I mean, theres a big difference between the 2. Ideally, the tank would be balanced. Just look at the 114 SP2 or the Centauro or the TS-60. Those tanks aren't the best, but they can still be fun to play. This tank is just straight garbage
@@Petty360 My experience has been totally the opposite than the rest. Partly because i kinda expected it to not withstand any HEAT round with over 275mm of penn at all. And, because is a fast accurate vehicle, wouldn't mean it was a snapshooting machine. I kinda accept is not one of the best, but is not THAT bad itself, specially considering it plays a simillar game that the recently and undeserved nerfed Minotauro does, but better in terms of being FAR more versatile.
@@josefstalin9678 T114 BAT the same Obviously would be better with higher muzzle velocity or faster intra clip reaload but still fun to use as how it is right now
I just loaded into a game with this thing. On fire, smoking, 1 health and unable to shoot. Awesome. Edit: Just loaded in again and same thing. Guess I'll take a break!
The incompetence of this Dev team knows no bounds. I was thinking of playing some of the newly-buffed tanks in my garage but I think I’ll hold off until these ridiculous bugs are fixed. 2024 may be my last year with this game after nearly 10 years of playing and this trash season certainly isn’t helping.
This things gun isnt even as good as the Leopard's. Worse alpha, worse reload, worse pen, and waaay worse gun handling. Hell, its DPM isnt even as good as the panserjager, a tier 8 premium that you get for "free" *IN THIS SEASON* They should buff the alpha to 480 like the Badger and buff the accuracy to 0.33 as well as the dispersion. It still wouldn't be great, but at least it would be viable in the average player's hands. They could even buff the alpha to 500 and it would still have worse DPM than the Badger Its one thing to release a mediocre tank thats still fun to play (like the centauro, ts-60, or t114-bat) but this thing is just plain bad. Whats the point of a TD with a garbage gun?
@@Petty360 Yeah, I just feel like if the gun performed better, and I mean a lot better, you could actually use this thing's mobility and stealth to an advantage and snipe like a real TD. I feel like buffing the armor would just make it a hard counter to unlucky tier 8s Plus, if you actually had some distance between you and your enemies, their pen might be noticeably worse so your armor would work better and your weak spot (the turret roof) would be way harder to hit. As it is right now, you pretty much have to be right in their face where they can't possibly miss, have the best pen, and can easily maneuver around you since your turret traverse is so limited and your track traverse is so slow
@@Petty360 TBF WG knows it's crap. Low Alpha, bad reload, bad pen, bad armor, ECT. You can look at statistics of other tanks and know it's underwhelming and needs work. The Taran is $50, you're paying to win.
@@aoli7313 but the Taran is awful for the game. If they release a tank and it needs buffs than that's fine and preferable to releasing a broken tank that will forever sit in the MM and ruin games without ever being touched.
@@Petty360 I agree if it needed one or two buffs to be competitive, that works. When all the CC's say it's bad, WG just added it and feels like there was zero testing. That's not good either for the game. WG nerfed the Panzer V/IV, so possibly the Taran, but it's Russian 😂
as a Minnesotan i am extremely mad and disappointed in wargaming for changing the Minnesota flag without the consent of the player base much like how the Minnesota government changed the flag without a public vote in Minnesota it is a controversial topic with many people against the new flag i wish at least they would add the old Minnesota flag as a alternative option and i will be posting this on as many world of tanks console videos as i can as protest
@@Petty360 All to get a several ammount of games starting up with a vehicle BBQ, on 1 HP and a jammed gun. That as long as you went to the monke playground AKA multiplayer, of course.
That's exactly what I say about the armor on the thing. And to be real, depending on the game, how many shots are ACTUALLY gonna hit. It has good mobility, but the dpm could be slightly better for a tier X. Now I'm not talking shitbarn equivalent, but like 600-800 dmg. If it had more armor, I could see it having potential.
Well, mediocre tonk, it would be Hela fun if it had actual armor and not so many weakspots. Dude this thing is a tier 9 in tier 10, there is nothing going on it (unless top speed and acceleration), unfortunately ppl are right, poor little thing, needs buffs
