A great problem in this game in my opinion is that most people want to score kills and not win the match. This leads to situations where nearly everyone is crowded where they think they can make kills and the capture points are neglected.
Can you blame them tho? daily tasks and challenges don't usually permit you to play the objective it's always something dumb like assist 69 friendlies with repairs or kill 420 German heavy tanks in five minutes.
I sure is. The grind doesn't make this any better. I remember that a few years ago gaijin made some events where you had to capture 15 capture points per stage and so on. Of course people rushed to the points and left the match to get the tasks done for the event. Teamplay, playing the objective and bouncing shots if possible should have a higher reward.
@@McKonggaming So often you watch your entire team do something stupid like go single file to the closest objective. Then I'm just in it to get a few kills if I can and go on to the next match. No respawn.
On the bright side I get more artillery kills in scouts than gun kills, when they crowd together. This works even at Tier V, especially with the M551 using the UAV to scout. Just wish I could mark things better with the UAV instead of having to switch to MAP view and guess where I'm marking
🙂 the shermans are great tanks, but the lag of armor and huge profil makes hard for them to fight in town matches. The slow reverse speed is also a disadvantage. The 75mm Jumbo should take the heat on it, while the shermans take out the enemies.
@McKonggaming I just started playing USA line (just got m4a1 (whatever else it is, the 5.0br medium tank) and ive just not been able to do anything with 3.0-4.0br. I played ussr to 6.7 so far, and I just couldn't get any kills with 3-4br usa. The medium tanks have low speed and low armor, so I couldn't figure out how to flank without getting broadsided myself. This video definitely will help, trying to stay hull down and being patient.
It's so frustrating when you kill some enemies and haven't dead once and your teammates just die. Sometime I feel like they are trying to throw away their vehicles as fast as possible.
In my opinion gaming get's faster every day. Just have a look at the other MMO games. A lot of them are deathmatches (Battle royal) or based on rounds. People don't have the patience or time to focus on hours on a game. They want quick wins. In addition the grind doesn't make it better. This is no excuse but a attempt to understand why so many players rush into the battles and get destroyed.
All my matches go the same. The individuals rush out attack all 3 caps in small groups then are killed. Instead of concentrating on 1 or 2 points they all keep rushing back to the point they first attacked. When I try to find go positions to shoot from they all call me a camper.
Unfortunately that is pretty common at some BR Ranges. I just can offer my map tactic videos. The key positions I recommend have an impact on the match and on most of the support routes you should be save from enemies. Camping is either when you camp the spawn or you are at the edge of the map sniping without playing the objective. This game is not about getting the most kills. In order to win you need to play the objective at some point and I know you understood that. So don't listen to the others. As long as you play the objective there is nothing wron in staying put at a position and let the enemy drive in your line of fire.
Excellent breakdown of your match. Great game 😜 A few people try and help you heal you tank but it's difficult to coordinate as a team. The communication is clunky and no one uses voice. Lots of people rush indubitably 🙄
Thank you very much. Voice chat could be something. But we see how this works in other games. Voice chat is sometimes even more toxic. All we can do is try to read the battle and have a look on the minimap anc chat from time to time.
Good work and video. But somehow doesn't work for me. With its 76 mm canon, it cannot penetrate almost anyone, but if I only show the tip of the nose around the house corner - sudden death. All M4 are great disappointments to me.
I assume you face all of them frontally. T34s can be a pain. The moment a tank has a commanders hatch, aim for that. Ignore the angled frontplate. KV1 and KV2 are also tricky. Aim for the flat parts at the side of the turret. When you face them in a straight line the lower frontplate works. Panthers always aim for the commanders hatch. The explosive filling in your shell will take out the whole Crew in the turret. Don't aim for the turret cheacks. Since the volumetric shell Update this doesn't work anymore. Tiger h1, also commanders hatch. And the frontplate corner that is closer to you. Not the one that is further away. Works under 600 meters. Tiger e can be difficult since it has no commanders hatch. A hull-down Tiger e is a massive problem for a sherman. In conclusion, the commanders hatch is the weakspot you want to aim at for most of the mentioned tanks
Good when I'm fighting 1v1. But usaully theres some coddled soviet/german player who pens the front of my Sherman and turns my crew into pink mist. The best way you can maximize kills and capture points is flanking, the 76mm can penetrate pretty much all tank's side armor at it's BR
I'm grinding stock tank for M4a4 rn, and usually flanking never goes well for me, mostly bcuz of either people doing the same thing or that one 1000 kg bomb either way flanking is not great bcuz of my engine power, what do u suggest
Thank you very much. I will put it on the list. I already tried to make a guide for it but got distracted with some other stuff. It might take a while but I am on it 🙂
Yes🙂 6.3 M4A3E2 76mm ( Still a great tank although it went up from 6.0 a few months ago) M26 (A back-up for the 76mm Jumbo) M41A1 (for scouting etc.) CAS: AD4 Skyraider AA: M42 6.7 T92 (for scouting etc:) T26E1-1 (my favorite tank for 6.7) T34 (Good but expensive and no explosive filling in the shell) CAS: AD4 Skyraider AA: M42
I also thought about that. In a full upter there has to be at least one 75mm Jumbo and some other M4A2 76mm. Actually this American line-up and BR range should be really good, but a lot of the players struggle with it. My next guides will be about the 75mm Jumbo and the M4A2.
@@McKonggaming the 75 jumbo assault tank is a real heavy tank compared to 76 but still keep in mind the very weak under skirt of the jumbo is just 37m so any 88 will over match it if slightly angle
It is. This specially applies for higher tiers. I am a bad example in this case. I just bring that many shells with me, because I had some matches in which I ran out of ammunition and got destroyed.
No problem. Here is the link. discord.gg/shXNvZkv On the RUclips channel it is hidden in the channel information. Maybe I have to put it in every video description

