winMBT low percentile hits

[Wdll]

If you fire a milan at an enemy tank with very low % and hit it and destroy it, do you reload because it "shouldn't" hit it?

Saying that you cheat (or "cheat") to get favourable results in shots/battles and then saying you have a problem with low percentile hits, is...lame to put it nicely.

I personaly find that low hit %[1-5%]to hit more then say 20%

I'd say that the low % hits are more "visible" - ie you take 90% hitting as something ordinary, but notice each hit at 2% ...

No I don't, as I'm a cheat.

And you're right, it is lame, but let me explain myself.
Its clear that most of you guys are very serious about this game and its subject and are very knowledgable on how to fight battles, what to fight them with etc.
I, on the other hand am an idiot on these matters, but am trying to learn. Lucky shots (weather in my favour or not) can give a battle such a radically different outcome that it is hard to discern weather a tactic I'm trying has worked or failed.
Doing my little reloading cheat, has shown me numerous times that you can do exactly the same thing the second time round, and the results can be the complete polar opposite to what happened the first time.
This is fine, but you can surely see how it is difficult to learn from?

[Wdll]

If you need to redo/load something to make your plan work, then perhaps your plan isn't the best as it is. Try to avoid getting hit.

I understand you, but the only way to learn the game is by losing, big.

[Marek_Tucan]

Your plan should be robust enough so that few lucky hits don't upset it and at the same time flexible enough to change direction when losses are too high. Unfortunately, as all of us, you have to lose big time before winning big time

I never lost big time!

@rfisher:
If you want to know the important lesson here it is that a plan that can be thwarted by a single or even two or three lucky hits by the enemy (or bad luck misses from your troops) in a short time is a bad plan. You need some redundancy in your approach. Lucky hits and misses WILL happen and should happen.

Ok guys! Give the man some breathing space here!
Yes reloading is a standard way to improve your knowledge, tactics and gaming style. One word of advise though. There are some great scenarios & campaigns in the game. Don't "waste" them in the "learning phase". They're so much fun to play when you have "settled" on your game style and play them """honestly""". What I'm saying is if you think you need more "training" don't do it with the scenarios that appeal to you. Manage your future enjoyment!!!

Good training is also PBEM against someone experienced (if you don't mind you'd get destroyed in the process) But as he'll be mercilessly killing your units, you will see how he prepares his luck.
