WoT Tips #1 - Become a better scout

[@rockbard9621]

T-50-2.... *grasps at the empty air, a dream that can no longer be obtained floats in the wind like the teasing promise of spring after a long winter*

[@Reece_Stewart]

Got here from Jingles (bohemianeagle) and I'm so glad he mentioned you! Normally I wouldn't watch an amateur video like this, but I'm glad Jingles brought you up :P

[@LEDtherebelight]

Ah, the first wot tutorial video I have ever watched. Good times. "Punched right through their armor" I miss that sound.

[@038alpha]

"that's gotta hurt" is the one i miss the most with "we've lit that one up good"

[@Kresnov]

Having played WOT since early beta I can honestly say this is THE scout guide. This guy is one to avoid when he's opposing and love when he's on your side. If only ALL scouts were as good as you,keep up the good work.

[@Nautilus1972]

I always come back for the music.

[@jetkok4475]

+Nautilus1972 its the jeopardy song btw

[@cammy5221]

I came Back for nostalgia I watched this guy when I was a noob and now coming back when I’m much better it makes me laugh how obvious this stuff was

[@MrVandeminek]

More than three years old now and every word of it is still true. Also the nostalgic feeling when the music starts. Thanks Mr HighFlyer!

[@octane781]

Ah the good old days... I miss t-50-2

[@user-mr4gv2gw4b]

Sniff*The memories*Sniff... Btw did you know that the T-50-2 was a prototype design after the T-50, but was scrapped soon for the t-60..

[@kitcat4650]

If you had it in the past, & are still playing, it is in your garage now, as a 2018 Christmas present from War Gaming. Nerfed, of course, you will not track yourself because of the speed anymore.

[@umartdagnir]

When arty shot exploded near you on 09:02, I said to myself: "Don't panic. Panic leads to mistakes." :) Great lesson.

[@ZeroN4DEs]

9:01 that dodge though!

[@alex-talk]

this is SO well done. one of the best tutorial videos out there for any game

[@3187sam1]

Like if Mingles With Jingles brought you here!

[@korny6075]

yup :D

[@prekinutodnekidan7227]

Sam Lee Nope.

[@nics291]

Sam Lee Nope nope nope no like u dumbass

[@linkloverarrow]

i like how the game music is so suspenseful but then his music plays and everything is so happy :)

[@nexnova3465]

I saw this video before mingles with jingles episode 59 and I also subscribed to your channel before episode 59 like if you knew of him before episode 59 to

[@arachno9916]

First WoT video I ever watched.

[@emmetjd1816]

Will The Ace same

[@AnimatorBlake]

Nex Nova What happened in episode 59?

[@nexnova3465]

He told everyone about this channel.

[@megapet777]

The most legendary wot video

[@Pitbuller49]

Epic tip music lol!

[@carlitosskater89]

Back then, when I watched every and all of your videos @TheRiisingSun, you probably are the one who made me a WOT yonkee. :) I, nowadays, feel like i am as competitive as i ever will be, a lot still remains from this videos! Thx! ;)

[@colbymckay7765]

anyone watching in 2017

[@Solly_Polly]

unfortunatly

[@kitcat4650]

January 1, 2019 here

[@dannygman]

Thank you for this video, I learned a lot! Not just about scouting but also about steppes which I usually hate as a scout because of the flat and open nature of the map

[@denizdeger]

Awww then Nostalgia.. I remember first time I watch this :)) Gooood Ol Times , now wot is a shitshow now

[@Supertoaster1576]

This is probably one of the best examples of scouting ive seen. It doesnt get much better then this.

[@Khalkara]

If only more people would watch this fun and interesting tutorial on how to be an effective scout. The only scouts I've ever seen in WoT (I've played up to tier 6) is suicide scouts. I wish I had someone like this guy on my team for once!

[@willytheekid]

I have watched alot of WOT vids and played alot of games...but your fluid play style and tips are some of the best I have seen! Its so good to see a player that uses there head AND their tanks abilities to benefit the team. Thanks for sharing the tips and keep the vids coming :) Hope to see you on the battlefield oneday

[@Gusburg]

this exact video is a key memory from my childhood. WOT was my first ever game. and that Jeopardy song is probably why I keep remembering this

[@jamessquires7015]

I remember watching this video so long ago, its good to see its still here.

