For the barrel coverings: There are metal flakes (and other crap) that leave a barrel when firing. Covering the other barrel will help prevent you from fouling your own barrel. Not sure that gas exhausting would be affected by such a lose covering, so the only real reason I can see to have it close so often is to prevent fouling from the other barrel.

[@landofsmo]

On the other hand, it could just be to prevent infantry from throwing grenades or C4 down the barrel, but is shown to open/close more often for the "coolness" factor

[@sheabrockhoff2279]

I think it’s honestly just there for style points. Having an actual system of stuff like that built alongside the barrels is probably more apt to fail than to actually do anything useful.

I think the 176 has just made us a bit wary about any new premium. I don't think this will reach the levels as it's not as idiot proof as the 176 is. It also looks like this tank suffers against higher tiers more compared to the 176 personally. It looks like a good tank but I don't think it'll be game breaking unless it's in the right hands.

[@Lacutis01]

Blocked barrel indicator should be red, not green with different lines

[@sylvercloud6631]

There is something weird about the accuracy of this gun in double-shot mode right now. The lowest dispersion it can get is 0.92, which is still greater than a BZ176 with a damaged gun (max 0.88). Base dispersion of this gun (1.15) is greater than a KV2 firing on the move (1.12). But how does this gun feel so much more accurate than anything I've described above? EDIT: On AEG's video, someone is suggesting that the dispersion is calculated differently by taking the farthest points of both guns, combining both aiming circles (and maybe the space in between them). So it's possible that the actual accuracy/dispersion is a little less than half of the value, which would make a lot of sense since it would resemble the value of a KV2 or BZ176. That would make this tank have a gun like the BZ176 able to fire on the move...

[@chronaxis]

It’s an oval, it’s the dispersion of both guns added together (though each one still gets more than base). So yeah, the paper value may be a little misleading.

[@matufujiwara7493]

there are actually hidden rng values which imo can't be seen anywhere. and this is aim circle rng. imagine that you have alot of circles inside the aim circle. now these circles have rng percentage. you want big percentage in the middle circles and low percentages in outer circles. these percentages decide on how often your shot lands in the middle and how often on outer edge. i've been mostly soviet tank main. but last year been trying some german tanks. russian tanks have very big aim circles but it doesn't matter cause for some reason, shells do like to go more towards middle. while german guns aim circles are small, but shells barely go to the middle of circle. by stats german tanks should be hitting their targets more often than soviet tanks, but due to these hidden rng percentages, soviet tanks hit shots better.

[@chronaxis]

@@matufujiwara7493Such values don't exist, Chems made a detailed analysis on the situation. The truth of the matter is that 0.4 dispersion and 0.25 dispersion are both inaccurate enough; and when you expect accuracy each miss is more painful.

I feel like one could be a cheeky booger by switching from double, to single, and back again to imitate a wink.

[@IDHPI]

What I don’t understand is that 0.5 accuracy on a kv2 is crazy troll but 1.0 it’s seems you can still hit lower plate at 80/100m ??? It seems there is more to it because shot’s go pretty straight.

[@Balc0ra]

You have to consider that you have two aim circles now, as both barrels are not aimed at the same spot. Thus the wider area of dispersion that heightens the value

[@corriemooney9812]

@@Balc0raThat makes sense.

[@nebvbn4504]

Yeah I believe it's a wider aiming circle (an oval), not a tall one. And as most tanks are usually wider than the are tall, most shots will hit the target (well, more than if it was a circle)

[@Warrant_Officer_Schrodinger]

Multiple factors at play shell velocity is a big one kv2s shells are in the air longer so have more time to deviate kv2 also has bad gun handling so it takes longer to aim and if your not fully aimed you rush the shot your likely to miss whereas this is always aimed in its fire mode so its starting out on target which is a big help the kv2 lacks if kv2 was always fully aimed .5 would feel like great accuracy at these sorts of distances

[@juanjodpr]

I watched AEG driving this vehicle in a platoon and they were actually landing tons of double shots, so it's more accurate than what the numbers might suggest, so this heavy is fairly powerful. It feels like a Kranvagn at tier 8 with a weird mechanic. This line of british heavies will be interesting to play with in a few months.

It's funny how Christmas loot box tanks that are met with skepticism upon launch end up being fun despite their weirdness

[@VsUK]

I think to your question to why they cover the ends of the barrel you asked on 29:30. I think it's to let the enemy know which mode your on if they look at your barrels. So if it's 1v1 & they're a 1 shot kill, but so are you if they double barrel you & not if they single shot you. But to push the tank to fire, you will have to get hit first before firing. So I think this is about giving the enemy some information.

[@zhalo6512]

I am in love with this tank and hope the upcoming tech tree is just as awesome

[@confusedpacifist9038]

The firing mechanics for the contradictious is a heavily nerfed version of the console double barrel mechanics. Truthfully, it is very much appreciated to see that such a nerf is applied to a double barrel tank though its a bit jarring for pc since no other tanks work like it.

I don't think this will be the next BZ-176, more like an Object 703-II sidegrade. Still very strong of course, but not really that controversial (WG really shit the bed with BZ, it takes a miracle for them to admit they made a mistake).

QB, in my opinion this tank doesn't seem so OP. I'm not going to say its bad but compared to a BZ, Skoda T56 or even 703 II, it seems a little weak, now, don't get me wrong, I think it's a nice thing that Wg doesn't make new tanks like these, but, what I want to say is that I think you're overestimating this vehicle a bit. The accuracy is bad, the reload system is weird, and it will probably get destroyed in T9 ot T10

Its just like skoda or bz Broken op against tier 8 and lower. Anything that is tier 9 literally pens it straight into turret just like those heavies

[@thegymteachersgrandma]

From the looks of it, it seems kinda like a better 703. You have better turret armor way better gun depression and I think even better hull armor. In terms of dispersion, there must be going something on cause that ain't 1.15 or likewise

[@gamingwarrioryt1283]

qb do you know the new british heavy tech tree will start from which tier plzzz reply if u know

[@realbadcorps]

The muzzle covers (as depicted in the game) are completely worthless and solely for aesthetic. The reason being that you can see there's a gap between the halves, meaning that it would still let in dust and water (if fording). Real muzzle covers completely cover the end and are typically just used in practise exercises to keep the barrel from getting gunked up. The "control rods" are fictional as well. On the Green Mace AA gun, which the guns appear to be based on, that rod is a cooling pipe. Also the double fire effect appears to be incorrectly using the 100mm sound instead of the 105mm+ sound.

[@sylvercloud6631]

Great, another super meta high alpha hull-down tier 8 Christmas premium heavy tank. And it has a unique feature that means it is almost always fully aimed, at least 3-4s after it has fired/switched... It makes no sense in any world, not even in world of tanks, to no have any gun dispersion when moving (please, 0.01 is very negligible). Is this the future of WoT? Tanks that aim only once and then it's fully aimed forever until they fire? Imagine how insane that would be on a BZ176, KV2 or FV4005... Also, craziest abusers can get dispersion down to 0.92. To anyone planning to buy a bunch of lootboxes to get some of the tanks, know that you are telling WG to do more tanks like this, you are making yourself complicit in the BZ176-likes. And QB, it sounds as if you didn't care if WoT was actually introducing a new BZ176, you only mention how WG is trying to milk as much as they can the playerbase. This is too little to discourage most players willing to put the money into destroying the game some more.

[@MetalMorris]

@@XSharkdarkX That wasn't the question. Fact 1: You cannot shoot a shot unless both barrels are loaded with ammo. Fact 1: You cannot mix different types of shells.
