World of Tanks || FV4202 - Tank Review

[@koberoy5947]

I love coming back and watching old vids. Especially on a tank that I got after it came back earlier this year.

[@adioperta1451]

I love watching old QB videos too and when I'm watching them I just understand how much better WoT was back then(sry for bad English)

[@Sperrus]

Just got it two days ago, and i have to say that the turret armour is crap... Compared to the Centurion 7/1 with the mantlet the 4202 turret feels like a leopard turret. Whats the hardest for me, is that I have to change the playstyle I am used to from the Centurions... I hope that the Action X will have better turret armour...

[@EnergizedMane]

Fucking great review man. I wish they could give it a 48.5 kph buff to be fair!

[@patrykK1028]

I wish they kept it and put Action X as an alternative option like T-62A and Obj 140

[@Makex_]

But its tier 8

[@abacs21]

16:35 they did nerf the medium tank penetration values as well, but in the way of reducing normalization for APCR shells, so its much harder to penetrate sloped armor for them, even more than the heavy tank guns with overall reduced penetration. (The 121 got its pen nerfed too because it uses AP rounds)

[@dunkelctankwie8019]

I miss this tank

[@null_foo]

Did anyone else notice at 19:00 the lieutenant is called Balls...

[@hellomon100]

Vito Wong Best name ever

[@johntoland2096]

Vito Wong yep

[@hellomon100]

Not allowed to pick a name i want, thanks Google correct

[@nawazsaheb4845]

+Vito I cant see it

[@chargerdiecast]

Its amazing how much the game has changed in 5 years. The RGN is the only downside, but weights more than all the good things they made. It was a really shame see how has changed the players

[@ettiennenathan]

Looks like I’m not the only one looking at QB’s old videos to remember the good old times

[@shimrarin2660]

@@ettiennenathan yap ur not.the only one

[@chaosdd1]

Hey, QB, T10 mediums are shooting APCR as standart. Thats why the shell velocity is so high. The normalization of those was nerfed to only 2 deg, so their real world pen is now somewhat weaker than T10 heavies.

[@shafreak947]

This video was really helpful! Because now I'm actually grinding down the british med line to get the FV4202 and now currently at the comet, but this video was really helpful in telling me the pros and cons of the FV4202 tank! Thanks man! Love your videos!

[@Mrwutevah]

4:41 High explosive squashed head 30:41 The accuracy is Su-erb 32:00 Prits gonna have"editfail"fantastic DPM for a tank... Glad to hear you talk in a positive fashion about this tank, was a bit critical to it, as I was planning to go for the Centurion 7/1.

[@Tuxedolphin]

So happy im playing on blitz when FV haven't been removed and the top speed limit have been buffed to 50km/h

[@X_A_V_1_E_R]

Centurion AX is better

[@white4ndnerdy]

When WG took a detailed look at the FV4202 they made some unexpected discoveries. IRL, the frontal plate was only 50mm thick, had a weaker engine, and was only armed with an 85mm gun. I believe this is why there has been speculation of this tank being replaced. Personally, I hate mine and can't wait.

[@ohboywm]

Researched this tank about 6 months ago, and never bought it. I have the 62A, 140, E50M and the STB-1, with the ROF upgrade in 9.2, I think I will be finally buying this one.

[@davidwilliamlamont]

I like your game choices but I'd find it very useful to see a game highlighting the weaknesses of the tank and how the player has to adjust tactics to compensate.

[@stemitchell9571]

quicky thanks for the review, this has really made my mind up. had this researched for ages now along with the brit tx heavy and was just put off by the bad reports on the WoT forum. this will be my first Tx tank. keep up the good work m8

[@Quest723The]

Addendum, you don't have to catch the live version of the streams. They're all saved on Twitch under the past videos tab. There really is no way you can miss a broadcast.

[@RandomRelay]

The reason mediums have more penetration than heavies is because APCR normalization was nerfed to 5 to 2 degree. Effectively medium gun pen is very much in line with the heavies.

[@zwicky93]

Found you a couple of weeks back...big fan love the vids and the advice my game has improved greatly since I started watching...many thx

[@Retrosicotte]

"lacks a gun mantlet" It actually DOES have a gun mantlet. It's just internally designed. Unfortunately, because WG did no research on this tank at all when they made it for the game (It has so many inaccuracies) they never knew that and thus in game it doesn't count for any extra armour when in fact there's a rather thick mantlet behind that frontal slope. The more you know.

[@OrangeAmped]

Looking at that second game- it's nice when your team spots for you.

[@animalyze7120]

So weird to see this tank is now Premium tier 8 instead of tier 10, wow so much has changed especially how cool this map was then compared to today.

