Tier VII DPG in an Tier V? Sherman M4A1 in action! | World of Tanks

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

I find many of these mid tier battles more exciting to watch. Thanks for making Extra Skill!

[@shinyoneincarnate5565]

I got the M4A1 5 years ago, (2017), & loved to DERP with it. When they changed the High Explosive shells to Non Explosive shells when hitting another tank, (only explode when hitting the dirt). I played 6 games, & switched to the other gun. HE is "Hit or Miss" now, (dredging up an old saying from my childhood). HE is now a "Hassels In My Mind" --- The Corporation, "Don't Let Me Down" --- The Beatles, "You Can't Always Get What You Want --- The Rolling Stones.

[@anthonyware4033]

I have games like this in my PZ4H quit often. With the HE rework i have had to shoot gold more to make the gun work.

[@homelessEh]

instance of cut throat game "you need to do spotting assist damage" you go spot. the tanks behind you "Covering you" are doing missions where they need to kill heavy tanks. you spot some mediums and a lite tank.. your back up doesnt shoot untill you spot the heavy tank but the lite tanks now spotted you and the mediums shooting at you but your BACK up is trying to damage a heavy tank thats no threat to you because.. mission reasons.

[@20022ryan]

*skill kills a new tourist. "sorry fellas but I must seal club for content" 😂 love it skill.

[@peterblood50]

The worst part of the derp gun is at longer ranges. The shell travels slowly so you have to extend your lead over a moving target. It also has a long load time and can get you killed if you're rushed by light tanks or turret equipped tds. I love this gun though and learned to use it pretty well.

[@ballistyxwot4577]

My most-played tank @ 3.5K battles, mostly with the 76mm tho. Initially, I used the 105 and got 2nd mark, but thought that seemed too easy. I think it was much better for my overall gameplay to use the regular gun, and have reached 98.7% but consistency lets me down every time and I can't reach 100 :( The tank's quite mobile but I do find the armour a little unreliable. My new favourite is the P.43 - while not as agile, the armour is so much bouncier.

[@davorberecevic5714]

That's cool! I have just over 3.5k battles in total! 😊

[@t6finch]

This has always been my favourite tank in the game since I started playing over 10 years ago! I'm glad to see Skill making a video with it where he makes it work.

[@Cavush]

Used to be my favorite tank in the whole game, and then the HE nerfs ruined it. It’s still fun, but much less than it was.

[@alanwatts8239]

It was broken to be honest.

[@waeh7]

@@alanwatts8239 Broken is the Pz. V/IV. That is really a broken tank.

[@frustriert]

i am kind of ashamed to admit but i have roundabout 2,5k games in this vehicle. it used to have near max view range out of the box, an almost impenetrable turret and the HE of course was much better before "rework" but it still is fun in almost every single match you play in it. from one dirty seal clubber to another: you should load more HEAT, skill :3

[@auscan_media]

This is the tank that I learned the muscle memory required to play WoT, my most used tank, now it's stripped and gathering dust in the garage, HE nerf took the fun out of this tank for me. Cheers!

[@austria5892]

ah yes the m4a1sherman assault rifle... good tank.

[@peytonhenny4814]

I haven't seen you get so excited over a tier 10 game.

[@TheWitcherX]

Low tiers is where the fun is at

[@hurshelcawvey4535]

Great battles I love your gameplay!!! A lot of good players sit in the back and never get involved

[@georgiakyle1988]

This tank was my first 3 mark with the Derp gun but that was pre HE nerf..

[@Uzzgub]

A interaction to appease the 6th Chaos God, the Almighty Algorithm, a Comment for the Comment Throne

[@justdoingitjim7095]

If I'm playing tier 5 for damage I use my BDR G1 B. It has 240 alpha and 135mm of penetration, with a decent amount of armor because it's a heavy tank. I have lots of 2,000 plus games in my BDR and I'm not a unicum like Skill or even close to it.

[@blackswan6954]

I usually will play the kv 1 with the derp if I need damage, or I'll log on to sa server and use the smaller more punishing gun. But I usually stick with the top gun

[@pourlemerite]

That last game was perfect. Thanks

[@poppavein1]

My Son and RL friend liked to platoon in our derp Shermans and have over 5000 battles in it. It's been ruined. They don't play any more. Totally useless in tier 7 battle, even HEAT can't pen.

