If you are in lower tier battles, you'll wish you had cali so you could pen those upper tier tanks.

[@dzulfujiwara6054]

Most pen in in tier 7 was panther and tiger 1 tho

[@grgblitz]

I agree! Equipments is some of the things that could change, not just the armor or penetration! Why dont WG create new equipments that really do good diference in the tank's playstyle? A good example would be the "improved vertical stabilizer" or "improved suspention" of the Type 71 T10 japanese heavy. That is something really interesting to choose from, not 3% more armor or 4% more hitpoints. In Tier 10, 4% more hitpoints in this same tank is just 102 hitpoint more, which barely makes a diference. It´s not even a single shot more of hitpoints. I really think WG could make equipments more interesting to work with.

[@Michrt4]

the vk 72 also got some special equipment

[@8_L1NK]

Those 102 hp could be the difference between life or death. Did someone hit u when u had 500 and u died because he has 550 alpha well now u have 650hp and can take the shot. did you get set on fire? 150hp could be the difference between life and death

[@Rebekka0508]

Improved assembly could actually saves you from a shot. 600 hp to compare with 712 hp could make a different against 640 alpha ( the only exception is you're unlucky and got high roll'd) or below

[@RyukuTheShadow]

If I see sandbags available I choose HP over armor. I done that to VK72, T110E4 and mle 54. Didn't feel much difference in tanking but feel much safer with those 200+ extra HP.

[@yoshineitor]

@8_L1NK that's always the same old cope, unless you are running a paper tank you are better bouncing even a t100lt shell to save you from losing a whole 300hp.

[@sanzyboy3952]

In wot pc people are saying gold noob little do they know that in wot blitz calibrated shells are an absolute game changer Penetration is extremely important on any tank and shouldn't be understated

[@The_Jonkler4]

Yeah but in wotb you lose alpha when you load gold so spamming it will nuke your dpm.if you spam gold on wot pc your just basically cheating by penning all of ur shells with no effort whatsoever.

[@elysummitry9559]

For those who are still sticking to the Gun Rammer. I'll put it in a simplier terms - Gun Rammer needs to be activated constantly by shooting, it is not permanently active. It is less practical to use in a match and have it in the wrong tank type that needs you to fight EVERY inch of space in the map. Cali Ammos are constantly providing you active buff. It allows you to have a CHANCE to fight back. Whilst DPM is cool, Pen is much cooler as it allows you to pen more depending on your skills and get more shots and damage in. .5% isn't that rapid for a change. Pen always saves you and win you more to fight fair against the enemies who runs equipments and upgrades to counter that. Remember, Taking Space in the maps and having fair fights won matches.

[@elysummitry9559]

Using gun rammer as healer in game modes, like in mad games is alright.

[@yuriyshestakov3579]

Well, rammer is still kind of useful for some vehicles, especially ones that have apcr shells as prammo. See very little reason to run cali on, say Tornvagn, or strv81, rammer, on the other hand, while being nerfed pretty badly, is, still, kind of useful.

[@chaosincarnate3724]

Gun rammer is a permanent change in your guns reload boy.... what are you talking about. I think youre confusing it with the consumable

[@KevinEnjoyer]

Depends on the tank. A tank destroyer like a Jageroo should have a rammer, where that one second might be the difference between life and death. But for tanks like the leo, dpm is already so high that calibrated shells won't hurt you in a knife fight against a medium, but will do wonders against heavies and TDs.

[@chaosincarnate3724]

@KevinEnjoyer bruv imagine not sticking cali ona. Jg, making HE worth the shot

[@KhanhCacDaoNguyen]

Rather have shots that are guaranteed to pen than dpm + keep in mind gun rammer is nerfed and calibrated is buffed

[@craigmc9947]

I didn't even know there was a debate about this

Yeah exactly. Let them run rammer. I need all the help I can get.

[@rimfire2642]

Yep. Been doing this for a while. If you can't pen "dpm" doesn't mean jack **** . In some cases I also choose calibrated shells over improved ventilation.

[@AvalancheBlitz]

Bro, nobody chooses vents, cali is always cool

[@rimfire2642]

@@AvalancheBlitz There's 1 or 2 tanks I run vents. On a couple it made more sense to run vents, because they way. I's rwll you which ones but then ...I consider it an advantage so.

