Correct way to win?
Hello learnedtankers
It would appear that the makers of this game propose 2 broad strategies for winning. First is to destroy all enemies, second is to occupy the enemy flag for an amount of time.Both would, at face value,seem like equally successful tactics insofar as they both have the same result.
Despite this just about every time I am able to get to the flag, not often but I do try,I get told by someone or manyto get off.
Twice this weekend I have been shot by friendlies for attempting to capture the flag. Asking why why met with silence the first time and "top gun" the second. Actually
I didn't notice he needed one more **** for his coveted badge, It was certainly the last thing on my mind, I was just delighted to be alive at the end of the game.
Most recent game -a near certain capture win was ruined because someone ordered everyone off the flag to**** every enemy - Some tankers left the flag to engage the hunt , theenemy turned the game around and ended up killing all of us. Truthfully I cannot guarantee that it was a win as we still needed 20 seconds I can only speculate that it would have been very close. The subsequent fiasco was appalling.
The guy who was barking orders and leading us to German Stalingrad, answered, after I asked for his motivation, and I quote verbatim "damage wins games and only noobs cap". Besides the obvious antagonism in his statement It still did not answer my question. When I pressed harder for an intelligible answer I was told something about scrubs , mothers and retreating to tier 2 where I belong.
There is obviously something I am missing. No chivalry in winning by capture? Credits earned halved? Akin to ramming in War thunder? It certainly is frowned upon and for the life of me cannot fathom why.
Obviously in order to not be 'that guy'I will desist in future from attempting to capture the flag. All I am asking for is a reasonableexplanation.
Thanks
Gerhard.
