Explaining Mechanics: View Range and Concealment

In battle, it doesn't matter what vehicle you're in. You need to understand two things: how to spot the enemy and how to remain unspotted.

In the previous Explaining Mechanics episodes, we talked about conсealment and view range.

In this episode, we'll delve into the nuances of their interaction and explain in simple words what the concealment and view range in World of Tanks are, and why they are so inextricably linked.

Enjoy!

Good video, but there is some information missing or inaccurate, you can test it in game yourself, cvs DO NOT remove camo of moving lights. It only removes bush camo value. And designated target, and its directive only works when youre aiming to direction of the enemy tank, otherwise it will NOT work. Other then that good video, more like this.

EDIT: WG is correct about CVS removing camo of the light tanks. Youre gaining like 10-30 M distance depends how skilled enemie light crew is.
But WG is not saying full truth about Designated target and you need to aim to enemy direction if you want to spot him for 16S.

3:16 A game of turbo chess begins that ends in 4-5 minutes.

I just watch this older version yesterday and now its back again XD

[zoltantoth]

wow, this is a very professional and good tutorial

[theotakucomrade]

I wish things like binocular telescopes or just shell casings from autoloaders would actually show, that would be so cool, and for binoculars it would actually help to understand how to play against the enemy that's using them

What does the little beep beep circle mean on the mini map? And how come I some times move into range of an enemy, but don't get any spotting assist for it?

[niddhoggloki]

Finally. Took you long enough for this topic

[alekseybabulin]

Maybe you would make top consealment LT some tier 10 and not premium tank?

[ryanbarre]

I remember the days only had one check point, can make a tank disappear behind a light pole.

I have one question: let’s say you are within 15m of a bush and you can see through the bush, but does this bush also provide camo to your enemies? The scenario is this: when I spot an enemy, I wait for him to keep driving until a bush is between us, then I fire, I felt usually this help prevent the enemy from spotting me, but let’s say he is in a bush within 15m to himself, does that bush block his vision(still provide camo to me)? Thanks

I'll be straight with y'all. The thing I wish I knew about but wasn't explained or I didn't see it the first time around. Was the fact that on console RB was a auto-target and the Bottom D-pad was the emergency brake

[AndreaKeil]

I still don't get the increased view range: If it's above 445m, then... "everything above will work as a revealing effect"... What does that actually mean?

[FinLare]

Say I have 445m view range, what's better: +10% optics or commanders vision system?

[carterhicks]

Would be way more cool and realistic if the player could use their eyes to spot enemy tanks when in first person. Don't like that a tank can remain invisible while shooting at me because of a hidden stat! Maybe if you designed more cover and foliage into your maps you wouldn't have to implement this archaic and awful game design component.

[sencze]

Wg speaking always from they want to be realistic.Shooting tank from 100m not spotted out, sell to the U.S army that thechnology.

[LucyFire]

All LT players know these techniques. This clip is for the one who always camping and ask LT spotting for them.

[kagetsuscarlet]

Just need to know USSR have Stalin armor and accuracy, the rest are crap RNG.

[imperialscout]

Hight is partially how you rate viewrange huh? Kranvang players crying because they have less base view range than a 132-1

[ISAIAHJESSARIAS]

how do i change the camera sensitivity
