I miss the old black market auctions, those were generally for credits and it allowed even F2P's to get their hands on premium tanks The first good premium i got was the turtle during the BM Now, all WG ever do anymore is try to bleed the whales and collectors of their gold, no longer caring to toss a bone to the F2Ps as well
But this is not the black market. Every year after the Christmass gold buyout they have autions to get their gold back. When the black market comes, it will still have the credits and free XP offers.
I think they should have redone the order, sell the less expensive/non gold tanks first. Hitting a 24k tank on the first drop had people start to really question what was coming after and had people question how much they wanted to bid.
ISU-122-2 was the gem of the auction. Derping for 800 and ramming for 500+ never gets old. I'm sure they will sell it multiple times in the future, but still nice addition.
This was my first year buying xmas boxes and I ended up having 169k gold... 35M credits.. So I indulged in the auction.. Not sure I want to waste money on another tech tree tank with a different skin... but watching Karl Heinz play so well... it would inspire "anyone" to try this vehicle. Thanks..
on console there was actual merit to get it cause it has 560 alpha instead of 490 with a 9 second reload making it one of the better heavies in the game and best in the game for a while until power creep caught up to it. was my fav tank to play for a bit hitting the rare 700 high rolls before they nerfed the RNG of damage rolls.
Thanks, QB for noticing my comments about the SEA server costs 👍😀 This is the 4th tank in a row again going for free experience. This one will be popular on the SEA server due to the style. The minimum bid is 250,000 free XP with a competitive bid of 280,500 and 3 hours remaining. 2000 units available with almost 2500 bidding for it. I thought the auction was disappointing however as you mentioned on the SEA server, there were some bargains to be had with the free XP.
My main argument as to why the ISU-122-2 is not "the highest alpha damage premium tank at tier 8" is because it is not that easy to hit a double. You have to continuously aim at the enemy tank's future position for 2 seconds, or kinda do it at the last moment but then it's hard to tell exactly when that is. It would be much easier for example if you could load the shells for 2 seconds and then have a 1 second window to press the left-click and unleash the double (and then after the 1 second the shell are disconnected again or something). It has the potential of 780 alpha dmg and higher pen than the BZ-176, but arguably it's much easier to actually deal that 800 dmg in the BZ-176 because 1) It's not a double 2) insane armor, a turret and 10 degrees of gun depression.
Thank you for your input over these last few days. it has allowed me to save inhouse currency and still allowed me to get a few new tanks to enjoy through the rest of the year.
I don't get it. What are non-tech tree tier 10s good for? Losing money? I mean... 279e, 907 and Chieftain are great, but besides that... Honest question.
All tier 10s lose money most of the time, that’s not what you play tier 10 for. It’s just whatever tanks you like to play the most, and the average player doesn’t have access to tanks like the 9e and chief.
@@azi2g @chrisconrad5491 good for you that you can have fun playing them! I, for one, cannot have fun while losing money. Still need more than 100 million to buy all the tier 10s I have researched and not bought! 😅 That's why I only play tier 8 and 9 premium vehicles.
I think people "Might" be a little tired of the money grabs BUT throw the BZ-176 up in packages starting at $100.00 and I'll bet you see just how much more Money is still out there LOL and how Crazy the Players are :) Thanks Video
I have the BZ-176, and I can't make that tank work for the life of me. The low pen is where it gets me. On the other hand, anything time I'm in a match facing them they pen me and take me out. lol 🤯😠👊. 😂😂😂😂
@@Hardtruth11 Been There done that :) But it wont stop the 1,000's of tankers from buying it LOL Because they THINK it the End All Be All of the Premium Tanks, To really have to play it some to realize Its Good BUT not everything you thought it would be IE God Mode haha
Got the ISU-122-2 unfortunately a bit too expensive, but I really wanted to have it and absolutely don't regret it! (+ my first ever auction i am part of) I bloody love it! It is so flexible with that way-too-good-gun-handling-for-7880-damage, 2 seconds preparation is really short and 1 second lockout. It feels super flexible, yet not OP due to 2 seconds preparation, not much armor and rather large vehicle. Nicely balanced, very fun and free2play friendly because you generally don't need HEAT.
Got the TL-7 for 11k on EU. I knew the play style would be right up my alley since I love the Char Futur 4 and GSOR 1008, so 11k for a T9 premium that earns extra credits and bonds is a win for me.
