The Soviet Railgun Tank

Decal affiliate link: tinyurl.com/42...
The Soviet Object 120 is a tank destroyer with a massive 152mm cannon. It fires very high-velocity APFSDS and HEAT but also gets a relatively powerful high explosive round. That's what we're going to be using today. You definitely get some more Gaijin moments, but I think it's more fun.

The Soviet Railgun Tank

[@Spookston]

I do agree that the new mic sounds a bit worse, but it did make audio recording and audio cleanup a lot easier. I felt like I could talk more naturally without worrying about if I was talking into the mic or not. I might be able to clean up some of the plosives and that sort of hum it has to it, but this time I wanted to see how it would do with mininal audio cleanup.

[@chunkysushicatman6131]

it was kinda aggresive on my ears compared to the og mic but yeah keep working on it

[@martinvomsozialamt334]

it has a more natural sound to me, not that super hifi sound. Quite pleasing to the ear on a big system :)

[@TheSpartan008]

It's definitely not bad! It's not nearly as crisp though - it's hard to describe, but the quality is just... sleepier, in a way? I didn't feel as engaged throughout the video. If it's better for you, than absolutely go for it, but I personally noticed it right away. Good content as always :)

In regards to the audio quality, i do think it sounds just a tad bit less crisp than before but if the headset is more comfortable then by all means go for it, it’s not so different

[@gokaiohno2717]

It's got a nice warm quality that I kinda enjoy.

[@herrerasauro7429]

Yeah, it's not a bad mic, but it's lacking something. It sounds a little flat, honestly if he had never used the better mic I'd be completely fine with it, but now I miss the old voice.

[@viktoriyaserebryakov2755]

@@mote_vengador2832 I think you misunderstand. When I say CAS is the issue I'm cheekily referring to the way Gaijin balances the game. They balance solely on statistical data (unless people keep buying the premium of course) and thus the more higher a priority target the 120 becomes (justifiably), because it's extremely dangerous, it's a very easy target for CAS so why not, and I hate you, which artificially deflates the performance of the vehicle. Thus why it looks bad on paper and Gaijin moves it down. Because they're a bunch of corporate bankers that look at pie charts and don't actually play the game. I have the Object 120. It is a very good vehicle. But I can't go three minutes into the game without pissing somebody off, taking someone's entire revenge load to my face and the aircraft's fuselage down my throat. Unnecessarily wasteful method of sharing how much you hate someone if you ask me. Therefore, artificially, the vehicle now 'sucks', and is much harder to do well in than it otherwise should.

[@mlgrocket]

the object 120 is so much fun, especially if you get up tiered to 7.7 and go up against germany. maus players always think their armor will save them, until they get a 400mm pen dart round to the front plate. while it has no armor (the log has more armor than anywhere else on the tank, 100mm compared to 30mm), it's amazing when you get a good spot. my favorite time i had was when i pissed off a maus player cause he kept shooting my dead commander, wondering how he can't kill me, and i just slowly killed his crew. people also think the 120 is OP at 7.3, the ONLY good thing about it is the gun/dart round, it is far from OP. it's also very easy to kill as long as you don't shoot the engine.

Hi Spookston, just my 2 cents, but the old mic setup sounded much crisper and clearer. You sound like a radio DJ with this new setup. It's not necessarily bad, but I prefer the way the old setup sounds for sure. But if it makes your workflow much easier then it makes sense.
