skirmish

[harsh crown]

So it was in February last time

[oblique sand]

skermish

[opaque cosmos]

skermish

[clear sphinx]

Remove possibility to toon in this mode

[hollow solar]

Badger in Skirmish Kolobanoving like there's no tomorrow

[sharp raft]

WG can you add some more maps into the rotation in the Skirmish Mode? It will be highly appreciated ☺️

[topaz stump]

No thanks with this mode

[fossil rapids]

It's good practice esp for newbies.

[novel sentinel]

есть кто то русский?._.

For Ju-Nu why is dont have a special thing?

[mighty siren]

Along with realistic honestly

[willow prairie]

havent played this since i very first got the game

[hybrid hornet]

what will be the next mode?

[fading crater]

I’d agree with that! It should be.

[novel sentinel]

[twilit jetty]

Please let skirmish be a permanent game mode 😩

[fossil rapids]

750 victories now. 😃

[cinder shard]

love to see that 😏

[harsh dew]

you can tell when a game mode is boring, over 1 minute for a match

[fading crater]

2 to 10 seconds for load for me.

[proven scarab]

Big boss when? lol

[summer sigil]

2v2 3v3 tourney: guess i don't exist

[pale tangle]

Skirmish is only for meta competive tank. I can't play Batchat in that map 💀

[worthy edge]

Make it so that it isn’t so easy to cap bases

[sharp raft]

Yess, skirmish is good for the good armoured vehicles

[worthy edge]

My whole team was camping spawn and they just sat in base

[novel sentinel]

Yeah, it’s cause it’s only half a map, so the crossfires that usually exist in base aren’t necessarily there making it much harder to defend a base

[onyx willow]

played like 200-250 battles and not once did any team cap base
@worthy edge yeah i know that from realistic battles, all hiding in spawn, mostly had to zoom around lure enemies into our spawn so that we might win

[worthy edge]

Come to EU I and you will see a lot of babies that are scared to fight

[noble frost]

lol

[cinder shard]

This and realistic battles, these two are all I want from WG to make permanent

[twilit jetty]

I'm not a fan of realistic though cause you can't see the enemy til it's too late and you can barely tell if its your team mate or not that is passing by you that always confuses me so I just end up losing

[novel sentinel]

I mean. After the 1st or second time it happened I why didn't u think to go defend base? 🤔

[onyx willow]

exactly

[worthy edge]

Because I'm busy dealing with 2 of them and the rest are capping. I can't just turn my tank and go cap base. Fine the next time I'll go fight on the base side.

[lofty plinth]

Shoulda made skirmish even numbers only, because noobs with tier 9s can get into t10 games and throw it completely. And it only takes 1 player to throw the whole game

[harsh dew]

skill issue

[fossil bison]

this sheri peeked the wrong corner

[onyx willow]

yes exactly a mode for camping in back and waiting for someone to peek
i know u are a td but all 5 tanks just chilling

[fossil bison]

the game had literally just started and we got spotted then the sheri backed up and peeked again about 10 seconds later, nobody was in position yet

[harsh crown]

Ammoracks happens much more frequently in this mode for some reason

[cinder heart]

I had 2 ammoracks in 1 game

[harsh crown]

Same

[quartz ridge]

I made two engine get burning in one game, there's a reason I like this mode

[hollow solar]

Engine burns have absolutely nothing to do with this game mode.

[gaunt heart]

[sharp raft]

I think Skirmish is like normal mode with the smaller map and 5v5

[oblique vigil]

That must be because it’s normal (encounter) mode with smaller teams and maps…

[sharp raft]

[tacit kettle]

Big boss when?

[hollow solar]

I will do you one better.
Big boss why?

[unborn island]

安全和快樂的

[hollow solar]

Your English comes across rather cryptic. Have you considered reading the server title?

[summer sigil]

they always ask When Big Boss
they never ask How Big Boss 😔

[vocal cloud]

Who like skirmish?

[tired badge]

https://tenor.com/view/tumbleweed-crickets-chirping-silence-anyone-there-hello-there-gif-18512183

[tired badge]

yep no one likes skirmish

[hollow solar]

I have grown to kinda like it, but other modes are much more fun. I would rather play Uprising, Mad Games, Big Boss, Burning, Gravity any day

[jovial knot]

Yeah

[cunning prism]

I agree

[tiny ermine]

I like it. I wouldn't play it over any other gamemode except realistic, but I like it in tanks that brawl super easily

[novel sentinel]

Me! 🤩

[crisp fox]

anyone wanna duo? T7/9 DM if interested EU

[crimson merlin]

sure

[novel sentinel]

I prefer any other modes than this one it's just the same as regular but smaller maps 5 player team each side and quick game

[sharp raft]

Skirmish is good for grinding efficiently tech tree tanks but some maps annoy me especially small Canal.
Small Falls Creek is pretty nice

[ebon pebble]

You can’t even play Sheri Missile in Skirmish 💀

[tawny snow]

I like Skrimish 💀
More then Mad games
(Note this is my opinion)

[novel sentinel]

1. boss mode
2. Uprising mode
3. Gravity mode
4. Mad games
5. Burning games
6. Realistic mode
7. Regular battles
8. Skirmish 5v5
9. Rating

This is my best to least favorites my opinion 😂

[autumn nimbus]

idk why everyone hates burning games, its a really good game mode, the health drain means that to win you must play aggressively and cap bases. whenever I've played it i never have campers. and if they do camp they become one shots and die really easily

[indigo forge]

Remove vk168 it's better than ever

[autumn nimbus]

only if you care, i just play my 168 and m41d and just do stupid things, rush enemy spawn, jump of big hills ect. don't try to win, just try to have fun and you will come to like grav

[indigo forge]

VK168 is the problem it's just going to ram u and ruining the match it deals 900of my HP by just ramming it's not fun

[wintry dragon]

Boss mode would be at 9th for me

It’s so rng based, you get a bad boss and you pretty much lose lol

[novel sentinel]

Mind if I ask why?lol

[barren mirage]

Gravity is a holy gamemode for the british AT tank destroyer tech tree

[vivid radish]

idk skirmish kinda fun

[nocturne lagoon]

Jump boost lets you avoid them, unless if you are on a regular/heavium heavy tank

[tall fiber]

Skill issue
Kv5 is more dangerous because it can turn and it rams as well.

[sharp raft]

I grinded the FV 215b (183) in Skirmish and it was pretty easy especially in AT15 and Tortoise. You move to a ridge line and shot.
The lower tiers were pretty painful though.

Funny as well was the fast cap strategy. Just drive straight into the cap and let the enemy come. Then Dpm them to death 🤣

[tired badge]

when are we getting a new mode?

[fading crater]

What… it’s gone already. 😢

[torn flint]

I may have lost hp but you played yourself😂

[echo ivy]

bro acting sad that skirmish is gone

[ocean fiber]

uh actually he said it’s his fav mode in the clan chat

[echo ivy]

"erhm, askaually ☝️ 🤓 " ok thats fair

[upbeat bear]

Cope with it, go play another tier or get one for yourself...

[fading crater]

You should really check the date on things before you post stuff like that that’s dated last year

[civic summit]

loooool

[fading crater]

lol

[novel sentinel]

Lost connection 😔

[mild sage]

I hope such players will be banned especially Russian ones. it's not even about dmg, its about behavior.
"( Because they think they are so smart)"

[harsh dew]

out of all the game modes, skirmish is my least favorite, yet it has my highest winrate, wonder what that says about me 👀

[mild sage]

Ok

[stark meadow]

This game mode is boring ngl

[trim leaf]

Fr skirmish sucks specially with light tank 🙏💀

[fading crater]

Idk I find it easy!

[novel sentinel]

That's gotta be the dumbest response I've heard in a while tbh, skirmish is regular except the map is cut in half... what's unique about it?

[novel sentinel]

There's no fun factor, I love how you characterize fun modes as "soothing ADHD" and I never said realistic was fun either, lmao they're both boring, they're regular battles with such simple changes that there's no point waiting for it to come around, there's no excitement for it to be back
Looking at limited time gamemodes from a skill factor is nonsensical lmao cuz they don't affect stats

[novel sentinel]

I'm good at it I average 3.5k tier 10 lmao, that argument that being bad = find it boring is invalid. Also did you just say blitz is rotting away into the realm of casual? You want the game to be full of tryhards? If that's the case try ratings you'll find exactly what you're looking for. if it's fun for you that's completely fine and I respect that but I personally think it's not worth waiting that long to play skirmish or realistic, it should be a checkbox like supremacy and regular at the bottom of the screen

Literally all I play is ratings and regular and that gives enough competitive edge, if a gamemode that allows me to play like an absolute bot and have a ton of fun (uprising and mad games) then what's wrong with that

[novel sentinel]

In the house... Skirmish mode... thx WG🤐

[lost ridge]

i want gravityyyy

[zenith mantle]

high ping and loss/server connection issues i think, they're not actually in the house

[neat herald]

🤓🤓🤓🤓☝️

[novel sentinel]

Skirmish Bro, loss 5%

[novel sentinel]

and ofcourse i die first, the heavies were camping 💀

[torn plank]

Even I didn't expect that, it's the only reason I play 5v5 skirmish.

[unique crystal]

I love skirmish keep it pls

[unkempt coral]

Plz make big boss a permenant game mode

[lunar vine]

hell no.

[opaque tendon]

Hey WG your MM for this mode is truly amazing. I keep getting AFKs and bot teams that can’t find their way out of spawn let alone find the fire button.

[granite folio]

no wonder why i keep losing with my jgpz e100

[opaque tendon]

It’s amazing the amount of 60% who cry over getting beat in this mode.

[opaque tendon]

Thanks WG for the 37% Leo on my last team. It was so helpful.

[fickle hedge]

HTC moment

Only other higher damage was the T49 on the enemy team bc he camped the whole match

[unkempt coral]

I have skirmish games where I’ve done 5k and still lose in the STB 1 lol

[woven nacelle]

Gravity and Big Boss more often would be better

[lost ridge]

havent seen gravity in some time wdym?

[narrow barn]

True. They’re doing gravitizing instead, but gravity is more popular and the OG mode. Imo skirmish should get less play time. Unpopular and the amount of AFKs is terrible and a worse overall effect on the team.

[lost ridge]

i can agree, skirmish is not a fun gamemode, id really prefer mad games, big boss, gravity and ones where your tank has more capabilities unlike skirmish but realistic is also fine

[novel sentinel]

I like to grind in skirmish idk why (I researched type 71 that way)

[violet viper]

When will we get gravity mode :( I don’t want gravitising!!

[humble geyser]

Uprising 2 vs 1 Then draw !!

[lost ridge]

big boss is the #1 for grinding

[pastel temple]

welcome back yall

[sturdy fulcrum]

[lunar vine]

3 player plat in skirmish = broken

[dusky lily]

5.8 dmg tier 8 carry bourasque

[sand plaza]

Mid gamemode ngl

15 minute slowmode 💀

[lunar vine]

it's a special type of gamemode yea x)
short battles with less people means less xp, less credits, no medals so even less credits...
Plus most of the time i get bullied and killed so fast

[novel sentinel]

One of the worst game mode out there
I quitted wotb but came back for gravitizing and big boss
Now going to quit again until theres mad games, burning, uprising or gravity.

[compact cedar]

There should be a special award or avatar when you destroy all 5 enemies in Skirmish. I did it several times last night and felt robbed after every battle.

[blazing shadow]

Yea

[fiery shadow]

We need uprising, tired of big boss bruh

[compact cedar]

Why is Skirmish only 3 days? I enjoy honing my skills in Skirmish mode.

[torn plank]

One of the luckiest fights I've played.

[quiet valve]

Not a fan of platoons in skirmish mode...especially 3 player ones

[viscid python]

Yeah, too much big boss, there are people that just keep spamming graviton and it's isn't fun, it should be nerfed or replaced completely

[sand plaza]

honestly, I'm fine with big boss being somewhat frequent, it's just the role amount and gravitrap not being nerfed is the issue

[graceful solstice]

Platoon?

[sharp raft]

Skirmish is best

[crude folio]

I vote to replace it.

Having no control over your tank is just annoying, and not fun at all.

[olive vine]

[crystal zephyr]

[clever shell]

At least boss mode is good for credits lol

[idle apex]

Yeah but it can put you on the test of your sanity. (Need to nerf gravitons)

[prisma anchor]

Great game lol

[mighty mountain]

love this mode. i farm more damage than in reg which is all that matters rn

[sand plaza]

why are the people in skirmish mentally challenged

[warm bronze]

The base needs to be deleted from skirmish, there is no fun if you cap or the ennemy cap

[late moon]

or make it appear later, like with 2 mins left so you can actually dig out campers

[twin rampart]

Not only in skirmish

[narrow barn]

Skirmish is bad

[sand plaza]

ehh it's alright if you don't have much time and want a quick match

[candid edge]

On god it’s bad

[soft cairn]

Skirmish would be a great mode if every battle wasn't on a variation of yamato harbor

[sand plaza]

true

[novel sentinel]

And Middleburg and Desert Sands and Normandie.

[dreamy hemlock]

Matchmaking in skirmish is a bad excuse for rigging the game. Seen so much clowns versus vets rerollers that it is disgusting. Usually 30 secs into game tells me which team will win. However good for getting " be 2. Or 3. Dmg wise missions" easy within a bunch of victims. Going as lowtier IX outta a battle with 2k dmg and being top scorer tells lot about team capabilities. So same as for every fun mode. Rigged to death to frustrate players into purchases while rewarding competent whale with clowns to farm. And less competent whales will get 3 bouncers™ and 5 surehitalwayspenhighrolls™ © Wargambling.net

[dreamy hemlock]

But wait! Thats not all! Purchases of high price pixel tank will get you a reload boost and a mobility boost. Outturning that pesky light in your TD Worry not!
Having a round ready before your enemy does? Worry not with our burstreloadboost™ you will deceide every duel for ya.. And if thats not sufficent buy a solid autoreloader and first outburst and then outdpm them! Victoryassured™ ©wargambling.net

[idle canopy]

I as a p2w player agree

[merry ore]

can you elaborate with the rigging part? because i haven’t seen anyone talk about rigged matches in skirmish

[dreamy hemlock]

Previous post contain irony and sarkasm! Readers shall familarize with these concepts and caution is advised!

However the team composition i observe is highly unbalanced. As stated before. More veteran players / higher ranking league players in one team. Which unsurprisingly deceides match for them.

