World of Tanks is a Free 2 Play online game published by Wargaming and is available as a free download.
Imagine having that skin on the already awesome Kranvagn, not on some pieces of half-mutated junk. That will be the thing i would like to buy
Any staff of WG here? We have someone who offers a way to milk a little more money here!!
I mean I'd buy this *and* that as a Kranvagn skin, you bet all the marbles I would.
@@Handles-Suck-UA-cam there are more realistic games and better games than this trash
They could make tons of money selling skins but they are too idiot by this point to figure out or bother with that. Better to unload OP vehicles or do stupid updates.
I would easily buy this skin for the Kranvagn.
The STRV K is a trojan horse, I highly recommend people not to grind for it.
The only reason they introduced this underpowered tank is so that people are less critical of tier IX premium tanks, just wait few months and we will have tier IX premiums that are far much better than this one.
The issue are players buying it, if everyone only gets it for free WG will have to reconsider adding tier 9s into the game.
The way for a gamer to speak is with their wallets, if people buy the STRV K then WG will see this as a sign that players do want tier 9 premiums in the game and will introduce more. If people only grind it out for free but don't buy it then WG will reconsider their tier 9 premium plans.
@@neoduke007 Sadly the same players that complain about them will be the ones buying them the most. It's like Stockholm or something.
exactly, the best part is that those tanks are already in the game files. check the obj752, it's another fucking broken russian heavy with defender armor and a fucking autoloader
The tier 9 gold tanks that you want will be real money only tanks.
After seeing this video, I'm not even consider starting grinding for it
Still wondering what's in QB's "cool stuff" browser folder
Pictures of beards he aspires to grow?
@Retro_Afterglow I would totally do that but I’m broke (not really just not “comfortable” spending money on twitch (even though it’s 100% safe and QB does deserve money for his job))
Thats where he keeps the good shit obviously
I will be playing wot pc for the first time after playing wotb and wot console any tips on the best tank lines for new players
@@infinite6460 for console. i honestly haven't played much but i do know the Progetto med line and strv tank destroyer line are decent. the "machine" is one of the op tanks to get and may enjoy being annoying fly
I wonder when will we get a Kranvagn turret mounted on the hull of a Maus as a tier X premium lmao
WT- E100 premium
@@claytonwhitman1608 with 183 mm auto loader
about 18 months
When the game starts losing players rapidly they will try something like that as a last attempt at cash grab.
@@narukami597 they sell pixels so they dont lose anything
Christmass 2021: first tier 9 premium auto(re)loader in lootboxes
Its already in supertest. OBJECT 590.
Yep guess what will b in loot boxes tier 9 prems ....almost certainly
@@TigressOrchid i wished you had been joking on that
Actually wanted this thing for the crew training... didn’t think about the layout it’d have and now it makes me want it even less.
There will be tier 8 premium swedish heavy called tornvagn. 400 aplha gun with very high penetration.
Logically this should be 4 crew. But since it's being tied to Sabaton, they need 5 crew to fit all 5 guys in the tank.
@@RedXlV Crew 2.0 will solve those issues
@@stivenstivensson4542 But unless Wargaming fixes a lot of things, Crew 2.0 will cause even worse issues in return.
This was the ethos of WG premium tanks at the start, they was supposed to be weaker than the tech tree tanks, but receive more credits and exp, so for the first time in a long time, this tank is how it should be. Unfortunately I believe WG have done this because they need to start low, so each and every future T9 premium will have to be a tiny bit better than the previous tank.
idk the wz114 is probably way worse than this thing lmfao
And so the fall to becoming just like WoWs begins.
I was there 3000 years ago, when the Missouri was released, and the strength of men failed.
Especially how they are pushing crew 2.0 in our faces, to sell those 80 point commanders
In fairness, i haven't paid a penny for any of my tier 9 prems in WOWS.
@@amarg.247 they actually delayed 2.0 atleast until 2022... its not much knowing that they'll force it at somepoint
You're 5 years late and WoTs fell 1st.
Community: "Wargaming, please stop pushing out all those tier 8 premiums! We have enough of those!"
Wargaming: "Roger that! Here you go!" *tier 9 moneygrabbing intensifies
Community: -.-
specially as the "New" frontline is in i fell like this is just put in a game to be used to grind credits in frontline. As if they are trying to create a problem (no t9 money grinders, reward tanks can't be sold i gues) and then sell as a "solution". i'm mean it wasperfectly timed
so true lol
This shit happened in WoWs too. We asked to stop putting tier 10s in random bundles during early access. They did stop doing that this time, but instead they put it in an auction.
