One very important thing I've learned is that every tank has its own unique quirks. This may seem obvious at first but the more you understand it, the WAY better you become. For example the Maus. You can learn angling, you can learn to trade hitpoints. But it's understanding its quirk as a support vehicle, not primarily a solo holding vehicle, enabling you to bait the enemy team for your team to take advantage is what enables you to play it successfully. My most recent case was the STB-1. I mean it seems simple, it's a hard to push holding tank that is very difficult to pen. However, factoring in meh dpm, not great accuracy, and that outside of fully hull down you lose hitpoints faster thank a light tank (cause it's not that fast) I had to learn to almost always go hull down everywhere (and I mean everywhere) and that is almost never a tank for pushing. Thanks to this I went from an intial 55% wr (I really screwed up lmao) to 65%+. I'm still learning how to get the damage up, went from about 2600 to 2900 but ofc there's still a lot or room for improvement. Getting the last 5% is the real challenges. Understanding these things + all the hidden quirks such as timing a push, when to back off and even how to, is what imo enables a player to become really successful at a tank.
This video was amazing. Video idea: I would love a serie where you analyse all maps as you did for the three in this videos, but for each tank type (bonus if it mentions differences between paper armor / hull down / no gun depression etc). This video was definitively good for how i will play the kanvagn in the future
Droodles I wanted to thank you. Your vids made me go from 43% and 600 avg dmg to 55% and 1930 avg. keep doing great, you don’t even know how much videos like this help people who want to be better players.
These are good i like videos that explain the maps. Ive been playing longer than droodles, but i only have like 15k games since like 2014 or 2015 whenever the game came out lmao i just only play like 10-15 battles a week so like even tho i feel like a veteran im still finding map spots through these videos and my own experience.
U are a beast. But I will take these tips and then come play vs you. I am pretty new. So im playing in tier 8. But I watch a lot of your videos to improve.
Also when it comes to average damage overall, you should check their most played tanks since lower tiers do less damage. My most played is the pz gargoyle so my avg is 1600 but in tiet 10 im 3k+
I let the other 6 players in my team bleed and take the shots cuz i know i can win or have a high chance of winning if i survive 1v1 or 2v1 or even 3v1 at the end cuz im a pro player 🥶 but most teams are nubs now 😂
@Droodles Blitz Thanks for the Tips Mate, Even Listren Wolfs - (Old Wolfs) Like Me can Learn from Your experience in the Game, & I must Admit it's making Me a lot better on My Map positioning & Knowing What Tanks I can YOLO or Not LOL ! Thanks for your Commitment To the Game & Most of All to Helping All the Players get Better. 😃
Here's how you can achieve 3k average damage easily: Play tier 10, use tanks with big alpha and good DPM, only go for tanks with HP above your average single-shot damage, block others to allow yourself to get more shots in/constantly push allies lightly from their rear so they can't aim properly (more damage for you) , never go for low HP kills since its a waste of alpha, use HE whenever you can pen someone with it, use map knowledge and go frontline, and ram lighter enemies. The above doesnt guarantee a good winrate, nor that your accont will not be banned, but it will surely guarantee 3k average damage.
Question for Droodles or others - I play on an iphone. I just don't have a pc or ipad. I don't think i get nearly the damage and winrate. It is tough to hit super precise shots and shots on the move on a tiny screen. Have you ever played on a phone and if so, what reduction do you expect in damage or winrate? (if any)
It definitively makes a difference in situational awareness and having big fingers with tiny buttons. In case you weren’t aware in settings you can find ‘same control mode’ and you will only play against touch screen players, no more playing against Pc players with keyboard and mouse and a huge monitor with LAN connection 😊
Yeahhh i still dont have a single tank over 3k average in tier X in my lifetime stats 😢 and like, in 30 days, it just never goes past 3k its either like 3k exactly, or 2.9k with like a 54% depressing winrate
Another problem i have is ill initiate pushes that no one else clues into. Lke ill see 3 green full healths and 2 red 1 shots with a td in the back and meds on med side and ill push the 2 1 shots while team just decides to hold. Then i get shreded after only killing 1. Idk what it is once i see too many 1 shots i like see red and stop thinking
My problem is i dont do dmg on wins. Most wins im at around 1800ish. Most loss3s im around 3k. I also play tons of tier 7 cause i love my lycan and my avg dmg in that is 2k which is great but doesnt help my qvg dmg on my stats
you left our platoon 90% of battles with another super unicum (on voice) and play in PC I remember when you were a mid sixties non-platoon player on device just sayin
Middleberg is weird. Like when i first started playing in like 2014 it was like it itls now where people dont know where to go, but i swear there was a good streak for like 2 or 3 years people just always went up it was common knowledge high ground wins on middleberg. I dont know why we have gone backwards. Too many noobs lost up top and just said fk it tops bullshit i guess lmao
Can we talk about really important fact that no one talks about. You as a part of a team aka the pressure you pose. Sometimes just ebing there deters enemy from pushing or being agressive. Being there putting aditional pressure on enemy team can sometimes stop the flanks from falling and allow your team reorginizing. People know how to talk about positioning but I never hear people talk about going deeper with being there at the right time.
You can do great and all but almost half of the players are way worse than bots at least the weakest bit would hit at least 3 shots these “real players” struggle to do 2 shots of damage
