Strv S1 is one of the few premium tanks where you don't really need to use gold ammunition, which is why it's such a pleasure to earn money with it.

[@brealistic3542]

That's a very important feature. Your right.

[@woodyamsterdam]

Even when you loose you win credits.

[@casuscnactus4864]

Provided you hit weakspots with this thing, which seemed very difficult for me when I played it last.

[@curtislaketek2952]

Exactly ​@@woodyamsterdam

[@malcolmarnold5659]

Premium shells are not necessary ever. Unless it’s a mouse or something. And that’s about it.

[@peepostinger2790]

Turbo on S1 is very usefull since it increases a bit of reverse speed in siege mode . It makes it so much safer to reverse back after shots

[@curtislaketek2952]

I replaced it with vents and been having much higher damage games. Not saying it didn't work

[@richman2601]

@@curtislaketek2952Vents doesn't do much

[@richman2601]

I would pick turbo, coated and rammer

[@CalinCETERAS]

[@KenBarrens]

I am soooo happy those bad streaks of loosing games and bad RNG overall in battles is not happenning just to regular players. During Christmas I wasn't reaching even 40% and it was extremely frustrating :d Love ya Skill

[@lionjunkdrawer2386]

'You are missing every shot you are not taking' thank you Wayne Gretzky

[@Hyxtrem]

Yeah i feel you Skill for Winrate. I mostly doing 54%, then got a day with 30% winrate on 30 games, I didn't even had the time to breath that the team was dead. It somehow feels reassuring that it happen to greatest players like you.

[@martinbenicek3465]

Happened to me this morning. Several games with tier VIII, most of them in tier X and WR after about 10 games around 20 percent...Usually went to -5 tanks in 90 seconds. Enjoyable

[@pun15h3r.]

its just ridiculous.. i had to play 11 games to win 1 for the double xp.. then 6 for 1 win... i mean what kind of shthole is this.. they just insta die and you cant do sht man...

[@exp2tr10t]

As a returning player, I've learned that games won is not a good measure of personal performance. Sometimes, I'm a lunatic who gets killed and then my team wins, other times, I'm getting 4-5K damage, several kills, doing my best and making the right plays, and still can't win. I look more at average damage. Trading positive damage and getting more experience are more important IMO.

[@raptango_na6199]

Ive never seen anything like it. All you gotta do is wiggle and dance and enemies drive right past you!!

[@Illbegoodinthefuture]

First I really hated this tank, but after I realized how to play it I grew to love it. I have to admit though, it's really situational. There are games where you just can't make damage with it.

[@3_Circles]

This really seems to be a thing with all TDs that sit in the back. You NEED the enemy to make mistakes and expose themselves/YOLO. Due to the way maps are designed, if you choose a flank and your team wins that flank, you tend to get not much damage as you sit in the back. On the other hand, if that flank is just barely lost (enemy tanks are all on low-ish HP) the harvest is bountiful.

[@TheHateSpeechChannel]

I had 24 games without a win last week, must be a record.

[@MegaSoulReaper666]

i feel you bro

[@stefanonbekend8177]

Because of players like skill have a good match making in more then 60% of the the time, and it is more easy too mark for them. Some people have too lose every time because others have a good mm. It is not fair. Rigged game.

[@kelvisshandei]

Try 44 loses ^^

[@carlvonhassel4927]

It’s much harder to play triangles these days with the 15-5, 5-15 matches that are unfortunately the norm.

[@krayxeez]

0:53 the way you always pull out jokes like this (or facts) always amuse me hahah.. Thank you

[@Warbeaver]

Unfortunately WG doesn't know how to make maps that work for all classes of vehicles. They don't seem to make maps now at all and are just pouring the resources into their fortnite tank game.

[@dadaznamsmaras]

For the notice i didnt kicked the door. I knocked on em twice 😊❤ Baboons are mothertruckers sometimes but not savage beasts 😂

[@Alan-mb8zy]

😂😂😂

[@thickboi7570]

333 pen with gold ammo at tier 8 is just overkill, the standard shells have more pen than half of the premium shells that other TD’s fire at this tier, meaning that you can print credits with this. this tank is also invisible, extremely accurate and fast. Definitely would recommend to purchase this one. The downsides is that most things will overmatch your upper front plate, but you can counter this by angling your tank up when reversing. and this biggest downside is that you only have 1,000 hp.

