Basics of light tank combat - [COMPLETED]

Light tank combat, theory & practical - Thursday 5th September, 19:00 UTC (forum clock time)

This is primarily looking at counter-scouting, but is meant to also cover what you should be doing in a light tank versus other light tanks.  We'll be using TS3 for comms.

You'll need to sign up here, and anyone that does want to take part in the practical parts, a suitable light tank (at least a tier 4 scout) will be needed.

EDIT:  I realise Behemoth is doing something on that date too, apologies for anyone who really really wanted to do both, but there's no other evening I can do it this week.

I would love to take part with my ELC but i am not sure if i can make it since it is a bit late for me

What would better suit? I could have it an hour earlier if that would better for people.

I would really like to take part as i am pretty crappy with lights and really want to learn how to play them (i have some tier 3 and then next best things i have for scouting are the T49 and Hellcat!!) . I don't have a t4 light but have 6.4k free exp i can spend and can reach the Luchs with top engine but not top tracks (as i have the 1C before it), unless you have abetter suggestion?

Sounds great, really need some help with the AMX1375.

The Luchs is really not bad for a tier 4, it's probably better than the T-50 now to be honest (after the nerfs that received). More of a passive scout, but it can still move ok.

Hiya,

i would like to join as well

Cheerio

Okay, just as a note, I've shifted the lesson to start an hour earlier.

Sign me up.

At present my light tank driving works according to the following program :

IF Scout THEN
 WAIT RND(60-120 seconds) THEN DriveInCircles UNTIL Shot
END ELSE
 HideInBush UNTIL CantResistPullingTrigger THEN Die
END

So any help gratefully accepted.

Count me in - I should be able to take part since it will start earlier. Really appreciate it

Scouts, the part of the game i'm worst at. I have to attend.

Got the Luchs today. Now have top engine, tracks, turret, 100% crew with 46% each in cammo, binocs, cammo net, vents, cammo paint and 1800xp from the tier 5 gun  

Several solo games with 1500+ spotting in tier 7 games  . It is fun...can't wait to get some real lessons in it

I'll try to be there.

I'll give it a go.

Please Sir, count me in  

Cheers PHJ, please sign me up for the basic scouty course as this was much-o-fun-o!....and very informative, even if you did cheat and shoot my poor Luchs with an MT-25
