Explaining Mechanics: How to Block Damage

Thick armor, streamlined turrets, well-sloped armor plates-all this increases a vehicle's survivability. But you cannot have a tank that's completely invulnerable. That's why you should learn to protect your tank. In this video, we'll tell you how to use your armor properly and drive away unscathed.

"Aim for weakness" Me: "okay" *aim canon at enemy's weakness, 95% of their hall is within the circle* *fire canon* *shell fly through the 5% gap* *arty immediately disables my tracks* *get one shot by TD from two miles away* *friendly light who rushed and died at the first 30 seconds calls me noob* Me: "okay"

[@ExtremeBass224]

Weakspots: shows type 5 coppola...

[@exhale5474]

Obj. 268 Version 4

[@friedrichmartin7082]

still it s weaker when u have 290 frontal armor and "just " about 250 on the coppola

[@ian3166]

Shows defender's lower plate

[@axelmilan4292]

There is a weak spot there, it’s only one square nanometer in size, but it’s there.

[@Whaley96]

Can you teach us how to block arty shells cause I'm bad at that

[@tsoliakos]

Please make the training room able to go in by myself only, so i will explore the maps

[@jeffpurcell7035]

Step One : play any Soviet tank Step Two : play any Soviet Premium tank Step Three : go to step one !

[@BlackKnightTWBG]

I was going to suggest play a Type 5 Heavy and hope the enemy doesn't spam HEAT at you, but yours is better!

[@klytouch7515]

I know right.. we never test the modern American tanks in wars.. hmmm.. yet I know that the Sherman tanks in world war two was sux.. hmmm.. I think we will have our opportunity soon.. hmmm.. yet.. what i am worrying about is it's coercive control of world economy.. hmmm.. because.. from my experience.. faster production wins the wars..hmmm 🙂

[@notvoina]

How to block damage : 1. Research the balanced Obj. 268 4 2. Press the red Battle button 3. Rekt every anime tank, nazi scrubs and baguette players with ur balanced gun 4. get 10K blocked damage cuz it's a soviet tank 5. Cyka blyat

[@axelmilan4292]

No frontal weak spots, totally balanced blyat.

[@rouymalic4463]

even in the sides no weakspot

[@LethalWalou]

rouy malic 100mm side armor, ''oh no how do i pen it, it's impossible''.

[@TheDiamondBladeHD]

6. Get destroyed by Rhm borsig shooting gold 7.??? 8. Disprofit

[@rouymalic4463]

LethalWalou i tried to pen it using my AMX M4 51 using prem rounds is still no effect

[@xidex8]

How to block damage? Simple here are few options: 1) research and buy Obj. 268 v4 and faceroll anything in front of you. 2) research and buy Obj. 257 and show enemies your side completely unangled, 1/10 shot pens. 3) buy Defender (aka Obj. 252 U) and laugh at T8 and lower.

[@friedrichmartin7082]

Every type 5 player has to be very good at the game cuz they always dmg me even when I m hulldown. they have to know every weekspot on each tank. for sure

[@MrCmdCool]

Regarding Your last advice in the video, when will ammunition shot in training rooms be free of cost?

[@gerritenjasper135]

Ofcourse the E5 is firing HEAT at the E100, and the type 5s cupolar is a weak point? Oh please...

[@ian3166]

I laughed every time they said the Defender had a weak lower plate

[@ian3166]

Plate*

[@adamantium2311]

reupload ?

[@lpg993]

How to block damage: Get lucky,if RNG is with you you can block any shell no matter what you driving.

[@axelmilan4292]

L PG bounced a Type 5 Heavy in my Primo Victoria. There goes all my good RNG for the next two years.

[@rajpawar9343]

Nice tips. Thanks.

[@tinders6494]

I've actually done the forcing the enemy to shoot tactic, but when they were experienced enough to not be baited but kept targeting me, I kept threatening to keep them from turning towards my teammates, which ended up winning us the battle in the end. The tier III BT-7 is so much fun!

[@StrikerAgar]

Why do you need to angle your tank when you have an Obj. 268 4?

[@joaopedrosantana3248]

This video should be called "How to make other players fire HEAT at you"

[@zirean3910]

"however, you cannot have a tank thats completely invulnerable" ----said wargaming after 9.22

[@SethusDA]

How to use your armor wisely? Play the ridiculously op Obj 268 4 and laugh maniacally as you bounce 300+ pen premium shells.

[@iknewit271]

Very useful information for newcommers.

