B-C 25t buff changes EVERYTHING

In the upcoming update 1.26 B-C 25t is finally getting buffed! I tried the new version on the test server and in this video I will share my opinion on the changes.

[@0liver1408]

5:19 Patch 9.18 was released in April 2017 and somehow everyone seems to forget about it. The "new" MM 3/5/7, T10 Lights, rebalancing of basically EVERY existing light in the game, more HD models, SPG rework, Stun mechanic and reusable consumables... That patch was garbage but the biggest one nonetheless

[@baohungle5410]

So it has been 8 years since the MM got changed. No wonder why it's so fcking outdated now. There are many times when I play with my T57 HT, loading in Malinovka as a single top-tier HT against tier 8s, and then I saw an S.Conq on the other side. Oh well, I can't tell everyone to find a bush and hide. So the S.Conq had the most chilled farm ever on the hill while I was trying to snipe as a top-tier HT. It's just so fcking ridiculous.

[@Longdn00]

Iyouxin specifically said "the biggest patch in this decade", which is definitely not as far back as 2017

[@chris_hisss]

That don't matter. What they are doing as CCs are driving clickbait keywords to drive up views and engagement in order to bring back older players and get people hyped again. You will see those key words on most of all of the videos in your algorithm of suggestions. Buffing the batchat is huge to us older players that have a lot of strong memories associated with what many of us considered as the best tank in WOT for a long time.

[@iyouxin]

Has it already been 7 years 😭

[@iyouxin]

I don't do it on purpose. I think I'm just stupid to make a statement like that with proper research. Poor organisation 🥺

[@suppythecat]

Hoping WG to buff ammo capacity on some tanks like Manti, T-10, IS-7, IS-4 And removing unnecessary modules like the 2nd gun on Cent 7/1 or the 2nd & 3rd gun on WZ-120

[@Peacemania]

IS-7 doesn't need more ammo it needs more ramming speed.

[@gonozal8_962]

@@iyouxinwell yes, but for a lot more credits though. for players without a good premium tank and without a Tier X credit clan booster clan, that’s expensive. speed governor was better as it was different from lend-lease oil, not just more money=more bonus like it is now

[@Struncky]

I'm an old player, and I'm so happy to see the batchat being relevant again, I was sad to see its decline and the fact that it disappeared from competition compared to new tanks

[@motonut4503]

Same batchat lorr 40t and char futur 4 are my fav tanks in the game per tier, batchat has just felt so outdated

[@jm5667]

24 MINUTES? i could have watched this kind of gameplay for 8 hours lol

[@russianyoutube]

I'm surprised by the WoT community, when WG release an op tank everybody complains about it being op, when they release a normal tank everybody complains about it being too weak lol

[@garysymons2578]

Been waiting a long time for this buff. Batchat was my first tier X, but it was just so badly power crept by more accurate auto loaders, with faster intraclip loading that it was hard to justify playing it. Tank looks really good now, although that long reload may be a problem with the current meta of ultra short games. Otherwise, this is what the Batchat should have been all along.

[@Monique-iz8lp]

Definitely a huge improvement, though I was kinda hoping for an optional 3 shot gun, or reducing mag size to 4. It's still very inflexible with how fast matches can be.

[@skyleonidas9270]

Nah the whole point of the BC is the potential for huuge clips

[@zeroyuki92]

I respectfully disagree. Batchat is a batchat because of its huge magazine. Changing it to three or four mag gun would just make it into a slower burst Skoda or a less flexible Progetto. The Outpost battle that Iyouxin shown is the perfect showcase for Batchat: It is a late game assasin. Conserve HP until mid game while helping vision control, assist teammates as damage multiplier, stay alive and keep moving while looking for oportunities. Once late game, you can use your HP to one-clip assasinate tanks one by one while using speed to control engagement so your trade could be effective. That large mag IS important for this role so it can finish most tanks it can meet in a duel. Would reducing its mags resulting in a much easier and better tank for general use? Maybe, but it won't be a batchat anymore. Managing clip and utilizing that long reload for positioning has always been the essence of batchat gameplay, and I don't want the buff to change that core identity.

[@Jules-kp7rw]

Play a TVP or a 13 105. We want variety, not all tanks to be meta clones. This buff raises the skill ceiling of the tank without changing its essence and is still a very significant improvement.

