Watching this in 2017. holy hell this is a blast from the past! Tier five scouts, tier eight artillery.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Imagine driving a T29 with a broken engine and jammed turret traverse against IS-7s. That's what driving this thing with the 105mm gun is like.

[@The_MightyJingles]

I've made at least three. It's my most-played and most loved tank. Look back through the archives, you'll find a video or three. ;)

[@RatzBuddie]

Jingles was spot on about a lot of the tanks 'features.' You can bounce shots from a surprising number of tanks. However, regarding the speed: it is slow enough that you will come into the fight with most of the brawling done and be able to clean up kills. Until you get that engine and 120mm, you're a support. Once you get it, you can brawl with IS-3s and Tiger IIs

[@Hairysteed]

Going through the both american TD lines simultaneously helps a lot with this thing. When I elited the T25/2 instead of going straight for the T28 proto I started grinding the T25 AT I had bought earlier on discount. I just transferred all the modules from the T25/2 to the T25 AT. 170mm pen 90mm gun is quite playable at a tier 7 TD. Once I unlocked the 105mm gun I sold the T25 AT and started grinding the T28 Proto. The 105mm is workable at tier 8. After all it's the gun that the T32 gets.

[@EmperorNefarious1]

this tank has a special place in my heart, along with the T28 and T95, it is one of the few tanks that I have successfully given the circle of death to in my black prince.

[@MBG2000]

Hahaha good one mate!

[@JheredStern]

I am in the T30 now and loving it but I kept my T28 Prot. It is hands down one of the best TD's I have played so far. Hands down its a beast!

[@hemi57]

Holy crap! I don't think there is another World of Tanks review that covers so much information is such short order! Mr. Jingles got a bug up his cazoo!!! Strap yourselves in...... Love you Jingles!

[@The_MightyJingles]

1. Liked the T57 Heavy, I generally like the idea of tanks with autoloaders that have reduced ammo loads but load that ammo faster. 2. You need to be pointing your gun at the tank to see what's damaged. They may just not be damaged, or have used a repair kit.

[@The_MightyJingles]

It's as high as it will go. But getting a professional quality mic in a few weeks.

[@The_MightyJingles]

I would go for the Jagdpanther, but purely because it can actually move when it needs to. The T25AT leads to some of the slowest and heaviest machines in the game, but if you don't mind that, go for it. The T25AT is the last time you'll be driving a fast TD if you choose to go for it.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Oh I see it on the Ruinberg game, no clue how it got there. Must be one of the old mods I used.

[@s4n714g000]

Ok thanks, now i can install the mod :D I notice you answer most (if not all) comments even in old videos. Sir I´ve started watching your videos recently and I already feel better than with most subscriptions I have, you´ve earned yourself a sub.

[@The_Punchline_]

Wow! Thank god you got this review over. I'm currently grinding through this tank right now, its not fun in all honesty. I've come to appreciate its armor though, one game when i was on the top bounced 24 shots from front. Its amazing people dont know how to kill this thing

[@Strewgle]

[@KyleLi]

I fucking love it, its one of the only few tanks that can reliably play well when your team is shit.

[@HanoverFiste1965]

Good assessment of the T-28 Prototype. I've not seen this video before and just came across it as I'm about to move on to the T-30. So although this vid doesn't let me know what I'm in for it does let me know how far The Mighty Jingles has come in his commentary style. Good progress, Jingles!

[@DougieFresh]

2021 and his old tank reviews are still good

[@The_MightyJingles]

I think the main problem with assault mode is that it relies too much on teamwork and coordination in random matches where finding 14 other players who can breathe and think at the same time is tough at the best of times.

[@V4zz33]

That first 49 sec changed my life Jingles! I know my fault, but I'm only checking things in the patch notes about German tanks nerfs. If there is none, or not affects any of the tanks that I'm playing then I'm happy.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Oh it shouldn't take long, I retrained the crew for it today, can start playing it now.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Not played my Marder yet. Not looking forward to it, I'm afraid to try in case they finally managed to ruin it.

[@The_MightyJingles]

It never works in a replay, live games only for some reason.

[@BattleManiac7]

I am liking this tank (once i got the 105mm with free exp, that crap 90mm from the T25/2 will not cut it at tier 8), the speed I'm used to since I have been through the churchills and the black prince and the mighty TOG II*, cannot wait for the 120mm.

