It's easy to explain that feeling that once you play it, you get penned, once you shoot at it, you bounce. Those shots at the cupola were really poor and in haste. FV215B was the iconic first tier 10 British heavy; it has its own personality.

[@NotWlzzyyyyy]

[@punkodie]

I believe, it is only unicums who can make this tank work. The skill cap is veeeery high, but it has been my favorite tank since the get go, was my first Tier X, and I could never actually make the SConq work better than this one. I'm happy finally someone is showing the world that this tank is actually one of the best heavies - even if it is not necessarily a true heavy.

[@orhanozkan7358]

the Fv215b is actually surprisingly good. The really only thing holding it back is the fact it seems to get set of fire/ammo racked every other shot, but assuming you can work around it, its actually very strong

[@Dakillzor]

Exp hp helps a lot in these cases

[@Souliset]

@@Dakillzor wouldn't surprise me tbh. I think I 3 marked it Nov of 2022? So I probably didn't even have exp hp but I was pretty impressed with how decent it handled. Tbh I only even tried it because it had super low reqs for 3rd mark and I was always told it sucked but it was actually pretty fun

[@shark_de_mique]

I love 215b, how it looks, how it feels, it is a tank from good old times, when almost every top tier tank felt unique with its' pros and cons. It felt so much different from is-7, e5, maus. When they introduced an sconq it was (and still is, now the dpm is lower as well) an e5 that was slower but overall better in every other aspect except for a shell type and a lower plate

[@magnusoptimus2052]

I dream about having the ping you have. Because I am in the Hinterlands of America, I am roughly 4k+ miles from the NA Server....with pings that bounce between 120-160. I miss A LOT. My 'aim', gets bad often. By the time I shoot they have moved. Which is why such a great game gets limited play anymore because so many changes just make that lag play out worse results in game. I still learn so much Daki. Thank you for the content and insights.

[@vladingue8503]

Now I want to see you playing the E5. Bought it last christmas and jesus this tank is such a good combination of the thing : very good gun, decent mobility, good armor (lower plate can be so trollish) with good turret and a cupola that can be used to bait people. I just see this tank as a renegade at tier 10 with more armor and better gun.

[@megtvedt6120]

I 3 marked this tank...I still would put it in barely playable, the gun is good, and you have hp, but for me at least the frontal fires made it very frustrating to play...made it hard to make good trades

[@MarkoMakela-kk7qf]

Yeah I agree, that apart from the 'burning' and why I use the 'enhanced ' equ on this tank is quite vital. But the gun is likea dream came true. You Daki use full gold, but I would never go this far as some targets are just fine with the AP or even with the HESH sometimes. Full APCR is an overkill... In Grand Battles or otherwise full T10 games, you may need those APCR ammo, but when shooting at a wheelchair or an arta, the best option is HE. And funnyly enough, sometimes AP shells will penetrate in situations where APCR or HEAT won't work. But that is about the angles and spaced armor and all that ****.

[@VaLuN3007]

I believe the FV215b was my first tier 10 tank, and after hearing a lot of people complaining about how bad it is and how this one packs the lowest WRs (approx 45%) I decided to make it work, first battle 5.4k damage and it was my record I still love to come back to this tank when I feel like having fun

[@fullmoonkiller8218]

To be fair, the FV it's a good tank if u are a good player, cause you don't need to suffer to discover how the tank perform in the actual meta. I remember marking the tank in 120 battles, and then just playing it for fun, the gun is godlike if u know how to aim (even when is trolling you), but i think most people doesn't perform good because they get use it to the actual meta, when a lot of tanks has big caliber guns, strong turrets, tiny cupolas, high pen and a big etc. And when you have to use the FV you're facing a lot of this stuff and you have to think when to move, when trade hp and even HOW you will trade Hp, cause it's really easy catch fire or get ammoracked, to be fair it's kinda anoying for a lot of people who doesn't want to play like the very old meta in this game, if u have a tank who made the same stuff like the FV but it's much easier to play, they'll take that option, just because it's more fun and easy to play. If i have to think about the FV nowadays, i'll say it's a good tank that has a high skill gap, some people will enjoy it (just because the tank is old and ist's fun use the brain) and other people will hate it cause you have to learn how to use it in a proper way.

[@SupremeMasterr]

Its good to see youtube content. I am not a stream person, you speak and give more personality to the videos..

[@aa1944-k2r]

I dont have this tank, but I remember when this was the top of tree for UK, it was good, now it is rarely seen. To me this tank is "similar" to the 113, because of the high rate of fire, good DPM and is best played sidescrapping. of course there is some difference, FV is much slower plus the better handling gun, makes it feels better. 113 gun is not bad, but the tank is fast so handling might feel not as good as mid range. FV should have better armor, 113 not as good rely more on angle, but is faster. I used to love the 113 back then, haven't played it since 7 8 years ago and i dont even have it anymore. i afraid i would be disappointed with its latest form.

[@JWil97]

Gun wise 113 is not even on the same planet as 215b. The 113 still however have good enough gun handling, along with much better armor and mobility

[@aa1944-k2r]

@@JWil97 yea, the only similar thing is the relatively high DPM and ROF, 113 also higher alpha. not sure the 113 has better armor tho, a lot of that rely on your speed and "hope" that they miss your lower plate, the hatches on turret are quite big, side has no magic unlike IS7.

