A sidescrapping 705A is basically impossible to kill. If you run into a sidescrapping 705A the best option is to leave the flank, exit the game, then uninstall. Reinstall the game after it has been rebalanced and your problem should be solved.
Zymon Ramirez and you really think that there is going to be a rebalance? C'mom man it's russian that rebalance will come after 3-4 years and it's gonna be buffing it's armor because it cannot compare to other tanks
Thomas Duncan Say flank it to your considerably slower and weaker frontally German, American, British, super-heavies/heavies, to TDs, and pretty much all tier-8s. Flanking is feasible mostly only when the enemy makes mistakes or are outnumbered as anyone with AN IQ higher than 20 would know.
and this is same tier as a fv215b seems very balanced. "it feels nice to have a sidescraper without a weakpoint on the side" which instantly makes it better than any other sidescraper. WG balance department boys and girls...
I think WG needs to show the IS-4 some love, it has been made irrelevant by penetration creep and overpowered HE damage. Its gun underperforms and the armor is amazing until people load gold and butter the cheek and front plates. Also the whole point behind the IS-4 is to dig in to a position and hold the line, bar none. This role has completely been replaced by tanks like the Super Conquerer, the Pz. Kpfw. 7, and now the 705A. Regardless of all this, the damage that gold ammo does to the game needs to be changed. When I'm in a heavy, say the IS-4, and I'm braling against a medium, I am sacrificing gun handling and dpm and mobility all in the name of armor, and he is sacrificing armor to gain mobility and gun handling. The difference here is that the medium can load the gold and make my armor irrelevant, leaving me with worse gun handling and mobility and now not much armor to speak of; meanwhile in the heavy tank, it is not like I can dab the 2 key and decrease their gun handling and mobility by 35-40%, leaving the heavy tank a big exp balloon that cannot defend itself properly. Let the tanks that rely on armor as their strength be able to use it. Please like this so people will see and understand what I am talking about
WG is not interested in making good something that already majority have it. they only make good tanks that small number of players got, so many players will start grinding towards it, buying gold to convert, buying prem time for the new grind etc. i sold this garbage lS-4 nearly 5 years ago, and now its more irrelevant than before.
The ST-II has two D-25-T guns with 175mm penetration. That's complete trash at tier X and having two guns just lets it bounce shells twice as fast. It'd probably be a premium of some sort.
You cant hit weak points with it from 50 meters + long cooldown = russian bias??? seriosly??? And the almighty 257!!! with its whole roof with no armor!
bullshit the E-100 can pen plenty of tanks with standard ammo after the penetration buff. people just fire HEAT in order to not have to aim at all. yes you do need to fire HEAT for superheavys unless you hit weakspots (if they have any to begin with) but even then you can easily pen about 85% of the tanks with standard ammo
Charles Clymore The E-100 has slightly better penetration in comparison to the Maus, and I only fire APCR in that thing when facing other Maus', Type 5s or similar superheavy tanks. HEAT is not as necessary in the E-100 with 248 pen, as people like to believe.
Premium tanks and super-heavies, WG really knows how to prioritize. It's gonna be awesome playing higher tier medium or light tanks when you can't pen shit.
"Very disappointing view range" - poor heavy doesn't have the same chance to spot enemies as a light tank with full spotting equipment - how unfair ...
Doesn't have a weak spot on the side like the FV 215b and the Pz 7, doesn't have flat cheeks and a cupola on the top of the turet....this sounds just like a T10 Chrysler. Now tell me about the soviet bias....
Gold ammunition as standard being the meta is unhealthy for the game. That is why tanks like the Chrysler are hated. The fact that you need gold to pen the cupolas is simply not right.
The only thing that can be considered balanced about the Chrysler is the gun. Other than that, the tank has comparable mobility to slower medium tanks, while having incredibly good frontal armour. The newer premiums, starting with the Skorpion G are not healthy for the game. It was always a generally accepted rule that tier 8 premiums were mostly inferior than their tier 8 researchable counterparts. Now, they are just flat out better. Look at the Patriot, which completely outclasses the T32, or the Nameless tank, which is brokenly overpowered and completely outclasses any other tier 8 medium or heavy in the game. There is nothing balanced and more importantly FUN playing against these tanks.
Markus Miristlw I never use gold ammo and I still rekt players who are tryharding their FUCKING. stats ( and it’s always the same : the blue and purple players on xvm ) with their fucking gold ammo which it penetrate everything and then they buy more more and more gold to have better better and better stats but they still playing like a tomato
705A: 152mm gun, 900m/sec shell velocity, higher pen than the E100, much longer barrel E100: short 150mm gun, low pen, low velocity, still has 11% better accuracy. Excuse me wtf?!
