TOP 3 Tier IX Beginner Friendly Heavy Tanks! | World of Tanks

[@kresimirdz97]

Nothing better to see than Skill dropping videos to the left and to the right ! Keep up the good work Baboon King!

[@przemeklewandowski7476]

I agree with top picks, but as for honorable mentions I would include obj. 257 (magic armour, russian rng, apcr standard ammo), is3-II (double gun, decent armour, russian rng), amx m4 51 (they will nerf big gun, but smaller one is fine) and 50tp (very well rounded, great alpha)

[@xrayban2]

The t-10 is a good tank too, seems totally forgotten today.

[@przemeklewandowski7476]

@@xrayban2 i agree, it's a great machine but you have to know what you're doing, so it's not the best tank for new players

[@atlasdgen]

​@@xrayban2hull is penetrable even by tier 7s, you can only play the tank after you get the gun which is honestly a horrible grind.

[@TheRealPulverize]

The ST-I game was saved by the OBJ704 and Leo1, if they didn't go to the heavy line the 279e and such would have killed you.

[@rhystillo]

100%. I'll spot all day for TD like that 704 player.

[@benbrannon2889]

the maus also was insane that game considering the tanks they were up against

[@LilGamingYes]

It's a reward/premium tank but the AE Phase I is my favorite Tier 9 HT. The turret is great, the hull is decent, the gun is good, mobility is good... There's not much to dislike about it. Side-scrapping works but it seems to be a bit weak, maybe I just can't angle right which is also very possible.

[@RobboMcjobbo]

The 705 is one of my favourite tanks, and as much as there's already 50 T8 Russian premium HTs, I wish there was a T8 (or T9) premium version to farm credits.

[@MastaCrosser]

There is IS-3a

[@psnmadracer27]

​@@MastaCrosser that tank is nothing like the 705

[@JEkglw]

K-2 kinda is the t8 version

[@jariheimoluoto4959]

When ever i have a bad session i fondly remember the time i played for 2500 dpg with m3y and lost 47 games in a row. One after the mf another 47 times. To put it another way i lost every game over 4h period. I have experienced the other end of the spectrum too, when it feels like you cant loose a single game. I dont usualy care too much about stats but i just noticed the loosing streak because of the 3 wins daily mission that i had.

[@M0torsagmannen]

my guess before watching was E75, ST-I and AMX M4-51. but your reasoning for dropping the M4 makes sense.

[@Mayed9990]

30:10 I wish that I can keep my self calm and cool like you did.

[@mikepette4422]

Yes that 279e was just bad news but, in that ST-I game your Arta and Tank Destroyers were the stars of that match. They annihilated that 279 e and those 2 TDs that snuck in behind you.

[@kizzzit5724]

Hey SKILL you said in second game it would be much worse if you were in a tier 8 and had to face the 279e... So if that was was the case which tier 8 tank would you wish you had IF you had to face the 279e in battle ?? or which tier 8 tank would stand best odds against a 279e ?? Thanks keep up the good work :)

[@mickymaus2969]

Probably none lol. Depends on the Situation. Out of the Distance you would wish for something with a lot of Heatpenetration like Obj 416. It you can flank, its pretty much easy peasy. If you have to stand it off frontally, maybe a Tank that combines good Armor and Premiumpenetration (Iron Arnie has 300 on the HEAT right?). But all in all, you do not stand a chance

[@ChadKenova]

E75 was my first favorite tank in the game and still holds up today but before gold spam days it was so much better. Wish premium rounds would go back to gold only.

[@curtislaketek2952]

So when ppl call it gold rounds I get confused. I look for the gold rounds lol. I've been playing since June 2011. So remember the horrible grinds 😅

[@thorinoakenshield217]

Hell no! I did'nt played at the time but if you want that, then its realy PAY TO WIN! Maybe you would see less Gold-Spam, but its not fair at all! Yes todays meta is not great but everybody is given the option to use Premium Ammo for free🤷‍♂️

[@batsvet5608]

There are battles where you just can't win, no matter what. Thats why I always quit the game after the 3th defeat in row. Or if I'm lucky and I am winning I try to play as much as possible. Yesterday - 13 battles played 10 wins 3 defeats. Today - 5 battles played 1 win and 4 defeats (defeat, win, 3 defeats in row -> quit). But yes, E-75 is always a good choice. I'm grinding now M103 and the czech tier 9 heavy. And it is a hard grind.

[@XEvo4Fun]

Skill casually 100% his ST-1 on video 😂

[@Swampmonster-uk]

loving the in game chat LOL but totally agree with the E75 🙂

[@wotaddictglobal]

Yeah I noticed that too!