This is not always the case but its from gut feeling happening to often to be a mere coincidence.

[crystal zephyr]

Lol they add skirmish the day before it leaves

[random dock]

What?

[crystal zephyr]

Did they open this chat earlier in the week?
Oh yeah I’m dumb lol

[random dock]

They did you can even see messages from yesterday ( and 12.04 you even writed up there lol )

Bad skirmish 5vs5 small super use there is no!

[flint furnace]

All super iq players in this mode and just for camping… really good .

[zenith fulcrum]

Where has skirmish gone? Plus no replacement. Is there an update today because game modes usually change on a Friday. I find this tinkering with the schedules irritating to say the least, especially when you stop my favourite mode early!

[upper nymph]

Remember kids dont buy IS7s

[barren flicker]

Skirmish should always be on. It’s the best practice, great for trying tanks I don’t usually play and testing new tactics.

[upper nymph]

To me had way better games in 5vs5 then 7vs7

[keen plume]

best gamemode

[swift topaz]

the most pointless mode of blitz

[twin dagger]

Honestly, 5v5 goes hard
Imo, we should be able to earn mastery badges in it

[leaden mirage]

should just be a regular battle option tbh.

[twin dagger]

True

[zenith fulcrum]

Best game mode. Bring it back soon please.

[swift turtle]

How did you have the old interface ?

[zenith fulcrum]

Thank you for bringing Skirmish back! The best game mode.

[haughty isle]

its not that gud in my opinion, It could be better if more of the map was available

[haughty isle]

tru, but still I prefer sniping

[iron sequoia]

Brooooh give me a mod for the old shell icons, I beg you, I've been looking for them everywhere, I even downloaded the old version, but nothing worked.

[misty quiver]

Why skirmish again? when big boss returning?

[clear grotto]

I dont remember

[covert ruin]

Skirmish has become my most detested game mode. EVERY SINGLE GAME there's a player going to base and you either win without being able to do anything or lose also being unable to even fight. There's absolutely no reason Skirmish has to have a base. Burning Games, for example, when it's Encounter does not have a base and we're talking regular maps with 2 full teams and 2 lives per player. Skirmish has maps cut in half or a third of regular size and smaller teams. Why is there a need to have a base and on top counting faster? Sorry WG but that does not creates a difference or something specific for the mode. It makes a vile habit of campers going base even worse. Please remove bases from Skirmish. It 100% kills any joy in this mode.

[cerulean shuttle]

Can we all agree? No one really liked skirmish

[covert ruin]

I always liked Skirmish for all the years I've been playing, but now all games are either running to base or camp on the red line near spawn. This last one can be handled through fighting, but rushing base is just pathetic and a waste of resources if you're developing tanks. Boosters become useless when the game ends so fast you win less XP than a game in Rating or Regular without boosters. Bases on Skirmish must be gone. They make no sense and ruin the mode.

[covert ruin]

There's another issue that WG must address urgently, and that is AFK's. If an AFK player is bad in every game mode, on Skirmish it's almost 100% fatal for the team having one. I suggest that AFK players suffer a penalty, like a reasonable amount of Credits, to the point that being AFK becomes very costly. I always get the excuse that AFK players may be suffering of bad connections, but that is a lie in 99% of the cases. On Ratings the amount of AFK players is minimal compared to special game modes, which proves that the connection has nothing to do with it. In fact, a lot of players start playing once they got hit once, or even getting spotted. I've seen it thousands of times, literally. So, fines for AFK players is a good way to discourage them.

[elfin spade]

Not a fan of skirmish, 10v10 or burning games.

[covert ruin]

An example of how damaging the base is on Skirmish is a game my platoon mate had yesterday. She played T9 against T10, made around 1900 damage but her team capped the base, and in the end she didn't get the ingot for the event since she didn't make the necessary 450xp. The other 4 players didn't even make 1000 damage each, so I'm guessing that the team XP bonus for the team win was pathetic because of base cap.
@elfin spade : I like Burning Games because campers are forced to fight or at least heal team mates instead of hiding all game doing nothing. 10vs10 is meh but not the worst.

[elfin spade]

But what is the use of Burning Games if you don’t get credit at the end of the game for healing? I spend the majority of the time healing people and end up with (lvl. 6) 1 or 2k points because I spent time healing people. I still play the fun modes but nothing is better for me than GF. It’s a sniper’s dream!

[glossy adder]

Skirmish is finally gone

[carmine karma]

I like skirmish because I have an aggressive playstyle and use the cap to lure out the enemy.. if I don’t do that, it’s a camp-off like two boys out troops sitting on opposite sides of the campsite. But the moment I force cap (with no intention on a full capture) and it gets to above 70 AT LEAST one red comes running over and then we clear them, making a 5v4 and completing the game in a landslide

Skirmish just depends on a really confident player being on either team to do something or else heavies will redline and campoff til a Draw

[elfin spade]

Not so fast there! 🙁

[carmine karma]

Let’s goooooo

[winged pendant]

Stupid mode , 1 or 2 are afks mostly

[glossy adder]

broken dreams so grand

[elfin spade]

The wait times in several of the fun modes seem to be longer than that of others. Are there any stats regarding average wait times for each fun mode? Do they factor at all into future scheduling of games? Do any of these stats bear on the consideration of what fun modes may be eliminated? I’m in the NA region and just curious.

[carmine karma]

Playing skirmish it’s best to NOT play a heavy since everyone wants to play a heavy, like 85% of cue is just heavies

[carmine karma]

Flood skirmish N.A. server rn, 5 of us in cue the last 30 minutes💀💀

[barren flicker]

Skirmish is great. Absolute favorite mode. The quick cap makes campers move or lose, and there are no stupid “special powers”. This IS Blitz. It should be on full time.

[carmine karma]

Exactly! That’s why I love it

Plus think about it: pubs you can do 3k and win within 5 minutes, this mode can do the same 3k and win within 2.5-3.5. Much quicker timing, but same credits and exp. So much nicer to grind plus 1 in 5 has more influence on the game than 1 in 7

[brisk goblet]

@acoustic flower That's not a Skirmish screenshot. Try #screenshots instead.

[mossy birch]

does anyone knows how longer will skirmish be up?

[slow bridge]

Who cares I’ve lost 20 of 25 rounds. Wotb has the 5 on 5 ranked up so that no one wins more than a few rounds. It used to be a lot of fun but not anymore!

[slow bridge]

Yeah that’s everyone’s answer because they hate hearing the truth and and if you had made skills you would be able to go one on 5 and win. I’ve done a 5frags 3 times already and the 5 on 5 is still a sad losing affair! It used to be fun! Tell me another lie!

[zenith bobcat]

A video I shot six months ago. It's a test to see how much a bullet will miss its target at abnormally high velocities.

Also, a quick test of how well fallen trees act as cover.

*velocity 13,000 m/s or 17,550 m/s.

[zenith bobcat]

Conclusion
No matter how much you increase bullet velocity, you still need to lead your shots.
Fallen trees are more reliable than they appear. However, the direction and size at which they act as cover vary depending on the type of tree.

[remote steeple]

I don't mind playing skirmish; I think far more of it than 10v10. However, why is WG passing up Big Boss? We should be playing Big Boss, we've already played skirmish. Keep the stuff in proper rotation.

[zenith bobcat]

This video was originally planned for release during the Mad Games event. Many people probably already know this from the Reforged update announcement, but the visual appearance and actual hit detection can differ.

The difficulty in hitting the Bisonte's weak point is more significantly influenced by the delay time before the shell is fired.

+Bonus: If the damage is not significant, you cannot restore durability with a repair kit.

@novel sentinel please check the game news. That's the new game mode

@graceful cobalt the amount of points per second - 2, maximum - 4

What’s the use of releasing a new mode nobody wanted and the fact that we can only play in 23 hrs from now? Pretty pathetic in my opinion

[mystic shore]

41st

[calm salmon]

what’s wrong with the 23 hours? Should they have only told us they are adding in a new mode a minute before it opens up? This is just for advance information. I didn’t ask specifically for a 5v5 mode but I don’t mind. It’s another mode in the list, so the other modes don’t show up too frequently and get boring

[iron hedge]

What’s the use of releasing a new mode nobody wanted and the fact that we can only play in 23 hrs from now? Pretty pathetic in my opinion
@thin blade be happy your getting something directly after two events in the first place. You could very well not be getting anything and it shows that WG is working hard and trying to provide despite the circumstances of the past months

[odd forge]

What does the camp look like?

Interesting game mode, I wonder how mmy Jagdpanzer E100 will work on it

[novel sentinel]

Hehe or vicker lights

[rose veldt]

german heavies , t110e3, super heavy tds ,... going to have a great time ,

[jaunty remnant]

Vickers gonna be op it will spot the enemy when it spawns xD

[swift rune]

Lol, heavy tanks will be op in this mode, as they don't have to travel far.

Vickers will be trash, the maps are already too small.

[analog shoal]

Agreer

[novel sentinel]

thx for the idea about the badger platoon

[graceful cobalt]

I'm gonna have fun with my JGPZE100

[elder mason]

ah yes double smasher

[wicked geyser]

Me too ha ha @graceful cobalt
17cm pak go BOOOOOM

[novel sentinel]

Play double Maus and camp haha

[smoky otter]

It’s time to use grille

[verbal bridge]

platoon available in skirmishes?

[barren nest]

Hey, I’ll take the free camos.
actually i dont know anymore, kinda uglyyyyyy

[low tulip]

@barren nest scroll up

[novel sentinel]

Stats will affect on this mode?

[unkempt carbon]

Nope

[novel sentinel]

Man I wish it was 5v5 on normal sized maps.

[vague kindle]

Or a 10vs10 would be interesting too

[harsh breach]

10 vs 10 would literally fry the servers... you saw what uprising did a few updates ago and how they had to shut it down for a period of time. 10 vs 10 would even do it worse as it will be super popular

[novel sentinel]

Dog 2 on this mode will looks even bigger and imagine in turnamet 5 dog2 🙂

[broken ore]

With the maps blitz have, we could do 15 Vs 15 😂

[deft sierra]

I wonder how skirmish will be like

[novel sentinel]

sikrmish tourney how??

There will be tournament in 10-13july

@jaunty remnant yuup haha they at Spawn and are spotted they don't must move to attack

[smoky tundra]

how would platoons work for skirmish mode? is it a 5 man toon or 2 man toon?

[quaint shard]

Will people be able to platoon in skirmish? And are there special rewards for skirmish tournaments?

[tribal hare]

Ask ribble you guys

[iron hedge]

Or, just or, wait the 20 something hours and find out yourself?

[mystic shore]

^^

[civic edge]

I’m a big fan of the avatar 😉

[barren nest]

I wonder why

[charred jasper]

I feel like this mode is gonna be super heavy spam

[manic locust]

^ just run a maus toon lol, mobility is pretty useless, 5v5 but its a smaller map so less space for flanking

[wheat crag]

does skirmish mode requires 100% crew?

[wraith hollow]

better if you did have 100%

[pine shard]

Probably not

[gilded vigil]

Imagine if the entire enemy had fat tanks on a smoll map

[south spire]

ToG II

[hushed hearth]

Imagine a 1 vs 1 battle mode....

[novel sentinel]

Oh no
Anyway
40 wr vs 60 wr matchmaker xD

[charred jasper]

You have described this whole game

[south spire]

then stop being 40%ers and stop complaining about mm

[obtuse slate]

5 Maus vs 5 maus

[plain raptor]

@obtuse slate would probably lose on cap

[lime pawn]

cant wait to play skirmish mode in my stock st -1 vs double maus toons

[quick swallow]

All Maus players will take all

[fringe snow]

It's all encounter battles no cap

[plain raptor]

@fringe snow there's a base that takes less time to capture.

[iron hedge]

Imagine a 1 vs 1 battle mode....
@hushed hearth GULAG

[thorn raft]

O

[tall bloom]

whats skirmish

[novel sentinel]

@tall bloom new game mode its a 5v5 battle with smaller maps

[tall bloom]

so just death match and smaller maps and no base @novel sentinel

[dusk oak]

There is a base

[quick swallow]

WG should add a hunger games mode

[mystic shore]

That's just battle royale, and no

[novel sentinel]

there would need to be big maps for that

[novel sentinel]

Random poll. What game mode would you rather have?
U=uprising
M=mad games
G=gravity force
R=Realistic
S=skirmish

Edit: thx @limber quartz for putting the letters up there for me.
Edit#2: please only vote once. If not I can't do anything about it. It's just only 1 game mode can come out at a time so just vote on the one you want most.

[limber quartz]

np

[wheat arch]

Second game I got ammoracked

[novel sentinel]

Is skirmish good for grinding XP

[rose veldt]

lmao how did i cap xD , how people can’t reset a cap that is literally 2 meter from them , i’m only one capped

[patent acorn]

Uprising and gravity were were equally as fun imo

[novel sentinel]

Uprising and gravity were were equally as fun imo
@patent acorn I kinda agree

[tribal siren]

Yeah tied for the best but mad games is a close 2nd

[warm blaze]

Got charioteer

[novel sentinel]

is this mode good for grinding xp

[steel quail]

Honestly can't decide if I liked Gravity or Mad games the most. Interested in how skirmish will work out and if i like it more or less than realistic.

I dislike Uprising because ironically while it has so many abilities it ends up always feeling stale. One of the teams just ends up spawn killing the others because the respawn invisibility is easy to negate

[sullen wave]

Uprising is by far the best imo, like a longshot. Mad games second, gravity third, skirmish fourth. Skirmish is fun tho. Oh yeah and realistic fifth because I don’t like it at all. Heccin forgot about that one lmao

[primal trench]

Is Skirmish mode already going because idk how small the maps will be, cause are the maps gonna be impossible for players to be undetected

[novel sentinel]

Everything is ending too fast and this mode doesn't affect winrate. So I can grind Exp and money without worrying my winrate to decrease. But, still, I feel like mad games and uprising can make us much more credits due to longer battles with abilities to do more damage.

[novel sentinel]

last time uprising was out i only had 4 tanks now i got 11 i wanna see what they can do cant wait till it comes back and its a really good mode for grinding creds so you can get up the line

[cobalt girder]

Last time Uprising was out I had a T49 to grind and my credits went one way

[novel sentinel]

YOU SUCK ART!!!! good. Now I leave

[rain cipher]

...?

