I remember people calling TS-5 toxic. Now compare this monster to the TS-5. The XM has better armor, it has a turret. TS-5 has 248 penetration, XM has 270. TS-5 has 400 damage, XM has 630. I'm not even gonna compare it with the regular tech tree tanks. It's a pure pay-2-win the most toxic tank in the game.
For some reason, i cant comment normally, so i have to comment here:"When i saw the title, i tought there would be like a timelapse of all ur Ammoracks/oneshots" XD
How do they keep adding these tanks into the game.... EASY, WARGAMING HAS HITLER SYNDROME. AKA SUFFERING FROM MEGALOMANIA everything must be more powerful, bigger and better than last year, because they have no fking idea how to balance the game at this point
The dumbest part of this tank is the near 90* turret arc each way, makes it impossible to track it on any corner that’s larger than a 75* turn without taking a shot
matchmaking is putting at least two XM57s together on a team, makes it really difficult to face, with one to deal with you have a chance, two is too much, well done Wargaming for making this game even worse than it already was
I have a sneaking Claus Kellerman level theory, the reason they release these toxic tanks at tier 8 is to make the MM for credit grinding at that tier so toxic that you are forced to buy a tier 9 prem. Could be that I am wrong but it reeks of that.
I think tier 8 being toxic is just a consequence of power creeping. Wargaming realizes this and had made tier 9 premium. Now the only problem is if they release anything better than DTZ it will break tier 9 too. DTZ already stretching it.
they are certainly making it hard for you to farm credits in your tier 8 premium, i have the T-34-3 which is fun to play but boy is it tough against the new loot box pay 2 win tanks and previous OP shit like the Borat, Prog 46 and BZ-176, the XM57 is my new nemesis
The biggest issue in my opinion is tier VI and VII. As long as these tanks are locked to only+ MM it would be ok. Tier VII is still kind of fun, as long as you don't have to face these tier VIII donkey-tanks.
@@michaelherrera6264 that td is so unreasonably broken, anyone could clap tier 9's in it. played it maxed out and got enough xp for the tier 8 with no fragments after 5 battles. 4.1k average damage, 2k average base xp.
The module damage of this tank is 210 which is tied to the other 155mm guns of the t95, t30, e3, e4 and foch 155. Most ammoracks without the safe stowage perk have 210 hp. Most fueltanks sit at 200 hp. Just keep in mind. This tier 8 tank claps modules harder than 150mm guns of the 60tp, Grille, Blyska or 268. at tier 10.
Man i'm glad this tank has so many downsides in exchange for having crazy 630 alpha at tier 8 like uh... like... like uh... idk gambling addiction you got after buying lootboxes for it.
Clearly a fairly balanced tonk. They should maybe give it DZT's turbos, cut the gun ads in half and make it move at 60 km/h... this is anything but fun. It is actually bpring to play like this, knowing fully well that you are not dying without at least 3k damage as a tier 8, mind you
i nearly 3 marked this tank first day, got to 94.6%, then every turbo game combined with the derpy ass gun i went back down to 85% and gave up, but this thing is a monster in the right hands
alot of the tier 8 tds are balanced out with how clunky they play out, for eg isu152 is a glass cannon turretless td and the rhm borsig though it has a turret, its a glass cannon with low top speed. with the xm57 released its just a t95 with a turret, and if it plays hull down, its difficult to deal with for most tier 8s, or impossible for tier 7s and 6s. Even the xm66f that was released last year is a far more balanced tank. Sure the xm57 is slow, but with the design of most maps focused on corridor fights, its not a problem for it.
you can also find the XM57 on the sovi, ahem russian server at tier 10 more armor, more dpm, slightly higher pen on AP, and 360 HEAT pen(not that good) also gets hydro-pneumatic suspension, but worse depression over sides... i think the problem is how far forward the turret is placed and the ability to peak corners with exposing itself too much
I got a chieftain prototype already on the 1st box of waffentrager event back then. So i guess i cant really complain with the tier 8 broken tank now huh 🤣🤣🤣 I think it was the free box, if im not mistaken. But if i did buy boxes it would be the minimum amount as well as it is not on my main account. On my main i pretty much bought till i own everything
I am a RU server player and guess what? We already have it as a tier 10 vehicle with the same alpha but with the 360 HEAT as a gold round. Thus I believe that this tank is supposed to be at the tier 10😂😂. Love your vids! ❤
GUYS! when you get incredibly lucky, get matched with low tiers, use only premium rounds to lose 60K credits, only use premium consumables, use bond equipment, have the best crew possible and run bond directives.... THIS TANK IS ACTUALLY GOOD!!! xD
Left the game years ago. In the meantime they managed to fuck it up even further. Such a shame. I remember the times that the premium tanks were decent and similar to their non-prems.