Mark Forrester it still is a fun tank today. It's just that the tiger 2 has the frontal armor of a t8 medium tank and is ruined by power creep from new tanks.
I have played one single battle in this tank(needed HDD space so I played one battle in each new tank introduced then deleted the CT), I know it's not enough to form an opinion, so take this as a first impression. Background: I've been playing since BETA, I have around 20k battles under my belt(I know, seems low, but I play with pauses, set grind objectives etc. This is how I managed to play for so long and stil enjoy the game). My WN8, for those interested, stands at around 1900-2000 with recent 100 batles breaking at around 2600. My first impression of this tank is that it's, well, OK. I'll break down each category: Firepower: The gun in my opinion is really nice. It''s , I believe, the gun that should be on every super heavy. It hits hard, with that 650 alpha, penetration is ok for AP, I can manage really well with 256mm. I am not shooting gold unless absolutely necessary(like a life or death situations) although I do spam quite a bit of HESH on Cent 7/1 because it's too much fun.Anyway, I digress, pen is enough for me as I am the kind of player that relies on positioning and map awareness. I do not plan fighting Type 5 heavies frontally in this. Accuracy and aim time are fine because of two reasons: 1.Tank's a brawler, it should be right next to his target so it's not that big of a factor. 2.It's a russian tank, the bigger the number, the better the accuracy. Mobility: It's quite fast in a straight line, for a super-heavy that is, but my God, the traverse is horrible. I actually pressed my A/D keys harder because the tank would not want to steer without stopping. And this is gonna be a problem and a balancing factor for the next chapter. Armor: This is where this tank shines, in the hands of an experienced player, as we've seen, it's almost impenetrable and, in the hands of an idiot it's useless as we've also seen. I like that it has only one weakspot, the lower plate, because this is how a heavy should be. You shouldn't be able to spam gold through the goddamn turret front or upper plate, and pen every shot. No, a heavy should be beat by exploiting its weakness, mobility. And this tank is a perfect example of how mobility can fuck you up big time. The battle I played was on El-Halluf. I pushed quite deep in the northern part of the map, and reached the second choke-point (B1/B2 area if I'm not mistaken). It was there i have discovered that the poor traverse might be the reason you can't angle the tank properly while on the move. I was rushing for a good spot, but on the way it was really hard to angle the tank properly as it requires a hefty change of direction. That resulted in quite a few shells entering my tank. Also, the gun depression is another thing that makes this tank tricky as any slope you try to shoot over might result in you exposing the lower plate. I have played against a 705A and he stood no chance. He did not know how to angle the tank, which resulted in either him overangling and giving me easy track shots or not angle enough and allow me to butter his lower plate.See, this is why I think this tank's not overpowered. IT's not idiot proof. Ah, it's a bit stronger than his counterparts, that's debatable, since different play styles might or might not be suited for this tank. Now, why did I say mobility is a balncing factor for armor? Well, take a look at the stupid Chrysler GF. That thing has the same rear mounted turret layout, but, it can wiggle the armor in front of you in no time, the traverse on that tank is stupid. You can turn from straight on to sidescraping in 0.5 seconds. 705A on the other hand requires you to know the position you're taking as you're going towards it and adjust with micro movements. Now, as I said, this was my first impression, I will grind for it when it comes to live server and see if my opinion changes after 100 or so battles in it. P.S. The IS-M was fun, the 705 at tier IX, not so much.
germans are op should be removed from the game for balancing reasons as you can see how weak these new russian tanks are I mean I dont know what WG is thinking
Both the maus and the E100 get so outclassed by this thing it isn't funny, the German super heavies has to fear heat due to the flat armor, but hey, ultra-angled unrealistic soviet 330? Totally balanced! Since they are already pulling this fantasy nonsense, maybe we can hope to see spaced armor on the fronts of both the Maus and E100 sooner or later, would make it harder to negate their existences with the press of 2.
This is exactly the Tanks Wargaming wants. No Chance to get trough with normal Rounds. Hit the two Key and fire Gold and Wargaming is getting rich. Thanks for the fantastic replay and hopefully we can go back to good old days
1:00 QB the penetration of the heat shell is based on the quantity of explosives in it that propulse the copper jet, and the amount of copper IE more the caliber is big, more the pen should be high. WT player here :)
I wreck Pz VII tanks with my Defender. Using some of the russian bias and the anti-german bias, i easily pen. each and every shell in his side scraping weakspot (with the ""bad"" 0,44 accuracy and aimtime) whilst he bounces off of me because the "weak" spots of the Defender are smaller than my Penis. ...wait, what? Oh right, the russian tank's weakspots are always so small, even the smallest pener in the world would still be bigger. wait....
