back in the days the s35ca had a 105mm long gun, so pretty acurate. It was basicaly the bathtub version of the su100 but a tier lower.

[@zantri117]

the gun was so fun and brutal

[@juanjodpr]

That gun was a wn8 machine. I remember doing 3 shots of damage and I had like 2000 wn8. The tier 5 was absolute paper, so you would blow up in seconds after being detected but the insane penetration could butcher even tier 8 tanks.

[@zantri117]

@@juanjodpr Yup! the bathtub of death

[@Wolvenworks]

Downside of that 105 is the very long reload and terrible accuracy.

[@Collin_Cooper]

I bet one day it will be rereleased as a tier 6 prem with nerfed gun handling just like the ISU-152K.

[@messinberver4683]

The S35 CA used to have a 105mm gun. The same one on the ARL V39. It was so fun back in the day to rush to the frontline and brawl, doing easy 1k dmg

[@LOeuffy]

I was playing this tank with this gun, it was so fun.

[@DaKdawg]

Still is pretty fun to use though. I've found it enjoyable to frustrate players that find the armor bouncy. Fun after game chats have been had in the terrible tub.

[@qwantum_7821]

You guys should have played the FOCH 155 after the FOCH B. The 155 is pretty fun in close combat!

[@Jirioo]

yep, the foch b is better but the 155 is also pretty fun

[@tharkun2872]

The tier 5 was once called the bathtub of doom for a reason, it was so much fun to have a pay to win gun with 320 alpha on tier 5 with apcr

[@chitandaeru7239]

I don't understand why they removed the 105mm of the T5 french TD. Nobody was complaining about that and it was one of the things that made it unique.

[@AwesomeEpicGuys]

Good french tank???? Nerf!!

[@Wolvenworks]

Because it was too fun. You’re not supposed to have fun with French TDs.

It's amazing seeing two friends like you guys having so much fun playing this game. Me and my buddy used to have a lot of fun playing it but over the years the game got so much worse that it became a constant stream of screaming our hatred at each other. So we quit WoT and just play fun games again.

[@eetulehtinen7304]

I used to play WOT and war thunder but WOT was going so fast downhill i just stopped playing it and went full war thunder.

[@Sleelan]

I remember a common wisdom about this line from almost a decade ago - their aimtime is so bad with the top gun, that by the time you're fully aimed the enemy has left your 10 degrees of gun traverse and you have to move again

[@justjosh11]

You'll always be the most fun CCs. The music editing is top tier, really amps up the tempo.

Here it is Wednesday, middle of the day, I don't feel like working. I get up and get another cup of coffee, come back and KZbin has a new notification for me: A new AEG vid. This is just what I was needing, a midweek meme infusion. Great stuff AEG! You guys are the best. How about some Swedish mediums for the next vid?

[@filippivonka5181]

Anybody else noticed the hype music? I am pretty sure it's the same song from the first ever Foch B compilation. Right when this tank came out. Absolutely amazing. Thank you guys!

[@LOeuffy]

