TOP 3 Tier X Beginner Friendly Medium Tanks! | World of Tanks

8:05 This shot goes unnoticed in the video but it was another amazing one from Skill !

[@odinsclone3436]

I love it. Skill blindshooting ebr and smacking him on the move from a couple hundred meters away while telling you that it isnt a sniper is priceless .

[@zeroyuki92]

Actually the controversial opinion isn't even E-50M, it is 140. 140 is still pretty good (although I'd say the current meta is not that kind towards it), however to use 320 alpha in current WoT you need to play the perfect amount of aggression which is actually very hard. Otherwise you won't be able to utilize DPM unless you're lucky and met tourists. The problem is I have no idea what to replace it with, since autoloaders are out of question and 121B isn't a tech tree tank. I guess Patton, since it still has decent gun + alpha, gun depression, and some armor so it could become your starter hulldown medium tank before you get into STB or UDES

[@durachoks]

yeah, that tank is anything but beginner friendly, super hard to play low alpha, high dpm tanks for a beginner imo, lol it will be even hard for a good players in current meta

[@berrywarmer11]

For beginners, is it not true that most of the damage you're going to get is against tourists anyway? I noticed that many beginners tend to be tourists themselves! If you are running in the open field, is it not true that you will most likely get only shots off on other tourists before you get banged by TDs sniping from the "invisible bush" or from a hulldown veteran chieftan or super conquerors staring you in the face? On the other hand, I've also seen quite a few new players that learn the bush (TD redline sniping) and often sit in one spot. If you only do this, your main shot opportunities are still tourists, no?

[@matejgulvas]

100% agree ... beginner in wot will have FOR SURE better results in E50M thank in Obj-140

[@aureole420]

Started playing around Oct 2022 and my 1st line was the Patton Line. Tank is definitely usable but suffers hard in the current meta, don't know if I would recommend as a beginner tank either.

[@zeroyuki92]

@@aureole420 Yeah I know, that is why I struggled to think what I could consider as the beginner friendly medium tank. Patton has been buffed but it's true that with how fast and tough heavy tanks nowadays it's true that playing Patton is a challenge. I'd argue that it is still pretty easy to use, but it's just hard to be really competitive in it. I simply don't know what is the alternative. STB also has lower alpha and delicate siege mode platform which made it trickier to work while UDES has awkward rear turret. In the end if not Patton I guess 140 is still the only option left which is why I don't object to Skill's pick that much.

[@trapezium1998]

That 140 game was great, your kill on ferrari was so good!

[@Skerrry]

Just so everyone knows, the Improved Aiming Unit provides a reduction to dispersion at all times, not only when fully aiming.

[@MercutioUK2006]

That shot on the EBR tho o.0

[@Tommievulto]

I dont think any Mediums are beginner friendly to be honest. With perhaps the exception of 430u

And he did not even raise an eyebrow 🤣

[@ThatAnnoyingGuyOnTheInternet]

I will guess: Obj. 430U, E 50 M and M48 (maybe this will be my lucky guess).

[@snoopstp4189]

I do play the progetto a lot because I like it, but 100% agree with your assessment, those 3 are the most forgiving of the group.

[@dutchstylz5531]

i personally dont agree with the 140 for newplayers, probaly something easier to use like the udes would be better, just peek ridge and farm yk

[@dutchstylz5531]

or stb 1 for that matter

[@berrywarmer11]

Compared to all of that, the O140 is just a normal mobile medium tank with some armor on the upper plate and turret and on the move dispersion that is so good that you barely have to stop and aim - and when you miss with O140 you have such a fast reload that you're gonna get another shot off!

[@kosztypatrik7028]

[@Taooflu]

Oddly enough I’ve never played the e50m. Seeing it in play, why would one pick the Leopard 1? Gun seems to be just as good and you have good speed, and at least some “armor”. I love the Leo 1 and maybe camo is better?

[@inversecow]

So happy to see my first love / tier 10 (E-50M) on the list! I concur with the analysis / selections. I have a Leo 1, love it, but you are quite literally "rocking across the field with your balls in your hand", albeit with a _LASER CANNON_. E-50M has the laser cannon also, but is a little more chunky and endurance. Was glad to see the 140 play style, as that's one line I am slowly working on next. Thanks for your video, and humility in presenting all this!

[@ahmetzyc]

I would say grinding 140 is useless when you can just buy t62a which is almost the same tank but better except having 2 Degrees less gun deppression. Which is also okay since 140 gun deppression is already sh.t anyways.

[@ChordRunner]

What I expect are: 430U, Udes and E50M. But, if you say some people may have objections, I think you will NOT choose 430U and take Progetto or TVP instead... EDIT, oh, I wasn't right

[@goodguyjack]

Progetto or TVP? My brother in christ those two mediums are one of the hardest ones in the game.