[novel sentinel]

Thx WG for this mode, I really love it. My low-end devices no feel lag anymore... Thx hopefully it will be a permanent mode

[cobalt girder]

I hope this guy is joking, I’m having a blast thinking this is a nightmare

[novel sentinel]

I hope anybody do smasher platoon probably impossible to win pls don't allow the Smasher to play at this mod

[iron hedge]

Never

[novel sentinel]

@cobalt girder nope I am not joking

[novel sentinel]

Claustrophobia mode

[cobalt light]

dont think toons are possible i mean it would kinda be unfair

[iron hedge]

We’ll find out soon enough 😈

[novel sentinel]

Maus toon

[long karma]

Me

[novel sentinel]

Can WG make it so the SUPER OP tanks can't be played in 5v5? Like action X and smasher.

[iron hedge]

No

[icy tiger]

Or just nerf it

[graceful cobalt]

Bruh WG can't just nerf every thank you want just because you don't like it

It's not like you're gonna encounter these 2 tanks every match

[novel sentinel]

If they can stop Y5 firefly from playing in realistic then they can stop smasher/action X from playing in skirmish

[long tree]

you can avoid the slowdown thing by editing what u wrote

[vestal fog]

nah 7 smashers vs 7 sp1c

[winter quiver]

best type of tanks is a medium tanks.

[novel sentinel]

This mode contains alot of toxic people even if this mode doesnt affect stats 🤦‍♂️😂

[pale gorge]

5v5 sucks

[civic swift]

Bruh

[solar oyster]

Skirmish is quite… underwhelming for me

[little lava]

idk why it is laggy for me

[graceful cobalt]

I don't like skirmish

[green summit]

The team with more heavies wins, so it’s worst than rating or random

[open carbon]

Skirmish is a massive steaming turd 💩 mode. It emphasises the weakest links in MM and amplifies them. An absolute waste of time. Big thumbs down 👎

[wheat surge]

I rate skirmish mode

A roblox oof/10

[vital sundial]

The first reward is useless, it gets there what I get from a large container and it's useless and I bother with children who play it and at the same time their GamePlay is 0

[shrewd palm]

grille shine pfp.

[novel sentinel]

you can wreck ppl with a platoon

[old cave]

Game mode is hilarious

[vital sundial]

Only?? So bad reward

[calm salmon]

Meh it’s ok. I use boosters sometimes. They can be useful when there’s x5

[topaz brook]

How to carry your bots

[pallid vortex]

So far, I've used the Cromwell and the T57 Heavy mostly. 1,200 dmg does hurt a lot

[novel sentinel]

I've done 11 battles and only lost one, mm is my friend this morning

[novel sentinel]

Crew ep boosters dont work in 5v5 right?

[pallid vortex]

[stray eagle]

this gamemode in a nutshell

[alpine narwhal]

yep mm is absolutely rubbish, shows the flaws in the ‘matching system’! Last battle we had two tier 8 meds & a heavy but they had two tier 8 heavies & a tier 7 med,we had one tier 7 td, but they had a tier 8 td & a tier 7 td! Can’t defend against that on a small map....and this has happened more than half a dozen times!
Could be a good mode if it is administered properly!

[north sorrel]

Bad

[pearl breach]

@stray eagle whats wrong?

[carmine mortar]

185th.

[novel sentinel]

A 5 v 5. It only makes sense that good players are going to shine even more in this mode. I expect to see a number of landslide losses posted here.

[strong relic]

It's a shame that this mode is dominated by heavies even more than normal games, it would have been great on a full map so you can actually use mobility but now the maus doesn't have to worry about anything because it's so cramped, would love to see someone post their WR in this mode after double maus platoons

[novel sentinel]

I agree. I've long wanted a 5 v 5 on full size maps. It would be awesome.

[dense vector]

This gamemode dont affect stats @strong relic

[zenith oasis]

take maus
go cap
win

[novel sentinel]

It's kinda hard if the opponent has two waffles and a ht. They just hold the cap too easily.

[strong relic]

@dense vector I know but you can count it yourself easily, wouldn't be surprised if even two 50%ers could get high 60% WR in this game mode

I was quite interested in the 5v5s and I would have definitely played it for fun if it was on the whole map but now it's just somewhere else to grind my KV3 because mobility doesn't matter 🤷‍♀️ Pretty disappointing overall.

[alpine narwhal]

Think it would have been more fun if there were no heavies & td’s, just meds & lights, that would be fast & furious then without thinking about where a td might be hiding or running around the map straight into a heavy 🤣

[rain fern]

Add full maps in 5 vs 5 next time pls.

[wild karma]

how do I know how many victories I have for the skirmish mode

[vivid herald]

Does this mode affects win rate?

[oak badge]

no > Does this mode affects win rate?
@vivid herald it does not afffect stats

[stray eagle]

none of the modes every affected the wr

[dense vector]

for god sake please, make 5vs5 on full map

We cant do anything on light tanks

[rose veldt]

me pings part of map that is unacceptable , my teammates : lol i’m going to do that cuz u did it and it’s hilarious

[twilit lake]

Lol boring mode, full of campers

[haughty trench]

Well Nice matchmaking :p

[novel sentinel]

Ez 30 wins

[tribal siren]

How are you guys playing it? It says in 30 minutes for me

[calm salmon]

It’s begun on some servers

[alpine narwhal]

Try tier 5-6 , think thats more fun than higher tiers. A bit more faster paced

[novel sentinel]

I'm playing it only for grinding my tanks...

Sorry but have to say skirmish is a big fail for me, to many people using stock tanks, dont know how to position said tanks, focusing highest hp targets. Its bad enough having bad players on a full size map.

[tough sandal]

I'm playing it only for grinding my tanks...
@novel sentinel

Same hahah x5 xp and no stats record

[winged mural]

this mode would be a hell of a lot more fun if the RNG wasnt so insanely unbalanced. 3 battles in a row and i die to much lower skilled players, simply because their RNG rolls were better. My fully aimed shells from a Vickers, E 100, and Ho-Ri missed about half the time, bounced off the side of an M48 patton, failed to pen an STB, and generally ended up with my death when i didnt even get into a bad position

[jovial fjord]

In normal battles my t25/at (turrent one) could barely do 1200 damage in one battle but in the new mode I could easily do 2000 damage, thanks to all enemies are more exposed than the former mode

[autumn mortar]

e

[jaunty remnant]

It’s even worst then pub matches. People camp in the corner doing nothing while the enemy team is full of 70% and 60%

[graceful cobalt]

I did 5k dmg
And I forgot about the rewards

[sullen niche]

some people just play this mode as they are new to the game, just stay there and shoot, after all the campers got higher damage, while the one actively got wrecked terribly

[dense vector]

Yeah

It’s even worst then pub matches. People camp in the corner doing nothing while the enemy team is full of 70% and 60%
@jaunty remnant Yeah i agree with you

[raven nymph]

i dont like this gamemode, wish we had something fun like gravity or mad games or even uprising

[south vine]

First a MAus who didnt know how to play his Maus then a Conway that shot once smh

[hushed hearth]

This makes total sense

[lost leaf]

Mode is worthless we get no exp or even credits for a win

[fallow ether]

Who cares u win or losing, the stats are not counting, just play for the fun and grind the tanks that are stock

[ember linden]

@rain fern why so? Why don't you like small maps?

@novel sentinel game modes are always the good opportunity to reach the experience and update stock tanks, that's normal

[graceful cobalt]

Where can we see how many battles we have fought? (In skirmish)

[novel sentinel]

@ember linden yeah i get that, but at the expense of credits, its not for me im out.

[bitter berry]

They don’t make game modes for you to grind credits

[wicked geyser]

Ah I'm loving this mode, I'm making less damage than usually but it's simpler to fight, I'm using this mode to grind exp with M103 and it's going well

I don't think so @rain fern, the teams at this mode are being much centralized in one of the sides, going through a less popular area is a way to flank effectively with less armored tanks

[rain fern]

@ember linden Small maps do not give room for maneuvers on all tanks. And head-on fishing with heavy tanks is impossible on absolutely all tanks. For example, Vickers has 325 meters of view. This is his main advantage. How can I realize it when there is no room for maneuvers. And also if I play suppose at level 8. I am thrown to the 9th level. I just can’t do anything on a small map against level 9, as they are simply better in performance. And big cards allow you to beat tanks, higher level, for example, maneuvers.

[green summit]

Players complained a lot over 0-7 / 7-0 games. Well, this mode certain fixed that.

[ember linden]

@graceful cobalt nowhere for now 😦 statistics doesn't collect somewhere for the game modes

@rain fern I've played this game mode on tier X and it feels fine to play on it. Probably some vehicles are less comfortable but you could change the tank you play at any time between battles. Also you've used to play on these tanks on the large maps and it was expected that first time you should feel some kind of uncomfortable or unusual

[iron hedge]

Maybe there should be like a small thing in the corner of your screen, like for events that track your wins, idk just a thought

[gentle dust]

Does Skirmish award more credits/tank EXP compared to a regular encounter battle?

[novel sentinel]

I dont like camper on this mode

[wraith hollow]

no one likes campers anywhere

[calm salmon]

I feel like it just gives the same amount of XP as normal battles would, but since there’s fewer enemies you earn lesser as well

[ember linden]

@gentle dust nope

[sterile vessel]

Skirmish is rigged, they gave me two tier 7 light tanks and the other team two tier 7 heavy tanks. The rest of their team was tier 8 heavies

[merry field]

ok ok ok ok ok listen. I may sound scummy but having an atgm in skirmish is op

[sterile vessel]

Also why are all the afk people in skirmish like wtf

[median folio]

this game mode is awkward

[gritty mural]

please keep skirmish for ever, or even better replace the normal mode with skirmish because skirmish is way better anyways, the small maps fit perfectly for this game, and the 2 lane design doesn't work at all in 7v7 anyways

[wicked geyser]

Guys, honestly Skirmish is my second favorite mode of the game, a 5 x 5 battle with small maps is way simpler and easier to get positions (the only bad part about it is some noobs calling you as camper for doing hulldown).

For me the best modes are
1st- Realistic mode
2nd- Skirmish
3rd- Uprising
4th- Battle ducks (only old players will remember)
5th- Mad Games

Unbalanced tiers? What do you mean about this? @steep talon

Depends in what tank and what ammo you are using, you won't have problems with penetration on a M103, but you'll have those problems on a RU 251 @steep talon

[steep talon]

Unbalanced tiers, rocket spamming and high view range ruins skirmish mode for most players. (Mostly low armor td)
Unbalanced tier i mean u get 3-4 higher tier in match and most likely it end with ricochet.

[spare crypt]

Skirmish is easy

[waxen rain]

light tanks in this mode are awesome.... you just have to wait for the enemy to mess up then punish hard.
this mode is actually skill dependent too, well at least for me.

[merry field]

yea especially the atgms

[graceful crown]

I prefer Uprising, ngl

[patent acorn]

Heavies that can take a lot of punishment also do much better

And seeing as the lights tend to do more damage than most mediums, mediums are pretty much useless unless they do something really cool

[gritty mural]

please keep skirmish for ever, or even better replace the normal mode with skirmish because skirmish is way better anyways,

the small maps fit perfectly for this game

the game feels like its designed for maps like in Skirmish mode, while the 2 lane design of the normal mode doesn't even work at all for blitz.

[wicked geyser]

Ok those ATGM spammers are broken at Skirmish

@stray widget @vital leaf @full cradle Only Uprising made a whole server get problems, imagine bigger maps or even 10 x 10 battles

[vital leaf]

Aight so we see what it’s like with less tanks on each team (5v5). So WG when we getting 10v10 hmm? And bigger maps 🙃

[stray widget]

Bigger maps would be nice for Regular.

[full cradle]

One big map for an event is what I want. Doesn’t have to be huge. But this mode sucks cause it’s just a camp fest and a brawl. You can’t really do anything creative or fun. People are afraid to move up so they camp. This is like a mode for low 40%ers

[sterile vessel]

Nah I shot a he shell at a m41 bulldog for 100 dmg, totally rigged because I was using Löwe. I would have won the game if it didn’t do that. Skirmish sucks and I would rather have mad games or any other gamemode. If you replaced the normal game with it I would quit the game, speaking to Bryan because I don’t know how you like it because when I play my is-3 there are a lot of areas I am trapped in where I can’t do anything but give up

[winter delta]

This mode is by far the worst

[empty jacinth]

If you got almost half 40%s players in random battles imagine here, im just getting all bots

[alpine narwhal]

The so called matching (or lack of matching) is an absolute joke in this mode!

[novel sentinel]

@alpine narwhal your matchmaking schtick is getting old. You need new material.

[wicked geyser]

@empty jacinth number of noobs on battles is the same, judge them, not the mode by it self

@winter delta why? Because of noobs? It's no mode's fault. Because of smaller maps? It's simpler to flank and easier to get positions

@sterile vessel if you don't know how to get your positions correctly, don't blame the mode

Matchmaking is 100% alleatory in every mode (unless in rankeds), blame the noobs instead of the mode @alpine narwhal

Salty guys complaining about matchmaker as like if it was the mode's fault, everyday the same history

[gritty mural]

please keep skirmish for ever, or even better replace the normal mode with skirmish because skirmish is way better anyways,

the small maps fit perfectly for this game

the game feels like its designed for maps like in Skirmish mode, while the 2 lane design of the normal mode doesn't even work at all for blitz.

[novel sentinel]

Who got all the rewards?
I got all 3 in 1h
10,20,30 wins
Huge container,avatar, camo

[merry field]

what rewards are there for skirmish

[winter delta]

This game mode is just stupid, the entire game is based on which spawn you are and there is no strategy except rush ! It makes lights and meds useless because of small map. When i say it’s bad, it is, there is no new mechanics like in mad games, gravity etc .... it’s made for the 45% and please wargaming don’t make only mode for you stupid player. Compared to other mods this one is just boring and it bring nothing new

[waxen wyvern]

This gamemode... blech. I rly dont like it. I doing decent in it, but when the enemy got a platoon 2x is-4 and being 65% wr player... yeah basically 0 chance to win. Same case with lower tier like two smashers against u....

[wicked geyser]

Actually there is more strategies than rush, the idea is team play, if one teammate die: the whole team is punished in a 5x4

Light and meds are actually much more useful but it's needed a way better sense of positions, since it's faster to flank but easier to get killed, heavies and TDs can get easily flanked and etc @winter delta

Ok, so you are judging the mode about how the tryhards abuse it and not the tryhards that actually do it, a bit hypocrital @waxen wyvern

Omg stop spamming this, we understood that you liked skirmish since the fourth time that you said that @gritty mural

[gritty mural]

please keep skirmish for ever, or even better replace the normal mode with skirmish because skirmish is way better anyways,

the small maps fit perfectly for this game

the game feels like its designed for maps like in Skirmish mode, while the 2 lane design of the normal mode doesn't even work at all for blitz.

