Unfair Teams?

Subject: Unfair Teams? Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:04 am

Wondering:

Most of the time, I can tell how a team moves out(think cockroaches when you turn on a light) , the battle formation(leaving big holes for opfor to push through), and advancement(stalls out and gets taken out by artillery, like being stuck middle tower in AA2 with a sniper taking them all out), on whether or not we will win or loose a round.

But, in the beginning of some rounds, players complain or celebrate having the advantage.

Is there such a thing? I thought the game matrix made the teams for them to be evenly match. And it all had to do with teamwork. scratch

And if their is an advantage, does anyone here, recognize it?

I don't know about any advantage but when i see certain tanks in the list
like T-28's, M3 Lee's and Crusaders etc., i see scrap metal before the round even starts.
Depending on the tank types, i adjust my gameplay accordingly.
But i guess Mike will know more about that?!

what they are talking about rilla is a side program that will show you the other teams stats at a glance. i forget what the program is called but it shows everyone's stats and then shows you the one team will have say like a 20% better chance of winning based on the player stats of that team. One thing i have noticed though is that this program is a crock of shit. it really doesn't give an accurate percentage rate because it doesnt take into account that player X has badass stats because he plays with his clan most of the time. The advantage is cut when he enters a pub match without his clan mates. But a lot of dumbasses think this program is the be all and end all to tell them they will win. Thats why you see people saying they have the advantage or disadvantage at the start of the round

I have taken out a few 1,000 pt "Coffee Cans" with one shot. I am too noob to pick out the ones that are, until they are lit up like the 4th of July. Razz

Thx Hippie, for the insight.

I just started playing and find the teams are unfair but depends how many are in cue.When I'm at the bottom of the list with the crappiest tank against tanks that I cannot damage I scout and run for artillery and try for a flank or rear shot. On the other hand sometimes I'm at the top and dominate the game killing everything I see. I think it works out overall. I just started this game its the best thing since AA2 and its free. Can't wait for world of warships.

Like 14 days ago i played my PzKpfw III/IV (low on the list) on Fisherman's Bay,
two minutes into the round a VK 3601 (H) shows up in the middle of the map flashing his left side to me.
A single shell from my 7,5cm into his side and *poof*... lucky to hit and penetrate the ammo storage!

if you hit the side of the turret in most tanks, there is a good chance you can get an ammo rack shot. I wasted a Lowe that was at 100% health with a shot from my 90mm gun in my T25/2 TD. It felt gooooood to one shot a fuckin Lowe. Ammo rack shots run a high chance of the ammo blowing up a killing the tank instantly.
