The ARMT on the Lesta sever is a tier 7 light instead of a tier 5 medium. They gave it a 21 round magazine, so its able to theoretically clip out most tier 10s. Idk it its accessible or not atm, but it would be neat to see some gameplay of it if it is.
In real life, the turret was meant to be an automatic rocket launcher with a firerate of ~240 rockets per minute firing in quick 10 round bursts. It pains me to say this, but Lesta's ARMT is closer to reality than the WG's is...
It will be the first tank from the Campaign 3.0. The second tank will be tier 9 heavy flamethrower. Third tank is tier 10 french tank. 4th tank is secret tier 11 with two guns. The Tasks for tier 11 are muuuch harder than 279 or 260 tasks and only like less than 0,1% players will be able to do it. The campaign starts in 2-3 weeks I think.
Quite sure nobody will have it on open test, but in a month surely there will be some gameplay, as i've seen the supertesters do average 1,5k+ damage on it so its either gendarme on tier 7 or they're quite skilled (not) to make that clip in use
My colleague is a supertester, and he says this light tank is an absolute beast, even against tier 9, let alone tier 8. He eliminated 2 full hp burrassques with his mag while they were approaching him. We talked a bit about it, and in a way it reminds of the tier 7 bulldog before it was nerfed, but still the mag is way tougher. Speaking of the reward 11 tier vehicle, this one will be very hard to get our hands on, because the tasks are insane, even for nerds.
A tank that trades mobility for actual armor with fair weakspots, its strength defeated immediately by simply loading premium ammo. I miss the days you'd see gold spam in CW only.
Is3 A isn't called NC M3, it's called ИС (и= I and C = S) c (with) мз as in MZ, which means autoloader (mechanism zarezanya / механизм заряжания). з = z in Russian The IS 3 armor is pretty damn good for reverse sidescrapeing
@dynamicgameplay1825 not really, its just the game is like that nowadays, they yolo when they can't pen. Also they usually still won't do it if there's allies behind you
Видел многие говорят про якобы Токсичные танки из-за которых невозможно играть... На самом деле, я, как игрок на Лесте, могу сказать что новая техника не мешает играть, мы абсолютно так же играем на старых танках и не видим в этом проблемы. Так же многие говорили про p2w систему в игре, то есть закинь деньги в игру на новогодние контейнеры и получи классные танки, но на них не обязательно тратить деньги, с новогоднего событи я получил 2 новогодних контейнера, а так же с бесплатного автомата примерно 5500золота(И купил на всë это золото контейнеры, лол) и в итоге выбил несколько хороших танков(Не потратив денег), так как шанс на танк реально очень большой. Мне серьезно нравится что делает Леста, это как будто глоток свежего воздуха, что-то новое и приятное, что не даëт умереть игре P.s. Yes, im Russian bot)))
Chems: "Italian auto-reloaders are kinda junk", oh finally some one says the truth, not just "they are hard to play" or "need to be very skilled to play them", thx.
18:07 seriously, they cap out instead of farming damage and then complain that they can't do a lot of damage (so anything above 1k) and proceed to blame it on pay to win or something, then leave paragraphs under replay videos of how autoloaders are all broken and now they will quit the game after X years
Eh, it's really not that bad. Just gotta get good and farm before they cap:) Jokes aside, while it happens, I don't notice it too many times (I play eu, maybe I'm just lucky)
you all need to stop being sheep, you should cap if you obviously will lose if you don't and don't cap if you don't need to. Being so adverse to people capping is aids.
My thoughts exactly on the +1/-1 for heavy tanks. Glad to hear someone else say it, because the people I usually play tanks with think I'm a nutjob for thinking it.
Do you have any idea how unbalanced those are? We have enough of those already, don't we? Why would we need a flamethrower or a Gendarme? It's riddiculous
I'm glad to see another KV-4 variant coming in, I do actually hope they add the non-autoloader version because that's more accurate to the original plan.
