@@aidenlin9878 well it’s got 3 weak points on the turret you can hit, depending on what it’s doing…and effectively no hull armor, as king you don’t sit in the open and do nothing, it’s pretty easy to deal with, and it’s squishy to any of my T10’s haha, either I can hit the weak spots easy enough, or I’m in a brawler tank, and I run them over/shoot them. They don’t even like being rammed by my regular E50, let alone my E50M, so a heavy that can’t handle a medium ramming it, is very squishy. I mean it’s not a horrible tank, but really only good, if you’re using most/all of your gun depression.
Spent £150 on lootboxes and despite having none of them beforehand, got every single tank, all the WT rentals, all the styles, 8 personal training manuals and about 15 million extra credits. Just like in the Christmas 2020 event, I got very lucky. The Chieftain Proto is amazing, and the VK and Renegade are quite OP, I feel. But the tank I'm enjoying the most is actually the Kampfpanzer. It's gun is pinpoint, it's so quick, quite stealthy and has armour in desperate situations. But most of all, it's just loads of fun to play.
I think a lot of people will be disapointed. Every tank that was op when the waffel was still in the game is now nothing more then a liability to the team that it's on. And not because of nerfs... It will be meh at best.

You really need to use the Gun depression. The turret roof can be over-matched by 122mm+ guns, and once everyone figures that out this tank will be a garage queen.
I opened 15 Loot crates and got lucky - I got the Chieftain Proto, KV-4 KTTS and Emil 1951. Now I can open the remaining 35 boxes and possibly get even more premium tanks :D Edit: I got the Tier 8 Chieftain/T95 now and the Astron Rex from only 12 more opened boxes, im so happy right now. Last 23 Boxes no more luck tho, but im obviously very lucky.
The tank reminds me of when the FV4202 was at tier 10. Yes ik, the Fv4202 was the prototype for the chieftain like the FV4201 but it’s a nice throwback to when the FV4202 was the top tier British medium before the Centurion AX took its place.
I am actually really glad that this tank is like, IDK above average? I was seriously afraid that chief proto, would be just as OP as The Chief, just with tier IX stats. Chief proto seems comparable to AE Phase I.
Yeah, I’d say it’s just second place from the AE as the Phase 1 still performs better imo. I’d say the Chieftain proto is the love child of the STRV K and AE phase 1. But the chieftain it’s seriously giving me STRV k vibes atm.
Think PC should get the Chieftain Mk 6 after the Conqueror like the Console version, Not sure why PC is holding it back as QB covered it years ago on another server. I rarely play my Chieftain on Console but with a Traction System which increases Speed by 10% (also increases Hull Traverse) goes 50-52 kph (as mobility got buffed) with a great 120 mm gun. Arguably one of the Best Tier X "Mediums" in the game. It felt a little sluggish before the buffs to me at least. Last Years Chieftain Mk 6 Buffs: Turret: Cupola: 152 mm -> 230 mm View range: 390 m -> 400 m Traverse speed: 30 -> 34 Frontal armor above gun: 140mm -> 185mm Hull Side skirt: 6mm -> 20 mm Gun Premium ammo penetration: 310 -> 326 Health: 2200 -> 2300 Top Speed: 42 -> 46 Chassis Terrain Resistance: 1.2/1.4/2.1 -> 0.8/1/1.7
Got this one with 20 keys bought and re rolling around 8-9 times so... a good bang for that buck! In total, almost half the price of a good tier 8 so I'm happy with it! I don't have the Raumpanzer, Emil, Kpz rh and a few others from that list so I got lucky indeed.
I run mine with full bounty: rammer, turbo and stabs. It will always be slower than the Concept but the turret is arguably more durable, and while I in my main config for the Concept run with durability i feel like the armor of the Chief Proto means that you don't need the extra hit points as much. The armor is plenty trolly and you don't so much need a "go to angling strat" it's more about moving and wedging yourself up on rubble and stuff to create auto ricochet angles. Today I duelled a 60tp firing heat and I killed him without taking a single shot while doing his full hp.
@@ivoryfoxmusic true, the Chieftain just used an *improved* 120mm to the Conqueror so it really makes no sense why first off the gun is a 119.38mm and also why it is worse than that of the conqueror
I used to drive past this tank every day on my way to work. Anyone who's interested, it’s sat up on the Portsdown hill road in Portsmouth UK by Qinetiq. Pretty sure the numbers on the hull match and everything.
I won't deny this was an error. But I got x3 of the 50 crates. And I got the Proto, even with 8 (including the two new tanks) on the list. I actually had good luck, getting 5 tanks out of those crates (averaging one tank for every $30 US). I'm with QB on this one however, I do not recommend attempting this unless either A: you have enough disposable income to potentially get everything, or B: you have most or all of the possible tank drops. As many of my friends have said, my luck is uncommonly good. Do NOT assume you will have my results. Most likely, you'll get one tank per $50, basically triggering the every 50 boxes you get a tank.
