Yeah like a few new boards and this Christmas thing sucks a red and green toy tank and a board to run it on it sucks and the tanks r still over priced even 50%off
At first, I was expecting the Brick to be a tier 8 Rampanzer, until I saw its stats. This video clearly demonstrates its not what most people first thought it would be. Its very underwhelming for its hefty price tag of 13,400 gold and in dire need of some form of buffing. Unlike my comment in the Banana Buster review, I can stand this tank since its not cartoonish. That said, its still stupid to think bricks would make fore good spaced armor for a tank, if even effective it must be a tedious task to put them on like this. Lastly, as of the time of this post, if you pull up the Brick on the Tankopedia, you will instead get an image of the tank without the bricks on it.
Thx for listening to our crew request. Absolutely marvellous review. I'm so happy you're back. You're the Quickiebaby of the console version of wot basically. Infected by the Jingles effect ( pressing wrong buttons/not able to speak for a few seconds) lol.
Hide lower plate, hike it up on rubble/hill to hide roof from being slammed, spam gold , = not bad, it does need some sort of buff however not bad not good
They've totally messed up the game introducing these frankentanks , and the prices for these are ridiculous. Are wargaming that hard put for ideas that they do this along with cheesy loot crates . Great vid Cpt
I actually enjoy this thing, as I’m watching this video got a master badge and a 4600 damage game as top teir, me and a 65t completely swept a team on Kitimat As a player I enjoy hard to play tanks, cause t29 just to easy to do well in, deep guns just too OP, I like big behemoths that provide hard to play games, it’s a challenge and there fore for me, more fun
I saw one yesterday and destroyed it with my Alpine Tiger straightaway. EDIT: Also, in your vid heard the same bizarre sound issues I’m having. Glad it’s not just me.
Disciple1810 - The one I saw was useless for small amount of time it was on the field. I was glad to rack up damage destroying it while it pew-pew’d at my turret. Good times!
Good to see you back properly with great reviews again! I was on your team last night :-) you came 1st in absolution, loopy 2nd and myself 3rd in a KV2
I like how the beach party is meant to be a faster trinity and it still has a worse power to weight ratio than this thing. That being said I still think this thing needs a better engine. Id say at least 950 horsepower. No idea why they thought it was a good idea to give this thing the stock caernarvon engine
The wraith was a new Halloween tank. Its just a pz 58 mutz. The other one that was a mutant six was called bog horror, all it had was swamp weeds and things draped over it and some eyeballs scattered across it. They had the same stats as the tanks they were based on as far as I know, but I didn't check either of them out since I had no interest, so I might be wrong.
I am so happy that you have returned to making videos again. I am sorry you were away, but hope all is well. I stopped playing while you were gone. Welcome back you’re like a long lost friend that was sorely missed.
Why spend money on something that they will change next month anyway. They are not interested in fixing known problems with the game anymore. It is to the point even though if you still love the game you just get frustrated and give up playing. I have not played for a month now, I just look at the game for a minute and play something else.
The cheapest variant will be 13400 gold?.. or roughly $57 US.. that's pretty steep for one machine.. and there are a lot of competing ingame options for that same money or less.
Once again WOT has a made a ridiculous looking Mercenary tank. “Bricks”, really!!! OMG, Make a tank with armor that makes sense, not Sci Fi. WOT have really screwed up this Mercenary line, and I’m not sure if they even know what they are trying to do with it!!!
TheeJMC yeah there are, for instance the Motherland is on offer at just over 5k gold this week, that’s a decent medium tank and the Bricks gun works on that tank lol
So it's a tier 9 medium hull, pref matchmaking tier 8 heavy turret, and a tier 7 medium gun. This makes it a standard matchmaking premium tier 8 heavy. Nah, I'm good.
Good honest review dude-each to their own again i guess but i don't like the merc tanks in general-most of them look like the outcome of a mad max and clown orgy😀-this particular tank looks like it was quite literally cobbled together (did you see what i did there)😀-keep on tanking buddy👊🤘
Personally, I think Merc tanks are the worst addition to WoT yet and another example of powercreep. Take the Absolution at tier 6. That thing just dominates whenever it's in a match, especially as it has the panther/M10's hull, which is a whole tier higher, and unnecessary spaced armour as well. Sure the gun isn't the best, but when you can ricochet pretty much any shot, who cares? It's clear Wargaming are running out of ideas though, as they are already releasing reskins of merc tanks. Look at the recent T.A.N.K, it's literally the Turtle, but slightly more mobile, and the Beach Party is just Trinity Mk.II, but again, slightly quicker. Hopefully WG will drop Merc tanks soon, like they did with War Stories, and start concentrating on things we actually want. But as long as the dollar signs are showing, I can't see that happening.