16:32 I think the answer are normalization of the shell and Strv 1 armor. AP, HEAT and APCR shells might ricochet if the angle of armor is 70 deegres and above (for APCR and AP) or 85 deegers (for HEAT), also loosing quater of thier penetration. However shells also have normalization, meaning they while impact they slightly reduce the angle of impact. This is normalization of shell, and each of them has different value, wich for APCR is 2 deegres. Now, Strv 1 has a small armor plate that increses not only its armor but also angle of armor.
One thing I feel from this gameplay is the Ru server games are more dynamic, less emphasis on chokepoints means the game progress faster. Believe me the longest time in the game is always the chokepoint where each sides not willing to push since there's already too many buildups (4-5 tanks) in single flank and nobody is willing or armored enough to initiate the push (and the initiator is usually the one getting punished for it)
You were aiming at the left side of Str S1, which is where the thicker armor bit is, AND you know well how random accuracy in WoT is I'm honestly baffled that you're surprised this could possibly happen lol
22:56 340 actually with the 122mm gun (IS-4 gun technically), the highest a tier 8 tank can get on gold ammo, even with the 100mm (T-54 accurate gun) it is 330 HEAT, pretty much the only redeeming feature of that tank
Ive noticed that all tanks based on the Caliban have names from characters in Shakespeares "The Tempest" Caliban and Gonsalo, and on the Lesta server, Prospero. That is very interesting to say the least. Video on Prospero Chems?
Hmmm.. Changing Bisonte into a reverse autoloader sounds like a very good idea. Also, why not give the tier X Rhino another grindable gun that is a reverse autoloader with the same stats to give people a reason to grind through, like the E-100 15cm gun.
Thanks for your content, chems. Great battles 👍 Except that in my perspective such battles (one level battles) are very rare nowadays, and when I start farming I get to tiers 9 and 10 more often and they obliterate my ts-5 and defender and whatnot. Btw, chems, what do you think of the big update coming up in 2 weeks on Lesta? Have you played on common test? There's a bunch of rebalanced tanks, new arty , tier 11 tanks.
Hey chems, i'm sure showing all these tanks from the russian server and talking about it has interested many of us into playing on it. Do you think you could make a video on what to do to get the essential texts in english, please? Would be really nice.
Is there any guide/tips on how to play on RU server ? Like is VPN required (only account creation or also playing?), how to get most translations in game, how to buy on the store (which payment means are accessible for a EU/US resident), etc...
Im guessing my comment got automodded for a link so ill remove that. Considering the shot on the S1. There are track links there that add an extra 15mm boosting the armour to 45mm. And if you look at the hybrid model you can see the space between and a little above said track links are ALSO 45mm. So you may not hit the track links but still hit the 45mm part. Visual missmatching actual armour is fun.
This tank is in Lesta World of Tanks Blitz too (blitz is mobile version and I start playing Lesta WoTB cuz its better than EU WoTB) and this tank have really crazy armor and crazy gun with regular clip
Are you gonna make a video about heavy tanks flamethrowers like Astron FL? I’ve fucked up and used all my free experience on wrong tanks at public test server
Armored Warfare had such auto-reloaders I think just before WG made italian tree. They were really nice to play and I have no idea why WG didn't make italian auto-reloaders like in AW. Probably because WoT can't be a fun game to play.
16:00, yea but I think that the way that auto-reloader are imagined on HTs is: You just shot 1 shot and don't go deep into the clip and when you see the opportunity, you just clip them out from 1k HP to 0. Reason behind IS3A being such a stupid tank same as this is that you start with 1k HP advantage and then you have best possible DPM you can like you did on 20:00
Have you seen the big update on Lesta servers ? Like Tier 11 tanks, new campaign, flamethrower tech tree tanks, Sturm tech tree (big gun), all chat, etc. I swear, Idfk what wargaming is doing but they didn't even bother make anything new for the new year events, just copied last year. Meanwhile Lesta had a lot of changes this year.
