Speaking of lower tiers, I was looking at my tank list and many of the tanks I was playing before I had a scooby how the game worked had terrible win-rates (44% etc) and rubbish crews with stupid skills. So I've been going back, spending the Battle Pass crew books and grinding the likes of the Conenanter, Crusader, etc to 50%+ win rates - and it's been fun. They are so out of meta that a Crusader in a tier 8 match is comically bad, but now that I know the mechanics I've found that you can do something in those matches... and I thinks it's made me a better player...
@@stevewebster5729 I know for sure it's me! I've been focusing on tanks that I SHOULD be 50% at, but just winning 50% now is sooo slow to raise up when starting from so low a win %..
I do have these TDs up through tier 8. My biggest problem with the tank is the tiny gun arc combined with the aim time. Just a little bit to the right and left, and you have to traverse the hull, and the bloom restarts the aiming process. Result, I have shots, and the enemy pulls back before I am aimed in or I miss.
Hey Claus - So, I stood in front of the mirror (mirror, mirror on the wall, etc...) with a calculator in hand and found I was the "proud" possessor of 40,996 800 minutes. If you've been watching the series FALLOUT, I guess that makes me a Ghoul. And as far as snipers "hiding at the back" is concerned that complaint has been going on since the Greek and Roman armies used archers, slingers, and javelin throwers to cut down advancing infantry. Let's go back to a little battle in 1415 at a place called Agincourt, where the smaller English army decisively defeated the larger French army, primarily by the use of a very larger group of about 7,000 longbowmen who rained "cloth-yard" arrows down on the slowly advancing French armored knights and men-at-arms. I'm sure the surviving(*) French noblemen were quite upset that their high position, costly armor, and horses fell to a bunch of peasants armed with long-range weapons, firing from behind barricades of sharpened poles well to the rear and flanks of the main line of attack. Oh, and by surviving(*), it's estimated that 90 to 120 "great lords and baronets" were killed. And according to the heralds, 3,069 knights and squires were killed, while at least 2,600 more corpses were found without coats of arms to identify them. Entire noble families were wiped out in the male line, and in some regions, an entire generation of landed nobility was annihilated. So suck it up all you heavy tank players, history is on the side of all the TD players.
@@dogrudiyosun per Wiki: A javelin is a light spear designed primarily to be thrown, historically as a ranged weapon. The article goes on to say that when the javelin troops were forced into close combat, they could and would use the javelins as spears. But the javelins PRIMARY use was at range.
@@dogrudiyosun (A) OK, how about: "A ranged weapon is any weapon that can engage targets beyond hand-to-hand distance, i.e. at distances greater than the physical reach of the user holding the weapon itself. (B) Observed a javelin contest directly, no, but a lot of people have. The Javelin throw was part of the Ancient Greek Olympics as far back as 708 BC. . In modern Games, the Javelin throw was introduced (for men) in 1908 and in 1932 for women. (C) World Records throws are 98.48 meters (323 ft) for men and 72.28 meters (237 ft) for women. The Olympic records are: 90.75 meters (297 ft) for men and 72.28 meters (237 ft) for women. So - considering the modern men's Olympic javelin measures at most 2.7 meters (8ft-7 in) long that clearly puts the javelin into the Ranged Weapon category.
WG will definitely make adjustments to the Polish TDs when they see they are outperforming Russian TDs, I said yesterday that the Zadymka is not very good but it is okay if you like the gun's alpha and mobility I guess and is probably the only out and out camping sniper in the line, not got the Burza or Gowika yet but they look pretty good to play until inevitable nerfs come
Currently grinding the line....Tiers 5 & 6 were ok, but the Tier 7 that I'm currently on is great in Tier 7 matchups. In Tier 8 & 9 matchups your armor gets shredded.
I don't like the new mechanic, or rather I don't think that it makes any sense. Decrease the damage of a shot based on range. It sounds reasonable, but it completely ignores the purpose of AP-type ammo. Armor piercing rounds are affected by range to the target. That is why WWII cannons were based on the ability to penetrate a Tiger armor at a specified range (I believe it was 1,000 yards). The AP warhead did most of it's damage due to kinetic energy of the round after it penetrated the enemy tank's armor. Either through spalling or through what was left of the round bouncing around the interior of the tank. In my opinion, perhaps they should have decreased penetration at longer ranges, which would have the same effect perhaps, turning the Polish TD's into a brawler style TD instead of a sniper. Lower pen, lower DPS at range.
If you're driving a glass canon TD you have not other choice but to stay hidden in the back and snipe. "Camping" is when tanks with decent armor hide in the back and snipe, as if they were a TD with nor armor. WG just wants all games to be over in a couple of minutes so they make more money on consumables.
I plan on console so can’t get them yet. Yday video was thought provoking. You make good argument that WG introduced this line to encourage brawling and die quicker. I love pierogies! Polish power!
Finished grinding Burza with terrible win rate. However some snapshots I managed to take over long distances made my jaw drop as I have not seen anything similar since 9.16 with tier 9 Patton.
I always laugh when a hit to the turret blows the tracks off. WG, your shit is BROKEN, LOL. Someone needs to tell the guy in the tier 5 to stop lifting his gun right when he fires.
Tier 5-7 are pretty good, no real armor until tier 7. View range is bad, horrid at tier 5. Mobility is pretty good. They're not OP, but they are decent.
Hi again Claus. These 76 yr old eyes see better than you young pups. Wink. Tier 7 tank was aiming for the tank track wheel as the enemy tank was on a hill crest, was trying to track him. Tier tank was smarter in my opinion, you wanted him up on top where he would be more visible and no cover. Down on lower level he had more cover..buildings and etc. And look at his results. 3897 damage and 6 kills. Now I will watch the tier 5 match......watch what you say the old guy is watching and listening......Wink. Good videos....
I just heard Claus give the BEST COMMENT EVER ... "Look in the MIRROR because your never going to get any better LOOKING than you are right now!" I find that to be Ssssooo True. Have a Fantastic Day
Hated the V, like the VI (kept it), VII seems OK, gave up on the VIII and stopped grinding, have the IX and X unlocked (thank you blueprints) and purchased but lightly played. Really would rather spend my time playing other tanks than looking at this line any further.
i kept my t6 and the t8 .. but nthing special about them .. but i hated my t8 .. i was platooned up with my buddy and had a premium round in cause i kept getting in t10 games -- and a stupid elc would be trying to get me... and i hit 3 different ones in the side with 305mm of premium pen .. NOPE critical hit...... but i agree with the pen .. look at any rifle .. if you shoot something farther away it looses its power... only HE and HEAT rounds wouldnt loose their penetration power because they are explosive .. NOT a solid round .........
I think this video was secretly pre recorded at the same time as “yesterday’s” video and the remark about “lots of comments yesterday” was just a ruse. That’s why you do t actually state the title of yesterday’s video, because you hadn’t finalized it yet.
no i wouldnt recomend to grind those tanks becouse 8 out of 10 matches you will be bottom tier and you will be pened like knife through the batter unless you have less than 20k battles
I've not gone down any of the gimmick lines -- no Chinese rocket tanks, no Polish veloco-change-o lines, etc. I understand WG need to add content, that's fine, but it doesn't interest me.
Claus talks about distance effecting damage in these Polish TD reviews but nothing in his videos seems to support his assumptions. Unless that nerf has yet to take place....

