Understanding Spotting & Vision Mechanics | World of Warships Legends Console

[@Richard-ov6vt]

Love and appreciate all your videos. Even when I’m already aware of the video topic, like vision or importance of knowing when you’re spotted, after watching I come away with a deeper understanding 👍🏻👍🏻

[@CypressWalker]

I knew there had to be more to this game than rush in and start shooting. You've increased my understanding of the game and I actually make some kills AND survive longer, thanks to you, Sir.

[@TbullGaming]

Good to hear!

[@katelynthomas8690]

I just started playing this game about 2 weeks ago...holy shit I had no idea how much I DIDNT know until I started watching your vids. Thanks for all the help!

[@TbullGaming]

Glad to hear! Yeah, there are a lot of little nuances that aren't readily apparent, but taking the time to learn them will give you quite an edge over many players

[@tpo6142]

Thanks for posting this! I was going to ask you about the map screen. You already have it covered. Thanks again! Totally new to WoW...58 year old gamer, and my catlike reflexes have dwindled over the years. Still practicing against AI...

[@RD1R]

The great thing about it is you don't need catlike reflexes to be pretty good. Understanding the core concepts matters much more

[@RugbyLock2668]

Excellent vid Tbull!! Keep em coming as my gameplay has improved the more I watch!

[@Ramit-xk7wo]

Great videos Tbull. Full of info and answers to questions that I need answered! Thx for taking the time to create these videos. God bless you and have a good day!

[@Ramit-xk7wo]

Good morning Tbull. The Commander would be on the 'bridge' during battle. The 'brig' is actually the onboard jail, if the Commander is there, the crew has much bigger issues onboard than being spotted at sea! 😉

[@TbullGaming]

Haha, nice!

[@donlaight5943]

Haha I (3 months) always thought the cone was your field of fire! Still learning big T, thanks to your great video classes. Yeah 60 yrs, semi retired in Spain. Keep it up buddy

[@markmorris7123]

Great video. I had know idea about the little circles and spotting. No wonder I was a duck in a barrel

[@carlitoslade]

Great and helpful clip. Found myself playing a lot more using the circles.

[@TbullGaming]

Excellent, keeping an eye on the vision aspect of the game will definitely help you as you get better at it!

[@LastNorseman1962]

Great explanation, thanks!

[@twisted-tenn1992]

Awesome Content Again. I have wandered about a bunch of these talking points. Do torpedo shots cause you to be spotted. I have also noticed that Sometimes when I’m shooting at or scoping they disappear completely for 3 to 4 seconds and come back. Keep up the Great Work. I have been keeping my eye out for you in Lobbies Tbull.

[@TbullGaming]

Torps do not cause you to be spotted, so you can launch them up to your detectable range circle before they see you. If ships are briefly disappearing they are breaking the line of sight and then someone is re-establishing the line of sight with them. It is different than WoT, in that with tanks once you're lit you are lit even if you hide until some time passes. Here you can be detected for brief periods of time.

[@DUTCHVIC1]

Thank you Sir for you're time and effort. You have Helped my game play immensely....!!!!

[@TbullGaming]

Good to hear!

[@موسى_7]

Now I understand how to survive as destroyer. I still think I will play larger ships.

[@Pizza4eversf]

Very very interesting ! Thanks. Now I'll learn to be a ghost :-) ciaooo

[@RD1R]

Aaaand I'm getting close to 65% DD winrate thanks to you... From 45%ish.

[@Pizza4eversf]

If I'm spotted by one or more enemies and I go take cover cutting light of sight with all of them, am I disappearing immediately from their maps ? Thanks

[@TbullGaming]

Yes, assuming no more ships have a line of sight on you

[@Pizza4eversf]

@@TbullGaming now...if one single enemy spots me, am I on the radar map of all the enemies ?

[@Pizza4eversf]

got it got it...I'm reviewing video for second time slowly and taking notes. Am no genius. But can make it.. :-) and with such a great admiral teaching...we're lucky to see these videos, thanks !

[@eituyn]

At 11:20ish did you say bridge or brig. I heard brig, I'm not knit picking you, It just made me chuckle. Also, for a while I thought smoke did not hide you from planes, but recently I believe it does?

[@TbullGaming]

Brig, hrow em in the slammer! I believe smoke helps obscure ships from planes but it is not 100% cover from them.

[@struspedziwiatr816]

Another excellent video! What nation has the best battleships in the game? British?

[@TbullGaming]

They are all good in their own regard - the Americans are slow, heavily armored, heavy hitters throughout the line. The Japanese BBs start off very nimble and more lightly armored but slow down and add more armor as the line goes on, and the British do the opposite, start off heavily armored and end up the more mobile of the 3.

[@Pizza4eversf]

Could we say that a perfect destroyer captain is the one that never get spotted ? While he sinks ships...