I honestly think that reverse autoreloading should be reserved for italian TD's, like making them normal magazines but shorter reload im my opinion hurts the idea of the italian tech tree
its Lesta Games, a company that used to be a subcompany of WG and made WoWS but took WOT developing on WG license after Russian invasion, because WG went out of the market of RU and Belarus.
17:00 I don't know for certain but I would assume your APCR didn't over-match the STRV because APCR is a sub-caliber munition. The sabot is 107mm, but the actual projectile is typically much smaller. Now, the only WW2 era Soviet tank guns that had APCR shells to my knowledge were 57mm and 85mm, but the Soviets did after the war develop 100mm APCR shells, that used a 38mm penetrator. Assuming that general proportional would have been true of a hypothetical 107mm APCR shell, it would have had a
He hit the 45mm plate. Nothing to do with sub calibre. You can see this in the hybrid model on GG. Where he hit visually was the top edge of the top track link. That's 45mm plate and will ricochet full calibre 107.
I think the best buff they could give the panther 8.8 would be to give it this reverse Auto reloader, yeah because it's pretty much worthless in every other category
The more and more videos you make about these lesta prems, I think Circonflexes was so right when he said "Keep those crazy russian premium tanks on the russian server, we dont need them"
16:30 Your 107 bounced because on this specific spot the S1 has a piece of track on its front glacis which makes the effective thickness 45mm instead of 30mm. Happens.
would you rather: delete artillery or remove invis walls or always have good RNG or be the only person in NA/EU who owns a BZ-176, Skoda T-56 and XM-57
Reverse autoloader name doesnt make sense? This is just a autoloader with a changing reload time like with the pzh2000 If it were a reverse autoloader it would unload shells from the cannon or gives them back to the loader to put into the ammorack but i think that would also be just a autoloader
everything is just an autoloader, but they need to make them distinct in game for the purpose of clarity. it's reverse in relation to the regular autoreloader, which loads slowest with an empty clip
hey @chems how did you solve problem with paying in Russia. I cant use even Revolut acc. to pay. Suxs. I would like to try RU server. Edit: im peasant from EU.
I would argue with you, about why it might be a false feeling that RU server is better, but after a consideration I think you might have a point. EU/NA servers have a stagnant population, where big chunk of playerbase consists of maybe not good but experienced players, who just load gold when they do not have 100% chance to pen and are so lazy that they just want to sit on their precious possition where they can play hulldown till the end of the battle. RU player base is probably younger? Bigger chunk of unexperienced players, who do not care as much about their stats are more eager to try to pen you with standard ammunition, are more eager to try to flank even if in eyes of experienced player their decisions might be too dangerous to succed and that means more active gameplay, but at the same time not filled to the brim with gold ammo, because when you flank you do not need gold ammo and newer players need a lot of credits for new tanks, so they might want to not spam gold? Also I am also big fan of not capping if possible. Sad that on EU sometimes there is a group of players, who's only plan for battle is to cap asap.
