Hey everyone few things to add. 1) Keep in mind that if you convert Free EXP you're doing it at the worst time possible with no discount and importantly if you don't win the tank you'll not be able to get your gold back. 2) This tank will likely go for 300k+ free exp, it's likely to be a vehicle that only those with deep pockets or those who have already "completed" the game by unlocking each tank will obtain. 3) The 3rd game ended as a win, sorry I didn't show the result! Good luck with your bids!
I will definitely bid on it as the tank looks fun and very unique. I have 275k free xp laying around I will probably convert about 70k xp so I have about 345k. That will cost me a bit more than 10 Euros and I guess that will definitely be enough to get it. If I wanted to I could still convert nearly 100k xp but thats xp from my T10s which I wanted to use for field mods so I probably dont want to touch that. The competitive bid just raised to 320k xp so lets see how much it will be around midnight CET and then I will bid and will see if I got it when I wake up the next day. :)
@@christopherestes6760 Soviets could afford multiple experimental tanks during and after WWII. That's why I kinda hate all of the bombastic German experiments, like Tiger IIs, Jagdtigers or Maus, because they should've build Pz IVs instead, to save resources when they were losing the war.
"with 303mm of penetration on the standard rounds, I think this tank will be really great for the free to play players" I really don't think any of them will have 150, 000 free xp sitting around for the minimum bid on this thing.
@@ANGEL_LUCIFER you literally have videos uploaded from a few days ago that shows you have less than 30k. Convertable exp isnt free exp. If you spend 36k gold to convert it, then youre not a f2p. Otherwise, do you lot get off on lying to strangers on the internet?
on console it has the same gun sounds as a 120-122mm kind of sound. its mainly becuase all of the gun sounds(at least in console) is different, 130mm guns make 120mm sounds, 150-155 makes 130mm sounds, 100mm makes 90mm sounds and 105mm makes 100mm gun sounds
Looks like a relatively high skill-cap, competitive vehicle, without being overpowered. Wished WG would release more regular top tier tanks like this, instead of the current meta.
@@Smash_RC I don't have the tank, nor did I play against it, but the low DPM and mediocre armor at best, including the turret, makes me think that it can be consistently defeated. Sure, if you allow it to poke every 15 seconds and shave off 750HP from your tank, you're gonna have a bad day, but that sounds more like a "you" problem to me 😆
This Tank got Buffed on release on Console, for example it got alpha increase from 750 to 850 (Just like the T110E4 on Console which also got an armour buff (yeah......)). On Console it's worth 22,500 gold or 450,000 Free XP but got mine in a Campaign/Season.
On console all of our 850 alpha TDs already had the alpha to begin with I'm pretty sure, but that e4 armor buff was straight up ludicrous and now they're thinking of buffing it again (look on the official wotc discord if you don't believe me)

In the first game, I think part of the reason that you got shot so much in the rangefinder weak spot, was that it was the only major part of your tank visible over the top of the EBR wreck.
As far as I can see, people probably expect the turret to be very strong, being Russian and all. When they figure out the turret is not as strong, it will probably be way more difficult to do well in the tank

Last minute dpm nerf? It had the same dpm since atleast 2017... Only last minute thing was buff to shell velocity, gun handling and 100 extra hitpoints.

Tomato here. Got this on the Asia server and i absolutely love it. I think it has a really low skill floor but a higher than average skill ceiling. Great for tomatoes and unicums alike.
Object 268 versions 2 and 3 were earlier stages of the 4 and 5. Similar styles, but with some minor tweaks. I believe the wargaming wiki has info on them if you go to the 268 page and scroll down to historical info
3:50 Because I hear it pretty often from you, I just wanted to say that a rotation device decreases your dispersion during tank and turret traverse but it also increases your tank and turret traverse so that the effects cancel out. Your dispersion during turret and tank traverse will be the same but you'll just traverse quicker, because the faster you traverse, the bigger your reticle becomes. I have that information from the official WoT channel where they explained what the new equipment devices do.
On Console this thing is disgustingly overpowered, but it was buffed twice if compared to PC, so honestly in the current state, it won't be as broken as on our version. It is basically a Grille 15 that is immune to HE
Ok everyone, there is a reason Qbaby and pros are good at this game. Pay attention to him looking at his mini map. He's always reading the map. It's one of the hardest skills to pick up, but the most important one. It's like checking your rearview mirror while you're driving, always have your awareness up.
