Playing the Most POPULAR T5s in World of Tanks!

[@villelepoaho4105]

I really miss the old ELC AMX with the 90 mm gun and better mobility. Driving next to a Soviet heavy tank usually meant that they couldn't even shoot you back because you were so low to the ground.

[@strategicmind2652]

Fun thing is the AMX ELC Bis actually had HEAT shells with around 320 pen in real life

[@onepunman2744]

That tank was my highest percentage tank back in the day and it was so fun to be a little gremlin...

[@Zt3v3]

Yeah, the mobility is really sad now. It was so much fun back in the day.

[@theraven7109]

Omg absolutely I miss that

[@GerardMenvussa]

I was not really a fan of the locked turret though. It might be closer to the real thing, but it was zero fun for me back then.

[@FRMaverick6]

Stug is popular cause it's fairly good for a free to play player. Its gun has very good accuracy and good penetration, so it's a good choice for someone who doesn't spam gold. Which is something QB didn't take into account

[@OGBootleg]

You'd think when he goes on so much about his free to play account, he'd understand that some tanks are good to play for free...

[@Swindondruid2]

Very decent cammo too, as QB found out. Accurate gun with good pen, good cammo makes for a decent TD. I still play mine occasionally.

[@OchaFauzan01]

I find su85 to be much better to play than stug iii though

[@EltonJonno]

For it’s tier it’s basically a tech tree E25

[@benmaher9537]

Its also got excellent gun arc. If you compare it to something like an ARL V39.

The StuG III is probably popular simply due to how (in)famous it is.

[@raimuu14]

Please play arty at least for t6, there are some brilliant gems hidden in turd at that tier, especially the M44

[@petrameyer1121]

Come on QB STUG ammo was actually increased during the great rework. Also: you do not choose the STUG-Life, the STUG-Life chooses you! :)

[@XSharkdarkX]

StuG III was my first crush in WoT 10 years ago, love the mobility, accuracy, RoF and camo. It's a fantastic fun tank only drags down by low ammo capacity (use them well) and the famous motor destroyed when you take a shot in the transmission just behind the lower plate. I think your game sums up what's awesome about the vehicle !

[@pepega7312]

10 years ago when I started playing world of tanks I LOVED my stug. The combination of good mobility, fast-firing snappy gun, low profile made it very easy to love. Secondly, as far as I remember, back then this tank used to have decent armor since people ignored an option to shoot gold. It was also my first ever mark on any tank in the game :)

[@sURLyxx]

Hi QuickyBaby and chat - average StuG IIIG player here - I honestly don't know why I play it either but I just 3-marked it after being inspired by your game in this video ....LOL! Its got terrible reverse speed, engine breaks all the time, gets doubled tracked as well BUUTTTT....... I've got my camo up to 55% and my view range up to 455m with binocs, exhaust, vents and a good crew, so its sneaky and I've set some great scouting score on Malinovka etc. .... I had to spam a bit of gold and use chocolate to get the last mark but worth it haha! I do like my tier 8's an 9 (especially my lovely Tortoise) but with the low player numbers and high ping on the Asian servers I find myself coming back to an old Tier 5 favourite and now its got an extra bunch of rings on the Barrell (9-marked actually XD).

[@THEFIRE360]

i quite like the stug everything except the view range and ammo capacity is pretty good

[@daleogilvie3576]

21:07 stug iii g... it is the gun QB! Same long 75mm gun as t7 panther, e25... low profile, ok power to weight.

[@Diamonddogusa]

With regard to the stug 3... Camo + Gun = many happiness The 75mm L70 is standard on several T6 tanks and even shows up on a few T7. At T5 its a little beastie.

[@cyphi474]

Stug has pretty poor viewrange, but on tier 5 its pretty much standard. Even some light tanks got just 360 on tier 6, which is terrible considering almost all higher tiers will outrange you. Thats sadly treshold for tier 5-6s in matchmaking, since tier 7-8s average viewrange jumps up to 370-380. But if you look at tier 5s, its all in 340-360 range, so Stug isnt that big disadvantage on its own tier. Has good camo, 75mm has good dpm and mobility isnt that bad either. Its jack of all trades pretty much. You can snipe, but you can also support your team by flanking and using your dpm. But with so low hp, you cant really take big risks.

