PC is a disaster even the CC's are complaining.
There are Soviet TDs as an example, that have been buffed so much, that even a higher tier tank firing gold can't find a frontal weak spot, not a cupola, not a lower plate, nothing.
They can hug a border and/or a corridor etc, where you can't flank them...
BTW stat snob, my PC stats have been steadily climbing, overal numbers are still low, but I'm doing much better.
The balance is horrible in PC, much worse than Blitz.
Also, I've had a few veteran players tell me that -2 didn't used to be so bad, that PC used to be more like Pixel ships, where a minus 2 player had to be cautious but could still do damage.
They're the ones, plus QB and others that have explained about buffed cupolas, turret cheeks etc, plus a buggered match maker, that have made it miserable for anyone not at tier X.
What it is, is the morons at tiers IX and X want to be invincible, but in the long run it will hurt WG.
Not every veteran player is a moron, some have admitted that the game is really stinky for lower tier players, do to the MM, buffs to tiny weak spots and the way the crew skill system is setup, it takes forever for a new player to get a decent crew or two to have fun with, and that is using boosters and premium time and golding XP off of premium and elited tanks, it's setup to greatly favor people with multi skill crews that have been playing for ages.
I have a defender and the win and hit rate has gone up a lot, since the Halloween event let me make tons of XP and get my crew up to at least 3 skills, commander at 4. It makes a huge difference in mobility, shooting and view range from a simple 100% crew.
