What tanks “good” players play?

In the WoT forums I noticed some interesting link about winning ratios of players. The statistics are pretty old, and original page is in russian, but thank god for Google Translate. It seems that in the thread there are not only winning percentages of certain tanks, but player counts as well and statistics about vehicle drivers who have winning percentage over 55%. This indeed is interesting.

If we say that players with overall win% over 55% are good players, we get to conlusion about T9 mediums as follow:

  • T-54 had about 7.4% good players among all T-54 players
  • Pershing had about 17.5% good players among all Pershing players
  • Panther2 had about 13.8% good players among all Panther2 players

So indeed it seems that T-54 has not so much good players among then when compared to other T9 mediums. However, when we look winning stats and amount of good players among them:

World of tanks winning ratio and good players

T-54 is driven by clearly worst players (overall average), but however they have winning percent almost highest of T9 mediums Pershing being #1 but T-54 coming close. Panther2 drivers are overall better than T-54 drivers, but win% of P2 is clearly below other two. Same applies to Jagdtiger and GW Tiger.

Please note: Statistics are old, and intepreted thru Google Translate, so there might be some mistakes, even fundamental ones. And tanks are being adjusted as we speak, since 0.6.4 is going to rebalance tanks (Pershing getting more accuracy on the move and Panther2 getting its mantlet fixes and a decent stock gun).

Toolbox and repair times

Me and Juha686 has done research about toolbox in the past, we tested if toolbox was indeed as useful at it claims when you have 100% repair skill with all your crew. We even made a video about it:

The research showed that toolbox with 100% repair crew has only about 10% decrease in repair time.

However, we have been asked to test toolbox with recruit crew also, without any repair skills. We did one research today. Results can be seen in the Google Docs spreadsheet we created:

About map design and thing called camping

Text and pictures by JTS & Juha686

There has been lot of conversation about camping, and the way I see it camping exists only as much as the terrain encourages it (for example there are no camping problems in Ensk). In the case of WoT this means that certain areas strongly favor camping, and there isnt much you can do to it even if you want to (except to camp ofcourse). I´ve made several images that hopefully helps to illustrate what I mean.