For doubloons. Which you buy with real money.
Hey QB,
Loved the second game more. Welcome to the regular player's experience. Where you show one part and all enemies kill you together
Thanks for the review of this tank, now i can focus on other games rather than grinding my ass in the next 10 days
It's actually performing really well, he just went negative
I like how the tank looks.
Edit: almost done watching the video and wow that tank sucks, it's a crippled tier 9 with "stock" modules if you look at it that way
WG: But it look cool hein? 👉👉
Thing is, this is how all premiums were at tier 8 (they were more like tier 7.5) they weren’t great Tanks but made more credits. Which is how it should be
After few years, they gonna put that to bond store since it will be power creep cause we'll be seeing high alpha, fast moving, auto loading tier 9 tanks that are better than tech tree tanks
It was cr*p with his setup....imagine playing this as an "average joe" without all that bond gear......
yeah, i aint grinding for this shit. Started another referral account instead to get me a sta-2.
For those wondering, this tank is definitely a support heavy. It is also being released as such that, if they release the Lorraine 50T, the tank would become obselete or comparable in some regard.
The Lorraine 50T is everything that this tank is but better, except in the gun department. It has a 12 second reload with .37 accuracy. however it can get to speeds of 50km/h easily with 19 HP/T and has a much better turret than the K.
so just keep that in mind, this tank is supposed to grab attention, and hook you in with its uniqueness. This tank will be overshadowed by the Lorr 50T in the future, so if your interested in getting one of these, wait. unless you absolutely want this thing.
I live how qb says a lot of things are dissappointing when he is talking about a tier IX premium
Edit: WG is making this tank underpowered to be able to sell us more powerfull tanks in the future like they did with tier VIII. And im not saying that i dont understand why they are doing this but it still hurts to event see tier IX premiums
They arent making the tank underpowered on purpose, they're just bringing an underpowered tank from WoT console. Funnily enough they just buffed Strv K on console by its dpm and its movement/rotation dispersion values from 0.28>0.22 which is still horrific.
So dont expect this tank to do much on the battlefield, but this might prepare grounds for new t9 prems.
Me as well when played this tank for the first time i was disappointed in this weak tank. I thought it would have dpm but it has nothing special.
Honestly, tier 9 premium tanks will balance out the MM a little. I’m almost looking forward to playing my tier X now.
Like they did with the new gen premiums, that are just plain better than the techtree counterparts. The pz58 mutz was the first to be a better indien pz, but it wasn't that impressive.
This is just the natural progression of power creep.
Just like how the OG top tier tanks got shuffled about/ replaced.
A Tomato with a credit card will always be a tomato, even if they grind/free XP to tier 9, similarly a Unicorn 🦄 will garage you even if they were driving a cardboard box with a pea shooter on it.
Anyone who plays long enough can get the 279e so in the end it's all academic, You can buy a t8 for credits or buy a t9 if you want a trickle of bonds, better that than battle pass.
It's the "Salami Tactic"
"Wargambling needs a new cashcow to make up for lost revenue from World of Warships."
I understand where you are coming from with that, but that's just salt, mate. This had to be in the pipelines for months at least, if not more. The World of Warship fiasco is very fresh. There is no connection
@@Tikuros no the current fiasco is just finally all the shit and WeeGee disrespect finally exploding. it has been inevitable for 18 months or so now
Whats World of Warships?? See what I did there.
@@grandadmiralraeder9608 Sorry I seemed to miss it, what happend with World of Warships?
more than anything about the tank, I would point to the battle score: after 2 minutes battle is already decided and over all bar shouting: 6-1 and 6k+ hp difference between teams
12:20 that is the real problem with game right now
I mentioned that on several of QBs last videos, but you beat me to it here. It's all well and good him cherry-picking games, but let's face it, that's how most games are nowadays. 15-1 steamroll for one side or the other.
The problem with the game is that 40%ers and bellow arent being controlled, which leads to random matchmaking pairing mentally handicapped people with 50%ers and up
@@youlaughyouphill842 ay dont be offensive
@@youlaughyouphill842 Yes I agree MM should take winrate into account but dont use mentally handicapped as a slur
@@grandadmiralraeder9608 oh no, i called a dumb person dumb in the internet
I honestly wonder how the community as a whole feels about the fact teir 9 premium tanks are now a thing
I would say more but proppably people will do it for me - they werent needed
Console has had Tier 10 premium tanks for a while. So in that aspect they are ahead of PC.
