WOT Gun Dispersion Test Workshop - Gun Precision Myth Busting in World of Tanks

[@iFacePalm]

What do you guys think of the "World of Tanks Gun Dispersion Mechanics"? :D - Also which WOT myths or questions have you been wondering about or maybe even found out? :D

[@paraglidingdave]

Thanks Peter, really good point about the extra 2 seconds, I will be trying this out in future.

[@iFacePalm]

glad you liked it ;)

I thought aiming seemed a bit better when aiming for an extra long time but it wasn't something I tested.

[@androl2366]

PZ S35. It is quite accurate when staying in one place but during movement it seems to shoot rather on the edges of the circle. EU: BoxBuni

[@spyritwind2540]

My takeaway from this test is that dispersion is still a big deal most of the time, but not always. Insanely long aim times due to giant bloom has an impact on how often you will get a shot off at someone fully aimed. Unless you spot someone bush camping that hasn't spotted you this doesn't happen too often and most targets are moving around quite a bit so when you have terrible dispersion (large bloom) you will end up shooting a fair amount of the time not fully aimed just to have the chance that it will hit. You also point out that moving the gun just a little bit shortly before firing has a big impact on accuracy which happens quite a bit if someone is moving back and forth so ... I think dispersion is still a pretty big deal most of the time. This test does show though that if you have all the time in the world to aim at a stationary target then dispersion doesn't mean much. Great info and thanks for sharing the test results :)

one of the best wot videos I sow! Good content bro!

[@iFacePalm]

Thx you!! - Very glad you liked it!

[@dogrudiyosun]

you didnt take into account that an spg's aim circle is looking to the top of e100 which creates a larger target. meaning you cant compare spg with regular tanks.

[@iFacePalm]

hehe yeah!! Definately cant be directly compared for multiple reasons :D - I hope though that it still prooved a point or was at least fun to watch ;)

[@user-ls5zy2lb3i]

Brilliant work! Thank you and Ash for your effort, must have been tedious to collect all the data.

[@iFacePalm]

Thank you! :D - regarding the amount of time = definately!! - Imagine that the recording and testing took at best 5% of the total time as the editing afterwards took the remaining 95% ;)

[@khaledalhamdan2627]

Great video, keep it!! I love the quality as well.

[@iFacePalm]

Thank you!, I appreciate it :D

[@TheSmilingLamp]

Leopard PT A is definitely one of those tanks that I feel is really reliable when fully aimed. Shooting on the move however...yikes.

[@pace6249]

At 7 minutes, I agree theres so many times where i click and then instantly move where i get horrible rng in my leopard 1. But how can you fix it without adding long registration time?

[@gamerbob1359]

Great video! B-C 12t over 400m fully aimed is like a local drunk trying to drown a cigarette in a urinal. Jaywalk EU

[@cezarystaszewski4490]

In addition to Your question I can say that the tank which has good aim when fully aimed is Strv S1, but when I am in the move, its pointless to try to shot. it happens to hit, but it depends on luck only. EU: TheDolarMan

[@tolak68]

awesome video and tests Peter and really interesting results. If anything to improve it I would like to see the same tests done on a moving target as opposed to a staionary one to see if the same accuracy stacks up.

[@iFacePalm]

Thank you for the feedback! :D // actually funny you mention it as there are some footage that i did not bring into the video due to the results were similar of the 0.25 dispersion while moving test. - The test were performed where the tank drive to and past my aim circle and i fire towards a rock just behind it a second later, No difference was detected ;)

[@THODORISKK]

so much research but no one got to see it

[@nemanjaradevic8391]

Nice work :) In the new VK 28.01 mit 10,5 cm which we received as Well Deserved Revard. The well-placed aimed shot makes the difference between life and death in 1on1 LT encounters. EU: EngineerNS

[@High5urass]

I wonder if you would get the same results if the reciving tank was a russian one :)

[@iFacePalm]

LoL, good one! :)

[@jasperbosman3485]

I remember that at some point the shells were changed to hit towards the centre of your reticule more, even for inaccurate tanks. I think this is good for gameplay, because accuracy rng can be really annoying.

[@iFacePalm]

interesting!

[@connaughtranger7641]

Great video. Do you think the developers are trying to make the difference between various tanks or maybe the equipment choices on tanks look more important or meaningful than they actually are in reality?

[@user-ls5zy2lb3i]

I feel disappointed to learn about the ghost/invisible shells (had no clue). This should be fixed (wishful thinking 😁)

[@iFacePalm]

Yeah!! Its kinda ironic that the general player expectations of this games mechanics is at a much higher level than it actually is.. the deeper you look into the data the more shocking it seems to get on how basic it really is :D - i have several examples of other broken ingame mechanics for a few extra videos in the future - IF the general interest is there as this is extremely time consuming ;)

[@Jonbenjon]

Well done, I can't imagine how much time this must have taken to do. I like the Chinese TD, WZ-111-1G FT. Seems to do better than the dispersion would suggest EU: Jonbenjon

[@iFacePalm]

Thx you glad you like it ;) Yeah, I had to distribute the editing over a couple of months to not go insain :D

[@SWJohnny4all]

Play russian tanks and ignore gun precision stats, that is the way. I remember playing obj 430 tier 9 , really had no issue with the 0.4 base dispersion, easy snaps, easy long range shots. EU : JohnnyKLu

Interesting video. Thanks for your work ! and KV2 is so innacurate !! EU: RiValZ

Even if it may sound mad, but I can really feal it in my 122TM (chinese Tier VIII-Medium), and it hurts. Especially because of the low rate of fire. EU: BrynngharGER

[@happy_456]

very interesting video peter. My Srv 103b hits perfect when i am but never on the move sadly. EU: Happy_Henrik_1

Mostly noticed this with Soviet tanks, especially IS-3. EU: Almach99

[@Tanker-A]

my death Star when i fully aim i hit something almost always the gun on the Fv215b (183) is way better from Fv4005 RNG wise ... .. pls: almost every battle i never hit a lucky RNG with it Tbh .even if i fully aim (pixel shots and stuff like that) ingame name: brunodoroszew eu server

I noticed it with the turtle I tbh :P EU: betsko

Become better at WOT : uninstall the game, you win! Because all WG are doing is frustrating you. Their pleasure comes from your complaining, because you'll end up buying premium in the hope it will get better. It won't. If you get an OP tank to stat pad, you get more often into battles where you are bottom tier. And so many other dirty practices ... I quit when they nerfed the ELC, and sometimes I watch videos to see if that dumpster fire is still burning.
