After struggling with missed shots with the 277, (which is always reviewed as one of the best tech tree tanks), I decided to grind the most accurate gun I could find. Then having filled up my swearbox using the Grille 15, I realised perhaps the grass wasn't greener, and went back to the 277

[@georgekn3mp]

Grille loves killing dirt clods. Not tanks...

[@Eshelion]

Well, if you're looking at dispersion as accuracy, no wonder you are disappointed.

[@nkzeta2315]

Truth being told, WG accuracy system is utter garbage. But then again it wouldn't be WoT without it's delicious "Bullshit RNG cake".

[@PuddingCh]

the 277 was my first ever Tier 10 tank, and despite some of its shortcomings (like the bloody gun depression and inability to sidescrape unless the enemy is a muppet) I have quite a soft spot for it

[@solyomandras]

Hi Max! I had exactly the same feeling with the 60TP. The gun on paper has 0.33 accuracy, but in reality it is a LOT WORSE, at least for me.

[@soulbrothers7789]

60tp is total crap

[@ammarfv6366]

I always joke with my brother that there must be a hidden luck status for the guns in this game, even if some guns have 0.3 acurecy which is very good they seem some times to miss fully aimed shots alot and the 277 is one of these

[@kuhluhOG]

World of Warships has a stat which determines how likely it is for shells to go into the middle of its dispersion called sigma value, but you also can't really influence the dispersion in this game. But I sometimes have the feeling that WoT has a similar value.

[@Sol-hd7pz]

@@kuhluhOG For sure theres hidden stats we dont have access to beyond softs stats

These kinds of guides are always appreciated max! Would really love to see my fav tanks in one of these for sure, with these videos this channel is a must watch for every WoT player, both upcoming and seasoned players would definitely get something helpful out of this. As always thanks for the upload! 🍻

[@TheRealMerl]

Hi Max, I always enjoy your content mate, and I 100% agree with you about 277. Also, if you're looking for an idea which tank to review, might I suggest the 260? It feels to me like absolutely nobody makes any content about it

[@Milkydrink_]

You need the gunner from the KV-2 as they can hit anything from anywhere seemingly with only the vaguest concept of pointing the gun at the target.

[@bohemainprivate8032]

nice vid cheers

[@wazuma]

Thanks for the vid, I was mostly decided to obj. Over the E5. But now I'm sure the E5 is a better choice

[@epic4dead]

nice video done

[@lordganimer883]

277 I feel like is the best tech tree heavy currently. I 3-marked it on my second account some time ago and honestly, I can't remember the gun misbehaving too much (equipment: Hardening/Stabs/Rammer). It liked derping around sometimes, but all in all, I still found it to be one of the better guns on a tier 10 heavy, mainly because the 340 HEAT-rounds are just that good. Also, for the 7th field mod I took the second option, which makes the gun handling better and sacrifices top-speed, because A) I don't think this tank has the engine power to get up to top speed anyway (I might be wrong about this, not sure), B) I wanted the gun handling to be as good as possible without having to equip 🤮vents🤮 (Hardening superiority; Hardening, or even better, Experimental Hardening, is a must-have on this tank, makes it sooo much more comfortable to play because more track-HP), and C) on the second setup I equipped a turbo instead of Stabs anyway, for CW and maps where I actually really need to be in position fast enough.

[@EmilDragonul]

why 277 and not is4, is4 have better ammo, better armour.....good accuracy and a lot of riccochet and hold in place line? if you can explain please...many players use this in campaigns , can you explain with respect please?

[@lordganimer883]

@@EmilDragonul because the 277 is faster, that's why (and it also has more alpha damage). To shine is todays meta a tank needs to have as many things as possible out of these 6 (in this order): Good turret armor (hullarmor is somewhat irrelevant), speed, good gun depression, good penetration, high alpha damage and decent gun handling. The 277 has 4.5 of those things; Good turret armor, Speed, good penetration and good gun handling (alpha damage is decent, but not really on the "high" end of the spectrum, that's why I give it 0.5 points). The IS-4 has only 3 of those things; good turret armor, good penetration and good gun handling. That's why it isn't considered to be a meta-tank and is a much less popular pick for CW.

[@chillshock2144]

I kind of loved the t-10 when first leveling up and was very confused about the 277 not really feeling any stronger. Somehow the gun on the t-10 is soooo much nicer. But still, 277 is one nice tank, even if I do prefer others.

[@OldFartGaming2023]

Great Review - It is one of the best Tech Tree Hvys out there! Keep it up!

[@eeiko321]

What’s your thoughts on IS4 Vs 277?

[@OldFartGaming2023]

@@eeiko321 I'll take the 277 just b/c of its versatility. Has more pluses in more columns than the IS4 in my humble OFG opinion

[@eeiko321]

@@OldFartGaming2023 heya champion, thank you for your reply and I’m glad I chose the 277. I’ve found that it has a wicked canon, ok armor and not being slow… it’s less miserable to use.. I’ve been doing well with it. However, my main issue is that I’m suffering from lag with poor internet.. swapping a provider soon… and I noticed that when a player lags, everything from the enemy seems to penetrate and my own shots decrease in penetration. It’s frustrating. I encountered an issue where I was side scraping an IS4 In close proximity in a city map.. and I couldn’t pen it and ultimately lost. Not sure if it was lag induced or is that normal when these two tanks meet?

[@OldFartGaming2023]

@@eeiko321 Have you tried lowering your graphics settings in game?

