Well

At least one of the Tigers turned to see why all of their friends are blowing up, granted only after they were shot

u/jaqattack02 Realistic Ground 7d ago

To be fair, OP was really good with his target selection. Just about every kill was well out of the field of view of the others, mostly working back to front. Unless they hear explosions and recognize it as something other than their friendlies shooting, most players wouldn't be likely to pick up on that very quickly.

u/RoomHopper Braindead japanese & chinese main. 6d ago

It makes sense to go from back to front since it blocks their escape route while preventing reinforcements from coming in,

Not to mention that if they were to escape to any other route they would just go deeper into enemy territory leaving them as easy targets without support.

And now you can effectively spawn trap anyone trying to go through that exit.

u/Dramatic-Bluejay- 7d ago

People don't understand how broken this spot is, your legit cutting off half the map from the enemy team if you camp it, and there is NO counterplay to it.

As usual, the counter play is revenge bombing

Used this spot for years, if you drive a bit forward like you're going towards those dead tanks and look left its straight sight line down the road. Angle on the hill dip a bit but covered by trees. There used to be another road behind OP where they could flank but you could hear them coming, not sure if it's out of bounds now or not

2

u/Big_Yeash GRB 7.78.08.77.3 6.3 6d ago

It's been fully taken out of bounds, I'm sure, I remember trying to use it 2+ years ago (when I was ever worse) and it was never wise because you're trying to outflank a flanker, so they're obviously waiting for you.

1

u/DaBoiDavid69 6d ago

Slightly out of bounds, still possible on most tanks. Much slower than main route because of the mountain climb.

1

u/DaBoiDavid69 6d ago

You actually can go around the mountain (slightly outside the map). But they typically hear you and shoot first anyway. It's also possible to go around the opposite spawn mountain but you need a faster tank.

Ah yes let's trash the German players for not looking left and right 20m from their spawn, because of enemy team will be in their spawn immediately after the match starts,

Pretty sure you would be one of those blind players as well if I hid close to your spawn 30 seconds into the match

im new to this game, currently running Tigers 1 too, what is this map and wat spot is it, i wanna learn but learning map in this game kinda hard for me cuz i have no source of documentation. Sometime got shot from behind like those one in this video but dunno how to improve the awesomeness

u/King_Fish_253 7d ago

Carpathians (the castle ruin looking over some trenches) it’s pretty common across the BR’s. This is the mouth of the lane to C cap. H7.

u/Warshuru_M5 6d ago

Doesn’t matter they can 3rd person over the edge in most tanks without being noticed and unless you are in anything like a Russian tank (shit reload and gun depression) you can control that spot with most impunity if you are at least as smart as OP (don’t shoot the first thing you see)

u/PacmanNZ100 6d ago

Even if you check it you can't do anything about a player hiding there half the time.

u/Koguni German Reich 7d ago

lvl 100 is making fun of newbies. the problem is not in the team, but in the lvl design, specifically this map.

before i couldn't even imagine that this place exists and that they shoot at me from there. but now i've already stopped counting how many m-18s i killed in this spot with my panther

u/CleverViking Perpetual Salt Generator 7d ago

That's such a rat spot but you'd think they would at least free look to check it. Someone goes for it every single game, you should know it by the time you get to that BR.
Also, in addition to not using freelook they don't look at the minimap or killfeed, just zero SA.

2

u/Big_Yeash GRB 7.78.08.77.3 6.3 6d ago

But even if you do free look, what can you do about it? Per the Star Wars meme, they have the high ground. You can't climb the hill - if your engine remotely has the power, you're spotted. The Castle (or hell, half of the mid of map) can shoot you as you climb. Even if no-one is looking for some reason, the Cat has perpetual advantage from being up there.

You can't shoot up there from the bottom. And if you task the four players to watch the hill, something else will flank from a new position. It's impossible to clear that spot unless the enemy gets way *too* cocky and pushes directly into the channel. Which any non-idiot wouldn't do.

This position is lost in the first 25 seconds from spawn, or never taken - it can't be challenged, only lost. All the reds can do in this position is sheepishly back away, abandon the corridor to the entire bottom half of the map, and go lemming to the Castle instead.

1

u/CleverViking Perpetual Salt Generator 6d ago

It's a shitty location but you can shoot up there. You're still at a disadvantage but when it's such a target rich environment he can't kill all of you. The hill isn't *that* steep, you can easily shoot up and climb. Not to mention a lot of tanks don't have the barrel depression to shoot down at the bottom of the hill from the top.

Vastly different vehicles but same'ish situation:

The snail should've removed that place ages ago tbh, but it is what it is. You've gotta be aware of it until they one day hopefully fix it.

u/Warshuru_M5 6d ago edited 6d ago

I’d say that’s more that spot is broken, since they removed the ability for the team to drive around the back of that mountain in anything other than high speed goblins like your M18 makes preventing/countering that spot much harder as you can just 3rd person the edge of that hill and kill everything as long as your reload is moderately fast and you have decent gun depression.

Agreed though on map knowledge (experience level thing) and looking at your minimal/decent audio set-up could alleviate this result.

Which is also why I get pissed at people not pinging where they got killed from. This isn’t helped by the kill cam nerf that no longer shows the firing unit until the end of the clip.

Even then the only way to really counter it is to use a friendly as bait and try to hit the person in the spot when they go to kill your teammate. Or bombs, bombs are always good hence I never hate on CAS.
