I played my first battle with my Maus in clan wars quite a while ago. I ended up blocking 9,980 damage from gold spammers. We ended up winning when 2 of the enemy ran out of shells. Think I only had 2,200 damage, but it was epic.
if your actually doing a clan war then there is no such thing a a "gold spammer" everyone better be spamming gold or GTFO of the clan. it's kinda how clan wars are played and have always been played
I have three categories of "Oh crap - THAT tank!!" 1. Invisible, shot by a sniper 500 meters away, spotted by someone else. Or a "Baguette" (Bourrasque). Because if you're hit by a Baguette, you know that the time you aim in approximate right direction - the next shot has already hit. 700 dmg. 2. Rounding a corner to find: "Oh crap - THAT tank." Usually a Chrysler K, SU-101 or TS-5. Well, what's so scary about them? I play T6 meds mostly. And you haven't a chance in hell, because they're hull down or even shots towards them just bounce, bounce. 3. Wheeled vehicles. Up to T6 - fine. After that, I'm still trying to auto-lock, misses or even when (they're) hit, they have five more wheels. PIA.
I'm a little surprised not to see the Jagdpanzer E 100 not more represented for high damage because it is a good counter to the current armor meta with its 420mm HEAT pen. On the right map with a good spotter the thing can have some extreme results. Just about everything else about the tank is tragic, but that gun..... I hate facing it because every shot is about half my hit points.
Yeah, it only needs about 21 seconds to reload at best ansld about five fo fully aim. Total 26 seconds to have some chances of penetrating. If you choose to spam gold with that shit,say goodbye to all your credits. I know because I have one. It is situational at best. In normal days it's IA horrible in every way. Can't think of a use for it. You can't snipe, it's gun is unreliable. You have zero camo and arty magnet . Y9u have zero mobility and an be flanked even from a Tortoise. If you ever fell threatened by it, let the arty handle it. You don't need to do anything. It's completely worthless. No wonder most of the times is in the top first five tanks dying in every game.
I am sure you will remember how the the Object 268 Version 4 (tech tree TD) performed in this game before the nerf, Mr. Claus. ;) That was a real game breaker, wasn´t it?
Another way to kind of "see" which tanks do the most average damage is to look on Tomato at MoE Reqs. For TDs, the 114 SP2 leads the pack by a huge margin. It also has an insanely high Winrate. Note, the Minotauro has the 2nd highest MoE requirement and the 2nd highest Winrate (for Tier 10's).
@@NtrosXo I do not know. Don't own it. From the stats it looks like an excellent sniping TD (0.31 dispersion, high DPM, 650 alpha damage). Its armor is poor.
what I find playing with new Italian TD`s is that if enemy team is good and you go to a choke point then there will be no one to shoot only equal Italian TD on other side of the choke point and you can`t damage him and he can`t damage you so both of you just sit looking at each other and waiting for your team medium tanks to win other side of the map and distract enemy Italian TD or chip 1/3 of HP points so that you can rush forward and take him out and if you are lucky manage to get get 1 more shot into last enemy MT or TD and that`s about it and this happens especially on that new map where there is that concrete footpath going straight in front of houses in middle of town. Had plenty of games like this already with tier 9 version.
Minotauro is one of my favorite newer released vehicles. Fits my playstyle perfectly and rare one where I started with bond turbo and full field mods and a great crew and a food and lots of gold in every battle. When you get into hulldown position loaded those first 5 shots you are effectively better than a chieftain, higher alpha and 8 second reload. The non fully traversable turret and having to reload for 20 seconds set it back from being broken op.
Disgusting non penetrable front, autoloader gun, short reload and good mobility. It fits everyone's playstyle. :DDDD Its not an art doing well in that tank.
many many times on this map its smart to pull back the 2 tanks vs mino should have left that spot long ago he would have set there as the 2 tds had him covered they clear the rest of the map but no we will both sit here and bounce
I disagree... all three players were active and went to different positions (so one person on the other team couldn't hit them all). The Maus on the 2-line was doomed since their light tank died instantly at the start of the game; he was spotted and died before he had an opportunity to shoot an opponent. The other Maus and E100 are fighting ridgeline; neither has good gun depression, both have weaknesses on their turrets, and there are 2 enemy arties. Just bad games.
I remember when I could track a veiled wehicle with my French spgs and one shot em. Now with he 2.0 it's worse than the first nerf and that is with an amazing crew.
enjoying the series....this morning bought the t4 French to go down the 'armoured' Heavy line, now that it seems to be ok. ill be leaving the Italian TD's well alone....for the time being
I dont mind occasionally playing the mino...but boy does it hurt the bank...the ammo is inssanly expensive..given you go front line alot and face hull down beasts you use prem rounds alot and at 6000 per round only to miss over half your shots it soon drains 100 000 per game....also when it cam out rounds were 5700 ....so i may just take the crew out and put into the standard B( i have prod 65)
The thing with newer tanks is all of us trying to learn where to shoot them. Early on all new tanks can be difficult to kill if they have different weak spots.
