The "OH MY GOD MY TEAM WENT FULL RETARD %@$%#^$@!" Megathread

[Tajidan]

i'm always checking in to this thread with a slight feeling of dread if i'm on one of those screenshots, someone look up my stats and tell me something about me.

i recently got my s-51 and have received a good amount of abuse to the point where i just afk my arty somewhere >.<
but yeah usually the people who are smacking the loudest are the people who died early and are blaming the team that they retarded their tank and then they stick around the whole match to toss "noob" or "uninstall tanks" around. the only times i stay in a game is when the outcome of the battle is undecided and sometimes its really nice but most of the time it induces terrible rage at which point i leave the game.

I guess the calculator just takes the complete spread of efficiencies attainable, and imposes some kind of a normal distribution on top of it, which results in the majority being "average", etc.

Heh. I know why I can never get mine higher.

I never scout, since I hate light tanks and am terrible at it.
I never cap when I can successfully kill enemy tanks.
I never defend, since I can kill enemy tanks BEFORE they get to the cap circle.

Yeah I've noticed that my efficiency doesn't go up much when I do tonnes of damage over time, but it jumps dramatically if I get a couple of Defender's medals. A pretty silly measurement but sadly all we have

My efficiency is 1138.19.
Im pretty sure if I played ~properly~ it would be higher, but I tend to just zoom around blat 1 or 2 guys and then die in a fire.

In this match, us retards actually won, but gawwwwwd.

This fucking team, I swear. Almost all of the kills that enemy Tiger made were when he was one of the last one or two people left on their team. He kept killing lemmings from behind a crevice that I couldn't figure out how to get a shot into, and eventually there was nobody left to report his position. It came down to me, the JP, and a Hetzer vs. him for the last few minutes of the match. We were all damaged to about 20% and the Tiger at around 60%. Somehow the Hetzer makes the Tiger leave his position, and in desperation I ran around the other side of the map to cap the base.

The match ended with the Tiger within 200m or so, probably just waiting for his gun to align on either me or the JP when we capped.

This match caused such a huge amount of rage from both teams.

Enable Battle Recording: _NO_

How big is the average battle recording anyway? Somehow I'm down to 20 Gb on this 300 Gb machine and I have NO idea how I filled all that space up. Initially I thought it WAS (partially) because of battle recordings being enabled, but nope.

Average battle is ~700kb, so a GB is worth about 1500 replays.

< 1mb per file
I have 3k replays that take up 1.36gb

For particularly long battles my replays usually go over a meg, otherwise exactly like Siri and chris said. Haven't noticed any impact on performance.

[Hel OWeen]

I don't know how it is these days, but when WG introduced replays, disabling recording also prevents you from replaying battles. This one drove me crazy back then ...

[Xiang Jiao]

My biggest annoyance is when people who've been popped early in the game stay for the whole duration and constantly bitch. If your team annoys you, why not just fuck off and play in another tank?

Typically, I focus on one tank and play it for a session, possibly switching to a second if things aren't looking too great, but more often than not I'll log off and hope for better teams later. The majority of players are absolutely terrible. Half the fun in this game is flaming the clueless masses, sending/receiving hate mail and getting slapped with chat bans. I stopped doing daily doubles a while ago when I realized you can get stuck on a tank and have a 10 game losing streak. Just like that your evening is ruined. It's much more appealing psychologically to play for high(er) probability winning steaks during off hours. I've been taking a long break from tanks, but I used to focus on Tuesday and Wednesday nights (Sundays too sometimes) on the NA server. Any of the other nights are worthless for trying to get anything meaningful going.
