All teams in world of tanks. How to write a message in World of Tanks (WoT)? In battle mode

In world of tanks there is not, has not been and will not be a balancing of players in teams according to their level of play. In any case, that's what the developers say. But we know that their official position can be as changeable as the spring wind in February.

Naturally, the level of skill world players of tanks can vary from phenomenal to practically zero. Unfortunately, the level of the tank does not always affect the distribution here. Sometimes battles at the tenth level amaze you with mistakes that not everyone makes at the first levels. It follows from this that victory may be determined not so much by the actions of tanks in battle, but by the basic distribution of good and bad players across teams.

Today we will speculate on this topic, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the system of balancing by game level. You should not expect in this article on www.. The conspiracy theory will also be touched upon, which, as usual, exposes all the treachery and hypocrisy of the developers of the world of tanks. To believe this or not is again a separate question, because conspiracy theories are so attractive and often true.

Behind

It’s bad when the outcome of an event is already predetermined from the beginning. Within computer game– this is not fatalism, but a very boring situation. It makes sense then to play if the question of victory or defeat has already been decided in absentia by the wot team balancer. It’s even sadder when the difference in the level of players on one team is an order of magnitude greater, then we see very fleeting battles.

The losing team does not have time to do anything useful, just merge. Such situations are usually referred to as “turbo drains” or “turbo defeats”. I regret to note on the site that with the growing popularity of the game, such battles are happening more and more often, especially during periods of powerful promotions. Indeed, if a team of deer fights with good players, then even a very good chance of winning good player, who accidentally ends up on a team of weak players, will not happen.

Let me make a reservation right away that I am not calling for you to immediately give up, based on the statistics of the players of your own and enemy teams. Firstly, statistics often lie, because many people purposefully fill themselves with statistics, but don’t really know how to play. There are also occasions when weak players win, but this rarely happens. Even for such a chance, it is necessary that the imbalance in the average level of the teams is not too serious.

The main problem is not even that the outcome of the match is very predictable, the whole problem is the quality of the game. Such a fleeting battle (turbo drain) is equally unpleasant both on the part of the losing team and on the part of the winners. There is no pleasure in such battles, and there will not be, because there is not even a hint of struggle.

The solution suggests itself; you need to introduce a system for selecting opponents based on the level of the game. A similar system operates in the second StarCraft, no one is complaining. That is, they will select a player for your opponents who is approximately equal to you in level. We began to play better - our opponents became stronger, it is always interesting to win, and there is always a chance to win. There is a so-called ladder system.

Against

But such a ladder system (the principle of a ladder, gradually strengthening opponents by steps) also has its drawbacks, so there is world features of tanks, which theoretically prevent its introduction into the game. In fact, in singles games It’s interesting to compete with those whose level of play is comparable to yours, otherwise the game will get boring very quickly, there will be either easy victories or fatal defeats.

But world of tanks is a team game online game, so what is important is approximately the average level of play on the team, taking into account the levels of tanks (if top tanks weak players, this will greatly reduce the chances of winning). This simplifies the situation, but if the distortion is strong, then the same thing will happen. This is what we see in the form of fatal defeats and easy victories, where you can’t even reach your enemies in time.

When selecting teams entirely of the same level, the battles will become boring. After all, you will be confronted by equal opponents, and the cost of a mistake can increase greatly. There is also a possibility that the battles will be even more boring, but here on the website I see the problem in the overall game balance, and not in the system for selecting opponents. But the main negative feature of the ladder system in wot is its rejection by the developers.

KVG openly and clearly states that the level of players will not be taken into account when selecting teams. They partly explain their decision with the same arguments that I indicated just above. There is no democracy in world of tanks, players have no rights, the entire game is only in the power of the KVG. So for those who want to change something in wot, I can recommend choosing , since these are now available. Here we either use the product or refuse it; the developers do not provide any other options.

CONSPIRACY

But many have become accustomed to not taking KVG’s word for it, and there are quite obvious reasons for this. But we will not analyze them today on the pages of the www.site; there is a separate article on the site about the treachery and hypocrisy of the developers. As for the selection of teams, many began to notice that if the percentage of wins on vehicles gradually goes up, then they will then face the fate of being part of teams of players so weak that they can no longer influence the outcome of the battle.

There are also suggestions that if you win on a tank, then in the next battle there is a higher chance of getting to the bottom of the list of teams, from where it is more difficult to influence the victory, especially for slow and heavy tanks. This theory was confirmed in user agreement games and according to some semi-secret data. Other theories exist at the level of rumors and speculation.

