Type 71 Tank Review in World of Tanks

[@QuickyBabyTV]

I'm like to add a note that I significantly underestimated how much of a detriment this things hull armour would be. The result is it's actually one of the worst T10 heavies and I woudn't buy it until it's reworked.

[@Helkett]

The reason theres 5 less ammo on the conqueror is because of their onboard tea machine

[@oliverreedslovechild]

Ah yes, the famous British ' boiling vessel '! Never go into battle without one.

[@warkus123]

It's basically an STB-1 that sacrifices mobility for even better turret armor and a 120mm instead of 105mm. They even look very similar.

[@Paciat]

Yes a heavy tank is like a medium tank but slower and more armored. And both are Japanese.

[@warkus123]

@@Paciat I meant more than that, same hull shape, same turret shape, both have hydropneumatic suspension, both have terrible hull armor but are good hull down.

[@lukeleo3448]

The tank was supposed to be a more heavily armored version with a bigger gun. It says in the description anyway.

[@EraOfJack]

What's nice is that if you have down time between combat or you're driving into position at the start of the game, your first round will have the better accuracy saved up so you can hopefully land that first shot and start applying pressure on the enemy.

[@RavenShugo]

This tank will be fun to play. I think at the start of battle it will be more of supporting/sniping role unless you can get in some powerful position to hide totally. And at the second part of battle it's mobility will help it to push/finish the job.

[@AdinYusuf]

nice it has a deppresion, it can use the STB/UDES mechanic and it has the new gun mechanic, but at the same time its armor is quite weak. I like it, i dont think it will be broken

[@blaz3s675]

My experience with the Type 71 in Blitz is very different since it's a different tank to here but from what can be seen from what you show us, it really is one of those tanks that once you got in a favorable matchup you definitely roll but any map that you can't hulldown or hide the hull, then you are fighting an uphill battle. I do like how novelty the new mechanic makes the tank. That ridgeline engagement does show the poor DPM when you resort to using the cooling mechanic to assure the shots. Overall, I do feel like it will be decent in close-quarter (assume you hide the hull) and excellent sniper but can't do both as efficiently as say, S. Conq

[@wor575]

that maybe true now but back when it was first released with the frontal armor and the mobility equip you don't even need to hulldown. you just wiggle the same way you would a T-22 and get even more bounces

[@chase8326]

The nice thing about the cooldown is that it is easy to understand and use. It makes it much more fun.

[@jimhudson4744]

looking forward to it as the STB-1 looks to be very similiar

[@Marco-cg7fb]

It looks pretty damn decent. Amazing dpm, good ammo selection, amazing on sniping maps and the standoff range is amazing too. Better turret armor than the super conq too Slam a bond/bounty turbo on it, and play it like a hulldown king medium tank.

[@stolfygaming]

Honestly the Sconq has a better turret unless they are shooting you from the side. That and the sconq is just more versatile as a general purpose tank, especially when you consider the hull on the T71

[@elsamu9458]

I feel happy for you QB seeing you once again excited for a new tank. This might be a good balanced tank?

The only thing it didn't have is dpm.

[@Kayrol1990]

i want to see quackbabs play the tier 8 tank

[@RedXlV]

I still wish Wargaming would fix hydropneumatic suspension so that it can also tilt the tank's hull side to side as well as front to back, so they can get that extra depression over the sides as well as the front and back. Because as you can find in videos of the real-life Type 74 (the mass production version of the STB-1), that's very much ow hydropneumatic suspension works.

[@commander5379]

as far as i can remember (from at least when it first came out) on blitz the type 71 had a very strong upper plate

[@epicfiend1999]

Buff the upper plate armor, and side armor. The tank has weak spots already, the entire upper plate does not need to be one.

[@epicfiend1999]

And nerf lower plate so it's not auto ricochet. Also, orzanel had a good point, that the hit to your dpm in exchange for accuracy should probably be mitigated by give the tank higher alpha and higher reload time, match or slightly lower current dpm but allow you to make use of accuracy at less cost.

