After less then 300 games I cannot see the reason to play even daily win. Not sure what is causing this but overall it is probably the combination of slow gameplay, campy nature of game and stupid RNG mechanics. Too bad I was really looking forward to this game.

[BLOBS] Spellfire40 Beta Tester 5,330 posts 13,776 battles Report post #8 Posted August 20, 2016 Well i had 26k Games in WOT saw WoWS Beta and tryed it. Around that time Mapchanges in WoT like removing more and more conceilment turned the game more and more into a coridor shoter with no place for lightly armored tanks so WoWS was something refreshing new. You got to see changes and how the game develops and it does resonable fast in a resonable decent direction even if i dont like everything they do. Plus here i can avoid the error i made in WoT selling Taks i like to Progress up the line only to find out that high Tir tanks are not what i really enjoy. In WoWS atm at 92 Ships ,-) if i want to take out one of the older in most cases i can . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have played WOT a few times and still have some gold on it, but, I didn't find it as good as WOWS. It's not the game that's Bad, It's the player that plays it.

[HAVEN] Kashuken Players 720 posts 8,445 battles Report post #12 Posted August 20, 2016 I find WOT is a lot worse. Apart from dodgy spotting mechanics and gold ammo which is basically 'ignore armor button' arty is the cherry on the cake which annoys me, compared to WOWS CV players generally have to do stuff and us using the right ship can shoot down planes and annoy them but i cannot do that in WOT apart from hide behind something which arty cannot shoot over. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well its not like its enjoyable for atry too. Fully aimed shot 7 out of 10 you do minor splash or total miss 2 out of 10 you so standad He Amor migrate hit and 1 out of 10 you hit a tank moving at 70 kmh and blow him up.

BlueMoon51 Beta Tester 951 posts Report post #17 Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Looking at your profile I would make one suggestion an I'm sure you will appreciate this having played just a few more WOT games than me. Its very very hard to get a feel for the game playing almost totally one class and one nation. I personally started playing Warships with US Battleships and found in the end that really wasn't the best fit for me but I'm guessing that took nearly 1500 games(as indeed my choice of French tanks in WOT)!

BB rng is really nothing agist that crapy mecanics. Yea but even so splash can be enough to take out the tracks and some HP, for lower tier tanks not so much a problem because you can move around but even then the maps feel too small and if you are not angled or show anything but the front major damage can be caused and in higher tiered game that is alot of HP lost let alone getting OHK by arty happens alot more often than detonations. Arty does not even have to move, wait for a spot and aim and hit with CV they can move and will because planes can roam around the map and search for its own targets if needed. BB RNG is dispersion, detonation is kinda rare i find and angle and WASD around while not broadsiding is fine, arty ignore all that and go through the [edited]roof for a massive hit half the time, maybe it has changed since i last played but i doubt it.

TheCinC Quality Poster 1,695 posts 9,500 battles Report post #19 Posted August 20, 2016 I've played WoT, WoWP and WoWs and find myself enjoying WoWs a lot more than the other two, and certainly more than two other WoT competitors. In part, because I love the ships so much, I can only hope I'll be able to get to work once the RN BBs are here. Yes, there is certainly room for improvement, but in WoT, I often end up dying without having been able to accomplish much. In WoWs, with the proper ship, I can at least take one or more of the enemy with me, or cap stealthily, or both. This weekend is especially telling. More than half the time, I end up in the top five of my team, yet I've lost way more than half the battles. I am by no means a super unicum, but I think I am at least average or a bit above average. But I can't carry. I can tell people to support DDs, but they won't. I can tell BBs to not go off alone towards a spotted DD, but they will. I can ask the team to stay together, but they won't. Time after time, my team ends up split up, on other sides of the map, unable to support each other. Even if people are near each other, half of them are hiding behind an island. The game mechanics don't help, having to cap random areas makes no sense. There should be a mandatory Tactics 101 training, as well as a mandatory training for every class. People don't understand the rock-paper-scissors element of this game. People yell at DDs not capping, when there is no way to cap, due to enemy DDs and/or CV spotting and their cruisers protecting their DDs. Cruisers attack enemy BBs, failing to sink them, meanwhile ignoring the destroyer that sinks the BB that wanted to protect him, but was busy trying to take down the DD on its own. CVs often spot enemy ships, but don't hover their planes over them, so we can't shoot them before they become a threat. BBs sit in the back, often as far away from both enemies and allies, wondering why they have to fend off enemy DDs on their own. This is the basic flaw of online games: you throw random people together, who have no incentive to work together, no real understanding of why this is important. We also only have the most rudimentary of communication. When I want to warn for torps, I have to type a message, meaning I can't do anything else, or respond to being detected or attacked. When I want to indicate a target, I can't do so if it is out of range or sheltered by an island, and even when I can, quite often the wrong target is indicated on the map. I could go on. But in the end, I still like this game a whole lot more than WoT. In WoT, people also all play only for themselves, with team play more the exception than the rule. But on your own, you really don't stand a chance, in WoWs, you can make a difference, or die trying. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunerstile Players 196 posts 2,620 battles Report post #22 Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) As some ppl stated, I also was playing WoT before WoWs beta, and now when I compare it WoT seems more like a damn bloody Counter Strike!!! Gold ammo is everywhere, everyone is penetrating everyone there is no use of armor, no more bushes to hide and spot, speaking of which, spotting is still viable only on maybe something like 2 maps, rest are corridor maps (which is not bad, but in limited amounts) or ugly frankenstein abominations like hybrid open area-city maps (but in reality it only picked the worst of both types). Death falling from the skies (bloody artillery) is one of the biggest problems of the game which devs. are refusing to address and on and on the list of problems goes.... TL;DR: WoWs are simply better game, whether you want to admit it or not. Edited August 20, 2016 by Gunerstile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SinkTheOthersNotMe Players 440 posts 5,824 battles Report post #23 Posted August 20, 2016 personally I like the slower game play that wows has and the tactical way you play I find better than wot I think it Is harder to yolo in wows than wot and get away with it and because of this wot players seem to struggle as they are not used to playing as a "team" Slower, yeah sometimes but I can guarantee your heart will beat faster if you try to pass between 3 Nassau in your DD to torp them and save the win for your team. Yolo: Well, seeing everyday some players, including some BB, going through the middle channel on two brothers -> yolo at its best. I seldom see teamplay (except when playing in divisions with my mates) in WOWS or at least not more than in WOT, but IME the major difference between WOT and WOWS -> I can be bottom tier in WOWS and still help my team or even win the game for the team (example my farragut being bottom tier) while in WOT try to be a LT bottom tier -> even with all the gold in the world you will not change anything.

mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #24 Posted August 20, 2016 Depends on the map, if you get a suitable map low tier light tank can win the game by spotting in the right place. Granted, it's not a very engaging way to play but it can be really effective. I think the highest amount of spotting damage I ever had was in my Chinese tier 6 light tank and I sat still for 80% of that match with bino's up in bush and the enemy couldn't flush me out.
