Why can't you take artillery to the platoon. World of tanks will fine players

And so, for starters, for beginners, let's explain what a platoon is in World of Tanks (hereinafter referred to as WoT).
A Platoon in WoT is a team of two or three players who always end up together in the same battle and on the same team. That is, in fact, it is a team within a team.

Pros of playing in a platoon

One of the biggest advantages of playing as a platoon is that you can usually always rely on support from your teammates. That is, you, with your teammates, can, for example, regardless of the actions of your team, or capture the base, thereby bringing a lot of benefits to the whole team and leading it to victory.

How to create a platoon?

For experienced players, playing in a platoon is already quite common, but for players who play WoT for the first time, this can be difficult.
To get started, to create a platoon, you need to open the battle type selection dialog box, which is located at the top of the game interface, under the button "To battle!"

Then, when we have actually created a platoon, we just have to invite the players with whom we want to play (I remind you that their number cannot be more than 2, not counting you).

Ready! We are waiting for the readiness of your teammates and press the button "To battle!"

Competent game by a platoon

As for the competent game with a platoon, then everyone has their own opinion on this matter. In my opinion, first of all, for a competent game in a platoon, one needs literacy and coherence of co-workers. That is, the game in a platoon is not only to ride the whole battle together, sometimes shooting at enemies, it is also competent actions depending on the situation. For example, if on one flank the defense is about to be breached, one of the co-leaders can quickly change location and hold back the enemy forces, while the remaining co-leaders will go behind enemy lines or strike from the flank. But this is just one of options in reality, there will be a large number of them, and in each of them, the platoon players need to assess the situation and, based on this, make decisions about further actions. As a rule, competent and skillful play by a platoon can bring a lot of benefits to the team, thereby bringing victory to the team in a seemingly hopeless situation. Well, in my opinion, and all you need to know about playing a platoon in WoT. Good luck on the battlefield!

In conclusion, we will add a couple of videos from watermakers

Prepared by: KARTMAN1996

Briefly about the main thing. Cut to the gloomy LT 10 review, rate of fire, drums. Art can no longer be played in squads. Yes, yes, the art is so dangerous, it's creepy. It’s not like a platoon of some 3 grills, which, for example, stow an IS-7 in a volley, or 3 batches, which will take apart everything from the drums. Or a platoon of E-25 bugs, which you will notice the hell, but they have already bitten you. Isn't that a problem at all?

Dear players!

On April 7, from 18:45 to 19:10 (UTC), the Public Test servers were unavailable due to the release of a micro-update.

Major changes

Adjustment of the role of light tanks in battle

A number of changes in the micropatch to the second common test should correct the use of light tanks (LT) in battle. LTs will still be excellent scouts with the ability to fire at the enemy. In that order, exploration is the priority and damage is secondary. Important, but not key.

In the LT configuration for the first general test, the value of the baseline survey was excessive. By default, it was enough to conduct effective reconnaissance, which made it possible to "develop" the LT in the direction of causing damage - by installing the appropriate equipment and pumping skills and abilities that increase firepower. Such actions increased the effectiveness of damage dealt by LTs and made them competitive with medium tanks (MTs). Light tanks shone better than medium tanks and dealt almost as good damage. In this regard, it was decided to reduce their review. With the revised characteristics of the LT, the base vision value will not be as effective, and it will have to be improved by installing Coated Optics/Stereo Tube and upgrading the skills and abilities of the crew in order to perform the reconnaissance function as efficiently as possible.

The fire parameters of the LT will also be adjusted: the ability to deal damage remains, but already as a secondary, not a key feature for vehicles of this class. The main task reconnaissance becomes light tanks.

Restriction of playing in a platoon for self-propelled guns

Players actively asked to remove the ability to play in a platoon as part of the rework of the SPG class. Indeed, after the introduction of a new balancer and the ability to unite in a platoon of three players, a situation can often arise when a platoon of three self-propelled guns will be the only vehicles at the top of the list. And three support vehicles cannot be the strongest unit on the battlefield.

In addition, after analyzing various scenarios for the behavior of an SPG platoon in battle, we came to the conclusion that the effect of a platoon of several SPGs on single target too large and extremely negatively perceived by the “target” tank. At the same time, single self-propelled guns, due to the lower level of interaction between themselves, will be able to better control the entire battlefield as a whole, providing uniform assistance to allies in all directions. Therefore, it was decided to disable the ability to create a platoon, both dynamically and in the Angara, with the participation of self-propelled guns.

Since self-propelled guns will not be able to go into battle as part of platoons, personal combat missions for them will also be adjusted: the requirement to go into battle as a platoon has been removed from the conditions.

About all the changes in detail

Gameplay

A ban on taking self-propelled guns to play in a platoon has been included. SPG selection in the platoon window will not be possible. The restriction applies to platoons consisting only of self-propelled guns, as well as self-propelled guns and vehicles of other classes.

The result of the battle depends on each fighter: speed of reaction, a clear understanding of your role and compliance with it in battle - all this and much more brings your team's victory closer. For players in a platoon, responsibility to potential allies for the outcome of a battle begins even before the battle, at the stage of forming a platoon and choosing vehicles. Depending on this, a platoon can either strengthen the team with its coordinated actions, or weaken it with an incorrectly selected composition. Especially if the platoon has vehicles with a significant difference in levels.

