This thing really came as a great surprise. Honestly the least exciting tank out of the Holiday Ops lootboxes, but in the end, the most awesome one to play in my experience so far.
I struggled with this tank a lot in the first 20 games. I found it better to go heavy line and support since the gun handling allows you get easy cupola shots up close. I like how it’s basically a 2023 super Pershing; probably the only tank I would say is balanced
Wasn't a surprise to me and i'd hope not to most older players at all that this tank would be good, this tank is literally a direct power creep of the super pershing which keep in mind had to be nerfed multiple times and refunds for the tanks gold value were given out over it happening too. It's hilarious that this tank would ever be added like this.
Funnily enough, the tank the M47 Improved is based on is actually a modernization package for the M48 from the 1990s, which could make this the most modern tank currently in WOT
We have reached the time were QB compares the latest tier 8 premium directly to the tech tree tier 9, not even considering the regular tier 8 tech tree tank... Rip WOT
Do you have the brain capacity to think for 1second that he compared that tank because it’s a m47 patton downgraded from tier 9 to 8 just watch the intro.
Not only is it a medium brawler, but I also average 80 to 120k credits a game. Angle that lower plate and protect your cupola. Because of the slow speed and great turret, I usually fight with the heavies. This tank surprised me and I have fun playing it.
The Super Pershing is one of my favorite tanks and this one would definitely compliment my playstyle, it's not flashy but it will plant it's tracks and dare you to try and pass!
I'll admit when I received this as my first loot box tank I was a bit disappointed. However once I played a couple of battles I realized that it was a bit of a sleeper and was pretty awesome! I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment QB!
The Iron Arnie is balanced, it has pros and cons, like you said, bad DPM, speed, camo, but it also has it pros, penetration, armor and decent damage. It also has some weakspots that can be penetrated with standard ammo, its cupola, lower plate and the gaps on the spaced armor. This tank does stack up really well with skill and knowledge while retaining a decent learn curve, meaning it is even more rewarding when you know what to do. Just to finish, because of the high pen, it is a great credit grinder, so if you need to get that tier X tank, this one will sure help you! WarGaming nailed this tank perfectly as a balanced and fun tank to play and fight against, unlike the Bz-176 and the Vipera.
@@panzerkampfwagenviausf.b2236 This is definitely stronger than the Super Pershing but this is normal since the Super Pershing has pref. MM and can't see tier X.
Hey Qb, really wanted to tell you I really love your videos, they are entertaining to watch, I don’t myself enjoy the game but I love the content commentary style, keep it up man 🤝 Don’t normally comment on yt but I’ve been watching for years and I appreciate the videos 😇
One time only I would like to see review played with REGULAR equipment ! Thts give u the AVERAGE JOE stuff . Not everyone has or can afford premium aiming device or improved vents etc. And they make a substantial difference.
QB, you sometimes, occasionally, remind somewhat of Alan Partridge when he gets all invested talking about cars. :D Congrats on finding what you were absolutely made for in this life! There really is no one doing this better.
I've been impressed with it so far. It basically feels like the 430 II before it was transformed into a sniper; very good auto ricochet angles on that upper hull when you charge somebody
Note: Arnold actually has a normal M47 Patton 2. The Iron Arnie is a M47 Patton Improved. It is not a production vehicle that saw service, so it isnt actually Arnold's tank. Also, there is no M47 Patton in World of Tanks. The M46 has a different (weaker) hull than the M47 Patton.
Really think QB should use standard equipment during the review, damn, maxed out crew combined with bounty equipment, has all the field mods unlocked and used....so IMHO the review is drastically skewed. Maybe show us what we get out of the cox then do all the upgrades and show the improvement
Luckily I got the BZ and the I IronArnie as well, two tanks that were on my list of "wants for this Christmas" althoug, I spent more than I wanted to get the two of these. That's right; I did not get the tier 9 Char. But, I'm not done yet.
You are a big investor in this game I see… my advice is live your live, buy some clothes, have a nice dinner instead of spending money on this trash game.
