Lol that's exactly what I thought when you showed the angling! Why won't they nerf this thing??? They nerfed the Type 59 (then later re-buffed) and that was a purchased tank... The Obj 140 is larger than the 279, makes sense
@@idlethreat7193 Yeah, this tank makes no sense. I mean, you have to shoot premium for it to have a realistic weakspot, but then it's still not a great chance to pen.
One quick thing I wish was covered was where to pen the sides as well, how much is overangling for this thing to sidescrape. Knowing the thresholds where to pen with standard if possible, and premium rounds. Great review though Voodoo ty!
@Anthony Smith well that's what I wrote)) step one - use gold step too - forget about gold and pepper with HE (since you are on step 2, then step 1 not working)
I flat refuse to play my Obj. 279e simply because it MAKES players fire premium rounds at it. No tank in this game should make any player burn up credits to pen.
@@bruno_felix You by no means NEED gold to get through the E-100, you never have needed it. The E-100 has one of the most balanced layouts of gun, mobility, and armor in the game. You just have to aim weakspots, you know...since the E-100 is made of weakspots. Side of the gun mantlet if they over-angle the turret is easy pen, lower plate if they can't hide it or put it on a slight downhill is easy pen, the bar on top is easy pen albeit a thin target, you can even fire right at the base of the turret and sometimes get a shot into the turret ring. People just load gold because that is all the big youtubers that are good at the game tend to do and because there are bullshit tanks that you kinda do need gold for, so if you have gold loaded anyway and are looking at an E-100 might as well shoot him in the face since gold, especially HEAT makes the entire turret face a weakspot. Biggest thing to remember to do in the E-100 is not be next to something a player needs gold to have a chance of penning, that way the players that do the reasonable thing and just take a few premium shells for the tanks they know they need them for might not just be spamming it. Worst case just turn your E-100 into an HE-100 and spam HE at people, loads of fun.
I face hug these in my Kranvagn. I can confirm, it works. The Kranvagn is high enough reliably pen the front, but the 279 won't see your hull, only your turret.
There was an obj 279 coming at me aggressively in a match, I unloaded all heat magazine of my Kranvagn, at his cupola, all penetration, he started running back, even though I was already empty at that point. xD
Superheavy players: So I have to angle the turret and armor, but the shells will still have a 50% chance to go through since they have so much penetration. Keep this in mind guys. Object 279e players: VROOM VROOM On another note, They still can't balance super heavies. Literally I just play Russian tanks more since they are built to resist gold shells and if you angle well you can bounce regular rounds. Legitimately the Maus and E-100 suck because their armor means nothing whenever someone with high penetration heat shells hits you. Meanwhile in an IS-7 I can just wiggle my tank and HEAT bounces right off and not to mention the side which is just disgustingly trolly.
If you are to one side then shoot between the head ligth and the edge of the vehicle The curve of the upper plate is negated even if you are maybe one or two tank widths to the side.
Fighting lower tiers in a 279 is a joke, but any decent player can ruin it same tier. 2 key on flat ground you don't bounce anything if they have heat. TDs with AP and things like super conq if you aren't above them just cheese you to. For context if you have the higher ground on mountain pass bridge and a 5a is at the edge of the bridge firing heat he is still gonna pen almost every round. The tank is broken but you have to also use your brain in it, everyone fires gold default when they see it and the armor isn't actually that strong unless you use the terrain to make it so. Skill just posted a good video of him explaining this while going for 3rd mark.
I 100% agree with this. Unfortunately I was too afraid to try to explain that to the general population of WOT, lol. I personally think the 279e is "broken" but not "over powered". For example, I think arty is a broken mechanic, but it's reload time makes it balanced. I think the chieftain is overpowered.
@@TRUvoodoo it was an excellent video man 😊 Think you explained exactly what was needed I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in as an owner of one myself. Keep up the great content.
Most players in the game just do the same stupidity over and over. Sitting right in front of each other. If you can survive 2 shots from this tank. My opinion and tip would be to track him twice close in and get side shot's. This is the same stupidity done when players come up against a non turret tank TD. Simple concept Track and Flank. But this is also the game style WG forces on players with it's funneling, corridor, walled off maps. With little flanking opportunities. But me in that situation die or not because I don't play for a WR I would have tracked him twice let him burn up his repair kits and rushed up on him and flanked and got some sided shots in.