[@zerrierslizer1]

this thing seems like more of an Oppertunist Brawler to me, with capability to snipe in a hulldown position when possible and/or when needed. amazing rate of fire, GREAT pen and more than good enough gun handling when close to other opponents, this thing could be a Peek-A-Boo monster like none other, taking oppertunities to shoot when enemies get cocky or when focus is on other teammates as well as when they have fired, and then retreat to a position where it can utilize the double accuracy mechanic to it's fullest, i think that is the way to play this thing most effectively.

[@friendlyreaper9012]

Mights just get it because of its look tbh. Also love heavies with balanced alpha damage and actual weakspots when hull down. Not everything needs to do 500-700dmg at tier 10.

[@jagosevatarion4528]

Dpm goes down waiting to cool down and the gun depression is hydro so in order to be at its best you have to wait for an extra 4 seconds

[@baohungle5410]

This thing will be the best tier 10 techtree HT yes and no. If you get in Malinovka, Prokhorovka, El Halluf, maps where you can stay hulldown or you need to snipe, it is the best. If you get in Ruinberg, Highway, maps where you need to sidescrape, it sucks. Consider the current map rotation and how the meta is working, this tank is surely not the new meta tank, but it can work, just not as often as the S.Conq or even the E5. The Type 68 at tier 9 is actually a very good tank and it's better tier-to-tier compared to its bigger brother.

I was hoping for the Type-74 to join the ranks of the Japanese Tanks, Its a Heavy tank with a 105mm and hydropneumatic suspension...I was embedded with the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force back in 2014 and they can put these tanks to their limits for sure

[@iddra1868]

STB 1 was a prototype of the Type 74 so the tanks would've been even more similar.

[@Depth867]

If you want to use the strong Type 71 tanks, play the lesta Ver of WoT. Because the lesta Ver of the Type 71 is close to the Blitz version, and is armored enough to at least fight on a flat surface. And you will be reminded how much the WGs running EU/NA/ASIA are reluctant to balance the game and how much lack of coordination is evident.

[@lazuardialghifari8689]

That hull armor is tragic af, the mechanic is good, like 3 years ago I think of this kinda mechanic on the game, and wg now have it, good job for wg to make some creative tank playstyle, still, that tragic hull make the game very rigid on gameplay, well at least as a heavy.

[@pepega7312]

I’ve got the type 63 and honestly, it became my favorite tank in a blink of an eye. The weird playstyle that differs from every other heavy tank just hits the spot for me. If you have the opportunity, you can sit hulldown in front of the enemies, shoot your 290 HEAT ammunition and slowly dismantle the enemy tanks. Out of HEAT? no problem, just wait for the mechanic to kick in and hit EVERY SINGLE CUPOLA and weakspot that enemy tank has with 95% accuracy. Battle going arye? no problem, fall back behind a bush or take a cover behind a rock and SNIPE with accuracy comparable to Strv…. Ofcourse, situations where enemies just push through and kill you in seconds because of no hull armor happen from time to time, but I am doing well at avoiding those as much as I can. All of this combined with it’s mobility makes it one of the most versatile tanks in the game currently. Even tho the new tier X has a cupola and not so great premium ammo, I think I’m going to like it a lot. PS: I’ve just realised that I made a short tank review on Type 63 under the wrong video but it’s whatever.

[@crunchboxdan]

It’s a Daddy STB1. I like it

[@norbertangler6335]

Think it is very strong in comparision with the other heavies at t10. Mayby a bit to strong. But otherwise is the gun trash, is you use the full dpm. So the tanks gun is mayby in the most situations worse than the gun of the S. Conq. But I think that should be a better advice that the gun is fully accurat. For example a sound or another visual effect. It would be also interesting to know, if the gun has only the accurate and the unacurate „mode“ or there is enything between it. If you do not shoot instant after the reload but do not wait for the full cooldown (wait for example 10 secounds between the shots).

[@miyuki4715]

If the blitz type 71 was inserted here it'll be broken that thing was a juggernaut in tier 10 of wot blitz

Dont get me wrong here because I dont like Wargaming ruining the game with tanks that get special features even tough I dont think wargaming is ruining the game with that at all.

We have the swedish tanks with siege mode, the italian tanks with a different autoloading system and now japanese tanks with a dispersion feature. I think its cool and makes every nation something special
