Hi folks, I see emblems on my vehicles like oak leaves and diamonds, but don't know where to find the key to tell me what these mean... little help? 

Also, is there a place that shows how all users do on various tanks, say,  this one has a 50% vs 30%?  I'm having a heck of a time with my sherman m4, just staying in the game. I suppose that is realistic to the actual tank in WWII. It has paper armor and not much pen even with the larger gun. Wondering if this tech line is really worth pursuing.. the m4a3e2 seems to do a lot better in battles but I don't have one yet...

DIAMOND: Light Tank

 

TRIANGLE: Tank Destroyer

 

DIAMOND w/ 1 LINE: Medium Tank

 

DIAMOND w/ 2 LINES: Heavy Tank

 

Silver Leaves: "elite status" (You've fully researched this tank and have gained access to the next in the line)

 

Gold Leaves: "Premium"  (You paid gold for this tank)

Your stats here:  http://wotbstars.com/?usr=padre_shadowrider&geo=NA&lng=eng

[Posit1ve_]

Oak leaves = Elited vehicles. All modules and vehicle on the vehicle have been researched, and further accumulated XP can be converted to free XP with gold

Diamond = light tank

Diamond cut in 2 pieces = Medium tank

Diamond cut in 3 pieces = Heavy tank

Downward facing triangle = Tank destroyer

Gold symbol with oak leaves = Premium tank

You can see the averages for all tanks for all the users who have used the site to check their stats. They're skewed slightly high(especially for new lines, like the Grille 15 line) but they're a good ballpark estimate for the playerbase's average performance in a tank.

 

The American med tank line is not a good line for beginners. If you're new, Soviet tanks are the way to go.

Why is it that you play consistently in multiple tiers yet I've never been in a single random battle with you. One of these days I hope to see you on my team and we can climb the hill to victory - or - we can be on opposing teams and battle it out like the finale to The Ultimate Fighter Season 1. 

[Padre_ShadowRider]

thanks all  and hope to see you vikko    maybe it is time zone? 

 

Anyway,  my Cromwell has a checkmark in grey at the bottom of the picture in the garage... what is that ? 

I have over a 50% rating in some of my tanks...  and when the M4 is at the bottom of the list in a game... it is already in trouble :-)  Can't pen most of the heavies with any real damage, though I have the largest gun on it possible... 

 

 

[Padre_ShadowRider]

Also,   I wasn't looking for my stats, I know them... or for other player stats,,,  I was looking for an overall rating of how different tanks measure up for all users... for example, if the average win rate for an M4 is 30%  while the win rate for a Leopard is 60% , you might be able to assume that the Leop is a better overall tank.

So yeah I guess that's depends on the player style

They have feature to activate that (to see average player winrate in certain tanks)

You'll change your mind once you get to tier XIII. I promise.

Your Cromwell is checked because you double-clicked it in your garage making it a "preferred' or "go-to" tank. double click it again and the check mark disappears.

do you know if win rate is based upon team wins? or say you kill 3 but your team loses?

Russian Bias....

T-44 > Panther II

 

And then you get the "HEAT" 54 at tier IX - Then you get the Obj. 140/T62A Duo at X. They're monsters hull down and more maneuverable. But who doesn't like ramming other tanks in an E50M?

The battle you've won/the battle you've done = win rate

Win rate is based on your total wins divided by your total battles; averaged across all your tanks. If you lose, you lose. A draw is a loss for both teams.

I dunno tho if it's biased

 

 

People always said that t34 is a good tank

 

But 2 hit from my Pz IV then it turned into junk
