I got an award for 6k victories awhile back. When I say "Award".....it's not like they gave me gold or a few days free Premium or anything tangible.....irked

Anyone else seeing a big increase in one-sided games since this latest patch?

Teams are collapsing in record time it seems to me. It's rare to have a close game.

Last 4 games as an example, teams won:

15-4
15-6
15-3
15-6

They were over in a flash too.

To put things in context, I was knocked out the other day in a game, my executioner had a 37000+ game score.

I was in a Traktor, him a T2 tank (cannot recall which) . He killed me, but my side won the game.

How the heck do you get up game scores like that?

You don't even get in top 1000 hall of fame unless you've played about 43,000 games.

The top person on the EU server has played over 136,000 games.

They must be playing 24/7 to get numbers like that. I don't know how they stand it.

Got an award yesterday for finally getting an all wench crew for the panther II.

Not like it made a difference, driver still hits everything on the map, gunner still misses everything on the map, loader acts like she's afraid to chip her nails, etc. wink

Oh dear God don't give them ideas! Don't you remember when they put different accent crews in?!
Had a couple of games in the AufkL Panther replacement, it's gone from a completely pointless tank to one of the 1950s autoloading light beasts that can dish out 1200 damage in 10 seconds then scoot off at 60kph. I normally hate those tanks but now I have one I can see the appeal hehe
Reckon I'll be sticking with tanks rather than swapping over to Ships too, just don't really get on with it.

I got Heavy Tank 15 (Stug IV) using the tier 9 VK45.02B. The frontal armour on that thing is so silly that I got the mission almost right away without really trying. I definitely recommend that beast for any HT missions that involve bouncing damage.

I haven't got to HT 15 for the T28 HTC as yet but I don't see why the VK couldn't achieve it second time round as well.
I can't believe I forgot that one, especially considering I'm only 60,000xp or so away from unlocking it. I have actually enjoy the 45.02A, I hope the B lives up to my expectations.

I've not been paying attention but have they reduced the payments for a win or increased the price of gold shells, I'm broke, playing gold tanks and still broke after a round wheras I'd normally be 70k up.

Depends what tier you're playing. You'll never make credits in the higher tiers without a premium account.

At best you'll break even.

Well I was a beta tester, I've been playing for over 5 years, only now do I lose money. So I was wondering if they changed it.

They haven't put in any patch notes that they have changed anything, and the few games I've played in my premium tanks since the patch seem to have delivered the normal amount of credits. I wouldn't put it past them to have changed something, but haven't noticed it.

What tank were you using? I was in Tier 8 prems, maybe its changed on lower tiers? In the past though when I have made much less / a loss than I was exepcting it's usually because I hadn't realised I was shooting prem shells or using premium consumables. The consumables in particular, at 20k per pop assuming you have none in the depot, will eat your credits really easily.

I wouldn't put it past them to change it. I've long suspected they can dynamically tweak the RNG to favour one side over another in order to get games over faster. Note how many more bounces, arty hits and low rolls you get if you're in a "losing" side.

I've had that in one game, but my team was so much better than the enemy, we won any way, but the bounces were unreal.

It was so plain to see, much of the team was raging with the bounces, ramming and HE started to get used.

Yeah, some people blame the school holidays for the landslide teams, but why would kids be worse than anyone else? They have loads of free time anyway and will likely have better reactions than older players. It's always bad on weekends & x3 weekends in particular; Is that because worse players come out at the weekend, or that it's just busier & Wargaming skew the RNG to increase the server throughput?

They'd never admit to it if they were. It would kill the game overnight.

This patch is so damn buggy. I've had multiple CTD, lock ups and even Windows 8 BSOD for the first time ever. Definitely the worst patch for that I've ever seen.
