This is the first time that I can remember that W.G. put new tanks into the loot boxes and didn't make us all recover crap from the dustbin to prevent unwanted duplicates.... I am looking at you Emil 1951
I managed to get all 5 in about 100 boxes (holy luck) DZT-159: Didn't really like it at first, but after the first 5 or so matches I have started to like this thing. The gun is as you said, kind of a problem but overall I can make it work; doesn't stop me from rolling my eyes when a shell goes to the next map instead of where I aimed it. Overall 8.5/10. Squall: I find going after another light tank with HE loaded to be hilarious, though it tends to result in my death or me losing a ton of health. Also, its not got great camo nor great speed, so every match I have to decide if I want the loadout with the stealth or the one with the turbo. Overall 5.5/10; would be higher if it was faster or at least stealthier... Toro: The gun itself and the maneuvrability is quite nice, and the armour CAN be rather good if you are sidescraping (note I didn't say "IS rather good"). My main massive bloody gripe is the damn reloading speeds; how the hell can a 360 alpha shell take 24-36 business days to load in a HEAVY tank?? Even if I played by using ONLY the first shell and used the 9.6 second reload, at that point I still have lower DPM than something like a Renegade man... That reload speed is so bad that it almost makes me not want to play the tank at times... 6/10 generally, 8/10 only if it's a game with clueless enemies lol Contradictious: The double barrel mechanic is hilarious and I like the gun depression, though I do find that you get penned from all sorts of weird angles on the roof/cupola. Also yeah the reloading on it is irritating. If the enemies are clueless or scare and allow you to sit around a corner/slope and pump out 720 alpha shots, then you would do well. 8/10 XM57: I love this thing and find it to be very entertaining. The armour is by no means fantastic, but it does pull off more bounces than I expected when I first looked at the armour profile on tanks gg (then realising I was using the XM's own gun to gauge it...). Usually find that playing peek-a-boom or sitting around a corner with only the turret sticking out works best. Kinda treat it like a T110E4 at Tier 8 i.e. big boom stick but armour isnt the best and something to rely on. 8.5/10, maybe a 9.
Squall has 18,24 camo, which is actually above average at tier 8 (7th/8th/9th place, shared with T-92 and Blesk, among 19 currently existing LTs, so only 6 LTs out of 19 have better camo, while there are 10 that have a worse one). The viewrange of 380m is average, same as some other 8 LTs. It's main problems are that it is literally the slowest moving LT with 55km/h base forward speed and it has quite a limited -6 deg gun depression, that doesn't provide for many comfortable shooting opportunities on unequal terrain. The autocannon itself is a feature with its own pros and cons, that are overall somewhat hard to compare with "regular gun" mechanics.
give the xm57 turbo & rotation mech & rammer and you will be able to snap shot on the move like crazy. i love it! armor is not to bad if you peak and turn with your turret and hide your boddy. you can also have a second build with iau for those maps *but not for sniping. good video though :) btw dont forget about the crazy explosive shells!
Was really enjoying your battle pass tanks series, but glad you're putting that aside because these were some super refreshing takes! Feel like these tanks all have really oppressive strengths in the right scenario, but also below-average versatility, which is a cool balancing move. Maybe pick it up the BP series again when next year's tanks are announced, that would be a super fun watch.
I had to stop it as there was way too much I needed to create and going on all at once. I wouldn't have the time to complete it all. There is a video on all the tanks on my channel where I go through each one and my opinion on them hasn't changed since that video was created. I will re-do them once the new battle pass is out.
the xm57 is amazing , its a trading heavytank thats how u play it, ok in tier 10 mm and godlike in tier 6, the alpha and standard pen makes it so much better then last years xm66F
I find playing the toro as a mix between T57 and AMX 50b to work best.. Not a front line, and not trying to min max reload. I just support and find opportune moments to dump full mag then wait full reload. Rinse repeat. Got ace tanker doing full mag dumps instead of doing single shots to max the reload.
XM is a great defensive tank. The armor works most of the time when being hulldown or "snorkeling" around a corner. The trollish gun is annoying, yes. The T30 feels reliable in comparison, but I guess that's the price to pay to have a similar gun at tier 8.
This will be the first time since I began playing wot in 2020 that I will be missing out on the holiday ops grind because I had unfortunately broken my wrist 😢
I have a love/hate relationship with the XM, sometimes it misses point blank but couple hours ago I had an 8K damage game in a tier 10 match up in Westfield. The Tier 9 medium is (for me) overall well balanced and fun to play here and there. The contra is “unique” but feels so off when playing it, and then we have the squall which I just play like a medium tank and get yelled at when doing so 🤣 Don’t have the Toro but that’s okay for me, when I play against it I pen it everywhere tho. “Playable” tank as skill would say, he even hates it 😆
Try using rotation mech. I use it with rammer and turbo. I don't miss. This was kinda lucky but one time i hit a borasque driving around outside of my green circle while i was driving to position. It was pretty dope.
It needs concentration and armorer skill, mine hits almost evereything :DApcr deals less damage, shoot AP and you could erase that Lorraine with HE. XM57 is very annoying to play against, I actually love to play it in platoon with friends.
Second year in a row where an American XM is a huge, unarmored disappointment. The XM57 really only works playing peek-a-boom while praying you don't lose your ammo rack.
I got all the premiums except toro in 58 boxes Dzt-159 Love it, the rockets are retared on this tank, to be able to got 80 as a medium is just stupid you can litterly take important positions from lights. The gun is good but trollish 9/10 Xm Clonky funny tank, the armour is foofy the gun on close range is amazing but on 100m plus good luck hitting anything 7/10 Contradictus Fun tank but the armour is a but weird 7/10 Squall A meme tank, its bad in every expect compared to the tech tree one but its fun to load he and go after lights 6/10
Second comment, for the algorithm. I think you underestimate the XM-57's strengths. Idk but I just never see this tank do bad in any of my games and I kinda struggle against it

