How Sniping is Holding You Back

[@Hungvhtt]

2:27 It's not that you can't snipe with grille 15, WG wants you pay some extra tax to make sure your tank run smoothly.

So, in essence: Play like a support medium Peek when you know the trade is worth Spend the time reloading on strategizing

[@ZoMTDU]

basically same playstyle as if you play with big gun on the WT Auf Pz 4

[@soldier22881]

except good luck peeking without a turret, most tank destroyers dont have turrets which makes peeking very hard to do

[@TRUvoodoo]

The thing people need to understand is 1) it's generally easier to win close range fights when you have more tanks, because you can easily overwhelm the enemy and 2) sniping is only good if the enemy actually pushes you. There are of course exceptions to this and good players know the difference. Like going to the brawl at the blimp on redshire is garbage because if you want to push, you have to go through a crossfire that's easily covered by snipers. What TD mains often do though is just go to the designated cookie cutter spots provided by wargaming. Sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't. They have no way to know the difference and just sit there because sometimes they do have good games. What good players do is take their non-heavies to meta spots when they know it's possible to win it because more tanks gives a big advantage, like the corner on El Halluf. But they don't go to the brawls like on Redshire because they know it's easily defendable. In the El Halluf game where it started going his way, if his team had not taken the dip in the corner, he wouldn't have been able to do much, and probably would have retreated back to base to shoot the ramp. But since his team went in, it gave him a chance to be a second line tank and get good damage. You don't need armor in these situations, you just need teammates who take point and you are right there ready to help them when the enemy peeks. Average players don't understand finding this balance but it's what makes good players stand out and really helps them push the damage.

[@Rekkit_71]

Yooo TRUvoodoo ! I miss your videos.. 😢 Nice to read from you. You definitely get a point here with your analysis

[@aa1944-k2r]

the start of this video is the perfect showcase of grille experience. a lot of dummies look at the stats and say amazing accuracy, amazing aim time. this thing has horrible moving/turning dispersion and although the aim circle is one of the smallest in the game, it is not sufficient when you are handling enemy weakspots at 400 meters plus. WG changed the distribution of shots within the aim circle many patches ago, and grille 15 is one of those tank that suffer the most, because the change made the shell go to the outter part of the circle more often, instead of the center of circle. for a paper tank with no camo and BAD PENETRATION like grille, taking a shot is always risky because very likely you will bounce or miss completely, and then get spotted and die. one of the game i had earlier i fully aimed at the lower plate of the 60tp at 200-250 meters, bounced, i tried again, bounced again, and the 60tp wasn't even moving. with the mod i saw after game that the first shot went high just above the lower plate and hit the upper plate resulted in auto bounce. the second shot went low in to the lower plate and went under the tank, resulted in another auto bounce. normally these unfortunate shot is just RNG and is part of the game. but the problem with the grille is you have no armor, you are essentially driving a tier 5 tank in tier 10 game with no camo. so everytime you risk you feel it, you know you can easily have -600 hp and a kocked out gun and gunner everytime you try to take a shot. i currently do okay in this thing, but it requires a lot of effort and luck, you can't spot for yourself, your turret is not fully rotatable and is at the back. and everyone intitution swtich to HE to knock your gun out every time they shoot. this thing needs a buff. i can spend half the effort but do 3 times as good in the JPE100, E3, Ho-Ri or other TD simply because they mostly have a good combination of three of these: mobility+camo+armor+very good gun. and grille only have one, which is mobility. gun is poor with paper good accuracy but horrible AP and HEAT pen. obj268/5 is considered a bad tank by many people. but it has a turret, good mobility, some armor, has 30mm more AP pen and 60mm more HEAT pen, has DOUBLE the base camo of grille, has 200 more HITPOINST which is more than 10%. and remember, obj 268/5 is considered a ''BAD'' tank. the only down side for the obj in this comparision is the 30meters less view range. and i can guarentee you, you dont care about accuracy (0.35 is not even bad, its good) when you have 395mm HEAT pen which goes through the maus upper plate like not knife through butter (95% chance of penetration). good luck aiming with grilles ''superior'' accuracy.

[@Mango.1971]

@iyouxin i can understand why you sometimes feels like Mozart.. just remember that not everyone playing the Piano has the skills of Mozart.. and not all players ( my self included ) has the ability to remember reload times and to " Read " the map as fast as you do... But i learn alot from your videos,so thx mate.

[@ubertron_x4094]

One major problem with the Grille is that it does NOT AT ALL follow the characteristics and trademarks of that particular TD line. This means that all the tricks of the trade and playstyles that you might have picked up while playing Nashorn (good gun, bad speed, bad stealth), Emil (good gun, bad speed, bad stealth), Rheinmetall (good gun, bad speed, good camo, fully rotatable turret) or WT auf Pz IV (good gun, bad speed, good camo, fully rotatable turret) are immediately invalidated once you reach T10. As such you will need to learn to play this specific tank anew which can be very very painful, especially considering all inherent limitations that the vehicle has, like bad dispersion within the aiming circle or the only semi-rotatable turret which can make peaking obstacles very difficult. The armored German TD line is much much more consistent, i.e. when you know how to Ferdinand you basically know how to JgPz. E100.

[@Ultiferion]

What pisses me off is that mediums will sit the whole match at the back of a map trying to snipe just to get that one shot or kill just to die in a few seconds when the enemy team rush them. All because they barely used their gun most of the match at the start. What is worse is that people like this go in a game...sit the whole game and do nothing and find it fun ...

[@marcbjorg4823]

Come on, be honest Iyouxin. Wargaming has removed so many sniping positions in every map, that you are better of playing a good premium tank like the Obj. 752 or the IS-3A. Just look at Mannerheim Line, the right flank trees on the upper right base camp, which was a great defensive place, got removed. Every map has been ruined for snippers.

[@demetrioshristovski4518]

iyouxin, you have it partially wrong here. yes, sniping is certainly a problem. Combining HP, combining DPM, combining focus fire are certainly very big things that arent helped when a triangle is sitting back sniping. Alot of bad players need to learn this point, at least the ones genuine in wanting to improve. the problem with what you have to say, is team arguments and screaming and yelling people to people over not spotting. '''Noob light tank go spot''' And while yes, someone's job is not to spot for you, the underlying problem is not that this asshat is not spotting for you, it is that he is your teams light tank and not spotting for the team. That is the role. And these people arent like haglar, where when they are not spotting they do 4k dmg instead in the light. lts not that, they arent even doing 1k. Dont play light tank if you dont want to spot, better yet dont know how to spot. You handicap the team.