[@motonut4503]

Hell no dude clip size is what makes it the batchat the whole bread and butter is the loader

[@motonut4503]

Play the tvp that sounds more like what your talking about brother

[@eryklande4369]

Amount of luck you got on Outpost map is just incredible. So many shots could have obliterated you... GJ, Iyouxin, I love every minute of your high-level commentaries!

[@didrasrc9219]

As a light tank gamer you can do insane amounts of combined damage, I think the buffs will make BC one of the hardest 3rd mark tanks in the game

[@justmachima5629]

Nice video, I don't play world of tanks myself but love watching your gameplay.

[@moorheals]

Map changes always go the same way with WG. I'm sure they all sit around a desk and ask the question "How can we change the map's to screw over TD players" it's the same every map update, changes always in favour of HT players. The sad thing is a lot of players only play TD's to try and have a chance of penning the OP HT's.

[@Luca.5k]

man i am so hyped i started the grind like a month ago without knowing it would be buffed and now that im at tier 9 they announce buffs :)

[@kingstoler]

Batchat needed some love. This is going to make it competitive again.

[@jannek5757]

Is this the FIRST EVER buff to BatChat?

[@visevice7751]

Yes it is...

[@motonut4503]

Yessir im batchat main been praying for this forever its felt so outdated especially with all the tier 8 9 10 deep HE GUNS you go up against now.

Go for it!

[@sagichnicht8870]

I missed the Livestream. Nice to see this video. Thx dude

[@Jaysin999]

I love the gun, it definitely helps not having to put so much gun handling equip bcuz i think i did have vents and improved aiming, then turbo. The ammunition size def needed a boost bcuz there were games where i would support heavies, but then quickly run out bcuz im clipping heavies and they can eat a lot more😢. I tried to play the bc as a situational brawler, much like how u would play some more armored meds.

[@adrianzoto6435]

awesome news, i have over 3k battles in bc, and 50 ammo is huge

[@jeffreyleatherman334]

I'm super excited about the buff to the Bc 25 T it will be worth playing now. Also the K91 and it's fully traversable turret and all the other buffs coming to other tanks. Great changes.

[@martinp.269]

Changelog 1.26: Average games now reduced to 2 min instead of 3 min

[@chris_hisss]

HUGE BUFF! That is exciting. You know the first T10 I wanted 10 years ago was the Batchat? It was indeed my first. I didn't play it though because I wasn't aware enough to make it work I didn't feel like. So i just never bought it. I bought 140 first maybe? I did eventually play it at some point but handling was so bad! I ran GLD and vents and Vstab it was that bad, but so was I. lol I know, people were always pretty brutal about my bad choices if they saw. I still achieved 57% in 81 games. Sold it though. Looks like I will be needing to buy it back, hope they keep these stats. Great replays and commentary!

nice, I have BC25t and never got it to work. Looking forward to play the changes!

[@Daskard]

So now the Bat Chat has 15 shells more than the FV 215b heavy (aka the aircraft carrier), which is 4 times as big? Nice.

[@Lone_Wolf_91]

The Batignolles-Châtillon Char 25T, also known as the Bat-Chat, is a French medium tank that is 5.67 meters long, 3.16 meters wide, and 2.37 meters high. FV215b aka Heavy Tank measured 25 feet (7.62 meters) long - not including the gun, 13.1 feet (3.99 meters) wide and 11 feet (3.35 meters) tall. It weighed 65 long tons* (66 tonnes) You were quite close, ~43m3 vs 103m3 is almost 2.5 times "bigger".

[@Daskard]

@@Lone_Wolf_91 You, I like you :D

[@djjam4340]

So that's why this tank feels different when I play with it, I managed to hit 4 out of 5 shells lately before it's like 2 out 5. I wish they also buff StandardB & Progetto 65, those 2 are suffering right now.

[@greggo34]

great video info, got my Bat chat 25t last night but I'm using the 100mm gun. will wait for patch to get free Main gun

[@andreighetu9376]

Regarding the gun handling, if will go live like this, it remembers me about buffs and nerfs of AMX M4 54 😅 Have a feeling that will buff and nerf 3 times in a year... i mean the buff right now, with these stats, it will be powerful.