[@The_MightyJingles]

It needs it, can't angle the hull the same way you can and should with the Prototype, so brute armour thickness it is!

[@LucasStrandell]

I look forward to vids like this from you; they're always so enjoyable to watch. :]

[@The_MightyJingles]

Top left? That's my fps. Top right is the battle timer, that's always been there.

[@The_MightyJingles]

I just played my Marder at last. Two games. I had to play again after the first one in case I'd experienced a brain embolism while playing it the first time around and not noticed. But no, temporary loss of all muscle control wasn't to blame for how incredibly shit my first post-8.0 Marder game was. The Marder really is just that shit now.

[@deadpan237]

jingles i'm sure someone's beaten me to the punch already but you can unlock the 105mm t5e1 gun on the t25 AT as well if you're doing both lines. should make the future grinds a lot more bearable.

[@The_MightyJingles]

It's an oldish pc but it was good when I got it. 3.01Ghz CPU, GTX480 graphics and 12GB DDR3 RAM.

[@fairygoodmuller8065]

wow. 4 whole years ago!

[@santtuthemann]

Good to hear your IS-7 review is coming soon! But you should do some T-50 videos, it's so agile, that it can drift and do U-turns (thanks to physics) :D

[@deadpan237]

yeah it's tricky to make lots of money in but definitely doable. judicious use of HE helps since they are almost half the cost and you can usually find enough thin-skinned targets with the MM it gets. one-shotting Hellcats never gets old. i'm actually considering getting Intuition for my loader since i switch ammo types so often in it. never tried the ELC. i was already halfway to the 13 90 when it got introduced so i never bothered to go back to it. i might though, seems very popular.

[@The_MightyJingles]

And that's why everyone complains about the tier 7 tanks' gun on the tier 8 T32

[@D0youknowWhoIam]

Damn it jingles, a 53 min video and it's past midnight. I have to get up for college tomorrow but how can I not watch.

[@MadmanDKDK]

Word of advice, playing in 16:10 aspect ratio, gives you about 50-100meters of view range, not the stat but how far the PC renders, it also gives a minor zoom effect making that shot a wee bit extra precise.

[@Phobophage901]

I think as far as the game modes go, the leader or the platoon/company has to have the desired game modes marked because it'll run it from them, or so it seems from the little platooning that I do. Also, two questions: 1) What do you think of the T57 Heavy line, and 2) Why does my commanders ability that sees what is broken on another tank (forgot the skill name) not work a lot of the time? It rarely kicks in and I was wondering if you had an idea why.

[@flak714]

Hey jingles, I've been playing the prototype for a while now and find its best to hit the turret from the front as it starts to curve, not the flat area next to the mantle

[@The_MightyJingles]

Damn straight, Sarge!

[@nathanmack1234]

[@Ken2234]

type fail

[@grimjugger]

I never play new tanks till they are fully kitted out, im shitty enough without having to worry bout having crap modules to boot. nice vid cuz t28 proto vids seems to be a bit lacking on utube along with STI. cheerz man

[@schmidtr75]

yeah, gotta love players who think Arty was nerfed and play stupidly accordingly....Arty is still very dangerous (just less likely so). GJ on the 3 TG's.

[@soundslave]

I recommend getting the T25AT first and unlocking the 105mm gun on that before buying a T28 Prototype. The T25AT is a great tier 7 TD, much more enjoyable than grinding the T28Proto with the stock 90mm.

[@Operation-InnerGravity]

Yayy! Prototype Best Tier 8 tank destroyer. I've played over 1500 games in mine

[@bht22582]

Your videos on the t28 have tuned up my skill with them. I'm surging longer and by default doing more damage

[@Jimbotheone]

When you drive the T28 prot. the greatest thing is when you encounter poor players who goes for "shoot at the big flat front hull". You can bully so many heavies in this thing, and I love it. In my hands this tank is better than the T30, it has a reliable gun and good front armor. The speed doesn't bother me anymore, as it gives me more time to think out my moves and I can predict the fighting in one area and avoid going there if the team is winning that fight. The T30 has nightmarish gun. While the alpha damage is nice and all, combination of the armor, the accuracy and the reload time makes it such a let down. Also with the high alpha comes great RNG. The gun can do anything between 600-900 damage, which isnt great when you have to kill something on ~700hp. In short it's anything but reliable.