[dense vector]

lol bad idea @gritty mural

[strong relic]

@wicked geyser Meds and lights are useless, spotting doesn't matter because after 30 seconds everyone is spotted and it's just a brawl. You don't need to worry about getting flanked because everyone is so concentrated. Also platoons are so easy to abuse with the small teams by both good and bad players, and it just ruins it for other people

@gritty mural If you think this is a good game mode then you are out of your mind, the games are terrible and so one dimensional.

[wispy ether]

if there is one thing i would change in this game mode, is the cap. a lot of my games have been people rushing the cap and either succeeding with a 1 minute game time, or losing 1 or 2 tanks in that same amount of time.

[sterile vessel]

Nobody helps the heavy tanks because they think they can do everything themselves, also @wicked geyser I don’t have the good pen gun yet so position does not matter if I still can’t do anything. I have the right to state my opinion and war gaming keeps bringing these boring game modes instead of the ones we actaully ask for.

[wicked geyser]

@strong relic honestly, I'm doing pretty well with my lights because I'm flanking correctly and smartly, just don't flank like a bot and you'll get it easy

@sterile vessel oh so your problem is penetration? Ok your fault, son, why do you judge modes based on a low penetration tank?

You have the right to have an opinion, even if it's based on fake news or based from a bad tank or bad actions from you

[pliant surge]

I’m enjoying this mode honestly

[hollow otter]

@sterile vessel The afk ppl are prolly in s Skirmish cause it doesnt affect their stats, so they can spam grind xp without losing more stats

[bright urchin]

Yall complain too much lol, i win more matches than i lose, ive only lost 3 times today so far.
Just use high maneuverable tanks and tanks with high dpm and you win, chances are your gonna out dpm them before they out dpm you.
You can also be sneaky if ur in a light tank, while your team fights the enemy team, you can just flank and provide a distraction so your team can push.

Im seeing more EU players complaining here then NA players lmao, sad.

[iron hedge]

Y’all know it’s legit if NA players are complaining less

[strong relic]

@wicked geyser You trying to say I'm playing like a bot? 🤦‍♀️ There isn't the space to flank at all every single game dissolves into a brawl in the centre of the map. The only way you get to flank is if the reds are morons and completely ignore you, and even then you would do better in a heavy

[sterile vessel]

@wicked geyser I’m just trying to grind the line, and they keep buffing other tanks but not is-3 not my fault it’s getting power creeped. You enjoy making others look like Idiots and that is annoying. Also I don’t judge the gamemode on the penetration, I judge it on if it’s actaully a good gamemode and this is just boring battles with people go afk and camping all of the time. Game modes like Mad games, uprising, and gravity force actaully have fun aspects to the game with power ups and low gravity. @bright urchin I am playing heavy tanks, so not good maneuverability or speed. The is-3 upgrades take a lot of xp to get.

[wicked geyser]

Bro the teams at this mode are so concentrated that you can flank just going to the other side of the map @strong relic

Hahahahahaha and people said that heavies are OP, Welp there is some hypocrisy. Or heavies are OP or they aren't @sterile vessel

Cuz it would be too much space for a battle mode that is meant to be fast and simple @sullen mortar

[barren nest]

I like Skirmish because it is literally just an opportunity to farm stuff and get free items.

[sullen mortar]

Skirmish = boring as hell.

Why not have full size maps for 5x5?

Also, toons need to be banned.

[sterile vessel]

@wicked geyser That sentence makes no sense and I would add a curse word to what I said if I could because of how annoying you are.

[strong relic]

@wicked geyser The other side of the map is blocked. It's literally one single lane fights. It's possible occasionally to get round the sides but then you are still close to the heavies or directly in front of them if they have spread out slightly.

[weak idol]

Simple answer if u don’t like playing skirmish then don’t play it, it’s pretty simple. No one is forcing u to play it , its just a game mode to play.

[patent acorn]

But I want the camo ;-;

The matchmaking is killing my wr right now i can't keep carrying when people just sit completely exposed and take damage

[deft rover]

alexandra has been playing wotb for a day lmfaop,havent played it but based on whats been told here,nothings changed,mm is shit,and most players are bots :DDDDDDD

[novel sentinel]

Once i saw 3 days

[twilit lake]

The capture speed is stupidly fast

[warm blaze]

cuz maps are small and easy to reset @patent acorn mode doesnt affec your stats anyway

[wicked geyser]

@sterile vessel ok so you started only blaming

All maps have nine sectors and only 3 of them are blocked, you have mid lane and the side lanes, simple @strong relic

Most of players aren't bots, they are just noobs as like in every other game @deft rover

Skirmish DON'T affect WR @patent acorn

Ok so what are you doing here? @deft rover

So I can't comment about your opinion? Nice sense of freedom you got here @sterile vessel

That's why I said to flank smartly, checking where is completely exposed and don't do it like a bot @strong relic

[strong relic]

@weak idol It had the potential to be great, it could have been 5v5 on the whole map so skills and tactics are much more valuable but instead it's the boring heavy brawls we have now. It could be so much better but WG missed out big time.

@wicked geyser It's roughly half the map not just one sector-width that is blocked, so no matter where you try and flank you will always get spotted and chances are you will run into a red or two as well

As soon as they know you are there (which is literally guaranteed) there will be someone coming towards you because there isn't the map space to stay hidden and unnoticed. The maps are so small you cannot control one side with movement, you have to control it with armour or much greater skill.

[sterile vessel]

@wicked geyser How did I start? You are the one who chose to talk crap about people to make them feel insecure about their comments. I was stating my opinion and you decided to comment on it.

[weak idol]

@strong relic it could of had more potential, maybe they could fix that later in da future lets hope.

[sharp drift]

everyone seems to think that this new mode is mad games. Literally everyone just yolo's and dies in minutes, doing no damage whatsoever, and with the teams being so much smaller, people dying like that immediately loses you the game. This mode is boring and annoying. Bring back gravity 😉

[wicked geyser]

@strong relic as like I said 78 times, the teams are usually extremely concentrated at one side, just going to a less popular area of this mode

[rain cipher]

Russian heavy tankers: If there was only a game mode where everyone was forced in a small confined space and funneled toward me... (Post below: The KV-1S is doing really well, as well as my IS-4 and IS-3.)

[bright urchin]

@sterile vessel yeah heavies dont too good in the gamemode ive found, unles ur in a tank that can brawl well lik a is4 or 252

[hushed hearth]

Yes, I shouldn’t care and get abused by premium tank players that say u shouldn’t play blitz because you just got a new tech tree tank. Like me in my fv301 with stock engine and a t28 defender says I suck because I’m stock. Duh. All tanks suck when they re completely stock. I said to the player” what’s the point of a game if there are no stock tanks?” The player said idk... wow

[autumn mortar]

its not as good as I thought it would be

[sharp drift]

yeah

[strong relic]

@wicked geyser That happens to be about 50m away from the concentrated side, and you can still do better in that situation with a heavy

[smoky raven]

I kinda like skirmish

[pastel temple]

@hushed hearth ironic as the FV301 is the best Tier 8 right now in the game

only two tanks have higher average stats and they’re heavies, which are more forgiving in terms of gameplay

but the 301 has a higher skill cap because of the mobility and firepower

[gentle gust]

Ive found that meds do really well. I've play 5 or so matched, and most were in my chimera, and I don't really have a problem doing well in it

[lapis saddle]

Rlly liked this mode fun to play jg e100 and e100 in it

[strong relic]

best tier 8 med does well in 5 games
every med must do well over a respectable sample size
🤦‍♀️

[iron hedge]

Can I just comment on the video Blitz posted? The video says “how to play” but it doesn’t give any actual insight on useful tactics, only facts about the game mode

[solemn sapphire]

F

[small trout]

This is skirmish
@wild path have u tried carrying?

[wicked geyser]

@strong relic light tanks aren't easy to play at all, it's much easier to play a tank that you don't need to worry about enemy damage

[full cradle]

Skirmish mode is trash. It’s boring. You really can’t go anywhere. The caps are annoying. It basically takes all the bad things about blitz and puts them in one mode. This mode is meant for 40%ers who only know how to drive forward and shoot. The game is just one ugly brawl. More space is better than less space cause in more space you can get creative and do more stuff, you know like going around the enemy instead of mindlessly driving forward. And this mode makes players camp cause they know they gonna get shot if they peak so they just sit

[novel sentinel]

Rip

[iron hedge]

I tried carrying but if the game puts you up with a platoon of r2k clowns two times in a row, then forget it. Wargaming still can’t match players evenly. ( or won’t to cherish their sweethearts 😂)
@wild path as far as I know the matchmaker is based on the tanks used, not the players

[wicked geyser]

It's based on the tank type (light, medium, heavy and TD) and on tier (not more than 1 tier higher than the bottom tier)

There is a max number of lights and TDs on higher tier and only this @iron hedge

[empty jacinth]

@wild path i agree with the post of the screenshot

[normal bay]

just got 10 victories

[pearl breach]

only two tanks have higher average stats and they’re heavies, which are more forgiving in terms of gameplay
@pastel temple which 2?

[hybrid storm]

Tried playing skirmish mode in asia server. Met afk botters back to back in my team. Too much fun...

[proper spade]

What a meaningless mode
Makes it impossible to win with 1-2 newbs in a team. Its even more team-dependant than normal mode which is (at current state) a very dumb idea. Sorry WG but you can do better than that.

[long jewel]

played the foch, ez claps

[steel quail]

Not a fan of this mode. Too many players sitting in a corner screaming at eachother. One side always seems to be the counter to the other. (One team will be full of heavy hitting derps against a team made of tanks that are 1-2 shots in a closed map where you can't really flank. Or it'll be slow tanks with no gd against a speed team on a map loaded with hills for easy flanking but no good cover.

[short silo]

Kinda feel like a jerk man ain’t even get to play at all that game

[stone sage]

This mode kinda bad.

@steel quail this isn't happening with me. I make the calls, and they help...

[novel sentinel]

Is anyone else lagging while playing this mode? Also the maps are so small if a tank gets stuck in a 1v2-1v3 it will lose because it can't run and reset camo. If a team loses 2-3 people it's almost guarantee the other team will win. And in yamato harbor the one with half dirt half city. The people on the city end has the advantage because they have more cover and the people on dirt have none. Granted the people on dirt can cap and city has to leave to stop it but if enemy team has even just ONE action X or smasher they have 80% chance of winning. It's kinda rigged. What if enemy team has vk 100.01 (P) platoon? They win! It's just quite rigged. But I would take this game mode over realistic tbh. But I want gravity force/uprising! Please!

Lagging? Man.. my fps drops wildly 😄 ping is 50 max loss 0% but fps... better to no comment that

@novel sentinel

It have less ping. 50ping or less

I SUGGEST TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH 10VS10

[barren nest]

ok

[sacred shell]

Idk y u guys complain about skirmish. U can grind tanks without trashing stats

[novel sentinel]

Camping on skirmish doesn't work. If u camp, even on TD's be sure you Will lose.

Instead of skirmish make is a big skirmish like 10v10

[little slate]

@sacred shell I also use modes to grind tanks but this one is slow to grind because there isn’t as much XP available and there are games where a platoon can rush into a cap and win on cap with everyone doing like 2 shots of damage or less

[unborn fog]

@novel sentinel good? I don’t want camping potatos on my team

[twin acorn]

Will the event go off at certain times like ratings?

[fiery sky]

No, it’ll be open all day all night till July 14 @twin acorn

[cobalt girder]

The two sides of Skirmish

[novel sentinel]

how did you get 109k

[lusty viper]

highest credit coefficient at tier 8
3.6k damage
Low shell cost
Watched ad for extra goodies
4 kills

Yeah, not surprised

[wicked geyser]

Night has arrived and it's time for more 5 X 5 battles

[shrewd palm]

Who played skirmish imma play later on

[sterile vessel]

Skirmish is rubbing off on regular battles, I was by myself with but 2 heavies came with me but just hid behind cover while I was getting killed

[sullen wave]

Hope this mode makes WG realize that the key to more fun and balanced games are MORE players, not less. I desperately want a “grand” battle mode, following the idea of this mode. 10v10 or even 12v12 on only the largest maps in the game (Canal, Canyon, Rockfield, Oasis Palms, Winter Malinovka, Normandy). That would be an absolute blast.

[agile trail]

My only issues with this mode is the 2 maps on the centre of Yamato Harbour, they're not balanced as the team in the city wins most times, but other than that I love it!

[wicked geyser]

1st- do you remember when Uprising and minigame of christmass broken the servers? Yeah, 10 x 10 is like it but much worse

2nd- Skirmish is meant to be a fast and dynamical mode, you just didn't get the reason of the game mode by it self @sullen wave

3rd- more players = more matchmaking time

[atomic cloak]

It’s a new game mode, it’s about adapting or adjusting your play/tactics

[novel sentinel]

@novel sentinel

It have less ping. 50ping or less

I SUGGEST TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH 10VS10
@still mesa a LOT of people who play blitz have potato devices so their devices would not be able to support 10v10. So it would just be unfair to have something not everyone can participate in.

[wicked geyser]

Yep, if you guys want a 10 vs 10 go play WOT instead of WOTB

[twilit lake]

The only thing I like is that stats aren’t ruined, so I can’t complain about bad teammates because it doesn’t matter

[atomic cloak]

Well what makes it rough is your avg or below avg players will do even worse in a new mode

[mystic egret]

It's a decent mode. Not bad or good. It's just as fun as realistic but not as good as uprising/gravity/mad games. I do thank wg for trying something new. I can grind stock tanks in this mode 👌

[novel sentinel]

@mystic egret I 100% agree with you dude.

[novel sentinel]

Realistic for me is the best mode. It's fun having to spot enemy tanks by yourself

[civic swift]

This mode is actually pretty fun imo

[novel sentinel]

Lol it's funny when the game matched two non platoom kv2s and they already have 2 su122s platoon. 😂

[bright wadi]

if anyone has dmax its really good in skirmish for hulldown

[barren nest]

I’m not using something that gets nuked by someone’s 152 HE

[primal trench]

I had about 60% of all my tier 5 battles in skirmish involving KV-2s because I only have a Chi-Nu (the only tier 5) on my other account

[willow gulch]

Heh. And I won that game

[strong night]

what does the camo look like?

