Can't understand why people think it plays like a medium. Its slow to run and sluggish to turn even with a good cmdr and equipment. Best used as a distance sniper with good camo. The low pen with std ammo is a killer against tier 9 & 10 tanks, so pack lots of gold rounds.. FINALLY the 320 listed damage is a ^%$£ LIE! I wondered why my total damage was a bit low so I checked over a half dozen games. mine consistently did 240 damage every PENETRATING shot, only averaging over a over a number of games you're regularly going to get
Plays like a mid line support medium, to get the most of it you need to be in more attacking positions then most stealthier TDs but also not in your face brawling as it does not excel at that. It's definitely best in a surprise attack format, but takes a lot of patience and effort to get the most out of it
@@Petty360 thanks bud, have been playing it a lot to try to get a handle on it. You’re right- best played as a sneaky mid position- else the game gets away from it- too close and the long reload bits you in the Bum. I’m still flummoxed by the alpha which for me is persistently around 240 averaged over counted pens in a game. How the hell does this relate to the published 320 alpha and the +/- percentage of RNG?🤬
I think the servers aren't fast enough to report what the other tanks are actually doing on your screen. Shot at a conq once and thought I was safe but then the spotted/targeted went off and then his turret started turning and a shot came out the side of it and killed me.
Thanks for the clip, everyone else is just posting season info narratives (yawn), was looking for something that showcased this vehicle BEFORE I bought it and BEHOLD Petty to the rescue 🛟!! Thanx mate new I could count on you, never doubted you for a min. GG
I dunno if I was just having bad RNG or what last night but I played 3 games with it and bounced 11 out of 51 shots - many on the side of tier 10's, all with premium rounds - like it was shocking that the rounds bounced at these angles. I'm gonna chalk it up to bad luck/RNG and try again later today. All of my games were Tier 10 - I wonder if this thing will ever get top tier MM. This was also the first tank in my 7 years of playing this game that I found the gun elevation to be an issue. Twice in 3 games i found myself needing more gun elevation, which is an issue I have personally never experienced before in this game.
Thanks for the video, this is one of the only things interesting me about the new season. Someone really needs to let WG know that standard 3D Comms that we can buy for 500K is not good season rewards, I'd rather have the tier 2 an 5's that they've been giving us that I can sell or keep. I don't mind the unique 2D comms because we can't buy those, but giving us ones we can buy fairly cheap is just a let down.
'yeah put all the camo perks on it'.. plays petty style front line in every replay... 😉Lol. Actually you play it like I thought it might be able to because of that little bit of turret armour. I've enjoyed it for lols so far. I think power train over ammo swapper for me, the acceleration was doing my head in...
Recently picked this thing up. So far disagree about it being fun to play. It’s just too sluggish. Slow to get going, even slower to turn. The 226 pen is unreliable. Likes to catch fire. Probably not going to be a keeper for me.
I want to see double turbo equipment setup combined with improved diesel consumable instead of medkit, combined with off road driving skill and clutch breaking skill 😏👍💖
That tanks got fabulous DPM but the suspension can make it extremely awkward because of the Bobble, just try and get into flanking positions and keep the gun singing, head on brawls aren't the strength of the tank but in a Dpm war it can win.
You picked the the wrong equipment. As you said yourself, the top speed is alreeady unattainable, so more top speed is of no use. The other speed equipment would have increased power by 10%, and would also increase hull traverse.
The traction system is 10% top speed and track traverse. It does nothing to the engine power. Power train gives 5% horsepower and top speed (like I said 🙂)
The amount of anxiety in the "Gsor duel" at the end was killing me. You just had to tease us with that 1 shell reload ;)
🤣 I genuinely thought he'd focus on the two guys in front of him when he went round aswell but he really wanted me!
Landing every shot in a clip is a beautiful feeling.
Yup it really is!
Cheers for the review. Looking forward to playing this one.
No worries!
You've only had this for a few hours and got a review already? Beast
The soft stats and the reload time kill this tank. Great little ridge line hunter though. But that reload 😱😱
The reload is definitely long but probably keeps this tank balanced out
idk about console, but this is an absolute joy to play on PC, so fun and satisfying, especially 1-clipping most enemy TDs
It's definitely fun on console too!

Ye, its a bit laggy
There's just a few bugs that have come in with the update, wasn't like that before

I had a mixed bag of games and didnt suffer to badly with RNG, sometimes the game be that way tho

It's a solid tank! Yeh its a little disappointing not getting the special crews

😅 camo helps in the others situs 🤣

It's always down to the eye of the beholder tbf, it's fun to me but not everyone will agree (I haven't experienced the fire issue myself)
Didn't care too much before I saw those premium sabots. Now it has my attention..
The premium rounds are pretty filthy! (Just watch the pen drop off as it's abnormally high)
I got it yesterday I love it its my new favourite td now
It's definitely a fun one
Load the prem rounds and this tank has insane accuracy hardly have to give any lead when shooting a moving target
The prems filthy
I want to see double turbo equipment setup combined with improved diesel consumable instead of medkit, combined with off road driving skill and clutch breaking skill 😏👍💖
I'm not a mad lad like you Xiveris! 🤣🤣
That tank looks insanely good. Can’t wait to take it for a spin.
It's fun!
@@Petty360 had a couple games in it yesterday and it is filthy. It’s like an auto loader Shashka…
Gg mate
I use the Free Ammo Switch in mine due to pen differences
Did my eyes just see that second game right? Did I just witness you on a losing team? No I must have been seeing things
It happens 🤣
@@Petty360 honest to god I’m on so many losing teams lol. I hardly see you on a losing teams lol
Why do you continue to add a decimal point when calling the damage?
Always easy to say 4.3k damage or whatever it may be
Hi petty i was wondering if you have any tips for three marking the STB-1 i have been at it for two years now and i just can't seem to get it.
That tanks got fabulous DPM but the suspension can make it extremely awkward because of the Bobble, just try and get into flanking positions and keep the gun singing, head on brawls aren't the strength of the tank but in a Dpm war it can win.
@@Petty360 Thank you so much for the advice I appreciate it. :)
Do you advise me to take it or not?
Its an ok TD, clips nice it pen can be awkward for the reload the in tier Xs.
Likes a fairly long game.
Is cobra coming to console if so should I wait?
Cobras only just come on PC so it'll be a very long while no doubt before we see it
i haven't brought a premo tank in years lol...probably cuz the player base is so bad n going 39-120 in last few days i refuse to give wg anything lol
fun tank, very capable. i like to call it the "buttsore" lol ... also, imagine if this tank had t57 levels of reload like ~ 21 seconds ...
That would be OP beyond belief 😂
That’s not a TD, if it plays like a Medium…., crazy tank that is, imagine platoons of these….. ya.
Synchronous platooned shots would wreck peeps
Impressive games. I am getting “non”buyers remorse. I may go back and get it now as I have enough chests (keycards) to pick up the 4K gold.
It's solid, takes a lot to get the most out of it, but it's great at surprise attacks and absolutely Burst damaging people