This is not absolutely true because there are a lot of players who came to EU servers instead of RU (in Russia we had to choose where we wanted to stay, on RU or EU back in the days). So, basically, let's say the "population" on EU is like 70/30 or 60/40% of EU and RU players. However, the difference in gameplay is gotta be in mindset of people. Most of the players in this game (both WG and Lesta) something like blueprints in their mind. I mean absolutely most of the players (who play at like 46-55% win rate) think that heavies must go and fight in the town or smth like that, TDs must sit in the bushes till death, LTs must run around or sit in some bushes they sat since like 2015. But the real difference imo is that RU players may be bored of sitting in the same bush for 10 minutes straight (although sometimes they are not) or may be angry on you because they may think "Why the fuck this bastard pen'd me but i didn't??!" and they yolo on you without any thoughts behind. About the age of players base i think there is no that big of a difference since this game is mostly popular from people 30-40 years on RU because those guys are comfortable with that slow and steady gameplay where you can just stay and think of something else while still being in the middle of the battle. So i think the difference is that we in Russia are much more impulsive and a bit more of "action style" players. However, i say that without any experience playing on EU servers. Just my thoughts from watching some streamers that play there so i may be wrong
It is not only that. Where is the toxic platoons? Chems play with platoon mates. But where are all the Chems like stat girding players on RU servers? I get so often into matches consisting solely of broken p2w vehicles snowballing the match before it even began. And Chems is wrong about this tank being balanced. You get a sweaty nerd playing a auto-reverse loader in a match of tech tree tanks driven by tomatoes and bananas skilled players. Gets 8 kills and still do not see how the tank is definitely OP. IS-3A is OP. It is the tech tree tanks that decides balance. Not the p2w broken premiums. Funnily enough, it is Tiger P and maybe KV4 that has a honest chance to get 8 kill games due to decent armor and DPM. But if the enemy loads gold your right back into struggling. On the EU server you have pretty much a majority of the players running food and excellent crews. And at least all of the eq slots doing something. Having players running around 3 marking tanks, or platooing with mostly OP premiums. Then you have the Russian Skorp G whatever campers farming credits etc, etc, etc. Bourras etc, etc, etc. I found a random IS2-S using cammo net on EU servers... It is so rare that I have to point it out even. How many Russian players have no care to even equip vents? On the Russian server you have mostly solo players grinding tech tree. With far less sweaty pricks that fire nothing but gold, grinding W/R and all of the hulldown meta nonsense. How often on the Russian server do you get into a match where 25 of the 30 tanks are premium? How often do you get into 2vs2 platoon games where the platoon players are sweaty 240hz CS:GO fanatics that use everything to get the most damage and kills. A Chems. Or say a Quicklybaby, Skills, whatever? Running nothing but food and all p2w advantages.

My thoughts exactly on the +1/-1 for heavy tanks. Glad to hear someone else say it, because the people I usually play tanks with think I'm a nutjob for thinking it.
I have been thinking the same thing for a while now, the worst thing in this game is being a bottom tier heavy in +2 MM.
Last time I was this early, WoT console was still a good game
Idk what’s the point of looking at all these tanks we can’t have. It’s wild tho how much divergence there is between WG and what Lesta is doing
Do you have any idea how unbalanced those are? We have enough of those already, don't we? Why would we need a flamethrower or a Gendarme? It's riddiculous
chems is making content from the server he likes to play on so it makes sense
Because it's fun
@leo_funny587instead we get our asses railed with a new tier 8 premium with fuck all penetration.
Agree on +1 and -1 MM for heavies, being a bottom tier heavy in +2 is disgusting.
I'm glad to see another KV-4 variant coming in, I do actually hope they add the non-autoloader version because that's more accurate to the original plan.
Thank you Chems for another great video
Everytime i make dinner and im looking for something to watch you always upload a video
4:06 its actually pronounced is-3 s mz. is-3 with mz (mehanizmom zaryazhaniya). a complete translation: is-3 with autoreloader mechanism
So, Chems, the STRV ricoshet moment.. someone thought that there should be a piece of TRACK on the hull, so there's no 30mm, but 45 instead..
16:32 I think the answer are normalization of the shell and Strv 1 armor. AP, HEAT and APCR shells might ricochet if the angle of armor is 70 deegres and above (for APCR and AP) or 85 deegers (for HEAT), also loosing quater of thier penetration.

Caliban and Gonsalo, and on the Lesta server, Prospero. That is very interesting to say the least. Video on Prospero Chems?
Gave it a thumbs up before I even started playing the video. It was the right move!
There is no way chems has joined the occult
There is a track link on the STRV S1 that gives it 15mm more armor.
Same with all of the tech tree versions.
The space between and a little above also have the extra 15mm. As can be seen on the hybrid model.
4:10 just a short note: "c M3" /s mz/ - means "With autoloader"
Who would've thought that playing in a region where everyone is more "casual" would be more fun with any tanks hmmmmmm🤔🤔

Each new video of Lesta WoT just makes me want to create an account there tbh ... seems much more fun than Wargaming WoT.
