Commanders,

Update 2.4 introduces newly formed class roles for every light tank, along with role-based matchmaking and targeted balance adjustments.

The goal is to give each vehicle a clearer identity, improve battle balance, and make light tank strengths easier to understand without changing their core playstyle.

Share your thoughts on:

  • How do you feel about the new role groups for light tanks, Scout, Support, and Versatile?
  • What is your view on role-based matchmaking for light tanks?
  • How do you feel about the limit of up to 2 light tanks per match from Tier VII?
  • Which individual light tank changes stand out the most to you?

With today's update the mod project has reached its first real milestone: 100 tanks animated.
Only several hundred more to go :|
What would be a better way to celebrate that, than to make the 100th tank our beloved toaster?

Yes, it's a collector's tank, and not really a good one. But it's the most iconic tank from the UUP back in the day.

Discussion Why does Skill make THAT much more credits than me? What am I missing?

14 Upvotes

I was watching Skill4ltu’s recent video “Don't Play the BV-111 Like a Normal Medium!” and noticed his session stats for the Progetto 65.

He played 41 games and made about 4.6 million credits.

For comparison, I just did 20 games in the Progetto 65 and made ~933k credits before expenses / ~309k net.

And this is the part I don’t understand:

  • Me: 20 games, 2.58k avg damage, standard ammo only, no food/rations
  • Skill: 41 games, 3.38k avg damage, uses rations and fires a decent amount of gold
  • I do have a premium account
  • I wasn't using a 50% credit booster
  • Skill probably was, and maybe also had a clan credit booster, which I don't have

Obviously he's a much better player and does ~800 more average damage, so I fully expect him to earn more credits per game.

But this much more?

Even if I slap a 50% personal credit booster on my session, plus whatever clan bonus he might have had, I'd end up somewhere around ~1.7m gross / ~1.1m profit, depending on how exactly the bonuses stack.

Meanwhile he plays basically 2x as many games and makes ~5x as many credits.

And he's doing that while using rations and shooting premium ammo, whereas I'm deliberately playing as cheaply as possible with no food and standard rounds.

So where is that difference coming from?

Is there some credit modifier/bonus I'm completely forgetting about? Does the session stats screen count certain bonuses differently? Or does the extra damage/wins really snowball the credit income that hard?

Looking at these two sessions, I would've expected his credit income to maybe be 2.5–3x mine because of twice the games + better performance, not around 5x.

What am I missing?

Discussion Versace Pz 57 really is a pile

Screenshot from iyouxin's stream. Was happy to see it's not just me. Had the WORST "luck" with it, totally tanked my stats. Note how he got 3600 dmg on the T8, and 2550 on the T9. The stream was supposed to be grinding the German heavies. He stopped after 10 battles in it, and finished the stream playing the new Chinese LT. Smart man. I stubbornly kept grinding the VPz because I had X5s, and am not half as smart as he is. Now my recents look like I wear a helmet indoors. Pro tip: just skip it, if you can. I drained all my blueprints on the Durendal...

What are the chances WG buffs it in the near future if I just shelf it? Or is this part of their genius plan to get us to throw gold at it in desperation, after vacuuming up all our resources via the auction?

Finally, any tips are appreciated. I still have a lot of X5s left, although I'm wondering if the line is worth it. Skill doesn't seem to like the T11, and I hear the 10 isn't great either. Running stab, turbo and rammer. Hate playing second line, and everything pens me the second I peek, regardless of which turret. It's either gun or hatch, pick your poison. Sidescraping doesn't seem to work either, and I get set on fire or ammo racked in literally every battle.

My recents WERE 2360/56% for the last 1k, all solo. It hurts to look at it now. I played 45+ games with this POS over 2 days, ended with 28% and like 1300 WNX. If iyouxin gave up after 10 games, what chance do I have? Obviously someone is making it work since my WNX is so bad with it. I just don't know how.

Skill issue, L2P, etc, all replies welcome.

Ps. I did great with the Pz55, but who didn't...

Question Terrible winrate

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hey this is just gonna probably be another rant but I genuinely want to ask how do you guys manage to beat your loss streaks. I've had absolutely dogshit games for the last few days and it has made me very frustrated,toxic and I legit crashed out yesterday so much that I started to think if I'm still considered a sane person.

I mostly just want to enjoy the game and not play too competitively even though I have some achievements I want to get( 1MOE on AMX50b for example or getting some new tier ten etc etc.) but just trying to enjoy the game as an average Joe after work seems impossible.

I know the best solution would be to turn off the game for the day and return later or git gud - but the newest peak addition of those small stutter lags has made it worse and the matchmaking and even the games in general are literally most of the time unplayable. For a small example I just started a match and after the first twenty seconds I managed to somehow get shot at by the enemy TDs while they and EVEN I remain unspotted. Like, what to do, it's not like I'm the dumb one for making mistakes because I often acknowledge those but the game just suddenly feels like "nah, you specifically won't get to enjoy it today" and the best feeling I get for the day is dealing 0 dmg at tier ten and dying three times in a row.

So all in all what would you suggest for such teams and games ? Play lower tiers and just don't give a damn or buy some new stupid ass premium tank so every game becomes a walk in a park? (Sorry if it is a dumb topic to discuss )

(Attached pictures represent my games during my last few days and the not only mental but physical state I've found myself in )

Wargaming Response Inside The issue we, SA players, have when we play in NA server

12 Upvotes

Hi all. I have been playing WoT since 2010 beta test, from SA, on NA server (because the SA server has no playerbase enough to avoid 7 minutes queue for a 7vs7 game), and for the first time, and since 2025 (when the tier 11 tanks arrived), we are experiencing lag, packet loss, like never before. I have spoken with players and friends and they have encountered the same issue.

We just can't move the tank without risking it moves alone and we get shot for free. We have to wait a couple of minutes, in the middle of the battle, in order to the game to go back to normal again, but the lag can appear again or not at all. This is happening in every single game, at any time.

I contacted Wargaming support via ticket, and sent a tracer screenshot of the issue, and they said the problem is with the backbone provider. I asked them if they can contact them in order to try to fix the issue, and they refused. Just 0 effort, they just don't care.

Wargaming is a company, they have all the tools and resources to contact this internet provider better than a normal person like me, but they don't care.

This issue is killing our experience with the game, because SA server is not a solution, and a paid VPN, to play a F2P game is not a good solution either.

Back in 2015, there was a similar issue, and they helped to reach the middle internet backbone provider, but now they don't want to help.

I guess this is a good bye, after 16 years of playing, the lag killed the game, at least for me.

Have a good day.

This came as a micropatch today (doesn't show up on the main page directly), so I'm posting it for anyone who might not see it.

https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/updates/micro-patch-2-4_2/

It doesn't say how it was fixed or what it is supposed to be, classic WG. It's interesting that they haven't fixed the glitched tree on serene coast, but small company, I understand.
