I know, it's like preaching to the choir.  It's the number 1 or 2 reason why most teams fail...

EDIT:

OMFG, can players really be that stupid?  Oh wait, Free 2 Play?  Yes, they are that stupid...
I would have gone over to that side of map.  Only had 1 scout go that way.  At least more of a heads-up as your team had no clue.  

Sorry for your loss.  But I see this everyday.  Fucking sad...

Some people can't drive tanks and watch the minimap at the same time, and even a lot of those who can choose to hide in a bush the whole match anyways because they're paralyzed with incompetence.

One time, in the map Prokarovka (or whatever) I was in my Type 59 and started to climb the hill on the east.  A T32 starts to follow and leaves the town unattended.  I ping him and pinged the tow, asking for the heavy to go to the town.  His response? "Is this your tank?" One of the most ignorant remarks I've ever heard.

Its undoubtedly number 1. Number 2 are those who don't know what those sirens are for, and why a red bar is crawling across the top of their screen.

wut you talking 'bout? Minimap is for cowardly chumps!! Did Arnold use a minimap when he stormed that island in Commando? Did Rambo use one when he took out half a Soviet division? Hell no! Real tankers charge in blindly and with guns blazing, even if it's at thin air. Planning and all that *TAK-TI-KOL* stuff is for all dem elitist pigdogs.

Sorry, but I try to take a smarter approach than "Arnold-Rambo" style of play.  And yes, I was in US Armored Command.  We had situational review every few hours or once a day.  Even, back in WWII, they had intelligance and local tactical briefings on a daily basis.  Sorry, but your ahm, gung-ho attitude is sad.  It just shows your inability to grasp a "larger" picture of the battle.  And probably goes to shows those same "gung-ho" players have a similar attitude in life.  

I want my filet medium-rare with either an 04 Duckhorn Merlot or 05 Blackbird Cab please.  Thank you, that is all.

Anyway, I think you are joking, your stats show you to be a very competent player.  Even tho you are a proclaimed, WUSSY.  ;)

I believe a lot of the problem is that most players have their mini-map set at the tiny default size.

My wee survey here: http://forum.worldof...5-minimap-size/
Came up with about 50% of players using the default size.

Yep, lots of people driving around like this
