Patch 7.5 Preview - Objekt 268 Tier 10 Tank Destroyer - Hell on Wheels!

[@josefstalin9678]

ivan, u get spoiler on tenk yet? not yet comrade, i cant find it. its no problem comrade, just put log on back of tenk. i like the way you think comrade.

lol

[@awesomeaustin531]

his older videos are incredibly relaxing, almost ASMR like.

[@The_MightyJingles]

@Samykolon: You can only do that in a replay, not during the actual battle itself. While you're in a replay, press your left mouse button and switches between fixed and free camera.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Definitely. I don't know if it's less armoured there than anyone else, but it's at a completely flat angle, I have definitely been penetrated there.

[@The_MightyJingles]

I've started levelling them but not too seriously. Liking that little Valentine AT.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Regarding the logs you often see strapped to the sides and rears of Russian tanks - The Russian steppes in summer were pretty much a sea of mud once rains started, so the Russians carried logs of timber to lay under the front of their tracks in case they got bogged down to help them climb out. It just gave the tracks something other than mud to grip on to help get them moving. Quite clever, really, and your typical cheap and low tech but effective Russian solution.

[@azertu2u2]

jingles doesnt normally like small gun traverse but he instantly forgives the fact while playing. This is a big thumbs up for 268

[@The_MightyJingles]

@PackersAlabamafan: Been there, done that! T-62A was the first 7.5 review I did, just check back a couple of days in my posting history and you should see it.

[@The_MightyJingles]

If you made me choose between those two, I'd go for the 268, it's just more versatile, you have more options while playing it thanks to the mobility and lower profile. The E-100 TD is damn good in it's own way, of course, but for my playstyle the 268 suits me better.

[@deadpan237]

jingles good call on the gld, just wanna point out snap shot and smooth ride DO still apply on TD's for aiming and hull traverse. not quite as useful as on a medium perhaps but still not a bad choice as 2nd or 3rd crew skills.

[@The_MightyJingles]

I can't be precise since this was the test server and I don't have a Tier 10 TD on live, but I'd imagine around 1500 credits per shot would be about right.

[@johnherbold6539]

Ah remember the good ol days with the T-50-2?

[@fotismonocheir1446]

John Herbold no. fuck that

[@kshidner59]

I have been waiting for this video....the Object and the T110E4 will be my first purchases when the patch officially airs. My favorite machines in the test. :)

[@AgentTasmania]

Today, Tank Inspector tells me the casemate is 189mm frontally. The tank hull is still 120. sides and rear have been buffed to 80. Still not much, but it gives you better chances of angle bounces. But the portion of the hull around the Driver's optics is a weakness. The periscope and vision slots actually provide small spots of 0 armour.

[@The_MightyJingles]

I'd just unlocked it and was so keen to play it I forgot.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Xp and credits for all games on the 7.5 test server was x10.

[@tammasdexter4291]

5:00, that port is for the gunner to get a personal view of the enemies

[@The_MightyJingles]

Can't really argue with any of your observations, the gun traverse is pretty bad, and frequently annoying when it keeps forcing you to turn and re-aim at fast moving targets. I still like it a lot. That dpm makes up for a lot of annoying features, but at the end of the day you either like a tank or you don't. The 268 clearly isn't for you. Which one do you think you'll go for?

[@The_MightyJingles]

It's a mystery and we all deserve an answer!

[@The_MightyJingles]

As with all my videos from the Test server, I just try to show you the good and bad points, tell you my opinions and let you guys draw your own conclusions.  I know I didn't have much good to say about the T110E4, that doesn't mean it's bad. I'm just bad at driving it. Have a look around at other reviews before you make your minds up - Highflyer15's WoT Tips Channel has a very positive T110E4 review, for example

[@The_MightyJingles]

It was the test server, I was in a rush to get some games played and just forgot.

[@EverdarkOne]

That upper part of the front is 187mm. Lower half (the part starting from under the gun) is 120mm...so, no wonder it is bouncy

[@The_MightyJingles]

Play your tier 5 and 6 tanks more. Mostly because they're fun, but also because they rarely ever lose money.

[@3AMJH]

Thanks for the video. Hoping to finish my grind for it next week.

[@903rdlegion]

I'm currently using my III/IV, and my 36' and I will save up money (I can buy Panther right now) and will buy the Panther later, but I won't sell my 36' 'till I grind out the Tiger, which I will use for a later date, When I get my tier 8s, I might get the StuG III to earn money instead of my III/IV, and my 36' would be sold. Thanks for the help!

