Amazing OP Map Positions - Karelia

[@Zardnokalicious]

LT play is definitely about crew skills and set-up. I was in my T8 M41 Bulldog, only 2 skill crew (No BIA, just camo/recon), normal equipment (CVS, Optics, LNMuffler), went to a forward bush to begin my spotting. 30 seconds later, boom, boom, pow, I am dead and oh look, my 6th sense just went off. I was in the game less than 60 seconds and was dead with nobody spotted. Then an LT-432 scoots past my corpse and proceeds to dominate my team. Whole match was less than 4 minutes and I only lasted 60 seconds. I finished the match with straight zeroes across the board and decided I was done for the day.

[@Flinsenberger101]

You will just get outspotted against some lights. Really important to know the right bushes for each tank, and to recognize the opponent light. M41 will usually lose a spotting duel against an LT-432. Currently playing my HWK30, was really struggling, until i put bond equipment in there and my best german light crew. Suddenly, with 570m view range, things were significantly better.

[@kantemirovskaya1lightninga30]

That last player in the Senlack was an inspiration

[@Theorica]

@12:41 I've mentioned this in a previous video, and it riled up a few commenters who refused to believe it, but if you hit your R key to move instead of the W key when in bushes (doesn't matter if you're a LT or not), it counters the movement bonus that a Commander's Vision System gives you against enemies. You'll notice that some of the players know this (tap the R key once for creeping movement) )while they're playing and moving in the bushes at times. This way, if an enemy has CVS, it won't help them if you want to move more stealthily. This is actually why (for two reasons) the R key exists. Hit it once for creeping (locked) in bushes (counters the 10% loss that CVS gives your opponent), and twice to lock max forward movement. Do with this info what you may. Not interested in arguing. If it bothers you, then grab a few teammates and test it yourself in a training room. Otherwise, cheers!

[@strachinescucozminstelian9156]

well me know this :))

[@matthewandrews9052]

New drinking game. Every time Claus says bush have a chug of beer. You will be hammered in no time at all.

[@MedicatedOMO]

Push in the Bush is the que.

[@sabba_dabba8649]

Sounds like fun

[@stewartkelly2824]

Your best series Klausy! More LT stuff plz!

[@jtdg5849]

Yeah, this is a fun map for an experienced LT tank player. But learning the holes in the bushes in the middle takes some time and being killed more than a few times.

[@jeffms5068]

Hey Claus - Great series of videos on spotting. Not sure this will push me into trying my hand at light tanks but these are also great lessons on why one GETS spotted.

[@hikerdude5265]

Great job discussing all the perks and skills you would need to make this reasonably fun. I really didn't give these any creed not knowing the game math. Thanks for this, Claus. Also, I'm going to guess that Himmelsdorf is the worst scout map.

[@estrd_]

I recently started mine "story" with passive scouting, so I started watching you to learn something, and your videos are perfect learning, where to stand, what to do and what not to, you are doing amazing job, thank you. Keep it up!

[@ambientlight3876]

One strategy is to skill your LT crew up in a lower tier premium. Lower tier tends to be much more forgiving. Get your skills and the credits for the gear you need.

[@willdodge200]

Ping plays a huge role in what you can do in this game, I wish more knew that.

[@robertflint4115]

Big difference between 70’s bush and 2k bush. Dang 70’s bush could hide a Maus 😆. Rock on Tankers 🤘😎

[@wotaddictglobal]

Thank you very much for these series, Claus :)

[@jonnsmith180]

The Manticore should be "digging out the tick" T-00 LT. Otherwise his team is as compromised as theirs. If the enemy is in your zone of responsibility...do your job.

[@Flinsenberger101]

Interesting, thank you. I will change my LT games on this map accordingly. Usually i play D3 or D5. But it happens really often that i dont get much spotting because of not enough support from the back.

[@BalatonOZ]

Really like this series Claus. Thanks.

[@stephendverner]

Loving this series!

[@kimberlainodriscoll4781]

I play TDs. I use the spot in game 1. Sometimes an enemy light will almost run into me without seeing me. The camo from there is awesome. On the other side of the map I like to start at E3 and F4. Rule of thumb, change where you go depending on how the battle plays out.

[@jack-xf6il]

Awesome - thanks Claus!