[faint pagoda]

@strong night Like this

[full cradle]

10v10 isn’t that much more than 7v7. And I’d wait 20 more seconds in queue and lower settings if I really had to. But this 5v5 is absolute garbage. If it’s 10v10 though they should make a slightly bigger map. If wargaming implemented this most players would like it. People say go play pc but why should what pc does limit what mobile does? Why can’t mobile give players something similar to pc, not that it would even be that similar

[twilit lake]

So why is skirmish opened all day but the other modes aren’t, I don’t see why they keep the unpopular gamemode all day instead of the popular ones

My personal favourite is uprising, extremely fun to play and makes you rich easily, I thought gravity mode was a bit irritating to play because of the fast shooting tanks

[novel sentinel]

They really need to bring back gravity mode

[jaunty remnant]

Bring back gravity mode by August or we all uninstall :).

[novel sentinel]

This "event/ mode" was too ez. 30 wins in less than 2hrs. Gimme another one 😄

[winter quiver]

i love the skirmish for a day only.

[pearl breach]

@sullen wave you wish more 10-0, 1-10 games?

So why is skirmish opened all day but the other modes aren’t, I don’t see why they keep the unpopular gamemode all day instead of the popular ones
@twilit lake EXACTLY

[sullen wave]

0-10 games would happen MUCH less than 0-7 games.

[coral ibex]

It would be better than pc because no wheelies, arty, broken prem spam, completely useless tech tree tanks, less people using aimbot.

[primal trench]

Imagine 10v10 on WoTB's (kinda) small maps

[left spade]

No

[shut prism]

Skirmish with gravity mode ?

[old gust]

Can the wins be seperate but add up to 10 or all consecutive?

[vital leaf]

Separate, also the chances of seeing 10-0 games are far less then how often I keep seeing 5-0 games... like consecutively getting those games smh.

[distant ingot]

played atleast 45 battles, and everyteam i have been in i had really bad teams. Its as if the other players just avoided this mode.

[alpine narwhal]

Perhaps war gaming like the drama that’s why they made this mode,they must have tested it first! It would be better if it was just meds & lights then you could say it is a true skirmish mode...Try tier 5-6 guys, thats more fun.
Also if you want to grind tanks use supremacy as you’ll get more xp. from the extra tanks you could hit & remember your win rate is only subjective to the other players you’re put with or face! 😁

[low prawn]

what are the prize from the skirmish?

[cobalt light]

10 wins big crate 20 wins an avatar and 30 wins time tested camo @low prawn

[stable rain]

How do I can get part of this map?

[tender geyser]

This gamemode should be permament

[ember linden]

@stable rain what do you mean?

[stable rain]

I wanna play this mode/map

[novel sentinel]

Wich one?

[atomic cloak]

One thing you guys gotta realize about this mode. Wg made it where even if you get dead rail twice, you will get a different section of the map. This creates a fresh challenge, and keeps players guessing. Its a great challenge as you must adapt and decide tactics at the spur of the moment. Great idea WG! 👍

[steady spindle]

Tfw my toonmate and I just run two heavies and cap the base in about 30 seconds

[quartz tree]

@stable rain This button then u press the gamemode on the far right

[thin blade]

Why can’t we open our game without it crashing?

[ember linden]

@thin blade our technical specialists are investigating the issue

[thin blade]

@ember linden But now it has glitched my whole device and now none of my application will open. And I’m nervous someone can get my personal information bcz of this.

[copper rain]

I hope you realize that in the tournaments for skirmish
it's only gonna be mauses, IS4s and E5s

[young laurel]

My game crashed,pls fix WG

[novel sentinel]

People still crying about skirmish? I have two options for those: learn how to play, or don't play it. I'm liking this mode. The battles are way faster than 7vs7. I'm learning to engage better the enemy team in skirmish battles. I'm sure when i go play regular battles again, i will perform better, because in skirmish, u have to think fast, flank fast, do every move fast, if u hesitates to do something, this can mean you will lose. There's something that u can learn in this mode and apply in random battles. As i said, i'm loving It.

[novel sentinel]

why do you guys write a para about people who doesnt like skirmish, if they dont like dont play it no need to waste your time on writing a long para

[digital crystal]

i like the New game mode
but i have a couple of suggestions that i hope will be implemented
In the mere future for this game mode

• Dis allow platooning
  Meadsy was right, Seeing double smashers against
  stock tanks is a bit unfair.
  And wich leads me to the Second suggestion i have.
• Only allow stock tanks
  I honestly don't get the whole point of allowing fully upgraded tanks in this
  game mode, I thought the whole point of having this mode is to
  Learn and Grind Tanks that you have just bought. That said Having Fully upgraded tanks against Stock tanks is unfair for those who actually try and grind.

[ashen mesa]

Reeeeeee wot blitz is crashing

[safe cove]

IOS? #game-status-upd

[novel sentinel]

@digital crystal I 100% agree with the stock vs max tanks being unfair. But the skirmish mode isn’t just about grinding modules and maxing your tank, it’s learning how to play more effectively with your team, and learning how to play on multiple spots on a map. Plus, even in pubs ratings tourneys your still gonna see stock tanks vs max tanks so I don’t see why that should be changed

[amber oasis]

Anybody complaining about Skirmish is taking it too seriously. It’s supposed to be fast and fun. The stats don’t count so there is no reason to be salty. Grinding XP is not the point or purpose even though some people do, including me.

[scenic badge]

I use it for grinding credits

[barren nest]

I’m mad that people can purposely troll their own teammates in Skirmish tho.

[earnest jay]

This game mode is going to be really handy for grinding my FV301 🙂.

[oak badge]

This game mode is fun but its aggravating plus my friends game keeps lagging so bad it crashs his game so he cant play and its not always fun like uprising or gravity force please understand I like these limited time game modes its just that skirmish and realistic are hard to play and its more fun to play gravity force and uprising or mad games

[novel sentinel]

My guy people are rushing with heavy tank

[fiery sky]

@azure dock is the super conk in the shop or is it still in testing?

[hearty niche]

It’s out

The only thing i can say negatively about this mode is the amount of times people have capped out. I think cap should be removed

[wild path]

Agreed

people who are grinding the t95

[next mason]

Agreed

[vital leaf]

True, though that doesn’t change me wanting 10v10 lol. Also ppl complain about lights and meds being useless but I find that spotting and getting assisted damage has become much easier now because of how concentrated the enemy is (especially if you get there quickly in like a bat chat. Also also it’s more important than ever to have a tank that can get to cap either to capture or defend the base.

[fiery sky]

Mobility is nice in the smaller areas. One tank being able to flank while the enemy is distracted can make a difference and cause the enemy team to crumble. Also the medium/light could just accidentally yolo because the map is so small and it’s a 50-50 chance of wether there’s an enemy there. Let’s just say that I’m glad this does not count for any of our stats and I’m also glad military honor cannot be messed up here either. Sometimes something works, but sometimes it don’t.

[wicked geyser]

@vital leaf bro there will be never a 10 x 10, it would give problems to the server as like uprising did and would have a giant matchmaking time because there will be more players in a battle and less players on the matchmaking ( number of players on different modes is always lower than the number of players on normal battles)

Also, if you want a 10 x 10 you can play World of Tank, there is even more than just 10 players in each team and bigger maps, also much more tanks and nations

Skirmish meant to be a fast and simpler mode than normal battles, as like wotb is a fast and simpler WOT

Also let's be honest, most of the maps of blitz are too small for 20 players (and devices from third world countries are too weak for this)

[vital leaf]

All very true @wicked geyser but one can dream

[wicked geyser]

Yeah you right

[strong kayak]

hmmm wg should put skirmish in tournaments now...its pretty frun NGL.
Like 1 week ascent then 1 week skirmish...or 1 month.Obviously do this when theres no MAJOR/Pro tour going on

[oblique bison]

seems like you have a 70% shot to win if you have x2 but once you win the x2 you get put into the 70% loose MM

[fallow ether]

what a dmg

[vital leaf]

Oof that enemy team

[stone sage]

I did a pew pew

[spring onyx]

is this how we should play this mode!??!!? seriously what is the porpuse of this mode!?... its snowballing so hard when 1 team mate is gone, i also saw a 2mausplatoon capping so easy.. there was no chance to win this game...
worst mode ever :/

[near sorrel]

Skirmish is too team-dependant. Change my mind

[oblique bison]

just yolo and collect xp

[full cradle]

I love how people complain about the queue times for a 10v10. It’s gonna be like 20 more seconds if that. I also like how people start making claims like the server cant handle it when they have 0 information on the servers capabilities and what 10v10 would do to the servers. If someone makes a suggestion, why do people with no real information think that the suggestion can’t be done. It’s like there is a group of naysayers in this discord that whenever someone makes a suggestion, even a good one, they always try to find reasons for why it can’t be done. If it’s a good idea or wish let wargaming decide it’s possible.

[spring onyx]

collecting ep... lol! less tanks, less hp, less damage.. game duration is 2 minutes maximum, how are you able to get much exp per round!?!?

[rain notch]

By winning

[brazen tusk]

Could the MORONS come up with a worse game mode

[civic swift]

This gamemode is cool, some tanks just aren't meant for the smaller map size

[winged mural]

"tired of random allies"? - Ribble. Yeah. I'm tired of random allies. Tired of them throwing their tanks away and leaving me to try and carry an impossible win in position that my tank just isnt suited for, with multiple enemies closing in from different directions

[mystic egret]

[novel sentinel]

They should remove base cap

[tulip nebula]

Good mode of game play IF you have the right type of tank coupled with having a tank that is NOT bottom tier ie T5. I'd stick at it IF repairs did not cost me so much. Then again I am novice / noob at this game. To me this mode is like T1 vs T5, suicidal instead we have T5 vs T10 lol

[cobalt girder]

Despite popular belief, you can cap.

[mystic egret]

Right, i mean that is why some people like myself have suggested removing cap. if you scroll up a bit

[novel sentinel]

Just use 5 maus in qt ez dubs and put them in cap

[stone sage]

Lmao me and the Sentinel just went in cap and won because all reds camped in the corner of map.

[patent acorn]

I'm so glad I finished skirmish 🙏

[lapis iris]

And this is why Skirmish is so nice. Your win rate isn’t sunk by incompetent bots 😂

[eager lantern]

Lmao

[fading crater]

Anyone else notice the extra speed in cap timer?

[pliant surge]

Yep

[alpine narwhal]

Thats how its supposed to be if you read the info.

[sterile vessel]

They should make it so there’s a storm like in fortnite and it forces you to fight closer, because most people just stay in the spawn

[vague kindle]

Nah

[spark stirrup]

no, the maps are already small enough, in my opinion that would make a most TDs almost irrelevant (especially ones without turrets) as they'd have to continuously focus on moving around instead of taking good positions (even on the reduced map size) and mediums and lights would struggle a lot more because they'd just have to face a heavy without really being able to rotate

tl;dr having a storm like fortnite in my opinion is literally just gonna make heavies the best class in the gamemode and all other classes are going to struggle more

[shrewd palm]

Bro skirmish is fire.

[lime pawn]

fortnite 🤮

[elder python]

If you don't like the mode don't play it...

[patent acorn]

No but the BR mode is an actual bad idea

[weak quiver]

This mode does get boring rather quickly and shows the lack of any ability in the player base. Skirmish has no charm to it and is just an excuse for yolo garbage. In my last three games I had a TD drive into water to drown right at spawn, an AFK platoon and several one shot yolos. That is my opinion and if you feel differently then enjoy the mode.

[patent acorn]

Yeah it sucked but I got a chest, a bullet bill avatar, and some camo so I didn't ENJOY it but it gave some stuff
Ergo I played it anyways

[novel sentinel]

The mode...is not that existing as the others...
But i got the Pershing tier 8 thanks to the crate tho so it's something

[sterile vessel]

We play it because we want the rewards, I’m just saying if the players were forced to get closer instead of camping it would be more fun..

[willow gulch]

There’s been several games were my team just completely ignores the cap; or there stuck in a fight; and I’m forced to stop whatever I’m doing and just yolo into the cap in front of all the enemies because I can’t get a shot off at whoever is capping . I manage to reset the cap, but now I have 5 or 4 enemies firing at me and I can’t do nothing about it. And then 1/5 of our teams firepower just disappears from the game. The cap just goes way to fast.

[twilit lake]

The cap is too fast

[willow gulch]

@twilit lake agreed. I think the cap should go at the normal encounter battles speed.

[south spire]

disagree, it should be shorter :)

[sacred shell]

It takes less than 30 sec to go from end to end, it shouldn’t take 1:30 to cap

[civic swift]

I find I do better with TDs on skirmish than regular

[earnest jay]

Light tanks are better on skirmish than I thought they would be... did an RU and T49 platoon and carried a match while bottom tier

[mystic egret]

Bruh why are people wanting fortnite and such at blitz go play those games instead lol

[twilit lake]

Ewwww stop

[civic swift]

Playing skirmish actually benefits players and newer people too. There was just some places I would never go in the map with my tank and now Ive found some good places to go in regular battles

[rain cipher]

Same here

[tepid hound]

I agree

[sullen niche]

bad teammates just burn my credit in skirmish

[eager prism]

I cannot really play this mode tbh, its just a bit too hard to play

[full cradle]

What I hate about the mode the most is the Yamato harbor sideways maps, they are so narrow and make it hard to play a medium tank in.

[novel sentinel]

Bruh skirmish mode is too fast i need new mode :V

[novel sentinel]

Maps are too small in this game mode, heavies are too dominant there

[rare thorn]

What about people who run towards the enemy spawn and die ,then laugh cz they don't care .

[sullen mortar]

Most boring mode ever. Nothing interesting here.

[mighty lily]

It's as if another company made a knock of version of Blitz

[tall cave]

this is why its bs

[worn eagle]

@tall cave n @rancid pelican . This is why Skirmish Battles RocK ..!! 🤠

[dull glen]

nah this mode sucks

[lusty viper]

^^^ It's basically regular battles but people don't care enough to try and win since it doesn't affect stats. At least with Uprising, Mad Games, and Gravity Mode there were new mechanics to take advantage of. This is simply normal battles with worse teams.

