WoT Blitz. 10 Rules for Victory 

“If I don’t know what I’m doing, the enemy won’t know either!”

Rule number 11, know that most players are going to ignore rules 1-10 and will die within the first minute and a half.

I didn’t even know there were 10 rules to victory but good job WG for encouraging player improvement 👍

"But if your victory rate isn't 100%, this video will be useful for you." Every WoT Blitz player: *I felt that.*

Rule number 11:Don't forget to pray for a good matchmaker, otherwise you will be put in a weaker team

first rule: never rush when heavy tanks and tank destroyers are not in a ready-to-fire position the second rule: play with your friends because you can directly talk to them when the match is running and set a strategy or tell some information third rule: use a tank that you understand and you are already very good at using that tank the fourth rule: don't be alone on the battlefield because the enemy can finish you off easily fifth rule: play happily without burden or anger so that your performance and mentality don't drop and fall

That is a well made video. I already can see people hating on it but I like how it is brief and very informative. And the rules are on point for casual players.

Rule no 11.. Don't jump tiers only to get completely destroyed and humiliated and also insulted by your teammates, who are not wrong in doing so, this is a team based game and you're expected to play your part, especially in higher tiers. It's always better and more fun to go through the lower tiers, slow and steady, that's where your skills will be developed. Rule no 12.. Always stick with the team, especially the class of tank you're playing. Change positions together and never bounce from one side of the map to the other. Rule no 13... Don't be scared to poke, it's a video game and you won't get physically hurt. Too many times I've seen a heavy or medium just hide just cause the other side has 1 more tank with them, and when they kill your teammate, who was doing all the work, they'll rush you and kill you, you preserving your HP means nothing then. Even if you know you're gonna die, do as much damage as you can, so it'll be easier for your team to take out the enemies. And lastly, Rule no 14.. If you're not a tank destroyer, don't camp, even if you're lower tier, you can always do damage and help the team . Even for tds, if you're an assault td, a td with armour, try being the 2nd line behind the heavies, help them out, if you're a td with a turret, 2nd line with the mediums. You can snipe more easily with a turret. This is a team based game and play accordingly. If you want to just be silly and have fun, there are training rooms just for that. You can't expect to be Silly in regular battles and expect your team to just laugh with you, some of those guys are playing for stats and you being silly affects the game, so don't act surprised when you get verbally assaulted if you do so. Do these and your gaming experience will be better.

Most important rule for teammates: DON'T BLOCK THE REAR OF A TANK DESTROYER THEY ARE MEANT FOR A SHOOT AND GO CLASS!! BLOCKING THEIR REAR WILL DEFEAT THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE SHOOT AND GO TACTIC. I never knew you would have to wait for 10seconds to go full on Houdini mode for the enemies.

How to win: Dont get a noobteam :)

I love to give advice, some obvious, some not but I hope this helps :) Some notes/additions: Rule number 5 - is a gamble. Sometimes you should finish because you can and then move on because any tank knocked out is 1 less on the battlefield. BUT at the same time, especially for the majority of tanks, let someone with the better dps finish if their sight is trained on the low hp tank. Then they will finish, and you, with the bigger alpha, can already weakon the 2nd enemy for your allies Rule 6 - For my TD's I equip the concealment perk in equipment. When I'm spotted, I go behind cover and stay still (can still move gun but not hull) and I wait for the perk to show the camo boost on the bottom of the screen. That's usually enough for the average TD at least (not big ones like Jageroo and Fv183), but if WG says 10 seconds then try doing that instead (they probably say 10 assuming you don't have that equipment slot, that's why) Rule 8 - Bonus advice specifically for shots like 5:08. If you think you can and have good aim, shoot for the center of the front driving wheel. It is both a weak spot, and it immobilises them meaning they take longer to turn their turret (if they're not looking at you) or, it gives you a chance to get behind them where the armour's thinnest. (and hey, bonus xp/credits for ally assistance sometimes!) Rule 9 - Good advice, if you wanna take a somewhat risky shot, at least see if you have a high roll ready (bottom of screen it's a glowing red target sign). It's not guaranteed but a higher chance and good for a finishing shot if the enemy is just above the average damage stated in your tank's stats. Additions: - Use HE and prammo. You're not a 'gold spammer' for having a few prammo shells for an emergency. I carry about 4 just in case I need to make a life or death shot. If you can't, use HE shells, especially for those with 122mm or 152mm cannons and up. Does an ok amount of damage if you can't pen with AP and also if you're running away, it is easier to track them with HE so they can't chase and farm you. - Know your team composition. Normally heavies go heavy side and meds go their way and so on. But if they only have 1 heavy and say you have 2 or vice versa, tell them to stay with the meds so they can blast through and then when they come back for the last enemy tanks (the heavies) they will have no backup. Same for meds. Don't be a hero and go alone (rule 2) stay with your heavies, observe their fight, see if you can get a few cheeky shots off the side and roll back. You wouldn't want the 1 heavy on your team fighting 2 or 3 enemy heavies. They will plough through and that only lets them come to finish you off. - Know your TD's locations and spots. They have the biggest guns and can turn the tide of battle (I've seen Castilla). For example 6:18 was a good example of ISU-152 going to help because it was a 3v1 and it was against a med. But, normally if all of both teams go up the hill, that is a bad spot for a no-turret TD so they might not be able to help unless they push and you get some good shots in as a defense. Very experienced with the ISU and I know that in Middleburg, the city lanes are the best alleys to catch people off guard or peek and retreat. You don't get that liberty in the hill side as you gotta trade shots if you roll over the hills to shoot, with the exception of things like the WZ Tank Destroyer. Good front armour, it can take that risk. - Learn your tanks from both yours and your enemy's perspective Ie. Weaknesses you notice driving (e.g the Tiger II), and weaknesses you notice shooting that same tank (e.g again, Tiger II). As knowing both sides makes you a better driver, and gunner for when you face that tank next time. It will also pay off to learn where and when you can HE pen someone, not only does it help your damage number and team, but it's super satisfying to get a HE pen! - For lights and meds, please, your job is to scout. Don't be afraid to retreat is you find yourself outnumbered or even run into the whole enemy team. Call your heavies over, or you go and join them if they are slower heavies Finally, learn map spots and just play the game. All these new WR helping videos made by WG/WOTB devs weren't here when I started, only Youtiubers did this stuff and even then I didn't know any till 7K battles so I was basically riding blind untill 10K battles. It was there that everything I've said and more clicked and my WR really started going up both on my own and in a platoon. Mind, that this advice is for the majority situation Hope this helps! Happy tanking, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2022!

