Basic - Camouflage and spotting - 14th of October - 18:00UTC - COMPLETE

Hey guys,

Basic trainings are up. Especially for new players we will be going through the basics of the game mechanics. This will help you in preparing for the essential trainings.

Recommended for beginning players or as refresher.

In this training we will discuss the theory behind camo and spotting, how to best hide your tank and the actual mechanics around this. It will be a mix between theory and some practice. I expect to require 45 minutes to 1 hour.

When? 14th of October 2013
Where? EU1
Time? 18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT, 20:00 CET.
TS? YES

Is it good to mention that they screwed up camo system so it's not as reliable as before? We tested it, remember?

Yes it is part of the training indeed. This is actually one of my favorite trainings as we end up playing hide and seek

Cool! May I bring my PwnPz E-100?

Count me in. Will the double bush technique be covered. I keep trying it but failing

Sure, we can show the difference with a small scout . Also: you are welcome to scout all the hiding students with your E-100

Note to self: reserve 2 hours instead of 1.

Why tomorrow oh why?

Thanks for the lesson. Hide and seek was fun  

Thanks for the lesson! I'm going to use cupola spotting and double-bushing more.

Searched for some info on spotting and the question if binocs and optics stack.

You migth also take a look at this:

(those who use Google Chrome can translate. If not: 1st row 'standing', 2nd 'moving', 3rd 'firing'.)


I think if per chance the optics and binocs will stack, this will change in the next update so they won't stack anymore.

about scouting, recently I found out about this guy (NA player). He has some excellent guides and map tactics:
