WN8- A statistic that can be misleading because sometimes it can be increased or decreased artificially. It is the overall stat that represents how you do in battle which combines damage, spotting, kills, etc. (basically everything except whether you win/lose)
Win %- This shows your percentage of wins/loses and basically shows how you impact your own team.
Recent Statistics- Show how you are performing in your last 1k battles and is a very accurate representation to how you will perform in your next battle.
XVM- Shows the stats of players in a battle (a mod), but only shows overall, therefore not showing the whole story.
Those are the important parts explained, now on to who you might be as a player and what you may have:
The average active player on NA has 1400 recent WN8 and 52% wins. This, if shown as the average, will probably shock you because you may have much less than this. This is most likely relatively artificial, as the majority of players have much lower overall and average WN8. (active players is a smaller category than you think)
Things that may impact your stats:
If you are sub 4-6k Games- your stats are not really functional as you may have not understood the game as well and you had to suffer through painfully bad low tier tanks against seal clubbers.
Seal Clubbers- Play low tiers in overpowered tanks, get insane statistics by killing people new at the game, and generally one of the reasons why the game as very few people who progress to the higher tiers in recent months. One clan that has been known to do this is CIA. (sorry if you belong to one of these clans, but you know it is true)
You Play Scouts/Arty- These kinds of tanks don't allow you to do as much to win battles as other tanks, in other words, carry. They tend to be squishy and don't have powerful enough guns to effectively take out tanks consistently. This will decrease your win-rate and in the case of SPGs, cause a lower WN8 in most cases.
Have Recently Progressed to Higher Tiers- This may happen to you if you jump from playing a lot of tier 8s to playing a lot of tier 10s. This is a large jump in skill, and you tend to see a lot more pro players who have played this game for years. Don't get discouraged, you will get better if you learn from your mistakes and from the plays of these more experienced players.
All in all, don't take it to heart if you have low stats. It means nothing about who you are as a person. Many things in the game also will effect your statistics in a positive/negative way. Don't worry about it, all that matters is that you have fun playing the game. Your Win %, combined with your WN8 is the best way to judge a player, along with the recent tier played over the past 30 days. This is a really helpful tool to use in order to dictate how a player will perform.
Here are my stats at the moment (my WN8 dropped cause I started grinding again XD)

nice summary but you forgot that light tanks can be used to inflate wn8 to insane degrees. (for example, doing your own hp worth of dmg in a WZ-132, which is possible with gold or the 189 pen gun, is enough to be unicum.....just 1050 dmg....)
ReplyDeleteI was debating whether to include that part of the WN8 scales, but since light tanks take a large degree of skill to play, and this post was focused on explaining WoT stats to newer players, I felt it was unnecessary to include in my post. But thanks for pointing it out for the more experienced players!