[@efinel]

I'm 50k away from this tank now (+ thankngod for the sept missoon!!!) I find the 7/1 guns difficult... long load on the 105 makes changing between ammo harder. Will be getting my loader trained in the perk for that now. The british tanks really suit the way i play... love em!

[@StandardName3]

Use the plus and minus next to the 0 key to make your map bigger/smaller.

[@amapolishplummer]

100% agree. I think they should add more damage to the HESH shells in this.

[@Gizzernl]

Very nice replay and good thinking of munitions use while playing!

[@Zeugenschutz]

yo quicky spot on review m8, intuition is handy on this tank, quick switching ammo and trashing batchats is fun. Like most of the Brit tanks they excel on open maps, if you could only play malanovka the fv4202 would be a OP god

[@rj82ndabn2002]

I fire mostly AP in my 183. I found that I actually have better results with it rather than HESH. It sure is satisfying to get a full pen with a HESH round though :)

[@Haren94]

Quickybaby, I'm really annoyed that when comparing the Tier X medium tanks guns you forget about the Leopard 1 all the time, while it has amazing RoF (6,95), accuracy (0,3) and aim time (1,9s), while still having the gun depression of -9°. I know that you don't have the Leo 1 yet, but you shouldn't forget about it, as it is a really dangerous opponent in good hands. Cheers from QSF-X, keep up the good work ;)

[@Retrosicotte]

Continuing on my last comment, the FV4202 needs it historical armoured turret (as some people on the forums went and confirmed on the actual tank, more than WG ever did, its commander's hatch made to historical sizes (half the size), the mantlet restored (as it should be) and gun upgraded to be similar to the Leo 1's, given the Fv4202 had superior sights and working areas to the Leopard 1 anyway (which was WG's reason for why its gun was better...which is wrong anyway)

[@AWSDRewindgrunt]

its basically the same thing,L7A1 on the FV to the L7A3 on the leopard, in real life its basically the same thing with the breech block on it cut down to fit inside the leopard's turret better. In game it's got better stats, and overall a better gun on the leopard than the FV.

[@reorx76]

Great video, this tanks is really great. it's not the most famous tier X medium but definitly one of the most enjoyable.

[@Haren94]

And accuracy, and aim time. And different prem shells (330 pen HEAT), and no HESH, but regular HE with 53 mm pen.

[@K0RiK0Ri]

The shot you took on the side of the WZ 111 1-4 most likely didn't go in because, a little known fact: it has the same type of angled and spaced armor like the IS-7 has on its side.

[@Fido4President]

You need the penetration in your TDs. Use HE only on very low HP targets or on tanks with low armor

[@robertbeech888]

Watched this review to find out if the tank was worth buying, after seeing the review I purchased the tank and is now my favorite tank. Thanks

[@kristofbusch3681]

You're serious or just trolling?

[@tankninja98]

great review! can you do a joint review of the 2 patton tanks next?

[@lungustefan2]

This tank is great,been looking forward to your review.Thanks alot

[@tankertanky2481]

FV4202 is my favorite tank and you are my idol for British tanks QuickyBaby Thanks for your review and game play.

[@JohnDoe-zb8it]

Yay, Vickers Medium Mk.I in QBs garage :D

[@8821Darren]

if you choose the right time to load a HE shell , its to finish off arties or LTs

[@Werewolfleague]

Well FV seems to do quite well in such a battle. One would prey for having the opportunity to play with you and mr. Jingles and Ikzor :P

[@youtubeisapublisher6407]

I'm headed right towards this tank, and frankly I can't wait, I hear many good things about it.

[@QuickyBabyTV]

Balls Rimmer Pinckard and Cunnington!

[@richardperkins8453]

I got this in March, shamrock mode, Love it.

[@EchozWOT]

HESH rounds are broken in the Centurion 7/1 and sometimes in the FV HESH does 75 in damage!

[@lordzulu4800]

Good vid QB theFV42 is a great tank would love to see you drive a AT-15A Also Any word on the next map tactic vid they really are very good

[@TheTemplarnight]

I've given up on this game, But ur videos are still fun to watch.

[@TahxicBleh]

My first tier 10 was between the Obj.140 or the FV4202 but I did choose the Obj.140

[@EliteJumpaX]

instead of the T26E4 having 2 plates of armour welded on it wargaming took 1 layer of armour off leaving it having only having 1 layer of spaced armour on the upper hull, The turret stayed the same

[@tankemchannel]

All QB's shots are cheeky

[@Chromodar]

Good video. Sad that you didn't mention the soft stats though, but oh well.

[@white4ndnerdy]

As an owner of an FV4202, I really hope it does get replaced.

[@ultramike224]

When I first bought mine it was right after everyone got 1000 gold and so I turned it into 10k free xp and bought the derp on it right off the bat. It still kinda sucked but it was better than the stock gun.

