this tank is actually faster with grousers than with turbo:)because of terrain resistances
middle name of this tank is "dont go alone anywhere"
Well played with a complicated tank!
I like the 122 TM. Biggest reason for sure it's the gun for me. I can see how it can missbehave too much for some but the combination of everything besides the DPM it is one of my favorits for sure. The Ammo loadout is a part of that aswell, the good penetration on its standard and HEAT rounds feel very strong in Tier 8, even after years of power creep. The basic ammo just has such nice shell velocity + pen for a medium and the gunhandling does feel good to me.
The equippment variation can be huge for this tank although i think it is mostly one loadout that every different player will choose as their main.
Some random dude in a match told me that he 3-marked it with CVS and (I cant remember, probably Exhaust but I think he wasnt running rammer?).
My last setup was Vents+Rammer+Stabs/Optics. The bounty Vents make a somewhat bigger difference to get you close to the desired 445m viewrange but without a directive you won't reach it without Optics. I played it a lot with Turbo aswell and I can totally see why one would stick with it. The tank is very sluggish. I also like the gun handling so much that I would recommend normal Turbos over experimental ones, since the biggest thing you lose is engine power improvement which is actually very nice and important to feel more like a medium in this tank.
Playstyles can be somewhat like a brawler/heavy if needed but your cupolas are indeed quite easy to hit weakspots, espcially in close quarters.
For more open maps the camo is actually quite decent and I think the long reload/high alpha-dmg combination is a very nice playstyle for many players. Having reloads of 10-15s in stealthy tanks is just very nice. For example when you shoot while being unspotted then retreat and shoot again after ~15s since you got unspotted again. This is not super hard to learn even for players that don't have the highest WN8.
The lack of DPM clearly is it's biggest weakness and there are definitely games where this feels just awfull.
The whole 5-15 Argument isn't that strong though I feel. Many games that are very one-sided woudn't have been so different if you navigated another Tank, right? The ones that aren't 15-5 are the games I play this game for and thus they matter more to me.
I'm not saying there is no benefit from being a tank with a higher rate of fire or beeing more mobile/faster wouldn't be great for the lobbsided games but regarding the 122 TM I just enjoy the "normal" games usually quite a lot in it and the other ones do not matter as much to me (and yes, they are getting closer and closer to being unbarably many...)
Cheers
@@janweissmann4075 where the game would be different in a 15-5 game is that I will be able to dish out a lot more damage due to actually having dpm. Other than that, no the outcome of the game wouldn’t change.
try grousers +rammer+stabs and optics+rammer+stabs on maps where u need viewrange
@@ziginaigra I think I tried grousers but I prefered the turbo because of the increase in max reverse speed.
@@WoTWhirls Totally.
It's also worth pointing out, that one could maybe had made a difference even when the game was 15-5. Afterall the players and their behaviours are quite random. Especially with no skilled based mm. Who knows, mabye if you had gone the other flank and taken that one position the enemies wouldn't have played so agressively on that flank.
Or the opposite, you going on a flank made your teammates think "hey let's push" when they totally do not get when to push and when not to, haha. I have felt that way a fair bit of times. Your actions do influence many players in some way afterall. And as I said, the results can be quite random ;)
This ofcourse is only slightly related to the type of tank you navigate at the time. But it does matter. Just think about how you play differently when your Skorpion G player is actually next to you in a close quarter situation instead of sniping from the back.
Btw, I also think the light tanks need love in this game. It is increadbly hard to learn how to play it even somewhat effectivly and the reward ingame is very underwhelming imo.
Getting rid of CVS on meds would be a start but it might actually be too strong on many maps. Maybe the removal of the vision boost slot for mediums would work enough to push the advantage back enough in favour of lights for spotting. As long as there is no bounty/bonds or different way to improve the CVS stats outside of the vision slot, then the reduction for mediums would be significant. I would probably drop a lot of CVS on many of my meds if they did that. Bourrasque feels unbelivable unfair once you get a good understanding of the game mechanics for example.
If you remove CVS completly from meds it could work aswell but as I said, this might be too much actually. Ballance is a very fine line afterall.
I play mostly for winrate in this game and that is where the value of light tanks can shine. You do not get anything for a lot of information and plays you make regarding XP/credits. This is thus only usefull for your team to use that info and hoepfully perform better beacuse of it. There should be more incentive for playing lights. And a MM where there are never more than 2 on each side ofcourse...well that one won't happen I guess but hey, one can dream ;)
@@janweissmann4075 Yes, I agree. Lights are tricky and the risk to reward ratio is hardly ever worth it. This is why I always tell people to stay alive and emphasize damage and only spot when it’s really going to help the team and be necessary. I think only lights should be allowed to run CVS and I would even go as far as recommending WG reduce the effectiveness of optics and binocs on other vehicles. There are many tanks that can easily get just as much view range as a light by running optics.
your like my new fav youtuber i think im ac learining
I'm just a random guy on TH-cam man but thanks
@@WoTWhirls np
Did that russian line and now have the 430U. Play it correctly, and it's a blast.
I will consider going down the rest of that line.
so 1st 2 games(watching 3rd game now ) auto lose by mm (they got better players)gg wg
1. The dispersion does *not* live up to the stats.
2. 1700 dpm is *crap* for a T8 medium.
3. It's slow AF for a medium tank; power-to-weight looks ok but the terrain resistances SUCK.
4. Armor is ok, but you better have teammates to cover you while you reload because you *will* be taking a lot of hits you can't run from or counter-fire to suppress.
I got suckered into getting one, I should have known better. I have better dpm in my WZ-132.
I put that stupid panda camo on it and stripped everything else off it to use on better tanks. You *have* to be a better player than me to make this *POS* work.
I'm done now. 🤬

i like 122tm😀