[novel sentinel]

its literally normal battles dumbed down

[frank meadow]

They made a world of tanks blitz gamemode that’s basically a random battle except teams are, somehow, even worse.

[novel sentinel]

I use it for stock grinding

Tbh i don't like this mode i prefer mad games

y is everyone salty because they lose much

[agile remnant]

This game mode makes all the game mechanics and map design irrelevant.
Useless and not funny mode to me.

[tepid canyon]

I truly like this mode because its: (1) mostly pvp testing your basic battle skills; (2) you eyeing all your team and their team testing your tactic/map awareness skills, (3) mostly eliminates that guy who circled entire map to see your rears and free damages your team so no skill required

Overall, this mode tests your pvp/tactical skills with less factor of pure luck-based flanking going unnoticed.

The mode also reveals noobs in your team right away. I'd even say its a noob unfriendly mode - because on bigger maps a noob can hide his low aptitude behind better team. in this mode such chance is way lower.

I really appreciate skirmish - due to its skills preference over pure luck factor.

P.S. additional thing I drag the most in regular battle - if your team losing you just have to prolong your play for 7 long minutes. Otherwise the skirmish mode shows your team quality faster thus saves your time to see a new round fast

And last but not least point - a good player has higher chance to carry game fighting against 5 than 7 opponents)) so TRUE skill prevails, again

[rancid knot]

anyone wanna play skirmish?

[summer sigil]

which server ?

[dense vector]

That why i don't like sometimes skirmish, this guy camped here for the whole game

[silver lodge]

It’s not really the mode’s fault that person is a moron

[dense vector]

ik sadly we cant report them

[steep talon]

@dense vector u can always make ticket

[cobalt girder]

But it is a game mode that will eventually begone until whenever

[oblique bison]

im getting a 80% win rate on tanks that have X2 but after i get that first win im getting 80% loss on same tanks. 2 days in a row. only playing about 100 matches a day

[spring onyx]

30 wins just to get time tested camo.. but its no mode to enjoy. wg should implement a tutorial guide to give players the opportunity to learn how this game works... its hard and less fun atm...

[calm salmon]

Not a very good looking camo imo. It’s ok for me that the better rewards take fewer battles to obtain

[twilit lake]

What a boring camo

[pliant surge]

Looks really good on some tanks imo

[manic locust]

skirmish mode should have reduced heavy tank view range by like 15%

[novel sentinel]

Bring back Mad Games
This mode sucks

[sterile vessel]

@mystic egret If you read my message then you would understand that I wanted something that forces you to fight closer instead of camping, not necessarily that I wanted fortnite things. @mystic egret it can be a wall not a cloud or something else like spikes. No because everyone sits at the end of each map in the spawns and fights like a td, I have played multiple battles where people do it. If you avoid that you can’t win?! Also when war gaming made an announcement about skirmish they said they wanted it to be a mode with close encounters battles not sniping at everyone. Well it doesn’t have to be a wall, you could make it like get out of a certain area or you get instant death or slowly die. Also if stats were affected by skirmish, my win rate would have decreased by a lot by now and FORTNITE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TANKS. One last thing, the game isn’t supposed to be easy bud.

[snow bane]

Skirmish is basically World of Tanks Blitz Blitz

[mystic egret]

@sterile vessel right. Like bring a cloud like in fortnite to make everyone come close. Yeah okay XDDD
The maps are already small. That is very unnecessary. Then avoid those parts. Its not hard. Lmao its fine as it is. You are just making it hard for yourself. Play fortnite for that then. If you say so. Ig everyone should just play heavies then. And if you have low hp and play more conservative then you are punish too. Cool. This game is ez. Its not hard to get a 60 wr and decent average damage. But this is skirmish, stats don't count as well.

[vague kindle]

It's going to he hard to add a WALL that moves into the game isn't it?

[stable gorge]

yes its also impractical you want to force light tanks to brawl when they good at spotting then camping a little and farming damge. The maps are already small enough. It would be more useful to have more than 2 maps we play on then make a kill wall that will yeet any tanks on low hp. The maps always had a stale playing style always. @sterile vessel

[sterile vessel]

Hi! I’m just gonna sit behind this rock for the entire game 😄 this is my point people like this who don’t even try to help. I want to get rid of these people is my point. @mystic egret so I suppose if the heavy tanks are brawling then we should just let them both get obliterated by each other’s td? Also the person in the picture didn’t even do the job of a td is what I’m trying to get across your brain. They just sat here and watched everyone else do the work.

[novel plank]

hmm, i wonder if brawling with hevs in a paper tank is a good idea...

[mystic egret]

Oh no! A td with paper armor is doing his jobs as td. He should've just brawl with tiger II and Is3s. Face hug them too. What a camper. I agree. He should be punish with a fornite wall. For doing his job @sterile vessel you can always guess where the tds are going be at ( it's not that hard). If you want all meatheads brawling . Then skirmish should be heavies only. Instead of adding this battle royale wall. every player is different. Some are good some are bad get that in your head.

[pseudo torrent]

How to play a light tank in a nutshell: Camp at the back of the map

[vague kindle]

Idk if you know it already but TD means Tank Destroyer and are meant to give back support at the Teammates why would u brawl with a paper tank?

[hardy compass]

Just cap the base lol

[weak bluff]

@mystic egret bruh he probably isn’t even a good player
Probably just a below average player shaming others

[sterile vessel]

Watch the flippin skirmish video that WAR GAMING OFFICIAL CHANNEL posted and it shows everyone CLOSE together. https://youtu.be/W7rllS3KDMc That’s how they wanted you to play but nobody gets that. Also how does that have to do with what I’m saying @weak bluff ? I’m talking about nobody playing skirmish how they should play skirmish, lights are not scouting, heavies sitting around close to spawn. HOW IS IT THAT BAD TO SHAME THEM IF THEY SIT IN SPAWN AND THEY ARN’T A TD?!

[stable gorge]

@sterile vessel wait i Seen a Video of people putting super glue in there mouth. Are we supposed to do that? If you want brawling it would be better to only have heavys. And make it more of a flat map where it’s not so heavy based on spawns.

[mystic egret]

@sterile vessel bruh. First off all you showed us a TD " camping " instead of a heavy. Not saying there isn't heavies like that. Still, I think the best idea for it to be will be meatheads brawling. It should be all heavy armor tanks. Heavies, some TDs, some mediums ( better than the fortnite wall) . But at the end of the day. who cares it doesn't influence your stats. I still think its a fun game mode to grind stock tanks or just play for fun and not worry about your stats (:

[full cradle]

A fornite wall lmao. Who had that genius idea. Skirmish mode already sucks cause you got a bunch of people together in way too close. If you don’t like more space then your dumb. Space is what allows mediums to do their job. If there is no space then it’s all heavys and that would be boring,

[foggy plover]

E25 is a lot of fun in this mode because I don't have to worry about any pesky derps behind, and I can just bully the slower tanks

[sterile vessel]

Also if you want a stupid picture you can have one. You are making me out to be a criminal by stating my opinion that war gaming SHOULD change things so it is like their video. You can see two heavy tanks here sitting in the spawn while the tank destroyer is up here? Not very cool of the heavy tanks to be back there and the tank destroyer up here. War gaming should change this so there are just heavies so we can brawl like in the video then if that’s how you would prefer. Also this chat cooldown is pretty annoying for a discussion chat. If you are tired of me then just ignore me, it’s that simple.

[vague kindle]

Nice rng he had

[mystic egret]

@sterile vessel the way i said it is better than a fortnite wall. And i did say there is heavies like that. I mean they are everywhere 🤣 plus it doesn't hit your stats. So why be so clinge to it? Not everything is going be like in the video. You would know that by now lol

[stable gorge]

Not every can figure out how to move tanks. You get 38% in super conq in that game mode. They where pushing but also not into a smart area. The maps are very stale after 10 games you get bored of only seeing 3 maps. I would rather play normal because it opens up the map to have more fun in less armour tanks rather than this mode where you need a nice thick tank. For me the gameplay becomes stale fast just like the map parts.

[weak bluff]

@sterile vessel ur dumb If you think the trailer is gonna tell you how it’s gonna be

[mystic egret]

I mean, every other game has cinematic trailers and such. And the game never plays like that. You would know that by now

[stray widget]

@sterile vessel You cant expect the trailer to show how the battles are supposed to be. There are some players who dont know how to play Skirmish the right way, but that doesnt mean its the end of the world, because it doesnt count towards your stats.
If you have problems with Skirmish, just dont play it. That's simple.
@weak bluff is right.

Dang the blitz community is full of d heads. you ever hear what an opinion is you imbeciles? I’m tired of this conversation so stop.
@sterile vessel no u, you brought this up, so we comment what we think is best.

[sterile vessel]

Dang the blitz community is full of d heads. you ever hear what an opinion is you imbeciles? I’m tired of this conversation so stop. Bud I told you to ignore me if you saw one of the messages above. I’m trying to play the game and you’re blowing up my phone with messages. Also because I have asked you to stop, if you keep bothering me then that is considered a form of harassment.

[barren nest]

@sterile vesselYou made a public statement. Actually no, you made mulitple statements inside a chat with hundreds of people.

Why are you surprised that people are actually responding? Even if you're playing the game, you can just... turn off notifications for discord...

Reply: It's a little too late to say that. You kinda dug yourself into this situation. I recommend the block button.

[sterile vessel]

Yes, but I have asked you to stop. Please be considerate of my feelings and a opinion is not actaully changing the thing. So we do not have to continue this anymore.

[novel plank]

Just letting you know, you aren't obligated to respond to anyone here. You can just ignore all of us and mute this channel or smth if you want this to "stop".

[sterile vessel]

I blocked everyone who was rude to me. I know I’m not obligated to respond but I just want to.

[lusty viper]

Dang the blitz community is full of d heads. you ever hear what an opinion is you imbeciles?
@sterile vessel you ever hear what an opinion is you imbecil? You do realize that people can have different opinions right? It's not like you're the only one who can speak their mind here.

Whenever someone tries to say "I have the right to free speech" when they're receiving backlash, I always tell them this:

Yes you do have the right to say what you want to say. However, that doesn't mean you're free from receiving criticism or consequences for what you said. We respect your right to say whatever you said, but that doesnt mean we have to listen to it or give it the time of day.

[spark stirrup]

tl;dr make a controversial statement, don't expect everyone to agree with you

[alpine narwhal]

I mean how on earth were we supposed to win this!? 🙄

[peak adder]

@alpine narwhal C'mon, don't tell you have just switched the channel

[mystic egret]

If you make a dumb post, people will reply :v you kept defending it blind. Ofc people will continue to talk. If you didn't want people to keep going. Maybe you should've have stopped long ago. Anyways, we shall all leave him alone and continue to talk about skirmish.

[iron hedge]

@sterile vessel are we not allowed to have our own opinions? And who are you to tell us what to do?

I don’t know how you don’t understand that all of wargaming trailers are the opposite of what they say

https://media.tenor.com/images/84910563686a3634809db115d4c7ee54/tenor.gif

[mystic egret]

Just leave the guy alone. I also wish this mode had more maps

[civic swift]

Lighter armored TDs don't have to be directly in front of the enemy but they can still be near by. While two heavies are brawling it out, the TD can move up and provide fire and just pop back behind a building. Personally I just have a really aggressive playstyle with TDs; no matter what TD I'm in, I'm not too far from the combat and it works

[sterile vessel]

I have muted this channel and if you dm me about this I will block you (┐「ε:)

[warm blaze]

This battle mode is best for high dpm tanks

[novel sentinel]

^debatable

[novel plank]

Just leave the guy alone. I also wish this mode had more maps

Yeah, i think its hard to find smaller versions of current maps that are balanced tho. Thats my opinion tho

This battle mode is best for high dpm tanks

I mean, probably depends on the situation, dpm has its place tho. Also my opinion.

[dense vector]

T30 can still be in frontline, if he can do hulldown with his armored turret

[mystic egret]

I played my T30 like i did as a T34. Just more cautious. I wish i still had it. It would be a very good tank for this mode imo

[sand nest]

the caps speed is so annoying

[unborn fog]

I really like this mode but just wish I didn’t land on a different version of Yamato harbour every time

[wraith igloo]

Map variety is effectively 0, in the trailer I remember tanks playing on normandy? Yet normandy is not in the rotation

[cobalt girder]

I wish there were more maps

[open loom]

skirmish + stay = happy community

[stable gorge]

skirmish + stay = happy community
@open loom only if they added more maps now it’s just Yamato and desert sands that’s what I see. That’s my biggest complaint is not enough maps.

[iron hedge]

I think every map has potential to be played in skirmish. You could get at least one nice map out of all the current maps

[open loom]

@stable gorge that isnt the problem of the mode, its the cap

[stone sage]

We got a pro IS-6 Tunneling a rock

[novel plank]

@stable gorge that isnt the problem of the mode, its the cap
ngl i was gonna complain about the cap speed etc, but then again it seems pretty balanced to me.
The problem is when ur halfway across the map and they got three tanks in the cap, whilst ur teammates are doing their own thing. Then again, you can't change how people play @open loom

[oblique bison]

the cap speed is there to encourage both teams to get to the cap quick and fight. if yall camp its on you

[novel sentinel]

Cap speed is to fast

[safe cove]

what if i told you, you can cap too

[harsh breach]

Lights are totally useless in this mode since no rotations or flanking maneuvers can be made. On every single map, if you have 2 perfectly placed tds you can totally stop the entire battle as you lock every single alley. Overall in my opinion it is the worst "fun" mode out of all of them.

[eager lantern]

To be honest, the only aspect I like about this mode is that it doesn't affect stats. Everything else is meh.

[mystic egret]

^^^pretty much. I mean its ok. Its not bad. But i rather play anything else.
My list goes like this
1 uprising
2 gravity mode
3 mad games
4 realistic
5 skirmish.

[nimble mesa]

^^^^^ i'd put mad games over gravity, but that's just because gravity kinda makes me dizzy

[lusty viper]

^^^ I 100% agree with this. Skirmish is just regular battles with worse teams. Realistic is different but gets really boring. Gravity mode is like realistic in that it's different but it takes longer to get bored. Mad Games is just plain fun. Uprising is literally just a better version of Mad Games.

