Is This Holliday Box Tank A Game Breaker?

[@matthewandrews9052]

Thanks for all you do Claus. Appreciate your work. Here is $20 towards buying boxes to unlock this beast and dominate on the battlefield! 👍🏻

Actually Claus only got 14$, you forget youtube's cut (30%) And if you you pay on an iphone/ipad, apple grab another 30%. Claus would be better off if you bought one of his shirts.

[@matthewandrews9052]

@ I bought a world of muppits shirt before. Yes I realize Claus doesn’t get 100% but if enough people cheer/thank him maybe he buys some boxes and gets this tank. Thanks.

RNG and the matchmaker mean the whole game is gambling. Every time you click the battle or fire button, you're gambling whether WG will allow you to win a game.

[@cb3391]

Truth and it's starting to get really old. I had a 9 game losing streak, last my mind because the same 3 unicoms, kept winning, just with different accounts. How could I tell? They can't change their play style. They stick together, always hit, always max damage, always can't see them, and your shots bounce, go stray , low damage. It's easy to find the game riggers if you look. That being said 1 Unicom talked me " down" So to speak. Ty. I dub thee " Weirdocom" 👉🎖

[@muskokamike127]

[@pokellector_nl6712]

so? why wonder.. theres more in life to wonder about belgium laws.. u sound dull AsF

[@DK_HAXX]

Its basically paying a set price for the tanks, and then the gamble comes into play, when RNG decides how much gold, premium and credits you get for that said price on top of the tank. Customer A doesnt get the same amount of resources than Customer B does. So its a Tank+RNG amount of resources.

[@robhunt9602]

I want to see a platoon of them unloading. Imagine several of these unloading at the same time.

[@gregkretchmer3588]

I watch this and remember when the OLD Pz1C showed up many years ago. They shoved it out there, mostly untested. The gun was supposed to be a 7.62 machine gun, but the tables actually used in calculating hits was for a 20mm or something like that. The table for speed was stubbed off so it was going 72 K an hour up or down hill almost instantly on any ground. A platoon of these things were limited only by how hard you were laughing. The result was much like watching this video, but zip to the back and auto locking some smuck and never let off the throttle as you circle and blow them to bits. They fixed it all, now its just another premium yawner nobody plays any more. Almost all the really fun tanks end up that way. If something is new and fun (see video), by the time I can earn one, they are the new tamed down dog...in just a few weeks, so I gave up.. even if you buy loot boxes, it is good (with luck) for a couple of weeks before being swept into the pile. I still love your videos.

[@WOTArtyNoobs]

Don't worry Claus - you were not alone with being ignored by Wargaming concerning the loot boxes. Even though I completed 10,000 videos, Wargaming ignored me too. I don't think they pay any attention unless you stream every day as Voldermort and Skill do. They could have invited you to help make the Christmas video with Jason Statham. I would have made an excellent Santa as I have the white beard and actually look like him, but no - Wargaming ignores us. Seems that our efforts are not recognized. That's sad.

[@m111kca4]

[@WOTArtyNoobs]

@@m111kca4 True, the fewer the viewers the more difficult it is to justify the investment of time and effort.

[@tuddrussell]

When I have a critical hit's mission to complete, I load HE and it increases the chances for me to get that mission done quicker. I also use HE to track bigger tanks so that team can get more hits on them.

Of all the WoT clown tanks and cars in the game the Czech Vz 68 Squall might be the closest to reality. It has about the same survivability as the M2 Bradley and the 50mm auto canon has stats close to the M242 25mm Bushmaster on the Bradley. We've seen it in action now and it shreds mediums and lights.

[@apachie3895]

Here's the thing about that tank. Even tho it's a light tank. The damage it puts out is crazy. Why even play high tiers tanks. When this one tank can kill you in a short time. The world of tanks is getting crazier. Getting to the point where the tree line tank is no longer worth getting beyond tier 5 or 6.

[@foseninfo8954]

It is not that easy to put damage out AND stay alive. It also gets spotted by better light tanks. It is not as good as you might think. But its fun to play.

[@sirtogii5216]

I am pretty sure at least in some jurisdictions, the definition of gambling includes a stipulation of possible negative outcome. Not that I want to defend WG in any shape or form but I think the bare minimum you can get from a box conforms to the price you would pay for those resources if you bought them individually. A Vegas analogy would be a slot machine that every time you put in a dollar it gave you a 1-2 dollar token for the hotel gift shop but also had a chance to give you a free dinner for 4 and guaranteed to do so every 50 spins. But sure, it's a grey zone and they cannot be sold in Belgium.

I mean thanks for showing us, I refute the boxes this year. Wargaming releases add on content that costs as much as anouther game or three. But where are new maps, modes, anti cheat improvements? Almost all my buddies that played this are on to different things.

[@koncorde]

They just dropped The Avenger at Tier X in Console and it's worse than this. 8k dpm or something insane. Admittedly only if penning 40mm or something - but that means only about 6 tanks are immune to it.

[@stevewebster5729]

I bought boxes in the past, but value for money is very very poor in that the tanks you, effectively, buy don't last in their as-acquired form for more than a few months, and then deteriorate to become pale shadows of their former selves. It's like paying £249 for an everlasting pork pie, only to find it's not very nourishing after a couple of months, and then goes green and nasty 😀

[@BigmanHaus]

Squalls, blesks and other fast firing things lag my game out. Sometimes my platoon members bring those just for me...

I had to watch this again. It's just unbelievable the damage it put out. Is this a tier 8 tank ? So a player plays his tier 6 or 7. How long will you survive against that tank? You won't ! Be dead in a snap of a finger. Totally crazy 😮