On console wot this tank is available for (I think) one year and it has 850 alpha and it is still played often and at leat in my humble opinion is not too overpowered and fits well in the game...
@@codyfrench7668 but as it turnes out there are very small differences in some points... E.g. this tank is pretty the same but the alpha damage. But most of the tume you are right to say that you can't compare those two games
It’s a bit different on console. The turret armor is significantly better and it’s turret traverse is much faster. Also all standard TD guns do 850 alpha unlike their counterparts on pc that do 750 just like how console arty is still unchanged and now beyond broken with the global dispersion reduction by equipment/skills/consumable. Console has been fucked since 6.0
We don’t have the bond equipment and all on console we just have normal base equipment. And I have the OBJECT 268 5. At 4.28RPM With 850 alpha. Great dpm for versatile TD.
They released this tank on console a little while ago for their season pass thing and a lot of people got it for free. They seem to have released it on pc as it’s console release state since they buffed the hell out of it on console (better turret armor, turret traverse, gun handling, and better ground resistance) and now it’s top 5 tier X’s in the game.
i think its pretty similar to the 114 sp ranked reward tank, evem though i think this one is better because it has better armor (not really good but also not complete trash), more speed and nearly 100 pen more, therefor gunhandling is worse and i believe a bit less camo but thats about it
I don't know if anyone remembers, but QB featured a replay of this tank back in 2016 or 17 from the Chinese server. Judging by the stats, the tank didn't seem to change all these years.
This tank looks exactly like the soviet version of the 114 SP2 tier X chinese reward tank from ranked but more like a “brawler” style. Honestly I don’t think that this will be op but damn it has more camo than like a Grille 15.
@@Taskuli12 I have the Grille and I hate it. I barely do damage in mine because it seems like I am spotted no matter what I do. In addition to that, my shots virtually never land where I aim them. Shooting at the side of the E100 at 300m and my shots will fly over the tank about 80% of the time. Then I'll hit and it'll bounce.
On console it does 850 damage with 303 pen on standard rounds and 395 pen on premium rounds which is insane and view range is 390 base before any equipment or crew
I think you have to play it like a pseudo medium tank. Give it coated optics, rotation mechanism and grousers, reduce its top speed and reverse (which it can't reach anyway) to give it camo and Dpm and use its decent mobility and camo to go to flanking positions with bushes and throw 750 alpha dmg bombs. Its armor prevents it from playing a pseudo heavy role imo. It will however be able to deal with most medium tanks if it all ins them.
We've had this tank on console for a bit. Except ours has 850 alpha and we can equip a crew skill for 10% reload boost. I think mine is sitting around 3,770 dpm. The armor is not great but the tank can be enjoyable. Personally the poor gun handling is what affects my play.
I've never had much of an issue with handling. I play the tank as a support heavy, popping out from behind the heavies and smacking them in the face then backing up. It gives off a decent fear factor with the big gun
One thing that is interesting about this tank is its gun's sound while shooting. Why does is sound like IS-3's 122mm while packing 750 dmg like Grille 15's 150mm?
As avid xbox player we have had the 268v5 for about a year. It is a hell of a killer at distance but hull is a bit weak and you need to upgrade ammo rack or your gonna hit lidded all the time. My high roll ap shots are around 900 avg damage
If you poke and shoot from corners slightly angled or angled at 45 degrees like you would with a object 257 it’ll bounce a lot SO many random bounces in it, trust me
And there are those of us who have been banking experience on all tanks since the announcement of the Yoh tanks and used the conversion discount a couple of weeks ago to exchange that for free experience. I'm hoping that I have enough free experience to both buy this and still move up the Yoh tank tech tree with alacrity
Post bidding, on NA servers only 4500 were available, about 8800 bids, 405000 was the last competitive bid that I saw, I bid 437100 and got the tank! I am very happy as I converted a lot of free xp when it was 35xp per gold so I only had to convert 200k on the normal 25xp per gold and I do not regret my decision. Curious to learn what the final EU numbers are like.
On Xbox. We have has the object 268 5 for awhile now. On console the tank destroyer nerf that happen to tank destroyers long time ago that change damage from 850 to 750 hasn’t happened. Therefore on Xbox it has the 850 alpha. With better rate of fire. The reload time in only like 1 second different between the normal 268 v 268 5.
Yeah saw that tank yesterday, the dude called it a TD disguised as a heavy tank I was playing IS-3 and there was 3 t10s 2 were 268 4s and there was 1 268 5.
