How to Kill a T80-U

In this guide you will learn how flanks work, how to address armor, and how to take out that miserable T80-U

Like I say if you feel that this is too short or too focused you can always make a broader one yourself. All the information presented is accurate.

You're video is still way under 10 minutes. If you addressed things directly and concisely you wouldn't go over ten minutes. That's a feeble argument dude and it has nothing to do with the fact that your guide isn't very useful. All I'm saying is, you need to remake this guide or at least make your future guides more informative. If you like I'd even try to review them for you so you know where to improve and if you've missed anything.

Research shows the average retention rate of someone watching a Youtube video is under 10 minutes. If you actually do a video or guide that takes more than 10 minutes to consume no one watches/reads it. It's unfortunate that this is the way information has to be given... but that's the world we live in.

If this video is about tank positioning why is it not called 'tank positioning'? The only thing you address correctly is the vulnerability of flank armour. The guide is not misleading, but it is not named appropriately for what it explains. Your remarks on applying critical hits are totally useless, they do not explain at all how to actually apply a critical hit in game and therefore the guide is inaccurate. There is no such thing as 'weak points in armour' in the game. The values are constant.

You said this was a noob guide essentially, so why are you referencing 1900+ elo players in your arguement? I am indeed a hardcore player, that does not mean I didn't consider that, of course I did I'm not short sighted (like this guide is...). I was actually put onto this vid by a friend (who was new to wargame at the time) who straight up said your guide was crap. I took a look myself to clarify. As a hardcore player I see the mistakes noobs make and understand what they need to be taught. They need to understand basic game mechanics and be provided with relavent examples. You did this with flanking, but only with flanking. Look if you're gonna make a guide include everything and keep it relavent to the game, we're not here for a history/common sense lesson. If need be, have different sections of the guide titled 'simple tactics' and then 'advanced tactics'.

This video was about the importance of positining in any tank battle and how your flanks will win you the day. It doesn't matter what units you use but at what angles they attack. There is nothing inaccurate in this guide or misleading in this guide. It illustrates tank battles and positoning which is important if you "want to get good" and is something that every single higher level player (1900 ELO+) considers in battles.

You have over 300 hours of gameplay from Wargame: AirLand Battle on record.

That averages over 3 hours a day every day since launch.

That makes you a hardcore player. Did you ever consider for a second that a guide that is simple is not intended for you? Maybe you'd be far more interested in my actual theorycrafting videos like my current series breaking down anti-tank values.

Artillery can be used to stun/panic the vehicle which gives much weaker units a chance. Baiting strong units is a good way to single them out and destroy them with concentrated fire. Infantry will still be effective at close range and ALL UNITS CAN CRIT. A base chance for critting always exists, this chance increases once you get so close that your accuracy is over 100%. Additionally, you address the stats, but only the stupidly obvious ones. Every one knows that T-80 has a shitload of armour. Look at its accuracy however, the gun only has 8. That's a 40% chance to hit at max range, worse than most high end NATO tanks. Yes it does have missiles, however it only has three. Once these are gone it's a lot more vulnerable. Additionally the T-80U only has a medium stabalizer meaning it cannot fight particularly efficiently on the move.

It's a sad day when a comment is more useful than a video guide...

I'm gonna be baltantly honest, this guide isn't very good and is also kinda unecessary. Firstly, if one does not understand the basic mechanics of the game after playing a bit they should really consider either reading a proper guide or not playing the game. The concepts really are quite simple. Secondly, how to kill a tank is ridiculously obvious, if you're going to make a guide at least address the less obvious ways of taking out a tank. Continued...

Really dumb guide.

I thought criticals occur when an attack does at least 50% damage(5 HP) ?
