My favourite WoT youtuber when playing this tank: brain-dead enemies, excellent setup, doesn't get arty focused. Me when I play this tank: get penned by gold-exclusively-using enemies, focused by arty, shot everywhere because it's huge.
I have played this tank alot and I do ok with it. It is way out of the meta, the armor is garbage and its not quick, but the gun shoots fast and has decent pen. I pay it like a support tank, like a medium backing up the heavies, or hull down it I can find a spot. But there has been too much power creep in this game and the recent tier 8 premiums made it worse.
I still enjoy it from time to time but objectively speaking, there is no point in getting this thing now. It has to fight insane monsters like the skoda t56, the new BZ, autoloaders and all the other tanks that basically 2 shot you at tier 8. Talk about WG promoting the power creep in the game...
That first game in the end! Thats how I felt 2 days ago. 3rd battle after nearly 2 years of break and got 7k dmg, 10 Kills and got the last kill with my last shell in Charioteer. Went up from 86% to 90% MoE, lol.
Many of the 240 damage tanks at tier 8 are obsolete, fv4202 etc, many of the new premium tier 8’s are all 300+ don’t know where it started but tl1-lpc has 280 and they have just increased in alpha
The problem with the FV is that it doesn't even have the reload, most of the T8 with 230 alpha reload for 4 sec, thus one however reloads for 7, just like the British meds, low rate of fire, abysmal dpm, and you look like a joke compared with other *standard* tanks, I'm not even talking about the premiums, and it pains me cuz it's like my favorite tank. I want to love these two tanks, it's just so hard to, I really wish WG give them some love in the future and butchered the BZ
Same with the FV, I even somehow manage to make the armor on my tank work, but lately cuz of some in-game issues the game is unplayable and I just can't do anything
When i got this like 2 years ago I already felt like it was obsolete. Sold it after 5 battles for some credits and never recovered it since. No armor, too slow to get into position, no penetration especially against t9/10 matchmaking and poor damage per shot
My disagreement is the wording, its not obsolete its "out of meta". I say this cuz many, many tanks are not meta but you can still have fun playing them and do well occasionally. In my 9 years playing WoT so many tanks have been "king" only to be dethroned by new tank or line and of course the OP prem tanks as well...lol
Alpha is king. Low alpha and high dpm just means you need to peek more often and expose your tank to enemy guns more often. The burst damage nowdays is so enormous that dpm reliant tanks have a really hard time. Tanks like rene are in the sweet spot. Dpm and enogh punch to trade with most tanks. To think that tanks like t56 skoda and bz are same tier heavys as this turd...
Buuuut... if you miss for 400 and reload 12 sec, you get 0 dmg. But if you miss for 240 and reload for 6 sec, then hit, you still get 240 in the same time. It's all about the second chance :) Although I'd really like to have my CDC buffed to at least 300 alpha...
Having a place where you don't have to worry about politics is one of the reasons why i like coming here. It also doesn't hurt that my game has improved since i started watching.
The Caern AX is garbage, it HAS preferred match making but when it faces T9/10 it's like a bad medium, fast gun good accuracy but no pen and low alpha if you do, and at T8/10 the armor is garbage
I use to absolutely love this tank back in the day. It wasn’t the best back then but you could compete with it. Now a days there are just so ,any great tanks that this has unfortunately became irrelevant.
Mad I watched skill a few times back in day and thought nahh I don't like this content... Just takes abit of getting used to but his content is awesome and epic tanks player
Skeell lemming train 108 games and you show this , lol You got your draw / drivers out there like you and Kellerman platoon play with same lol all about the contacts any other 60ft assassins get up in you lol
Truth be told, the tech tree one is even worse. Unless you go full apcr. 880 shell velocity in today's meta is just painful. Lobbing high arc shots that you need to aim below a tank on range to his LFp cause the shell comes from up high.
@@JEkglw it's only good if you spam prem (at which point you play a tier 8.5), and if you do that you are better of with a variety of tier 8 prem heavies that even make credits doing so. Also it's DPM is only good on paper, peekaboo Playstyle favors alpha and we'll power creep wasn't to kind to it in that regard. When tier 8 alpha used to be 320 on average with some shotguns at 390 yeah 280 wasn't that bad... But now that we have 440 alpha tanks and the latest edition that takes half your hp bar in one hit. And the game pace increased a lot so she'll velocity of 800 heck anything below 1000 is rather painful. So yeah I rather go with the ax, shells are faster and the alpha sucks either way and the good old point, tier 8 tanks become obsolete if you can buy it's prem sibling. Specially so since they made prem tanks even better then tech tree counterparts.
i think this tank was always underperforming, the biggest issue to me is the same of the patriot: horrible gun handling for the alpha

14:05 perfect synchro :D
I think Skill added some cream to his coffee on that first game
30:35 Tank so bad he turned to drinking
You make me want to roll the FV 201 (A45) out of deep freeze. also Panther 8.8 is calling out to Skill.

