Taugrim, you are running one of the best (if not the best) yt channel with wot content. This vid was exceptionally good because you overcame all downsides of this LHMTV. Apart form that, I really liked your 'academic' approach with a pause for me to challenge myself with some map situations. If there would be a 'wot academy', you would be my best professor. Keep it up bud!

[@benbowland]

"wot academy" dude that's too funny! I can totally imagine it: Quickybaby: the professor who all the new students love because he teaches all the intro courses Taugrim: the young hotshot professor who the other staff secretly hate because at 30 years younger he's published more papers than they have. Secretly more fit than anyone in the athletics department Lemmingrush: the grad student TA who is equally as likely to teach one of your courses and bump into you at a party Skill4ltu: the "never worried" professor who is so experienced that he barely takes anything seriously anymore Jingles: the counselor that you visit when you just need a little break from it all Circon: president of the biggest fraternity on campus. part-time meme dealer

Taugrim, it's not the tank your previewing, it's the thought process you go thru that helps everyone. Most players do not have your level of awareness, me included, and it really helps to know what goes thru your mind during these game sessions. I'm just WAY too aggressive, I know this, and I try to temper that, but it's really tough knowing my team will just sit in the back and do nothing. You really need to come back and keep these vids up, it's a huge help to me and the WoTs community.

[@mikespark72]

This is the epitome of super unicum tank. So disappointing that they didnt buff it after the first part of the supertest. The minor buff on the manticore isnt nearly enough, and the fact that the manticore only has 2 crew is unreal.

[@sethsherlock9694]

Honestly I don't even know if it IS a Unicum tank. The best tanks for unicums have something that is hard to exploit but doable with skill. The Brit lights just...don't have something to abuse. DPM is too low View range even with crew skills and food isn't high enough No HE memes Not fast enough Overmatch able armor Not comically hard to hit And worst of all, it has poor gun handling ON TOP of the bad DPM. One if the underrated reasons french wheelies aren't associated with crap DPM, they fire on reload. This thing needs to aim LONGER than most scouts. Tl,Dr Yeah it can do well, but there is nothing this tank does well enough that another scout couldn't equal and do better in other areas.

But once you have mastered flank lining and reload, the 50B is a pub stomper and ram machines that, while punishing for pubbies, pros can carry with. Pershing line Not fast Not armored Guns are average Pros Depressing depression Snap God/on the move View range memes 9/10 the Soviet line wins with average player. But Unicum, I would almost never bet against them in the US line in a 1v1. You aren't as fast or armorered, but you have snap shotting and view range coupled with depression to make you the penultimate second line tank when you know how to fight. For lower tiers of similar concept T20 Comet Other tanks that come to mind that are okayish normally but good players exploit Tiger1. (Permatrack, hp trading, inferior armor management, DPM abuse) Leos (average player just melts, good players are constantly repositioning to get flanks or falling out to avoid getting rushed) Amxm454 (average player won't position well enough to make the tank worthwhile. Unicum can actually abuse it's armor to make it seem balanced) M4rev. Made of paper but with a gun of God. Now the better question is, what tanks are bad in such a way unicums can't fix? Maus, E100 both do better in Unicum hands, but the gap is smaller because their isn't much they can exploit beyond a competent players ability. The Brit lights have this issue that, there really isn't anything to exploit. They can't outsnipe Can't outrush Camo isn't better enough DPM is comically bad Hp and armor are...eh. There just isn't any single thing that warrants their use over a t100 or god forbid an rhm ..

[@taugrim]

T20 is a great example of a Super Unicum tank. Low DPM, but really nice gun, great camo, gun depression, and mobility. So a classic vision and flex tank.

[@TheHighborn]

On the second map, after the ebr rammed you i'd have just gotten up and grabbed a cup of coffee to calm down. Probably that's why i have 47-48% winrate

[@taugrim]

Oh, I was pretty ticked in the moment. If that EBR had gotten me killed, I'm 99% certain we would have lost. Our UDES has paper armor, and the Bat Chat 25t has low DPM / very long clip reloads. We won because I stalled their push from the 1-2 lanes and bought us time. Notably: 1. I spotted/damaged the E4 for his entire HP 2. Same with the M4A1 3. I spotted the kill shot on the Skorpion 4. I spotted a shot the Bat Chat 25t and drove him off, preventing him from spotting It's amazing how much of a difference one light tank can make when properly played.

