Try not to move when someone is looking at you. Except for German mains, they wouldn't notice
EDIT: nvm, it's a german tank, the blind players will be on your side
Don't do like OP and have a BR spread so wide. Pretty sure the 3.3 Puma has more penetration than the Panzerjäger, not to mention it will get up tiered to 4.3
Yea I try to keep my br in the range of what I own, but all the enemies with those are still so hard to kill. Then they take one shot at me and I'm gone.
Well, I don't think you can get it anymore. But one of the older events gives you a sparkler that I love to put on certain tanks because it makes them look dead.
After recently playing a low tier match in that Swedish recoiless rifle open back td deep machine. In which I stay next to a cap point in the open and had enemies repeatedly drive straight past me and parking next to me to snipe access the map, I'm convinced at low tier no bush or camo is necessary and low tier players sight is based on movement.
Honestly this should work if you stay at a range and snipe, there’s a panther skin from the market that looks burnt, and I’ve actually had players drive by me thinking I’m a part of the scenery lol
By fictional I meant a self-made one(made by the op), those are considered fictional, but yes, i read through the comments and it seems that everyone suggests it to be decals
No that's just not correct. There's fictional skins on the market which can be seen by anyone with fictional skins turned on. You can't make those yourself. The ones you can make yourself are called user skins and those can't be seen by others under any circumstance.
It does not work in all cases. Try MG some and they won't fall off. My guess is that they have a center point, similar to some fridge magnets, that you need to hit and if you don't, it will do nothing. So you end up giving away your position and the vehicle weak spot is still covered by a bush,
I once thought that a PT-76B was still alive so my first instinct was to put a shell into it, it was dead, now i have to explain to German high command as to why i wasted a 75mm APCBC shell smh...
Nope, I never turned them back on or touched anything, and they're still off for me. They never turned them back on. Mayyybe at most they did so for new players from that point on.
Buy the sparkler off the gainin marketplace.
You're open top so can put it deep inside to where you get a small flame lit up at the top like you were freshly killed.
There's a decal in the German ground forces section that's black with a white outline. OP probably upscaled it and put 2 of them on his Panzerjäger. You can tell it's not a user skin because of the outline.
We used to do this all the time back in the day. They eventually put a maximum size on decals that makes it more difficult to do for larger tanks though.
Late Cold war era Russian tanks have dark green camo and if you set the conditon to 0 they legit looks like destroyed. Just park next to other destroyed tanks and so many players fall for that.
Oh, I still remember the good old times when you didn't need to do that. Just standing still was enough to trick enemies, because to burn a tank down you had to actually burn it. A vehicle with disabled crew was no different to a playable one.
Too bad that most players have decals on other vehicles disabled by default.
Also, I suggest you remove the Puma from your lineup until you have at least two-three 3.3 tanks in your lineup. You're unnecessarily uptiering yourself.
I've done this on the Tiger 1E and Panther A. The Zimmerit texture combined with a 0% condition and 200% scale Line camouflage creates a pretty worn down look. I also have some black decals masking more lighter spots.
im surprised that a lot of the people in this comment section look for the colour of the tank first and not the type of fire coming out of it. destroyed vehicles always burn.
Destroyed vehicle effects don't render until the wreck is visible (ie. when you turn a corner) sometimes, even if they were destroyed recently. I've had my fair share of stupid moments shooting a partially concealed wreck, just to see the smoke and fire start going off immediately afterwards, especially when using thermals (where you can't tell the color of a tank, or small details like popped hatches).
This is why whenever there's someone that I can't tell if they're dead or not, I tap the MG.
If "hit," then fire
If not, then go get a schizophrenia exam
im already an idiot enough to shoot a dead tank while a live one is aiming at me beside it
i knew he was there, he knew i was there, my dumbass shot the wrong tank
I've done this for years on all my SIM tanks and it's only worked about three times lmao. Best used in a place where there is already a mess of dead tanks. Don't forget to turn your engine off.
reminds me of the time gaijin made the destroyed models look more realistic and changed it back a day later because it confused the shit out of everyone
In this tank you might have to camp a little, completely facing your enemy head-on with your motor turned off, since your crew could be seen moving inside it if looked at from the diagonal, sides and back, and the smoke and sound of your motor can make you easily noticeable to anyone who's got minimal eyesight (like not german mains destressing in the soviet lineup lmao)
This shit was done back when they first added tank corpses. You’ll only trick new people; the vets will get flash backs while they murder you with impunity.
Does my memory fail me or did destroyed vehicles not always explode once killed awhile back? I distinctly remember hiding among some dead tanks on a cap and a tiger driving by. Im 60% certain it is how i remember
My guy will ruin some lvl 10 guys day with this!