[@Choophane]

Ventilation is most useless equipment in the game bro

[@rimfire2642]

@@Choophane Sometimes it's a matter of numbers. If you understand percentages, then you must realize that sometimes the increase is not enough to make an effectve difference. Vents is actually very powerful, just in terms of current meta calibrated probably 98% of the time is the better choice.

[@Choophane]

@rimfire2642 Yeah, percentage is actually does something, but if we gonna talk about how small it is, I'll better skip that speech and will be bout to choose cali. Vents is only working good in pc version bcuz of variation of different types of vent and a little buff in equipment slot

[@o2l77]

Y can make the case that Hori doesn’t need more pen, but even for Hori your pen values are subject to variation so I use cali, and cali does make a pen more certain against some armor. So yeah, agree, I use CS on pretty much much all tanks

[@BlitzerAcer]

Ho-Ri literally has too much pen and is overkill to use cali....... Which is why I run Cali on it

[@Choophane]

Haha, also using Cali for the Hori just for fun and just to tell myself while loading gold shells "Uh bro, why u all got no armor?"

[@egandsa2529]

As a person who uses rammer alot . I have changed my view after what droodles has said . However rammer is a better option for tanks with hight pen values . Like the hori , jg e100 , obj 268.

[@BenPlaysBlitz]

You have a point, but with jag id still run cali bc if you MUST pen your shots cuz of that long reload. And ho ri is kinda fun to run with cali, you literally can autoaim at anything and pen lol

[@marringlwngass]

Bro was not going to sleep now Yep it's pointless to run rammer

[@ReaceIngham-d7b]

Correct Sir,,,👍👏🔥

[@AkumaOfThunder]

If you are not shooting within the milliseconds deducted by gun rammer after every shot then you are not maximizing it.That is why we don't run gun rammer.

[@nyishin4831]

If they buff rammer like 10-15% increase in DPM, It would be nice to use .

[@haiminhtran6170]

15 would be a bit too op, but about 10% can make it worth the debate. Also, reduce the extra pen from calibrated shells OR give back to us 4% from enhanced armor

[@OneWhoKnowsThings6009]

Enchsnced should be 5% tbh

[@minh1645]

No, just nerf cali

[@Top-Gun7725]

Thanks droods, very helpful video. Def running Cali

[@andrewandrew3923]

Another thing to consider. Dpm assumes your shooting instantly after reload for a minute straight. So +200 dpm on a 400 alpha gun means you’ll squeeze out one extra shot every 2 minutes lol. And you’ll almost never be shooting back to back to back

[@yuriyshestakov3579]

I’d partially agree. Sometimes cali is better, for some tanks… the whole “you need rammer for the flat side of the Maus” is so incomplete. 1) You need to be able to reload quicker if you have to shoot before something happens(say your opponent gets behind the cover, shoots at you, gets killed by your teammate, etc), and, quite sometimes, that’s the situation. 2) For some tanks(really high pen, or really low pen), cali is not that useful. If you drive something like cs, you would still be hunting for soft targets, cali or not, and cali on something like jager? Just why, you still are able to pen everything, that you need to pen. Of course, for most of the tanks, it’s calibrated shells, but for some, rammer is still an option. So, personally I, with all respect to Droodles, is still not entirely convinced.

[@sneaky_killswit9972]

My argument beats anything droodles said in this video and it is the fact that I have common blitz syndrome called monkey brain, which makes me think "more dpm, more damage"

[@dalemoore692]

If you are unable to penetrate armor, how could gun rammer ever be better?

[@Capt_Blue_Balls]

Ever since your first video on cali, i switched out off rammer on all my tanks

[@Hi-how-are-you-today.]

3:13 now we are doing car references 😂

[@Nultan3309]

Calibrated shells have always been my go-to as well as enhanced armor. You can absolutely bully enemies who use the same tank with rammer and increased health instead of calibrated shells and increased armor.

[@carllinden533]

Calibrated shells is the only equipment I never skip even If I'm not unlocking anything else

[@mrbruh9537]

Cali is just simply better I can make up the difference with provisions and adrenaline while not sacrificing armor pen

[@Caliban_Cam]

Running cali is so much better, i run cali on ANYTHING with HEAT/HESH/HE as main, its stupid not to.

