@@boadyrorvik6220 The Avre existed in real life correct? I mean if this tech is possible in real life it should be good enough for the game.

@@SimSquadGaming Wow... You clearly do not understand the problem. 🙄 They are easy to kill, killing them is not the problem. Did you even watch the video before writing your comment?
Just had one run up on my brand new Panserjager. I was dead before I could even start to turn my gun. If it is going to be such a murderous little gun boat, it should at least get a camo nerf. An even better solution (for me) would be to give it the Lycan treatment and make sure it never sees tier 8.
Bleed through is ridiculous. The fact that I can be in an E3 frontal hull down and this thing can roll a corner and still do 200 damage? It's like fighting a tier 8 that can always pen you, no matter what. I don't think that should be a thing. What if you're about to clutch a game, you've got 10% hp, you're in a heavily armored tank, and this thing rolls up. It's game over. Just unfair
Yeah part of me wonders if this “bleed through” mechanic was somehow missed and is an oversight that may be fixed in the future, or if it was done 100% on purpose to keep the tank from being totally useless against actual armor in some situations.
Bruh this tank is actually game breaking. Everyone complained about the Taran but the Taran can't just erase you before you can react it's actually insane WG put this is WW2. Way to go
Seeing a tank like this being put into WW2 is so incredibly disappointing. I have to agree with the other comments here; it seems like the devs just do not give a fuck what happens with the game at this point. This is the definition of toxic. Like yeah let’s change the waffle so it’s not toxic anymore, but then add more tanks that are even more toxic. I actually want to stop playing this game now. Bleh. But I do appreciate the review sir.
By releasing this tank (and the Wiesel Mk 1 in Era 2), the Devs are basically admitting this game has become unsalvageable. There’s pretty much nothing they could possibly do to save it at this point. They’ve had so, so many opportunities to correct their mistakes over the years and stop catering to the window-licking, mouth-breathing casuals and wallet warriors which have been ruining this playerbase and community since 6.0 and Mercenaries. Now WGCB is trying to profit off of the game’s destruction as much as possible before it eventually and inevitably goes under. At this point, I hope it does. WoT Console is doomed.
Absolutely disgusting. Disgraceful thing to add into the game. They’ve just essentially killed tier 8, 9 and 10 here with one stroke. It’s so badly broken there’s just no point in any of the other tanks it could be matched up with/against. It has absolutely no place in WW2 mode. That bleed through damage and this business about the tracks eating damage is ridiculous too. It’s supposed to be a light… a scout… it’s far far more deadly than any heavy or TD hands down and has the insane ability to remove anything in seconds. All it’s going to do is force people to camp and make sure they don’t get shot in the arse. It brings absolutely nothing positive to the game whatsoever. How is that type of play fun? At all. Trouble is, now it’s here we’re stuck with it!
I'd hate to see this game disappear, so I hope someone realizes the potential of this game and buys controlling interest in the North American division and re-imagines it from tip to bottom.
Console split from PC when they decided to stop following their successful blueprint and instead take a major (and frankly disastrous) risk by implementing the Mercenaries rebrand in May of 2018. Ever since then, it’s been downhill. Even though PC has its own problems, I’d much rather be in their shoes right now. They’re just in a better situation overall. Console is a total and utter joke compared to PC.
This is just pathetic. At some point it feels like they’re intentionally trying to kill the game because the devs are sick of working on it and they want to work on something else
I've watched reviews on this tank seen 6 and 12 of these in one game and it's put me off I'm leaving World of Tanks because they've broken tier 9 and 10
This will be the tank that kills wot for me. I love playing my light and minimally armored medium tanks. Thats mostly all i play in ww2. At this point im not sure i will ever start the game again. Time to say goodbye.
@@badczech8485 especially tanks with giant spiders. unless they really used in one in a war and was historically accurate. it throws me off when its says WW2 and there is space ships.

