Elephant has had ups and downs. Mainly downs. Germans failed to understand what's better for tanks.. most of them were simply too heavy without capable enough engine to run them. Also tanks like Tiger II struggled with reliability.. well at least with Porsche turret. Henshel Tigers got improved but still during war IT was better to have a lot simple tanks that are mobile and have enough of power in terms of gun. German tanks were costs a lot and most of them got knocked out outside of battle due to technology failures or because of terrain and vehicle's weight. Yes german engineer is more complex and advanced but still its better to have 10 worse tanks than one good that can be easly eliminated by other things than enemy fire. Jagdtiger was perfect example of that.
Give Ferdinand his historically good reverse speed and it would be an entirely different beast. It is ridiculous that Ferdinand has a top reverse speed of 10km/h when it reality (on paper) its electric drive was designed to go as fast backwards as it can go forwards. If you want to buff Ferdinand I'd start there because for casemates faster reverse gear means faster peaking of hill crests and corners and thus less exposure time.
Hello, thats historically not true, Ferndinands max. speed was 20kmh, and because of the weight it was in realitly 10-15kmh :) EDIT: Look into the official tank wiki (not wot wiki)
Map filters on the index page are an incredibly nice feature. Personally, watching Skill's videos has helped me tremendously to improve my own skills in the game!
One of most pleasant tier 8 TDs in game, im on 2nd mark in like 65 games. The gun is definitely a highlight. I recommend boosting its mobility -> vents, turbo, rotation/grousers.
0:00 good morning skill, im super ready lets go! Edit: 7:30 Black Prince, called BossKeilerFan, so he ist mouzakrobat fan :D

When I was grinding this line back in 2020, I loved it as a f2p player. Good pen, nice alpha dmg, has hp, armor if you use it correctly, it was a bit slow tbh, but I made it work somehow. Platooned with my mate, who had the JagdPanther 2
The only advantage it has over the borsig is the fact that you cant pen it with HE and thats insane. Its supposed to be this brawling TD but you can omly play it as a sniper. Might as well plsy the borsig.
Derdi Ferdi will always have a special place in my heart. Got my first real kolobanovs on this tank as well. It’s just pure nostalgia to take him for a spin once in a while.
The Jg Pz e100 was my first tier 10 all those years ago. I bought ferdi thinking it would be fantastic, and immediately regretted my decision. I actually went back to tier 7 to unlock the jg panth 2. So much more nimble and agile it was actually fun.
@@marcellvarga4569 IIRC the modules are shared between many german vehicles from different branches and blueprints can make the grind a lot easier. Jagdtiger is great at tier 9 and the option of Frontline mode is also available to grind those stock tanks
I really love my Ferdi, just wish they would buff the frontal casemate and it would be perfect. It is really good in my opinion. It does take a lot of effort to make work but so rewarding.
@@erikaverink8418 Borsig with the 15cm gun is fun in close combat. Go with your heavies and stay behind them. Wait for the right moment come out of your hole and boom 750 dmg in the enemies face. for moe the smaller gun is better but I think the big gun is way more fun to play also with the big gun you have literally the same penetration as Grille 15 with heat
I realize that this tank is not really good, but it's the only one so far where I get a second MOE and it holds my all-time damage record. Probably says more about me than about the tank, OK.
Penetration nowadays is meh, gun handling is shit, accuracy is fake, mobility has none, camo is zero, armor is meh, viewrange is shit. The vehicle is not competitive. DPM is ok but not near to compensate the problems.
Hands down one of the worst TDs in the game at any tier, from any nation. Mobility is extremely bad and couple with not having a turret, this one's about as flexible as a stick of ice. The armor... this thing can't angle because of the huge hull cheeks that any tier 6 can punch through without giving it much thought. Even without that, the casemate armor of 200mm flat is useless at tier 8. You say that at least the gun is good... yeah, when it hits it's great. The trouble is that the gun tends to misbehave more often than not. I'd much rather stack up blueprints and skip this turd altogether. Cheers!
Ferdinand was, is and prob will always be a steaming pile of sh.. in WoT. It's the worst TD I've ever, ever played in WoT. It's so bad that I simply ended up spending free xp to jump through it.
The tank was meta in 1939/45
No it was bad too....weak engine,slow,easy target for meds and for beasts like SU/ISU-152 and you really not want be hit by 152mm HE:)
@@joe125ful ho, okay, tanks for information

i think that would be a great idea to make ferdi better
Lmao:):)
But iam not sure it help much in history still easy to get side hits and soo big that mighly SU/ISU 152 can punish you.
Actually it is a much more interesting buff idea compared to just buffing its gun/armor/top speed.
A fast reverse is basically what makes or brakes a tank in Wot. The ability to zoom back in cover is invaluable.

