5:30 If you leave extra effects on low or medium, you will be able to see the muzzle flash when the enemy shoots so you know which tank it was that fired. If you leave it off, you won't see the flash.
*PSA TO ALL 48% WINRATE SHITTERS!!!* 21:00 - _About pre-aiming in 3rd person to quick-peek;_ don't forget he is demonstrating his shots in a Leopard 1, a tank with god tier gun handling. If you try to peek that quickly with your heavy that has shit gun handling, you'll miss almost every time. You should still use this strat, just keep in mind that most tanks will still have to aim a bit before taking the shot. _This strategy greatly reduces that time, but does not make it zero._ He's able to get away with it because he's in a leo, and he's just better than you.
7:10 don't put anything for "Penetrable area" If you do you can trick your brain into thinking you might hit something you can't shoot through. Leave it on "None".. With that you will look at a tank and even if there are boxes or something there, you won't see them so you won't be tricking your brain. Only one you want is the "Impenetrable area" since you obviously want to know of any solid cover near the enemy you're looking at. Also good for seeing if an enemy could pull back into solid cover.
15:50 a good way to fix this would be having the possibility to press a button and the gun would just lock at that range. There's even a mod for that in Aslains called "ballistic calculator" or something similar.
minute 6:20 you're wrong, it does not you either align to the right or left edge of the notification depending of which side you got fired from, if fired from far left you make reticle be on the LEFT side of the notification, if fired from far right, you aim on the edge of the notification, though it also depends on depth, so if there are multiple bushes close and far, use common sense to identify which bush you're getting fired from.
The shit you were talking about at 15:00 is a big problem for me, I play NA with 240 ping avg. So i have to lead shots quite a bit compared to others and when it comes to leading the aim point can be a big problem sometimes.
This is really really good. I am trying my best to do this. Thanks so much. 90% of your aiming should be done in third person part I mean. I had been trying to search in third person a lot more already as I see people doing it on stream quite a bit, Guess you have to get used to whether you really have a line of sight from your barrel or just from third person, but I would guess it comes after time.
how you switch to sniper mode is preference, but if you use shift your zoom level should be set to x2 imo - it's always quicker and easier to zoom in on a target while keeping it at the center of your reticle than it is to zoom out
So this is part of why i always get shit on in clan wars and inevitability get myself benched LOOOL There are actually so many levels I just subscribed to learn more Would like to see more of how you bait shots/maximize armor. I guess part of it is reducing exposure time by not repeeking in the same place/ timing reload but would like to see little things you do differently to win 1 on 1 brawls in close quarters
The fsct that WG doesn't put much effort into teaching new comers is just diabolically depressing. And when professionals or good players explain to clueless players their mind get blown of festures thay were already there and get an insight how it works. Cheers for you to go step by step how this works. I already knew these thungs simply because i learned it the hard way and alos rhe fsct i don't play WOT on PC anymore. I play on console with mouse and keyboard of course. That game dkes have problems of it's own but it's most fsir and fun out if the 3 WOT games.
14:03 you show how that if someone is moving side to side and you need a cupola, you actually are aiming at the hill behind them, well I knew that but you didn't really present a solution really. Generally I just aim a bit lower, or I am not sure if it works but right click hold to hold your aim Should keep you where you want to be right? This is also an issue when people go unspotted your shot will go high so best to aim lower. So that is usually how I deal with moving cupolas but damn it is hard. Except when I try to do it then sniper gods are facing me and hit everytime
@@chris_hisss Generally I think its just something to keep in mind and try to avoid. For that situation specifically I dont think there is much you can do other than try and shoot them when they are infront of the building or just aim lower on their turret. Its usually a pretty rare thing and sometimes in pubs you can just go do something else.
@@paddii Yeah this is a major problem I think we all deal with really, constantly roof and cupola sniping. Shots go high like crazy. Don't really understand it all. Haven't been able to adapt very well to this technicque yet. However when I get beat on a corner poke it makes way more sense now.
My issue is seeing that tiny white dot, most of the time it gets lost in the graphics. I see other streamers have a different color dot but i think it's a mod as you can't change the color in the game settings. Awesome video, never seen anyone talk about aiming this way. keep up the great work.
@@darkninja___ I use x2 personally. I like it at x2 since a good starting point for going into sniper mode. Also not as tunnel visioned as you would be in x8 or higher
what condition causes your reticle to change aim when switching from 3rd to sniper? It happens to me all the time - you pre-aim in 3rd person, but when you toggle your actual aim point drops down from the 3rd person point. Is it because of that commander's view setting?
If you are talking about what I think you are then its because you catch your aim point on some rubble or a building in front of you and aim 2 feet away.
@@paddii could be. It may be commander's view. Because it switches the viewpoint from the gun to the cupola. I will try to remember to test it tomorrow;
im finally going to be able to aim after 12 years of playing thanks paddington!!!!!
Pro tip : when you miss, blame arty.
After watching more wot videos than i like to admit over years ive never seen some of these tactics. This is great.

I put that on because pen-able objects lower penetration and it’s nice to know that
This vid is much more about aiming than the recent WoT-one.
TRUE !!!

now all the old farts can aim awesome. can the next guide tell them how to use their keyboard and maybe how to turn their monitor on?

folliage transparence is also better to disable imo

WOT has, BY FAR, the DUMBEST aiming mechanic I have seen.
