i no longer play wot but still love watching you Claus, i stopped around 2018 ish. started in 2013. love the commentary. I watch so I don't have to play. Miss ole 2013's wot. Have a GREAT DAY! Warthunder is my problem child now!
This is the very reason Claus recommends going down this line. The IS-7 will never be allowed to fall behind due to power creep. It will continue to get little buffs as needed to keep it competitive.
The Lowe was my first premium. I used it for clan battles back in versions 5.something up through like 6.1 or 6.3 which was forever ago. It had the best crew of any of my tanks. Since I stopped playing in 2014 or 2015 it still does.
For once I disagree with you Claus. Despite my slow drift to switching this game off once I sold all my tanks, starting with T10s (I must have sold at least 30 so far), I'm still holding on to my IS7, not because it's good but because it was the first T10 heavy I got many years ago. But it's a frustrating tank that sometimes hits everything you throw at it and sometimes all shots ghost or bounce on everything, no matter the ammo used. And when fighting other heavies, forget anything but gold rounds.
@@ClausKellerman I think it was the only tier 10 available during beta but I can't remember that far back. I do remember our entire IT department playing the beta and griding to tier 10.
True, the IS-77 never changed. Because they do not change a big crap tank. It is often the first tier 10 people grind, and this abomination cannot be changed, because any mod would make it better. And that is not what WOT does, NOT WANTED. I was in a battle with my 777 perfectly hull down, and the IS-7 opponent. I on AP silver, he all gold. He could not hurt my turret, but I shot his always he came out. The IS-7 gun never hits what you want, only by lottery. It pens nothing without gold. Long range shots over 200 m? OMG. The armor works sometimes, but when the opponent has gold too, the IS-7 is the fastest dead tank. It is a nightmare down from the tier 9 predecessor, not up. They should swap them. Pure lottery tank and gold only (GOLD, not APCR silver).
Hey Claus - NO diatribe from you today. Thanks for not only showing two enjoyable games but also providing a careful and thoughtful analysis of how to use each tank effectively, i.e., play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. I continue to be amazed at how many WoT players (presumably mostly male) have forgotten "The Rule of Tools" - pick the right tool for the job. If these same guys see their girlfriends pick up a wrench to hammer in a nail, all hell breaks loose. But jump into WoT, and these same guys want to drive their thin-skinned, no-armor TDs or fast Lights straight to the front lines and choke points and duke it out with the heavies. So - keep coming with the good fight(s)!
IHi Claus I love my IS7 its a fun tank to play ive never had the Lowe but after this video i think ill get one . keep the videos coming I learn so much from them
Claus, when we going to see some of your play again? Loved the series where you played the tank that killed you, or perhaps you grind one of the new lines for our amusement
11:32 this shot is the crucial thing about Lowe in combination with this bit of knowledge 13:36 that you cannot have the HP equipment and Vents and Vertical stabilizer and rammer of course, while the matchmaking will pit you against BZ-176 and Skoda T56. So IS-7 has the speed, the turret armor, the ability to always carry HP, rammer and whatever as 3rd equipemnt and its worst enemies the Chieftain and Obj. 279e have been nerfed. In my opinion power creepiness resistance level of IS-7 is 9/10 and Lowe is like 6/10 maybe even Lower. 🤣
The Lowe got an alpha buff on console to either 360-390 I forgot I think it’s 360, def makes it better The reload is still bad but it’s an ancient beast with the highest silver earn in the game with the mutant
nice example i also started not leaveing spaw knowing wg put me in a loseing match its a nice way to farm some damage in the current meta the drawback is the crying teammates
I'm only 40 seconds into the video posting this comment. With the IS-7 in mind and a possible rework of field mods, what if you could get another degree or two of gun depression? Obviously you need to counter balance with dispersion or rate of fire. Imagine an IS-7 or insert tank here with more gun depression for a field mod?
The IS-7 gets a virtually impenetrable turret, trollish armor, buffed out it can go 70 which is faster than all American tanks outside of a LT with turbo. The IS-7 can ram every single tank (outside of the Maus and E100) off the map whenever they want. I can't tell you the amount of times I have been in an E5 and an IS-7 rams me into a wall/cliffside then drive me up the wall and flip me over. It's BS. The gun on that tank should be garbage, but it plays so well that it shouldn't be possible.
