Peek-a-boom is the informal name given to the practice of using cover to reload, then popping out to fire. Peek-a-boom generally refers to guns that have long reload times with high damage per shot, as seen on the IS tanks. Given the long reload time, it is wise not to brawl with tanks up close unless they are low health and can be eliminated with your next shot.
Peek-a-boom can be done in a number of ways:
- Sidescraping off a building - reverse to clear the edge of the building to fire, then forwards back into the building to reload
- With tanks that have excellent gun depression, you can crest the top of a hill, exposing only your turret, shoot, then reverse behind the hill to reload.
Get to know the reload times of different tanks and guns. Know how much time you have before you reload, or they reload. Keep track of which enemy tank has fired, get your shot in, and then get into cover to reload.
