honestly I completely agree, modes other than 15v15 are so much fun, problem is they don't come around to often and when they do, they don't stay for very long
I am somewhat enjoying playing tier 6 Strongholds with my clan of noobs, but the whole Strongholds system could use a touch up. I would like for it to be like Onslaught (not with abilities) meaning that we could pick our tank after the map is loaded. Also team damage is sometimes yikes.
Between Frontline and new Steel Hunter, there almost isn't a reason to play standard battles anymore. Frontline is perfect for chilling with the boys and Steel Hunter is for sweating your ass off.
Your instructional videos are really good, useful for unicums to tomatoes, unlike other content creators who often make content too superficial. You should do this more.
I watched your old guide on Steel Hunter because I *SUCKED*. After watching it, I started to win those matches. I started with the Raven like you recommended, and played it almost exclusively until they nerfed it during the previous incarnation. I branched out to other tanks and found I was able to dominate with ease. I even had one win that I knew you'd have hated me for. It was the final two, me and some other scrub who hadn't watched one of your guides. He was in the Harbinger and I was in the Varyag or whatever that enormous Soviet turd is called. The field of play had closed down into the final little 1x1 area. I was down low in a canal and he was up top on a bridge that crossed the canal. He had no angle on me and was too chicken to go into the red zone for a few seconds so he could get down low with me and try to kill me off. We sat like that for a minute or so then the game field closed in completely. All squares were red. We were both being devoured by the game zone itself. I'm sure he was thinking, "Well, we'll both die here so it's a draw." Wrong. I watched your guide, I was armed with knowledge, and I popped my healing circle. I sat there getting healthier while the actual GAME murdered this man. I knew you would be disgusted. It was one of my proudest moments in WoT.
Steel hunter also doesnt require any grinding or purchasing premiums in your garage to use in the mode which is good for those who happen to jump from account to account 😉
the best way and the only way to make the consumable score go green is to bring it back to basic: let every tank have every ability, just like how the 2019 version did it. doing this and the balancing issues will solve itself out - trap is no longer a Raven trademark (Raven is no longer the noob friendly tank); landmines will no longer be exclusive to Varyags, acid shots and lightinings for everyone. in fact, they can just copy and paste the entirety of the 2019's consumables set lists into Evolution, call it a day and it's still gonna work just fine.
I want to comment about something a lot of people probably never heard about or probably forgot. In 2018, there was a battle royal mode that predates the original Steel Hunter, I don't remember what it was called, but it was a battle royal with selected tech tree tanks with drops with huge custom maps. Just a little trivia.
is there any footage of anyone playing it? I thought i was a battle royale vet of wot becuase not many people really even know about steel hunter 2019 lol. That would be VERY INTERESTING to see though. WAIT, are you talking about the one gamemode that was out on the sandbox where you can like collect drops and you`d get your tanks and complteely different ones as well,QB has made a video on that. If that`s what your talking about. It was on Nebulburg,and it was shortly released after 1.0 graphics update. If im right then this is literally the hidden prototype steel hunter.
@@zondazerda2230 hey dude i don`t understand what chems said about the steel hunter on the RU server. Didn`t the ruskis already migrate to the EU server becuase of the war in Ukraine? I have a european account and i don`t see 24/7 steel hunter. The RU server doesn`t even exist anymore i don`t think
A very fun introduction to this game mode was the earliest iteration back in 2018 in which you were just a wz-5a or e50m exc. I liked that kind of battle royale, because it was a very smooth change from normal randoms
Consumable CD reduction is what truly made me WANT to use my consumables versus other iterations where you had to hoard the meager handful you were given through the course of the match. EVERYONE gets the funny ball now.
