Who Is This Player?

[@hockeypan8066]

Richard is a real person with 100 battles under their belt. They know they suck. They keep exploding. So he picked a fellow TD to shadow (too closely) and learn by observation.

[@john-anderspettersson5919]

Very cute❤

[@thisguy8373]

100 battles.. with a health bar for a tank😂.....meanwhile, im over 2000 battles in realistic on WT....not arcade.

[@johnsamson9889]

Bots won't stick to you and interfere with movements. You're right about binos and camo net I used them when starting through tech trees. You get some spotting assist too. Thanks Claus.

[@toddtaylor6506]

Was going to say. WG bots suck, but they're at least coded to not do things like block your movements or try to use you as a shield.

[@SmyrnaApostolicMission]

I am recently returned noob player and your explanation about binocs in 2nd battle help me to realize I have had noob mentality. I have been not bothering to buy equipment for my lower tiers (until about tier 6) unless they are premium tanks, because I don't bother keeping them. Except maybe some tier 5s that I really like. My (incorrect ) thinking being that I am not in the tank that long, no need to waste the cost. Thank you for correcting me. Subbed.

[@jack-xf6il]

Fit the equipment, then when you move up to the next tier tank you demount it and put it on the next tank. Same with the crews.

[@anthonyhowrard526]

dont forget to use the compare in the garage. it is good to see what different equipment can do.

[@kauai1945]

Richard was using the StuG in the end for his armor.

[@Tommy1198S]

or meatshield

[@ashleybarnett3390]

recommend the stug for new players...v good german TD,nice gun, good speed,can bounce shots if hull down.one of my favourite tanks.

[@SmyrnaApostolicMission]

I really like the Semovente M41. For some reason I did really well in that one.

[@videomediamtl997]

Seal club fun with Hetzer with derp gun, gun laying drive, binocs, camo net, a couple gold rounds

[@SmyrnaApostolicMission]

@@videomediamtl997 I remember back over a decade ago when I first played, hated fighting against that tank lol

[@chris.moonmantis9459]

been a really good start to this year thanks Claus

[@Oxy_Cotton]

I live in Kalgoorle, Western Australia it has been 42C degree's for the last 3 days and 2 of those days we had no power because of a storm that happened 500km away. Lightening struck a 220kVA line 500kms away.

[@DAAF-DesignArchitectureArtFood]

First of all a happy new year to you Claus. M10 RFBM is a great premium french td. You mean wolferine, which looks kinda similar. Greets from Germany! Great channel, great content, great Claus.

[@Palalune]

Still think Bob is just Claus doing voices. Prove me wrong.

[@supertjibbe]

i actualy think we already watching BOB for years pretending he is claus ...just an idea..let that sink in lol

[@Palalune]

@@supertjibbe 🤣 ;-)

[@HeinzGuderian_]

You probably think Pierre is too.

[@mikedeaton6416]

Surely Claus doesn't have a baby in a bag????

[@springfield4522]

You are 180 degrees off. Bob is the real person. Claus is a hand puppet used to hide Bobs face.

[@jbird6054]

Great video. Thank you !

[@linusgallitzin]

It's funny when a team is winning and pushing on a particular side and the tank in front of the column suddenly explodes on their team, the whole column will stop and be afraid to push any further. This match showed this multiple times. :)

[@michaeltalay3556]

Richard was shadowing the TD ... err... behind him and/or beside ... in hopes of the TD taking the hits/damage. It's called "Be my shield, as I go for Hit Points"

[@jeffvaness8333]

Awesome Claus keep on keeping on love it

[@robdgaming]

The M10 RBFM represents a US-made M10 Wolverine transferred to French forces. It's a French tank in game. The RBFM designation may indicate modifications applied by the French.

[@skytojan7007]

the m10 RBFM is a french tank🤣

[@P_E_P_1966]

A naked Stuugg without any camo ?? Nein nein nein

[@FinnoDaffy_1]

M10 RBFM perfect equipment is gun rammer, camo net & telescope. That tank must be stationery to be a OP TD

[@rodricksargent2984]

One last point the trick to doing well in this"free to play game"is map position!knowing where to go based on enemy composition and how they deploy

[@01GeoMetriC33]

I think Valentine was shooting a ghost in the castle up the mountain XD

[@scottbennett6200]

GREAT game!! Showed some skill!!!

[@kermitaner]

STUG ist the abbreviation for "Sturm Geschuetz" - storm / attack gun

[@jamesmaslanka9557]

Hate the Stug because any hit from Arty penetrated your weak armor on top.

