So how many GOGgers here play World of Tanks? Either in PC or console. I also kinda active in World of Battleships but I felt the gameplay can be quite repetitive except for the gosh darned torpedo boats.

Right now my main tank is KV-1 (yeah typical) but I'm getting used to M4 Sherman as well. Still grinding T-34 because I have this stupid determination not to use the free experience to get mastery badge.

But at least it's not the M3 Lee, or I should call it "the Misery box" even DW2 (the disappointment) and AMX 20 (Le Quack) are more fun to grind with.

WoT player/masochist here. raises hand

Well hello there. What server are you playing? What's your current tank(s) you're grinding with?

I used to play WoT (got a E-100) but now play WoWS as hit it Tier 10 (Yamato) with that and working on more

I'm on EU server.

I tend of ragequit for weeks or months after a short time of playing every time I return to WoT. ;) I haven't been playing much recently. I'll probably focus on Polish line (I'm at 25TP) and French wheeled vehicles (have ELC) next.


I've got a couple of tier X, but I generally hate playing at that tier. Too much pressure, too competitive, too expensive.

I used to play it a lot, but ultimately quit because the game at its core is just an RNG roulette. The more I played, the more I could see how most battles were just decided by who got luckier with the RNG that match. +-25% on EVERYTHING is way too much and instead of continuing with the frustration I've had enough and quit.

Was pretty good too apparently, so it was not a ragequit or something like that. People kept admiring my stats pretty often at the start of the matches (I had no idea, then I finally looked it up and I was in the top Super-Unicum bracket).

You can still check my stats on any of the various World of Tanks stat sites if you want:
"CaiusMisus" on EU server. Ignore the small dip in performance at the end there. It was my attempt to come back after like 2 years of not playing and it went horribly.

I played World of Warships for a few rounds. All the different ships and the handling feeling is really nice. But the game overall does not really capture me; I think the last time I logged in I just admired the docked ship for a bit before logging off and playing something else. All these elements as they are put in an open world RPG where you can freely roam the ocean would be great; optional have an captain main character which could explore the ship (and maybe one or two harbor cities) he commands by foot would be the icing on the cake.

I played it since closed beta and stopped a few years back, the endless grind and pay to win strategies sucked the fun out of it for me.

To be fair, padding stats was relatively easy if you played good tanks (and certain types). My favorite one was the Aufklärungspanzer Panther (generally regarded as really bad) in which I played like double the number of my second most played tank. Then there were other influences like the crew and gold ammo.
Quit playing in early 2014 due to Wargaming.net screwing me out of the 1-year premium account right after I made the jump and bought one. Fk them.

So is this what happened to the Scorched 3D fanbase?

I was definitely padding stats in ARL 44. I played it a lot with full gold ammo. Not because of the increased penetration but because for some reason, the gold shell on that tank deals more damage (330) than the regular one (300).

My most played tank was M46 Patton. As view range is one of the few parameters not influenced by RNG, a skillful utilization of it can win battles. M46 has 410m base on tier 9. With the crew and equipment, I had nearly 500m. You are basically farming spotting damage just by existing.

My other favorite tank was IS-4. Because another thing not influenced by RNG is armor and how you use it. With proper angling, it could be a beast.

Yeah, gold ammo was generally regarded as pay2win. They eventually allowed it to be bought with standard currency, right? At least I remember stocking up on like ~5 shells for special situations and I certainly didn't pay cash for it.

Meh, all those lame Russian tanks (IS-3, IS-7, KV-1 etc) or the Bat-Chats which would maul my poor tier 7 (which was the highest one in the German line) scouting tank. I basically played German tanks exclusively. 7253/7266 battles were with them. Favorites were scouts and TDs, followed by medium tanks, followed by heavy tanks and those P&C SPGs.
The game used to be a lot of fun though, until I got screwed over. If there was a company releasing a new game like that today, I would jump into it (although my PC is seven years old at this point).

Also dabbled a bit in the World of Warplanes beta when that was around. It wasn't as interesting though.

Yes. I of course didn't spend a single cent on ammo. You left a lot sooner than I it seems. A lot has changed in that time.

IS-4 became a tier X for example and was generally considered one of the worst of them.

And yes, I do share your hatred of auto-loaders. I guess besides RNG, that was the other reason I left.

I had my moment for 2 or 3 months playing on PS4 some years ago, but past tier 5 the game become seriously Pay2Win for who values their time. I reached tier 7 mostly then gave up with the "gold" craze. On PC i played only a little bit with SPG's until tier 6.

It is a really fun experience on Console until tier 6 hits with meeting sick "premium" tier 8 in the matchmaking farming lower tiers and too lenghty upgrades for my taste. On PC it is different, too much FPSish for me and i did not enjoy it.
