       Battle Calling Strategy Thread
       By: delp5117 Date: April 11, 2016, 3:11 pm

       Hello,
       Given that we are kicking off the newest set of team practices
       and battles, I thought it might be worthwhile to have a place to
       post links or discuss concepts around battle calling (team tank
       compositions, battle strategies, etc).  Another thread with
       post-mortems from battles against other clans might be really
       useful for breaking down results, providing scouting reports for
       future match-ups, etc?
       To kick things off, I've attached a link from Rocket Brain
       Surgeon on 7/42 battles (5 tier 8 tanks + 2 tier 1's), who has
       done some good tank review articles on WotLabs.  The Tier 1's
       make this a little different from the tier 8 5v5's we fought the
       other night, but some of the general principles are the same
       (what tanks are good to use, flanking strategies - main force
       vs. scouts, back-capping vs. killing, etc).
       Sorry if someone else has already started something like this
       before here or on the companion site...

       The 7/42 was abandoned in favor of the 7/54 and yes, this has
       been discussed/debated/posted before, but +1 for the newbie
       initiative though.

       Thanks Del.  Anything that can help.  I am especially,interested
       in battle field communication and ways for us to improve.

       No problem.  I know I am late to the party, but would like to
       anything I can to help the captains/OFF teams compete and win.
       Are the inter-clan battles set up through the training rooms, as
       well (where they can see your comp)?

       Yes.  We can all see what everyone is bringing to the table.

       Thanks for the link Delp. Had not seen that one and it clarified
       some things for me. I watched the video and when he was on
       Steppes, and pushed in his 13 90 and got hung out. I felt a
       flashback of pain from the same thing happening so many times to
       myself when faced with an over match advantage. Its something we
       have definitely been trying to work on as a clan and have been
       slowly improving on.

       Thanks Delp! As a platoon novice, I got something from that.
       What's old is new to me!

       As CROC pointed out, the format of the battles is dated, but
       some of the core concepts translate generally to organized play.
       
       Before I left for my PC WoT hiatus, there wasn't even a training
       room mode on XBOX, so I'm hopeful that they will give us
       something like Strongholds style "Skirmishes" at some point on
       the horizon (usually 7v7 at tier 6, 10x10 at tier 8, or 15x15 at
       Tier 10).  Instead of having to pay to play in a training room,
       you get base credits +50% and base silver +5 or 10%!
