I suck at this game any tips?

[uptothewolves]

despite having few hundred hours, I still suck.

I am stuck at the battle rating of 5, I simply cannot win matches and get very low rewards which makes researching for a single tank take months.

I always lose, but I don't know what to do. My rounds seem to be ineffective all the time though the enemy always 1-2 shots me.

Yes, I am crying at the moment. How to improve?

heavy tank killer hang In there 55 hours is not enough try 3035 hours you don't need that many but the game Is a blast to become real good you need to put more hours In learn how to kill the tanks first kill the gunner and finish off the tank.You need at least 400 to 700 hours to feel at ease.How to ambush people on maps know the maps and stay behind cover and then pop out and shoot gunner. ,GET the first shot In is really important most people have at least 700 to 1500 hours . Have to know what your tank can do . You don't even need to think about it. Everything comes with practice. Best of luck to you I hope you have a good mouse with at least 3 dpi setting and a good pad It does help. There are tons of settings that can improve the time punching keys quicker. There are a lot of things to learn watch videos AND watch replays they can tell you a lot..... sneakydave0244 hope to see you In RP games I play 7.7 American.....good luck to you....

It’s alright to rage sometimes, although just try your best not to let the game get into your head. Also, if you tell us what tank you are currently using, then maybe we will have some tips for you.

I am using the PZ IV with skirts, currently researching a tiger. Alongside of PZ IV I either deploy the AA tanks (Ostwind) and sometimes the StuG
I am somewhat better at planes compared to tanks, I am going for jet in SU tree. (Around 6)
I never tried navy. I still have the reserve ships

Are you using the Panzer IV H or the J variant? The J variant is a nightmare because of its insanely slow turret traverse speed. The Panzer IV has a good gun but it has terrible armor, something that can be exploited in close quarters. Since it fits the description of a glass cannon, it would be better off sniping enemies. You should probably never replace APHE with APCR because of its ineffectiveness against slopes and its poor post penetration damage. One thing the APCR is good for is penetrating tanks that your default shell can’t penetrate. You should angle the Panzer IV to try and make its armor a bit more effective. I don’t use planes, ships, and SPAA at all so I don’t have any tips for them. I’m an arcade player so things might be different in realistic.

I use Panzer IV H.

[Slyke]

That's an incredibly broad request for a game with that much depth and complexity. There's no way anyone will be able to tell you anything of use like that. It would be faster and more effective to just search for guides (or to watch experienced players on YT / Twitch) if you don't have any specific questions.

The only thing I can tell you from the information given is that you should consider dropping German ground forces if you play (or intend to) realistic battles. German teams on the ground are full of newbies and extremely poor players, there's no need to add more.

The Panzer IV H is the second best Panzer IV imo. You should ignore the J variant if you have the chance to research it unless it is required. It’s not a good tank to brawl with because of its lackluster armor and it’s skirts won’t save you from much. It can kill T-34s and KV-1s easily but if you get uptiered, it will be more challenging.

explore protection analysis atleast to get a clue on where, when and not to shoot and range...

[Tirit]

Learning the maps is a good way to understand where the enemy can come from or a good location to hold down. Still i dont play much German so i cant tell you what is a good German stragedy... However i wish you good luck :)

What mode are you playing?

In RB, patience is the key. Use your binos, stay in cover and scout out all areas before moving to them. Use your map and look where friendlies are, and where spotted enemies are.

The Panzer IV series from F2 onwards have amazing guns. Use the stock APCBC rounds and snipe, your armour isn't strong enough to brawl. If you're having trouble penning certain tanks, preview them and use the armour viewer to find their weakspots.

It completely depends on the vehicle. If you're having trouble using a vehicle, right click on the vehicle, press information, and briefly read through the information and you should find;

1.) Pros and Cons
2.) Best ways to angle your tank for maximum armor effectiveness (At least for the tiger)
3.) Environments the vehicle excels in

Also, try to take note of where you, as a play excel in, I have found I excel in Urban areas with the Tiger II series, and that's where I get most of my killstreaks until some Korean War BMP1 decides to snipe me with an ATGM

You got this!

Git gud.

No, really.

I play this game on and off, every 1-2 weeks, and when I come back, I am always amazed that I, the expert, veteran fighter guy, gets owned the first few games.

Then I remember / re-learn the lessons, learn to fly all other again, remember the performances of various airplane models....

When you start, you WILL lose to players because a lot of peeps have 3000+ hours on this.
Whether airplane, tank or ship.
