World of Tank Legends. Myths and legends World of Tanks. The players of the allied team are to blame for the drain
1. There is a possibility of cheating in World of Tanks.
This is one of the most common and stupid misconceptions about WoT. Many "tankers" still dream of one day getting some kind of magical "skins", by installing which they supposedly will be able to destroy enemy tanks with one shot, killing the crew, setting fire to the engine or undermining the ammunition rack. But instead of "magic chests", these dreamers download hacker programs from the Internet that crack their password and steal their account (which, by that time, as a rule, has already been leveled up to the fourth level). After that, the guys return to the game extremely angry.
And in fact...
Why do they think this is possible? Yes, because they encountered such situations in the game. It happens more than once that your ammo rack is blown up or the crew is killed. Or you see how someone nearby does this to the enemy. So the legends about the "skins" that allow all this begin to circulate. But everything is deciphered a little more prosaically. It's just that a player who has pumped the "Expert" skill on at least one of his tanks began to see damage on enemy vehicles - including the ammunition rack. Having remembered where it was located on which models of tanks, the next time he aimed precisely at this place. Sometimes it worked. The same goes for the crew. We know perfectly well that in order to bring down a caterpillar, it is not at all necessary to have x-ray vision. It is enough just to shoot at the caterpillar.
2. The players of the allied team are to blame for the drain
What kind of curses, what many derivatives of swear words you will not see in the team chat, when it becomes obvious that the seams and the game can no longer be saved by any effort! "Goat-rat-crayfish-deer-roosters" are still the kindest animals that can be found in the world of tanks. But is the team itself always to blame for the fact that the team can do almost nothing?
Of course, this is not true. You have probably come across situations of this kind more than once: you are driving calmly somewhere on the sidelines, and suddenly the “Sixth Sense” light comes on. But you don't see anyone! They start shooting at you from all sides and kill you in a few seconds. What's the matter?
Yes, you just came across an enemy tank, whose eyesight is better than yours. Your car has a stereo tube and enlightened optics, and "Eagle's Eye" is 50% pumped, and he has a pipe, optics, but "Vzor" is 100% pumped! Or at least 70. Moreover, there is a 50 percent "Radio Interception". This seemingly small advantage is enough to light up your tank, while remaining invisible yourself. Well, since you are already exposed, everyone who allows this to make a review starts shooting at you. And that's it, my friend, they've arrived.
The same thing happens when you sit in an ambush on a tank destroyer somewhere on the outskirts - and you are surprised to see how gradually the allied tanks are getting smaller and smaller, although there is not even a single highlighted enemy on the map. These guys may not even have a light bulb, they don’t have time to understand that they are illuminated. But they are illuminated. And they cover.
Another reason for the devastating defeat may be the presence of bots or AFK tanks in the team (I think no one needs to explain what it is). The worst thing is that there can be several of them in the team - for example, I happened to be in a battle in which two obvious bots took part on our side, and another tank stood motionless throughout the battle. Sometimes even such fights can be pulled out - but more often they remain lost. For the reason that those, albeit even tiny roles that these few tanks were supposed to play, remain unplayed. But if this LT gave good light, how could it, if it weren’t a bot - and that TT over there only fired a couple of shots, preventing the enemy tank destroyer from getting out from behind the mountain and finishing off our main damage dealer - here in this it could have been completely different...
Unfortunately, most players do not notice such things. "Arta, goat-rat-rooster, shoot, why are you standing there?!" - they squeal, not even thinking about the fact that the owner of this art darted into the hangar at the very beginning of the battle, because he just pumps it on the machine, and he is not at all interested in playing for some shabby "Bison" - he is better at " Hetzer" will show off.
3. The efficiency of the player shows his real skill
Measuring efficiency is one of the favorite entertainments in team chat. Scold someone for the wrong combination - and you get the answer: look at yourself, efficiency 700! What is most interesting - these cries continue and will continue until your efficiency grows to 1500. I had an efficiency of 400 - they poked these 400 in the nose. Now it has grown to 750 - so what do you think, they poke 750 in the nose Meanwhile, by the tag world of tanks you will find screenshots on the blog, indicating that the author of these lines is far from cancer. It’s as if they themselves don’t know that this parameter goes up after about every hundred battles. If you play more or less decently, of course. That is - the more you destroy, damage, discover and capture (well, and everything else, for which gaming experience) - the higher your efficiency becomes. Kustodrots, playing on the principle of "just to survive", of course, this does not shine.
The same can be said about the statistics of wins/losses, because, as you can see from the very process of the game, it’s something, but you don’t make these statistics for yourself. In some battles, I took a "warrior", stuffed 3500 damage, to the last held back the onslaught of the enemy in important positions ... but the rest of the team did everything possible to reduce my efforts to zero. Perhaps this happened for the reasons described above - it does not matter. The important thing is that no matter how great you are at the rudders, and taking out the entire enemy team alone is the rarest luck. In one battle, you survived, left one against three and became twice the hero of the battle - and in the next, you merged first, finding yourself in the light in front of a mountain covered with enemy tanks, half of which you can’t see. And it's just a game, ladies and gentlemen.