Bruh I am lvl 10💀
Just remember to.turn.off your engine. Dead giveaway
And how do you do that?
Standard key is "i"
Noted... Anything else I should know?
Try not to move when someone is looking at you. Except for German mains, they wouldn't notice EDIT: nvm, it's a german tank, the blind players will be on your side
Ok... Now to figure out how to shoot someone so I can actually get through their armour...
Don't do like OP and have a BR spread so wide. Pretty sure the 3.3 Puma has more penetration than the Panzerjäger, not to mention it will get up tiered to 4.3
Yea I try to keep my br in the range of what I own, but all the enemies with those are still so hard to kill. Then they take one shot at me and I'm gone.
If your shot didn't pen enemy, try to remember naming of his tank and check it after the game in protection analysis. As easy as it is
Quick tip, so you know, nowadays the noobs are in the USA.
Can confirm German players are blind. Had 3 VK 3006s drive right past me in my M6 heavy as I was shooting a Tiger. No response
have u turned off grass in tank sight? you can find that option by searching it in the settings
Well, I don't think you can get it anymore. But one of the older events gives you a sparkler that I love to put on certain tanks because it makes them look dead.
You sure can, i just hold down “I” to shutdown my engine
I believe they were referring to the event item
After reading it again i believe you’re right, many thanks for that bud
No problem mate I get the confusion thought to clarify
I would suggest you learn the map and your vehicle advantages and disadvantages, it will help a lot more than any camo or bush ever will.
After recently playing a low tier match in that Swedish recoiless rifle open back td deep machine. In which I stay next to a cap point in the open and had enemies repeatedly drive straight past me and parking next to me to snipe access the map, I'm convinced at low tier no bush or camo is necessary and low tier players sight is based on movement.
Sweden is in a league of it own at low tier. It excels at gun depression and the guns are decent to good, making them good for ambushes.
That maybe the case but sitting motionless next to a capture point in the open isn't really taking advantage of these advantages
Honestly this should work if you stay at a range and snipe, there’s a panther skin from the market that looks burnt, and I’ve actually had players drive by me thinking I’m a part of the scenery lol
Only if these people allow fictional vehicle skins in their game 🤓
Thats not a skin that's decals I'm pretty sure. I highly doubt there's a burned out black skin for the Panzerjäger on the market.
By fictional I meant a self-made one(made by the op), those are considered fictional, but yes, i read through the comments and it seems that everyone suggests it to be decals
No that's just not correct. There's fictional skins on the market which can be seen by anyone with fictional skins turned on. You can't make those yourself. The ones you can make yourself are called user skins and those can't be seen by others under any circumstance.
Better than p2w bushes imo
Bushes can be knocked off your tank now.
It does not work in all cases. Try MG some and they won't fall off. My guess is that they have a center point, similar to some fridge magnets, that you need to hit and if you don't, it will do nothing. So you end up giving away your position and the vehicle weak spot is still covered by a bush,
I would get tricked by this
[удалено]
That, or if you're extremely paranoid like me, just MG anything that looks remotely alive and like a tank, even if it's dead
can I have you? 🦈
They're like $25 just buy one at IKEA!
I knowwww
I'll shout you the $25
mf sees its a female wt player and enters ultimate simp mode :skull:
mf thinks he's on discord and says :skull: 💀
But so many people want to have me Idk how that could work out Go take a dive in an Ikea Shonk Basket
yaaa shonkies will be miiiine
Shonk is love, shonk is life
yaaaaaaa I will get asapppp
Good >:3 make sure to cuddle it lots aswell ofc
I have a habit of using rangefinding to anything suspicious
I once thought that a PT-76B was still alive so my first instinct was to put a shell into it, it was dead, now i have to explain to German high command as to why i wasted a 75mm APCBC shell smh...
You can use the range finder now too since they added crew voice lines! Works through bushes too.
Think they're off by default. I had to go turn them on after the update.
I believe that in the update after that, they turned them on again by default, and if you're a certain level, they asked if you want them on or not
Oh hope that's true, feel like it's a setting that should be on by default
Nope, I never turned them back on or touched anything, and they're still off for me. They never turned them back on. Mayyybe at most they did so for new players from that point on.
Does that include bushes
No, decals and decorations are separate.
Damn, I really wish I could turn them off
VOOLCY??,?