My list:

Uprising
Mad Games
Gravity
Realistic
Skirmish

[full cradle]

Gravity mode in a vk100 or maus is the most fun hands downs

[iron hedge]

To be honest, the only aspect I like about this mode is that it doesn't affect stats. Everything else is meh.
@eager lantern I definitely agree with you, but I do think it helps with learning how to play certain tanks in different positions. On Desert Sands-Dunes, for example. I learned a gem of a position that gives me shots directly in front of me, into the enemy’s TD area, and into the lights and meds area, all while having hard cover to hide behind during a reload

[eager lantern]

@iron hedge yeah, I'm not saying it's not useful to figure out where some good spots are on a map. However, some more experience players may have already known about these positions. Hence, it's not much of an experience for them. It doesn't help that some lights or mediums are useless on the heavy side of the maps where they can't flank or spot.

[wheat moat]

Do skirmish's count to record?

[iron hedge]

@wheat moat No, they do not

[shrewd palm]

@wheat moat they dont and skirmish is fire! Who reacted?

Totally disgusting 🤢 worst battle mod,who made that well be shame
👎👎👎👎👎
Nothing fun,almost players rage and lose.

[terse narwhal]

@devout raptor ?

[fresh valve]

its pretty fun mode especially when using derps

[rain quiver]

This mode is sht for pubs. End of statement.

Now for tournaments it makes certain tanks completely over powered. Like the fv215 183 it’s shot counts for so much more now. We played with three 183s and 2 is-4s and won almost every game

[vague kindle]

That ufo isn't new

Oh shi it's me

[civic plaza]

I had sent a vrt ticket just now. It said don't open the game while in process. Its not given me my tank back yet. Can I open the game now?

[calm salmon]

I think the opening part was just while you create the ticket. After that you should be fine to open it again, even if it’s not there yet

[lyric scroll]

you must not open the game between you send the ticket and receiving the ticket which confirm that the tank is back @civic plaza

[oblique bison]

the problem is they want you to cap but you get garbage xp for the cap

[novel sentinel]

Thats why im not cap base in skirmish mode

I never cap the base. Single handledly capped the base in normal mode, got 600 base xp

[sturdy tusk]

Does that mean that finally all the people asking for 5 vs 5 will stop?

[fringe tinsel]

Please 4 vs 4 mode

[novel sentinel]

This mode needs to be made for single tier battles only. Love the idea though

[tulip terrace]

Never buy Wz 111 1-4

[oblique bison]

any mode that dosnt count win rates is gonna get flooded with training room players

[novel sentinel]

1 on 1hunt would be interesting. Hiya all

[vague kindle]

Everytime the lights needs to do the most😒

[wicked geyser]

SU-100Y is OP at Skirmish, just spam the prammo and gg, 530 damage everywhere

[past patio]

Great mode, maybe the play time should be reduced also. From 7 to 5 minutes, or even less.

[full gull]

This gamemode is garbage if you don't have armor

[wicked geyser]

So explain why SU-100Y and much other TDs do so well at this game mode @full gull, also there is players that do very well with lights at this mode

I agree @past patio, 5 minutes is perfect since this mode is meant to be a very fast battle

[iron hedge]

Never buy Wz 111 1-4
@tulip terrace the 111-4 is a 111-5 but at t9

[sturdy tusk]

This mode makes alpha and armour matter the most.

Dpm and mobility matters less because the dpm differences are more often then not insignificant (and the effective dpm can be lowered by hiding) and mobility matters less because the maps are that small that it’s easy to stay with the team

[young wraith]

Hello

[tulip terrace]

Dude i was having 350k credits left after buying it and now I have not more than 1k left ¬~¬

[wicked geyser]

Mobility and DPM too, even if the map is smaller, if you can't be agile or don't have a fast enough reload to help your allies they'll fight a 5 vs 4 and you'll probably lose @sturdy tusk

[lost frigate]

yes thats true

[shrewd palm]

@pliant surge AYY STOP ATTACKING THE WZ 111

[full gull]

@wicked geyser @sturdy tusk couldn't be more correct. Alpha damage and armor are more important because of the small map size. When I played light vehicles, it was just me running back and forth hoping for an opening. There never is an opening because there's not enough space. The maps were small enough to begin with and this makes it even harder to play with mobility and no armor...

Edit: I don't player derp lights. I only play high DPM lights and mediums. Except for my Type 59.

[iron hedge]

I’ve actually had the most successful battles in derp lights @full gull. I understand what you’re getting at but ultimately it all comes down to the players abilities

[wicked geyser]

Skirmish is a mode about creativity in combat and fast battles, you can do very well with a light if you have a basic sense of position and flanking, with smaller maps the teams are much more concentrated in some areas and it makes everything easier for a light flank and kill the isolated enemies

I'm doing well with my Type 62, Type 64, Stridsvagn 74A2, P43 Ann., E50M, etc because I know how to flank effectively @full gull
Edit; even with Bat Chat 25T

Another edit; @sturdy tusk DPM and mobility matter less? Bro if you don't have a good DPM like KV-2, you'll let your allies fight a 4 vs 5 every 20 seconds, it's enough to every enemy make about 200 damage in 5 or 6 seconds

Or what about agility, imagine let your team alone for 1:30 minute straight because you are too slow go to the frontline

One more edit; at this mode, every allie matter a lot, if you have a super slow reload or a super slow tank your team will be punished, that's why much people hate TOG II and some auto loader tanks, their speed and reload punish teams even in normal battles, at Skirmish it's even worse

[pliant surge]

@shrewd palm :p

[sturdy tusk]

This isn't an argument about if you can do well in tanks that don't fulfil those conditions, it's about what the most influential stats are in the gamemode.

Alpha is already extremely influential in the normal mode, and it only grows more influential the less players there are (unless you have no teammates anymore, but that's a special case).

Armour is that important simply because of the small maps and close combat situations

[brazen tusk]

The game mode is a joke, who cares

[hybrid storm]

Other than trolls, afk botters and stock tanks; I like it.

[wicked geyser]

These problems are everywhere, it's not a problem of the mode @hybrid storm

[iron hedge]

Regardless, it’s a nice mode, not having to worry about your stats while grinding, I like it a lot

[sturdy tusk]

@wicked geyser You made the 4 vs 5 argument before, and it's quite simply wrong. Being part of your team includes a lot more than just shooting enemies, it also means taking positions, taking damage and being around, maybe even just as a distraction. Aside from that, every tank is reloading from time to time, and nobody goes like 'oh, the Crusader is reloading, so it's a 4 vs 5 at the moment, and oh look, that Leopard 1 is reloading, this makes it a 0 vs 2, quite simply because it's ridiculous. Yes, a derp tank that is reloading is vulnerable, but that it true for every tank and it doesn't mean it's not part of the team anymore. Quite contrarily, reloading derp tanks draw extreme attention and reloaded derp tanks instil fear much more than any other tank.

About mobility... No tank needs 1:30 to get to the frontline, especially not on those small maps.

As I said, those statistics matter less due to the nature of the maps and gameplay, I never said that they don't play a role at all

[full gull]

Roasted

[hollow otter]

Oh my word, when almost anything new comes we gotta have the people gettin all philosophical n crap, cant yall just dm each other and spare us the cringe of watching you guys act like you're enlightened? Speaking to lux and brazil14n, you two seriously need to just dm each other, your arguments are so old at this point
And I dont mean your current argument points are old, I mean watching you two argue is old, and I am sick of watching you two do it.
@wicked geyser It's one thing to talk about the mode in general, what you like, dont like, what tanks you think are overpowered, which ones you think are useless, but the WAY you and lux argue literally makes me wanna vomit at this point, you two arent winning against each other, and you are only being annoying to ppl like me, your arguments arent even meant to educate anyone, hence all you two are doing is wasting screen space on this channel, care to prove me wrong?
I would like to point out this channel is NOT labeled "skirmish mode debates"

[wicked geyser]

@sturdy tusk No tank need 1:30 to get to the frontline? Guys he never played a german super heavy, LOOOOOOOOOL

You also use fast DPM tanks to talk about the 4 x 5 think, what reinforces my point, fast reload tanks don't get so affected by it, while a long reload tank makes difference, have you played bat chat 25T for exemple? You pass 16 seconds waiting the reload for exemple, it's enough time for an allie get tons of shots and maybe die, or maybe derp tanks, have you minded what a derp tank does while it's reloading? It does nothing but hide while teammates trade shots @sturdy tusk

You are in the wrong channel @steep basin

It's skirmish channel and we are talking about statistics on skirmish, simple, no needing to DM if we are doing the channel purpose @hollow otter
Son, if you are sick of it these is another channels too, it's a free real state

That's what we find when two stubborn guys meet each other, chill @hollow otter

[sturdy tusk]

@hollow otter I am sorry that you don't feel educated by our glorious insights [sarcasm]. Regardless we are talking about which tank types are best used in this mode, so we kind of fulfil your conditions which is good enough to me. If you have anything else to add, I invite you to join this endless debate [sarcasm]. Anyways...

I played German superheavies and actually like them. You can kind of keep up with your heavies.
And I used fast reload tanks as an example to show how hypocritical your point is because it reduces something that affects all tanks to derp tanks only.
Yes, I played the Bat. Chat. 25t.
Teammates shouldn't make trades that aren't in their favour. And derp tanks are excellent for supporting a frontline because they can suppress enemy tanks and outtrade almost everyone

Counter-question, how are you helping anyone by starting an argument about what this channel should be used for? That is certainly even less helpful than our debate on what vehicles are best for the mode.

Your quote is not a definition of a debate, so it's weird that you abuse it as such

[hollow otter]

Last I checked, neither of you are philosophers of the game, so no your insights are not glorious at all, and I am also fairly certain WG did not make this channel for endless debates, but for feedback on what players think of the mode, how is repeating yourself so many times that WG can no longer see what other players say of any help to WG, in fact, please prove how exactly this debate is really helping anyone, because like I pointed out, you two are not winning each other to your respective sides, which is the point of a debate, you arent helping to educate the playerbase, and you arent giving WG any new information at this point, so how are you two truly fulfilling what this channel is for?
And to make sure you two know what a debate really is meant to do, here is what the American Debate Legion says of a debate, "The aim of a debate is to convince the opposition that you are right. When the two sides agree on the subject or when one side's arguments are more convincing than the other side that is when the debate comes to a close." As far as I can tell, you guys have never and do not appear to be achieving this definition, thus you are not having a true debate but rather a childish argument of "no I'm right. no I'm right."
@sturdy tusk When you two quite overpowering this entire channel with your essay length messages and endless debate allowing the channel to return to its normal function where people can drop their opinions in like coins in a jar, then the channel will be helped.
And please feel free to look up a definition of what a debate is that smites down my quote if you feel my quote isnt a definition then, but dont just make a "no I'm right" statement
@novel sentinel If you have a suggestion as to how to get this endless debate moved elsewhere without writing practically an essay in response I am all ears buddy

[wicked geyser]

1st, I called you for DM for a better "debate", but you are even more stubborn than me, @hollow otter is right. But that's what stubborn people does, we don't want to convince people, we want to prove our point. Also since the channel have a long time to let us make comments, so the comments are supposed to be bigger

2nd, wow, if you played with German super
heavies like jageroo, VK100, tiger 2, maus, etc so you should know that it takes a loooong time to get to the frontline and how teammates can get affected by it when the battle starts

3rd, yes, reload time affect all tanks but none cares about how it affect a fast reload tank because their reload is fast, and long reloads are long take much more time to shot while your teammates are fighting

4th, I never negated that they aren't good for support in frontline, but what do you do when they are reloading? Do you still exposed or you hide your tank behind a rock while your allies still fighting?

Gottem lol

[sturdy tusk]

@hollow otter This channel is for talk about the skirmish mode. Nothing else is specified. We meet that condition. It really is that easy. Oh and, that quote is no definition because it only described the intention of a debate and the end of a debate, not the debate itself.

I am talking here because it started and belongs here. I am not interested in moving around because someone (who isn't a mod or admin) doesn't like it.

Teammates usually aren't affected by your slow speed when they don't yolo or get yoloed... also, considering the size of the maps you will have an easier time sticking to your team

You are fighting all the time regardless. Especially when you have armour you can keep bouncing shots and show a presence, and if you don't you can just get in cover preparing your next shot, and be sure that the enemies know that they may be next. You obviously have to play your tank to your strenghts, and if you have armour you can still use it while reloading, and if you don't you most likely compensate with a short reload which solves the whole issue of reload you named earlier

[hollow otter]

Again, if you two are not even getting closer to the end goal of a debate, how can it be a debate @sturdy tusk? Rather than making a claim that it's a debate youre having, why not prove it? Since you obviously know so much, it should be easy for you to prove that your little argument here really is a debate considering what a debate is supposed to achieve in the end. And, if your so confident that what youre doing here really is constructive to the community, the channel, and the server at large, and not just your own ego, then I guess you wouldnt mind me pinging the mods to see what they think?
@wicked geyser Would you have even noticed my messages if they were a short and simple "Pls move this" tho? Or did it take long messages to make myself known?

[wicked geyser]

"Teammates usually aren't affected by your slow speed..." Welp, unless when You take almost 2 minutes to find enemies because your average speed is being 20km/h

"You are fighting all the time regardless..."
Yeah, even afk players?

"...if you have armour you can still use it while reloading"
Jagdpanzer E100 for exemple, it have a good armor but it's actually easy to penetrate because of too much weakspots, how would you use it without be penetrated on the weakspots, for exemple

Again
@hollow otter is right but you are being quite hypocritical when you talked about long texts and also make long texts too

[sturdy tusk]

@wicked geyser That last point makes no sense (because it wasn't actually me but cool). Oh wait, i misread. I jumped over the "but", my bad

The point before that is literally "but what about this tank that has armour but actually doesn't"

@hollow otter You can ping the mods at your own discretion. I have nothing to do with that

And yes, I try to convince him and I also try to have better arguments, thus i am debating. Happy?

If I had to be succeeding at convincing someone to be debating then only one guy would debate in a debate and the other would... eh... talk?

Oh and, not like I actually need to debate as long as I talk about skirmish, since that's literally all this channel is about

[hollow otter]

@sturdy tusk And that's exactly where you fail to be in a true debate, you are only "trying" to, but have you ever in the past or are you currently being successful at that?

[sturdy tusk]

When you drive 20 kph you drive approximately 333 metres per minute. That would mean that you would drive around 666 metres in two minutes... I don't know about you, but as far as i know most maps are 500 x 500 in standard random modes, which would make the skirmish maps 250 x 500 which would mean that the diagonal is around 560 metres, so... you could cross the entire map in that time with 20 kph

It appears that my figure is wrong, but it still illustrates my point that nobody needs two minutes to make enemy contact unless there literally is nobody or if they are already dead

@wicked geyser How can you argue that you need to take the bigger picture into account when it comes to armour but happily ignore all other stats and say that a tank will be unsuitable for skirmish when it's slow.

