Finally!!. Is bush mechanics at part 2 ??

[@omgabaddon]

@@Splina. Doesn't work, it doesn't explain exact numbers for bush camouflage. We know they aren't solid and you can still spot someone behind a bush even if it's not transparent, I want to know how much camo it gives me exactly. Nothing better than knowing how far I can push my HT up the hill in prokhorovka before the guys in front of me can see me.

[@Cadadadry]

I remember reading there are two classes of bush, long time ago : light and full. How do I know which class is the one I'm in ? I don't, as no example was ever published AFAIK...

And now the video about how shells move inside your vehicle.

[@Breakdancingsquirrel]

There was a video about that in 2012

[@MrKamil942]

Finally! Game mechanics explaintation. Like in WoWs. Good Job!

[@WorldOfTanksOfficialChannel]

What do you know about concealment? Tell us!

[@matuszelenak6503]

it doesnt work on many maps (broken bushes on prokhorovka hill, fishermans bay mid etc)

[@stefanmonroe8548]

bigger tanks do not necessarily have lower static camo factor.

[@seonruiz4835]

I have extreme camo on my bc12t.

[@crusher8159]

The introduction of tier x light tanks makes players to let go of the idea of concealment. Except Swedish TDs

The destroyed enemies are sure to appreciate it: "reported cheater! unfair plane!"

[@sonicfan2004]

*Small tip:* You could make the game more beginner friendly by integrating such videos into the Boot Camp. If a beginner has watched the whole thing completely, he'll get a camo net for free. I know that this is regulated in Minsk and not by you, but you could recommend it to them or something. :)

[@larevuegaming]

After all years Finally . Just Thank You Wargaming !!!

[@thundervibe]

This is not " the time" .. it's been long overdue . But finally it's here.....

[@benjihuh927]

we finally have a new explaining mechanics video! Please do more!

[@silentscorn5072]

I know all of them but I still watch them. Keep up the good work!

[@scobbydoo773]

Been waiting for this video along long long time. Thanks. Don't wait so long for the next video.

[@blackroan6172]

Please explain spall liners more clearly.

[@CIoudStriker]

As someone who likes to play derp heavies, I second this.

[@misterdayne2792]

Doesn't it already explain itself? 10% less stun when hit, 50% protection versus HE and from crew damage, right?

[@Darren_v]

Spall liner increases the armor you got against HE/HESH, so for example someone hits you on your 200mm upperplate the (heavy) spall liner will increase your armor by 50% (percentage depends on what type of spall liner) on the spot you got hit BUT this is only affective if you get hit by HE/HESH. If the HE/HESH shell penetrates it will do full dmg (NO REDUCTION EVEN WITH A SPALL LINER!). So in short: it's more useful on heavy armored tanks like the Maus, Type 5, T95. Although I do not recommend using a spall liner as it isn't really effective.

[@kelogorn]

@@Darren_v It's pretty useful on some tanks, for example i use one on my Tortoise together with a premium med pack, which gives +65 % protection to my crew, which in practice means that i barely ever lose crew members and dont even have to use med pack. Plus the stun duration reduction is nice as well, although it's not that much.

[@randymotter51]

@@kelogorn Definitely, Once I manage to unlock some of the slower, heavier vehicles a spall liner will be choice equipment given all the artillery nonsense and derp guns. Even non derp HE spam from tanks that cant pen your angled armor will be mitigated a bit, and big heavy vehicles need all the survivability they can get. I would honestly give up vents for it.

[@portentouslad5051]

HOLY YES FINALLY! Now put this video series in the game client and give people a little gift for watching it to the end.

[@piggy6394]

This video is good. Can't wait for part 2

[@JoelMuddlestone]

5 years of playing this game then l finally find out that we only have to apply camo paint on the hull. Turret and gun camo only for aesthetic value! This is the most useful 13 minutes l've spent on KZbin!

[@cosmintirlea7095]

I don't want to be negative, but they've said this when they reworked camo patterns and added paints.

