It's usually possible to look back in hindsight and see what could've been done differently. Almost 10k spotting is a great game, no matter what. Great video, Claus!
I was trained as a scout IRL and can't play them for Shit. And it's all about not being able to control my twitching trigger finger. Your Patience is magnificent.
Usually it loses matches. When I'm spotting, my team seems to think it's a good idea to take shots when they're out in the open, instead of getting themselves 15m behind a bush.
Yesterday I uninstalled it. Bored to death playing the same maps with the same way, losing the same way or usually wining by 15-2 depending on matchmaking. Taking a break or a long break or forever time will tell. Still love the videos of Claus on the other hand. Not bad to watch here and then.
The game is getting worse, not better. So if you take a break now, it probably will be long haha. Longest break I took was 3 years. And the time I play vs. the time I take breaks is definitely getting shorter :D But honestly - in War Thunder (Realistic/SImulator Battles, not arcade...arcade is total crap) it is not so much better - and I have to play one of both because I love tank games.
@@Duke49th I think i am through with the free to play concept generally. I have downloaded Call of Duty Warzone, which is free to play as well. There you have cheqters with aim assist and wallhacks. There are weapons that have almost zero recoil and incredible accuracy. Of course these weapons are available only for those they pay or have played a million hours. Which brings me back to World of Tanks again in different style. So I would rather pay once to get a balanced game and demand to be fair rather than be "free to play" but being unplayable by an average player and have to spend more than 5 games together only get some kind of average experience. I get it that nothing is free actually. They designed it and their goal is money by making the standar experience unbearable. For me that's over. I went back to my favorite Company of heroes 2 where usually the guy that beat did it square and fair being better. Almost free or play and if you pay for a commander you pay 3 euro not 60 for a tank. I installed single player best game ever Max Payne 3 and that's it for this year. I am done with the free to play-free to pay games. If I had time I would have started a total war game which are legendary but require too much time that I don't have anymore.
@@georgiospapahatzis9910 The concept of "Free to play" hides the intention to literally clean your wallet. WoT is no exception, on the contrary, it has taken it to a higher level. In my opinion, their "sister" sites offer plenty of "forbidden mods" to make the game available to beginners, place them in some rank of "successful" and to move from "weekend warriors" to the status: "pay and win" ... etc. ever come back, I only play with Tier III no higher.
I remember this game form the stream: (1) super unicom advices on the chat: “shoot him”. Yeah, right! What a m…ns. (2) you could just relocate to left side of the bush after the blind shot but I can understand that you came to the conclusion that there was nothing else to be done at that position. HUGE GG BUDDY!!!!
Not many people have the patience to passively spot. I run into this all the time when playing. People have to understand that lights increase the view range of the team. You can see them...they can't see you. If the lights on you team get killed too early, then the team is at a handicap. Great example and great game Claus.
When you said you can't shoot because you will be dead in 3 seconds from the first shot. Not if they are comparable marksman to your teammates lol. Great video Klaus. Patients is key
That was a great game on your part. I believe that a lot of the player base can't cope with these 15 minute games. Hence players say gg on the 3 minute games when I say they were shite and boring. Thank you for uploading it to UA-cam as it was a great light tank game.
I have also switched off chat (something I periodically need to do for my own mental health) and have stopped my premium account (WG and allegations of money laundering). So I am healthier and richer.
This game is an excellent example of how rediculous the spotting/vision mechanics are in this game. one one end tanks arent lit up bare 100meters out. and the other game you cant get closer then 250meters or you'll be guarateed dead. disgusting if you think about it.
GG, had those exact type of games on this map on the SEA server. Last 3rd of the game I need to go into yolo mode when I've figured out my teammates won't move. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
Good morning buddy, I love the video but I suffer from lack of control trying to play lights and turn into a muppet and start shooting and then back to the garage. Unfortunately your team was like most of my teams, spotting gives you information on when and where to push but most teams never look at the map and can’t figure out where and when to push. Great game buddy, have a great 👍 day
Great patience shown Claus and good game. I'm pretty sure there was no one who could hit the LT-432 for a good while as he was behind a rock in depression, but it must have been frustrating!
8 minutes in. Am I the only one wondering how stupid the Lt-432 has to be to not know where he's being spotted From? He can blind fire Your bush no problem...yet he doesn't.
Man, as a TD I wish I had spotters like this. Every game I play is without, and usually the games with good spotters are easily won. Such an important role that I am trying to learn myself, so I can help the team out
Note to self: Don't dare screw up big time if you're on Claus's team..... it's not just the loss of the battle .... you also become UA-cam material of what not to do. (Frankly I couldn't drive a light tank to save my life... lol😁)
That was rough! I was silently urging that AMX M4 and Somua to relocate to a spot they could actually have a shot on things you spot. Where they were they were not going to hit anything unless that spotted enemy was dumb and came out from their hole. And that SU-130PM was not in a great spot to shoot much. They could have moved to a better spot too. Great spotting, I love to passively scout but it is a lost art with many of the maps WG makes. Only a few where you can do really well passively. This is one. Though your spot is well known and I often blind shoot there. ;)
