Remove It to create a more dynamic game-play!!!

 

Because knowing when you're spotted just kill the fun, the surprise element is what makes world of tanks so special but 6th sense perk is just ridiculous and make all teams camp behind bushes. Lets put an end to this by removing this useless perk! 

 

Whats the first thing you do when you feel you are spotted (through 6th sense)???? YOU HIDE. That's it. You hide and PROLONG the match. Meanwhile the other team does the same, the match lags because everyone have a got a light bulb popping up their screens. Totally maniac if you ask me. Crazy at the best because its so historically inaccurate. Peoples complain about Arty okay I got it we have an Arty complain every 10 hours here in forums. But no one cares how OP light tanks are when using 6th sense... If we wanna talk about balance lets start by cutting off this dull feature of knowing what the other party is seeing, thats just ridiculous.

Er.............NO

While you're at it.. remove all crew skills to make everything balanced.

Everything will be more dynamic with no one having a crew with better skills.

[camdy]

think the reason players camp is because they are afraid of being shot not because of a perk.

6th sense does not give you an immediate warning when you are spotted, the enemy has 3 seconds to line up a shot at you before you are even warned.

I have seen tanks get hit by shots from 5 or more tanks before they could have been warned by 6th sense because of this.

Players will hide because they don't want to be shot regardless of whether they have 6th sense or not.

...

 

What a patently ridiculous statement to make, lights have been pretty much universally underpowered since their inception, and frankly I have no idea what gave you this idea because I honestly can't think of any ways in which sixth sense of all things makes them OP.

 

[The_Red_Baron_of_Germany]

better yet, make the 6th sense perk free for everyone from the get go.

[southerner]

Little timmy summed it up nicely by stating "would you remove the force from star wars ?"...... NAH

[Ezz]

Removing sixth sense would improve the efficacy of lights.

We should remove Camo as well, to make it even harder for them to hide.

[tekno]

yea remove 6th sense and buff the pen of all spg rounds to 400mm ....

with the current (debateably) broken spg mechanic the ONLY way to avoid being one shotted on a regular basis is finding a large rock/building/JP ht to hide behind and you want to make it EASIER for the rain of HE to dominate the battlefeild...GG

the campiest games Ive been in are the ones with 3+ spgs, move up and you are toast. Remove any ability to know that you can move/remain unspotted and in those matches nobody will move out of cover.

[xenxcrixa]

Well having a chance to avoid a stupid scenario is more fun than not imo.

Contrary to your belief, that would actually do the opposite. Removing sixth sense would make everyone unsure if they're spotted or not, so for safety's sake, they'll just always assume that they are spotted, making battles more campy. With sixth sense, people can confidently maneuver around the battlefield so long as they maneuver using the terrain to block line of sight from possible passive spotter positions and so long as they have sufficient camo skills. While maneuvering, when the sixth sense goes off, it is only then when they hide.

[Napalmer]

While you're at it, how about we remove all the tanks, and people can YOLO in and die with infantry instead.

 

Oh wait, that game already exists.

So before you want to knock it off as "historically inaccurate" ...

If you've been following some of the (Russian) Q&A sessions, it's been said that the Real Life™ equivalent of the Sixth Sense perk was your Radio Operator (or whoever has that role in that particular tank) intercepted the radio transmission from the enemy reporting that an enemy tank has been sighted. And given that with the sort of radio technology back in the day, this is not as "historically inaccurate" or far fetched as you would claim it to be.   

Hence which is also why the Developers want to move the perk to a Radio Operator and/or remaking it so that everyone has the perk from the get go. If and when the fabled Crew Skill and Perks Re-balance ever comes.

[Aoyama_Blue_Mountain]

So... basically 6th sense = learning Russian?

[camdy]

afoxq is correct as there is a doco i think it someone posted it somewhere on the forums that said the german africa corps could listen in to the britsh tanks radio com's chatter and even feed miss information to the britsh tanks.

[NameWasStolenStresslevel]

okay,

 

 No one seem to have liked this idea (apart from the 2 people in my ignore list  whose opinions I dont know/care about) you guys have got me enough reasons to agree that It might be not a popular idea to remove this easy-mode game feature. Alright boyz I will have to leave it, most of my tanks dont have and dont need these OP features anyway... 

 

 

Good weeek for you people that roam the forums like truth tankers!

[Mother_Of_All_Rommel]

I'll agree to give it as default to any tanks. Remove it is a no.

[camdy]

i do have it on a couple of tanks and it doesn't change my style of play just makes me wake up pay attention it reminds me of that warning you get in metal gear solid   sometimes i find it annoying that is one of the reasons i rarely use that perk.
