when i first started playing about 6 years ago i was going into battles with only ap ammo & small med/repair kits + small fire extinguisher. no equipment, no crew skills, sometimes even with stock modules until i realized how to upgrade tanks. anything above tier 5 looked unreachable to me, i mean it took me to grind up to tier 5 a year or so. i was simply just not carring about correct setups & gameplay itself, simply loged in and pressed battle without any hesitation im doing something wrong. and i gotta say i was billion times happier in the game back then, this game was a candystore for me when i first came in because the idea of it was perfect for me.
I started playing 4 years ago and it was the first online game I ever played. I had just retired and wanted something indoors to spend some free time at. At first I had to sell tanks to be able to buy better tanks. I stayed in the bottom tiers a long time just learning the game and it's terminology. "Facehug a heavy?" LOL! At first I'd play until I got a win with every tank in my garage. Before long that took too long as I had too many tanks, so I just settled for completing the daily and bonus missions. I've gotten pretty good with WG saying that I'm better than 85% of players on my NA server, with a win rate of 50.6 and a WTR of 6,314. The best advice I can give a new player is to not try to get to the top tiers too quickly, like I did. I ended up just being cannon fodder for the skilled players. I play upper tiers now, but they can't bully me around like before, because I have better tanks that I picked up with Battle Pass points and bonds. I still haven't paid a dime into this game and I'm still having a great time playing!
At tier 1 you can actually meet tier 2 tanks because the matchmaker is so empty and it doesn't fill up with bots. Low tier is such a cancerous environment, Wargaming completely ruined it when they culled the tech trees.
Follow up on spotting, camo and artillery. Title: "Why you're getting killed and can't see why" Another on maps: "Why can't I cross an open field without dying" On RNG: "I keep shooting at the enemy, but all my shots don't do anything" I really hated my first few hundred battles.
@DunkCSA only sometimes? They called you a noob , because you didn't spot whole team (tds and arties, as you have said), and die in first 30s of battle - that's what they are used to see and consider "good lt" probably. :D
I've been playing 12 years. My first 20k games i was on a crappy laptop and the game performance sucked but I loved to try stupid stuff just to see if I could get lucky. The best part then was when I died I just went on to the next game. At 80k games played now and a 300+ tank garage i play fewer games but more enjoyable than my banzai days games. Win or lose one can learn more with each game played. In game name: WidowMAker77
When starting up, you can use the equipment recommended by other. However as the time goes on and you keep improving, you may have a tendency to go into certain playstyles. Experiment with equipments and see if it fits with your tank and your playstyle.
I must recommend to never buy 50% crew. You can get rental tanks from events and codes and with them there will be 100% crews and you can get crew members and commanders from events, like the pumpkin thing that just ended and the Christmas event that will be in December. Frontline rentals also come with 100% crews and Onslaught rentals as well. For everything else the 20K spent on a 75% crewman is well worth not having to play a 50% crew. And a combination of a lets say 2 Skill commander from code with three 75% crewmemebrs will be much much better than a full 50% crew.
Tip 1: Pick a different game. Tip 2: Pick some other game. Tip 3: Pick any other game. Tip 4: Pick an alterative game. Tip 5: Pick any other game. Really.
One thing I'd like to comment on is that - regardless of how good you are, matchmaker is going to fuck you over... And regardless of how good you are, grinding some stock tanks are just going to be painfull. Indien-Panzer doesn't become a great tank just because it's played by a great player, it becomes decent. But that also means that for john doe - it's going to suck ass untill it's upgraded.
In sound settings I turn vehicle sound way down, you don't need to hear yourself. Ambient up to where you can easily hear surroundings. This way you can hear if enemy knocks over a street lamp or something.
I don't know if anyone mentioned it but this advice about moving crew up is a little bit misleading and even footage shows that. You specifically mentioned that one should move their crew up off a tank even if they liked the tank but training for 20k silver is 75% at its BASE level and often beginner's crew retraining doesn't give you notable benefit if any (12:44 : 73% red free vs 20k*4 silver 75% (which is just BASE for that school so scam), vs 60% free (10% over base free 50% is shit)), so you just lose crew skill for nothing, your crew will probably have no valuable perk ratio at those beginner steps to benefit from moving up. TL;DR: If you like the tank and intend to keep it, you often better off recruiting a new crew for the next tank, especially if you're capable of grinding silver on that tank you like. So just check the numbers, don't confirm retraining and see if it's worth it. It might not worth it up to 5-7 lvl, depends on a lot of factors you don't really need to learn, just learn to compare those 2 options. Another good tip: if your current target tree is under some juicy events or there's a common event that gets you more combat xp, or maybe even combination of regular stuff like x2 mark/ premium / missions / daily / platoon bonus, sometimes it's even better to NOT retrain for 2 and 3 lvl tanks and sit on RED numbers, you can skip those tanks completely in 1-10 battles while actually performing fine despite crew penalties. You can also notice that red numbers are better than numbers that retraining offers you, they might be much higher than whatever you end up after completing the tank and ditching it for the next one.
Does anyone have similar problem like i have? On my current settings game working on 140-160 fps but when I rapidly moving mouse from side to side fps are dropping to 60-80. Is it problem wit my PC or its like this game behave normaly?
If you really want to use them, stockpile them during -50% discount. But imo in general, since you're new player who's still learning maps and tanks, you're partially wasting money on them (on the other hand they might ease the learning a bit).
Can I add a 6th tip? Dont buy high tier premium tanks. Hell dont buy even tier 7 premium tanks. Its too often that I see a high tier premium tank player playing like a bumbling idiot who died in the first 2minute of the game.