If you see a minotauro in a hulldown position just go somewhere else. It's not likely that you will be able to win. (Unless the mino is solo and you have the bois with you)
Kellerman, Kellerman, (smh) after all these years of playing tanks you think you would know the sprocket is on the rear and The idler wheel is on the front. 🤣🤣 That's the setup on most tanks. Just busting balls, love the vids, Rock on sir
1st video, guy wasnt a troll. It happens when you block people’s shot accidentally, he was trying to shoot that tree over that was outside the red line for concealment. And you used the word muppet a lil to much sometimes when it’s uncalled for, you still have alot to learn about the game
You’re wrong Claus. When you come around the corner and are face to face with a Death Star or Shit Barn you don’t go “OOOH SHIT.” you go “OOOOOOOOOH SHITTTTTTTTT!”
I never shoot Minotauro if it is hull down, it is useless so I think a lot of people are not shooting it, so it does not get most damage blocked games and does not appear so overpowered.
@@test_nametest_surname1794 Yes I do. E4 has no armor, and every 2nd or 3rd shell goes trough E3. Nothing goes trough Minotauro and trying to hit the weak spot is useless
idk about paying customers...easier access to thsoe tnaks and majority probably paid to get them but im close to the 279e...closer than i intended and i didnt boost or spam gold rounds for any missions on them i got 6 out of the 7 reward tnaks but i dont play much
Long time ago, on my very first battle I had with the BL-10 gun(just had it unlocked in my ISU-152), and my very first shot caused this enemy T-54's turret blown off. Then the guy went on chat: "Oh shit, ISU >
the mod packs have him going : ( That was Claus ) for arty i guess it was in Aslain's but gave some other packs name for the voice mod i used the pack 1 game but it was too strange with all the stuff going on so many colors seamed like a 60's lsd trip
When a new line is created, the T10 of that line is usually an overpowered vehicle so everybody to rush in order to get it (to spend gold and other resources). But after a while, 2 months or so, they are nerfing it and sometimes that overpowered vehicle is becoming a pure crap.
t67 hellcat superhellcat t10 t25 theres got to be ton in this game in almost all case's the turret moves kinda slow well that is unless there red and aiming at me and somehow there really fast
I always tell everybody at the beginning of the game I carry boxes and boxes of Pampers and Huggies. Then I asked what kind of a player they are. Do you like to be pampered or do you need a little huggy?
What is that E4 equipped with? My E4 does not move that fast??, Also the dam T95 TD is my oh Shit tank as I always seem to be facing it head on whenever I encounter one and no matter where I am on the map I always seem to encounter it alone, head on at small distance with no way to flank it. Just happens that way and I always say Oh shit!.🤷♂
It is called "getting some time up in life" not a criticism for the younger adults, they just haven't got enough time up in life to be all that credible.
A while back now, on the Karelia map, had a good game in the Cromwell, but it was bashed up pretty bad, along with the remaining team mates who were all low on HP when up come this death incarnate heavy tank with 100% HP!! Where the hell it had been all game I don't know. Needless to say we lost the battle!!! Why do we do it, what's it all for eh? 🙄🙄
So...Clausman, We suppose to play the game to win? Damn, man, I thought the idea was to play as a piece of fresh meat and let the players who know how to play dine on my liver, the object being stay alive as long as possible. I tire now, I go.
I'm surprised not to see the FV4005 in the top 10 for the most blocked damage.
Exactly I also never wonder why it has only 7kph reverse speed, it doesn't need more with all that armor after all, right?
My T7 Scorpion with 1 mm max armor has blocked more shots than any other tank of mine.
me EBR....
@@davidstutz6204 never bounced a shot, never took a non damaging hit never hit anything with the autoaim with my ebrs
That first WTE100 replay was a bug that you can shoot all shells that you got in your tank in a single magazine, you can do that on Foch B as well
11:18 And there was me thinking that the animosity between our host and a certain UK CC was cooling, lol
The Minotauro made a great game, has premium and personal reserve - and the match cost him around 110k credits ...
Claus' dementia prevents him from remembering the kran meta!

@@vonn4017 his point still stands tho: they spent so many shells trying to damage Mama Maus that they run out of ammo and lost :D
you don't get it so this conversation is pointless
TierX TD’s are in a good place right now. Lots of competitive choices to suit different play styles.

Ha Claus, 1st game, 6:30 think that the 'Trol' just wanted to shoot the tree for extra cover, quite clever actually......
Ever since Claus epic RNG vid, I look forward new vids from Claus the WOT Philosopher even more.

121 actually helped and knows how to play that position even if he blocked a shot of the e4 by mistake
Looked more like a troll who wanted that spot even though the E4 got there first.
and cost him hical
Anyone notice the maus tanks in the 1st platoon on game 1? No shots taken.. I think one of them took 1 shot.
Outstanding series, thanks
Thanks Claus
That last minute could have been a Benny Hill clip. Well that’s done Kellerman.
That 121b in the first game isn't a troll. he was trying to shoot down the tree to make cover for both of them
True
The T-92 in the draw probably moved to a bush on the hill.
Troll dropped the tree to create camo for the E4.

No lmao