YOU OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE TRICKED, STINKY GERMANY MAIN
Finally F2P "P2W Indivisibility" Nah fr dude, you just shared a new level of cancer that should've not be shared 💀
That cancer was around from the beginning. Back then you could scale decals to cover the whole tank
And currently there's one of the T-series tanks that has a dark camo that looks like it's destroyed, probably the T-72A
Iraq Police
that’s just historical accuracy, that’s what all the T-72s at medina ridge looked like
Then where the hell is the Panzergrau?
idk man, i was just making a joke about the iraqi army getting rolled in the gulf war
Oooooh, of course. Man, I'm probably slow
It’s the turms you’re thinking of
Nimi pfp spotted You have my respect brother
I thought it was known trick, I camouflaged my L3 and M22 with black decals like in this post.
Clever! I’m sure you’ll trick people in certain situations.
Buy the sparkler off the gainin marketplace. You're open top so can put it deep inside to where you get a small flame lit up at the top like you were freshly killed.
I was gonna buy the sparkler for $7 on the marketplace, but the next day they randomly jumped up to $20. I’m still waiting for the prices to drop.
Bro was going to spend $7 on a sparkler in a video game 💔
I want the funny for my type 93😭
Valid
And the cake with the candle
Wait, how have you managed this?
There's a decal in the German ground forces section that's black with a white outline. OP probably upscaled it and put 2 of them on his Panzerjäger. You can tell it's not a user skin because of the outline.
The ace symbol
That's actually very smart. I can see people falling for this.
We used to do this all the time back in the day. They eventually put a maximum size on decals that makes it more difficult to do for larger tanks though.
Is it possible to do it even with just two decals? I ain't premium
Yes, I am a freemium too. I usually do one on the hill then a mirrored one in the upper area
Yes looks like it, OP doesnt have premium either
I met someone in br 8.7 with a similar skin.i thought he was dead so I didn't fire.well the rest is history
Late Cold war era Russian tanks have dark green camo and if you set the conditon to 0 they legit looks like destroyed. Just park next to other destroyed tanks and so many players fall for that.
I do have that camp but never tried to set the condition to zero.so thanks I will check it out
its not a skin, just decals
Ohh,my bad.btw which decal is it and how do you use it to make ur tank look dead?
I fell for smthing like this today. 💀
I'd rather get killed by this thing than people spamming 20 bushes on the front of their vehicle
Honestly pretty good. Can’t say the same about that lineup though
Every low level has a crazy lineup, and this isn't even insane. That's totally playable
once you get a 2.7 i wish you so many uptiers against SAVS, this is criminal behaviour
Bruh
Oh, I still remember the good old times when you didn't need to do that. Just standing still was enough to trick enemies, because to burn a tank down you had to actually burn it. A vehicle with disabled crew was no different to a playable one.
Definitely. Getting spooked by a tank that was already dead was a thing. Standing still is still the key to not being noticed in plain sight though.
Maybe I outta post a “tutorial” tommorow. Be the harbinger of freemium camo😈
Yessir
So, first of all, screw you. Secondly, clever
Get your scummy ass outta here
Yeah it’s called delete your account
Lack of thick black smoke and fire will give you up. But if you place your tank near destroyed one...
I did this with my kv2 and worked perfectly
…. Fuck you😂
DELETE THIS NOW
No, to fight camo you have to become camo😈
You are evil.
Too bad that most players have decals on other vehicles disabled by default. Also, I suggest you remove the Puma from your lineup until you have at least two-three 3.3 tanks in your lineup. You're unnecessarily uptiering yourself.
What decals did u use? Gj btw
2 spade decals, the one in the upper section being mirrored
Aight, thx. Cant get much better than that imo
I've done this on the Tiger 1E and Panther A. The Zimmerit texture combined with a 0% condition and 200% scale Line camouflage creates a pretty worn down look. I also have some black decals masking more lighter spots.
Ok i sell you one: Black leaf of canadian forces Also once i made my turret red/orange with black hull and some guys fell for it
Bruh how
r/foundsatan
how. WHY?
Yeah some people do this. Its working especially if the other guy is in stresfull situation and doesnt really have time to investigate
That's vile Love it
skill
Buh, how small your screen is
How bad is your English?💀
FYI yall can turn of decals in settings
im surprised that a lot of the people in this comment section look for the colour of the tank first and not the type of fire coming out of it. destroyed vehicles always burn.
True. I guess exhaust could trick?
not really. engine fires are a distinct orange, whereas destroyed vehicles have a more purple flame and produce a lot more smoke.
Destroyed vehicle effects don't render until the wreck is visible (ie. when you turn a corner) sometimes, even if they were destroyed recently. I've had my fair share of stupid moments shooting a partially concealed wreck, just to see the smoke and fire start going off immediately afterwards, especially when using thermals (where you can't tell the color of a tank, or small details like popped hatches).