Exactly! You can't flank because most positions are covered by redline, elevated bush + hard cover positions, so you can't do that. At least in 15 v 15. In brawl it was a lot better, you actually have flanking opportunities.
My rule of tumb is to shoot the hull directly under the gun. So when he is comming around a corner wait till the gun manlet/gun is exposed so you can shoot the hull Like in 5:33
Thank you TRU for a very informative and entertaining review and tutorial on how to pen this tank, your video help us a lot. I hope to see more in the future. Thanks.👍
I usually do go for side armor or rear armor rams if I can, but if it's heavy vs heavy, you usually take equal damage still. I mainly try to just take their track off with a ram if possible.
I've met this on my ISU-152. Only several shots and I'm in the hangar. But I didn't penetrate him in any place, this thing doesn't have lower plate and it's impossible to penetrate without 340+ penetration.
if you can facehug him in a taller tank, yes, you can. I know for a fact, with a somua SM and gold loaded, facehugging one, you can unload 1500dmg straight into his ufp, because from the somua's height, it only becomes 240mm effective. I've done this ign.
When I`m vs. a 279e , I usually fight him from a distance. I try to never face hug him, cause to me the pen on that thing it's just an RNG thing. Try to keep the distance cause 279e players are cocky and will come for you. So, distance + upper ground should do the trick.
The chieftain is the ultimate. The 279e is much easier to beat when it's hull down or elevated compared to the chieftain. I think 279e just gets more hate because the armor is so weird and you have to shoot premium at it. At least you can pen a chieftain low plate with standard ammo if it's in the open...but in a hull down, I'd rather fight a 279e over a chieftain. I can look into it for sure and see if I can come up with some strategies.
@@TRUvoodoo I know man. I'm a medium/light tank 0 gold ammo player so I never engage these tanks in front. Cheiftain is a bigger deal for me because it eats my team faster than I can carry the battle. Now that I think about it you probably don't have much to say, I'll try to find some ways to carry battles with them better. Thanks for reply! BTW, I got myself Manticore recently because of your video and I don't remember myself being more happier in this game. This tank is lovely :D
If the chieftain is hull down and you cant outflank your only option is to fire HE. The chieftain is why I ended up playing a lot of death star in ranked. The HE can really mess those things up as they smugly poke over a ridgeline farming the plebs. Basically if there's a chieftain on a map with a prominent hull down area of engagement you want to consider your options carefully before you choose to engage him there.
I only recently got back into the game and don’t have tier x yet but I’ve played against plenty of tier x in my 8s and 9s and I’ve never faced this tank once. With all the videos I see about it I though it was something I’d be facing every other game but I haven’t seen one.
Not a lot of people have them and the people who do play them get arty focused every game so they don't play them often. But there is still a lot of negative hype around the tank so I made this video
I bounced that tank with the shit barn. Hesh bounced, ap bounced and hit someone else, high explosive also bounced or got absorbed. The barn was once feared but since it got nerfed 2x it's now a bag of points next to the afk player
@@Stevemoto701 I have a 92 percent of accuracy. That means if I ever miss you are in good cover or rng sent my shell into orbit. I try to use Ap since I dont enjoy firing 8,800 credits per shot. And I go for weak spots that most Russian tanks dont have. I shoot the compollers, I look for a flat surface armor. This yank is bs. But just about every other one is bullshit. For example the compollers on the is 7 are trenched into the turret. And I tell you what I shot down into the is 7s engine bay with hesh and with ap and they both bounced. Try and explain that. Try and bullshit another comment. Note: you disregarded both nerfs that I mentioned. Plus if you look at all the comments its required to fire gold at the tank in order to kill it.

I pen the 279 (e) with a Premium ammo in my WZ-111 1 G FT 130 mill at the front (The Chinese tier 8 TD has a better prem ammo than most guns at tier 8s)
If they wanted to make the tank more realistic, WG should have made this tank's traverse speed really slow and the tracks very easily to get destroyed, as they are in real life.
Have seen your vid for a long time. Thank you, I like all your vids. Why are you in chai clan btw. I was think why does the chai seem to be revived lol.
I got invited by Haglar and I like the people in there so I joined. I will most likely just be inactive but it's still nice to play with them once in a while.
