Thank you for marathon! And your explained mechanics videos are very good. Great job!

[@RagingRaptor]

Most important thing was the hitboxes of the bushes / how they look like and that there are only two coeficients 25 and 50 and it only goes up to 80 great job! Might make my own take on that topic too!

[@kevinxiehk2909]

Do a video on the normal distribution of rng as in accuracy, damage and penetration Probably state the chances of these randomly generated values are based on a standard distribution (I remember reading it somewhere) So that people cannot blame RNG all the time :)

[@marcohueber2713]

In my opinion the +-25% RNG has a greater density on the middle and a very low density on the extremes, like a Gaussian curve

[@ifyourmarriedyourasimpandacuck]

Nope but missing fully aimed shots is probably the dumbest mechanic of all time and is what killed off franchises like COD and battlefield (more players and larger budget) then this game

[@DushannB]

This is what we like.

[@JayMatth]

Great Video! The first one, that really gets this complicated topic right and also covers all details. Keep it up. You are on a good way in the last time!

FINALY I waited for this a long time thx Wargaming

[@moffepolle]

It has been in the wiki since 2011

[@antonmayr6412]

"we plan on adding 150% RNG to the camo system so less experienced players do not get punished as hard as they should for making mistakes by players who spent thousands of hours playing our unbalanced frustrating shitfest of a game, featuring horrible maps, terrible matchmaking that will happily add nine pure support tanks on each side so nobody can ever make a move and everyone sits around for 12 minutes, and laughable vehicle balance" -WG 2019 (allegedly)

[@misterdayne2792]

Really well done on defining what works and what doesn't work for the camouflage of bushes. I didn't know a fallen tree in a bush ciunted as extra, or that they had varying levels of effectiveness. Nicely done!

[@JCarter3000]

The media-marketing team has a perfectly subtle sense of humor: If you can make tanks funny then means you're talented lol! I downloaded WoT after a targeted ad personifying Tanks as a "game of cat and mouse" in a satirical narrated like BBC or Discovery channel Blue Planet format. I think this is the first game or service I've downloaded/purchased from an ad in over 3 years.

[@talal4468]

Well done explaining WG, good work.

[@moffepolle]

You mean like they did in the wiki they mmade 6 years ago ?

[@tan2cang93]

the fallen trees concealment is the coolest for me who play TDs. now I can set up my hidden place on my own.

[@mariannejensen349]

Thought there was something more to it. Could use those schedules, actually. Since a lot of people are expressing hatred on artillery, I think it would be much appreciated from their side, to see some material in how to deal with arty in play. Another thing, I could wish for, was the whole problem with trolls. Dealing with that. Being pushed, what to do, (my suggestion, would be to have a few positions to use, so in case a troll is pushing one out, you can leave the position to the troll, maybe go backwards in the troll, leave the position to him, rapport him for unsportsmanlike conduct, and find another position) or if the trolling is in teamdamage, (hold the fire against those trolls, in spite how intensively they ask for it, still not to shoot at them, but in stead again, rapport them)

Now you only have to make the visuals of the bushes be in line with the mechanics of them. So what looks like a dense bush doesn't have 'vision gaps'.

Thanks for the link, Tragic!

[@Gnaaal]

I've been specifically wondering about if height is measured in the 50m proximity (I've leaned both ways), and what actually happens to bushes when firing (I thought a tank with e.g. 5% camo when firing also only got 5% of the bush camo, so if it was a 50 bush, you'd end up with 7.5%, or something like that). Excellent video!

[@turi0710]

when the bushes within 15 m disappear when firing, do they disappear only for the shooting vehicle or all vehicle within this radius

[@chesphendshil8270]

yourself only. you cant get team mates spotted.

[@TJIGamesAndMore]

This video is actually amazing. Thanks!

[@antonikowalski7835]

I've been waiting for this for a long time

[@rvbamv821]

So if I am hiding in a bush, not moving or shooting, and a teammate next to me shoots within 15 m of said bush, does the camo boost of the bush disappear for me as well?

[@sleepysleepysleepyzzz]

Thank you very much.