[@fadaclem1747]

As a french I'm very excited about this new BC 25t. It looks amazing. Thank you iyouxin 😍

[@Battlefly1]

As I can see it the problem was never the gun handeling. It was rather the reload time especially now when fast games are common. Sure the increase in ammunition is nice but I think the main problem is still the reload time.

[@kenmcmurray4006]

I didn't put full bond gear on mine as I don't play it as much, but looking forward to the exp turbo, bounty IAM and Vents (vents may change) to see how it goes. The increase in ammo alone makes the tank more playable, giving it some gun handling will only make it more seemless. It will be another shitbarn session as so many baddies will be getting back into their BC's...

Bat Chat 😍 The return of a king? Sounds too good to be true - and looks like i have to brush of the Dust of my bat chat! 😊

[@khanhhangtrinh3962]

I think the extra ammo and reduced aim time would be enough to get it back into the meta. The current buffs would be a bit redundant! (By the way, I got my 3rd BC-25 marker a few months ago, that journey was really emotional!)

[@Longdn00]

Yeah this seems kinda strong, gun handling on the test server is quite close to the tvp at least with regards to how it's able to fully aim between shots even at long range with full spotting build. Kind of similar to the TVP in a way, which is scary

[@KalLanPIDT]

I already love the BC, this is gonna be awesome!

[@zzHoo-c9g]

[@leonidascarranza7893]

This changes is so nice, but this tank need practice, the gun elevation and depresion some times is a little uncomfortable when you go full speed

How is dispersion after firing being calculated? Are they taking away 25% of the radius of the circle or 25% of the area of the circle?

8:03 amount of HP of the enemy team

[@errtik418]

This is too much. The way to do it is : - Increasing ammo to only 40 - Limiting the gun traverse dispersion improvement to 18 % instead of 38 % (who the fuck thought it was a good idea to give 2 Vstabs for free to a fucking autoloader ???) - Not touching dispersion at 100m (YES, keep it 0.38 !) and keeping dispersion after firing AS IT WAS as well. You were dreaming about a fucking Char Futur 4 with 5 shells and true burst potential at 400m ? WG is thinking about doing it right there... I hope that BC buff does not hit the live server as it is on the test server, or we are gonna have some M4 54 syndrom going on, and WG will nerf it after a few months anyway. Same for K91 : a fully traversable turret is the only improvement it needs. Buffing its dpm while it already is the best dpm med in the game is just plain stupid. My 2 cents.

[@inlovewithgoats1092]

Respectfully disagree in some parts: 50 shell capacity is a good change. Running out of ammunition as a balancing factor shouldn't be a thing. Gun handling buffs might be a little extreme, yes. On the other hand I'm not sure how well the old sit-and-aim playstyle of the batchat can really still work. I don't think this will be anything like am 54. That thing got op because it was easy to play: the laser gun was backed up by enough armour to make mistakes. No matter how much you buff gun handling, most batchat players will still die after their first clip

[@mihaivo_]

Balancing tanks through low ammo count is dumb.

[@errtik418]

@@mihaivo_ That is your opinion (not supported by any argument), mine is different on the matter. BC 25t is an opportunistic assassin that should be pushed to get in close range (hence the derpy gun) and calculate the risk involved in going in for a full clip, not a fucking Char Futur 4 that could blindly and accurately dump 3 to 4 clips per battle from 400m, with a true burst potential. Why do you think they balanced out the Char Futur 4 with 32 rounds (that is only 2 more rounds compared to a BC 25t, and nobody is complaining about it, thanks to the gun accuracy and the playstyle), with only 4 rounds per clip and 4 seconds intra-clip reload ? This what they are going to negate with 1.26 if this BC 25t buff hits the live server as it is, and trust me : you will feel how much better a 30 rounds BC was for tier X balance. Anyway...

[@mihaivo_]

@@errtik418 I don’t need any argument to tell you that balancing through ammo is dumb. Some tanks need the extra ammo. Char Futur rarely runs out of ammo due to long clip reload time and flash games which are getting shorter by the day.

[@errtik418]

@@mihaivo_ WTF ?! The clip reload time on both tanks is EXACTLY the same at 39.16 secs base, even though the shell count - therefore the dpm - is in favor of the BC.