There are variations of this idea that the more battles a tank has, the less likely it is to get to the top of the team; this idea is especially relevant for premium tanks (just bought, you’ll be at the top, then at the bottom of the team list). But here I would not go further in my assumptions; excessive imagination leads away from the truth no worse than its complete absence.

Is the solution a compromise?

Still, the popularity of the world of tanks has reached unprecedented heights, and it is not at all necessary to learn the game. It is important for developers that there are many players online, as well as the fact that they donate as much as possible, that is, they invest more real money in Game. That is, KVG is of interest online players and donation, they are less interested in all other indicators. A simple confirmation of this theory is the terribly low average level of players, and its dynamics are negative.

So, more and more often, any player on the team will be surrounded by frankly weak players. Many will play in platoons more often, and they introduce their own imbalance into the game. So the number of uninteresting battles, where doing anything is problematic, will increase. The solution can be called a compromise option, when opponents will be selected not according to their personal level of play, but according to their team level. That is, weak and strong players will still be on the same team, but the opponents will have a similar team composition.

Total

I would like to end the article on this constructive and slightly ambiguous note. But we will have to end on a pragmatic note. Developers are unlikely to do anything in this direction, since this has little practical meaning for them, online play in the game is only growing, and wot owners are not complaining about income either. So, in terms of the balance of teams in terms of level of play, everything will remain the same, in any case, no changes are planned. If this situation really annoys you, it’s easier just not to play World of Tanks.

No need to explain why harmonious team game- the key to success in battle. Invite your friends, team up with other players in platoons and work together to win brilliant victories!

→ Teams in world of tanks

All teams in world of tanks are aimed at only one thing - interaction between allies. Each of the fifteen tanks in the team is part of a team, although not a very cohesive one. You must use commands in wot to help yourself or your allies by calling for help in time or performing other actions. After you have purchased your second/third/hundredth tank, you should know the commands by heart world game of tanks. If you don’t know, it doesn’t matter, in this article we’ll talk about all the commands and think about using a general chat.

F2 - attack! As the name suggests, in wot the command allows you to give a signal to your allies, which calls for them to attack. Use carefully and only when you are confident that you can push through the required flank. There are some individuals who, even though great advantage the opponent is thrown into the battle chat wot this team and goes forward, hoping that all the other allies on the team will follow them.

F3 - to base! In the game, a battle can end for several reasons, and one of them is the capture of a base. Therefore, the developers introduced this command into world of tanks. I have often witnessed the heartbreaking drama of more than half of our team moving forward despite the firefly taking over the base. Everyone thinks that there will be a player who will turn back, but since everyone thinks about this, no one is going to break the tackle. When this team appears in the world of tanks, I advise you to immediately look at the capture indicator, and if enemies are circling around the base, then immediately turn around and go knock down the capture.

F4 - follow me! A useless feature that gets boring in every battle. Out of fifteen players, at least one will imagine himself to be Napoleon and will frantically urge to follow him. Whether it is necessary? Doubtful...

F5 - that's right! A quite useful command in wot, with the help of which you can understand where the main allied forces will go. Napoleon shouts “follow me!” - and immediately several answers - “that’s right.” They're probably going out to pasture...

F6 - no way! The same as F5, but only the other half of the players do not want Napoleon as their emperor and categorically declare this, clicking “no way” several times.

F7 - help needed! In wot, almost all commands are pretty useless, but this one looks different. Look closely, and if someone needs help, it’s for good reason. This could be artillery twirled by a firefly or a tank that cannot defend an entire flank alone. You need to pay close attention to this team, because you always need to help, this is the key to team play.

Using chat in battle

Using combat wot chat necessary not only for whining and swearing at other players, as you thought. You can also write meaningless emoticons, give orders, or play Vanga and Nostradamus, saying in the general chat before the start of the battle: “Drain!!!” But what am I talking about, we’re talking seriously here... But seriously, the battle chat in wot game can and should be used. Ask the artillery for help, tell them where the enemy artillery tracer was coming from, warn about the planned exposure, ask your allies to destroy the light... As you can see, chat can also be used for good purposes. Of course, during a heated battle, the chat is filled with meaningless screams, but if you catch the moment, then your message will be seen. And not only will they see, but, perhaps, they will help or listen to wise advice. Using wot battle chat is recommended for everyone, but if you continue to clog the channel with junk, it will only get worse.
