For learning that is relevant to you I would say 3-4 .It appears you are actually doing well.Well I think so for a beginner ,only time stats are useful to see : ) I only offer any help not because I am brilliant but because I suffered so much early on and with old x box one.I missed some very obvious points.You may not have done so forgive me if I am being patronising here.
I did this terrible map lol .The red is where the enemy will spawn and most likely move,the path they will take.The blue is the path your team will most likely take and the yellow is where better players may snipe from.See how they hide at the sides and look across so they can hit you from the side.It seems very obvious but it is easy to lose focus and position,enemy spawn can also give you a destination.If you are out of ideas then just head there or look there.
In later BR they have very fast vehicles and can get there so much earlier than you might ever expect so you need to be fearful of this as soon as you leave your spawn.If you dont know where to expect snipers then you will learn.
Another thing that helped me was actually think about where the enemy spawn as this gives you an idea of where they may be approaching you from regardless of which path.So I always try if possible in a with good frontal armour to face the enemy spawn and never or rarely turn your side to them.This has served me well and it in many encounters I come face to face with the enemy.This drew badly in pink : ) Just to remind you to face the enemy as a basic principle.This of course don’t not include angling your tank but that is a something else for you to study if you have not already.I am talking about general movement with a tank with good armour or SP gun like the stug ect
You may try to take those yellow positions your self and just wait.Always a gamble because nobody may turn up but for a newer player you become patient and chilled.New players can panic and become excited especially if they went straight into GRB with no Arcade though I see you have done some arcade.
i think this is the main problem for starters.You can try empty maps and study them ,like Cologne or the Rhine map ,they seem like a maze but you can follow a trail of where the enemy will travel.That is the key to getting kills.On those maps dead tanks are excellent cover.
Secondly the way so many get high kills is knowing where to shoot.So suddenly find yourself face to face with a Tiger or KV1. Why take five shots to kill it when you can take one or at least put the gun out so you then have time. You may have seen this already and it really is a valuable lesson.
Third is play a game ,do your best but look at who wins.If a guy with 12 kills and no deaths has won they get the replay up and watch it(note the players name down though so you don’t forget)
I only did this because I suspected people were cheating but I found they weren’t and they were just great players to learn from.
The VK Panther when fully modded is one of those great Ambush weapons to use on the yellow cross positions.Maybe a German version of the M18,Lighter but get to the hiding spot quicker.
Never fire a shot unless you have a good target and don’t fire you MG if you don’t have to.
Learn to turn your engine of when hiding and waiting ,No noise no smoke.
Hope I am not telling you the obvious : ) I am just an expert in getting my backside kicked.
In game stats show I am up from 49% to 53% over a couple of days of just concentrating and not leaving early or messing about.Leaving early is also best avoided if you can. Stay until the end because a bad start can lead to a good game and even if your team are getting hammered you can drop back and pick a few off as they come at you which is often easier than winning and going forward.
The fact the game changes as you go up BR is probably a good thing but is frustrating to start with.
