For me, the most disgusting tank in WoT is the 105 LEFH18B2 - an arty which reloads faster than many other MT/HT/TD. And with another arty, god forbid - 2 more, and another LEFH (and the absolute nightmare scenario of 3x LEFH...), they can perma track/modules damage you to death in a short time - from across the map when no one can even see them...

[@CdeM]

I'm not sure how it is now - stopped playing WoT for good about 2ish years ago - but for the longest time a silly amount of lower tier matches could be decided by who had an LeFH18B2/the most LeFH18B2s on their team. They were absolutely on my priority target list, alongside T67s and, a few tiers previous, Pz. I Cs. Sometimes even sacrificing yourself just to get rid of certain tanks was the lesser evil.

[@Tiberiotertio]

Nope they can´t, they have a reach on most maps of only about 2/3s of the map and need to move forward to hit the other side. A M44 or a GW Panther can easily reach the other side of the map when sitting on the very back of their side but a LeFH18B2 can´t do that.

[@retardcorpsman]

Imo, the lefh is just tier V version of the FV304. It isnt particularly OP, but it is hella annoying to deal with.

[@Kude1707]

LEFH was only op back when arty could platoon these days its annoying but not overly dangerous though its view range is still disgusting

[@nougan_gamer]

@@Kude1707 Not sure I understand you... Arty can still platoon these days, and even when they don't, if you are the first one being spotted or just unlucky they all decided to focus fire on you, you can expect rain of fire on you to perma tracked/stunned/module damaged, & then sit there wait for your death. But with leFH's high rate of fire, it just takes 2 or even 1 (if you repair kit already on cooldown) to have the same result.

He should have sat in the cap until the last few seconds before killing the BT. That way he could have had Invader, too! The only thing wrong with the FCM36PAK40 is that it's a German vehicle (built on a French chassis), but it's considered French.

[@entropiated9020]

The lefh is the scourge of the lower tiers, and it's largely run by try hard stat padders looking to club seals. It's really disgusting to see how some game the system. Personally, after a certain amount of games, I'd make tier 5 and below off limits to players. You can grind a new line, but once it's elited you can't take the tank out anymore. Give refunds for any premium tanks, or give good exchange rates to trade them for tier 6+ prems

[@brandonr2906]

That was the last straw. The bourrasque and T100 were big factors too .

[@casuscnactus4864]

LeFH isnt that bad most of the time it is also pretty inaccurate but if it catches you on track most ppl dont have repair crews on that tier yet so that is a truly disgusting experience. But then again you have to be hit in succession for another maybe 10 times to be put out of your misery if you are a heavy tank and it has no splash radius whatsoever for near misses to still impact the tracks. The worst (broken) aspect about LeFH is certainly the view range which is likely the source of them carrying much more of their games than an artillery piece should be able to. I consider vehicles like this FCM to be far worse because they aren't so extremely dependant on RNG while still maintaining insane stats in certain departments that have fallen out of time.

[@mybadluckcharm]

I got this tank a long time ago, when i started playing, because it wasn't expensive. I stopped playing it because 1) when i got to the sow40 TD, i wasn't interested in the French TD line anymore, and 2) it trolls me SOOO much, ungh. And damnably slow. So it's a museum piece, now. * Actually, that'd be kinda cool, if we had a virtual museum in-game, where we could stick our unused tanks, and they stay out of the tank list...

[@naclcube6558]

Similar to my experience. Also stopped being interested in the french TDs around that TD. :P I have tons of museum pieces. Sad they collect dust. Many are too low a tier for me to bother. If I could still 'fail toon' with them just a little then I might play them.

I'm playing some low tier games to get Ace on every tank I've played and it's impossible to play 10 games in a row lower than tier 5 because of tanks like this : between OP prems like this FCM, the Pz II J, the Pz 38 H, the LeFH arty, the Pz S35 and Pz B2 and OP tech tree tanks like M2 Light or Pz I C, it's barely unplayable. Too much sealclubbers used these tanks, every game you have at least 2 or 3 of these things. I'm a good player and even with all my knowledge of the game mechanics, in a bad or just a normal tank, it's pretty hard to do something so how new players can have fun while playing ? WG does not care, they still sell toxic tank at every tier because money is more important than balancing the game.

[@juanjodpr]

Deathstar was nerfed BEFORE being made 'special' as it was the Foch 155. Yeah, that 270 mm pen HESH round could surprise you in a very explosive way.

[@stopher2385]

Deathstar isn't a premium tank. Yes it has the gold icon in the garage, but it's a reward vehicle, not a premium. Premium tanks make extra credits. WG will nerf reward tanks as no one spent money on them. Type 59 and the Super Pershing both got nerfed many years ago, WG met such an outrage that they swore off of nerfing premium tanks ever again.