Rewards and penalties to experience for platoons based on the results of the battle

With the release of Update 9.15, coordinated tactical actions of players in platoons will be encouraged: members of a formation consisting of vehicles of the same level will receive rewards in the form of a bonus to experience. And platoons with multi-level equipment (the difference between the maximum and minimum tank level is more than 3 ) will receive a penalty to experiencedepending on the magnitude of the difference in the levels of the machines. When trying to go into battle on tanks of different tiers (with a difference of more than 3), players will see a graphical warning about the incorrect selection of vehicles.

The reward based on the results of the battle will be accrued for platoons, which include single-tier tanks. The size of the reward depends on the outcome of the battle (victory or defeat), as well as on the level of equipment in the platoon. D Platoons formed dynamically in battle will receive experience bonuses for playing on the same tier vehicles, starting from the second battle. If a player joins a previously formed platoon right in the battle, he will receive a reward only from the next battle.

Based on the results of the battle, experience penalties for vehicles of different tiers in a platoon are accrued if the difference between the maximum and minimum levels of tanks in the platoon is more than three. The size of the reduction coefficient to experience depends on the difference in levels.

If a third tank joins a platoon with vehicles of different tiers in battle, then only the players who created a platoon of different tiers in the Angara will be fined after the first battle.

A notification about the amount of a reward or a penalty based on the results of a battle in a platoon will be displayed on the third tab of the post-battle statistics.

What is all this for?

The reward for squads with the same vehicle level will serve as an incentive for players to unite and act more effectively in battle. Our goal is to encourage collective action. Especially since for this in the game already exists, and in the future, new improvements are planned: automatic formation of platoons with friends and some other innovations.

Solo players have been and remain the most important part of our game. However, we want to encourage singles to discover a new side of World of Tanks - to try the game in a platoon. After all, coordination and joint actions are exactly what allows participants in virtual battles to develop, and platoons are the most suitable tool for this.

Platoons with vehicles of different levels are a manifestation of unsportsmanlike behavior for which fines are imposed. They will make it clear to inexperienced or irresponsible players that it is necessary to carefully consider the choice of equipment before the battle. T Equipment of the same level makes the platoon a combat-ready tactical unit that will not be a burden on the team.

What's next?

In the future, it is planned to switch to single-level platoons and disable the ability to go into battle in a platoon on vehicles of different levels. This will allow us to rework the team formation systems - matchmaking. Unlike the current one, which forms team templates depending on the state of the queue for battle on the server, the new system will be more focused on the equality of opposing teams in terms of levels and types of vehicles. It is planned that the teams will strive to form according to the 3-5-7 principle: 3 top tier tanks for this battle, 5 mid tier tanks and 7 minimum tier tanks.

Such a formation system will not only solve the problem of team inequality in terms of balance weights, but will also affect the gameplay of random battles, giving the opportunity to realize the potential of the tank in battle, regardless of its position in the list of commands. The new matchmaking will increase the influence of any part of the team's roster (top, middle or minimum levels) on the outcome of the battle.

More detailed information about the new system will be published on the portal later. Follow the news!

We will be looking closely at the statistics and your reactions to Platoon rewards and penalties to further develop this feature. Share your opinion and help us make the game better!

World of Tanks is a team game. Attempts to defeat several opponents alone most often end in failure. Any tank, even the most powerful, needs cover and support. In random battles, it is far from always possible to achieve mutual understanding and clear coordination with allies, so it is much more efficient to create a platoon of proven fighters.

A Platoon is a unit of two or three players who play together. Playing with friends is not only more fun - well-coordinated team play is much more effective.

Platoon Creation: Invite Friends

If you want to play with your friends, then before you go into battle, you should create a platoon. It's very easy in World of Tanks! You can call any of your friends on Xbox Live to join the platoon.

While in the Hangar, press Invite to Platoon(button Back). Select tab Friends and decide who you want to invite. You can choose one or two friends, it is important that they are online.

After you start collecting a platoon, three lines will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. They will fill up when your friends accept the invitation to the platoon. Remember that creating a platoon of tanks of different levels is a bad idea, as the balancer will determine the level of your platoon by the most powerful vehicle.

Improved balancer and interface

Once the platoon leader has selected a tank, the other members of the platoon will only be able to select vehicles that match the commander's choice. Vehicles that are too low or too high will not be available for selection. As a rule, you should choose the highest level tank available.

If you cannot choose the right vehicle, you must purchase a tank of the required level or ask the platoon leader to change his choice. You can get acquainted with the basics of playing in a platoon by watching a training video in the Garage, in the "Training" section.

Team play: stick together

Once you are on the battlefield, you should decide on a strategy. Most of the time, the best tactic is to stick together and take out opponents with focused fire. It is important to remember that every tank has both strengths and weaknesses. Operate in such a way as to use the advantages of your technique and minimize the impact of disadvantages.

