GSOR THE TANK - Tank Review - World of Tanks

[@Samstarion329]

Remember when premium tanks were like this? Not as good as the regular tech tree version but making credits. Good old long gone days...

[@antalpoti]

That was a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

[@neilwilliams4684]

I still have my E25 from those days. There were some standouts even then.

[@Mike-by]

Sorry. THIS will not making kredits.... and bonds...

[@theglorioussweatward6390]

I was thinking the same thing when it was revealed, was nice when premiums were usually a bit more gimmicky or didn't really fit into the tech tree.

[@gottwyCZ]

On tier 9 it was the case very short time ago.

[@LeonidasRex1]

I shall install full bounty equipment on my Cheeselord The Tenk and be a cheeselord.

[@danam0228]

LOL

[@Donanzador]

For those wondering about the armor, the model is now on tanks gg, and TLDR no, it's not great. Turret is about 190-210mm effective for the most part, some small parts reach a bit higher, but nothing you can rely on at tier 9. Hull is about 170-180 on even ground, barely reaches autoricochet angle at max gun depression, but since the turret is oscillating they can just shoot that instead. If you raise the gun, the sides get a bit more usable, but the mantlet is still only ~200. Turret roof is also overmatchable by pretty much anything even at tier 7. Has some sidescraping potential, but as soon as you expose any of the turret or front hull, it's easy pens. So it's pretty much a bad Centurion 7/1 with one extra degree of gun depression and slightly better camo. Also weirdly enough it has cheaper shells (both APCR and HESH), by significant margin too, even tho it's basically the same gun.

[@Deathwalker666666]

in other words it is a variation of the" patton the tank" that does not completely suck and is playable.

[@Luxuriaa176]

so a cent 7/1 at home and even in shells you get a discount, still better than the patton i guess

[@bengraham5699]

wow, so many words. Just say it has practically 0 armor everywhere 😲

[@Kayrol1990]

If you ask me, the tank is free, fairly okay and not overpowered, and its better imo than patton the tank, so its fine. It's just the other tanks are way, way too broken than this tank is, it just cant keep up with them. But as long you are having fun with it, that is all that matters. You do you, mate.

[@sandboy5880]

Nah, why would I play with it? To lose credits?

[@IllyaTheKiller]

[@meatballg8655]

if its free it doesn't need to be good, it just needs to be playable. it can only be described as just acceptable andd for a free tier 9 with zero time investment required to get it i'm totally cool with that

[@cbordagesg2]

Honestly yeah that’s my thoughts

[@animalyze7120]

Of course you are, you'd play a ball of dog crap if it was free right? CHEEP CHEEP little birdie people are why they do this nonsense. Do you have any sense of Self worth? Someone gives you a bag of horse turds for free and gleefully take and play with it? WG would do far better to give nothing than insult peoples intelligence giving away crap for free they know they couldn't sell anyway.

[@bendeguzszabo9839]

i like the patton as a regular player who hasn't got crazy amount of tanks in the garage. If i can play a few games and have some fun in a gsor as well, it will worth it. Thanks for the daily videos btw, im sure the whole community enjoying it

[@Marshmallox43]

Since I still play my M46 KR every day this tank will feel almost really good

[@DarkRedZane]

Damn I actually forgot that tank existed

[@WeiChengFang-b6n]

Same, my M46KR is 65%wintates and 1800 wn8. I dont even know why and I am not a good player. 50% overall...

[@Boomchacle]

I just wish the spaced armor was substantially farther in front of the turret so it would actually be useful against HEAT shells.

[@GhostVvar]

I mean, Patton The Tank is a pretty low bar to beat. Maybe WG noticed the overwhelmingly negative community feedback from the Patton? Hopefully they buff the Patton soon?

[@___von___7377]

I'd rather they remove Patton The Tank from the game entirely

[@animalyze7120]

They noticed nothing, they don't a give shit. The only reason this tank is free is because they could never sell it, if they could it would been a loot box idiot prize.

[@robertflint4115]

Last game played is a good example of why game is becoming NOT fun anymore. Tanks go into choke points and everyone shoots weak points on turrets. And on other side a (Bull&@$?) EBR races around lights 3/4 map up in 45 seconds. Vision and speed have made the maps so small. Miss the days of tactics and teamwork. Not having entire map lit up in first minute. Please give us bigger open maps and slow down the EBR’s. Shouldn’t be able to go 70 kph while zigzagging on ice, mud, or sand without losing traction. 🤘😎 Tankers

[@andreww2098]

all the maps are set up to force that now, they've completely rendered most lights, mediums and lightly armoured TD's useless

[@rogerk6180]

How is wargaming to male all the money with tanks like this.

