I Played with the NEW T 54D (I Hated It) | World of Tanks

[@doublehelix7880]

Patchnote: The T 54D has been assigned Premium status, meaning it now earns additional credits and XP, and can also earn bonds. It will be visually indicated as a Premium vehicle in game interfaces later. All players who received the vehicle before the patch release will receive 100 bonds, 300,000 credits, and 2 Personal Reserves for +300% to Free and Crew XP for 1 hour as compensation after server maintenance is complete.

[@user-or7om6je3k]

For all the guys with fomo out there. Remember that chieftain proto was also in boxes and became later available in the shop. It's not worth it to gamble. You will be anyway able to buy the t54d later on if you want it.

[@JayI]

Tier 9 premiums work like the 'old' Tier 8 premiums of the day. Remember when Tier 8 premium tanks back in the day were like the Tier 8 Tech Tree tank but with some of the stock modules? Except now they make you gamble for this bullshit.

[@awsblacknight6956]

Good and bad? I’d rather this than more BZ’s

[@berrywarmer11]

Yeah. Some of them are okay though! Obj 752 from the last lootbox round has something fairly unique to offer (T9 Russian Heavy with an autoloader) and turned out to be a good tank.

[@joaoguilherme9034]

​@@berrywarmer11yeah, the obj 752 is good and fair because of the giant cupola and eh disperssion, tiger maus is e75 level, both fair and fun tanks to play and play against

[@Nishkow]

-5 degrees of gun depression on this tank makes it easy to pass this lootbox event.

[@n10tkey1]

-5 degrees of gun depression = 5 degrees of gun elevation. Get it right. It's either "5 degrees of gun depression" or "-5 degrees of gun elevation"

[@pepega-sama102]

Imagine not liking a tank because you lack gun depression. That’s just called skill issue my friend lmao

[@xKochiMix]

Thats a skill issue

Sa fact

[@stancanadmapleleaf]

Bro think t55a t54 have -14 😂😂😂

[@beforesunsetboxing6017]

8:10 - that hilarious moment when two tanks with no gun depression meet on a slight slope.

[@jonathanvl1160]

Aesthetically I think this thing looks amazing I've always wanted a T54 with spaced armor, such a shame they offered it via lootboxes

[@FreQ_97]

This tank is actually good for premium IX standards. Gun is much better than it is presented in skill's video. Armor works most of the time. U have nice Shell velocity and penetration and u can trade well with other mediums due to fact u have 390

[@FreQ_97]

If u can afford it and u love how IT looks then u can gamble for IT. Drop rate (at least for me) was good. Ive bought 50 boxes whille missing 3 tanks and got all of them.

[@pinhead5392]

That 752 in the ruinberg map is just a lucky bastard, if i were to hit a cupola like that even with a leo 1 or s conq gun i swear rng keep fucking me up

[@FreQ_97]

Lets all keep that on mind that 752 gun can be very trollish. One battle u can't hit anything and another battle u can hit every snap shot u could only dream about

[@Balc0ra]

18:00 It's listed as a premium on the event page, but not in game. So yeah, they messed up... again. Tho on Discord they have said it will be fixed "soon"

[@EB-Coucou]

Hello Skill. On yesterday, the first day of issue on regular accounts, T54D was just a "reward" vehicule (no credits, no obligs) but today (15th March), that has been corrected and T54D is now a normal premium tank (with credits and obligs). It was just a muistake from WG. Additionnally, it seems that the T54D is HEAT-proof with its spaced armor, but not so much armored against APCR or even good AP.

[@ThelvaldCam]

It seems like a super Pershing and the 122tm had a baby and it was given coffee at a young age so it didn't grow up tall.

[@warp103]

nope someone not the daddy both have way better guns lol

[@MrBoldom]

There will be an update where the Prem status of the Tank gets fixed (wg said on Discord)

[@clivedinosaur8407]

That's probably what's going to happen as some of the gun dispersion values are due to be changed between CC access and general release.

[@richman2601]

WG moving the forum to discord is pretty cringe

[@thegymteachersgrandma]

I think im gonna stick to T55A....

[@little_berry3508]

Yea, without credit making ability, t55a is better in almost every way

[@m_swizzy22]

T 55A is a beast, I didn’t play it for ages I played it even before the buffed it’s gun, I was able to get like 3.8k average damage and 1k assist consistently! Anything that resembles the OG T-54 is a beast of a tank. Edit: except for the T-54D(aka Dogpoop)

[@theothertrincul7087]

all that lootbox money for a mid tank :D

[@Misimpa]

Because people missed bz176 and someone would not miss any tanks after that 😂

[@aries_23_hltm]

Another CC said that they'll buff dispersion values (0.22 moving and rotating vehicle, 0.14 rotating turret)

[@warp103]

true As a CC I know but it still shit lol

[@jerkythebeef8653]

They should never have taken gold out of the loot boxes. It waas the main selling point imo

If your tank doesn't have gun "depression", then it you who has is.