I remember that it was you in ~ 2014 that made WG to release new T 8 Premium Tanks not only in a expensive Bundle, but also in a vanilla edition. Now this policie is gone with new T 9 Premium Tanks. 😂
WG contributor: It has a tiny weak point on the side which you can hide... Reality: Defender (with TEEEERRRRRIBLE gun handling) snapshots you twice, exactly there, within 15 secs of meeting it, with gold that it doesn't need.
Just saw my first one today, our 907 just shot straight through its turret, either side next to the gun, one shot just above the gun when he was above him. . Looks like tier 10s can just spam gold straight through next to the gun. . Against tier 7s it must be almost invincible though.
@@TheFrXion lol, you are the only one I have actually managed to watch live stream, that was a fun one last night, even if you did do some arty brutality 🤣
Setup is a bit weird. I'd go with vstab, rammer, turbo. Vents are not my favorite piece unless tank is all-rounder and I want to increase viewrange and gun handling at the same time, so it's mostly for autoloaders with rammer or low tiers without vstab. But considering pretty bad gun handling, rammer being a must and atrocious reverse speed ...
Hey QV, good content as always, I appreciate the reviews and the insight into the loot system. I don't get much time to play and am kind of a collector so I threw 50USD at 50 keys with hopes to get the Emil 1951 in all honesty. Made out with the Cheiftan/T95, Cheiftan Proto, and AP AMX 30 and a couple of the x10 WT E100 rentals. So I'll see how my luck and RNG are in game after those rolls.
@@M1903Enjoyer pretty sure it limited numbers of t9 chieftain and FTP gets 2% and PTP gets 30% WG hidden or secret detail 🤣 again im kidding but it feels this way
I Got 3 tanks i didnt have, chieftain the other chieftain and the ktts in 20 boxes. But i only got 1 kpz 07 from my 180 remaining boxes. Guarantee mechanic disappears if you have all the tanks.
QB doing these videos to give all of us an informed opinion. Someone in the comments, "omg QB youre using a 9 skill crew, i mean sure most of those skils dont even matter, but this is unfair!!!"
Its the best tier 9 premium for sure, and i'd say average in comparison to tech tree tanks. I'll pick it up too because the idea of making bonds and credits at a better and more fun Tier to play seems really nice!
The gambling and paying money is maddening as you said QB.. it is worsened by the fact that to drastically increase your odds re-rolling and at least 500 gold per key which likely doubles your investment attempting to get the tank. It is very easy to drain your gold not thinking how costly it is
I bought 100 box and i get 9 and 8 tier chiftain, kv-4 ktts, altproto AMX 30, wt auf e 100, 10 battle trial. I already have every other premium tanks on the list
I know the way Wargaming worded the chances of receiving a premium tank in the loot boxes sounds like there is a 2.4% chance of receiving any premium tank per box, but my experience has been a bit different this time around. I am a relatively new player and only had 3 out of the 12 available premium vehicles in my garage at the start of this event, but so far I have opened 70 boxes and received 5 tanks; 3 of those were in the last set of 20 boxes, leaving my probability chance somewhere between 7-15%, depending on subset. The skeptic in me thinks that there might be some other probability formula at play here as some of these vehicles seem to be more valuable than others and most of those I received don't really suit my "armoured noob" play style, and I kinda feel like I am being baited into purchasing more boxes for the chance of getting the new Chieftain. I'll probably cave and buy more :P
Hey Quickybaby I was really lucky did 1 purchase of the 50 keys and managed to get the FV4202 Chief. Proto. I think it's good to have their nine premium tanks to help get resources but I feel they should go back to how the Lowe was when it came in, being just above a tech tree tank not this over shadow the tech tree and make them feel useless in comparison. I'm not saying you're aren't able to do well in a tech tree tank, I feel they need to stop with premium tanks and go through and rework tanks, give them strengths while doing it to make it competitive who cares if Russian tanks get some nerfs but bring the game back to being fun. I could be the only one who is thinking like this but I feel Wargaming are just wanting more and more tanks in the game.
@@qawsqaws5284 that would be brilliant, I love playing tanks like the IS-3 and Cavalier but they either loose credits or simply don't profit at all. Even better, this would help out the situation with Tier 10 tanks loosing credits all the time.
Well i did ok QB. Spent £38 on the bundle pressed the button 50 times. Got the Chief and the KV as well as 5000 gold and premium and consumables etc. Only crap as the daft styles.
