Name and Shame: WTF is wrong with people?

Recommended Posts

I see that the K-153 is from RusTD battalion.

My experience when seeing those in pve Either they play really good or afk / disconnects / rush suicide and not respawning.

I have yet to understand this whole "rush" thing that some people are doing lately.

It's worse at higher tiers.  I'm at the point now where I either stop firing and go reposition elsewhere, or I pick on a different target that isn't actually engaging that individual.

The people trying to cap with 10 mins left on the clock and 3/4 of the enemy that hasn't spawned yet?

That is true, but somehow it had always happened, i had Raiding Party missions where i was driving to do the last undone secondary and people rushing to cap whit a lot of time left in the past as often as now, and to win a mission fast, even if delaying it can let kill some more bots is not completely wrong, as you can get in an other mission faster, so probably gain more in that mission killing more bots, but you gain more doing more missions, even without getting all the possible damage from each one in a gaming session. And it is even more true if a player does not get much damage as for him the main rewards are in completing the objectives and winning the mission, even if it is annoying for who usually get more damage, is using his first victory multiplier and maybe also boosts and insigna.

But possibly the rushing mentality is also related to the servers merge, i noticed that, mainly in the PvP modes, the Russian players was using a more aggressive style then the players of the EU server I was playing, so this attitude is also somehow true in PvE, it is much more frequent to see people that try to force the PvE missions rushing, pushing and attacking the bots very aggressively, with mixed results as you have to be a good player to do it and survive. Also the fact that now we can spawn 2 times on top of replenishing our health with the kit does not help as it promotes a very aggressive and potentially suicide way of playing instead of a more tactical sound one.

GLOPS and a TAGAN platoon show up with three Sphinxes. You better hope they are on the other side. They do alot of damage/spotting but cant be bothered to cap.

I was wondering why this moron in a T14 was sniping from spawn and basically did nothing all game, made sense once the game was over

(found him again hours later, and he's only firing atgms with the T-14...)

Thats truly frightening...

He's played glops for 1600 games?! At 10 mins a game that's 260 frigging hours. And if we assume that people are bad when they start, and then get better, how terrible must he have been to only now, have got his average UP TO 42%.

OK this is simply not possible... or I hope this is not humanly possible. I think someone must have botted this account up to where it had loads of high level tanks, and the human bought it. And he's probably a regular on my teams judging by the last 2 days.

Damn that's some serious L2P issues there :derpiseal: But I've seen plenty of people like him and somehow they don't loose any motivation by loosing all the time.

Probably the first thing he has to L2 is how to use the W key so he can move his tank out of the spawn point :snrk:

By the way AGTM in a T14 are an interesting, but very situational type of ammo, they are slower then HEAT and suffer from APS, but that tank, build to fight in the flat land, has not gun depression an bending the AGTM trajectory you can hit from a ridge while having your LFP under cover or in other situations when the gun depression is not enough. I used to carry few of them for that reason, but stopped doing it when the APS effect became much more effective, now that it has been toned down and there is the sting like a bee skill possibly it is a good idea to do it again (and also in PvE the bots don't use hard kill aps any more). 

Do someone of you actually use AGTMs on T14 or other mbts?

The only "viable" MBT ATGM's are the ones on the t62m because they are way better than your stock ammo and at that tier there's basically no APS's

With the T62M the missiles are more damaging then the AP rounds, but worst then the HEAT ones, so I don't see a so big difference compared to higher tier tanks if not for the reasons that is the only MBT at his tier with missiles and that at that tier there is no APS.

When I play it I usually load some missiles, as it lacks of gun depression like all the Russian tanks, but the bulk of my ammo is HEAT, more damaging and faster.

An other marginal advantage of the missiles, but also here it is somehow true for all the MBTs that can use them, is that there is no aiming time to wait, at the cost of having to guide the AGTM after firing it, and that are potentially very accurate, at least if you use a commander, retro and crew skill to make them so. Not like before APS was buffed, when you could use the medium tier MBTs with agtm to aim at weak spots with laser like accuracy, but still accurate if you don't fire against a target with a very effective APS. After the APS buff they become borderline to unusable, as against every APS they was impossible to guide, but now the APS buff has been toned down and it is possible to have them quite accurate again, even if they are no more laser like.

An other couple of screen shots from Glops and PvE games done yesterday.

Glops: Narrows, north side spawn, i take my sniping place, with MGM i can not really go to brawl near the cap points, and when i reach it who I find? A 490 player well hidden behind a tree ready to snipe

:gruelsealk:

After a while he decided to move from there and go to help the other MBTs near the cap, but he spent at least a couple of minutes there giving to the enemy a big advantage as he was the one with the better armor in our team.

ScreenShot0271.thumb.jpg.0384f983d04b427a50a79c55abea9183.jpg

then some PvE missions and look at this result.

