Honestly, out of all the current YT content creators for Blitz, you are by far my favourite. I enjoyed seeing you on the birthday stream!

[@Sk8xtrm]

Thanks mate :)

[@Eric-Wall]

Its all his voice😁

[@seanyoung1793]

To be honest to me its the indept info content and the honesty to boot lol great vids cheers man

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

Seconded. Sk8, you should get a job in the spoken media (radio or tv). You’re a natural.

[@srww1977]

Ohhh my. There must be some MONSTER battles out there. Wow.

[@archieprentice918]

Did anybody else notice that Bushka was missing from the "Happy Birthday Blitz" video from WG?

[@filthymcnasty9818]

Archie Prentice He doesn’t really play a lot anymore

[@operationlmp1601]

It sucks that anggael wasn’t in it either

[@zkgg6163]

Honestly sk8 and MeMastergamer are far by the best content creators on wotb Keep up the good work!

[@ironbullet9956]

I love how Alexandera tried to flirt with and yet failed all of her attemps while Ribble was jealous :) Glad to see you again best Blitz youtuber ever

[@ScienceFan1859]

The fact is a class 2 with 5.7k damage & 1.6k xp is a “1” shows how high the bar is for a light....good vids....so glad you’re back, sk8! Cheers!

[@jonf.i-k729]

Yeah, agreed. The thing is absolutely broke. HESH, Camo, Speed, and great Alpha and DPM and combined with the gun depression and British accuracy?!? My goodness, this thing is going to terrify everyone when everyone gets their hands on it, but hopefully it won’t be as broken as it is right now. Anyway, Keep up the useful info, reviews, and overall great content!!!

[@raistlyn117_8]

ItDaReaps141 Gaming I think if they were to nerf it they should change it from a light to a medium and make a few other minor adjustments to either it’s gun or it’s maneuverability. I have a feeling that it would be pretty balanced afterwards.

[@p36c10]

The Leopard PTA is crying right now ;(

[@blue_helix155]

hey sk8 i just love your videos you talk very clear and i can understand each word. keep up the work!

[@preecey6068]

With the camo, rate of fire and accuracy you are definitely the sniper supporting the team in the weeds popping heads 😂

[@blamechan]

Its basically a Centurion on steroids

[@siva4wotblitzhero531]

Get out! We already have an OP Centurion! Its called the Action X

[@Jack-vd1iv]

SIVA mem.2769 SIVA mem. code 6359 ... are u high

[@MrGlobonaut]

When a Draw is seen as a loss...

[@siva4wotblitzhero531]

A Draw is a Loss for Both Teams,so yes it is a Loss

[@MrGlobonaut]

You said it, it’s more than a usual loss! But why not naming it like that? A Draw is exactly what you said but that Word Loss doesn’t give me that information. Besides, even a draw can feel for yourself as a victory, when the enemy just couldn’t kill you for example. And even the enemy would say in such moments it’s more of a loss to them.

[@diegolisandror2]

@King Ghidora Kaiju No you are wrong, a Draw IS a loss for Winrate because you DID NOT WIN that battle... Let's say that you play 10 battles you get 5 victories, 4 defeats and 1 Draw... your winrate is 50% so Draw=Loss Check out your stats and do the math ive done it before.

[@shubhendu1990]

Thanks alot for coming back !!! Missed ur voice 😊

[@LordCantius]

All 3 of the new brit lights have massive numbers for Masteries... I love them all, just not mastered them after release...(i tested the vickers light 105, so mastered that a few times lol) And I didn't realise the weight either, does explain the "how did I survive getting rammed lol"

[@hisroyalfatness]

Honestly to balance this tank I am expecting WG to nerf the DPM and gun handling. The tier X Vickers has a very disappointing gun in comparison to the CR, but it’s balanced.

[@theaverageblitzer4034]

Great analysis of the tank!

