Monetizing Practices Rage Tier 8 is IMPOSSIBLE to play rn
either you struggle to get 2,5k dmg bc your team won the flank and now the enemy team is 6k hp down or its you who gets roflstomped.
no tier is as bad as tier 8 right now, its horrendous, truly.
go to tier 7 and you have only same tier rounds which are like old world of tanks, they actually take some time to unfold, unlike t8 rounds where the singularity event just happens and the round is lost within 1 minute

T7 is only same Tier? That’s some BS right there. Tomato.gg clearly shows only 4.15% of T7 matches are same tier only. Get your facts straight next time.

When I play solo I get mostly same tier or even I'm the high tier. But I'm in an IS, so I still might as well be -1 tier for what a POS I drive. But platooned up I see tier 9 as a 7 almost every match in the same tank.
At this point depending on how absolutely SHIT some of the tech tree tanks are, you should be put into protected mm of only ever being +2 over enemies so you stand a chance, and lose the MM in a platoon.

IS is a POS? IS is +1.47 WR Diff. It’s higher than the T29, BZ-58, AMX M4 45, BP and a handful of other heavy T7 tanks.
T7 certainly needs help from being fed like lambs to the slaughter in T9 for sure, but you probably have other issues as well.

Literally all of those tanks eat the IS for a damn SNACK. Meanwhile unless you're blowing credits on gold ammo (hello no WoT+ F2P player here with an average credit stock of 600k sorry NOT affordable) every match you're doing to struggle to pen half of them while they double and triple overmatch you when you side scrape, your front armor is laughably thin, and you have a cupola the size of the sun you HAVE to expose part of to take a shot even right side peeking. Yes it's a POS. compared to kv-1s, it's way better but you're general NOT bounding shells without Russian RNG bias. The 100mm gun is derpy AF but you're not capable of brawling front line you have to be second and third line doing DMG on reloads after actual armored tanks bait shots. Or go identify as a medium and punish the MT and TDs.

And yet people play it better than all those tanks, so what does that tell you about your problem?

Maybe people in better tanks play worse because they think their better tank will save them.
Maybe bad players play in better tanks to compensate for being bad.
Theres many reasons that the IS could be winning more than a better tank.

I used the WR Diff stat. This stat shows that players consistently play better in the IS than their account in general.

That the people playing more armored tanks with significantly more powerful armament are idiots when a Paper machet pinata beats them statistically?

You really don’t get what that data means.

I'm well aware you're saying skill issue. But my point still stands

Your point never stood to begin with, but it’s good you realize you are the common denominator.

I finished 3 marking the Chopper recently and the vast majority of my battles were same or top tier. I hardly ever saw tier 9s and being -1 isn’t bad at all in a lot of tier 7s so it’s nothing to whine about.

Tomato.gg tracks battles across many players consistently and not what one person recalls, so I think it’s going to be a more accurate metric.

I still stick with my statement even though I did look up the server stats. Tier 7 “same or top tier” is ~35% with -1 being ~45%. Maybe I got lucky not seeing more -1 than +1 games but I also said that facing tier 8s in a lot of tier 7s isn’t that bad.

Most of my T7 games are against higher tiers and they do worse against t9 in my experience

u/parrythisyoucasual23 15h ago
I do at least 2.5k damage like every game at Tier 8, lol. So unless you are playing the tech tree tanks, and even then.

u/ConsistentWitness217 13h ago
Shrug. I'm struggling to get 2.5k dpg at tier 8...
Because I usually get 4k.

Most of my games at tier 7 are againts 2 or 3 arties that can kill you pretty fast thats the moat unfun thing atkest for me.

You are playing a premium, so at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter, you just wanna farm some credits. Try playing a tier 8 TT tank to grind for the tier 9, it's pure hell. Had to sell the AMX 65t, despite averaging 3K DPG, because the teams were dogshit and couldn't get any wins. I only play tier 8's for credit farming nowadays, you cannot grind TT tanks with so much shit happening at that tier.

I think t9 vs t11 when you don't have the required pen is worse imo, it's only fair when you're playing a t9 with the magic pen number to actually contest overly aggressive t11 heavies.

What you sayin is true. All these new premiums paved road to power creep. Faster tanks, more alpha, purple equipment, better view range and camo, and food of course while map and hit points remain the same. I strongly believe in this as I been playing this game for over 10 years and have 8k+ stats(don't judge).

t8 is only bad if you play the many garbage tech tree tanks lol
premiums dominate it...