[@bernhartdoener7526]

I have got an obi 268 and I love it! It's very fast and only a T-50-2 can circle u but the E-100 TD get circle by every med and IS-7, T110E5. And the e-100 TD Bouches 2 times in ms front

[@ConductorDon]

Well I must admit I probably was not doing so well because I was trying to play it like a 704. It is a good sniper, but I've found the 268 likes to be more aggressive than the "campy" 704. Now I go to a critical point with the heavies and add supplemental firepower instead of sniping, and now I'm having lots of great games with 4k damage and up. Now having figured it out, the object 268 is once again my favorite vehicle in WOT.

[@swoopy287]

Finally got mine (8.9 patch) lol... love popping Xs in this baby.. accuracy is awesome

[@The_MightyJingles]

Review coming soon.

[@Phobophage901]

Do you have an M7 Medium review? I browsed for a bit but I may have missed it. If you haven't and do end up trying it out, may I recommend using the 6-lb gun with a gun rammer fitted. IMO, one of the more underrated tanks ingame.

[@shotgunn9]

about premature anxious firing. you should know to anticipate your enemies movements :P unless theyre close range i always overturn my targets because its just a good habit to get into

[@asArsenic]

The port right next to the gun mantle would be the sights port for the gun.

[@jorritpolder3409]

Congratulations with your birthday! Pretty weird to think you could be my dad. But then the coolest dad ever!

[@The_MightyJingles]

@Ablenan: Yeah, I made some noob mistakes there, should have known better than to shoot that IS-7 at that position and angle.

[@Philipbr]

this is my main tank. You learn that gun traverse good after a while. For me it is not a problem anymore.

[@youtubu124]

okay well this video was way too hard to find lol. But I finally got to it, I have the 704 and wanted to see what your take on the next one up was.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Test server game, forgot to enable auto-replenish of consumables.

[@ConductorDon]

Jingles, it would be awesome if you could do another 268 review in its current form. I really need a pros opinion on this nerfed td. I cant seem to make it work like I could before 8.11 I used to do at least 3k damage (usually better) before. Now it just seems I load it up will do some damage and then just die to tanks I used to be able to blow away. I just honestly think 750 damage just is not enough damage on a tier 10 td that regularly faces things like jagdpanzers, 183s, and waffles. I could live with 800 damage but 750 isn't enough anymore once you get to tier 10.

[@BlessurisHammer]

@ 24:12 or arround there... If you were driving and you spotted something and wanted to shoot at it, then smooth ride would be usfull, because you dont lose so much accuracy while driving, making the aiming sircle smaller, and making you faster to shoot at whatever you want to kill... could be life or death there Jungles

[@Dreamw4lk3r]

"ugh, a Maus!" loved that part :)

[@TheMonotomic]

That will be really hard to flank if the player has his mind in the game. That speed and maneuverability is just great.

[@The_MightyJingles]

I don't want to get into an argument about this machine, you clearly don't like it, and that's fine. But just for the record, I didn't forget anything about the gun traverse, I mention it at least twice in this review and I did emphasise that it meant you'd have to move the hull and re-aim afterwards. But since it's the most accurate tier 10 TD and has the fastest aiming time I don't consider this to be he end of the world. Your opinion obviously differs, and that's fine too.

[@USSDragonfireNX84]

Thanks for the video, very informative and know I know that it is worth the grind :)

[@ivnitroxb]

Objekt is love, Objekt is life.

[@tommyleesheils2061]

"pants oh head DERP moments" The mighty jingles

[@The_MightyJingles]

It is but I had a sudden rush of creative license to the brain when naming the video. ;)

[@armydudert]

do you plan on showing off the british td's? im interested because i want to find my favorite td tree. I like the german one but i hate how in tier 10 russia and germany swaps personalitys.

[@igotohive]

I love camo skills, all my crew in my Panther have it, and the commander has 6th sence. That tanks is pretty much invisable. Best investment in a tank i ever made! :)

[@Wangpi3ce]

that really comes down to personal preference.

[@michaeljames7810]

@mrfunnybeea if its the worst why does it cost 301000 xp than the jag E 100 that because it has the fastest ROF and is very quick it a very good T.D

[@InfinityS315]

I find that city maps are optimal for close range fights where they can't get your side

[@natecaraway2000]

I checked and the top part of the hull is 187mm and the lower IS-8 part is 120

[@Snorky421]

could you possibly do a review on the su spg line PLEASE!!!!!!

[@Shrike12]

nice vid, but why do you not equip repair/med kits? You could have repaired your ammo rack ..

[@kshidner59]

Yeah i mean its all about the player, i personally loved the T110E5 and that has been my main CW tank, so i saw the E4 as the same tank, except with a bigger gun, slower ROF, and not as good a traverse turret. I still don't understand the whole ROF difference between the E4 and E3 guns....they're the same gun...and it sorta irks me that the E4 gets shafted. But...oh well, if played well, its an excellent tank. That armor is really bouncy if placed correctly.