Wait, Claus! You were in one of those Call Of Duty Light tank Bat Chats with the machine gun. You were supposed to run around the map like a maniac, fire-hosing everything in sight like all the other light tank players. Besides, Wargaming gave the Bat Chats a cloak of dispersion just like the Russian tanks as well as special armor which make them particularly effective at Call of Duty game play style. But really, thanks for showing how light tanks are supposed to be played, not like the vheeled wehicles! To bad your team wasn't able to take advantage of the spotting.
Great game Claus! People just don't want to take risks to try and win a close game any more. They would rather keep the other team from winning by drawing.
I think you passed on a great opportunity to shoot that LT 432, when the enemies were all lit 😉 since they were all panicking at that time. But that was your call, you thought it was safer not to. Great game anyway, old man!
Yeah I kinda agree. There was few times when almost all enemy tanks were lit and no one was watching/aiming at his position. Could have used that time to push out and shoot 2 times to take out the low hp LT 432. Great spot game anyways!
Made almost 9k in ltg in campinovka recently. Maybe it would have ended the same, but by my surprise when I pinged to cap the enemy base to secure win and drag out last enemies from spots, one of my teammates did it. 10k is 10k, it doesn't matter at this point if you get those Victory fireworks at the end, after such performance you just know that you did everything.
Most players have no patience and rush forward like headless chickens; then blame glass cannon TD's for "camping". "Reeeeeeeeee, I went over the hill, why didn't you follow me, reeeeeeeeeeeeee". Most games on open maps are lost or won by spotting, good spotters are extremely valuable.
Nice Lessons on spotting and “Bush Mechanics”, and for those that tell you to “just shoot ‘em” - they’re NOT PAYING ATTENTION”! Game: We are only 1/15th of a group of random players against the same. We need to stop using “TEAM” - there are NO teams. Improve your odds of winning: Join a clan, platoon often, accept criticism, play in Premium vehicles, read everything WG publishes and watch Kellerman videos.
Great spotting, but def a game where arty would come in handy ;) "but but... you were s'pose to carry, Claus" lol Well played.. guess muppets are everywhere o.0
I did almost the same, but no one would fire on any target I called, because they had a platoon with another light tank and only shot when he called targets, sometimes it sucks to try and play as a team.
Sometimes you get crappy players or ones think they are good but stink. You did better than me in spotting, I couldn't have sat that long without firing.
The problem with taking that position on Maninovka is that you lock a lot of attention of your own team and prevent them from taking the important positions fast.
That was definitive UA-cam Worthy Claus - but you say that when a player shoots and don't pen a load of ammo is a bot? -well the I guess I am - I am even not a regular shmo... I might be a new bread of shmo - maybe a micro-shmo? *lol* - Nevertheless: Nice game.... sad to see that the rest of the team didn't follow up at the end (or at the middle) of the game. - AP in Norway.
Trying to learn scouting. But these corridor maps are really hard to scout. My team kinda want me to Leroy it and run into the spawn and within 10 seconds from the start. Awsome upload sir. Love the game. Really awsome game, wauw. Subbed and followed. Thanks.
The guy in the skorpion who hit 4 out of 16 shots is the same type of person who spams chat and the forums blaming everyone but himself for his 44% wr after 25k games. You’ve got to just laugh and roll on tankers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing game mr. Claus but i must warning you i have been playing light tanks only to do spotting assistance damage and i don t receive the damage even though i was the one who spotted the enemy. I believe that is due to the servers
Not sure what you could have done better Clause. Regardless, I am forwarding this video to my brother, he loves darting around in light tanks, but is way too impatient. Constantly caught extending out too soon, then getting predictably eliminated, by every enemy looking for an easy mistake. He doesn't listen to me, perhaps this light tank tutorial will help, thanks.
The lancen c shot at somua and hit you, you could stayed in the Bush with no trouble. Was just a lucky shot, a mistake to leave Bush as so many does from a unintentionally shot and then dies.
if I had placed myself in that bush, half the enemy team would have blindly shot me in the first minute of the game xD
Plus: nobody would have shot any enemy tank that I spotted.
@@Duke49th and nobody could hit that lt 432 because he was all the time out of line of fire from any direction
Yeah very true
Thats the basic for heavy and middle and td artys know where are best spots for lights and open fire to the bushes no matter what
It's usually possible to look back in hindsight and see what could've been done differently. Almost 10k spotting is a great game, no matter what. Great video, Claus!
You either had massive camo or the 432 had crap view range...I wouldn't be so fortunate
I was trained as a scout IRL and can't play them for Shit. And it's all about not being able to control my twitching trigger finger. Your Patience is magnificent.
Who trained you as a scout?
My Word! this is so needed. Spotting wins or loses matches most of the time.
Usually it loses matches. When I'm spotting, my team seems to think it's a good idea to take shots when they're out in the open, instead of getting themselves 15m behind a bush.
That and good artillery!
Chat spamming “just shoot”. Sums up the player base nicely 😂😂😂😂😂and explains the 3 minute games 😎
Passive spotting requires patience which some days I don’t have. Well played Claus
Amazing to see a team that doesn't self-destruct in two minutes. Tremendous trigger discipline on your part.

