I enjoy the Caliban, much prefer playing it with HE to gold, hunting out the pens gives you something to do in the stupid long reloads. It does take patience to play though and to resist going on deep reload all the time. Always get the 'instant regret' kind of feeling after going on deep reload
2:15 skill was like ‘hey challenger, can i shoot the revalorise?’ challenger was like ‘yes okay skill’ rev was like ‘yea skill shoot me’ skill shot and retreated and everyone was happy
I really know what you mean about just how rare those types of games are with the Caliban. I never have got that sort higher score, but then again, I don't play 12 hours a day! Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed it! :)
Hiii Skiellll I have seen u play with KV 2 and Caliban on stream. Why are u not using sniper mode when pre aiming over longer distance? Does it make the gun more accurate or something? I was just curious cuz I dont know
WOT has an automatic ballistic calculator which adjusts your gun elevation so that your shell will hit the exact point of terrain that you're aiming at, shell dispersion notwithstanding. In sniper mode, the point your reticle is on might not be exactly at the same distance as the enemy tank and your tank is compensating for some 100-200m worth of extra flight distance. Let's say that there's a particular stone or house you expect the enemy to hide behind and you're aiming at it's corner. Behind that house is a long open stretch, so the point you're aiming at if your reticle is not actually on the house will be a long distance further than the house, leading to higher shooting angle. Aiming in 3rd person allows you to have better angle on what part of terrain you're actually aiming at. For fast shells, the ballistic trajectory is flat so the actual effect to shooting remains very small, but with very low shell velocities, such as with Caliban or KV-2, the ballistic arc is higher and you could very well shoot over your target if you don't take this into account.
@@Teknokraatti And this system also makes it impossible to hit an enemy moving on a ridgeline, if your shell velocity is slow. You literally cannot hit the required place
@@racernatorde5318 There's a manual ballistic calculation mod available that allows you to set the compensation distance by hand which I sometimes install but I find I often forget to reset or turn it off after taking a shot which leads to some frustration as the gun of course doesn't behave as I had expected to. Some acclimatization and training would remedy this, but to me it isn't such a problem that I would really bother. Your mileage could be better, so I suggest giving it a try.
@@Teknokraatti I was having this problem with certain vehicles, mostly those that use the British derp gun (AT2 and the Cromwell predecessor for example). I think they have to deal with a shell velocity of 300m/s
@@Crept9 GLD is a standard equipment btw, but this tank is better with IA because of the big bloom on aim circle - Cobra on the other hand is better with GLD IMO.
Yes, it works great against tier 6 and 7
like almost every other tier 8 tank 😂
It work against every low armored tank, doesn't matter what tier it is. I 3-marked this tank myself and it was most fun 3 mark ever, tank is amazing
@@quickyfrost751 no it sucks
Skill being SOOOOOO quiet. Was really weird not hearing him commentating 😂

Skill try the gold rounds for upper tiers they are very effective

It can curve shells over hills in 3rd person

Full HE too, I usually do zero with HE on this monstrosity 👿
When you cut to your smug face, it cracks me up every time 😂
It always helps to get those 'speshial' enemy teams! I just hope I'm never an accidental star of the show
This tank is not that weak but you need to know 200％what doing and happening ， I am satisfying when usually 2shoot a full hp T8 hts of their side
over 1 year without k-91-pt video...i am curently on marking process and i think it's a blyadiful tank
Every time I watch Skill, I feel like I'm just a moron.
Oh, I can't wait to see how to make better use of this potato chucker!
I really felt you last night on stream when you finally got that 3rd mark! Believing cost me all my channel points though!
If i shoot like you, my shells goes everywhere exept on enemi tank so idk how you do
This amount of tension in our beloved host is as frightening as seeing him drive Tiger P.
I don't have much hate in my heart but I set aside a small place especially for this tank.
What a difference low tier can make! You had the upper hand in all matches..
Why does he never use GLD? On a tank like this where the aim time is horrendous it would be very useful
Its a challenge, aftee certain amount of tips, twitch chat will vote on which tank to mark on standard equipment and no gold ammunition
@@Crept9 GLD is a standard equipment btw, but this tank is better with IA because of the big bloom on aim circle - Cobra on the other hand is better with GLD IMO.
This tank needs accuracy more than aim time so he's using ia
Skill, tell us what kind of equipment you are using on your tanks when you do videos. It would be helpful to us 45% players. 😅
What equip did u put on the caliban?
first link in the description
WTF!. You started the video by telling us how bounty equipment made this tank better, only to have great games without bounty equipment!
IKR
@@knallpistolen Thanks
Skill blaad you are the reson why i Player the game afain you remember me to Player the game for fun!!!!
You said using different equipment changed the gameplay, but you dont say what equipment you use in each replay, not very helpful 😢😢
I love you skill, but all I can hear is you swearing at this tank on twitch. lol
Tier 6 seal clubbing.
ggs
It is what it is..a big pile of Kaku this tank
i quit playing WoT because its so effing p2w nowadays. bond equipment and skill books and all kinds of crap that ruined the game
first :)
Nice gold spam
Lol he did not shoot any gold shell
Nice accurate comment