I agree the arlequin's double gun is kinda funny to just plop ~1000 into some poor sop, BUT ricochets and not penetrations make it super annoying, most of my wins with it were mid 10k games, all my anti tank machine gun/derp games were, lowest ~13k and highest 17k
Chems thank you so much for making this guide video. IMMEDEATLY after watching this and taking notes i started getting SO MUCH BETTER. Before i used to use the crappy heavies. Now im using the Bi Lang and got 2 victories in a row. with the bottom path and derp gun. This gamemode really is the best gamemode of world of tanks, anyone who disagrees has a skill issue. PERRIOD. NO HATE COMMENTS.
im so high with my guy here, and we just watched this vid all the way thru we wanna say Chems you make very good videos we are going to watch some more rn. thanks man...
I've had nothing but success with the arlequin double gun. It works well with a hit and run playstyle, and kicks ass in the lategame. If you can get 2 other peolle to fight each other when theres only 3 or 4 people left, then you can just third party them immediately. I've had a solo winrate around 70% with arlequin double gun.
30:28 On the RU server they changed it and there is cooldown reduction and AP ect. 24/7 (but with the next update the heavys gets their health back and there is 360° cone) but almost all the other tanks will get a health buff as well
Yes, yes, and yes. Awesome video, chems. Best gamemode in the World of Tanks. Easily the best. I have played this gamemode to death, so I didn't learn much from this, but it was great to hear someone else talk about all these tactics. I have a winrate of about 20%, but mainly because I don't sweat to much and am always trying to break records, rather than win. I employ all the same strategies as you, but my aim is worse, my reaction time is worse, and I can't handle pressure as well. I once got 17 kills with my platoonmate in the platoon mode. You and I should platoon one day. I reckon we could get 20!
Bro you are the greatest TH-camr on this platform, because you dropped reference on one of the biggest CZ/SK rapper Viktor Sheen in 13:09, who is known by his bars, sound, vocals and adaptability to beats.
We need a video explaining all the quiet game mechanics/ things that were changed that players who weren't there during the change don't know about. For example, the credit modifiers for different tiers. I didn't know that existed until a while ago.
As someone who hasn't played wot in a long time (war thunder player), this guide was really indepth and helpful. Steel hunter is definitely the best mode and the only thing i occasionally return to wot for.
Came back to wot a week ago to see its state. I quit it 6 years ago, because of gold spam that basically removed armor mechanic for those who have money to donate. It’s all still the same
Some people in my clan think that going into the red zone is instadeath and I can't convince them to get stuff from the zone, it's very frustrating, when teammates handicap your victory by not knowing mechanics.
Thank you for the educating video chems. I honestly had a lot of fun playing the steel hunter, definitely a nice refresher, and quite frankly, I think I perform much better in this mode than in the usual arcade battles. Now idk how points are calculated after the game, but I think the win brings a lot of points, so for me it works best if I try to be passive early and then start picking up fights after I've upped tiers, but I think this really comes down to personal preferences, which only further supports that Steel Hunter is ultimately better than the pubs.
You are dropping such a banger videos. I love them all. I even texted you on discord about the "rigged" video, which I found amazing. Sadly idk if you blocked me or changed your settings about who can send you msgs xd Ty chems for another banger video
this is kinda a random question but what is your fav gamemodes that have been availible in wot chems/guys? my top 5 favorites: 5.frontline,2019-Present 4.order of war,2022 3.Road to berlin,2020 2. Soccerball,2018 1.The originial steel hunter,2019 May the t49 and red dawn derp autoloaders and the flammerschwert 1200 dmg gun rest in piece