I bought 50 boxes ($68 AUD) as I always do with these events, and comfortably got it from box 23 (with no re-rolls). Overall not impressed with the continuation of gambling, but it has always been fortunate to me.
i got lucky, bought 20 boxes, rerolled a few and got both chiefain's XD tier 8 chieftain/95 and tier 9 fv4201 cheiftain prototype. i did not expect that :D
i bought 50 crates, got the Chieftain on my 3rd crate, since i own all the other tanks exept the emil 1951, i got both "new" premiums within those 50 crates and a few rerolls
I got super lucky lol I spent 20 USD to get 20 Engineer gate opens and I got the Chieftain Proto and the Bat Chat style, and I don't even own any of the premiums that are in the loot boxes
hmm...how about you test the new tanks stock at least from time to time? sure you can have good games if you have gold ammo on it, all the field mods, premium consumables....give us at least a glimpse on what they perform like without all those tweaks.
I bought 50 crates because i don't own any of the premium tanks and i gained 4 tanks (Including the chief proto at crate 5) and 3, 3D skins so i profited and lucked out i guess.
The ONLY 3 Tanks I don't Have, are the 2 Chieftains and the KTTS, all the New One's... I have all the Other Tanks, so I figured my Chances of a Chieftain are Pretty Good, Tier 8 OR Tier 9... I like my Brit Tanks, I don't Play them as much as I'd like too, but the way the Game has been going lately, I just play the Tanks I'm not as Concerned with more than the one's I WANT to Play, save those for Recon and the Test Server.... I have 1900+ Battles in my 4202 training Crews for my Other Tanks, so, that's gotta say Something... lol I also Play the TL1 LPC much the Same Way, being as Overall, it IS a Chieftain Variant of Sorts.... So, we'll see, I'll be Fine either way....
Dropped this last night on like the 47th roll used a couple of rerolls but not that many and have none of the other possible tanks so was gonna be happy with any tank drop, so yeah this dropped and I just stared at it spinning in my garage for a bit I will admit!
@@rsirotek Waffentrager event, you use the orange keys to open gates. click on the event box on bottom right when in the garage. Keys and gate icon on bottom right of waffentrager screen. Can purchase packs of keys or get as reward for participating in the event.
Still malding over the fact that the UK tech line still doesn't have it's own Chieftan, for the people. I don't want to have to go onto WoT Console just to have a freely available Chieftan to play with, all because I can't afford to gamble my life savings away.
It took me around 160 loot boxes to get it. I have basically all premiums except 2 which are the first 2 I got, then crappy KV4 and this was the last one. I guess I was unlucky. Don't worry I can afford it. :) Bad part of this loot box event is that basically compared to new year one, you never get gold if you get duplicated tank (at least this did not happen with me). All in all, I got 4 tanks and around 20mio silver/20k gold, so I'm happy. It kind of feels a bit less generous loot boxing, so be warned. :)
I have to admit, I spent money on 90 crates. BUT I got lucky and recieved 30 battles in WT E 100 and also tanks: FV4201 Chieftain Proto, KV-4 KTTS, Chieftain/T95, EMIL 1951, Škoda T 27, Kampfpanzer 07 RH, M48A2 Räumpanzer and aslo M54 Renegade (but I dont know how, because I didnt see it in the opening🤷♂ maybe I got it and disconnected, because my internet was laggy - I was very surprised when I saw it in my garage and it wasnt rental or something like that). The only tanks, which I didnt get were VK 75.01 (K) and ASTRON Rex 105 mm, because I already had AltProto AMX 30 and M-IV-Y. So I was very lucky to get all of this stuff. It was maybe because of the fact, that I already had skins from last year except bat-chat style (which I also earned:). By my estimate calculation I got tanks in about 3x more value than if I bought them in the shop and I am not counting other stuff into it, such as premium time, styles etc. For those of you, who are thinking about spending some money, I recommend using the opportunity of spending 250 golds on re-roll if you got trash and it is also counting as used key to get guaranteed tank. I was lucky enough to get tank sooner than 50. Fun fact: I had last key and I got trash stuff, so I re-rolled 3x times and got EMIL 1951 on my last 250 golds :D
Thanks for the informative video! Got quite lucky and pulled the Chief Prot. without having most of the tanks on the list. Looking forward to playing it. Cheers :)
Don't take much to be better than the Strv K. But this is good, and that's it. It's no Conq that's for sure. But in the right spot so the 122mm don't overmatch your roof? It can do well. But that bloom...