[@tvideo1189]

This was a good tank before Wargaming destroyed HE.

[@alanwatts8239]

More like a broken tank. lol

[@mikeymar1]

Another Great video, this one about my favorite tank. I have only 2 marked mine, it was the first tank I two marked, with the derp. I switched to the 76 for a bit but The Derp just works better for me. Thanks for the pointers. Keep up the great content, Skill u da man!

[@Muzzle801]

I was just saying last night that this tank is one of my all time favourites. It's got more alpha than an NFL teams Jock strap laundry bin. And it rarely misses at range even though it should!

[@geoffreyM2TW]

Fantastic games Skill, well done!

[@jariheimoluoto4959]

I used to like derp guns, but after the he castration its way too unreliable to use most derp guns.

[@CMKseven]

THAT carry on the 3rd game was a SOLID banana out of 10!

[@armandosignore3120]

Dang what a game on Airfield...congrats.

[@7wt]

My favorite tank in the game. Keep coming back to it for the giggles.

[@maddpeanut6313]

This and the PzIVH are my favorite derps. HE nerfs suck.

[@therealdohos2607]

There's one a few blocks away from where i live :D

[@edelmann4388]

nice one Skill. I don't like the derp guns when i am on teh receiving end too. :-) I never used one of the derps, not on Sherman, Pz.IVH, Stug,... I think they lost much of their power against higher tiers in last summer with HE-nerf. I prefer penetration guns. Btw. Please make video on Skoda T 40

[@edelmann4388]

Oh .. and Skill, you got lucky with MatchMaking not meeting Tier7 once and only one time the Tier 6

[@skill4ltuextra]

one day!

[@quowarrantoderspringendepu9663]

Thank you! Greetings to Katika :)

[@Joewest2k11]

Hello, Baboon Lord. Sherman was my go to tank. I had many battles with this baby. Excellent video solid banana out of 10. P.S. You forgot to apply the "Manageable Bonus to Experience" for the last battle :)

[@bartand1074]

Thx skill for playing this tank. I once asked you to Play M4 but you said "never". So never say never you Baboon King. Great performance. Great gamer. Just pure SKILL

[@skill4ltuextra]

sorry!

[@Unwritten12345]

One of my fav fun tanks, first tank which i get 3 MOE

[@harolddiaz4555]

AWESOME GAME!!!!!! LEARNING A LOT WITH YOU! GREETINGS FROM THE CARIBBEAN (PUERTO RICO). :)

[@malcolmarnold5659]

I love skill’s “Booom!”

[@homelessEh]

your trying to do a spotting mission, but the guys around you are trying to finish get Xnumber of kills missions.. you spot some full health enemies and a low health high armored tank hulldown.. team mates being tripping over them self to try and kill the hard target hiding behind the rock while the full health enemies are still moving towards your spotting location and its too late your spotted.. get killed the full health units go invisable again.. as does the still alive low health hull down target.. every one loses.. lol

[@simono4991]

Last game was very impressive!

[@Kecsketraktor42]

13:08 😄😄😄

[@JD-kg3mx]

M4A1 is one of the most frustrating tanks in the game to play. It got nerfed because WG had nothing better to do that day, and players lost so many credits playing it the tank stopped showing up in games.

[@OfficialApedog]

I love this tank, I love you Skill..Bootiful Baboon you!

[@adminassz]

I see 2 derp guns. One on the tank and the other sitting on the chair.

[@Ven_RS]

insane last game

[@sebettichains3178]

How about G 1R with derp :) ?

[@pavelkrenek8422]

Remember golden days of derp. I remember once my gf went to bathroom and until she was done with bathing i did 3 top guns during 30 minutes.

[@nitbot]

Remember when this tank had 150mm penetration HEAT? It was so broken lol

[@FatKidHimself]

I did not know baboon lives in nest.

[@tlwisner]

Thanks for Extra - the derp used to be awesome, but it still works. GG

[@skill4ltuextra]

pleasure is mine

[@Hemebean]

Amazing last game !

[@lifeisbeautiful1974]

Loved the game, Skill!

[@peytonhenny4814]

"... for the sake of the content." I have to remember that one LOL

[@gitfoad8032]

Hetzer next?

[@max_halcon]

I see... Im here at time! Also skill... 1 question, do you know spanish? Or just a few words?

