Uppercut, uppercut, sonic boom
Right and it's sometimes a bit frustrated at the fuddle as to why they are not winning more games
when they've got high damage and a lot of them will just sit in this spot here as a TD and they
won't venture forth and they won't move forward until everyone else on the team is dead and there's
no one spotting targets anymore and then they'll move forward. That's a mistake. A lot of Blitz is
timing like anything in life but a lot of Blitz is even more so making fewer mistakes than the
other team and if you want to work on your game then things like this are going to be super
important. This is the JagdTiger. We're going to be playing that today. It's a high dpm tank
with okay armor for its tier. It doesn't do well when armored up to it
Look at the angle that I'm taking to get a shot. I'm just going to let the gun flop out here
I've also waited for him to fire before I've taken that move. I'm going to try and track him
That's another thing we need to do more of and then as soon as I do that I pull back in and I
immediately bounce a shell and I track him again so my teammates can shoot him because I'm going
to miss the next shot. I'm willing to get shot here so I can get the kill. It doesn't matter
my teammate gets it. So I take damage there but I only took one shot and I tracked him twice
I put three shots into him and we cleared a tank. Now I didn't get hit there because I was angled up
so savagely coming around that corner. I didn't just come around broadside. I let the tank swing
around. That isn't something that you could really... oh god this tank always misses low. I don't know
why it always misses low. That isn't something that you could really emphasize enough. Angling
as you come around corners because if you are fighting tanks like that T110E4 they're going
to be waiting for you to turn up so that they can take that shot and there is nothing more frustrating
as a TD driver than waiting forever to get a shot only to miss that shot. That's exactly what we
made that E4 do there. The other thing we're doing in this situation look at me I'm just farming
damage here off the hit point pool of that E75 because I'm a high DPM tank. I'm a TD with a lot
of DPM and by not sitting in that spawn point I turned the flank by helping kill the T30. I pushed
through the middle and supported the E75 against the T100 a higher tier opponent and then we're
going to roll through the back end of the map and get the eventual win. This is one of the things that
players who get frustrated and really don't understand why they're losing so much don't do
They don't play with process all the time and as you play these things and do them more and more
you start grinding them into your mindset. You start grinding them into your gameplay and it's
important to note that when you're doing that you're helping your team win. Now
you're not going to win them all even if you try and do all these things correctly you can still
just come up against a team that plays better than your team and that's all right. It is genuinely
okay. We all get frustrated by that. We all are kind of baffled and befuddled. The thing that
I die the most from is not paying attention to what my team is doing
You saw I was in a Jagdtiger and I was the first up here to see. That's not what should be happening
and I realized that we've got a really weird team disposition here. I don't know why but it's a
tier 10 game and they're being incredibly passive on the back end. I was willing to move forward
I don't know why they're chatting. I was willing to move forward with the rest of my team but
they were not moving past me and all I'm doing here is guarding the flank of my 16p
Like these aren't high percentage shots. They're the only shots I've got on offer
Spamming APCR. Super high pen APCR. It might feel like you're wasting time a bit and you're
sitting here but I'm doing two things. One, I'm totally denying that red heavy there. The
opportunity to just creep up and double team my 60TP. He could come underneath that ridge line
there because we don't really have anyone guarding and he could really put pressure on
The 60TP is now pushed. Now I'm going to instantly start pushing down there when I see the second
60TP pop because I know once that tier 10 heavy falls, we don't have another tier 10 heavy to
hold this line and I am already two tanks down. I missed low again. See that? It might look crazy
but I'm actually putting myself on display there and begging to be shot instead of the 60TP
because we're trying to get the win and it's important that I keep him alive and in a position
where he can help hold the line. It's not hit point ineffective. That means he's not so low
that he's not a one shot and taking that shot from the E3 has actually kept that 60TP in the game
and then our 183 has done a wonderful job. He's pushing around the other side
and lo and behold we were two tanks down and we're just about to even this up. Like the 183
and I and the 60TP are in big trouble because they're all coming but at least we've cleared
this flank. We've got three tanks versus four. We're all one shots but look at the angle I'm at again
Always holding this angle. There's the other Jagdtiger. Angle, angled, angle. Now he fired AP
there. I didn't. I fired APCR because why fire AP when you're not sure you're going to pin in these
late game situations? Fire APCR and be certain you're going to pin in these late game situations
It's really really important. Sometimes you might spend a bit of cash like credits to fire APCR
but it's better than actually not getting hit at all. This is an interesting one. People do this
all the time. I think it's absolutely crazy but I'll do it. This 183 is going to look at me
I'm going to max roll for 575 and then immediately change my angles again
He could fire HESH into me but I'm just really distracting him with the WZ and then he just
doesn't turn around. He doesn't try to do anything apart from look at me. People will do this. This
is a mistake. You've got to like this is like sunk cost fallacy. You're like well I've paid for the
shot on this guy. I'm just going to sit there waiting until I get the shot on this guy and that's
a terrible thing to do. He probably should have reversed and slid backwards down that hill
It would have given him an opportunity to try to kill the WZ. I'm not saying he would have got it done
but he could have done more. Finally for turreted TDs this is an easier thing but for non-turreted TDs what I'm about to show you is so so very important
If you're driving something like an Object 268, like an SU-152, like a WZ-113, you have to be
hyper vigilant about lights and mediums that you can really quick heavy so you can get around you
Particularly for me because I'm only running one multi-hit air kit. You can see I am aware as soon as this
scrub VFE starts rolling forward I'm also watching for shots from the side here and I'm looking to
get shots into the VFE as he rotates. This is an Object 142 so what I'm going to do is get near a bit of
hard cover. Hard cover means that you can get your ass against the wall and they can't get around behind you
That guy just took 1200 damage in the VFE. See how I don't have that repair kit? It didn't matter
I got tracked and I was able to survive because the 140 couldn't get behind me and the biggest mistake I
could have made there was going to chase another shot of the 140. Just stay where you are, stay solid
let the enemy make mistakes and if they're making mistakes don't stop them and watch as I rotate
and I'm not going to zoom in on this MP4-202 on this shot. You have to be able to take this shot
without ADSing because if you're ADSing it'll be very difficult. As soon as the gun goes into his
engine deck, press the trigger, go away a happy camper. These are the kind of things that most
experienced players who are 60% plus or even 50% plus and have been playing for a long time
have learned. These kind of simple gameplay mechanics that you put in your game and they
stop you from being cannon fodder. These are the things that will lift you over 50
if you're struggling to get there but you've got to be disciplined with it. It's a fun thing to play this game and there are players out there who are going to be better than
you. Some of them are arseholes, some of them are not great human beings in an online sense
Don't listen to them, don't listen to the guys screaming at you on your team
You're doing your best and you're playing as hard as you can and you're actually making an effort
and you've gone to YouTube and found a video that helps you figure things out
You're putting the time in, just keep doing it. You'll get there, you will get there
you will get there. I hope you enjoy yourself out there on the battlefield
I'm Bushlid, thanks very much for watching. Look after yourselves
