[@basilabeysekra7389]

im commenting before even before watching the video, i pretty much agree there are some sort of russia bias in this game, or overall soviet vehicles are superior to german counter parts in most ways no doubt, and i'll back that statement up with a few comparisons and points, lets look: 1. *E50M vs obj 430U* both are aggressive tanks that have close combat playstle, E50M, shit turret armour with weak cupola, 430U tiny cupola and 330effective with space side protection (before nerf) 2. *Panzer VII vs obj 705A* both similar in sidescraping and rear turreted playstyle with strong lower plate armour and a quite a punchy gun, 705A invulnerable to everything apart from HE, no turret weakspot, very tough slopped upper side armour. panzer 7 sidescrapes, reveals 3 weakspots, turret buldge 220 effective armour, 200mm turrett mantlet armour and cupola. 3. *obj2684 vs jagpze100* , both are rear turreted assault TDs, prefer close to mid range fights, obj 2684, 250mm range finder armour, (300mm previously) highly mobile, tiny strip of lower plate weakness, but if in your face its auto ricochet, 320mm effective superstructure, good gunhandling, jagpze100, giant lower plate weakness, weak superstructure pennable with most gold ammo, and has mg turret with 175mm armour. terrible mobility with narrow gun arc, rather poor gun handling, and yes the firepower differs but the russian counter part has more advantages than disadvantages. i could go on and on, and it'll take forever, anyway tldr: german vehicles slow and fat, flat and weak unslopped turret armour, (maus,e100,e50) with giant cupolas with huge broadside. most russian tier X meds and heavies 330++ effective rounded turret, has mobilty blackhole side armour that magically absorbs your shells.

[@MM-ny7dv]

obj 705a has a really weak but tiny weakspot on the side and the side armor is rather weak for a sidescraping focused heavy and the upperplate is easily penetrated with gold. Also the gun is really inaccurate and can miss shots from 20 metres.

[@Sazabi4prez]

So you mean no Russian bias ? Thought so

[@eniff2925]

If it was designed by a communist country or it was developed by israel it's op, if it was researched by german it is weak or meh.

[@zeroyuki92]

In all cases you presented all the Germans have better guns though. Yes it might not fully balance it out but not adding them at all in the comparison is also a bias on your part

[@TheLtVoss]

@@zeroyuki92 well the precision and the penetration of German guns is good but the firepower is "balanced" do to low Dpm so the Germans don't have better firepower over other nations but even the penetration advantage is just not enough to have more possibilities on a strong armored target and the precision would is also negotiable because many weak points (like hatches and stuff) a patched out and the distance in game is to small to make a difference

Real life t-62 and t-54 had fire rate while stationary of ~4 shots per minute, however in game that is different 4. 99.9% of manufactured T54s had upper front plate of 100mm, in game 120mm, because reasons. 5. Difference between soviet tanks and chinese soviet based tanks is huge weakpoint on top of chinese tanks. 6. How long did it take for WG to nerf: - ISU152 gun (5 years) - KV-1S 122mm gun (4 years) - tier 5 KV-2 (3 years) 7. There are 40+ soviet premium tanks 8. Bounciminium/Stalinium armor - chinese tanks which are soviet-based lack all of that curve and space armor. WONDER WHY. 9. T22 10. Obj. 907 (hows your ranked gameplay?) 11.

I have the Bounty Rotation Mechanism on my SU-122-44. It really changes the way you can snipe with it, because the gun arc isn't very big and thus you have to turn your hull regularly. Also it becomes utterly uncircleable, with 54°/s of traverse. Being able to quickly turn corners and get the finishing shot on a flanked heavy before they can even turn their turret is a nice bonus, too.

Hey Quickybaby, I've watched your channel for years and have always enjoyed the content. My first every experience playing WoT was back when it was first introduced to console. It use to be a copy and pasted version of the version on PC, but nowadays it's a money hungry version that feels like it's less about a good game and more about a quick cash grab. It even still has tanks like the Waffle and FV215B 183. The game is even testing a new mechanic where no matter how far you are from your enemies, you're able to see tanks in the distance. It essentially makes spotting virtually useless as you can shoot across maps at tanks that have never even been spotted. I was wondering if you ever considered looking into this a making video about the vast differenceces between console and PC? I believe the video would make for an interesting look into a different iteration of the game. Hope this doesn't get lost in the comment section!

[@Betterhose]

6:27 I play my beloved JgPz E100 exclusively like that. I think the JgPz E100 is a transclassual tank. A heavy tank born into the wrong class. The armor is actually decent when used correctly and with down to 20 seconds reload it is almost comparable to E-100, PzKpfw VII and 60TP. And as soon as enemy heavies realize that there is a 17cm gun fighting on the other side of their chosen route, they will often get very hesitant to make advances.

Can't believe you didn't talk about the sad weak points of the Pz.Kpfw VII. Angle the tank easy pin on the round hull portion. Dont angle the tank. Easy pin on the lower plate. It has its moments but as a brawler it's lacking more than its impressing.

[@T51B1]

grille and leopard are good, e50M will be good after the buffs, the rest of the tier 10 german tanks are just turds. E100, Maus, Pz 7 are just big meatballs; E100 and Maus people just press 2 and load HEAT and the rounds go right through the armor (most T10 Soviet tanks have 340 HEAT or above, what a coincidence!). Pz 7 could be OK but WG left big weak spots on the sides that even regular rounds will go right through if you side scrape with it (whats the point of the rear turret then?). Rhm Pzw is just terrible, it's a meme its so bad. Jg Pz E100 is so slow and the meta is fast tanks firing HEAT that it's just a novelty tank you bring out for some lols sometimes to maybe get a good hit with the gun. And that's just the T10 tanks. Soviet tanks ARE better. There are multiple mechanics in place in the game that are the way they are because it benefits Soviet tanks.

