But in the current years they should not be weaker. Back in the time they were weaker but, they had preferential Match Making. So these days they should be a bit more balanced, Especially since they can see tier X battles.
But you get a worse gun and worse side hull armour as a result. There's a trade off for sure but the turret armour isn't actually that much better on the AX.
Duckman1616 The turret buff lets you stand and fight more which yields higher dpg in the long run, despite having 300 less dpm and lower alpha per shot. I don't care too much about the side armor because this thing is dead in the open anyways.
You're only gaining about 10mm of effective armour on the turret unless they fire into the spaced armour on the cheeks, it's not really going to hold up much better. Side armour isn't just about being out in the open, it helps a lot when side scraping or angling the tank. The AX also has a much more prominent cupola, making it more vulnerable on maps where you can't use your gun depression to hide it. I just don't see how it's going to perform better than the regular version.
The thing with the caernarvon AX is even though it only deals 230 dmg, it does fire 2-2.5x than what the other heavies can manage, so in retrospect it does have an average damage of 460 provided both shots penetrated.
Bought it, and enjoying it. Armour is very bouncy in my experience (3000 +) . Much better than FV201, which i dislike. A good crew is esential. Gun proving to be ultra accurate. No regrets.
The fact that this tank isn't the "latest and greatest" is a great thing. It's a premium tank that won't feel like it's pay to win, like the Skorpion G. This is a good thing! Well done WG :)
skorpion G is by far no pay to win. gun is too random (maybe some secret nerfs to gun stats?). if you look for a pay to win tank (means: too strong compared to its regular tech-tree-tank): Defender, Patriot, Chrysler GF, WZ-120-1 FT, E25, centurion MK 5. I admit, skorpion G can be very strong, but you have to know about the game to use it properly. Otherwise: If you are spotted, you are dead!
The Skorp is a Ravioli but better in almost every way. The only thing that's *significantly* better on the Ravioli is its health and gun depression. Skorp has better pen, alpha, reload, accuracy, top speed, engine power, etc. "Like the Ravioli? Here, try this better version, the Skorp G!" That's p2w in my book. Yes the tank has flaws, but the fact that it's just a better version of another premium feels like p2w to me. I'm not saying some of those other tanks aren't p2w, like the E25, Panzer J, etc. But the Skorp fits the bill for me.
Please, do not compare mediums with TDs. Want to compare the Skorpion? Compare it to its regular counter-part in the tech-tree: Rhm.Borsig WT. Armour: same; DPM: better on Borsig; Gunhandling: slightly better on Skorp; mobility: better on Skorp; camo-values: much better on Borsig; Maybe the Skorpion is slightly better than the Borsig due to its great mobility, but a well placed Borsig is still very strong. So Skorpion is a very strong tank, but in my opinion no pay to win like other tanks. A pay to win tank is (in my eyes) a tank that allows errors and you still perform good.
A tank that allows errors and is still a good tank is an OP tank, not p2w. You're confusing the two. OP would be a tank that can perform well even when used by crap players in many scenarios - such as the Type 4/5 Heavy, 268-4, Panzer J, etc. A tank that is p2w is simply a tank that can be bought and provide *significant* advantages. The Skorp and Borsig are similar in tank classification and name, and that's about it. A better comparison of a premium to a standard would be the T-34-85 and T-34-85M. Almost the same tank, and excellent example of how a premium should be. The Skorp is nothing like the Borsig. Vastly different guns (when using the 750 alpha, aka the top gun), vastly different mobility, vastly different camo. They don't play similarly. Borsig relies on camo while the Skorp relies on ambush and kiting from long distances - something the Borsig could never do - hence why the Skorp compares to the Ravioli so much better. The Skorp is a Ravioli except better in almost every way. There's a reason the Skorp is by far the most bought premium tank in the game.
I quit marathon. 4 hours of playing every day definetly not worth. After 2 hours of play I lose interest for game, and dont care will my team win or lose...