6:03 Lower plate effective 227mm and he says tier 8's will easily pen it,many ,many tier 8's have 226 pen or less,so hit that 2 key and yes you will pen...QB always promoting gold shells.
Wargaming gives the new tanks bad accuracy to balance the broken tanks....but accuracy doesn't matter in WoT, and especially on Soviet tanks. 0.3 is just as good as 0.6
If they're going to grab all these pretty obscure soviet plans, can they re-do the KV-4's tree so that it ends in a superheavy tier IX and X tank? The transition from the KV-4 to the ST-I and IS-4 is really, really jarring as you go from gargantuan superheavies to mid-weight heavy tanks. Also the IS-4 is garbage anyway.
currently have the IS-M...and yes..it is definitely a challenge to play effectively. Looking forward to a 705 and 705A..I tend to have an aggressive play style and hopefully this tank will suit that..thanks Quicky..blessings
my first match in this tank, i just got it 2 days ago, i was moving into position and i got one shotted by the enemy 705A! the tank just exploded outta nowhere! KA-BOOM!!! lol, even my teammates were like, "wtf?!"
Personally I wanted to get the IS 7 as my next tier X (already have the T 10) but after seeing this tank I think I'll start working my way towards it instead. I prefer the bigger gun that the 705A has over the IS 7 since often when you're a heavy tank and you're fighting up close you will only get 1 shot off. For example, in a situation where 2 heavy tanks are facing off at a corner then they would usually just trade 1 for 1 with one another. It is also nice towards the end of the game when most tanks will be on low HP, then having that extra damage will mean you will be able to one shot more tanks making it more dangerous if you're one of the last tanks standing. At least this is how I feel about the tank, but I am just an average player and no where near the level that QuickyBaby is. For those reasons I feel that this tank would be more suitable for my play style over the IS 7 and the IS 4.
Talk about OP armor! The only real nemesis this tank will have in frontal engagements is a good type 5/4 driver at mid-range/long range or another 705A driver.
That was because the tumor was too strong armored before the nerf, as people had the sense of demanding an actual weakspot, which is fine. Nowadays they lost their senses and seem to fucking accept anything that wg throws at them, even if it is a weakspotless Monster with IS7 speed, e100 trade and a profile that makes it unpenetrable while sidescraping. It my book it is ok that you can pen e5 tumor with normal ammo, but that does also say what i think about this new bullshit tanks. Broken as fuck and people even deny it, cause they cannot distinquish betweem reasonable critic and the ever rambling of noobs that cant understand shit. It will get worse and worse so long people do not realize what is really broken and what not.
I don't mind the need to the tumor on top, but the problem I have is that now compared to other heavies the only thing the e5 has going for it is the reliable gun.
I would say that a reverse sidescraping(what qb calls regular sidescraping) IS7(meaning, back to the cover, pulling forward, angled) does exactly what the 705A does, but better. So you can retain the IS7s mobility and get nearly the same performance when in close quarters situations behind cover. I was really looking forward to this tank, but unless they improve the accuracy(either dispursion, aimtime or hidden stats), give it more mobility(at the very least top spead to say 45 kph) or increase it's dpm to the 113 range(about 2500), I don't think this tank will be very popular in pubs or CWs.
11:40 when this thing sidescrapes, you just can’t penetrate it. That sounds like a problem. And WG aren’t going to make that plate above the gun weak like the Is4??? Wow nice balance. And way to make the E100 even more irrelevant. Fire more gold!!!!
This tank is a monster! I love it! But that's also the problem - it's OP AF. I usually play like a round or two during CT, just to try new things and with this tank it just pure pleasure to play. It's like having a Ferrari when everybody else uses Alfa Romeo. Same blood but I'd rather choose Ferrari.
Quicky, just a quick question. Did you ever review the Chi-To? The tier 6 Japanese Medium???? Just wondering, finally going down that line and a little disappointed after loving the Chi-Nu. Thanks in advance.
Ian Seth Winkler no kidding. Pz VII is bad anyway with the crap dpm and speed nerf. The least they could do is thicken that side weakpoint or slap some spaced armor over it.
QB you forget for a soviet tank the higher the dispersion is the better :) 0.44 is a sniper :)
Robert Pettigrew KV-2 most accurate tank in the game
artys have more
Sir Bananenschmiere note the key word **tank**
*Russian derp heavy KV-2 has better gun handling than german sniper TD Grille 15* 🤔
Umm 62A and 140 are pretty OK even though they have 0.1 *less* accuracy
I’m still waiting for the AMX 40 Re-Review
Quackybaby
Hahahaha. Good one mate!
syadap hater
Silverslicer what do you mean "hahaha good one"? It's not a bloody joke we WANT a re-review now!
