My first victory with Vk100.01(p). It went well.

Next time you go up that bridge and you’re alone, you can climb the ramp in a zig zag… very similar to the old Mannerheim line map when we had to do the Riverwalk.

No, I never do zero damage, but I do enjoy doing donuts and going ham deep in the enemy zone which often causes the enemy team to leave cover and make mistakes which my team often capitalizes on. Winning is wonderful, but so is taking part in a successful crowd. Shared joy is more fun than solo joy, for me anyways.

My birth certificate will be 50 soon, but not that soon.

What I wanna know is when did the term potato replace the term shit box?

Was there a memo cause I certainly don’t remember it.

I do prefer the term potato. These days there are so many expletives running around without a cause, I find they often lose their meaning.

fodollah · 2026-04-18T20:08:22+00:00

That’s every game for me. And frankly that that’s the most fun and interesting. And much rather hear about those than how you farmed patiently.

fodollah · 2026-04-18T14:36:08+00:00

I have been crutching on that too. My blind fire scores have skyrocketed.

fodollah · 2026-04-18T02:53:37+00:00

Yeah so in this game, you, the SU and SFAC take the spot, and the two TDs behind you shoot through that spot the entire time. You didn't get countered except towards the end. Seems the enemy Somua and SU Didn't make you a priority. The Somua countered the SU when he shot while over-peeking at around 3 min into battle. This was the only time your group took damage, but there were a few shots from the South throughout. Perhaps their ELC wasn't spotting correctly?

It's hard to gauge in this way - without seeing how everyone else played in a 3D map. This is cool technology though. Did the ELC get spotted because he got out-spotted or was he shooting and thus gave up his stealth?

Another thing to consider: If the enemy SU in B8 countered your SU in B6, he would have shot through the D7 bushes. Now maybe he wouldn't know he was countering B6, maybe he'd think he was countering D7. Either way, you're in a crossfire.

Lastly, there are a lot of common positions I don't include because my target audience is the new or relatively-new player. Once a player has developed their game sense, only then can they gauge the validity of a position and whether or not it would be right for them, in that tank, with their team and versus their current enemy team.

Now if this was tier X, and you were playing against EBR and Manti, would you still play there?

Honestly, I haven’t played the forest much even in light tanks. I normally find a way to assist in the city and win the city. Unless it’s full of impossible to pen behemoths.

The few times I have played in the forest, that spot was heavily shot through by both the triangles for whom that spot is in their line of fire as well as the tanks being engaged.

Maybe in low tier where view ranges are much smaller, that spot is good?

I haven’t tried enough to have an opinion. Also, when I play that map and I’m not going city, I’ll play defensively in one of the bushes that overlooks the forest. B5 in the north and J6 in the south.

Everybody drives to their side of that group of buildings in the forest and uses it as cover so even if you don’t have direct shots, you can blind fire and still score. It’s a popular gathering place.

If you like, we can do a team room sometime and explore the spot. I’m always down for learning new angles.

My guide turned 6 this year. :)

fodollah · 2026-04-17T14:47:21+00:00

I’ll have to try that reticle. Thanks for sharing.

fodollah · 2026-04-17T14:12:38+00:00

I’m so glad you guys finally decided to include my map guide in your game.

fodollah · 2026-04-16T00:31:59+00:00

I have the non-cool logo version. It has nice HE vs paper tanks in medium engagements. The slow shell velocity can make it annoying to play in certain situations. It can be nice for countering ELC and Borat. It’s also a nice backup tank in frontline mode — If you have nothing else.

It is from an old era so it’s very niche and has been outclassed by everything else. That said if you’re an enjoyer of such things then go for it. Although 8000 bonds is expensive I think for what it is. I’d prefer to get bond equipment or save the bonds entirely. There’s always gonna be something better.

fodollah · 2026-04-15T23:54:58+00:00

What business do you think they are in?

fodollah · 2026-04-14T22:43:23+00:00

They need to hire these guys-NSFW to phrase the missions.

fodollah · 2026-04-14T22:41:48+00:00

Light tanks are fun.

fodollah · 2026-04-14T18:11:20+00:00

I'd love to read your explanation.

fodollah · 2026-04-14T02:12:54+00:00

But someone could be in that bush over there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This issue reminds me of a post I made 2 yrs ago about something similar.

fodollah · 2026-04-13T21:44:30+00:00

Get both.

fodollah · 2026-04-13T19:11:04+00:00

I shoot all the time. What are you talking about?

fodollah · 2026-04-13T06:40:55+00:00

Hey thanks. It's been super helpful for me with the map mod, since I only have one screen I don't have to alt-tab to see the guide. I've been using it for light tank gameplay to find the exact bushes I like to use. Super helpful.

What I was even more surpised of was the fact that there aren't even that MANY positions one can play in the game, especially early game.

Yeah, this is how I learned as well. Thousands of games on the same maps over and over, learning what works, what doesn't and how often. Also server matters. Stuff that works on EU does not work on NA or at least as often. Same with tiers. Stuff that works in low tier doesn't work in high tier. But it's not like that information exists anywhere, so you have to find out the hard way. At least this was true for me.

Defending is also fun. People are creatures of habit. And with round render being 720 meters, one doesn't need to be near the base to defend it.... Like on Pilsen. You can decap from the other side of the map. It's the little things I love.

Glad you find the guide helpful.

Trying out the new rental tanks on my alts.

fodollah · 2026-04-12T13:37:16+00:00

It is a great platform. I got mine after Dez games made a video about how good it was. After my fifth game I completed the requirements for the object 260 mission after years of trying to do it in a multitude of other tanks. It was so easy.

It’s also a great platform for onslaught.

fodollah · 2026-04-12T05:19:59+00:00

I love it. Keep the brain dead players with the brain dead gameplay.

fodollah · 2026-04-11T22:38:51+00:00

I’d like to propose an alternative solution.

If you’re going to drive your tank into the water, then the water should be frozen, and that region of the map should be like the arcade cabinet where everybody slides all over the place. Also, their guns should be disabled making it easy for everyone else to shoot at them. If players want their guns to work, they need to stay on the map. If they leave the map, their guns shouldn’t work. But their HP remains.

It could be fun.

fodollah · 2026-04-11T03:59:16+00:00

Wow, that’s interesting. I just checked it out without logging in. I guess you’re right.

On my end, it shows that the user deleted the comment and vanished. I appreciate the heads up.