I got the ISU-122-2 for 5.4k gold worth of free XP in ASIA (during a 1 gold = 35 free xp sale before the auction). Considering I also got the 703 from an advent calendar sale for 10k gold 2 years ago, the ISU-122-2 was a steal.
Here’s an interesting and irritating fact. I paid 22m for the T22 and absolutely hate it. I should have known because Russian mediums definitely aren’t my strong suit. So I decided to sell it. They only let you sell it for 1000 silver price the sell price of any equipment. THAT is messed up.
I got the ISU-122-2 on NA with a bid of 10K. Managed to get my Ace in the first game, but did way more damage in my 3rd game and only got a 2nd class. The values for this tank were rapidly increasing. It was a fun few games to play, I'll be picking this tank more often.
All of the auctions on the Asian server is for free XP which is ok for those who just keep accumulating as they’ve researched just about everything. This WZ-111 QL has minimum starting bid of 250,000 which if your converting with gold is 10,000. Don’t know if that’s good value for what is a tech tree tank after all
bought the tl-7 with free experience for 181k - min bid was 177500 - but i got concerned in the last 3 minutes so i bumped it too 181k and got mine. Only 3000 available on asia1 wot server. wz-111 QL - only 2000 available min bid is 250k free experience - which i'll buy as i have 383k free exp still left over
I wonder how many people actually spent any gold at all? I have none of those tanks. Im not sure if it was QB or Skil that said that its better to save your gold for season passes. At least you can get useful things. Bonds and bond equipment. I have been doing that and it has been a rather nice tip (thank you). So I have not spent any gold on this auction. Imo WG is going to have to try harder to get me to spend gold.
The only tank I took a shot at was the ISU-122-2 for 9,100 gold, and was surprised to wake up to have it in my garage. Looks fun to play and I can't wait to give it a go! Everything else seemed meh 😅
@@robertbrunner4728 that's unfortunate :( hate to give WG too much credit, but those holiday loot boxes kinda paid off for me (at least in the gold payouts). I was hoping to get the tiger-maus or the IS-752, but got the some other tanks and that sweet ERB skin.
I think that people naturally gravitate to shiny things and that is why the WZ went for over double the minimum. Had WG done some flashy looks on the other vehicles, I would bet they would have gone for much more.
I'm a tank collector and I'm not bidding on this bad tank, I got the the ISU122-2 for 10k gold and the TL7 for 11k this was all paid for by the 80 loot boxes from Christmas which i was able to get 45K gold and all 5 tanks. I still have gold left for the rest of the year.
I only picked up the TL-7 from this auction. Wasn't going to until I saw min bid was 10,000 and decided why not, if I get it sweet. I got it and am happy with it. Feels like a tiered up gsor 1010, which I also enjoy just being able to dump out those magazines. The rest were kind of meh and I'd rather save my gold from the Christmas event, considering I picked up the gsor 1010 and the sptk-tvp while they were on sale in the shop for gold as well.
I got the ISU-122-2, just because I thought it was cool, and I kind a like the gimmick of double firing followed by a single shot. Also, I REALLY wish I had more credits for the T-22, but I just couldn't nab it. As for the other tanks... not even worth my time. All in all, kind of glad that I held onto most of my resources. Guess I'll just save up for the Assembly Shop later in the year.
Appreciate your extra long run of videos, even researching the ones with other players for you to showcase must take a lot of your supposed sleeping hours....Thank you Mate ! 💥🇦🇺
Problem is that i dont care about many premiums and tier 10s anymore. The only ones i still care about getting are the cw rewards and since i dont have a clan that plays cw campaigns i wont be getting those (because time). I'm not just suffering marathon (and bad onslaught) fatigue, i simply have most of the things they can offer me. I dont need yet another soviet td. I have the su130pm, that's all i need. The only things i want are the chief and carro. I'm a fan of challenging tanks. And yes i would splash 1m fxp, 20k+ gold or 50k bonds at them.
I'm glad it has so much gold for the auction. If you bought min boxes to get all tanks in the Winter event, you'll have about 120-160k gold. They're now allowing you to use that gold.
Question.. I came back to WOT after not playing for a while (had to setup a new account, forgot login).. what is the current meta? (For each of the vehicles classes)
I'm a guy with premium tanks but not much. Only pay sometimes, but I'm still sort of poor when it comes to such auctions with my (currently) 1,050 gold. I had the opportunity to bid for T-22 med. And didn't really care what would be next, because I wanted to spend credits for a tank. Ah yes, I lost the bid with only 4-5million difference. Sadge 😂
I got the T22 but only because I've always wanted it. I might get the Qilin just to have it. Kinda disappointed they didn't auction the Death Star or EBR 75 or at least something along those lines.
