  • I review the Centurion Mk. 7/1, a tier 9 British medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 10 Cliff and tier 9 Fjords battles.
    Strengths and Weaknesses
    Superb max gun depression (-10)
    Superb silver APCR penetration (268)
    Superb view range (410)
    Superb silver ACPR ammo shell velocity (1478)
    Excellent accuracy (0.32 base)
    Good alpha (390)
    Good turret armor
    Mediocre top speed (50)
    Long reload (11.2s base)
    Below-average camo for a medium, not good enough to play vision games against lights and mediums
    Thin side armor
    Large, soft lower plate
    Large profile
    Recommended Equipment
    1. Optics
    2. Rammer
    3. VStab
    This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.

    I've published this video in 1080p60 instead of 1080p30.
    Questions for y'all:
    1. Can you tell a difference between 1080p60 vs 1080p30?
    2. Do you meaningfully prefer one over the other?

      It's HESH. What you get with lower pen is 480 juicy alpha.
      Against squishy or weakly-armored targets, HESH outperforms silver ammo, and the shell velocity is still over 1100.

    I don’t know how popular is WOT in North America, but it certainly is popular in Russia and other CIS countries, although its popularity is fading, as some say. In any case - I am subscribed to almost all the major WOT streamers in Russia and Ukraine, the second country in the context of game popularity. And I can compare content that they provide with yours. And I must say that it’s quite good! I am very glad, that UA-cam algorithms recommended your channel. Subscribed and pushed that bell icon.

    Artillery has actually stunted game play, one is too many, two or more is just flat stupid. You can't do anything, especially in a heavy tank or ridge line tank. WG'ing needs to remove this line from the game and allow the players to move freely about the map instead of constantly getting crapped on by someone CAMPING in the back that you cannot return fire upon.

    Welcome back Taugrim, it's good to see you're making new video's again. Sweet.
    As for the Centurion 7/1. I wasn't very enthousiastic with it. It feels like someone throws a rock at you and you lose a module here and there. The hull is uberweak, it's also a nice big arty target, especially for a medium tank and well... most people just push 2 and zap your turret anyway. Not my kind of tank. I liked the (buffed) Type-61 a lot better to be hones. Yeah, even less armoured, but atleast it has the DPM to engage targets effectively and you just know your armour is completely awfull... just makes me a little more carefull.

    • @taugrim
      @taugrim  4 роки тому +13

      So yea I've been asked this so many times.
      I could make videos on maps and spotting locations but:
      1. the initial / early -game spotting locations become pretty easy to learn, if you watch Unicums play lights, and
      2. maps change over time, and
      3. I talk about where to go in lights whenever I cover them, and most importantly...
      4. I want to teach players how to think about mechanics, not just "go to this bush here"
      If I succeed at #4, you'll be better equipped to learn.
      People often complain about light tanks struggling on city maps (e.g. Himmelsdorf). I may make a video talking about that.

This was when WG got rid it for the Centurion Action X and I lost all my progress.

      A lot of people do that. I think to some extent it depends on the tank, and whether or not you run auto fire extinguishers. If I have an automatic extinguisher that isn't on cooldown, I'll probably let it go. No auto extinguisher, or on cooldown, in a tank that likes to burn, I'll think about repairing.

      I unlocked the T54E1 from the T49, back before 1.0 was launched.
      I despised the T54E1, the gun handling sucked and the silver pen of 210 was lackluster.
      I really didn't enjoy the T57 Heavy. A lot of people love the tank but it's pretty slow considered the turret armor is flaky (and has obvious weak spots in the cheeks). It just wasn't my cup of tea.

    Honestly, i just came back to WOT, was a noob, am a noob(getting better tho), learning to play LT's, wanted to ask if passive scouting is the way to go, like i like the concept of active scout, way more fun(wink, if u dont die, hehe), but many times i just get out-scouted by some passive scout without getting any spots, so is passive scouting better than active scouting overall(though boring)? or is it just me still being bad with roatation/peeking timings?(only got 3k matches, still dont understand flow of game :()
    Also i know lt's are one of the hardest classes to learn , but i just kind of love theconcept of mobility, so sticking with it :)

My take on the situation is even the best players still lose 30+% of their battles and while it's important to learn how to maximize damage/ kills/ effectiveness to win battles, learning how to maximize losses is just as valuable. When to fall back on a flank for example, to prolong an engagement as long as possible for example, cues that you pick up on, engaging in a running battle, or when it's simply best to fall back to the redline to snipe, etc. I know these topics get shown from time to time but usually it's from a comeback game. Just hopefully suggesting as it seems like an important subject.

    I'm one of those weird people that enjoyed the Centurion Mk I far more than I liked the Centurion 7/1 for some odd reason. Maybe because so many people had hyped up the 7/1 before I got there and it didn't reach the hype level (not sure, just spit-balling). Of course, I did my grind through that tank about 5-6 years ago. I think it might be time to buy it back and try it now that I have slightly more than half a clue what I'm doing. :-)

    • @taugrim
      @taugrim  4 роки тому

      Because it confers an advantage in situations where you are firing on low-armor tanks, and the cost is multiples of silver ammo, so it's a credit sink and the degree to which a player can afford to use it is impacted by how much real money a player spends on the game to boost their in-game credit income.

    • @taugrim
      @taugrim  4 роки тому +1

      Each ammo type should come with tradeoff (e.g. alpha vs pen), but they should all roughly cost the same.
      By having an ammo type that costs multiples of silver ammo, player affordability factors in. So it's P4A (pay for advantage).
