I'd love to see more gameplay where you do one shot or zero damage so that I know even egomaniac unicums also have bad games and don't just steamroll every game making these tanks look unbeatable
I think this tank is a step in the right direction. Aesthetically pleasing and not super OP. People can still enjoy it for what it is and to earn credits, and it has the potential to be slightly buffed if need be. Much better than a new premium that’s too strong and won’t be nerfed because it’s a premium. Nice review!
You have a good point mate. Aesthetically looks amazing, it can be OK but it's not super crazy so room for a bit of love if needed. I think you're right tbf, atleast they're releasing something that's on the more balanced scale than a Dreadnought (for instance)
Nice review mate. I like the look of thing for sure. With 1.5 seconds off reload and armour buff to the cupola and roof in front of cupola, plus maybe just protecting the engine a bit more might make it worth it.. As you say. On sale yes. 👍🏻🙂
That first game, I'm amazed anyone pushed with you from that spawn. I've lost count since true vision how many games I've lost because nobody will go beyond that first corner, it's ridiculous.
@@Petty360 It's creeping into nearly all the maps now. El halouf, people not pushing the corner and sitting on the cap or ridge. Even some of the more open maps, completely leave one flank empty or not push it. Does my fucking head in.
Good Video.. You have to remember that most T9/T10 will destroy most T8.. In its tier, it looks good. Players complain if premium tanks are op, but then complain if there not op.. Which way does wg go. I think they did a good job of balancing it..
Tbf you make a very good point, tbh this thing does best on average when mid tier because theres more hitpoints and less guns that fire quickly. Fast paced games (for which there's a lot of) it really doesn't keep up
GG, nice matches. I hate losing matches that I have played well in but it happens all too often. As for the tank, I will wait until it goes on sale for 50% off before I think about buying it. For some strange reason I do enjoy playing those big slow German Heavy tanks.
This is for 8500 Gold mate, or are you meaning saving the gold to convert? The tier X VK Free xp tank is a fun hard hitting tank and we'll worth, this can be fun but might be worth waiting for a good deal on it
The slow reload is a downer for sure but the buff I would most like to see is to engine and ammo rack durability. Pretty much every pen kills the engine or ammo rack. I may start running a second repair kit instead of the med kit
Picked it up in the last sale bundle it was in, didn't want this tank, I think it was the Iron rain I bought the pack for. Liked iron rain, but I'm slowly falling in love with this tank... My favourite side scraper, some how even with its low ass DPM I'm averaging 3k damage 🤷♂️ then again I went toe to toe with a TD and not once did he try to shoot my cupola... Just kept bouncing off the upper and lower plate like a numpty 🤦♂️ Edit: the defenders gun being RNG in a barrell got me 🤣 that's soo accurate for some guns!
@@Petty360 yeah I did notice afterwards this was pre 6.0 😂 But what a heavy in 6.0 (I'm not a heavy fan in general) but this is quickly catching up with T54E2 as my favourite heavy 😁
I think the reload is good for the gun you get. Compare it to the Andre the giant. This tank and that tank have like the same reload. And this one is at tier 8. Awesome gameplay man
I will give that slow arse loading thing a miss. Nb. Why does Tusk show 100% spotting with zero equipment ? Does this mean it is already at its maximum spotting capability out the box & there is no need to put vision equipment on it ?
Don't pay attention to those sliders mate. They're so misleading. If a tank has over 400m view range it generally has 100 on that bar. You should most definitely put the spotting equipment on it! (it does have 420 view range which is the best) anything to make spotting easier and have that assistance damage racking up!
I quite like the VK B nowadays (didn't back in the day, Saw it as just a worse E75, definitely true nowadays not so much in the past) but the turret armour gets found out far to often and that engine damage every game is horrid
I bought it instead of loaning just for the aesthetically pleasing look of it and I like big guns. It's OK, but generally it's something I could only recommend to buy on one of those great DOTW offers
As you said you played it wrong against the fatherland and t28, you never take chances in this game, being overwhelmed? It’s premium rounds.... but otherwise great gameplay, I love the tank and even annihilate tier 10’s with this thing
It's my day one crew mate. Literally went up every tech tree with it and Pretty much goes into every prem I play, don't do all that much crew training anymore so the good crew goes into the prems
I did says it around 200 effective which means that pretty much every heavy at tier 8 will pen it easily. Pretty much medium will have a 50/50 too. And thats before premium rounds. By the time it's got enough effective armour by angling the side is penable. The armours only good for sidescraping. If penned in the front too the engine breaks everytime which is painful.
Tbf I've got my day 1 super crew in it, should probably put more realistic crews in for review games. Played 58 games in it now and not been set on fire yet but that crew with Preventative maintenance and Firefighting probably helps as much as a auto extinguisher tbh. All the engine damage it gets probably results in them engine fires unfortunately 😔
The problem with this game is avg tanks are essentially rubbish and one trick ponies are either op as they get or also awful. This seems to have that exact problem. Its like a chrysler k but rubbish as the gun is ok but the tank is half as mobile. Was about to buy it but roger dodger is a kingtiger e75 baby thing but this tank is just not worth it
Not worth buying straight away, whenever they do a DOTW for it and it's 50% off it will be around 4.2-4.6k which would be a good deal for it, but not now
Those 2 games don't honestly represent the tank, they were great games in fairness but you poo poo the tank for 10 minutes then just roll around like a god in it, I love your reviews, I've told you this but the gameplay doesn't match the oral review, I get it, unicums have egos but you said you try pick up where cpt beardface left off, this isn't it, I think when uni's want to do honest reviews they should leave the ego at the door and show just why and how the tank is strong or weak instead of just showing us how good you are, you also do videos just showing monster games,I would humbly suggest to keep that stuff and reviews seperate unless of course a tank really is just that good, I'm reading this back and it sounds like a nasty comment but I promise it's meant with good intentions, no offence meant, I'll definitely be tuning in to all your future reviews
It's all good my dude,constructive criticism is always appreciated! I do get that I basically slagged it off then showed some good games but I do generally try to show what the tank can do in its best scenarios like these games. What I could do is try to fit in clips of things I don't like (maybe similar to the true vision vid I did) to show where I think it struggles before showing what it can do in its area of strength. I dont think it's terrible just not something that people should be jumping out to buy straight of the Bat.
I love these long reviews that you have been doing recently, it really helps me get a grasp of the vehicle.
Cheers mate, tis why I do em 👍