Your best hope is that they never sell the EBR 75, BZ-176, Bourrasque or -ELC Even 90 again.- EBR caused WG to modify how MM works to keep in the game.
@@xxFusionxx2755800g, no wonder I see them in every. single. game. Maybe they thought "Oh we sold too many already, might as well let everyone haft one." I get tired of proxy spotting blades of grass.
So at wz-111 ql I decided it's not worth 15,000 gold to me and also not worth the 17,100 gold that is needed for the competitive bid. just to get it with the skin. I'd rather see what kind of event might come at the beginning of february.
The new ISU’s biggest problem is that it’s absolutely butt-ugly. Also 4 gold auctions were an absolute nope for me. Picked up the T22 for a min bid on NA
this auction is a big win for me, I finally got my T-22-sr thanks to your video informing me middle of the night all of a sudden I did not expect this at all, was waiting for the trading caravan this year if they have it , one day before the first auction the T-22 sr , I thought I would never able to own this tank in world of tanks, I already built one in 1/16 RC Tank , so QB thank you, and I just don't care that this tank now sucks or bad blah blah blah you whiners always complaint, tank too good you complaint, tank too bad you complaint, no one asked you to play the tank like an idiot, every tank has it's pros and con, for this tank I just love it so much, it is exotic and rare, but now not so rare anymore
@@Grug 15.1k gold starting... too much, IMO, for a skin. Since I've accumulated over 400k gold I'll put in for it but not too hard. If it gets stupid (over 25k/$100US) I'll bow out. And only 2k units for 20k overall pop.
i regretted not getting the t22, but i think there will be another opportunity someday. i got the others, the bz, isu and the tl, because i just wanted all 3. now i'm just waiting to see what the minimum bid would be and if i really want it. just getting the 2 td's is very cool. the bz was rather easy because i also wanted another tank.
TBH, I regretted getting the T-22 when it was first auctioned a few years ago. There are just too many tank lines with heat rounds coming into the game which nullify it's only advantage.
@@Vormehk I've been a player for a long time, back when the event with the tank was where it was to be won, I didn't manage it because the requirements were very high. And the first time it was in an auction I couldn't buy it because I wasn't at home at the time. Also, with some tanks, I'm just interested in collecting them. I'm just thinking about the ql. because nobody knows what might come at the beginning of february. and I don't really know whether to get the ql just because of its looks. so I'll just wait and see. and where the t22 was now up for auction, my bid was just a little too low so I didn't get it.
I don't think I've wanted to bid on anything so far. The T-22 was kinda tempting but then with the amount of gold I've just been throwing at them in my games they are barely an issue.
WG made peaople think new tanks are always OP or at least A tier like Lion, BZ - 176, so when they gave mediocre tanks people went meh. But i think it's cool that they gave something new and not OP. Nobody makes you to buy them and it won't change the balance.
QB you forgot that the SU-122-2 has a major drawback which forces players to use the double shots almost every time It's a tank for only tank collectors
Its my first participation in an auction and i thought the two tanks i got the ISU122-2 and TL7 were good value at minimum price on The EU server 9k gold and 10k respectively were good value for what looks like two fun tanks. would have preferred the Qilin for credits as 4 tanks for gold and only one for credits is not great but as you say WG trying to grab back the gold from the Xmas lootboxes. Thanks QB for doing these late night/early morning vids for us its much appreciated 😊😊
QB: I'll let you in on a secret = you can HE spam hull down heavies with the 60TP :D WG: nerfs HE to shit so hull down remains OP . QB: I miss the old HE :'(
So far I got the TL and ISU-122-2 at minimum price. Well not exactly minimum as WG has the base price but when you bid its 100 gold more. So it was the base plus the 100. Still thats a good deal. There isn't much interest in them I guess in NA.
I bid 9100 gold for the ISU 122-2. It are 100 more then the starting bid and won. Didn't bother with the TL but your right. Not much interest in them it seems.