[@TheHighborn]

[@jasontrauger8515]

Another great video, Taugy. Answering your questions, for me, is a little hard. Watching the Minsk battle, I immediately was looking for an egress route, from the center island back to spawn, before you even prompted the question. But, I was looking at the, from the stand point of trying to figure out if I valued the 45.02 B and Jageroo more than the B-C and UDES. Ultimately, I'd have decided to stay but I wouldn't have felt good about it. With regards to Airfield, that is just a tough game to watch. The path down the soapy rocks is a 50/50 on you dying to a crash. So, I'm sure that was going through your mind and even more so when you ping-ponged off of the rock at the bottom. But, you did the right thing but only because the situation was made that way, due to the enemy team's artillery, AfricanHoodlum, being an awful SPG player. His position, on top of that hill, is ok but not great, for taking angles on Airfield. Given that position, he didn't have a great angle on your perch which, in turn, meant that he didn't bother taking shots. If he had, he'd have forced you off of that hill and the game probably takes a different turn. BUT, that is all "alternative history- what if" stuff. What you did was right but, like Minsk, I was looking at the egress route down the rocks, sooner than you. In both cases, you made the right decision. Where those decisions differs from a lot of people is 1) your overall skill level being higher than others and 2) your comfort level in these tanks and in WoT in general. Let's be honest, you're running tanks with no premium ammo. Most everyone would have dabbed the #2 key, a long time ago, and then run for the hills. Your "nerves of steel" is predicated upon experience and confidence. In terms of both battles, I'd actually ask you this: If you had taken the egress route earlier, what do you think that you could have done that would have netted the same positive results? If you'd have gone city, in Minsk, and helped the heavy/TD, based upon the video evidence and extrapolation, would that have helped save them and still kept the win? If you'd have rolled off of the rocks, sooner, where would you have gone and how do you think that would have worked? Trauglodyte

[@taugrim]

> But, I was looking at the, from the stand point of trying to figure out if I valued the 45.02 B and Jageroo more than the B-C and UDES. Ultimately, I'd have decided to stay but I wouldn't have felt good about it. I almost never feel good about brawling in city against higher-tier heavies unless I know I'm going to get help. The issue with helping the Jageroo in city is he's non-turreted. I can't rely on him for help unless he pushes. He's also got a fearsome gun, so I knew he would buy time at the worst in city. Vision control is easy to do, allows me to work my gun in while enabling others to fire. > The path down the soapy rocks is a 50/50 on you dying to a crash That spine descent is the "safest" way to get off that shelf aside from the entrance. I'm usually about 75% make it down the spine without damage. I go slow though as I have gotten stuck / crashed. > Given that position, he didn't have a great angle on your perch which, in turn, meant that he didn't bother taking shots You are absolutely right. Had that arty meaningfully threatened me on shelf, it would have make my situation much more dicey. As it was though, I gave up 500 HP stupidly to the VK due to still being lit. So that was a mistake on my part. > Let's be honest, you're running tanks with no premium ammo. Most everyone would have dabbed the #2 key, a long time ago, and then run for the hills There's nothing wrong with using premium ammo - it's in the game. I just think it's problematic for tank balance and balance between players since it's a big credit sink. > In terms of both battles, I'd actually ask you this: If you had taken the egress route earlier, what do you think that you could have done that would have netted the same positive results? In Minsk, my playing the vision game was the only way we were going to win IMO. On Airfield, the issue is there isn't really a good place I can go spot that wasn't already covered. Our AT15 was on the C2 shelf (northwest), and our UDES 14 5 was correctly playing south hill. I couldn't go north due to the HWK12 and especially while that VK was still alive. It's possible I could have gone south, but had I done so I think we'd have lost north. What I typically prioritize is making some I go to a position of relevance for my gun and for providing targets for friendlies who are in a position to support me. I was able to help our AT15 put critical damage on their tanks on north hill. Thanks for asking the questions - this is great dialogue.

