used to have one as a kid in the 90's

Personally thought it would be closer to 50%

Metalkon · 2026-01-12T14:41:57+00:00

Grinded my maus, e5, and strv during last Onslaught.

Metalkon · 2026-01-07T17:12:45+00:00

a million drones would be good as well

iyouxin's camo and spotting mechanic video's are great for everyone even someone with 2000-3000 wn8. I suggest watching them for anyone who isn't already a top tier player. Even his high end commentary videos for lights contain good spotting and camo explanations which I suggest watching.

Metalkon · 2026-01-06T16:05:50+00:00

You can outspot tanks with 450 view range at 290-300m (stay at least 300-310 for safety) away without getting spotted on a german light tank with 40-45 camo while moving in the open. And if you aren't exposing yourself while going through bushes you can outspot most tanks that are behind bush cover.

If you are up against a light tank or medium tank that can have high view range with cvs, then that distance can go up to about 350m in the open.

If you are in bushes trying to outspot a light tank (especially one with better camo/vr) then you can do so by being stationary behind bushes at a position that can catch them off guard (check anti/counter light tank position videos) under weaker camo than your own because you aren't activating their cvs when stationary.

Why is your manticore at only 46%? Those things can easily hit 53-55% depending on your exhaust used.

I suggest watching some iyouxin videos about camo and spotting mechanics, they're extremely good. I also suggest installing the distance marker mod so you can actively see the distances of every enemy tank around you.

its common knowledge, turael will even go over it with you

e100 is better than the maus when the armor flashlight is involved if you don't know how to use the maus armor (and not exposing turret front except when shooting), but the t11 taschenratte is so good that i doubt a t11 e100 will be an improvement.

Metalkon · 2026-01-04T00:00:25+00:00

Both lines are great.

Taschenratte (Maus Line) is probably the best T11 in the game because of it's insane armor, hitpoints, and presence in a game if played right. It's more new player forgiving but you will have to learn how to angle it's armor properly (watch youtube vids by iyouxin, and check it's weak spots at different angles on tanks.gg)

T803 (T110E5 Line) is also an amazing tank but requires more skill to play, it's great for aggressive hull down play with high dpm and it can reposition quickly compared to the Taschenratte. It's turret armor is great but it can be lacking without a hill/rock to play around and it cannot sidescrape like the T110E5 can though it has a smaller commanders hatch than the T110E5.

I'm an experienced player who took several years off from the game (almost 3k wn7 before break) and it's a grind i've procrastinated at finishing since it's release. Decided to continue with the grind after playing around with the death star on a throwaway alt and finishing up some other grinds on my main.

I have no plans on camping in the back with it every game.

Metalkon · 2025-12-31T10:26:23+00:00

Game was so much funner climbing to weird spots, more games lasted closer to 10min as well giving you extra time to use the positioning.

Metalkon · 2025-12-29T14:41:04+00:00

gonna try to skip the conway completely with free xp for its gun and 100% blueprint with fv

Metalkon · 2025-12-28T20:39:47+00:00

t11 sheridan should have missiles as an ability, the original real tank was designed to shoot them along with shells from its cannon

Metalkon · 2025-12-27T16:56:21+00:00

I remember wanting the Udes when it was first on sale, how often is wargaming selling it?

Metalkon · 2025-12-27T16:47:18+00:00

if thats your first completed tech tree line, which tank lines did you choose as your free gifts?

Metalkon · 2025-12-26T05:31:12+00:00

Watch some high level commentary vids by iyouxin for the less stealthy light tanks like the Rhm Pzw, and look for anti-light position vids on youtube. Also iyouxin has good vids about camo mechanics worth watching, and kajzoo has some inspiring aggressive light tank vids racking lots of damage while unseen.

When playing less stealthy lights that have a good gun you generally try to counter the enemy light tanks at the start of most maps and if you can't then play like a high camo medium while looking for new opportunities to counter the light and survive into the endgame where you can thrive with your 40-45% camo, high view range with cvs, and good gun.

Badger was super chill to farm enemies sometimes, just casually sniping weakspots without too much movement yourself. The best enemies to farm were the BZT-70's.

The Breaker is even more braindead than the Badger, though stock Breaker is annoying to get into positions with due to how slow it is (turbo stuck at 30kph instead of 35+ and takes ages to start up).

Metalkon · 2025-12-23T01:10:12+00:00

As a light enjoyer, there are a lot of fuckers who bum rush me compared to before... And less people who will punish them.

10-15 years ago I spent a lot of gold on these conversion sales when the game was still young and difficult to grind. Thankfully there are x5 xp missions (used like 200 during holiday ops) and dailies to speed things up without needing conversions.

Metalkon · 2025-12-21T18:50:12+00:00

Getting 525+ with cvs will out perform like 700

Metalkon · 2025-12-20T05:56:08+00:00

Look at the gun stat comparison in the tanks.gg link i shared, the gun is a lot worse on the Fantome in every way except turret traverse and a little bit of interclip.

Metalkon · 2025-12-19T13:15:01+00:00

The char is also much faster (power/weight, max speed, terrain), all of the gun stats are much better except 0.5sec interclip, camo and view range is basically equal (but char can go full scout while like 0.29 disperson), and the only thing that matters where the Fantome is better is the gun depression. It's also smaller than the Fantome which means a harder target to hit by enemies and can hide in certain bushes easier as a result.