[@brag0001]

@@stopher2385 I'd even make the argument that the Super Pershing didn't need it. They only nerfed it because it deceived noobs with its frontal spaced armor. The actual win rate according to them wasn't that much of an issue ... And that's why I think them being cowards in that regard is unwarranted. People returned their tanks because they nerfed it into the ground and refused to take responsibility. If they had continued to balance them, the outage would have died down eventually. I guess the returns hurt them so much financially back then that an executive decision was made back then. This probably saved them in the short run. And they not try to make up for the "no nerf" policy with power creeping. That way they get the best of both worlds. Kids are not complaining and you still have to by new tanks every now and then if you want an OP tank ...

[@Schmeethe88]

Yeah, honestly the accuracy changes were bad for the game. Used to be, brawling tanks got in to brawl not because the maps *forced* you, through narrow corridors, tall buildings, and huge rocks/clifffs- but because you couldn't shoot straight beyond 100m. The tanks like StuG with a bit more accuracy were the only ones who could conceivably land a shot at range. But WeeGee doesn't like concealment, so every map had to be changed into narrow pathways without bushes. Meanwhile, tanks that were meant for that niche are left by the wayside, and tanks designed for close quarters only get buffed.

Sometimes such games can be a refreshing take on the hectic brawls we see becoming ever more prevalent with the ever increasing speed meta.

It was one of my first premium tanks: together with T-127. I learned to play in this tank, in the old days when other TDs had also a good view range, and when tier 3 was fighting against tier 5 and had low HP of 200 or less. Now this tank is boring being so slow, and as you said - it is not ok to have so good view range.

[@ACandieCaneKilling]

I begin every single WoT session (to warm up) in my PAK 40 & once I win a game in it, I move on to play a selection of specific tanks until I am warmed up. I generally play till I win a game for the 2x bonus. (I play 2 tier III tanks, 4 tier IV & 8 from tier VI, before moving on to tier VIII meds & heavies & then on up to tier IX & X. I have nerve issues in my right hand which makes it hard to control fine movements until my hand is really warmed up so a minimum of 8 to 10 games in lower tiers usually does it for me. HOWEVER, I NEVER sit & FARM damage in my PAK 40 cause its too easy. INSTEAD, I go hunting & am very aggressive in it. I follow you around, force you out of hiding, support other players, I round corners, use my ARMOUR to bounce shells, YES U Can actually bounce SOMETIMES. About 75% of the time, I am LEADING the charge in my PAK 40 just to make the game move along. I make things happen, I NEVER just sit and farm, NEVER. BORING! That's what make my PAK so much fun, PUSHING it to its limits & shocking players who don't realize what I CAN do with such a super slug of a tank. Yes its killer slow to respond as well as travel, but equipped correctly, I made it function well enough to have FUN in it every time I play it. Otherwise, it'd be the most boring tank in the game. Here is my PAK 40 Set Up & why: Turbo & Grousers: I make my PAK able to SPIN on a dime so no one can OUTFLANK me, which is what everyone assumes they will do when they get close enough however, BIG MISTAKE when its MY PAK 40 hehe. Before they realize it, I am out-traversing them to the point where I usually catch up and BOOM, GOT YOU. I can traverse my PAK 40 as fast as just about any tank in the game. 50.47 Deg per sec traverse in fact. That's FAST for such a SLUG of a tank. 32 AP /18 Prem / 10 HE shells: For there are some tanks you cannot pen unless you can get behind/beside them so I do carry a few prem shells, but as you can see, NOT many. View Range: Only 421m cause what is the challenge if I can SEE everyone but they can't see me? NO FUN being Overpowered. I WANT them to see me coming, as they quake in their boots hehe. Traverse: 50.47: I out-traverse nearly everyone & they are always shocked at how well I can do that. Aim Time: 1.41 Dispersion: 0.35 I NEVER sit there & just farm & here are my playing stats for my PAK 40 tank to prove it. (also, see my stats) # of Battles: 1,381 (8 years of playing WoT / I got my PAK at the very beginning & have had it a LONG time) Victories: 60% Ave EXP: 598: To get Exp like this u have 2 DRIVE IT around & MAKE things happen, force out the enemy & make them engage you. Everyone is always following the Crazy CHICK in the PAK. lol Max Exp: 2,517: I wouldn't have Exp like this sitting around snipping. To get Exp like that u have 2 GO hunting & work for it. I NEVER sit there and just FARM. Being aggressive in my PAK is the FUN. Max Damage: 2,267 Yeah, if I just sat & farmed damage every time I played my PAK, I'd have WAYYY higher damage. Being OP is boring, I want my PLAYING to be what makes my tank good. Max Kills: 10 I LOVE playing my PAK, mostly cause the tank is OP if you just sit and farm, but I WON'T DO THAT cause its boring, so I make my tank work for me, by pushing it to its limits & hunting down enemies. I WANNA be the reason my PAK is awesome, not just cause I have one in my garage. I'm so often the last tank standing against any # of enemy tanks & do very well in my PAK cause of how it's set up & played so aggressively. Learning how to play NON Turreted tanks helps too. I LOVE playing my PAK 40 TD, NOT cause its so OP, NOT cause it can farm damage by just sitting & hiding, but cause I make my PAK kick bums & hunt so aggressively which makes it more like a sleeper hunter killer than an OP TD. I would rather have a tank "I MAKE SING" rather than an OP tank can sing for anyone just hiding. I make my PAK FUN to play, despite its sluggishness. It's nice to see others play as I DO too & not just sit & snipe the whole game in ONE SPOT farming. If that is all you're gonna do the whole game, you may as well have BOUGHT your kills. I'd rather work for them. Candie ^..^