[@missq4024]

This video should be uploaded a long time ago, very useful

[@darkman3530]

[Miss*] q I guess it's never too late lol

[@petarvidovic2025]

hey WG, finally you are doing this, and you need to do a lot more videos that explain mechanics in game, cuz i think that only above avarage players know this and we found infromation ourselfs i know just from few friends tha play that even avarage players dont have firm grasp on BASIC machanics you should include explaining mechanics in battle training (tutorial) and not just teach how to point gun in general direction of target and pres left mouse button

[@TheSupgun]

Such a high quality video! Love it

[@jakob5656]

Awesome guide. Nice job wg!

[@bertos55]

Please explain bush concealment, the different levels of transparency etc. Great video!

[@JohnBlack93istaken]

Nice video, my question is about bush size and how it influences cammo depending on your vehicle size

[@mark3863]

Thank you, really helpful info.

[@movevoldy]

Does water affect camo?

[@asfairos0075]

we waited so many years but you have finally releashed it thank you !!! now...is it possible to impement this video inside the game ? it would so much usefull for new players

[@federicorossi6550]

Plz make more vids like this, they are instructive and helpful!!!

[@epiqai208]

"Light tanks have above average view range" *Looks at T-100 LT, which has less view range than some Tier VIII heavies*

[@Kzaerlol]

And IS7 with decent crew skills will easily have max view range

[@majstealth]

@@Kzaerlol well it is a russian tank, wait some months and it got an autoloader too..^^

[@pancakebeast7368]

It's been 84 years (since realease), and they finally explain mechanics. GG

[@hionmaiden663]

Does it mean that open top vehicles i.e. Type 64: Hellcat; Rhm etc, have a disadvantage because they can not equip Vents? Or is the % increase that vents give on the camo value automatically applied to the open top vehicles? And if not why not?

[@lucarioussr.3761]

Is there any delay for camo stat to change from moving to stand still ? Like when i moving and stop right before a light tank come to the 445m, does the light tank will spot me instance be cause i just move or he must travel a while more to spot me?And how long the camo drop after firing to change back to normal?How long for the bush if it transparent?

Wow I thought I knew all about the concealment in WoT but I learned some new numbers. Cool

[@ba-eg3cg]

How long after firing does the tank regain its "not firiing" (full) camo values? In an example, I shoot, dont get spotted and how long should i wait before further action to have again my full camo values? Same question for the movment, If i stop, do i get my full camo values imediatelly or after certian time? Thanks for answer.

Great video. Still learned something. Btw what is the name of the song from 10:17?

[@Zolinymusz]

Hello! If stopped with any tank, but not LT, how many seconds to got a stopped tank 100% camo, and if shot how many seconds to got again 100%?

[@rammelstein4099]

Could you make a vid about crews, dont know if I do smth wrong, but when I'm grinding a line, and use the same Crew, it takes me ages, untill its back to 100%.

[@MAMRA]

Very nice explaining

[@DoomTurtle1]

It be nice if you put these kind of videos ingame for starting players to learn as part of the tutorial and reward them with cammo for watching and practicing em

[@Svetlana_Setorovskova]

Put this type of video directly in the tutorial, this is really important for new player

[@lorenzowot2900]

Useful as always!

[@pixl3l]

Hard to have questions when there is another part coming, or is that not made yet and you want to know what people wonder about maybe? Well here is one, more of a statement then a question though, how come you did not mention max spotting distance (445 m) and how it works if the view range of a tank is over this distance and it actually helps with spotting.

[@R1egn]

I thought I knew all the mechanics but the special lack of camo for O-Ni and some Light tanks having less camo while moving was news to me. So what light tanks are they talking about?

[@TarKior]

Yes we want more !

[@karolygaudi6416]

Crew mechanics would be nice like how should I transform them from one tank to another. And what crew members should I let go/keep

[@BratuB]

Why are the Type 4 Heavy and Type 5 Heavy still in the game ?

[@TheIllio]

I don't mind them being in the game, but I do mind derp guns in general being in the game.

