World of Tanks is a Free 2 Play online game published by Wargaming start playing World of Tanks here: bit.ly/NewTanker (affiliate link)
They should just call it WZ 33 since they just randomly put in "33" in most statistic values. Did they ever test this tank?
With this DPM you will lose that HP fast to the enemies enjoyment lol
Wow you are right, I didnt even notice that until I read your comment. It really looks like some kind of mistake.
Lately we got some broken OP prems... they'll never be nerfed, because WG can't afford another Super Pershing situation.
I would rather have premium tanks come out a little weak, then get buffed over time if necessary.
ya its a balanced tank, idk why you want more op hull down tanks
Exactly my reaction after the first 4 minutes! Thought it was a very early April 1st joke...
Low DPM premiums seem like a good way to slow the game down a bit.
The problem is that the broken vehicles are still out there; and Wargaming continues to sell the broken premiums in periodic "flash sales" with overpriced bundles. Introducing balanced premiums only works if the tide of broken vehicles is stopped, and that isn't happening.
@@StarkRaven59 and WG still be selling E25's that have been know to be broken for years xD
@@max199034 I wasn't happy when they first introduced E25.... Then they decided to start selling it again. Fantastic idea - plaguing the entire game with broken TDs, lol. Only gone downhill since then.
@@max199034 yeah people who have the E25 actually know that this tank isn't as op as it used to be. Sure, it's still absolutely awesome when you are top tier, but be honest, how often does this happen nowadays? The majority of times you will play against tier 8s, and against some of those, not even your gold rounds are sufficient enough.
@@StarkRaven59 The main problem is WG's unwillingness to nerf the broken vehicles, or even to buff the under performing premiums AND tech tree tanks.
I miss the days where premiums were not as good as tech tree tanks, mostly due to the fact they were gimmicky.
You should see the HP as a free hardening, and the low DPM as an absent rammer. Therefore, you need rammer. The aim time means you need stabs to maintain the low dispersion after aiming. That leaves one slot, either turbo or vents depending on map.
I'll rather take vert stabs, vents and turbo tbh.
I can tolerate the slow RoF, but that dispersion is infuratingly bad
@@D4rkn3ss2000 you don't need turbo. Why you trying to get into the battle quickly? Going to fight mediums and faster heavies with way better DPM rather than playing on the second line putting in big alpha shots.
@@bullholder is not about getting fast into battle. Is about flexibility to react to situations and overall battlefield mobility
@@D4rkn3ss2000 but 37 kmh and 12 kmh in reverse and horrible p/w wont get you far, no?
I think using rammers on these low dpm tanks is pointless. The small boost in dpm is never gonna make a difference in the situations you play this tank in. Other equip will probably give you the ability to cause more damage overall.
Funny how that huge clock is beside the tank at the end, probably telling you how much time you are going to waste aiming and reloading
My brain read "huge clock" differently at first.
I don't understand why it has more HP than the Type 4 Heavy. It's smaller and lighter. They should buf the Type.
That actually makes sense ngl
B - Balance
Or just nerf the HP on this, no reason it should have this much HP
@@cloud_0_ It would be horrible. It's a brand new tier IX premium after all.
Yeah they should. It used to be one of the funniest tank on the field
First time I’m not convinced of the setup you suggest. I think that rammer, vents and vert stab would suit the tank better
Just because it's slow that doesn't mean you should automatically put a turbo on it. The gun handling as far too awful to even consider it imo.
@@RobboMcjobbo Yep. And I think that 390 m of view rang is fine.
LOL yea his equipment choice is tragic.
@Marek Krajčovič I feel he’s more often right than not. Sometimes turbo is right choice but not with this tank. When you have this armor and kind of gun, you don’t need to be the first at the reach line (and you won’t even if turbo lmao). And you’re right, the tank has alerady a lot of HP so why increase it furthermore?
I feel like QB has been missing the mark when it comes to equipment loadouts quite a bit recently
It's 9 in the morning in Italy, coffe and a new video of QB. Everything is ok.
