Why am I only facing bots in random battles?

-

Hey everyone! I’m a returning player and I’ve been trying to jump into random battle mode. However, every time I join, it’s always a 7v7 match with bots. Is there any way to switch to a playlist where I can actually play against other players? I want some real battles!

Good question! If you’re using tier 1 or 2 tanks, those usually have a lot of 7v7 matches with bots. Are you playing in that range? Switching to higher tiers might help you find more player battles.

While you’re stuck in these bot matches, you can take advantage of it to farm some silver with a premium tank! Just use this time to build up your resources.

It sounds like you’re in a ‘welcome back’ matchmaking mode. It’s designed to help you ease back into the game. You might have the option to deselect this in the battle mode settings, but from what I’ve heard, it usually lasts only for a short period.
