    Overall, it's a great video bro, coming from 9.7 wallet warrior... I don't have a great load of knowledge of top tier but content wise I'd recommend a proper outro, talk a bit about the tank and your overall experience so I know what to expect if I grind it... also the bitrate of the recording felt a little lower than some, if your able to up that a bit, it would help the compression show some more detail.
    Some real potential here though, keep it up!!!! Subbed and hope to see some entertaining WT content!!!

      Thanks, I was trying to record with a new set of settings that I was told was better. But it doesn't seem like it from what I can tell. I did do outros on my other videos but most people tended not to watch to the end on most of my videos so it didn't seem too applicable but I'll start doing outros again I think they are a good thing.

    When I did my own research I found that thing with the turbine is that as short ranges it was a bit louder then the turbo diesel engine... but and longer ranges it was much quieter. The engine puts out a higher frequency sound, but that means it dissipates much faster as you get farther away.

    I got a bit of feedback about your videos; mainly how you speak. A lot of times you'll start sentences strong with not a loud tone, but a higher one that's clear and easy to hear, then gradually lower your own speaking volume to almost a mutter. Sometimes you start off with this near-mutter and continue on from there.
    I would suggest practicing adding some inflection in your voice, make it project a bit better and speaking with a more crisp and clear tone to help what you want said get across louder and more clearly.
    Other than that I liked the video!

    • @VladimirTelinov
      @VladimirTelinov  2 роки тому +3

      I will say Germany is fun in most BRs outside of top tier, maybe it's the way I play them but the Leo 2s have a really boring play style to play them well and German teams in my experience don't do well. That being said if you want to do German. Do Swedish you get Russian and German and some of the best IFVs in the game. If I had to pick between one, I'd say USA for me just because I enjoy CAS and USA has a lot of CAS for most BRs and America for the most part is a pleasant Nation to grind, their tanks have some quirks like the MG port being such a huge weakness on the jumbo, but still, USA is really good. Though I suspect soon Russia will add the T-90M and we'll see how broken that is.

    Here is some advice
    Make your titles more appealing for example "M1A2 SEP - Thoughts 1 month later" (honestly you could easily come up with something better than my example)
    When talking and explaining speak with more confidence, try not to sound like you are reading a script, and any mistakes you say do not keep in, try to do retakes (when you mentioned the AIM you stumbled) Makes you sound like you know what you are talking about
    This is a personal preference, but use footage from multiple different matches as it gives variety
    Make attractive and appealing thumbnails, as more people will want to click on it (do not use images you find off google) It may be difficult when starting out but definitely worth it
    Obviously make your videos in your own particular style, it will make people want to watch and revisit more. If you have a certain style and quirk to your videos that I enjoy I would chose watching you cover the same content over some other war thunder youtuber
    Practice your script, so you do not have to do multiple retakes
    Organize your descriptions for example keep only what's necessary in it, your current description could have worked well as a pinned UA-cam comment, and I most people don't open the description dropdown so they may see what is written more if in a comment. For your description you could have given a quick summary of the video like "In this video I give my thoughts on the M1a2 SEP and current state of top tier one month after its release." Then made a line or two of empty spaced and linked all your socials (Instagram, twitch, etc)
    Honestly considering you size this had really decent production quality. This is all my personal preference so don't take what I say as law. Find what works for you