as they add the first tier 9 premium to wot PC . The Strv K . sigh
Congrats on your channel growth my dude. I’m proud to see another WOT youtuber doing his thing!
Cheers dude!! 🎉 👍

This review saved me some gold. Thanks Petty!
It's better since 6.0 added 10% better DPM (in crew skill) and better accuracy, still a lot better out there to get tho
GG Petty! Can't wait to try this tank, looks pretty nice for me even with that reload 😊
It's OK but it's a wait till a good deal one tbh. The reload is horrid.
Like the content, been looking for more console channels
Cheers dude 👍
This poor soul played 40+ games in the "Masochstinator" to bring us this review (and an ace for Swindle)
That first game, I'm amazed anyone pushed with you from that spawn. I've lost count since true vision how many games I've lost because nobody will go beyond that first corner, it's ridiculous.
It's hit and miss that map whether people push that side of go ice Road... Luckily enough for me people helped

I have actually been enjoying it the more I play it, tho the limitations are frustrating.
Definitely worth at 30-50% off!
Thinking of buying it because ive been craving a super heavy but idk if i wanna waste all of free xp and have to grind even more for the tier X VK72
This is for 8500 Gold mate, or are you meaning saving the gold to convert?
The tier X VK Free xp tank is a fun hard hitting tank and we'll worth, this can be fun but might be worth waiting for a good deal on it

I am artillery player. This reload quite nice lol.

It's not bad now in 6.0 because it doesnt miss as much which is nice.
Only downside is pen RNG hurts it's armour a lot now
@@Petty360 yeah I did notice afterwards this was pre 6.0 😂
But what a heavy in 6.0 (I'm not a heavy fan in general) but this is quickly catching up with T54E2 as my favourite heavy 😁

I think the reload is good for the gun you get. Compare it to the Andre the giant. This tank and that tank have like the same reload. And this one is at tier 8. Awesome gameplay man
Aye but the Andre also has 560 alpha, it's more the package for me, incredibly slow Reload with a slow tank means games run away from it all too often
Looks like a fun tank tbh. I'll pick it up when its DOTW
It's OK situationally, definitely a steal on DOTW when it happens tbf, it's pretty cheap for what it is!
I really enjoyed the video hope you can keep it up 👍
Cheers dude 👍
@@Petty360 :)
I will give that slow arse loading thing a miss.

The end of the first game hurt D:
It hurt me too. I should not have cheaped out and just pressed A. 😢
@@Petty360 GG
So is this a special of enough tank to make it into Petty's garage on a permanent basis...
I bought it instead of loaning just for the aesthetically pleasing look of it and I like big guns.
It's OK, but generally it's something I could only recommend to buy on one of those great DOTW offers
What the damage for moe? Great game.
Too early to tell for that atm mate, we'll know in a week or twos time, cheers dude 👍
For 4k gold this isn't such a bad deal for a tank right?
4k gold isn't bad at all
Gg mate
As you said you played it wrong against the fatherland and t28, you never take chances in this game, being overwhelmed? It’s premium rounds.... but otherwise great gameplay, I love the tank and even annihilate tier 10’s with this thing
GGs bro...
Cheers dude 👍
Great information ☺️ but not the tank for me
Cheers dude 👍
The bizon t103 is much better in regards to dpm at over 5 rds a minute...
Bizons a very good tank. This tank doesn't have good DPM 😅
Yo
Yoooooo
How glamorous you are that you paid to have so many skills?
It's my day one crew mate. Literally went up every tech tree with it and Pretty much goes into every prem I play, don't do all that much crew training anymore so the good crew goes into the prems
Your thinking is very correct 😉
👍
Bruh just trached the lower plate 150 is amazing u duck

its crap
hate it
now teach me how to play it
first 2 games with food, got set on fire both games...3rd game onwards had fire extinguisher and dropped food
That’s the truth I got it tho king it was like the tier 9 VK and nope
Tbf I've got my day 1 super crew in it, should probably put more realistic crews in for review games.
Played 58 games in it now and not been set on fire yet but that crew with Preventative maintenance and Firefighting probably helps as much as a auto extinguisher tbh.

Oh no that Tier 9 Vk can stand shots to the lfp, this definitely cannot.
@@Petty360 honestly huge crews r more realistic for prems
This thing cant get out of its own way against tier 10.
Yeh tis a bit of a pain

Lower plate, cupola on the turret

on pc it sucks ass
on console its probably worse

the tank is garbage
Not the biggest fan of it meself