[@Magmaa]

I would like it if you guys explained crew members, using same crew members for gold tanks etc.

[@asroyowironagoro6369]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@mariannejensen349]

I got to think of something, actually... You said that using allies for spotting, you will still have the 10 seconds extra spotting, right? What if the allies does have those spotting/hiding bonuses? Will that still be those 10 seconds?

Brilliant , thanks for all the efforts u are putting to the game , I have been playing this game since the Beta (Still didnt put any cash into it sry xd ) and i like all these changes you are implementing into WoT .

We are happy that you can use this tutorial! What is your favorite class of tanks? //Kayi4ek

[@longnguyenhong9014]

to increase the concealment, use Viet Cong soldier as your crew

[@JeromeK]

Are you guys working on the broken bushes? Many locations in different maps have bushes that don't work properly, and you seem to be always detected as you peek behind them. Seems like they have "holes" below them (i.e. bushes on top of ridge lines) and no matter the tank you use, it's as if they are not even there.

[@adamantium2311]

Next topic Map awareness and terrain exploit for different types of tanks with different carateristics

[@adriaandavel]

Terrain exploitation is nullified by arty, so it's an irrelevant topic

[@stephanmahefa3275]

great video, it's very useful :)

[@koyukitori]

I have 1 question Because you can use destroyable objects to hide behind so you can't be spotted. Can you use destroyed tanks to hide behind?

[@docs1496]

yeah, that fits

[@onesteeltank]

For the next episode can you tell us the different camo values of bushes

[@SC0RPY0N]

Just one question. Let's take a small tank, for example BC-12 t, you want to spot passively. It's the same thing, sitting exactly in the bush(covering visibility checkpoints) with sitting behind the bush from 0 to 15 m ?

[@MartinLatal-bt8ir]

Thanks!😇

[@filip527]

[@TacoTuna]

These tips vids by WG is extremely useful and might come back playing this when I have a new PC.Question tho,does the mechanics apply to Blitz?

[@anthonyiii1962]

Wow that's very helpful also I love how you explain it

[@larevuegaming]

Thank you for this video .

[@eclypse5081]

A way to see the effective camo radius of trees and bushes in the game would be nice where for example if you press alt you will see all the 25-Bushes in yellow and all the 50-Bushes in a deep orange so you can use all bushes effectively

[@phalanx3803]

topic for the next video should be about " Who in War Gaming had the stupid idea to use RNG? "

[@Hzo420]

Props to WG, the quality of these instructional videos is top notch! The music used in these clips is superb too (I absolutely love the track at 8:31), however I can't seem to find any info about it in the description. Were these tracks produced by Andrius Klimka and Andrey Kulik or someone else? Is there anywhere I could listen to the soundtracks used in these videos? I can see Raspberet and Kayi4ek lurking in the comment section, maybe you guys could help me out? :D Cheers!

[@crazyhedgehog66]

Very good video. Can the next video be on HE shell mechanics?

[@hirokjyotideka5571]

That moment when you try to use a bush correctly but don't have enough gun depression.

[@michakrawiec8217]

So if my max view range is 450m, then i can't spot vehicles that are further than 400m? Does it always subtract the 50 meters?

[@kartupelitish1903]

Hard to understand, but still works...

[@kfcplayz6038]

“It all makes senses” right I mean it does make sense it took you like 8 years to finally make it

[@RAVEN-xt8fi]

plz make video about how shot when tank is on the move

[@WorldOfTanksOfficialChannel]

This is easy, we do not need a video. Get to a full speed, aim towards approximate direction of the enemy tank, shoot and pray. There is very low chance to hit on the move, but it is worth trying ;) //Kayi4ek P.S. It also depends on a tank you are driving :)

[@blue_beepblue_beep6358]

Most maps have only ONE bush on a ridge after the Episode 1,0 DEFORESTATION patch... So blind firing is idiot easy!!!

[@NarrowAscent]

How long does spotting last. I literally cannot find this answered. How long once you are spotted if you conceal yourself are you concealed again? Is it that 14s max if you have the perks?

[@PUARockstar]

16 seconds max today. But it's mostly the usual 10 seconds.
