The ensk example is a great explanation and also one of the main problems on the NA server. One side of the map will lose and remainder of the team plays defensive on the other flank and gets crushed quickly. Played 20 games yesterday and 14 of them were over within 2-4 minutes because of it. In my eyes this the most important thing for new players to learn.
I'm so glad that the fact that 1 HP is a trillion times more valuable than 0 is being touched on. Being an absolute potato, there have been many times where I lose half my tank in the first couple minutes of the battle, but manage to go on and clutch a tight end game scenario. Doing nothing is not bad. Doing nothing while there are weaknesses and opportunities in the game is.
Seriously, tip about not dying is so underrated. I remeber one time when I played my IS-3 on Prokhorovka I got feckd for over 1400 on beginning of the battle because I weren't camping hard enough. I did 4,5k dmg being one shot in that battle. Skipping the suspension is nice, but it is not always worth becaue better suspension usually also give you better gun handling. Great use of improved hardening is when you have enough exp to install module of higher importance like turret or gun but stock suspension is unable to carry it. Then unlock suspension at last.
Modified configuration is so good it allows you to run food on russian tanks without catching on fire!!!! I run it on my t-44-100 and 260 and its amazing.
Not played since 2012 (left when P2W reared its ugly head) but trying it out again and this defo helped. Love the way it was presented and will defo follow further tips. Keep up the good work.
Wallst: Look on tankgg at your tanks weakspots *shows KV-1s Me: well no matter how you put it the whole tank is a weakspot and weakness For any new player, probably the best high tier proper HT you should get is the E75. Incredibly fun, rewarding and very good for learning the basics (tho at t9 learning the basics is a bit questionable lmao). The line is not even that bad after the buffs, the t6 VK is fine, Tiger I has a very good gun with high dpm and alpha(-ish, 280 is still pretty decent tho), Tiger II is massive upgrade in all regards if you exclude the speed, imo the most well balanced and fun tech tree HT, the gun is superb, perfect blend of reload and alpha, handlings are just incredible, armor can work surprisingly well if you know your enemy and speed is on par with other tanks like the shitty IS-3 I dislike and hate with all my soul.
Great video with very apt humour implemented at the right time :) Another one I use a lot of, if I'm playing an autoloader is to make out I've actually got shots left. This works provided they haven't counted how many you've already unloaded! Keep up this style of video please!
What I sometimes do, is fire all but one shot from my autoloader, and then immediately reload, assuming I'm in a decently strong position. This prevents the enemy from pushing you, as they think you've still got a shot left, but when you start shooting them again you've got a completely full clip again. It might even trick them into a stupid move because they think you'll be empty after the first shot of the second clip, if your full clip reload is short enough. I'm not sure if it'd work in something like a Char Futur 4, but it works great in my Kranvagn with a 19,1 second reload.
@@thegiantpotato3068 Top tip that. Thanks very much. I hadn't played for two weeks, loaded up and of course played my favourite tank, the ARL 44, and proceeded to murder roughly 1/4 of the enemy team over 4 battles. Like riding a bike!
Your genius isn't limited to a pixel tank game. Nearly all the advice you gave could be successfully applied in so many aspects of life in general. Staying in close to your opponent limits their ability to strike full power blows. The art of subterfuge to bait and strike, is also exemplary in physical combat. Or business dealings. Learning and knowing the weaknesses in your opponent. I could continue, but I think I've made my point.
oy walIst i need another heavy... tank driver tip, trying to become more of a medium... tank player, what wat calorie calculator did you use to get in shape again?
i also believe that hardening is basically useless except on a maus or type5. even then, the hp advantage is only 1 shot from _any_ tier 10 gun, which will rarely matter. it's "number go up" bait for noobs.
I’d recommend some combination of Gun Rammer, Modified Config, Vert Stabs, Improved Rotation, Vents, maybe turbocharger on some. It depends heavily (lol) on the particular tank.
@@HonestGamingLife I hope you make more man, honestly enjoy watching your progress. It inspired me with your weight loss explanation to get off my ass, and so far down 25 pounds. Keep up the good work man.
May I refer you to the films: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and the wonderful sequel Return of the Killer Tomatoes..... Wonderful drunk viewing from my youth. There may be some lessons in those as well (but I doubt it).
@@HonestGamingLife 90% of the games finishing in 3-4 minutes when enemy team is fully co-ordinated and knows exactly what to do, 183mm gun not penning LT torrent or side, when I am last tank standing bullet passes through enemy tank with 0 damage or bounce message, my gun hitting enemy hiding behind solid building ... how many more examples you need ...
Problem with this rule is teammates will harangue the life out of you for being overly cautious when they feel you ought to barging into furniture and making your presence felt.
Dude. Just, dude. Mind-blowing. I'm a long time player but not generally a heavy player. Biggest game changer for me in this? The concept of being intentional with your downtime. Second is 2-shot vs 1-shot and how an enemy reacts. (And using hardening to speed up a grind is pretty cool too... I've never used it, on any tank)
One thing Steve didn't mention: getting the upgraded tracks is often still important as it often influences the terrain resistance and gun handling (and frees up the slot of improved hardening).
I must have missed the part where you said camp with the TD’s when you’re top tier heavy like many do on my server…. (Asia/ANZ). Love your vids Steve, keep on keeping on!
aha Very true, it's quite common and I'm not sure why because I've seen it a lot after 8+ years on SEA server. Had a Maus yesterday back of the map hiding in a bush, and a Tortoise climbed a hill to snipe on a timed assault map where we didn't even have a LT/MT alive to spot for him.
Hot damn! Very informative! There are a few things I need to do differently now. Every time you post a vid like this my gameplay has improved. More please!
Man, so much effort into one video but only 10k views. You deserve so much more. I play World of Tanks Blitz and still this was insanely helpful! Thanks for your effort!
Always angle like a god so Russia makes dem bounce cause when ur driving into position keep moving and angle so that dey bounce (certified works in KV 3)
I dont care about win ape. If we win or lose its ok. I am getting better bit by bit. staying live more often now. Lots of good players out there. I do a bit better each time. Ty for sharing the tips
also i have installed the mod pack and followed the instructions in 'READ FIRST' but xvm isnt working inside battle and neither is the 'angle' 6th sense sound. help pls.. (everything else is sweet though)
@@HonestGamingLife yeah I’m not gonna lie, I was expecting you to say something about “pulling a max” during the keeping your health part…. I related to it far too much anyways xD
loved the video, but the part when you both play m103, and definetely its one of the least played tanks ( i barely see any of them in battles and most likely for a reason) its just the tank that has an awkward cupola, and not only that, your whole roof of the turret is overmatchable. m103 is not a great vehicle. but just to showcase this tactic its fine
Gonna be honest I didnt think many people used hardening for the hp. Only time I'd use it is to skip the tracks on tanks that need them to mount a better gun/turret (on tanks with particularly bad stock grinds)
These videos are great, thanks. 👍 I want to watch more videos and your stream but I cannot take the 3 tank trains that are constantly a thing/theme of the aforementioned. IMO, they were silly and tedious at first, but beyond worn out now. You have so much to offer in a more focused manner. Don't get me wrong, some silliness and goofing is great. I will still support and watch all videos such as this one. Maybe I am alone in this thinking, but it doesn't seem in keeping with the technical approach you otherwise display. Cheers and good luck. 😉

Its like people don't know there is a minimap. The "no cap-kill all" thing when you are losing doesn't help either
Nice, the fact that a lot of heavies have to commit to a flank due to lack of mobility makes their impact on that flank essential. Great video.