Also, only tanks with real high alpha come with slow reload and actually not that low dpm

[full gull]

Maps are 600 meters by 600 meters, but a lot of the space isn't traversable

[wicked geyser]

Anyways, have armor =/= you'll be good at skirmish, because prammo exist and there is many factors that can make the tank actually bad for the mode

Have high alpha =/= it's a good tank for skirmish, high alpha means long reload and probably low DPM, with this duo won't help your team so much unless if it's a real high alpha

Have low agility tanks on skirmish = you'll be a fade your your team (unless if your tank is really good in much other stats), because it's a mode based on versatility and fast battles

Low DPM tanks = a fade for your team, every time you miss or don't penetrate will be a more 15 secs without shooting and your team will basically have a 5 x 4

Exactly @full gull, you'll make curves and up mountains depending of the map, mostly when you get to the wrong side (like when the whole team go to the right side but enemies are on left)

[fast pike]

Skirmish mode isn’t 5v5. It’s actually just 2v5 with a platoon mate

[wicked geyser]

You interpreted wrong, I said that have high armor doesn't means that it's good because there is prammo and high pen tanks, but also doesn't means that it's bad because high armor tanks can be good only if played correctly (like E100 for exemple, if you don't angle the hull and the turret, the armor will be useless)

You forgot to read one part when I talked about slow tanks, "unless if your tank is really good in much other stats", there is low agility tanks without good armor, or good gun, even maybe both and also no turret

And yeah, not that low DPM, but their DPM is usually lower than average, high alpha tanks can be DPMed out by others tanks too @sturdy tusk

[sturdy tusk]

Derp tanks are fairly close to average with their dpm and nobody should underestimate their chances in a dpm fight (I refer to the KV-2 and ISU-152 for extreme examples).

The part about slow tanks... Is a given when the tank is to be considered average. Obviously a bad tank will perform... bad... . Aside from that, I never brought mobility up, i just said that armour is one of the most important stats in skirmish battles, and as time has proven armour does not necessarily mean slow (AMX M4 mle. 49, Chrysler K, WZ-120-1G FT, Foch 155, Ho-Ri, etc.). Due to the small maps you are more likely to end up in close combat where armour is more important since you can't rely on the enemy missing.

The reason why mostly well armoured tanks are considered "noob-proof" is because you don't actually have to play well to use armour

[empty relic]

I like this mode, if you are down a few tanks, you can turn the out come around if you play smart.

[stone sage]

You children arguing in here is dumb take it to DM’s

[stone sage]

But you’re not even talking about skirmish anymore...
@wicked geyser

[wicked geyser]

My last comment to you sir, none has learned anything with your comments too, your debating isn't helping anyone, it isn't educating anyone at the mode too but "quite overpowering this entire channel with your essay length messages".

For the third and last time, you are being hypocritical

You could resolve this at DM too but you choose do exactly what you criticized

Now if you want to talk about skirmish, c'mon

[wicked geyser]

@sturdy tusk come over here, what are the stats that are less important to You?

I agree in parts, the view range is useful only on the first secs of the battle, when everyone gets spotted by a 280m view range tank, but unless it, I agree tottaly

What about worst tanks for skirmish in your opinion

[sturdy tusk]

But I am right 😉 [sarcasm]. I am pretty much done, I feel like we had a good fight and everyone who can be bothered with reading all that can judge himself who made the better arguments.

Oh, and the least important stats/ mechanic is (as far as I'm concerned) the view range / bush/spotting mechanic because it's hard to run away and build some distance with the narrower maps. I also think that accuracy loses importance because there is less range involved.

[empty relic]

Yeah you guys make good points

[lusty viper]

All in all, this game mode isn't great

[novel sentinel]

It could have been if they had done it on full size maps 😒

[calm salmon]

This mode could’ve been done in training rooms too, without needing to have any special mode added in. Not very hard at all. Just allow 5 on each team, and then make them follow an imaginary border placed wherever. Then tell them that 50 base capture points means it’s a win for that team and everyone must leave the match. Ez

[novel sentinel]

@novel sentinel sure, with these teams? its good theyre locked to one direction and not have the freedom of choosing the wrong lane and given the opportunity to camp the whole game for 2 shots of which 1 misses. its like a little tutorial of survival in close spaces.

[wicked geyser]

I agree, also skirmish was meant to be a fast and versatile battle, a big* map wouldn't let it be

[novel sentinel]

It's just my biased opinion. I've alwy wanted less tanks on our existing maps. A way for lights and meds to really shine. When I heard about 5v5 coming I got excited. Once I say the details I went from excited to disappointed.

[full gull]

I wish they just made the maps a tiny bit bigger honestly. Even though PC is about 1000 meters by 1000 meters and blitz is 600x600, a bunch of space is not available to be traversed.

[shrewd palm]

@pliant surge stop it

[pliant surge]

Never

:[

[rocky schooner]

Skirmish is just boring. I was hoping for a mode that would force a 5v5 brawl every match. That doesn't happen. It's just less damage with half the map.

[iron hedge]

Maybe up the size to like 700-750 or so

[twilit lake]

Haha

[half kestrel]

lol

[shrewd palm]

@pliant surge why

[pliant surge]

:>

[tepid shale]

I have 100 wins in 5v5 💯

[full gull]

Weird flex

[pliant surge]

Neat

[thorny venture]

Me: Normal 7VS7,ok,skirmish,nooooo it bad

[shrewd palm]

@pliant surge oh no

[rancid pollen]

You can get so many wins in this skirmish and that to many of the matches end by capturing the base.....You go for the base the whole team will be there..XD

[fresh tide]

Could anyone help me to give a ban for ricimertest2015 on NA server. This guy is playing on script as a bot in 5 vs 5 game. I send so many replays to WG, but no responds.

[fresh tide]

I met this guy 11 games in a row, in my side and the oppose side playing a P44 all the time

[calm salmon]

People can’t help here. The customer support is the only way really. Just send the ticket and wait to see what WG responds with. Also, they might ask for screenshots rather than a replay

[fast pike]

@tepid shale how do you even know that? You stop getting rewards after 30...

[willow gulch]

It is possible to check all the replays and count how many victories you have...but I have my doubts that Conway did that...or it could be (the much more likely answer) that it was a rough estimate, a very rough estimate...

[wheat crag]

please remove base in skirmish mode there are so many noobs capturing base

[willow gulch]

No, I think the base should remain but the capture time should be increased.

[silver lodge]

There’s a three second delay between getting spotted and the lightbulb popping

[novel sentinel]

^

[silver lodge]

It won’t appear after you die

[vague kindle]

Pls don't remove the base :D

[novel sentinel]

Pls remove base points 😂

[tepid shale]

@fast pike I have played nothing but 5v5 since it came out, I’ve played over 200 games during that time and I know my wr is over 50%. It’s more of a guess but I’d be very surprised if I didn’t have 100 wins

[fast pike]

200 games according to blitzstars?

I’m not attacking you by any means. Just more so curious because I didn’t think it could be tracked through websites

[cobalt girder]

Waiting for it to end .-.

[novel sentinel]

Honestly, all events like this one are good due to the fact you can grind out Xp without the worry of messing up your stats

[stone sage]

@fresh tide I’ve encountered that dude multiple times as well. Really annoying.

[golden moat]

YELP plz ! Wargaming add the report buttons ! I can't deal with this toxic community anymore ! I want to report them for real

[iron hedge]

YELP plz ! Wargaming add the report buttons ! I can't deal with this toxic community anymore ! I want to report them for real
@golden moat there’s a website to report them no go dk that

[golden moat]

Is there ? There is so much I can report ! Do we have a link @iron hedge ?

[novel sentinel]

What I’ve noticed with skirmish is since the maps are reduced down to a single lane of fighting bad teams have became a rare sight. As players are forced to stick together. Showing that sticking together wins games. Which a lot of people still don’t realize

[golden moat]

Well it depends, here you have much more lines to work with as a team, flanks are fasters. On real map being stacked can sometimes be hard. Flanks are easier and all tanks aren't going at the same speed, some can just stop to shoot causing the faster to be alone really fast, and being just alone surrounded things like that

[shrewd palm]

Who got the avatar from skirm

[graceful heart]

Me

[vague kindle]

20wins easy

[potent karma]

toon?

[novel sentinel]

please remove base in skirmish mode there are so many noobs capturing base
@wheat crag I can't agree more

[wheat crag]

yeah Man the map is already small fast tanks cant hide...

[fast pike]

Why not just make the cap time longer?

Make it 50 instead of 30 seconds

[oblique bison]

why not just brink back uprsing?

[zealous lagoon]

Skirmish, better known as carry 4 members instead of 6, but beware as any afk will weight much more than before

[shrewd palm]

whats crazy is that when there are 2 ppl on the base

[stone sage]

Why don’t... we just have uprising instead....?

[iron hedge]

Because WG wants to introduce new game modes to play instead of circling through the same 5 modes???

[scenic badge]

I rather uprising or gravity it's more fun

[full gull]

Please bring back gravity

[novel sentinel]

They will bring back other game modes
But they are making new ones to not do the same ones over and over again

[stone sage]

But skirmish is extremely repetitive and boring after a tiny bit. I’d much rather prefer playing a ton of uprising than this boring game mode.

[scenic badge]

But skirmish is extremely repetitive and boring after a tiny bit. I’d much rather prefer playing a ton of uprising than this boring game mode. tru

[clear sphinx]

Amount of AFKs in special modes is pissing me off. Even more annoying is fact support doesn't give a you-know-what if they get a report about that

[ashen mesa]

Tog is much more balanced In this mode cause it takes less time to go to the battle field

[full cradle]

Skirmish sucks. I feel like your options are so limited in the mode. Like ew. Why would I want to play regular battles, but with more limitations on what I can do. Like it’s just an ugly brawl half the time and if you are bottom tier you’re kinda screwed if your team is bad and camps

[weak idol]

They should make a game mode FFA

[wicked charm]

Skirmish isn’t getting the love it needs. Instead of looking at the downsides, why not looks at what it’s good for? Strategy is one thing it can improve and it’s seriously useful for grinding. With shorter battles, you can grind quicker

[lusty viper]

Do you get less XP though? That could make the time spent grinding way longer with 5/7ths of the XP up for grabs

[stone sage]

@wicked charm shorter battles but less overall XP as there’s less to contribute to in these battles (damage, spotting, assistant damage, etc)
Still good to grind tho since no affect stats

[full cradle]

Yeah it’s good to grind for. But so is every other event mode. At least it’s an event mode so I give it credit for that. But I don’t see much of the strategy aspect in it. Like the map is tiny and everyone goes on the same side of the map. The fighting is just like in a normal match, except you have a better idea of where the enemy is. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just nothing special where as gravity or uprising or mad games are.

[lusty viper]

^^^ Uprising is especially good for grinding tanks. Getting 10k+ damage over 3 lives really pumps out the XP

[cloud narwhal]

yes

[glacial crown]

Are teams in skirmish mode supposed to be really bad?

[vague kindle]

With a little Team and little brain then there goes nothing down the drain

[trim marsh]

The caps in skirmish mode are funny this way, so great to have the enemy team rage because they ignored the cap for too long 😛

[novel sentinel]

Tbh maps should be the same size as in normal battles, meds cant properly flank anymore on half of a map

[old sorrel]

Every mod is better than skirmish, change my mind.

[vague kindle]

The funneh part is that your mind can't be changed as it's already the right thought

[oblique bison]

at first i hated this mode but when i started trollin it got better fast ;p

[restive lava]

Mechanik Komar1234#5853 was muted

[iron hedge]

No the game mode isn’t over yet bro

@gilded vigil go to the Wargaming website, log in, go to the blitz portal, then go to player support and go from there

[gilded vigil]

@golden moat there’s a website to report them no go dk that
@iron hedge What website is that?

@warm blaze not yet

[shrewd palm]

I like it

[atomic kettle]

Yeah it's good for grinding, but otherwise it's just filled with the toxic ten year olds of the wotb community :/

[warm blaze]

skirmish is already over on asia

[vague kindle]

Not in EU lol

[noble nova]

I personally enjoy this mode. If you’re in a toon playing double maus and winning 2v5 by capping is something I haven’t seen or done yet.

[stone sage]

KV-1 had 1 health. Would’ve won and pulled off a kolobanov if the stupid god forsaken cap didn’t go insanely fast.
This gamemode sucks. Just put in the actually good ones instead of boring trash such as this.

[carmine mortar]

Well, you wouldn't have gotten the medal anyway bc it's an event. Soo...
But yeah, this is sorta just Wot blitz, blitz.

[autumn shuttle]

How many rewards are there in this mode? Got the camo and badge

[calm salmon]

3 of them. I think you’ve got all since the camo is the last one for 30 wins

[wicked geyser]

Awww no more skirmish, RIP for my money printer mode

10 wins - epic loot box
20 wins - avatar
30 wins - time-tested camouflage @autumn shuttle
(All modes have the same prizes, but the camouflaged may change)

[wicked geyser]

Damn, I played skirmish so much that I forgot how to play 7 x 7 battles, or I'm just on a bad wave

[harsh breach]

skirmish is disgusting

[final fossil]

I think it's a great mode. Learning all aspects of the map, easy grinding, and some free reewards on top of all that too.

[wicked geyser]

^

[barren nest]

I’m playing for the camos

[wicked geyser]

You played for the camos*
There is no more skirmish @barren nest

Lol you fool, there is no kolobanov at different game modes @stone sage

[barren nest]

@wicked geyser I’m playing for the camos

[wicked geyser]

But skirmish ended

[mystic egret]

@wicked geyser not for na

[mystic egret]

Smasher is daing super broke in this mode.

[autumn shuttle]

Honestly, this mode is just a solid meh, if not an outright ugh. If there was more map variety it wouldn't be such a drag. It's making me hate my new t8 just because I can never use it effectively, but still feel obliged to play the mode to max it out. I'll be glad when it's gone, and that's a sad sentiment to have for something that's supposed to be fun.

[barren nest]

I had fun. I experimented with different tanks, and I grinded a whole lot of exp

[graceful heart]

Same

[crisp folio]

Is skirmish going to be permanent mode? It’s a great game mode to have for people who don’t have enough time to play a normal match