I believe that in general you overvalue equality in the matchmaking. SBMM will just result in sweats throwing on purpose so they can play against bots. And even without smurfs equal teams lead to more stress to perform and less "great games" as the opponents will be a lot better too. Nevermind new players learning absolutely nothing by making the same stupid mistakes and not getting punished by the equally bad players on the enemy team. SBMM is fine for a ranked system that actively counteracts smurfs, but not for a casual game like WOT
Play the 430u line, you skip t9 stock grind, you get to play super balanced tankies in random. Created equally fair as other meds, no op stuff. Solve problems, drink vodka
chems is the only world of tanks youtuber (apart from jingles) that can make me laugh however something that i like about chems in particular is that he is a chad, he has a great sense of humor and isnt one of those youtubers who gets offended easily and cant take a joke so thank you chems for bringing us some good world of tanks gameplay and informative videos. just world wot youtubers and that will explain everything
Chems, wasn't there one steel hunter season with 5 tanks, (Walkire, Herbringer, Raven, Arlequin and Varyag), this chart only shows when there were only 3 or 8
Basically nothing at distance, but once it get close. Be prepared that your health will melt very quickly... Honestly quite an interesting unique upgrade for this mod. Especially if you use fast tank for this kind of gun.
Hey! Thanks Chems, looking to get back for a while after my exam period is done (currently doing 3 projects and sleeping just 4-6 h so sadge for now). Will def save to my wot - tutorials videos (next to QBs? :P )
These videos are what i love most about Chems. He lets some critical information out about gameplay that you have no clue, which gives you the ultimate shit.
I dont know if I am tripping but the steel hunter I remember was a Tier 10 only battle royale where repair depots exist to compensate for the long fights. I only got to experience it once with my old IS-7, when it still had that erect gun.
I like Steel Hunter. I kinda liked it more without the respawn mechanic, but I dont mind having a backup life, can just play more aggro. But it doesnt feel quite as exciting to play.
your truly not THE CC unless you have the MOST haters, that's the true testaments as to the magnitude and magnificence of the CC's level.....liiiikkkeee.....Chems!
I'd like to mention the pre-SH battle royale mode from 2018, where you were basicly playing just a wz 5a or e50m. It was a lot of fun to me and it was a very smooth change from normal randoms. What do you think?
I love using the double gun on the arlequin its amazing but maybe thats just me, would be easy back to back dubs with it as the high tier hits for 1k which people don't expect also my highest damage games where with the arlequin I think many above 15k and I think I managed to get 19k once with like 10 kills so I would say try the double gun out for yourself I thought it was trash too at one point till I gave it a try.
for the teaming part: i once had about 6 players just focus me, and they didn't team. Just like vultures, the steel hunter shitters really want their kills
“Ultimate world of tanks” is what I sometimes call steel hunter
based.
true@@faridabboud5757
A bit like how Etree is ultimet tenk destrojer
Imagine the next tank being a radio tank that will be the worst but have a superior radio
fair enough honestly
I dont get why chems gets so much hate, he is the only creator that makes these types of videos
I’m extremely toxic
@@chems and racist. and funny. I'm not gonna be a worshipper tho.
@@withered8022the “racism” is part of the act
@@chemsgrahhh its because of the premiers !!
@@chems based
The rant is on spot. I've essentially got tired of maxing out the same path
honestly I completely agree, modes other than 15v15 are so much fun, problem is they don't come around to often and when they do, they don't stay for very long
I am somewhat enjoying playing tier 6 Strongholds with my clan of noobs, but the whole Strongholds system could use a touch up. I would like for it to be like Onslaught (not with abilities) meaning that we could pick our tank after the map is loaded. Also team damage is sometimes yikes.
Between Frontline and new Steel Hunter, there almost isn't a reason to play standard battles anymore. Frontline is perfect for chilling with the boys and Steel Hunter is for sweating your ass off.
1st tip, dont play this "game"
Lol
True
From where did this come from?
I've been a happier man ever since I followed this advice
Agree
chems forgot to say but,turn the music on to max