It's broken at the moment. Petty, comment if I'm wrong but I do understand that this and the CW tank witj minigun will damage enemy, even if they don't penetrate the enemy armor. So you can dump you clip in to enemy Type 5 Heavy and deal some dmg (192-300 dmg with a single clip).
I didn't mean that it's a bug, I just wanted confirmation if it's really true... And after fully watching tjis Petty's video, I now know it really is... that's just horrible for the game balance😢😮@@Sammael66685
That practically makes armor irrelevant... Sounds awful, unbalanced and broken 😖 I wish they'd remove this mechanism entirely... It's really bad for the game. @@Petty360
What's even more toxic about this tank is that the 1hp hits can actually set people on fire. 192 chances to proc that 10-20% chance to burn on the engine.
I have witnessed some strange situation with this new tank yesterday evening, First this tank can shread a Taran in no time (which to be honest I dont think is a bad thing as we can all agree Taran is an utterly OP TD). The Vigilante also killed an AVRE from the rear within a few seconds as apparently the armor in the rear of the AVRE seems not strong enough (again I did enjoy seeing this I have to be honest). Now if you are playing in T8 or T9 medium, light or TD's you can be shredded even in the side or front by this tank, which is not fun indeed. What I realized is that apparently this tank gets matched with itself so there was always the same number of Vigilantes in each team, same like Taran or AVRE. So I am really enjoyes seeing this tank to tear apparant the other OP tanks but than if you get shredded by it yourself you start to hate it.
It really sucks when this tank comes up behind you and you don’t know it. I was in a prior of war, hull down and the next thing I know my hp is gone and I’m destroyed by a T249. I didn’t even know he was behind me. 🤦♂️
In my vigilante, I got behind a kanjg tier X td and the WT E100, (both full heath) and I killed the JG for full heath, and then in the same clip, clipped out the WT for full heath with 60 shells still in the clip, 4500 clip potential is AMAZING
@Jake_in_StateFarm justifying yourself a bit there son. That's good you're enjoying your new toxic AA gun, sorry I mean tank. Obviously designed with people like you in mind. Big pockets small brains
Lots of long term players honing their Medium/Heavy tank skills ,strategy, etc etc only to be fluffed out in 2 secs by noob in one of these things...GG
damn, thinking about how decisive a tier 10 light can and be and you can just hunt down and destroy your counterpart at will - who is doing the test play and thinking over there?!
Absolutely! I've been playing my Type 5 Heavy a lot since the Vigilante was introduced yesterday. All they can do is get a few points of damage for not penning me (which is a ridiculous mechanic if ever there was one) but then I one-shot 'em back to the garage with my 15cm derp gun's 1,300 damage. I'm quite enjoying this to be honest! Superheavies are the way to go when playing Tier 10 now.
I stopped playing back in 2019 when things were beginning to get bad and just came back to it about a month ago, and this game is almost unrecognizable. There are bots everywhere, even at tier 8. There are tanks now that are completely broken and stupid, I mean hell I got killed by a tank that from what I could see had 2 flintlock muskets for tank guns. I mean WTF!
there is just one pro with this tank coming to the game. this will stop yoloing apart from these things. tanks will group up. wont pop from random places. other than that its too op. but I dont mind. this gives me a reason to play 183. it will be my task
I mean are they still fixing the weasels? Barely see Jagers anymore, bet people feel real good they bought that…. Now there’s these (bangs head on desk!!)
I dont know why you all are surprised. If the devs cared about balancing and toxicity, they would have nerfed arty like they did on PC. They havent. They have also nerfed just about every single tank they have brought over from PC in the last couple years. Clearly they dont GAF
The Vigilante is on sale right now for 9,000 Gold. That price should still be good for another few days. After that, its "regular" price will be 22,500 Gold.
What would have "balanced" this thing is if it had the overheating mechanisms like the CW one. Why WG decided to not make it have to deal with overheating IDK...🤷🏼♂️
I’m going to attempt to balance this tank: Remove bleed through if effective armor hit is equal or greater than 200mm thick Decrease damage per shot from 25 to 10. Decrease clip size from 192 to 112 Decrease reload time from 32 to 24 seconds Increase penetration from 75 to 110 Increase terrain resistance from 0.5/0.6/1.1 to 0.8/1/1.4 Increase health from 1100 to 1500 They’re not ever going to remove this tank from the game and I doubt they’ll even nerf it but I can dream
Another tank where you have to ask, "What were they thinking?" As if WG don't rattle the player base/community into outrage every so often, they don't know we're alive out here? I can see a role at least for this, unlike the Avenger in CW E2, in that it can scout and use the gun for self defence, but most people will just YOLO and get yeeted off the board. If I get one I'll garage it for a while, say 2 months then take it out, by then all those that got tired of the gimmick or couldn't get it worked out, will not be playing it. Great video though, thanks for the insight.
I've been thinking of doing pretty much the same thing: buy it now, but just sit on it for a while, and then once the mania has subsided, bring it out to play. It'll likely get nerfed after WG sells a few hundred thousand of 'em, and it may end up actually being strong but not absurdly toxic after the nerf, and might be worth having. But by that time, its price tag will be 22,500 Gold instead of the "special introductory sale price" of only 9,000 Gold! So IF someone is even thinking about buying it, they should do it NOW!
Hmm. Now maybe I 'll play no higher then T7. Life will be easier. I'll miss my Tiger 2, though. No, wait, I have the E-75 and E 100 to play with. How annoying will it be for someone , anyone, with less then the minimum required amount of armor on all sides.
I've watched three videos on this tank and every review and comment was negative, so, if we want WG to change, please stop giving them money!! I think if enough people stop playing tier 10 and they start losing money, then maybe they'll stop doing this s@#*.
this tank is broken when fighting the following tanks (americans british and majority of the paper thin tanks) your only safe bet is to play heavy tanks but if you play heavy tanks your just food to the cruel 850+ alpha meta that plagues tier 10
Last time I booted the game up for the first time in a bit there was the flamethrower bug on the Soldier On M56 that would instaclip everything so I left, come back and they thought that was such a good idea they made a tank that does the same thing without a bug needed. Very cool
The fact that you wouldnt call it op is proof that WG has throat.. dear Petty, are you not aware that outside of its gun its literally outperforming every light tank?
It's got all the tools to be a great passive scout like Mantis(although that got undeservedly nerfed). That's not OP. Which is why I said its Toxicly Broken. There's a difference between the two Guns useless in 70% of situations.
This tank just goes to show you WG doesn't even care anymore. Desperate they are
Avre exists man, they haven’t cared