[@MrKioder]

to watch patch 8.7 replays you need to have a patch 8.7 client. and when you open the replay select the 8.7 exe file to open it with

[@a2b3c]

i really wonder what QB will think about the STB-1 and when a review will show up.. 2-3 things do really hurt the FV.. (beside of dubious HESH behaviour ingame) 1. mediocre and worse "acc on the move" than its predecessor and many other meds 2. screwed turretarmor (buggy?) 3. topspeed is hilarious in comparios to wT ratio, and hurts it most.. (did they forget to build in the 4th gear or smth)? it simply does not allow to get to important spots in the beginning on many maps its on the lower end of all T10 mediums to me.. but still playable ofc.. just sad that it doesn't get a buff that it would deserve (stunning acc on the move, or topspeed at least 48km/h)

[@Jeffy40Hands]

You missed out on the Leopard 1's gun. It's a modified version of the Brit's L7A1. Or at least that's what it appears to be.

[@f46k9d]

Frankly I think the HESH ammo on this tank should be buffed in terms of alpha dmg to around 600 dmg. Compare the only two premium HESH shells in the game, the 183 which does 52% more dmg than regular shell, while here it does only 23% more. And it costs more. The same goes for penetration. The use of this round is soo situational,(I´ve had a lot of tracks hits of batchats that did very little damage),that it should also be rewarding and when you hit right, you should be able to wreck the target.

[@ingoklingebiel6544]

For me it is the best tank

[@TheTemplarnight]

Sure, Plus the constant grind does get boring after a while but yes mostly that.

[@willbrum9180]

good specific tank matchmaking will bugger that though, limited to camping sniping 121 will eat it

[@juliusebert1655]

Great and very helpfull video. I´m really looking forward to this tank

Cannot wait to get FV4202!

Cool background in the garage. Is that a mod? If so, can you link it?

tanks look so funny back then.... Hey Quicky!

I want the action X already ^^

Wow, gold hack tool here => plus.google.com/116492373180689817181/posts/jAG8pwx5XYA Enjoy!

[@skylarsimes8]

coming in this patch! and the 4202 will stay as a prem as a bouns at t8!

[@dogman9657]

Why doesn't he have a comet review?

[@TheotherTempestfox]

because it's a really bad tank

[@dogman9657]

I loved my comet

[@jensjuul9518]

Tristan Lane He have made one now if you have not seen it

[@LombardiPls]

Kevin Jack-Nunez Comet is a great tank, see his review he just made. He says anyone who says it is a "Bad" tank is an Inexperienced player due to the fact that the Comet may have that 77MM but It can pack a punch in 1 min. What it lacks in pen it makes up for in the excellent rate of fire.

[@Jisoonsoon]

i use comet and kill a 3 heavy tank tier 7 in a row comet is like a Cromwell u can circle them to dead kinda

[@DunedainAkkarin]

I think that if you want a brawler medium, you'll be disabused of the notion of a British medium around the time you hit the Centurion 1. Seems to play a similar style, but with no hull armour to speak of, and a low alpha high rof gun. I assume that the Centurion 7/1 is more of the same (unless you mount the L7A1) and exchange rof for alpha.

[@Retrosicotte]

I really don't see why anyone can like this tank. It doesn't do anything better than other tier 10's, can't do hull down on account of terrible turret armour and a huge commander's tumour, gets outurn by others...so it can't be a flanker, sniper or a "tank" tank. It's just a midground thing with a couple of oddities, but it's competitively worse than anything else. T-62A, Obj 140 etc, they just wreck the FV4202 easily, especially with their damage buffs in the coming patch.

[@casualnerfdragon3029]

"Second lieutenant Balls"? eww...

[@casualnerfdragon3029]

***** I have a "warrant officer 1st class Dixon Balls"

[@Deucecat5201]

That Balls guy's full name is Woody Balls

[@casualnerfdragon3029]

lol

[@Spencer10246]

I like the name of your crew 2nd Lt. Balls and Warrant Officer Rimmer.

[@0neLessCar]

OMG - u uploaded it 2013 =/ Thank you for this review

[@acox1805]

+777chriss0r haha...saw your comment on his new video and had to come watch this one to; you werent alone

[@0neLessCar]

thanks bro ;}

[@igrejapentecostaluniaocris1958]

Wow, gold hack tool here => plus.google.com/116492373180689817181/posts/jAG8pwx5XYA Enjoy!

[@TheGrammargestapo1]

YES! THANK YOU! This was the tank I chose for my first Tier 10! Nearly there, just a bit further....

[@JillerKiller]

Did u get it? :D

[@Papzt89]

It was the 13 90 driver :D

[@JaneCobbsHat]

Sure, except that every other tier 8 money maker is much more expensive. So you can sell tier 8 and get tier 7 with less earning potential or pay extra gold to get another tier 8.