[@tiagocosta8992]

Very helpful

[@theimmux3034]

Who would win? Advanced commander who is really experienced at sidescraping. Tap 2 key

[@ricto4127]

Sidescraping would win,sometime....

[@notvoina]

Who would win ? An anime fat heavy tank One explosive boi

[@w26240]

How to block damage? Get 268 v4. Simple as that.

[@eavyeavy2864]

Dumb

[@Nightmare_52]

Nice video, but sadly premium ammo ruins any reason to use armored tanks

[@rewesicherheitsdienst1018]

How to block Damage: Drive the new idiot proof Soviets, Comrade. blyat.

[@cryohellinc]

This further shows how disconnected the developers are from what is actually going in their game. This video is Outdated by 3-4 years. This is how you USED to play back in the day, when the game had actual balance. Now good luck sidecraping when they shoot heat at you, or rush with 4-5 tanks in 2-3 min battles which are a norm now.

[@iknewit271]

Please, give there some information about using view range and camo values. And how to use properly circles on a map. I will send it to every 'sniper' who asks me to run to 'spot' to enemies' base in the beginning of a battle.

[@djrobbe]

You said sidescrape at 70 Degrees.. what if the enemy shoots HEAT? well I would say sidscrape at 85 Degrees to all tanks.. Just to be shure..

[@Vasilinho84]

First rule of not getting damaged is: Don't get shot in the first place, angling and sidescrapping comes afterwards.

[@gojoamba]

Research the balanced Obj. 268 4 and press W

[@afko9842]

Buff cupola on obj 268 4. T54 pened me with 330 heat pen. Suka

[@horrorBG]

heavy tank mission 15 is near impossible with the premium ammo spamming .. blocked damage 2 times - hitting the "2" key and now pens every time :)

[@alientitimilk9073]

Why didnt you record the gameplay on the HD maps

[@fredericguignabaudet5679]

Because it's an old video which they just re-uploaded

[@friedrichmartin7082]

Whaouuu I didn t think that the IS 7s rear was a weakspot thx wargaming for this info

[@yanxu5931]

How to block damage, easy, just follow the steps above. Unless the enemy presses 2( which they do all the time) which then all you need to do is spam gold back at them and buy more premium tanks as WG will then rig the RNG in your favour

[@m_swizzy22]

Shadow Hunter wow you seem to be a really butt hurt player, maybe you should quit the game?

[@ian3166]

Sir_Flankalot[BZD] how about you keep begging your mom for more money

[@m_swizzy22]

thekiller 490 I’m rich enough thanks, didn’t choose being a military pilot for no reason dear sir!

[@ian3166]

Sir_Flankalot[BZD] thank you for your service. Sorry I hate goldspammers. Serious.

[@DigonXxX]

1st and most important tip: If they fire premium at you then do not pick a corner or you'll blow.

[@Filolia]

And then there are tanks that shoot HESH / HE. And what about overmatch mechanics? And the drawbacks of shooting HEAT (spaced armour) and APCR (big angles). And that most of these tricks won't work when someone is shooting premium ammo.

[@carterscott307]

Well this video was made before the obj 268-4 was released because that tank breaks every rule in the book .

[@Baleent7]

I love how they decided to "forget" about the object 257, T22 and object 907. They don't have a U shape hull, they have a damn V shape hull, what do you do with that? Why didn't they explain why it is so hard to penetrate in details like they did with e100? Well, WG just conveniently remained silent about them... Even they know how broken those tanks are.

[@filimaryus]

Got it... now what if enemy taps 2 key? How do I sidescrape then?

[@gus3967]

Woow you are cool guys !! Glory to World of Tanks 💻✌👌👍👏

[@BlackKnightTWBG]

You do all of this and then a wild FV4005 with 183 mm HESH round hits you and armor instantly stops working! Could have said any derp gun, but I that is one of the best examples! :)

[@xMorales_x]

Not gonna lie i never expected to laugh at a video like this. just look at this tank's shaking 4:40

[@brucalizer]

omd Duck tonk so OP

[@levoGAMES]

Fun fact: during all my years of WoT, I never fired a single premium shell.

[@williamaftonpizzeria]

Levo GAMES neither did i ! I mean why would i use a premium shell against an op tank then get raped with a -2k credit

[@littleface7060]

Does this work for blitz too?

[@Perunajumala]

Obviously.

[@Milan23_]

I think the best solution is to reduce premium ammo shells, example: player can use 7 per battle...

[@williamaftonpizzeria]

Milan Jovanov nope. That is not how you balance things

[@terratsa]

Now I demand a video of sidescraping with toaster and blocking damage with grille

[@luminous6520]

I need this for World of Warships.

