It's an interesting vehicle. I bought one recently and played my first few matches with it yesterday and to be honest I sucked in it.  I need to practice with it since my TD playing lately has been in a T30 or my recently purchased T110E4.

Statement of fact.

But any tank that will flat out curbstomp a 110E5 face to face is hard not to do well in.

I love switching to gold and just putting round after round straight through the turret face of heavy tanks who think they're being snazzy trying to bully a light skinned TD. The tier 10's reload is closer to 6 seconds too.

One time I was on Cliff and because of the astonishing speed of that TD made it to the lighthouse. When I went into siege mode I flipped the "Ninja Vanish" switch and though I was plainly in view I had both camo net and binocs and was able to flat out stop the enemy force of heavies from climbing out of their North spawn and they never spotted me.

you are looking at it the wrong way, its easier at lower tiers (4-5), just like yesterdays mission was easier on high tiers (9-10)… just pick some lowtier with limited MM, load ~5 premium ammo every game and its super easy

Equipment for it is Different as well.

This is how mine is Setup Per what Saxplayer told me to do. Rammer , Coated optics and Camo net With a Fully Rotating Turret the net never drops down unless u move the hull for some odd reason.

Also about the Gun Depression on the Skorp it gets the Full Gun Depression from the sides only so park side ways and your Golden.

That doesn't seem too hard if you're able to be on either team.  

I'd have my ass in a tank that gets pref MM or tier 9 and would run the Patton, T55/54, or E50. That way I could ensure that I'd be top tier or close more often than not.  

Or the Scorpion. Most people struggle to do 2000 damage per round. That's four whacks on enemies.

That's the only real complaint. Only the close games are really fun.  They need to squeeze the win rate bell curve so we spend less time at the far ends.  It's not the tank match ups or player skill balance or anything else, it's the can't win / can't lose games that suck the life out of it.  It makes you question if your skill matters and if your skill doesn't matter, why bother playing?

What's the average win rate of all players on the NA server.  

That should tell you everything you need to know.  

Don't get me wrong, I get pissed at some dumbass who decides to cap in his scout when we have the enemies on the run and cornered and we could all be raping those Shitlords mercilessly, but on the whole, they never cap when it's prudent to do so.

Hey Meegz was in that battle.  Cool dude.  

That said your team's tank makeup should have won that round easily.  If your top 5 non arties had pushed North with the T26's and the strv going town but staying on the outskirts that's a curbstomp in the making no matter the player makeup.

I'm sure that they screwed it up, though.

Otherwise it was fairly even, skill wise. Personal ratings of 6000 is where I say someone can be a reliable player and, to me, it looks like both teams have the same number of competent players if that's the point you're trying to make.

Now we're it up to me, if you were unable to attain and maintain a specific personal rating you would be unable to purchase, research or play specific tiers. So using WN8, if you were below 1500-1600 WN8, tier 9 would be closed off to you, and 1600-1700 would be for tier X and up.

I mean, if we are means testing various performance ratings as a filter to baddies and South Americans Shitting up games, why not just filter out all the chaff?

Looks like the enemy team has a few better players but your team has a far better tank makeup for that map. IMHO you should have won.  

That said, stupid players have bad stats for a reason,  making stupid mistakes, but to say that you couldn't have won is a misnomer.  

It's why I beat the drum of people doing what they should be doing in a given tank will almost always win, stats be damned.  

So yeah, based on the tank makeup, I'll call that even though I know they screwed even that up and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

My problem with win rate is that those of us who played earlier in the life of the game would do tank companies and attain astonishingly high win rates, so while I agree with you that win rate is the single best judge of player performance, I am personally prejudiced against it.  

The other thing is that WG tries to keep you at 50% win rate. Whether this is on purpose or not is debatable, but in my experience, there should be a larger disparity in people's win rates and there is not.

That said, I agree that win rate means you tend to do more for your team than not. Someone with a 60+ win rate shouldn't be taken lightly.

You can still easily pad win rate too.  Just run platoons in tier 6 in Cromwells and you could get it to 70% without too much trouble.