Dont worry, WoT players will care no more than WoWs players did and now that game is fucked lol
I couldn’t care this tank sucks anyway
I don't mind it if all of them are worse than the tech tree versions like this
Im a Sabaton fan, not a huge fan but i really enjoy their music. Its got a good history to it and i love that you can learn history by listening to music. I wish wargaming would add this to Blitz.
It's surprising that they didn't already... probably coming soon.
oh they will- IN A FUCKING LOOTBOX
And by history, you mean military history?
@@argh1989 (yes
STRV K is coming in less than a month into blitz. Stats are the wot PC strv but at tier 10 with 3.5k dpm and 40 less alpha damage.
The Strv K was a plan to mount a Centurion Mk 10 turret to one of the two Kranvagn hulls built to test future concepts of Swedish MBT's.
So it's a Tier 8 premium with disadventageous (as opposed to preferential) matchmaking, that can earn bonds.
13:18
Oh, silly qb, you need gold ammo to go through weakspots
"Weak"spots
21:52 that's how the Rinoceronte feels without autoreloader
Is bad: yes
It opened the door: also yes.
More to come.
I see that WG is trying to milk more of this game to "offset" the recent failure to do so in World of Warships due to "aggressive marketing".
It's all about making tier 9 premiums a new normal. This tank needs to be bad to limit the discontent from the community.
its the kv5 of t9 just wait from the power creep. uninstalled
@@Friendly-Unit see you next week :)
@@TescoRoadman haha, no. You do you if you are happy with wg
Hello QuickyBaby, thank you for your awesome reviews! I do like your enthusiastic style of reporting the *kindly spoken* confusing or strange behavior of wargaming to intruduce new vehicles and contents... Although I stopped playing *and spending money* WoT several years ago, I always enjoy seeing people like you that try to take this game seriously :-) Please continue that way. Greetings from Germany.
One thing about World of Tanks is that every armor value is strictly accurate to the real-life versions as far as I know, as well as things like the number of shells you can have.
@Frump Beard apart from the hundreds of WoT tanks that WeeGee pulled out their asshole. Like Obj, 277 or obj 907 niehter of those designation was ever used by the soviets for a tank project. Obj. 279 was quite different irl ( the prototype stll exists check out War Thunder for an accurate version) and The 705a- Well that project DID exist (cancelled 1949) but in game: the GUN DIDNT EXIST UNTIL 1977 AND THE ENGINE DIDNT EXIST UNTIL 1982!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This used to be true about 6-7 years ago.
wg's always been good at aesthetic scenarios but this tank is absolute bs
My layout for Strv. K is similar except one: I put the turbo charger instead of enhanced airconditioning. It really made the tank more of a medium type. And since there was introduction of two layouts, I put improved cast, gun rammer and improved sight to make it clearly heavy. Works both ways. Strv. K is not magnificient, but I would say it's still solid and it is fun to play. Of course I'm also Sabaton fan, so it clearly matters to me more and the whole tank is Sabaton merchandise. It is meant to be that way.
Everyone I have watched reviews of this tank has vomited on it by the characteristics of the tank, but let me remind you that it is YOU who fits tank's playstyle, NOT TANK that fits your playstyle. It is solid tank. That pit in Fjords is actually pretty good spot from starting north base, but QuickyBaby, did you remember to tell everyone else that "hey, I'm going there, could I pls get help?"
It's so obvious WG have released this tank in a tragic state on purpose just so they can release better tanks later. For shame.
No. WG is evilly so got dam clever and manipulative. It is shocking how good they are at this! We are talking about it being a tier 10 hull mounted to a tier 9 turret and gun. Yet the stats of the tank is basically a tier 8 premium! If this tank was sold as a tier 8 tank no one but Sabaton fans had cared. But since it is a tier 9 made out of tier 9-10 components they are selling it as a shit tier 9. Even now it is balanced like a OP tier 8 Premium.
Only WG can manage to be lazy and still pull of a feat like this. Tricking us to look at it like a tier 9-10 even now stat wise only thing that is tier 9 like is the pen and look of tier 10. Any premium 8 worth spending money on outclass Strv K. But Strv K is OP at tier 8 but due to power creep Strv K is basically a decent tier 8 prem sold as a tier 9!