Sounds really pleasant, greetings from the Americas
@@Unknown_Source sounds very pleasant, i'm pleased, greetings from Australia
Thanks my dear! It's astonishing how internet can connect us from 3 very different part of the globe!
Have a nice Life gentleman!
Qb vids early in the morning make my day
Greetings from Belgium :)
While I can understand the fact that it's a personal choice to put whatever equipment one feels like on a vehicle, I cannot help but feel quite confused on the choice of equipment used in this video.
-Improved Hardening: I can get behind the argument of it, and I think it's a good choice to have, especially for people who wanna boost their durability in the fight a bit more.
-Turbo: I'm not saying that turbo is bad on this thing, but I wouldn't consider it as a priority on this vehicle, especially considering the rest of the vehicle's stats.
-Vents: now this is the thing that baffles me the most, but I wanna get back to vents a bit later.
This vehicle's theme is that it's like a superheavy-ish kind of a tank, with a derpy gun. It's gonna be engaged in slow brawls, most likely frontal engagements, heavy-tank lanes.. I don't think a turbo is gonna revolutionize this, and it ain't gonna be making it a flanker.. or at least that's what i feel like, i haven't played the thing. And secondly.. due to the very derpy gun, slow reload, slow aimtime, bad bloom... you kinda wanna make sure that when you shoot, you hit. You invest a lot in the shot, might as well make it count, right? >_> so why would you give up on Vert Stabs, and even a Gun Rammer?
Which goes back to Vents. vents are an alright equipment, but i think they're a bit overrated, especially is situations like this. What do vents even improve? the overall combat capacity of the tank?
Overall what? it's slow to reload, slow to aim. Vents is only gonna add a very small amount to a very bad value anyway.
And it's not just this tank I've seen him do. There have been other cases where he drops vert stabs for vents, and then wonder why his shots miss.
I mean.. I wanna put it in a different perspective: in an mmorpg with classes, wouldn't it be better to equip an item that caters more to the strengths and weaknesses of the class/role we're playing, instead of having a minor buff to most stats? like... for a warrior tank primarily engaged in soaking damage, some bigger value of block rating and armor item would be far more efficient than a minor strenght/stamina/agility/spirt item. At least that's what I consider.
Not saying that vents are that bad, but I don't think they're worth picking over equipment that give bigger boosts to very specific attributes.
Sorry for the long post, got a bit carried away with thinking about this.
you are 100% correct - vents are good piece of equipment but players need to consider if 5% better at everything is worth being 20% worse at shooting. Sometimes yes, very often not.
I feel like all of qbs frustrations could have been avoided if he used a better set up in terms of equipment. I would personally go v stabs, rammer, turbo. Or maybe v stabs, irm, rammer. Literally any other setup except the one he was running.
v-stab will only do so much, even with bond v-stab you have the worse soft stats of any tier 9 tank, even though they would be stock. Even stocking food, BIA, snap shot etc. it will still have over .20 dispersion on the turret and over 3s aim time.
V-stab is not magic, it will help but even with every crew skill, bond v-stab, directives etc. this thing still has worse gun handling and aim time than almost every other tier 9 tank has stock.
It's awful, it needs 5 equipment slots to be playable.
v stabs, irm, rammer OR v stabs, irm, vents
@@Jules-kp7rw yeah thats my thoughs, you need to get dispersion down, even if it will still be horrible at least it will be workable.
It's a 122 tm's heavy version, that's all. But in a 1:1 comparison it is much like a worse t30 in terms of gun performance and dps but with enhanced armor and survivability.
I felt that 122 comparison at the beginning, but the more I thought about it, the more this design seems flawed to me.
First of all, the strengths of a 122 only work with a medium vehicle. A precise, slow aiming and slow firing gun favors mobility and camo instead of a slow, heavy brawling gameplay.
Second if you play a medium. The enemies will most of the time have a medium more as well, while playing a heavy will give the enemy another heavy as well. This thing does not feature the strength a heavy-tank playstyle requires, considering its low DPM and really bad gun handling on the move and turret traverse handling combined with relatively big weak spots. You basically give the enemy a chance to play a heavy tank that will fill this role much better, meanwhile the 122TM is superb at its supposed role, being a mobile, sneaky and somewhat bouncy sniper that moves for its angles and then deals a really big alpha for a T8 medium only to get back into cover and relocate.