QB have that duck review for when (if) it gets its HD model
Hi madude :D
A sidescrapping 705A is basically impossible to kill. If you run into a sidescrapping 705A the best option is to leave the flank, exit the game, then uninstall. Reinstall the game after it has been rebalanced and your problem should be solved.
Or back up and flank like anyone with a IQ higher than 25 will do
thomas Duncan: some people are too lazy to even push some keyboard keys to do that, lol
Zymon Ramirez and you really think that there is going to be a rebalance? C'mom man it's russian that rebalance will come after 3-4 years and it's gonna be buffing it's armor because it cannot compare to other tanks
Type 5 heavy says hi
Thomas Duncan Say flank it to your considerably slower and weaker frontally German, American, British, super-heavies/heavies, to TDs, and pretty much all tier-8s. Flanking is feasible mostly only when the enemy makes mistakes or are outnumbered as anyone with AN IQ higher than 20 would know.
and this is same tier as a fv215b seems very balanced. "it feels nice to have a sidescraper without a weakpoint on the side" which instantly makes it better than any other sidescraper. WG balance department boys and girls...
"Feels like a heavy" I wonder why
Take a shot everytime he says "nevertheless":
I think WG needs to show the IS-4 some love, it has been made irrelevant by penetration creep and overpowered HE damage. Its gun underperforms and the armor is amazing until people load gold and butter the cheek and front plates. Also the whole point behind the IS-4 is to dig in to a position and hold the line, bar none. This role has completely been replaced by tanks like the Super Conquerer, the Pz.

Let the tanks that rely on armor as their strength be able to use it. Please like this so people will see and understand what I am talking about
i know how you feel it sucks when you try to use a tank that relies on its armor only for it to be useless when people just dab that 2 key
It looks like wg will replace it with the ST-II which has two main armaments
WG is not interested in making good something that already majority have it. they only make good tanks that small number of players got, so many players will start grinding towards it, buying gold to convert, buying prem time for the new grind etc.
i sold this garbage lS-4 nearly 5 years ago, and now its more irrelevant than before.
The ST-II has two D-25-T guns with 175mm penetration. That's complete trash at tier X and having two guns just lets it bounce shells twice as fast. It'd probably be a premium of some sort.
if it would be implemented, bet your ass they will give it a decent tier 10 armament.... historical armament has never been an issue to Wargaming
For a "Super Heavy" tank it's pretty damn mobile.
Yak big engine
What else? It's Soviet.
Yak yeah, WG giving the german super heavies the finger.
Soviet super heavy means it's a super good heavy tank :)
IS-7 with 60km/h HAHAHAHA
most tanks today struggle to get to that speed
Compare it with the other heavy tank, the Obj430U
yeah
Gun dispersion is irrelevant for russian tank
Timmy Choi say that to the st1 with 8 degrees cuz Russian bias
Dreadlord Liu dispersión =/= depression eheheh
Why?
U will know.... until you become a veteran player.
Please give me a general reason, I'm genuinely curious
I love hearing QB get excited about tanks, it's like a kid with a puppy. A big, 70 ton, metal, puppy.
sinisterace 100ton
yeah another bullshit op russian tank he is paid not to complain about
Go back to your parents basement, you raging little kid :-)
For me it's more like licking WG ass
that's how you sell stuff
I'm glad we get new russian tanks, cause of the dramatic lack of russian tanks.
This irony is gold
Soviet*
That's very true, like they keep adding the swedish tanks like man we already have a lot of those .
Indeed
I think there should more mediums
0.44 = 0.25 in russian
Necrodor21 you probably meant 0.20
Bradon 127_3 you had to ruin the ruin joke
You cant hit weak points with it from 50 meters + long cooldown = russian bias??? seriosly???
And the almighty 257!!! with its whole roof with no armor!
its russian's magic
Have proof?
Sorry...but the E-100 is NOT a tank to be feared any longer. Can't pen anything unless you want to lose 50k credits per game and even then it's 50/50.
Charles Clymore that’s why I went for the Maus
Whysoserious!? Why so serious?!
Whysoserious!? 3 marked that POS and he's right xD
bullshit the E-100 can pen plenty of tanks with standard ammo after the penetration buff. people just fire HEAT in order to not have to aim at all. yes you do need to fire HEAT for superheavys unless you hit weakspots (if they have any to begin with) but even then you can easily pen about 85% of the tanks with standard ammo

I love how this thing is invulnerable while side scraping buy my FV215b has weak points a caveman could see.