its not the best brawler so i would avoid hardening
the HE shells on the XM are absolute joy when they pen and you roll for over 1k dmg lmao
Makes everyone on both sides go "wtf??"
Yea! It's insane! Don't know what max is on about.

XM by far the best tank from the boxes this year, rest could even not exist :).
I aced the XM57 in my 2nd game doing 6k dmg. It's kinda comfy ngl
the xm57 is amazing , its a trading heavytank thats how u play it, ok in tier 10 mm and godlike in tier 6, the alpha and standard pen makes it so much better then last years xm66F
I'm enjoying the DTZ-159 and FV226. I do agree the 159 gun is super frustrating.

People cry when prem tanks are on the strong or op side, but constantly trash it if its balanced. These tanks are balanced i would say

"Why have you discovered keyboard now?!" had me laugh hard 😂😂
This will be the first time since I began playing wot in 2020 that I will be missing out on the holiday ops grind because I had unfortunately broken my wrist 😢
The ting about balanced tanks today is that people are still expecting a BZ-176. As anything balanced then is ofc seen as bad or underpreforming sadly

Not quite, despite the gun handling, this tank is actually one the most, If not the most, Powerfull tier 8 tank currently
11:06 obviously go for shoulder instead of the cupola
lol i got the DZ from the single free lootbox given in advent calendar
I got all the premiums except toro in 58 boxes
Dzt-159
Love it, the rockets are retared on this tank, to be able to got 80 as a medium is just stupid you can litterly take important positions from lights. The gun is good but trollish 9/10
Xm
Clonky funny tank, the armour is foofy the gun on close range is amazing but on 100m plus good luck hitting anything
7/10
Contradictus
Fun tank but the armour is a but weird
7/10
Squall
A meme tank, its bad in every expect compared to the tech tree one but its fun to load he and go after lights
6/10
Second comment, for the algorithm. I think you underestimate the XM-57's strengths. Idk but I just never see this tank do bad in any of my games and I kinda struggle against it
Thank you for vindication with the XM57. Been arguing with my clanmates, who say that it's a broken tank, but it really isn't.
Hey Maxgamingfps.
What tank do you think is best, heavy tank 60tp or object 705a?
60tp, better gun, mobility and more flexible on a ridgeline. Only thing 705a is better at is sidescraping
60TP. I know I'm not Max, but the 705A does only one thing, and that's sidescraping.
60TP is better overall.
@MaxGamingFPS okay
Ahh yes mex with the holiday ops tonks but i wanna trade my squall for something else 😂
vote for full games :)
you forgot the low tier ones
Noice
bUt WhErE aRe ThE lOw TiEr TaNkS
