Is there a spotting technique I'm missing?

Don't forget that if you track someone then you'll recieve assisted damage too, I usually do it in my Comet when my platoon focus fires a tank. If you can double bush and do it you shouldn't be spotted.

Also not sure if you know but if you're using a bush as cover, when you look through sniper view and can see the bush then you'll recieve the bushes camo value. But if when you're looking through sniper view and you can't see the bush because you're too close then you do not recieve the camo from the bush. I'm not sure what that value is but when you fire I'm sure it goes down to 15% of that value.

It'll depend on the team line up as well don't forget. 

I think you'll be hard pressed to do more that to be honest, especially with how broken view ranges are in the game. I'm sure that if yourself and a TD are spotting the same tank then you share the assisted damage, so if someone does 1000 damage to a tank your Light and the TD are spotting then you get 500 each. 


I usually rely on tracking assisted damage and any spotting assisted damage is a bonus.  

Good point...I spot just as well or better than my RU when I'm in the Patton 46 or Type 61. Still can't break the 4000 threshold on those two tanks either though. So it sounds like I'm not failing to use an available technique, but rather just not getting it done or stars aren't aligning.
