World of Tanks

well it looks a little better through the gameplay I have seen plus currently its in beta. So I am sure it will improve

Looks are not everything - it is different - Warthunder planes trumps World of Planes but Warthunder Groundforces has not matched World of tanks yet apart from looks - it has potential but looking like they are trying to put too much in at the start.

A new game Armoured Warfare has also been announced and seems to follow the WoT pattern but with modern armoured vehicles.

AW will be interesting.

Well that sounds interesting. Though then again i play most games with low quality. So I can’t judge to much

great game, but i feel there’s to much hiding, wish there was a open map like ‘‘Kursk’’ with no bushes to hide behind, just full head on carnage. as i am not a patient guy i find my self going Kamikaze on Tank Detroyers and SPG’s with my Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf. C. i also got the Pz.Kpfw. IV trying to get the VK-30 and eventually the VI Tiger P :stuck_out_tongue:

There is a time to push and a time to wait, a full game going to the limit is only 15mins - average length of game is about 5 mins.

sometimes they purposely pro long the game. So you have to wait longer to use the tank that you want to level to the next tier

ahaa… i still think hiding Bushes is gay thou, and i especially hate it when i have my aim on someone in the Distance, and then they suddenly become invisible when not even inside a bush nor tree

The Tiger P isn’t exactly fast… But it does have good armor if you angle it correctly.

And camping really is a problem. If you want another quick tank, try the ELC. And the FV304 artillery piece.

mmm… you’re right, the ELC looks cool and got some interesting History too. i’ll definitely try getting it;)

Camping and rushing out are both problems - Campers sit and do little to affect the game - fools rushing off with no support or into a firezone equally die quick and do little.

there is a time and place to wait and a time and place to push -

A little example, the Luchs moved quick to a position and stayed where it could see so we knew what was coming, (we had three afk tanks at start), they waited then pushed and got shot to pieces (that stuart was a plucky lucky blighter), our side pushed to the cap and got shot from the side and front - I pushed to the AMX M4 then moved to the Cap point.

scout tanks really never work out for some reason they always throw you in the battle with tier 8 and 9. Yet all I have this tier 7 scout tank. I enjoy using the median tanks. Not to slow and not to fast. As a decent gun.

there are more effective ways of rushing then going out in the open field all alone all douh even that could be a pretty helpful thing for your team if all the enemies are camping and they shoot at you thus revealing their positions and then your team-mates can butcher their asses. and you can rush thru a forest in the corner of the map all the way to the other side of the map and take out your enemies from the rear, or you can convince someone else in your team to do the same just on the other side assuming there are trees on both sides and then you can truely Blitzkrieg with like 2-3 tanks on each side corner of the map raping the enemy from the sides and behind.

yea that sucks, i had this really Sexy Pz.Kpfw.38(t) Tier 4 Scout Tank yet allways came in battles with pure tier 5 and 6’s. can’t penetrate shit but other tier 4’s, it’s allways’’ bounced off’’ ‘‘bounced off’’ ‘‘bounced off’’

Learn passive scouting, in position and hide, spotting the enemy for your team, a teeny bit of hit and run,

none of this charge off and spot all when your team are not ready and you just die in 30 seconds

Watch the Luchs in my vid, he just kept the enemy in view for us,

how do i watch it? i clicked the ‘‘download replay’’ button but it didn’t work. **** it, scouting sucks, and you don’t earn much points spotting anyway. it’s useless for your own pleasure unless your scoutng on behalf of some friends or in a tournament or some shieeet. besides, Tanks where never even really used in WW2 for scouting!

You find out where it was downloaded to and then just click on it - it will open up your world of tanks game and play the replay.

Not many people can play the lights tanks well, they are probably the hardest to master, personally I do not like playing them past tier IV - too much grief when you don’t charge off to die.

Passive scouting may not be the most fun but it is effective - you survive then long enough to actually flank and start to hit the damaged opposition when they busy with your main force. Sneaking around a flank as well rather than charging looking fr the enemy artillery is generally more successful as well, running into a spawn point while they still have 15 guns nearby is just a world of hurt.

Its also a bit of a myth that recce units were only there to scout, they were they to scout and were used effectively by the British although they preferred lighter and quieter armoured cars or turretless Stuarts. They also were for flank guard, to disrupt supply lines by getting behind and isolating units, capture crossing points before demolition etc, rear guard actions.

The wordpress link you posted seems to have missed where motorcycles were replaced in German units by light tanks starting in 1940 - Doctrine was one thing, how local commanders used the assets (or mis-used them) is another thing.

The piece he wrote was based on this article which primarily uses a few examples - interesting to read though - it is more about whether recce units were used as recce units than whether tanks were (he cites many cases where the main tank of the day was used as both scout and fighting vehicle ie Panzer III or IV)
