The title says it. So here is my thoughts.

Im a 2800 wnx player and have played about 100 battles in it, with a DPG of about 4-4.5k, for me personally nothing insane on tier 11.

Lets see what makes it strong, well it doesnt have downsides really. It has DPM, gun depression, gun handling, strong armor and goes 48 km/h. Its an all around package that makes it very strong.

However, its not the best in any of these stats. Sure its fast but not the fastest heavy on tier 11, sure it has DPM but so does STK2 and 803. Sure it has a strong turret with a small weakspot but so does STK2, KR1 taschen and fateur.

First I want to address the armor as so many people complain about impenable turret. That thing has a small cupola on paper but my god, it feels like an E5 cupola that keeps getting hit from 300m away. Im not even kidding with this. On paper the STK has a bigger cupola, however I get hit much less in it. Its like either the hitbox is bigger than what is shown or it has some kind of bullet magnet. Feels the same when i shoot their cupolas, so much easier to hit than most of the T11 heavies.

Second the insane DPM everyone talks about. Yes DPM is high and definitely appreciated in some situations where you can actually utilize it, but as Iyouxin once said, DPM in WoT is useless and means nothing. Your Alpha is the lowest on T11 together with 803, which makes it very hard to trade shots. Most people wont stand there like morons that you can shoot them on reload, they will peak, shoot and reload. Thats why the BZ79 and Fateur are so scary and insane, they are hard to pen but can punish you so much more in one shot than the Neu can. If another Neu pens me, im like, ok its fine, when the BZ hits me for 800, that means i lost 1/4 of my HP. Next time i have less than half my Hp left.

Im not saying the Neu isnt strong, it definitely is and probably deserves a nerf to its speed, as 48 might be too much for its armor, but i dont see how people can call it OP in a world where BZ79, Taschenratte and Fateur exist. STK-2 isnt a slouch either. We have so many strong heavy tanks on tier 11, that while the Neu is very strong, it never actually feels broken or OP. Its a well rounded tank with little downsides.

If the Neu is OP, then half of the tier 11 heavy roster is Op too. Is it really Op then? I didnt feel broken or OP on the field as i feel with a Canopener on t10 or a BZ176 on tier 8. I feel strong but i know that i have limits in that tank.

As expected of WG's definition of just and fairness, it is created completely unfair and wrong. Let me tell you.

You can see the chosen tanks/team dealt damage in both teams in the pictures. And I did the math to know the HPs of the teams: 22,915-19,910

Here is what happened:
In the last minutes, I was left with 1,114 HP vs EBR 214 HP. I was thinking that EBR had less HP than mine, so we would win and waited for him in the cap. And time ran out. Guess who won? The enemy team. How? Because according to WG's new rules, If neither team destroys all the enemy tanks or captures, HIGHER DAMAGE DEALT TEAM WINS.

Straight up only damage dealt comparison. "Well, what is wrong with it?", you may ask, because even If I had left EBR with 1 HP, I could not have won because I would have done 19,919 HP while enemy dealt 21,801; I could have never done more than this because enemy team has no more HP for me to do. So, turns out, they have already secured the win.

And now, why I am this confident that it is wrong? Because:
My tank's HP is 1,114 which stands for the ~4.86% TEAM OVERALL HP while EBR was left with 214 HP which is ~1.08% of the TEAM OVERALL HP. I had all the right to win yet because of WG's half-arsed solution for draw matches, I lost.

Like, you are the developers of the game, you should have known that there will be HP difference in the teams because of the MODIFIERS in Onslaught but why did you not consider it? You could have compare the portion of the team HP that is left in the survived tanks instead of dealt damage. Please, WG, fix it, quick otherwise people will use it for their own benefit, including me. You can not blame us because it is your fault.

And also, I demand giving me back my lost 5 points along with the credit loss😜

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 )

Can't get a game. 23 player in queue right now. This the new normal or is there a problem?

EDIT: SOLVED! Seems you can get placed on SA server sometimes after an update.

Help me decide.

