It's weird how my attention snapped onto your videos. Even with a few thousand subs, these videos feel professional, and I really enjoy them. Will you also cover other tier IX tanks or just the German tech tree? I'd love to see a tank guide about the tier IX Japanese Type 4 Heavy, as I haven't seen anyone provide a useful guide for it.

[@MaxGamingFPS]

The Tank Guides only happen with tanks I have 3 marked. I will review which, will entail more of how the tank plays and compare to other tanks of similar style. But not sure what tanks I will do yet.

[@nickl6715]

So glad I found your channel. Been a QB guy for years and nothing against him but I’d literally never heard him mention track health and then your first vid I watched showed me how important it is, especially at higher tiers. Kinda shameful how hidden WG keeps a lot of the meta elements of the game.

[@Kevin-xq2tv]

Ngl he mentions it a good bit

[@nickl6715]

@@Kevin-xq2tv I mean, that’s fair and maybe he does a lot more now but it’s not something I’d heard him say EVER in years of watching his vids. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@maurice5402]

You make the best guides man. I've already learned a lot of things. I like how you explain in detail why you do things. When watching other channels they often just say "I'm gonna go here, do this" like it's obvious and it's hard to understand as a new player.

[@hellcurt5061]

It's funny. Two days ago I grinded the E50 and 1 day later you post this great video 👍

[@coosmac]

Thank you for this! People always say how good it is but did not know how to play it.

[@lazer2997]

Max, you are doing fine work my friend. Fantastic series, these tank guides. Well put together, cohesive, informative. And you are funny af sometimes! Keep it up… and I appreciate your comments as to why you were stopping ‘The Grind’ series, trying to let go of whiny, complainy Max (which we all do, but so few realize, accept and invite change). Tallyho!

[@cesuresesli]

"I can't believe It's the same tier as me." You sounded (quite rightly) very offended mate :D

[@dronn_]

Nice guide Max as always! also don't forget to train your driver with Controlled Impact perk to maximize the ramming damage!

[@generalknez3942]

Still forever thankful i watched your Jagdpanzer E 100 guide. Noone except you says you should take the Reverse speed field mod over the track repair one. Its not that much repair time difference but 4kmh reverse is hella decisive when peeking corners in the city then falling back. Also, had a funny game on Steppes where i managed to Ace Jageroo after 1100 games finally XDDDDD Nothing TOO special, just 6700 dmg and 1800 assist aka 8500 combined and 3 kills in a tier 10 mm. I've already had countless 7k dmg games and all and had a one 8k dmg game but was always somehow 50 entire exp away from it, even with 8k freaking damage and like 500 assist. Then i saw a guy do only 5k dmg 0 assist and he aced it. Like Ace in this tank is soooo RANDOM bruh. Also guys, Jageroo can easily do massive damage if you play with a measured mind. Dont expose to the entire team obv and try to get a sneaky shot at the enemy. Denying them from peeking an important area is also good. I was simply Lucky with the rng and the enemies on Steppes were dominating the non heavy line but my single medium was holding em off so i just switched lines and just wiped em 1 by 1 lmao because i was lucky enough they were peeking 1 by 1 and uhh... You cannot trade with a Jagdpanzer lmao. It was the BEST feeling helping oit my med by putting 1177 damage of sheer dominance into the enemy M 60 leaving him at sub 200 hp for my team to finish him off. Then i highrolled another M 60 and he died lmao. Then i penned MVY twice for his entire hp ahahahaha. Then i just killed enemy arty, casually blocked FV hesh with my lower plate (very lucky btw lmao) and showed dominance against an E5 and some other tank. THEN I DIED TO GREEEED against leopard cause i was 200 hp XD and wanted that shot but alas he was well aware that a wild Jagdpanzer was climbing from behind the hill XDDDDD I could've gotten a shot if i was slightly more patient i guess but im glad it didnt cost me an Ace. For those wondering i had 1097 exp and the treshold was 1094 but a few days ago it WAS 1097 exp indeed lmao so yeah, extremely glad my greed didnt cost me an ace lmao

[@descartes2404]

Same case as me in my Leopard 1 yesterday. Tier X MM, I done 7.6k damage, around 1k spotting and 3 kills, High calliber and Confederate medals, also I survive till the end. And its still not enough for an Ace. I only got first class with that result.😢 On the flip side, I somehow manage to get a ram kill against a 121B with a Leopard 😂

[@AlexJacksonSmith]

I love the explanation of thinking you give. You play a little like chess trying to get people seen and taken if they move and not moving into a place where you are seen or taken. Great education. Cheers. Alex.,

[@godGottgod]

E50 is just the most versatile medium you can get at T9 or in the entire game. The gun is amazing and the armor hold up quite nicely at its tier. Which means you can brawl or snipe. Depending on the situation. Having a nice mm you can just bully the enemy T7s. In a way not many other mediums can. With the introduction of hardeing this works even better. Depending which hardeing you use you get 240+ more hp. Not to forgett. This ~240 used to be the alpha on many medium Tanks at T8. And for Progettos it still is. So a Progetto needs one more shot of its clip to kill you. And we all know how common Progettos are in the mm.

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

Great video. I agree, if you are unwilling to get close to enemy, do not play E50; try Leopard PTA instead. E50 does require a lot of gold rounds to 3 mark, sadly. The armor works if you keep wiggling, otherwise, there are too many weak spots on the turrent regardless which direction you face.