[@yrush__marvel-_2791]

What about the Swedish tanks?

[@theboi9382]

good old WoT before 1.0

[@jpm5287]

I think WG forgot that they put gold ammo in-game. just dab that "2" key and forget about angling.

[@RatzBuddie]

T26E4 has "good armor" Lolno, it used to

[@Sverigetrotter0046]

How to ignore armor: Load premium ammo

[@afaydilek]

How do you handle that angle i just can't fkn do it...

[@fusemalaysia840]

I love news from heaven....so cool

[@Ghosteriz]

Duck guek guek bounced all shells.

[@EXTREMERC416]

Do like what they did in wot blitz reducing 15% dmg with apremium ammo

[@EXTREMERC416]

This made gold spammer less strong

[@vladislavgorshkov737]

We didn't even scratch them

[@hirokjyotideka5571]

You don't block damage, you hide. 2 key is what makes HT's useless now.

[@terratsa]

12:28 maximum bias

[@clipsonic4415]

Amx 40 duck tiers 9 and 10

[@philgriffin8687]

Press 2 and you dont care if they are angling correctly or not.

[@EXTREMERC416]

They posted the same videos from 3 years ago

[@wrdominicas]

then hit 2 key and win

[@chucklotro8749]

Where's the part about "lol fyi this is irrelevant when people dab dat tu kee "? or The advice to "play soviet b/c the e5 has a tumor"!

[@friedrichmartin7082]

Hem... I ve tried to sidescrape in front of a type 5 but he is still managing to hurt me what can I do. OOOOOH YES OFC THEY ONLY SHOOT HE

[@axelmilan4292]

Step 1. Pick “totally balanced” Russian heavy. Step 2. Let Russian Number Generator do the rest.

[@richardjunod1554]

T95 for blocking 😁

[@MoonWatch13]

unless you fighting against type 4/5 heavy, then you cant block shit no matter how good you use your armor...

[@Black_Gold_Saw]

yes now I know everything. Yet RNG does random bullshit... fix that!

[@cyclonegaming70]

How so I block shots against people spamming gold... oh wait !

[@User-go3no]

Why use old graphics?

[@rmpll]

because this video is 8 months old

[@Perunajumala]

Because of re-uploading.

[@DeadZombie1969]

can block anything as long as their is a #2 key with premium ammo that negates armor, then u have the HE. but naturally War gaming decided that doesn't count, which is idiotic.. sheesh

[@SuperMorganator]

Step 1: Play Bobject 268 v4 Step 2: Hope the enemy doesnt press 2 (even tho obj. 268 v4 doesnt care anyways) Step 3: ??? Step 4: profit!

[@HUMMER1301]

2

[@az18040]

you cant have a tank thats completly invulnerable unsless you have obj 268 v4...

[@rishavoo7]

So... how to 100% block Gold and HE ?

[@mxferro]

Lose the background music..its too loud and distracting

[@zkave1899]

Kv2 dont now what Armor is

[@TheSzatanshow]

How about make vid about armor when everyone just spam premium ammo - lets see how that will work Stop laying about armor to new players Stay still? - and get perma tracked dmg and killed by arty

[@kjellannn]

But then i pressed 2 and this video was obsolite

[@mbogucki1]

Why bother with this when people just load Gold Spam and pen you anyways?

[@colonelstriker2519]

AMX 40 too op pls nerf

[@jupless]

press 2 to counter this video

[@dasilvakemosabe2562]

jupless open your eyes hopeless

[@slavaukraini1655]

Wot Players getting in the battle field in real life wil think "hey i have like thuosands of HP taliban cant cant kill me in one hit😂😂

[@PulkkinenE]

Im unicum and i realize im waching this

[@xxxtrackerxxx7769]

with premium ammo all this is useless :(

[@dgk196]

Man, what great graphics! But, whats with the 'Arcade' like play of the game? No to be too obvious, but this is sort of like putting lipstick on a pig! If all you want is a game with great graphics, this is it! But if you are looking for realistic movement, deployment and tactical applications, forget it. Is there a 'realism' setting on this game? I've watched 'gamers' commentary video's on the game play. The 'kids' apparently think this how tactical warfare is conducted. I really like it when tanks take off like sportcars and jump up like a dirt bike! The level of coordination, apparently, between units is instantaneous or unneccesary! Really? But, it is enteraining, eh?

[@spreadtheworld1011]

it's reupload

[@Qwix6]

Jsme cz a jmenuji se na wto matilda_2017