[@kjerzman]

This tank is so much dependent of the team that it’s not funny to play. I trade it as soon as i could.

[@69zedking]

Hi Skill! Just noticed a lot of E25 vids on your index page are from 2022. The videos seemed to be more best of videos rather than a master class if i may say so. I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a video about the versatility of the tank as in it can be a light tank or it can assume its natural role. Basically showing how many different ways it can be played and enjoyed. For example i have a stealth spotting build and a turbo/rammer build. Thanks for all that you do, you're truly awesome!

[@tameu1309]

Sadly this is not the current meta for S1 and 103B, turbo is in peeking with a turbo is much better, reserve speed in seige mode much better

[@ABoringTool]

For every game you carry defend there are 5 where your team mops up and you do nothing

[@simhub2000]

Yep, I love the S1 but this is the biggest problem with it

[@Marco-cg7fb]

It is actually a really pleasing tank to play, even in the new meta. Slap a bounty or bond turbo on it, and just snipe

[@fherot8200]

Don’t remind me of my failed TD-15 in the S1 on Redshire doing almost 7k… Also SU-122-44 last video 18 years ago Reeeeee!

[@1Ministras]

I feel you skill. 2.6k combined damage in Conqueror, 38% WR over last 60+ games. I get sessions where I could go 1 win to 8 loses, and my teams melts before I even get to heavy line.

[@claudioimprota6017]

Conqueror is not a good tank..

[@RoberttAvro]

lol, I am going to do the Italian TD line. So I started at the Basatto tier 6. I am doing ok with the tank but my WR is 31% after 45 games. Can't get too upset about it though. I think it will turn around when I get up closer to 100 games. At least I hope it does. My overall WR is 50%, so 31% after almost 50 games is possibly the lowest I have ever had. But it will probably turn around, I am waiting for that big win streak.

[@silverbullet9285]

My money maker as well. You can make pixel shots, or RNG decides to throw your shots outside of the reticle. I also make half of the shots blind when I recognize a camping position or when team spot someone and I am outside of viewing range. It's so nice to have blind kills or more points then the displayed one's a the end of the game.

[@BemBen.]

Part with ELC meeting looks stinking suspicious.

[@skjelm6363]

tbh imho you play not that well, in the last round you just were to uncautious. Maybe because you get the role wrong. My experience with the S-Tank is you surely can go with the other tanks to the line and "snipe" there - there is no absolutely need to be the redline-schneiperschnitzel-noob first priority. The s-tank is made for being aggressive as well. Sure i snipe with it... a lot... but I always look for the opportunities to go as near to the front as possible. And pssst - One tip for all the "siegemode" tanks: if you put on a good turbo, you get the speedboost in the siege mode too! With that you maybe could have evaded the Jagdtiger shot in the end. Take out the vent, put the rammer on the first slot and put in a hell of a turbo beside the binos. (I use experimental turbo for more turning speed on top) Have a good one ...while you read this naked on the bed! - I play meanwhile without trousers! Swing!

[@evanvanot5911]

"Theres no time for hehe haha" 21:51. That caught me off guard, almost spat my coffee out 😂

[@cadekiel2953]

wrong time stamp

[@ibanezmnm]

4K games, so im not experienced gamer. Win ratio is embarrassing 46%. And I always feel guilty. But even my good, experienced friends playing on my acc can’t win any game! So strange… WG hates me ;)

[@HD7970]

Mountain pass was kinda ruined by the changes. Personally i wish i had wot plus because itd take the 3rd spot for blacklisted maps. Probably wont make a difference because im for what ever reason getting black listed maps still.

[@Rimuruismywaifu]

I just wanted to come and say thank you a lot for your great website as a new player with under 2000 battles in wot it really helps me a lot to look at what tank i want to skill and buy

[@kkmik5933]

Those are typical S1 games for me. At the mercy of the skill level of my team.