[@jordanandin7084]

@@goodguyjack why?

[@naiki_eu]

@@jordanandin7084 they are either autoreloaders or autoloaders. Whilst they can work, it's only consistent in skilled hands. Also, hp pool on the battlefield is increasing slowly so tanks with magazines are less effective imo

[@naiki_eu]

I think it also goes for Bt-25t

[@sir_vikingbeard5842]

For me prog is worst T10 med

[@SeriousPoo]

Good tech tree list, IMHO. I might add the 121B although it’s a bond tank.

[@rudiperez5315]

Love 121b

[@nomenestomen3452]

Agree, 121B should be also in the list. Love this tank, a better version of the 430U imo.

[@Ima9ineBreak3r]

E50m, 430u and... Patton, perhaps? Maybe Leo? edit: Hm... I'm a little surprised to see the 140 on there. I feel like it requires more game knowledge and finesse than the Patton or Leo would...

[@fireshorts5789]

430U was the 2nd tier X I bought and I honestly can't stand it. It seems like I'm constantly not able to decide whether I want to play it as a medium or a heavy but no matter which one I choose, it does it badly. Too slow to be an effective medium and not enough armor to be a heavy. The gun is also wildly inaccurate, feels like its actually worse than the one on the 430 was (which I also did way better in for some reason). I'm not even sure why I haven't ragesold it yet.

[@jonas8075]

I would take the patton before E50 all days but overall you are correct ;-)

[@Trouba315]

My guess was obj.140 and 430U but E-50M is surprise. Overall it gives all sense.

[@Kingalpha97]

I agree E50M is better than Patton and Leo for beginners but I think Patton is easier to play than 140, it is very close though so I think this is a good list.

[@petarradelic4869]

E50 is easier to play by a lot, since leo 1 requires you to have understanding of the game and knowledge of the maps, which is not that important if you pick E50 since you have actually gr8 armor and good HP pool. cheers

[@leoantoniartleo3687]

love your videos, its all about player, for me is STB1, UDES, and Obj 140

[@gitfoad8032]

After 4yrs of WoT, I've just started playing meds. Comet's better than T-20. 8:10 's a cracking shot.

[@krzychugora]

My predictions would be E50 M, 430U and Udes

[@MadnessJoe]

That 140 sniping was epic!

[@gyurip.2907]

if you have 10k games and only than start playing tier 10, arent you beginner at that tier?

[@octoslut]

depends what is beginners, are you a wallet warrior monkey who skipping lines with free exp gold to get to tier 10 asap?? you're gonna have a hard time. you'll be a e100 or something camping at red line lmao

[@falcon985]

Surprised UDES15/16 not on the list. I feel it's super easy to play comparatively to either of the USSR tanks.

[@TheJagdPanzerE100]

I may dare to say Obj 430U maybe the Obj 140 and the E50 tank series, could the vz55 count as one as well? It's a heavium xd

[@rodrigoyanez1100]

Pretty much all th Soviet tanks are noob friendly tanks, the insanely troll armor and big guns makes it easier for most new and any other player

[@lmCIoudz]

Keep up the amazing work. Love from the USA.

[@mosconisadepto6172]

E50M: tall, weak turret, still catches fire from the front? Obj140: 320 alpha (good trades for us) maybe long exposure time, definitely catches fire from the front. BEGINNERS who wants to play in tier 10, feels like you pulled a QB one. I approve!

[@ivoryfoxmusic]

i

[@ashuragaming1981]

Lep definitly harder. Due there is no armor, a small mistake always cost some HP while in E50M you have chance to bounce if you can angle it correctly. Leo better in longer range and more mobile. I like both of them but E50 is a good tank for ramming😀

[@xclonecommander]

140, 430u, M48 because it just snapshots, has good dpm, Troll armor, and it's just comfy

[@wotdragonracer5624]

the t62a is a better alternative to the obj 140 honestly t62a has better dpm using same equipment also slightly better mobility armour is slightly worse but only by about 5-10 mms in certain spots cupola is near impossible to pen unlike the obj140 and as long as you get any soviet tier 10 tank, you instantly get access to t62a without having to spend exp

[@stormer9763]

140 definitely not a beginner friendly tank

[@gutthroom]

Hi Skill, In the Index can you put in the Standard pen and gold pen of the tanks, Plz, :)

[@thenozar7603]

Surely 430U/121, E50M & Patty

[@lordz00]

Skill, can you make beginner friendly vehicle series for Onslaught?

[@elviszhang412]

430u definitely is the champion. e50m is my favorite, I will say it's easy to play with. Last one my be i will give to Leo, since even u only konw how to snip from the back, u will enjoy yourself XD

[@jds3535b]

i think 140 is bit hard for a beginner , 50m and 430u is correct , especially 430u its just strait forward .