@@mrseryous8122 It's not directly comparable, but I feel that overall result would be similar. This tank would be painful for unicum who usually maximize dpm to be able to get out of any situation and clutch victory with their gun, but random joe would be happy with tank that could hulldown, sidescape, hits a few shots here and there, sustain a lot of damages from enemy even when you do mistakes, and makes credits while doing it. It will have a pretty nice average WR -- not because good players are doing well in it, but because average to bad players are doing okay consistently.
I'd rather play a t30 tho this tank looks painfully bad
Agreed
No. It is T34 a tier higher.
Your gun is the one that's gonna remove the enemy from the game. You should boost your guns performance in any tank aside from light tanks. Armor and hit points are just perks... The gun is more important.
I agree, while the top speed is pretty sluggish, if I ever got one of these (which I won't, screw marathons), I'd definitely throw VStabs, rammer, and then probably IRM, IAU, or even GLD on it. The gun handling is just so abysmal coupled with horrible reload
@@atlashugged2591 that sounds about right. Me, I'll use a turbo, vertical stabilizer and rammer. Or turbo, gld, rammer and the field mod for faster aiming.
But even focusing equiment exclusively on the gun doesn't make it good, not even decent. other equipment can at least make the tank competitive in other areas, but nothing is fixing that gun/gun handling.
@@davidturner7577 yes, probably not good but it'd be better. Idk, maybe just get this tank and not use it seems like a headache to play. Just get a 50tp or e 75.
How about having 2 kind of sets... Killing machine and the Rock
Can't wait to have someone with absolutely no experience using this as my team's top tier heavy sniping from the backline, while the enemy tier 9 heavy will be someone who earned his tier 9 using it to pack pretty much twice the damage and plowing through my team because there is noone able to stop it.
But I also can't wait to encounter this tank with my tier 8 and just farming through it, getting extra bonus for the tier difference.
This tank looks like a T30 without a T30 gun and classified as a heavy. What a shameless display of WG monetization. This is intentionally bad, but wait 1 or 2 years, when we finally get the "Defender-Situation" but with a tier 9 premium...
I will be that guy, except for being useless in the backline I will be useless trying to learn how to be good in heavies. :)
@@nrgmonster863 how stupid you can be
you see 4 seconds of aim time and what you are like : omfg 4 seconds aim time that's pretty good lets CAMP .......................
@@lolofblitz6468 Nah man, what I mean is that I for sure am not going to snipe. I will go fight heavies in close combat, but probably just feed the enemies cuz I dont know how to make my heavies work
@@lolofblitz6468 that is not what he said/meant^^
He is simply making a joke about him being useless, although he specifically won't camp in the backline, but trying to learn how to play a heavy.
But on the other hand, i would say that Aimtime is not the most important thing when playing a sniper, I would say it is about the amount of damage you can inflict from there (reload and alpha, but also accuracy and penetration because a shot missed or bounced is a shot lost from your DPM as well), when camping your dispersion while moving won't come into play and you don't need to move your turret as much as in Frontline combat so the dispersion on moving a turret will be a little less relevant as well.
With that being said I expect to see this thing camping with my TD's quite often, since it is almost the only tier 9 premium you can currently get and if a new player wants to buy a premium he will likely go for the highest tier he can get, resulting in them playing a really tricky frontline tank where they won't have an easy time, so they will rather snipe from behind which this tank is at least able to do with its high shell velocity, penetration and accuracy.
I don't think it should be played that way, but what I am saying is that it might trick unaware tankers into believing it is supposed to be played that way.
thought 100% the same thing
I feel like with these tier IX premium tanks Wargaming is trying to slower down the battles with these slow and slow reloading time vehicles
No they’re selling you bad ones first so they can sell you better ones later
@@rnbpl This guy gets it lol
@@rnbpl that also can be true lol
Introducing "slow" playstyle tanks does nothing to the matchmaking, people will still play their VZ 51, concept 1bs, borrasques, progettos and so on. It will only serve to hinder your team unless the enemy brings a similarly bad vehicle.