[@sunykamey4542]

I like coming here to see a good player like skill having good games and fun because it doesn't happen to me anymore in this game. This game is simply done, the only players left are either sweating so hard or are downright in need of care - there is no in-between (IMO). Great if you enjoy it :)

[@stalehelvik6316]

How about do a follow up on your video about game rigging? Did you see Claus lastet videoen about it skill?

[@benbrannon2889]

the IS3-ii was such a good tier 9 heavy when i played it, I was expecting it to be on here ngl

[@MrRockdabells]

That 704 was punishing enemy team in that second game! :O

[@Obj140]

Is-3-2 is really amazing. Speed, armor, gun handling, and DOUBLE PENETRATION

[@Bynk333]

and nice spoter as well! :-)

[@Eshelion]

But not for beginners really. Speed will make them go in front of other heavies with not-as-great-armor (it's still good, but not that great, especially if you're not used to all the tricks), double penetration possibility may make them overdo this and die stupidly when trying in wrong moment.

[@Duran762]

@@Eshelion Yes but its still russian tank so beginners are fine

[@mattinghamdavi2595]

Always informative and nice to see e75 my first tier 9

[@inlovewithgoats1092]

The Maus in the second game played so well :O

[@garyhardison9265]

Some surprise tanks.. i guessed E75, T10, and Conquer. Maybe time to grind some new lines. Index page is a peach

[@przemeklewandowski7476]

I wouldn't call t10 and conq beginner friendly tanks - they are very good in skilled hands but both have no hull armour and you have to know places on maps where you can go hulldown

[@playingwotnl]

I thought you had all the tanks in the garage but when you showed your tech three I was wrong!

[@wotaddictglobal]

I totally agree with this selection! Thanks Skill4ltu, you are the man! 😊

[@jdm_jd6850]

Ey skill, I usually have some difficulties grinding a tier X tank and never got able to grind to any tier IX or X I wonder, with line its good for grinding (more cheaper and easier to research or something)?^ Basically a line that is beginner friendly... I tried VZ55 line, started loosing a lot of credits and I can't play well on that (Im kinda bad Ik), then tried the T30 line, but T28 prot kinda sucks (for me at least)

[@dan_gb4496]

Think I would have picked E75 same as you but then Object257 instead of ST-1 and probably the 50TP over the Object705...side scraping isn't beginner friendly imo.

[@gle6560]

love this video typ hope you will continue up to tier 8

[@tommygunthelastroadrunner9323]

Saludos Skill y a toda la comunidad de fans, una pregunta, importante creo yo. Hay alguna forma en el juego de ver el precio de los proyectiles antes de comprar el tanque? Creo que antes sí, pero estos "listos" de WW creo que lo han quitado, al menos yo no lo encuentro ya. Gracias

[@SpotDeezNutz]

Eso no importa. Si tomas decisiones basado en esas tonterias, significa que debes aprender a jugar mejor para que el costo de la municion nunca sea un factor.

[@tommygunthelastroadrunner9323]

@@SpotDeezNutz No es que sea vinculante, pero según estan poniendo el juego y la economia del mismo, creo que es un factor a tener en cuenta, entre otros, por supuesto.

[@edelmann4388]

I can't agree or disagree with you MrSkill as i only know the tanks as opponents now. But talking on all this sidescrap tanks i wonder you didn't even mention the VK45.02B (on way to PzKpfwVII) too. Some other CC say "use VK for bouncing mission".

[@Phatzo1000]

The BC 155 you shot had his PeePee raised.

[@davidballantyne4492]

I dunno if they ever changed it, but I recall that if the ST-1 is the first soviet heavy line you climb then you'll have one of the worst stock grinds because the first gun is shitawful.

[@lostinfens]

Bad days are coming thick & fast recently. I started with 10 losses on the bounce the other night despite scoring well & couldn't get better than 30% on the night. When that happens I turn to the bottle & Netflix.

[@savamomirovic4439]

I think IS-4 can go also,just show your side armour and let him do the work.

[@wotaddictglobal]

I can't wait to get the IS-4 myself!

[@erorpro]

If they don't do anything to premium amo in a game that should be balanced around armor, then this game is ' no bueno'.

[@shark_de_mique]

my guess, obj 705, 50tp or st-1, e-75

[@josephlilley9249]

I think there's a lot of tanks at all tiers that beginners can do well in and that's the great thing about KZbin so they can see what they are getting into lol. If you are a beginner though, you should definitely stay away from specialized tanks that need to be played in a specific type of way. Stick to tanks are are very flexible and can do everything decently.