ScreenShot0275.thumb.jpg.3d5d8c06064ce81b7e0e3fb9952595b2.jpg

The arty got destroyed almost immediately and did not respawn, the ADTU survived and did some passive spotting just because the tank was there, but probably the player was drinking some coffee instead of playing, as the tank never moved from its spawning position or did anything else, and i swear that he was not off line, no offline mark in the UI, he just went in queue then did something other to farm free XP and money without actually playing, but very careful to pick the right tank for it, the only tank that has the actual armor and hp to survive passively the first spawn as both the CATTB and 490, if he has them, are weak to Bradley missiles or have weak side armor.

So we had to play the mission in 3, with the only active MBT that has not the best armor to survive a focused fire on him, I was lucky to have the Crap Jeep, that can spot quite well and in situations like this also do some noticeable damage (while in a party with 2 good T15 can shot only on already dead tanks) and that the other 2 active players was good and able to adapt at the situation, almost always avoided to come too close to me ruining my Erin's camo bonus, was ready to use my spots and avoided suicide attitude recognizing that we had not the option to tank the bots but our only chance was to spot them one by one and slowly carve our way to the cap.

When I have games like this it is a mixed feeling, I am happy as the challenge is risen and we succeed anyway, and also when we don't succeed, but we try hard and play well by the way, but i feel also very disappointed to see players that are intentionally afk right from the beginning or that die in stupid ways (arty has bad camo, but can pop out smoke to gain the time to find some cover if in Cavalry the bots rushes in) without re spawning and doing nothing at all.

I don't like name & shame, but sometimes.........

 

So this morning on Desert Crossing, I was over helping cap the bridge during the first wave.  Sure, no problem but I took my beating and got killed after we capped it and made them pay for them trying to come and get it from us.  No big deal.

The cap points changed, so I changed my respawn point to the middle so I could go help out at 4 (southern point).  I spawn right in front of an K21-XC8 as he is moving and he runs right into the back of me and proceeds to shoot me multiple times (never mind the fact that I'm invulnerable while this is going on) and he goes and pisses off.

Why is it that a certain group of people are so self-destructive in any sort of PvP match?  Why in the #### are these people allowed to get away with the shear amount of stupid crap that they do and now that I've seen one thing now I can't unsee any of it.

Airstrikes on friendlies while they are capturing the point that we have control over in spades.  I just watched a Ramka-99 on the enemy team unload his into the back of a hull down 2A6 before our firing line got shots on him and he decided to piss off.

What the hell is going through their heads?  Too much lead in the water?

Stuff like that is why I do not want to play PVP at all.

The problem is that I need PvP to satisfy my competitive spirit.

Not to mention you get a ton of coin if you have a good match.

The thing that bothers me, OK it's one of many things, but we'll stick with this one for the moment.

Imagine in Glops, on Narrows:
Some A-hole wants to sabotage his team, for whatever reason - he decides to go to some remote corner of the map and hide,
deliberately taking no part in shooting tanks, taking cap points, or defending them.
vs.
Compare this with what happens when someone wanders off on Narrows, to the East of the map where there are no cap points.
far away from any tanks, and without posibility of taking or defending any caps.

IT'S THE F**KING SAME

Someone shoot these people please

That's why i refuse to play MBT on glops alone, you get other MBT teammates that do fuck all and never come close to a cap, it's rage inducing.

Readers of a nervous disposition may wish to look away, there may be swearing ahead...

I FEEL YOUR PAIN

At least you can actually hold a cap in an MBT, I have lost count of the amount of times I have gone somewhere, on Desert Crossing for example, in an MBT, taken my cap, and then looked at the map and found the rest of the team hasn't managed to do anything.

The red team has purposefully proceeded to the other circles, clearly marked on the ground, and taken them. I have done the same. The rest of my team... some are afk; some have disconnected, some have gone to random, empty areas of the map, perhaps searching for stray unicorns. The rest are either tabbed out to pornhub, or the few that are left,... the unlucky ones capable of actual thought are being outnumbered, and slaughtered, whilst screaming into the fucking wind, via the chatbox, like me - Trying to get the others to move, or help, or just briefly click W, and at least move towards an objective and soak up some damage for a few, miserable seconds, if they can bear to take their mouse-hand off their dick for that long.

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh.

What the fuck IS wrong with people.?

Really. FFS.

Found a "new" way of trolling.  Arty who did nothing but launch smoke at the enemy vehicles so we couldn't see them.

At least he didn't get any XP for it.

This beautiful soul has been pushing me into the Line of fire quite a bit. Was already on my ignore list, so guessing he did it before;

He ended up bottom on dmg, less then halve what the rest did each. Quite impressive. At least his name clearly states what to expect.