Hi QB! Did watch this for the first time today! I'm thinking about to buy it for Bonds. But I can't find any in deeper test of this TD as you mention should come after the preview. Maybe do that now when it's in the bond store. Best regards from Sweden.
If it turns out anything like the OBJ 268 V5 on xbox, it's one of the strongest destroyers in the game. Decent turret, incredibly sneaky & a good enough reload to rip apart anything that sits in front of you. It's just a sneaky T 10 with a 268 gun. Definitely high skill cap vehicle. On xbox, you can grab it for 9k gold (315k free xp) if you wait for convert xp sale & wait for tier 10 premium sale after that.
Wargaming is selling tier 10 premiums. It also doesn't help that in a recent micropatch they added a replica wt Auf e100 named the wt 12 into the game files. I sense something truly terrible about to enter these auctions
They arent premiums though because they dont have the credit earnings, reward tanks which excludes them from ranked and credit earnings, you do however get a crew trainer... as for WT12 thats only available on the chinese server where they already had WT12... since chinese server is now getting regular main train patches again.
@@Covenant-R they dont have the wt 12, they have the wt auf e100 P. this wt 12 is a new addition to the game files ALONGSIDE the wt auf e100 P meaning its a seperate new vehicle.
QB: Gosh my rate of fire sucks @19:17 WG: Introducing a 122 TM - who's armor and gun handling knows no bounds! Player: What about that 17 second base reload? WG: Did I mention it has 8 degrees of gun depression? Player: .... We feel you QB... We feel you
after watching you play it I was tempted but with the converting ratio I am less inclined especially being that It would only be used in randoms for me, but if I did get it close to minimum price it would be nice. Just that the 155k free xp would also allow me to get the super conq without buying the Tier 8 or 9 first as I already have all the fragments for the conq and Sconq with the Caern unlocked already.
This thing has been on console for over a year now and it's an absolute beast. It's one of the best tier X tanks in the game in my opinion. The hull armor isn't the best but it has a great turret. Fun to play, annoying to play against. And now that is on PC, I wouldn't be surprised if the Chieftain Mk.6 is one of the offered tanks in this event
The Obj 268 5 is actually already on console and on console it is actually one of the best if not the best TD in the game. Because on console it has a better turret that can bounce also T10 and it has a better dpm and also 850 alpha damage.
Wg really make one of the bizarre tanks to date i swear..i even doubt that most of the tanks in the game are really existing via blueprint,real battle,prototype etc
Got the tank. Have played 10 battles. After about 30 shots I have yet to score even the average damage with gold (supposed to be average of 750 (562-938)). Best hit was 713 (point blank into side of a JagdPanther Teir 9) with most in the 600's and a few in the upper 500's. It seems WOT nerfed the gun after the auction ended. Caveat emptor, guys.
On console this thing is largely better Stat wise and just in general my best games for tds was in this thing a full camo crew in this thing is really reliable on console really hard to spot on certain maps.
Finally they're all complete variant of Obj-268 a heavy plus 3 types of TD front/rear/360° turret. even though 2 of them are real but ver4 and 5 is a complete blueprint and Data of their origin.
The bad ground resistance means it's only faster than the T110E4 once you unlock that second field mod. But once you do that and have an Off-Road Driving driver, you'll be faster than the E4 even if you don't use a Turbo. Plus having significantly better camo than the E4. Along with slightly better standard pen and accuracy, and a fully rotating turret rather than the E4's half-turret. While the T110E4 has better hull armor and its cupola weakspot is at the back rather than the front of the turret and thus somewhat more hideable. But the E4's cupola is also bigger than the 268 V5's. All in all I think I'd prefer the V5 over the E4. Too bad I didn't have anywhere near enough FXP to bid for it.
There WAS a fully traversable turretet TD from germany... but they freaking threw it out of the window to sell it in probably gold or free exp next year
This tank on console is probably the best tier 10 td in the game because the onlqyq difference between console and pc is the console version has 850 alpha instead of 750
Hey everyone few things to add.

Hi QB, to you recommend the tank to free 2 play players?
instead of bids i read it as idiots 0oxa0xa0oxao wtf i need my coffee
This tank has been in the console version for 2 years now and they just added the Sturmtiger line to the German td line.