[@celebvoncelebrus4429]

25:23 - I was looking for the T9 standard meds comparison after the last game - unlucky :( But I guess it's better than Patton Tank, Bonus Tank (430-II) and maybe the obj 283

Bekanntgabe zur Einstufung und Vergütung des T 54D ersten Prototyp: Dem T 54D wurde der Premium-Status hinzugefügt, was bedeutet, dass er jetzt zusätzliche Kreditpunkte und EP erhält und auch Anleihen verdienen kann. Es wird später in den Spieloberflächen auch optisch als Premiumfahrzeug angezeigt. Alle Spieler, die das Fahrzeug vor der Veröffentlichung des Patches erhalten haben, bekommen als Entschädigung nach Abschluss der Serverwartung 100 Anleihen, 300.000 Kreditpunkte und 2 persönliche Reserven für +300 % Freie EP und Besatzungs-EP für 1 Stunde. Ein weiterer Mikropatch wird das Fahrzeugsymbol reparieren. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten und danken für euer Verständnis.

[@deadzeddicious3684]

This tank reminds me of the 274a or Obj 430. I personally medium-heavies. When youre a medium tank whi can help the heavies, its great. I dont like the opposite. When a heavy tank does have armor (like Strv K, T-10) i feel like the heavy lines suffer. At least the medium role is universal.

[@przemeklewandowski7476]

This is new low for WG with these emerald lootboxes: you pay for useless crap and if you are "lucky" you get some old premium tanks, a lame reskins (forest spirit, alembic) or just simply bad tier 9 premium medium that is not even a premium. Reseting server during day is just a cherry on top...

[@luk4sz98]

FYI: This tank will be premium (WG Discord) and it will have buff for gun handling

[@animalsoul444]

wow WG again could not bring out a finished product ?

[@justanomaly3338]

Bad gun (values and performance) and no gun depression -- on a medium -- means no sale. Easy decision.

[@RedXlV]

This isn't really a medium, it's a heavy tank that has a medium icon.

[@pringu46]

Always an honest review by Skill.

[@johnfarscape]

The tanks fine, played 50 games in it so far, and got almost exactly the same averages as my T54, which is one of my favourite tanks, its pretty much equal to the tech tree tank, just a bit different, which is exactly where the premium tanks should be.

[@davidballantyne4492]

So weirdly the game was patched already (afternoon on the 14th) to make it earn credits n bonds, but it will not be fixed to show as premium until sometime tomorrow.

[@julienstrelow2653]

I think the soft stats of the gun got buffed.

[@warp103]

not enough to matter

[@MrJoeGarner]

I got this tank, first game I had 2239 damage, 3 kills and a win! It has its moments, thus far I love it! I just looked, it is a Premium tank.

[@T51B1]

Looks like T9 heavium tank, like T9 version of super pershing or iron arnie

[@zanaton1989]

It's the same shit as Iron Arnie, only that his weak points were covered more and a Tier 8 from the front won't be able to hit him unless he has 330 penetration.

[@wentianhe5195]

WG's effort of getting money from player's pocket is crazy

[@BasicKnight]

that lower plate is insane thick 😮

[@ELMANTEC]

Skill, you need at least 50 games before to rate the tank properly! ;)

[@zenflight2450]

Great video btw. I think it is comparable to Kapazander, although KPZ is better in every way.

[@cokezerocalories]

holy shit a tank with weakspots i love it please continue this.

this tanks is a tier nine t-34-3... and should be played as such. vents, turbo, experimental turbo level 3.. will make this a winner...

Hey skill how do you have over 445m view range? i run this with vents and max vr crew and cant get 445

[@ItsMeMars]

WG said on discord it will fix the premium status in a patch, not a premium right now but it will be

[@matijacizmar9372]

If you want a decent t9 medium with armor use E50 instead it is a beast.

[@veoa416]

I don't dislike it. The gun depression is tough to play around but mobility isn't too bad and apart from the depression values, I love the gun for a tier 9 tbh.

[@westgate8797]

honestly .. I cant even remember if they added any premium tier 9 vehicle that actually was worth the money :)

[@AntzWar]

Think WG better make sure the T 54D makes extra credits if they state it is a premium tank, player base already seems unimpressed by this lootbox event

[@oxyvadas]

In fact - you can drown in Karelia xD

[@alchemist8]

Bald skill4ltu cosplaying T54D - epic cosplay bro.

[@bikedoc4145]

They put out a statement that the micro patch turned it into a premium and they made a mistake

[@burningbeard]

i spend the extrodinary amount of 4.5 euros just to gamble the T54D, because i ''love'' the looking of all type T54/T55. Of course i didn't receive any tank from those 5 boxes. We and WG need to rethinking why do we call the different tanks (premium, souvenir, collector) this way?

[@baohungle5410]

Looks like WG had too much vodka recently. Bug with the 452K, now bug with this thing. They're pushing unfinalized contents wtf??? When balancing is okay, they mess up something else. Doing a bad job is like a habit for them now. Ridiculous.

But every time a new prem comes out and is not straight up OP all the CCs are kinda just crying, despite the looks of the armor that has actuall weakspots, balanced mobility to armor ok ish gun and a gun depression that isnt contributing to the hull down meta everyone of CCs seem to hate.
