Skill, you’ve inspired us all for blind shots. I think you need to have a blind shot contest. Fans send in replays with their best blind shots, make a video with the best, maybe some gold for top 3. Would be fun.

[@krazy4958]

[@SatelliteYL]

21:03 Damn, that shot on the 13 90 was insanely unlucky… Rng straight up just said “no”

[@durachoks]

how is it insanely unlucky? That amx is covering at best 30% of the reticle, if he hit it would be lucky shot not other way around xD

[@TheRealPulverize]

The amx13-90 played very safely at the start and showed how superior a light is at the end game especially in a field like this.

[@kozliik]

Mwahahaha, that shot at 12:20 when you sent char to the garage was transcendental or more likely orgastic.. at least for you :D Keep up good work, you inspire me and always make smile on my face..

i'm annoyed by this auction. the 121b reskin wasn't worth it, the k2 was bad, the mars was cool (i mean the skin was... special, but i liked it), but WG made the tank super rare for no fucking reason.... and now this. meh.

I've never really understood why people think that the Death Star and the fv4005 are only limited by the hash browns that they have. I don't know if you guys know this or not but the AP rounds are pretty damn good.

Deathstar is one of my favourite TDs, but i am also a fan of rolling the dice for those sweet critical success/critical fails. definitely not the best tank, but when you hit those sweet one shot kills... *chefs kiss*

I play WOT only occasionally (because without premium it is unplayable, i will run out of money soon) but I like this channel a lot because you tell everything straight as it is, real scenarios all conditions done and just pure unchanged true. That is very valuable and I think that is why this channel is so successful, by the way I am watching it many years now, time to time :D

[@josef.martin5174]

I play it more or less constantly without premium and I msut admit that, from time to time, is a hellish thing, but, as it happens to you, I'm addicted to Skill. Even when I was not playing WOT (I took a 3 year holiday season) I kept watching him. It''s too good to be missed.

I play my deathstar as a heavy tank, if I'm close enough I can't miss, using bond turbo, bond hardening and Rotation Mech, nothing else trades shots like this thing. Edited as I said stab not rotation, it's basically td vert stab anyway, I'm just trying swapping that and the turbo for the experimental mobility to fee up a slot for the rammer or vents.

175,000 is not that bad for a tier 10. Which is less than skill thought. I would definitely grab it for that price.

[@obinator9065]

It’s the minimum bid, it doesn’t mean you’ll get it at that price. The Mars started with 8000, but people paid over 23k gold to get it.

[@mehmetkavakk]

Since the auction started, I only regretted not getting the Progetto (Mars), but I stopped feeling sorry for that tank as well since it was sold for too much gold than it was worth.

[@adrianstejar2711]

I missed the progetto with a bid of 22k gold (EU) and I really wanted it. I had more gold but I was an idiot and since it also was my first ever bid... seeing 25.2k competitive bid idk why I cheaped out...hope they will sell the progetto again soon

[@mehmetkavakk]

@@adrianstejar2711 You shouldn't be upset that you didn't get that tank even though you paid 23k gold (unless you have a lot of gold, of course) because the real value of that tank is 9900 gold. Just because it has a different shaped camouflage, those golds are not awarded 😂

Extra ratios present a problem to me. I can't choose what to take out to place it. The medic pack seems the obvious choice but i get a lot of wounded crewmen daily so... what to do, what to do...

Did they buff it for CCs to showcase it? Lol Was thinking for the last game, CS should have gone after the light tank first by going wide up the 0 line. But that’s a high IQ play and I probably wouldn’t have done that either!

Yeah only got the Monkey because I don't have the 121B and got the K2 just to collect it. Will pay for itself if they put the K2 in Christmas boxes.

Have fv4005 already with all field modifications and decent crew. Would it make sense to get fv215b? Still have to finish chimera alliance 15 mission (6500 dmg), will it be easier in fv215b as u have slightly more armor and can be more agressive to get dmg?

Not really easier if you can't manage 6,5 in the fv the 183 probably won't magically make it an easy mission

[@Illbegoodinthefuture]

Thx for the video baboon! Also thx for pointing out how this tank is just about luck/RNG. I personally truly dislike this tank, because in most games you will only be able to hit one enemy and that shot won't penetrate, so you are ending the round with like 700 dmg. Ofc there are battles where you can easily make 5-6k damage, but it's like one in 50 rounds. Its just not consistent at all and very frustrating to play.

[@jean-philippemorin1176]

This tank has been nerfed so much, buried into the ground. Now it is just a rng roulette machine.

Skill, thanks for what you said: one is better than zero! Im super casual player, I dont have much time to play, but Im happy with 2k dmg and 7k dmg, this game is purely for fun.

[@Cozmoz79]

Both FV215b and FV2005 are "one-trick Pony" but I honestly think the FV215b is the better one. I don't agree with Skill here, to treat them just the same. Why? Because: 1) It has decent armor and could bounce a shell sometimes (152 hull armor + 254 turret armor) compared to full paper armor FV2005. Especially in tier 8-9 games. Other can't bounce. 2) It is slightly faster which is good in todays fast meta gameplay. Negatives: It has worse gun depression and turret can't turn 360 degrees but for me that does not convice me that FV2005 is better. If you get flanked on either, dead. FV2005 dead faster.