You push, you penetrate. This tank and gun slaps really hard. One issue which might contribute to the problems inside of world of tanks are rations and bond equipment. Those factors have to be included while trying to balance the tanks. But on the other hand, those special-premiums have to be fun for "normal" people, so tanks get extremely broken when used to its full potential (e.g. hit rate is very important).
Got this fella in under 25 boxes. At first i was actually mad, because i literally despise e3 for its mobility, but damn, this tank is cracked. Racking up up to 1mil credits an hour playing grom + xm back to back is pretty wild lmao All i need now is bz to complete the holy overpowered trinity
Friendly reminder that T28 HTC (very similar look and concept) which has less dpm, half the alpha, significantly less armor, basically no pen and HP is only a single tier lower than this. And no it does not get pmm They somehow managed to make an e3 with even fewer weaknesses 2 tiers lower
Compare to the AT 15. XM has better armour, alpha, pen and similar mobility. The least WG could’ve done would be to add a massive cupola or make the shoulder plates pennable.
If it peeks with the tracks covered by rubble there is nothing you can do against it. You could flank, but if you are in an opposing hard td like AT15 or T28 thats not really possible. You have to expose more to duel, your alpha and pen are worse. and its pen with gold at 315 will easily defeat your frontal armour
The problem with this tank is the stupid penetration, it makes it so toxic to play against in any heavy tank I dont think there is a single tank at tier 8 that can actually relaibly bounce this tanks gun in the turret
After seeing this video i am actually kind of happy with my Toro. It's not the best, but it's a comfortable tank to play, while XM seems like a pain to aim, and similar to the vipera in a way
Check out new French T10 TD, the 120 AC "Gendarme" which was introduced in the RU server. Talk about OP. New H-3/Greyhound, USA T10 heavy is pretty cool also.
this is the first year i bought boxes. got really lucky getting all the tanks i expected to enjoy the Contra and DZT the most. i do still prefer the DZT over the XM but the XM is just such a bully of a tank. it peeks corners like a gremlin and devourers enemies like a all you can eat buffet. its just so insane. and i even have the Grom but man XM is comfier to play
@stefanonbekend8177 160. yeah its a big bundle but it will keep me floating for the year since I'll basically just buy the improved Battlepass, any bonus Battlepass chapter tanks and maybe some of the tech tree gold tanks.
@@Gentle_Ghost_Hunter Last year i bought 250 boxes. 3x 75 boxes, and 1x 25 boxes. 340 Euro that was my first time i spent so much on the game. For years i bought nothing. I played arround 10 years. This year i not gona buy i think. Yesterday i got a special offer, 4 boxes for 1 Euro. I only bought that. But other peopl didn't get that offer. The game is not so fun too play on the moment, only big wins big loses. So no more money for wg😉
I BLIND one shotted an ELC EVEN the other day, using HE, on Oyster Bay. You know, the magic bushes on E4/E5? Always, no matter which side I am spawning with a good HE pen gun, I take 2-3 blind shots on those bushes :) 1/2 of the time I get at least one hit :D
It's obvious why this tank was added. Wg screwed up with the BZ176 and rather than admit their mistake and nerf it, they add the XM to try and counter it. Typical WG thinking.
One of the best things to do in this TD is to get an HE pen with it, since it can clock over 1k dmg if you roll slightly high Overall, I say I quite like this one, perhaps it is my favourite out of the bunch of tanks this year. If the speed/power to weightratio was better, then I would love it even more but then again if it was fast, then that would just make it WAYYYY too OP
this piece of tank has a tier 10 gun with tier 9/10 alpha. you can pen the front of the tank, like left and right beside the turret, in like the turtle shell, but its a fkin hard shot. but if this turtle sticks it's head in the dirt, and only snaps when it's hungry....fuck me thats disgusting in the hands of good caretaker.
Wargaming added yet another broken overpowered tier 8 premium tanks Me: Fine I'll nerf them myself I don't care if I get banned a lot I will nerf them in my own way
I can't believe how you just snap shots..Whenever I snap shot the shot lands in a different post code. Even when I'm fully aimed it hits like 1/3 shells wtf
Powercreep in WOT. They know people want to buy OP tanks, so they make them... MM has to be changed. OP tier 8-s should never meet tier 6 and 7 (XM57, BZ176, ELC, EBR etc). Sic transit gloria mundi... Yesterday TS5, BZ were "unpenetrable", now this XM can pen them everywhere... Next year we will get an other tank that eats XM's for breakfast.