New high tier tanks? Oh they all have a million turret armor and minimal frontal weakpoints? Colour me surprised. Dab that 2 key. WG 2018
Ammoracked easily ... IF penetrated. Higher dispersion + higher armor = more $$ for Wargaming
T-14 Armata tier X med coming soon
AHAH YES MORE MONEY - WG 2018
get to the review we need, AMX 40
Jack Ripper i looks on Tanks.gg and the amx 40 gets much worse with Hd-Model. The part that even an amx 40 can pen on the lower plate gets much bigger
Anyone want to Start a tally for the “nevertheless”
but umm...))
Premium tanks and super-heavies, WG really knows how to prioritize. It's gonna be awesome playing higher tier medium or light tanks when you can't pen shit.
Mikael Schwartz just load gold mate EZ (gg Wargaming)
"Very disappointing view range" - poor heavy doesn't have the same chance to spot enemies as a light tank with full spotting equipment - how unfair ...
So the Panzerkampfwagen VII is redundant now
it was always redundant
No it isn’t... pz7 is still the better tank because it’s gun is WAY better and it’s far more forgiving to mistakes.
Cuz it has way better side armor.
but it has a weakspot that can get get penetrated while sidescraping by kids throwing rocks at it
Compare the guns the reload alone is a fucking joke
Doesn't have a weak spot on the side like the FV 215b and the Pz 7, doesn't have flat cheeks and a cupola on the top of the turet....this sounds just like a T10 Chrysler. Now tell me about the soviet bias....
Gold ammunition as standard being the meta is unhealthy for the game.
That is why tanks like the Chrysler are hated. The fact that you need gold to pen the cupolas is simply not right.
The only thing that can be considered balanced about the Chrysler is the gun. Other than that, the tank has comparable mobility to slower medium tanks, while having incredibly good frontal armour.

Look at the Patriot, which completely outclasses the T32, or the Nameless tank, which is brokenly overpowered and completely outclasses any other tier 8 medium or heavy in the game.
There is nothing balanced and more importantly FUN playing against these tanks.
237 effective armor on Chrysler's cupola is a weak spot??? How many T8 have over 240 pen on standard?
Necro Dragon huuummmmm....pay to win
Markus Miristlw I never use gold ammo and I still rekt players who are tryharding their FUCKING. stats ( and it’s always the same : the blue and purple players on xvm ) with their fucking gold ammo which it penetrate everything and then they buy more more and more gold to have better better and better stats but they still playing like a tomato
E-100 and Panzerkampfwagen VII basically useless.
The E-100 already was useless. Playable, but useless.
As if the E-100 was useful in the last 2 years
nothinbutfaps you dont even have to aim at the e100. Its so tall that if point your gun the other way you will still pen it.
I remmember a time when E100 was a force to be reckoned with
Obj-705A is useless, gun have the same performance as E-100, so it's trash, no wonder everyone now play 60TP
That was one of the most badass replays you've shown QuckyBaby
Nevertheless, nevertheless 😁 take it easy QB 😂
It's his signature word when he gets off topic haha. Love it when he says it tho lmao
take a shot
Drink every time he says it. In some videos ur fuckt haha
Quicky "Nevertheless"Baby
I've been saying "nevertheless" and "theory crafting" a lot lately.
This is definitely one of the best looking russian tank in the game and probably the most manly one as well
probably the only reason i will get this tank is how cool it looks, love how the gun looks, just awesome.
btw lS-4 looks like a bitch right now.
i like the old 430, but now, this is the new alpha looking russian tank
The Is7 is better looking.
FlyingLunatic nah，is7 looks like an alien ufo
It's a Soviet tank. There are no Russian tanks in the game. And IMO it's one of the uglier Soviet tanks.
705A: 152mm gun, 900m/sec shell velocity, higher pen than the E100, much longer barrel
E100: short 150mm gun, low pen, low velocity, still has 11% better accuracy.
Excuse me wtf?!
Wish i could bounce all these gold rounds in the E-100.
GOLD = is what you use from tier 8 up.
if quickybaby dont sat "never the less" at least 2 times in the video, he cant rest at night
ive been waiting for this. thanks QB!
Can you do a tiger 2 review? I think some attention needs to be brought as to how bad it currently is.
Sorry to hear that . It was fun when I played thru about a year ago .
Mark Forrester it still is a fun tank today. It's just that the tiger 2 has the frontal armor of a t8 medium tank and is ruined by power creep from new tanks.
Michael S The tiger II would be better if the MM wasn't crap, and if there would be his real APHEBC
yes the armor is trash ad the gun underrated ... hopefully it will get a buff ...
Tiger II review:
Step 1) Sell it
Step 2) Buy a better tank
Step 3) If you dont like previous steps, build a time machine and play Tiger II in 2012
Because only German tanks need weakpoints 😂😂😂 Keep it up QB! Love ur channel
Go to the test server, play 121... The absolute madman
I have played one single battle in this tank(needed HDD space so I played one battle in each new tank introduced then deleted the CT), I know it's not enough to form an opinion, so take this as a first impression.
