So, apparently I'm a horrible noob. (KV1-S)
I've been playing this game for about a month now, trying out German TD's, American artillery, and Soviet heavy tank lines.
My main weird experiences with other players' comments began when I started off with the stock KV1-S. I've noticed with driving that tank, is that people expect big things from it, probably due to the top 122 mm D-2-5T gun and its reputation. Nobody ever realizes that the stock 76 mmgun is a complete POS with only 86 penetration, they never believe me when I tell them. It's a huge grind to get even the mediocre upgraded 76mm with 109 pen, especially when I quite often get into tier 8 matches, where either gun is almost completely useless.Anyways, I get yelled at and abused by so-called team mateswhen I'm in a tier 6 game,for leaving frontal assault positions, because bouncing shells off of AT2's front armor all day long is so much fun, and trying to go around the other side of the enemyto flank and take shots at weaker rear/side armor to hopefully do something at least. Apparently, I'm what's wrong with this game, because I should be front and center with my badass KV1-S, and carry the match. All in a tank with worse armor than a tier 5 KV-1, and with a worse gun than that tank also.To all those ignorant morons making comments, stfu. Thanks.
But oh no, it doesn't end there. I finally grind out the 122 mm D-2-5T after lots of really horrible and frustrating matches, and I get in a match where I'm the last tank left besides 2 artillery on our side, and there's still half the team left on the other side. Sure, I'm top tier in the match, but I get surrounded of course, and get one good shot in, taking out a medium, but hello 17 second reload time, and goodnight. Meanwhile, I have some dead KV-1 guy on our team saying how horrible I was because I was just f'ing around getting shot at and dying, and not shooting anyone WHILE MY GUN WAS ON 17 SECOND RELOAD. Really?
Are the majority of WoT players really that annoying, or am I missing something here?
Love the KV1-S now that I finally got the 122, but come on, it's not a super tank, some of the comments I get are ridiculous.
Comments?