@@TRUvoodoo It's kinda surprise, the clan is (was) a chinese clan. I just checked the member; lemmingrush is also there. A lot of other unicums in the clan, are you guys taking over the clan now lol.
HESH from my FV193B works great on them regardless of where I hit the freaking things. Lord help the 279e that I get an ASS shot on with that loaded. Best I ever rolled was over 2K with one round.
Step one, follow the steps you follow aganist - like don't fight them when they are in advantageous position against you, unless they are about to cap? - Step two kill all his allies first while ignoring him (i.e. evading ... see cap thing) and then gang up on him. Rumor has it even a tier 8 Tank can penetrate a 90mm rear and no position in your cap lets the e279 press his ass against a wall.... -Step three if one tier 8 survivor can keep him permatracked and the other can cap ... just make sure the 279e MF doesn't win, ok? Step somewhere way later, if you happen to sit in a tier 9 or 10 heavy against a 279e with good goldpen ... the things you said there where actually quite insightfull for me and worth watching the video ;-). Just trade well and you will have done your team a service, with your tips, people can do that better.
Thx for this , i just got my 279 and sucked with it unless playing vs tier 8, which is totally pointless. I am also not a heavy tank player so i have avoided this tank most of the time.
Every time I meet this tank I am tier 8, it doesn't matter what I am in I cannot pen this tank if the person is a good player and most are who have managed to get it they know how to protect their cupola. If you don't have 340 pen and 120mm gun you literally have zero chance, they just bulldoze you and the rest of your team.
I see the chieftan way more than these monstrosities, I've heard the are boring to play. Also what is your take on fixing fuel tanks? I noticed against the stb you did not. I have heard different opinions on whether to fix them. BTW thanks for the vid, it will help me!
I almost always fix my fuel tank. I just wasn't taking that fight seriously, it was more staged to help get a point across. You have a very high chance for a fire if your fuel tank is damaged, so I fix it, even if I have a fire extinguisher.
Funny how you don't put up beat the Chieftian video. Just to show the other op tank. Also the video was in a training room. 330 heat will pen the 279 if you check the armor model like most should.
I guess just watch the video but from the perspective of surviving in a 279e. I think the biggest tip for surviving in one is trying to not be tilted downhill when the enemy is shooting at you. Most shoot prem at this thing now automatically, like people do vs e100s so you really can't just W key and survive like when it came out.
If you go to tanks.gg, Tanks tab, find obj 279e, go to it's 3D model, find the collision dropdown and change it to live. Now you can rotate the tank with your mouse to simulate the angle a shell would be flying at it. This will by default show what it looks like to pen versus another 279e with standard ammo. You can go to the compare tab and choose the amx cda 105 and click save. Now that you are back at the 279e, you can see at the bottom it says 'vs amx cda 105' and it shows what gun and ammo is selected. Frontally it looks like cupola only if he is flat. If you tilt him down like 10 degrees you will see you can pen the front with standard ammo. This is kind of what I mentioned in the video, like if he's slightly downhill and starts rocking, you might be able to time a penetration. If you change to premium the very front becomes like 60% chance to pen on flat. Or if he traversed left or right just barely, you can pen very easily. He has to be straight on to you.
Ahm thats the daily with this 279?! You see it and and catch it HEAT rounds ... well same with T95/FV4201 .... the probably best tanks need to fire gold ammo like every time I see them and they´re hitting me!
Ok. Target is like 1% of frontal siluet, when distance gets 50m plus, its a hard pixelsnipe, factor in pen RNG and a moving target i bet 1/3 is bonce 1/3 miss and the last one hits u here "critical hit" and 0 dmg!
As a tank to come hulldown with this dumb thing and win, it'll be my Type 5. More health, more armor, and the derp gun does splash dmg so armor legit means nothing. I hate this tank so much that I'll use that tank to beat this thing
279e is just the most broken tank with tracks But ebr and arty both not even being tanks are just 100 times worse. Arty more like 1000 times worse. You can load gold against 279s you can get lucky with shots on racecars but what can you do against the hand of god? Exactly.. nothing!!!
It's over Anakin. I have the high ground!
Lol that's exactly what I thought when you showed the angling! Why won't they nerf this thing??? They nerfed the Type 59 (then later re-buffed) and that was a purchased tank... The Obj 140 is larger than the 279, makes sense

It’s bad when there has to be a video guide entirely dedicated to strategies for beating a particular tank....
when there is a video guide to how to play a map or tank your not in a game in more its just scripted play.
