Škoda T 56: Even Epic Tanks Have Bad Days in World of Tanks

[@watt4271]

"Even a good tank can have a bad day." That hits differently especially at: 18:40

[@atlasdgen]

18:39 the ping jumped up. That's literally happening in 50% of my games after the patch.

[@exp2tr10t]

Yup. Was holding the mountain pass in Lakeville. Wanted to go slightly forward, but the game sent me to ten hits and the garage this way. Not fun, but a game feature now!

[@Potatotenkopf]

Me too but any time I look up any potential reasons online theres like 4 reddit threads about how it's actually user side instead of Wargaming.

[@roozbehsadrolashrafi]

yeah right lol

[@Geeza-rc9kz]

Happened to me last night also and it got me killed

[@the_nameless2891]

Not the only one buddy, have had these issues since 1.23 released. Every other game and programm runs fine and has 0 connection issues with like 40-50ms ping and in wot i get a minimum of 80-90ms with some what consistancy, sometimes rarely i see it drop below that and it doesnt matter which EU server i use its like that on both and i also get atleast like 20massive spikes in a match where it gets up to 200+ ping and fairly often it disconnects and i have to reconnect

T56 and BZ-176 are basically tier 9 tanks

[@bradalloway3232]

I got it when it first came out. The honeymoon was awesome! And then all I got was tier 10 matchmaking. Like every game for many sessions. Sold it, never looking back.

[@Jeffro3780]

I've noticed this too... it's like wg saw how strong it is and changed its mm... I'm constantly in tier 10 games with it.

[@Mrborgir24]

@@Jeffro3780 Same. I love my 122 tm more because of this , at least with that vehicle I can on average get lower tiered opponents. Definitely hidden matchmaking they're not telling us about.

[@masterpanda2975]

Wenn man Geld machen will spielt man Ap 1 , wenn man Schaden machen will AP 2. Ich will Geld damit machen. Dann kann es schon passieren , das man voll ein gezielt , seitlich am EBR ( diverse andere Light)abprallt. Wenn ich Top Tier bin sind die Spiel meistens nach 2.-3 Min zu ende und ich gehe mit max 1500-2000Dmg nach Hause, weil Überrannt worden. Dann muss man zusätzlich zu den 3,5 Sek Intraklipp noch 3 Sekunden warten damit der 2 Schuss auch rein geht.If you want to make money you play AP 1, if you want to do damage play AP 2. I want to make money with it. Then it can happen that you hit a target that bounces off the EBR (various other lights) to the side. When I'm top tier, the game usually ends after 2-3 minutes and I go home with a maximum of 1500-2000 dmg because I was overrun. Then, in addition to the 3.5 second intraclip, you have to wait another 3 seconds for the second shot to go in

[@cinatiropel]

Not to be a smart-*ss but you can still play against tier 10s. 240 premium AP means that you can men most lower plates of tier 10 heavies, and 920 damage is still very significant at tier 10.

[@bradalloway3232]

@cinatiropel yes you can still play against tier 10. But that is all I got in the Matchmaker. If all I'm going to play against is tier 10 I might as well be playing with a tier 10 vehicle

7:33 the gun handling in a nutshell Is not that I hate it, I like the Skoda t56 but the gun handling fked me so much I started to hate it

[@friendlyreaper9012]

I use improved aiming and it actually helps. V stab, aiming and either turbo or hardening is a pretty solid setup tbh, especially if you aren't using food. I know that all the top tier unicums will tell you to use v stab, hardening and turbo cause that's literally all they ever use.

[@nade5610]

its not the internet i have the same problems. wg is busy pushing out lootbox event they dont have time to worry about server issues .

[@Peacemania]

Bought it. First game 4 Kills 4800 dmg. Felt like taking a walk.

[@perelmanych]

I see you liked to play against 6 tier tanks)) Wait and see the average damage for at least 10 sessions.

[@Peacemania]

​@perelmanych ~3100 after 28 games. Seems okay to me definetly improveable. Tier 10 games are tricky so far.

[@hubertovidiu]

First game, be a spectator, eat popcorn and saying that the team is bad, that the team is mealting, waiting for perfect shots ...

[@austinwelch1132]

with full gold this thing is insane. I generally play tier 8 for credits though, so I try to make the standard ammo work when possible. It's honestly insane how pivotal this tank can be to a flank though, especially in tier 9 and 10 matchmaking when you can be this nasty support vehicle.