I said it somewhere else. They aren't trying to slow down the game when they keep selling all of the broken premiums periodically. They aren't trying to solve the escalating numbers of broken vehicles, they're trying to squeeze money from the player base.
QB;.... how can you even die that quickly with 2600HP?
My Teammates: Hold my Beer!
So basically a 122TM that ate all the noodles 😅 Yeah I’m skipping this grind, real life said ‘no’ 😖
I feel like vert stabs, rotation device and rammer might be the way to go, maybe something with hardening as a secondary.
Please keep in mind that rammer affects the reload time, and with a base reload time that high, the gun rammer is extremely effective at shaving off a few seconds.
HP, Vstab Rammer, or even IAU, Vstab, Rammer is probably your best bet at maximizing both gun handling and reload to be effective.
Please don't waste it on increasing your speed or view range when a premium tank main focus is to make credits, and damage is what will net you the most credits.
Don't be like QB, be better.
Agreed, QB's reliance on the turbo no matter what is detrimental.
v stabs, irm, rammer OR v stabs, irm, vents
is the way
Equipment I would probably use on this tank:
1-Vents.
2-V-Stabs.
3-Improved aiming.
Yes QB be like: horrible dispersion tank, lets put everything but vstabs on it, then missing 50% of the time. I would probably use vstabs and a rotation device.
Improved ajming lol. You need rotation on this. People tend to take improve aiming instead of rotation
Yeah sorry I meant to say rotation but for some reason called it improved aiming lol
@@randomname9949 yes, alot of people confuse those 2:)
You should still probably take Rammer and not vents, you can remove 3.2s of the total reload time by using the full bond rammer and it's directive, which really helps more than a tiny bit better stats here and there that the Vents gives.
Good luck with the grind QB and the others too, don't forget to enjoy the game though.
Thanks You too
Thanks, you too. I think I’ll skip it. I’ll play pokemon 🙂
what ?? enjoy wot ? nice one 😂😂😂 jk
Who is allowed to enjoy the game? You got to be pro , no fun or the insults and nasty messages will have no where to be sent..
On a plus this tank will make a good punch bag so many hp's to farm....
Manager to do 6,5k base xp in 2 hours now. Aiming for 30% discount and then buyout
Feel like with the angle in the sidescrape, it can most likely reverse sidescrape kinda effectively but at the same time its gonna be a tough job to make it actually work
On assault maps, this tank will run out of time before it runs out of ammo. If it fired its gun every time it reloaded from the start to the end of the battle. infact with a bad crew in it, you might not even be able to get Fadins medal.
Unless you use a gunrammer, in which case you can.
you can still take less ammo
bad crew?when you get this tank from marathon you got 100% crew with free BIA.even if you reset the crew skill,BIA still there
QB: Why can't I find a guy like this? (picture of good gun handling stats)
Vert stabs: hi
QB: no
Vert stabs: I'm literally the guy in the pic
My preferred equipment on this tank would be V-Stabs, gun laying drive and either improved hardening for city maps or a turbo for larger maps. I really think you need the gun handling equipment or your dpm will be even worse because of how long you're aiming even after your super long reload.
I think you will need to drp the gld, he has a big trading gun but that dpm is top bad to not play a rammer
@@alekss223 GLD, Rammer, V-stabs. Hardening would be great (maybe drop rammer for it), but the gun is just that bad.
imagine dropping rammer/vstabs for vents and HP bonus.
especially on a ht in t9 with 2.3k hp.
Shhhh! QB wants noobs to use it like this so we can farm more hp and more easily. Its genius really.
Bet you have 46% wr in the game. Your comment makes you look like a tourist.
@@kol3158 yes.i also run t95 with config hardening and turbo,with gasoline medkit and manual fire extinguisher.following the ways of the mastah qb
Yeah
QB : complaining about the lack of dpm the whole video
Also QB : puts improved hardening + turbo + vents
LOL the memes write themselves. Hardening and turbo are so out of place on this tank.