[@gunguy5409]

People who choose gun rammer are waiting for the best possible moment. But people who run with calibrated shell are running for any kind of moment

[@Meepoth]

Almost lost a match today cause our stb couldn't pen a vk90. He told us he was running rammer

[@Jeff_Savior]

even with calibrated shells it's very hard to penetrate vk90 on stb, so it's maybe not was a reason, maybe this player just bad, or vk player was little bit better)

[@pdo8067]

Unless you play something like STRV K (315mm -> 331mm with cali) or CS-63 (290mm -> 305mm with cali) that has APCR as pemium ammunition and mediocre penetration on it anyways + APCR gets the least bonus to penetration. Tanks with HEAT prammo or with bigger penetration on APCR e. g. Super Conq with 320mm -> 336mm pen with Cali are worth running Cali on, but some tanks are still not the case for it in my personal opinion. If I missed it somewhere in the vid lmk

[@dannybeeh6332]

The only time you should run gun rammer is if you are driving a tank with insane pen to begin with, like a Ho Ri Type III… or an ISU152…

[@Choophane]

As a cali main user, can agree with you, at least for that extra reload speed, u are not able to use it all the DPM. So when u hiding or enemy and nobody fights for some moment, this make increased DPM useless. In overall, I'll better hit somebody with increased chance of penetration, than having extra reload speed (it's good only with tanks with a huge ammount of penetration on basic shells)

[@CorneK011]

I absolutely slept on this. My obj 268 just got 48 more heat penetration which is just so crazy honestly. Thanks lol😅

[@samuelhammock6554]

I only ever run rammer on low tier tanks where the 6 or 7mm of pen just isn't worth it.

[@shellshocked7167]

You are CORRECT sir!

[@mf1936]

Even prior to the most recent change I found calibrated shells to be the better option

[@EconomicsMate1]

Calibrated shells has always been my go to for tanks that have guns over 130mm or guns with HEAT or HESH. But for everything else, rammer is just better. Its my opinions so

[@Mr.Krzemien]

Bros playing wotblitz while in minecraft

[@drpotatocat492]

Yeah, after watching your videos and changing to Calibrated shells. My average damages have increased a lot. Being able to actually put out damage will always be better than higher possible DPM.

[@jaketopia1]

I prefer calibrated because its effect moves the threshold for penetrating effectively without you having to take advantage of it. Sure you might be over penetrating but thats better than bouncing. While gun ramer only matters if you are constantly shooting. What if you are doing peekaboo? And your trying to get the opponent the fire hastily but they just won’t bite. Well all that extra DPM is literally useless.

[@JimothyLeBeefy]

I know where rammer is good, or at least fun. When youre using the E25 in game modes, having that ridiculously fast reload as big boss is hilarious

[@Veanixonn_]

It's better to actually hit the target 2 times a minute and do damage, than hit him 5 times as much and do absolutely nothing

[@Fochie155]

Gun rammer is like turning on adrenaline and staying on cover without shooting or enemy is camping far away from you it's pointless

[@GenXHBGaming]

Less than 1500 battle noob here... I was pretty much only using rammer on my auto loaders and re-loaders, along with food to shave off as much of the reload time as I could. I switched them all to cali to give that a try

[@Rebekka0508]

Vent doesn't do much on magazine, unless you're very confident about tank's penetration.

[@B-C_Bourrasque105]

I'm not trying to argue at all about the best of the 2 (which is clear), but I'm still going to tell the advantages of rammer -Having that quicker reload against the same tank makes you often get 2 shells when they get only one -If you push someone, you're going to take them out faster and get out of danger faster -If your playstyle makes you fight 90% of lightly armored tanks, rammer is going to be more useful for you (But not the second you fight a single armored tank) Then again, rammer before was better, and viable on some tanks like the Leopard for example, but since the nerf Cali is so much better it's not even fair The only advantage of rammer is seeing your dpm number go hella high in the stats, which is funny (But you'll still switch back to cali before starting a battle)

[@SheepStrategist]

0:27 Do SKLLD players count too?! Jokes aside you've got some good points here, cool video

[@You_mfs]

I would suggest to run rammer when using a Japanese tank tho. They already have insanely good penetration values.

[@Eric_Gurt]

No

[@valerioboccia5627]

Since the equipment change i instantly switched to calibrated on every single tank in the game. Rammar needs to give 10% more dpm to compete with calibrated at this point

[@Jeff_Savior]

if ur heavy tank doesn't have at least 330 pen on gold, u r 100% need calibrated shells, but talking about medium and light tanks all depends of ur skill and playstyle. And smth about T62 - his upper armor plate have no armor, even if it looks red, so u don't need calibrated shells to penetrate this tank.

