The Subtle Art of Brawling, Part 1 (v1.0)

O7 tankers!  I've had a lot of free time lately so I've made a little infographic for fun.  This is in hopes of helping out some of the newer players in their endeavor to becoming a better player.  If this is received well, I'll be making a bunch more covering various other topics.  Leave some feedback and maybe some ideas I could possibly cover; I'm very open to advise and criticism too, as I'm not a super unicum player or anything.

This was really cool, and it's good to make things humorous. Solid job.

Now if you could just print these out and post them on everyones door.

Surprisingly, I liked it very much!  It was funny and informative, good job!

 

You might want to mention that you can't flank if you don't know where the enemy is......by that I mean that when people say "Imma flank" at the beginning of the match it means absolutely nothing.

Yep, I hate it when people flank at the beginning of the game. Then they get upset when they get screwed because the entire enemy team was in that direction.

There is a certain time to flank; newer players and even some veterans don't really seem to understand that simple truth.

Very nice OP! 
 

I’m with Cletus though - think you can add something about timing and/or seeing where the reds are first? Maybe integrate the lesson with how to read the mini map?

Theyre all great suggestions, Ill make a revision and repost it!

In the end of the document, your TD is on the side/back of the enemy, effectively in their “flank”.

 

 

no need to say that it will confuse the noobs, since they know a td is supposed to go to the bush next to spawn, from which you always see the enemy facing you. So the resulting question a noob will want to ask about your infographics :

 

how do you transpose that spawn and bush so that they suddenly appear behind the enemy line ???

As I stated early on, all fights are situational and these theories and practices wont apply at all times.  Dont see it as a step-by-step instruction, as Im only offering the very basic concepts for any player to take and interpret themselves, and apply them in practice into their own playstyle.  And who knows, there may be players with fast TDs like the E25 and StuG III that might occassionally be catching enemy tanks moving with their sides exposed.

The new version of the infograph can be found in the first post, thanks to everyone for your insight and contribution!

I’m sorry, that was sarcasm.

I most often try to find the correct angle in tds, especially if the are decently manœuvrable, but I know noobs don’t, they find the nearest bush and wait four the heavies to come frontally, and are shocked when the swarm of meds thaïe their backs. 

 

you did a tremendous job, your document is spot on informational and contains the right amount of laughters too. It derives being passed around.

 

good luck ! Thanks for the hard work !