[@sirzenon9815]

You and QuickyBaby are the two best w.o.t youtubers. You deserve more subs than you have. :D

[@The-Dom]

How did you get the 120mm in 28 games?

[@massacretemple8325]

Free xp

[@patrickmcgann2673]

Amadis Demitrius Or go down the turretless line first like I did. You have every single module pre-unlocked except for the max tracks.

[@jinksterjoe]

Jingles great vid. Another one of those whats that tank question. Today i came across an A32 it was too fast so i couldnt tell if it was russian or not, but any clue to what it is?

[@jesse68569]

That cannon on the t28 prot. is scary as hell. Mega big , i dont want to get hit by that thing

[@Russia1117]

t28 prot. isn't that scary, you have to be scared of ISU-152

[@jesse68569]

yes i am! :C

[@warrenhollidge5627]

Russia1117 hell yes

[@robbleeker4777]

Proto is my fav tank to play with, where is the bloody health indicator?

[@dasParox97]

"artillery loves shooting this thing" good thing I have nothing to worry about in 8.6!

[@The_MightyJingles]

Because it's the gun you first get on the Tier 7 T29.

[@jps69olds]

great another slow tank im heading towards.. i have the t4 uk matilda and that is slow. so is this tank slower or same then the matilda?

[@soundslave]

In the case of the Pz4, it had a tier 5 TD gun, on a tier 5 medium. A nerf was coming and everyone knew it. It was my faveourite teir 5 medium, but I felt cheesy using it.

[@MrTaliaivo]

good video, it gave me good tips. now i cant wait to get my T28 prot. !!!

[@eskon12345]

Asfar i can remember, you can mount the 120mm gun with stock tracks But i sold the tank like a year ago tho, so things might been changed

[@fretpuke]

The pain in your voice when you describe the speed of this thing lolol :D

[@The_MightyJingles]

It would, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for it to happen. :p

[@rodrigonewow]

Jingles,this is an old video i know. but what are your thoughts on the T28 ? im having my worst grind in that thing. even with the 105 which is not the stock.it just seems like tactically,im a waste of a tank,since i cant help but,maybe sniper at defense,or rush a road in city maps...

[@Self-replicating_whatnot]

Did you know - you can get ammoracked it this thing if someone hit decorative machine gun on top of the turret with HE round. Splash from HE cuts inside the turret from the top - where is no armor - and blows you to bits.

[@mrv321sc]

I was thinking one of the main problem with assault mode is the tanks you can be attackers and have 6 TD's. A good way to improve assault would forcing the attackers and defenders have different tank type. The attackers have 3 Arty, defenders 1. Attackers 0 TD, Defenders 6 etc. What do you think?

[@MatriumCauthon]

Jingles, it appears that you have several replays of the T28 Prototype but none of the T28, any chance of doing a comparison of the two? I have played both and find them to be incredibly different, but seeing your take could be fun.

[@s4n714g000]

yeah if youre gonna switch shells intuition is very good. ELC became my 2nd favorite tank after T49 just because i played T49 first. I strongly recommend you try it out, it is a lot of fun, getting the top gun takes some time but when you get it just makes all the work worth it. :D

[@crocblanc1989]

24:43 lol that lowe has his turret jammed XD

[@AgentTasmania]

I once spotted a T28P on nearly full health rolling down the pond valley on Mountain Pass in my T43. Completely ignored me as I put 8-for-8 rounds into them and killed them. Either they thought they could tank it for how far they needed to go, or they thought turning around would be pointless.

[@rangakid1]

Watching this makes me so glad I already had the T95 maxed before I evens tarted down the turreted American TD line. Screw using that thing with the 90mm gun, it wasn't even good enough at tier 7.

[@ItsUbi]

Jingles you had me at Howdy Folks

[@Royquah]

Skip to 4:20 for the actual review

[@semperfi2014mn]

Im amazed on how the graphics were improved, 80-100 fps from the patch before, now its 121-roughly 155fps :P

[@danielhudson2979]

You're right. The worst grinding experience EVER. But that 120mm is pretty sweet. Worth it.

[@timlawson3125]

I personally run the gun rammer, spall liner and camo net. Reason for these are spall liner helps protect your tank from those HE rounds that love your open turret. Also your so slow your at the BACK of the line so your team mates are lighting your targets for you at least most of the time.

