[@podemosurss8316]

The rank of field Marshal didn't exist in the Soviet Union. You mean "Marshal of the USSR" which was an honorific rank given to the most successfull army commanders/army generals. In 1935 they were 5, in 1938 (after the execution of two which were considered responsible of an attempted coup and a third for incompetence during the battle) and the promotion of other two (Timoshenko and Shaposhnikov) they were 4. In 1945 they were seven since three more army generals had been promoted. However, no advantages over the rank of army general existed.

[@ookiemand]

I've heard a story from a ex German tanker explaining that they won the practice wars with the US in Canada. I asked why, he said because of their tanks and because of their tactics. The US tankers apparently were less patient and attacked right away when they spotted an enemy, whereas the Germans first got into position, targeted all targets, and waited for the best moment to open fire. I asked how much of a difference it yielded, he said, something like 9: 1. I cannot imagine such huge difference, but I love to learn more about modern tank tactics and how they differ from others and the past.

[@thisghy8126]

ookiemand the problem with the American tankers lately is that they are deployed too often and don't get the time it takes to truly master armoured tactics. We've noticed this in Canada when we verse them too

[@podemosurss8316]

Well, a similar difference was seen on the first great-scale tank vs. tank battle ever: the battle of Brody. The Germans destroyed 800 Soviet tanks while losing only 200. The German air superiority, and better coordination was key on a mayor victory in which half of the armored units of the Soviet Southwestern Front were disbanded.

[@hedgehog3180]

Podemos URSS It also helped that they faced nothing but outdated light tanks. Definitely makes it easier when the toughest tank is a BT-7.

I personally saw this happen as a combat engineer attached to an armored company of Abrams while training at Hohenfels. The first scout BMP the tankers saw they apparently went berserk and took off chasing-which led the whole company into a draw with a surrounding ridgeline. Our whole force including our detachment was wiped out in an ambush. My platoon sergeant lectured us in our AAR (after-action report) stating "It's why we call them DATS-dumb ass tankers!."

SAVE all of EUROPE. The germans went one extreem during the 1930's and now they are going to the other extreem. I say this as a German, the germans are much to robotic in their thinking and that is what most europeans also say about them. For example, the spanish say that the germans have a quadratic head "los hermanos tienen una cabeza cuadrada".

Hermann Steinrucks: My tip to germans: you as a people seriously need to stop being so trusting in your government. Even with world war 2 in hindsight, germans are still culturally way too trusting in government and regulations. It had disastrous results for you last time, and it's not looking good now either. The government isn't always right. In fact most governments across the world are highly inefficient and rarely make decisions with the best interests of their people in mind.

It needs to be remembered that WW2 tanks did not have the gun stabilisation systems taken for granted today. This meant that fire on the move was grossly inaccurate except at point blank range. Keeping some tanks static was essential to get accurate fire against a difficult target like an AT gun.

[@karlp8484]

It impresses me that Panzer tactics are almost identical to TODAY's infantry platoon tactics. Fixing the enemy position with a portion of the platoon, while the rest flank it. Fire and movement. Concentration on enfilade fire, where possible. Wedge formation so every tank can fire to the front or sides while keeping the whole formation reasonably tight. Almost every aspect is mirrored in infantry tactics.

[@kael2295]

The biggest difference is that tanks normally should breach / shock an area. Something that infantry can't do or very very rare

[@noidea8710]

Various military all over the world study and implement german blitzkrieg

[@simonh6371]

In the British Army it's called fire and manoeuvre, civvies call it skirmishing; but we didn't always use it in the British Army, which is one reason why the Boers beat us in the first Boer War (which we lost), particularly in the last battle, Majuba, where British troops were actually on top of a hill looking down on a Boer camp, yet the Boers used fire and manoeuvre coming uphill and using dead ground i.e. dips out of sight of the British line of fire, and chased them off the hill; since then we have called the Second Boer War (which we won) ''The'' Boer War because that way it covers up the fact that we had lost the previous one. So it isn't really a new infantry tactic.