[@paulrebounded3976]

Excellent work!!! a little old but very helpful hints that I use today. I referred a m5 Stewart to this video today as a matter of fact, he sat in the same bush the whole match even though he hadn't spotted anything for about 5 minutes or longer and he thought he was doing it right even though half the team was telling him to scout.

[@ohmandamp]

That was the most impressive bout of tankery I've seen. I'll be sure to apply these tips to my M4, since it's really just a LT with a medium's cannon.

[@lazersgm]

good guide over all. i play a ton of scouts and have them all. you made very few mistakes in that match. only exposing your self to that tiger near the end. but i think this guide will help a lot of our new scout players stay alive longer. well done :)

[@Basil43D]

That might just be the most impressive WoT gameplay I've ever seen

[@Shongi85]

OMG, I was a great fan of your videos before, but having hungarian subtitle is the biggest surprise ever (knowing how non important my country is ;D ), Thank you!

[@eqmaverickpoet]

As the company commander of FIC, i make them all get on teamspeak 3 and then i make them watch all the WoT tips videos FTW. :) Good stuff

[@palfucs]

Great vid. You covered everything well and made it entertaining as well. I find these Russian scouts excel at creating chaos if you use suicidal tactics like driving past the enemy into their territory. It may sound foolish but when a single scout can distract half the enemy it buys your teammates vital time to relocate or take positions. If your stuck with some mates facing off around a corner or something, sometimes a scout wizzing by will give your mates the distraction they need to push out.

[@MrOgaland]

Basically yes, having good information on the battlefield is a key for victory. Enemies will show on minimap AND in 1st person view of any tank that is in radio range. It is important to say that as it means that your teamate will be able to shot target from long range without been detected (if he's far enough) thanks to the scout.

[@alexcuseME]

My best friend sent me here to your videos, so I had a look and you are REALLY a good player and good teacher ! :)

[@diztruction]

You are very very very very helpful i was terrible at world of tanks and after 2 hours of your videos i can not believe the improvement you sir deserve a large thankyou! and i will be sure to recommend you to my friends i hop you will get another 10 or 11 subscribers in the next few hours

[@ferdinandsuul3432]

Ahhhh i just love that funny music. its like you go driving and suddently it say PLING and then da da da... Great video man! :)

[@Undamagedaddyk]

It's a mechanic in the game, basically, if another tank spots you then until either he is dead or out of your view(only applies if you have a better view and radio range)he can see pretty much everything you do.

[@nananana101]

Dziękuję za ten poradnik :) Dzięki Tobie stałem się lepszym zwiadowcą i bohaterem bitew :) Translate: Thank You for this tips :) Because of your tips I'm now better scout and hero of Battles :)

[@Geekman333]

Hey great video. That chat being critical of the artilley...WoT just wouldn't be WoT without the haters sadly. Thanks for the vid...I learned a lot. Peace.

[@derin111]

I've just started playing this and I'm terrible at it! I've learnt lots from watching this. Thank you for posting!

[@goshky]

one trick you may find helpful when playing scout is using autoaim. Look at 8:18 - HighFlyer is firing into the back of JgPzIV - with 112 penetration he would easily penetrate every shot with autoaim what woul allow him to take a quick look for his surroundings. This time noticing next TD few secs later (8:28) was not a problem, but when playing scouts, knowing your surroundings is everything.

[@TheKukatahansa]

Thanks, this was a very good video, that taught me a lot, i used to go straight at arty, but now i really can play as a scout

[@dgareea31swtg]

Thanks! I love scouting, both passive and aggressive tactics. I'm going to get on the forum and ask SPG/arty players, what THEY would do if they could be their won scouts. I always wonder: How long do I need to light a tank up for them? Which order should I target tanks, based on their size, or their proximity to our lines? How many times should I ping a tank, before it's called "spamming the chat box?" And many more. Scouting is fun (the tanks are FAST) and has good earning potential.