@@paulie_one_eye yes he was
Definitely UA-cam-worthy! Great game.
It takes very good discipline to NOT fire with so much opportunity. Well Done CK!
You may have lost, but that is the BEST Light Tank game play I have seen in a long time... Too bad the rest of Your Team could not shoot very well !
it was the most basic lt play.

My dear Claus Great spoting and the team shooting, ive done something like that but my team was something else, like "special" if you know what i meen
This game is an excellent example of how rediculous the spotting/vision mechanics are in this game.
one one end tanks arent lit up bare 100meters out. and the other game you cant get closer then 250meters or you'll be guarateed dead.
disgusting if you think about it.
Am addicted to a daily dose of Claus. I need a doctor.
GG, had those exact type of games on this map on the SEA server. Last 3rd of the game I need to go into yolo mode when I've figured out my teammates won't move. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

LOL that poor LT-432 had no idea he was spotted the whole time.
Excellent video Claus. You're one of those very few youtubers who gets a like from me even before the video plays. Keep it up
You did a sterling job Claus. Well done.
Good game and instructional video Claus! Thanks!
I love it :) You've got Skills shouting "Russia" as he fires, and you saying "Patience" you guys are awesome for this game....just saying o7
I am pretty sure Claus began the shout of RUSSIA when firing...years ago.
If that doesn't work you can get a Russian Reach-around.
@@armandosignore3120 LUL......nice :)
Hey Claus… well done, ever time I take that bush my team refuses to shoot and I waste 5 mins….
Or they keep missing their shots
There are few things more frustrating to me than when I spot and no one shoots.
Yeah, this is main problem playing light tanks. You can spot whole enemy team and may get no assist, because allies don't pay attention...
Wow, looks like typical X5 weekend team play
Great patience shown Claus and good game. I'm pretty sure there was no one who could hit the LT-432 for a good while as he was behind a rock in depression, but it must have been frustrating!
Great tips here, now I know better on how to use my light to lite them up and stay alive longer
8 minutes in. Am I the only one wondering how stupid the Lt-432 has to be to not know where he's being spotted From? He can blind fire Your bush no problem...yet he doesn't.
Yeah, stupid is as stupid does......1. he aint you, 2. you aint him.....3.....theres no such thing as perfection o7 everyone has bad days.
He was only lit once ...after that he probably didn't realize he still was
Oh i agree, one of the best spotting results ive seen in a long time :)
@@itsnot_stupid_ifitworks this is the truth of the matter. He was oblivious to being perma-lit
Thanks for sharing this game Claus - some good lessons.
Man, as a TD I wish I had spotters like this. Every game I play is without, and usually the games with good spotters are easily won. Such an important role that I am trying to learn myself, so I can help the team out
Hey, it was you're team's turn to lose, and your spotting dragged it up to a draw. You DID win, Claus. You beat the RNG.
Note to self: Don't dare screw up big time if you're on Claus's team..... it's not just the loss of the battle .... you also become UA-cam material of what not to do. (Frankly I couldn't drive a light tank to save my life... lol😁)

cant believe that the LT432 did not take some blind shots at the bush.
that was some amazing ninja juju
I love your humor. And truly WP.