[@LimerickWarrior1]

Majority of players are worse than any bots

[@johncodmore]

Ahem bro'. Had an idiot trolling me because I got to 'his' favorite bush last night. I was a TD buffed for spotting, he's a dopey med. go figure.

[@thenomad2046]

I've only ever gotten one Kolobanov medal. Definitely a game to remember for me. Well played by the Stug and the M10.

[@DIREWOLFx75]

Was seconds away from getting a Kolobanov with the tier 6 French artillery... But my last teammate(KV-85) got killed just AFTER i killed the 5th remaining enemy, a light tank, at 60m range. Then played a bit of circus merry go around with the T6 Sherman E8 in sniper nest west on desert river map. Oneshot him from the side as he was trying to go up into the nest while i drove around it. Then went and duelled the 3 enemy arties that were the remainding enemies. First a meeting in the middle of the southern dunes with enemy T6 Fr arty, then an M44 and a Su-8 back at their base. And it's SOOOO annoying that there isn't anything for ALMOST getting that Kolobanov!!!

[@Lupi33z]

with M10, the DPM is so devastating I just played it like a medium tank and dominated on the battlefield. Seal clubbing specialist tank.

[@zenvicegrizdorr8581]

Should be called, "GOLD spamming M10 Coward"

[@oswaldjh]

If I play SPG I use the French arti because of their speed to reposition. Staying in your spawn is an invitation to light tanks to come and spank you. There's a better chance your team will save you if you are following behind them as it means XP for them.

[@ambientlight3876]

I think most of my lower tier tanks have some form of optics. I've never regretted it. In fact I've often gotten spotting assist on my sniper TDs.

[@ggginforlab]

Fun in Tier IV... But my teammates in Tier VIII-X are the same 😁

[@danam0228]

Need to get Claus to 100k subs!!!

[@timmcgreal8024]

I prefer lower tier games when I get frustrated in the higher tiers! GG Claus!

[@kunobiker71]

[@BoschizBasus]

that was a funny one , the whole part with the valentine

[@brucegoodwin634]

Hilarious thumbnail. LOL!

[@KOS762]

Richard is a new player, who survived and helped his team win. Using a track pad... Track, Track, Track.. .lol

[@larryselkirk426]

Apparently the French M10 didn't need binocs.

[@geeussery8849]

"not you" lmao Claus!

[@glok1989]

after a lot of frustration and confusion trying to learn WT for a few weeks, I have finally put WoT aside. 13 years of playing this hot mess and looking back on it there's no wonder why it's fully of bots and muppets.

[@thisguy8373]

WT is more about knowing your tanks. And who you're playing against, sounds, and movements help, so I would recommend. A good headset ...I got over 2k hours myself.. Once u get the hang of it, then u can start hating cas😂

[@lewiswestfall2687]

Thanks Claus

[@verliebt3465]

the valentine was using the stug as armor

[@joseluisnd75]

Hey Claus, maybe you should show Bob that first match, the stug really carried til the end hahaha.

[@chris-jq1se]

Maybe my MM is different (ftp), but this isn’t just low tier gameplay. This is all tiers gameplay for my teams.

[@kingoftadpoles]

I always fit binos to my TDs.

[@Naidzelou]

Will you stream? :)

[@SmyrnaApostolicMission]

I don't know why or when it actually started, but I can't help but call the M3 Stuart the "Martha Stuart"

[@yexacom]

Low tier battles are interesting

[@mineplow1000]

While I knew they were there, I generally kind of shied off from "bloop," guns on tanks for the longest. Not anymore, though. Got a VK2801 105 that is my go-to speedy glass cannon gigglebox, and I think I've finally "got it," when it comes to having fun in certain Tiers in this game.

[@rodricksargent2984]

Clause you laugh and make sport of low tier player's and yet you had to crawl before you could walk it's all a learning curve we all go through the same evolution so please show some humility,I love you're vids been subbed.for two years or more great content I've learned a lot from you I'm the average smo doing the best I can against wot ✌

[@Andy.Gledhill.Models.]

That M10 player just got lucky. The fact that he was OK firing normal AP ammo at the end, proved that he did not need to spam all the gold rounds.

[@Andy.Gledhill.Models.]

@user-dl7qi4mr5s No you don't

[@mickleblade]

I've recently played the new tier 5 Japanese TD, nice little tank, the gun hits what it should, I might even rebuy it. It's just tier 5 sucked at Christmas...