I did want that BZ ,but I am sure it will be in the shop coming up ,this WZ just looks flunky which some guys will like ,I am more old school regular war camos on my tanks ,I wont be bidding on the WZ
Hey qb have you seen the buffs for 1.24 on ru server, and do you think they might come to eu? For example m48 patton (health 2000 -> 2200, top speed 45 -> 50 ,engine power,cammo buff and hull and turn dispersion by 20%). Also m4a1 rev ( pen 200 -> 236 ,gold pen 250 -> 270 , viewrange 390 -> 400)
WG knows that BZ-176 is completely toxic to the game. However much WG would make from selling them, they'd probably still end up being an economic loss because of the secondary effectg of introducing new BZ's to the matchmaker. WG is greedy, to be sure. But remember that greediness with an accountant on hand can look different than greediness without.
Dang tht sucks they just made it a direct copy on PC. On the console the Qilin is a little different it has 560 alpha damage instead with some slight tweaks here n there.
"boo-hoo this low tier IS-3 is spamming HE to my almighty T95/FV4201!!!!!! I'm not invincible hulldown if I'm getting hit for 7 HP each time!!!! WG please nerf HE!!!!1!!!1!!" I guess it was something like this from the biggest clan wars players (Aka no-life)
@751.L exactly. I still don't get it why this was a Problem. At least you could do something. Nowadays you simply wait to get farmed by such Hull down monsters
@@751.L if you talking facts I want to remind you that numbers were different. For example 60TP would do around 300damage with HE on my S.Conq. Not a unicum but I see the point why it was changed.
@@test_nametest_surname1794 you are right, but that 60TP reload time would still be the same as 750dmg AP, only to do a fraction of the damage with HE. Armor in world of tanks was and is still very strong in the meta (even when considering gold ammo), and I believe that the HE nerf was an unnecessary buff to the already best tanks. There is no fun fighting hulldown monsters when you have no answer, and HE was not even that good for most tanks. But at least it was something.
Damn he was lucky. when shooting ebr I usually get armor not pene or just a wheel.. normally tank would be gone if hit.. still I dont think he would make same result nowdays.. too many of these RNG & 15-1 games where u die in a single shot oddly.
I think WG made mistake selling this for gold. It's just not worth it for anyone except few collectors. I think greed will not pay off in this case. If it was for free XP they might win more along the way by depleting some of the economy and setting up for next promotion/assembly shop. They did drain my free XP last year for example. This year it's cheaper because of bad deals. I'm fine with _only_ TL-7.
No tech-tree tank in my view is worth that much gold just because it got new cool skin. lol. this and Mars does look good, but at least MArs is not tech-tree tank. I got ISU-122-2(first time in auction and first one bought from there) kinded by suprise, its was 8100(or was it 9100, the base price anyway), I though I wont get it anyway,but why not as it seem intresting tank. To my suprise in the next morning it was in garage XD
I don't think the auction was that successful on the NA server. I don't think any of the tanks went for more than the minimum bid price, and I don't even think all the units sold. I bought the TL-7 for the minimum bid, and I never saw the competitive bid price, nor the number of players in the auction because I don't think all 5000 units were even bid on.
From what I’ve gathered, I c and to the same conclusion. I don’t think all the units sold for any of the auctions this year. Had to be a huge flop on NA. The fact I could log in as soon as the auctions start, put down a min bid, and know I got the tank already shows that.
I spend more than enough money on this video game during the course of a year. I will not participate in buying anymore vehicles sold for gold. It's a terrible financial decision that I will not fall into.
Honestly don’t care about the auction I just wanna know how to reach silver in onslaught I can only do about eight battles a day and am still stuck in iron. Went up to bronze c but then I fell down with a losing streak back to iron c😢
I have literally not been inclined to bid in any of the auctions…
I did not bid on anything as well.
Doesn't seem worth it when you see what $20 can give you on the Steam store
Same. Nothing special or worth
this guy is more lucky than a cat to be honest. talking about the replay.
so did i
I miss the old black market auctions, those were generally for credits and it allowed even F2P's to get their hands on premium tanks
The first good premium i got was the turtle during the BM
Now, all WG ever do anymore is try to bleed the whales and collectors of their gold, no longer caring to toss a bone to the F2Ps as well
But this is not the black market. Every year after the Christmass gold buyout they have autions to get their gold back. When the black market comes, it will still have the credits and free XP offers.