Oh, I have a tank with horrible gun handling and lots of hp...lets put hardening in stead stabs on it. Also Dpm is bad, why not a turbo..yea ... that looks alright.
Thanks for all the thought, preparation and work you put into these videos. You truly spoil us.
"You can't replace DPM" says the guy that had to admit that the 122TM is way better than he initially thought ;)
By the way- did anyone EVER check if more HP means more Repair Cost for a tank?
Because if its based on Lost HP how much you pay, the module may have negative implicaations?
Costs 24.000 to repair.... thats more than some tier 10 heavys... and this is a premium tank..
nah, it's tier based not total hp.
Hey, I would just like to say, that in your second battle when you took twice 900 from the fv, it was partly because of the field mods.
Tank: is slower than 45 kmh
QB: I would use Turbo
it's just the frustration meta wargaming is traying to achieve these days :
Create an OP imprenetrable heavy with high gun depression and then nerf aim time and accuracy until the wr reaches 50%
This way you can be sure it's frustrating for coth sides and you better off fliping a coin rather than actually play to find out who will win the battle
QB pronouncing Charkow the right way was the first time I ever heard somebody do that and tbh it was quite satisfying :D Feels way better like that!
QB: peeks the autoloader and stands there
Also QB: see it's the tank bad loading time lol
It didn’t need 2.3k hp, but it also didn’t need gun handling of a Caliban for E75 alpha/1500dpm. It’s not going to be balanced because the 45%’ers will have all of their mistakes forgiven by rng and hp. Brain dead state is best state to play it in, like after you grind
That spot you were using on erlenberg will be ridiculous with the M-V-Y
AEPhase 1 was not using hardening. 1800 base HP with a little extra from field mods.
QB doesn't even consider what setup would be reasonable for f2p players.
when you are not using food, and have not that great of a crew -your setup options are far more limited.
You forgot to appreciate the fact that it's not an op tank that breaks the game for a premium one none the less
Agreed
The turret of this thing looks almost identical to the obj.120 Taran TD in real life. Obj.120 has like 25mm armor all around. Who came up with the idea of sticking this turret onto a heavy tank hull and make the front 300mm thick. What the actual frick???
LOVE this tank, my average damage in it is 3800 in 15 games. Yes most have been top tier but holy cow. I’m a very gareesive player but this tank slows me and makes me not get singled out which usually happens. Yes, AIM AIM AIM Or you’ll miss
Reminds me of the 112, lots of armor with crappy gun. That being said, under 2k dpm isn't all that bad when you make your shots count. My Manticore has 14 High calibers, i ignored any gun boosting mods and focus on speed and concealment to get into positions to make the shots.
No, this gun has high acc and pen, something the 112 most definitely does not have. Closer to the 110, sadly.
The reload makes it look like a Rinoceronte to play were you get frustrated at the low dpm when you need the quicker reload when your team is falling apart but you cant do anything about it
20 sec reload on 500 alpha on a tier 9? Wow, seems like a 40 hour grind is worth it
"You kind of feel like a spectator", welcome to german tanks normality ;)
You seem to play very different German tanks to me. Leo PTA, Leo 1, E 50, E 50 M, Tiger 2, E 75 and E 100 are all awesome Tanks to play.
I like the paper armour german tank line although those guys do start getting boring and since the gameplay boils down to staying in the back to shoot people or maybe getting up close but accompanied with an ally trade shots.