I will definitely bid on it as the tank looks fun and very unique. I have 275k free xp laying around I will probably convert about 70k xp so I have about 345k. That will cost me a bit more than 10 Euros and I guess that will definitely be enough to get it. If I wanted to I could still convert nearly 100k xp but thats xp from my T10s which I wanted to use for field mods so I probably dont want to touch that. The competitive bid just raised to 320k xp so lets see how much it will be around midnight CET and then I will bid and will see if I got it when I wake up the next day. :)

It's one of the hardest skills to pick up, but the most important one. It's like checking your rearview mirror while you're driving, always have your awareness up.
I was thinking the same thing. That tank is a fast T-30. Turreted TDs fell so much nicer then others.
On console wot this tank is available for (I think) one year and it has 850 alpha and it is still played often and at leat in my humble opinion is not too overpowered and fits well in the game...
Console is very different, no comparison to it is worthwhile
@@codyfrench7668 but as it turnes out there are very small differences in some points... E.g. this tank is pretty the same but the alpha damage. But most of the tume you are right to say that you can't compare those two games
It’s a bit different on console. The turret armor is significantly better and it’s turret traverse is much faster. Also all standard TD guns do 850 alpha unlike their counterparts on pc that do 750 just like how console arty is still unchanged and now beyond broken with the global dispersion reduction by equipment/skills/consumable. Console has been fucked since 6.0
We don’t have the bond equipment and all on console we just have normal base equipment. And I have the OBJECT 268 5. At 4.28RPM
With 850 alpha. Great dpm for versatile TD.
On the console the 268 V5 is a serious monster. Hull sucks but the turret works great and the gun is nasty.
Quickybaby loves intuition so much that I'm pretty sure he's going to name his baby after it
So he can change it later?
@@runarengja8646 yeah xD
"Ian Chewy Sean Frampton" ... If QB likes Wookiees too, that's a solid option. 🤣
They released this tank on console a little while ago for their season pass thing and a lot of people got it for free. They seem to have released it on pc as it’s console release state since they buffed the hell out of it on console (better turret armor, turret traverse, gun handling, and better ground resistance) and now it’s top 5 tier X’s in the game.
This is in the Bonds shop now, itls it worth the bond cost?
i think its pretty similar to the 114 sp ranked reward tank, evem though i think this one is better because it has better armor (not really good but also not complete trash), more speed and nearly 100 pen more, therefor gunhandling is worse and i believe a bit less camo but thats about it
Don't this this is faster.
*100 more dmg
I don't know if anyone remembers, but QB featured a replay of this tank back in 2016 or 17 from the Chinese server. Judging by the stats, the tank didn't seem to change all these years.
Love the live commentary, keep up the excellent content
This tank looks exactly like the soviet version of the 114 SP2 tier X chinese reward tank from ranked but more like a “brawler” style. Honestly I don’t think that this will be op but damn it has more camo than like a Grille 15.
With almost 100 more pen to boot.
Whats the point of grille now 🥲
@@FlyLeah be a sniper its still like only sniper td whit strv in tier 10 note all tds can snipe but these 2 are specially made for only that.
@@Taskuli12
I have the Grille and I hate it. I barely do damage in mine because it seems like I am spotted no matter what I do. In addition to that, my shots virtually never land where I aim them. Shooting at the side of the E100 at 300m and my shots will fly over the tank about 80% of the time. Then I'll hit and it'll bounce.
On console it does 850 damage with 303 pen on standard rounds and 395 pen on premium rounds which is insane and view range is 390 base before any equipment or crew
got mine for 410,000 NA account. if it wasn't for your video, i wouldn't have checked it out more. Great video info! :)
I just needed the first couple of "Ohh no"s and thats pretty much it :)
I think you have to play it like a pseudo medium tank. Give it coated optics, rotation mechanism and grousers, reduce its top speed and reverse (which it can't reach anyway) to give it camo and Dpm and use its decent mobility and camo to go to flanking positions with bushes and throw 750 alpha dmg bombs. Its armor prevents it from playing a pseudo heavy role imo. It will however be able to deal with most medium tanks if it all ins them.
In the NA server they are offering 4500. As of 10am they were not all accounted for. I'm definitely trying to get this.
This tank is like a TD / Medium hybrid. I think it would be much better played like the T-10, supporting your medium tanks.
A -Tedioum- Tedium, if you will...
We've had this tank on console for a bit. Except ours has 850 alpha and we can equip a crew skill for 10% reload boost. I think mine is sitting around 3,770 dpm. The armor is not great but the tank can be enjoyable. Personally the poor gun handling is what affects my play.