Compare Strv K and Centurion Mk. 7/1. There is nearly not a SINGLE stat on Strv K that is better then 7/1. Everything is worse on Strv K! Same tier!
And Centurion Mk. 7/1 is considered being mediocre and pointless in todays WoT. Even now it got better mobility and higher DPM,PEN and has HESH rounds with 120mm pen! Find a single thing 7/1 do worse then Strv K! You are not going to find any! But they are the same tier and 7/1 is considered a bad tier 9!
Strv K can be turned into a tier 8 tank tomorrow and only problem is that WG has sold it as the "first" tier 9 premium and are going to get sued hell and back doing that! But really your buying a tier 8 that get tier 9 MM.
But why no one is saying it is due to taking the hull of the tier 10 heavy and placing a nerft 7/1 gun and it's turret ontop of the tier 10 hull! It is so stupidly brilliant and lazy that I can only tip my hat. They where able to decide if they where going to sell it as a tier 8 or tier 9 hours before making the marketing push without changing a single stat on the tank! Only that trying to sell it as a tier 8 might look strange since the hull and turret is from higher tiers! But selling it as tier 9 they make money AND make sure new tier 9 premiums can be sold later without a backlash! Now we are going to have tier 9.5's in the game!
That is why Strv K feels like tier 8.5 Skill. It basically is a tier 8 premium tank from post Defender/Chrysler K days!
Hmm, not sure it Stalin has possessed me but it's at least good to see thins tank be not overpowered.
But indeed it may be a ploy, since this will be most likely successful it opens the floodgates to overpowered Tier 9 prems coming in since most will tolerate the STRV K.
over powered? most premium tanks suck. but you can move crew through them to train, and have a credit buff which is needed cause most suck. they do put a great one out every now and then. it keeps people buying them.
Excellent review vid. Like how you lay it all out and don't pull any punches. Hate the power creep! Having played since the first days after beta, I hate how they have nullified some of my favorite old tanks with the new and better. Don't think I'll be giving them my money for the second straight time with a marathon tank. I'll still play for the fun, but I won't kill myself trying to get to level 6 or 7. Just take whatever prizes they have for 4 or 5 levels over the week and call it good. I'll wait to see what they drop on us at the holidays. Maybe the STRV K will show up in the loot boxes.
When I saw the stats on this I was thinking this is just a tier 8... and it is. It would work well at tier 8 because that’s what it is.
We've had tier 10 premiums in console for a while now. Hope your ready.....
Last time I checked they don't make any extra money.
@@EAC197 Strv K as well as WZ-111QULIN came from Console tho
@@crusher849 Tier 10 prems make 5% more xp i believe.
Tier 9 prems however makes about 30% credits. I know this bcuz i have Concept 1B, Obj 777 v2 and Strv K on console(all 3 counts as prems).
@@Hagurmert I like that wz111 a lot. I wish it was on blitz
I'm actually kind of glad that it's an under performer. I think if you're going to have a tank at tier 9 that can grind bonds, it should be more of a challenge.
wonder when tier 10 premiums are coming if WG survives long enough
I have two
@@cuculan1978 Was gonna say I already have one, and I have almost no premiums.
excluding M60 and tanks now for bonds collector tanks, etc
@@arcturus960 if M60 was a premium... 🤩🤩🤩 I would be trillionaire. Absolutely love that tank eventhough Im ani average player, it's so much fun playing and it is actually a very good one
In a few years. You can buy the wtf e100 on the chinese server for instance
I would love to own the tank since I'm a Sabaton fan, but man is that challenge impossible to complete. I would have to give up all of my other activities in a day just to come close to completing it in those 10 days
Now imagine the other way round, a Centurion 7/1 with Kranvagn turret...
Feel like they took like the worst of both tanks to make this fantasy.
be happy that they didnt do it... A shitty tank wont ruin the game!
"Strv K doesnt have good turret"
Me- laughs in Sweden and bounces 6k damage
lol this tank is like the t34 of tier 9
I thought the same thing.
At first when I found out about tier 9 premiums I was mad, but as long as they are balanced as this tank and as long as they earn roughly same credits as tier 8 premiums, I am fine with it.
The first one is balanced then the fun starts ☺️
Glad i watched this, thought it was a medium. Tank looks quite bad and not to my playstyle at all, i'll wait for the next t9 prem
Same gonna play my 279e all week farming strv K.
