"Ruthless" Tank Review || World of Tanks: Soldiers of Fortune

[@brianblanchette8054]

Great video. This TD is an example of Wargaming playing to one of society's worst instincts, instant gratification. The Death Star, 4005 and the like are tech tree tanks that you have to work for over time to obtain. This is another in a long line of attempts by Wargaming to satisfy their main audience, the instant gratification crowd. For example, the 6.0 reduction in the maximum crew skill number (28 to 9), to the AVRE, and the Ruthless. The game changes/additions are allowing those that don't want to put time into learning with the lower tier tanks to play the upper tiers without putting any work in. This is part of the reason the games are so schizophrenic now. One moment you are a hero with thousands in damage and a handful of kills and the next your team disintegrates in the first two minutes of the game and your left with one or two shots made with little damage.

All very good points and will be similar in a very near video. Unfortunately, it was supposed to be o be out yesterday but my computer is acting up

Just played it for 10 games. And i can say i like it very much. To say it is op i need to play it more. The turret is great the gun is good but slow in reload ( logical ) and aim is very slow. The hull is venerable show it a tiny bit and you will get penned by anything. Also get shot in the side and you will burn. Have burned 3 times in those 10 matches. If you are full health and can get close to it you will win 8/10 times. If you find one alone and you have a brain its also not that hard to kill. If it has company of like a medium or something with short reload you’re screwed.

I think WG doesn't understand how much this ruins their game, i think if they're going to give you a tier 10 included with the ultimate season pass that it should cost between 12k to 15k to at least make it less likely eveyone is gonna have one, i mean that's still cheap when you compare it to purchasing premium tier 10s with gold in the premium tank tech tree, i like that the base price for season pass is 2k gold and that's fine, i have no problem with that as it makes it affordable for players to play and earn rewards, but ultimate season pass shouldn't be 6k gold, its too cheap for getting a tier 10 for doing practically nothing except giving WG money, hense why so many players are able to flood the matchmaking with reward tanks every new season because its too affordable for too many players, it really hurts matchmaking for tier 8, especially if you trying to grind or play premium tanks for credit earning and now you'll be facing a shit load of deathstars that can or definitely will one shot you so that's great

Played seven tier 10 games today - SIX of them being a loss with only one win (every single one of those losses was by 8 or more tanks). That one win on Mountain Pass featured five AVRE's and SIX Ruthlesses'. Not a single one of the Ruthless players eclipsed 2,500 damage and EVERY single one of them had an overall win rate of less than 48%. I just don't understand how WGCB can possibly think this can be healthy for the game. The Ruthless, just like the AVRE, takes ZERO skill to play - you just drive, turn your turret, shoot, and do damage. I'm so sick of these idiot-proof tanks practically being spoon-fed to terrible players. I may just stop playing tiers 8-10 altogether and stick with the mid-tiers from here on out because these total BS season pass tanks have made the higher tiers almost unplayable.

[@jayvonwebb4864]

Haven't played tier 8 and above in a while and I've been a happier man because of it. Join us at 5-7, that's where the fun is at

[@rmurphy3435]

@@jayvonwebb4864yes I agree. I went to mid tiers several years ago, more fun in my opinion and any game has to be fun or why play at all.

[@sumdaybro]

​@jayvonwebb4864 what fun ?

[@sumdaybro]

​@jayvonwebb4864 like no offense but 8 and below is ass even 9. So many people play 10 and it's not fun to sweat as an 8 against a 10

[@footballmania2421]

Me to yesterday 10 at row very bad tank

[@seanonel]

It's like going on a murder spree, realising that it was really fun and that you want to do it again. Then you realise that it is very wrong, but you've done it already, so might as well carry on...

[@CloneGuy]

Oof, hilarious metaphor XD

[@gavriushka]

Pretty sure the hull is the tier 8 Czech heavy hull, and the turret is actually slightly worse than the current E4, it’s like half way between the prebuff E4 and post buff. But yeah.

[@sumdaybro]

Only gun mantlet is worse and hull armor vs e4 from what ive seen and the armor module

[@kaleb0171]

Those live stream games at tier 10 were painful 😭

[@thackest2k]

It feels like a t9 with how it operates but slapped with a t10 so it doesn’t meet t7 Only thing I would change is give it 2 more degrees depression with it having 180 yaw and a slow turret traverse It’s not a idiot proof tank like a avre or the cw era 3 Russian td Only thing scary about it is the gun that’s it you can rush it and rip it apart

[@sumdaybro]

180 yaw to either side would be 360. Should not be added whatsoever

[@premiumprism144]

WG really used the T110E4 turret with no Manlet and gave a bigger gun, lol😂😂 The hull looks like a Tiger P and a B.U.G.G.I. Traditional tank hull

[@seanonel]

I bought this tank for the Afrikaans accents! Hoping that they win the RWC for a record breaking 4th time!! Go Bokke!! To be fair, what you are hearing is an Afrikaans person speaking English. Would love to have heard an English speaking South African doing the English, and an Afrikaner doing the Afrikaans language commentary. Shouldn't be too difficult as the desired language can be chosen in Commander customisation...

[@seanonel]

PS I REFUSE to play it, but am waiting for it to become standardised. I bought an Object 257 to practice for a lovely new, shiny IS7. These things are making my grind horrific..

[@appelsapman434]

Wut?

[@sumdaybro]

7:41 terrible shot to go for with your being unaimed like that. You werent gonna hit that besides maybe the 5% chance bro😂 i wouldve gone for it too tho😂

[@CloneGuy]

XD T’is the burden of live gameplay. Thanks for the comment!

[@sumdaybro]

15:47 tbh imma spend 6000 gold cause i dont have a 183 in ww2 yet. Those lines suck

[@CloneGuy]

Perhaps, though I lover the 4005 line

[@sumdaybro]

@CloneGuy that'd probably be the more enjoyable line out of the two but I refuse to deal with that horrible camo rating lol

[@robertballenger3806]

But isnt it easier to earn a profit with that beast?

[@Tom_J23]

Tier 6 max /this day's

[@cameronnye3359]

Season is garbage went to look at contracts and my app freezes up even after deleting it and reinstalled it even gave database a rebuild system is only few weeks old every otherapp i use on it works so f### wargaming

[@seanonel]

Batchat is still better than the Murat, if you know what I'm saying...

[@CloneGuy]

I certainly prefer the uniqueness of the Bat

[@sumdaybro]

I do agree. The tank is ugly as hell 😂
