SO tired of getting 1 shot

[KimiF17954]

Legit getting fed-up of getting 1 shot all the time and getting nothing when i do it. I just started but it's hardly fun dieing before i can even do anything.

If you have a problem with dying in one hit, this is not the game for you and you might as well get out now.

It's a good game. But it's not a game where you can have an expectation of requiring multiple hits to kill.

it's a bad game, and most of the time you will die due to some strange bug that was reported 5 years ago

I`m sorry but what part of this seems unreasonable? if you just started out I assume you are at most in tier 2 so with tanks found there are either gonna be pre-war or early war models which are lightly armoured and cramped, now let me ask you, if a shell going mach 2.5 weighing ~ 6 kilos hits a FLAT 50mm plate from 200 metres then why are you surprised? not only is the HE filler (if the tank`s round that penetrates you uses APHE ammo) but the shrapnel from said round and your armour plate are going to obliterate your crew who are basically sitting on-top of one another.This is realism. Mathematics does not lie, if a shell is going through your armour, it is, if it bounces or doesn`t, it cant, simple as. Survivability gets better as the ranks progress, naturally nations observed this during the war and after and made phenomenal tanks such as the KV-1 for the Soviets and the Panther for the Germans albeit not invincible. Use the armour protection analysis and observe at which angles your armour makes a difference. the tiger can be penetrated from the front my a M3 gun mounted on the 3.3 Sherman yet even if that tiger angles 30 degrees, the 76 and 85mm guns are going to have a hard time getting through you. This is the learning process and what separates a good player from a bad one, playing to the strengths of your vehicle.

just switch to wargaming. if youve just started, you should know that this game is riddled with bugs, lying devs and to the brim with P2W. go for wargaming WOWS, it's pretty great

Just a loose cannon aren't you..........time to increase the meds!!!

Just replace all of your armor with ammo racks.

Whenever I pen a tank, the ammo soaks up all of the damage and the crew takes none.

Agreed, just wish that other company would improve its vehicle graphics. Even with their new and improved HD textures, it feels like a big step back.

I agree with others who suggest if you don't have much invested, you ought to jump ship on Gaijin. They're a dirty company and people like me who waited for years thinking they were serious about fixing problems were rewarded with bullying and bans for pointing out nothing was being fixed. That said, if you do stick with it, bump your crew health first, especially if you're playing planes. On ground forces, learn how to angle your armor, that will help unless you're up against a vehicle that has so much gun it doesn't care about your armor (which happens a lot unfortunately). And work on being exposed to only one enemy at a time. If you pull that off and manage to shoot them before they shoot you, there's a good chance they won't be able to shoot back due to damage/crew knockout. And lastly, some vehicles are straight up better than others. Stick with those until you get good enough you can skill your way around with the less-than vehicles. That's my advice, at any rate.

Appreciated, i'll keep at it but it just gets frustrating

Most BS Gaijin did was introducing "modules" - it's so fun to get set on fire on brand new tanks or ships...

such as?

- Shells flying into a wormhole without doing damage
- A strange shot makes a single shrapnell pinballing through the entire tank
- Getting shot through walls / buildings
- T-34 don't catch fire when hitting fuel tanks

That's what I can say without looking in my Feedback posts from the closed Beta and comparing it with the current game

The difference is that WOWS isn't a nutshell melee game XD

-shells not doing damage is a connection error
-this is the first I heard of shrapnel actually behaving like shrapnel like that
-I actually did get shot through someone clipping their turret through a building recently
- none of the fuel tanks consistently catch fire. If anything Russian and Japanese tanks should be less likely to catch fire from a fuel hit because they use diesel, which isn't anywhere as volatile as gasoline.

i mean i'm so bad i can go a whole game with no kills and if i'm lucky 1 hit, i just spawn get into a position and get 1 shotted, lovely.

Best tip I can give you if your starting out is not to go in first, follow others and back them up, cover flanks etc. Do this until you start to remember the maps and usual places enemies advance or camp. If you're playing realistic then use your Binos a lot! They are still useful in arcade if your crew spotting skills are not up to par.