For example, when attacking, it is best to launch the most armored tank in front, while others will be able to fire at the enemy, keeping behind a comrade. Another tactic: one tank distracts the enemy, while the rest go around him to hit the flank or rear. If the enemy is alone, he has practically no chance to resist the tanks of your platoon, attacking him from all sides.

In defense, the platoon also has a great advantage. By positioning yourself, distributing lines of defense, and focusing your fire on the most dangerous targets, you can repel an attack from even an outnumbered enemy.

Platoon Power: Focused Fire

Focusing fire is one of the most important advantages of a platoon. Three guns hitting one target can destroy an enemy tank very quickly, sometimes with just one volley.

If your platoon has run into a group of enemies, then the most appropriate tactic is to concentrate fire on one of them. By quickly destroying tanks one after another, you get a much greater advantage than if you evenly distribute damage to opponents.

Don't forget about capturing the base as well. A group of tanks will capture a base much faster than a single tank.

In this article, we have only basic recommendations on playing in a platoon. In fact, World of Tanks provides a huge scope for tactical experiments. Play with friends, hone your team play skills and show the enemy the full power of your platoon!

Platoon is a key feature that players can use World games of tanks. Absolutely every user can create a team of 3 people and go to the battlefield to achieve victory. Whether the player is premium or not, they can always take advantage of this feature.

Yes, at first glance it's cool to have your own platoon in combat, but it's worth a little digging into the nuances of this feature, as it immediately becomes clear that a platoon is another multifunctional system that requires special attention. In this article, we will talk about platoons and discuss the main problems that players face every day when logging into .

Yes, it sounds ridiculous, but about 25% of new players who decide to try the game face this problem. Therefore, especially for them, we explain that in order to create a platoon, you need to open the window of the main functions of the beginning of the battle, which is located under the "To battle" button, and select the "Platoon" tab there. Thus, a special window will open in front of you, where interactions with your platoon will take place. You will be able to recruit a team, dissolve a team, communicate and determine the composition.

How to search for derivatives?

World of Tanks is a multiplayer game where hundreds of thousands of players constantly interact with each other, communicate and fight. Finding a partner will not be easy, the main thing is to write about it in battle, or in the main chat of the game. But it's best to play with your friends, it will be more reliable and more fun than fighting with unknown personalities. To assemble a platoon, you need to find the nickname of the desired player through the search, then add him as a friend, then in the platoon creation window, click the INVITE button and send an invitation to the player you would like to see in your roster. Thus, you can recruit a team and go into battle for victory.

How to play in a platoon?

It is impossible to accurately determine the effectiveness of your platoon, do not forget that the whole game is built on the interactions of 15 players. But here you can put all your potential into battle, the main thing is to have a connection with your co-creators. Third-party voice communication programs such as Skype, Raidcall and others are best suited for this.

As soon as you can communicate with each other, you can decide on the tactics that suit you, the main thing is to take into account your composition of combat vehicles, as well as the capabilities of the players in your platoon. A few trial runs will help you decide on a style of play that will improve in the following battles until you start bringing victory to your team.

The main mistakes of the game in a platoon?

The most common problem throughout the game is an ineffective platoon. One player can bring minuses, but when there are three "" in the team, then the game can be considered already lost. Therefore, it is worth considering some points in advance:

never play with strangers, it’s better if you get to know each other better, skate a few training battles and be able to understand how you interact, you shouldn’t take everyone in a row, there are a lot of players in the game who have absolutely no idea how to play and just practice " nonsense";

pay attention to the statistics of the players, it can describe the basis of the capabilities of the player you want to take to the platoon, in addition, view the information for each and the tank, not the general one;
decide in advance who your commander is, so that there are no disagreements during the battle, if the three of you start making noise during the battle, this will negatively affect your gameplay;
do not take into the team violators of the order, players who play to the detriment of your team, and simply behave inappropriately, despite his professionalism in the game, it is better not to take him;
always interact in the game within your platoon, and then you play for a team, your platoon, this is the most important thing and it will be better for you if the platoon remains until the end of the battle, so you can drag out any situation;
do not scatter around the map, try to stay together so that your platoon is effective, if you are on opposite sides of the map, there will be no sense from your platoon;
remember, your combat flight weighs more than any tank, so get ready for the most difficult and high-level battles. Thus, we have considered the problems of playing in a platoon, although our comments look like advice, you can easily understand what problem we are talking about.

Benefits of playing in a platoon

Always take advantage of the opportunity to create a platoon, as a well-assembled small team can always bring victory. Experiment, sort players and choose the best. And now let's look at what advantages the platoon game has:

fun gameplay with your friends;
a reason to make new friends;
effective game;
exciting fights;
the opportunity to gain experience from experienced players;
the ability to have fun in the game;
constant support of interest in the game (when you play alone, the game will constantly impose negative emotions on you, and this will negatively play on your impression of World of Tanks).

So, we have covered the main points of the platoon game, and now you understand the whole essence of this feature in World of Tanks. Naturally, it has a huge number of different nuances, undisclosed moments and other things. You can learn absolutely everything about platoons only after you begin to actively participate in platoon rides. We wish you a pleasant game and good allies!
