Experience with Tanks- Which ones do you use

[Jason.Watts]

I just wanted to ask which tanks you use for botting.

My Favourites are M5 Stuart, SU26 and Pz IV Schmalturm

Settings are Default Battle Tank and Health Targeting for the Tanks, for Arty I use Arty/Arty.
Better suggestions for the settings and Tanks?

Cheers

modules and Skills/perks makes difference?

My Favourites on Premium line tanks are, Pz.Kpfw. 38H 735 (f),T14, T-127, Churchill III, Matilda IV and LPT (NEW gift).

Regular tanks, Tier 1 all but not Leichtraktor(use those tanks just boosting win/lose ratio), M5 Stuart, T57(after arty Nerf this is painfull), M5A1 Stuart, AMX40.
(for testing I ofc use other tanks but these come up first)

Those are most Botted and best results comes with churchill III + Matilda IV, those tanks are also quite cheap, I must say that my tanks are scattered on several account (I will not specify that ).

Settings are Default Battle Tank and Defaul Targetting for the Tanks, for Arty I use Arty/Arty. (current versions make little difference, but hope Aevitas will make difference)


Modules selected what I think benefits botting, (per tank it depends what it can have)

Coated Optics
Improved Ventilation
Enhanced Gun Laying Drive
Spall Liner
GunRammer


Crew skills/perks selected, for lights first is Camo and second Brothers in Arm, for heavies repair/firefighting, for all Dead eye.

Win/Lose ratio is not needed here, we all know that it can be anything between 0 - 100%, .

I think that you can make big difference when you have good modules and skills/perks for Bot because we cant other way affect Bot performance currently (ofc, we RANT that Aevitas make it better but even then...).

Interested to see what others think and what they have...

Thank you for your comprehensive and detailed reply Glommy.

Logically it makes sense to install the GunRammer and the GunLaying device.

As my tanks donts have an experienced crew, i didnt think further with training.

I have experienced that changing SU 26 to Battle Tank profile issnt that bad from location as the defalt start issnt that good.
So the arty moves to a better spot. Disadvantage is, that it always moves while aiming.

I think you all prefer the Guns with higer Pen than more damage...

Is the bot waiting till aiming circle is low? replays i watched, bot shoot at once, and there would be no sense for gun laying drive. and you put a module for 500k in a tank that cost the half you're a real hardcore botter

I disagree at this point. The bot waits with shooting and the circle gets smaller. So with faster aiming there is a chance of better aiming in the short time (if it works in that way...) or maybe im wrong with this

I dont want have Winrate below 54%, so i have no hints for you because bot will always decrease your winrate to 43%. if you don't care about your winrate, your stats, and the other guys in your team, you can bot what you want.

That's not really true all the time, the vehicles you use do actually affect your winrate. There's some premium lower tier vehicles others in this thread have suggested that the bot plays as well as average players of that bracket do.

About guns, fast firing/reloading seems to be better and then U really need Gun Laying to get faster aim and BIA+Vents, but it depends also how you want play on when ur tank is grinded up to level U want, . For T49 6th. sense is must, but Bot benefits nothing for it, .

All modules are "logical" choice, and kredits used to them are free so I tested and find what I want use. Maybe later when Bot comes more "mature" it can then use "camonet" and "binoculars" more efficient. (well, Tier 1 tank cost 0 and modules etc. cost... how much U pay if U sleep well?)

 

[Glommy]

True, there are some really bad Rookie's and i can imagine sometimes the bot is playing better then them.
But actually, the bot is not better then the average player at all.

Edit: You just have to look whats the strenght of the bot, and what not.

The bot can't take cover well, so i would chose a tank with good front armor.
The bot isn't a good driver, so he need not a tank with good mobility.
Because the bot will not move for good shooting position i would choose one with good DPM.


AT2??

Well, now I partially agree with you and most things what you say "we allready know", .

In Army they say me , -"good soldier dont ask"... so Bot work as good soldier, but it need good officers to provide good "gear and strategy".

6 th. sense for Bot, LoL. I think it can be work like "damage indicator", but problem is then "where it goes when detected". AI -programs are expensive and they need power so maybe I handplay when I want excellent result ans when I have time.

I dont care if I got Bot on my team, but "campers and AFK" are annoying, but thats different story line.

 

[Glommy]

If someone ever want to play by hand, he should select sixt sense as first. Thats my opinion.
If the bot has a working "SearchCover", it would be also useful, but ok, now there is no effect for the bot. But its a bot, he dont care

The similarity of bots, afk, and campers?

They all do not interact with the team, they all do not participate in teamfights, teamaction, tactic...

With T49 (my favourite and really bad for Bot), 6 th. sense was really Great. That specific tank need something really special that you survive and Im still try learning it, but for Bot "Ugly" Churchill III is good.

Eh, AFK, CAmpers and Suizide Scouts, well we play same game and we have opinions and for Bot, I wait that Aevitas finish TL2 programming or I learn C#.. .then THE bot start Punish U, .
