World of Tanks - The Beast

[@Luxuriaa176]

Shana here, this was coincidentally my 25000th battle and it was a banger of a game along with a proper support TD once in a blue moon (I love that T103 for playing the way they did). Thanks as always for your lovely commentary Jingles and I wish you a great week as with everyone else!

[@Pincer88]

Where's the time when German TV had these great spaghetti westerns on, with Terence Hill & Bud Spencer? As a boy in my early teens I used to think that "Nuten" were deputy sherriffs, since one common sentence was : "Oh nein, da kommt der Sherrif mit seinen Nuten." Well, my German teacher in high school here in the Netherlands laughed his socks off reading an essay of mine, proclaiming that certainly was a way to look at things. He consequently referred me to the song "Skandal um Rosie" by the Spider Murphy Gang and asked me what deputy sherrifs were doing in the Red Light District in München in that song. That's how the true meaning of the term "Aha Erlebnis" has kept with me until now. Herzliche Grüße aus den NIederlanden von einem Sumpf Germaner. 😁

O, Evil Overlord! Ye have made a blunder! The lower glacis on this tank is effectively about 210mm thick, allowing for most tier VIIIs to penetrate it even with regular ammo. Also, our hero didn't do 500 damage with that ram, T-103 hit the Guard right at the same time and made it look so.

[@KhaelaMenshaK]

LOL. That's the only two blunders? First of all, saying that it's a Maus turret on top of the VK45B... Nah. More like Maus on E100. Then he kept comparing the 128mm gun to a fricking TD instead of any of the other SIX!!! German heavy tanks at tiers IX and X that can also use 128mm guns. Says TM has .37 accuracy, when it's actually .35. Not bad for a heavy, yes? Also yes, lower damage than Jagdtiger, but higher damage than an actual Maus. Also faster reload than on the E75. I mean... he's comparing apples to oranges here. Thinks the pen on the BZ was unexpected, when usually he loves to show off his knowledge of overmatching mechanics. This would have been a GREAT moment, as everybody who played the game in the past year knows that BZ roof can be overmatched by 128mm guns VERY nicely. And that's where I stopped watching. I still do enjoy the WoWS videos, because I don't play that myself and have no idea how much of what he says in those is a "blunder". But as someone who's got a little bit of an idea what's going on in WoT, it's just not fun to watch those vids any more :(

Maybe if wargaming didn't sell out the playerbase on some German heavy with "no frontal weakspots" we wouldn't have this problem.

[@Wallda_25]

For anyone wondering or interested: The lightly-armored-TDs-in-cityfights-with-heavys-thing is a good idea IF you choose to be patient and an oppurtunist. Basically you take big DMG GUN and add it to a heavy you wanna support. You wait for the heavys to exchange fire and then you put your gun to use. You basically are a deterent for the enemys to push and a support for the Heavys (If push comes to shove even your little HP pool can go a long way) . It can work. But you need patience. If you are impatient like the conway you die first minute. It seems to me the enemy Borsig seems to have the thing figured out.

09:41 No he didnt Jingles. The 499 damge was tracking damage from the T-103. The ramming damage was 24 points as shown by the game 1 sek after the tracking damage was listed.

[@joelmccloskey4009]

Jingles love the channel I have been watching since the first good the bad and the ugly.

[@kuhluhOG]

Actually Jingles, the Tiger Maus doesn't have the Maus turret. The sides of the turret of the Tiger Maus aren't flat, the ones of the Maus are which makes the Maus considerably better at angling the turret than the Tiger Maus. Additionally, the sides of the turret of the Tiger Maus are only 150mm while the Maus has 210mm which, again, gives it quite a leg up (like it, should, it's a tier higher after all). On the other hand, the front of the turret of the Tiger Maus has 300mm of armour while the Maus has only 260mm on the turret front.

Gold ammo is why I stopped playing this game even when I still had cable net connection. In my opinion it is not a free to play game when you have to pay money for special ammo to be competitive.

GG well done to Shana. I’m a tier 5/6 player looking forward to the Ferdinand. I love watching higher tier matches to glean some knowledge off the higher tier players. This was a banger. Also I have to say, Jingles you are probably 50% of why I play wot. The commentary and perspective of your videos vibe with my brainwaves. I wanted to say I’m not a fan of the gold ammunition meta either. It seems a transparent money grab. However, I don’t think a tank like this has to be justification for feeding the gold ammunition meta trend. We have been trained by game mechanics to angle the front towards the enemy and fight with our faces but what if a mobile heavy with an average power gun gets around the rear? In other words, fight like a light tank, or a medium fighting a heavyweight. I’m not saying wargaming is not wrong for engineering the gold ammunition money grab. But I do welcome strategic challenges and embrace adaptability. This game, aside from the gold grab, is a much better experience for me than it was in the early days. I’m really enjoying the game these days. Good hunting.

Tiger-Maus has several frontal weakspots, such as a huge weak lower plate and a small weak cuppola (but the tank is tall, so you need to keep some distance to see it). Also side armor is kinda bad. Also just like years ago, flanking is still something that is possible in WoT against big slow heavy tanks. So, no, easy ammo is not mandatory to fight this tank.