That is WoT from 2018. Onwards...
Step One: Load the gold.
Step Two: There is no Step Two.
Step 2: forget about gold, load HE and pepper it until it kills you
@Anthony Smith well that's what I wrote))
step one - use gold
step too - forget about gold and pepper with HE (since you are on step 2, then step 1 not working)
Step two is to fire the shell after its done reloading why do you even load the shell but not firing it?
gold will do nothing if WG doesnt allow you to do damage
Step 3 run or flank
that intro is golden
It also has a huge ammo rack in the sides. Recently blown one up in my T-44-100 xd
So you were that asshole that ammo racked me. Nah but some T-44 ammo racked me, t30 ammo racked but 44 caused it to explode
Yeah the whole sides are just ammo
At least the fuel tanks are more or less invincible.
I do this t100lt 2x times on the side
That was funny..

The "shots" on the left coppola didd't actually hit the cuppola, but its front, slightly. You hit the front and it dings. You have to hit it well

How to defeat all Russian heavy tanks. Track, Track, Track and let teammates flank it and shoot it in the ass.
yea, he is 1 and 5 of us...nice strategy when 279 is last player maybe
When the strategy needs to involve going around it or have more people, it is clearly broken. And also remember that he has teammates too
This is why I'm always prioritise 279 when play as TDs.
The odds are you’ll not defeat the 279e without a teammate flanking it, either as a distraction to it or as the kill shot.

If they wanted to make the tank more realistic, WG should have made this tank's traverse speed really slow and the tracks very easily to get destroyed, as they are in real life.
Have seen your vid for a long time. Thank you, I like all your vids. Why are you in chai clan btw. I was think why does the chai seem to be revived lol.
I got invited by Haglar and I like the people in there so I joined. I will most likely just be inactive but it's still nice to play with them once in a while.
@@TRUvoodoo It's kinda surprise, the clan is (was) a chinese clan. I just checked the member; lemmingrush is also there. A lot of other unicums in the clan, are you guys taking over the clan now lol.
Very helpful thank you.
one question??? How we can get obj.780
HESH from my FV193B works great on them regardless of where I hit the freaking things. Lord help the 279e that I get an ASS shot on with that loaded. Best I ever rolled was over 2K with one round.
Gold : Ohh , i hope we will damage him
Normal: .........
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Step one, follow the steps you follow aganist
- like don't fight them when they are in advantageous position against you, unless they are about to cap?
- Step two kill all his allies first while ignoring him (i.e. evading ... see cap thing) and then gang up on him. Rumor has it even a tier 8 Tank can penetrate a 90mm rear and no position in your cap lets the e279 press his ass against a wall....
-Step three if one tier 8 survivor can keep him permatracked and the other can cap ... just make sure the 279e MF doesn't win, ok?
Step somewhere way later, if you happen to sit in a tier 9 or 10 heavy against a 279e with good goldpen ... the things you said there where actually quite insightfull for me and worth watching the video ;-). Just trade well and you will have done your team a service, with your tips, people can do that better.
I remeber killing a full HP 279 whit HE in my VK 100 P before was nerfed by shoting his tracks lmao
I once Loaded gold on the jadgtiger and pen 279e frontly and ammo rack it
You can pen in front with the BL-10
First shot to track him and keep going behind it and shoot from back or side
So, press 2, right?
I press 2 vs every tier 10 heavy, but this thing is still a challenge with premium, for sure.
Thx for this , i just got my 279 and sucked with it unless playing vs tier 8, which is totally pointless. I am also not a heavy tank player so i have avoided this tank most of the time.
I ammo racked one once he had full health he was mad I was in a jagdpanzer E-100
This tank should never see anything but tier 10 tanks period.
Just too op.
Every time I meet this tank I am tier 8, it doesn't matter what I am in I cannot pen this tank if the person is a good player and most are who have managed to get it they know how to protect their cupola. If you don't have 340 pen and 120mm gun you literally have zero chance, they just bulldoze you and the rest of your team.
I see the chieftan way more than these monstrosities, I've heard the are boring to play. Also what is your take on fixing fuel tanks? I noticed against the stb you did not. I have heard different opinions on whether to fix them. BTW thanks for the vid, it will help me!
