Part 2: Explaining Mechanics – Everything About Concealment

The higher this value is The shorter the spotting range will be If a tank is hidden behind Cover the concealment value is considered at its max and you Can spot this vehicle only at 50 meters, Not only buildings, but any Of these objects can serve as cover; They are all. Similarly non-transparent. For the enemy, ’ s vision rays, But keep in mind that Every tank in the game has two view range ports, And seven visibility, checkpoints And all vehicles; Have different dimensions Where you can hide one tank, You might not hide another, It’s clear that opponents spot each Other using the top view range port, which is also A visibility checkpoint, But things can be different.

Let’S take two similar tanks: One is parked in the open field. And the other is behind cover And what do we see The vehicle behind A building is spotted while the tank In the field is not At first sight, it seems absurd. But if you look closer… This vehicle, ’ s vision rays, Hit the non-transparent object and one of its visibility. Checkpoints is Exposed to the enemy, ’ s line of sight So park your tank carefully, Especially when Every second counts When capturing a base: Like this, remember that a crate protects you from Both vision, rays and shells, But canvas won’t hide from either Also all vehicles within a 50-meter Range are spotted automatically, Don’t confuse it with The radius on the minimap, In this case the vehicles Won’T spot each other.

Let’S get back to concealment. You can improve your concealment with the help of bushes Trees and other flora Objects like these, give a bonus. To the concealment value, Small, bushes and plants, without Foliage usually add a smaller bonus, Thick plants with Foliage double the bonus, But what do These numbers mean The answer is simple: they are added To the vehicle concealment value in the formula Of the spotting range – Hey, hey easy there.

Let’S see a specific example, We take an observer tank and three Vehicles with similar concealment, The first vehicle is placed On a clean straight line, the second is hidden Behind a semi-transparent bush and the third one Is covered by a thicker bush, Send our observer Forward and let’s read, The first vehicle is already Spotted at 383 meters, The second Is spotted 100 meters closer And the third becomes Visible only at 183 meters, Let’s check the test results with The help of a formula—yeah that fits, Let’s bring our observer, Back to the starting position and send him forward again, The other tanks remain At their previous positions but they’re moving now, The red vehicle is spotted.

At almost 400 meters, the yellow one at 300 meters, while The green tank is spotted at 200 meters. Let’S insert the value of vehicle Concealment on the move to the formulas And everything fits again And what will happen? If you shoot It’s clear in theory, The bushes Provide great advantage, But what about in practice, Let’s put our observer at the range from where he Spotted the first vehicle and read The thing: is that not only the concealment Of the vehicle itself decreases All flora in a 15-meter Radius from a firing vehicle becomes transparent and doesn’t Provide any bonus to concealment The drop of both values.

Lasts only a split second, but the formulas of calculating The spotting range for all tanks become the same for this time And now, let’s use our head and roll the vehicles. 15 meters, back from the bushes, It’s very easy to do, Switch to sniper mode and roll until The bush becomes opaque And that’s it. You can fire The first vehicle Is spotted just like before To see the second one We’Ll have to move 100 meters closer And the third tank will only Be spotted from 237 meters, It all adds up.

But there’s one nuance: Let’s do another test! Here are two twins: Both have identical. View range and concealment The one stays 15 meters, Away from the bush and the other takes The observer’s place, Let’s go, One vehicle is moving forward. While the other is turning around Both spot, each other At the same time, In other words, when more than 15 meters, away from the bush, it’s similarly Opaque for both vehicles – You can use this If an enemy moves, so that There will be a bush between you, you might want To hold your fire In the first case, you’ll be Spotted right after the shot, But if you just wait a little… There’S a chance to remain undetected And if you want to fire and remain Unspotted for sure do the following: roll to the bush spot: the enemy Roll 15 meters back and then fire, Then again roll forward.

Spot roll back and only then fire Seems inconvenient. At least it’s safe Now it’s time to talk about what Spotting time and visibility time are The first is the time when you Or your ally are spotting the enemy As soon as the enemy Stops being spotted, they remain visible. For about 10 more seconds, So the visibility time is the spotting Time, plus these 10 seconds, Sometimes it’s not enough. The Designated Target perk Can help in this situation It adds two more seconds: To the visibility time of the enemy, The Focus On Target Directive will add two more In total.

It’S 14 seconds, Instead of the standard 10, But it’s not that simple. First of all, this will affect only Those enemy vehicles you spot yourself. Secondly, it will work. Only against opponents who were in the 10-degree Sector of your gun direction at the last moment of spotting. Here’S some advice: if you Play using your allies’ spotting, it’s almost pointless. To improve visibility time, You will still see the enemy for The same 10 seconds and not more If you’ve spotted The enemy vehicle, but it turns round the corner.

Expecting to get off your radar, don’t start looking for A new target right away Against you, their standard calculations, Don’T work as reliably as against others. These four additional seconds are a good For vehicles with a long reload time, Every time you spot the enemy, You have time for one more shot And it’s not a shot to nowhere. But at a certain target, Let’s get back to concealment. The one-bush situation is clear: But what if there are several bushes, It’s very simple: Concealment bonuses; From each bush are added up, But remember that the Maximum value of this sum is 80 For more clarity.