I was trying to pen it with my Taran that has a std pen of over 300. That frontal armour is less than 300. I kept bouncing my shots. RNG for you there.
Id say it's probably not worth it but who cares because console is basically on a sinking ship. They've ruined WW2 with all of the flying premium rounds so what's the point of armor and cold war is a freaking mess. Era 1 is not great era 2 is basically a slightly less evolved version of era 3 where the only thing that's going around is auto cannons with missiles. Hell the m1 Abrams is not even worth getting because everyone just goes through it like butter.
@@prizrak-br3332 Because many players don't know where to shoot it. Any 120mm gun can overmatch the armor from the front. I think the Leopard 2A5 is the best armored Tech Tree tank in the game.
The simple fact it's a WW2 tank makes it worthless for me, I still bought it because I may be able to trade it for something else in a future trade event and the 25 tier skips. Wish the Osório was the one you get for 6k and this was the lvl100 reward.
@@Petty360 I guess it's the only way, unfortunately I only have 11k gold left, otherwise I woul've have just skipped the 100 tiers. Probably gonna wait for the season to run for 6 or 7 weeks and just grind all challanges at once then. Wargaming could just let you choose which vehicle you want for lvl 100 and which you want for the 6k bundle. What about you? I would love to see a video on it. Are you going to grind it or buy the tiers? Or does Wargaming allows for you to get a test drive to make content like Gaijin does to War Thunder CCs? I'm kinda new to the game so I don't know how things work here.
I really think you missed the boat here. This is a Cannonen Panzer. Would you brawl with any of the 3 other ones at tier 8? The extra armour is a bonus, but it was never meant to be a brawler. Shoot and scoot same as the Striker and all the others. It has the same movement and you get a semi turret and some armour as your your benefits for it being tier 10, but having both of those means the gun is made slightly worse and it has slightly less alpha. This is a great tank, why you trusted flat, barely angled plates that are below the 255 minimum strength to resist even standard tier 10 ammo as full armour is beyond me. It’s a Cannonen Panzer!
But the gun, handling of it and DPM isn't good like the other tier 8s either. It's literal only strength is mobility. Camo is ok for a TD but not exceptional (like the others you mentioned too)
There’s no denying this may be one of the worst premium season pass tanks other than the t114 batallion But I still don’t hate playing it. The alpha is painful tho lol
@@csorbalaszlo1920 heat standard sucks at tier x even with good pen. Armor sucks but I mean it’s kinda a given. It’s truly the velocity. This tank shouldn’t be up close and can’t really be used as a hit and run tank with heat rounds cuz they bounce a lot of sides on tier xs with spaced armor. It can’t snipe cuz of the awful velocity so it’s kind of a catch 22 where ur safest sniping but can’t because of the absolute horrid velocity, u kinda have to be medium to close range and corner peek distracted enemies or go for injured ones
@@auzie88 far enough I only really having problems with the standard HEAT but the tank has a pretty good camo with my setup is 250m so i can work with that but i wouldn't minde a bit higher penetration considering the low muzzle velocity maybe 330mm an the standard HEAT The crazy part is that the AVRE gun has better muzzle velocity

Have you had the 1hp on fire at the start of the game bug as yet? Fun times 😂😂😂
Had it on my taran five games in a row
Have you spawned on someone else's tank. 😂😂
@@IcyDarkRegent not as yet....cant wait! Hahaha
I saw a UA-cam replay of that this morning. It was a Russian guy and I wasn't really sure what was going on. lol
I've had it a couple times. When you're at 90% trying to 3 mark a tank it really hurts to do 0 damage
4 games so far on fire with 1 hp and can not shoot.
swap ammo and you can shoot

"Gets butchered by tier 9 and 10 prem rounds." No shit. Everything does. Prem rounds are broken, and you're forced to use them if you want to compete.
Not every tank if we're talking turret armour especially (Minotauro I'm looking at you)
Thank you for the honest review. I was almost ready to buy.
No problem 🫡
Release a new tank and it already needs a buff

Agreed..... A mediocre addition to the collection
Pretty much.
They should buff the turret armor to 300mm and the roof armor to 50mm. It would make the tank a hull down monster
Absolutely