[@daconias]

Amazing video! After all this time it still gives great universal tips. I miss this nimble devil. :/

[@papaalpha2110]

Fantastic series of videos, really helpful for a newbie scout - cheers for posting them :)

[@anthws]

What a wonderful video. Useful intel with humor and excellent pacing. Thank you!

[@TheThompsonPlays]

Very nice video. Never really learned the basics of zoom and boom scouting (or your preferred term for it), and this video has certainly helped my knowledge of it.

[@fliptinkerz]

This video taught me well and the music made me smile. Great guide :)

[@davegbp]

we can always learn something new from each video...thanks for taking the time to put this out there for us to learn from...

[@Nautilus1972]

The best vids on YT if for no other reason than the music ....

[@messerJ4H]

@TheRiisingSun At the moment, I would give such advice: - It's important to know, when to push and when to defend. - Attack (positions which are on 3/4 of the lenght of the flank) - Defend (positions on 1/4 of the flank, near the base). - Defending doesn't mean camping. - Determine which flank is pushing and which one needs to defend.

[@tonybalciunas890]

Thank you for taking the time to make that video. I learned a lot.

[@Drefsab]

Wow. You are the best Scout I've ever seen.

[@domlee4968]

This is really helpful, thanks theriisingsun! Keep making these types of vids. Btw, loving the music :D

[@FengshenNL]

That, and Sixth Sense is really useful, as you can tell if they spotted you as well. Saves you some looking at turrets and guessing if they did or didn't see you ;)

[@GensokyoMillenium]

Nice video. Really helped me. I had a T-50 earlier but sold it as I didn't get any victories in it because I didn't know how to scout effectively. Consider having another subscriber. Hope to see you on the field if you play on the EU server!

[@NewYears1978]

This is my favorite WoT video.

[@lliilliitthh]

tnx for this! subtitling is excellent in Croatian, doing excellent tutorials all the accolades just keep up!

[@MrPuddinJones]

not going to lie- the jeopardy music really made me enjoy this video :)

[@nescuu]

@TheRiisingSun How did you make the tracs left behind visible? I enabled in game settings and nothing!

[@ocvinas]

Great video! It has some great tips for someone thats somewhat new to the game like me!

[@DizzyBench]

You are Damn Awesome. That Music Is my Jam! Lol. Your tips are just as great! I hope you will continue with these tip episodes, They are Just GREAT!

[@MrRoblcopter]

I like the way this was done. To the author: Nice video! Really helpful!

[@patrickoppelt9719]

Thanks for the scout guide. Having trouble with the chat angle,can't call stuff out. Know I am not doing it right. any suggestions?

[@crocblanc1989]

i love this guy and his genius editing :D

[@costabunny]

thanks for the vid (love the music ;)) - I am surviving much longer in my T-50-2 now and feeling useful to my side - I love scouting x

[@jimmywesley2844]

I really just started playing the game. I can admit I not good but with this video it might just make me a better player. Thanks

[@BlitzNinjaz]

This long and now 1000 comments, I love this series, they may have taken out the T-50-2 but thankfully the 58-16 has similar stats and a similar gun! Thanks this helped me a lot!

[@QuantumRift]

Great vid - have to book mark it and watch it over and over to learn but it's worthwhile. Thanks.

[@Skott62]

The Jepordy theme was a nice touch

[@aldrincydriexluna5559]

this tutorial made me laugh. playing W.o.T will never be the same again. thanks for the vid bro it very helpful.

[@wendypendy84]

OMG I LOVE THE BACKGROUND MUSIC!!!

[@najsbajsmedmajs]

if you go into the installment folder, there'll be a folder called "replays", there you'll find a lot of replays (if the allow game video setting is activated). if you then want to post it onto youtube, you'll have to record using fraps (or dxtory or something like that)

[@GoldSabre]

Of course! Just be aware of how thick your armour is as a T4 when up against T6/7 and don't take unnecessary risks. Only scout when you have backup.