The table shows A number of particular cases Knowing your vehicle concealment, And approximate enemy view range, you can roughly estimate the Distance, you will be spotted from, In other words, if your vehicle Concealment is more than 20, the enemy will be able to spot You through double bushes, at only a 50-meter range Regardless of their view Here, it is A real shooting bush If you find good thick bushes and Want to check their precise number, you know what to do.

Roll to the first bush switch to Sniper mode roll back and count Like this: Now you can fire And fire And fire Repeat until the enemy Comes from your rear…, However, it’s not the end, While the fir trees conceal Tanks about as well as bushes, there’s a thing About other trees, The thing is: every object like this Has an invisible, simplified model, It can be slightly different. From the visual model, but it shields your vehicle From the enemy, ’ s vision, As you can see the models of fir trees, And bushes suit, well for concealment To hide your vehicle behind A tree you’ll have to bring it down.

This is how it looks. Like in the visibility system, A tree that toppled near a bush or Two trees fallen next to each other work like double bushes. You can hide behind palm trees using The same principle, But be careful, You can be immediately hit by a shell From a conservationist, And vice versa, If you see a tree falling Shoot there to test that woodcutter, Sometimes it makes Sense to fell a fir tree, The bonus to Concealment won’t increase, But a fallen fir tree will give you cover.

From the enemy in a greater sector, But no matter how many Fir, trees you bring down and how well you master, the Hiding skill, here’s a simple truth: you won’t be able To sit in bushes all the time, If you want to win more, seize the Moment when you need to advance and go for it, And that’s all for today Share your ideas about The topic of the next episode – and we might tell you Exactly about that,

Everything about Concealment! Part 1. Explaining Mechanics

To remind you about it, Explaining Mechanics Concealment ( part 1 ) Vehicle concealment, Is a heck of a science First off here? ’ s a bit of theory! From our clandestine informer, A vehicle, ’ s, concealment is Affected by its type dimensions, special equipment and consumables, Directives, and—of course—its crew For any vehicle; four concealment; Figures are distinguished First, A static vehicle; Second A static vehicle that fires its gun; Third, A moving vehicle And fourth A moving vehicle that fires its gun, You can check the Characteristics right in the Garage, But what do they mean It? ’ s all quite simple! Really These figures are used.

To calculate the distance at which the vehicle Will be spotted by the enemy, Where fifty Is the constant value that shows the distance Of the so-called x-ray vision, Wow easy Let ’ s. Look at a specific example Say the enemy View range is 450 meters In random battles that ’ s an Average value for Tier X vehicles And here ’ s a Bat.Chat Right from the factory—, without any Concealment improvements, The static tank will be spotted By the enemy at 383 meters, If we move They ’ ll, see us at 400 meters.

Should we fire our gun, the enemy Will detect us at 437 meters And if we shoot, while moving this Distance will increase even further An important note light tanks generally Have an above-average view range while say Soviet Heavy tanks are fairly blind. Don, ’ t try to Remember all the numbers, But knowing at least Estimates can be useful In any battle. You have two simple helpers circles on the minimap And the range finder Using them is no simple.

Task but you can do it Case, 1, Start of the battle. You are driving to a flank An allied light tank detects, an Enemy spotter, You got ta shoot, Yet the distance is dangerously short. As soon as you shoot, you get spotted… A sad but expected demise Case 2. A similar battle. A similar path, But now a blind heavy tank Gets spotted instead of a light tank. Take your time. To aim and score a frag, Even in this case everything Could have been different…, Let ’ s examine it.

From a different angle, If the enemy has a fast tank, it can get somewhere. Between you and your target, You frag the heavy The heavy doesn, ’ t spot you, But the invisible opponent does… That ’ s! Why? Instead of shooting It ’ s, sometimes best to simply stop and wait for the enemy to drive. To a distance that ’ s safe for you In general, use your head BEFORE! A battle starts—analyze, the team roster Think: where will the Most dangerous enemies go As the battle progresses.

Check who hasn ’ t been spotted yet Figure out where they might be, And don ’ t be shy about Checking the popular bushes Allies are under long-range fire. But there ’ s, no enemy nearby. A light tank must be close, Get to A safe spot and check the bushes, The destroyed enemy Is sure to appreciate it See your Sixth Sense triggering Now you really must check that bush, You don, ’ t lose Anything if you miss, But if you hit your prey the sense of Your own greatness will overwhelm you, Let ’ s, get back to the theory You don.

’ t have to be A genius to remember— the tank is concealed most if it Doesn, ’ t move and doesn, ’ t shoot, Turret traverse does Not affect concealment, But as soon as the Vehicle hull moves the concealment factor; Drops significantly For heavy tanks, And SPGs it drops by 50 % for tank destroyers—by 40 % And for medium tanks, it ’ s 25 %. At the same time, Light tanks have a bonus—, their concealment remains the Same whether they are moving or not, But what rule Comes without exceptions, Certain light tanks still lose a quarter.