This isn't the black market, and to be fair to Wargaming they did offer one tank in the auction for credits
@@dksparticles3187 from what i know and have seen, if they have the auction then they aren't going to have the BM too later down the year
What a dissapointing auction. 4 for gold and 1 for credits 🙄
as expected
I liked it ngl, didn't have much credits but I had a lot of gold to give. So far I'm 4 for 4 on auctions
It is sad. The black market was so much better
They know how much gold we has haha
For me that’s good cause I only got 3 million credits
I won the ISU-122-2 and the TL-7 for the minimum bids on the NA server. Those were the only two I was mildly interested in, so I’d call it a win.
Likewise
My wife and I did the exact same thing for the exact same reason lol.
i wish i had the gold for the TL-7 just because i knew it would go for minimum
u got the best in the auction
Yea, you are a champ. You supported WG on their worst auction. Next time the auction will be worse because of people like you. Def a win.
I think they should have redone the order, sell the less expensive/non gold tanks first. Hitting a 24k tank on the first drop had people start to really question what was coming after and had people question how much they wanted to bid.
The only non-gold tank WAS the first one. (Unless you play on some shitty minority server.)
@@DisgruntledDoomer The fuck did you say?

Same
I hope they bring good tier X in ferbruary for free XP/gold/silver ect like Object 780, Lion, Kpz
Yeah I paid out 16mil for it
It really is not a tank for people that this auction reached out of their "price range".
How much was the final competitive price at the end?
Also were all sold out?
You can change whatever gun you want to have the Qilin gun effect in the XMLs, it's silly on the T7 Car or any fast autoloader.
Enlighten me
This was my first year buying xmas boxes and I ended up having 169k gold... 35M credits.. So I indulged in the auction.. Not sure I want to waste money on another tech tree tank with a different skin... but watching Karl Heinz play so well... it would inspire "anyone" to try this vehicle. Thanks..
Regret not getting the t-22 medium. i was saving the credits for the other vehicles as i expected more than one credit auction
Same here, I would have picked one up if I knew what the rest of the line up was
Yeah I only retracted my bid for it because I didn’t know everything else was for gold. I have like 30 million credits. Bummer
Same
The auction was leaked way before and it was already know that 1 was for credits and rest gold
so you think all palyewrs look for leaks ? i dotn care im done
Miss the sensible HE ammo mechanics too :(

At least you can get useful things. Bonds and bond equipment. I have been doing that and it has been a rather nice tip (thank you). So I have not spent any gold on this auction. Imo WG is going to have to try harder to get me to spend gold.
The only tank I took a shot at was the ISU-122-2 for 9,100 gold, and was surprised to wake up to have it in my garage. Looks fun to play and I can't wait to give it a go!
Everything else seemed meh 😅
It's been fun so far! Racked up 2330 in my very first go and the sounds are extremely satisfying.
The tl-7 looks fun, but i much would rather have had the 122-2.... didnt get paid until today....
@@robertbrunner4728 that's unfortunate :( hate to give WG too much credit, but those holiday loot boxes kinda paid off for me (at least in the gold payouts). I was hoping to get the tiger-maus or the IS-752, but got the some other tanks and that sweet ERB skin.
I got it for 9k :)
@@Snowfox11 they paid off for me, but kinda spent the 100k gold i got on prem time, ensuring i have premium time for something like 4 years
Was this tank already available in the black market event? And for 20 million credits.
I really want to buy this tank but I can’t justify 15k + gold for basically just buying a style for a tech tree tank
I think that people naturally gravitate to shiny things and that is why the WZ went for over double the minimum. Had WG done some flashy looks on the other vehicles, I would bet they would have gone for much more.
21:58 ... the middle bid is around 23600 xD
I'm a tank collector and I'm not bidding on this bad tank, I got the the ISU122-2 for 10k gold and the TL7 for 11k this was all paid for by the 80 loot boxes from Christmas which i was able to get 45K gold and all 5 tanks. I still have gold left for the rest of the year.
I only picked up the TL-7 from this auction. Wasn't going to until I saw min bid was 10,000 and decided why not, if I get it sweet. I got it and am happy with it. Feels like a tiered up gsor 1010, which I also enjoy just being able to dump out those magazines. The rest were kind of meh and I'd rather save my gold from the Christmas event, considering I picked up the gsor 1010 and the sptk-tvp while they were on sale in the shop for gold as well.
I got the ISU-122-2, just because I thought it was cool, and I kind a like the gimmick of double firing followed by a single shot. Also, I REALLY wish I had more credits for the T-22, but I just couldn't nab it. As for the other tanks... not even worth my time. All in all, kind of glad that I held onto most of my resources. Guess I'll just save up for the Assembly Shop later in the year.