*Number Eleven* _Count the numbers enemy type tank_ For example 2 HT team vs 3 HT enemy Well 2 HT team should join MT line Another example 2 MT team vs 3 MT enemy Well 2 MT team still going in MT line for spotting and if the enemy mt rush, run and join HT line Flank HT enemy before MT enemy coming That's my opinion, sorry if there was a mistaken 😅🙏

1:50 did wg really just Spelled 3 as "Tree" and not Three wow veri cool, 👍🎄🎉

The chat in this video: "Come here and help me" "Let's work together" The chat in game: "

Yes correct use your teammates as meat shields

"they show good behaviour in the chat" Asia, Euro, NA, RU servers: we dont do that here

Rule 11: Don't hide alone and wait for your teammates to be finished. Enemy will attack you like a pack of dogs and finish you off in the end.

You know the situation is very bad when they start making videos like this.

4:48 WAIT IS THAT A TIGER II WITH HD GRAPHICS?!

Wargaming has put all its focus on bringing in paying players, now they're seeing the games have become a mess and all more experienced players are extremely frustrated, so they try to educate the newbies. Fine, this is good and helpful, but the problem is deeper than training the newbs, if you want to do something, change your attitude and pay more attention to players' experience rather than focusing squarely on their pockets.

How to Play and Win in WoTB: Step 1: Download WoTB Step 2: Lose so many games b/c of bad teammates despite placing top each match Step 3: Delete WoTB Step 4: Repeat process again 5 minutes later

1. Always minimize the damage you are reciving with tactics like side scraping, wiggling, angling, and blocking weak points with your gun. 2. Play with people you know well or can talk to directly in a voice chat or if they are next to you in real life. 3. Play tanks that you know are good. Study their weakpoints and statistics overall, and pick the best tank that fits your playstyle. 4. Study armor profiles of the tanks you find most often. Nearly every tank will have at least one weakpoint. 5. If you are on a losing flank, relocate. If you are in a tank with enough mobility, you should always be maximizing the amount of damage you are dishing out. If you are in a position that does not fit your tank's characteristics well, relocate. 6. Only play when you are in a good state of mind. Make sure you have eaten and had a good amount of sleep. 7. Enjoy the game. Play tanks that are fun.

This video is all very well, but it makes no difference when in every loss I have at least to teammates who do 0 damage, meaning that we were at a disadvantage from the start

"Be patience" ah yes, too bad too much players misunderstood this... Like really hard. The thing is, when ally medium tanks successfully flank the enemies from behind, OR if MTs somehow successfully hold and stall many enemies in their place (usually it's 2 MTs which clever enough to keep 4 enemies at bay), the other side needs to rush quick so they can keep the number advantage and move on to help those good MTs players. I have see too many being "patients" and refuse to rush a 5 v 3 fight, that just wrong and a good way to lose your match.

