  • In this video we play the American Giant that was KING of low tier! The T29 is a Rank 4 American Heavy Tank at Battle Rating 7.0!
    Back when this thing was 6.7 it absolutely smashed its way through the ranks of 5.7 - 6.7 but now it can face cold war tanks, planes and even helicopters.
    The T29 is still good but today I wanted to find out if it was still THAT good! :)

    "Same BR as an IS-6, not sure how that happened."
    We ALL know how that happened Bawz. It's the same story for EVERY good vehicle. People play it, realize it's good. Some Russian/German/American main cries their way onto the forums. More people play it, realize it IS actually good. Gaijin sees tons of people are playing a good vehicle and raise it's BR because fun is not allowed.

    Protip: If you see a T29. T30 or T34 - don't aim at the side of the turret unless you're using HESH or HEAT. Thing bounces like crazy for some reason. Took me 4 shots from the long 8.8 before it went through one time.

      They only gave the T34 and T29 half their irl armor on the front plate. You can literally shoot this thing anywhere that isn’t the gun mantlet and punch a hole straight through it (edit: provided you’re using something larger than a 75 of course), and even then because it only has 60% of its irl armor on the turret cheeks you can punch straight through those too with a half decent shot.

    The T29/Skyshark combo is one of my favorite duos in the entire game. Both helped me massively for grinding when I got them about a year and a half ago. One of the first tanks and planes I had a fantastic time in as a newer player. The Skyshark alone helped me master energy retention when doing CAS with how it flies.

      T34 being at 6.7 is still pretty much a crime for sure. Its armor can bounce even long 88s (Russian cannons are even more useless against it) and is literally just a better King Tiger overall with a bigger reload rate and solid shot (which let's be honest doesn't really matter, since the shell is so big, it causes tons of spalling). Facing it with 5.7 vehicles is scary and my only hope is flanking it (hard to do especially if the player doesn't drive into the middle of the battlefield.

    Average german player:
    1)Picks the most overpowered tank at its BR
    2)Dies in a fight that was an easy win
    3)Instantly picks plane and divebombs as revenge
    4)Loses the game because caps were completely ignored

    With the br changes recently I only get 6.7 and below. I only get uptiered when I play with friends

    They hardly put up a fight this time. The last two games in particular looked like the enemy team was being bullied.

    Meanwhile the T29 turret on WOTB is literally impenetrable

      Because on WOT they actually gave it the full armor thickness the actual T29 had. Both it and the T34 have the lowest amount of any of their irl models, with the majority of those tanks having nearly twice as much as they do in game. This was the American equivalent to the King Tiger and Gaijin didn’t like that so they made it unrealistic as per usual.

    That is currently the best tier to play. At least you don't get splattered by missiles from helicopters or drones.

    Love sending a long 88 shell through this thing’s lower glacis.People who play Tiger IIs and complain about T34/T29 have no idea what they’re doing.

      As it is with a lot of people who play Germany lmao. Players suck playing that tech tree and it is coddled the most.

    That T-54 was so overconfident and when he got himself clapped he came back and revenge bombed 😭 nobody i hate more than those people

    I still see the T29 and its T34 cousin at 6.7 A LOT. The long 88 of the Tiger II and the Panther II can generally deal with them.
