I just hit 120 total battles, not camo, no crew skills, no nothing. the map is fortress and I’m in a m5-Stuart. The first tank I happen upon is an iceclaw sitting perfectly broadside. I take my first shot of the 3 round clip, no red to be seen, nothing but black, no damage done. Adjust the aim slightly up and back and let the second shot go. Again nothing. Between the second and third shot the iceclaw begins to adjust so I waste no time driving around it putting a shot into the rear and getting out of the area. Again nothing. Before the battle ended I found two tanks I actually could damage. The tanks I could damage had reasonable battle counts the claw had over 35k.
In fact I haven’t been able to actually damage any tank over 20k battles (yes I am looking), it’s one of the reasons I’m doing this re-roll in the first place. One battle recently, out of the five tanks I shot at, I did zero damage. 24 shots, 21 hits (lots of modules hit) zero damage. All five tanks had in excess of 20k battles. Well aimed well placed shots, nothing. I will play a total of 100 games in this tank continuing to log who I can and cannot damage by battle count but right now it’s pretty conclusive. Battle count reflects the amount of crew skill. I should not be in battles against tanks I cannot damage. Let anyone play any tier they want but players with 100 battles against players with maxed out crew skills and tens of thousands of battles isn’t working.
I could be looking at it all backwards I suppose. Maybe I, with no crew skills, shouldnt be playing tier3. I should just stay in tiers one and two until I build up 20k battles or so in order to be competitive.