1. Dont rush 2. Follow your team 3. Never forget rule 1

A good rule for spotters is to make sure you have an out when things go south. Meds and lights HAVE to spot and not act like TDs.

*rule 11 know your tank's enemy and especially your tank also... rule 12 never camp if you are not a Tank Destroyer and if you are a tank destroyer find a better location for your sniping area and join the melee if you are needed... rule 13 never be so arrogant to your teammates they might be left you alone by not helping you and die in the early stage of the battle...*

The most important part of this video is defiantly to watch the map

Good video with solid advice guys! Map awareness, making smart damage trades and not wandering off like a tourist are the best one in my opinion. Maybe you did forget to add rule 11, which would be to fully understand the fun modes like Gravity and Uprising do NOT resemble the actual game. Yes, there's same tanks and damage etc but the tactics and so on are just completely different.

I see that the Tiger II will recieve HD graphics in the 8.7 update 5:09 and btw very well made video

"Join your allies of same type to work in team" I wonder how is that possible if you're an E100, the map has two opposite flank spawns and the whole team went the opposite flank from you. The video is a good idea, but the players watching this usually already knows all the rules but still fails as the teammates has no idea how to correctly play. As the entire video says, team easily leads to victory but if you're the only one who carries the team you'll still die. Except if you play Smasher/Annihilator, of course.

Rule 1 : Pay WG to get +60wr teamates Rule 2 : Make sure to spam tickets at WG

Rule number 11: Never play light tanks

Did anyone notice how the tiger 2 had the new graphics and texture files added to it

Nice, hope it helps some players. Should make this a series because there’s like 150 more rules :)

I love everything you just said. Especially the waiting part. I like to do overwatch and pretty much act as if I'm a tank sniper. That's usually where most of my victories come from.

How about u just simply put a tutorial for each tank type instead of making offers to players....

Rule #5 finish of low hp targets Every dmg greedy unicum: Meh That's how it works boys and girls 🙃

Thank you so much for these tips

Thank you for finally giving the T-44 some love

Learned most of these rules 10 years ago, in the hardcore game called classic WoT. What I have to add: Rule no. 1 - having an afk hurts your chance to win but that's far from certain defeat. I have won games with 1 afk in my team on multiple occasions, no different than having one high tier ally dealing only 200 dmg, how many times does that happen ? Yes, a lot. Rule no. 3 - fully aiming is important for Blitz, it was VITAL for classic WoT. You should also learn how to properly fire on the move, yes there is a fairly accurate way to do it. Rule no. 6 - I count to 12, not to 10. You may count too fast and pop out at the wrong time. Also if you try this tactic twice in a row against same enemy, if he is smart like me he will anticipate, he will counter-count you to 10, wait 2 sec for you to move behind the bush then fire at you without seeing you first. I killed many people like this, some were angry and cursed me, or called me hacker. Rule no. 9 - luck favors the winner. If you get bad luck in a streak in a single game, you did something wrong to begin with. Call it BS if you like, but I believe it. One more rule should be added which is extremely important, taken from The Art of War. When in superior position (more tanks, more hp, better position), attack. When in inferior position (opposite of what I said), defend. More often than not, one team will have less tanks on left and more on right, if the enemy has the opposite then the winner is usually the team which manages to defeat the weaker opposition faster. Inaction, like wrong action, can easily lead to defeat.

Ah dang, how am I so dumb not knowing these? Thanks Wargaming. Although most of the time my team will often ignore the one-shot dead enemy and lost because of that, although if we won it's often me who finished that dude off.

Thank you SO MUCH! I now have a chance of winning 2 in 3. I also got top 2 places 3 battles in a row! Thank you again! Good luck and all the best

Thanks for the tips

All we can do is try to make ourselves better! 11. Learn your tanks strengths and weaknesses as well as its role in each and every battle. If players don’t realize the purpose of lights is to spot and annoy, mediums to assist and annoy and heavies to either push or hold. Took me along time to understand the many many many things that go into the game. She’ll normalization, effective armor, auto ricochet angles, she’ll velocity and many different ammo types to understand to use effectively.

Number 2 - brave (heavy) tanker went to a flank alone. Yeah bc his meds/lights were 40% clowns and drove wrong way, straight to enemy heavies

… 1) Don’t go AFK. = Fair. 2) Don’t go alone. = Fair, provided the team goes the right way. 3) Don’t snap shoot. = False. 4) Use mini map. = Fair. 5) Focus low HP targets. = Fair. 6) Camo reset = 10s = Yes, but actually no because WG are adding a stupid new tank ability for Russian LTs… 7) Pay attention to cap points. = Fair. 8) Trade HP effectively. = Fair. 9) Pray to RNGesus. Hallowed be His name. 10) Learn from super unicums. = Correct. … The fact that some people might not know these things genuinely terrifies me but explains weekend teams so very, very well.