[@shindagaming7011]

“The British have amazingly accurate” *Sideways glance to look at the 183*

[@chiliparadiseable]

I had not checked the weight and I was actually surprised about the damage you caused in the first battle. According to the experiences of the past, they will wait another update before they'll nerf it. And the other thing is that they have announced in the birthday stream that they intend to buff the light tanks, (starting from Tier VII as they did with the Heavies' HP buff) in terms of mobility... which might be another indication that they won't nerf it straight away... ;)

[@royal3380]

"It's not normal for a light tank" *Laughs in Sheridan*

[@jylpah]

Omg. OP as hell. 1600 base Xp and 1st class. I can hear it coming

[@ksuma715]

1.5k base...2nd class. JEEZ!

[@MM-hm1ps]

Great battles, wow no Mastery with such results? Wow, thx for the video!

[@stevebettany8778]

I got rammed and was very surprised when I came off best but just assumed it was a one off. It will be kept in mind now though.

[@EconomicsMate1]

I prefer the vickers crusier over the vickers light 105 imo. Its def stronger, and maybe even slightly broken. I love it! #Sk8isBack

[@ironbullet9956]

Cr is wayy too overcooked .

[@Kilooma]

SK8 was wondering if you could do a review on the M41 bulldog, anyways nice video mate

[@Soir27]

Everybody gangsta till they see a vickers light

[@IvikosDigital]

Looks like the charioteer before it was nerfed to the caveman days

[@thescruffyfisherman9848]

man i miss your vids man. meadsy and pantouf are too fake i think and bushka never uploads. i just love how real you are and love watching your vids over any blitz you tuber. KEEP IT UP!!!

[@archie598]

By the way you talked about that clip ramming the “T92E1” but it was a Sheridan btw, just thought you ought to know

[@cliffrossberg8951]

3:14 he rams a T92E1 Edit: maybe I should have watched the full vid first lol

[@panzerfowst-exp-9567]

Ah, sk8... I don't know if you remember 4-5 years ago, but 1.6-7k experience back when the Object 140 was the OP 140 would have maybe been perhaps a 2nd Class Mastery if you were lucky. xD Talk about broken tanks! =P

[@bobjones1992]

sk8 how did you get the camo the black and white one looks sick buddy

[@mouth7137]

This and the vickers light is now one of the reason why you shouldn't use the HEAT gun on the centurion 7/1 and the Fv4202

[@imatoaster7831]

Senior E one of the many reasons, id even forgotten they come with heat

[@hisroyalfatness]

Okay shooting heat at a Vickers makes no difference if you hit the gun mantle. Use the HESH guns because you can obliterate them via lower plate, sides, and rear.

[@twitchfunk6242]

Could you make a review on the Sheridan?

[@ytchannel7027]

Good games, well played, yeah i uploaded a 6k game with 4 kills on my channel and only got a first class and i got to the tank pretty early, think i found an afk wt early on in the grind and got my ace that way but thats it lol, just one before i got to the tier ten

[@vladimirborzanovic6522]

As much as I liked pre-nerf charioteer, it needed a nerf.. Remember I had game of 5.5k dmg and 5 kills, and it was a 2nd class.. Not natural at all :D Same applies to this little beast.. Again, nice one sk8!

[@siva4wotblitzhero531]

In Reality the Charioteer made such a Large and Thick Cloud of Smoke when it Fired its Main Gun that the Commander had to walk about 20 Feet or More to the Side of the Tank to see if they hit the Target....but here in World of Tanks we dont have Smoke Clouds,kinda wish we could use Smoke Launchers but some arsehole in every Game would Spam those and then Pick Apart half of the Enemies Team in some Tiers....

[@archie598]

I hate lights because I’m usually a heavie, sometimes I’m playing my T-43 as well and that thing gets lucky bounces and I play it semi aggressive, if the entire team is around the corner then I’m not going to rush, but I will pick shots, if it is another medium or anything in tier 6 then I will rush it and play aggressive and it seems to work, first day playing it and I have already researched all the modules and made 67k XP so I’m close to the T-44, anyone have any ideas how you play that or is it the same as the T-43? Another thing the modules on the T-43 are fragile and get damaged easily so I often find myself having used my repair kit and having damaged modules still, is it the same for the T-44?