@@elliotmason5694 I like this game, have acc since 2011. Im ok with mini marathons for t5 and t6, but this is insane. This tank definetly is NOT FREE as wg said. Average player will invest time, get 5th or 6th level, and then will be forced to buy it with real money or previous effort will be lost.
I did all my crew training I'm the tier 5 Excelsior heavy tank since that was the only heavy I had and trained the crew for the fv215b which is now the super conquer
I already bought this tank, didnt even bother with the grind, i dont have alot of time but i have enough money, it was 75 bucks all in all. i find it to be a fun tank. i bounce alot of shots when i probably shouldnt, and i also tend to not have problems penning. is it worth 75 bucks, prob not but i will say that i enjoy the tank but as for what QB said, this tank is not for the faint of heart. it take skill and patience. if you do not have those then i would grind for the other things instead of the tank. good vid QB keep it up.
like i said, i dont have alot of time, i work alot and grinding was really not in my plans, time to me is money, i waste time i also waste money so just buy it and save my time.
people like u make me laugh-once this pos rigged ass game goes under-all tha $$ will be for nothing-why support a pos company like wg? really noob?? lmao
Just stick with the Centurion Mk. 5/1 RAAC . Same gun ,10mm less armour on front with more speed and traverse and the armour on the Action x dont mean shite anyway with premium ammo punching through it. Unless it gets a beefer gun i won't bother and i'm british i would love to own it just not worth it with that gun.
I like the regular Caernarvon. This looks good enough to me, but not to actually pay money for it. BTW, quick tip, if you tend to find yourself running out of regular ammo and having to use premium ammo, carry less premium and more regular. It helps in that regard. Good video.
I tend to do the same. If the gun is not tiny, for example my IS-6 I use 19 regular, 4 premium, 7 HE. Obviously if 40-50% of my ammo is premium eventually I am going to have to use it, then be "disappointed" I "had" to use premium ammo...
@@Trusteft even if it is a tiny gun if I'm bottom tier I'll only use HE the purpose of tracking, breaking stuff and doing damage if only a little since standard rounds will bounce.
For superunicums like QB, being in bottom tier does not stop them from carrying games in tier 10 matches. They just treat it as a half HP tier 10 using the premium ammo. Hence, they carry a lot of premium ammos in case they do need them. And even if it is expensive occasionally to use these shells, most of the time they make a lot more silvers per game than the average players so it will not matter.
I actually do train British heavy crews in the TOG. Have the A45 but that thing is incredibly bad (although I've seen some players able to make it work, its basically a BP that gives up armor for nothing in return). Never felt the need to get the Excelsior, though if I can get it through tank rewards once that is back I certainly won't mind. Don't have the time or money to buy/grind the Caernarvon AX, as much as I want it. Got through the first stages in one session this weekend but that's all the time I have to play until after the marathon is over.
So how come I never get games like this? At one point he stops on top of those staris and talks! And no one is attacking him! Its like he's playing against bots. I don't get it. If I were the only tank on that side of the map, and they spoted me, I'd get ripped a new arsehole...
BRITISH BIAS!!! Some talk of Alexander, and some if Hercules. Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these. But of all the worlds’ great heroes there are none that can compa-are; With a tow-row-row-tow-row to the British -Grenadier- Tank Driver!
Thanks. You sort of confirmed what I thought. I've missed the start of the challenge due to being on holiday. Being British, it would have been nice to have. But as I already have good crews in my tier 8 & 10 British heavies. There is no point in me putting the effort or the money into this tank. Cheers!
"I think you'd have to be a little bit crazy to want to play the TOG that much." He means as a grinding vehicle to train a crew. Playing the TOG every now and again doesn't make you crazy, just slightly off. :P
I find camping in this game quite rewarding especially if your team are a bunch of tomatoes. You get more XP for staying alive longer and farming up some damage from a distance.