Lol the HESH rounds on the bz176 ARE the standard rounds, just play on NA for a few days
Appreciate your extra long run of videos, even researching the ones with other players for you to showcase must take a lot of your supposed sleeping hours....Thank you Mate ! 💥🇦🇺
Problem is that i dont care about many premiums and tier 10s anymore. The only ones i still care about getting are the cw rewards and since i dont have a clan that plays cw campaigns i wont be getting those (because time).
I'm not just suffering marathon (and bad onslaught) fatigue, i simply have most of the things they can offer me. I dont need yet another soviet td. I have the su130pm, that's all i need.
The only things i want are the chief and carro. I'm a fan of challenging tanks. And yes i would splash 1m fxp, 20k+ gold or 50k bonds at them.
I'm glad it has so much gold for the auction. If you bought min boxes to get all tanks in the Winter event, you'll have about 120-160k gold. They're now allowing you to use that gold.
No offence but you are a literal whale. That's why Wargaming keeps giving such trash offers, because people like you will still buy it.
120-160k? wth? Only if you were born under the lucky star. Most of us, yes buying 250 boxes ended up with 65-80k gold including me.
@@Jinny-Wa i made about 120k from 250 boxes
@@Jinny-Wa I cleared around 160k on the boxes
Hey, QB, would you consider making a basic informative video about your opinions on premium tanks available for purchase in the trade-in program? 😇
Question.. I came back to WOT after not playing for a while (had to setup a new account, forgot login).. what is the current meta? (For each of the vehicles classes)
This year's tank auction was a big Fail.
Asian server has WZ-111 Qilin for minimum bid of 250000 exp which equates to 10000 gold. 2000 tanks will be available.
Hello, I don't know whether to buy the kanjpz or the strv s1, which one do you recommend?
S1
I think it was a great auction. I got 3 vehicles in very good prices. Cant wait for the assembly shop :)(
I'm a guy with premium tanks but not much. Only pay sometimes, but I'm still sort of poor when it comes to such auctions with my (currently) 1,050 gold.
I had the opportunity to bid for T-22 med. And didn't really care what would be next, because I wanted to spend credits for a tank. Ah yes, I lost the bid with only 4-5million difference. Sadge 😂
I got the T22 but only because I've always wanted it. I might get the Qilin just to have it. Kinda disappointed they didn't auction the Death Star or EBR 75 or at least something along those lines.
Your best hope is that they never sell the EBR 75, BZ-176, Bourrasque or -ELC Even 90 again.- EBR caused WG to modify how MM works to keep in the game.
Don't bother mate. I had it previously. Sold it in no time..garbage.
ELC Even 90 is for sale 24/7 in the French tech tree at the bottom for only like 6k gold give or take a few hundred@@Vormehk
@@xxFusionxx2755800g, no wonder I see them in every. single. game. Maybe they thought "Oh we sold too many already, might as well let everyone haft one." I get tired of proxy spotting blades of grass.
can't believe someones going to pay over $85 for a tech tree tank and a Style.. What a joke.. great video
So at wz-111 ql I decided it's not worth 15,000 gold to me and also not worth the 17,100 gold that is needed for the competitive bid. just to get it with the skin. I'd rather see what kind of event might come at the beginning of february.
The QL went for something like 24k gold as a mid-bid on NA
The new ISU’s biggest problem is that it’s absolutely butt-ugly. Also 4 gold auctions were an absolute nope for me. Picked up the T22 for a min bid on NA
this auction is a big win for me, I finally got my T-22-sr thanks to your video informing me middle of the night all of a sudden I did not expect this at all, was waiting for the trading caravan this year if they have it , one day before the first auction the T-22 sr , I thought I would never able to own this tank in world of tanks, I already built one in 1/16 RC Tank , so QB thank you, and I just don't care that this tank now sucks or bad blah blah blah you whiners always complaint, tank too good you complaint, tank too bad you complaint, no one asked you to play the tank like an idiot, every tank has it's pros and con, for this tank I just love it so much, it is exotic and rare, but now not so rare anymore
I want this since I got the WZ-111 5A and love the heck out of it. I also got the BZ and it's fun to play but I still love the wz.
This.
Last time this was on black market is went for 20 mil credits, it’s a shame it’ll prob go for like 30K+ gold this time around
@@Grug 15.1k gold starting... too much, IMO, for a skin.