[@uncle_creepy2743]

Looks like the sp1c playstyle. Great vids man

[@retro61]

A lot of head scratching at 23:48: you're unspotted, but there's clearly a shot lands behind you when you're on the shelf. Can only assume the Lansen was spotted by the VK who took a pop at him. Unless the Lansen was taking some weird snapshot at the Progetto (because WoT)...

2nd battle I would have rotated to city normally. You would have brought an overmatch there with numbers. But with 2 TD's and a fellow OTTER backing you up field, I think it was the best call to stay and spot.

[@samaguirre3283]

I really like this light tank of this tech tree line for this nation, as for the first play I probably should start doing what you suggested what I usually do stay back little and now and then go slightly up the ridge, never on to it because I’ve gotten just chewed up on it. For the second play would’ve still do what I would do, however I usually try my hardest to play that map with teammates never solo especially in a little light tankette like the new British light tanks. On your third play my suggestion isn’t much but if the crowd is pushing you into a corner to stay out of it, the other is to hang back a little, a suggestion you first told us about, then play it by the unfolding events. When I see most of team going to just one place I look for what the enemy team is doing then make my move. One the enemy team didn’t deploy their snipers to your rear so you could’ve retreated and redeployed around to their left or right, however you were already there so your options were limited. Nice strategy guide keep them coming mate!!

[@williamkenney7766]

Seems like it has been a while since you did a video. Yours are among the best on the net. I hope you have not given up on making these

[@evilmac9623]

In the second game, I probably would have gone to A1 and used the bunker and bush about the time the EBR ran into you. With a back turreted tank like that one you can make good use of that bunker. They would have to cross that big open area to dig you out and most people would not attempt it. If they go in the center the Batchat would have spotted them. But you won the game so, you made the right call and I am a muppet.

[@taugrim]

That A1 bunker position is VERY strong for countering a 1 lane push. It's a good position for any light or medium. Where I was I was too far away to get there though. I was expecting our Bat Chat 25t to go there but he didn't, but that is understandable as he's an autoloader with a long clip reload, in case they rushed him.

[@raized943]

Greats games and great advice. Loved the hill dismount on Airfield at E4, I'd have ended up on my side.

[@taugrim]

Going down the spine is the only reasonably consistent way I've found for exiting shelf other than the entrance. I've crashed so many times trying other ways down.

[@Avalon304]

So a lot of people get really super down on the low DPM... but, for the most part, in a light tank you shouldnt be getting into knockdown drag out DPM fights. Most lights, even with exceptional DPM arent actually getting the chance to use their full DPM in the majority of their battles. This is the difference between listed DPM and practical DPM. The british lights have low listed DPM, but in practical applications, you arent going to be firing that gun on reload every time its ready to fire. You'll fire the gun, and then pull back into cover, wait 10-ish seconds to drop from spot (or just to avoid blind return fire) and then pull back out and fire again. Most lights will do this same thing. Thats not to say it doesnt completely suck when you do need to get into a knockdown DPM fight, but thats really when you have to start leanring how to choose good targets. Going after tanks that are lower health than you or that you have support near by. The other intangible that the British lights have is their comically small size coupled with their fantastic camo. You displayed this in the airfiled battle... that bush you were using on the shelf, any other light (barring the ELC EVEN) would pull up to that bush to shoot the Super Pershing or VKs and immediately get spotted because they are too wide or tall... the British lights can pull into that bush and sit there laughing because they wont get seen until they fire. Theyre excellant, not only for playing vision games, but for playing vision games in places that most people wont expect. They do have issues (namly they seem to turn like boats) but their low DPMs arent the issue here. And so far of all the trustworthy players that Ive seen play them, they seem to be putting up similar or better numbers in the Brit lights than in any other same tiered lights.

[@jyuppiter4540]

You're really underestimating other scouts camo values. Size is just a hint when it comes to camo in this game.

[@Avalon304]

No... Im really not. Ive looked at them, in game and the Brit lights trend toward the better end of the spectrum of light tank camo from tiers 8-10. (Tier 7 is just weird The only tanks which regularly beat them are the EBRs, which have had the camo values artificially buffed beyond where they should be. But even more important about that, physical size of a vehicle actually affects the locations of the spotting checkpoints on your vehicle. Most light tanks wouldnt be able to pull up into the bush to shoot at the Super Pershing or VK100.01 at the base of the hill, because they are simply too large to actually hide their tank in the bush and get a shot off.