This thing doesn't have a playstyle. You just load in and get busted. Alternatively, you can redline snipe which is also not a playstyle...
100% there will be tier 9 premium progetto, Skorp, defender. you know the hits of the tier 8.
Can’t wait for the tier 9 premium double barrel medium tank
Meanwhile wows players :first time
100% sure t9 premium tanks, IN THE FUTURE, will have their credit earning ability increased (as in better credit earners than tier 8 premiums). They don't do it yet 'cause they don't wanna make their customers that bought tier 8 premiums angry.
I think it's just a big announcement for that every *secret tanks* at tier 9 AND tier 10 - for example at tier 9 - Lorr. 50t, Obj. 752, WZ-120G FT, Cobra and UDES 03 Alt 3, and some of tier 10 - 114 SP2, Chieftain Mk. 6, Obj. 252 (PA), Obj. 268 V.5 - all of it could (and I am sure it will) become a new tier 9 and 10 PREMIUM tanks. This Strv K it's just an a foretaste - a very hint of bitterness. Anyway good video and thank you for revealing it's economical characteristics.
Really, to me at least, the ONLY thing this tank has going for it is the Sabaton crew. But that is only if you are a Sabaton fan.
Having said that, even as a Sabaton fan, I will not be spending the $50-$100 for this vehicle.
I got it and so far its been fun to play.
Well, at least they didnt put a 705 turret on a Mauschen hull? 😂
Rip gun depression 🤣
WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!
Thanks QB you just saved me 40+ quid as I would have probably reached 3-4 by the end of the 10 days so this tanks stats are just not worth it especially with the lack of teamwork i have seen lately.
"This Tier 10 Hull is the worst Tier 9 Hull"
🤨
Well no one plays the Kran for its hull.
@@Panzergraf meaning by definition there is an equal or worse tier 9 heavy tank hull.
the hull is good with gun depression (kranagn and emil 2 has 12 degrees instead of this tanks 10 degrees
Emil 2 has worse hull than kran
@@arandomperson7591 yes but the armor value isn´t the thing to look at. It´s the auto ricochetangle when using gun depression
This kind of feels like the old Tier 8 premiums. The tanks that were more a tier 7.5. this is more of a tier 8.5
Sabaton fans rise! QB keeps thinking there is not many of us.
And then the Winged Hussars arrived!
If they change the role from HT to MT and buff the speed or just buff the armor, it would be better..
We don't need another MT of this kind.
I'm very glad the tank is not your next disaster in the OP direction because then there's no way going back.
Imagine playing a Comet and running into a Tier IX Premium Emil II* which has a five round magazine doing 390 damage a shot in 10 seconds with a 24 second intraclip reload. Even if (as is increasingly common) the Emil II* is being driven by a numpty with 432 battles and a 41% winrate you'll have no chance. Also, this is a massive nerf to Tier VIII premiums, because now there is going to be Tier IX ones better in every way so ha! Sux to be you if you have 30+ Tier VIII premiums. My advice is get out now, before you pay out hundreds/thousands of $$$ for tier IX Premiums and the loot boxes and then the Tier X premiums come along to rinse and repeat. How does it go? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
2 videos in one day... What a pleasure
just another reskin of the Centurion..
With even worse dpm than the worse version in tier 8 and worse hull than the worse tier 7 Centurion
I am sure that many players are looking forward to welcoming complete new players in their newly acquired Tier 9 HT.. (one of my biggest frustrations in the game, complete new players in a premium tier 8)
I blame the *^%$*()% who are ruining WoWs for the creation of the first tier 9 premium tank.
After getting this tank. (I didn't get it for free sadly. Too busy with work) I kind of like this tank. It might not be the best I have played so far, but it least me earn bonds while also earning me a credit profit. It is one of the reasons I don't play my only tier X tank that often. I lose credits with each play through because I am really not that good at this game.