I almost always fix my fuel tank. I just wasn't taking that fight seriously, it was more staged to help get a point across. You have a very high chance for a fire if your fuel tank is damaged, so I fix it, even if I have a fire extinguisher.
@@TRUvoodoo OK thx Tru believe it or not I have had players swear it does nothing and should not be fixed!?!
Funny how you don't put up beat the Chieftian video. Just to show the other op tank. Also the video was in a training room. 330 heat will pen the 279 if you check the armor model like most should.
Awesome content, thanks!
Would have gone for the tracks on the stb1
Why does mine get killed so easily but I can't pen it at all
I guess just watch the video but from the perspective of surviving in a 279e. I think the biggest tip for surviving in one is trying to not be tilted downhill when the enemy is shooting at you. Most shoot prem at this thing now automatically, like people do vs e100s so you really can't just W key and survive like when it came out.
İs amx cda 105 peneterate 279e?
If you go to tanks.gg, Tanks tab, find obj 279e, go to it's 3D model, find the collision dropdown and change it to live. Now you can rotate the tank with your mouse to simulate the angle a shell would be flying at it. This will by default show what it looks like to pen versus another 279e with standard ammo. You can go to the compare tab and choose the amx cda 105 and click save. Now that you are back at the 279e, you can see at the bottom it says 'vs amx cda 105' and it shows what gun and ammo is selected.
Frontally it looks like cupola only if he is flat. If you tilt him down like 10 degrees you will see you can pen the front with standard ammo. This is kind of what I mentioned in the video, like if he's slightly downhill and starts rocking, you might be able to time a penetration. If you change to premium the very front becomes like 60% chance to pen on flat. Or if he traversed left or right just barely, you can pen very easily. He has to be straight on to you.
Great tips thanks!
I jist play T49 and hit him every time for 300 or more dmg....maybe its slow....but effective if u team dont know how to play
Why is Tru uploading so late
TRU dedication! I just wanted to finish it tonight and it took me a while to get it how I wanted ;)
Stop! I rely on everyone's ignorance to make me look like a good 279 player.
I love a well balanced game.
IKR! Sits in middle of the open* "Here we can see an OBJ 279e using his armor effectively"....lol
If i have less then 340 heat i am like NOPE and try to shoot other tanks and get in his back
Still pisses me off they give this thing to best players. Makes sense. Imagine playing on it and also shootting gold. 0 skill needed
Ahm thats the daily with this 279?! You see it and and catch it HEAT rounds ... well same with T95/FV4201 .... the probably best tanks need to fire gold ammo like every time I see them and they´re hitting me!
Well the best way is to tell your team to load he shells.
So this is a balanced tank?
i burned one down in my t110e4 just cause i was on a hill and not spotted, after game guy accuses me of hacking lol i wasnt firing gold
Ok. Target is like 1% of frontal siluet, when distance gets 50m plus, its a hard pixelsnipe, factor in pen RNG and a moving target i bet 1/3 is bonce 1/3 miss and the last one hits u here "critical hit" and 0 dmg!
My T30 ammo racked this with one shot, full health.
As a tank to come hulldown with this dumb thing and win, it'll be my Type 5. More health, more armor, and the derp gun does splash dmg so armor legit means nothing. I hate this tank so much that I'll use that tank to beat this thing
279e is just the most broken tank with tracks
But ebr and arty both not even being tanks are just 100 times worse. Arty more like 1000 times worse. You can load gold against 279s you can get lucky with shots on racecars but what can you do against the hand of god? Exactly.. nothing!!!
Anyways chieftain is my big love. Op but you need a brain. Just better to play with the good speed.
@@streetracingsyndicate9512 chieftain is not op
Type 5 Heavy owns all heavys 1v1 and thats just facts..I fk these up all the time with Type 5
thanks
Just get the jageru and spam heat. That's how I balance this tank
U dont have time to aim between tracks nor cupola when he wiggling, the tip is, dont fight 279 hulldown ever
This tank must be deleted from random battles or must be nerfed as well. I did turn it on the side with 705A to pen...pathetic
Use the high-explosive shell, just like we doing it. Hello from Russia!
4:56 yeah tank combat at it's most realistic. Glad I didn't stick with WoT for too long
All you need to do is to load gold shells
