So many new players who wouldn’t notice an enemy even crashing into them or sat in their spawn because they’re not using the minimap.
I see no logical reason whatsoever as to why spotting isn’t in bottom tier? Any explanation?
So many lvl 100 sweats at reserve, they will scout everything and a team will have one guy remaining after 3 seconds

Because most vehicles at that BR are light tanks so IG they think it’ll be too powerful
No lol

yea, but what i notice, with newer players. they might accidentally button smash their entire keyboard, unaware that every key seriously is binded to something. and one of those keys, minimizes your minimap. ive seen it happen plenty enough that newbies reached rank 3 without knowing there was a minimap. i taught people with 100 hours into the game, that it has a minimap.
now imagine the same happening to scouting. they get a new symbol added to their huds. lol, idc what that is, i just play game, hurrdurr.
they might get popups about scouting. i know i still get them from time to time. the game reminding me i can scout. but for some people, that seriously goes over their head. if they unlock scouting at br 1, together with a tutorial mission. like, force new players to go through the tutorials. dont make it an optional.
Sounds like non-gamers to me
What! 😂😭
Yeah
Imagine a game that informs it’s players on it’s game mechanics

I’ve played since Christmas of '24, and only this February did I realize there was a cruise control key for my tanks
yeah it’s real annoying when you want to use light tanks in a historical lineup but then you can’t even scout because it’s rank I
That’s crazy
I’ve played since Jan 2016 and I only found that from your post!!
Well, the more you know!

Because everything is a light tank so it would be spammed too much
lol i found out about CC right away - but I only knew how to turn on cruise control that makes me go backwards until roughly November😭

“No Scouting on Rank I Light Tanks” is a policy, can’t remember when it was implemented but I’m not a fan as it limits some armoured cars and historical airborne/light tanks from being used as such in higher BRs (2.7 and above).
Perhaps rather than removing/not adding the Scouting from Rank I vehicles, Scouting could be disabled in battles of BR 2.3 and below? This would allow Rank I Light Tanks to be brought to 2.7 and above and function as reconnaissance vehicles.

And dont forget, rank 1 light tanks literally contribute nothing when gaijin uptier you to match a 2c Bis with your 20mm 47mm pen gun that carries 10 rounds. Scouting is the only way to deal with uptiers, but gaijin dont want that because player frustration = money.