Hhheeeeeee! I have all those other tanks. GIVE ME MY KV-4 KTTS!! Screw that tier 9. I want some funny looking Soviet steel! Though I’ll take the chief proto if I’m given it. I’ve wanted the KV-4 KTTS ever since I first saw it years ago. Was it only ever available on the Asian server? I am so looking forward to getting home and playing this revamped version of the event! Hope I come across a gold one! I’ve never been up against a content creator before. Thanks once again for another look at a great looking tank, Quickybaby! Y’all stay safe out there! The virus ain’t gone quite yet. And happy hunting everyone!
so, bought 50 gates, had 20k gold in my acc from before on gate 48, using at least 3 rerolls each thing, and basically all my gold, I got 4 prems, I had the torvang rental which may or may not count as "owned" from their last in the future video, in order I got: ashton rex, one of the "misses" I actually didnt mind, the t8 cheiftan, which was a hit, the emil which I didnt want at all, didnt enjoy the t8 heavy or the t9 when working up the swedish tree and gave up before getting the t10, then finally the t9 I spent ~20k gold and 60dollars, got some random stuff like credits and premium time and a lot of demounting kits and some cosmetics... is it worth it? who knows, but my brain is fkn melted anyways. I am glad to get the tank I wanted without having to dip too hard, even if I spent a lot of money (even if my bank account will only show the -60 right now, but that gold was purchased a while ago)
oh, and I got 15 rental battles for the wf, but rerolled away 10 of them because I dont even want them also 8 keys left got me another 10 rentals, but I didnt want to reroll those last 8 since I got what I wanted
I’m sorry QB, but no one I’ve talked to or heard from has been exited for this tank. The only thing I’ve heard from the general population is how horrible the hulldown meta is and how stupid the Italian TDs are.
I wonder if we are playing the same World of Tanks game? I don't have a Chieftain Prototype anywhere in my WoT. And I never got the free Sixth Sense that all tanks we were supposed to get.
50 keys got me the T9 chieftan, KV-4 the T8 Chieftan, the EMIL, and the Astron rex. But I used roughly 28K gold rolling the keys. So I would say $170 USD got me 5 tanks. More than I wanted to spend but end of the day I guess it could have been worse
FUNNY STORY QB... I bought 50 crates just becasue and THE FIRST ONE I OPENED!!!!!,,,,,, Of course I am NOT a great player but this tank is FUN AF!!!!...
man, im glad i stopped playing WoT a long time ago. shit hit the fan hard these past couple years. Just wait till the actual Obj. 279 gets released, you're not penning that thing very well at all. though it will have a lower plate, it will be just as tough as the upper plate.
I always find that these types of tanks are the same that bitch about artillary because all they do is sit there and click but thats all u do in this tank. Find hill sit wait for opponents to come to you click lmao.

It is a T10 on console. Probably cheaper to buy a console and grind it out than to get the prototype lol.

Edit: I got the Tier 8 Chieftain/T95 now and the Astron Rex from only 12 more opened boxes, im so happy right now. Last 23 Boxes no more luck tho, but im obviously very lucky.
I have similar experience getting both chieftan and KV, with renegade, skoda and VK as a bonus
it took 8 month for it to go on the store. But it finally came in ! Im glad i bought one, its no OP and its very nice to play
The tank reminds me of when the FV4202 was at tier 10. Yes ik, the Fv4202 was the prototype for the chieftain like the FV4201 but it’s a nice throwback to when the FV4202 was the top tier British medium before the Centurion AX took its place.
QB forgot to mention the fact that this tank has HESH rounds with 120 pen and 515 Alpha and that's gonna be fun against softer targets as well
I am actually really glad that this tank is like, IDK above average? I was seriously afraid that chief proto, would be just as OP as The Chief, just with tier IX stats. Chief proto seems comparable to AE Phase I.
I'd rank it behind the ae, the gun handling trolls a lot and you cant sidescrape with the ae
Yeah, I’d say it’s just second place from the AE as the Phase 1 still performs better imo. I’d say the Chieftain proto is the love child of the STRV K and AE phase 1. But the chieftain it’s seriously giving me STRV k vibes atm.
@@phipschi4255 chief proto can't side scrape against anything above a 120mm unlike ae phase just having the round hull belly on side.
@@mywafflebroke6874 no, proto has a huge weakpoint when angled. Anything with over 190mm of pen will slice though it
@@mywafflebroke6874 and i did a mistake, i meant you CANT sidescrape like the ae
"Yo come at me bro" sounds like a sound clip for a QB commander (coming soon ; ) Rock on "Bro". 🤘😎
Think PC should get the Chieftain Mk 6 after the Conqueror like the Console version, Not sure why PC is holding it back as QB covered it years ago on another server. I rarely play my Chieftain on Console but with a Traction System which increases Speed by 10% (also increases Hull Traverse) goes 50-52 kph (as mobility got buffed) with a great 120 mm gun. Arguably one of the Best Tier X "Mediums" in the game. It felt a little sluggish before the buffs to me at least.