Another tip bit of advice in low tiers, never peek on a KV2. And when you get to tier 8, never peek on an FV4005 or Deathstar!
Please do peek, when I'm in my Jagdpanzer E 100. :D

Good advices !!! Nice job ,Max . Keep it up .
Great information and well put in simple easy instructions.
Thankyou Max, for explaining all this stuff.
At tier 1 you can actually meet tier 2 tanks because the matchmaker is so empty and it doesn't fill up with bots. Low tier is such a cancerous environment, Wargaming completely ruined it when they culled the tech trees.
This is worth watching. Good advice
I just found your channel and i subbed your content is great.

If you're alone on one flank, definitely blame team. :D

i was selling my crew and buy a fresh crew every single tank. Oh my god why didn't i watch this vide before !!!
is there a site to show the cost of shells/missiles in wot cold war?

Ambient is not what the enemies do. It’s just the map sounds.
I use a Logitec bluetooth trackball. What would you suggest for sensitivity setting for that?

Nice video 🙂

That is not normal
Should I not use consumables as a new player. I don’t make profit on battles due to the consumables being used?
I have a consumable guide, take a look at that along with the equipment guide.
If you really want to use them, stockpile them during -50% discount. But imo in general, since you're new player who's still learning maps and tanks, you're partially wasting money on them (on the other hand they might ease the learning a bit).
Is there a requirement for discor or?
Because it says Unable to accept when i click it :D
nice video
There is no requirement to join other than an account. It should be working fine.
@@MaxGamingFPS My bad, was using Brave browser, that was the problem :D
Only if this game has new players 🙃JK
Can I add a 6th tip? Dont buy high tier premium tanks. Hell dont buy even tier 7 premium tanks.
Its too often that I see a high tier premium tank player playing like a bumbling idiot who died in the first 2minute of the game.
Uninstall it, and dont waste your money. Simple. Was a 9yr vet.
Best hint, delete the game as they are making changes to cause more and more misses at anything other than point blank.
DO NOT start with the german tech tree.
E100 line is fine, actually enjoyable.
@@MaxGamingFPS but not for new players
I would say it’s okay, it’s actually forgiving, plenty of HP and you can learn how to sidescrape.
Tip for new players? Don't even start playing. This game is complete garbage now.