I'll grind it I guess as I am a masochist. But close range and no turret is a situation that usually ends back in garage, so I am not in a rush
I find they blow up nicely Claus.
Tier 5 with the 1st gun is the bomb with a 3 perk crew. However, it has paper armor.

"Camping" is when tanks with decent armor hide in the back and snipe, as if they were a TD with nor armor.

How about ammunition with a propellant that accelerate the shell over distant? The further away you are, the higher the impact speed :)
I liked the 28 min. long video. It was exciting.
I plan on console so can’t get them yet.
Yday video was thought provoking. You make good argument that WG introduced this line to encourage brawling and die quicker.
I love pierogies!
Polish power!
I'm not sure. The idea of a relatively fast TD that hits hard sounds interesting but they seem to lack survivability to excel in that role.
Finished grinding Burza with terrible win rate. However some snapshots I managed to take over long distances made my jaw drop as I have not seen anything similar since 9.16 with tier 9 Patton.
Honestly best part of video was last 3 minutes with Yuri and how tier 5 game was lost.
I always laugh when a hit to the turret blows the tracks off. WG, your shit is BROKEN, LOL. Someone needs to tell the guy in the tier 5 to stop lifting his gun right when he fires.
I liked the Tier 7
the only way this mechanic works on a physics level is if the shell is purely kinetic in nature.
Like Sade sang…it’s never as good as the first time! Just like the honeymoon period you were discussing.

2:55 Thats not a glitch, thats wargaming taking over control of tha tank. He was camping to much, they decided he should surge forward and brawl :D
I'd hardly called that camping. He was moving back and forth across that whole ridge line.

And, who thought we needed more TD's!, what next another line or two of ducking arty??!!!
During the Zadymka battle, the player always moves/jerks his target cursor UP when he shoots. It seems on purpose. Does anyone know why he does this?
Best case example game, how many times when you take out your T7 are you top tier :P
Games over last few day on EU have been laggy it’s maybe the Star Trek game loading servers
Sure dude - APs and APCRs are exploding after penetration...
If you play an unrealistic tank game, why not switch off the recoil visual effect when you fire?
I had horrible win and hit rates in this tanks. So i stopped playing them after T7...
I Find the 5 degree turret traverse horrible!! it spoils it for the whole line
you cant brawl with them until you get to at least tier 7
Not all APCR / AP shells explode
no i wouldnt recomend to grind those tanks becouse 8 out of 10 matches you will be bottom tier and you will be pened like knife through the batter unless you have less than 20k battles