Background: I've been playing since BETA, I have around 20k battles under my belt(I know, seems low, but I play with pauses, set grind objectives etc. This is how I managed to play for so long and stil enjoy the game). My WN8, for those interested, stands at around 1900-2000 with recent 100 batles breaking at around 2600.
My first impression of this tank is that it's, well, OK. I'll break down each category:
Firepower: The gun in my opinion is really nice. It''s , I believe, the gun that should be on every super heavy. It hits hard, with that 650 alpha, penetration is ok for AP, I can manage really well with 256mm. I am not shooting gold unless absolutely necessary(like a life or death situations) although I do spam quite a bit of HESH on Cent 7/1 because it's too much fun.Anyway, I digress, pen is enough for me as I am the kind of player that relies on positioning and map awareness. I do not plan fighting Type 5 heavies frontally in this.
Accuracy and aim time are fine because of two reasons:
1.Tank's a brawler, it should be right next to his target so it's not that big of a factor.
2.It's a russian tank, the bigger the number, the better the accuracy.
Mobility: It's quite fast in a straight line, for a super-heavy that is, but my God, the traverse is horrible. I actually pressed my A/D keys harder because the tank would not want to steer without stopping. And this is gonna be a problem and a balancing factor for the next chapter.

No, a heavy should be beat by exploiting its weakness, mobility. And this tank is a perfect example of how mobility can fuck you up big time.
The battle I played was on El-Halluf. I pushed quite deep in the northern part of the map, and reached the second choke-point (B1/B2 area if I'm not mistaken). It was there i have discovered that the poor traverse might be the reason you can't angle the tank properly while on the move. I was rushing for a good spot, but on the way it was really hard to angle the tank properly as it requires a hefty change of direction. That resulted in quite a few shells entering my tank. Also, the gun depression is another thing that makes this tank tricky as any slope you try to shoot over might result in you exposing the lower plate.
I have played against a 705A and he stood no chance. He did not know how to angle the tank, which resulted in either him overangling and giving me easy track shots or not angle enough and allow me to butter his lower plate.See, this is why I think this tank's not overpowered. IT's not idiot proof. Ah, it's a bit stronger than his counterparts, that's debatable, since different play styles might or might not be suited for this tank.
Now, why did I say mobility is a balncing factor for armor? Well, take a look at the stupid Chrysler GF.

Now, as I said, this was my first impression, I will grind for it when it comes to live server and see if my opinion changes after 100 or so battles in it.
P.S. The IS-M was fun, the 705 at tier IX, not so much.
I hope the E100 gets some kind of buff, this thing completely out classes it
LaGG Productions all germans need a buff in my opinion, same for americans
germans are op should be removed from the game for balancing reasons as you can see how weak these new russian tanks are I mean I dont know what WG is thinking
*whoosh*
Molten Sh4dow well that escalated quicklly I woukd assume you didnt get a joke did you
Both the maus and the E100 get so outclassed by this thing it isn't funny, the German super heavies has to fear heat due to the flat armor, but hey, ultra-angled unrealistic soviet 330? Totally balanced! Since they are already pulling this fantasy nonsense, maybe we can hope to see spaced armor on the fronts of both the Maus and E100 sooner or later, would make it harder to negate their existences with the press of 2.
This is exactly the Tanks Wargaming wants. No Chance to get trough with normal Rounds. Hit the two Key and fire Gold and Wargaming is getting rich. Thanks for the fantastic replay and hopefully we can go back to good old days
1:00 QB the penetration of the heat shell is based on the quantity of explosives in it that propulse the copper jet, and the amount of copper IE more the caliber is big, more the pen should be high. WT player here :)
PzVII "renowned side scraper"
It would surprise you how many people don't actually know about the back cheeks weakspot area.
Yea I know just making a joke
Slyvester I agree tho.
I wreck Pz VII tanks with my Defender. Using some of the russian bias and the anti-german bias, i easily pen. each and every shell in his side scraping weakspot (with the ""bad"" 0,44 accuracy and aimtime) whilst he bounces off of me because the "weak" spots of the Defender are smaller than my Penis.
...wait, what?
Oh right, the russian tank's weakspots are always so small, even the smallest pener in the world would still be bigger.
wait....
More like a front scraper...
I see what you did there....2:56
you're*
6:03
Lower plate effective 227mm and he says tier 8's will easily pen it,many ,many tier 8's have 226 pen or less,so hit that 2 key and yes you will pen...QB always promoting gold shells.
I realy like that they are slowly reducing the penetration those Premium rounds.
