****** Official World of Tanks OcUK Clan ******

Actually just deserted possibly the 2nd game in my entire time playing this game, after a game where I fire 3 shots at the side of a T57 heavy in my E50 and bounce all of them, loading in to the next game once again the teams are completely stacked against me. Quit before the game even started.
 
This is just another reason XVM should be removed or changed.

I know it can be frustrating to see, for example, a 30% chance of winning but deserting is just plain wrong imo. Plenty of times I've been in a team that looks like it has no chance only to obliterate the enemy in swift fashion. If you quit before you try it has a negative effect on everyone ruining the experience twofold. I'm not having a go at you fella.

Nothing better than pulling out a win against a superior team!

I don't quit unbalanced games, but I completely understand why some people do. Today I had 14 games in a row where the chance to win never went above 38% (we won only one of those, a 20%er where the enemy left a flank open and our lights just drove into the base and capped). Yesterday I got Himmelsdorf three times in succession while playing arty.

What really saps my will to play is loading in and finding half the team have XVM ratings in single figures - bots, in other words. You just can't win with those teams, period. I had one of my best ever WoT games recently in the FV304; killed every tank on the flank, did almost 4500 damage - and we lost, because two-thirds of the team were either bots or vegetables.
 
To be honest it was just the tip of the frustration iceberg for me, I know I shouldn't leave games at all and felt a bit bad afterwards, funny thing is the team actually won without me so it makes me look really stupid.

I don't actually have the % to win chance thing on because that's not what interests me about XVM, but knowing who I can rely on in some situations can be useful. It has good and bad points really and you cant have one without the other.

Played again today and have calmed down a bit, but still seeing things that annoy me. I really do enjoy this game... the idea is brilliant and most of the time it feels really good to play but when the randomness (gun pen, accuracy, damage rolls) kicks in it can be extremely frustrating and that's what REALLY annoys me.
 
Just played at Tier on 7 Siegfried Line in a MT-25 scout, but unless I'm on the north side I don't really know where to go, and it doesn't seem to need a scout on that side really.
I found a quiet spot in the centre and just waited to die basically.

Then I noticed I could get flanking shots on tanks by the gate area, and a push by their T29 left us looking a bit vulnerable. Popped back and found myself again with flanking shots on the T29 and killed him.
Then it was was whizzing around town and nabbing two more.

But then they capped and our team was on the wrong side of the map in slow tanks, so I whizz back in just enough time to ammo rack their E25 (normally I die to E25's all the time).

Not bad for a game in which I'd given up all hope and in a tank I really don't like much. Top in damage and XP too, and I'm only supposed to be the scout tank.

Odd that I do quite well in light tanks, but in a T-54 I badly suck and I'm lucky to break even.
 
It's a different mindset which works for you there. In a T-54 you're a strong tank that needs to be in and around the fighting constantly but in a scout you need to wait for opportunities to do the damage.

Ade and Sarg are you on tonight? Need some platoon time.

Was anyone else lagging yesterday or was it just me? I couldnt work out if it was my Virgin Media connection or WoT. I gave up in the end as I was powerless to prevent it happening.

Uh oh....VM alert.
I am on Virgin 30 meg service and same here...ping spikes upto 200+, lagging well...it was terrible...I would stop and then judder forward a few more frames, and be out of cover and yep...GET IT!
Also when aiming it was awful as it looked ot have skipped a few frames meaning I either bounced or missed.

I have done ping test but nothing...pingplotter on the other hand looks like this:


All this on the usually "best" server - EU2 ??:confused::eek:

Now is is a Virgin Media issue or WOT ?
 
Just checked and it seems we only have about 20 active players in the clan these days and it does really feel like that too!