[@marcusdefilippis122]

jingles i wanna ask if u could not say all the detailed info on some of the videos on the tanks, i kinda just wanna see them battle, that's just me though i think u should ask all your viewers that though. just a thought

[@kosmick-9305]

Wow, my tab REALLY doesn't like your videos jingles, it refuses to play them in HD ;-;

[@vincebln2]

GET OBJREKD SON!

[@calebtaylor6942]

I don't even have a tier 9 vehicle yet and I've been playing for 4 months, is that good? My best tank is the is-3, 30,000 easy Xperia till is-8 :D

[@ivnitroxb]

Same with me. I have huge issues with indecisiveness. One day I want the IS-7, next day the T110E5, etc. I have quite a few tier 7s but no actual tier 8! Haha I just don't have the focus.

[@5514alex]

don't worry i been playing since February on the 360 i gone through a lot of vehicles and just researched my tier 10 t10e5. focus on one tank a day. if you have multiple tanks, get the x2 on them and then focus on that one tank.

[@AgentTasmania]

I was playing for over a year before I made it to tier 8. PC version and 99% of the time on a standard account.

[@georgefleagle8789]

I'm going to say something you're not going to like. don't rush straight to 10. Try and get a lot of lines to mid tiers, learn how different vehicles behave, learn spots to abuse gun depression, spots good for holding flanks, how to maneuvre to carousel or defeat a carousel. Learn armour angling, sidescraping, and how to read a map. Play a lot of mid-tier matches until you know what you're doing and frequently carry games.

[@AgentTasmania]

George Fleagle Or for the less honourable: buy a tier 8 premium. WG encourage you to throw large sums of money at them for underwhelming returns.

[@Dermisc]

Unless it's reloading, who in his right mind would aim at the front of a 268? The only tanks that would come off better by trading shots with the 268 are the JE100 and 183. If an obj 268 is looking at you, get in solid cover.

[@The_MightyJingles]

43 as of yesterday.

[@The_MightyJingles]

It could be that I did it that way on purpose, komrade.

[@CloneDAnon]

Like i said, i just got T30 (also because WG dropped T9 MT and TD prices by half for while) and i kept the T28prototype(LOVE IT) so i will get both the T110E4 first and then T110E3. I have played with Object 704 for a LONG time, but i do not like Obj268. You also forget that after moving the "hull" you need to aim again for 2.7 seconds, so it is not really so accurate TD as you describe, plus Object 268 plagues the same USSR tank problem that even fully aimed its shells wont go at center always.

[@CharcharoExplorer]

You forgot the slow shell velocity :P And the 187mm Superstructure.

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

seeing the hull, it reminds me of more recent tanks, like the T-62 and later i wonder if we will ever get to see more modern tanks than WWII after all its World of Tanks not World War Tanks and all the contries actually continued to develop tanks after the war except maybe germany =3

[@gabewilson5845]

Silly Jingles, Tanks don't have wheels

[@raggedsolution21]

then how do the tracks move? what guides the tracks so they don't slip off?

[@archiemercer5499]

raggedsolution21 magic deal with it

[@richardwilliams9627]

mcarchie mcmercer seriously its has wheels deal with it

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

Man, and all that time I changed road wheels in the army. to think, they were not wheels at all.

[@gabewilson5845]

Holy shit a comment from four years ago. How was I so daft.

[@ninja.saywhat]

the pre nerfed 268! it used to be the king of td. i'm already missing this.

[@lurvenlove]

Why didn't you equip it with a repair kit? That would have solved your ammo rack problem at 34:50

[@0pyrophosphate0]

SU-100 had a log, SU-152 doesn't. The crew misses their log. It has seen them through many a tight spot. Does the log return on the ISU or 704, or do I have to wait for the 268 to regain the lost companion?

[@jerseyboi79]

Mighty jingles can you please cover the xbox world of tanks and its vehicles?

[@nebulus_aversus]

Very informative, thanks a lot!

[@cuttlefisch]

Have you ever done an IS2 review, Jingles??

[@Iowncuba]

ah i remember watching this when i was a derp at world of tanks...good times!

[@TwinklesTheChinchilla]

Is that a LOG CATAPULT on the back of the Obj 268???? Hax.