Do kinda wish the E100 gets 40 km top speed, jg pz E100 some 38km top and for Maus either the historical 22km (although it's only on the 1200 hp engine but ingame it's 1800 hp) or the 25km top speed that WOT Blitz's Maus has
It looks like this tank is a test prototype tank, WG introducing something that will be played different from the meta tanks
It's a mistake sacrificing accuracy for a quicker aim time. This gun is superb in terms of hitting your targets. It hits cupolas like rng doesnt even exist!
if you play this tank with this kind of equipment setup, you'll have around 1500 average damage. Stabilizer is a MUST, I can't emphasize that enough, there is literally no other tank(that I know of) that benefits so much from a stabilizer. get the bond version. also, if you are solo, I'd highly recommend getting a rammer as well, because you'll get gang banged a lot in random battles. If you are in a heavy platoon and confident that you won't get rushed by 5 enemy tanks vs 1, you can get a improved rotation for further stabilizer effect, rotation is a nice bonus on top. 3rd equipment should be a vent or survivability. or enhanced gun laying drive might be useful, haven't tried though.
Seemingly it's balanced!
dont't worry. it's just the beginning. WG will put in some op T9 tank in a year or two.
@@TheTaker88 cant wait for that. Currently WG is testing the tier 9 prem tanks.
It is worse than average. And that would be OK if it made some serious credits as a premium tank should, but it doesn't. So conclusion - it is bad. If the gun handling was like 30% better it would be an acceptable tank.
Well at least it is unique...
@@johnsun3854 it is even now unique but in a bad way LOL
It’s 12am in Southern California and I’m here for it ! Thanks QB
I love how QB keeps acting oblivious that he's part of the problem with how fast matches are going, cause he always pushes for speed and cries any time a slower tank comes out cause god forbid a tank move slower.
Best equipment for this tank, for me, will be vents, turbo(whit mobility slot) and vertical stab. You got mobility and somehow you make your gun a little better
"A module like vents". QB literally every time a tank is released.
qb will put vents and turbo on both fv4005 and leopard 1 lol... dont listen to him when it comes to equipment choices
All those missed shots is why I have invested the modules into improving the gun-handling. Mobility and survivability are fine for a huge armored tank. The hull cheeks are a weak spot if you sidescrape is what I have noticed.
I really think the current game play is more about "effective dpm" which means good alpha dmg, accurate gun, with decent penetration. and believe me this vehicle can snipe! if thats not the "meta" then I guess people are expecting a prem obj 279.
QB- I see a flow in your argument about gun rammer- the improvement you get from exquipment is in percentage. So the slower your reload the more gun rammer gives you! so basically when you add it to a tank with decent dpm you get much smaller difference than in a tank with a weak one. Correct me if I'm wrong :)
There's little use of high dmp is you cannot get it to the enemy. This tank needs more improvements than just the reload. The mobility and gun handling are horrible. With rammer you shave off 1.5 - 2 seconds off reload, and you'll miss with more shells than before.
@@pirig-gal that's a good point :)
you are right, but i guess he's train of thought in this matter is, that even with that buff, the dpm is still so bad, that it is not worth it. i would probably use hardening, turbo and v-stabs on this tank, but i will not, because i am not going to get this tank:)
@@ottrakkaselg8033 usually i see two ways of equipping my tanks- to counter their biggest weakness or to make their biggest strength even better - i usually go for the first one, as it easier/cheaper, and it makes for more versatile vehicles :)
f.ex. i love my Matilda IV with turbo, and Cromwell B with hardening ;)
but i see the point in going other way as well. maybe that's the way for better players who can really use all the differences in tank specs for their advantage.
WG : We just released a new tech tree line !
Also WG the same week : Here comes a new premium tank !
Quickybaby, it is not fair that you're recommending equipment while also using premium consumables and directives to compensate for the equipment you are not using.
Those HE shells were just like a shot from a T92 to my E 100 with 600+ HP damage a couple weeks ago ...
I love how you're using your turbo so effectively in last battle in that corner^^ Yeap... Turbo is unnecessary^^
I would definitely drop the vents for vert stabs on this tank. Vents provide such a minute improvement for any things, but this tank needs better gun handling a lot more than it needs very small improvements in 5 different things.
Not gonna lie I'm wayyyy in the clouds right now, if ya know what I mean. But 7 years of playing this game, and watching this man and others, yet now 14 minutes into this video as I'm out of this world I realize how insanely strategic this game is. You have to know what strategy you need in every tank to do good in every battle. This is the best strategy game ever made; even though I don't think it's lasted as one
Important PSA: This thing has a "boat shaped" lower front hull.