[@christang1194]

The T44 has wayy better frontal armor, if you angle enough you're gonna bounce and ricochet a couple of shots, but obviously you shouldn't over-rely on it too much. The gun on the T44 also packs a healthy 280 alpha damage, which is more than enough to bully most tier sevens which often only pack a 160 or 200 alpha gun. The T44 does have bad penetration though, so you will have to circle heavies to pen some of those shots

[@jonf.i-k729]

Yeah, agreed with the points provided by the first poster, you should watch the somewhat long reload, because most meds go aggressive if you don’t scare them with the big alpha. The T-44 also isn’t a T-43, and shouldn’t be played exactly the same. Use more spots with flat terrain hiding the hull while exposing the decently good turret, and angle as much as possible, but it won’t work in every case. When I used it, I ran it semi-aggressive with meds, angling and abusing the turret, but at this point (it was pre-2017 so I don’t have the youngest experience with it, but it should be fine), I believe you should run more APCR. More players are flooding tier eight and above, so you should load a decent amount of Prammo because of tier 9 meds like the 54 and E 50 and heavies. Whatever you do, don’t face off against the big heavies (KV-4, Obj. 252Us, Mäuschens, etc.) because even the Prammo sometimes struggle against the tough armor, and combined with an experienced player make it nearly impregnable. Hopefully, (with the support of teamwork and RNG) you should gang-rush and swarm big and well-armored tanks. Also, good luck on the way to the Russian meds! (You’ll need it, the stock T-54 is arguably the worst stock tank in the game, suffering from slowness, HORRIBLE penetration, and a sensitive ammorack). And whatever you do, please make sure your commander is strapped in before he gets blown clean out by the ammorack ^-^

[@SamK-vk7kb]

Get everything on the T-44 to reduce the likelihood of the ammorack detonating. I've ammoracked so many T-44s with a T49, ISU or Jpanther II...

[@archie598]

@Chris Tang I have recently acquired the T-44 and I have upgraded tracks and the first Tier 9 engine, first of all is the next on worth it, and second of all should I put the 100mm on or the 122mm

[@theextratank7792]

A R C H I E T-44 with 122mm might have good damage per shot but its premium penetration goes down (I think) and the DPM is just terrible. Also goes without saying that bigger guns tend to have worse handling. Suggestion would be to get the 100mm first since it’s more useful and use the 122mm as a “challenge” gun if you’re bored.

[@jokerman9295]

Sk8 how did you get that camo on the vickers?

[@filthymcnasty9818]

I think I have like 50 battled and 77% WR in this tank. Just lovely!

[@sp4rtavus244]

Filthy Mc Nasty WG will make sure that number will come down as they always do.

[@nou5792]

its gun manlet is just fantastic its so fun to play.

[@simonroebuck7145]

I stopped playing this game about 6 weeks ago. Im glad i did. This tank seems as broken as the T92 and Sheridan when they was released. a light tank takes apart an E50 in first battle, like WTF. And then over 1k blocked damage in second battle and takes apart a K91 (isnt that a premium tank). I understand a good player can make any tank look good, but WG, this is a joke. It really frustrates me that i feel the gameis so unbalanced that i wont play it anymore!

[@hisroyalfatness]

Sure the tank is a little rich, but nothing to compare to the original T92/Sheridan. This tank actually require intelligence to play well, unlike ATGM tanks with 370 pen and 560 alpha, which they had on release. Can’t compare them in the slightest.

[@sen5466]

I guess I got lucky on my Vickers. First battle was a mastery, 5k damage with 1.3k base xp. :))

[@AmaraHammerhead]

Kinda feel a little guilty over a 3800 damage loss in my Skorp G now. Lol

[@MrDNAcurry123]

It was a Mastery Sk8. Just a 1st class :)

[@jokerman9295]

8:33 Yea unless the t92 just shoots rockets over the hill and up your hull down ass

[@drasleona247]

I've done 150 rounds in it so far, with 72 winrate and 2560 average damage. It does need to be nerfed....doesn't make much sense why the DPM is so high especially with the cheap hesh rounds

[@sadrimathari5162]

Do you use calibrated shells ?

