This is *NOT* a rigged battle. The mission he's got activated is for DAMAGE, not blocking. He not doing any damage to the other Badger so he's obviously no rigging that. And the enemy Badger isn't doing a blocking mission either because he's not even being shot at. These two guys are definitely doing something weird, but they're not rigging. It seems to me like the he noticed the enemy Badger wasn't hitting anything and he was like "lol, let's see how many shots he'll bounce before he gets bored 😂"
The enemy was using real world logic, which I thought applicable to the game when I was new "If I shoot at a same place again and again, the armor will chip and weaken"
not sure but HE ammo don't count as damage blocked ... at least on my maus it didn't show arti hits that didn't penetrate my armor but over 7 years ago i managed to block 24k damage with maus ... and it wasn't stupid situation like this... like 7 ppl were shooting at me
Lol this replay is both the perfect encapsulation of both the problem with the hulldown meta without HE shells and the literal definition of insanity 🙄😆😂😆🙄
Two badgers, the highest DPM machines in the game, slinging gold rounds like machine guns at each other without penetrating is honestly some really funny shit EDIT: 60 rounds fired and 0 damage, nvm this isnt funny this is the greatest comedy/tragedy act of all time ☠️
It makes you wonder if they knew each other and set it up this way. So far, my highest blocked was, believe it or not, in the Lowe. It was on Studzianki, and I managed 10,250 blocked.
They don't seem to be rigging it. The player doesn't have any blocking missions activated so he has no reason to block damage. He's also not doing damage to the other Badger so he's not trying to rig the damage mission either. Also, the fact that he's aiming his gun in the air instead of bouncing shells on the enemy Badger proves that he's not helping the enemy Badger with a blocking mission either. These two guys are certainly weird but, they're definitely not rigging anything.
yeah after all the sus games we've seen. like on Claus Kellerman's channel too. but cool, thx guys for clarifying, sumorovac and stresu. that's crazy, what kind of child is on the other end of that enemy badger lmao... they don't know how the game works obviously lol
I'm not sure what was going on here exactly, but to be fair, in my beginner days I used to firmly believe that when a round fails to penetrate, it still weakens the armor at the point of impact... so I thought maybe if I shoot at the same place enough, the round will eventually penetrate 😅 which it sometime did, but only through RNG, as I found out a bit later.
You can't tell me, that the enemy badger is a real person with an actual job, responsibility, possibly kids..... And we live with these people, that makes me sad.
i think it can happen when 2 or more players hit a tank in the same place and at the same time and then it is enough that only one of them has the necessary penetration for damage and both hits will actually count (even if the other had not penetrated the same way). 🤔 or maybe this is a bug, because 70 times in 23k battles I think it happened to me along the game from 2013 till 2019
I was hopeful when you said how challenging it would be to narrate this ... a 90 second long tirade about how tenacious honey badgers are therefore being difficult to 'drain' didn't dissapoint.
Few know this but 90% of Badgers quit right before getting a lucky penetration and ammo rack This game was like the Battle of Hampton Roads but with an actual victor
That strv standing there eating all the shots from a badger sitting infront of him hulldown, without even hiding. Really hurt my brain cells edit: after seeing the results I realize that the enemy badger was 10x more ridiculous
St is not sergeant but saint! And I think Stressu was tabbing out when you saw his gun locked pointing up. Have to wonder why the enemy 4005 didn’t poke over his team mate and fire a couple rounds at Stressu
At one point, I think I blocked 7K in an Objekt 704 - of all machines. I say "I think" because, looking back at it, it seems so ridiculous I'm now doubting it ever happened.
"Wow, a Badger doing the most blocked dmg game? In a Badger, in this meta? It'll be hard facing multiple tanks, this is gonna be interesting to watch!" *watches two Badgers slinging gold at each other hull down* "Ah, fck it."
oh geez its been a long time since then, gold spam wasn't NEARLY as bad as it is now. I was in my Super Conq. just vibing, keeping the enemy distracted by my sidescraping. I ended up blocking 7000 dmg, give or take
You don't need HE or Arty, you need weakspots. If tanks had genuine weakspots then this would never happen. HE and arty is just broken things trying to balance something else that is broken, just breaking the game more. Hull down tanks need genuine weakspots, you can still have strong hull down tanks with weakspots, the Renegade is a good example, the new Arnie tank, the Chieftain Proto, decent size weakspots that means the user can't just sit still and bounce over and over.
World of Tanks seemed crazy to me until I found out the game was built mainly to launder money through fake player accounts. Now videos like this make perfect sense.
I blocked 8920 Damage with my Super Pershing in a uptier tier 9 battle on airfield i was holding the entire heavy flank stuck there while some of my teammates managed to flank around and pincer the heavies.
i had a really fun high damage-blocked match a couple months ago in an IS-6 (7800+) in tier 8 match. most of my team sat back (no surprise in WoT) so i was up front on my own. at one point, i had 5 tier7 heavies and one tier 8 medium shooting at me while i was side-scraping (shells were bouncing off me so fast, it kind of reminded me of listening to popcorn popping LOL) - i killed all but one of them (a destroyer that was supporting me finished off the medium when he tried to flank me) ! it was hilarious fun. i'm constantly surprised at how so many players in the game do not (even at tier8 and higher) have any idea about what can (and can't) be penned in different situations.
You're lucky. I can't find enemies like that for those campaign missions that require blocking. Most just stop shooting or get bored and relocate. And baiting doesn't always work in your favour.
@@hansg9832 - that was an unusual game. however, when i'm driving tanks i know can take the punishment, it's pretty normal to get 2000- 3500 block. i just got 3500 in my tier10 object277 an hour a go. and that tank isn't known for it's great armor; but get the right postion and you can make most decent armor work. my experience is : if several of their tanks can't pen you, it pisses them off something awful and they KEEP firing! LOL. that's what happened with that match in my 277. do you know how to sidescrape? it's not great for some tanks (like the defender); but, it works well for a lot of tanks. or use gun depression - very effective for tanks with great turret armor.
@@beavis4play yeah, I can get those numbers, too. I'm just having trouble with those blocking campaign missions. Blocking 2x and 3x your own HP is hard. I just wish WG would limit those missions to your own skill and not dependent on your enemies. It's basically luck.
@@hansg9832 - i couldn't agree more - it's the same with spotting damage - you can go out there and light up enemy tanks all match - but if your team sucks - good luck on getting spot-assist damage.
That was honestly ridiculous My most damage blocked was in a vi45b sidescarping on ensk. I blocked around 12000 from a wtfe100 At least 4 mags, from the unnerfed 128mm gun.
Try the badgers in Canada, I've literally hit them on the road with my truck at 110 km and they just walk off like a truck didn't run him over and piss him off lol 😆
There are technically weaker places to the left and right checks for the Badger. Looking top down, you see the two forward hatches and how the tank's armour flattens if you are firing at them, on a level plane. Yes you are shotting for a 50% chance to pen but its better than a 0% change.
it is possible to penetrate badger from front if u get lucky and shot will bounce from gun mantle under gun ... it's also best place to shoot with he ammo... so basicly it's only weakspot from front... it also option to shoot with he ammo wall next to tank .. damage will be higher than with shooting at tank ... works well on td's... but gold ammo need to cost more ... at least 2 times
This kind of feels like it might be rigged tbh. Notice that stressu stopped shooting once the other Badger had low enough HP that he could have potentially killed him with a high roll or fire. Plus the other Badger having no HE, both of them just sitting there... just feels suspicious.
Neither of them had missions needing dmg blocked. Stressu had a dmg mission. So no rigging, unless it was to get the highest dmg blocked of the year for memes, which is highly unlikely
I used to absolutely love this game, i was buying premiums when i could afford it and it was my favorite game. But the HE changes just destroyed it for me. I still play from time to time, but its not what it used to be. I really miss it. It ruined so many vehicles, so much fun... And arty too, it was totally ok, just set max of 2-3 pieces per team and its chill. Now its all about OP hull-down bullcraps.
I don't think WG would've nerfed the SPG's if the content providers weren't complaining about them so much! WG doesn't listen to the players much, but they listen to the CP's!
This isn't anything to do with this video but I wonder how Quickbaby and other gamers feel about the Object 780 being obtainable for the console version by simply completing the battle pass.

