how does camo net work?

[Thirsty]

is the -X% camo while moving a negative stat to being spotted easier by enemies or does it make it harder for enemies to see u?

Buff. It means that your tank is harder to detect while moving than without the net.

To use a made up example, say your tank has no camo values, and the enemy has a 250m view range. The enemy will only see you once you come within 250m of them.

But say the camo net increases camo by 10%. That way, the enemy will only see you once you come within 225m of them.

But there’s more values, it’s more complex than that. It just means that you have to come closer to the enemy for them to see you than you would without the camo net.

ah so thats how it works, so its a must have on sniper tds like the russian tds rite?

Well if you are a long range sniper, you will often work beyond view range, then improved view range is better.

If you work closer to the enemy, they will be in your view range normally, then go for the camo net.

Camo net isn’t much help on a front line tank.
It’s best for snipers, like the Nashorn. But if you have a front line TD like the AT 2, it’s probably not worth it.

I'm talking about support tanks, not on the front line or on the map edges, they do their best work when people aren't looking at them. Camo net helps in this case because they see the frontline first and then tunnel vision sets in.

Camo net also help light tanks. Light tanks are the only tank type whose camo doesn't decrease while moving.

Also do keep in mind that your visibility goes up when you shoot, and declines to normal after a few seconds. The affect -of visibility rise- is roughly doubled if you move right after shooting.

The camo net also helps your tank to disappear faster when you run for cover and you know they're aiming at you. (stay still for few seconds) This might help you to relocate without being seen.
