Great video and really timely at that. I am currently working on getting better at the BMP-3 by driving in zoom mode to be able to fire atgms on the move then switch to guns while missile is reloading and back to missile. I also changed to a "toggled" zoom versus having to hold the button down which seems to help a ton. Riki-Any chance you could do a follow up video with more advanced techniques?
Rodncin practice more on guiding the ATGM in third person it will change your play style so much but for the better because in the sniper mode "zoom mode" it only moves as fast as your gun can move the ATGM is guided by the radical that is attached to the screen not the radical attached to your gun and it's not guided by the lazer either the red dot "Lazer" is where the missile is headed and that's where it's gonna hit....... Hope this helps you some bud good tanking to you
@@sammypresser471 Thank you for the tip. I admit to being slightly confused by the "radical" thing until my monkey brain finally substituted "reticle" and suddenly everything made sense. See, the thing is... I am trying to add to my bag of tricks by being able to seamlessly switch from 3rd person driving mode to 1st zoom to get the most out of the main gun missiles. I am using the BMP as a trainer since the main gun is already loaded. The goal is to be able to shoot missiles on the move the same way I shoot Sabot rounds.
Thank you for this useful guide! This really makes me interested in the use of ATGM and practicing it. I subscribed to your channel. What advise would you give on using ATGM with the Sheridan? I feel like you can either camp and use ATGM or play the spotting role what light tanks are intended for but not both. Would you say there is any way to combine this?
The acceleration of Sheridan ATGMs is very quick so your time to target is very short comparatively. Drive by the mini map, use your detection circle to judge how close you can get to the enemy team. Take advantage of remaining unspotted to farm spotting assist. Use unguarded flanks to get guarantee undetected ATGM hits.
This is a great video. I didn't understand the laser and was making the very mistake you mentioned. When leading a target, how do you do it. Do you estimate the lead? Over lead and let the laser fall onto the target, or under lead and move further away from target to find the laser?
Hey I was watching your BMP-2 video the other day and decided to get myself that beautiful beast. One day later I saw you and your mate at Westfield. Sorry for the rocket, I wanted to say sorry immediately but your were on Ps that day and I only got a Xbox. ✌
… hating ATGMs right now… grinding through the centurion 9, whilst trying to 3 mark - it’s not so bad but has no armour and i’ve had bmps just go out of their way to do full damage to me even when they would be sacrificing themselves for me
Hey Riki, brilliant video. I had a question about atgms. I wanted to know if one can be auto-aim locked on to a target and launch the atgm and carry on driving away, will the atgm find its target? I ask this as there have being times when I am using the wz and I will attempt to fire a shell at my target and quickly change to atgm and fire but my missile just zooms past besides the stationary target. I'm not sure what's causing this, it might be that after changing to atgm I'm not locked on auto aim any more. Thanks in advance 👍🏼
The only way I have been able to get the auto lock to work is to fire manually then exit zoom and press auto lock then stay very still while the missile is in flight. I hope this helps.
The way missiles work is the missile initially launched in the direction of the gun. However after initial launch, the missile tracks toward the direction the camera view is looking, regardless of which direction the gun is pointing. Therefore, auto aim for missiles will never work like you are wanting
The auto aim feature can’t be used to guide a missile to the target. In your case, you’ll need to auto aim the gun and then manually guide the missile to the target.
Thanks alot Riki, and everyone else for clarifying. I had a suspicious that auto-aim doesn't seem to work when trying to guide atgms. I guess one can only guide the missile after its launched with the Lazer pointer, that means one would have to be in sniper mode.
I absolutely suck at ATGM, so really appreciate your guide.
Nicely explained, been asked what I do, but can never give the right answer its so hard to do, well done making this understandable. 👍
riki school part 1 (great video by the way)

@@rodncin my platoon is always open if you ever wanna join in and run together
@@sammypresser471 Cool beans, I play on PS4 and my gamer tag is [RIKI] MurphysGhst
Thanks Riki for this master class.
On the party shot style it's easier if you stay in the third person view not the sniper view
One update on the lazer it's not where the reticle is it's where the tip of the missile is headed towards
Another great guide! I need that practice practice practice.
He Riki cheers for that guide absolute great clip ..

I’ll make a video on how it’s done 👍🏼
ATGMs sure are fun!
With some tanks, smoke forms when you fire rockets and you don't see anything for a moment. is there anything that can be used to turn this off?
Drive backwards or forwards slightly to so that you’re not looking through the smoke generated at the firing location.
@@Rikitikitave ah ok thanks, that will help me much because sometimes I didn't see short ranges targets anymore and then I missed them

I remember that game, you ruined my MOE that game 😂
It’s all good. Thanks for the message 👍🏼
@@Rikitikitave oh no, hope you archived the moe afterwards.
@@kriegerhain still working on it 🫡
I think we need a new one based on the recent update, especially the bmp1
I don’t think I need to ignore the crosshair when I’m using medium tanks as long range snipers

Merkava mk3 is killing ear 3. Tank is to OP
Agreed, the tank has way too much dpm and mobility with the current armor layout. It is a leader in every attribute and not balanced
@@RAPR117 it’s like fighting people in your dreams. Nothing you do hurts them unless you have another mk3. I hope the nerf it.
Yup the merkavas need a nerf
No body talks about any perk ans skill setups for missiles ???
Thats why I came here searching for......

@@smile4shaheen with targets in close range that are moving, I don’t use sniper mode. I guide it in regular 3rd person.
ATGM’s in a world of tanks blitz it’s a whole different world
U blind? That is wot console
@@popmerde yeah I know that’s why I said World of Tanks Blitz please read my comment If you are a blitz player, you’ll know what I mean.
is the faster reload skill working 4 the atgm?
Yes
@@Rikitikitave Thnx
GG
swwwwwooooosssssshhhhh
'Ammo racks on tracks' not when I shoot at them.☹
I’ll do a ‘How to ammo rack Leopards’ video 😂
@@Rikitikitave Noooooooooo! 🤣
I take that back, but solely for Era 3 ;)
Atgm are OP, and a bunch of BS!!! WoT and the pay to play system sucks!