I've never had much of an issue with handling. I play the tank as a support heavy, popping out from behind the heavies and smacking them in the face then backing up. It gives off a decent fear factor with the big gun
One thing that is interesting about this tank is its gun's sound while shooting. Why does is sound like IS-3's 122mm while packing 750 dmg like Grille 15's 150mm?
And surprisingly the Grille has the 2-3 weakest gun of tier 10. It's only savings grace is the fact that it's "accurate."
As avid xbox player we have had the 268v5 for about a year. It is a hell of a killer at distance but hull is a bit weak and you need to upgrade ammo rack or your gonna hit lidded all the time. My high roll ap shots are around 900 avg damage
If you poke and shoot from corners slightly angled or angled at 45 degrees like you would with a object 257 it’ll bounce a lot
SO many random bounces in it, trust me
It has the T-10 hull, no armor at all and horrible to sidescrape against big guns
And there are those of us who have been banking experience on all tanks since the announcement of the Yoh tanks and used the conversion discount a couple of weeks ago to exchange that for free experience. I'm hoping that I have enough free experience to both buy this and still move up the Yoh tank tech tree with alacrity
I've already elited every tank so my free xp is just sitting and waiting for this moment lol
Post bidding, on NA servers only 4500 were available, about 8800 bids, 405000 was the last competitive bid that I saw, I bid 437100 and got the tank! I am very happy as I converted a lot of free xp when it was 35xp per gold so I only had to convert 200k on the normal 25xp per gold and I do not regret my decision. Curious to learn what the final EU numbers are like.
On Xbox. We have has the object 268 5 for awhile now. On console the tank destroyer nerf that happen to tank destroyers long time ago that change damage from 850 to 750 hasn’t happened.
Therefore on Xbox it has the 850 alpha. With better rate of fire. The reload time in only like 1 second different between the normal 268 v 268 5.
I think the introduction of the obj 268v5 is a small hint of a potential universal camo rework.
This tank was expected to be a T9 premium thank god it wasn't, it was always expected to be a beast and now we know that it is a beast
The obj 268 5 is actually on the console version, I've have had it for almost 2 years
This is what I wanted to my 277 to be, not a worse 5a. This feels like a tier 10 t-10. Would have loved to see the 277 with an actually unique gun
Yeah saw that tank yesterday, the dude called it a TD disguised as a heavy tank
I was playing IS-3 and there was 3 t10s 2 were 268 4s and there was 1 268 5.
Hi QB! Did watch this for the first time today! I'm thinking about to buy it for Bonds. But I can't find any in deeper test of this TD as you mention should come after the preview. Maybe do that now when it's in the bond store. Best regards from Sweden.
Obj 268 is the second tier X I have ever 3 marked, I'm looking forward for this tank
If it turns out anything like the OBJ 268 V5 on xbox, it's one of the strongest destroyers in the game. Decent turret, incredibly sneaky & a good enough reload to rip apart anything that sits in front of you. It's just a sneaky T 10 with a 268 gun. Definitely high skill cap vehicle. On xbox, you can grab it for 9k gold (315k free xp) if you wait for convert xp sale & wait for tier 10 premium sale after that.
But where's the Obj. 268 version 2 and 3???
thing that i really love in this video is that washing machine behing you haha
Wargaming is selling tier 10 premiums. It also doesn't help that in a recent micropatch they added a replica wt Auf e100 named the wt 12 into the game files. I sense something truly terrible about to enter these auctions
They arent premiums though because they dont have the credit earnings, reward tanks which excludes them from ranked and credit earnings, you do however get a crew trainer... as for WT12 thats only available on the chinese server where they already had WT12... since chinese server is now getting regular main train patches again.
@@Covenant-R they dont have the wt 12, they have the wt auf e100 P. this wt 12 is a new addition to the game files ALONGSIDE the wt auf e100 P meaning its a seperate new vehicle.
@@heroninja1125 Yeah, i miswrote the nasme on what the already have, doesnt change the fact its only the chinese server...
Why didn't you compare it to the 114 SP2? I guess this one has better armor while the chinese one has better gun handling?
Ya the 114 basically has paper armor but it's gun handling is amazing.
QB: Gosh my rate of fire sucks @19:17
WG: Introducing a 122 TM - who's armor and gun handling knows no bounds!
Player: What about that 17 second base reload?
WG: Did I mention it has 8 degrees of gun depression?
Player: ....