So, he actually made 196,250 credits, with 1.5 x for premium and I'm guessing an extra 0.15 multiplier for a credit booster and / or reserve. I don't know why WG shields the amount, when they tell us that premium accounts make 1.5x credits.
There was a time in 2015 that they left the is 4 and it was better than the is 7 and not too long after they left the is 7 and made it great again great videos always though
24:00 ... Russian math! ... no wonder the Soviet Union collapsed, unable to pay their soldiers and sailors, or upkeep their subs and aircraft. They used Russian math IRL and thought they had more Rubles in the bank.
WG issued me a chat ban recently. I never use profanity or insult anyone in chat. I would type this into chat at the end of a losing game: " most are games are about 6 min by DESIGN...stop blaming your fellow players for these stupid blowouts" .
The only way wargaming can rewamp this game is to give all tanks access to the IS-7 ''Sigma'' program... And with everybody hitting their targets dead center... Guess the future game times would be... 3-4 minutes...?
I love your channel and I love your humor, but how many damn times do people have to tell you in these comments that the replays don't include completed missions and other bonuses when calculating how many credits and how much XP you get? It only shows the basic totals but does not show the extra information. So the math isn't wrong it's just incomplete.
I think it does give you credit for completing missions. Having looked, I think it doesn't give you the extra credits for having a premium account. As they're both the same number.
Ah the Good old Russian Numbers Game Da, it's just like playing Russian Roulette you have 5 out of 6 Chance of winning & 1 out of 6 Chance you Die, Da life is such it was not meant to be, one must Suffer for a Long time before these things can be enjoyed Comrades.
Secret stats? The way I see it,. WG has more secrets in programming than anthing else ,.ha Ha Ha!,. huh? As to the IS -7 it's simple,.. Great Russian tank,.. must always stay Great! ,. Da! Yuri always great!
Ordinary promotion from WOT tips !! (Haha 3-6-8000 Damage) you don't get 1/4th of what you see here in real game!!! These bastards have a modified mod for promotions to see they are still in the top ranks, what he shoots is a hit!! if a tank hits him.. then a rebound... I guarantee that you won't have it that way!! and it will be the opposite on mil. % and besides... don't buy premium or premium tanks!!! it's useless anyway, the server determines the damage,,..determines victory and defeat .. If you upload min Damage to the opponent, the server will automatically flip and give Victory/ if High damage to the opponent - it is automatically Defeat.. You have a tank of 8 levels and you are approximately at the bottom of the team or on the bottom team composition, stacked from level 10 = It's automatically a win because you have no chance to shoot down Level 10 that is: min. damage = victory.!!! If you are on the highest rungs in the lineup, e.g. team level 8 to level 6 , Automatically = high damage to the opponent and you automatically = Defeat!! Server. BLOCKS....visibility, enemy detections, opponent damage, you can just do whatever you want :D !! it's wasted money!! You actually have more losses than wins in the game!! Ask yourself another question.. how many times have you recorded what you see here? (it's easy to play if you're an admin with a good game mode!), and this thieving company gives replays like this every day ... they're just lying to you and fooling you it's a great game, waiting for you to adjust the game mode to the minimum so that you can put real money into it!! Also note that they offer only premium or 10 level tanks, where you have huge losses in the game even during premium, especially if you use gold-i (premium cartridges)!!! , for 1 battle minus up to 8-20,000 cash... if not more... wt.
So, let me understand: isn't WG supposed to be a Ukrainian company? Aren't they are at war with the Russkies? So why are Russian vehicles still enjoying a bias?
IS-7 has been nerfed. Back when they took the tall machine gun off the top. Somewhere when the T-30 identified itself as a TD. I remember people crying about it, while they were driving across the map destroying everything. Clan wars was an arty or two, Maybe a couple 54's an the rest IS-7's. You know the good ole days.
i no longer play wot but still love watching you Claus, i stopped around 2018 ish. started in 2013. love the commentary. I watch so I don't have to play. Miss ole 2013's wot. Have a GREAT DAY! Warthunder is my problem child now!
"Carry the 3" makes me laugh every time!
It never gets old😆
I love when Claus does Russian math lol
IS-7 only survived tho since it kept getting little buffs