Of their concealment when moving…, While some Tank destroyers, don, ’ t Top-tier Swedish tank destroyers can Turn and incline the hull in siege mode without any loss of concealment. At the same time, In travel mode, their concealment drops as much As for any other tank destroyer, The LARGEST exception—literally— Is the Japanese behemoth O-Ni? It is equally visible, regardless of Whether it is moving or standing still Hiding, this beast in bushes is as hopeless As hiding a train in a parking lot Now, let ’ s see how These rules work in practice.

Many players believe That if they drive slowly their chance of Getting spotted is lower In reality. It doesn, ’ t matter whether you ’ re going full Throttle or prowling in first gear, You are equally visible for the enemy Because your vehicle is moving, The only difference is the lead. They Need to take when aiming at you If you ’ re, not driving anywhere But the vehicle is sliding off a hill.

Its concealment also drops, Even if you ’ re, not Driving or sliding anywhere… but simply got In the way of an ally, who—in, their innocence—pushes Your vehicle concealment also drops.. And with it Your chances of survival, But let ’ s, get back to the theory Back to the theory. Yes, We didn, ’ t tell you about vehicle. Concealment when you fire your gun By the way, Concealment drops dramatically For light tanks, It ’ s about 4 to 5 times, while for artillery and tank destroyers It can drop by as much as ten times The larger the vehicle.

’ s, dimensions and Gun caliber, the more concealment drops A muzzle brake on the barrel. Increases the concealment drop effect, Important thing here: it ’ s, your Vehicle? ’ s, concealment! That drops not the spotting! Range of your vehicle, But an example Is better than just words? Let ’ s take three SU-152 destroyers Tank destroyers, of course, The crews, the equipment And the consumables are the same: None have any Concealment improvements, The only difference is in the guns, They are the howitzer and two 122-Mm guns—mod, 1937 and 1944.

The latter two have the same: caliber Penetration and average damage The difference is that the Mod 1944 gun has a muzzle brake Now, let ’ s, take the observer tank and see What distance it spots the opponents at The Pershing has A view range of 400 meters – It ’ s enough to spot the first Tank destroyer at 392 meters, the second—three meters closer and the last one— Even closer, but by a meter or so While static all the destroyers Get spotted at 342 meters Conclusion gunfire has a very sharp Negative effect on vehicle concealment, but the effect of a muzzle Brake on it is miniscule, Another thing wounded or stunned.

Crew, don ’ t affect vehicle concealment. At the same time, if a vehicle is on fire, Its concealment drops significantly, In other words, While the vehicle is burning, it ’ s as easy to spot as a bonfire All right. We know How to impair concealment Now to the improvement part, There are a number of means. To increase concealment, The best of them is to max the Concealment skill for the whole crew With it the initial concealment factor, Will increase by approximately 1.

8 times The Brothers in Arms perk Will add to concealment as well and Improved Rations? Or Improved Ventilation will make your vehicle Even more stealthy Directives and improved equipment will Pretty much max out your concealment, But you ’! Ll have To spend Bonds to get them At the same time, The easiest and cheapest method is to mount a Camo Net. And apply a camouflage, The net becomes effective, Three seconds after the vehicle stops, while camouflage Works at all times – And here – ’ s a little lifehack To increase the concealment factor.

You only need to paint the hull Applying a camo to the Turret and gun is just for, looks, Remember the effect Of Camo Net and camouflage is directly dependent. On the vehicle type, If camouflage Is useful in all cases, the Net is a lot more complex since It uses one of your equipment slots Mounting it at the expense. Of a different piece of equipment is only reasonable for tank Destroyers and some light tanks—, if you prefer to hide behind bushes And stand in one spot a lot; Otherwise it ’ s best to use The slot for something more useful Now that we ’ ve pumped up the concealment Of our tank destroyers to the max, let ’ s get back to Minsk.

And conduct another experiment This time all the Destroyers have the same guns: …Shots are fired, And what do we see Concealment Brothers in Arms? Extra Rations Ventilation, Camo Net and camouflage only Give an advantage of 23 meters compared to an absolutely Stock tank destroyer, Improved equipment, And directives add a little extra, but only a couple more meters. So why even bother Improving all this concealment.

., We ’ ve, already told you that concealment Drops drastically when the gun is fired, But what happens? If the gun remains silent, The destroyers are stationary. The tank gets closer and closer, and what do we see? The stock SU gets Spotted at 342 meters, while the pumped-up destroyers are Only found when, within 220 meters Over 120 meters of difference, Along an unobstructed straight line, This results in the opportunity To shoot first cause extra damage have a higher survivability rate.

And get a higher rate of victories, Nothing to think about. Concealment must be improved And remember, Even if you Maxed out the Concealment skill, Even if you hid in bushes And no one, ’ s seeing you, Even if you are sure that in this Spot, no one will EVER spot you…. You still want to make sure That a not-so-smart ally, doesn, ’ t get between You and the enemy… Next time we ’ ll, talk about making a ninja Out of your tank using trees and bushes, If you want to know more Give this article a like and leave your Question in the comments That ’ s all for today Use the game.