[@taugrim]

Regarding this: > british lights have low listed DPM, but in practical applications, you arent going to be firing that gun on reload every time its ready to fire. You'll fire the gun, and then pull back into cover, wait 10-ish seconds to drop from spot (or just to avoid blind return fire) and then pull back out and fire again. Most lights will do this same thing. That is a fantastic point. The time it takes to drop from being spotted is longer than the reload. Reload really matters when brawling, but most lights including the British lights are simply not built for brawling. In a light tank, I don't get in brawling range unless I'm confident I can defeat the opponent's turret traverse or they aren't looking in my direction. For some tanks, e.g. the tier 10 RU meds, the very fast reload / high DPM coupled with the low profiles and good turret armor make for great brawling. In that case, the theoretical DPM can be realized. But in most cases, especially for lights, theoretical DPM is just that. Regarding this: > You're really underestimating other scouts camo values Avalon304 isn't. Go check the values in the garage. The camo for the LHMTV with BIA and Camo is ~39, which is exceptional. Most of the other lights are meaningfully below that.

[@ericoldgren2489]

@@taugrim There are still the french light tanks though (both lines), which I imagine have similar or, in case of the ebrs, higher camo values, while also not having their firepower crippled. I do think you are right about the brit lights being better than they seem on paper, but to me it still feels like at least the french outclass them in almost every way. Which is unsurprising as the french have, imo, consistently the best light tanks throughout the tiers.

[@taugrim]

The French lights are difficult to play correctly, due to a combination of: 1. low DPM 2. poor gun depression 3. poor gun elevation 4. mediocre-at-best gun handling I agree in the hands of a good player they're very good, but in the hands of a less-skilled/experienced player, they typically don't contribute much. The British lights have great gun depression and better gun handling, relative to the Frenchies. The Brits just need a DPM boost (~15-20% for tier 7, ~20% for tier 8).

i know i am about 3 years too late to catch you uploading videos, but holy hell all of this is really informative for a new player... granted i should not play light tanks as a new player but their versatility is what attracts me. one main thing that i am not doing... knocking down trees, i knew they could provide some cover, i didn't know it was that great of an advantage though, but i am so concerned of the enemies seeing that i knocked it down that they would just fire at me blindly, also i learned that camping in default positions is not the greatest of strategy so i will start moving around the map more and hopefully be more successfull instead of relying on my team

[@silvertorpedo4588]

i do those 180 handbrake turns aswell really consistently but i think its better to turn around once in the bush because sometimes the bush isn't big enough and gets you spotted when you show a spotpoint on your tank

[@taugrim]

I try to avoid small bushes, or I'll use a small bush only if I can reasonably determine where the enemy is so I can put my tank in a line behind the bush so I can't be spotted.

It would be great if the tanks were configured/buffed/nerfed for the majority of players rather than (possibly) the minority. I'm guessing War gaming glean the largest wedge of income from the hoi polloi. But it is good that the top tier players enjoy their gaming, possibly at the expense of the masses.

Taugrim I think you do well cos this tank has high silver pen and a good gun depression and tiny turret.. I notice u played on ur own on both these 1st two games and I think for solo flanking the british lights are excellent.. as long as the game isn't short you can do well.. I have found I can do at least 2.5k dmg consistently in pile driven losses in the Manticore.. the majority at the end.. the trick is to be alive of course.

And in doing so lets their heavies push past chock points uncontested because of it and push in and give them 75% of the map which is bad.

Hi, you probably wont even see this but I want to ask if you can make map specific guides... so for example, you would do light tanks ( different types ) on a particular map the spots you would go to, why would you go, the alternatives, what would be the plan going into mid game rotating to defend/flank or continue to push etc. I find it very hard to find specific guides on a map, which I look for more than specific tank guides.

[@daris98]

Would do the same in Minsk but in Airfield I would usually run after noticing I'm playing with clueless players. I find it more often than not that after enemy heavy tanks clear a flank, a medium tank or a strong light will rush you immediately. I think you got somewhat lucky that no MT decided to rush you there. Just my 2 cents.

The only medium who was left was the Prog 46. He could have pushed me. I would have in his shoes. If he had I'd have had to bail off the shelf.