[@johnnyrico9957]

"There are bad days and then there are EPIC bad days"

[@BabaNovac792]

Yup ,you had a 260 ping in the moment you had that lag - it happens and it's a bad moment. About the gun handling....I'm used to 1 out of 2 shells to hit....if I hit both shells its because I'm very close

[@DvdV1337]

The tank might be chzech, the gun is chinese.

[@juanjodpr]

BZ-176 really moved this tank down in the hierarchy of power st tier 8. It's still strong, with 460 alpha per shot, which is more than the tier 9 of this line, but the lack of pen and weak hull are definitely drawbacks. For those who don't have thw BZ-176, this isn't a bad choice by any means, it can still perform well, even in ultra fast games this thing can still secure 2-3k damage, just be aware of that cupola.

[@DIREWOLFx75]

The simple fact however, is that after the initial raves about how great both those tanks were, neither is actually all that common to see in play. Above average probably yes, but i can play 30 T8 games in a row without seeing even one of either. And seeing 2 or 3 in the same game, except for platoons, is actually not at all common. And i have both tanks and it's easy to see why. Both have superb POTENTIAL to do great. But most of the time, you don't even get a chance to exploit that potential. Either your team get curbstomped and you end up facing 5 enemies at once and get off one more shot before garage time, OR often even worse, your team is the one doing the curbstomping and you might never even see more than 2-3 enemy tanks and barely get any shots off before match is won. Essentially, both tanks are too slow for a lot of matches. Both tanks have good armor, except when people use gold or aim well or just get lucky. Both tanks have superb firepower potential, except when you miss or when you get those funny "no armor hit" on a AMX 12t and other BS or the RNG just says nope. And because of their reload times, if you have 2 reloads in a row with bad luck, after that the match may be over at worst. So yeah, they're "great tanks", except when they're not. Which is annoyingly often. I just checked my -176 record and yeah, after over 100 matches, i've STILL NOT had a truly great game with it. Best game topping out at just 3.7k dmg. T56 in comparison tops out at an at least halfdecent 5.3k with almost 300 higher average. And while i'm pretty poor in the BZ at just "better than 33% of players", in the T56 at least i'm "better than 55%" so above average. But it really shows how finicky both tanks can be. I've just had more average luck with the T56, and yet the difference is that big. And the variability between games tend to be very high for both tanks. With some tanks, it's easy to always "do ok", get a decent score reliably. These two tanks are absolutely not part of that category.

I have a great time in other similar tanks but I just can't make this one work and I really want to like it.

[@anthonyhowrard526]

have you tried different equipment? sometimes because you have a bad time in a tank it can make you pay worse if that makes sense. Try having a goal even it I it just to get 4 or 6 shots

[@AnandBabu-z6y]

Hi Skill. I started playing this game a month ago and im in love with it. And i learn a lot by seeing ur videos daily. Im willing to spend some cash like ~10k gold may be. So please suggest a best premium tank in the higher tiers. Currently i play on Tier 5. Looking forward to your response.😊

[@joe125ful]

I prefer OBJ-703-2 instead of T-56. Better armor,better ammo,better dpm,better gun handling..

[@patokonkoly3669]

Still people perform better in Skoda

[@DIREWOLFx75]

@@patokonkoly3669 The difference between them is not big though. And the variability at least for me is FAR higher in the T56. With the 703, i nearly always get a decent baseline dmg. But with the T56, it's always diceroll, good, bad or ugly, no matter how good or bad i play. 703 is WAY more dependable and reliable in my view.

3k average on a tier 8 is a bad day? Oh my bananas... This would be my good day :D

[@DIREWOLFx75]

There's a difference between players and players... My own average with the T56 is around 1.5k dmg/match or something. So yeah, 3k is definnitely a GOOD day. And that's "better than 55% of the players". Meaning that average for T56 is actually around just 1.4k dmg per match. Which isn't very amazing at all.

Actually T-832 statistically is totally meta :) Even better WR and DMG then 703. Also love it!

ah yes, the very famous non-meta tanks: Bisonte, TS-54 and T-832 ! Actually a good joke lmao

You just prefer hull down tanks. Nothing too crazy.

[@Razzoq]

It`s exactly the same for me.. When I face a BZ-176, Skoda T56 or 703II.. I don`t have a chance, but when I play these tanks.. 😂 everyone pens me without any problems into the weirdest ways, they can snipe my weakspots every time like no tomorrow. I just hate it, I have way better games with AMBT. And when I play this "broken" tanks like BZ and Skoada, rounds are ending after 4-5 minutes, every damn time. And only defeats btw..
