Don't Know how to Play Mid on Fisherman's Bay? Watch this guy Carry from it

[@Birdman369]

The position he was in gets instantly countered if arty actually looks your way, the second 6th sense goes off you get smacked for 400 and stunned. I was in the 121 in that exact position but had two tier 9 arties, got clicked to death after 3.5k dmg. Couldn't even run due to being stuck in a crossfire, just hugged that building and prayed that arty misses.

[@superperroquet5841]

yeah the problem is you cang et stuck in that position pretty quickly if your counterpart can spot you through the bushes.

It wasn't like he was giving anybody easy shots. He made himself very inconvenient to hit so the enemy chose to shoot at more convenient targets. HP preservation is the name of the game and his was anything but luck. The guy has 3500/61% recents - that ain't luck.

Yupp, he is mostly lucky! That position is usually not that strong. Weak camo value in those bushes.

[@amindamok]

Because of this play right here (because someone tries it from the south every single game) I always play from the bush at the bottom of b8 and blind fire that corner continuously until the city gets set and engaged. Longer if anything stays there.

[@kylelanger8611]

Circonflexes really likes those bushes from the opening as well. The bushes on the other side there are a little broken so you often see through them and they don't see you. You can even double bush there against enemies in the mid, it's really broken. Good times.

[@jewishmonarch6657]

I gotta say, I've tried this many times and it rarely fookin' works. Soon as there's even a whiff of suspicion I'm there the Sky cancer all triangulate blindfire and proceed to wear me like a cock-sleeve, still if you can make it work without being thwacked from above it's a decent place to be. Congrats to this guy, that was a killer game he had.

[@SimbianMinistry]

That line of bushes at F6 - Go there when I'm artying from the North, and you WILL get clicked - My first shot is almost always a blind-fire just past that tree.

[@failsafe123123]

one of my favourite maps. Whenever possible I play position on top of the hill, it always allows to snap some shots on various occasions, but in the same time, with 3 artas or very aggresive enemy, it is easy to die there in first minutes. Important thing is to have some support. Many times when I have been on the hill with no support, whenever enemy found out that I'm alone he just rushed my position and that was it. It is not a difficult map, but You need to pay attention to what is going on and choose wisely where to go. Compared to the Great Wall - huge map, where most of the vehicles fight seppparated, this map actually allows to keep a full front against the enemy and redistrubute fire towards different locations. Having said that, I must admit that I've never played it that good as the guy in the rep ;-). Not even close...

[@schuhsuppe7228]

Fishermans Bay is bad? Stuzianka: Hold my Piroggi

This guys is just lucky to have a good match making, honestly. First of all, there is no EBR kind of things to keep him constantly lite. Secondly, the enemy's MT are so bad at spotting. If either one of the above factors changed will force him to backup. And if he backup from arty cover, he got to deal with the arty like us most of the time playing this map. And the third factor to let this magic happen is the enemy HT don't give a damn that MT lost the hill and still push. They were basically rushing to garage. In my opinion, this guy just being so likely to have a dumb enemy team.

If you sit in just the right spot no one can directly shoot you and arty can only splash you. That's why the arty didn't bother, he rather shoots tanks he can hit flush.

And I don't really like the end game play. It was so risky. He was just having his finger crossed, hoping the enemy could show up one by one, and hoping his dumb teammates would kinda wakeup if he fucks it up. Coz what could possibly happen was the enemy feeling uncomfortable to push so they regroup and fall back. He could throw this game away if he see four tanks as once. Full health is not a lot in high tier. One mistake is able to end your game. The safest way to win to is stay in his camping bush to support his team to cap and def his base at the same time. by holding the the he can do both. And enemy team can't challenge the hill since they are slow tank and in low hp.