Last Years Chieftain Mk 6 Buffs:
Turret:
Cupola: 152 mm -> 230 mm
View range: 390 m -> 400 m
Traverse speed: 30 -> 34
Frontal armor above gun: 140mm -> 185mm
Hull
Side skirt: 6mm -> 20 mm
Gun
Premium ammo penetration: 310 -> 326
Health: 2200 -> 2300
Top Speed: 42 -> 46
Chassis
Terrain Resistance: 1.2/1.4/2.1 -> 0.8/1/1.7
Got this one with 20 keys bought and re rolling around 8-9 times so... a good bang for that buck! In total, almost half the price of a good tier 8 so I'm happy with it!
I don't have the Raumpanzer, Emil, Kpz rh and a few others from that list so I got lucky indeed.
I run mine with full bounty: rammer, turbo and stabs. It will always be slower than the Concept but the turret is arguably more durable, and while I in my main config for the Concept run with durability i feel like the armor of the Chief Proto means that you don't need the extra hit points as much. The armor is plenty trolly and you don't so much need a "go to angling strat" it's more about moving and wedging yourself up on rubble and stuff to create auto ricochet angles. Today I duelled a 60tp firing heat and I killed him without taking a single shot while doing his full hp.
I use bond rammer, improved aiming, and vents … I like being able to snipe weak spots lol
Wow, they actually gave a tank the same speeds (give or take) as it had irl, I'm impressed wargaming did something historical again
yeah but the gun was accurate 🤣
@@ivoryfoxmusic true, the Chieftain just used an *improved* 120mm to the Conqueror so it really makes no sense why first off the gun is a 119.38mm and also why it is worse than that of the conqueror
Its funny how QB is pretty much the only content creator who recommends using vents on many tanks.
Sleep is for the weak
lmaaaaaao
I used to drive past this tank every day on my way to work. Anyone who's interested, it’s sat up on the Portsdown hill road in Portsmouth UK by Qinetiq. Pretty sure the numbers on the hull match and everything.
Crazy min roll on that Conway at 18:57 for 300! Thanks for the video, always the best !!
I can tell you from experience, the front of the chieftain felt solid like a rock, was hard to believe it was metal.
I won't deny this was an error. But I got x3 of the 50 crates. And I got the Proto, even with 8 (including the two new tanks) on the list. I actually had good luck, getting 5 tanks out of those crates (averaging one tank for every $30 US). I'm with QB on this one however, I do not recommend attempting this unless either A: you have enough disposable income to potentially get everything, or B: you have most or all of the possible tank drops. As many of my friends have said, my luck is uncommonly good. Do NOT assume you will have my results. Most likely, you'll get one tank per $50, basically triggering the every 50 boxes you get a tank.
Hi WoT! Congrats on the T9 Premium, T10 Premiums will be along shortly. Regards, WoWS.
I got both the brand new tanks within 20 spins, probably the luckiest I’ve ever had in my life
I remember that it was you in ~ 2014 that made WG to release new T 8 Premium Tanks not only in a expensive Bundle, but also in a vanilla edition. Now this policie is gone with new T 9 Premium Tanks. 😂
QB: Wargaming im calling you out
Wargaming: Oh No! Anyway
WG contributor: It has a tiny weak point on the side which you can hide...
Reality: Defender (with TEEEERRRRRIBLE gun handling) snapshots you twice, exactly there, within 15 secs of meeting it, with gold that it doesn't need.
Maybe the kind of balance all purpose tanks (MBT ish tanks) need is weak roof armour. This way, artilleries will be back in the game too.
Arties need a huge buff to aiming speed and accuracy to be helpful.
Just saw my first one today, our 907 just shot straight through its turret, either side next to the gun, one shot just above the gun when he was above him. . Looks like tier 10s can just spam gold straight through next to the gun. . Against tier 7s it must be almost invincible though.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY WOT TH-camR YOU WATCHED! 😂😂😂
@@TheFrXion lol, you are the only one I have actually managed to watch live stream, that was a fun one last night, even if you did do some arty brutality 🤣
Setup is a bit weird. I'd go with vstab, rammer, turbo. Vents are not my favorite piece unless tank is all-rounder and I want to increase viewrange and gun handling at the same time, so it's mostly for autoloaders with rammer or low tiers without vstab. But considering pretty bad gun handling, rammer being a must and atrocious reverse speed ...
guy choppin wood in the beggining 00:00 got me good
Bought one pack and got this tank and also the M-IV-Y plus some gold... not a bad deal 😉
Hey QV, good content as always, I appreciate the reviews and the insight into the loot system. I don't get much time to play and am kind of a collector so I threw 50USD at 50 keys with hopes to get the Emil 1951 in all honesty. Made out with the Cheiftan/T95, Cheiftan Proto, and AP AMX 30 and a couple of the x10 WT E100 rentals. So I'll see how my luck and RNG are in game after those rolls.