[@TheKneipenhocker1337]

[@PenguinPotato97]

Hi @skill4ltu I'm grinding my first medium line, and following your advice I decided to take the Russian tanks. I'm at tier 8 and Obj 140 is top of the tree. Should I go for it or take the 430U instead?

[@jannekoskinen2050]

E-50M isn't controversial, 140 is. It is not beginner friendly tank. Low alpha damage and no armor in 2023 make it _extremely_ hard tank to play with. UDES has actually a good and reliable turret armor and it has 440 alpha damage so you can actually trade with it.

[@UVF79]

Amazing how skill is the man with the plan 🤩 Absolutely fantastic gaming 😃✌️

[@MickeFloo]

how casually you blindshoted the light thank with the obj 140

[@Pittsburgh-412]

For beginners, the E 50 M is of course better, I prefer the Leopard. It seems to me that 121 can also be suitable for beginners.

[@rebellionofindia43]

I think this should be called easiest lane for beginners to tier 10 tanks Totally agree with tanks

[@Anonymous..VQ3.5Lg35]

Stb 1? Or 121? Obj 430u, e50, udes are my thoughts

[@jareth123]

My guesses are 430U, E50M. Third one is tough but I’ll go with Leo 1, although I don’t think it’s correct due to lack of armour, but noobs can redline with it at least.

[@roberthara1603]

I think that the usual beginner mistake are aggressively oriented like, over peaking, over pushing, lack of bush knowledge, lack of spotting mechanics knowledge like what tanks will spot you in what position. Armor might enable a beginner to get away with these mistakes.

[@solyomandras]

Thanks for the vid Skill. 430U never really worked for me. Derpy gun, bad gun depression, and meh mobility. In the T10 gold spamming meta everybody will pen you. I have much much better avg dmg with Leo 1.

[@juanzulu1318]

430u has tough armour. Gold ammo doesnt pen easily

[@mickeydoc4521]

Leopard 1 is only really outstanding if you know the game and play it very well in general 🙂 btw really strong gameplay with the obj 140!!

[@devonholan8485]

"If you know the game" thats the thing this video is for begginers

[@casuscnactus4864]

E50 M is clearly better for beginners, but the real question is not E50 M or Leo, but 140 or rather 121. 121 has better armor now and big alpha is usually better for beginners.

[@azizella2778]

I wouldn't say the centurion is THAT outdated. I think it comes closest to being beginner friendly along with the udes

[@atlashugged2591]

Got the first two right, but not the lat one. I said M48 Patton instead

Guesses in! K 91, B-C 25t, AMX 30 B.

[@Nero0107]

stb-1, udes, 430u? Post video edit: I almost put e50 M instead of udes but i can see your points that armor and gun are easier to work. I'm more surprised about obj 140 instead of stb-1, but I guess obj140 armor is way better on the sides. A bit sad i did not guess mediums which are my favourite class but at least got 3/3 in tank destroyers

[@Eshelion]

Skill, you got this thing wrong. :P Beginner friendly tank would be for example Leopard 1 - beginner would make some mistake and return to garage pretty fast. And if he is a beginner, not an idiot, he would quickly realize he should still play on lower tiers for little longer, cause he's still lacking some knowledge. How is that friendly, one may ask - well, only people friendly to you will show you your mistakes enabling you to correct them and better yourself. Tanks presented here are just "forgiving" or "idiotproof" (ofc not 100% and E50M not so much). ;) That aside, great video, especially "not sniper" 140. :D

[@ruralracer99]

Papa skillll, I'll have to try and catch another stream sometime lol, love the ballads playlist for background music🤘🤙

[@garyhardison9265]

IMO the OBJ 140 has the perfect balance of armor, gun handling, and mobility. Like a ballerina with a good right hook and a steel jaw. If it had 8degrees of gun depression it’s be OP IMO. ODB 430U Gun handling is terrible IMO and E50M turret is meh as well as camo

[@durachoks]

it would still be balanced with low alpha

[@dinismantas7265]

I thought it would be: Object 430U, E50M, and...UDES 15/16.

[@milos-7712]

Was this before the Cent. AX buff? CAX is just plain better than 140+ double the gun depression. Finding angles is so much easier with 10 degrees. Come to think of it, weather you're seasoned or new, I can't see a reason to play any of these 3 over the CAX 🤷‍♂️

[@regality78]

Great advice as usual. Skill question for you regarding your purple outline of enemies. Silhouette is half filled with hill or rock shapes hiding the tank hull or front. Is this a setting option or mod? My silhouette is a hollow outline of the enemy. I end up hitting the rocks if they are not visible.

Leopard is actually really good if you just hang back and snipe. My first and only tier X and I do better in it than when in lower tiers. So I think it should be considered beginner friendly.
