It feels like 9.2 has specifically nerfed me 
Funnily enough, in a Belarusian office in mid July...
Thats Serb by the way, Lead Designer for WOT. My wife thinks I look a lot like him. This is troubling, as there is a notorious picture of him with 3 scantily clad lovelies also doing the rounds, where he looks a hell of a lot like me (as in spitting image almost).Took a bit of explaining that one, wife nearly fell of her seat when i showed her it
. You will have to google image it, Serb WOT, but be warned its a little NSFW What a f
king dreadful night I'm having. Good thing I play for for fun and not for stats or I'd have turned off by now, RNG has decided I'm in the st pot tonight. Just had a match where I bounced over 2500 damage on two advancing Black Princes, when normally I can shred them with little effort. My team eventually collapsed and we lost all of our tanks and only took out 4 enemies - and one was a tier 4 scout. Sometimes it just ain't your day!
EDIT: I took 493 xp and a sniper medal and I was the top scoring player on my team...a tomato team for the Xbox if there ever was one!

You're on Xbox too right? I played for about an hour tonight and gave up. I either got put into an almost all T9 game in my T25AT or I got a level match playing as arty but my team would collapse within 5 minutes. Not great.king dreadful night I'm having.

Send me a friend request if you ever fancy a few games together, my gamertag is Mastodon2, same as my PH name. I'm well up for platooning up and rolling as a 2 tank unit to pound some armour.I'm saving for a Tiger 2 at the moment, my highest tier tank is a Jagdpanther II but I don't play it at the moment as I can't earn money with it - no premium account, and it's not competitive enough without the top tier gun to earn money.
Just had probably my best match yet. Ensk, KV-1.
20 shots, 19 hits, 7 enemies killed, 3 others damaged, one killed while I was spotting it, ace gunner, devastator, sniper, steel wall and top gun medals earned - but not even a Mastery Class III?! Wtf kind of scored are people posting in this thing if 3013 base xp isn't even an M3?! Anyway, talk about a carry, I pretty much rolled a flank singled handled, before U turning at the enemy flag and coming along the other side of the map to mop up what what left.

Kv-1 is a heavily played tank but you would think that gets wa nice mastery badge?
Yeah, I know some of the popular tanks have ridiculous mastery conditions, particularly for the top medals as so many players using them puts the scores up. I think I've just had my 5th or 6th match in my Tiger 2 and I've just picked up a mastery class 3 for 1161 base xp, so clearly this isn't a particularly high scoring tank. Not bad though, considering all I have for it is a rammer, I'll be adding vents and probably binocs or optics.That is the funny thing about these Tigers, with their fearsome reputations, you'd expect them to be king sluggers, especially the Tiger 2 which is a very imposing and intimidating looking tank, but the armour is not really that great, and that lower front plate is dire! The modules seem vulnerable too, every other hit is an ammo rack or an engine fire :/

Russian game, and as has been noted in the past(Wittmans medal and some unbelievable stuff from the devs and mods on the forum), they are FAR from neutral regarding the Germans.jimmyjimjim said:

I heard in a QB video last night about how the Wittman medal became the Radley Walters as WG thought it was "unethical" to have it called the Wittman medal. I'm googling links now about this anti-German BS. I suppose WG are probably still bitter about the legacy of the German invasion and the damnation that has plagued Russia since WWII.Ye gods, having a complete nightmare with the game tonight.
As an example of how the RNG gods are treating me. Having a game in my UE57, normally a great little TD. Tonight, my 6th sense hasn't gone off once, yet I keep getting 1 shotted. The only game where I did manage to get some shots off (22 in fact) only 10 hit despite the recticle being fully on target, of those 10 shots that actually hit, 6 penetrated. One of those was my team mate who reversed into the path of my shell after I'd pulled the trigger.
At the end of the game I had caused a massive 223 damage with the 6 penetrations, oh and 106 of the damage was to my team mate who I killed.
So the 5 hits on the enemy were on average 23.4 vs the 106 on the friendly with a gun that's supposed to average 75 damage, thanks RNG, no really, you shouldn't have.
Edited to add, I've given up for tonight after I somehow missed a point blank shot into the side of a heavy tank with my TD, the gun doesn't have enough available movement to be able to fire around a tank at that range!!!

Totally fed up with 9.2 - can count the number of good games on one hand. I can only guess that the matchmaking has been nerfed, as I seem to find myself in games where almost my entire team have a win-rate less than 50%As an example of how the RNG gods are treating me.

I'm experiencing the same - getting quite frustrating now. Tonight I had two games where I died almost instantly (two shots each time) and then the last game with the TOG 2 the server quit - sat there unable to move. Come on patch 9.3! 
Last 2 days been terrible, morons supposed to defend base and go all out in unseen territory and killed one by one or else all attack from one side and leave other side wide open, grrrr get pretty frustrating.
Did not notice this was since patch as not played these last couple of weeks.

The average win rate is only 48% apparently. With your 53.74% win rate, you're better than 95% of the players out there.

Lololol, I decided to watch a few of the training videos on the xbox game to help introduce new players to game. Clearly, they've used action packed footage that they've set up from their own closed games in house, which is clearly staged. Among the lolz is footage of a T28 steamrollering across the battlefield in the medium tank video as it talks about how you need to be the the fast moving, going wherever you're needed tank on the field. Lol. Other good bits include improbably high numbers of tanks catching air off jumps, engaging in massive close range multi-tank brawls and flying off cliffs. Also of note is the fact that the tank explosion animations are lot more detailed in these videos than they are in the game - I suppose when you're running a closed, offline game with only 5 tanks on each team for the sake of recording video footage, you can afford to enable to fancy particle effects.
Also, with this talk of anti-German bias, if there is one tank that is definitely not biased against then it is the Panther, it seems to be incredibly fast, well armoured and seems to have no trouble penetrating my tanks whatever I'm in, I almost wish I had one to play! I might have to work towards one at some point.