RIP IS4
I remember when the Kranvagn was supposed to have the impenetrable turret....now it seems like every medium and heavy needs op turret armour
RUSSIAN BIAS OVER 9000!
Serbian Highlander it’s not really that good though
Yeah. Was thinking the same thing. Pz 7 has that huge weakspot at the side of the vehicle where as 705 doesn't. Hmm......
MrBrander
Well Pz 7 has a weak spot at the side, but this one has a weak lower part.
i told that to my friend when i played this on test server about day or 2
with the mobility and no weakspots apart from the lower plate, it is better than the Pz7 IMO. Gets into position faster and gets away faster
Looking forward seeing these in my T8 tanks...
Rip german tank..
liem thanh Nghuyen fallen german tanks
they lost ww2 to russians it makes logic
lil veky but if you play the pzkfw 7 is way better
liem thanh Nghuyen vk 7201k master race, 3000 damage a game average ;)
more like Rip every other tank
Baby needs a t-shirt with the slogan: Nevertheless
Wargaming gives the new tanks bad accuracy to balance the broken tanks....but accuracy doesn't matter in WoT, and especially on Soviet tanks. 0.3 is just as good as 0.6
"and then i realise that with my power to weight ratio, and ground resistance, im faster than him" - yep, that goes through my mind every battle. :O
390 meters view range dissapointing??? t100lt have the same and its a freaking light tank..THX WG FOR MAKING GREAT BALANCE BETWEEN LIGHTS AND MEDS.
If they're going to grab all these pretty obscure soviet plans, can they re-do the KV-4's tree so that it ends in a superheavy tier IX and X tank?
The transition from the KV-4 to the ST-I and IS-4 is really, really jarring as you go from gargantuan superheavies to mid-weight heavy tanks.
Also the IS-4 is garbage anyway.
Pavel Volkovoi so true but I think the USSR realized big, long box-heavies were crap, and there isn’t any KVs stronger than the KV-4 irl.
Molten Sh4dow there are an insane amount of kv4 plans. Enough to make an entire line of kv4s. There’s gotta be a good tier X option somewhere in there
In the comparison part the Panzer VII has so much green stats
Take a drink every time qb says "nevertheless"
Wow QB keep up the good work!!! Nonstop videos!
I love how the type 5 heavy is so hated for all its armor yet this tank isnt op for having even more
No one gets the purple RNG like Quickbaby, we would all be pros if we got the same.
currently have the IS-M...and yes..it is definitely a challenge to play effectively. Looking forward to a 705 and 705A..I tend to have an aggressive play style and hopefully this tank will suit that..thanks Quicky..blessings
"Gun depression, now that's where this tank is rather depressing" nice one QB...
This tank is just perfect. Love it
Ahh yes. More overpowered, great gun, mobility, armour that can’t be penned and will have a god tier gun. Thanks EG
Well played QB .
Thanks Skill, I didn't know that you can hit the 705A on the lower part of the hull that is just above the track on the second game.
my first match in this tank, i just got it 2 days ago, i was moving into position and i got one shotted by the enemy 705A! the tank just exploded outta nowhere! KA-BOOM!!! lol, even my teammates were like, "wtf?!"
Personally I wanted to get the IS 7 as my next tier X (already have the T 10) but after seeing this tank I think I'll start working my way towards it instead. I prefer the bigger gun that the 705A has over the IS 7 since often when you're a heavy tank and you're fighting up close you will only get 1 shot off. For example, in a situation where 2 heavy tanks are facing off at a corner then they would usually just trade 1 for 1 with one another. It is also nice towards the end of the game when most tanks will be on low HP, then having that extra damage will mean you will be able to one shot more tanks making it more dangerous if you're one of the last tanks standing.
At least this is how I feel about the tank, but I am just an average player and no where near the level that QuickyBaby is. For those reasons I feel that this tank would be more suitable for my play style over the IS 7 and the IS 4.
and again no weakpoints... WG, make HEAT for free!
"tier 8s have a good chance of going through the lower plate" MingLee , not without gold. May i add 310 gold pen OpieOP
The Bias is soaring to new levels.
I can't wait for this tank, i'm so grinding towards it!
Keep the good work love u Quicky
Talk about OP armor! The only real nemesis this tank will have in frontal engagements is a good type 5/4 driver at mid-range/long range or another 705A driver.
It feels like WG has reacted to the goldspam at higher tiers- with more armor. Not that great idea imho.
Nope, especially considering how it leaves other super heavies in the dust, unless a coming update to make all 10 heavies invincible shows up.
And what is the relation between goldammo and visibility?
"Invincible", not invisible, its another word for Un-Vulnerable
Oh, sry. My fault.
So lets see what the future brings. I relly hope, i was also wrong with my first statement.