Man I'm so glad I left the game when EBRs were introduced. So much sh!t was released since than I can't even believe it. Watching Kajzoo and Xin is more than enough to satisfy my nostalgia. No need to play it any more.
I think it has alot more to do with the player than the Tank :) Just look at the scores of the other XM57's on other team or when your playing in a different tank and there's a couple in the match.. Thanks !!
Hi Kaj, big fan here! I was curious, your home page says you're from Spain but your accent doesn't sound Spanish. Where are you from? Just curious. Please keep up the great content!
Bought 12 boxes for gold and SU-100I. Got Squall on 3rd (4th with free one). The tank I least was interested in. Did not get 100I. Never ever buying anything ingame again. Not because of luck, but in general of the game's direction and prices. P.s. Squall and XM57 are the same tier btw. Equals in battle performance in WG's eyes...
0.43 dispersion, from what I've seen fighting it, almost never misses. This tank is just dumb, it's not BZ-176 levels of dumb, but still. 270 standard pen on AP, 311 on gold, goes close range against heavies which now have no armor. Unpennable hulldown, the cupola is troll af even if you see it. Like the contradictious, just aim up and you have no weakspot. Very toxic designs on this, the dzt and the contra. They are trying to get as much money as possible before it dies
I actually love tanks like this. It's slow, predictable, flankable and, most importantly, still penetrable. XM is very strong in the frontal brawl, but pays with everything else. Let's be realistic, this tank at tier 8 is weaker then E3 at tier 10. This tank is actually very good. Enjoyable to play on it, no big problem to play against it. Compare this to BZ-176 and you would immediately understand that this tank is totally fine. I approve it so much.
@@ExplodingBlocks Now compare T28 to other premium t8. What about Vipera, Ka-Ri, Grom? Why no one cries that those are OP? Sure, these tanks are better then T28. Premium tanks are better then usual nowadays. And it can't be the other way! The game is 15 Y.O., almost no newcomers. Everybody has a lot of prem tanks, or at least a couple (you can buy those for free for bonds). What would be the reason for players to bring money? Yes, the devs have to make tanks good, that's the only way now.
Am I happy I left the game behind... 300 heat pen is like already annoying at t8, normally a tank has to give up a lot to gain that, but premiums evidently don't and this has 300 pen APCR, maybe on angles it is shit but spaced armour won't even help that much and I believe many lately released, viable, tanks are a bit more flat. Yes, how skilled the player playing is matters, but when the tank is also (or at least seems to be) very forgiving when it comes to mistakes (at least when you have a bit of knowledge) and gets shells that mean guaranteed penetrations, the tank needs significantly less skill because you don't have to even aim more then "tank is bigger then reticle. Ooga booga click is penetration".
Compared to Bz-176 it's just amikir nuisance until people get used to counter it. There has been a ton of stats.creep an the pen side. Doing bonk missoons is a sad joke by now.
OP TD + full premium ammo usage (with 270 base pen) against same or weaker tanks is not challenge and not so much skill. Just pure P2W. The armor protection is close to zero against these broken tanks. Great WG. Just carry on to kill the tier VI+ battles completely. This causes so much turbo battles next to MM and other factors of course.

Two questions: are all the ammo racks, fires, etc with or without the Deadeye skill? Also, do you get more of those if you use APCR vs AP?
If it peeks with the tracks covered by rubble there is nothing you can do against it. You could flank, but if you are in an opposing hard td like AT15 or T28 thats not really possible. You have to expose more to duel, your alpha and pen are worse. and its pen with gold at 315 will easily defeat your frontal armour

a Tiger 1 against this is INSANE to me.
Man I'm so glad I left the game when EBRs were introduced. So much sh!t was released since than I can't even believe it. Watching Kajzoo and Xin is more than enough to satisfy my nostalgia. No need to play it any more.
This tank gives other players a War Thunder experience 😂
This Tank is not weak - it's ridiculous OP. Thought WG don't do the same BS as with Bz 176 again... but no they did it again and more worse.
Extremely good TD, for me the best tier 8 prem one after Shptk
Tell me about it. Without being ammoracked i took 1 shot from this tank in my BZ-176 and instant ammoracked and turret blown of. Like WTF???
T95 with autoloader and big-ass turret welded on
oh and a V66 engine
I think it has alot more to do with the player than the Tank :) Just look at the scores of the other XM57's on other team or when your playing in a different tank and there's a couple in the match.. Thanks !!
