I used the search function and didn't find any topic on this matter although it seems highly relevant to me. 

 

I struggle with placing proper shots over hilltops when there is grass covering it and feel like many outperform me in that regard. When I'm still moving my crosshair around looking for the highlight, many a good players already shoot me into cupola or mantlet without much trouble. There is also certain corners of buildings and debris that look like they're there while they're actually "transparent" and can be shot through, which is imo badly designed.

 

Tundra mod is known to be illegal when it actually fixes the problem, is WG able to detect when someone uses this or can I assume that there are people out there who are gaining advantage from this? 

And regarding another topic: Do you think it's intelligent that enemies only get highlighted through destructible objects when you aim at them in arcade mode? Cause shooting in arcade mode feels extremely unreliable every time I do it. A little bump in the ground while you're aiming will just make your shot go straight above the point you aimed all of a sudden cause it's less noticeable that the aim changed unlike in sniper mode.

 

If you got some tips on how to perform better around these kind of situations (highlighting through grass, fake objects, and shooting through obstacles) , they would be greatly appreciated. Does it help to play on minimum settings, for example?

I turned off most "eye candies", that aren't directly needed to do battle. It also helps my old compt to run WoT faster. So two birds with one stone.

Turn off grass in sniper mode. Fixed.

 

I think you can do that. Not sure if you have to lower the entire terrain quality slider to do that though. As for tank outlines, yeah thats a bit annoying, especially with so much going on. But its there for a reason, to make sure tanks can actually hide (the outlining feature is already pretty powerful) otherwise it would be either too easy to hit someone, or too hard.

Tundra mode is known to be illegal and widespread. I don`t think WG is doing much about it.

I like to hide in a bush under a camo net and when a girl crew approaches I jump out with my gun rammer and just penetrate and penetrate until my ammo rack is empty.

I'm sure David Attenborough would have made a film about the mating rituals of hamsters if only it would have lasted longer than two minutes.

Saw a thread about some guy who got marooned on a rock outcrop that wasn't rendered .....turning it down too much can have adverse effects lol.

So much wrong. Why am I laughing?

I think you mite benefit from this video of Sir Havocs WoT University Boot Camp series, which is all about peeking over hills

 

 

and maybe one from WoT University tutorial videos Beginner series, The Art of peek a boom...

 

 

Dig out the video on trading shots too if you think it'll help

This brought something back to mind that is completely relevant to the topic (see the bush):

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything you can do with the vegetation in the game I still get 14 potatoes every time I click battle.