[@MikeEvers555]

Yep, if the purpose of giving out a free tank at tier 9 is to take pressure off the matchmaker at tiers 8 and 10, then they should give people a reason to keep playing it game after game

[@maxystark4306]

In my experience with the Patton (Yes, I play the Patton, it's a fun handicap for me) I liked it bc of its cupola spotting and view range, its trollish armor as an added bonus, it will be cool to see how people like me find ways to make this tank work, I will also be trying to find how it plays best and three mark it.

[@Gamingwithgrandpa420]

Will I tell all my friends I received a Christmas present from Jason Statham and that makes me pretty damn special? Yes! Will I play it much? Not when I have a Centurion 9.1 in my garage. But TYVM, WOT and Statham.

[@valkyriedark7356]

Yep. The hull is baseicly a Centurion hull with less armor, and the turet is a GSOR 1008 turret, with a touch of extra armor plates in the frontal side.

[@animalyze7120]

There is no side on the front, hence it's called the front for a reason lol

[@Cheltastique]

It's a Charlemagne hull

[@grantderue]

Looks fun. If it is like the Charioteer, I'm happy. It looks so much better than "Patton The Tank." Thanks for the theory-crafting!

[@animalyze7120]

"The Tank" is slang for 'Meat heads only"

[@filipebimba]

Waiting to try this one tomorrow. But Patton is quite allright if you ask me... the weak point on top is terrible but... not such a bad tank at all.

[@srgshadow538]

if it atleast had a 3 round auto loader it might have been ok

[@flakcannon722]

I think because it's a high tier free to everyone tank, kinda needs to be worse than the tech tree

[@srgshadow538]

[@excelsian512]

Recently (I'd say the past 3 years) holdiday ops is the only time of the year that I'm genuinely excited to play WOT. It's become kind of like a tradition for me to quit throughout the entire year, untill december to see what the new lootbox tanks are and such, however this is the first year that I've honestly not been having any fun playing WOT at all. And there's no particular reason for it, it's just that the lootbox tanks this year haven't been that exciting and the game feels kind of stale, even when achieving good results. I wonder if It's just me?

[@strategicmind2652]

This tank is just a mix of the GOSR 1008 (turret) and the Charlemagne (hull) thats how it looks to me

[@oldewolfe6968]

I still say that Overall, it looks like a Pre Buffed 7/1.... Not a BAD Tank, but Not an Easy Tank... I was planning on Stopping at the 7/1 when the 4202 was the Tier 10 before the AX was a Thing...

[@danieldiaz6796]

These free tier 9 tanks are a cool idea. The tier 2 and 3 gift tanks are not worth playing but at tier 9 they are fun enough to play for a few battles. I just wish that WG gave Patton the Tank and GSOR the Tank something interesting. Not overpowered, but interesting. Like in this case, I am convinced that WG could have given GSOR the Tank a 3 shell autoloader without making it too strong. The gun handling is weak and the tank is too slow to make it dangerous. Patton the Tank should have been given more view range to make up for the barn of a cupola.

[@IllyaTheKiller]

Theres already Cobra with autoloader setup, You forget about it? It have same penetrations on APCR/HESH as well. And Cobra also one of most competitive tier 9 mediums too.

[@kingderpington6082]

would experimental turbo, new experimental aiming device and like bond vents be good on this tank? Like to address the speed, some of the dispersion, and the accuracy/aim time?

Well, I guess the Patton seems to be the better tank out of the two. It's a fun tank. Except when you have two Pattons on a team = insta lose.

[@Donanzador]

The accuracy isn't great, but not bad enough that I would bother with using improved aiming or the new experimental aiming, especially with such bad dispersion factors. Vert. stabs is definitely the way to go IMO.

[@fatherguse9019]

.. lol .. that is some arty aim time there .. slooooooooow dial up ..

[@NINEWALKING]

it is literarily turret of GSOR1008 TD with two aerodynamic plates on it and hull of the Tier VIII heavy slapped together. They didn't even bothered to change looks of the gun but they have just slapped stats of Centurion 7/1 on it minus gun handling and DPM. There are no advantages. That turret is not good. Gun handling either and speed is awful. So best about it is that it is slightly better than Patton the Prank.

[@gregoryholtorf7874]

The Cobra's HESH is different because it does more damage

I feel that you are being way too harsh on the tank, as you were looking for anything negative rather than a neutral stance on the tank.
