It always amazes me when people get noticeably upset over a game. I genuinely enjoy every match, even when I lose, and I can definitely admire good gameplay-especially when it’s against me. I know the best way to improve is by playing against stronger opponents. This was such a brilliantly played game, showcasing exceptional map and terrain awareness, masterful use of cover and concealment, and when that gun finally took out the last two tanks... it was SO FREAKIN COOL! Incredible game-thanks for sharing!

[@unbelievablegoodio7176]

I wish I had your patience. I have no issue to lose against good players. But losing 11 times in a row to people who have no clue, no motivation, or play another game inside this game (highest damage game on cost of own team), or all of that, and many of my slow tanks cannot change the initial idea ...then the patience turns to sour at some point ... Yesterday we lost 1 15. Tier 8 in the game. I used the M-25. I killed that 1 in closed combat, speeding round him faster than his turret turns. But game lost, again mission failed. I am not logging in to see 11 times in a row such looser ...

[@nicomeier8098]

I blame WG for this. They made it waaaay too easy to quickly move up the tech trees so you now got unexperienced, unskilled dumbo players in higher tiers, more then ever.

[@unbelievablegoodio7176]

Way too easy? In another tank game I was much faster on tier 6, with many different types from different countries, not like wot linear grind. But there takes it than a lot more grind, and tier 10 is possible and even making credits, but it takes time. Thats the way how it supposed to be. Trust me, nobody who has 350 battles done using an IS-3 did grind that up the tree, also not the ones with 1500 battles. They PAYED for it, bought, plus some gold ammo, plus full crew training, plus tank extras. But one thing they could not buy: Battle experience, map knowledge, tactics, different tank types, their weak spots and strong points etc. When I trained (grind) the crews from 75% on it takes ages in very unsuccessful battles to get at least a 100% crew, without further skills, and then it goes on not good passing 10000 battles and still learning. As if someone can win in a rally car race when all he knows so far is a hot wheels car from Matchbox experience with enough money to by a WRC car.

[@markusr353]

And his name is Pierre. Cannot be a coincidenxe😄

[@juanjodpr]

He played in a very risky but rewarding bush. He outspotted the Manticore in the line of bushes because there are some gaps both in the left and the right side around F2-G2 line. This was insane textbook of how to outplay the best spotter in the game with possibly the worst. Pretty sure this player was also packing max view range with coated optics, exhaust and CVS, which is MANDATORY for Prokhorovka and Malinovka.

[@zocker1600]

you can see in the beginning of the video (1:04) that he used CVS with bond optics and exhaust + food

[@Chan-Lin-Tao]

You got Manticore wrong, at that point you have to go to the right of the hedge. The terrain lowers and the outline of the tank remains hidden even in the area without hedges. Tesak could only lose in this map against Manticore (who made a mistake surely given by overconfidence) ======================================= A game like this Manticore wins 9 times out of 10. Once he made a mistake.

[@Terraqueo22]

Being a light tank in Prokhorvka or Malinovka... Being shouted at by your team to scout. Being shouted for dying trying to spot their manticore which is a bit impossible because you are literally against the god of spotting. Being asked to spot stuff that is beyond the draw range of the teammates. 3 Rules of spotting in WoT. -There are 2 ways of spotting in WoT, passive and active - Have an estimate, if what you are spotting is on the draw range of your teammates if not dont even bother exposing yourself or risking just to "spot" -Never fire your gun at the wrong time. If you need to fire your gun have a escape route ready

[@thunder7135]

I think the most important rule to spotting is to literally never listen to your teammates if you know what you're doing. Don't rush and play to the best of your ability. I had HUNDREDS of games where I listened to the peer pressure of my teammates and did the bad play just because I was fed up with the stupid things they write in chat. And I'm a 60% WR player.

[@russwoodward8251]

Digging The Space Age Bachelor Pad introduction. Okay, 5000 spotting assist is my guess. Okay, only off by a factor of 4. Heh. Great ending. The arty rammed the last enemy! Cool move. The winning team did a great job hiding in the corner of the map and blaming their cowardice on others.

[@morecowbell20]

The timing in the intro where you display "So Many Assholes" just as the screen changes to a bunch of little circles was either an awesome fluke, or professional editing by someone with the mentality of a 12 year old. I love it!

[@Xenor007]

Really nailed this intro! Love the music and the style 😄

[@basilabeysekra7389]

Claus, the APCR on the Tesak is actually "regular" apcr shells costing just 4 more credits per shell, with a lower dmg output. this is the only branch in the game that has no "premium" ammo. I would say the only tech tree in the game which "gold" ammo isnt just better in every way to standards, requires you to think instead of pressing the "2" key.

