Step one: Dab the '2' key

Step two: ???

Step three: No profit, because gold is expensive, but at least you win that way

First game in a week or two.  My trusty Ke-Ho gets 600 damage, 4 kills, and 1700 spots on Highway

What could possibly be better than that?

Experience received: 2,856 (x4 for the first victory each day)

Depends on the tank.  Currently I don't have a premium account and am mostly playing tanks with enough pen that they don't need gold ammo.

I see myself as a bit of a Renaissance Man.  I am equally rubbish at everything.

I dunno. How about this? :trollface: http://wotreplays.eu...ay-type_5_ke-ho

 

My current stats. 1.31 KPG. Great little tank

Just press battle enough times & you're bound to win one eventually.

I think this is one of the great appeals of the game.  If I were to play Chess, Go, Bridge, Poker, Scrabble or football against anyone competent I would lose all my games.

In WoT I do at least get the occasional win.

You can also trick the system: Yesterday I played 3, won 2 in my KV220 and picked up purple WN8 of 4506 in it with average 1500 dpg.  This suggests that there are some truly terrible KV220 players out there.

Quite fast, invisible, excellent gun, what's not to like?

First game today, 2000 damage in KV220, 700 spots, 1700 blocked.  Killed 5.  Cruised through to their back line on Airfield and blew up both their arties.  40K net credits.

Not war, perhaps, but how sublime!

 

Victory!
Battle: Airfield 
Vehicles: KV-220-2
Experience received: 6,200 (x4 for the first victory each day)
Credits earned: 59,900
Battle achievements: High Caliber, Pascucci's Medal, Mastery Badge: "Class I"

Well, that's played 6 won 6 today in KV220, despite having drunk most of a bottle of whisky

Skill will out

One game was especially funny as I was head to head with a toon of two other KV220 enemy and took them both down

Time for my afternoon nap.

I think the same would be true of any team game, especially if the teams are selected at random.  Eventually you'll get a team that will carry you however badly you play.  There was a clan kicking about on here a while back whose whole raison d'etre seemed to be to lose every single game & still they managed 20+% win rates.

 

Perhaps a sample size of 3 is a little small to start judging everyone else that plays the kv220?  Especially, if you also have over 3k games in the same tank with average 626 dpg.  Sample size is king.

If you include yesterday and today my sample size is played 9, won 8 in it.  Overall it gets me 60% wins and I could not by any stretch of the imagination be described as a good player.

Average in that small 9 game sample 1350 dpg and WN8 4250

It's one of those funny tanks where dpg is usually less important than what you soak up.

Provocative action by Ronald Searle. From 'Down with Skool' by Geoffrey Willans, 1953.

 

I am sure bulldog had his motives. But it's funny. Maybe a better resolution?