[@siva4wotblitzhero531]

How do you use Calibrated Shells? Is it on of the Pieces of Equipment for every Tank?

[@MikeJones-mj7yp]

@@siva4wotblitzhero531 yes apart from autoloaders you can choose gum rammer or calibrated shells 😀

[@MikeJones-mj7yp]

In the equipment screen yes

[@fivefourbravoandlittlebrav3640]

Damn no mastery... hmmm wp sk8

[@QuietVicAZ]

Where do I send replays?

[@gerafix88]

the one thing that hurts me is that WG will realize Vickers CR is OP and will nerf it 😥

[@ironbullet9956]

They should. Like they did with T92 and Sheridan

[@chieftain108]

I just unlocked this vehicle, and wow. I have 2.7K avg damage (my highest ever, my second is 2.3K with E 100) and it’s just so fun.

[@ironbullet9956]

Wait until you hit like 50 matches, you will have bot teams against tier 10 tanks.

[@kamikazeee1709]

today i rammed a sheridan for 700 dmg in my vickers... i feel accomplished

[@ijustwant7407]

this thing had better gun than m46patton

[@ijustwant7407]

and better turret

[@mattdirks7896]

Yeah this tank has made the M46 Patton completeely pointless. check the stats

[@some_random_wot_dude485]

Heartbreak win??? This is me when I am on 7k dmg and supremacy hits 1k points... and sth like 2k left over

[@siva4wotblitzhero531]

Yeah EVERYONE hates it when that Happens,always sucks when theres 1 Fast Tank left and he runs away and you cant Cap the Bases fast enough to stop the Points,thats why I despise Supremacy,its inferior IMO to Encounter Battles

[@Teefs143]

It will be nerf like most tank that came out and nerf later.

[@iValkyrie46]

Centurion 7/1 really have nothing against this tank

[@srww1977]

Loool u bully. Sweet opening

[@SoullessAndSynthetic]

Haha, have you been taking English lessons from Meadsy......desecrating tanks?

[@fivefourbravoandlittlebrav3640]

Wtf No mastery hmm but u played Well

[@Sean-rp1yw]

I don't think op plays it right. When u should brawl, u fled, the other way around too. These two plays don't deserve a mastery ace

[@simonk1307]

Only a first 😂 oh man that sucks, gg

[@jerryzhousteelergang7]

1

[@milanmrlian5228]

k-91 shot and you didn't even get a dmg !! I'm glad I'm not playing a game that doesn't know that light tank has no armor !! it pays to play a game that is unfair to the players - the world is quite unfair, I don't need more unfairness wg balance all tanks - lie every time ! as Kranvagn --> shot gold ammo on Mause on front armor 11:51wot blitz turns 6celebrate with us ! > live stream never be balance , never be worthy play ------code of honor

[@kevinprokopenko7023]

So listen up kiddies , this is how Blitz really works: It doen't matter too much what tank you have , although the OP PTW tanks help a little . Match making is completely controlled by the Algo. AFK s are assigned . They know that if one side for example has all 50% players and the other 40% .. or 50 000 game players en masse vs a few hundred, in the vaaaast majority of games its already decided. Having experimented fully with the algo and how it manipulates, the game is really just a complete control rig job. And no surprise, as the company is from a murderous commie dictatorship. See no more mystery. They are filthy corrupt.

[@ThishandlefeatureISdumb]

I used to think this way when I played pc wot then I came to blitz and have a 70% wr. Granted I have about 40% platoon rate but I’d still be around 60 sometime % wr without platooning. If you have a decent amount of games and still have bad wr, it just means you are bad at the game. Compared to pc wot, you have sooooo much more impact on deciding victory. 1/15 is 7% of the team 1/7 is 14% and 2/7 is 29%. I played a ton, I’ve won some clutch games where I carried and lost some games with 4 unicums on the team. I wouldn’t say that the game is really well balanced but “MM is rigged” is what shit players say. I’ve yet come across someone in game that complains MM is rigged with above 60% wr.