[@GigawingsVideo]

What I love being a scout is the thrill when I saw bullets flying around me while I'm making my escape.

[@TheBlurpleman]

I really enjoyed how you helped the Type59 against the enemie's Type59 & Lowe. Then your Type 59 went on to get Top Gun.

[@malo1996]

Really nice guide. First vid and instant sub!^^

[@messerJ4H]

@TheRiisingSun My whole point is: - You SHOULD always analyse and take into account green team situation. Everything that's green on the map :D You have full info about them. - You SHOULD closely watch everything that's red on the map. You should even wait for some info to appear about reds. (Should I push or defend my flank, canion? Ah, all of their top tanks are in the city. So I need to push canion hard.)

[@amao8470]

new to the game. I don't understand. How do you just merry-go-round the enemy tanks and evading damage? Is it because you faster?

[@fenrhir]

Very nice video, very nice T-50-2 driver (and very nice tune too ;) ), keep the good job !

[@MistaLister]

Do you mind doing one for the Chaffee? Its slightly different to the T-50-2 as it is much slower but armed with a better gun.

[@Wangpi3ce]

this is very possible to watch, i loved it. he wont fix it when you can mute it.

[@neovo903]

oh man, the old battle results screen, brings me back XD

[@Thatdualsportguy]

Do these tactics work on the Xbox as well? I kinda suck with light tanks but I have to use them to get the tiger

[@ryanocampo3381]

and also I Love the back round Song .. where Did you get that ?

[@PokePresto]

Ah remember watching this when staring playing wot and imediatly going for the t50-2 ah i miss those days. The t50 is my 3rd most played tank to this day and the first few 100 matches were to get the 50k xp to get this beuty.

[@Techial]

Love the music, and epic tutorial! Worked brilliant!

[@patmillin]

Amazing, after watching this i never complain again time to man up and play properly

[@jeffreygerritsen2156]

What is the Theme song in the beginning and the song that you hear when there is text to read? Please tell me!

[@jeffreygerritsen2156]

thankss

[@taistingtheair1368]

NICE, I need work on my Scouting skills, I'm always going into enemy territory to deep and get caught in their cross fire and can't get out. For some reason I keep thinking I will find a scouting spot to sit in camo undetected but that never works because arty or someone always gets me and I can't resist shooting at a target. I see that you always keep on the move and this good except many times I run out of safe moves when running away or going across terrain between cover and BAM I'm dead from some tank I didn't know was there. I also have a hard time getting around the rear of a potential victim. Your vid was a great help, i hope I can get rid of my bad habits and improve my light tank skills.

[@AdrianChis]

Very good video, best tactics ! Well executed, allot to learn for me. Keep up the good work !

[@lottabee]

I was always disapointed when th emusic didnt finish xd, But great vid and great guide! helped alot!

[@jorgesfs]

Will you move slower with a damaged track or it is just going to break more easily and turn slower?

[@underpro100]

youre the best scouter I've ever seen (but also because of the T-50-2 i think)

[@gamergame7163]

That was a awesome video! And DAT cannon :D. You are amazing scout!

[@nogisonoko5409]

This video was perfect for Newbie that suiciding towards enemy lines

[@modellking]

There are many tactics for scouting! but this was a great showing of one of these!

[@voltage7772nd]

that was the most entertaining video i ever watched, excellent work friend. I've chose to go for chaffee instead of t-50-2. i hope i made the right choice

[@bluedove1022]

please share map coordinates for passive scouting on various maps. a list would be great. thanks

[@timesathousand]

Cool guide, you played that out really well. Do you have any tips for those stuck in scout cars w/ lower top speeds? I have to grind through the pz's, and those don't go above 45 when completely upgraded.

[@htutlinn9848]

what is the point of scouting? is it to make the enemy tanks show on the mini map so the teamates could see where they are?

[@PootyBrad]

@lankey If you're playing scout like this you need a fast tank. It's not like they're hard to find the M2 Light is a 60 some odd mph tank. T2 Light Tank is a whopping 75 mph Tier 2 tank and the Panzer's are pretty fast as well.