You show how one skilled player is enough to turn the tide of a battle........well done
Thank you. Hopefully my guides help so that more players can do that 🙂
i would have respawned 2x by the 2-minute mark of this video. great job
😅 thank you.
So you were the enemy?
I would've been sent to hanger by that time.
Really enjoy your no-nonsense approach and clear explanations, thank you for helping improve my game.

Amazing guide
Can you make a tortoise guide for the British tech tree?
im struggling to do well with the tortoise
I will put it on the list, but it might take a while. The tortoise really is not that easy to play. I only had a few matches in it so far.
@@McKonggaming okay .Thanks for considering
Hey Kong, great video! Looking forward next map tactics, explanations are really great.
Thank you very much for your feedback 🙂
Your 1st position is my goto spot if I have a tank with good depression.
I think this also is a massive first key position and you need to take and defend it.
@@McKonggaming When I play from the other spawn I go to the opposite point on the same hill.

@@McKonggaming many thanks
The only playable sherman is M4A2 imo. The rest has a lot of heavy and useless armor, which is why I prefer M24 over any sherman.
I am going to make more guides for the other shermans. I am curious how the M4A2 will work for me.
Good when I'm fighting 1v1. But usaully theres some coddled soviet/german player who pens the front of my Sherman and turns my crew into pink mist. The best way you can maximize kills and capture points is flanking, the 76mm can penetrate pretty much all tank's side armor at it's BR

Can you try the Centurion Mk I? subscribed

Hi McKong Could You share your lineup for US 6.7 or 6.3 ?Thanks!
Yes🙂
6.3
M4A3E2 76mm ( Still a great tank although it went up from 6.0 a few months ago)
M26 (A back-up for the 76mm Jumbo)
M41A1 (for scouting etc.)
CAS: AD4 Skyraider
AA: M42
6.7
T92 (for scouting etc:)
T26E1-1 (my favorite tank for 6.7)
T34 (Good but expensive and no explosive filling in the shell)
CAS: AD4 Skyraider
AA: M42
@@McKonggaming Thanks you so much!You help me a lot!

Just have all Sherman 76 from 5.7 to 6.3 and they just work fine along side the Pershings and t34 heavy

also may i ask why you brought so many rounds to battle?
i thought bringing many rounds makes it easier to be destroyed
It is. This specially applies for higher tiers. I am a bad example in this case. I just bring that many shells with me, because I had some matches in which I ran out of ammunition and got destroyed.
and now do this reliably, not just one match buddy.
Please 🙏 tell gaijin to stop spawn camping
Maps are getting even worse 😅 New Spawn in Mozdok is horror right now.
Not a good ending for *BdE*
ITS ONLY GOOD IF YOU FIGHT BOTS
