I got this gifted by WOT so I am lucky, It was my 1st 3 marker

Another Pay To Win tank, Escalation Era is now unplayable for most tanks, now I normally meet 4-6 wiesls in the game, so I feel sorry for everyone who grinds the Tech tree. For small children like my son (5YO) an ideal tank. Unfortunately escalation The era is now more reminiscent of Need for speed than a tank simulator. All that remains is to destroy the post war era!! (I went back to WW2)

pretty unique looking tank. great video sarge.

very interesting awaken mode with each ammo type. great intel and battles. GG sarge

Nicely done sarge. great bluf report. this tank might need some balancing or be limited to how many is allowed per team.

GG sarge. really good battles

I bought one but feel guilty when i take it out, way OP when in a platoon with good players

Hey Sergeant, I would like to know YOUR favorite tank in the game 🫣

This thing has done to era2 what it's co part did to era3 .wargaming money grab at very least ,just boycott era 2 ,I am !!

I have to admit: I got one, because it will easily guide me through the missions 😂 Seriously, penetrate 200 shot? No problem in this tank 🫣 But I agree, it is very op, while on the other hand, I think the Obj.477a is same OP in another direction

Thing has waaaay too much pen. 175mm on 20mm gun is ballistically impossible!

This thing is going to make Era 2 even less approachable for the tech tree grind than the missile spam h3ll it already was. I say that as someone who just started playing this year, and is still trying to get through the tech tree grind for Era 2, and has been suffering greatly. Great video. I'm sure this tank will be great fun to play, though.

Good Morning Sarge! 😎 Do you think WG will be forced to nerf the new tanks? Night S, the EE battlepass, MK 1, or the MonsterJager?

Yeah I agree this should not be in the game. I got swarmed by two of them and they both took me out in a few seconds. Appreciate you Sarge.

Bummer this tank just got nerfed.

Great...more fast moving rocket flinging tanks. Just what we needed. I remember when WoT went through an auto-loader phase where it seemed like there was a new auto-loader every month or so. I guess the rocket firing tanks are the new "thing" for both WWII and Cold War. Oh well, maybe they'll grow out of this phase soon. Nice games Sarge (easy mode LOL!).

Tank=pay to win

👍

woo wee, more like spook-ee

Crazy how many of these games are full of bots. A moe has become meaningless with all the bot farming.

The walk of fame!

👍

Great video!!

the newly added full turret rotation made the tank much better. i enjoy playing it. informative one sarge. GG as always.

looks pretty interesting but the price tag is high and difficult to play. great review sarge. GG

Nice games Sarge! I'm working my way down this line now. Not a fan of some of the lower tier options...slow and weak. But where's the fun if the grind isn't a struggle huh LOL!

Perfect wad looking for this info. Thank you Sir :salute:

Great Review Sarge- I'm rather fond of the Shermans, and currently working towards mine!

How do you make toast at the zoo? Take bread to the monkey house and put it under the Gorilla.... yeah I don't know how to pronounce it either, I just call it the grille like you cook meat on. That was highly entertaining! I don't play well in TDs, it's something I have to master, I get too impatient and play too far forward, too aggressive. I am hopeless in non turret TDs, did okay in the American turret TDs - currently on the T-28 Proto which is so slow that early game placement is critical to its success. I learned a lot about patience and placement watching this, so thanks for sharing in that classic Sarge style.

Well played sarge

👍

👍

Yeah, as cool as this tank looks, it definitely suffers hard from that shell velocity. And the standard pen is just abysmal for tier 10 battles which this tank gets in alot for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool tank, I just wish it didn't get rockets as it's ammo since if it hadn't, it could've actually been able to perform well as a true sniper tank destroyer or a front line tank destroy. Great vid as always!

I appreciate your review, Sarge! Looking forward to you playing it in its Awakened state.

Aloha, Master Sergeant ! I seriously enjoy your informative AND always entertaining tank reviews, not to mention those sweet Ace Tanker battles. And THIS is some really, really, REALLY nicely decorated garage !!! Keep it real! Stay frosty! 'raah! ... ... ...and aroooo 😉.

Bought the Halloween bundle and enjoy both tanks. However, I don't think wg should continue to bring more rockets into ww2. I think wg should try and keep ww2 to just guns and arty.

Wow 14,500 gold is waaay too expensive for me. As far as monster tanks goes, the tank looks cool as does the commander. But odds are if you wait until next year you can probably earn it for free. The one thing that I find annoying about the tank is the sound it makes if one is firing beside you. The semingly never ending "whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh" is irritating as heck (to me at least). You can also see the rockets coming your way and if you are quick enough you can reverse back down the slope or around the corner and avoid them. As an aside, which monster tank are you going for in this years earn event? I was thinking Pharaoh's Fury, Asterion, or Death Chariot. Thoughts? Great video as always Sarge!

At one time I had all the premium Shermans and they are all, pretty much the same. But I always have loved the M4, it is THE definitive WW2 tank to me. Made in huge numbers, served in every part of the war, they were durable and reliable and carried the day. While often outclassed in theory by the "superior" German tanks, swarms of M4s managed to blow up and take down many PZ IVs, Panthers and even Tigers. I read an actual WW2 tankers account of how they fired HE and WP at German tanks, hoping to smash viewports, wreck external equipment and set it on fire. Nobody is going to stay in a tank that's on fire. As Sun Tzu said in "Art of War"... never fight the way your opponent fights. Thank you for showcasing this WW2 classic!

Came for the stats, stayed for the presentation. I really appreciate the effort and sense of style you put into these videos! Mercenary tanks...um, yeah. I started playing just before they dropped and to be honest, I thought they'd be something totally different in style and implementation, and then it seemed to sort of fizzle out... and we moved (rushed?) headlong into Cold War and now Modern Armour. Most of them I have considered to be ... meh. I have Banana Buster and Smoothman, both must have come as prizes from a box of Cap'n Crunch or something I don't recall doing contracts, Banana is sorta ok to be honest. This one looks like it's not bad, at least when YOU play it, so thanks for a look at it in action, and for the video. Great game!

Being on fire glitch was a funny one. glad you captured it sarge. Great battle as always GG

I like the look of the turret. looks like it's smiling. Great battle sarge GG

You do know that is an Infantry Combat Badge right? A tanker would have a Combat Action Badge. Like the one in my avatar. I do like the fact that you don't show only your best games.

Good games Sarge! I don't mind the various Shermans as long as you remember that you have pretty much zero armor so don't try being the hero LOL! This is a good season as I don't have any of the tanks that are available. Happy hunting!

Great!

Gj🎉

I like the m4a1 fl10 more. Better clip burst, faster and more hp

I domt ever see the WoTC content creators discuss proposed feedback ideas/changes. Might be something worth trying for content.

We play the exact same 😂 I feel your pain man

Great battle, in that distinctive Sarge style! This is one of my favourite and most successful tanks despite being, dead average. (Like me) It was my first autoloader and that clip reload forced me to stop and think, evaluate, use some situational awareness and plan my moves. I run Optics, Camo net, Vents on this with a 5 skill crew, fuel instead of food and sometimes drop the camo, for traction system. I have tended to always play impulsive/aggressive, and always staying too long for that second or third shot in single shot tanks, and get whacked. This tank cured me of that. I can get around (somewhat slowly), pop up and dump the clip, then reposition and think about my next move. Play smarter, not more dead! Great video thanks for sharing.