[@MrRez808]

I think the Tiger 1, Tiger 2, E75 and E100 are lovely tanks for a beginner heavy line.

Tiger 1 is anything but beginner friendly, because it's everything but a heavy

[@adione6269]

@@italiancountryball865 It has many hitpoints

[@lucidnonsense942]

Unless you're a crackhead wehraboo, that's a terrible line to grind for a new player... E75 is the only one that's vaguely decent and easy to play, but getting to it will be a nightmare if you're starting out.

[@cerberusrex5275]

Tiger I can be a freaking monster but you need to invest a ton into crew skills, equipment and consumables to pump up the DPM and then learn how to manage HP trading, because the armor is cheese. It's much easier to just stay hull-down in a T29 or blast people for 1/3 of their HP in an IS.

[@pirig-gal]

@@cerberusrex5275 I loved the IS, such a fun tank. IS-3, on the other hand, doesn't really click with me. The gun just doesn't hit where I need it to.

[@oscarovegren]

@@RobboMcjobbo turret dispersion is lower on E5 but hull dispersion, final accuracy and gun depression are all better on conq/s.conq (why I believe it's a better gun overall)

[@RobboMcjobbo]

@@oscarovegren I do agree that the SConq gun is more 'manageable', but the 340 HEAT gives such an incredible edge when gold rounds are needed, at least that's how I see it.

[@faultline3936]

That ST-I battle tho. MM being an ass, giving enemy both 279e and Chief. A lot of people would've given up, but I guess those 2 players got over confident. Regardless, that kind of MM is very tilting. MM still sucks to this day, those tanks shouldn't be able to play without their counterparts on the enemy team. If there's only one of those queueing up, then sure, fine, put it in there. But if there's more than two, then make sure each of the team have them.

[@afar8483]

I dont agree with E75 and ST1 for me they are horrible but IS4 is amazing with his reload, speed and armor. If someone search for premium heavy money maker tank i propose obj 703 II

[@nephalos666]

I wouldnt call the E75 anywhere near beginner friendly. If you dont know how ti side scrape, hide your cupola, and properly trade shots AND angle your armor, being in an E75 is just asking to quit the game in rage. Obj 705 is good for beginners.

[@przemeklewandowski7476]

E75 IS beginner friendly - lot of armor (at least vs regular ammo), great alpha, nice pen, decent mobility. Very complete package. And 705 is a good tank but it's a one trick pony with bad gun.

[@nephalos666]

@Przemek Lewandowski the stock 122 is NOT a bad gun. The upgraded gun on it is bad, yes. But if I had to choose between the E75 or the Obj 705 as a beginner, I would be an utter fool to pick the E75. At least the 705 has armor that can work against gold. The E75 does not. It is a relic of a bygone era of the game and it is NOT beginner friendly. Period.

[@przemeklewandowski7476]

I believe there are scenarios where 705 can shine. But e75 is a lot more versatile: you can push, you can snipe (sort of) from the back, you can sidescrape, you can play hulldown. In 705 all you can do is find an obstacle, hide behind it and pray to rngeesus so you can hit something. Great gaming experience:) All this tank has is great turret and side armor. With both players being the same level e75 will win easily. But if you prefer 705 i'm fine with it

[@Guamurphy1952]

ggs, thnx

[@Duran762]

I dont believe in beginner friendly tanks. If a new person likes a tank for how it looks and plays then they should get the tank even if its hard to play. Then they will learn how to play with THAT tank over time. Yes people will cry about having them as teammates but this is how it is.

If you beeline a single tech path, you can get to t9 while still having only a thousand games or less under your belt, without premium (like I did). That's still pretty noob.

[@brandonhindmarsh4353]

I'm at tier 8 after ~650 games. Caernarvon. Clan and recruiter/trainee boosters. Agree that my skill lags behind tier of tank. But playing 8s and a line of tanks with no hull armor is paying off. I went back to tier iv Matilda last night to grab a quick guaranteed win for a mission before shutting down and slaughtered everyone just playing hull down and not peeking too much over crest of ridge on mines. Granted Matilda is op.

[@Wojtekpl2]

[@MilanDrazic]

the only problem is that you are not playing as a beginner the beginners play with the heavies frontally where the heavies go. don't sneak, a beginner doesn't know how to use a map and the advantage of that map as you showed, places on the map where it's better to cover important lines if you understand me what I wanted to say