[@innosoul7837]

I personally loved this playstyle in WoT. The hide and ambush style is what i'm good at. However for its tier this tank is impossible to engage if its secured a really good vantage point. The camo and view range is just too good.

That solves a lot of problems at tier x. But the "best" players will block this, and wargaming will only listen to the gold spamming community.

For every one of these there's dozens of TDs overly handicapped. So to be fair there's only so much tier 3 you can play before you're tired of it (the dedicated seal clubbers not withstanding as I believe those folks to be mentally ill). So is this tank unbalanced? Yes. Is it a big deal? No, not really. This is a tempest in a teacup.

Nothing is fair in this game

[@unutilisateurgoogle7328]

Hello QuickyBaby. Thanks for you videos, especially the ones about the effect of field mods on heavies, but for once, I won't agree with you. 1. The FCM 63 Pak 40 *used* to be very OP back in the day (between 2014 and maybe 2018). It remains somewhat OP in 2021 but not that much anymore. It gives appprox. +1.5 in WR today. It gave much more (+3) in 2016. 2. Why am I saying that ? Because : a. WG buffed some other similar tier tanks and issued OP tanks such as the MTLS-1G14 b. as WG's wiki says, "with a thinly armored, open-top superstructure and a weak engine, it has a hard time defending itself when caught in the open". Any scout will easily circle you to death. Any medium/heavy will peek-a-boom you (10 km/h backward ...) c. the FCM doesn't behave well on city maps. But it never sees Prokhorovka nor Campinovka d. gone are the tomatoes days. Today, more than 85% of the players at tier 3 are experienced to very experienced. That means those players know by heart the bushes and spots where to look for the FCM on any given map. And of course, those players take advantage of the map and never expose themselves to a TD line of sight, even from far away e. in Stredny's game, his enemies are for once mostly stupid : even though their allies get killed, they keep coming and what's more along the same path. But as said before, that's become very, very rare. Only *one* (the enemy FCM ...) tried the other path. In my own FCM 36 Pak 40, I personaly have *never* encountered so stupid an enemy team. Never. Period f. last but not least : if the FCM 63 Pak 40 remained today such a game changer, why did the enemy FCM only make 2 kills ? Parting shot : (as most elite players) you obviously hate snipers - and arty too. I don't.

[@sokolicc_]

Chief, EBRs (whole line), Skoda T56, Vz 55, 279e, to name the few tanks that should not be in the game.

[@sokolicc_]

@@gamerbrian1701 not really, as long as they are not OP like chief is. Why the fuck would anyone play CW if they can't use tanks always? It's just the matter of balance.

[@gamerbrian1701]

You play clan wars to prove who's the best, what does it prove when pro and good players use OP TANKS to role a stomp average or below average players? Nothing expect using it as a dick measuring contest, if wargaming truly cares for thier player base then pull the OP tanks and high skill players out of pubs and give them thier own game mode were they can compete with players of thier own skill level and give them a real challage, And leave regular pubs to the rest of us... But they wont bc top players stats will start to level out or drop and God forbid that. Instead they allow those high players to make the game bitter for the rest of us. I would spend more money if the game felt fun again but bc they wont do the thing average player want to see changed then and just listen to the elites who cares about the little guy. Hell they even admitted that the high skill players were seal clubbing at low tiers for stat padding they had to create a separation 500 or less MM for tiers 1-5 so that new players dont give up and leave the game. They know it's a problem and still dont do anything. Listen to the rest of us for once that's all we ask. Personal they fuck up the game when they changed HE round that no body asked for except a elite few top clans and CC and neither of those group spoke for the majority'

[@el_tio_Harry]

Thats why I play warthunder. No arbitrary view range mechanics. It’s simply:1. Turn your engine off, 2. Press your binoculars button, 3. Sit patiently until you see movement, 4. Voila target acquired. And that works for any tank no matter how big small or stupid. Because sometimes the more realistic you make the game the more problems are solved with the simplicity

[@NeSeeger]

Sounds like WOT needs a "premium" free mode.