[@tomto8748]

I'd like to disagree on heavies part. German tanks have more hp that any other country and that makes them amazing when people shoot gold or are just good players who know enemy weakspots. Top tier heavies like S. Conq or Kranvagn cannot afford to take a hit from other heavies bcs if it penetrates it will take no less than 20% of their hp. And don't get me started on HE which shreds all those Chieftains and Conquerors. German tanks just bounce HE with thick not sloped armor. They are amazing damage sponges that can take a beating and return a solid punch.

[@Gencrossbones]

German TDs that lead to the grille (wish it's still the WTF E100) are sneaky TDs that snipe from afar and use their concealment to move and shoot with their large and accurate guns. German heavies has the highest HP in game that act like damage sponges for their team and return fire with a good and solid gun. The german non turreted TDs are frontline TD unlike the grille line they're meant for about medium range combat and support their teams. The E100 line is mostly for being a heavy tanks that has some properties of medium tanks.

2 of the few tier X tanks that I own are the E50 M and the 121. 121 was my first tier X, actually. So I’m happy that these two are getting attention, it always felt strange to me for the E 50 M to supposedly have armor, yet I’d get penned more than not. I get it’s a medium tank, not suppose to have some crazy amount of armor, but I felt like where I played it’s supposed strengths, found it was more a chance play than an actual strength. I loved the 121 in the fact it was the one and only medium tank at tier X that had 440 alpha. THAT was it’s strength. Regardless of how “lame” it’s armor was, it packed a punch, and to me that’s what I loved about it. Since they released the Obj. 430 U... It’s been saddening. It was saddening, especially with the match making attempting to compare them as equivalents. They weren’t equals. The 430U has always been better. Hopefully this armor buffs evens the playing field. The 121 favors gun handling over armor, 430U armor over gun handling, but the difference is at 20mm of armor, only 5. I don’t know, we will see. I’m optimistic.

The biggest problem with the Grille 15 is that its extremely situational. The lack of a 360 degree turret is a major departure from the playstyle learned from the Borsig and WT pz4. No frontal armor, combined with pathetic penetration for a tier 10 TD, means this is a flanking sniper only, and with most maps being corridor in design, it rarely has a chance to shine. There is a reason why it among the lowest winratio TD at tier 9 and 10. Without any doubt, the Grille 15 was the biggest disappointment for a tier 10 TD I've ever had to experience.

I agree with Foch when he says just give these tanks good accuracy, like the Swedish TDS. But no, just slap 270 turret armor on which makes it a 50% chance with a good tier 10 gun or a 100% chance if you load the gold. Would be great if they rewarded skill instead of making everyone press their 2 key. I stopped playing this in 2016 and came back the last couple weeks and the difference in the pay to win element is much worse. Even with all the improvements... I like the new looks / teams seem to play a lot smarter / and the artillery reword is definitely an improvement. But I can't take the game seriously with how pay to win it has become.

[@StarkRaven59]

It's not obviously pay 2 win, but it still encourages paying. High tier economy is bad, "gold" shells are expensive, and with how pervasive their use is, you practically have to buy a tank or run a premium account to break even. Then of course there are all the badly balanced premiums. There will be people who say the game isn't pay to win, but if you go free the deck is stacked against you.

Imho we need another sneaky flanking sniper TD at tier X. Sure we have strv 103b, but it's siege mode is not that good. What I'm trying to say is that a tank like amx cda 105 on tier X would bring more alternative gameplay. Sure we have grille, but it's camo and rof doesn't fit that role. I saw some projects on making TD on leopard 1 chasis (google jagdleopard) and imho it would be extremaly fun to play. High rof and camo values combined with great mobility and no need for pesky siege mode would refresh tier X TD gameplay.

[@agmf5420]

Hey QB, thx for the vid: I enjoyed it and I agree with your summary. As a German, I can be considered to have a certain bias towards "our" tanks and I recognize, that WG has recently put effort in making them more competitive. But let me ask you one question: is there any T8-10 German tech tree tank, that you'd consider to be among the top 3 competitive one's? Same question towards the russian line? And those questions don't even aim at discussing the power creep. My point is: it is nice, that you point out how to increase the gaming quality of some German tanks, but for me the main question is always, how are they in relation with other nation's tanks and I would really like to hear an opinion to that, one without political correctness ;-) Another more "emotional" aspect: most tech tree lines end in a T10 vehicle, that is a goal worth achieving, something to look forward to. And I know arties aren't popular, but, why does the german arty line have to be SO uninteresting? Why can't WG do the only reasonable thing and find a way to integrate the one SPG, that actually existed and would be a one of a kind tank in the game: Sturmtiger!! Pls dont lecture me about balancing, I know, that this tank is a challenge to integrate, but it would be something worth grinding towards, rather than "slow Tiger SPG 1", "still slow Tiger SPG 2", "And yet again slow E100 SPG"... Thx for your support of matters at hand ;-) BR AGMF

[@violetstetpedder-4824]

What do you mean by top 3 competitive German tanks? Leopard 1 and PTA are both among the best mediums on their respective tier. E50 is really strong (have to see the buff to E50M). E75 is probably the best T9 heavy. VK100 is the best "superheavy" T8 heavy. Sturmtiger was already in the game.
