I’m facing some struggles when playing my VK 30.01 (P) at tier 6 against a tier 8 premium like the Obj 703 II. I feel totally outmatched since my opponent has a Service Record of over 9,500 while mine is only about 4,850. Their average damage is 1.7k, but I’m only at 580. Plus, they’re platooned with another player who’s also at a high skill level. It feels impossible to deal any damage to them, and they just wiped out our team of 9 tanks. Why am I being placed in games against such high-tier opponents, especially with their clear advantages?

Yeah, the VK has some solid buffs recently, with increased armor and penetration. Use that to your advantage, stay back, and pick your battles wisely—just because you’re a tier down doesn’t mean you can’t contribute effectively!
It can be frustrating, but hey, if it’s a free-to-play game, just shake it off if you die and try again with another tank. And if you’re really struggling, just look at it as a chance to learn and get better!
Just remember that everyone has bad games, and facing stronger opponents is part of the grind! It’s tough out there, but staying positive can help you improve and adapt.
It really isn’t easy being the bottom tier. You might want to adopt a more supportive playstyle—stick close to your teammates and avoid frontal confrontations with those tier 8 tanks. Instead of charging in, take shots when they’re distracted; that way, you can deal damage safely and help your team out. Also, remember that in these matchups, your goal isn’t just to survive but to assist your team. Focus on positioning and teamwork to turn the tables in your favor!
In these situations, consider yourself a support tank rather than a frontline fighter. Your role is to track or spot enemies for your team rather than go toe-to-toe with them. Make use of cover and shoot from a distance when the enemies are occupied. Plus, remember, you get bonus XP and credits for engaging higher-tier opponents—so there’s an upside to being in those matchups.
Great point! I hadn’t thought about the bonus XP. I’ll keep that in mind next time!
That makes sense! I guess if I play it smart and coordinate with higher tiers, I can shift the odds a bit.
