Now that I've finally solved my connection issues, and I'm able to play again, it's time to experiment with new strategies.

 

For today I'm going to be trying out this strat.

 

Do not move an inch until 30 secs have passed in the game.

 

I am a very impatient player, and I can't stand slow moving players or players who hang around at spawn. I will usually abandon such teams before they even know what's happening.

 

So for today at least, I'll be slowing myself down and bringing myself down to the same level as the average Blitz player. And let's face it, the average Blitz player is kind of slow, in more ways than one.

 

This way, I will not be abandoning any teams due to non movement in the beginning. I'll patiently sit around, wait until 30 secs, and then I will get busy, and whatever happens, happens. This same strat will apply to all matches, regardless of team or map.

 

See you on the battlefield maybe!

I like you on the forums but in game you expect too much.  Expect everybody to always suck, you'll feel better all the time.

That’s not a horrid strategy for newer players that don’t know the maps. For someone with your experience, it’s a waste of 30 seconds.

I don't disagree, but it'll only be for today, so no big deal.

 

At least I'll still be in the match and not leaving it before 30 secs have passed, due to the team.

So the strategy is to go afk. Funny I believe that is your strategy neigh every game.

No, I am just delaying my start time by 30 secs.

I bet it works better than you think. 20 seconds ,might be better. Let us know what your results are.

You're right. I've already played about 5 matches and 30 secs is just a tad too much, so I'll be adjusting the time to 20 secs, that should be slightly better.

Not a terrible strategy. 

I usually know within the first 30 seconds, if we will win, lose or have an even chance.

During that 20 seconds why not make a call? <<<<< or >>>>> or Up! or NOT TOWN! etc...

That just increases the odds that I will abandon the team, especially if I make a call, and the entire team does the complete opposite, like go town. Thats not that uncommon I have seen.

 

If I tell a bunch of people DO NOT GO TOWN!, and then 6 people go town, that tells me that I am dealing with a mentally deficient team, one that is not worthy of my time or effort and I will quickly move on to the next team, hopefully one that is at least comprised of normal human beings of an average intelligence. That is not asking for too much in my opinion.

[minitel_NA]

Might be a good strategy, depends on your tank.

 

if you do that on a random tank, my opinion is that it’s closer to trolling than it is to trying to win.

But I used to do that in the old and beloved T82 (RIP) and it was very enjoyable.

everyone is spotted and engaged, and I go behind and remove them one by one.

That got me a lot of raseinei.

So if you call 'Not Town!' and all 6 teammates go to town, then that's a mentally deficient team. How many teammates need to not go town to be considered a team comprised of normal human beings of average intelligence?? 

I'm asking because if i call dunes at Oasis Palms or up at Middleburg, etc. and get just 3 of the 6 to follow my call i consider that almost above average. If only 2 morons go town then that's almost a cause for celebration! lol

If the playerbase continue do deadbrain moves I will evolve in Madkilla...

Hey  OMK, What was the outcome of your new strategy test? I was thinking that your damage should be higher , Because you would be using your team as a meat shield and spotters. Please let us know the results. Just curious.

I didn't play that many matches last night, but even though I started later in the matches, I didn't use the team as meat shields and spotters, because that's just not my play style. It's very hard for me to hang in the back, I guess I'm just used to being up front in the middle of the action.

 

The team often ended up splitting up, so I would just choose a direction and head out in that direction. Based on me just observing the minimap, many of the matches were already over by the time 20 secs had passed, due to the splitting of the teams and I didn't bother to fire any shots in some of the matches.

 

On a few of the matches, even though I started 20 secs later, my tank managed to cross the entire map, before any other tanks did. When that happened, I parked my tank.

 

I didn't make any serious effort behind this strategy, but that's ok, because today I'll be making a completely different set of rules for me to play by.

Embrace your inner OMK. You just might find out that it feels good.

Does the strategy also involve moving the turret and firing? What if a ligth/médium went rigth to you while you waiy those 30/20 sec and start fireing at you? Will  you response or not?

[ARandomGenieGuy]

Pleas update us with your results after about 500-1k battles. Record your findings and make another post.

The strategy was just for one day and it's over already, but no, I wouldn't have done anything if a light went right up to me and started firing.

 

If I make rules, then I must abide by them.
