FV215b 183: Destroying Tanks and Dreams in World of Tanks

[@3v1Bunny]

actual "what grille" moment again. KEKW

[@martincortesrodriguez8248]

Last video with this tank you pulled your first 10k at on live KZbin ! Lakeville holding the base, such an epic video

[@patrickellinwood18]

These guns got my attention when I got 1 shot for full health in an E75!

[@johndoran3274]

When I got mine, it was tech tree tank. It had way better pen with Hesh but only carried 12 shots. When they replaced it with Badger, I was happy they let us keep them and made them into something that we can rotate crews into for free.

[@bejoalan]

12 shots deathstar. Now that's old :D

[@akk-nd3vj]

this tank is crusher of dreams. either urs or enemies. and when see ammocost after miss all shots oh dear.

[@nson__]

The FV215b 183 is my favorit tank to play. Initially I didn't know what to do with it when I got it back then as part of the auction. I had bad games after bad games. But I learned to play with it, and I must say, this thing will make your day and will cause significant damage to the enemy if you're patient and you make count of your shots.

[@Nebufelis]

This is a crazy tank I've been saving up Free XP and Credits now in case it comes around. One big reason why I didn't buy the Vickers. I just like the hit-and-miss gameplay more than the boring reliable stuff. ^^

[@czesare8902]

anyone has a good guess as to when it will come back?

[@juanjodpr]

Whenever Black Market drops. I'd say you should be ready for the Waffentragger event, because there might be Black Market in autumn.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

What do you mean by "imagine"?

[@jean-philippemorin1176]

You will hit wheels... Ebr wheels are as big as the tank, or they have bullet magnets... Like cupolas at 400m

[@SamuelJochman]

14:13 evil skill xDDD

[@milktrain5567]

You can make crazy builds with FV215b 183. Few fun, but very expensive ones: boosted camonet build, 105 fuel speed build and 0.3 dispersion build.

[@anthonyware4033]

You really need to play the Imperial marching music while playing the Death Star. I got mine before the badger was put into the game.

[@recon_ron7746]

Nobody mentions that this tank is actually better than 4005 in every other way besides the armor. Better gun soft stats as well as mobility.

[@zeroyuki92]

4005 is actually faster forward despite of top speed due to terrible terrain resistance and worse PtW ratio, although yes 215 is better at reversing. -5 gun depression is also way worse. That said, since intuition the best advantage of 215 is actually the fact that people can't easily pen it with HE. While blocking once in a while is nice, 4005 worst problem is that everyone loads HE whenever they see you.

[@spatulace]

I feel like Deathstar has way worse gun stabilization when turning turret.

[@greener2497]

yeah shitters tend to not even know what make a good tank so obviously they think this junk is better than 4005 lmao. 183 has more armor, but only enough to not get auto pen by HE, it's still dogshit. But guess what, 4005 has gun depression, wide range of turret, forward turret, better mobility, which make it much much better at positioning, WHICH is the main play style of those things

[@recon_ron7746]

@greener2497 The irony lol, because literally nothing about what you said is relevant as a better performer for the 4005. You must be new cause the 183 can block much more than just HE, definitely has blocked multiple tier 10 TDs including Jg Pz E100s, good luck seeing a 4005 do that. More depression for what? The drastically taller turret with higher gun axis that basically cancels it out? I'm also glad you think that a forward turret for a tank that has 0 armor and can't side scrape is important. Oh and the 15 degrees of extra rotation and better ground resistances with less top speed is supposed to help you so much more when the 183 is a side scraper anyway with better camo lmao. Come back with a better argument next time.

[@Pittsburgh-412]

This tank had faster reverse speed than shitbarn

[@Kratatch]

Shitbarn got nerfed to the ground. It used to be fast. Now it is a slower and weaker version of the FV215b 183.

[@RuggedCoyote69]

@@Kratatchafter Christmas & before next assembly shop

[@dawid12301d]

Exactly. 4005's only advantage is good gun depression and those 45 extra degrees of turret traverse. Everything else goes to Deathstar, it can reverse faster while having comparable mobility, gun handling is slightly better and you actually have some armor.

[@branthopolis]

This tank is probably the only tank remaining which I want badly that has eluded me so far. Every year has caught me at a bad time when it was being sold, but this year I've got plenty of credits, bonds or gold to make it happen.. She WILL be mine.

[@weshootovrthose3450]

How do you know when it is on sell. I’ve been wanting it badly

[@branthopolis]

@@weshootovrthose3450 Just have to pay attention whenever there is an auction, black friday, special event, etc...

[@alinaasandei9172]

In wot blitz The 183 has a deathstar styled camoflage Tge fv4005 also has a shitbarn styled camo

[@artbobik3516]

I finished grinding this tank days before it was removed from the Tech Tree - I have played it 35 times so far - my FV4005 only has 6 battles on it - now that I have 75 mil credits, I need to think about playing them more -

[@BrolyKenseigoku]

I got it on black market 2 years ago for only 225k free exp

[@alex.mielus]

I was "never lucky" 2 times! First I grinded the WT 100 and they changed it with Grille exactly when I was finishing the grind, then they switched the FVs exactly when I was finishing the grind. Bad timing lol, both times! I WILL DEFINITELY PAY 20 mil credits for this one!

[@92Koondog92]

Compared to the 4005, this thing has amazing camo. I'll pick one of these up just so I can actually go unseen for more than 3 seconds a game. Between that and the reverse speed, the Deathstar has got to be more fun...

[@danielfeinour9611]

I got my Death Star either in 2022 or 2023... can't remember which Black Market/Trading Caravan event had it. I got it for 300,000 Free XP exactly. I'd traded in for the XP when WG had that 40 to 1 exchange rate. All of the items on the auction weren't that great, in my opinion. I'd just about given up on the idea of getting anything when the Death Star popped up the very last day. Got it right away, because it had been a tank I'd wanted from the time I started playing. I'm not the best player with it, but I enjoy it... win, lose, or draw.

[@kaygeehimself9027]

Even if you screw 1-2 matches in it, your next apocalyptic hit will make you smile again. On the other hand, 4005 is much more frustrating. Even a fast fly ramming you can take you out.

[@przemeklewandowski7476]

I remember first time meeting this td like 10 years ago, in my full hp kv4. He one-shotted me and I was like "WTF HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?!?!?!?!?":) As for deathstar: it is great fun tank until it isn't - bad gun handling, constant misses, extremely expensive gold ammo, rather bad armor, mediocre mobility, non-existing camo, rather useless against super heavies or hulldown tanks. But when it hits - it HITS

is this tank faster than shitbarn? i only have the shitbarn and it feels extremely sluggish, especially backwards

[@Kolagnarr]

"What grille?" :D

[@mardukdzieciol1712]

You are wrong that it is just armour thats better. It has 0.02 better dispersion which makes difference at those stats and also it has better camo. Fv 183 is better at everything except the turret restriction

[@robkas5889]

You need to add closer games and some 15-1 losses to make the rest of feel btter

[@paulkirby2761]

The DS is indeed a "disgusting" tank. The only question is who it's going to be disgusting for, you or the enemy. Worth it? If you've stacks of credits why not, sure.

[@K_LeShaeya]

I got this tank for free from the last Black Market with that 5000 gold random drop box they had. This tank is completely cursed for me, I cannot hit anything with this tank even using all the equipment that gets the gun handling down. RNG just will not let me enjoy this vehicle
