to be honest, as much as I would love all those changes, they started to work on improvements last year and it has been mostly positive changes so far. They already teased big changes in september and on of the chiefs already said in interview, they are working on MM as well. So hopefully, they are gonna do even more positive changes. Fingers crossed for maps as well
They removed the Su-122-54 because it was considered not having a place in the game. A real tank that you can see on display. Well when the war is over at least. But then they keep putting in crap tanks like this that are exactly the same as the Su-122-54
The thing is that this tank has a lot to offer if you are into passive TD gameplay. Armor that works at range (if you are lucky enough to get on a long range map) and high alpha in case you cant utilize DPM (which is very often when enemy tanks work hills or ridgelines). Gameplay may thus be not exactly everyones cup of tea of course.
When the first battle started and Skill parked its Kunst behind the bush my mind showed me Wile Coyote opening a small pink umbrella as a bunch of rocks is about to fall on him. I mean artillery on the soft roof of the vehicle. What I never would have imagined it's Skill doing no damage. This shows the amazing quality of the matchmaking program that WG uses.
@@mywafflebroke6874the WZ-111 (same tank as the Alpine Tiger) has been in the game for ages. The WZ-111 Model 6 is a new tank, it’s only been on the super test
They never should have put a siege mode on this tank. They should’ve just added a hydropneumatic suspension like on the japanese tanks that activate below a certain speed, give it the same gunstats as the k-91-pt and left it at that. Also I know you said if we have S1 we don’t need this tank. But I guess that’s why they put it in lootboxes, so you don’t have a choice of what tank you’ll get.
From the distance this thing will be great but close range the mobility in siegemode guarantees that every single shot will hit and pen the massive tower on top. Against low caliber guns s1 has a better armor.
this was honestly one of the worst reviews you did in a long time. you didnt perform good in the first game, got salty and blamed a tank that works perfectly fine for 20mins straight.
Personally, I don't see why the review is "bad". I wouldn't call the tank HORRIBLE, it is 2 stars at best, but I do agree with skill that this tank is pointless. Why would you even play with this tank when you have STRV S1? Want big alpha damage with no siege mode and fully/semi rotatable turrets? You have godlike tds like Skorpion or SU130PM. Want sneaky snipers with great camo and great gun handling? You have AMX CDA 105 and Kanpz 105. Not to mention that all the tanks above (except maybe for SU) have great mobility; the list goes on and on. This tank literally serves no purpose at all.
@patriciodiez5360 this tank is unique. I wouldn't call it pointless. I would even argue that this tank performs better than Strv S1 in most maps. Its niche sure, but not pointless.
Played this tank for a couple of games and can now confirm, that this tank indeed performs better than Strv S1. simply because you can shoot the same amount of times per game but the KUST deals way more damage per shot.
I have S1 and don't know why I would like to have this one too but..... I like short time reload so it's not my type and of course this damn artuditu on the top xD
Well, I think the tier 8 STRV is shit because of lacking flexibility and the Kust is even slower. But it has alpha damage and alpha is king in WoT. So probably more enjoyable to snipe for a little more impact with this gun.
Kust has the elevation/depression to fire on the enemy outside of siege, but gun traverse is dog slow which makes it hard. WG could massively improve the vehicle by making it 1s into and out of siege mode, and improving the gun traverse speed to 20 or 25 d/s. It's currently 10.
First tank destroyer where I actually have to say that I do not want to have it. I am already struggling with STRV S1 since I dislike the playstyle. And now you telling me that this tank feels so much worse than it. It just tells me that I should not buy the boxes to try to get this new tank destroyer. Maybe after some time wargaming will buff this tank so that it is at least average. But like how it currently is, no thanks.
You just wait until people discover that no matter how low their gun caliber is, they can just HE the tower of Sauron on top of this thing because it only has 30mm of armor. This thing is just a pathetic pile of refuse and it can get owned beyond belief with extreme ease.
Im just curious why they added that big ben at the top, at 500 m maybe you are going to bounce a shot, but if someone will be at 100-200 m load he and enjoy blasting kust ;D
Only addicts and streamers buy every vehicle WG releases. As for addicts, they buy because they have fomo (fear of missing out), or they want to own as many virtual tanks as possible, for example my clanmate bought 113 BO from bond store although he already has normal 113.
Doesn’t look too bad yeah lower camo and it’s slower in siege mode but have good alpha dmg nice accurate gun and okay dpm and some armor we have worst tanks in game
with this, the LT-432, the ST-66 and the DBV-152 there are now 4 pseudo-T-64s in the game, with the only class missing being a heavy-tank (not counting SPGs). WG, T-64 Prot. tier 9 premium when?
@ yes and no. Obj. 430 was the design that would lead to the T-64. When Morozov finished work on the T-55 he and his team began working on the next-generation of medium-tanks. The result of this was the Obj. 430. The 430 however came with a whooping shitload of problems, most coming down to the engine, the small size and the suspension. After identifying the problems the tank was radically redesigned (and new concepts were introduced) wich became Obj. 432, wich then became the T-64. The 430U is only tangentially related to the T-72. It is a fictionalised "answer" to Obj. 167M. The 167M was a significantly uparmored T-62, with a new engine, 125mm gun and new suspension. The project failed miserably and needed a complete redesign, wich enden in Obj. 172, wich then became the T-72.
i just feel like grom is 1million times better than this, from medium range still slaps for 400 to 500 dmg, 280 pen, insane shell speed, better armor, and its super fast
Yeah... loot boxes. Insane how much WOT has declined. Wargaming is insane. In tier 8 battles are full of premiums. Literally. No tech tree tanks. WTF? CCs are promoting all of this. No shame.
Another Campsalot, I hope its a bile of caca. No armor, unreliable gun, and poor mobility (siege mode) so it sits on a shelf. Sick of the TD meta and the sheer numbers in every game. So much fun having to break camp after camp. Think Wargaming should allow some all Td or SPG games to take the pressure off the main queue.
This tank is simply superior to Strv, because once you start blasting, your position is compromised. At least with KUST, alpha damage makes it worth changing the position. Where in Strv, you get shot while trying to hit another time with your position compromised. It's also better in city maps, because nobody will let you sit in front of them in siege mode to shoot the 2nd time. Also nobody mentions that the normal ammo is AP not APCR. AP has better penetration characteristics overall due to angle correction.
WG: we will give this tank huge cupola!
Players: so it's a weakspot, but then it should have monstrous view range to compensate right?
WG: tehe >_
Nobody should spend money with wg until they make drastic steps to improve the game. Crap maps and rigged mm plus rng is a shit show.
Nailed it