[@joerimarriott4836]

I always liked the stug. Think its 1 of the better T5 TD's

[@johnmichaelboy6375]

The Stug is popular because it has a really accurate 75mm gun (the PaK 42). It is also good free to play, you don't need to spam a lot of gold to do damage. And, it is also low profile, so it's kinda sneaky especially in maps like Studianki where there are buildings on one side and hills on the other. Also, this tank is also good for base defense since it is really sneaky and has a good rate of fire. It doesn't need to be like a Hetzer or Sav 72 that has the derp. Just hold your line, move positions around the base, then shoot any stragglers with low hp from afar.

[@aigarskauls9200]

Yes it was like that i remember VK3601H with Konish ripping apart IS4(t9 one) its ROF was insane and accuracy as well and DMG as well. dont know if i have any vids(replays) left but i do remember me and 2 friends ripping apart enemy teams15 kills for the 3 of us wasnt that odd. Back when you could get ammo on discount(yes gold amom was on 50% off as well) you could get Konish gold rounds for 1 gold a per round normaly it was 3 gold :D i made a bank when they rebalanced that one of my friends was lauging since he got 90k gold from konish rounds :D

[@favorius]

Hello comrade. I would buy premium account and with leftover gold i would buy premium ammo for konish gun. It was fun to rip apart high tier heavies. Good old times.

[@elgato7134]

I know why people just 'hate' the LeF... Before it was nerfed to oblivion, it had huge advantages in view range, DPM, splash, and penetration.

[@plainerplays5996]

Looking forward to this one! Hope your days is going well QB!

[@treeklr87]

I miss the low tier OP tanks. The T18, AT2, Grille, etc. I didn't use them often, but the were nice for a change of pace. It felt great if you managed to kill them too.

[@anttikaipainen6072]

[@darkarcanum1814]

Stug is still my daughters favorite tank. You underrated it. And it showed you how good it is for mid tier.

[@korbell1089]

I love watching QB being forced to play a tank he hates.🤣🤣

[@unbekannternr.1353]

The funny 'konisch' gun has a secret, the 75mm shell had a special projectile wich had its diameter reduced (by the barrel) while travelling down barrel. This saved volume behind the projectile while also saving pressure and providing enormous muzzle velocity for such small caliber. It's still an idea most smoothbore designers go after...

[@casuscnactus4864]

The Stug is definitely not "one of the worst tier 5 TDs you'll ever play". Your own gameplay proves the point I guess.

[@ElijahRoks]

I 3 marked my ELC with the mid gun. Was great because people didn't expect it to be fully traversable.

[@ScreamyBanana]

Me too. I did the first 2 marks with the top gun before the big update, then I was furious about the mobility nerf and WGs false advertisement of this nerf. Then I did the 3rd mark with the 75mm gun.

I love stug iii! It's so popular because: - german TDs are generally popular - it has good combination of things: good dpm, good penetration, good mobility, very good gun handling, good camo. The only bad thing is view range. - it's one of the best standard non premium credit makers in the game

[@pingdrop1354]

[@otisschultz2912]

The success of the StuG during war made swedish engeneers thinking Strv S1 is a great idea. StuG was the most produced german tank during the war and results in a large fan base in Germany.

[@zzzenglert]

The KV-1 used to be so much fun. Now the base ammo does minimal damage for most hits

[@zeroyuki92]

I had 640 battle in Stug (although I never touched that tank anymore since like 8 years). There are some stuffs where Stug is actually good: - It has THE best gun of tier 5 TD for combined accuracy/dispersion, with pretty good pen as well. The only gun that rival this tank is the flakbus, but that one has a terrible platform. It apparently has shitty DPM though, although I didn't realize it at that time. - It has cheek that bounce any 90mm below shots if you use your gundep a little bit. Also decent mantlet. - Decent mobility, awesome traverse speed, pretty good camo. Bad view range -- yes, but it's still usable and isn't SU-85 tier bad. It's basically a classic TD, reliable gun with camo and a little bit of armor. Not sure why it's #1 in popularity, but it's true that it's a classic TD that is easy to play and back then it was just a comfy tank (my playstyle has been waaay way more aggresive now so I don't play that kind of gameplay anymore, but pretty sure some people still like it)

[@ΓιάννηςΚουρουμίδης]

I have my only Kolobanov's in the AMX ELC, with a 90% crew and the middle gun :P

[@knownjj555]

HE FINALLY DID IT! My most played tank, the Amx Elc

[@ijk9]

The Stug is fantastic at Tier 5. It has a great camo rating and the gun is one of the best at tier 5.

