I always wished spall liner would add a few milimeters of extra armor ( 5-10mm at most) everywhere on the tank, since you know, its an extra layer of steel. It would also justify its weight. And for the camo net, i think your camo bonus should gradually decrease the faster you are going, and not instantly disappear when you start moving.

Only the real difference is that damage comes in discrete amounts, so This literally means "occasionally you can take an extra shot". That could mean 0 extra time (you get overkilled anyway), or potentially infinite (up to game duration). On average this is half a game, so quite important.

As would be a camo net I would have thought. Your arty might be in a bush, but a camo net will make it even harder to spot.

[@Cyrtox]

Bond Vents are worth it. Especially if you have a lot of skills. If you have a favorite tank and want to max it out, I would always go for bond equipment and in many cases vents (since with max skills you often only need a tiny bit of view range). Unless you are a collector and want to collect bond tanks...

[@futurova]

I noted some things that I think are important to mention: - many players are still crawling around with standard equipment, so I think that is the base measurement of equipments (since they are also the ones you can easily get without much effort and money put in the game as well) - binoculars and ventillation work wonders when your crew is less developed - I'm talking about 1-2 skill crewsets - many vehicles do significantly better with improved aiming - an equipment I'd place into A tier myself - this goes for players without maxed out perks/equipments/consumables as well Great video nonetheless. Still waiting for camo net to be a useful item.

[@petrmalik1700]

UDES 15/16, Char Futur 4, Bourrassque - all have CVS in their secondary set-up ... thanks to their MASSIVE camo, they can pretend to be LTs for the end game and even for games where there is no LTs at all. Believe me, there is replays I could send that prove QB right so much. Just depends on your playstyle.

Artys should be removed from the game. 3. Even in a minmax enviornment, bonds are rare and basically not worth the effort unless you are a sweaty vet who likes every stat to be maxed out. 4. experimental equipments are stupid and OP. 5. Remove arty from the game

[@peterashton7522]

Thanks for this. I've got some choices coming up on equipment coming from BP and this is really helpful.

[@janl574]

Alright chems consider this: Food is immediately S Tier, because it boosts nearly everything. BOND Vents give you 8,5% which means 4,25% increase of stats that are effected by crew skills. It's almost half percentage you get from food. Vents should be at least C tier. But the most important thing you didn't mention is the possibility of combining equipment. Vents therefore decrease the need for optics, stab, and improved aiming. Basic example: You don't need optics and stab on Leo 1 cause it has very good values from the start. Instead you take BOND Vents and you will get a noticeable improvement in overall performance. Stab or Optic would be a wasted slot. You can't compare the DPM increase when using vents, cause it's minor. It's the overall effect it has in combination with other equipment. In my Leo I use Rammer, Hardening and Vents (all Bond) + Food Non-bond-vents are useless, that's true.

[@adanenedary7350]

Tbh when I first time play WoT and I saw vents. I tought it'll help your crew to reach 100% faster XD. Also basic vents kinda useful for new player to find it's playstyle. Because the more they play, the more they know the strength and weakness of the tanks without spending so much credits. (This just my opinion)

[@niallmartin4098]

I agree bond vents definitely have a place. Bond vents + food takes my Borat to just over max view range, so I don't need optics, and the vents will boost other stats which it makes better use of. Bloom after firing, camo, reload etc. Same on the Char futur.

[@capbuster1424]

to be fair...vents is a piece of equipment...and there are better options for equipment food on the other side is a consumable...and you can easily replace the extinguisher (which...tbh when was the last time you used it compared to a repair and med kit) with food I personally have a reserve of 1k normal extinguishers and 500 premium extinguishers....and the numbers are still growing maybe you'll need a extinguisher once every 15 games....that is 1 consumable slot wasted for 14 games on the other hand...you can feel the effects of the equipment you use in every game you play and imho, in agreement with chems...spending bonds on equipment is just not worth it...there are simply better things to get with bonds...not to mention you can only "farm" bonds from tier 10 games... I personally dropped vents on my bourrasque for a turbo - turbo + rot device/vert stab + optics (all normal equipment and no food cause i'm cheap) and I am having better games than when I was using vents

[@JosephZepeda]

Chems is wrong on vents. A 5% increase to skill crew gives 2.5% increase to every skill-based stat. This means a standard vent is 1/4 of a rammer (2.5% vs 10% faster reloading), 1/2 of an improved aiming (2.5% vs 10% smaller dispersion vs), 1/4 a rotation device (2.5% lower dispersion and 2.5% faster traverse vs 10% and 10%), 1/4 of an improved optics (2.5% vs 10% more view range), 1/4 of a gun laying drive (2.5% vs 10% shorter aiming time), ~1/4 of an additional grouser (2.5% better traverse and ground resistances vs 10% and 15%), >1/3 a low noise muffler (2.5% more concealment vs 6%). Bonds vents is even better because unlike most other bond equipment it is a 70% (4.25%/2.5%=1.7) improvement over the standard. Compare that to a bond gun rammer which is only a 35% improvement (13.5/10%=1.35). Vents is at least B tier. The only tanks that shouldn't use it are tanks that are so bad at some crucial stat that they need to invest in another equipment get maximum improvement.