Literally what im talking about WG be like 2% for free to play players but 100% chance for paying players 🤣🤣
@@yonyon8670 I got extremely lucky, there is probably some thay sepnt way more than me and got nothing.
@@M1903Enjoyer pretty sure it limited numbers of t9 chieftain and FTP gets 2% and PTP gets 30% WG hidden or secret detail 🤣 again im kidding but it feels this way
I Got 3 tanks i didnt have, chieftain the other chieftain and the ktts in 20 boxes. But i only got 1 kpz 07 from my 180 remaining boxes. Guarantee mechanic disappears if you have all the tanks.
@@askkutay sold out for 20 gates cap now its 200 gates to get 1
Nice video really good structure and the chapters help as well thanks for great work QB
QB doing these videos to give all of us an informed opinion. Someone in the comments, "omg QB youre using a 9 skill crew, i mean sure most of those skils dont even matter, but this is unfair!!!"
If this tank ends up being really good and all of that, I’ll buy it for cash in 6+ months. Not gonna waste my cash on the loot boxes.
Its the best tier 9 premium for sure, and i'd say average in comparison to tech tree tanks. I'll pick it up too because the idea of making bonds and credits at a better and more fun Tier to play seems really nice!
The gambling and paying money is maddening as you said QB.. it is worsened by the fact that to drastically increase your odds re-rolling and at least 500 gold per key which likely doubles your investment attempting to get the tank. It is very easy to drain your gold not thinking how costly it is
I bought 100 box and i get 9 and 8 tier chiftain, kv-4 ktts, altproto AMX 30, wt auf e 100, 10 battle trial. I already have every other premium tanks on the list
@quickybaby Small correction: APCR gives 2 degrees of normalisation not 3 degrees
QB, I spent $50 and got the Chieftain prototype right away. Great video, thanks again!
i managed to get the chieftain proto in 19 boxes and i don't have all the other tanks, so i guess i was extremely lucky
Reminds me of when i got the type 59 under 25 boxes! I'll try my luck but no more than 50 boxes.
Love the added chapters!
I know the way Wargaming worded the chances of receiving a premium tank in the loot boxes sounds like there is a 2.4% chance of receiving any premium tank per box, but my experience has been a bit different this time around. I am a relatively new player and only had 3 out of the 12 available premium vehicles in my garage at the start of this event, but so far I have opened 70 boxes and received 5 tanks; 3 of those were in the last set of 20 boxes, leaving my probability chance somewhere between 7-15%, depending on subset. The skeptic in me thinks that there might be some other probability formula at play here as some of these vehicles seem to be more valuable than others and most of those I received don't really suit my "armoured noob" play style, and I kinda feel like I am being baited into purchasing more boxes for the chance of getting the new Chieftain.
I'll probably cave and buy more :P
Hey Quickybaby I was really lucky did 1 purchase of the 50 keys and managed to get the FV4202 Chief. Proto. I think it's good to have their nine premium tanks to help get resources but I feel they should go back to how the Lowe was when it came in, being just above a tech tree tank not this over shadow the tech tree and make them feel useless in comparison. I'm not saying you're aren't able to do well in a tech tree tank, I feel they need to stop with premium tanks and go through and rework tanks, give them strengths while doing it to make it competitive who cares if Russian tanks get some nerfs but bring the game back to being fun. I could be the only one who is thinking like this but I feel Wargaming are just wanting more and more tanks in the game.
Or give us premium token to convert tech tree tanks to premium status. That will help out the game a lot
@@qawsqaws5284 that would be brilliant, I love playing tanks like the IS-3 and Cavalier but they either loose credits or simply don't profit at all. Even better, this would help out the situation with Tier 10 tanks loosing credits all the time.
@@the_victorious_1 play arti. 7/10 games you will make profit no matter what
@@qawsqaws5284 bro... Who cares about nerd fat artys
Got it yesterday for 20$ on my 10Th drop or something I'm very happy it's my first Hull down tank and will help me with my missions
TBH I bought those loot crates only because there is emil and renegade in the pool. Chief was only the cherry on top. :)
Do Tier 9 prems actually have credit multipliers? I thought they didnt, or is that only reward tanks that dont have multipliers?
Most tier9 non-tech tree tanks havent. This one has. Along two other ones.
Well i did ok QB. Spent £38 on the bundle pressed the button 50 times. Got the Chief and the KV as well as 5000 gold and premium and consumables etc. Only crap as the daft styles.
4k? Is that new?