Since I've accumulated over 400k gold I'll put in for it but not too hard. If it gets stupid (over 25k/$100US) I'll bow out. And only 2k units for 20k overall pop.
i regretted not getting the t22, but i think there will be another opportunity someday. i got the others, the bz, isu and the tl, because i just wanted all 3. now i'm just waiting to see what the minimum bid would be and if i really want it. just getting the 2 td's is very cool. the bz was rather easy because i also wanted another tank.
TBH, I regretted getting the T-22 when it was first auctioned a few years ago. There are just too many tank lines with heat rounds coming into the game which nullify it's only advantage.
@@Vormehk I've been a player for a long time, back when the event with the tank was where it was to be won, I didn't manage it because the requirements were very high. And the first time it was in an auction I couldn't buy it because I wasn't at home at the time. Also, with some tanks, I'm just interested in collecting them. I'm just thinking about the ql. because nobody knows what might come at the beginning of february. and I don't really know whether to get the ql just because of its looks. so I'll just wait and see. and where the t22 was now up for auction, my bid was just a little too low so I didn't get it.
1115а will be buffed febriary, sp will this tank to?
Console version of this tank has 560 alpha. It's same as 5a in every other way
January 2024 Auction has been pure dogshit. Assembly Shop worries me tbh with this tanks they gave us.
Nope it's basically skin you buying.
WZ 111 5A same from tech tree
I Do regret not going for the new BZ, But it was rather expensive.
I don't think I've wanted to bid on anything so far. The T-22 was kinda tempting but then with the amount of gold I've just been throwing at them in my games they are barely an issue.
as a collector what i want is older tanks that have not been on sale for years.
Gold auctions are lame. You have always been able to use gold for premium tanks.
Little question to Quicky, could you possibly cover the topic of Wot going into maintenance mode in 2025?
WG made peaople think new tanks are always OP or at least A tier like Lion, BZ - 176, so when they gave mediocre tanks people went meh. But i think it's cool that they gave something new and not OP. Nobody makes you to buy them and it won't change the balance.
These auctions are the way that War Gaming gets back all that gold back, that they gave us during Holiday Ops
QB you forgot that the SU-122-2 has a major drawback which forces players to use the double shots almost every time
It's a tank for only tank collectors
Its my first participation in an auction and i thought the two tanks i got the ISU122-2 and TL7 were good value at minimum price on The EU server 9k gold and 10k respectively were good value for what looks like two fun tanks. would have preferred the Qilin for credits as 4 tanks for gold and only one for credits is not great but as you say WG trying to grab back the gold from the Xmas lootboxes. Thanks QB for doing these late night/early morning vids for us its much appreciated 😊😊
He shoot the tracks of Grille 15 to track him in case he "wakes up"!
Wish they’d sell the jagdtiger prototype and the WZ-111 with the 122
The Auction was a fail, only one auction for credit out of five is just pure greed from wargaming
Year of the Dragon starts Feb 10th!
Who tf cares?
I'd say couple of billion people xD@@TheStormtrooper00
@@Jinny-Wa This is EU server, not Asia or China.
QB: I'll let you in on a secret = you can HE spam hull down heavies with the 60TP :D WG: nerfs HE to shit so hull down remains OP . QB: I miss the old HE :'(
So far I got the TL and ISU-122-2 at minimum price. Well not exactly minimum as WG has the base price but when you bid its 100 gold more. So it was the base plus the 100. Still thats a good deal. There isn't much interest in them I guess in NA.
I bid 9100 gold for the ISU 122-2. It are 100 more then the starting bid and won. Didn't bother with the TL but your right. Not much interest in them it seems.
it is possible to manually change bid to the exact minimum bid which is what I did for the two tds :/
@@gamerhead2009 I tried but couldn't
I did want that BZ ,but I am sure it will be in the shop coming up ,this WZ just looks flunky which some guys will like ,I am more old school regular war camos on my tanks ,I wont be bidding on the WZ
Hey qb have you seen the buffs for 1.24 on ru server, and do you think they might come to eu? For example m48 patton (health 2000 -> 2200, top speed 45 -> 50 ,engine power,cammo buff and hull and turn dispersion by 20%). Also m4a1 rev ( pen 200 -> 236 ,gold pen 250 -> 270 , viewrange 390 -> 400)
I'm surprised there was no BZ-176. it could go 20k gold or even more and people would buy it
And QB is right. it would ruin the game balance. The few that are in the game already have messed it up.
