Why can't I be on a winning team!

mtiller's Photo mtiller 20 Jul 2012

My T-46 today.... I kjnow it's a light tank, but how come I'm always in the bottom 4 (normally absolute bottom)?

I've played about 15 battles in it today, assuming that there is a roughly 50% chance of being on the wiunning team, that makes the chances of being on the losing team that many time about 1 in 32,000, problem is that happens to one of my units every day.

Mark

Edit Normally margin is about 5-15

  • Stop playing when you loose twice in a row
  • Go to a flowershop and buy your mother a tiger lilly
  • Next day start over again

It works for me on KV5 and Maus. :Smile_Default:

Fair enough, unfortunately it's a little far (10,000km) to her grave!

Average win ratio is 48% because draw counts as loss..
First watch on youtube :

It will help you understeand how scouting and spotting works. You are new to this game and it will take you some time to get better tank, so first learn scouting. If you are spotter and your target is dealt damage you get 50% exp and credit reward like you would damage it yourself.
Stay alive as long as possible. Dont rush. Wait for your moment. Try to sneak behind to catch arty. They are scary only from a distance. Dont engage bigger tanks if you cant do nothing to them, you can try to distract them for someone from your team by flanking them. When shooting stationary use "sniper mode" and learn where are weakspots of tanks. Try to detrack them, they will become easy targets for arty. Sometimes if you just START to cap base in the right moment someone will have to come back for you, it will make easyer fight in the main front line. Use your brain, its rare thing, think what you CAN do. Every tank has its place on the battlefield. Even the smallest one. Always you can do SOMETHING.
Theory sounds great, but in randoms there are no teams only 15 separate tanks, so you need luck...
May the force be with you, young padawan, stay safe from lemming trains.
Well, five minutes of wrighting and one less lemming blindly pushing forward for his 300 exp, totally worth it.
BTW, why some ugly troll neg-reped newbe for asking simple question?