[@TheWittmannoo7]

Skiiillll , still no VK30.02D.

[@svendollbaum1338]

Great show my friend :)

[@TheXkno1]

GG mate.

[@luke_3_113]

Seal clubber :P

[@no1noob194]

I three marked M4 with the 76mm gun as the 105mm is useless vs tier 7's IMO.

[@davorberecevic5714]

I finally have a Baboon logo on all of my tanks! XD Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! #SolidBananaOutOf10

[@jean-philippemorin1176]

No luck for the luchs...

[@jamesbarnett4844]

Great games!

[@Pittsburgh-412]

Man this tank is a beast lol

[@crumbman]

For that last game I have you a banana/10. If only my games with derp guns would look like this but you have to get close which means you either need armor or a someone not expecting you to or someone else to take the shot for you which kinda rarely happens. Sadly most times you either miss, or hit something you can't pen. Day 38 of asking for a video with the Jagdpanzer IV.

[@archangel_rx6009]

Amazing

[@davidaio1019]

You don't need that arty perk skill said yes i need it because i'm playing with almost all sounds muted... Because i'm listening music that the skill4tu is singing... 😊 P.S. as i'm not good enough player well most of my stats are only better than 85-95% of players... I'm still getting that good rng with really derpy guns. I loved to play with derp gun on this MT... But only for fun... If i will mark it in the future i will use the 75mm gun. 😜 (let's just hope i will still be a simple guy by then ---> not a streamer) and nobody will make me a challenge to mark it with derp gun. 🤪

[@andrewfrost546]

Just like my T6, derp all the way

[@foksi3479]

I have 3rd marks on sherman its beautiful tank

[@blackswan6954]

How long did that take?

[@triyo1089]

Yo i just had a 2.5 dmg game today to 😂

[@triyo1089]

In the m4a1

[@ikramomar751]

Day 1 : skilllll play S35 CA please oh Lord baboon

[@Zermu]

Hey Skill, as a Finnish person i must ask why do i feel like half of your tanks have Finnish flags on them?

[@lucidnonsense942]

you can redeem chat points to have flags on tanks when new ones come out - 1st come, 1st served.

[@Tommy1198S]

1st team was kaku.

[@bleanard]

Huzzah!

[@mikazukiaugus6321]

I prefer M4A1 Sherman equipped the 76w mm gun the post penetration is good, Gun accuracy awesome to respond against enemy tank.

[@joe125ful]

Still not best as KV-2 with old HE:)

[@BatmansBelt999]

Makes me want to play lower tiers gg

[@RedDawn1324]

I hate WG for the HE nerf. I love your content, but I'll be so glad when WOT goes under.

[@TheRealPulverize]

day 34 T21

[@xFajFekx]

Asking for VK 30.01 (H) day 13

[@homelessEh]

gotta bash the new players up if no one does. when they get to teir 6 they are just gonna quit becaus it appears the games difficulty goes from "mildly frustratingly hard to impossible give up every rounds a complete dice roll.. .. its better to set the cold harsh truth in on them early if they cant hack it at teir 2,3,4,5 they have no business progressing past that teir the game only gets more cut throat and insulting as a form of entertainment to hopeful Casuals. iv played wot in na since beta. i play nearly daily but as entertainment world of tanks best part is playing with a Few people and the Ai Bots at teir 5 and under. teir 6 and up is just so mercelessly cut throat complete with punishments as it becomes easier and easier to blow rounds with -20k credit deficit.

[@edelmann4388]

you are right in some points sadly but true. The last battle here showed the camping mentality nicely in beginning and some of them didn't do anything but donating their HP to the red team. And it is a truth that with entering Tier6 battles and above life gets hard for new players. each tier higher the worse it gets, tier4 mit up to tier 6, and the tier 6..... Well, say like this "premium WoT" even as f2p.

[@owenbowley6905]

skieeeeeeeeeeeell!!!! day 15+ asking for chi-ri! tier 7 skoda t50!

[@homelessEh]

9th like from canada :) stay safe skeeeil stay away from roving russian stalkers planting flags on your front lawn.

[@close_ca1195]

Day 80: KV-2 long pp

[@asdsafasf3]

give the type 5 the camo and mobility of this tank

[@chris-jq1se]

Used to be one of my favorite tanks, but now derp guns are PAY TO PEN... F wg