This video was very cool to watch as the french TD tech tree was the first tech tree that I played until the tier X years ago. I'll give you my point of view (it was when I was a beginner tho, so take this in count). Tier IV : Somua Sau 40 : Yeah, bad tank, bad gun, bad mobility, bad armor, bad camo, there's nothing to save on this tank, I also hated it. Tier V : S35 CA : One of my favourite tank in the whole game, years ago it has the strong 105mm gun that was really fun to play. Well even if WG removed it, I still like the S35 CA, the last games I did with it one month ago were great and with a friend we made a great carry + win, anyway I love the 90mm gun so I still play with it. A friend of me (in the past, I didn't had news about him in a while) learned me about this tank's nickname, the bathtub, in french, La Baignoire, this makes me laughs so much, I think you know him, it's fcmf1ishere, is he fine? Long time no see dude, if you see this comment, hope everything is fine in your life and a huge thanks to you, I watch Girls und Panzer only because you told me about this anime, this is my favourite anime of all time now. xD Tier VI : ARL V39 : One of the worst tank I have to played in the past, well I was a beginner, with a stock tank using a tier III gun... I didn't had the tracks, I hated this tank so much. Maybe today I could like it since I'm better than the beginner I was at that time but still, this tank brings me back vietnam flashbacks. Tier VII : AMX AC 46 : I just loved this tank, it was my second tier VII and I really loved it, despite the huge weakspots he have, I managed at that time to use my armor and as you said, it have a great pen. Tier VIII : AMX AC 48 : I also loved this tank, it was my first tier VIII, at that time, it didn't had an autoloader, still it was a fun tank to play. Tier IX : Foch : Ferdinand Foch was a french general of WWI, he is behind the victory of the french army at the battle of the Marne (1914) and was the Supreme Allied Commander in 1918. Anyway, the tank was also very fun to play, my first tier IX tank, I really liked it, well it's just an AC 48 but in tier IX, no autoloader in the past too tho. Tier X : Foch (155) : As you said Edvin, at that time, the tier X was the Foch (155), it was also my first tier X tank and still today, I really like this tank, long reload, but great gun, 293mm pen, 750 dmg, 3 shells in the autoloader, I really like this tank even if I hate the tier X games. Tier X : Foch B : I loved the AC 48, the Foch and the Foch (155), I hated the Foch B, without premium ammunition this tank is really annoying to play especially with the new meta as you said at the end of the video, I really prefer the Foch (155) and I was never agree with people saying that this was a french WT auf E 100, with 257mm pen in tier X, it was painful to play (I don't play with premium ammunition). Bonus : Tier II : FT AC : funny autoloader, but nothing more, well tbh I don't have many memories of this tank. Tier III : Renault UE 57 : funny tank, great gun, fast reload, good dmgs and great camo. Really funny to play and also, very cute tank. Also, I never played the AC 48 and the Foch since their new autoloader gun, maybe one day I'll try again, this would bring me nostalgia lmao.

[@robinemlther498]

Thanks for featuring my "FUNNY" moment in the IS-7. Great video again!

Great content, Thx Edvin and Zwatsh.

[@ejdem0994]

You should definitely review our Czechoslovakian mediums (do not forget about the tier 3, with its top gun it is absolutely crazy, try it out!). And btw I love your content and also I watch you already for like 7 or so years and I am really happy for you that you keep up the good work and also smile on your faces. Love you guys and I am looking forward the new videos!🎉❤🗿

[@LyroiVEVO]

6:00 when that song started playing, I thought “Oh this is gonna end in 2 seconds”, BUT IT DIDNT

[@jakabrobert96]

I always love when players repair their tracks after getting their first hit from a Foch B, like that will stop them from getting permatracked after the second shot :D

[@ulyssebelkhir106]

It's nice to see Zwhatsh point of vue 😊

[@admiralbone9206]

I miss when the bathtub got the 105

[@o-hogameplay185]

9:12 the french 10mm gun with the "300" damage is actually around 250.. it is painful once i had a clip with the lorrain 40t, that dealt ~940 damage from a full clip (from 4*300 avg shots, and it wasn't even like destroyed a tank, it was 4 normal shot)

[@tymus5919]

Lmao the thumbnail, veri gut

The Sau 40 is the Doom Tumor and the Bathtub is a shadow of its former self.

s35 ca had the pay-to-win gun for some time too, they removed it though :(

[@j-p_t7978]

I really enjoyed your lat

[@neilirving8704]

IMO The AMX AC-48 is one of the best tier 8 tech tree tanks. Great burst damage. Great gun for the tier - pens everything. Decent mobility. Even the armour sort of works.

[@m.l.3649]

Very nice, I vote K-91 line next.

[@Daniel-Decoy-019]

Hits tier 8, music changes from slow and derpy to metal rage.

As a player who play French tech tree this is pretty much accurate here 😂

[@wotdragonracer5624]

Why not do the is7 or the obj 268 line? Quite good tanks back in the day and can still perform well now with good experience

[@juanjodpr]

The S35 CA had a very disgusting gun until not too long ago, a 105mm gun with insane penetration and 330 alpha iirc. It was very strong but the platform was bad as hell. Now the platform remains bad but the gun was removed. This whole tech tree isn't the best but in the past the Foch 155 was a monster that could run at almost 60 km/h with great power engine. The low penetration is a pain so I'm not surprised when I see players loading full gold.

[@IJN_Ch4p1n]

In French, we don't says '' plan baguette '' or '' operation baguette '' but we says : '' VIVE LA FRANCE ! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷'' (yes, yes, I am XD). So good video! Thanks guys! But, wg do reduction in the Japanese super heavy tanks, but, don't buff it lol

There are plenty of great choices to get into, but I think that the japanese heavy tanks should go first. Not because they're overpowered, but because you make vehicles like these work pretty well.