[@juanms8747]

Can you say that it is like an hybrid tank between the german (e50) and u.s.a mediums? Seems more versatile at least than both of them.

[@str8forthakill]

Its the only tier10 medium tank to share top gun with its tier9 counterpart.

[@KingSNAFU]

RIght now my three tier X's are the M48A1, FV215b heavy, and the FV4202. My clan must hate me.lol

[@enesalkovicguitar]

i have fv215b heavy, 4202 and Death Star my clan hates me man because they need tanks like b-c and russiand meds but i dont like them i love gun depression, i will get leo1 in 1 month and i will be only guy with it in clan, and i know everybody will buy it when they see me in it

[@KingSNAFU]

same here, I'm on the vk 30.02d right now going for the Leopard 1. Then I might grind the T30, which I need to grind to the E4.

[@jamegumb7298]

I have those 3 plus the IS-7 and the 121. They hate them all except the IS-7. Am grinding for the Leopard as well. Should serve me well.

[@xKillerClownx]

lol, man, I know it's a minor detail, but you guys irk me calling it a "Mastery Badge" all 4 of them, 3rd class/2nd class/1st class/Ace Tanker, are mastery badges, what you guys should be calling it is "Ace Tanker Badge". :P

[@HirooKoslov]

The top speed is probably electronically limited, like a Merc C class AMG

[@Darwins_Fink]

you forgot mentioning the Leopard 1 when you compared the Tier 10 mediums

[@hoennnoodle]

suddenly recommended

[@sIightIybored]

It's just quickybaby in full Shatner mode.

[@QuickyBabyTV]

Haters going to hate - what they don't realise is that disliking the video actually helps me more than if they don't (but shhhh keep it a secret).

[@MistaLister]

It's because he doesn't have it yet. There are more Leopards ingame than there are FV4202's.

[@spongebozzhahaa5432]

my most fav med tank

[@danielwest5103]

Hey quickybaby I have a question for you, What is your opinion on wargamings nerf on the T26E4 frontal armor and then not putting in a new tier 8 prem for replacement. The T26E4 is my only tier 8 prem and i dont know what to do keep it or sell it.

[@ivorgabric4013]

I love FV4202 i on live server have centurion 1,i like fast tanks gj QB.

[@sagcrossroad]

Hey QB, why not do a review on Centurion Mk7 USING 105 CANNON and then compare these two tanks?

[@Dante1hits]

He hasn't got the Leo 1 yet. He's only got the Leopard Prototype. So I'm guessing he wants to wait on that till he has played enough to give a clear opinion on it, not just it's stats.

[@tallinvor]

you will be able to sell back for full gold price when update 8.8 comes out if you dont like it...

[@Fiodor0]

Would love to grind that tank, even that it sucks but I dont have the gold for premium.

[@Talonkarrde89]

Hi QB, new subscriber and loving your reviews. The one thing that really irks me though is your over-zealous editing, almost to the point of cutting yourself off as you transition into your next point. Have you ever considered recording your garage sections in a single cut rather than editing bits together? Feels super disjointed to me. Otherwise keep up the great work! :)

[@GermanYinzer]

The thing with "loading HE" is, that when you ge tto the rear of this tanks you switch to HE and when you are reloadedl, he has already turned his tank and put one shell into you :/

[@Quest723The]

Do you know how much work goes into capturing, editing, converting, and uploading a replay? FRAPS, for example, can produce a 4gb+ files. He has to capture, add commentary, then convert. Do you have any idea how long it takes to render a vid that large? And then upload it to KZbin? Try it yourself, you might start to understand how much work it is. That he manages at least one a week is astounding, especially with the amount of time he spends streaming and, you know, having a life.

[@matthorvath6475]

Isn't the point of HESH shells to not penetrate the armour of the hostile tank but to explode on contact and send spall (shrapnel) flying around the inside of the tank to kill everyone and damage vital equipment.

[@bvvkvnb]

yes, but WG can't figure out how to put that in game without being monstrously OP, so they just make it HE with high penetration values

[@leetf8522]

Not exactly, it send something like an EMP, damaging modules and using electricity to kill crew members, like a shockwave.

[@bvvkvnb]

more like causing a huge dent in the armor which causes spalling which are thin flakes of metal that sheer off the inside of the turret and fly around on the inside of the tank, absolutely shredding everyone. The idea of it being like an Electro Magnetic Pulse is absurd. The warhead is like a fluid when it hits armor it "splashes" to the armore (Squash Head) then it explodes causing spalling which is stated above

[@hohnline]

Why didnt you mention the leopard when talking about Tier X mediums? Is it not a viable option?

[@krco9716]

Just buy it today....ty for help review....

[@Nudhul]

i run 4 ap and 8 hesh on my 183 just for hard to pen targets like e100s and fochs.