[@markcrisp8905]

thanks for the op replays games i have used them and it helps in some games

[@crazytrain2254]

Thanks Claus.

[@luke_3_113]

Interesting stuff Claus K

[@garyhardison9265]

I’ve had great spotting games on both sides of the map but better on the south. Best heavy spotting game in my heavies is 6k plus spotting with my T32 heavy with plus 2 MM to carry the win on the south side

[@kizzzit5724]

GJ Claus !! Would like to know what a light tank is supposed to do on like Berlin ? Keep Them Coming !! :)

[@danam0228]

I didn't know there were so many maps. I only see 3 or 4 a day, if I play

[@stevendrake477]

That's actually a huge issue on console. Don't ask me why because I came back after a long time. But they got rid of a ton of maps, and out of the few there are I get maybe half of them. I can't tell you the last time I've played on a few of them

[@Whizzbang_Gaming]

Watching these videos will be the closest I get to enjoying WOT. On the Asia server only 10v10 now, the world has gone mad. At least I can still come here for a laugh.

[@bjhtubewwd]

GREAT VIDS CLAUS

[@armandosignore3120]

Not having Muppet Team mates who know how to shoot your spots is essential!!

[@TheBitter73]

So true. The 2nd game Claus showed had the LT in a platoon with a Leopard 1. That Leopard did 5k+ damage which I'm guessing was mostly if not all spotted by the LT. I was surprised that their team had a platoon and the opposing didn't. That is a huge advantage if they have voice coms. If you get 1 person shooting your spotted target it becomes contagious for the other players to start targeting the most recent spotted target.

[@darrellsymonds3299]

Huge Part of a light tank getting allot of damage

[@darrellsymonds3299]

Awesome Job King Muppet

[@Rapier100]

The fact that WG has fixed, not randomly generated maps, means that experienced players have the advantage (I won't even get into the mods that also give some advantages over others.) There is no fog of war in this game.

[@TheRealPulverize]

The weird thing in the last game was that for some reason without premium account both credit and xp values were exactly the same with or without.......

[@alex.mielus]

As a rule of thumb I use CVS (when allowed, otherwise use vents to boost camo and view, among other things), low noise muffler, coated optics, crew trained with camo, bia, recon, situational awareness. Always (!) use food in your lights (and spgs 🙄). If you set up your light tank and your crew otherwise for a spotting map, you're a muppet 🤭

[@alex.mielus]

And (depending on tank's view/camo) use a camo or an optics directive 😉

[@rosmundsen]

I have a suspicion that Mr Claus does not respect Quicky Baby.

[@ammarfv6366]

Nice haircut looking sharp

[@papasmurf_hero8213]

hate to ask this since i have liked this series but you are running out of maps are you going to do this with meds etc

[@michaelclarke8507]

Well in a over powering light tank there is all the bushes on all maps for it show lower teir tanks on maps please please please

[@Hyweed]

So... how do you suggest I play LTs with only camo and "decent" crew if I have to climb the tech tree and have to "at some point" play enough games to actually get exp for those perks and skills o.O Because that's the only reason I don't get into LTs, and when I do, well, great experience lel. facing LT players with 20k-50k+ battles under their belts sure is balanced and fun

[@wulfeman9948]

LIKE MAGIC BUSHES MAN

[@burleigh604]

What..... so how would u get those crew items without playing?????

[@2tone209]

AY UP CLAUS

[@stevewebster5729]

The Senlac is a great tank - it's a slightly more manoeuvrable Tortoise... 🤔

[@Willster419]

Nice

[@nimaljaya5431]

grousers.. haha i couldnt stop laughing

[@kenmayo6906]

Funny video for sure 🍸👍

[@geoffreyM2TW]

When mentioning optics and concealment as basics, you forgot to say you can easily put camo on your light tank. It is evidently too complicated for some players to figure out how to put camo on their light tank or on their TD.