Ofc WG realizes that there is good equipment to compensate their balancing stats. It's just that not anyone has them or can afford them, favouring the p2w player - a known tradition
I Like and enjoy this Tank more than any other lootbox Tank its Not fancy new mechanic its nostalgic its Classic its realible get's the Job done Like my 1977 Triumph Spitfire
It would have been nice they added a STC correct M47 Patton as a premium tank in the Austrian army colors. And made the "Iron Arnie" Patton as a tier 9 tank.
I got all the tanks in 52 boxes on NA server. Arnie was the one i wanted the most, and it came last, of course. Still haven't played a single game with light tank, and only played2-3 with BZ. I like AMBT, but i kinda wish it's got a bit more of something, either mobility, armor or dpm, as it seems a bit lacky on all fields unless you can afford all bond equipment, which i can't.
This will easily become one of the most popular tanks in the game for three simple reason. I have a lot of premium tanks and in the end I default to one more than any other. Centurion 5/1 Why? Same reason I probably would play this tank. ok all round usable armor god tier standard pen There are so many fun premiums to play that I don't bother playing because you have to fire gold most of the time.
Ambt is probably better, especially late game with the clip damage. Can be used semi aggressively with the strong turret which is basically an auto bounce in most places. Nice tank 👍🏼
Players usually get punished very hard when they play their tier 8 mediums(kind of similar when they play tier 7,8 TDs), even they only made very small mistakes. But this tank is forgivable due to its armor, and has the penetration to compensate the weakness of most tier 8 mediums have. It is a good tank in its form, and a 'black horse' just like Gsor 1008.
Soooo many tanks in my garage I haven’t played yet including this and the astron Rex. I got the AMBT the first time it was out, and my go to America is the Super P or Fury. I just have too many American mediums.
Honestly I am finding the iron arnie to be a counter to the BZ. You never see more than the turret of the arnie, but it blocks shells so often, and HE barely scratches them. And yeah the pen on arnie is sick
I got this tonight. Drunk opening boxes, natch. Watching people play it tho, it looks pretty sick; That turret is pretty mega. (I wanted the rocket Chinese one but I'll take this one!)
You should check out what WG did with this tank on the console edition!! Its now a tier 10 with 3635 DPM. 268/330 pen and 390 damage. A 6.43 reload time 1.78 aim time and .34 dispersion. Top speed is now 45mph, 2100 health and 436 view range. And you can buy it out right for approximately 9k gold during the holiday event if you do some very easy ops.
@@Bcd31997 yeah, for sure, I made sure I picked one up. It's a fairly easy tank to play and it can trade incredibly well, only real issue I've found is it can be a bit of a shell magnet because it's quite vicious and I guess some people see it as being very p2w
im so sad right now that i didnt try getting this tank during the christmass event T_T .... i REALLY REALLY hope that i get another oppertunity to get it again... this tank is literally EVERYTHING ive been looking for.
@@JP-rw2vz alrighty bought it the moment it came on sale. lol. been using it nonstop ever since and absolutely LOVE it. finally, US med tank that you can ACTUALLY rely on its armor.
@@philosophist9562 hey what part of “mostly F2P” did you not get? Meaning I rarely spend money on the game,but occasionally do. I literally made the statement to say that I am not entirely F2P.
Isn't it weird how a tier 8 premium has significantly lower pen than the tier 9 patton? Hence my reason for hating on the tier 9; love the tier 10 though with proper pen.
You know if this thing didn't have that spaced armour, it would likely be the worst tier 8 in the game. Also maybe i'm just lucky, but I seem to hit MORE long range shots with the Iron Arnie's gun than I do in something with (Allegedly) less dispersion.
Op tank!!!! Better amour than many tier 10 tanks , maus e100 etc.!! The turretweakspot is like the frint turret from panther2!!! 300 pen is more than some tier 10 heavies and tier 9 easy!!! Only the dpm balance the tank a little Bit!!! But op at all!!!
I'm glad I only play tier 6 on Hong Kong server I only get +1/-1 match maker .... Tier 8 is just a hot mess so many tier 8 premium tanks and what's the point grinding to tier 9 and to tier 10 ....
To me is fun I don't have to deal with tier 8 premiums, I don't have to fight BZ-176 in my Churchill 7 and I don't even have to use gold only AP (but I still use gold for O-I tho) so I can play fair with AP
Arnie, what is best in life? To Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their repair crews!
Underrated comment tbh