[@vuxluongw]

but then why waste bonds on vents when there's bond rammer and bond hardening to be purchased. comparing vents to the stuff of its same type/color, it is still very much D tier equipment, simply because it's a bad investment

[@chrismas_7306]

I agree with the vents statement, i also do not really use it but it might change due to the changes in the crew system as it will boost every crew skill

[@alexaandrei7884]

Thank you chems for showing some examples with your explanations

[@SuperMorganator]

I think you forgot that improved rotation mechanism actually decreases the bloom while turning so you are faster at target with the same bloom which imo is a clear advantage. Also on the double barrel tanks i think it has its use cause they turn the turret very slow and, as you rightfully stated, verstabs isnt needed on them. Overall solid Tier List 👍

[@lukebedros674]

He explained that bloom is correlated with rotation speed. So u turn faster, it probably offsets the accuracy u gain from rotation mechanism. If not hurts it even more than it helps

[@SuperMorganator]

@@lukebedros674 if thats the case then wg is really dumb (as we all know) but i wanna see that tested ingame

[@MikeRogersZA]

I think both@@SuperMorganator and @chems are correct. The IRM description specifically says it reduces disperson by 10% during movement, traverse and after firing. So this will provide a 10% improvement to dispersion (relative to not having IRM) when simply moving and firing (whch is good - and I think overlooked by @chems) but will be offset by the 10% greater dispersion caused during the faster rotation (which was @chems' point). So don't get IRM for better accuracy during rotation - get it for better accuracy during movement and after firing, and for faster rotation with normal (but not worse) rotation inaccuracy.

[@MrMapower]

I think Quicky is a really good source for people who are just coming into the game, as bad of a time as it may be to get into WOT now.

I have a question now that vents works a lot more on crew skills. Would vents go up in tiers if you have a 6-skill crew? Since it will help almostg every skill (slightly)?

[@iqcool]

Config is super good on the IS-4 in my experience, because the ammo rack is right behind the angled cheek armour in the front, which is the easiest place for enemies to pen you when you're trying to brawl or sidescrape (assuming there isn't time to reverse sidescrape).

[@jeremyzabel2923]

I think the Mobility Improvement System is a great choice for many TDs, at least the ones that play more actively and aggressively, like the T30 and E4 in particular. Basically the full Turbo boost plus a portion of Vstabs (which isn't available to TDs ofc) is a nice deal.

[@jaraldoe]

Keep in mind for spall liner it only lowers damage if HE hits you directly. For arty splash though it doesn’t help.

[@paulabbott3601]

I put the Mobility Improvement System T1 on the Tortoise, I did have a standard turbo, but as the Tortoise does not have a mobility slot, the experimental equipment is just better, giving extra traverse and less dispersion.

I found that the new comboturbo at tier 3 is really good on the minotauro. also the turbos boost of horsepower is multiplied by the rocket boosts. so its formula is like this (baseHP*turbo)*rocket.

[@michaelmichael8147]

Excellent review. Are you going to update after Crew Perks 2.0

[@x_devasto_x6104]

There's 1 thing to mention about vents, idk if they rework it or not for now, i mean: they're still planning to rework perks, and so on they told that thinks like food and even vents will boost not only statistics slightly, but also boost ALL of ur perks (with few exceptions), meaning went's will lead to give lots of more bonuses than ever before, the more perks u get, the more beneficts vents will give for vehicle, if they give those perks as are planning for now, i would've give it to B/A tier, but more B, cuz hp will still be a better option overall, or turbo

[@veoa416]

The experimental turbo (T3) together with turning mechanism and vert stabs can give you in the neighbourhood of 40% reduced dispersion. This is AFTER FIRING, too. Sickly strong on BC 25t and other autoloaders that struggle with aiming time vs intraclip

[@chrissdevano]