If this is what they made from the su122v im totally bummed. That one looked really promising on tanksgg
In truth, it is inline with the actual serviceability of real Russian tanks.
"I hate everything about this tank" So you're saying there's a chance?

There are other reasons for the purchase of a 113 BO
@D4rkM4773r for example?
Siege mode TD's with reduced mobility are very difficult to play aggressively. Same with S1, it's definitely not for everyone.
Needs bigger commander tower, also “kust” in Russian is “bush”
it is still better than Borsig, much much better.
Armor?No if you have bucket on top of tank:)
Imagine this meets BZ-176....
If I'm not mistaken, something has an automatic reload system on the RU server
Nope, they got different tank. Idk why so many people think they are the same.
Glad to know you liked the tank 0.o lol
Why there are 2 chieftains mk6 in tech tree? New operation reward?
More armor, higher alpha, Wargaming seems to have no other ideas how to sell a new vehicle on tier 8
Tank with a top hat 🎩
judging by it's armor wargaming need to change it's name from "Куст"(Bush) to "Хруст"(Crunch)
Kust or Kpz3?
Doesn’t look too bad yeah lower camo and it’s slower in siege mode but have good alpha dmg nice accurate gun and okay dpm and some armor we have worst tanks in game

terrible accuracy useless armor with that r2 d2 on top mobility is eh it turns around pretty slow for a turretless tank its pretty bad