@@MicroageHD armor is god tier. I’m picking up steel wall very often in it
@@MicroageHD If you have issues with the armor then you’ve got to be playing it wrong. It is specifically very good in the armor department

I do have to say the way you have your tanks set up really work very well Thanks for the tips
Patiently waiting for the obj 283 review.
I don’t think he has it. Does he?
I've been impressed with it so far. It basically feels like the 430 II before it was transformed into a sniper; very good auto ricochet angles on that upper hull when you charge somebody
@@gavinprime8154 no idea mate. Never played any of these tanks before so waiting for his review before I kit it out and such
They tune the tanks down in certain aspects so when you equip them you have to sacrifice something.
So it's still balancing them.
Really enjoyed this one the most out of the Prems I got in my loot boxes. Easiest to play and do well in fairly consistently.
Of the new loot crate tanks, this has been my favorite just because it's so consistent.
What really comes to mind is the fact that they need to upgrade the tier 9 Patton 😮
Note: Arnold actually has a normal M47 Patton 2. The Iron Arnie is a M47 Patton Improved. It is not a production vehicle that saw service, so it isnt actually Arnold's tank.
Also, there is no M47 Patton in World of Tanks. The M46 has a different (weaker) hull than the M47 Patton.
Thank you! WG prefers blueprint prototypes than actual production tanks.
I managed to get an ace on my 3rd game in this tank. Feels really consistent, love the way it plays
BZ 176 does as much damage as a STII salvo with a high roll and has rocket boosters and great armour, what a joke lol
Really think QB should use standard equipment during the review, damn, maxed out crew combined with bounty equipment, has all the field mods unlocked and used....so IMHO the review is drastically skewed. Maybe show us what we get out of the cox then do all the upgrades and show the improvement

Excellent review. I agree with your BODY LANGUAGE. It never lies.

Tech tree tanks continually & gradually being relegated to the role as occasionally useful cannon fodder. Learn To Pay.
Tier 8 tech tree tanks are really just cannon fodder for premiums right now... and only getting worse...
won the iron Arnie! and I just completed the Arnie mission, so I have Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Iron Arnie!
I think after these new premium tanks, it's time to make another premium tank tier list.
Whoever has the Offspring crew, can use them in either Iron Arnie or AMBT, same layout with TL-1 LPC.
Love the video, I came back to tanks after 3 years, I LOVE THIS TANK SOOO GOOD
You know, I was just thinking “where is Quickybaby’s video today”. You must be a mind reader.
A nice tier 9,5 indeed
Decent pen? 230 base and 300 gold is amazing for tier 8! Better than some T9s lol.
When everyone focused on how to play this tank, I'm thinking how to fight this tank with the tank I have 😂
I Like and enjoy this Tank more than any other lootbox Tank its Not fancy new mechanic its nostalgic its Classic its realible get's the Job done Like my 1977 Triumph Spitfire
I was waiting for this review. Thanks
It would have been nice they added a STC correct M47 Patton as a premium tank in the Austrian army colors. And made the "Iron Arnie" Patton as a tier 9 tank.
This is the Tank I want the most! So hoping to get this one. Don't care about any of the others
Super Pershing: "well, guess I'll die"
Thus, the super pershing stopped existing

The way its angled it is almoste a guarante HIT in the TURRETRING
even if you aim close enough the shell ricochet right in it
So happy for this tank. Its well balanced and for me as Arnie fan fun to play. Waiting for the Arnie commander so i can fulfill the Arnold machine.
Oh man, I have Type59, and it has 218 pen on gold, which is making the tank almost impossible to pen when facing higher or equal tiers..
18:36 "Cut! Go to commercials!"
Ventilation / Gun Rammer / Turbo
Is the best set up! Try it!
I was waiting for a tank to recruit and put Arnie on. This one seemed highly appropriate
With all the Bz's going around, spaced armour is a huge help
Normal Arnie: get to da choppa!
Iron Arnie: get into da garage!
This will easily become one of the most popular tanks in the game for three simple reason.
I have a lot of premium tanks and in the end I default to one more than any other.
Centurion 5/1
Why? Same reason I probably would play this tank.
ok all round
usable armor
god tier standard pen
There are so many fun premiums to play that I don't bother playing because you have to fire gold most of the time.
I want One ! Have to spend my money on Christmas present for the family, no M47 Iron Arnie for me.
I put arnold quickybaby in this tank as the commander. Who doesn't want a Schwarzenegger 2.0 in his tank😉
Thanks for all the years of good tank info QB!
I was a little disappointed that I didn't get this but I got the AMBT instead, so I can't really complain.

A very good review! Much appreciated.
I got it in the large box with the AMBT and the nice skin of the Conqueror
Arnie drives into a rock. :)
Why didn't they call the model super Patton? Like the super Pershing? Instead of M47 improved
Got the ambt and BZ, m47 was the only other tank i wanted!
Strangely the crew layout matches the T95E6 clan wars tank.
Definitely very strong, but I think after a while people will figure out it's weaknesses like the super pershing
I also feel like this is the American version of the 122 TM. That’s what I really want to see this compared to.

In this tank i use everything that reduce hus dispertion while moving . It reduce his didpertion too much on the paper but the gun behave realy well