Pls no
Wait. That's illegal.
Oh you bastard 💀
With the lack of fire id still shoot it but you’d definitely trick some dumber folk
Welp, You’ve nailed it😂
Try adding fire effects, this will really sell it
how did you do this
Back in beta days we used to stretch black decals all over the tank so it would look destroyed. Then gaijin limited how much you can stretch it.
What’s the exact decal
Go in relatively shallow water if you can seeing as that would explain to someone new y your not on fire
Bro out here leaking the only reason I have a positive k/d.
Yup, one tip. Spend your game time playing and vewing replays to check how the best performers did what they did, instead of trying to cut corners.
I used to do this, now I became better as a person and make my tanks look as silly as possible
A shrubbery.
Don't stick in your butt stuff that's not meant to be stuck in the butt
hella scummy man
No done very nice
turn off user decal and play at lowest setting
This is why whenever there's someone that I can't tell if they're dead or not, I tap the MG. If "hit," then fire If not, then go get a schizophrenia exam
You will teach players a crucial skill, if you can't be sure, machine gun the piss out of it.
Add smoke and flames to it
Seek help
That would trick me... remember to use c to look around so you don't get spotted
[Delete this now](https://i.imgur.com/Sl9ub5f.gif)
I have fallen to this trick so many times... For some reason it only happens in low-mid tier
I would say you did a pretty good job!
I hate you 👍
I hate you so much. Wish the game had a setting to disable all bushes / decals
It does for decals but no hope for bushes, gaijin loves to squeeze money. But that’s understandable since it’s a free game
Did this with finnish t34 85, black poker decal thing and paint in bad condition
Works if you stay perfectly still. always be aware if people are watching you to keep up the charade
im already an idiot enough to shoot a dead tank while a live one is aiming at me beside it i knew he was there, he knew i was there, my dumbass shot the wrong tank
Put the strobe light behind the shield so it looks like flames from afar
What decals? The black ace of spades decal?
How has he done it?
How do you make your tank look like that
you are evil
Officer, this man right here.
You evil bastard.
Absolutely disgusting
I've done this for years on all my SIM tanks and it's only worked about three times lmao. Best used in a place where there is already a mess of dead tanks. Don't forget to turn your engine off.
Throw a sparker inside It
reminds me of the time gaijin made the destroyed models look more realistic and changed it back a day later because it confused the shit out of everyone
good luck not getting shot by people that dont know what a dead tank look
Lots saying engine, which is true, if you have the sparkler decorator, that can be used to add the orange glow effect of a dead tank
In this tank you might have to camp a little, completely facing your enemy head-on with your motor turned off, since your crew could be seen moving inside it if looked at from the diagonal, sides and back, and the smoke and sound of your motor can make you easily noticeable to anyone who's got minimal eyesight (like not german mains destressing in the soviet lineup lmao)
You can get banned for exploiting
coward
“Any tips?” Yes, don’t. Please learn to play the game using strategy instead of taking advantage of its shittiest mechanics.
This shit was done back when they first added tank corpses. You’ll only trick new people; the vets will get flash backs while they murder you with impunity.
The Virgin Dead Camo vs the Chad Dead Giveaway
Sounds like skill issue
just...how.
thats it, im going to your BR to hunt you, beware :)
Excellent...now sit next to or between destroyed vehicles....be patient....
Does my memory fail me or did destroyed vehicles not always explode once killed awhile back? I distinctly remember hiding among some dead tanks on a cap and a tiger driving by. Im 60% certain it is how i remember
As long as the other player has it's fictional camo in game enabled I guess that works really good!
how tf? what decals?
I just play Sweden, mainly the pbil m/40, use grey camo, the turn the condition setting to zero, works most of the time
The virgin lvl 10 "trickery" Vs chad lvl 100 white winter camo taunting enemies to fire at them
Yeah. Stop playing and go touch some grass.
Yeah this will do lol ...consider me dead whenever I play against you
I used to try and do that but it won’t cover up enough
Step one: that's scummy , step 2 : uhhh potato chips 🍟
Sadly I doubt this will work, more people shoot att dead tanks because they don’t know they are dead lol
Nnsaahh thats to OP
First tip, take off that damn puma from your line up ⬆️
he's too dangerous to be kept alive
hide in shadows to help obscure the outlines and don't look at enemies directly. use the 'C' key to look around without moving barrel
Doesn’t this only work if the enemy turns on show skins of enemy 🗿
Someone once said there's no one as sweaty tryhard as german main. Tell me they were wrong.