[@daris98]

@@taugrim I were the opposing progetto I would stay in the opposing bush that you stayed. Then when when the heavies cleared the flank, I would have cleaned you up. Most of the time you won't have the time to bail off, so I would fall back as safety precaution. But hindsight is 20-20 I guess. No doubt in this game you did much better by not running.

[@bergsteiger09]

No vids for a while. Did the UK lights break you ;)

[@natonacl4187]

The tank reminds me of the French tier 6 light AMX 12t cause of the poor gun elevation and fairly long aim time

He isn’t coming back. Road to unicum was HIS road to unicum and when he reached unicum he stopped. :(

Although I lack finesse I am going to try FV304 from that ridiculous position ^_^

Always the best. Keep it up.

[@troy37411]

Hey Taugrim any future plans to release any new videos not WOT focused?

[@petrameyer1121]

QB has the impression that in sniper mode the point of view is below the barrel, contrary to other tanks. So maybe he saw the top of your turret instead.

[@taugrim]

Do you mean the bug where in sniper mode in some tanks, you can't target an enemy, but if you exit sniper mode, you can? Or are you talking about something else?

[@petrameyer1121]

@@taugrim I am talking about Quickybaby's impression that the sniper point of view of this tank is not calculated/displayed from the position of the barrel base but from a point below it. Due to that, you have to expose more of your tank in sniper view, without realizing it. It is mention here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ2mfZJnoZWCpKM I was wondering if you have the same impression.

Hey Taugrim, Can you review the T54E1 please and advise top gun or first gun as well as best tactics cheers

That line would a nightmare to play for Taugrim, since that line is very dependent on gold ammo. About time to buff the pens on them

What is 'jason' bushes? Am i uderstanding this correctly?

[@sciencethygod]

adjacent bushes

[@taugrim]

Thanks Leponi. Field of view + hard cover (rocks/buildings) + adjacent soft cover (bushes, etc) is the magical trifecta. Those are positions where you really work enemies over.

[@ionutg.3776]

@@taugrim yes, thanks! i didn't understand that "adjacent" word that you were saying. English is not my first language. Good videos! Keep them coming!

Sorry if this sounds like mocking you, but 'jason bushes' is one of the funniest unintentional jokes I had in a while. Thanks for the laugh, sorry again. Don't mind about your language knowledge though, you are brave to actually ask about it and it's a very good step to learn about new things.

Can you make a guide for skills,equipments?Btw is there any specific reason for putting medkit before repair kit?

[@jyuppiter4540]

You mean putting the repair on 5? I do it cuz that's where the tracks are, just double tap and you're good to go. But that also means I sometimes fix the tracks by mistake when I wanted to fix my ammo rack or something

I may make a video on skills and equipment, but the issue is there are exceptions with every tank line and it takes a while to explain clearly. Jyuppiter was spot on for repair on 5.

Best explanations on KZbin. I know 8-9 streamers and nobody explains better than you. Keep it up, you are doing a great job. If you have patience, you will gain more public. Lemmingrush was close, but he has too few words in his vocabulary and way too many verbal tics which are annoying.

[@YaddleGaming]

Could you do another video on Russian t10 meds (t62a/140) as the first t62a vid is 4 years old

[@djll9924]

What I dislike about playing lights is you have those games where you light up their entire team and your TDs and arty are asleep at the wheel not engaging targets.

[@taugrim]

It happens, but conversely you have those games where vision enables one side to pick apart the other.

[@juanzulu2755]

I can relate. My advice: change ur perspective. Dont assume the TD players will move up to join ur field of view. Instead, fall back and scout THEIR field of view. I know, this might not be the optimal area, but scouting the optimal area without fire support is even less optimal.

[@taugrim]

I agree with Juan. A lot of times if your team isn't supporting or in a position to shoot what you've got lit, falling back to the next good spotting location is the right thing to do, and let the other team push into your vision and your team's fields of fire.

Want to laugh? WG lead designers officially stated just recently on the gamescom that the brit lights are balanced, even considered OP somewhat. WG argues: They are not rejected, rather played by many! They are the best passive scouter in da game! LOL

No one takes anything WG says in terms of balance seriously. Look at the 268v4 and the 430u as examples.