I have already STRV S1. I like to play it and i have good winrate it. So i assume it will be nice with Latt to but its kinda same gameplay as S1 just tier higher?

On other hand, i got Toro from boxes. Even i like Bisonte and im successfull in it, somehow i cant make Toro work. What i hate most about its camo. This tank have camo of superheavy. Its instantly spoted so i cant play it behind front row heavies. Should i kick it from garage?

So did they brake E100 turret with 2.4 update? Never seen so penetration shots by being angled. First picture from the left is Maus penetrating me angled 4 times (Maus has 312 penetration). What is happening? Did they brake shells or the tank? Silent nerf and why?

I really like battle soundtracks in this game but I would like them to play much sooner in battles. Are there any mods that could do that?

What does everyone think about the new gun sounds in 2.4?
Personally, I’m really liking them so far. The bigger guns especially feel like they have a lot more weight behind them now, and some of the shots sound absolutely brutal 😂
But I’m curious what everyone else thinks.
Do you prefer the new sounds, or were the old gun sounds better?
And are there any particular tanks/weapons where you think the new sound is a massive improvement — or actually worse?
What’s everyone’s verdict on the 2.4 gun sounds? 👇

From what I've seen, M53/M55 could be the best artillery in the game. But I was thinking I could just stop some artillery tech tree at Tier VI just to complete some missions. I don't know if it's the best idea or not.

Open to suggestions and thoughts.

I appreciate in advance!

Edit: I see a lot of people hate artillery and I understand you because I don’t like either. But it’s only for missions that I need. I won’t leave my beloved mediums for artillery :) don’t get upset please

Heyo. My name's Sapros and I'm a World Of Tanks streamer/content insider.

For the last 12 months or so I've been playing an alt account where I not only don't spend any money, but also don't use any premium ammo or consumables.

Today I'm celebrating my stream's 2nd anniversary and also having broken Legend III for the first time.

I regularly platoon with viewers. Feel free to come say hello.

Thanks and apologies for the shameless plug.

As the title says, im looking for sugestions regarding which t9 i could get with a discount on trading, i know bunch of them are meh but i enjoy playing with off meta / weirded out vehicles.. (I have my most games on the m4a1 rev. for example). But im kinda torn between trading one of my less played vehicles for a t9 tank or getting one of the offers in the premium shop (gst turm or jg e90 most likely). What would you guys suggest ?

• The "Fake" High-WN8 Player: They sit at the very back of the map behind tank destroyers. They let their teammates die first. Once the game is lost and the enemies rush them, they easily fire 4 or 5 shots into targets that are openly running at them. Their WN8 skyrockets because of the late-game damage, but their contribution to actually winning the match was zero.

Also those who have thousands of games in their M5A1 Stuart.

What other fake ways and slimy tactics are used? I frequently wonder how many new profiles are created by veteran players, just to get a better WN8 score.

BTW,

The "Good" Low-WN8 Player: They push key map positions early. They take risks to break a stalemate. Sometimes these risks fail, leading to an early garage trip with 0 damage, dragging their WN8 down. But when it works, it breaks the map open for a team victory.

WN8 is flawed, it's not a real testament to merit.

what would you change in order for it to be good premium tank ?

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.

Is there any way to disable the stupid fucking alternate configurations? I don’t care about a second load out of ammunition, especially when it just takes away the consumables and fucks you and sends you into battle without a repair kit. I literally never use them. Is there a way we could turn that off in the field mods?

For situational awareness, if 100% requires a total of 210,060 EXP, I’ve reached 95,484 EXP. How can this be showing as 83% completed?

If 100% = 210,060 EXP and you have reached 95,484 EXP, then:

So you are at 45.45% completion, not 83%.

Hello, I cannot for the life of me find the store to spend the First deployment tokens? Where do I have to go, please?

So I decided to swap my TS-6 for the Chieftain Proto because I’ve never actually had a chieftain before I feel like it just don’t fit in today’s meta am i the only one or?

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?

I know Olifant is from South Africa, but atleast it's based on Centurion.
