T69 is such trash. My least favorite tank. Needs a buff so bad.

[@Veraxeon]

Yeah I haven't seen the gameplay yet at the time of writing this but it seems way more like a tier 9 or 10 tank with its gun (and a little nominal armor) toned down to tier 8. Instead of indeed some weaker tanks that are more true/classic tier 8 tanks like the Pershing. People seemed to like the Pershing but I recently grinded up to the M48 Patton (of course to put Arnie in it), but the Pershing was quite disappointing.

Disclaimer - I'm not a very good player, maybe slightly above average. I'm enjoying this game less and less and one of the reasons is the number of autoloading/autoreloading tanks.

Unpopular opinion (maybe): This tank doesn't seem as good as the first evaluation/impression makes it look like. I'd say "fairly okay", but where I see it's biggest downside is the limited/hard-capped amount of threat it poses. While a Progetto (we all know it's Tier9) with its fast shell-reload and immense mobility has a way higher dynamic range which kind of situations it can approach/hold, the AMBT has to struggle with a very narrow bandwidth of "can I stay/fight this situation comfortably or do I need to run". As QB already mentioned, the clip does really seem to be designed as kind of "never touch/last resort" thing. Where I see its absolute strength: Partnered with a OG-Heavy. Combined with a second gun and a chunk of hitpoints, this thing will sweep heavy-flanks. Totally fits the "bring additional HP/guns to your heavy fights"-meta (hello all obj268vX) Btw: Anyone else get the impression, that Gun-Laying-Drive suits this tank better than Vert-Stab? Count the situations, in which you are already still and aim, vs shooting from movement (yes, I am aware of the general rule of "never use GLD" xD)

Great, a tier 9 tank with preferential MM. Serously, even the Standard B does not seem that better compared to this.

[@philosophist9562]

look at the gun handling?

[@sylvercloud6631]

@@philosophist9562 The difference is not that big to feel like a whole tier higher. Main difference is the penetration, but no doubt players will play this like the Skoda T56, full of gold.

[@RedXlV]

Standard B has 164 higher DPM, 53mm more standard pen and 52mm more gold pen, better in every gun handling stat (especially that huge bloom after firing that AMBT), a *lot* better mobility, and slightly better base camo rating. Aside from pen (which is a stat Wargaming basically alters to fit a tank into a given tier anyway; the Skoda T56 would be a very viable Tier 9 heavy tank if the *only* buff given was better pen), the most important of those is the mobility. Standard B has power/weight of 20 hp/ton, top speed of 63 km/h forward and 23 reverse, and its terrain resistances are good enough to actually reach that speed on hard and medium. On the other hand, the Standard B's armor is nonexistent. That said, the AMBT really seems like it ought to be a Tier 9 or even Tier 10 reward tank. It's got the same gun as the M48A5 just with arbitrarily worse shells and the same engine as the Leopard 1 with arbitrarily worse horsepower, after all. Wargaming simply gimped the hell out of its penetration and mobility to make it a Tier 8 premium. I'm not even sure why they did that, given that Tier 9 premiums are now a thing anyway. So it's not like putting it at Tier 8 was the only way to sell it instead of making it a grind reward.

[@sylvercloud6631]

@@RedXlV Also to put some perspective, the gun handling is more comparable to the Char Futur 4 and the mobility to a Centurion 7/1. Only the top speed of the AMBT is weirdly low like a heavy tank. It almost feels like if it was designed to be a tier 9 (even the look, it seems too gorgeous to be a tier 8) but then they downfitted it to avoid some more shitstorm.

Rarest things in the world: Bismuth crystal Opal Painite E-25 firing AP

[@robinkhn2547]

yeah can't blame him, really. Standard pen is 150 in the E25. In tier 8 mm you won't achieve shit if you only fire AP. And like QB highlighted in the beginning of the video, the lower plate is around 160mm effective armor. So no way to go through that with AP. That's why the E25 is not really op nowadays, you get to be top tier so rarely, and mostly you fight tier 8s, against even the gold round with 194 pen are not always sufficient. I am absolutely against gold spam, but in this case it was justified.

