When control mode came out it was fun and new. After it came out it's gotten stale. The first one with T8s was fun. The Era1 control mode was buggy as heck with folks spawning near the red base or other places and then as other control modes came in less players got on and queue times got long or timed out. So what is the point of control mode? I see this week it's T10 without arty. I thought control mode was to try out new things like no true vision in CW or true vision in WW2. Try lights vs lights, arty vs arty. T1 vs T1. Experimental stuff. Maybe have a suggest box for the next control mode? Maybe some rewards too? Just my thoughts.

I think control mode, for now should be kept around tiers 6,7,8,9, maybe 10 and, I was gonna say Era 1 (but I've recanted due to TV and self edited this b4 posting, leaving the rest of what I wrote about CW) but Eras 2 and 3 people are gonna be jerks like me, and purposely choose things like high speed rocket tanks. I've been on both ends of that, and rockets while being fun for a little while, end up being toxic. My opinion as of now that the best tiers for Control mode are 7-9, that also comes down to maps, view range, no tier 10 TD's ect.. Just my opinion.

That's a good point they should use control mode to adjust things like view range, maybe buffs or nerfs for the broader community testing to get feedback

This probably needs a separate thing, but WG if you're listening would you STRONGLY consider making Co 0p mode at least up until and including tier 8, to have it where each tier just faces it's own tier. I would ranther have slightly harder bots if that's what you felt needed to happen than to have my tier 7 pummeled by tier 8 bots, especially when people are tending to choose the more modern and more OP 8's. Same goes for when I play tier 6, I just pummel the tier 5's. I guess 9 and 10 being mixed isn't such a bad thing, though it would be much funner for 9's if 9's were single tier as well. This has just been something on my mind for quite a long time.

That said about Co Op, I hope control mode is something that should be kept around, as a full time event, but just constantly refined until it's super fun to play, unless they can come up with an all new better fun alt mode. I think control mode is a pretty cool concept and should stay. We need alternatives so we can keep buying tanks and having fun with them.

you never know, they might be doing some of that.

the point of control mode is to add more variety to the normal game rotation i think, its a far more dynamic and action packed game mode than usual and you can take more risks