[@JWil97]

@@aa1944-k2r 113 definitely has better armor than fv, much better. Better upper plate, much better turret, lower profile (more compact armor layout), and even though it doesnt have is7-level of side armor, it's still way better than fv's side. Fv is autopen for anything above 300mm apcr, 113 is not

[@greener2497]

I got this tank for one sole reason that it look so cool, turn out it was a great choice. It's the only tank that i 3 marked in just over 100 games, with exp hardening fire rarely happen. Great gun & great agility makes it a lot more fun to play than sconq hulldown gameplay

[@choosumfat]

I ended my WoT career some years ago but I always loved the FV215B. Yea, the gun made up for most if not all the shortcomings. Good stuff.

[@JohnDoe-xl1ig]

I believe FV's 120MM gun's the highlight of the tank, but I also believe my S Conq has the same gun. I would like to try this FV tank but not for 12,000 bonds.

[@patatacaliente8270]

I absolutely stick to my guns regarding the FV215B. Sure, an absolute top-notch player like Daki can have lots of great games in it, but most people (me certainly included) rarely get to realize the potential of the admittedly great gun when the rest is a heavy with mostly non-existant armour. So, I totally disagree with Daki on this one, and to be fair, this isn't the only one I did not agree with from his list. Frankly, there are several lists like that from various streamers, but I have never disagreed with one of them as much as I have disagreed with Daki's. To be fair, he made it clear that it was his personal list, but I still feel he has been up there too long too realize that what works great for him does not necessarily work well for us regular Joes. Btw, I find the Caps Lock "the TRUTH" rhetoric in the title a bit immature. No offence.

[@Iksta]

To be fair, he did mention later in the video, that its not a tank for average or below average players, since they will hardly ever be able to maximise the gun potential which is more or less the only great thing about the tank.

[@patatacaliente8270]

@@Iksta Fair point.

[@Balc0ra]

The FV has one of the best guns on a tier X HT. It was true a decade ago, it's true today. But... It has some drawbacks, but not so much that it's as terrible as many want it to be

[@cinatiropel]

Best Daki content. Pure uncut Daki. So raw, so real.

[@ardayazar5705]

FV in lesta version feels actually quite nice. Damage is buffed to 440 instead of 400 and it pretty much compensate minor negatives for me, but as its stands now, I would rather do 400 in sconq than in FV.

[@torttu9075]

Low ammo amount as well! I remember running out of ammo so much whilst playing this beast

[@gideonandrasi]

I personally like the tank but I also can't get it to work. I know the thing that holds me back is the side scraping skill cap but knowing that and executing it are completely different things. And honestly given your track record and skill level no one should expect the same strengths and performance you ranked the list at. You are able to play regardless of the weaknesses. Though I'd be curious what tanks that are too hopeless for you to get a decent game from.

Daki, if you don't mind a suggestion.... You're a great player but there are a number of great players posting game videos. What I would LOVE to see from you is some competitive team games with your comments regarding the calls you are making and the various triggers. I watched you play many times with Fame but now that you are kinder and gentler CC, we don't get the Daki micro managing 15 tanks at a time in battle, even with the screaming. No one can do what you do, I'm not sure you can explain it all but can you try? I'd sub in a heartbeat as would every caller playing WOT today.

In business, you find something you're the best at and monetize it. Just a thought....

@@Dakillzor Let me be more specific: weekly video idea - "Guest Caller" with Daki. Once per week you do a guest call with a different clan for an Advance. Pick clans with different skill levels so you have different levels of complexity, tank comp and maps. Talk through decision trees as information changes, you do this automatically but try to explain it. This would be unique content created by the best. Subs would skyrocket!

[@guvyygvuhh298]

There are quite a few enjoyable tanks that are hard to play at t10, 215b and e5 are deffo 2 of them. Both have very clear strengths (gun, dpm and rather nice mobility) but their armor is full of weakspots. 50b is an even more extreme case

[@martinmariasonneborn4480]

Another fine example of how difficult it seems for certain players to accept that there is no one-size-fits-all in WoT. And Daki is not alone with his verdict regarding FV: Mailand also had a very positive review some years ago. So suck it up, doubters. There's a zillion ways to play the game. Maybe it is also your individual skill and preference which keep you from playing well with a specific tank.

[@HorsTeets]

commenting so yt recommends this to more people so Daki continues to make more videos

[@Iksta]

smart lad

[@MarkoMakela-kk7qf]

And by the way: I would choose FV215b any day of the week instead of the Super Conqueror. Ut can't even side scrape like this FV215b. Yes the turret is a bit better and the upper hull, but the FV215b is like a damage dealer medium tank what comes to its' gun handling. The shots go where you aimed them and as you already have one of the best or even tehe best DPM on any T10 heavy tank, you just rio aoart your opponets no matter what tank it is. I just recently on Murovanka map end up facing this notorious FV4201 Chieftain and I killed him just because of my rate of fire... he surely penned me, but I had my hit points and even greater DPM... Fv is not a 'Front line'-heavy, but in city-maps where there is not so much room for a flanking, it is just devastating... I mean there is a big difference on if you are aiming for a cupola or an other weakspot and actually hitting it. I have in my FV215b 3756 DPM which is quite allright.. I would say :)

FV 215B needs a buff to be honest for my suggestion Needed Ammunition buff from 35 to 48 Damage from 400 to 420 Mobility from forward 34 to 39/ Reverse 12 to 16 Engine power 950 to 1000 Gun accuracy/ aim time keeps the same

[@Dakillzor]