I feel like a winner after I didnt spend a single penny/gold to convert my free exp to get this russian TD yesterday. Of course I didnt get it as I had about 200k free exp only but it feels like I won something. Feel sorry for those who were tricked by WG and went into this CASINO's gambling mode again. How about this one? I guess a lot of you folks are now short on gold but with a tremendous amount of useless free experience :D. It means that bid for this american medium wont go too high. I am really surprised how high the bid went for this t10, useless because cannot be played in ranked.. russian tank destroyer. Of course.. it can make 100bonds per week if played but honestly.. was it worth so much? Is it even competitive in tier X random battles? Imo its just super fancy and expensive dust colector.. but time will tell of course. This american is at least a tier 8 and can earn some silver when played.. but its crap as hell. Its slower to most heavy tanks, have no gun depression up. Reload is worse to the one Bisonte has, and the one Bisonte has is really bad already. It has terrible ground resistance which makes it even more slugish. Its a bit like.. half projetto46 :D. Its worse in every single thing by half to it. The only good thing about it is the turret which is decent. Its not as good as QB says since can be penned when enemy switches to gold but.. its ok. It cannot sidescrape at all due to side chicks.. the armor was designed for pure frontal ridge fight but because of the neck without armor.. it is gonna fail even there. Have you seen this neck? Its ridiculously huge and goes across entire tank if hidden behind the ridge line. So to avoid being penned you need to expose gun only which is going to be pretty damn hard. The gun accuracy itself is as bad as the one Bisonte has, and trust me, the Bisonte has a really bad gun accuracy and needs highly trained crew and full gun stabilisation setup to be playable. But while the Bisonte gun sucks.. this american medium crap is even worse as it blooms after each shot like KV2 or Caliban does. The lower plate is a huge and flat HP piniata. Its a massive plane with the size of half tank and can be penned permanently even by tier 6 light tanks. Imo its a better choice then yesterdays russian Tank Destroyer no one is gonna play after a week.. you are gonna see. But its still a very bad tank for this amount of gold. Its not a great miracle tank, nothing it has is good or even decent. To be honest, its a bad tank but since its a brand new, no one really knows how bad it is so WG might scam some to spent more gold reserves on it. I feel so sorry for all of you guys who didnt wake up yet and are caught by WG greed. This greed level is nothing I have ever seen before. Its totally a new level of player base milking. I really suggest to everyone to wake up and realise how WG tricks you. This should be the game about tanks, not a gambling simulator. This game also isnt fun anymore if compared to others, I suggest to play something else just to get some additional perspective which can help you to realise how screwed you are. Design of this game is purely focused on monetisation and how to milk more from the player base. Every single feature added and designed is about money grab. I cant see any of them made to improve ingame fun. As said I played War Thunder nowadays and there is fun even at tier 1.. or rank1 as they call it. WoT became a game supporting toxic competition even within the same team and isnt playable below tier 7 at all. Just play ranked battles.. I dont get it how someone could even design it this way. Its so obvious that it promotes sefishness and toxicity. Generates tones of frustration and feels like a hard job to make. Where is the actual fun factor here? Games should be about FUN. Also I can feel that QuickyBaby breaks. He still kind of acts like a WG salesman.. but sometimes I can see that he also understands that it has nothing with tanks anymore and its ordinary, greedy and cold money grab which use gaming addiction and young age and lack of experience with the cruel world for some. Quicky Baby? Maybe its time to set a new channel about WarThunder or any other game which is actually fun? Imo if WG doesnt change direction they are gonna be gonne pretty soon.

We do have the population, but i’m assuming why we didn’t reach the amount of bidders was because everyone who actually has enough free exp has spent it competing for the OBJ 268 V5 a day before.