[@anjkovo2138]

👍👍

[@michailleventopoulos2583]

Why then the system MM puts a Manticore that has full features to the max, with one that probably has just started? That is not even MM and therefore, the enemy starts with a huge disadvantage. And imagine this happening on maps that the LIGHT tanks are of OUTMOST importance for the completion and success of the battle .... Well? You have to start, by the way, to grind slowly and build your light tank from scratch (i.e. stock). The game is not PAY TO WIN! (At least, this was what I thought in the beginning! ). But, THIS IS VERY EASILY FIXED by putting SIMILARLY BUILT opposing tanks to the MM. For example, stock tanks with 3 perk crew, first level equipment (i.e. not bonds, bounties, e.t.c.), TOGETHER. And the overpowered tank builts (i.e. 7 crew perks, all bonds, all foods, e.t.c.), together. So? Would not that be more EVEN and JUST for all players? I have seen players starting with a Centurion 7/1 stock and were always, ALWAYS in Tier X battles, against tanks like 279s, Concept 1bs, T95/FV4201 Chieftain, e.t.c. How these player, will upgrade their tank, before becoming furstrated and giving up all together? Well?

[@matthewandrews9052]

Bushes are powerful. No shit Sherlock. Women have known this for millennia. They used their bushes to their advantage. 😁

[@posys5140]

I see muppet tanks in this game

[@kylemaki6510]

$hitty 50yo schmo,.. moi …great vids 👍👍, maybe something on meds as well? Top medium games on each map ? Thought it might be interesting, or maybe just selfish, cause I like medium tanks.

[@topirautiainen4453]

Would you sometimes do a rant video or any video about wot modern armor? Im a ps4 player and have noticed that there is need to someone call that bs going on there just now 😂

Like these new tanks that are so op that its not even fun HE works in new tanks but not old ones HUGE caps betweeen regular ammo and premium ammo penetrations No replays there, there was earlier possible to watch your own games but no anymore?

[@TheRmilliard]

lol So the mantacor bounces off the ass of a Russian LT from point blank but does around 360 damage to a JagTig from 100 miles away...sounds about right

[@josrimmenie2535]

Liked ur concept of the muppits. But you can also concept the gameplay of meds. But keep streaming the spot lights. It's always exciting to w8.

[@christopherholladay918]

I never liked doing light tanks.

[@RogueSquirre1-1]

I'll take a strong light tank player over the strongest heavy in any game. Not a clown, light tank, running all over the map, but one who knows the maps and can help the team.

So bit of a funny coincidence that the "most overpowered" light isnt the one getting the best spotting games hmm. Almost as if the Ebr is overrated or somethin pfft.

I am not appreciating your persistent pompous doche-bag impressions. You are above that. Stick to this great series .

[@bmw3401]

Ordinary promotion from WOT tips !! (Haha 10000 Damage) you don't get 1/4th of what you see here in real game!!! These bastards have a modified mod for promotions to see they are still in the top ranks, what he shoots is a hit!! if a tank hits him.. then a rebound... I guarantee that you won't have it that way!! and it will be the opposite on mil. % and besides... don't buy premium or premium tanks!!! it's useless anyway, the server determines the damage,,..determines victory and defeat .. If you upload min Damage to the opponent, the server will automatically flip and give Victory/ if High damage to the opponent - it is automatically Defeat.. You have a tank of 8 levels and you are approximately at the bottom of the team or on the bottom team composition, stacked from level 10 = It's automatically a win because you have no chance to shoot down Level 10 that is: min. damage = victory.!!! If you are on the highest rungs in the lineup, e.g. team level 8 to level 6 , Automatically = high damage to the opponent and you automatically = Defeat!! Server. BLOCKS....visibility, enemy detections, opponent damage, you can just do whatever you want :D !! it's wasted money!! You actually have more losses than wins in the game!! Ask yourself another question.. how many times have you recorded what you see here? (it's easy to play if you're an admin with a good game mode!), and this thieving company gives replays like this every day ... they're just lying to you and fooling you it's a great game, waiting for you to adjust the game mode to the minimum so that you can put real money into it!! Also note that they offer only premium or 10 level tanks, where you have huge losses in the game even during premium, especially if you use gold-i (premium cartridges)!!! , for 1 battle minus up to 8-20,000 cash... if not more... wt.

[@bobinmaine1]

Is it game rigging cheating when you upload your videos to KZbin at like -75% speed? Holy crap either Claus has had several strokes and every thank in the game moves at half speed or something is fishy here. He blinks in slow motion FFS. Wath the videos at 1.5 speed and you will see real Claus and real game play. Anything to get those extra couple minutes for the Algorithm, eh?
