MEME MACHINE - CALIBAN

Literally every single unicum content creator: "OMG, this tank saqs, it is unplayable!" AEG: "Allow us to introduce ourselves."

[@Wolvenworks]

IMO it’s actually very tricky to get right tho. It’s basically a KV2 with a second shot ready. Unfortunately that means that it’s kinda underwhelming and very unreliable most of the time due to the HE nerf and the lack of favorable RNG (the gun handling says you’re either a TD or a shotgun heavy)

[@echo_9835]

This tank checks all the Wargaming meme-ium tank boxes. Absurd statistics? Check Toxic to fight? Check Frustrating to play? Check Vastly more effective premium round? Check Gimmick? Check Only available behind lootboxes or a marathon grind? Check Wargaming using the word "dynamic" in its marketing: Check Lol I love it and hate it

For me it is great machine. I prefer HE as it is much better for my targets which are, believe it or not, flanked tanks or medium tanks against which 180mm pen is usually enough to make swiss cheese out of. For the idea of KV-2 with 2 round auto-reee-loader 10/10

Yeah, i bought 75 boxes and got Yoh tank and Caliban. Yoh tank is just a tank, situations when you can use double track mechanics are rare, but Caliban is a real gem, it's not a good tank, but funny as hell!

[@AngryCanine]

I have the tank, and find it to be very troll for both the enemy, and the one playing it. I like to call it a micro deathstar since it can do similar damage, and it's British

[@StayKwimp_]

🤔 heavy tank with arty-like gun, what could possibly go wrong?😏

[@bumis5299]

The thing with this tank if you are playing alone you want to be sneaky. I play with HE as main ammo. And it does work you just have to know where enemy will push. Had several 5k damage games against tier 10. And there is nothing more satisfying as doing 1.7k in to an ass of a tank.

[@ghdoublewho7962]

I think they should make the intuition perk work properly into his tank. Like if you have 2 shells loaded, you have a quicker reload for both shells. With it's terrible reload, it would make the tank able to respond so much better to various situations

Oooooo incredible meme of tire 8 tankkkkk and it's BAIST

[@shamaii170]

I first played it seriously and it didn't go well... then I accepted that this tank is just a meme, and started right-clicking at long ranges and not taking anything seriously and this is when I started to get some results out of it....

[@johnm7804]

Its the same for me since the Tier 8 I mainly play is the type 59 and the borat I got super frustrated playing it until I accepted it as a meme tank. Then I got into a tier 6 game and proceeded to one shot 4 tanks consecutively without missing then the following game was a tier X game and bombed an AMX with a 1k HE shell from 400m💀💀💀

Edvin you was in enemy team yesterday, but you weren't too good hehe, i got caliban in 5th box then yoch in 20th and like 7th from the last skoda t56

[@DunkaDunka330]

When i got Skoda i was very happy...then i tried to play with it. Somehow it feels like tank that needs to spam gold and consumables to do anything (and then you get tier 10 game and do shit anyway). Also this tank, its pure RNG, i dont see anything good in it. When i use HE i do shit dmg, when i use AP i bounce side of tanks. So again another hard pass. Atleast the 4Y and 122 are decent. The swedish Ikea box is something different tho, if you get into good hulldown position and have support of your team, nothing can touch you.

[@SpicySpiritual]

Did You guys know that Caliban has good camo ? I haven't checked it but i was in front of 5 tanks about 50m away from them and banging them like crazy nd they havent seen me at all, even on open field xd like wtf ?

[@AwesomeEpicGuys]

Even with good camo you need to be at shotgun range to make the gun work so probably wont do much :D

[@freshwaterspaceman7194]

Caliban looks like a decent enough and surprisingly (no, really) well balanced tank. Two of them coordinating against you in a platoon throws that out of the window completely however and I can see this becoming a very popular tank for 'many memes' as a result.

[@aletir6111]

It is not balanced. It's the worst tier 8 tank hands down. Even a unicum can barely make this work, I can't imagine what kind of experience the average player is going to have. It's got his moments, it can be fun, sure, but it's mostly frustration and I can see this getting one of the lowest average dpg out of all tier 8 tanks.

[@freshwaterspaceman7194]

@@aletir6111 I disagree. It offers an interesting and different experience to most tech tree vehicles, which is a bonus and what, in a perfect world, beyond just being credit grinding machines, the premium tank experience should offer. It's not an overtuned Italian, French or Soviet medium and heavy either, thank goodness. Given that the vehicle trades a lot of capability for it's two tap potential It's fine. It cannot carry a game like a Progetto or Defender or whatever but then neither can a FV4005 a vehicle which trades all of it's armour, speed and gun handling for high alpha output. The Caliban has decent mobility, can take a hit and dish out meme worthy damage at the cost of being very vulnerable for an extended period of time. I see it being a popular platoon vehicle for those that want KV2 like gameplay at tier 8. For what it offers, it's pretty balanced all in all. (It would be a lot more dangerous and more fun to play had the HE changes not come into effect imo)

[@DunkaDunka330]

@@freshwaterspaceman7194 If HE worked like it used to, i would maybe agree with you. In its current stage this tank is pure RNG if you actually do anything or not. Hard pass from me.

[@henrikschunk5732]

No its most definetly not balanced. This tank is either stupidly overpowered, when you get the back of an enemy or a softly armored target and you manage to kill the entirety of even some tier 9 tanks in 3 seconds or frustratingly weak when all those things don't work out. This tank is a dice roll, but when the odds are in your favour, damn is it fun to meme around with

Just from encountering a Caliban with my King Tiger(C), had equipped improved hardening, spall liner, and gun rammer, the guy did 60 damage per shot on me, switched to AP and he bounced, and I proceeded to wreck him when I face hugged his tank, laughed so hard since I'm playing on a free to play account and can't even afford to buy premium tanks or the loot boxes at the moment. Now I can imagine him facing tier 9s and 10s lol.

[@alanwatts8239]

I mean, most people that have it know it's not a good tank, they are just in for the memes of it. Also surprising you bounced 300 pen AP, that was lucky.

[@lynoluoch1891]

@@alanwatts8239 Totally agree I was lucky, I actually froze when we bumped into each other, with the alpha damage on that thing, I knew I stood no chance, but when he bounced his AP shot plus the mediocre HE damage he dealt, I knew it was game over for him.

In Platoon its actually fun but alone... well lets say its not lol

Yes Edvin when ppl see this tank they are terrified af. One of my first battles was on ensk, when i've met two leopards pta. One of them was heh friendly to me, cuz he saw me, drove close to me and just stared at me, theremore I'm fairplayer so I was looking at him as well and not shooting him. When he was moving backwards I've made a salute shot next to him, and he was like " WTF !" he stared at me, standing in shock and i was like, well let's show him the power of this tank, so i aimed at his side and holy jesus juicy 900 dmg. he was truly friendly cuz he haven't shot me at all, just looking at me. * The fact: If someone is not shooting me I won't shoot him, i raise my gun and dance in front of him. Sometimes they hit me sometimes we dance and they die from my allies. That moments are beautiful, when you can make friends with an enemy. Sometimes i even protect my friendly enemies from my team, bcuz I'm honorable
