eta - ooh I also got the afk medal for 5 battles in a row with zero damage. Or is it 5 wins in a row? I’ll check.

 

efta - it’s the Invincible medal & requires you to survive 5 in a row with no damage. As you can’t be destroyed without taking damage, the survival element is superfluous or automatic or whatever. YKWIM

My longest streak is 20 wins tier 6 battles, mostly top scorer even against tier 7s. I was platooning with a clan mate. We had very good co-ordination, he had the armor and I had the penetration, sometimes we saw us brawling directly, sometimes we saw ourselves as snipers lol. I survived less, but we managed to win.

 

This game is a really a team game. No matter how much you do alone, you can't win even a single battle without team efforts. And, it is not always possible to carry, even the best of the best players die hard in this game. Hence, it is always suggested to atleast platoon with someone so that even if you die fighting, s/he would be there to fix it. That doesn't guarantee 100% wins, but yes 90% - 95% wins for sure.

As my sig shows, I almost never platoon. I should, probably, but I do it so rarely it always feels off-putting. Anyhoo, my streak was solo so it was a better achievement than yours!

Lol!

I was the same, used to hate platooning but I started doing more cos of the mission and now enjoy it, altho I tend to do it with a handful of the same players so got to know how to play together better, using discord or the like to use voice comm’s makes a huge difference...

I’d recommend tooning more, especially with the post 5dot5 teams having someone who is actually playing like a team is great...

I’m usually open to a toon so ping me if you ever want to give it a whirl, discord optional...

With the advent of Mad Games the sight of Grilles spinning while they fly through the air as they launch off the hill next to the Light House is putting a smile on my face! 

[Mjr_Leicht]

Big air in the obj-268 is funny too...

After watching drivers of the SU100Y in mad games, decided to give it a try!

Bad mistake...it’s totally beyond me, I nearly turned it over.......and as for trying to ram anything.....not a chance by me!

[odin9579]

I played a bit of mad games, I noticed how many really good players were in there having a blowout so snuck into normal play and managed a 5 game winning streak, would have been more but it was late by the time I noticed.

You think that’s bad, last win streak I went on, RNG came back with a vengeance, followed me to WoWS and wrecked me there, then like a virus hit me in PUBG and I’m pretty sure it even infected my GTA SA ...

 

Nothing like getting hit with the Cancracker stick.

That's a good one. Play alone and RNG f**ks you nicely. I was soloing and was on a nice streak of 9 wins. I was counting a lot on my 10th win. Suddenly i stop hitting targets, team players become AFK or play like noobs. Enemy KV 1S camps whole day in the base, suddenly appears to capture the circle when we are just 1 shot HPs. He goes turkey shooting all.

must say I didn’t enjoy the mad games experience so similarly went back to normal games.

Trouble is, the teams that were left in random battles required playing only the strongest tanks. 

[llo1]

Paraphrasing a certain song “ Mad Games” - what is it good for.....absolutely nothing....

I know that certain people actually “like” these games (or so we are told), but I find them so frustrating, loss after top scoring loss after sweet nothing scored loss ....no skill allowed, noobs and brain dead teams, bouncing shots, rammed by an invisible tank, .....

Oh sorry...that is normal games...mad games....zero effect on wr & enabling grinding of tanks....as well as all the disappointing real game side effects....

Come on WG provide a proper game selection, Realistic, normal, Rating and Mad and then possible Fantasy mode where all the fantasy tanks are permanently banned!

I will be soooo glad when mad games are finished...

Or when I finally have finished all my tank grinding!

I like Mad Games, it’s a single player game and you earn tons of credits in premiums...

Just play Gravedigger, SuperPershing or Smasher and rake in the coins...

I utterly HATE it, full of brain dead noobs, all they want to do is not play a game, but to simply die!

And I don’t have any of those tanks you quote!

I only use it for grinding tanks...if the actual people playing wermade to grind and learn rather than “buy” they way to higher tiers, the game would benefit all players!

Sorry GeForce the rant, but I cannot help but think of all of WG developers laughing like hell as people simply pour silver down the drain thinking they are having fun!

I will. You will have to explain the Discord thing though.

Using discord, two players who toon together can actually speak in real time and don’t have to type responses to each other!

[Mjr_Leicht]

How can you hate mad games, look how good it makes the CGC or should I say Battle Badger, it deserves the title now!

Most of the time you are lucky to get even one.
