@@ZaXTheAlienlol Patton the Tanks don't have comparative matchmaking what are you talking about 🤣 it's way more likely the enemy team gets an actually good tier 9 medium, because Patton Tank is in fact a medium, so you're intentionally griefing your team by playing the pile of trash
One reason it was so bad is because WG nerfed it within one patch cycle if I remember correctly was because people were spamming HEAT so much that it was called the HEAT69. So just like the derp 105 on the M4s and Pz IV, WG's amazing balancing department instead of just nerfing speshul ammo they also nerfed gun handling and other aspects.
I specifically went down this line to get to the t54e1 so I could use it to do the medium tank mission 15 for the t55a. Then a month after I got it they changed it to a heavy tank...
@@chievquack7568 hell no. I have been stuck on those last number 15 missions for the t55a for the last 3 years. I haven't played much in that time either. The other day I was 200 damage away from doing the td15 mission. Thought I had it too, with a blind shot. But I only critted instead.
Going up a tier has not been about learning for at least five years. Going up a tier is about spending time as cannon fodder in a tank that is not competitive against other tanks of it's own tier for a while and then either leaving it behind to plunge forward another tier (and do it again), or continue to fight it against more popular (premium) tanks of the same tier that will always be objectively better tanks.
Honestly, it wasn't too bad pre-buff. I bought the T69 over two years ago, and was doing consistently well in it even before the buffs. I think it largely depends on what you want to achieve with it. I use it as a passive scout tank/second-line support. Love this tank, and I'm so glad I spent all the time before I got it to have a dedicated crew leveled up just for that tank.
It does not suck, I bought it about 6 to 8 months ago. I have played about 100 games in it. I am currently holding over 50% win ratio. But, it is a bit of a struggle to keep the wins up there.
I personally prefer to use Experimental Mobility instead of aiming. No point in being accurate if you can’t aim all the way. Plus the experimental turbo gives you great mobility. I’ve always been a staunch defender of this tank, one of my better vehicles.
You had an expert Tiger-Maus Playing too. Havn't played in almost 6 months since I've been moving, job hunting, and life in general, but the Tiger-Maus is one of the best tanks for me TBH
It’s a nice assassin. I always either got 3000+ damage or 0 damage. Almost no in between. Maybe 2-3 3000+ games for every 0 game so pretty good overall
Maybe I am just weird but I do enjoyed playing t69 ten years ago and I dont use gold ammo. I like to play using only regular ammos just to have the satisfaction dealing damage to tier ten tanks.
Controversial: It never sucked. It just required more investment than most wanted to put into it. You also had to kit it with specific equipment. Power creep is the only thing it suffered from. This is an opinion I know that most didn't share- but it was mine.
T69 went from 169mm pen to 181mm pen then 200mm pen. This shows how bad wargaming is at balancing its game. QB pls stream Elden Ring, I want to see you dodging the water sushi dance and playing the DLC.
This tank.... was a grind. I'm happy to have my T57 HEavy now, and was not looking forward to playing this one again. I'm amazed at that ricochet from the SU-130PM's premium round. If that was me, it was game over, back to the garage.
Because T77 is a premium tank that people paid, you can't just put a premium tank in the tech tree and make it available for free while people paid to get it in the first place
lol I loved the t-69, even have it marked. I do recall a lot of gold rounds being used and almost always played it in platoons with clan, haven't played it much in years.
I would say the T69 hasn't been buffed enough. It could use some more mobility like a 600HP engine or make its ground resistance better so the tank can get up to speed faster. Every time I take this tank out it feels sluggishly slow.
(not so random question): How do I get spotting (assist damage)? Years ago I could stand in a bush and racking up the assist. 1. Many sniper positions have vanished, because of uneven terrain. I've tried being near the middle, and even between middle and own base. It seems like getting 1000 assist is almost a bonus. (need 3k assist/damage for final light mission). Would prefer a light tank Tier 5-7 if possible - and tried most of them. 2. Either my team mates don't shoot, or... the enemy decide to go that flank, where we are overrun. I have never in my years in WoT, have such hard time closing an "easy" mission.
I had fun grinding through this T69 back in the day one of his first introduced to decade to go but had to spam gold. It was fun. But power creep very quickly made it not fun. Mine has been sitting in the garage for 10 years not being used
Great vid as always!! You should totally have another channel for other games you play. I've been watching you play WoT for like 10 years it feels. Would be cool to see you playing other games, definitely seems like you have the personality to really enjoy other games with quality vids!
If you're low on credits play a premium tank. There are decent premiums you can buy with Bonds or Gold. Avoid playing high tier tech tree vehicles or vehicles that rely heavily on premium rounds, especially if you don't have a premium account.
@@JWQweqOPDH The Steyr Waffenträger is an extremely good credit maker. Shell cost is only 283 credits and repairs are cheap, so you easily make 50k on even an average game.
The biggest thing about this buff is that the grind from hell to get the T57 Heavy is no longer painful as all hell. I HATED the grind through the T69!
In the end (after the buffs), I prefer playing the T69 to his bigger brother the T54E1. The fact that you lose medium camo and mobility is such a big deal
i love the game play. but i do it in the T77. not the most competitive, but fun for me to play. every one knows and fear the T57 Heavy on the enemy team. but the hole enemy team forgets my T77. and that for me is the biggest differents tier for tier between the two.
I always loved the T69, I mean sure the pen was bad. medium to close range and the bloom after firing was fine. played 70 games and 3rd marked it. I really hated the T54E1 that was the one I skipped to get the T57.
One might think that Wargaming would have seen that the T69 was hardly ever being played and do something about that. Nah . . . it's only a free-to-play Tech Tree tank, and game balance isn't a priority, right?
I don't understand why WG doesn't do more tweaks more often - it is obvious to the player base that some tanks are just too strong or too weak in various areas, but it takes WG months or years to do something about it. If a tank does too well or too bad for 2 months make a small change. Rinse and repeat!
I do keep T69 since it's really good and the only USA tech-tree auto-loader medium (for now) but I havn't play it for a while because it's not profitable after all
T69 was a fun grind but over 1200 battles in the gsor 1008 maxed elite system,full prem and still make profits, meanwile t'54mod 1 has the t69 old pen, sad,, i don't touch anything under 200pen in tier 8 ,this is how fun the game used to be , all my fav tanks rusted
T69 and TVP VTU are still horrible to grind, especially f2p. With the T8 power creep these tanks just feel like playing a Tier 7. Playing this game many years now, it just hurts that some tech tree vehicles are completely forgotten, nearly unplayable in some cases. All this just intensifies with more and more T8 premium power creep loot box made-up tanks. At least they gave the T69 a little buff, still feels very mediocre
bigest problem of this tank is alpha.moustly u hit 2 from 4 and eat lot of dmg while tying to hit all your 4 shells.need to much time to unload mag.buf alpha and take 1 shell out off mag cud fix this.
This game still made the tank look terrible tbh, just seems like you were in a good position and had alot of tanks in the open so got alot of free damage.
Wish I had your ping. There could be so much fun I could have had. Because of the delay, I become just another seal to be clubbed when in INSANE two tier up matches. MM should be: one tier up or down with Preferential the same tier. Easy. Far more fair. Now, they take away all the grinding I did for my crews....WITHOUT FAIR COMPENSATION. Training books? Unless these books train up the skill ALL THE WAY, it is just plain theft. My hope is more will stop playing this game and spending money so they will stop the Pay For NOT Play scheme they have going. How gullible I have been....
Figures, I was leveling to get the 54. I marked it, incidentally, sold it and now it gets a much-needed buff. WG, middle finger for you. Also, I have a dreadful IS-6 for which I paid money. Along with other premium tanks like the Chinese T-34 that need attention.
It's an unflushable turd, the fact you can end up in tier 10 games with it, is soul crushing. It's hardly competitive at it's own tier and helpless at tiers above
What si the point of playing just a premium vehicles? What is the point of grindig for new tanks in WOT, when one can just buy the new, better prmium? What is the point of WOT this days?