LOL, that battle shows the Cinderella circumstances. What usually happens, on the NA server, is your team camps like crazy and you have to trade with an IS3 which results in you doing 722 damage to him as he farms your 1,500 hp or your team storms the field and you struggle to do much damage as they voraciously devour the enemy team.
Just got this tank after grinding out 225k xp and it feels powerful, i didn't have a great first game, but the gun handling and the armor are both good enough for anyone who at least has the iq of a rock.
You forgot the Excelsior :D My first and only British prem tank. I got this tank in a marathon but still didn't play a game in it. Finally there is a marathon with a decent British prem; already completed 4 stages *yay*
I didn't enjoy the old Caernarvon when I had to go through it to get FV 215b before it was replaced, so instead of playing 3-4 hours a day I will stay with my FV4202.
lol, well said. For a while I used HE when I couldn't pen, and people at tier 10 tend to carry more HE which is annoying when you're hull down or angling very well...
The 230 alpha is doable its just those low rolls....sometimes feels like you are using the 16 pnder with the low dmg rolls. Since it doesn't really play like a heavy tank, its alpha is inline with most mediums. So it doesn't bother me so much when it comes down to it. Its a ridge line support sniper is how you have to use at it. Another nice thing that can happen often is no one will pay attention to you in a multi tank kind of brawn because of your lower alpha and play back a bit from the brawlers. That allows you to peck away or track vehicles a lot. I loved the standard Caernarvon just after the turret buff and no 32 pnder at that time.... so I am sure this is going to be great to have.
I may just be addicted and have no life, but I didn't think the P46 marathon was that bad, and this supposedly made an easier so I don't think the marathon is bad at all. I could probably finish it 2 1/2 times if I wanted to.
Simple question. If you already have a fully loaded Caenarvon (32 pounder) would it be worth investing in the AX? - which of the 2 would you select if you had both?
I admire you, you are explaining that the tank is utter crap but the wording and the cadence is so good that when you compare the stats they sound as it will be enjoyable, good to use, competitive. WG PR department should pay you for this marketing.
QB shows why it is so important for the team to defend that end of the ridge. If the enemy makes it up on that corner like QB did and controls it all they have to do is just sit there and spot for arty and its like shooting fish in a barrel. So many players don't realize this when playing that side of the map. This map is badly flawed IMO. One side is much easier to win from than the other. WG needs to address this problem with the map. They need to balance it out better.
As this is the first tier 8 premium heavy for the British, I think that it fits in the line fairly well. Is the tank on it's own worth the money and/or time for the grind? No, certainly not, but when you factor in that you also get 30 2 hour boosters for 50% extra credits, a crew and a lot of other goodies, I think that the price is at least a little fair. I set the goal for myself to grind the missions to at least level 5, and I am at the moment working on level 4, so I got that going for me. I think that with a 50% discount, paying 30 euros is doable, since you get everything and not just the tank.
Quick question: why is the appearance of the game totally different with you? The menus, buttons, everything. Is there an update thats gonna upgrade the user interface or sommit?
XD I don't like noob friendly Premium tank , I like challenges and this tank is my cup of tea :P ... And I know how to play with this tank ... Im grinding all stages :D
Do you mean something like track traverse which is valid for hp/ton of the stock tank or hp/ton which is completely irrelevant stat without terrain resistance? At least he finally that upgradable engine messes with stats.
Does the PC Caenarvon have the 32pdr? The console version does, and prefer that gun to the 20pdr - this looks lot like the old console Caenarvon, just with some art and spaced armour.
Im again aiming for 60-80% off like last time with the progetto, I feel like it's worth that much just for all the other stuff alone and getting that much takes me about 2h a day and not even all the days of the marathon so I feel like the money and time I will spend are worth it and balanced pretty well imo.