I bought 50 boxes ($68 AUD) as I always do with these events, and comfortably got it from box 23 (with no re-rolls). Overall not impressed with the continuation of gambling, but it has always been fortunate to me.
i got lucky, bought 20 boxes, rerolled a few and got both chiefain's XD tier 8 chieftain/95 and tier 9 fv4201 cheiftain prototype. i did not expect that :D
looks nice. Great to see a comparison with other vehicles in the tier.
i bought 50 crates, got the Chieftain on my 3rd crate, since i own all the other tanks exept the emil 1951, i got both "new" premiums within those 50 crates and a few rerolls
Appreciate the 4k QB
I got super lucky lol I spent 20 USD to get 20 Engineer gate opens and I got the Chieftain Proto and the Bat Chat style, and I don't even own any of the premiums that are in the loot boxes
hmm...how about you test the new tanks stock at least from time to time? sure you can have good games if you have gold ammo on it, all the field mods, premium consumables....give us at least a glimpse on what they perform like without all those tweaks.
QB does not play tanks in pleb mode. He only reviews for the die hards that will spend half their life and income on the game.
And yeah, yesterday most of the random que was a lot of those vehicles…so just shows how many trying to get it.
I bought 50 crates because i don't own any of the premium tanks and i gained 4 tanks (Including the chief proto at crate 5) and 3, 3D skins so i profited and lucked out i guess.
Tank is sneaky OP in hands of a moderately decent player.
My Emil II is salivating looking at that commanders hatch
I dropped chief in a free crate, which you can get from missions :)) but did one reroll. That was my second premium crate.
The content in 4k really does look pretty sharp :)
The ONLY 3 Tanks I don't Have, are the 2 Chieftains and the KTTS, all the New One's... I have all the Other Tanks, so I figured my Chances of a Chieftain are Pretty Good, Tier 8 OR Tier 9... I like my Brit Tanks, I don't Play them as much as I'd like too, but the way the Game has been going lately, I just play the Tanks I'm not as Concerned with more than the one's I WANT to Play, save those for Recon and the Test Server.... I have 1900+ Battles in my 4202 training Crews for my Other Tanks, so, that's gotta say Something... lol
I also Play the TL1 LPC much the Same Way, being as Overall, it IS a Chieftain Variant of Sorts.... So, we'll see, I'll be Fine either way....
I am so incredibly lucky.. I've bought 20 of these boxes.. Chieftain/T95 and Chieftain Proto. ... :D
Not to promote gambling but I bought 20 boxes to try my luck. I got the Emil, t95 chief and the chief proto. Definitely calling that a win.
Lootboxes overall shud be illegal
Dropped this last night on like the 47th roll used a couple of rerolls but not that many and have none of the other possible tanks so was gonna be happy with any tank drop, so yeah this dropped and I just stared at it spinning in my garage for a bit I will admit!
what do you mean about dropped, how do you get this tank?
@@rsirotek Waffentrager event, you use the orange keys to open gates. click on the event box on bottom right when in the garage. Keys and gate icon on bottom right of waffentrager screen. Can purchase packs of keys or get as reward for participating in the event.
well done for calling them out and not being a shill.
Still malding over the fact that the UK tech line still doesn't have it's own Chieftan, for the people. I don't want to have to go onto WoT Console just to have a freely available Chieftan to play with, all because I can't afford to gamble my life savings away.
It took me around 160 loot boxes to get it. I have basically all premiums except 2 which are the first 2 I got, then crappy KV4 and this was the last one. I guess I was unlucky. Don't worry I can afford it. :) Bad part of this loot box event is that basically compared to new year one, you never get gold if you get duplicated tank (at least this did not happen with me). All in all, I got 4 tanks and around 20mio silver/20k gold, so I'm happy.
It kind of feels a bit less generous loot boxing, so be warned. :)
Love the 4K video! pls keep making them!
Bought 50 keys, and got it after 38 tries, happy puppy here, And got a AMPFPANZER 07 RH with the last role too. 45 euro well spent
QB in 4K?!
I have to admit, I spent money on 90 crates. BUT I got lucky and recieved 30 battles in WT E 100 and also tanks: FV4201 Chieftain Proto, KV-4 KTTS, Chieftain/T95, EMIL 1951, Škoda T 27, Kampfpanzer 07 RH, M48A2 Räumpanzer and aslo M54 Renegade (but I dont know how, because I didnt see it in the opening🤷♂ maybe I got it and disconnected, because my internet was laggy - I was very surprised when I saw it in my garage and it wasnt rental or something like that). The only tanks, which I didnt get were VK 75.01 (K) and ASTRON Rex 105 mm, because I already had AltProto AMX 30 and M-IV-Y. So I was very lucky to get all of this stuff. It was maybe because of the fact, that I already had skins from last year except bat-chat style (which I also earned:). By my estimate calculation I got tanks in about 3x more value than if I bought them in the shop and I am not counting other stuff into it, such as premium time, styles etc. For those of you, who are thinking about spending some money, I recommend using the opportunity of spending 250 golds on re-roll if you got trash and it is also counting as used key to get guaranteed tank. I was lucky enough to get tank sooner than 50. Fun fact: I had last key and I got trash stuff, so I re-rolled 3x times and got EMIL 1951 on my last 250 golds :D
I got it on my second key which shocked me. I didn't even have any of the other tanks unlocked.
