#View range issues

I was testing something on airfield on Wednesday with my friend.
My Falcon T 92 has 512 meters view range and I could only spot him in his Centurion 7/1 at 400 meters.
He only had camo paint on the Centurion, no equipment nor commander.
Is that the case for view range?

Seems about correct

Can you elaborate please

#

If max view range is 445, mine is 512, this means his camo would be reduced by 15%

#

Is my math wrong?

This is not how it works. The camo in meter mentioned in the garage is some base value and only correct when the enemy has 445m viewrange (not quite sure but something like that)

Internally camo is done in fractions of 1. Like 0.37. That's what your 512m viewrange have to calculate with.

See here for the formula

Centurion 7 camo factor while stationary is 11.7% (according to WoT PC official wiki page)
By that math
512 -(512 -50)× 11.7% = 458m
That means I should spot him as soon as he's 445m away

Too lazy to do the reverse math now but ours is better

Now add some skill and camo net and there you go.

He had no commander nor equipment, it was a custom game

Everything looks to be normal and as expected.

445 view range will see the Centurion at 365m

The more you increase your view range, the more you defeat his camo, so that 365m will increase with the more view range you have.

#

Doing the math as you said he has camouflage paint, I'd expect you to spot him at 404.82 meters

Well, that's clarify things.
Thank you, much appreciated.

Can we please get the view range formula?

change the blue one to the appropiate values and get the result in green