what is the point of playing tier 8 -10 lights, mediums and some tds tank now that this thing exists?
the point is you are now their statistics
at this point im just joining in whilst this game is still alive.
Would it be more beneficial to switch out Clutch Braking for Deadeye? Is there also any reason to use Enhanced Target Info with only 75mm pen?
It's broken at the moment. Petty, comment if I'm wrong but I do understand that this and the CW tank witj minigun will damage enemy, even if they don't penetrate the enemy armor. So you can dump you clip in to enemy Type 5 Heavy and deal some dmg (192-300 dmg with a single clip).

Yup that's the bleed through mechanic, depends on the armour plates it hits as to how much actually does damage. (Could be like 100-300)

With that tank who can delete tier X tanks in instant i don't know if i still choose the SU-130PM in earn OP
Funny to meet t249 while playing su130pm
You should do a custom games and try to pen a Maus someway then see how fast its hit points dissappear
It's weird as well, the drum is the gun AND ammorack, but a maus and a strum(p) bounced off it but then a hoollendhund pens,
What's even more toxic about this tank is that the 1hp hits can actually set people on fire. 192 chances to proc that 10-20% chance to burn on the engine.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the first T10 premium that has a silver bonus
It is because Black Edition. And the first Tier X Black Edition by the way.
It will be a lot tougher playing tier 8, now
Got ran down earlier by a NIGHSTALKER and T249 lol the game has steadily became rudiculous and unenjoyable
i havent died to this tank yet but i see like 4 per game and when i do see someone die to it its literally in like 2 seconds its crazy
I have witnessed some strange situation with this new tank yesterday evening, First this tank can shread a Taran in no time (which to be honest I dont think is a bad thing as we can all agree Taran is an utterly OP TD).

This is just sad

How much gold does it cost?
So do the gun perks benefit this tank?
Yes.
You see that in the vid with the difference in stock stats to fully equipped stats
Is it more toxic than the wiesel light tank in era 2 ?
Probably just as.
It really sucks when this tank comes up behind you and you don’t know it. I was in a prior of war, hull down and the next thing I know my hp is gone and I’m destroyed by a T249. I didn’t even know he was behind me. 🤦♂️
I think imma play console just to play this tank. Gonna buy it tomorrow.
So this is the WWII version. Between this and the Era 2 nonsense. Don't know if I can keep playing.
As someone stated back on their sign on the deceased forums after update 6.0 4 years ago: "Is a strange game, the best move on it is not to play"
A tank like that in a ww2 game is ridiculous
Haha this thing just casually strolled up to the side of my type 5 heavy and sucked away all the rest of my hp. Fun times 😂😢
In my vigilante, I got behind a kanjg tier X td and the WT E100, (both full heath) and I killed the JG for full heath, and then in the same clip, clipped out the WT for full heath with 60 shells still in the clip, 4500 clip potential is AMAZING
Amazingly disgusting that is.

