But you do have input, because otherwise you wouldn't have the vast array of player skill you have in the game. I.e. some are "unicums" with above 60% win rate, others are above average (51%+) and others are just terrible with 45% win rates for example (or worse). Are you naïve enough to think that this is all based on luck?

It has a big influence, something I have no control over. So why would I play a game like that?

RNG doesn't influence the game at all, it is part of the game. How you play the game is a much much bigger influence on the match result. Poor MM has a bigger impact.

So you never play any MMO's / RPG's then?

There is RNG in the game but good players will still do better than crap ones. You have no control over anyone elses skill in a game so based off that you shouldnt play anything ever.

Whats your WOT name out of interest?

Biggest different I ever made was passive scouting in a wz-132 you can sit really close in a light tank if you crew have the camo perk.

like 10 inches from heavy tanks in a forest just sit still revealing everyones positions they don't see you unless you actually fire (why do I see so many scouts revealing there position for a couple of hundred damage when they can be smart and get 3-5k easy spotting dmg and then get some dmg for yourself once your team are winning)

doing that also stops a lot of idiots from just rushing in because they know the threat is there.
you have to learn the spotting positions and get used to how close you can safely be (often you can spot from miles away) massive help if you have sixth sense as well as it will likely give you time to get safe if you do happen to be spotted.

The only problem with passive scouting is you get the idiots in the mediums and heavy tanks that assume because you are safe they will be so they come and sit right next to you and even if you aren't spotted personally you end up taking loads of hits.... so you have to warn people at the start of the game and it doesnt help if all the tards don't speak english

I don't actually think you read what I put. Please re-read that post you quoted.

RNG has an influence, but not a massive influence in every game you play. Sometimes you get lucky, other times you get unlucky, but a bad player will always be bad and a good player will always be good. Why do you think stats show up the better players?

I don't play MMO's or RPG's, never have, never will.

Well other peoples skill is the exact measure I wish to be judged on, impossible in WoT.

If skill is irrelevant in wot, please tell me why everyone isnt the same stats wise. Why do I have better stats than you, is it because of luck or because I'm a better player?

So, how I use the terrain, position my tank, use cover, where I shoot enemy tanks, choice of ammo, skills and upgrades, as well as where on the map I decide to go... All make no difference at all, between different players?

RNG is the same for everyone, so beyond that it is all down to the skill of players how you come out of a match. For every low roll you'll have high rolls as well, but I guess it's convenient to forget that.
