I feel your pain. There are rounds where I can pop 2 or 3 guys, then there's rounds that I'm literally in my tank for < 10 seconds before I'm canned. What irritates me the most is getting 1-shotted by other tanks. Arty I can live with doing that to me. Then there are those players that seem to never miss, no matter what. Somehow I'm thinking there is some sort of hacking going on in the game. Call it a hunch.
I don't know, I kinda prefer to be one-shotted and move on to next battle then be brutally tortured with module damage... For example in a recent battle I was in my IS4 and start rolling out to meet enemies and BOOM, some King Tiger hits me taking out my engine- now I have half engine power moving at a snails pace. Then later a T44 hits me, takes out my loading rack - now I load as fast as artillery. I just wanted to quit. I wish I was blown up instead of bearing the module damage effects

Best part is when you use a repair kit to finally fix that stupid module and then an arty hits you and you go up in flames.

Interesting because I kind of like the module damage. I mean I prefer to make it out uninjured but its kind of enjoyable to me to keep getting hit, keep having shit go offline and keep on trudging on like some juggernaut that no matter what just wont give up.
But these shots have little to nothing to do with any actual skill in aiming for these hits he just gets lucky.
It wouldnt surprise me one bit if theres hacks of some type out. I mean I've had instances where that bush just right there is shooting at me but I never see anything. I've had instances where that bush waaaay over there tracks me when I'm running full speed perpendicular to it.
Sadly, if theres not hacks right now its probably only a matter of time until there is.
Hmmm...from what I have seen in game and what I have read on the WoT forums there is a pretty big effect of aiming. You are more likely to achieve certain effects aiming at certain areas of the tank.
Yes, this is true - however it's too arbitrary.
I can for example aim at someone tracks 10 times and only track them once. Then someone can fire at my tracks 10 times and track me all ten times.
However it gets more interesting with internal module damage. I can reference multiple instances where I was fired upon from the front of my tank and it ends up destroying my engine. I can see the bullet hole somewhere on my front plate and yet it managed to take my engine out.
Same goes with crew.
It's completely inconsistent. It's far too arbitrary for my tastes. Too much reliance on luck, and that lucky shot against you gives you a significant disadvantage for the rest of the battle.

I'm curious... why would there be a pre-order? It's a F2P game!

Has this launched yet? I need to badger someone if it has.
