+Marshal Z The first spot at F5 is at a range of about 400 meters. With optics on my tank and a good crew, I have a maximum view range of 445 meters. It is probable that he did not have optics on his tank, giving him a base view range around 410 meters (which my camo negates at that range). I believe that vision control is underrated in random battles.
I’d really like to hear your advice for playing lights on each city map; I watched you review a 1390 replay on Stalingrad, and it was informative, but it has left me wondering, what are your strategies for playing lights on other city maps?
+Going Vinsane Unfortunately, when playing a lot of the city maps (and some more “open” maps like Tundra) you have limited options as a light tank. You can usually get to a strategic midpoint faster than your opponent, thus getting some intel (make sure you have an exit route). Unfortunately, after the early game you pretty much are relegated to playing like a weaker medium tank and flanking/probing.
+Zeven I really enjoy playing light tanks and your map tactics, as well as your advice on mechanics, has taken a lot of the “sting” out of the often unforgiving learning curve that these vehicles tend to have. I’m no expert but I certainly have a better time than I used to and for that I thank you. Keep it up man!
Do you ever show platoon games? Its both illuminating and informative to see how you think on different maps and would be good to see how that works when you are in a platoon. Thank you for these excellent videos.
+Ralph Taylor Yeah, I have some videos where I try to talk about platoon play ( comes to mind). I also try to talk about coordinating efforts in platooned replays that we review. In general, try to work together, especially in the mid-late game (sounds simple, but you would be surprised at how little “teamwork” there actually is between platoonmates).
As usual I am torn between wanting more people to watch these videos, because they are the best explanation of the game’s dynamics around, and at the same time secretly happy that not everyone watches them because I get access to information that most don’t… Thanks in any case for sharing this!
at the end when it was just you and the leo why were u able to spot him and
him not spot you ? Thanks for the great videos… and your twitch feed,,

Its more fun looking at Zeven’s gameplay than playing for myself. But his
tips and advices encourage me to improve my playstyle, so lets battle…

Like your videos; you are excellent in explaining the tactics and how you
think. BR Digger007 at EU servers
as usual, incredibly informative and helpful, thanks zeven
Very helpful Zeven as u give more indication/explication which way to play
right.

480p? Hard to watch
+CD318 It takes a little bit for YouTube to get the full set of transcoding
going. The 1080p version is active now.
+CD318 try in 240 🙂
I was more interested in the mini map and the audio however for the
majority of the game.
Nice save Zeven.
+Zeven Looks great now, thanks
