WoT Guru is a website I personally run on my own and it started as a passion for helping players learn the ins and outs of World of Tanks in 2012.  You can find handcrafted weak spot guides based on effective armor value and countless hours of playtime.  Individual tank guides break down specific tanks based on firepower, armor, mobility, miscellaneous attributes, and in-depth tactics tailored to each tank.  If you need help learning the maps in World of Tanks then map strategies provide a huge tactical advantage over others who do not know the ins and outs of each map.  There are dozens of other helpful guides, articles, and hundreds of videos uploaded to help you learn everything you need to know about World of Tanks.

Reasons to Watch

- I've been playing since 2011 and have a 8,859 World of Tanks Rating. Only padders care about WN8, but if you must know its 2,772 WN8.

- 376 tanks to request from for me to play.  I always take requests every stream, and don't make you tip to request a tank. Seriously why do some streamers do this?

- I stream on Youtube and Twitch.  YouTube is my primary platform and the chat appears on the stream and the stream shop also functions off of YouTube.

- Viewer interaction. I read every message in chat, answer all questions, and usually make a lot of bad jokes.

- Hate watching immature streamers? No worries here.

- Experience.  Not only have I played WoT since 2011 but running WoTGuru.com has meant that I've created over 400+ guides for World of Tanks.

 

Reasons not to Watch

- You don't like the official stream mascot, Levi, my adorable English Springer Spaniel. He's our resident snoring dog during the stream.

- Cursing, trolling, and being a turd is your primary objective.  You'll promptly be muted

Map Strategy:

Map strategies on WoT Guru break down individual maps according to either team into key routes, positions, and tactics to use depending on which flank you are on.  Since maps change often all maps linked here below are up to date, while many more can be found on WoT Guru under "all map strategies" that even has maps previously removed from the game.

Weak Spot Guides

Weak spot guides started WoT Guru in the early days of World of Tanks where learning weak spots was crucial and readily available information about armor schemes wasn't available.  Each weak spot guide is handcrafted based on the tank's model plus personal testing of what works and what doesn't work in actual gameplay.  Armor strength is rated based off of effective armor and several different views are provided for each tank.

+1 for a great site. The stuff you put up, especially the weakspot guides are great.

[neokai]

Omg you are the one that made wotguru? Thank you, thank you, thank you! When I was a noob in a KV-1S facing my first IS-3, your site saved my sanity.

 

A quick question: Are you making more weak-spot guides? Could use with some more weak spot guides.

 

P.S. +111111111111

Thank you for your work 07

Can you post a post on wotguru to verify your forum identity?

[Fruity_Ninja]

lol...such scepticism

[C_Menz]

I am making more weak spots guides most likely early next week.  I've been doing a lot of tank guides and rearranging the website around the make it easier to navigate.  Glad I could help you guys out :) Took me a bit to realize that I should make an account on the asia forum since there is an english section unlike the RU one.

Better than having your ammo rack explode every time someone hits you in that side of the hull/turret.

 

Either way, another weak spot guide is up.

Crewskills exist and are less detrimental to the vehicle. The ammo rack problem can be dealt with via the age old defence of avoiding being shot.