[@deadpan237]

ah good to know, thanks. i really only considered it since it was on sale but i'm not much of a german tank fan so i ended up getting an su-122-44 instead (great td btw). but yeah i feel you about boring premiums, they just end up collecting dust in your garage like my lend-lease matilda.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Not played it since 8.0 went live, worried they finally managed to nerf it into oblivion. :(

[@Harrison223]

Agreed, I love the SU-122-44 as well!

[@cesaramezquita1317]

T28 proto one of my favorites... its a good anti noob tank cause you can't rush and its also good armor and can face heavy tanks and win once you get the 120mm gun.

[@jamcamvid]

What do you personally believe is better, the ISU-152, or the T28 Prototype? I only own the ISU, and I personally believe it's better, but I might be biased to the BL-10 :)

[@0Hect0r0]

one fast question ppl say get the US TDs with out turret is better but i went for slugger then i will go for hellcat aim for t28prototype and from it i can get t28 and then i can get both TD tier X with turret and with out turret >> what u think about this... or u think i should ignore the US TDs with turret some ppl say they are bad but i don't think they are bad

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

I played 1 round in this tank stock and free xp'd my way to the better gun before touching it again. Didn't help that I was in a match with tier 9s and 10s so I might as well have been afk all round and done just as 'well'. Pretty fun once it gets the better guns though.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Entirely possible. The charming youngsters around here like to gather for philosophical discussions and to see who can shout "FUCK" the loudest at the most awkward times.

[@sebas379]

I was dubbing which line to grind out first, the T25/2 or my M6. In that case, it's heavy tank time.

[@Helllllerrrrrrrrrrr]

My god the t-28 prototype is a monster ! And with the 120mm gun. Smh. Don't care how slow it is, its a monster tank. I bet arty is this tanks mortal enemy because of the open top though

[@Vito-lq9ve]

+thatbattlefield dude by mosnter is that bad or good?

[@カラスKarasu]

I liked it. The gun is great(I probably liked it tanks to the gun) but the armor only bounces if you angle it around a corner

[@dozergames2395]

b brady no kv4 and is3 give it problems

[@SecularFelinist]

This has been killing me. I've wanted one of these since the first time I saw somebody else driving it. I finally managed to get past the craptacular T25/2 and scrounged up the creds to buy this. But grinding out the 120mm is just killing me. This thing _hemorrhages credits_. I'm not too proud to say I'm a thoroughly average player, but even when I do managed to get a kill or two with a liberal smattering of 1000-1500 damage _and_ survive, I'm still going to be 9k in the hole. Even with the free premium time I got from the July 4th event, I was still losing credits. I cringe at the thought of how much a T9 might cost me per battle.

[@dogman9657]

sunac tier 9s dont cost two much. Just dont fire gold and do decent. I made around 30 take home no premium of my conquer. I did do 6k damage though. If you can average 3k in your tier 9 and bounce some shots you will either break even or loose a little or make a little. firing gold shells though and you will loose like 50k in one match.

[@USSWISCONSIN64]

sunac T25/2 is better if you play it like a support tank.

[@ColeF4]

I'm now grinding through the T25/2 and I am getting tired of playing it, would it be smart to use free xp to get the T28 Prot or save the free xp to upgrade the Prot?

[@Phobophage901]

Well I am pointing at em (I'm not great, but not that bad), and I know they are damaged, because I personally just tracked em, but it won't pop it up onscreen...not sure what the issue might be.

[@truelazerlight]

Hearing you say "You can't fit improved ventilation because it's an open topped vehicle" got me thinking ... Wouldn't it make sense that open topped vehicles got +5% crew skills by default?

[@iwindsofmidgets8429]

i didnt think the grind was that bad, it took me about 12 games to get the 105mm, wasnt bad at all

[@KyleLi]

If your team is a medium wolfpack, youre screwed. I've had dozens of games in this machine where I've done 0 damage, having just held W for the entire round and fired 0 shots because the team was so good. On those amazing games where your team is pretty meh, or if you manage to somehow flank the enemies rear - you can easily do more than 3-4k damage while taking no damage from anything from arty if you just park 45 degrees perpendicular to a corner. My personal record is 7k+ damage in a tier 10 game.

[@ramblingguy1912]

You might be screwed but not the mighty jingles tyvm

Just started using this TD unlocked the T28 didn't like it so tried the T28P I am enjoying it but I seem to take damage from heat shells no matter what angle my front armour is. Looking forward to getting a type 62 for the second anaversery sale. I like having tanks that people can't get lol