My spotting game is improving. Ty
☕😉👍
My best scouting game was in that tank on that map just the opposite spawn. Probably 3 years ago but I still remember it.
Wow look at all that spotting damage that’s the proper way to do it.
Awesome match,textbook spotting on that map. Unfortunately you were playing with second tier Muppets.
To be fair there were opportunities for shots towards the end you could’ve taken. The frantic yolo at the end proved that more so
Always great to learn something.
Great spotting, but def a game where arty would come in handy ;) "but but... you were s'pose to carry, Claus" lol Well played.. guess muppets are everywhere o.0
Claus, there is nothing you could've done better other than having a better team. 9700hp spotting at tier 8 and it's a DRAW........WOW!!!!
Those two bushes are where I fire my shells as arty pretty early in the battles... and hey - no arty here!
I did almost the same, but no one would fire on any target I called, because they had a platoon with another light tank and only shot when he called targets, sometimes it sucks to try and play as a team.
What I love, is when players on your team egg you on to move when you sit in a position like this, I turn off chat for a good reason.
Awesome vid as always Claus, Thank you. Laughed so hard at "Step up fanboy."Hope you are having a great day.
Hats off to this solo warrior!!
I cant understand how the enemy team dont blind shot you from the beguinning
Sometimes you get crappy players or ones think they are good but stink. You did better than me in spotting, I couldn't have sat that long without firing.
The problem with taking that position on Maninovka is that you lock a lot of attention of your own team and prevent them from taking the important positions fast.
Funny minute 11.20. Claus Kellerman: "Ohh, artilery can shoot him." There is no artillery, Klaus.
Wow, this showed up in the list on the side panel. Hadn't seen you there in years.
Damn I wish I could be that good at Spotting since Every time I drive to a spot you did I get spotted and blasted by half the enemy team
Klaus, you are pretty good IT player... :)
Don't remind him! It clearly bugs him :P
Well played Claus !
Situation with LT-432 shows, why CVS should be used on light tanks. Even if this LT-432 would have stock view range, with CVS he may spot Claus.
That was definitive UA-cam Worthy Claus - but you say that when a player shoots and don't pen a load of ammo is a bot? -well the I guess I am - I am even not a regular shmo...

Did you notice the two players you singled out,nuthatch could not hit a barn door with a Dunny brush were both anonymised. Lol
In a word, it is not the players who make a difference in the fight, the RNG makes the difference
Trying to learn scouting. But these corridor maps are really hard to scout.

Well played Claus.
This is why I love/hate this game...he didn't get proxy spotted from the lansen...so much fun to play a non-consistent game
I love how he has to look down to the keyboard to not miss the key xd
The extremotroph (metal eating) stalkes in different environments and depends heavily on the skill not to be seen!
Amazing game mr. Claus but i must warning you i have been playing light tanks only to do spotting assistance damage and i don t receive the damage even though i was the one who spotted the enemy. I believe that is due to the servers
The AMX also believed he was spotting 😀

have a cookie Claus, Skill's dad was on duty today :))
Not sure what you could have done better Clause.
Regardless, I am forwarding this video to my brother, he loves darting around in light tanks, but is way too impatient. Constantly caught extending out too soon, then getting predictably eliminated, by every enemy looking for an easy mistake.
He doesn't listen to me, perhaps this light tank tutorial will help, thanks.
B b b but Claus, everybody know French tank is da best! Bonus, you get Thomas!
Should have played a Russian tank, then you could shoot through hills 😂
Sitting in a bush for half game...nice tutorial bro LOL
Team !?, McFly!!!? I think they got stage-fright knowing they were gonna be on UA-cam!
I feel bad for Thomas :( LOL
Don't be down on yourself Claus. Your teammate in WoT will always let you down.
Been watching for years keep showing us noobs hows it's done gg
Claus... What you should do is play light tanks on my team when I have a TD.
Awesome Game Klaus!!!! Some teams..... yes i know :)
That guy Has 5 Premium tanks and is a fresh player tells all you need to know about status of this game
What a bad "it" player Claus.
Great video 💪
The lancen c shot at somua and hit you, you could stayed in the Bush with no trouble. Was just a lucky shot, a mistake to leave Bush as so many does from a unintentionally shot and then dies.
You done great I think