To be quite honest, War Stories are actually useful. People have asked for a PvE game play, tho WS's campaigns are lack luster in terms of interesting stories. They also give free commanders who already have a fully trained skill. The 2 most useful missions are Chapter 1 in both the first campaign (can't remember its name atm) and Tigerfibel. Using the Tiger 131 with the silver multiplier ops on for Tigerfibel can make some good quick silver without worrying about your team failing you. As for the chapter 1 of the first campaign, its best used to grind out xp for upgrades so you aren't forced to play tanks with bad performance in full on PvP. Tho sad (or genius, depending on who you ask) I'm doing the entire grind (not just upgrades) for the T-34-2 in War Stories. The tank is fully upgraded and needs less than 74k xp to unlock the WZ-120. Its not that boring because I watch shows on my laptop next to me while I continuously grind that tank.
Whenever I see the Absolution, I take it on as my civic duty to eliminate that tank as quickly as possible. That way, my teammates can focus on other priorities and not get bogged down with that one tank. As for War Stories, I disagree. They didn't get away with it, they just cut the commercial in the general loading process and stopped adding new stories to it ( at least for now anyways). I very much enjoyed Operation Sea Lion and got the Cromwell Snakebite for my efforts.
I sent a message to wot console about this turkey so I am also posting it here. Your thoughts?? I have been a MORE than loyal WoT Console customer, but I can't let this pass. The "Brick", as I see it, IS perhaps a way for you to come up with Christmas bonuses. Whomever decided this was a good tank SHOULD BE FIRED. The concept of putting a heavy turret on a medium chassis may have merit, but making it SLOW,with "brick" armor DOES NOT. Further, putting a MEDIUM gun was STUPID. Two words: King Dragon. That started with a 100 mm gun, then got buffed up to the 105 mm. NOT to mention the 1-2 degrees of gun depression over the left front corner, trying to use the IS-6 turret. THIS crappy tank has TROUBLE in Tier IX matches, in Tier X it is called the Jack Kevorkian tank, because running it IS suicide. I would suggest using it as a boat anchor for the sea going Tog II, or move it to World of Warships for the same purpose. Can it be fixed?? OF COURSE it can. INCREASE the engine power, PUT meaningful armor on it, PUT a decent gun AND turret on it with better gun defection. MAKE IT COMPETITIVE. Perhaps limit it to Tier IX matches. You might also consider leaving it as is, and moving it to Tier V. In other words, DO YOUR JOBS. Take a look at the reviews by Capt. Beardface, Spartan Elite 43, or Cloneguy, if you think I am blowing smoke. Not to mention the PRICE of this turkey, you have let the WHOLE WoT community DOWN. Merry Christmas to YOU...
Dang I wish I had a quarter of the gold you have but I'll never get there I have tons of exp to convert and no way to do it your lucky mate to have that much gold
It's good it sees tier 10. So the dummies who bought it suffer and end up hating the tank. But those dummies are the people who keep this game alive, without them buying all the shit wargaming gives us these days the company would be shut down without them.
If we all collectively form a group and make life as hard as possible to Merc tanks in every game we will eventually stop the wallet warriors from buying them hehe
...this is true, but their money keeps the servers turned on... ...while encouraging WG to develop more of this crap instead of addressing the issues... Sigh...circling the drain?
Zapranoth 1968 yea sad but true although I would say the Console team is pretty good at listening to the community and hopefully they will stem the flow with them soon and focus on other things like the French heavies and Italian tree
Saw you out testing this yesterday cpt, I was like theses the cpt! I think this is awful tank more & more merc tanks all the time keep getting added Tiger 217 was cancelled & for what more merc stuff Sigh
I honestly love this tank! I took on a 705 and won! And we really need to get away from the stigma that firing premium ammo is scrubby or noobish! In real way you switched your semi the based on the situation! If you need to penetrate a tough enemy then use your premium ammo! How is that shameful?
people are mad about it cause instead of forcing people to think about strategy they can just pay to destroy the enemy instead of trying to use their gun in a way where ut helps the team. when everyone thinks they csn penetrate they just try to snipe even lights and heavies . it just gets annoying
They spend all their time working on this kind of shit instead of fixing the multitude of problems with the game, then they wonder why players are so Pissed Off at them.
Exactly who is asking for Mercenary premium tanks?...
No one
But people keep buying it
Hey I’m from the future and mercenary premiums would be a major upgrade from where the game is at now
@@jayvonwebb4864 .
These tanks are not really needed in the game they need to improve the game in other ways not going with these embarrassing piles of crap.

Wg would have to pay me to drive that tank around
It looks like a bag of dicks
I will stay with my Object 252U. It seem they buffed the Brick's pen to 217mm.

A tier 8 heavy with a 190 pen??? is this world of tanks or world of jokes?!? lol 😂😂
The mercenaries need their own match making I’m tired of seeing a tiger II then turning a corner and seeing “beach party” appear on my screen
I got myself a T-32 A Proto instead of this. After the video i think i made a good choice.
