Hi.
OK, so I am going to butter you up a little by saying that I LOVE World of Tanks. It is now
the end of August and I have not bought or played any other full-scale PC game this year!!
I am addicted, it is fair to say.
What keeps me coming back for more is that there is always something new to aim formodules, tanks, crew skills and more- and this lends itself to much frustration as well- all
part of an addiction I suppose.
I am progressing at my own pace up the tiers, stopping now at tier VII and buying tier V to
VII tanks during specials to keep my costs down. The 300,000 credits for 30 kills event has
really helped top up the pot, and I have purchased six, discounted tier VIIs this month
alone.
Thank you.
Of course, the game is not perfect, this is not because you don't try hard enough, but
because no-one is ever going to be completely happy with ideas and changes that you
implement.
I will use, as an example, the changes to artillery in 8.6. I had, up until this point, three
artillery pieces in regular use. Although I have played arty since, I get very little
enjoyment from it and have, more or less, stopped playing it all together. It is SO team
dependent now, for spotting and pinning down enemies long enough to damage/kill them
that it might be great in Clan battles, but very frustrating in random matches.
spread on many scout tanks. If I can scout in an AMX 13 90, in tier X, then why do I have
to scout in tier X in my AMX 13 75 or even my AMX 12 t?
Newbies do need to be better informed about the differences between scouts and other
light tanks and maybe some Tech Tree adjustments are required.
For example, as with many LT lines, the French LT line leads to tier IX and X medium
tanks. However, I only just re-familiarised myself with the USA tech tree last night,
noticing that the US LTs lead to HEAVIES. Now that is just weird.
I HATE players who play light tank lines that are closed off- such as the T-50 and T-50-2
lines used to be, as well as the Luchs and Leopard lines- but WILL NOT SCOUT, or just
suicide.
Giving scouts dedicated lines that lead nowhere else, or to tier X light tanks (with normal
tier spread) is the only sensible way forward that I can see.
Well, I hope that you consider my letter to be "constructive, polite and creative". This is
how I try to be on the forums, although my frustration at constant whining does stress my
patience sometimes.
Keep up the good work.

Now, I built up 109,000 XP to unlock the GW Panther. This took TIME. One of the most
precious things that we humans have- too precious to be playing computer games all of the
Dear Paul,
time!! Now, it takes much less than that to unlock the GW Panther even at a tier higher.
All of that extra XP could have gone on crew training, or- as some experienced- was left to Before we start, let me just say: If there’s an SPG buff, I’m going to the dark side and
be converted to Free XP at a REAL financial cost.
I’ll TK SPG’s.
It is no wonder that people do get frustrated with you.
I have held on to my three, elite arty in the hope that there will be a little buff- an
improvement in aim time is ALL I want- because I have invested time and money in these
SPGs.
So that is that for the general observation on what is possibly the only thing WRONG with
the game- constant changes, some of which are excessive.
So, to a suggestion.
I have found that as I have developed highly skilled crews, and started using equipment,
that I can hide away in bushes invisible to enemies that I am spotting half way across the
map.
Now, the problem is that I don't always know that it is ME that is doing the spotting. Only
when the game is over and I see that I have ????????????????????????????????????????$)???????$???????????????????????????()9???????????????????????%????????????????????????-?????????????????????)????????????????????????????????????????$????????????????e???????????)??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????)??????????%5
