I’m just glad we finally have a line that’s come over from PC that wasn’t complete garbage like the Italian heavies Feels nice to actually have good tanks worth playing that aren’t E4’s, super conq’s, 5a’s and all of the other stuff that’s been meta for ages
I’m not sure if they’ve buffed or nerfed this since this video, but 3300 dpm with the auto loader when there are T57 heavies in the game with over 4700 dpm is kind of stupid.. T57s only downfall is poor mobility and lack of armor. But it’s still king. I love somewhat armored, much more mobile tanks myself, so this VZ55 will do great for me, but it needs more DPM. Come on under 20 second reload on a 1600 alpha clip, vs 17.4 second reload with a 980 alpha clip. That’s just awful.. don’t make it a monster of DPM, but at least make it competitive, like 15 to 15.5 second reload with no food. And it’s a beast (not OP) but beast.
You make a good point about the single shot gun, they do seem nice but I would say that if you're going to use the single shot, you'd be better off just playing the 5a, similar platform good mobility and armor but the RoF is significantly better on the 5a. The same can probably be said with the 8 and 9 too, the single shot gun seems to the competitive but nothing too special, it's the double tap that sets theses tanks apart from the other tanks in their respective tiers :)
Usually when I grinding the new line I am selling lower tier tanks. But this line is exceptionally great. I left in the garage tier IX as well. Great tanks and it was pleasure to work on them. Thanks for your review. Superb video as always. 👍
Yeah the 9 has arguably better armour than the tier 10 because the upper plate is thicker and also the turret doesn’t have a huge tumour on the top I blocked more damage on average in the 9 but the 10 deals it way more easily
Awesome games. Since I have never started this line, I need to start at T3.. The tanks look like a lot of fun, but I already have around 6 line now grinding. Not to mention CW lines.. lol 😆
I’ve been thinking about getting this or the rinoceronte. I watched both of your vids but can’t decide which one I like better. What are your thoughts?
Did you free xp the line or grind like a beast? Currently on the TNH 51 (Single Shot) gun here but spent 4k gold to bypass the stock gun (Also used Free XP to bypass Stock VZ-44-1) but grinded rest so far with boosters.
Free XP'd grinds on them and used 5x XP to grind the xp to go from one tank to the next (well ran out of free XP 2k before the autoloader on the 9) took 25 games with 5x to get the tier X from the 9
I definitely will, I've got the next tank lines replays in order just got to get to recording it! (Trying to do the ones that get reforged as no point doing one line for it to get reforged In 3 weeks time etc) E5 next
Why bother with the single shot, the double shot is what makes this tank special, I could just play my WZ-111 5A or QL which both have a faster rate of fire
the reload for the two shot gun is WAY too fast, 17 second reload is insane, on pc it's more like 20 to 21 second reload, i smell a HUGE nerf coming for the VZ 55 coming soon
Na it won’t get nerfed. In the hands of good players this thing is amazing Wait until the average and bad players get it and they will drag the stats down, since it’s a tech tree vehicle and not a premium tank like the T56, it won’t be only super unicums playing it The same reason the E4 got buffed and now it’s just a stupidly good tank, because bad players dragging the stats down
I was in the type 4 heavy and I bumped into someone with the vz.55 i didn't stand stand a chance it's as if my tank didn't have any armor at all I think the type for heavy needs a little bit of a buff to the frontal armor the tank is so damn slow so after like driving for half of the battle then finally getting into the battle and then getting basically instant killed by a vz.55 or a mortar tank is pretty lackluster in my opinion
they said on stream that type 4 has #1 blocked dmg for it's tier so won't do that. Type 4/5's problem is same as the Maus as it has so much armour that Premium Rounds is almost guaranteed to have to pen it and people will fire Premium as no point bouncing Standard Rounds when you can pen with Premium. Rather than Buffing Armour, maybe weaken Premium Rounds? but doubt they will do that either.
@@dgeneratio1 why would they weaken premium rounds and then all the tanks like type 5’s and everything would be broken Japanese heavies are just bad tanks in general
@@TescoRoadman They probably wouldn't but i put myself in the mind of the poster about how to make armour more relevant. Personally i think it should be left as it is, especially after the disgusting HE Buff it got.
@@nephalos666 so your type 4 will still get destroyed like usual? Only a bit slower? Seems like a stupid solution that doesn’t actually achieve anything, just prolongs your inevitable death. Especially if an autoloader like a T57 or Batchat is shooting at you, that reduced damage ain’t going to help much