[@tryck0]

whenever i watch a skill video and try to replicate the gameplay , this is how is going , like this sesion

[@cagatayguitar]

%90 if the maps are close combat, i wish good luck who ever trying to enjoy and mark this tank

[@aakettu]

Past week has been really hard for WR, avg. 52%. I dont know what happen but it feels like Christmas time :/

[@neilh6217]

I love the strv and my udes3 tds eh I felt this was good decision making key to watch the flow of battles on mini map and respond to where it is crucial for the team eh Enjoyed watching very real a familiar frustrating situations eh

[@MrVampireBill]

My all time favourite tank. My play style is either sniper like this or heavily armoured assault tank like the Tortoise.

[@ryokajimosensei2780]

Skill you also forgot about playing WZ-120-1 FT

[@molnargabor8277]

I'm glad you made this video because this is my session most of the time and I see it's not just me

[@MrJayyangie]

Thanks for showing honest games. I have way too many games that end 15-4 or some number like that. Glad I am not the only one.

[@MrClaypogue]

I love TDs and absolutely hate the strv s1, 103 etc. I have never had a single game in them where I can say that was not that bad of a game. Even with games where I do amazing I still cant stand that tank line.

[@ScorpionTechReviews]

Nah, you played it quite well, it's just that the matchmaker said no and WG are too stupid to understand that they need to make maps playable and enjoyable for all vehicle classes except clickers. They just don't get it. You have (mostly older) maps where you're just dead and mostly useless if you're in a heavy tank, you have (mostly newer) maps where you're there just to pad the scores for other players if you're not playing heavily armored TDs and that's about the entire WG map-making philosophy.

[@Zoleeyiskickingass]

Skill, you asked which tank you played ages ago: It is Panther/M10. Last video of said tank is from 18 December, 2021. I have the tank but having problem marking it. Couple of vids would sure help me. Thanks.

Skill, I got this tank when I came back to WoT a couple of years ago, think the first 20 battles in it were on Himmelsdorf, super😢

[@cheapgamz]

Skill: "If you aim, you should hit with this Vehicle" Me: made my Day

[@johnascroft8738]

At least it still hits most of its shots, not like my Rhm-borsig, which misses and bounces. It plays the same as an SU-100, troll gun that can do very well or very badly,

[@3_Circles]

T-34-85M? Last vid on it was in Dec 2022, and new players tend to get it through referral contracts, so a nice up-to-date video on it would benefit everyone. Other less relevant ones I've spotted include: M10 RBFM EBR 75 (FL 10) Strv 74 [videos exist, but they are not linked for some reason] Type 64

[@DasDaniel007]

why sniper schnitzel? XD that's definitely the Sniper cheese grater!

[@karljohnson4687]

Yeah I've been having a lot of games that are completely one-sided. It's It's good to know that even you CC's have bad days too.

[@86mystek]

Skill, probably you were recording this video around 2-3 days ago. If yes - I understand you so much because when I played Nomad this time I was making 3000-4000k dmg each battle and my team was melted by enemies. It was typical "exit damage" games with 40-50% WR like you.

@skill4ltu common man. You promised the new line of Japanese heavies.....

[@kieranlong5671]

This, the ka ri and bisconte are my fav premiums to play and also earn money. The S1, insane gun, fast, insane camo and VR. The ammo is nuts, prints credits. The secret op thing about the s1, is its siege mode is the same as the strv b tier X. While the udes and tier 9 dont, they get alot of bloom when aiming in siege, this and the tier X dont, so imo it is much better than udes tier 8, but the tier 9 is awesome. Think its a slept on tank, if your top tier you can push medium line, most mediums at tier 8 are 90 and below, except the lis, 30b, vtu. So you can do some brawling. The one drawback is it is team dependant like all tds, but its camo, speed and view range means (over 500 vr and around 50 camo with food and binocs) if its a 3 on 3 late game you can clutch quite well. 10/10 recomend to anyone.
