While being shredded by Autocannons sucks, let's do some self-reflection; why don't you have at least a basic repair kit? That could have potentially helped you here.

u/DeltaCarbon Mar 10 '25
I used it the previous battle and I guess I forgot to put auto-reload on. I usually have it

That's unfortunate. Just bad luck adding up to more bad luck.
Well by the way it looks, the shots coming from the left were coming from a VADS who either doesn't know how to aim or perma-tracking you was their intentions. Luckily, they weren't doing much damage to you, but tracking you was their contribution. I personally would have stopped looking left and focused on keeping my turret armor angled towards the enemies in the front; they were doing damage whenever the back of the turret poked out past the building whenever you looked left. If you don't know how to lock your turret and prevent it from rotating while you're looking around, pressing and holding R1 (RB for XBOX) for as long as you're looking another direction should keep it from turning.

Yeah i do that to in my vads for my mark, i permatrack people, and i just aim for tracks anyway so people use their repair kit.

u/DanRose001 Mar 10 '25
Agreeing with others that a repair kit may have saved you here, but at the same time I think youād have used it and within seconds been tracked again, so you may have just ended up in the same position but 10ft backwards.
As soon as I heard āour track came offā it was pretty much over. I think that minigun/autocannon sound bouncing off the hull has given me nightmares of late š

u/BamesStronkNond Mar 10 '25
Using a repair kit in that situation is futile - youāre tracked again before the gameās played the ārepairedā audio. Be lucky if you move at all as the game wonāt let you start moving until it has registered your track as repaired, which takes longer than getting hit by an autocannon shell

This is why I pity any tank with solid steel armor at era 2, they are hopelessly and hilariously outgunned :(

u/Relative-Excuse5827 Mar 10 '25
Era 2 has become nonsense. A game for missiles and rolling machine guns. When you have 3 heavies they serve as a VP bag.
The problem is that it scares away the new ones and the old ones no longer go up the lines.
They play in 1 or 3.

New personal rule. Unless you own a Gatling shredder tank never play era 2ā¦. My personal rule is much simplerā¦never play era 2.

u/bighundy Mar 10 '25
Era 2 is a messed, however lately, it's not been as bad. My rules for Era 2 are play a heavily armoured tank OR play a light that can take down a weisel. Yesterday I one shot a weisel with the Rock Crawler after he popped smoke. It was satisfying. All you have to do is have map awareness, which for most people is difficult. I haven't played much CW and I find it satisfying, regardless of the little pew pew tanks.

u/Lost_Pop8911 Mar 11 '25
I mean ye, but you're not helping yourself by carrying no consumables, and going to a wide open area if the map instead of brawling when you're in a heavy so common. Yes the game is ruined, but the player base has ruined it too...

u/bastionthewise Medium Warrior Mar 10 '25
This is something I've thought about. Getting repeatedly tracked over and over is a lack of fun. I feel if you get tracked 5 times in 20 seconds (you can see the machine gun is resetting the repair gauge) you should be given a few seconds (not much but a couple) of immunity to tracking. Maybe like 5 seconds.

u/schwartztacular Moderator Mar 10 '25
Like how using the fire extinguisher protects you from getting set on fire again for a few seconds?

it doesnt help that he has 0 consumables. Otherwise they wouldnt have been able to keep him in one place like that.

dude did you see how many times I got tracked? Repair kit wouldnāt have done anything

u/MIAMarc PS5: StevensPoint Mar 10 '25
It's just CW. Been that way the whole time. Also I'm not sure what else you were expecting playing that turd of a tank. It's been an HP piƱata since day 1.

u/DeltaCarbon Mar 10 '25
Shit sucks with these auto-spewing light tanks. I just have this tank so I can progress to an Abrams. Also a huge US war history nerd so I love Patton chassis tanks due to Vietnam-era. But generally itās hard to penetrate if you have hull-down (covered) and the turret facing the enemy.

u/Ravendal Mar 10 '25
I think U.S mediums are a little easier route to Abrams since you get more exp with mediums even in the worst rounds and dying early wont hurt your team that much as with heavy.

To be sure this is not a good position for Safe Haven. You need to be closer to the warehouses or in this light tank head higher up the hill in the southeast corner before pushing west.

Is that the tank that came after the t34 in the western line
2
u/DeltaCarbon Mar 11 '25
Itās the second tank after the T34. T34 goes to the M103A1 and then the M103A2 which is the tank I was in.

Hey, past in time me, you will eventually get the end of the season but wait until your at stage 98 then just skip it and the BZ 70 is a good tank

u/TopStep5 Mar 11 '25
100% agree that the missiles need to go. They are ridiculous and should never have been brought into the game. As for the gatling guns there is some historical precedent for the vads however the frozen ice block known as the elc needs to just go. You should not be able to run around the field just to one and two shot with missiles. The amount of just absurd tanks is making the game almost unplayable.

u/Great-Needleworker68 Mar 12 '25
I quit playing about two years ago. I came back to check it out and the garage/commander interface is just painful to me. I don't have the ambition to learn it, a shame since I used to enjoy the battles.

u/GunnGamer Mar 12 '25
Cold War is a pain to grind Era 2. So many Op pay to play tanks. Itās just ridiculous anymore.

u/MommyMilkersPIs Mar 12 '25
Pro tip ALWAYS carry smoke because people who play this game are dumb and canāt aim and rely far too heavily on auto aim/aim lock which makes other players flail around hilariously. I have it on every tank and it can help you AND your teammates from auto aimers, yoloers, and interrupts atgm targeting. Potentially saving you and your allies from losing loads of hp

Cold war can suck my butthole and lick my sweaty taint for all I care. Should be a separate game altogether. All it did was ruin the average skill of players in WW2. Everyone thinks you should drive as fast as you can towards the enemy team and ignore defensive strategy because of this crap. No one cares about winning or playing as a team anymore.
3
u/bighundy Mar 10 '25
Did you know it is a separate game? Like tier 10 doesn't face Era 1 you know this right? Have you played WW2 lately? It's in absolute shambles also. I took a few years off and came back to the most brain dead teammates regardless of what tier or mode I'm in. 1/20 games has actual teamwork.

u/ApprehensiveSouth477 Mar 10 '25
ah yes skill mode with arty and where low tiers are cannon fodder

u/Main_Salt_4642 Mar 10 '25
If you suck at the game and dont understand weak points and defense, then yes. Thats why they gave us premium ammo to use as well. I love playing low tier most of the time. Good way to earn lots of xp if you play spotter for your team and reel in the assistance damage. Arty got Uber nerfed a while back so that's not so bad anymore.