Enjoying tier 9 now, really great heavy tank, looking forward for tier 10. GG btw, take care 😉
Cheers 👍

Yeh the whole line is awesome!
On my way up this line at the minute enjoying the 8 as I've just got the top turret. Looking forward to the 9 & 10.
For some reason a lot of people are playing this line rn. Anyways the tier 9 is awesome, the tier 10 in the other side, is pure meta
They're all a hell of a lot of fun!
Awesome games. Since I have never started this line, I need to start at T3.. The tanks look like a lot of fun, but I already have around 6 line now grinding. Not to mention CW lines.. lol 😆
Cheers mate 👍 it's well worth the grind, lots of fun to play
GGs!! I agree the whole line is great. I am still at tier IX, but getting closer to the VZ55.
You'll love it when you get it!
Do you recommend it or not? and I take which between the 430U object and the udes 15/16?
Yes, definitely, this tank is awesome!
Also 430u's a lot of fun and worth going for too
Tidy tank, tidy replays! GG
Cheers dude 👍
I’ve been thinking about getting this or the rinoceronte. I watched both of your vids but can’t decide which one I like better. What are your thoughts?
I think the Rinos a lot better now then it was but this VZ55 is so worth going for!

Free XP 💰
Grinding like a beast, already at tier IX.
Free XP'd grinds on them and used 5x XP to grind the xp to go from one tank to the next (well ran out of free XP 2k before the autoloader on the 9) took 25 games with 5x to get the tier X from the 9
Seems pretty OP.
Not really, it's damn good but not OP.
@@Petty360whaaaat it's literally perfect
Great Video great job 👏👌👍
Cheers mate 👍
Imho it‘s not only the pinnacle of the tech tree. It is also the pinnacle of CSSR tanks in the game…apart from the beastie Ragnarok.
It's definitely very good!
Can you keep the on-track series going? It’s personally my favorite part of your channel
I definitely will, I've got the next tank lines replays in order just got to get to recording it! (Trying to do the ones that get reforged as no point doing one line for it to get reforged In 3 weeks time etc)
E5 next
@@Petty360 cool, I cant wait
Well played 👏
Cheers 👍
Had to do 11.5k to master this tank 💪
Yup I bet it's really high now
When i'm at tier X i will try to pop open a lot of PLEBS.
Always good to do
Why bother with the single shot, the double shot is what makes this tank special, I could just play my WZ-111 5A or QL which both have a faster rate of fire
Exactly
You are lucky to have back up on T 57 other wise T 57 is Dengerous and you would have been Tosted
That's why I went after it because I had help
@UCFYjDBlrPqHLLdxhEdB_QnQ I can definitely start playing it again! (I do have several videos on it! 😁)
@@Petty360 i just saw one
i no lifed and got it first game i did 4.4k (to baf you have to like 7k for ur mark to go up on it)
Always going to happen on a tank like this
the reload for the two shot gun is WAY too fast, 17 second reload is insane, on pc it's more like 20 to 21 second reload, i smell a HUGE nerf coming for the VZ 55 coming soon

@Obj268v5 the reload isn't that bad, you can't get it below 23 seconds
@Obj268v5 the VZ 55 does it better now, 17 second reload is just insane, makes the T57 kinda less OP
@Obj268v5 T57 is nasty since it has four shots, but the VZ 55 is terrifiying to come across if it has the two shot autoloader
THE GAME STILL IS GARBAGE, no more,
No u