Instressting you say there is no competion on this tier8 premium when its about the DPM, but how about the Patriot? That tank would be a better compared tank tbh
I have it now (completed marathon); and after 30 games or i would say it's very unforgiving and the skill cap in it is high. It all comes down to the 50.8 side hull armour as I was worried. The cupola is also an old very horrible version compared to any of the centurion / Caernarvon in game (not front-side contoured or front beveled). I've had shots ricochet off the tank forehead into cupola for damage. Playing it successfully will make you a better player.
I play WOT console and bought the patriot because I was looking for a new money making tank. I didn't like it because of the low damage it does for a tier a premium heavy tank so I got tired of it really quick, the mutant 6 came out on discount so I saw its big gun and bought it. I like the tank but if you turn its turret even a little your basically dead. I wouldn't mind trying the Caernarvon AX tho.
I'm farming this tank with the regular Caernarvon, I won't spend real $ for it but I'm doing it cause its free and it doesn't take me as much time to get it.
"You have to be crazy to play the TOG that much" Yep, and I'm probably even crazier because I don't even train other crews in the TOG, I just play the TOG with a special TOG-crew because the TOG is stronkest tenk in gaem.
It look like a fun one to play. i hope the MM is kind to this one, a tier 10 like type 5 heavy and the others big durps tanks see this as a tasty snack. :)
I just bought it for 9,000,000 credits. Amazing tank! I am a new player, and I was told that it takes a skilled player to use it well. If that is true, then I am an excellent new player, because I dominate in it!
Action x ive had AWHILE. The AX. Why not have the gun options pop up for all. Like GUNNED tanks see I have fireflies. But having them even a lend lease. Trophy tank. Firefly. Why aren't these like. Gatekeepers. To more advanced guns semi autos etc
I just got today nuked from this tank when i was driving löwe in Frontline, it was pretty openfield i tried to cross and because its rates of fire he killed me very easy. In this moment it was for me like a britsh autoloader vision that never stopped
Seems like they should have left the 20 pdr Gun in addition to the 32 pdr on the original Caernarvon as optional equiptment and released this as a regualar Tech Tree Premium that would have filled that tier 8 premium tank slot for british heavys and created player choice for everyone playing the regular caernarvon The worse armor of the action x and the different turret would have made it worse and different enough from the regualr tank to be a solid prem tank
they would not even need to buff the DPM of the 20 pdr to the level of the action x now as they could let the original 20 pdr be a 10k Stop Gap cannon for everyone that thinks 171 pen with the 17 pdr is not enough to grind the 30 k to get the Turret and Cannon
Seygem Judging by his name, I'm guessing he's not a native English speaking person. That, and I've seen him in other videos' comment sections and I know for a fact that English is not his first language. Keep in mind this is the Internet. We're sharing a medium enjoyed by people all over the world. Grammar and spelling is not always going to be perfect.
Exactly, keep in mind this is the internet. People that present themselfes around here (especially when they are trying to make a joke (which I assume his intention was)) are running the risk -on- of (edit) getting targeted by jokes themselves. Suck it up and live with it, neither does it hurt you physically (and if it hurts you mentally - again this is the internet, suck it up), nor will people stop doing it anyways.
Seygem Themselves*? I'm not offended, but expecting someone else to have good grammar when English is not their first language is a bit ridiculous, and targeting that as the center of your joke is low hanging fruit. Also, if you make an edit, you don't need to strikethrough something, correct it, then in parentheses put "edit."
This is how Prem tanks used to be, where they are OK but not overpowered like the latest batch.
also notice that this happens to be a prem BRITISH and not prem SOVIET. Coincidence? I think not!

As Wilshire said, it's British. Wait until the next Russian, US, or Chinese premium before getting excited.

But in the current years they should not be weaker. Back in the time they were weaker but, they had preferential Match Making. So these days they should be a bit more balanced, Especially since they can see tier X battles.
So it's basically a slightly worse Caernarvon? Good to see a balanced premium tank added to the game.
I think it's better than the regular caernarvon because the turret armor feels better.

