I present http://www.wottactic.tk/blitz.html, a world of tanks blitz strategy planning website. No registration or download required, just press the new room button, copy paste the link to a few friends or clanmates and you're good to start explaining and planning those tactics.

 

I designed it to be fast, smooth and easy to use, But don't take my word for it, go over there and give it a try. And let me you know if you have any suggestions or run into any issues.

 

Example:

 

Want your voice heard, fill in the short survey.

It's awesome! Thanks for doing it!

[Titus_Scato]

WOW! 

 

This is absolutely incredible!  I love it!  When clan wars come out this will be an invaluable online planning tool. 

 

Recommend you mention it in the clan area.

 

Very well done and thank you so much!  You deserve to be a Community Contributor for this.

Kalith, Thank you for taking the time to develop this tool.  It is very much appreciated!

 

One point, when trying to save a Map with annotations it, for some reason, flips the Map dislocating the icons it has been annotated with.  Is this just me?

Can you tell me which browser you are using and the exact steps you take to cause the issue.

Great stuff, Kalith +1 

 

I'll repost this in the german forum, if I may. Of course I'll clarify that it was you that developed this great tool!

[Rebuster85]

very nice tool,+1

 

are there any plans to implement the creation of permanent rooms like for clans, so that everyone can browse trough the stored clan tactics without the creator of the map beeing online?

Never thought about really, it's certainly doable.

 

And sure, repost all you want.

All tactics now remain active for 30 days, which is reset every time someone visits it.

[IrmaBecx]

Hy,

Looks fantastic, great initiative!

[Kalith]

I'm having a really hard time finding an updated Desert Sands image. If there someone here who could help with that, pls get in touch ?

 

 

[Huwie_]

Just seen this. Great work

[Kalith]

A little status update:

 

• I finally got my hands on an updated desert sands map and the upcoming canal map, thx Reluctanttheist.
• Added a little note tool for if you want to write a somewhat lengthier description, together with tactics being persistent I think it's now quite usable to share ideas, even if you can't be online at the same time.
• I've been playing with the layout, colors and outlines a little to give it a little more contrast, tell me if you like it or not.

 

Anyway, tell me if you have any suggestions about what works and doesn't work, especially on tablets or phones. I mostly use the version for wot and mostly on a desktop, I'm sure there are issues I don't know about.

[Kalith]

I spent the weekend updating it a bit.

 

- Added full range color selection (on every browser that supports <input type='color'&gt.

- Added the option to draw dotted lines/curves/shapes/etc.

- Much nicer looking arrows.

- Faster, smoother drawing code.

- Fixed some issues with some (mostly mobile) browsers.

 

I added image and json export of your own tactics. If anyone else wants to support the format, contact me and I'll help you get started. 

 

I've also created a tutorial video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-yl_WNjvwk. It's geared towards WOT and not blitz, but they are very similar. I'm well aware it sucks, I challenge you to do better and I'll redirect them to you.

 

I think it now pretty much has all the features of any similar tools out there that I know of.

 

Next I'll be looking at the maps. They should all be there and should all be up to date. But I want to add caps that are to scale, a toggle-able grid and a consistent color scheme.

 

I'm also still looking for someone to translate it into Russian, if you know anyone who could help me, please let me know.

 

Anyway if you haven't tried it yet, try it now. And If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Hi everyone. I wanted to thank everyone for your trust. wottactic has gone from 2-3k daily visitors to 8-9k daily visitors over the last month.

 

I'm currently gathering some input, so if you have the time, fill in this very short survey.

[Kalith]

First of all, while making some changes I broke a couple of tools on touch devices the last week or so. I'm sorry and It should be fixed now.

 

I've been experimenting a little bit with the interface, you might have noticed the 'try a different ui button'. Give it a try, vote in the poll above. And tell me what you think the ui should look like ? I think the map must remain as big as possible, but other than that I'm very much open to suggestions. 

 

That page is also using pixi v4 instead of pixi v3 for rendering, which is a pretty major update. It brings some performance improvements and works fine on the browsers I tried it on, but if it does anything weird, let me know.