You got us Chems, it was the ‘Ultimate world of tanks’ guide, not ‘ultimate world of tanks guide’. Banger as always
huge difference there
This is gonna be a good one I can feel it
Keep it up Chems! 🔥

46:58 and mechanic from leviatan event - more turrets and guns

If I wanted to run around gathering glowing balls of light to gain magic powers - I'd be playing PacMan.

im so high with my guy here, and we just watched this vid all the way thru we wanna say Chems you make very good videos we are going to watch some more rn. thanks man...
HES IS TOXIIIIC!!!
He's based.
calling out people scrolling away when hearing steel hunter is a stroke of genius
"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play"

12:50 another big thing with acid shot is that it has highly increased pen, so you almost never get a non pen with it.
6:54 I never go with top speed. It's always better to have dynamics. Because top speed won't get you that much actual top speed.
Yes, yes, and yes. Awesome video, chems. Best gamemode in the World of Tanks. Easily the best.

Nope
War Thunder is literally the same lmao
Up until 23:55 All basics... :)
You can skip it.
Im only 15 minutes in this video and now I think that I understand as much as Chems. Now I want to play Steel hunter.
as a beginner wot player this video helped me get 9 kills and 13k damage on my very first steel hunter game, very nice
As someone who hasn't played wot in a long time (war thunder player), this guide was really indepth and helpful. Steel hunter is definitely the best mode and the only thing i occasionally return to wot for.

2:27 In steel hunter you have to pay 10k for tank repair
That's like tier 6 repair costs

As a steel hunter tournaments enjoyer thats a great guide how to dominate on this mode with great descriptions of tanks to use

Old Crossout videos when?
i was extatic when i read the vid title but than instantly clicked off when i realised its not what it says it is ty for getting my hopes up

Around 33:00 Chems becomes rapper when hes getting 3rd partied 3 times
Gigachad commander teaches us how to become a gigachad 🎉
Double barrel on arlequin used to be good, but they nerfed it to be obsolete
good video, im gonna apply all this stuff when it comes back... hopefully the mode wont be trash when it comes back
STILL HUNTER IS FOR ABOUT 26 ENTHUSIASTS REMAINING ON THE NA SERVERS. ABOUT 3 OF THEM ARE JAJAJA CHIMPANZEES.
You forgot one other funny mechanic they might add, the halloween secondary gun.
Now I can imagine Walkure getting the flamethrower gun and with turbo being a menace to fight against at close range
Basically nothing at distance, but once it get close. Be prepared that your health will melt very quickly...
Honestly quite an interesting unique upgrade for this mod. Especially if you use fast tank for this kind of gun.

Best WoT video ever made
you realy should check out nidin gameplay in steelhunter, its like he dont feel the enemy at all
I like Steel Hunter. I kinda liked it more without the respawn mechanic, but I dont mind having a backup life, can just play more aggro. But it doesnt feel quite as exciting to play.
can you truly design a map that are not "corridors" for tanks who cannot jump, hover, teleport, or be like spiderman???
Imagine pubs being balanced as steel hunter, and the problem is we get steel hunter every now and than, they should make it a permanent event.
17:01
small error, the detect range radio up cooldown stays the same
Good ideas, honestly! Your prediction for the upcoming Steel Hunter seem very fun and, most importantly, balanced.
Huragan is my fav by far, it was since beggining
back then , we had to grind for the t22 in steel hunter
no that would be the pre-steel hunter BR, the rampage mode

man chems with the back to back bangers holyyy, gonna make wot look like a good game lol
Great guide Chems. I'd love to see more about playing random battles. I'm an average player who definitely could do with something like that.
Arlequin - best g̶i̶r̶l̶ SH tank!
I'd like to mention the pre-SH battle royale mode from 2018, where you were basicly playing just a wz 5a or e50m. It was a lot of fun to me and it was a very smooth change from normal randoms. What do you think?
I love using the double gun on the arlequin its amazing but maybe thats just me, would be easy back to back dubs with it as the high tier hits for 1k which people don't expect also my highest damage games where with the arlequin I think many above 15k and I think I managed to get 19k once with like 10 kills so I would say try the double gun out for yourself I thought it was trash too at one point till I gave it a try.
Man I love the arlequin double guns. Alpha damage my beloved... non meta sure but I just love it yk
2019 steelhunter with the american he autoloader was almost as fun as doing climbs in pugs
for the teaming part:
i once had about 6 players just focus me, and they didn't team. Just like vultures, the steel hunter shitters really want their kills
Thanks man
chems im stuck at 92% moe make more map guides because i am dogshit
Heavy are not bad
Crutching on steel hunter to enjoy world of tanks... The mode that has none of the tanks i actually want to play... Is the maximum copium strat
They should make steel hunter permanent, but not at the cost of ruining it
Great video. Makes me wanna play Steel Hunter now, even though I know I'm going die immediately
Maybe I won't since I saw this
the outro 🔥
Bro, you're always right!
How would you combine the Arlequin guns and hulls?
Would love to see you do tier lists for tiers 7-10