Just got this tank after grinding out 225k xp and it feels powerful, i didn't have a great first game, but the gun handling and the armor are both good enough for anyone who at least has the iq of a rock.
You forgot the Excelsior :D My first and only British prem tank. I got this tank in a marathon but still didn't play a game in it. Finally there is a marathon with a decent British prem; already completed 4 stages *yay*
I didn't enjoy the old Caernarvon when I had to go through it to get FV 215b before it was replaced, so instead of playing 3-4 hours a day I will stay with my FV4202.
lol, well said.
For a while I used HE when I couldn't pen, and people at tier 10 tend to carry more HE which is annoying when you're hull down or angling very well...
Question: If you DO have the old FV 215b that is now a T10 "premium-ish" tank, would it be best to just stick with that for crew training?
Only if you have a prem account. It's a great vehicle but I cannot play it very often since it rips my treasury department to shreds.
The 230 alpha is doable its just those low rolls....sometimes feels like you are using the 16 pnder with the low dmg rolls. Since it doesn't really play like a heavy tank, its alpha is inline with most mediums. So it doesn't bother me so much when it comes down to it. Its a ridge line support sniper is how you have to use at it. Another nice thing that can happen often is no one will pay attention to you in a multi tank kind of brawn because of your lower alpha and play back a bit from the brawlers. That allows you to peck away or track vehicles a lot. I loved the standard Caernarvon just after the turret buff and no 32 pnder at that time.... so I am sure this is going to be great to have.
I may just be addicted and have no life, but I didn't think the P46 marathon was that bad, and this supposedly made an easier so I don't think the marathon is bad at all. I could probably finish it 2 1/2 times if I wanted to.
Same
Didn't have time for the Progetto marathon due to work but now it just happens so I have 3 weeks of free time, hell yea :D
Captain Roy you have too much free time
QB, you forgot on Excelsior! What do you thing about Excelsior? THX for answer!
QB, can you please mention that if it doesnt work for coated optics to use binos. Thats how i have my baby: my m4 sherman
Simple question. If you already have a fully loaded Caenarvon (32 pounder) would it be worth investing in the AX? - which of the 2 would you select if you had both?
The regular Caernarvon with the 32 pounder is better, but of course it doesn't make as much money. But as a tank, the regular is better.
I admire you, you are explaining that the tank is utter crap but the wording and the cadence is so good that when you compare the stats they sound as it will be enjoyable, good to use, competitive. WG PR department should pay you for this marketing.
Is this the vid qb was talking about in the stream happening now?
It was the 20-pdr with 230 alpha that got me my only 2nd MoE in a tank. Maybe thats because no one play Caernarvon last time :P
I would have enjoyed a comparison with the Premium American Heavy Tank T34 as well since it's just the American premium tank version of the AX, right?
Havent played WoT since 9 months or something like that. And seeing this map tells me.. "nothing has changed"
QB shows why it is so important for the team to defend that end of the ridge. If the enemy makes it up on that corner like QB did and controls it all they have to do is just sit there and spot for arty and its like shooting fish in a barrel. So many players don't realize this when playing that side of the map. This map is badly flawed IMO. One side is much easier to win from than the other. WG needs to address this problem with the map. They need to balance it out better.
Amazing how it's balanced here but completely broken in Blitz
yes lol it has 90mm sides wtf
Finally a T8 Heavy Premium which is balanced :)
4:34 , the regular Caravan has 76.2 not 51.3 on the sides, so def better :P
In WoT Blitz it has even less alpha: 190
But it also has 1.31 sec less reload time with rammer.
As this is the first tier 8 premium heavy for the British, I think that it fits in the line fairly well. Is the tank on it's own worth the money and/or time for the grind? No, certainly not, but when you factor in that you also get 30 2 hour boosters for 50% extra credits, a crew and a lot of other goodies, I think that the price is at least a little fair. I set the goal for myself to grind the missions to at least level 5, and I am at the moment working on level 4, so I got that going for me. I think that with a 50% discount, paying 30 euros is doable, since you get everything and not just the tank.