[@eeiko321]

@@OldFartGaming2023 appreciate the suggestion. I haven’t played around with it too much. Because the issue/lag that’s occurring happens during evenings… between 6:00pm and 11:30pm… outside of those times, it’s smooth sailing.. I’ve mainly tried to do speedtests and during the problem period, I’ve seen it as low as 0.9mbps - 1.3mbps.. and outside of those times…when it’s ok, the upload speed is around 22mbps. I’m changing provider soon as the latency is unreliable during peak. So with is4 Vs OBJ277 in a brawl situation is the obj277 at a disadvantage (as in, it needs to be careful/kinda like being a lower Tier Vs a higher tier) or is it a worthy with taking it on?

[@GuitarJawn]

MS-1 tank guide, Thanks

[@georgekn3mp]

I have started the T-10 grind to 277, only about 140k XP to go. Good thing T-10 is very good too!

[@chadthomas5569]

I wanna love my 277 so bad it’s a good looking tank and when rng is on your side it’s amazing but that doesn’t happen often the gun screws me in 90 percent of my matches it’s crazy

[@KOS762]

we use 277 as a group push in Advances. Everyone uses different setups, but we need the 277 to be as fast as possible. Long range engagements don't happen much in Advances. The reason we keep both AP and HEAT in the tank... is that there are times when the tank your fighting has side skirts, and HEAT has no chance of doing damage, so we must switch to AP to be effective, or your going to get killed. Most of us have turbos, but I don not... I focused on gun handling, like you do, and reload time. So vents, rammer, and stabs, w/ Smooth ride directive. At close range, the stabs seem useless, but it keeps my reticle smaller when firing on the move. I do enjoy the 277, but not at first.

[@eladbenhamo5118]

gun handling is pretty good on the 277 its the aim time whats make it feel bad and u decrease it by 10% further with field mods i wouldent recommend touch the field mods with +4 fowards speed this 5% aim time impact the gun massively

[@koichiLove.]

When i play obj 277 i feel great overall unless i fire the Gun…

[@samuelbailey8126]

This and the WZ-111-5A kinda end up being the same tank, except the 277 has smaller weakspots on it's turret and the 5A gets a little more gun depression which is why I prefer the 5A, but I know the 277 is more competitive for most people. I'm just a scrub and the gun depression makes the tank more comfortable for me

[@soulbrothers7789]

Can't decide what to buyfirst IS 4 or Obj 277 have money for only one now, and both unlocked. Maxi boyy helpp

[@tboneisgaming]

It's the gun that put me off the 277. No prizes for guessing which tank I had to play in clan wars without a chieftain, 907 or 279e in my garage 🙄. I prefer the 5A for its handling. My first tier 10 was the E5. I still have a soft spot for it. It's just out classed by the S Conq

[@camrenwick]

I use HP boost, V-stab and rammer on this tank

[@nojoojuu]

So with 2 skill crew and no mods it's not worth playing...? We casuals should play tier 4 only.

[@IAmJadedJM]

There might be a new upcoming JP HT line with better gun handling and mobility than this line.

[@kizzzit5724]

Just curious have your tried replacing stabs with a aiming device ? I don't have this tank but Ive noticed on some of them the aiming device seems to work better than stabs . where the bad gun handling is concerned..

[@mastersanada]

As far as my experience goes (I've 3 marked the tank as well if that is any credibility), Vert stabs should be enough for the gun to perform consistently. Not going to disagree with the vents, but I think in most scenarios you are better off with survivability module (Hardening or experimental equip) or with Turbo (because one of the strengths of the 277 is its speed). I think it's a playstyle preference whether you prefer vert stabs/aiming, and vents/HP/Turbo.

[@EmilDragonul]

sorry for asking but why do you call this a metatank if can be penned hard even from tier 8....front armour under 200pen....??? thanks

Maxgamingfps, can you advise, is the is4 a better overall tank in your experience than the obj277?

[@MaxGamingFPS]

They are completely different tanks tbf

[@eeiko321]

@@MaxGamingFPS heya, could you explain in your words (since your our mentor) a bit more when comparing the two? I know the most obvious… eg 277 more nimble, bit more of a potent cannon…. But less HP and armour than Is4. More of a support tank and a bit more all rounder/versatile… (hence why I’m seeing more people would prefer this tank instead?) Is4 - takes more of a beating but much slower.. more suited for city/closer combat brawls. Well I ended up pulling the trigger and buying the 277…but yesterday was in a match in Pilsen at the factory and ran into a Is-4 we were side scraping each other and it seem I couldn’t compete with it, even with HEAT.. couldn’t really run as we were losing and I was cornered. What’s your advice in that scenario for these two tanks?

There is such a thing, "a secret development that was accidentally created by the Lekhs from factory number 437". Working name "Didanium". 1) When smelting armor steel, it is necessary to add several "medals and orders" to the molten metal. 2) This "alloy" must be used only on machines with a "digital value" in the name (for example, IC 7) 3) "Buff" works very randomly, but most often "works in critical situations". 4) It is established that, "Buff" additionally adds: 150 mm to armor, 300% to the strength of internal modules, and also creates an "anomalous field", which in turn changes the trajectory of enemy projectiles. 5) The only problem is that the archive of plant number 437 was completely destroyed due to the negligence of the employees.😂😂😂

​@@KingTheShepherdThis is an "old tank joke", which is only at the beginning of the launch of the game in the CIS region. It was expressed by the chief designer of the balance department, who, in turn, loved to play on the IS 7 tank. Under the nickname "SeRB". To the question: "Why exactly Is 7, it is almost impossible to kill?" Then he answered yes, officially, on the website, point by point. This answer was on the official page of "VG" for only one day, but it briefly shook the then tank community.