I knew that QB would be showing that replay in the review. You almost had done it in the end but you lost and were like "what" in the end.
I like that tank, seems nice when sidescraping.
new drinking game, everytime he says nevertheless take a sip
15:01 thats why I have HE in my tanks that have huge guns.
I still can't understand how everyone was pissed about the t110e5. This tanks armor is gonna be over powered as hell.
That was because the tumor was too strong armored before the nerf, as people had the sense of demanding an actual weakspot, which is fine. Nowadays they lost their senses and seem to fucking accept anything that wg throws at them, even if it is a weakspotless Monster with IS7 speed, e100 trade and a profile that makes it unpenetrable while sidescraping.
It my book it is ok that you can pen e5 tumor with normal ammo, but that does also say what i think about this new bullshit tanks. Broken as fuck and people even deny it, cause they cannot distinquish betweem reasonable critic and the ever rambling of noobs that cant understand shit. It will get worse and worse so long people do not realize what is really broken and what not.
I don't mind the need to the tumor on top, but the problem I have is that now compared to other heavies the only thing the e5 has going for it is the reliable gun.
Also if they were going to nerf it, why not make it a smaller target?
Yeah that is something i would agree with, but they dont seem to think things through or care.
That is 100% true. It wouldn't be that hard to change the model. They do it all the time.
1st impression
Gold is flying everywhere
Yess was waiting for this video
I haven't went past tier 6 on the Russian tech tree, but this tank has motivated me to start. Looks like a beast
If you play the IS, unlock the IS-3 too. That Tank is really worth getting.
"Gun depression, yeah this is where it is depressing."
I'm more excited about the upcoming T 10 heavy tank that will follow the 'T-10' heavy...
Very good review like always quicky been watching you a while hope your doing well m8 o7
Do you think QB could kill the 705A with an HE in the upper plate? Someone can test it?
Easy way to balance it. Make the tank only traverse the turret 60 degrees in every side. That way at least the pz vii will at least be better at that.
Acerrzzz the Pz has way better gun and is far more forgiving. This tank is balanced
I would say that a reverse sidescraping(what qb calls regular sidescraping) IS7(meaning, back to the cover, pulling forward, angled) does exactly what the 705A does, but better. So you can retain the IS7s mobility and get nearly the same performance when in close quarters situations behind cover. I was really looking forward to this tank, but unless they improve the accuracy(either dispursion, aimtime or hidden stats), give it more mobility(at the very least top spead to say 45 kph) or increase it's dpm to the 113 range(about 2500), I don't think this tank will be very popular in pubs or CWs.
11:40 when this thing sidescrapes, you just can’t penetrate it. That sounds like a problem. And WG aren’t going to make that plate above the gun weak like the Is4??? Wow nice balance. And way to make the E100 even more irrelevant. Fire more gold!!!!
wow, can't pen a tank that protecting his weakspot (LPF) is a problem. lol flank it, problem solved.
This tank is a monster! I love it! But that's also the problem - it's OP AF. I usually play like a round or two during CT, just to try new things and with this tank it just pure pleasure to play. It's like having a Ferrari when everybody else uses Alfa Romeo. Same blood but I'd rather choose Ferrari.
Yeah, the soviets have everything now, why bother going the Jerries/Muricans if all you are gonna meet is Blyat Tenks that outclass you?
drinking game, do a shot every time you hear " nevertheless"
i had really hoped they would give the IS-4 some love instead of new better heavys and buffing IS-7... heavy tanks wise, IS-4 need some love.
Shooting big HE shells at the turret close to the hull should do some splash damage at least.
Tier 10 Rear-Turreted KV-2?
Gigabyte9436 kv2s older brother
Gigabyte9436 nah give it 1.5k alpha with 110 mm HE then it’s a tier 10 KV-2
That's just the FV4005
Pzkw VII has a horrible weakpoint on the side of hull when sidescraping, but this new soviet monster has none.
Quicky, just a quick question. Did you ever review the Chi-To? The tier 6 Japanese Medium???? Just wondering, finally going down that line and a little disappointed after loving the Chi-Nu. Thanks in advance.
I feel with the sup conq in the game and now this tanks side scraping capabilities the fv 215b gets a bit redundant. Which is kinda sad.
Also u would never survive that long in an E100 with all those gold rounds.
When this is in the game why would u even go for a tank like the T110E5
another op russian, wg if you can give this thing extra thicc sides than buff the Panzerkampfwagen VII
Ian Seth Winkler no kidding. Pz VII is bad anyway with the crap dpm and speed nerf. The least they could do is thicken that side weakpoint or slap some spaced armor over it.
Take a shot every time QB says nevertheless.
Is it just me, or at close range did the turret ring seem like a weak spot?