Good quick review, looks like a decent 'skill' tank
I wish you would give your recommended Commander skills/perks and equipment to install.
My only heavy Brit is the TOG !!!!!!!
I think it's going to be a huge upgrade :)
11 days to go...
I thought it was a tier 8 super conqueror, and turns out it is not better than the regular Caenarvon, which is a good thing, stop the power creep.
That's cause they're giving it "for free". Power creep versions are for MONEY ONLY (or no fun for you)
nice video with comments, like your honesty!
Well how long does the challenge go now? 1day left? That's quite a late moment to decide if this vecicle is worth grinding
12 days left, so...
Quick question: why is the appearance of the game totally different with you? The menus, buttons, everything. Is there an update thats gonna upgrade the user interface or sommit?
I mean if you get to stage 7+ it should be just worth buying for the credits and if you dont like the tank you can still sell it
There's also the Excelsior as a crew trainer
XD I don't like noob friendly Premium tank , I like challenges and this tank is my cup of tea :P ... And I know how to play with this tank ... Im grinding all stages :D
yep same
I'll go for at least 70 percent discount. I'm definitely skipping the last grindy stages though.
I do love tea.
Hope you have a good grind then
@@NightWatch707 ok bro :)
just picked it up for 9 million credits :).....
Same,and so far i really like it
More reasons why not to play the tiger 2....
And Qb why are you using base values on tanks gg instead of effective values when comparing the tanks?
Do you mean something like track traverse which is valid for hp/ton of the stock tank or hp/ton which is completely irrelevant stat without terrain resistance? At least he finally that upgradable engine messes with stats.
I guess because ppl use different set ups and in case you use the same equipment for different tanks, the stats will have the same ratio to another.
Where do I vote for the tech tree showcase?
Hi,
is it possible that you used other Stats? The DPM of the Tank is higher as you showed.
Does the PC Caenarvon have the 32pdr? The console version does, and prefer that gun to the 20pdr - this looks lot like the old console Caenarvon, just with some art and spaced armour.
The regular Caernarvon has the 32 pdr gun, which was added...maybe a year ago?
@@villelepoaho4105 cheers matey. I play on console, so wasn't sure.
Im again aiming for 60-80% off like last time with the progetto, I feel like it's worth that much just for all the other stuff alone and getting that much takes me about 2h a day and not even all the days of the marathon so I feel like the money and time I will spend are worth it and balanced pretty well imo.
Instressting you say there is no competion on this tier8 premium when its about the DPM, but how about the Patriot? That tank would be a better compared tank tbh
I have it now (completed marathon); and after 30 games or i would say it's very unforgiving and the skill cap in it is high. It all comes down to the 50.8 side hull armour as I was worried. The cupola is also an old very horrible version compared to any of the centurion / Caernarvon in game (not front-side contoured or front beveled). I've had shots ricochet off the tank forehead into cupola for damage. Playing it successfully will make you a better player.
As proud Scot, there's no way I'm putting that camo on a tank.
I play WOT console and bought the patriot because I was looking for a new money making tank. I didn't like it because of the low damage it does for a tier a premium heavy tank so I got
tired of it really quick, the mutant 6 came out on discount so I saw its big gun and bought it. I like the tank but if you turn its turret even a little your basically dead. I wouldn't mind trying the Caernarvon AX tho.
I love my TOG II!!! It has style.
you should've bought a lottery ticket after that match with all the lucky bounces.
I'm farming this tank with the regular Caernarvon, I won't spend real $ for it but I'm doing it cause its free and it doesn't take me as much time to get it.
Thanks for let me know it would be a trip to the garage in 5 s for me.
oh, what is this? A "new" premium tank?! Wow! Never seen that before! :D
"You have to be crazy to play the TOG that much"
Yep, and I'm probably even crazier because I don't even train other crews in the TOG, I just play the TOG with a special TOG-crew because the TOG is stronkest tenk in gaem.