As for the other experimental equipment: fire control system is game changing on autoloaders with poor gun handling. You mentioned the Foch B and how it needs 2 pieces of equipment to reach a sensible bloom in between its shots. With fcs, it only needs 1. Would also recommend on bourrasque. Mobility whatever system I would say is mostly useful on tanks with poor gun handling that you want to use turbo on. Tanks that come to mind are BZ-75, BZ-176 and 60TP. Hope that helps :) PS. Spall liner is F tier Edit: Foch B cant use FCS bc its a TD, but if it was allowed it would work very well

[@AzureOtsu]

that spall liner had a pretty hard R

[@wolfaja755]

Bind vents give a 4.5% increase to almost every stat of the tank, you bundle that with good crew skills and you have a tank that is just outright 4.5% better. It’s similar to experimental equipment being a mix of two other types of equipment basically nullifying the other two completely when at t3. Using vents with good crew skill and a few other pieces of equipment can get something like the 60tp down to a dispersion of .33 , aim time of 2.49 (can be improved with different field mods down to 2.24), view range of 449 , dispersion during tank traverse of .19, dispersion during movement of .18, dispersion during turret rotation of .08, and a 15.24 second reload. If you drop the experiential fire control system and vents and replace them with hardening and very stabs the results are very interesting. You end up with a .6 second longer reload, .32 second longer aim time, .02 worst dispersion while stationary, .03 better while doing anything except turret traverse which is .1 better you’re just as fast on hard and med terrain but 1 slower on soft, you healthier by 330 which is big however I find that when I die in a 60tp it’s usually because my team died by just running at the enemy and it goes from a 5v5 to a 5v1 so I’m not sure how much better that is I have to do testing, your view rant is almost 20 meters less as well. The only benefits for not running bond vents is dispersion values during movement and hp everything else is worse. I find with my 60tp I typically don’t fire on the move and I make micro adjustments where my aim time counteracts any added dispersion from the movement by the time I fire. Overall the benefits from vents on something like a 60tp outweighs using any other type of equipment and if I wanted better dispersion while moving I could swap out my fire control with very stabs and trade sometime for better dispersion while moving and that’s the only difference. In doing so I still have .1 better aim time with the same dispersion values as running without vents except I have vents and I get all the same increase to view range, aim time, ground resistances, and reload speed. You could run another piece of equipment instead of hardening except you’re now wasting the bonus slot and therefore not using the full potential of the build. Theoretically you could get on par with vents in terms of aiming with a gun laying drive but you’d still be down on everything else and on par with health. You turn your only benefit into moving dispersion and that’s it. Worst loading speeds, view range, dispersion, ground resistances, repair speed, traverse speed, and yes even camo if you have that perk. They aren’t minuscule amounts of disparities either, we’re talking .25 faster repairs, a degree a second in both turret and track travers, 20 meters less view, 1 kmh slower (this is the low one), .02 more dispersion, .6 slower reload. I mean you’re just worse across the board without vents especially in vehicles with so bad statistics on reload, gun handling and mobility. Really don’t see why you think vents are so bad when they can do this much.

[@pavelperina7629]

Pretty valid. I sometimes use IRM stacked with vstab. 40% decrease of dispersion on bourrasque is nice. Plus it turns noticeably faster. But bourrasque is weird tank that would benefit from six equipment slots and people argue if it's better to use IA or IRM, optics or vents, ... I think for my playstyle (camping in the middle of the map), target acquisition speed is somewhat important. I despise char futur because of it.

[@Panzergraf]

The downfall of the experimental Fire Control-thingie is that it can only be used by tanks that can equip a vert stab, so you can't put it on a TD. And if you use it, then you can't use a vert stab. And the vert stab, even the regular one, is IMO still better than the tier 3 fire control thing. So pretty much F-tier.

I feel like experimental turbo is direct upgrade to all tanks that don't need more enginepower but need more accuracy or traverse speed, turtle 1 for example, with mediocre gun handling really appreciates the small increase, also really benefitting from faster turn speed, making it harder for people to out turn you.

[@sidneyleejohnson]

Thank you for encouraging us to save our bonds for special tanks. I think some of the equipment can go up or down based upon the situation (tank stats and/or crew available). Vents are more significant for a crew with all the skills for example? Or camo for tanks with very decent camo ratings (esp low tiers where this might help you earn that ace?) . Example take a M3 Lee and try to earn its ace without hiding behind bushes with a 100% camo crew and maybe a net? Some tanks just can't be trusted anywhere but behind a bush. lol. Ok extreme example but it literally was the only way I found myself winning with a M3 Lee. Sorry to everyone who lost the games with me in them before I played the M3 Lee like a Ninja (behind BIG bushes no less). Overall though I really thought your comments were very helpful. I think you managed to review them without over using the term "Meta" so thanks for that too. That said you did mention that the top 3 were used most frequently but didn't apply to every situation. Perfect! That said I do think your specific goal matters. Sometimes you have to think about what you are trying to accomplish, what map you are assigned to play in and learn to make adjustments that can leverage your situation. For example there may be missions (daily or campaign) that are more or less achievable with a different gear load out. You may have to think about your equipment to be able to complete these missions and then swap back to the normal advice after you get your mission.

