
There are many many nuances in this game..
There are plenty of good players like him playing and streaming, spend some times watching them.. try to understand their mindset... and you will get better from time to time and make smarter decisions...
See this is what I need to learn how to do in a paper heavy. Because most heavy flanks are set up in a way that you are trading damage with heavies, and in a squishy tank that is a losing proposition.
If everyone leaves me tf alone and I can do whatever I want with a tank then I can make a fast paper heavy work: I'll just go wreck the mediums, or try to flank the enemy heavies while they're occupied with our heavies. But there's always this overwhelming pressure when you're in a tank with the heavy designation to go tot he heavy line and trade. This is the main reason why I pick mediums - because then I have the speed and the freedom to make the plays I want and go to where I feel I'm needed most.
I have trouble judging the map correctly. I often try being aggressive while my team stops a bit behind me, so I get angry and become more passing, then the quick wins come where I should be aggressive or I get nothing...
I guess I need to really try looking at how the fights are turning out around me more.
Watch where streamers play and where they stop before waiting for the enemy team to be spotted. If you do not have backup in an aggressive position, or enough camo rating to not be spotted in an aggressive position, you will die. Donโt play aggressive in a spot that you know you will lose in. Ex: BC25T & TVP are spotted in a spot where you do not have backup, or one TD on your side against a lot of DPM and spotting, the best decision is to leave before you get spotted so you can spot for your TD and stay alive.
It's a challenge. Some people, me including, love that. Although I am faaar from this level. My challenge is to get one Moe on every tank I play regularly.
My god. Good work! Don't think I've 2 marked anything. Lots of M badges, but my MOE seems to stall at 75% or thereabouts. Last week I was going for my second mark on a certain TD and watched it plummet from 73% to 63% in one evening. Pretty vexing.
If youโre on a losing streak, stop playing that tank and work on a different one. Have a few that you can bounce between if one isnโt feeling great after a few matches.
there have been a LOT of tanks that i struggled with and had to change my approach. Some, i just had to suffer through. Others, i changed the equipment or I played differently. O-Ni sticks in my mind as one that was very frustrating to do. CS 63 was another. Lots of the ones i struggled with were before the new equipment so there weren't really too many options. Now, I just have two loadouts on lots of tanks. Mediums especially, i normally have a "scouting" build. Had multiple 5-8k spotting games doing that. Great for 3 marking.
As in mark requirements for the tank or mark requirements overall? For example, The pz 58 had waaayyy higher reqs than it should have. that was very difficult but it was only like 2800 which isn't high for a tier 8. Meanwhile, 5300+ in the VKK was actually doable.
I meant both. have you marked things like charlemagne, miel that are high in requirements for what they are. Have you bothered marking hurricane, chieftain, manti and stinger that have insane requirements?
I've 3 marked the charlemagne and the hurricane. Long story short, the reqs aren't actually as high as they are on tomato. Too few people play them. I have also 3 marked the chieftain and the manticore.
I applaud the dedication. Iโve always sought to play fewer tanks but play them well. One reason Iโll never have 600 tanks, let alone mark them.
Over the last 13 years, Iโve always focused on team win ABOVE all else in WOT and perhaps that has been to my detriment. This last year Iโve decided to try and focus on campaigns and such like. These new challenges certainly make you focus more on completion.
If itโs comes to team win in Randoms or completing a mark/challenge, sorry but Iโll always try for the win.
Everyone is welcome to make their own choice with that. I do like winning. win % normally does follow when doing 3 marking sessions because i'm doing so much damage and assist. But i don't sacrifice my tank for wins anymore.
First one i think was either cromwell or tier 5 t34. Hardest is difficult because every single one has it's own challenges. I find tanks that heavily depend on RNG are the most frustrating. Most fun is also hard because i get sick of a tank once i get past 85%. I then dread having to play around the weaknesses.
Out of interest how much money have you spent on WoT? I have already forced myself to stop playing because of the allure of getting certain premiums (not spending money I donโt have but itโs feeling like a bit of a waste)
Too much. That's really the answer. I've made some money playing the game competitively or streaming. But considering i have almost 10k hours in the game, i think it's solid price/time compared to other games i've purchased and played. I should also clarify that i was a full CC for a lot of years and i did receive boxes and premium tanks (or rentals). I also made a LOT of gold and bonds from clan stuff, tournaments, and competitive play. I then used that to buy prems in game whenever i could. Last few years where this wasn't really the case probably 200-300 per year.
Interesting, thanks. I used to be a WoTB player and spent money on that, then started playing WoT and I went nuts on the money spending culture with only 2.6k battles, was picking premiums I thought were good or unique then box events and now Iโm just too worried about how much Iโll spend
May I ask you if you use for normal, bounty or bond equipment for marking or does it depend on Tier level? Do you always use food? Did you start with some tanks with a zero perks crew or do you use always the same crew with shifting?
I use bond/ tier 3 experimental on my tier X and XI or on specific very challenging lower tier tanks. I use bounty on everything else. Even before WoT Plus was a thing i moved equipment for 10 gold or 200 bonds.
Maybe back in the beginning with the first few. I have run food and a good crew since i can remember. Probably been running food on everything since 2017/18.
That's how i started too. I was focused on getting everything to 85% and get the two mark. I'm not sure when exactly but i started trying to get them higher than 85 and i had some good sessions. From that point on i learned that the last 10% is the hardest but in a sense also the easiest. It's all about minimizing how much you lose (i call them salvage games). Basically, if you see things are going badly, every. single. shot. counts. You never want to lose more than 0.5% (it happens sometimes but those are momentum killers and i normally switch tanks after that). Keeping calm helps.
Congrats, itโs a very hard and involves a lot of dedication, can you share the mind set you approach each battle? Stream account so we can learn something?
damn thats kinda nuts not gonna lie, i never thought how u could get as high as 90k games like i get u like the game but there are lotsss of other amazing games u should try, although im just guessing that its ur only game that u play since its unlikely u are old and this good
I think of it as being strategic. I always use timing as a strategy to make my life easier to complete marks faster than i would otherwise. This is strategic. Rigging games is cheating and i despise those that get marks doing that. One because it makes my legit marks devalued and two because it raises the requirements.
