NOTE:

My 7.2 replays are not working in 7.3 so I took them down.  I have started a new thread for 7.3 replays.

another great game.    well done Taz. I never noticed my gun jump that much when zoomed in and shooting, I have "enable vibration in sniper mode" turned off, would that be the difference?

well played game!

Probably but I've never turned it off so I can't say for sure.

Added Arty Must Die

Just watched the "arty must die" great gameplay, i love the switch up on targets when you were fighting arty/td.You got robbed of Top Gun twice, once from another tank, the second time because the tiger took out your turret. Awesome battle. What equipment are you running Taz?

Also watched "Mountain Dew" you have this tank down to a science dude, well done.

yeah, I REALLY wanted one more shot at the Tiger but oh well.  Did you see me swing my tank to try to get my turret on him?  lol  someone else killed him as I lined him up so I didn't fire.  I'm a big believer in not asking people to give me kills.  Everyone playing is trying to earn credits and XP to advance their tanks and skills so fire at will and let whomever fires first get the kill!

I use Rammer, Vents and Optics as mountables with Small Repair Kit, Small First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguishers as consumables.

Skillwise I have:

CO: Camo, Repair, Sixth Sense, Brothers In Arms and Recon (78%)
Driver: Camo, Repair, Off Road Driving, Brothers in Arms and Clutch Braking (78%)
Gunner: Camo, Repair,  Designated Target, Brothers in Arms and Snap Shot (78%)
Radio Operator: Camo, Repair, Situational Awareness, Brothers in Arms and Signal Boosting (78%)
Loader: Camo, Repair, Safe Stowage, Brothers in Arms and  Adrenaline Rush (78%)

Great, thanks for the info, i was thinking of switching my camo net for the optics, esp with the sale on now.

Hunter AND the Hunted


Good use of terrain and dead tanks as shields along with timely turns keeps me alive in this one.  No medals but a long stretch of adrenaline filled fight once I go for the Arty.

Good Profit, No Kills


It is possible to make money without killing things.  Here is proof.  Scouts - never underestimate the earning potential of spotting for your team mates.

GOOD PROFIT, NO KILLS
This one is for Scout fans, as I don't cause much blood and gore. In fact, I get 0 kills. I DO get 28,000 credits profit. that may not be much for some tanks, but for a VK-2801 it is quite a tidy sum. As I said, this one is for Scout fans. I light up tanks in Prok using Half Court scouting then Active Scouting later on and my team capitalizes on my spotting. I also end up taking 0 damage. For anyone who thinks Scouting = suicide rushes, this is a must see.

I dont offen get scout battles like that for the first half of that battle you only had one person shoot at you. I be drawing fire from all the arty all the tanks and TD hell I be drawing fire from my own arty ((yes been talking out by my own arty befor ). Anyway nice run I like how you keep around the hill it one the first things i learned as a scout to.

Usually by the time they line up and aim a shot, I am back over the hill or out of their line of fire.  Notice I retreat a ways and come back from a different angle a lot.  I try not to crest the ridge in the same spot very often or I will find 4-5 guns aimed right at me when I do.  The other thing is my team is actually shooting at them.  If your team sits there and never fires, they are free to focus on you.  Most Scouts die on this map because they get impatient and go too deep too fast.  Take your time and let your team do their job

This is why I like to watch replasy. I took what I got from watching your replay Good Profit, No Kills. I dont look as good zipping around in my AMX 13/75. But I did ok and even got 2 kills both shoot up bad and I rip a tiger a bit. Anyway have a look let me know if any thing I can do better or if I did ok.

geting better scouting

You did great!  The only thing I would suggest is when you approach the center area on Prok, drive down the top of the ridge lines that run north-south so that as you crest the hill in the center you are traveling at the max speed possible.  If you approach in the valleys then climb up at the end, you lose a few kph.  Speed is your biggest friend in this type of Scouting so always stay as fast as you can.

A Breeze in the Trees


Patience pays off.  Many times, in a VK-2801 Cougar you do best when you don't force the action.  Ninja Scout and wait to see what the map gives you.  But when opportunity presents itself - like both 13 90 reloading at the same time - do not hesitate to take the lead and take the fight to the enemy.

Another great run not as pretty as some of your other butagain seem to have this skill to make people miss it great wish I had that skill lol. Someday I will learn that map but I have had only 5 battles there and only 2 on that side it take some time still. Keep the good replays coming.

What can I say?  I love this little tank!  A medium and I take care of one side of Redshire while our team kicks butt on the other.