My last battle in this tank - zero DMG against tier X...
Hi Kaj, big fan here! I was curious, your home page says you're from Spain but your accent doesn't sound Spanish. Where are you from? Just curious. Please keep up the great content!
Im from Hungary, living in Spain :)
@@kajzoo Ah, got it, thanks! Viva Hungaria!
World of Tanks turns into War Thunder
Friendly reminder that this tank is a Bureau tier 10 tank for 126000000 credits on RU server.
LOL
Thos tank is example of the new 700dmg in one shot in tier 8. .... Instantly lower the alfa dmg to 530 and speed to 20 km/h max
Bought 12 boxes for gold and SU-100I. Got Squall on 3rd (4th with free one). The tank I least was interested in. Did not get 100I. Never ever buying anything ingame again. Not because of luck, but in general of the game's direction and prices.
P.s. Squall and XM57 are the same tier btw. Equals in battle performance in WG's eyes...
you think its an upgrade from XM66F?
The broken think is just YOU playing this tank =)
0.43 dispersion, from what I've seen fighting it, almost never misses. This tank is just dumb, it's not BZ-176 levels of dumb, but still. 270 standard pen on AP, 311 on gold, goes close range against heavies which now have no armor. Unpennable hulldown, the cupola is troll af even if you see it. Like the contradictious, just aim up and you have no weakspot. Very toxic designs on this, the dzt and the contra. They are trying to get as much money as possible before it dies
How to How to..... pick one out of 10 battles where we had above average battles.
Come again?
WG never sell this tank again like bz176
its so funny. i saw that tank and how much armor it has and i allready knew how bad this gonne end
I actually love tanks like this. It's slow, predictable, flankable and, most importantly, still penetrable. XM is very strong in the frontal brawl, but pays with everything else. Let's be realistic, this tank at tier 8 is weaker then E3 at tier 10.
This tank is actually very good. Enjoyable to play on it, no big problem to play against it. Compare this to BZ-176 and you would immediately understand that this tank is totally fine. I approve it so much.
Compare it to a T28… the free to play alternative. Don’t compare it to another pay to win tank
You won't even have a chance to flank it when it before it decimate your hts and enemies swarm you.
@@ExplodingBlocks Now compare T28 to other premium t8. What about Vipera, Ka-Ri, Grom? Why no one cries that those are OP? Sure, these tanks are better then T28. Premium tanks are better then usual nowadays. And it can't be the other way! The game is 15 Y.O., almost no newcomers. Everybody has a lot of prem tanks, or at least a couple (you can buy those for free for bonds). What would be the reason for players to bring money? Yes, the devs have to make tanks good, that's the only way now.
@@omuffin1854 Pen it's cupola then, man, come on :)
Am I happy I left the game behind... 300 heat pen is like already annoying at t8, normally a tank has to give up a lot to gain that, but premiums evidently don't and this has 300 pen APCR, maybe on angles it is shit but spaced armour won't even help that much and I believe many lately released, viable, tanks are a bit more flat.
Yes, how skilled the player playing is matters, but when the tank is also (or at least seems to be) very forgiving when it comes to mistakes (at least when you have a bit of knowledge) and gets shells that mean guaranteed penetrations, the tank needs significantly less skill because you don't have to even aim more then "tank is bigger then reticle. Ooga booga click is penetration".
Skorpion/borsig/ferdinand/jp2 have had 311 APCR pen and Su-130pm 320heat for ages, it‘s not that unusual for TD
Compared to Bz-176 it's just amikir nuisance until people get used to counter it.
There has been a ton of stats.creep an the pen side. Doing bonk missoons is a sad joke by now.
Like seriously why is the module damage on this so high? Every third shot is ammo, fire or both wtf?
OP TD + full premium ammo usage (with 270 base pen) against same or weaker tanks is not challenge and not so much skill. Just pure P2W. The armor protection is close to zero against these broken tanks.
Great WG. Just carry on to kill the tier VI+ battles completely.
This causes so much turbo battles next to MM and other factors of course.
Reminds me of seal clubbing for some reason :)))
The gun trolling is why I play it with bounty improved aiming, otherwise I hate my life playing it 😂
Same tier as the AT15 and the TVP VTU, by the way.
even as an IS-7 I hesitate to peak this shit
this made me want to play the tank and first game i ammorack someone for 900. kajzoo gave rng
Still not as broken as the BZ-176. But it's still toxic as fuck