[@Donanzador]

@17:53 They definitely have the 90mm gun, as indicated by the big muzzle brake. StuG was kinda surprising to see at the top. I would've thought that T67, or Wolverine were more popular, but I guess StuG is pretty iconic TD, compared to the others at that tier and while maybe not the best, is still decent enough.

[@kibbeystovall7546]

The StugIIIG is pretty good, I think. But the same tier reward tank StugIV is truly difficult to be effective with.

[@chancellor2755]

Pretty sure the alpha for the Konish has always been 135 even on the premium rounds, Its always been an excellent gun though. It was more or less an improved version of the L70 gun you see on all the other German mediums at tier 6 and even 7 like the Panther M10. Better pen, better shell velocity, same alpha and no HE rounds. I always wanted this gun as an option on a few other vehicles. It was also on the A.Panther light at least back in the day. I would also on occasion use it on the VK 3601 instead of the 88.

[@KudryavkaGaming]

One reason that comes to mind why so many plays the STUG III, is because of the Girls und Panzer anime, as the STUG was one of the main tanks in that anime, so it most likely got a lot of popularity from there as well. I know it's my own reason for playing the STUG.

[@evertjethoe]

Hi QuickyBaby, I can tell you why the stug III G is popular. Before the stug most people had the hetzer wich i used to like until they made the derp gun Less 1 hit kill. But in the past we found that the Stug III G was ofcourse faster then hetzer while also having that 105 mm derp gun. It was for both tanks for allot of people the 1 hitt kill. But not anymore and thats a bummer because it was fun, whether you had the hetzer or stug with the derp 105 mm.

[@970KreW]

Love this series! Keep them coming

[@Belnick6666]

[@illegalopinions4082]

The Stug III is the last remnants of the old Pz4 with the schalturm and sniper gun. It shoots needles but it's accurate as can be and pretty nippy

[@bgm1911]

I am fairly certain that the "konisch" gun was only on the t6 medium (at the time) VK3601. It had 225 mm of pen and did 400 dmg. And back then, it had to be purchased with gold. I loved that gun til it got removed from that tank. I used to damage KV-5s like crazy with that pen.

[@justdoingitjim7095]

A couple of years ago new players were given some gold, credits and a Stug III as a welcome package. I'm not sure when it started or when it ended (if it did), but I'm sure this is where lots of the Stugs came from.

I used to have a Stug 3g for a long time. I don't know why it works, but I tended to have a lot of great games in it even without crewskills. For a tier5 it has a nice gun and a low profile and it's fairly mobile. Maybe the M10 has taken some of the magic out if you want T5 TD action, but not everyone has that.

Hey, nice video QB... to rare are the mid and low tier games in wot on yt. The KV-1 and AMX ELCbis are no surprise for most played in their class as techtree tank goes. The VK30.01H, maybe it has some profit o the Leopard being top of the tree, i would have expected to see T-34 or even Pz4h. The Stug i can follow somehow as for the us TD with turret... why go for techtree when there is the same as premium unless you just grind through - and even grind is not that hard as most modules can being taken over from T1 or M4. For TD without turret the SU-85 might come close so maybe the gap isn't big in number of games?

The Stug G and the Panzer 4 H were my first tier 5s, back in the days when you could get to both via the 38t line. As such I first learned how to play TDs from the Hetzer, and the Stug had better pen, better DPM, better view range, and better mobility than the Hetzer. I have just shy of 500 battles in it with a 52% win rate, 3 MoE and 998 WN8. Granted I've not played it in years, so I've no idea how it is faring in today's meta or any insight as to why or not it would be popular.

[@WASTED__POTENTIAL]

That was some good baiting. I would go as far as to say you might be a master at it.

StuG III ausf. G is AMAZING. Accuracy, dynamics, DPM, low profile, concealment, spotting with binoculars, farming, penetration, rotation - it has it all. It's much more than a sniper. I have 60% WR on it, easy, 3 perks crew that I also use on E25, so you have blasphemous on it.