Finally another video🙂

I run rammer, vstab, and IRM on my E75 - Is this not the optimal setup? Chems, what two equipment setups would you recommend for the E50? First setup: rammer, hardening, vstab. Second setup: vents, rammer, vstab, which I typically run when I was to play with the 8.8.

[@slaughterhouse6461]

Many thanks for this.

[@nathanvorhes]

Even though I don’t play anymore, thank ya Chems. :)

[@CharcharoExplorer]

This is good for Tier 8 through 10. But what should I put in tier 7s I like such as my IS-2?

[@kaiserchillhelm]

What equipment do you use on your shitbarn then? Turbo? Rotation mechanism?

[@perelmanych]

Two points. Vents increase also all perks, so it is much more useful when you have crew with 4+ perks. Second, VStab not only directly decreases loading time but also indirectly increases your DPM, since you can waste less time on aiming and start to load new shell faster. Regarding bond equipment, you still may use it if you do not have enough bounty equipment for all you tanks that you want be available in Onslaught regimen.

cvs is good for when you need an extra light and you have a moderately fast and stealthy med

[@mik1984]

1. Vents have been buffed, they are good if you can put them on a tank where you are not using the suggested equipment type, as they fit into every type of perked slot. I wouldn't put them into non-perked slots though. 2. Bond equipment is more powerful than reward equipment, however they do not overlap, like there is no bond turbochargers or bond exhaust system nor bond improved aiming, so you need to use reward equipment for that which is not offered in bonds and the bond version for the rest. 3. Improved survivability is not an equipment I like. It is useless on anything that does not base their game on surviving hits, it doesn't help in games where you survive at the end, it doesn't help to perform anything useful if you are able to survive that one extra hit, if there is another hit coming in a moment, because you are shot at by multiple enemies. There are other ways to increase your survivability, camo is survivability, mobility is survivability, gun handling is survivability(you can peak and shoot and hide faster, if you hit and kill, nothing shoots back). 4. Gun rammer also has limited use to guns with high DPM, but low alpha. Throughout the most decisive part of the game, which is the beginning, your tactic is going to be make a shot, retreat, wait to disappear, move in back in position for another shot - you cannot move back into shooting position before disappearing, because you have 4 guns with fully shrunk aiming circles waiting for you to show your hull. Thus you get no advantage from reloading slightly faster. 5. Camo net is excellent for many TDs for exactly reason that now you do not need to rely on bushes for sniping spots. You can ramp up your stationary camo so high that you can wait for your sniping shot in plenty of high ground places that don't have a bush, or even passive spot from there for a while. This is important because of meta, everyone knows the TD bushes, but if you no longer depend on bushes, there is plenty of spots where most players won't expect you.

I could argue that bounty equipment is quite expensive when you get more than one of them and being constantly broke. Sure it could mean a “skill issue”, but not every tanker has bought every tech tree tanks (even for future tech tree tanks as well). But, bond equipment is basically there for min maxing anyways.

[@tohkia8840]

chems deserves more tbh wg dont need to ban u they just hate how honest u are in the game

[@zondazerda2230]

What if the flamthrowers replaces the arties instead of HE? I don't think they made them an SPG just for the testing.

[@N4KTK]

cvs can be useful with high camo mediums (if you have field mods you can have equipment for scouting) with tanks like borrasque. most likely when there are no light tanks and its a bush map, even tho its very unlikely to happen its still possible

[@Hagurmert]

The mobility improvement device (experimental equipment) is super broken. It's as good as the turbo and also combines rotation mechanism, meaning reduces traverse dispersion. I have a tier 3 one on my VZ.55 for example, it makes it really good I still don't play the game much because it sucks

[@KIGGGER]

very nice video thank you!

[@thisColdDecember]

so in latest update, crew base level (main qualification is it called?) influences perks, meaning if you add food that's extra perk bonus, if you add vents, it's extra perk bonus. does this change the rating of the vents? starting with how many perks?

[@khoatran-sv7je]

The man's back! Just so anyone doesn't realise, bond hardening is available in the bond shop for 6k bonds.