[@TbullGaming]

Never is a long time 😉 Nice goal to strive for though

[@noclass69]

What dose it mean when your viewing a ship with your target scope and it disappears without using smoke

[@TbullGaming]

The ship that was within it's blue detection ring is no longer is in the ring, either from the ships moving away from each other, line of sight being cut due to an island coming between them, or the blue detection ring contracting after the ship not firing it's main guns for at least 20 seconds

[@TheTimmir]

How do you move assets around to other ships.. I have different ships that I would like to sell in order to buy a higher tier ship, it seems in legend the money goes no where, any ideas

[@TheTimmir]

Or just credits to transfer from 1 ship to another ship

[@TbullGaming]

The only things that stay with an individual ship are the mods that you put on. Any credits you earn go to your account in general. My advice, however, is to not sell any tech tree ships tier 3 or higher. You will lose credits at higher tiers until you get more experience with the game, and you can get into a situation where you don't have enough credits to play the high tier ship, and with no lower tier ships left, no good way to make credits

[@craigklein5563]

Part of the reason people are so turned off about this game is because of overcomplicating things like spotting. There is no need to over-complicate s*** like this but the developers do it anyways for some stupid reason! Every video I watch about spotting sounds like people are talking in circles. This one so far has made the most sense but still confusing.

[@DamitFeelsGoodtobeaRaider]

what exactly does spotted mean? (the eyeball icon) you never went into that in this vid.

[@TbullGaming]

Being spotted means that your ship is visible on the enemy players main screens and maps. If you aren't spotted then they cannot tell where you are

[@Pizza4eversf]

??? at 14:30 Furutaka disappears for some seconds... why ? I don't see anything near or between you and him ? mmmmm...

[@TbullGaming]

I was deploying smoke, which you can't really see on the screen when you are in it. I think the destroyer moving to the right then moved out of the cloud and then it became detected again once those two ships could see each other

[@Pizza4eversf]

@@TbullGaming I'm sorry I don't understand...

[@TbullGaming]

@@Pizza4eversf the smoke charge I used blocked the line of sight temporarily

[@Pizza4eversf]

@@TbullGaming oh! So your own smoke can do this...and it happens if you move and go behind the smoke or when ? And that's the last question for this I guess :-) thanks

[@TbullGaming]

@@Pizza4eversf yeah all smoke works the same, regardless of who drops it. It blocks line of sight like an island. If you are behind it planes can still see you, but if you're in it they cant

[@Less1leg2]

pisses me off, within seconds of the game starting, BINGO, spotted when in a Battleship. Please, give same time to get positioning going before spotting potentials. Also Battleship shot spread is atrocious. Once you zero in your target and barrels, the shot spread is so inaccurate.

[@TbullGaming]

Yeah it can be a large spread at long distances. I usually take the aim mod to reduce the spread, and double tap to keep the grouping tight

[@Less1leg2]

how come NO German fleet of ships. Germany had a huge fleet of WW1 to WW2 ships.

[@TbullGaming]

They are the next nation to be introduced I believe. I would guess 2-3 months after they make sure the line is balanced

[@Less1leg2]

France had a huge fleet, and so did Italy.... Don't know much about Russia's WW1 and WW2 Fleet.

[@TbullGaming]

Those two nations will be coming too - I think there is 11 tech trees on the PC version so far. I'm guessing every 2-3 months we will get a new one.

[@twisted-tenn1992]

I’m actually getting real sick of destroyers disappearing

[@dirtywhowho]

I have learned alot from you videos and it has improved my game play for sure. The one thing about spotting that grinds my gears is the spotting planes. In the stats it show my detection range by air but I get spotted sometimes from my spotted by sea range. In my destroyer I have a 5.8Km by sea range and by air its 2.8Km but for some reason the planes will spot me at the 5.8Km range. Does not always happen and I wonder if its a bug or something. Well in that same Destroyer my torpedo range was 6Km when I unlocked the ship and detection was 6.6Km. Absolutely hated it because its pointless to be spotted from further range than I can fire my torpedoes and the ship has nothing for guns to make up for it. I swapped to cruiser for a bit to take a break from the useless destroyer. However when I went back to the destroyer hours later the torpedoe range was 11.5Km and the concealment rating went up massively. I know it's not full release but what in the world is going on here. Edit: Also its annoying to kill a ship when his spotting plane is out because it wont go away and you cant destroy it.

[@TbullGaming]

I haven't noticed anything about the planes, I'll have to keep my eyes open for it. As for the stats changing, I would guess it was either due to the ship being upgraded or the commander being upgraded/different perks being selected, but if that wasn't the case then it must be some sort of bug.

[@dirtywhowho]

@@TbullGaming I think with the sudden change in torpedo range was a bug. I upgraded it which would give me the extra torpedo range. However numerous games after the upgrade there was no change. I DC from the game and had to log back in then after that the range increased likes it was supposed to. Still not sure about the plane it did it again earlier, 4.8Km and it spotted me. Kept a eye on it as it circled to double check I was not mistaken and it just sometimes spots me out of range