[@larryselkirk426]

Second game was good sniper play Claus.

[@stevebarnett5048]

It amazes me that they know how to communicate with their team about things like ‘spot for me’ but they can’t mount the best equipment or have any tactical awareness!

[@vanvan-oc4nj]

Ahh Claus, low Tier game, nice ! And you speak German pretty OK, do you have German relative as well ? (like Italian uncle and French Pierre....) LoL..

[@allensanders5535]

it looked to me like he was losing to the tree

[@AntzWar]

Not enjoying the new year, too cold right now

[@davidlabedz2046]

This was a fun, low tier game!

[@davidmarkham9027]

M10 is a great tank but i believe that with mobile tanks at lower tiers you are better off with optics as the benefit is permanent.

[@Lupi33z]

I equipped with optics. With good crew and equipment this thing is so OP.

[@jbortego]

I wish they would make a competitive bracket for tier 5s, those tanks are fun but you don’t earn anything - battle pass points, moe’s, nothing

[@Gerry-K]

Bob Stays! 😎 When does Bob get a turn playing?

[@Quenstar]

M10 RBFM is a French reward tank.

[@JackDrinkn2DollarJim]

American TD given to the Free French forces for use in retaking France.

[@sjekkie8299]

not sure, most names with _ in it are bots in low tiers

[@r.h.7633]

Thank you

[@zwabbitt]

i think he was using stug as armor since the valientine has no armor smart if he was

[@kevinmckay5052]

you worried about hunters ? what season is it? wabbit season?

[@hicknopunk]

This is a cool Stellaris mod

[@Dennys854]

'Nocs, Net, Rammer.

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

You can see Richard looking round a bit at times. Looks terrible enough to be human to me.

[@woughtanker3240]

why did I never get enemies like that? 🤣

[@chrisr251]

The valentine is a real player, but an a-hole.

[@simonestefani2648]

😂😂😂😂He pratice aiming and shoot tree

[@rodricksargent2984]

Bi-noks cost credits that's what I'm saying fully crewed and equipped your top tier,free to play my ass

[@peterklein8355]

Richard also goes by Dick and knows it. How do you not ace it with that many kills and almost 2000 damage at that tier?

[@ryankl1984]

that thing has a micro gun

[@amazingronaldo9656]

Valentine AT was like Chester the Jack Russell terrier to the Stug's Spike the bulldog. You know, from Looney Tunes cartoons? Hey Spike, how's about we go chase down those tanks? Huh? Huh? Nah! *slap* Yeah that wouldn't be no fun. Are we gonna hide in this bush? Yep! Ok ok we're in this bush and going to be quiet and beat up the tanks! Oh boy we're gonna have fun beating up tanks. Spike, you're the greatest!

[@matthewandrews9052]

WOT is a microcosm of the real world. The vast majority of people are clueless bottom feeders who struggle to get through life every day. Well played in game 2. Where was Pierre?

[@davetuttle8861]

m10 american made, supplied to french

[@clintonturner5545]

Both games were entertaining.

[@russwoodward8251]

Without Bob, editing would be soooo boring, come on. Both games were great today Claus. Thanks!

[@rayr4320]

The stug player was ok, he was forced to make a last stand back at cap because the friendly team did not establish any flank. The m10 player was the usual parasitic cheap shot artist, that more often than not produces a loss for the team. At the end game he was fortunate to be fighting his passive player counter parts, who were buoyed by a deceiving number advantage. This play style places immense pressure on teammates up front that have initiative. Even worse it adds to the cadre of players that adopt this play style and will be of minimal help in close battles. Instead, they will drag the battle back into a losing defensive battle, or worse a draw,

[@__RAIK__]

3:15 😂😂

[@newdoggproductions]

it's "das Stug"

[@ashleybarnett3390]

Richard was being an asshole,using stug as armour.

[@densonsmith2]

A guy teaching his kid?

[@jimcreelman2655]

Bob is not liked by us in Eastern Canada...no not Montreal. Nova Scotia. But i=I watch more WOT than I play now.

[@shawnbeal4553]

Are you guys union so you can't fire Bob.😊

[@771750]

Valentine could be Czech or Slovak. i say it because his last name look like it is.

[@josephna4403]

Is Bob off his Meds? Because i remember Tofu eating Soyboy Bob afraid to do commentary and in a hurry to get to his Yoga class. What happened?

[@victorduffy4459]

I have a strong dislike for the M10, mostly because I don't have one. It fires so fast it's hard to get out of the way.

[@2tone209]