We feel you QB... We feel you
after watching you play it I was tempted but with the converting ratio I am less inclined especially being that It would only be used in randoms for me, but if I did get it close to minimum price it would be nice. Just that the 155k free xp would also allow me to get the super conq without buying the Tier 8 or 9 first as I already have all the fragments for the conq and Sconq with the Caern unlocked already.
This thing has been on console for over a year now and it's an absolute beast. It's one of the best tier X tanks in the game in my opinion. The hull armor isn't the best but it has a great turret. Fun to play, annoying to play against.
And now that is on PC, I wouldn't be surprised if the Chieftain Mk.6 is one of the offered tanks in this event
The Obj 268 5 is actually already on console and on console it is actually one of the best if not the best TD in the game. Because on console it has a better turret that can bounce also T10 and it has a better dpm and also 850 alpha damage.
114 SP2 from ranked will get fully traversable turret too.
Wg really make one of the bizarre tanks to date i swear..i even doubt that most of the tanks in the game are really existing via blueprint,real battle,prototype etc
Got the tank. Have played 10 battles. After about 30 shots I have yet to score even the average damage with gold (supposed to be average of 750 (562-938)). Best hit was 713 (point blank into side of a JagdPanther Teir 9) with most in the 600's and a few in the upper 500's. It seems WOT nerfed the gun after the auction ended. Caveat emptor, guys.
Damn, this biddings for the tank are absurdly high. Some ppl really want this one.
On console this thing is largely better Stat wise and just in general my best games for tds was in this thing a full camo crew in this thing is really reliable on console really hard to spot on certain maps.
I play on console. The 268 v5 is in almost half the games. It’s super popular and pretty good.
With you ladies and gents, the OP 268 - 5 version. The 5th generation of OP.
Finally they're all complete variant of Obj-268 a heavy plus 3 types of TD front/rear/360° turret. even though 2 of them are real but ver4 and 5 is a complete blueprint and Data of their origin.
Play this tank on console and love it. Yeah the armour can be a bit week but boy can it hit and move well
Wish I could get this, it’s like a 60TP but on a medium-ish tank profile… looks fun!
But if don’t I’m glad it has a very prominent weak spot.
00:47 on Sunday 16th Jan - competitive bid for the 268 v5 is now 600,000 free xp, lol.
How does the bidding work can you bid for the tank and lose
I love QB's reaction to the other cc 😂
It looks like it plays like a faster T110e4, which I think is a good thing. The e4 is a fun TD to play once you get the hang of it.
The bad ground resistance means it's only faster than the T110E4 once you unlock that second field mod. But once you do that and have an Off-Road Driving driver, you'll be faster than the E4 even if you don't use a Turbo. Plus having significantly better camo than the E4. Along with slightly better standard pen and accuracy, and a fully rotating turret rather than the E4's half-turret. While the T110E4 has better hull armor and its cupola weakspot is at the back rather than the front of the turret and thus somewhat more hideable. But the E4's cupola is also bigger than the 268 V5's.
All in all I think I'd prefer the V5 over the E4. Too bad I didn't have anywhere near enough FXP to bid for it.
The Obj 268 v5 is ok. I had it and never really thought it was too much of it. I think they buffed it armour and its still paper thin.
Everyone on PC just now seeing the 268 v5
Me playing on Console seeing multiple per game lol
How does it work ? If i put min amount in and DONT win do i get em back or are they lost ?
I do think you should have put the E4 into the comparison as well as thy both are very similar in concept.
And here we are after 2 yrs the tank is in the bond shop
On the north american server there's only 4500 of them available. Average bid rn is 275k
There WAS a fully traversable turretet TD from germany... but they freaking threw it out of the window to sell it in probably gold or free exp next year
Why did they not give the object the same damage output like on console 850 damage. , love it on my ps5 , nice tank
when did QB say that crew 2.0 will come out?
This tank on console is probably the best tier 10 td in the game because the onlqyq difference between console and pc is the console version has 850 alpha instead of 750
Havent seen a full review of this tank yet from you QB. Is it worth 15.000 Bonds?
No doubt this tank will appear in loot boxes or bond shop next year so not going to bother bidding
Well, so far from what I saw, seems balanced enough with the armor and glaring bulge on the turret, shame these auctions end up with such high costs.
Its crazy how you have to bid for this tank on PC, I play on console and it was the final tier of one of the battlepasses
This tank I believe was a Chinese server exclusive, it’s also on the console version
