@Rikitikitave4 years ago I think to be fair to you, you have been playing this game a long time. It' s only understandable that you' re struggling to deal with a change to personally i have had to completely change the way i play certain maps. As an example going to the village in the valley is a popular place for lights on el halluf, i don' t go there now. Platooning would be another good way to make the adjustment. If you die you can then hopefully spectate and talk to players that aren' t, learn a few new things. That' s what i' ve found has helped me the most. ...Expand 6

@charleslongmire68384 years ago Love your videos retro! I am in your 7 clan. Havent really played much since last christmas, but i jumped back in because of the 30% off tier xs. Tho id="hidden6"ught i could grind up to the chieftain (which i did) i am really a below average player, but enjoy the game. This week has been worse than normal. I thought it was just me. I get overrun a lot more. No one there to assist. After watching this video, i dont feel so badly. This morning, i quit in frustration. I have no answers, but you are not alone in feeling things have changed somewhere. Think i might take another extended break. ...Expand 2

@genekelley75794 years ago Hang in there retro.
there is a lot of heat spamming going on in the game right now, and armor really isnt holding up.
*play more p id="hidden12"atient.
hold your starting position a bit longer than you normally did.
*learn the spawn locations have changed.
old spots on the map arent working anymore.
*play mobile. The rule of 1/2)
loose 1/2 your health on one flank of the map, retreat to the otherif its not working now, its only going to get worse if you stay in the same location.
*play support roles. Dont always be the tip of the spear all the time. Follow team-mates and play to their strengths as well.
*play to your tanks advantages.
dont follow lemming trains if your tank is not great at the location the team his heading in. Dont get led astray.
*quick shots, with fast aim times or snap shots more often, than you have in the past.
*think about your equipment load outs. Do you need a better gun, or better camo factor, to a tank that is under performing?
try changing things around, and look at how each equipment modules effect your tank specifically.
*dont go to the well too often.
dont keep firing from the same positions move more and often than you have in the past, even if its a little bit.
*expect the blind shots more often than not.
happy and focused.
flying controllers break (believe me i know) its only a game. Treat as such

@crow72914 years ago Great video jules! I think that you are doing nothing wrong. Basically i think what is happening is a whole lot of over excitement. X play has brou id="hidden22"ght out the yoloers from both platforms. Its brought out the we are better players. And the i' m not helping you' re not on my console even if you are on my team. Its brought out the charge in and kill the x box player or the ps4 player! Tactics and thought have taken a bit of a back seat. It will settle down.
once it becomes normal, and old news, play will become more normal.

@chuckgraham16954 years ago I had to stop playing couple weeks ago, it was just horrible. I waited till the cross play came in and stayed with it for a few weeks to see how things the wrestling theme sucks, my 6 year old grand daughter could have come up with better in less time, i also refuse to have to purchase the season ticket for something we were getting free. Play, grind, buy premium, it was free. Now war gaming just wants to suck all the money out of it' s dying game as fast as it can.
the player base as a whole is trash, most of the good players have stopped playing, now you wind up with tomatoes that sit in the open to shoot, have no idea how to use/angle their tanks, nor what their tanks are for. I see suicide scouting from lights every game, these idiot players just do not understand how important lights are near the end of the game, but hey, what you gonna do?
matchmaking still sucks, i do not care how balanced tier x is, a tier xii is out-manned, armored, and gunned. There is no way you can make them even close, they are made to be balanced withing their tier.
artillery, i' ve gotten more since ps4 players came on board, most games with 3 per team. Artillery has not done anything about camping as war gaming claimed, hell, they cannot even see campers. What they do is restrict players that are engaging and trying to play. These were just put in to speed up the game, to make players play more games, spend more credits, and have to purchase more gold. Get rid of this line, it' s worse for the game.