[@dennismartin5821]

@@simonh6371 There's this myth going around now, that the allies over exaggerated the strength, and ability of the 3rd Reich. I guess to make victory appear like a bigger deal. This goes against what I've been told, and was wondering if maybe you have an opinion on that?

[@looinrims]

Germany built modern tactics and doctrines in the Second World War, they just didn’t survive to continue them (well kinda)

[@str34mln3r]

You can't use real life tactics in-game, because there is neither fear nor suppression. People will suicide themselves for non-guaranteed kills (which they can often score, because of easy inputs and masterful, perfect crews).

[@darthcalanil5333]

idk. some of those tactics works pretty well in Men of War :P

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

True to a degree but it can still help. Fire and maneuver still works. People still look for cover when being fired at. In Both WT and WoT it will work. A teammate aiming a gun at them will force them to hide. While you just go around and flank. If the enemy turn towards you instead, your team can instead be the one advancing. in WT, you can get one-shot so the risk is very high though you can respawn. in WoT, you can't respawn but you do have HP to maybe survive a hit or two. But taking hits is not ideal regardless of both games And in both games, you are more accurate when you are stationary.

[@Lorian667]

In ArmA it works out really well. In fact so well, that you get slaughtered if you don't.

[@DiggingForFacts]

Not everything specifically, however in a broader sense I've had pretty good luck in WoT if you get natural cooperation and support with a couple of mediums working together intuitively. With four or five tanks working together (provided the players have their ducks in a row) you can collapse an entire flank by direct outflanking and achieving local numerical superiority.

[@purplefood1]

You also don't have the kind of situational issues some of those tanks would have had. A tank never breaks down, crewmen aren't sick, starving or fatigued.

Thank you for another exceptionally interesting video. The tactics you discussed are very similar to what we were taught in the U.S. Cavalry and Armor school.

Sadly, in World of Tanks the optimal tactic is for everyone in a group to aim for the same target, to reduce the enemy DPS as fast as possible. Not representative of real tank combat.

[@nottoday3817]

technically, it is historical. In WoT you have arcade combat, so you do not need to worry to much about gravity pulling your shell down(aka aiming high) aiming on the move, wind, rain etc. This means you might need multiple attempts if you want to hit an enemy tank. So focus fire is logical. Suppressing fire, on the other hand, is different.

[@Jimmy-zu9gb]

There is shell arc in the game, but the program automatically calculates for you based on range. So it's extremely difficult to lob a shell over a hill or obstacle. It *can* be done, but usually it is the large caliber, low velocity "derp" guns that can pull it off more easily, and it is usually done on accident I find. The bigger problem with WoT and their accuracy models are the condensed ranges. You can't see a tank more than ~515m away, and most field engagements are less than 200m and city fights are literally bumper to bumper. This is the less historical aspect. You can't really dig into trajectory when you're shooting point blank, sniping a commander cupola. I can't remember exactly, but iirc the bigger tank battles on the eastern front could typically involve shots up to or more than 2000m. History buffs, correct me if I'm wrong there. Massing effective firepower is a technique that can be used on the real battlefield. During an attack, this would be ideal to cause a break in the enemy line and either suppress them for the flankers, or create a breach to break through. For the defense, you want your firepower evenly distributed so there are no weak points in the line. This is where sectors of fire come into play. Each fighting position gets a piece of the pie, and they are expected to not deviate into another piece.

Love your videos, have seen them all. edit: the animations from 8:20 onward reminded me of my favorite games, close combat (especially 3,4,5 of which my favorite was for 4 due to the automatic platoon distribution within a company.). One great aspect about these was that you could play from both sides, and at least for close combat 3, a revolutionary idea for me at that age was that a lost battle did not equate with a lost game.

You missed the 'eingespielt' at 1:30. If the English translation of the German isn't at least as long you probably miss something of the meaning. I would go for 'By getting used to each other as a team through practice,' :P Excellent videos!!!

Used this in Mowas2 (Robz of course) and I had a single medium panzer platoon hold a side for about 80% of the match until a couple IS-2s showed up. Then I brought more panzers.
