You suck, you need to get steel wall award with a light tank!

what's it like at the higher tiers? i kinda enjoy driving around my ms-1 along with the other clueless players that drive circles or just charge blindly into ambushes. bt-2 is fun too, esp if you get matched up with a bunch of starting tanks instead of the other format where you have to watch out for spgs and every other tank has more hp than you. i did a bit of spg driving too but found i cant consistently get as much experience as i would with bt-2 cuz my tier3 spg gets matched up with hvy tanks and barely take any damage from direct hits. wonder if its even worth it to level up to other tanks, is there a new dimension to the game or is just every thing scaled up, ie. everything has more hp, they do more damage, move faster, etc.

oh yea, just found how out to look at my stats... here they are.. i dont know how to interpret them yet but as far as i can tell im just winning as much as im losing...

From what I can gather it's just scaled up, except it costs more to maintain the higher tier tanks than the lower tiers so you can't afford to only play like tier 8/9 without grinding lower tiers for $$. The quality of players is obviously better on average too.

From reading the forums, tiers 5-6 are the most fun for most people.

I kind of stopped playing due to frustration with the inane mechanics and overt Soviet bias in the balancing, but I'll be playing again some this week most likely.

The very fact that the higher tiers have in general better players makes a huge difference. Other than that one of the most prominent differences is with ALL tanks you can't just shoot at it anywhere you want and penetrate -- every tank has slopes and every tank will bounce shots. When you do get hit in say a medium tank since you have more health it might not necessarily be a problem because they might only take off a few hitpoints etc.

Plain and simple, higher tier games require more tactics.

Like I said, WoT is a passing fancy.

I'm pretty much over it already.
