Can anyone recommend a good tutor for ground RB on Youtube?

[Square Box]

I want to learn ground RB on youtbe. The best tutor I have encountered for air is Green Fury. If there is anyone as good for ground RB as this guy I would be very pleased to learn from him.

choose one:
phlydaily
odd bawz
nukenus
turny plays
spookston
justgameplay
tankenstein

Spookston and Phly are probably the best, they don't edit their content so much so you only see good games.

Odd just goes and camps enemy spawn every match, you wont learn much from his vids, except how to be toxic.

Tankenstein is a good one too, although he sips a little too much of the gainjin koolaid and blames players for everything.

lmao they are NOT people you learn anything from, lmfao is this a troll response?

OP don't listen to them. Almost no big name content creator will actually "tutor" you.

You won't learn a single thing from people who cherrypick from their preferential content creator matchmaking.

[shipdesignerdude]

Most YTers cherry pick content and don't actually provide insight into their gameplay. If you ever try Air, look at Defyn because he actually goes in depth on the vehicle. For ground, Nukenus might be your best shot, because he gives unedited gameplay which is helpful for positioning/strategy. OddBawz at least says a little about the vehicle in his videos, much more helpful than phly.

I don't think there is a good tutorial about ground gamelay, it's too much random to make a proper tutorial.
But map knowledge is the key here, Spook is maybe the most objective content creator, as "napalmratte" is sometimes too.

While you won't learn advanced tactics from these creators (their channels are for entertainment) you will get to learn what spots on the maps are viable, where to shoot enemies and with what ammo, etc.

Obviously they cherrypick their games because who the heck wants to watch a 15 minute video of someone dying over and over without doing anything interesting.

Defyn and TimsVariety are great for Air. Also Jengar but I don't know if his stuff is relevant anymore; a lot of it is old.

Sadly for ground there's really no one. MAYBE NapalmRatte and HowToPlay1337

OddBawZ at least is a legit s tier unicum. The rest aren't exceptionally skilled but Phly has a massive amount of experience.

That said, you're correct, none of these people are good to learn from. In fact, Odd has even put out a video explaining why this is, in case it's not obvious.

Content creators need to create content. This takes precedence over things like the outcome of a match or how useful they are to their team in general.

Because of this, they're likely to not take a full lineup (usually only one tank and maybe a lone CAS) and they'll almost invariably choose the highest risk/reward pathing on any given map.

If you're a unicum like Odd then things like this won't negatively impact your stats or rp/sl gain but if you're a new player trying to do this stuff then you'll likely end up broke and more than a little frustrated. Even someone as decent as Spookston has much lower stats then he should for his skill level because he spends so much time focusing on content.

Oh please no Youtuber is Unicom (and why are we using WoT slang?).

I have frequently seen big name tubers in my matches over the years get absolutely annihilated, just like the rest of us. By randos.

They're not special. They just know how to create content.

They just choose to show the best of them, always.
Also they are able to play the game way more than others because it's their work mostly. It helps

That, plus a GE stipend, ability to request any tank (not a guarantee but they are alllowed to and frequently get them), and preferential matchmaking. Yes, they absolutely get that, and I will die on that hill.

They serve as free marketing for Gaijin so of course Gaijin will "Help them out" sometimes. Even when they are criticizing Gaijin, it's within the bounds of "acceptable" as long as they keep generating big numbers.

Man they don't get vehicles as gift.... they are given said new vehicles to make review of them.
It make free advertisement for gaijin and it helps them to have exclusive content and attract viewer....
I don't know if they are directly paid for that either even....
Being under a partnership program help them to make money, the more subscriber they have, the more game studios are attracted.

They are under contract surely

Like a lot of the oldtimers around here I jumped ship from WoT when they first added tanks to WT. As did the fellow who set up TS to match XVM's color gradient which is what unicum refers to. Hence, we still use the term here because it's still applicable.

When I say "unicum" I mean it in the technical sense, as in he has a EFF rating over the 77.8% mark in his preferred game mode.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, the vast majority of CC's are much better at creating entertainment than they are at actually playing the game.

I didn't say they get vehicles as gifts. I say they can request them and it's not a guarantee.

They are not directly paid, never said that either.

They DO sign an NDA if part of the partnership program.