Feels like this tank only has armor at 500meters+
I loved that tank back when wot was younger. And the Jagdtiger after it was sooooo fricking awesome. Good old times
one of the WORST stock grinds in the game.
Not exactly. But I would say CS-53 is the worst stock grind.
Agree, it was a terrible grind for me
Until you get the gun. Then it's ok, but still pain.
Jp2 back in the day was worse
WZ120 stock grind...
Need big speed buff and some armor buff.
Since we have TS-5,Turtle and others.
having the superstructure at 250mm will solve the problem since the gun arc of this tank is fairly large it can angle the armor easily
@@onemorebox148 Yes that can be nice and maybe 5-7Km top speed,bit of turning speed and 3km reverse speed.
One of most pleasant tier 8 TDs in game, im on 2nd mark in like 65 games. The gun is definitely a highlight. I recommend boosting its mobility -> vents, turbo, rotation/grousers.
The 2nd MOE requirements are lower than most premium TDs 1st MOE, ~1700 thats like 3 shots and a bit of track/assist haha

Do you know what other tanks you don't have new video for? Tiger II (C) and M4A3E2 Jumbo
Just go for Jadgpanther 2 fellas, way more mobile and trollish sloped armor. Ferdinand has flat armor that gets punished no matter what.
Jagdpanther 2 is better for sure but if someone is grinding jgpz you have to play ferdi
Also fast traverse speed can reverse fast to stick to a wall when got encircle
@@marcellvarga4569 IIRC the modules are shared between many german vehicles from different branches and blueprints can make the grind a lot easier. Jagdtiger is great at tier 9 and the option of Frontline mode is also available to grind those stock tanks
Or Borsig with 52Camo!
JP2 doesn’t lead to JT though.
skieeeeeeell the last video you did for T25/2 was on 2021!!!! GIVE ME BANANNA SKIEEEEEEL!!! 3 YEARS SKIEEEEEEL
We need more T25/2 gameplay!
This tank in stock config is just frustrating
The second match had so much potential for a great game if only for that BZ.
Many such cases.
I really love my Ferdi, just wish they would buff the frontal casemate and it would be perfect. It is really good in my opinion. It does take a lot of effort to make work but so rewarding.
You should definetly play the Jagdpanzer II cuz i think it should be a fun tank to play instead of Ferdi in today meta
Another fantastic and wonderful clip from the amazing Skill 😃👍🏻
People complain about E25 camping? OMG
Gun: Great, so damn good
Armor: Workable
Speed: Gets there when it intends to
The tank was meta back when gold ammo needed gold to shoot. Honestly, I'm glad I had the chance to play it at its maximum potential.
skill4ltu, This is so fun! I'm happy I found your channel!
Edit:Just get Borsig you have same gun better mobility,turret and huge camo.
I like the ferdinand, still need to get a crew in the borsig.
Borsig means camping, and i am not good at camping.
@@erikaverink8418 Ferdi too yes you can bounce few shots but you are huuge and easy target.

anyone remember the Jagdpanther 2 ... I chose that over the Ferdi.
We need a conway video. Check when the last one came out❤️
I realize that this tank is not really good, but it's the only one so far where I get a second MOE and it holds my all-time damage record. Probably says more about me than about the tank, OK.
ferdi is one of me fav tds, i do not care about the community, ill rate it 5* every day of the year(as long as im downtiered[cause fuk gold ammo])
The Dirty Ferdi is one of my favorites! Such a pleasure to play this tank.
For me, the worst stock grind is Challenger. I'm bouncing from everything
Without top gun is pile of kaku, with top gun sadly as well kaku
You are 1st line sniper. Doesnt matter if you get spotted, but do pull back.
Maybe not so good but Skill gave him a nick name ❤
Penetration nowadays is meh, gun handling is shit, accuracy is fake, mobility has none, camo is zero, armor is meh, viewrange is shit. The vehicle is not competitive. DPM is ok but not near to compensate the problems.
TY 🙏🙏
skill always say Ferdinand as dedefied, what is that ?
skill, why do your live moderators censor my comments?
I want to be King Baboon and Ready for my daily dose of skills so I can be a Sniper Schnitzel
Need 30k xp to get the next tier....its taking me already 6 months...the tank is just annoying
Even if you are not playing much a week should be enough to ĝet 30kxp my man
This tank with the first 3 guns is just frustating to play. It's so bad.
Even then, with the top gun the only thing it has is the damage per shot.
Ferdi gets power creeped so bad.
2024? It wasn't good even in 2018!

it depends how you play it
Goldd ammo:Are you sure about that?

It was pretty good a few years ago but WoT has had some pretty silly power creep