[@terencebowlen1450]

I agree, since they made Premium Rounds available with silver, game skill level has seriously decreased, and with premium tanks being easy way to play rather than grind your way through tiers, earning even upgrades let alone tanks, the game has lost a serious amount of achievement and appreciation for everything you work for in game and become a game for those with bigger Wallets willing to spend more on what the game is worth. I cant see them resorting back to Premium with Gold only, but I would feel an acceptable compromise would be to LIMIT the amount of Premium ammo a tank can hold, let's say that each tank can only hold up to 10% of total ammo the tank can hold, maybe an allowance for autoloaders to be rounded up to a full clip, this would make the premium rounds a thoughtful choice (IE, player asks himself if it is really needed? will they need to hold rounds for later?), I feel this would stop the auto premium round load up and spam, returning at least a little skill back into the game

[@MrMurphyum]

About the intro: I was raised in the 80's and 90's and I still remember the good old times, movies with great intros. Some may think it's just a waste of time and such, but I still belive that is a good intro can set up the mode, the milieu to make a greater overall experience for the audience. Well done, it was a great intro! ❤

[@thepunisher1917]

Hi Claus, just a note to keep in mind. This tank's "Gold Rounds" are different since they have more pen but less damage. And in terms of credits, the gold rounds are 36 credits each, standard rounds 32 credits each, and HE, the most expensive one, sits at 40. So unlike typical WoT, firing Gold significantly reduces your clip potential. And it's a tank where you really have to know which ammo to fire and gold isn't flat out better. Edit: This can fire 1200 shells. 1200 Standards Shells = 1200 * 32 = 38400 Credits 1200 Gold Shells = 1200 * 36 = 43200 Credits 1200 HE Shells = 48000 Credits So it's a pretty cheap tank when it comes to ammo.

[@SoulKiller111]

[@F15rocker]

Due to the general toxicity I left Wot 5 years ago. Today I got the urge to play again but before reinstalling I thought I'd check how much improvement there has been in the game. Having watched only 3 videos I conclude there has been no improvement whatsoever in players behaviour or WoT's response to such behaviour and so I'll not bother.

[@jonathontoney2338]

Its so funny, when i played WoTs my clan had a word for 'active scout tanks' it was 'dead'. Active scouting where you're running around in the open getting shot at can be useful but it also is a huge risk, I always passive scouted until I saw an opportunity to make a play. Everyone used to be like get out there and spot, dude I'm in a WZ-132 not a t-50-2 I'm the size of a small house lol. T-50s really were ludicrous back in day but no other LT turned like that or was that small. Once there is less guns on the field that's when you want to spend your hp making plays and finishing off tanks. Clause you're 100% right that guy is a fool.

[@jameslanning8405]

I like that "Pink Panther," flavor to the intro! Most of those guys are why I can't win a match! Even if I end up as the last player in the match, I lose... I get killed by half the other team, or they cap me out.

[@cx24x]

I believe the Tesak's premium rounds are priced similarly to the regular rounds. Instead of it costing more, it does less damage. I actually love how they balanced it. Rare win for WG

I don't know why they did that change but whatever.

SOOOOOOO many times i get a shitstorm in the chat on this map and go out with 6k spotting....unbelivable but only the worst player talk too much

[@WimvdBrink]

Love the intro, very professional ;-) I do understand the frustration, he is spotting the middle line while that manticore is spotting the A1 line, so a load get killed because of that spotting, but besides that it's a stupid team, they all gather in that corner, even if one is spotted chances are big a shot will hit somebody else 😀

[@jarirepo1172]

Typical WOT game, nobody in the team bats an eye if their spotter goes against Manticore and dies in first minute. But alas, if spotter does NOT do that, everyone will go batshit crazy.

[@zemankraluje2418]

[@ArmoredsoldierCZ]

Peple should understand that not all light tanks are meant to be ´´spotters´´ as they call it, and not all of them benefit from just headlessly rushing forward amongst the enemies. Especially when your team cant even shoot them, which makes me want to ask why you want to spot somewhere where you cant even do ****, right? Actually, if anything, i see this video as a tutorial on how to play light tanks (also known for others as ´´spotters´´). Im surely not gonna be imediately best, but i hope that im gonna be decent from now on with spotting.

[@ralleandersen4365]

Damn, that is a really amazing compliment. I am in fact the guy in the Tesak and that comment is really amazing to read. This was probably the best game anyone has ever had in the Tesak and I got really lucky that I saw the Manticore through the holes in the bushes. I figured that since he has 15% more camo than me and the east was lost that I could do the most good by spotting there. There is no reason to try to outspot a Manticore in that bushline, so you have to get creative and I got creative and lucky. I had basically given up on the team and that is why I sit still a lot. However, I knew when I saw the Manticore that the bushline was safe and I could outspot everything if I was a bit careful. Again, thank you for the comment.

[@briarus1000]

i love map awareness. since the wheelies generally have to clowncar the ridgeline they are not used to passive spotters anymore. the machine gun tanks are fun to play, i stopped at the blesk and usually make money. the he rounds are pretty good for light tanks and lightly armored td's and arty.

[@ianfloyd]

[@badweathergaming4929]

LTs are the most underpowered tank class in the game imo (and generally speaking, there are one or two very good ones out there) but most of the time you need your team to be competent even when you do everything right. LTs guns typically aren't good enough to solo top tier MTs and HTs or even armored TDs, so they really need the team to make the most of spots they do. And the line between scouting and being spotted and insta-killed is so thin it makes the floor for LTs VERY far down.

[@johnsurreal]

I know that the MG is very expensive to shoot but I never thought we'd see WG go back to the original Premium Ammo plan with any tank: You pay gold to get bigger penetration at the cost of less damage per shot. Twelve years ago it was not the case of absolute pay to win with Premium Ammo. It was a trade off. One thing about the good pen with the tank, even if the damage is low: you get a lot of penetrations, damage does build and the chance of fire gets to be a significant factor. I can see this little bugger as a Stephen King "Fire Starter".