[@humpythewhale]

Me running vents on my four-shot BC 25T because I'm not going hull down against an E 50 M anyway: 🗿 Also, it really depends on the tank. You want to maximise damage per minute on a tank like a Leo 1 because it's a strong point for the tank. It's fine. Imo if you're trying to go hull down against anything in a Leo 1 you're doing something wrong, especially when you're trading against a tank with good turret armour. But in something like an E100 or any high-caliber tank where each shot matters then running rammer really isn't it, ESPECIALLY if you have HEAT. Why have mid heat pen on your IS 4 when you can have 374. I agree with droodles on majority of his takes but I don't think Rammer is completely useless for every tank. It ultimately comes down to your playstyle and preference and really, if you're sitting in front of a E 100 or OBJ 268 version 4 with a tank you can justify running rammer for then what are you doing.

[@WOTBXPOSEDchannel]

I haven't run rammer for ages. Pen is the key, not more shots.

[@Michrt4]

Depends, if apcr is premium ammo (apcr is trash compared to ap or heat) it changes nothing

[@copythat9040]

If they actually made armor more relevent in blitz even with calibrated shells would be amazing so that it's more like on pc where you have a lot of no guarentee pens instead of just pure rng bounces on wierd angles and tracks absorbing shells that way they would make the games last longer

[@jankapan8893]

Mee seeing the screenshot thinking you recommended not running enhanced Armour.

[@yoshineitor]

The Balance between rammer and cali was better before, now running gun rammer is masochism. Another indirect nerf to non-autoloaders btw, as having access to rammer was a plus to normal gun tanks.

[@vitality113]

i think the only tank where gun rammer is fine is the hori, cos you can literally pen everything with 380 ap anyway

[@RyukuTheShadow]

Question is, should we also put calibrated shells on pen adequate tanks? For me this question stands for t110e4, Jag E100 and Ho-Ri.

[@TheShardsFamily]

Another problem is more pen is always active, it's always working Rammer only really works if you are firing constantly Honestly rammer should just give you a 25-50 percent reduced reload after firing like every 30seconds or something idk Remember it's dpm, you have to shoot every time it's reloaded right away for 60 seconds....your not gonna be staring someone down for a whole minute

[@EAP2023]

so its like auto loader without auto loader but with rammer

[@TheShardsFamily]

@EAP2023 basically just not as good as a proper auto loader, basically it needs to give a benefit somehow that doesn't make someone feel like they should sit out an shoot everytime they have a shell It needs some ability to store an release that increased dpm in small burst Or could make it a a active ability like a consumable And or go for high risk reload, get a instant reload bur have like a 50 percent change of a jam and need to repair the cannon to fire again

[@tzairamaranto3447]

Hey Droodles! I've been encountering more E100 with the "stock" gun, and their dpm is quite good... What do you think about that option?

[@marringlwngass]

[@williamb.8762]

With where cali is now, does it make sense to run enhanced armor on any tank?

[@goaway7346]

Everything you said is technically correct. However, it's an RNG based game. DPM is not AFFECTED by GR or CS, its CONTROLLED by RNG. RNG is affected by how much money you pay. That's how "pay to win" has been implemented in this game.

[@Bankis221]

Right, can i still use calibrated shell for my grill15? Not sure bc its already good without it

[@PRORAGEGUY]

i think gun rammer good if you dont care about penetration and just shoot as much as you want. i think KV-2 is a good example for that, i dont really care about the pen(for KV-2 specifically), the HE alone already good for the majority of enemy. making you able to spam HE with it is good if you just want to unleash hell. the calibrated shell mayne allow you to pen with ap or apcr, but with sheer tank with more armor than kv-2 pen, like M6, churchill, juto, vk 36, arl. not even mentioning tier 7

[@FuryKnightss]

Is it worth running Cali with APCR? Or just run Vents

[@Whiycddas8]

Run vents only in the Bat to get the most effective view range (important in lights) and other buffs. Apcr in general says nothing because even if it didnt get buffed it still is a better option than rammer

[@a_person_of_all_time]

For me i usually go cali unless the tank has base 330-340 heat/310-320 AP prammo pen. After that point getting more pen isn't as valuable as the dpm, because the base pen that you have would be enough to pen most heavies frontally