Löwe, my first premium, has some fdupp sigma for sure, even with maxed out everything.
Love these documentaries! 💗

and the gold rounds suck a.. too
The most blatant example of WTF is indeed the "Russian math" at the end.
it's replay data not showing mission reward
Claus, you should play your IS-7, heck, 5 games, and show us your best.
Claus, I enjoyed morning coffee along with your excellent explanations of strength and strategies for the IS-7 and Lowe!
Hardening, Turbo, Vents/Rammer + Lowe = Beauty.
IS-7 was my first tier 10.
Same as, I’m sure I was terrible with it all that time ago.😅
good choice.
@@ClausKellerman I think it was the only tier 10 available during beta but I can't remember that far back. I do remember our entire IT department playing the beta and griding to tier 10.
how this tank just casually bounces shots with its mobility and so on is insane but combine that with it reverse speed is just OP.
That second game was a nail biter. Thanks Claus.
Yeah... Just play the IS-7... Focus on crew skills and just ignore other lines.... I wonder why I haven't played in weeks...

IS7 has never been nerfed because I never bought it. I will buy it tomorrow....
Nerf next week then?
sorry for you ...
Hope you didn't. Claus is wrong, the IS-7 got power-creeped a long time ago.
I just love how after all his buffs for the gun his green circle is still almost to the white one.

Please do a video of your Alaska trip.
IHi Claus I love my IS7 its a fun tank to play ive never had the Lowe but after this video i think ill get one . keep the videos coming I learn so much from them
it was 107F here yesterday, 105 predicted today. I hate august in Texas.
How no one wasn't able to notice the first result screen of LOWE...😮😮😮😮
The T-32 is also a wonderful hull down tank too, similar to this Loewe. And how many maps can you use that? A few only, the rest is DEATH early
They have either increase penetration too much or they nerfed the turret because that tank's turret gets the cheeks penned so easily.
Claus, when we going to see some of your play again? Loved the series where you played the tank that killed you, or perhaps you grind one of the new lines for our amusement
lol band aid "IF IT'S NOT BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT!!" then DED he's DED I'm glad you scheduled games while you're out there in the wilderness Thank You :)
every time when you take the pencil and the paper lol
I have the T54D it's an interesting thing. WG does the good game 75+ crap games when I play it thing.
I love that MATH, exactly :D :D

🤣
One thing these very good results have in common: No Arty.
AY UP CLAUS
the way the IS7 aim circle was moving is not normal
The Lowe got an alpha buff on console to either 360-390 I forgot I think it’s 360, def makes it better
The reload is still bad but it’s an ancient beast with the highest silver earn in the game with the mutant
I loved the KhabyLame reference at the end! LOL
nice example i also started not leaveing spaw knowing wg put me in a loseing match its a nice way to farm some damage in the current meta the drawback is the crying teammates

Russian BIAS anyone?
Leopard 1 from the video 3 days ago, all shots deviated from center.
IS-7 no deviation, Get bent WG.
Haha, I haven't heard anyone say get bent in a long time.
Get bent? Got a feeling you're English or British. We used to say that in school back in the 90s.
@@singncarpenter6270 am I showing my age?
Awesome Teaching again today Claus and it is Beautiful here in Nova Scotia today Claus.
@@PorkusPieWhat has it got to do with you?
checking out the last guys credits ... that amount is what he was short me thinks premium tanks get a multiplier of -1 to their total

I'm going to go back and watch some predebuff Claus cause gamed
are there any other tanks without penalties?
The Russian heavy line is always a good bet. Easy to play as a new player and you'll train up crew to put in the new OP premium .....
So, he actually made 196,250 credits, with 1.5 x for premium and I'm guessing an extra 0.15 multiplier for a credit booster and / or reserve. I don't know why WG shields the amount, when they tell us that premium accounts make 1.5x credits.
keep in mind he is allways moving
Great video 😂
IS-7 is still a top tank when in the Right Hands.
VERY situational..
I fear Yuri also assigns the RNG to each players account.
There was a time in 2015 that they left the is 4 and it was better than the is 7 and not too long after they left the is 7 and made it great again great videos always though
Buffed the is4... Sorry
Was auto text blah left = buff
24:00 ... Russian math!
... no wonder the Soviet Union collapsed, unable to pay their soldiers and sailors, or upkeep their subs and aircraft. They used Russian math IRL and thought they had more Rubles in the bank.
Remember guys always carry the 3
Literally 80% of all shots the IS7 took would be impossible with most other tanks
WG issued me a chat ban recently. I never use profanity or insult anyone in chat. I would type this into chat at the end of a losing game: " most are games are about 6 min by DESIGN...stop blaming your fellow players for these stupid blowouts" .
Math!
The only way wargaming can rewamp this game is to give all tanks access to the IS-7 ''Sigma'' program...
And with everybody hitting their targets dead center... Guess the future game times would be... 3-4 minutes...?
And yet the IS7 on the other team is a muppet?
in skill4ltu words, get out of the way triangle. (second game)
Russian math at the end tho 😂
I’m delighted when I’m against Lowe’s, 90% that have it are so so bad, usually it’s tier 2 players who stole daddy’s 💳 , 44% winrate bot stats.
It is not true: IS-7 was buffed.
How's the Obj 277?
It's good. Really bad hull armor and the turret is much easier to pen, but the good is smooth.
IS7 ... soviet idiotproofness since 2012
If you nerf every potential opponent tank why should you buff the IS7.

Russian maths ... why do they always carry the three?
is 7 is still a good tank but unfortunately is4 can't say the same 😢
Don't do Russian, "Against Stalin!"
Claus, to have a change can you say at the start of one your videos, "Hey guys how ya doing, hope you're having a s**t day"?
Happy algorithm comment

Fun exciting game

I can't find it your super avg. Buddy can't find it