Does Wargamming run this RU server of is it an offshoot??
its Lesta Games, a company that used to be a subcompany of WG and made WoWS but took WOT developing on WG license after Russian invasion, because WG went out of the market of RU and Belarus.
It’s not NC-3 it’s still IS-3, the reverse N is the equivalent of letter I in Russian

16:32, you got really unlucky, you hit the spare track which is the only 45mm place on that strv.
Hope this helps.
17:00 I don't know for certain but I would assume your APCR didn't over-match the STRV because APCR is a sub-caliber munition. The sabot is 107mm, but the actual projectile is typically much smaller. Now, the only WW2 era Soviet tank guns that had APCR shells to my knowledge were 57mm and 85mm, but the Soviets did after the war develop 100mm APCR shells, that used a 38mm penetrator. Assuming that general proportional would have been true of a hypothetical 107mm APCR shell, it would have had a
He hit the 45mm plate. Nothing to do with sub calibre. You can see this in the hybrid model on GG. Where he hit visually was the top edge of the top track link. That's 45mm plate and will ricochet full calibre 107.
Tank with weak spots. Can they do that?
9:43 chems moving to russia confirmed
I think the best buff they could give the panther 8.8 would be to give it this reverse Auto reloader, yeah because it's pretty much worthless in every other category
CHEMS UPLOADED!!!!

The more and more videos you make about these lesta prems, I think Circonflexes was so right when he said "Keep those crazy russian premium tanks on the russian server, we dont need them"
16:30 Your 107 bounced because on this specific spot the S1 has a piece of track on its front glacis which makes the effective thickness 45mm instead of 30mm. Happens.
Capping on RU, when there is still some damage to farm, is a usual thing
chems, PC Patty, and Doctor_Nix walk into a bar.........
On strv there is a random plate that is 40? Or srhing like that
It's not is3 m3, it is is3 mz, that basically means is3 with autoloader
would you rather:
delete artillery
or
remove invis walls
or
always have good RNG
or
be the only person in NA/EU who owns a BZ-176, Skoda T-56 and XM-57
So basically fight it like against a Maus?
Spam gold?
lesta makes everything fun
yes, their tier X op premiums sure are fun
Chems complaining about 150ms of ping when that's my normal. Sometimes I get even more.
13:12 аб'ект 168Н. my eyes are crying blood (it should be "объект 168Н") 😭
or is it for u to bettter understand the pronounciation?
its belarussian
The only thing that was missing from CHEMS to be an S tier WOT youtuber was upload consistency. Motherfucker fixed it.
Honestly i enjoy watching those vids, but i hope those things never come on the eu na servers
I have a feeling that chems does not like playing scouts.
ping made your caliber RNG roll -25% against STRV
yo chems you still got a discord server?
4:20 it is not IS-3 c M3, it is IS-3 s MZ (s mechaniZmom zarjazhanija)
500 views in 5 mins? Bro didnt fall off
Overmatch only works with AP
16:31 hit the one 45 mm plate rip
I have a clip of me hitting that plate 3 times in one battle. I was losing my mind 😂
Yep the visual miss matches the actual armour. Can be seen in the hybrid model.
Chems how can i play the Lesta server because i can't even download the game somehow?
Type Mir Tankov, it must be available, but it will be in Russian
Reverse autoloader name doesnt make sense?
This is just a autoloader with a changing reload time like with the pzh2000
If it were a reverse autoloader it would unload shells from the cannon or gives them back to the loader to put into the ammorack but i think that would also be just a autoloader
everything is just an autoloader, but they need to make them distinct in game for the purpose of clarity. it's reverse in relation to the regular autoreloader, which loads slowest with an empty clip
The order in which the reload times increase is reversed.
hey @chems how did you solve problem with paying in Russia. I cant use even Revolut acc. to pay. Suxs. I would like to try RU server. Edit: im peasant from EU.
