So I recently started playing World of Tanks PC. And I'm rather liking it because the play is a lot more professional and there are a lot less trolls. Also, bigger and more varied maps and more tanks to choose from. (And no crate events).

I'd like to reach out to all the Wotblitz players who play WOT as well - what do you do differently in WOT, than you would in Blitz?

Just wait 'til they start shooting you because you didn't let them get the killshot on a tank that you've already done 95% of the damage to. Or end-game when you get the last kill for your Ace/Top Gun/personal mission game and they kill you so that your crew gets zero experience and the "survival" bit of the PM makes it so that you don't get the secondary. Or top-tier green arty deciding to try to scrape the red bottom-tier light tank off of your heavy tank's side and hits you square in the turret. 

 

The main reason it seems less toxic is because the garage message button is kinda hidden and takes more than two seconds to find. Oh, and the green guys can't tell red where you are when you're 1v4 or 2v5 or the like anymore, thanks to no global chat.

 

You'll figure out how much arty loves you soon enough, regardless of what vehicle you're in. Full speed light tank? Prime target. Heavy behind a building? Prime target. Fully camouflaged TD knocks a single tree over? Arty. Arty fires and leaves a tracer? Arty on the arty.

 

I'll take having crates I don't buy anyways over shameless reskins and arty any day of the week, personally. Beautiful looking game now, though.

WoT pc - gold rounds are unnerfed, even type 5 heavies with premium rounds that just do more dmg without losing pen. 

 

Stupidly heavily armored tanks that REQUIRE you to fire premium rounds in order to kill (Chrysler K GF, Japanese heavies, etc)

 

+/- 2 mm - stock KV4 vs tier 10 heavies - T-34-85s vs T34 tier 8 heavy.

 

WAAAY more op premiums

The only things PC wins over mobile is Frontline, map size, HD graphics and sounds

Wotb is a polished WoT but without big maps.

I play console and enjoy the T67, but I’ve noticed that tier 8s like the IS6 cost 50$ worth of gold. They have deals in the shop with one tier 8 worth 50$ in gold. A lot more expensive.

WotB > Wot

What thatguy said.

If we ever got arty in Blitz I would quit, and I’ve already spent a [edited]ton of money on this game.

lol if you think they are more professional and level headed then you don't know anything yet.  

 

The basic difference is that the game is less fun.  You'll learn what I mean if you keep playing it.

[bobnnm]

Ok what is Arty?

 

[Fig_Bat_Digger_Nick]

Arty is as bad as you've heard.  It is one of the things that ruin the game, and combined with XVM it is pure poison and the reason people quit playing.  That and the way they don't even care about balance, like not at all.  It isn't Blitz - they don't constantly rebalance Tier X tanks to make them more or less even (or to try).  The Bobject is as OP and borked as the Ke Ni Otsu and they are giving it an insignificant nerf that doesn't matter.  Russian bias doesn't really exist in botes, it isn't much of a problem in this game, but it is completely real on PC and not only is it boring for the game...it's bad for the game.

 

It's just a terrible game.  It doesn't have to be, but they keep ruining it.

 

(also one of the people on their staff that they fired went into the game files and nerfed every German engine before he left.  That was years ago and they never fixed it)

[Fig_Bat_Digger_Nick]

I strongly recommend you not play the PC version.