did you talk to the other guy and just asked, why?. ?

it hurts my eyes when seeing this replay :)
And this is why the HE nerf was literally the BIGGEST BUFF TO EVERY SINGLE HEAVILY ARMORED TANK/TD IN THE GAME.
It seems reasonable to assume the two badgers were working together to get the highest damage record.
I'm not sure what was going on here exactly, but to be fair, in my beginner days I used to firmly believe that when a round fails to penetrate, it still weakens the armor at the point of impact... so I thought maybe if I shoot at the same place enough, the round will eventually penetrate 😅 which it sometime did, but only through RNG, as I found out a bit later.

My highest dmg blocked was 15,6 k with AT 8 on Prokhorovka.
It was so ridiculous. It is also uploaded on WOTreplays if sb is interested.
plot twist: they were friends and didn’t feel like doing the math to find out the damage potential of the badger so they did this instead
my highest damage blocked is 11.3k in the IS-7
Great commentary
You make every second worth watching
This is probably the most comedic game of world of tanks
I love how QB is getting honey badgers and Daniel Ricciardo mixed up
When ever I take my badger out for a spin I usually find myself blocking 0 damage... The lower plate works extremely well as a shell magnet. :(
You can't tell me, that the enemy badger is a real person with an actual job, responsibility, possibly kids..... And we live with these people, that makes me sad.
Maybe it was a 6 year old sitting on dad's lap...
Enemy Badger : By shooting again and again, I might end up penetrating a shot. So the more I bounce, the more I have a chance to pen !
WoT needs a armor fatigue mechanic. If you hit the same spot again you are more likely to penetrate.
Nah
Nope
Yes
i think it can happen when 2 or more players hit a tank in the same place and at the same time and then it is enough that only one of them has the necessary penetration for damage and both hits will actually count (even if the other had not penetrated the same way). 🤔 or maybe this is a bug, because 70 times in 23k battles I think it happened to me along the game from 2013 till 2019

WG should add armour fatigue. After so many rounds your armour starts to be less effective.
gun fatigue...less accurate, engine fatigue for pushing other tanks ...etc .. too much