Bought 5 keys for the hell of it and got the chieftain on my second roll, I am so happy 😄
you're 1 out of 100 buyers ...
@@xrayban2 probably tier 8 version lol
Got it in 13 roles and 3 other premiums. Plus a 3d style for the Patton
Nice! I got it after probably 50 or so lol. I got the Renegade and the Chief P like 2 rolls later
Quickybaby I bought 20 engineer's starters and on my 3rd attempt it gave me the chieftain... Without reroll. It wasn't too hard.. Lol.
(Was dismayed QB didn't compare this to the AE Phase I)
QB: NOBODY CARES ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER (JUNK TANKS)
Me being free to play: :( the renegade looks nice tho-
Thanks for the informative video! Got quite lucky and pulled the Chief Prot. without having most of the tanks on the list. Looking forward to playing it. Cheers :)
Don't take much to be better than the Strv K. But this is good, and that's it. It's no Conq that's for sure. But in the right spot so the 122mm don't overmatch your roof? It can do well. But that bloom...
Hhheeeeeee! I have all those other tanks. GIVE ME MY KV-4 KTTS!! Screw that tier 9. I want some funny looking Soviet steel! Though I’ll take the chief proto if I’m given it.
I’ve wanted the KV-4 KTTS ever since I first saw it years ago. Was it only ever available on the Asian server?
I am so looking forward to getting home and playing this revamped version of the event! Hope I come across a gold one! I’ve never been up against a content creator before.
Thanks once again for another look at a great looking tank, Quickybaby!
Y’all stay safe out there! The virus ain’t gone quite yet. And happy hunting everyone!
Love the 4K upload!
so, bought 50 gates, had 20k gold in my acc from before
on gate 48, using at least 3 rerolls each thing, and basically all my gold, I got 4 prems, I had the torvang rental which may or may not count as "owned" from their last in the future video, in order I got: ashton rex, one of the "misses" I actually didnt mind, the t8 cheiftan, which was a hit, the emil which I didnt want at all, didnt enjoy the t8 heavy or the t9 when working up the swedish tree and gave up before getting the t10, then finally the t9
I spent ~20k gold and 60dollars, got some random stuff like credits and premium time and a lot of demounting kits and some cosmetics... is it worth it? who knows, but my brain is fkn melted anyways. I am glad to get the tank I wanted without having to dip too hard, even if I spent a lot of money (even if my bank account will only show the -60 right now, but that gold was purchased a while ago)
oh, and I got 15 rental battles for the wf, but rerolled away 10 of them because I dont even want them
also 8 keys left got me another 10 rentals, but I didnt want to reroll those last 8 since I got what I wanted
I’m sorry QB, but no one I’ve talked to or heard from has been exited for this tank. The only thing I’ve heard from the general population is how horrible the hulldown meta is and how stupid the Italian TDs are.
i brought the taster bundle for £3.8somthing and rerolled about 3000 gold and got this so im happy
I wonder if we are playing the same World of Tanks game? I don't have a Chieftain Prototype anywhere in my WoT. And I never got the free Sixth Sense that all tanks we were supposed to get.
50 keys got me the T9 chieftan, KV-4 the T8 Chieftan, the EMIL, and the Astron rex. But I used roughly 28K gold rolling the keys. So I would say $170 USD got me 5 tanks. More than I wanted to spend but end of the day I guess it could have been worse
QB -- Fantastic review. I will not try and buy through a loot crate but will wait until it is bundled. Thanks.
Good choice!
FUNNY STORY QB... I bought 50 crates just becasue and THE FIRST ONE I OPENED!!!!!,,,,,,
Of course I am NOT a great player but this tank is FUN AF!!!!...
You forgot the AE Phase 1 QB.
You know the powercreep and meta have gotten really bad when a tank that's overall "average" - like this one - is simply not good enough anymore.
man, im glad i stopped playing WoT a long time ago. shit hit the fan hard these past couple years. Just wait till the actual Obj. 279 gets released, you're not penning that thing very well at all. though it will have a lower plate, it will be just as tough as the upper plate.
I always find that these types of tanks are the same that bitch about artillary because all they do is sit there and click but thats all u do in this tank. Find hill sit wait for opponents to come to you click lmao.