I have been a wotb player since 2015 and this video is great! Thanks.

If you watch this, your enemy will also watch this

Dont go into town ALWAYS hold high ground first. Learn what the type of tank you are playing is supposed to do and go on map.

Thank your for such informative video . 👏🏻

Got to know the tips and tricks . Tysm *Rule Number Tree* XD

5 Rules of Victory for me: -Don't chatted with ur team if u get pushed by enemy (it will make the enemy destroy u and u are late to retreat) -If u are alone and the enemy pushing,Just retreat don't try to fight back or u will be get rekt by them -If the teammates says "go right" or "go left",Just follow the order and sometimes teammates doesn't really care so the team is got defeat (50% chance for this rule) -Don't camp with HT,MT or LT,It's Prohibited ! -if u can't penetrate a tank just switch to gold shell and if it's not working switch to HE.Still,HE will do some damage but less. That's my opinion Thx

I just like the video, thats all. The simple rules to win, nice and genuine.

Very well made video!

At the start of the battle, if I am going to base, I always make sure to keep an eye to the map if there are some enemies that spawn.

this should be unskippable video when you create your account

Actually pretty useful and nice from WG, explains everything I want my teammates to know

Great video Wargaming, but both you and I know that over 50% of the playerbase will struggle to understand, let alone follow these rules.

Those rulles helped me so Much ty pt i bought wotb merch and i am subscribed

Ok I must say that I have been really critical with your tutorials in the past but this video right here is rly well made so good job

We need more video like this Explaining the game mechanic and tactic

The 10 second rules was really usefull for me using light tank , it really great shocking enemy and make them blunder is always fun

Thanks a lot!

1:99 tell that to your aiming circle people never need to aim when hitting me but yet fully aimed has a 60% chance for missing or bouncing for me

This should be a mandatory video at tier 3 or.4, especially for those who prefer heavies and race for higher tier models. When outnumbered by the red team counterparts, it's a smarter choice to roll with the rest of the team.

This video is so useful! Thx WG!

thanks for doing this for us

the most important rule: bring premium shell t34/100 's HEAT has 250mm, using boost pen will be 275mm which can pen the tiger II front armor if u cant use the circle of death that's for the example

Thx WG for your (useless) advices!

The spoting . Rule 6 will be a new trick to me when need to move without spoting to a new cover after 10 seconds

Thanks for that

2:55 @Droodles this one is for you

Here's one to add... if you are playing in a platoon, a medium and a heavy, then you still have your job to do as medium on the flank, so don't run off and join your buddy on the heavy side (exceptions to this rule can apply).

Great video. Now I can circle of death Bulldog with Su152

THX!

A video that’s appreciated by everyone whether you’re a beginner or an high skill player.Keep it up!

Rule number 11 : Always camp with a heavy tank , push camping td's if you have to !

It will b help thanks for making a video. ,🙂

May I suggests that you allow the player to change the direction of the minimal to North so that he can instantaneously figure out his position ?

lol rule number 5 in a nutshell you stole my kill i wont help you

Rule#69:Which comes before Rule 1..is that before the start of the battle it's a 50% chance of win or loss..making it a win is 49% Skill and 1% luck(or Rng).

thanks for the info, so i can make my team win

well, this game it's a chaos especially at low tiers, this video was a necessity =]

2:36 2:46 did you spot the difference a teammate wasn’t there the first time the 2nd time they where it’s usually when 2nd showing but they just up and leave after getting spotted leaving your flank or not even fighting back

Look at map at start to see where team indicates you to go. Go with team.

Great video

TEŞEKÜRLER...

Thx wg for tips : D

Falto la regla número 11, si el equipo enemigo son puros tanques PAY TO WIN OP, lo mas probable es que sea derrota tu partida

Thank you Wargaming

The rule 5 sometimes work for me but the problem is the slow reload of my allies but deal heavy dmg. so if they see low hp tank they will shoot it but when they about to shoot its was taken out by other so the ammo was wasted off and have to wait again that means it will become a cause of lack support that leads to defeat

I’ve seen these rules misinterpreted into bad tactics, so there should be clarifications. The lone heavy wandering off isn’t a great idea, but their example of one heavy being swarmed by 3 opponents should be combined with the tip about map awareness. If the other 6 teammates are on the other side of the map, then logically they should have some advantage and should react to that. Also, the lone heavy should tread carefully until all red tanks are spotted

Excellent video :) great to see more educational content for players as the game is growing. Well done

Everything went excellent

Thx for tips XD

I think another small but good point to add is to always be in the upper ground so don't leave hills when unclear of enemy pos.

Thank you wg for making this video! I hope to see more trained players in the battlefield.

Thanks for the tips, WOTB!

Well made video. Prob wanted to cover the new 20 second spotting mechanic though…
