Don't Be That Guy - Memorial Day Edition

For today's episode of "Don't Be That Guy" we have a T-54 Mod 1, in a Tier X battle, who arrived in a platoon with two of his clanmates. His pals were driving an IS-3A and a SkorpG...both pretty decent tanks.

We were on attack mode in Siegfried Line and the battle just never really leaned our way.  At the end it was a 4-15 loss.

What made our friend in the T-54 Mod 1 special was that after he died he chose to taunt his teammates in chat. "Enjoy the loss, shitters" was one of his more eloquent quotes.

So hey, ok. He was frustrated. We've probably all been there. I'm ashamed to admit that I've been salty with my teams occasionally as well, that's something I'm really trying to be better about. Turns out Mr. T-54 Mod 1 has a 47.02% win rate in his 20,000+ battles. O.K., well, that's not very good but there's no shame in not being a good player.

No, Mr. T-54 Mod 1 has an extra claim to fame here. Check out the end plates:


Not only did Mr. T-54 Mod 1 taunt his team, but he did ZERO damage. Here's the fun part...his two platoon-mates, also did zero damage. So while he's calling everybody else shitters, and just being a general jackass, his entire platoon, and remember they're from the same clan, did a total of zero.

World of Tanks is sometimes frustrating. I totally get that. Sometimes you get lousy teams. I complain about my teams sometimes too (Though I'm trying not to be rude to their faces). But if you aren't an especially good player AND you just did absolutely zero damage, you should probably just nod and go quietly back to the garage.

Let's not be that guy.

Got any tips for how to gracefully handle frustrating teams/games? Leave them in the comment section below.

Swedish Mediums

On a more positive note, here's a gameplay video from Claus Kellerman with his review of the Tier X Swedish Medium tank - the UDES 15/16.


GLHF!