How dare you saying someone wouldn't like to play the Tog to train their crew? It's the Tog :D Everybody love the Tog :D
: )
@13:46, Lol fv 215b at tier 7 would be so fun.
Quicky, thanks for this.
Maybe you can do a video about the BT-7 its my favorite Tank by far
Hold up, is this the only prem tank you can remove the skin from or did they do it for others
They did it for the polish 50TP tier 8 premium too
It look like a fun one to play.
i hope the MM is kind to this one, a tier 10 like type 5 heavy and the others big durps tanks see this as a tasty snack. :)
4TankersandDog tested the spaced armor vs. HE and HEAT. Works great vs. HEAT, seems to do virtually nothing vs. HE
On blitz it is slower and more armored than tech tree. And has 90mm side armor.
I just bought it for 9,000,000 credits. Amazing tank! I am a new player, and I was told that it takes a skilled player to use it well. If that is true, then I am an excellent new player, because I dominate in it!
Whos came here after black market offer?
Me sadly, since I unfortunately missed it since that offer was on when I was at work
Action x ive had AWHILE. The AX. Why not have the gun options pop up for all. Like GUNNED tanks see I have fireflies. But having them even a lend lease. Trophy tank. Firefly. Why aren't these like. Gatekeepers. To more advanced guns semi autos etc
I love that camo 💜😍
I just got today nuked from this tank when i was driving löwe in Frontline, it was pretty openfield i tried to cross and because its rates of fire he killed me very easy. In this moment it was for me like a britsh autoloader vision that never stopped
That wasn't a rock, that was a mountain!
Seems like they should have left the 20 pdr Gun in addition to the 32 pdr on the original Caernarvon as optional equiptment and released this as a regualar Tech Tree Premium
that would have filled that tier 8 premium tank slot for british heavys and created player choice for everyone playing the regular caernarvon
The worse armor of the action x and the different turret would have made it worse and different enough from the regualr tank to be a solid prem tank
they would not even need to buff the DPM of the 20 pdr to the level of the action x now as they could let the original 20 pdr be a 10k Stop Gap cannon for everyone that thinks 171 pen with the 17 pdr is not enough to grind the 30 k to get the Turret and Cannon
So this is just a regular Caernarvon with a much lower alpha damage and DPM?
9:26 the AMX 50 100 has a premium version? 🤔
The somua SM.. its the same vehicle but with a slightly improvement in armour
My first game in this tank was 3500 dmg 350 blocked and 1500 spotting. First game - no sixth sense or any other skills besides bia.
My Opinion Is Normal Carnivore is Enough 😁 Instead of C Action X I Bought Progretto Because does not exist in tier 8....
Dont ever speak of my Tog like that again QB
So OP this tank much better than. Normal one
Hi i am the ghost that i visit you before updating the video
I think there is a ghost haunting your grammar...
Seygem that’s even more sp00pier than him
Seygem
Judging by his name, I'm guessing he's not a native English speaking person. That, and I've seen him in other videos' comment sections and I know for a fact that English is not his first language. Keep in mind this is the Internet. We're sharing a medium enjoyed by people all over the world. Grammar and spelling is not always going to be perfect.
Exactly, keep in mind this is the internet. People that present themselfes around here (especially when they are trying to make a joke (which I assume his intention was)) are running the risk -on- of (edit) getting targeted by jokes themselves. Suck it up and live with it, neither does it hurt you physically (and if it hurts you mentally - again this is the internet, suck it up), nor will people stop doing it anyways.
Seygem
Themselves*?
I'm not offended, but expecting someone else to have good grammar when English is not their first language is a bit ridiculous, and targeting that as the center of your joke is low hanging fruit. Also, if you make an edit, you don't need to strikethrough something, correct it, then in parentheses put "edit."
