WTF, how did you know that I am watching Office at the moment? 😮 S05E16

wow nice games :) ooo boooy

Panki, you did a great job in the battles, thanks to your patience you're always there to clean up the mess left by bad players like myself. Congratulations on Pool's medal, friend. :-)

Judging by his nickname he's a Pole. It means terrible_wimp and his clan name as a slang word means p...s. The bottom line is this: for you winning is the absolute goal, for him - not: he's willing to risk it to farm other stats. And it wasn't like he's presenting it: that there was no risk of losing. I'd also cap in this situation. About him saying that XVM doesn't work with anonymizer enabled: I know it was true once and it still might be. But there are other (legal) mods showing player stats in battle that work in this scenario. But even without a mod you're safe in the assumption thet 80-90% of players of players on both teams are ~50% win rate or less.

nice job 👍😊

not a wot guy but watched the whole video and subbed 😉👍 keep the vids coming

Skill+luck=Kolobanov,simple.

Hi Panki - wot-record.com/replay/255235/washerdryer_cromwell_ace_radleys_live_oaks

Cromwell was really idiot.

Bolja nam je bila ona druga partija kada smo zajedno jedan pored drugog igrali

'promosm' 😢

luch?

eeee NO DERP GUN?`

zar jos neko to vozi

Stari Vuk,nisam ni sumnjao. ps. najsmešniji tenk u WoT-u

M3 Lee, so ugly it's pretty. ;-)

The road is straight cast Wind's in my eyes The engine roars between my thighs

Then we race together We can ride forever Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury Changing gear I pull you tighter to me

Па ваљда знаш шта си возио. :p Али са аутоматским мењачем, све је то џаба. "Press button - make car go."...

I almost got heart attack watching the end play, and sorry the Turtle was very late in game due to game crash :-(

2:42 I get that they chose to remove shell names like "SAP Mk. 1T" from in-batte tooltips - probably to not confuse beginners, that's ok, they don't have to pretend it's a historic game anymore ;-) but they could have left the caliber info, it's useful for overmatching and stuff.

Bolje da si izbacio od sinoć onu našu sa BT7

I agree completely with your observations. You're not alone in this. Very good players like you, who strive to win, notice that MM is doing something funky. Not being sure what it is was bugging me for years. My assumption was wrong: I thought that WG's objective is to make players happy by giving them fair i.e. truly random battles. What now understand is this: WG is really interested in player retention, meaning keeping as many players not leaving the game for as long as possible because more players playing for longer means more opportunities for purchases. And the surprising fact is that losing a few battles in a row can have a stronger positive effect on player retention than winning a few battles in a row. WG and other game companies know that once hooked players will chase that winning feeling even at the cost of losing a few times on the way. For example, after 3 wins in a row a player could have his winning need fulfilled and finish his session. But if the same player lost 3 times in a row and only then was given a chance to win, he would play at least 4 (1 more) battles in total making his habit stronger and him more likely to come back and maybe buy something. The way it could be done was described in the famous WG's patent: if the player does too well, put him in a harder battle so he's challenged and his experience more interesting. This is one way of describing the process, pretending it's done in the player's interest. But in reality, the player's good mood doesn't matter here - it's all about player retention: to keep him engaged no matter if he's happy or angry, what's important is him pressing that Battle button wanting more and launching the game in the future. In the industry, such MM algorithms are called Engagement Optimized Matchmaking. They are trained to create matches in a way that the maximum possible number of participants stay engaged i.e. play more, keep coming for more, and above all don't quit the game. Such an algorithm has access to player statistics and is using this to assess which player should have an easy or hard battle this time around to keep him engaged. If the algorithm thinks a given player should win to not risk him quitting the game, he's put on the good team. If the algorithm thinks that a given player is not at risk of quitting (because he plays a lot etc.) or that he needs to lose to not get bored, he's put on the bad team. There's more nuance to it but I think this type of thing is done in WoT. EOMM-type algorithms are at least 15% better at player retention than random MM. Earlier matchmakers were focusing on creating unbalanced teams by the choice of tanks, now it's also based on player skills. Also earlier it may have been done more subtly, nowadays they do it more blatantly. This is what I think is behind these extremely unbalanced matches: an EOMM algorithm of some type which WG updates and tunes periodically. This would explain the beginning of the weekend and the beginning of event matchmaking: MM algorithm thinks that weekend players need to win more to get them hooked on good feelings and let them progress to higher tiers that will make them think about buying premium, the side effect is that everyday players, that are unlikely to quit, are put on teams so bad so they are unlikely to prevent weekend players from winning. This is an extreme simplification of what's going just to illustrate. I think this is the reason why WG can never fix their MM - because it's working as intended.

D6,a uuu kakva pozicija za spot brate moj

Kako koji?Samo pogledaš u volan i sve ti je jasno.

Šteta što si imao lošiji tim.Samo nije ovaj destrojer za blajnd,malo granata ima.

Nice battle 🙂

12:40 I also was under the impression that KV-1SA's hull is bouncier frontally. Once you confirmed it, I checked it now and indeed it has a much stronger upper plate that will ricochet at a wider range of angles than the one KV-1 has. Interesting.

You didn't lie when you said you have patience. 🙂 Great battle & educational material.

So far I only heard about Onslaught from Reddit where 90% of the posts about it were judging it more or less negatively. This is the first time I've seen a whole battle in it. Won't play it, I'm fine with Randoms.

Panki, after some more thought and observation I now believe that MM is indeed rigged in the way that's described in the famous patient (US8425330B1): "when the player has been repeatedly put into too many easy battles, the balancing is done in favor of harder battle sessions, thereby keeping the player challenged instead of letting the player become bored with easy games". This is why you get winning and losing sessions roughly every other day. IMO WG does this balancing by selection of tier and teammates and by RNG bonus or penalty. They tweak the balancing methods from time to time. I was on the fence for a long time (didn't want to believe it) but the scales have finally fallen from my eyes, as they say. Now the question is, is there a way to game the algorithm to win more? Limiting the number of daily battles? Taking one day or longer breaks? Switching vehicles? Purposefully limiting performance by, for example, not chasing damage on clearly won battles?

2:03 Thanks for the reminder that even small differences in position can have a lot of impact. Often I'm getting sloppy, especially if tired or frustrated.

😊 Tank you bro 😊

Nice battle. Masterful use of bushes @ 5:06.

Just watched both new videos. Now I know that I've been doing wrong on Oyster Bay - I was spotting the middle, which is not that useful, turns out it's all about the west side. Thanks, Panki.

Great video, I learned some new things. Thanks!

Amazing to see how Elmo is becoming a ramming expert.
