WOT - Five Tips To Improve Your Gameplay | World of Tanks

[@ClausKellerman]

There may be other key tips I have not covered. Send me some clips so we can share and improve together as community....

[@shemphoward999]

excellent tips, sir...moron repellent is my go to module apart from gun rammer...

[@grumpykingtiger4593]

Map positioning is absolutely important. However, it doesn't work when you're positioned where you're supposed too, and the 14 other players are doing a lemming rush on the other side of the map. They end up getting wiped out and the last player becomes a speed bump! LOL!

[@staxuevewot2216]

Claus Kellerman how to send a replays to you, for series the biggest a$$hole for example

[@AlvinMcManus]

Where to you find these assholes? EU server? I have only encounter 1 asshole of these types in 4 years NA server.

[@hatman4818]

Honestly, I think wargamings ever increasing micromanagement of player behavior in WOT has backfired and is one of the reasons why I quit playing, like removing all team damage and all chat, so now dickheads like this resort to just pushing teammates around, while teammates have no recourse besides hit the apparently useless report button. They should really have just taken WoWs method. Allow team damage. Quickly mark vehicles that team damage too often in quick succession. Then turn off team damage for the perpatrator, and give amnesty to the rest of the team for executing a troll on the spot. It's not a perfect system, but it is a quick and efficient method. Forget trying to police troll accounts, give the players the option to eliminate these dipshits themselves. Used to be trolls would take advantage of team damage to make other people look like "TKers" by goading them into shooting first, but with the new physics, ramming a teammate and causing ramming damage like that would go a long way to stopping that exploit.

[@simonstevens8434]

Claus, your channel has now surpassed the game itself for my attention. It is far more satisfying than the game itself. Watching this is always a win, WOT not so much, sadly, where even winning itself can be unsatisfying. Oh. And you don't send me angry chat messages.

[@giacommocobreirecords9925]

[@ThelvaldCam]

Those trolls should be dragged out in the streets and beaten to death.

[@divisiona3974]

Yeah, wtf did they remove that!?

[@pirig-gal]

Double-edged sword. I haven't experienced this myself, as I started after team damage was removed, but watching some old replays, it feels worse. True you could shoot an asshole, but the asshole could shoot you. I'd hate getting one-shot by, for example an ISU-152, becasue I'm not spotting where/how he wants me to spot. Now, if only WG started actually taking action, maybe people would stop doing that. And repeated offenders should get worse punishments. Up to, and including, account deletion.

[@lukasz3345]

Honestly WG dose not give a fu..k about team damage/trolling. You can report it but he will keep playing . I know a player that tried to get banned purposely for trolling and after 600 games he has give up.

[@rhecyeeyeejake7184]

Anytime I consider trying World of Tanks again (after quitting a few years ago) I watch one of your videos and confirm I made the right choice and feel better about my choice. All maps too small, inexplicable RNG, frustrating players, and Russian bias to name a few reasons.

I must confess. I was sooo disappointed when upon clicking to begin the video, I didn't hear the initial inhale and the first condescending word explaining "that if you would only follow these specific tips, you too will become a Unicom like me" come out of my speakers. Instead it was sort of a cheerful Claus who had just had his coffee, a brief but brisk sprint around the yard with Marty, a croissant and half a hit of maple syrup. I almost unsub'd. Then I realized how deviously clever this Kellerman is. Wrapping up a "Greatest Asshole" feature into a thinly disguised beef burrito that by all outside appearances was a chicken fajita.

[@generalpublic3744]

Tending their Moose Herds, the Swedish yodel was a call frequently heard over the hills and woodland where the moose would respond and gather. Now largely forgotten and passed into Swedish folklore, the only yodeling you may hear is in the Swedish suburbs at bathtime, where yodeling has been passed from generation to generation to keep the old ways alive. Yes, yodeling is associated with the Swiss, but they know it was the Swedish who taught them, hearing it across the battlefields of Northern Europe as the Swedes under Gustavus Adolphus expanded their empire. In fact it is well known the Gustavus himself was a keen yodeler.

[@marcuswivallius4363]

This is true. Thank you for being properly historically accurate on this.

Played for 9 years now. I have never seen anyone banned for screwing over their teammates. As long as you pay you will not be banned. Had one very bad day irl back when there was team damage. Killed dozens of teammates, never warned, never banned.

[@mrkekson]

They do get banned sometimes, GDPR prevent WG to report it. Usually they got a few days.

[@leepii]

@@mrkekson I don't buy it. 9 years, not once have a talked to any player that has been banned. I know multiple players that admit they use cheats on discord, never banned. Banning, like reporting is just a fairy tale so people think wargaming does something.

[@russ01539]

@@leepii We have a player in our clan who has been banned regularly for shooting teammates, and chat banned for insults, in fact he has been banned for pretty much everything except cheating. They start with a one day ban and go up to 3 months. Thankfully since they removed team dmg he has only been banned twice for insulting behaviour. He has anger management issues.

[@robertbarton4776]

I found this hard to watch, too many memories

[@alex.mielus]

They were wondering why people do team damage. This entire video is the definition of "why people do team damage". I did it, too, and I will definitely do it again if they reactivate it.

I would regularly execute assholes. Spent a third of my time in game "blue". I will always out asshole an asshole.

[@darinmoore265]

Agreed! Maybe WOT will start enforcing their rules. Not likely...

[@arok2663]

Hey Klaus o/ If you're into that, yodeling is a Tyrolian thing. There is indeed Swiss Tyrol yodeling, but there's also German and Austrian Tyrol, and they use different syllabes when they yodel. Yeah I know, exciting heh ! You probably never heard of Austria... For us in Europe, their most famous accomplishments were to make the rest of the world believe that Mozart was Austrian, and that Hitler was German, no small feats if I may say so my-self ! (They also produce XXL-sized Governors of California) And you're 100% right about the triangle ! Great channel, keep it up ^^

[@tingler828]

I loved the way you slipped in the 5 biggest AH's... My vote is the arty pusher.....arty's have enough troubles with the roller skates in the game.

[@flukeman022]

This shows why even though they removed team dmg they should not had removed changing players to blue. I've shot team mates and got shot by accident but if you did it twice in a battle then you should change colour. And probably be good idea if you shot a team mate the dmg geos to the person doing the shooting? But can't find a link to wg to leave feedback.

ok,i was confused and shocked at the beginning because of that serious intro but then the shit came up and i felt familiar to what i saw

[@JaimeWulf]

I was at first confused then about near the end of the first clip I realized you were being sarcastic ofc... I also now realize from reading some comments that reporting someone is useless and why WG'ing made team damage a thing of the past... Outside being pushed off cliffs or some such method... They dropped it because they don't want to review their logs and watch all these videos... They just want you to give them more money... I'm willing to bet if we paid them to ban these players then that would change dramatically... But I also know this won't happen because those players probably drop a lot of cash into this game and they'd decide it wasn't worth it for them...

I came back to WoT after the two years of absence and couldn't find the auto resupply checkbox. So yeah, I went to the battle without a medkit and repair kit. The checkbox and the label are almost blending with the background. At least on my monitor. Edit: Oh, yes, I've almost forgotten about one thing. I had auto resupply turned on when I was playing two years ago, but WG decided to disable it with one of the latest patches.

If you pay a premium account I would recommend to send a ticket stating that you pay for the product and you could not use it because of the other player harassing you.You can ask them not to put you in the same team with the offender again and if they do you can sue them or you can ask for all money back for a premium tanks and premium account due to the fact that WG is not able to guarantee that when you pay for the product you can use it.