[@ainumahtar]

Side armor is not a frontal weakspot

[@sylvercloud6631]

@@ainumahtar Yes and no. I never said it was one, I gave other examples. However side armor is still an important factor in frontal engagements because it can be exploited to damage tanks without going as far as flanking. For instance it's the biggest weakness of the Kranvagn (thin side armor which you can overmatch with most heavy tank guns). If the Tiger Maus overangles just a little, which you tend to do to hide your lower plate, the tip of the side armor becomes a weakness.

[@ainumahtar]

@@sylvercloud6631 Sure, but it's an argument on the level of "countering" CV in wows with "just dodge, lol". There's lots of lane maps where you can't just flank someone aside from going half way around the map, during which time your team will probably already have lost the game because you weren't contributing but relocating. It's an almost pointless argument, because yes, you can "just" shoot these (nearly) weakpointless tanks in the side, but they are designed to almost force you to hit the skill key, wg have been doing this since they released the Japanese heavies.

[@sylvercloud6631]

@@ainumahtar I'll be harsh, but really this is just a skill issue, and that's coming from a player who never fired gold ammo. If you are sitting in front of a tank you can't damage but can damage you, then you are doing something really wrong. Use your brain. Find other things to fight and you can deal with it later when it's alone. Find ways to flank, it's sometimes possible. Or maybe play more aggressively to get close on its side, these tanks are usually not manoeuverable. Or maybe pull back and bait the tank into pushing into a crossfire you set with allies, I've handled some Obj279 and Obj 268 4 this way already (because they often are overconfident). And if they don't push then it means that they are not even doing anything and you can relocate. So please stop believing all tanks are meant to be handled by sitting in front of them and be more creative/strategic. And again, I don't even know what you are complaining about considering that the Tiger Maus has several frontal weakspots exploitable with standard ammo...

[@ainumahtar]

@@sylvercloud6631 As I said, the entire "just flank" argument is just the same as "git gud lol" or "just dodge". It is pointless and hollow, it means nothing, and adds nothing to the argument versus high armor frontal tanks with barely a weakspot to speak of. I know what you're saying, and I don't run into this problem as I don't play wot anymore anyway, and when I did I mained LT, so flanking was my jam, it's just that on some maps you kinda can't get around facing some tanks frontally, because some slab of steel tanks will cut off the one or two lanes on the sides and the middle is a crossfire, which is what the maps and tanks were designed for: to get you to press that 2 key and spend, spend spend.

[@Wolfogre]

300mm is no armour at all since everyone does indeed use gold ammo and 128mm hasn't been a viable calibre since Tier VIII or so. But it is a very pretty tank and I wish I had it for aesthetic reasons.

This tank illustrates one of the problems that wargaming has created specifically to sell gold ammo. 10 years ago in world of tanks, literally every vehicle had weak points modeled on the front of the tank which you could bust through with good aim and game knowledge. Wargaming has long since removed pretty much every frontal weakspot from every tank in this game, meaning that you are forced to use gold to penetrate anything frontally.

Not having frontal weak spots should not be a bad thing for the game. Flank around and hit the sides. Gold ammo doesn't need to exist in the way it currently (and has previously) exists. It should not be a reliable "your frontal armor doesn't matter I can now fight tanks frontally despite them being two tiers higher than me" The biggest problem in WoT, and the reason gold is the way it is (that is to say a frontal armor counter instead of a slight edge or just a round with different performance properties) is because the the SPEED of tanks in the game. Too many heavily armored tanks (frontally) now exist that are able to turn very quick and have decent top speeds meaning you can't just outmaneuver many of the biggest holders of the "op heavy with high alpha gun" titles. This makes traditional heavy (and super heavy) tanks suffer disproportionally when faced with gold spam, their armor is great against standard rounds basically impenetrable, but hit that 2 key and if it is HEAT premium instead of APCR premium, well good luck with that "just angle" advice, there is a reason that is meme advice.

the biggest fault with "gold ammo" is that it just makes players not think about strategy they just sit in front of each other and fire away round after round until one of them is dead....boring there is something special when one manages to outflank the enemy and force them to try and prevent you from just hitting their weak side/rear armor repeatedly which is why low tier is always more fun then high tier... lots more shenanigans and unexpected play

Does anyone know every weak spot on every tank now? I mean it's not like back when I played and there were maybe 15 lines anymore not to mention premium and special tank spam.

actually Jingles, he only did 24 ramming damage

No frontal weakspots??? The lower plate is absolute trash. The effective thickness when shooting head on is not 300 but between 200-210. So pretty much every tier 8 can pen it with standard ammo... And though it looks a bit like a Maus turret, it just isn't. The whole shape is completely different :) The sides of the Maus turret are completely straight. This looks more like a hybrid between a Tiger 2 and a Maus turret. And as others were pointing out: The ram did only 24 damage.... Oooh Jingles, never change! :D

Another not even blueprint tank. A 2000s fan boy design
