You still have to damage them if ya dont pierce their armor it's no good. I got in a battle tonight with a pz38 na. There was 1 tier 9 heavy, some heavies and TD tier VI to VIII(somthing like 8-12 of em) and some arty tier IV, V. I'm in a light tank tier IV. I know I got some higher tier equipement on it but I cannot even damage the bulk of the opponent with the 5cm. It's constantly like that. I dont mind dying in the game, but give me a fighting chance. The matchmaker IS, indeed, FUBAR. No question. It also seems to be worse in the prime time. early evening and morning it's much more fair. Or maybe it's based on how you do in your previous match. Give you a few battles in which you'll do good then dump you in the meat grinder. I dunno. Cannot figure it out for the life of me.
"Little Timmy, you see there is this invention called HE. It does damage with every single hit." I swear some of you slappies, whine about WOT, for the simple sake of whining. But the reason for your whining, is merely lack of knowledge.
Even in Beta I had Spikes laughing in my PIII, when I killed a Ferdy which was at 25%, with HE. I also got into the Luchs because of that battle.