I like the challenge of the underdog anyways even if that was true.
FV has 230…
The problem with the FV is that it doesn't even have the reload, most of the T8 with 230 alpha reload for 4 sec, thus one however reloads for 7, just like the British meds, low rate of fire, abysmal dpm, and you look like a joke compared with other *standard* tanks, I'm not even talking about the premiums, and it pains me cuz it's like my favorite tank.

lol....that first match was mental..... never seen so many tourists in 1 day, let alone 1 battle 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Skill it's unfair that I can give only one thumbs up. Best to You
I oddly really enjoy this tank, at about 77% MOE after 44 games :D
Same with the FV, I even somehow manage to make the armor on my tank work, but lately cuz of some in-game issues the game is unplayable and I just can't do anything

It used to be one of my absolute favorite tanks back in the day. But the power creep has been terrible. I can't seem to do anything with it now.
My guess he doesn't have his credits or gold switched in ammo resupply from gold to credits click on it add 4 minutes worth of ammo
Honestly watching you play is pretty amazing, but I wish you showed how to salvage bad games, 1 bad game, 1 avg game, 1 good game
But Skieeel was that Weißbier directly from the bottle?! And all Germans go REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! ;)
That first game was insane

Only 67% win rate? Wtf, never have i seen that before.
You are amazing mate
eu is low competition
This tank as well as couple of others (Patriot) need a gun handling buff or something..
wot just gave me this tank i hope it doesnt suck
I played tiger 2 last night, couldn't get a match without BZ, and o got absolutely destroyed easch time.
The BZ is simply too owerpowered. It destroy games so fast that it's just a nightmare.
Yep bz has armour like a pre buffed e100
wow what a Game
lmao. Even I was not expecting that game.🤣
In what tank was skills best most experience game ever with 4070 base xp? Maybe the churchhill 3?
Your sarcastic question is so random. Bravo! :D
@@danielmatheis9600 it's a serious question
@@Pittsburgh-412 and the 13 kills?
How the hell do you get so many muppet teams to play against?
I'll have to give this tank a go again. But it isn't a front line in your face kinda tank.
Having a place where you don't have to worry about politics is one of the reasons why i like coming here. It also doesn't hurt that my game has improved since i started watching.
I have it! It look very well on paper but is incredible bad in reality! Being premium i couldn't decide to sell it, til now!
I guess i have to try a kabob.
Skill u constantly make my day :)
If they were worth 6 billion in 2021. Then they are only worth 2-3 billion. 24:50
The Caern AX is garbage, it HAS preferred match making but when it faces T9/10 it's like a bad medium, fast gun good accuracy but no pen and low alpha if you do, and at T8/10 the armor is garbage
Thank Christ I didn't bother trying to get Chuck Norris as a commander - what an HILARIOUSLY bad voice set.
for me this tank is good to sell into shop :D
I am watching because of this too and in a way I am enjoying Skill suffering 😂
I use to absolutely love this tank back in the day. It wasn’t the best back then but you could compete with it. Now a days there are just so ,any great tanks that this has unfortunately became irrelevant.
Irrelevant underperforming tanks= my favorite.
what a gem.. a brown gem lol.. imagine a Liberte.. but worse stats ahaha

I never had good game with that tank.
Bravo Skill
What commander is Skeeel using? Very odd narration.
Chuck Norris
This man is good :) ahahahaha
Oh my gosh Skill you look so tired
many sleepless nights being part of a corrupt organisation.
Skeell lemming train 108 games and you show this , lol

I have no problem playing just as good in so called outdated tanks. Everyone is just a complaining cry baby.
Poor Skill. This is such a boring tank.
you always cover over the british emblems and flags maybe anti brits?
Also, the gun handling of this tank is not impressive. Frustrating in longer term.
trash tank