So don't be nervous.
Update: as it became clear from the comments, the skins still exist. Probably, the rumor about their potential danger is being spread by the development team in order to maintain the spirit of fair play.

Good afternoon, readers of the portal site, it's me, Ronnie456. I bring to your attention an article on the topic: Legends of World of Tanks. Tank breakthrough. Today we will talk about the legends of tank building, embodied in WOT, not without a bit of reliability. The article considered not just good tanks, but the most legends, the age of glory of which is eternal. So, let's start, of course, with the most famous and popular tank, the name of which is known to everyone from young to old, well, of course it is ...
T-34
Created to resist the German Tiger, he not only fully coped with the task, but also inspired fear in the Nazis on the battlefields. Fast and agile, he was always ahead of the Tiger by one or even two steps. The Germans expected anything from the USSR, but not a masterpiece of tank building. Soviet engineers outdid themselves by throwing onto the battlefields not just a tank, but a weapon that became a symbol of victory in this difficult war. And to this day you will meet these tanks in the museum much more often than any other, because there are many good tanks was produced in those days, but he is one, the most famous of all tanks, just like the Titanic is the most famous of the centuries-old era of shipbuilding. Such is she, the fate of the legend.
Tiger (Tiger)
The USSR was in an agonizing expectation of what the Germans would do, and now, embodying the power and pride of Nazi Germany, the first Tiger was born. The appearance of even one Tiger on the battlefield could change the course of the battle, so it was until the Soviet engineers opposed the T-34 medium tank, which was superior to the Tiger in speed, and hence maneuverability. Any war is always a confrontation with engineering, and therefore, having shown their heavy Tiger tank on the battlefield, the Germans gained dominance on the fields of tank battles. However, the short-term advantage that the Tiger had before the advent of the T-34 cost the German army twice as much as any tank of those times - 1,000,000 (or 300,000) Reichsmarks. Developed since 1937 and appeared on the battlefields only on August 29, 1942 near Leningrad, it was definitely Germany's biggest hope, and to this day, talking about the T-34, no, no, yes, remember its most formidable enemy, battles with which members crews of thirty-fours forever crashed into my memory.
T-34-85
In 1943, when the 76.2 mm T-34 gun became insufficiently effective against newest tanks In Germany, Soviet engineers began working on a new modification of the T-34, as a result of which the T-34-85 was born in 1944, which had improved armor, a new 85 mm gun and was slightly inferior to its predecessor in maneuverability. The most massive tank of the Second World War, it was with the T-34-85 that we finished the Great Patriotic War, yes, there were many more good or even excellent tanks, such as the heavy tank Joseph Stalin or the medium tank T-44, but they do not have such a balance of speed, protection and firepower as the T-34-85, their success is not was so stunning. Being created to fight the second modification of the German Tiger, the T-34-85 was in service with the Soviet Army until the mid-1950s, and was officially withdrawn from service. Russian Federation only in 1993, participated in the Korean and Six-Day War and several others. And in the 21st century, it is still in service with a number of countries, which makes it a weapon of war in two eras at once: WWII and modern local conflicts abroad.
Tiger (Tiger)2
German heavy tank of the final stage of World War II, designed to break the dominance of the Soviet T-34 on the battlefields. Tiger 2, also known as the Royal Tiger, was the most powerful production tank of the Second World War and the last serial heavy tank Nazi Germany. Thanks to a powerful 88-mm cannon, he easily hit any tanks of the anti-Hitler coalition, moreover, having excellent armor against most anti-tank guns of that time. But as is the case with heavy tanks, the high weight had a negative effect on the maneuverability and speed of the tank due to insufficient engine power, which also affected the overall reliability of the Royal Tiger, far from for the better. However, being the most protected tank of the Second World War and having the most advanced weapon of that time, he felt great on the defensive and even though no more than 450 out of about 500 Tigers took part in the hostilities, he is undoubtedly a legend of his time, formidable and majestic, by his appearance alone he showed everyone Kuska's mother until the Soviet tanks dissuaded him of the correctness of his convictions.
M-4 Sherman (Sherman)
In the meantime, the Soviet Union was at war with Nazi Germany, the American and British armored corps were lit on American tank M-4 Sherman, trying to resist the Tigers and Panthers, which are superior in almost all of them, with the destruction of which british tanks Crusader (Krusader) coped many times worse due to weak armor and the same weak weapons. And although the M-4 Sherman could not even withstand the first Tigers of the German armored corps, but the war in Africa is symbolized with this tank, ask someone about the main battle tank United States of America and in 99% of cases you will be called M-4 Sherman.That's all, your interest in my article is the best reward for me.