You cannot side scrape in this tank whatsoever, as you will expose a little rectangle of 130mm effective armor right next to the frontal track wheel!
It's how the AE Phase 1 managed to pen QB with the very first shot. Judging by the fact he also go his tracks blown off you can get tracked and penetrated wih a single shot which means sidescraping is off the table. It's also by far the best weakspot for T7s to shoot as it literally has 130mm effective armor at the angle QB was showing his enemies and still only ~170mm if it faces you flat on. It's 80mm of armor thickness and angled like the famous lower hull weakspots on the Ferdinant.
QB drinking game: drink every time he says ‘jackle and hide’
After playing this tank I can confirm it should have just stayed Tier 8 with less hp, alpha and pen. This thing has no right being Tier 9. It's depressing to play
I was re-watching only to relises that you can see the 780 in the part we're quickybaby is showing the HP points and this is 5 months before it was released
tank has good hp, good pen, good armor, slow aim and dps. I will give it a try but until bow king of kings is and always will be e75
I find tanks with higher alpha usually allow me to help the team more than a higher dpm option. I'm not great at taking advantage of DPM.
Welcome back to World of premium tanks :D
I will never understand you qb, talking that if reload time is bad then no point in using a Rammer...
The lower reload you have the smaller boost you will get with a rammer. The longer reload you have the more seconds a rammer will shave off. Its literally the most important thing you can put on a tank with a long reload. If you have 6 sec reload a rammer will remove like half a second. If you put a rammer on a 20sec reload gun it will remove like 2sec.
ofc you put on a damn rammer.
Baotou 617 factory: We had never design this shit tank.
Sorry had to edit after watching all the video. Edit: Nerfing ALL statistics into the ground is one way of balancing a vehicle I guess...
wow QB right on time exact 9 am here in Germany lol
The DPM is so low because WG doesn't want to power creep much yet. I don't expect any of the statistics to change, as they will make far more money creating ever more powerful TIer IX premiums, the same as they have done with Tier VIII's.
The tank was going 40kph but it felt like it was going 25 kph.
Also...I'm definitely rolling out my high-tier SPGs this weekend!
The worst gun handling on the move... And not using VStabs? That seems like lunacy to me. Unlike the Gun Rammer, where lower base DPM means the Rammer gives you a smaller benefit, the exact opposite is the case for VStabs - The worse the gun handling on the move is, the more significantly they're able to improve the value by.
I can see the arguement for the HP buff, but the tank doesn't ever reach the 40 km/h top speed, it's usually driving around 35 km/h instead... Which is the same top speed as without a Turbo. A Turbo, while in theory would allow it to poke more easily for shots, just isn't going to help the tank nearly as much as it would on something with a beefier engine to begin with.
And considering that Vents don't improve your gun handling's soft stats at all, nor do they improve your engine power, they really don't help the tank in the specific areas it needs help in. The only real benefit Vents are giving you that the tank actually needs are the improved aiming time and view range.
I would argue a far more competitive loadout would be to use Hardening in the first slot, and then Improved Rotation Mechanism and VStabs together. The fact that even at point-blank range that a tiny adjustment will send your bloom soaring, improving the gun handling as much as possible will be crucial. If it was just the movement dispersion that was bad, I would stop at just the VStabs, but .33 on turret traverse makes the gun feel unplayable unless you're just sitting still, which isn't realistic in the current meta of the game.
As much as I love Turbos, and put them on as many tanks as I can, this just isn't the tank for it. VStabs hold far too much value, and the Turbo provides far too little benefit on this tank to justify that tradeoff.
No intro, straight to the good stuff, I prefer that
33:46 a clock on floor by the tank cuz it takes hours to reload and aim. Poetic.
the thing is... I actually consider getting this tank for HT-15. Did the T55a one in my AE phase 1, I realised there how much easier it is to do that mission in a tier 9 tank in a non tier 10 match. The WZ-114 just has so much workable armor and HP, especially when facing lower tiers.