[@risobenc1700]

i have a question : in video you say that all bushes works is it really true? how can i recognize which bush works and which do not? Because there are lot of bushes which do not works and they are just garbage on the map. Thank you for your answer!

[@Fjordzera]

depends on the thickness of the bush

[@MistrErat]

Tell us what bushes have what camo values. I know some bushes have almost 0 camo bonus even tho they are pretty big, some are so good you get spotted only on proxy. Also a lot of bush camo values changed after 1.0, why?

[@jeroenclysters3446]

plssss make more of this kind

[@TheIllio]

I didn't know that part about different concealment values for different gun types or calibers as well as burning vehicles.

[@ASD-uv7ze]

Great, now nerf Obj 268 4

[@Snowcatsrt]

Great video! But please WG put these videos inside the client so that players who don't watch KZbin have a chance to see this

[@Filipas-el9sp]

this video should have been uploaded 5 years ago... I struggled myself for 2 years to learn those mechanics perfectly...

[@humphrey10-88]

Question: how long does it take for you to regain camo after firing your gun?

[@Apocalypse0505hun]

About 3-5 seconds.

[@CruelViper88]

I hope it get's explained in the next part how I sometimes still get spotted while I'm hiding behind a bush.

[@Pram4]

Your 3d videos is so good

[@anonymous2695]

Empty your magazine into bushes. It doesnt cost anything. Except for all my credits that is :P Regardless, loved the vid. Only 1.26% downvotes. You finally got this right WG!

[@OliverXRed]

Can you explain bushes more in depth, because it is not known by many that different bushes gives different amount of camo bonus.

[@johnny_123b]

How does the last 50m concealment work? Like if both vehicles are in bushes, one of them is trying to spot another, will one of the spot another sooner, while remaining unspotted, or will both get spotted at same moment?

[@Apocalypse0505hun]

Both get spotted at the same moment. 50m range means auto spot, doesn't matter you are behind bush,rock whatever.

[@johnny_123b]

@@Apocalypse0505hun Okay, what about before 50m. Is it possible that one tank would spot another in bush before 50m? Like in Prokhorovka bush line on left side. Can a well equipped lt outspot camping guys in the bushes?

[@Apocalypse0505hun]

It depends on that, he is IN the bush or he is BEHIND the bush, its a great difference. If the answer he is IN the bush the answer is YES he can be spotted before 50m in some cases even outspotted. If the answer is BEHIND the bush, then the answer is NO, he cannot be spotted before 50m, only if he shots his gun.

[@johnny_123b]

@@Apocalypse0505hun So in case of Prokhorovka or Pilsen where there is a line of bushes and both teams are pushing through bushes, meaning that tanks are in the bush and also bush in in front of them, would that mean that tanks spot eachother at minimum distance? In my experience it's not always like that

[@Apocalypse0505hun]

In case of prokhorovka its not that simple. The terrain is so hilly and there are lots of "tree bushes" and most times the lights take the upper part of the 1-2 line. So they see over the bushes.

[@middelpunt8703]

What about the seven visibility checkpoints and two view range ports?

[@rihardsrancans2987]

This needs to be in game, not mainly in yt, cuz if player would like to learn and this stuff isn't in game they will definitely go on and learn from another players (yt, twitch, etc.) and wail it maybe good, it makes your game look bad for not giving proper tutorial to new players and some of players maybe not be so eager to go and learn if it is not available in game.

[@terraflare2962]

But wasnt muzzle breaks added to tanks so the smoke cant be spotted and eventually the tank it self 7:15

[@Apocalypse0505hun]

Nope, they are added for reducing the recoil of the gun, so they can mount bigger guns on smaller chassis, also they clear out the smoke from the front of the gunner's optic, so they can land accourate shots easier and don't have to wait for the smoke to clear out. The con. of the muzzle brake is that, if someone stands next to the gun (most tanks in reallity are supported by infantry) will have a really bad day.To be honest the velocity of the gases coming out from the gun will shred him into pieces or at least seriously injure him.