Yeah, I'm definitely not coming back to World of Tanks. This game is becoming even more bollocks than I could ever imagine
Whats the point of watching wot videos and then commenting just to hate on the game when you don't even play it anymore. We get it you quit the game, move on and play something else. It feels like every comment on every wot youtuber is just middle aged men saying "I'm glad I quit" or "I'm not coming back to this game I just watch you because I like you as a youtuber"
I understand the feeling, but this tank really doesn't hurt the game in any way shape or form. Sure it creates a dangerous precedent, but for now, the game is fine
Git gud
@@detroitsucks5222 I'm not watching for the game, I'm watching for the QB because I still like him
@@lucanicolasstefan4788 It's a tier 9 premium, how it doesn't hurt the game? Sure let's let some random people with loads of money access high tier just after they started a game, great idea. More "typical Lowe players" but on even higher tier
As a World Of Tanks Blitz Player, I’m just baffled at the PC’s side opinions about the first 9 Premium meanwhile We already had a Tier 9 Premium which is MBT-70 (German HT) for already more than 3 Years
WG: "Let's release a new premium tank, and it's gonna be a tier 9 tank"
Everyone: "omg the game is going to be broken, screw the economy etc etc"
WG: *releases the tank*
Everyone: "omg this tank is trash why am I paying WG this money money for this trash tank"
That’s the worst thing, man. People will bitch about it if it’s good, bad, or the same. It’s so tiring
Wow I love Sabaton. To this day the Primo Victoria is the only premium vehicle I have ever paid for.
World of Warships has had Tier 9 Premiums for years. Its amazing how with a company like WG people are surprised by this at all.
I think they are gonna add a twin brother to this tank in an upcoming patch, fast centurion hull, kranvagn turret & gun. 2 ginormous capolas, for balance ofcourse.
we started with lowe , kv-5 and is-6 and now we got these op tier 8s we will get op tier 9 prems and time will tell
Have latest mission marathon tanks even been worth getting after Bourrasque? STRV K is what it is because it's free.
Where is the Strv K free?
@@VernichtungsFussel Sorry, I'm the stupid one, hence I don't understand the question.
Great video. I suppose it was going to happen at some point, tier 8 can only have so many tanks! Upside is that it buffs tier 6 as most of the top players will move to tier 9 for their credit grinds. Downside is it does nerf the value of all tier 8 premiums. I'm abstaining from the current marathon as I don't like the vehicle stats but will pursue future ones more to my play style (fast damage dealing tanks with low armor). The bond value is huge, probably the greatest value to the tank next to the +1MM values.
A brother in arms crew that will become instructors when they finally force crew 2.0 on us
I had success this morning playing the vision game and drawing people into a zone. The vision game not too unlike some people play your beloved M48.
They shoulda made the primo Victoria a tier 9 as the one in the actual music video was a centurion with a 105
Here's a suggestion to WG for their next Tier IX Premium - grab an Object 257's hull and slap a T-54 turret on top of it with one of the 100mm guns the Medium wields, but give it an extra -2 degrees of gun depression. I'm sure nobody would mind and it would sell like a hot cake :D
Can't wait to get this at the black market one day...
Imagine that guy with less than 1000 battles in total, buying this, and having him as team mate... yeah
... bet he would not play it much after the first 20 losses
@@diatonicdelirium1743 im not sure, i have seen people that owns progettos and defenders having 40% wr on those tanks and still playing them, they can not tell the difference between a defender and is-6, they just roll get 1-2 shots and next tank
I can see a T9 premium being included in the Christmas loot boxes this year. No doubt with better stats than this thing. I hope its a Cent as well. Ive only got 5 versions of it.......
I was also hoping this thing would throw out HESH as well.
I have an EU account, & did the marathon to 50%. I bought the tank minus the skin, because I have the EMIL II but not the Kranvagn, so I can put the crew in the tier X when I get it. If I was in the top 5 by experience I got 5 bonds, 6 thru 10 I got 3 bonds, & 11 thru 15 I got 0 bonds.
I also have an account on NA, where I have all the Swedish tanks, so I did not bother with the marathon, nor this tank.
16:45 Yes! We will have Kranwagen turet mounted on Super Conqueror hull!!! :-)
just finished the grind for it, it has good accuracy though, I'll probably end up playing it like a t34 heavy or tiger I, hull down mid to long range support
The first tier 8 premium was the mutant, and this one is also a mutant.
Dude... dont give me ideas... now i want to collect mutants.
The only feedback WG will get from this is the part where you said it is lackluster and is competing with Tier 8 autoloaders.
They'll probably use community feedback to say "See? We tried to make balanced tier 9 premiums, but people complained, so we're going to make them stronger because you wanted this".