WG knows that BZ-176 is completely toxic to the game. However much WG would make from selling them, they'd probably still end up being an economic loss because of the secondary effectg of introducing new BZ's to the matchmaker.
WG is greedy, to be sure. But remember that greediness with an accountant on hand can look different than greediness without.
In Asia server most of the tanks got bid by Free xp, no gold auction, 2 credit and 4 free xp i think
Dang tht sucks they just made it a direct copy on PC. On the console the Qilin is a little different it has 560 alpha damage instead with some slight tweaks here n there.
Got the t-22, the bz, and the isu. Already had the tl-7 and not interested in the 5a reskin
Worst auction ever, didn’t buy anything, no deals for credits and crazy prices for gold
I’ll leave my 300 millions for the assembly shop
Good old days with realistic HE shells.
I also miss the old HE mechanic. I still don't get it why Wg had to change it
"boo-hoo this low tier IS-3 is spamming HE to my almighty T95/FV4201!!!!!! I'm not invincible hulldown if I'm getting hit for 7 HP each time!!!! WG please nerf HE!!!!1!!!1!!"
I guess it was something like this from the biggest clan wars players (Aka no-life)
@751.L exactly. I still don't get it why this was a Problem. At least you could do something. Nowadays you simply wait to get farmed by such Hull down monsters
@@751.L if you talking facts I want to remind you that numbers were different. For example 60TP would do around 300damage with HE on my S.Conq.
Not a unicum but I see the point why it was changed.
@@test_nametest_surname1794 you are right, but that 60TP reload time would still be the same as 750dmg AP, only to do a fraction of the damage with HE.
Armor in world of tanks was and is still very strong in the meta (even when considering gold ammo), and I believe that the HE nerf was an unnecessary buff to the already best tanks.
There is no fun fighting hulldown monsters when you have no answer, and HE was not even that good for most tanks. But at least it was something.
Is it possible to disable this silly dragon look?
Damn he was lucky. when shooting ebr I usually get armor not pene or just a wheel.. normally tank would be gone if hit.. still I dont think he would make same result nowdays.. too many of these RNG & 15-1 games where u die in a single shot oddly.
I think WG made mistake selling this for gold. It's just not worth it for anyone except few collectors. I think greed will not pay off in this case.
If it was for free XP they might win more along the way by depleting some of the economy and setting up for next promotion/assembly shop.
They did drain my free XP last year for example. This year it's cheaper because of bad deals. I'm fine with _only_ TL-7.
When is next assembly shop
@@Rizzle2K9 considering how WG start the year probably within 6 weeks.
its the X mas boxes effect, i won 100k gold in boxes, can buy all these auctions.
WG knows that they need to try to burn our gold lol
No tech-tree tank in my view is worth that much gold just because it got new cool skin. lol. this and Mars does look good, but at least MArs is not tech-tree tank. I got ISU-122-2(first time in auction and first one bought from there) kinded by suprise, its was 8100(or was it 9100, the base price anyway), I though I wont get it anyway,but why not as it seem intresting tank. To my suprise in the next morning it was in garage XD
I don't think the auction was that successful on the NA server. I don't think any of the tanks went for more than the minimum bid price, and I don't even think all the units sold. I bought the TL-7 for the minimum bid, and I never saw the competitive bid price, nor the number of players in the auction because I don't think all 5000 units were even bid on.
From what I’ve gathered, I c and to the same conclusion. I don’t think all the units sold for any of the auctions this year. Had to be a huge flop on NA. The fact I could log in as soon as the auctions start, put down a min bid, and know I got the tank already shows that.
how much did it go for??
Do you prefer to quilin or bz 72 1 ,in this action?
I spend more than enough money on this video game during the course of a year. I will not participate in buying anymore vehicles sold for gold. It's a terrible financial decision that I will not fall into.
this
I got the BZ for 23.5k and QL for 26k on EU server. Left over gold from Christmas so was worth the snag. The rest i wasn’t interested in.
Honestly don’t care about the auction I just wanna know how to reach silver in onslaught I can only do about eight battles a day and am still stuck in iron. Went up to bronze c but then I fell down with a losing streak back to iron c😢
It's 19000 already...for a skin
isu-122-2 gets 258 standard pen and 68 he pen :) same standard pen as the t-103 for that matter