[@dezterify]

I don't think it's the most disgusting tank. I can name 3 just like that who are way more toxic (cough, cough chieftain, cough). For me t8 bourrasqe and progetto premium tanks invoke much more toxicity in my blood stream than this little thing.

[@naclcube6558]

At least the bour can be demolished with HE shells even post nerf. :P

[@OnkelTomHDT]

May be the tank is broken in a very few games, but mostly you don't have fun games with it, because it is just too slow. And I think, the few times someone has a great game like this guy, I don't care, that a tank like this is broken on low tiers. It's much more funny to have meme tanks like this, than not having them. ;-) Nice video btw QB! :-)

[@speedphlux]

Yup ! Old school TD with 400 meters base view range, maintaining most of it's camo while firing, at such low tiers, is quite the toxic bundle ... But it's not a LeFefe, Covfefe ;)

[@robertflint4115]

EBR's do not belong...Unless they are fixed. Zigzag on ice, mud, sand all BS. Jumping off 20 foot cliffs rolling and landing upright and drive away with no damage. 279e is another ....the tank is UNREAL. In all tanks the engine and tranny sit down in the hull. Also the driver and inside turret. With those inner tracks, it's not possible.

[@carelhaasbroek1575]

Its tanks like this, with players like this that made me quit the game.

[@Rkglafjfs]

this tank is overrated, slowest tank in the game situational at best. it can be OP when platooned with a fast tank that can push u at position. view range is important but at that tier u will meet majority of the time mines, ensk and himmelsdorf where there's no practical use of it.

[@ElsinoreRacer]

My first 10-kill game was in the FCM. Mines. North cap. My team died early and the enemy came to the cap 1 at a time. Binocs (you could do that then) and camo net. What was funny was that on that map with 440+ spotting range, anything in line of sight was spotted. Which scared them and led to the "1-at-a-time" attack. Dirty, but fun.

[@stevenmontney5586]

I got an 8 kill game in my FCM36pak40

[@alexiorga969]

One good balance for this vehicle would be to buff the speed on soft terrain but lower the view range

[@kenmcintosh2079]

Noooooooo!!! I’ve been hoping for like 6 years now that you would post my 36 PAC 40 replay. I had 11 kills in exactly 1 minute. Even had Quickybaby in the title. Such a ridiculous tank!

[@shred3005]

It may have incredible view range and hits kind of hard and certainly this makes it OP but other dynamics (gun handling, speed, traverse) are terrible so it’s not a lot of fun to play and is only effective if the enemy stay at a distance and allow you to shoot them. And because it’s so slow that it cannot turn a game around against more dynamic enemy. Despite the boring limitations to the point I don’t bother playing it much, it’s enough that I’ve got high 60s% win rate

[@Th3R3taliator]

View range is incredibly op when what you're up against have less than 300m view range (not applicable to high tiers). "Stay at a distance" isn't even necessary when you outspot practically everything by 2x the distance. At tier 3-4 you won't get spotted until maybe like 200m or closer, while you'll spot enemies at 400+m. If you ban smaller maps you basically have free farm and high impact in 2/3 of the map pool available (esp since most t5 and under players are bots/new players/or clueless ones). Gun handling is actually good for being low tier, speed/traverse/armor downside is easily compensated for the fact that you can literally sit in open and spam shots without getting lit (making it hard to get blind fired on). It's a broken piece of shit that has no place in low tiers, since it'll only make new players quit (as if WoT isn't having a huge problem with getting new players already)

Also can use a 1400 dpm 76 MM gun lower pen but with 115 alpha and potent HE rounds. Best of all it goes 55 kph with light tank agility. Shoot and scoot. Very fun.

I have always felt like WoWs does detection right. Just give vehicles a detection distance and have bushes block or reduce it. Rather than having a weird dynamic of view range and camo, where you are never really sure if you'll get spotted because depending on enemy builds they could have poor view range or insanely high.

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

All of the tank destroyers used to have much longer view ranges than they have now. Just off the top of my head, I know that the T40 had 400m and the SU 85B had 390. Being a premium, the Pak 40 survived the nerf intact.