For me this tank is a totally valid addition to the game, i never liked the old change of premiums creeping up to be either equal but more often than not stronger than the same tier counterparts, it was not healthy for gameplay imho. (i guess im just a grumpy old lad)
The only good thing about that change were that wargaming was earning more $ on it wich leads to more personnel, more resources to develop the game and more content over time.
if it was tier 8 yes i would agree but its WeeGee normalising tier9 prems
thanks for the info Quickie very informative. I'm not going to waste my time or spend money to get this tank
Cent 7/1 was buffed a while ago in terms of max speed, Before buffing that snail of a tank was barely going 40kph, like this one now....
Why isn't WG selling upgrades for tech tree tanks that increase the credits gain to that of a premium tank. Drive your favourite tank and earn shit tons of credits with it.
They do, kind of anyway. Personal Reserves. If it can make them money, they likely have thought of it.
I bought this for the sole fact of Sabaton, with them being my favorite band and all. If it wasn't Sabaton, absolutely wouldn't have bought it. I do enjoy playing it, with the unique voice acting, the music, the design, and even when things go to shit, as they do with it, I still have fun for the above mentioned reasons. But ya know, I completely understand why people absolutely are not a fan of this, (in fact I've had some rather lovely people say some rather lovely things about me in the team chat for using it) and what it means for the future
It doesn't matter if the credit making is not as good as yirt 8 prems. As long as you don't lose credits while gaining bonds, that's a definite advantage. Just wait for a few months to get OP tier 9 prem tanks. :P
I suspect we will see another tier 9 premium tank for the holiday season loot boxes....
You need to mention the bonds is capped at 100 per week. If people buy this expecting to farm bonds for days, well its just not going to happen.
Hello, imagine what the 2021 Christmas boxes be like.
I wonder if they will ever buff this vehicle later on or if they will never touch it again.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement. I'm not going to bother with this thing. I have a 7/1 already and fancy paint-jobs don't do or block damage. Thanks for the review, Quickybaby. Very helpful.
Anyone else remember when premium tanks were supposed to be about between the power and efficacy of a stock and fully upgraded tank? Pepperidge farm remembers
Yea member, before WG flooded the game with autoloaders and 10+ depression guns.
The look reminds me of the Annihilator, and contrary to the popular opinion, I love both designs.
Love your tank reviews QB, it actually saves me money lol, I thought about getting this tank but as always I don't get anything until I watch your review, really appreciate your work! And this is probably one of the worst tanks they have come up with.
To be honest, this is the second review I've watched on this tank after going through the stats. This is a no go for me for several reasons. First, the tank sucks, it will be hard pressed to compete in a tier 9 game, let alone tier 10 for the average player (i.e. me). Second, this is the gateway drug for tier 9 premium tanks. As a casual player with 11 years in the game, I have amassed over 50 tier 8 premium tanks. Of these, I probably only use 10 regularly. I've still got my first, the T26E4, but it is overmatched for the most part these days. Why do I want to go down this road again? The answer is that I don't. Until Wargaming addresses the problems in the game (match maker, number of arty and wheelies in a battle, etc.), then I'm not purchasing more tanks that are lackluster at best. A good video and thanks for the information.
As long as they introduce teir 11 and 12 tanks soon which only see teir 10s then I have no problem with teir 9 premiums
as a World of Tanks Blitz player, don't be suprised at tier 9 premiums.
There are many more....
Kmpz70 being brokenly overpowered
@@jacobprittie2010 wdym it has a garbage hull
To be honest - this tank feels more like it should been a battlepass reward rather than a premium tank.
They might have made it bad so you'll buy the next ones but if they keep the tier nine premiums weak, combat wise, is that not a good thing? Reminds me of KV-5 in that aspect, you're glad that you're makin a fat profit and enemies are glad as they can make a profit dismantling you. We'll see what the future holds
I do not want this lacklustre P-tank, but I guess new OP tire IX premium tanks will come down the line. This is just the first iteration.
I think the balance of this tank is perfect. This is how all premiums should be imo. Makes more credits but pretty mediocre, however you can still make use of it. Like the Bisonte
Thats how the original premium tanks were designed: Better than a stock tank, inferior to fully researched tanks. It makes you better credits and WG some money. They didnt ruin everyone elses matches and you generally had almost every single game at max 3-5 premium tanks per match instead of 80%+ premium-fast-auto(re)loader-high-concealment-magical-armor-tanks per match nowadays. People didnt even mind them because they blended in the game perfectly.