The tank frustration is so high it effect your irl performance
Going to be a beast in frontline
Vents is overrated in 2022, you should put vert stab on it instead
I hate the fact that the turret is just a copy of the SU-152 'Taran' (Object 120)'s turret.
Some two tanks, like maybe the WZ-111 5-A and Super Conqueror, sure had a night in the garage. Out came the WZ-114 from that garage some time later.
You can't complain about HE damage when you took a field mod that makes them 20% better against you.
So they do know how to make balanced premium tanks, but they don't balance the game
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Why wouldn't you take Vert Stab? Wouldn't it improve the reticle bloom?
I'm only up to the 9 minute mark, but this is giving me Lowe vibes, from when it was put in the game.
I see a lot of similarities between this and the 122TM at tier 8
Agreed
I heard quicky baby saying this same about 122tm low dpm bad. Now he is rating it op
QB, do ever choose to NOT select a given field mod on a tank? In terms of field mods, more often than not, I don’t feel that many field mod choices are worth making. I think players feel like they have to make a choice, but when selecting field mods your always sacrificing one spec to improve another. For me, I often don feel like it’s a good trade, so matter which option I choose.
Let’s use the Kravagn as an example. The first field mod is Suspension. I can decrease hull traverse speed by 7%, improve my ability to maintain speed when crossing all types of terrain by +7%, and decrease my suspension durability by 10% or I have the option to select the exact opposite of these changes.
For me, I don’t think it’s worth it to decrease my suspension durability by 10% and decrease my hull traverse by 7% just to get 7% better at maintaining speed over all terrain types, nor do I think that it’s worth it to decrease by ability to maintain speed across all terrain by 7%, in order to increase my suspension durability by 10% and increase my hull traverse by 7%.
I feel this same way about most of the field mods. I would estimate that even when I have the XP to unlock all field mods, I don’t like either choice at least 60% of the time.
i exactly like such tanks as not so bad casual, i love different things, this is very different, will drive it and hope they dont change to much
i'll take bad dpm with great gun-handling, like the 122tm, which i love. This thing, i won't even bother at all. Good time for farming out bonds with the referral atm.
This reload and then possible bounces are gonna kill my mood, just from watching this vid I am agonized by the bloom. Gosh this tank is tilting already.
Atleast it has weakpoints unlike some of the overpowered tanks in the game, the weak spot on top of the turret and the lower plate, which is think is great.
Im very excited to get this tank! I love the 122 TM and this is like its heavy brother :D
Exactly
And the turret face is super weak against 340mm HEAT, at 330mm average and 350mm-360mm using -10 gun dep
If I learned anything by playing the Italian TD's, is that these tanks (with high aim time) benefit more from a Gun Laying Drive than from Vert stabs or Improved Rotation Devices.
Also, poor dispersion and aim time means that if you make them faster, they bloom even more so it's questionable if a turbo has any sense on them as you will have to let an even higher aiming circle shrink.
Imagine you peek out quickly only to have to aim for half an hour. What's the point in INCREASING your exposure time with that armor?
I think this tank would work best with a Gun Laying Drive, Ventilation and Vertical Stabiliser. Live with that speed and poor DPM but increase the chance of actually hitting those shots. Trade effectively as you have high HP and 530 damage is higher than on a lot of other guns.
the most frustrating part of game is the rng or missing shots for me and the dispersion of the gun during bloom or moving is so bad i would rage quick, this will be a pass for me. but i do love the upper hull and turret armor + gun depression + standard ammo is great
The 20 second reload is a MAJOR turn off, i usually find myself in the front lines where reloading a shell after a shot needs to be quick
With this in the new updated bondshop worth 11k bonds and with this review I think I need to buy this tank. It looks perfect for a noob like me. Thanks for this review QB
Ive been thinking the same. But the gun seems really bad. Add to it that's Chinese - prone to module damage and it doesn't seem so appealing anymore
I'd equip a rammer as mandatory, that dpm is crippling. Not sure if I'll bother buying this despite having the top Chinese heavies. Also QB decides NOT to take a rammer then moans CONSTANTLY about the slow reload...