[@zingez7768]

I like to pick up this tank its really fun and consistent never had a problem with it. Fast mobility decent armor fast and good gun

[@marvsiege101]

Can you do more coverage of the Centurion AX? I know it is supposedly a good medium tank, but I cannot find any current guides that cover how to effectively play this tank. You covered it as a good tank to play, but I cannot find anything on how to play it effectively. Edit: Thank you for the excellent video, btw! You just convinced me to push up the E 50 M line and get the tier IX and X tanks.

[@hubertovidiu]

For the dpm you can choose other low alpha gun ;)

[@MaxGamingFPS]

No, it doesn't have enough alpha at tier 9

[@ottrakkaselg8033]

Max, I have a question. Not the right topic, but still. Bought me self a PZVII the other day and a fine metal shoe it is. I am close to the 7th field mod. Now, most have the gut feeling to get the +2 top speed, but my dilemma is between picking nothing or taking the -2 top speed. Reasoning behind it is, that with tier 3 experimental turbo I have on it, I rarely reach this top speed. Mostly it lingers around 36. So the -2 would not effect it that much. But to have +20% crew protection on it sounds very good and since it is good for ramming as well, +15% to ramming protection is also nice, -8% to stun i don't care about, but yeah. I guess I would lose some speed when turning close to top speed, but other than that, I am leaning towards taking the -2 top speed. What are Your thoughts regarding this?

[@strikeeagle360]

Love your content max. keep it up

[@IFxXceptions7]

tutorial in crew please my big boy, how can I change commander between the other classes of the tanks etc.

[@user-wy1ps9bj1i]

Just move them

[@marekogarek9499]

why the aiming circle doesn't change size and is so small

[@fomalhaut9]

Noice. The tier 9 polish med, the CS-59 is my current fave. It seems somewhat underated - I think everyone is dead set on getting to the CS-63 quick smart.

[@nickl6715]

@@fomalhaut9 bro the CS-59 slaps! Trolly armor layout(sometimes get a lucky bounce) and a gun that fires quicker and more accurately than the enemy expects. A fine choice 👌🏽

[@hydratoz4625]

Love this tank, but I'm not sure if I should go to Tier 10 now since it's pretty much the same thing

Great tank that works when the enemy doesn't know the turret is made out of cheese.

how you do for get those 200k gold?

can you review a replay I have??

[@RomainGauth]

I know it can sound weird, but in muy opnion, Obj 430II is the best T IX, equal with E50 I think ;)

@@MaxGamingFPS thx!

[@jules55284]

For me hp turbo rammer works well enough, the gun is pretty accurate

[@mundm6789]

now that i got the GUP crew i will grind this line

[@cwstead]

I want to like this tank so much, but the gun just does not work at all for me and it just gets melted by any premium ammo it faces at tier 8 and above. Also, that Char was incredibly unlucky to roll low-pens on that clip, even at that angle the turret armor is only like 250mm. I would not want to take that gamble

[@MaxGamingFPS]

The char would never pen when he hit, he missed my turret face and kept hitting the side since it was being annoying to hit.

[@ottrakkaselg8033]

i want to like this tank, but i can not make it work. e50m works very well, but for some reason, this does not. for me of course!~but ramming is fun. i have a ram kill against maus with e50m:)

[@Al-Basha_]

it's a HT against LT and MT against HT

[@fili0938]

Most mediums should be played more aggressively than the average player does.

[@samuelbailey8126]

I don't mind the non-live commentary, but I think I would prefer a few less pauses. Maybe try to keep from pausing the game to talk more than once or twice per battle. Good video though

[@johnfarscape]

the camo is so bad in the E50 that I don't even bother taking the camo skill for my crew, same with the Fatton, freeing up far more useful skills imo, its odd that a lot of other youtubers recommend camo as the first skill, I would always go for repair first.

first!

[@stryker120ski4]

when are the developers at wg going to stop being trash and fix the major issue in this trash game, prem ammo needs to be cut in damage per shot or removed. THe developers like the trash players in this game that spam full premammo have killed the tactics and skill out of this game,

[@durachoks]

A lot of tanks would be broken if they would nerf gold ammo, at this point its almost impossible to fix gold ammo, so deal with it

[@MaxGamingFPS]

So you are just as good as all those super unicums that only fire gold right? 5K DPG 70% winrate?

[@stryker120ski4]

@@MaxGamingFPS any player that fires only prem ammo is not a super unicums, the super unicums in this game are those players that CAN and does USE ALL AMMO types not a full prem ammo load out

[@stryker120ski4]

@@durachoks All wg would have to do is cut prem ammo damage per shot 30-50%, it would still have the same higher pen, the game would not be broken, since armor in this game is trash when wg will not address the rat in the room, and that rat are players that spam full prem ammo, players that spam full prem ammo are not unicums they are the trash players with no game play skill

[@durachoks]

@@stryker120ski4 yeah, Maus or 279 or IS4 just drives out and if you are lucky you are doing what? 200 damage in your medium while he slaps you for 500, sure it wont be broken

The best and THE BASED

[@twojstaryczarny]

also i recommend playing with 8.8cm gun, monster DPM and super accuracy, but its challangeing to play

[@MaxGamingFPS]

No. It's not worth using that when the 10,5 cm exists.

I think 8,8 is more funni : 3