53 seconds of liquidating pain (aaarrrraaaggghhhhhh)
Yup
Lower clip potential to 2k, 20-25 second reload
This thing shouldn’t be able to kill other lights in a clip with anything less than a 40 sec reload

They havent. They have also nerfed just about every single tank they have brought over from PC in the last couple years.
Clearly they dont GAF
Nice thar WG destroy WWll too😂😂
How much gold is it
The Vigilante is on sale right now for 9,000 Gold. That price should still be good for another few days. After that, its "regular" price will be 22,500 Gold.
Killed 3 of them with the bar earlier 😂 well technically 2 and assisted in the 3rd.
Been waiting for this video to drop. Excited to see your viewpoint
What would have "balanced" this thing is if it had the overheating mechanisms like the CW one. Why WG decided to not make it have to deal with overheating IDK...🤷🏼♂️
I’m going to attempt to balance this tank:
Remove bleed through if effective armor hit is equal or greater than 200mm thick
Decrease damage per shot from 25 to 10.
Decrease clip size from 192 to 112
Decrease reload time from 32 to 24 seconds
Increase penetration from 75 to 110
Increase terrain resistance from
0.5/0.6/1.1 to 0.8/1/1.4
Increase health from 1100 to 1500
They’re not ever going to remove this tank from the game and I doubt they’ll even nerf it but I can dream
Another tank where you have to ask, "What were they thinking?" As if WG don't rattle the player base/community into outrage every so often, they don't know we're alive out here?
I can see a role at least for this, unlike the Avenger in CW E2, in that it can scout and use the gun for self defence, but most people will just YOLO and get yeeted off the board. If I get one I'll garage it for a while, say 2 months then take it out, by then all those that got tired of the gimmick or couldn't get it worked out, will not be playing it. Great video though, thanks for the insight.
I've been thinking of doing pretty much the same thing: buy it now, but just sit on it for a while, and then once the mania has subsided, bring it out to play. It'll likely get nerfed after WG sells a few hundred thousand of 'em, and it may end up actually being strong but not absurdly toxic after the nerf, and might be worth having. But by that time, its price tag will be 22,500 Gold instead of the "special introductory sale price" of only 9,000 Gold! So IF someone is even thinking about buying it, they should do it NOW!
It makes any other 8-10 light tank obsolete.
Thought all Black tanks had 75% xp.
Ww2 welcome to Cold War
Why would you bring something like this into the game?
WG hate Wot Console ww2 mode.
Hmm. Now maybe I 'll play no higher then T7. Life will be easier. I'll miss my Tiger 2, though. No, wait, I have the E-75 and E 100 to play with. How annoying will it be for someone , anyone, with less then the minimum required amount of armor on all sides.
Tiger 2 is near immune and E75 definitely immune
I dislike seeing many light tanks and Artillery.
So this would be great to hunt them but I love my TD and this tank will ruin it
imagine the f4005 against this
Arty Grille 15 FV4005 Wtf AUF E100 and al those paper thanks are Fucked
Thanks WG for convincing me to finally move on and leave WoT behind.
I've watched three videos on this tank and every review and comment was negative, so, if we want WG to change, please stop giving them money!! I think if enough people stop playing tier 10 and they start losing money, then maybe they'll stop doing this s@#*.
Few years ago i thought nothing can be more horrible than french light wheel tanks. Lol
this tank is broken when fighting the following tanks (americans british and majority of the paper thin tanks)
your only safe bet is to play heavy tanks but if you play heavy tanks your just food to the cruel 850+ alpha meta that plagues tier 10
What on earth is a Desmond Tutu ?? 🤣
IS-2-2
Last time I booted the game up for the first time in a bit there was the flamethrower bug on the Soldier On M56 that would instaclip everything so I left, come back and they thought that was such a good idea they made a tank that does the same thing without a bug needed. Very cool
This thing is so obnoxious, just bought the 268.4 but now it feels irrelevant with these little demons running around
Apparently they were behind on income yearly target so they bought this toxic tank to be sold
The fact that you wouldnt call it op is proof that WG has throat.. dear Petty, are you not aware that outside of its gun its literally outperforming every light tank?
It's got all the tools to be a great passive scout like Mantis(although that got undeservedly nerfed). That's not OP.
Which is why I said its Toxicly Broken. There's a difference between the two
Guns useless in 70% of situations.
@Petty360 sure but these 30% outperform the 70% by a LOT
Nerf with refunds next update. Armadillo part 2.