Loved this tank when I started playing it, was my first auto-loader. now its even better.
Why couldn't they just replace the T77 inside the tech tree tank while the T69 should be a premium tier 8 like the Lorrain 40t

When I was researching the T57 line I thought the 69 was one of the better vehicles. I enjoyed it quite a bit. That was long before it was 'buffed'.
I've always liked the T69, quick burst, quick reload, that so deadly when you can catch enemies
I had 62% wr before the buff now with the buff this tank is insane even in tier 9 and 10 MM if you play smart.
In the end (after the buffs), I prefer playing the T69 to his bigger brother the T54E1. The fact that you lose medium camo and mobility is such a big deal
T69 has deceptively trolly turret armor
t57 as well
Bouncing tier 10's gives me a shit eating grin 😏
that ending was pure gold
i love the game play.
but i do it in the T77.
not the most competitive, but fun for me to play.
every one knows and fear the T57 Heavy on the enemy team.
but the hole enemy team forgets my T77.
and that for me is the biggest differents tier for tier between the two.
No optics on a medium suggests pimped-out crew skills that are just enough for decent vision?

not good but average with good matchmaking

stop moving if you are burning!
why? fire wont go out faster if you are stationary, it is a myth busted long ago.

Id argue that the E1 is far worse than the T69. Its gun is just horrible.
