GG. I'm not sure i would have had the balls to run out in the open in a tier X game. I always play really cautious in my LTTB when i get X. You don't think there was a good chance of being spotted because of their view range?
Why didn't you reload after shooting the T30? Is the clip time really bad?
Wish the WOTLabs camouflage calculator was working to use as an example with numbers.
I know I can be about 350m or so away from enemy tanks without being spotted. That is why I wish the calculator was available to verify that number. Hence why I could go through the open field area. Now if an enemy tank had pulled up to where that JgPz E100 was at and had binoculars, then perhaps I would get spotted. Binos can give "hyper vision" within the 445m view range compared to coated optics.
It did make me nervous, since I had a further spawn away from that location. For me to do my mission, I needed to take that chance. What if the enemy T49 decided to take that bush I parked at too? Which I've done before, same bush, from other starting location in that AMX 13 90. But you really, really, need camo net to not get spotted by the tanks that sit on that little mound at C5 area.
Reload time on that with is about 38 seconds. I didn't reload because I had plans on shooting the 113 and the Patton. 113 died, so I went for Patton, mostly wanting to shoot his tracks, and collect more spotting/tracking damage.

Camo values, so the T49 wouldn't be able to spot me unless I was 316m away and that depends if the T49 had Brothers in Arms, Food, Vents, and Coated Optics. Start taking Food and BiA away it becomes 298m.