[@benpedrick1886]

Do you have a Obj 704 Review? cant seem to find it if you have, would you use same crews skills/equip on that as you do on this? assuming thats your playing style

[@903rdlegion]

I am slightly new to WoTs, with 1,500 battles, and currently at 990,000 credits, I have all my research in the German tree, but my problem is I cannot get enough credits to fund another new tank. What tanks do you recommend me to get to earn money? I know this is a Russian video, but I would greatly enjoy some help. -903

[@Pxrfect_Blue]

it are stronger guns and stronger guns are pretty much like howitzers.you know what i mean,howitzers travel slower.

[@emnseysquire983]

also could u do some low tier reviews I haven't gotten past tier 5

[@The_MightyJingles]

No-one wants their dad to beat them at computer games. ;)

[@CharcharoExplorer]

Just wanted to share that the superstructure is 187mm of armour.

[@Dreamw4lk3r]

Test server has higher +cred & +xp multipliers. on Live server you would generally need premium account and a decent game to turn a nice profit yeah.

[@towlie4029]

the is-8 was meant to be the obj 268 but they made both instead

[@PKPpecheneg121]

had a really lucky game today. i was in my t-34 and artillery almost killed me . i had 9 health, and i had to 1v1 a at2 with about a 1/4 of his health left. ended up winning.

[@SacreDro]

Are there tanks in the game that can add only general exp? So, let's say that I have researched all the module of the tank+the next tier tank that comes after it. If I continue to play with it, are there any tanks in the game that can add only the the general exp list?

[@tigerloaf7175]

The way you said "its Russian" sounded so sarcastic

[@Monster-mn7my]

That gun mantlet makes the tank look small for some reason.

[@ConductorDon]

Im on the last 50k xp in my 268 grind. While it is still defiantly the sexiest tank in the game, I feel vaguely cheated spending so much xp and credits on a tank that's now only doing tier 9 levels of damage. I honestly think after that grind, I'VE EARNED A GUN THAT DOES 850 AVERAGE DAMAGE!!!!! Frankly 850 is pretty low compared to the joke machines like the 183, jagdpanzer e100, and lets not forget the bullshit waffentrager e100.

[@ConductorDon]

just got it a few minutes ago, its defiantly better than the 704 and a good td. But that sub par damage still hurts in games where most of the team is tier 10.

[@michaeljames7810]

Donald Stinnett it makes up for the alpha damage with rate of fire and I find that the armour is quite bouncy

[@ConductorDon]

Quite Suprisenly I actually love it now. I do even better with it than my 704. Im actually quite pleased with it after some getting to grips.

[@mrgizaratino]

Happy birthday :)

[@jorritpolder3409]

That's true. But if he is the mighty jingles i wouldn't mind. ;)

[@lidith2786]

what i find kinda wrong is this: jagdpanter II got 2400dpm, jagdtiger got 2900dpm, jagd pz E100 got 2450dpm, objekt 263(sorry if its the wrong number) got 2950dpm, and the objekt 268 got 3000dpm, just why wargaming, why. The jagdpanter II got about the same dpm as jagd pz E100, while the jagdtiger can match the objekt's. (not counting the penetration)

[@ibanez555]

You have to love the forums. Just got my e-50. After reading on the forums it was just useless, and the ausf m sucked just as much. But then it hit me to look at the russian forums for the t62. And it's the same thing there. If you die, it's the tanks fault and it's just not as powerfull as everything else. If you win, it's because you are just a god.

[@beneteus3833]

The Objekt 268 has the best camo of the t10 tds

[@The_MightyJingles]

@CaptnKrksNippls: Going for the faux Russian effect, that's all. ;)

[@colinkennedy1718]

With the new Tier X TDs (Obj. 263, Fv215b 183) what advantages does the 268 still have?

[@nathanrladdable]

Again for crews, brothers in arms?

[@Slakrrrrrr]

I can't help but notice a small black hole beside the gun. Is this a weak spot?

[@bernddoener5512]

What tank so you like more, obj 268 or the E-100 Td?

[@lightcerebel9037]

which is best tank/premium tank for winning credits?

[@christiansemb6713]

can you belive this is WOT 2 years ago and when watch a new video now you will see alot of changes.

[@treefor5769]

The reload of the Foch 155 if it didnt have that magazine , a single shot would be 14.6666667, there are 3 shots in the magazine, 40 divided by 3 = 14.66666667. conclusion basically u fire 3 shots, after that u reload them (3 shots) all together ;) ur welcome.

[@emmettochrach-konradi2785]

+tree for nope you didnt add in space between shots in the auto loader it would be more like 20 seconds

[@treefor5769]

Emmett Ochrach-Konradi I said if they were SINGLE SHOTS

[@emmettochrach-konradi2785]

tree for yeah, but that is a balancing aspect and is what wargamming would put it at if it was top change

[@IRonIcScopez]

Your math is incorrect, It would be 48/3 because the time between shots adds to 8 extra seconds.
