Woooooooooow. That's what happens when you don't screen reports well I guess? Damn that sucks lmao

Ya.. Also you onehit alot of heavies in big arties since you penetrate pretty often in their sides, whereas the south arties only can hit the front of tanks. It's a really bad map, in all gamemodes, every single time.
Yeah I hit that map for the first time last night. Definitely new coming from a beta player. Don't like it. Feels like it belongs in a Battlefield game, not WoT. Something about it.
I wish you could narrow down the map selection somehow. There are maps I find way more fun when I'm in the mood to play light (esp. low tier) and there's others I find more fun when I'm in the mood for a strategic, long-ranged game. And if I get either of the other when I'm NOT ready for it, it's frustrating.
Not implying I'd select maps based on the tank I'm playing, to clarify. More of just what I'm in the mood for on any given day lol.

Iirc, if you play in platoon, you can exclude maps for certain gamemodes, something like that? Not 100% sure how it worked, but you can exclude maps somehow.
Would be nice to do that even if you play alone. Malinovka is fine, except in that mode. El Halluf is awul, worst map imo. My favorites are the town maps.

Since i play a good amount of arty, Ruinberg is my nemesis. :D
I actually like El Halluf, especially in an arty or my E-75. Its over fast most of the times, that's a good thing. ^^
you can only turn off encounter and assault mode in the settings. it would be nice if we could veto a couple of maps, fuck playing malinovka redshire elhalluf sandriver with heavies or himmelsdorf with arties. developers said they are thinking about it, probably we will get one veto sometime but its not a priority so not this year probably.

there is no known maphack that would do that. yes, ppl do blind shots, did you shoot? with arty you have to move after every shot because the enemy can see your trace

OK, so no smoke from the cannon but the bullet itself. Makes sense. Guess he was lucky that he looked at that spot(normally, no one is ever there). Thank you.

If you shot more than once, he can actually "track you down" on your tracers. Blind shot in this case is not neccessarily a "guessing shot" but just a shot without vision.
Happens quite often, especially against arty. In beta that was a meta game, playing "counter-arty". Hunting down tracers and not getting killed yourself. ^^
Edit: i'm fairly sure that there are no real cheats. Bots and Hitboxskins, yes - but no maphacks or something like that. At least it does not feel like it, never had the vibe that someone was cheating that way.

You are almost right - you can exclude only gamemodes, but not the maps, unfortunately. There is an option in the Settings menu - works for solo and for platoons, if you are the leader.

Okay, my mistake - never used that feature so i misunderstood it. Too bad. :<
I am now sitting in my T34 and am overwhelmed by joy and constant pain :D As far as i understand it, i should never go into a heads-on fight with Tier 5 tanks, as i am not gonna win them. So, staying behind the main line and damaging everything is the best choice. I am bad at this, but i will learn. But how am i playing on maps like Mountain pass or Ensk? When there are only small choke points?
