Newbs, noobs, beginners - pick the right tank from the start

4:03 pm, October 3, 2014 Tankers.   I have seen a lot of sad posts lately from players with 2k to 5k games who are struggling with the game. Poor win rate, WN8, bad stats, low esteem. I am no guru, so please don't ge [..] View

5:03 am, September 16, 2014 For the second installment, we'll go over armor angling and sidescraping (also called wall hugging, not to be confused with actively bumping enemy tanks up close so they miss shots). SIDESCRAPING In e [..] View

So after getting down the "basics", how does one keep improving?

5:03 am, September 12, 2014 The basics being the concepts of angling, sidescraping, hull down, general weakspots, general armour profiles, all that jazz. I recently checked my stats and in some places I'm purple, some I'm blue, [..] View

WoT Debate Club: "unfair" MM is great for learning and skill development

2:01 am, June 21, 2014 I don't imagine that this will put much of a dent in the crying about MM, but I'd like to suggest another, rosier take on things for those willing to consider it: Fighting tanks two ti [..] View

Why do I constantly fail on my jagdtiger?

2:01 am, May 20, 2014 Guys, its just one of those days where I just wanna stop playing this game. I think I'm a average type of player. I played through the german TD line up to t9. I played the KV-1 -> IS L [..] View

challenge -- break down WoT "skill" into 7 independent competencies

9:05 am, February 19, 2014 There have been a lot of discussions about how to measure WoT "skill". In my mind, this is a very broad term that is composed of different (and some independent) competencies. The challen [..] View

Fairly New, Couple of Questions

9:05 pm, January 22, 2014 Ok, so I just started playing WoT again after a 1.5 year hiatus. I started fresh on a new account and am re-learning everything. I have a premium account as well. I have gone through most of the newbi [..] View

There's lots of advice for how to go from a scrub to a good player, but how do I go from a good player to a unicum?

9:05 am, January 5, 2014 I've been playing for about a year and over that time I've learned all the skills that are often suggested to new and mediocre players, like side-scraping, armor angling, paying attent [..] View

What, in your opinion, are the exemplar lines?

9:05 am, January 4, 2014 There are a bunch of mechanical skills in this game like angling, side scraping, view range abuse, hull down positioning and so on. What are people's thoughts as to the best tanks or lines to [..] View

IS-3 tactics

9:05 pm, December 3, 2013 Greetings. So most likely due to my noobness and partially due to IS-3 being stock, since I only recently bought it, I've had some terrible games in it, which made me question what the heck am [..] View

Is player behavior "magnified" by having better stats?

9:05 pm, November 18, 2013 I was just curious to see if others think that certain actions - especially those generally considered as bad or douche-like are magnified because you are blue or purple rated player by WN or Eff or w [..] View

Damn Idlers

10:05 pm, October 26, 2013 So this happened to me today... Got a decent match up in my KV-4. Nothing unusual here, until about a minute in, we realize that we have a platoon of idlers on our team. Sure, we're in trouble [..] View

Positioning - I can't seem to wrap my head around this.

10:05 am, October 23, 2013 So. I am pretty new as a player. ~2600 battles, highest tier 7. And through all of this time, my biggest source of confusion has been, where should I go? Where should I stop and hide in a bush? In my [..] View

110 frontal armor?

10:05 pm, August 20, 2013 This thing has one of the most weirdest frontal armor I've seen.  Its upper plates seem to be impenetrable and I don't recall myself ever penning the upper plates (using 217 penetrat [..] View

Welp, I feel like a doofus. A cautionary tale on how NOT to research your new heavy tank.

10:05 am, August 11, 2013 TL;DR = get the top gun ASAP. If you cant carry the top gun, tracks then top gun. You'll thank me later. I had the dubious displeasure of my old Closed-Beta experience with WoT wherein mobilit [..] View

E-100: Worthwhile or utter rubbish?

10:05 am, August 11, 2013 I've been running my Tiger ll a lot more lately, and with the current amount of xp I've been getting (upwards of a 1,000 per game) I'm getting close to the E-75. I've heard a lot of amazing things ab [..] View

10:05 am, August 10, 2013 Since my last cynics' guide (to scouting) was entertaining and informative to so many people, I thought I'd add a cynics' guide to heavy tanking as well. Again, I hope the guide is entertaining and in [..] View

Got a friend who's starting WoT. What tanks (tiers 1-3) should I have him use to teach him the basics?

10:05 pm, August 3, 2013 I'm hoping not to have him go through the terribad phase that lasted a while (3k battles) for me. What tanks do you think would be best at stuff like passive scouting, peek-a-booing, armor ang [..] View
