The Best/Funniest/Learning Potential Replays of Ding760

I don't usually post replays as I have a fairly high standard of what is 'epic'. But sometimes I'll post if there is really a match worth everyone to see, and I mean that. But usually I post some hilarious videos.

So keep an eye on my thread

So to begin I post a funny replay. Getting 6 kills and all isn't exceptional. Although the gem of this replay is that last enemy.... just watch it....oh you'll see why...

P.S: There was a part in the middle in which my game crashed a bit yet it continued recording somehow. You can notice this as my sights suddenly snap into full accuracy in one second.

Lol! That last enemy

you realize you created the first 60%+ true lemmingtrain ever!

Wha? How? D:

There is a reason why I suggest maxing repair on TDs.

3 tanks bumpering each other makes for a true train (you never played with chairs when you were young? ) in this a superlethal gamechanging one.

People! I give you the second part of this replay thread! This one has some good platoon learning potential in it.

Participants in this is me in my T-127, Khul is pz38t and SteelToedSneakers in his BT-7. And I should note at this particular time SteelToedSneakers was a pretty new member of SGTA, so his skill was good, but not spectacular at that stage (he's MUCH better now).

Notice how impromptu tactics even in the heat or the middle of the battle can make a difference. I'm pretty sure had we gone out there without tactics in the end we would not have survived as it's 2 vs 1 at that stage. So next time when you guys are in a platoon, and when you guys have some breathing space... take a moment to formulate a feasible plan, then execute it.

Please watch the chat as closely as the video, which probably means turning up the resolution of YouTube otherwise it's just a blur. There is no spectacular display of skill in this video, only tactical success at it's greatest.

This one has quite a bit of situational awareness themes in it. Try to spot where!



Result of battle:

Spoiler:

After a loooong chat with a student about how it was impossible to change the course of the battle directly, I had to go and retrieve this replays from the grips of oblivion...

But here is the replay of me playing the match which gave me my highest ever recorded kill count.

WOW! i thought the 10 kills i had in a match was an epic number of kills for a micro maus ... but as i saw i should consider a much more aggressive playstyle with it ;-)

Anyone with a fine eye should be able to take away a few tactical choices lessons from this replay.

There are 3 points here I wish to make...

1) One of the most important points I want to stress here is don't be afraid to run away from a fight. If you look after I killed that SU-76, I had to run away from the T-28 because I knew I wouldn't be able to take him on alone. This turned out to be a wise decision as a few minutes later that T-28.... well... let's not ruin it shall we?

2) Also in the final encounter with the enemy Hetzer, don't hesitate to use cover to dodge a more powerful opponent. If it's clearly obvious you are unlikely to win a fight, simply hide and let your allies come to the rescue. As you can see, I hid behind the T57 for a long time against the enemy Hetzer.

3) Auto-aim. Disregard all that pro-ego' bullshit about how auto-aim is for noobs and real players don't user auto-aim. The function is there for you to use, and damn it it is handy! Take the tricky situation of me hiding from the Hetzer while the enemy SU-76 came at me from behind as example. At that time, it was imperative that I focus on driving as if I went out of line from the T57's corpse I was as good as dead when the Hetzer fires. But I needed a lucky roll with the SU-76. Now, admittedly the SU-76 was killed by allies, but you should be able to see how auto-aim does have it's advantages. I also use auto-aim when I'm focusing on driving as a scout.

Have a look, this replay is both insightful and hilarious! Best of both worlds!

I thought this game was a nice illustration of the wonders of keeping a calm head.

There really wasn't much worth noting until the last attempt to defend our cap, where you can see some of my teammates lost their tempers. I figured to myself I should keep a calm head, odds were hardly good, but I've always try to keep a calm mind (if I remember).

Results were very impressive! I know I could not have done what I did if I had lost it. Still, if anything else this replay should show everyone the wonders of sidescraping near the end.

We still lost btw, but that doesn't make the attempt any less deserving of a post here.