I would argue with you, about why it might be a false feeling that RU server is better, but after a consideration I think you might have a point. EU/NA servers have a stagnant population, where big chunk of playerbase consists of maybe not good but experienced players, who just load gold when they do not have 100% chance to pen and are so lazy that they just want to sit on their precious possition where they can play hulldown till the end of the battle. RU player base is probably younger? Bigger chunk of unexperienced players, who do not care as much about their stats are more eager to try to pen you with standard ammunition, are more eager to try to flank even if in eyes of experienced player their decisions might be too dangerous to succed and that means more active gameplay, but at the same time not filled to the brim with gold ammo, because when you flank you do not need gold ammo and newer players need a lot of credits for new tanks, so they might want to not spam gold?
Also I am also big fan of not capping if possible. Sad that on EU sometimes there is a group of players, who's only plan for battle is to cap asap.
This is not absolutely true because there are a lot of players who came to EU servers instead of RU (in Russia we had to choose where we wanted to stay, on RU or EU back in the days). So, basically, let's say the "population" on EU is like 70/30 or 60/40% of EU and RU players. However, the difference in gameplay is gotta be in mindset of people. Most of the players in this game (both WG and Lesta) something like blueprints in their mind. I mean absolutely most of the players (who play at like 46-55% win rate) think that heavies must go and fight in the town or smth like that, TDs must sit in the bushes till death, LTs must run around or sit in some bushes they sat since like 2015. But the real difference imo is that RU players may be bored of sitting in the same bush for 10 minutes straight (although sometimes they are not) or may be angry on you because they may think "Why the fuck this bastard pen'd me but i didn't??!" and they yolo on you without any thoughts behind.
About the age of players base i think there is no that big of a difference since this game is mostly popular from people 30-40 years on RU because those guys are comfortable with that slow and steady gameplay where you can just stay and think of something else while still being in the middle of the battle.
So i think the difference is that we in Russia are much more impulsive and a bit more of "action style" players. However, i say that without any experience playing on EU servers. Just my thoughts from watching some streamers that play there so i may be wrong
It is not only that. Where is the toxic platoons? Chems play with platoon mates. But where are all the Chems like stat girding players on RU servers? I get so often into matches consisting solely of broken p2w vehicles snowballing the match before it even began. And Chems is wrong about this tank being balanced. You get a sweaty nerd playing a auto-reverse loader in a match of tech tree tanks driven by tomatoes and bananas skilled players. Gets 8 kills and still do not see how the tank is definitely OP. IS-3A is OP. It is the tech tree tanks that decides balance. Not the p2w broken premiums. Funnily enough, it is Tiger P and maybe KV4 that has a honest chance to get 8 kill games due to decent armor and DPM. But if the enemy loads gold your right back into struggling.
On the EU server you have pretty much a majority of the players running food and excellent crews. And at least all of the eq slots doing something. Having players running around 3 marking tanks, or platooing with mostly OP premiums. Then you have the Russian Skorp G whatever campers farming credits etc, etc, etc. Bourras etc, etc, etc.
I found a random IS2-S using cammo net on EU servers... It is so rare that I have to point it out even. How many Russian players have no care to even equip vents?
On the Russian server you have mostly solo players grinding tech tree. With far less sweaty pricks that fire nothing but gold, grinding W/R and all of the hulldown meta nonsense.
How often on the Russian server do you get into a match where 25 of the 30 tanks are premium? How often do you get into 2vs2 platoon games where the platoon players are sweaty 240hz CS:GO fanatics that use everything to get the most damage and kills. A Chems. Or say a Quicklybaby, Skills, whatever? Running nothing but food and all p2w advantages.
@@TheDiner50 yeah chems games shown here were preety chill with a lot of time for him to carry and none of the flanks colapsed quickly leaving no time for response. Also not a lot of these OP machines. I felt like I have traveled few years in time machine when I was watching this game.
IS-3A - reverse side scrapes.
