Hey fellas! I'd like to hear your opinion on the preferred format. Do you prefer watching three games where all of them have good performance, or would you rather see any three games in a row, even if they might include some bad or average games? Thanks in advance for your feedback!
I like hearing how you think when you make decisions during play. It's good to see both successes as well as mistakes. I like long and hard games instead of fast 15-0 games.
When I started playing this game 8 years ago, playing tier 7s and seeing a spotted Jgtiger aiming at me, would almost aways made me shit my pants. Now there is no fear factor even for a T95
My experience from yesterday's session is this: Your ally may be your worst enemy, pushing, covering, blocking, etc. For this 1:15 type game most of the time. Today's WOT is a brutal experience. Not to mention that Rng and lag drive you crazy.
I loved the JT back in the day. Then gold ammo became available for credits which made the JT's armor completely useless :( Also I believe back then 560 was still the second highest alpha after 750, and everything with 750 reloaded almost twice as long, which gave the JT extremely nice dpm. Damn these were good times
@@andypandy2848 Arty is far worse than it was, you're only dealing tiny amounts of damage compared to what you used to be able to. Get rid of stun and bring back damage.
I actually think that this tank and it's tier 10 are good despite the gold spam. Since everyone is using gold rounds this means tanks with more health are better and these tanks have more health than other TDs and use gold rounds better than other TDs. Couple Thier high health and damage and not many tanks can trade effectively with them. Like for some reason the JPZ E-100 pen jumps all the way up to 420 pen with gold rounds. Giving it the highest pen out of all TDs.
I really like it this way, with any 3 in a row! Also, I really apreciate that you actually talk about the posotions you can take even more than before, și big thumbs up from Romania! 🔥
I had the same experience yesterday with only 15 to 5 and 5 to 15. Hadn't had such a day for quite some time, almost tought mm might have got better...
3rd battle is so typical nowadays for encounters, especially on Prokhorovka for southern teams..... ignore the hill and the cap in village and have a bbq in H2. a shame when even the fast mediums and the top tier heavies join the usual party of the triangles
I think the reason why the games are so unstable these days is that the schools are on vacation. There are many children, newbies, and troll players. In addition, it is quite possible to see at least one person manipulating the game in almost every game. In fact, in almost every match, I am noticing many players who leave the game at a certain place and stay afk. this is not bearable. The game losing its playability. Yesterday I decided not to play till October. good luck everyone.
At least you have players. Try Asia server on workday. (Mon-Fri) If anyone accuse me of sealclubbing on Tier 4 and below in this server, I'd just tell them that good luck finding people on Tier 5 and above on any workday night 2 - 3 hours before the daily mission reset. You're lucky if the matchmaker gives you a game before 5 minutes search time limit when playing above Tier 5. That should be a good indicator of how many players are on this server during said period when you have to drop down to Tier 4 and below so bots could fill the spots and let you complete at least some dailies instead of keep waiting ad infinitum and then goes to bed.
@@machaiping Wtf? 2-3 hours before reset is the prime time for ASIA, it's around 10k players even in weekday and you'll get instant matchmaking at that time. You can even still play in like 5 hours after reset and still get matches even with a bit longer queue time. Pretty sure either you are playing in Australia cluster and mislabelled it as ASIA, or you don't even realize that you are in Australia. Press escape in the lobby and switch to HK server.
Hey Skill. It used to be that by changing server or changing tier you got better gameplay, but not any more. The teams are designed to give fast victory/defeat to one team so you can't farm, and you spend more credits faster, without return. It is designed that way. The only solution is to play preferential matching tanks at low tier to get a decent match. I play the German premium B1, the KV220, or such at the end of my short session to get one decent game. It is the same in World of Warships. You win, you get low damage... you get high damage you lose. It's rigged, 100%.
Regarding matchmaking: I feel like something questionable happened during the last Holiday Ops or possibly right after the player migration from RUBY region to EU servers. WarGaming broke something in the mm algorithm and haven't either noticed, never fixed it or didn't even bother. I started playing this game at the start of February last year. I remember matches lasting longer on average but blowout matches were a thing too . In the recent months of actively playing, most matches that aren't over in 4 minutes are plagued with A B S U R D amount of camping strategies where you can clearly see the starting tactics of playing is to sit in a single spot on the map (mostly on the redline) and wait until something happens. Even more experienced and better players than me are not taking basic positions or fighting for initiative. Really can't see myself playing this game actively if this matchmaking stays the same or its' conditions worsen.
yes, it looked different some time ago, but campers have been a problem not only in the last month. So the "camping" is not a problem of the matchmaking, at least not when we talk on top tier heavies and mediums. this is a players topic, but one can ask "why do they do this?". there are multiple answers to this question, some related to the game and not to the players like - the strength of the tanks when you compare them on different maps - like compare BZ176 to VK4502a... - the first point even pushed by +2MM - to many TD's in most battles - map design or changes to older maps - Airfield was the worst change in my opinion (a change to heavy lane was needed, but what they did .. oh boy) the game points make the player to be campers, but not always ... see 3rd battle in video... it is just stupid as "a team" to ignore hill and village in encounter battle and having bbq on 2-line as southern team did. even the middle was not strong or lacked support as players at bbq just have been to far away
I love how Tier 10 Prok Encounter map, and your team lemmings the 1 line, ignoring the cap. I see this so often. How do they make it to Tier 10 and not know how to play Encounter battles??
Standard prok encounter battle lol. + Whenever the enemy team has complete control over the east side of the map (both hills, heavys playing hulldown in the railway tracks, etc) it's pretty much impossible to retake.
I cnt even make it to their 10 the their 9 are so expensive to play plus you have to grind 56000 xp for the their 9 top gun which requires atleast 100 games meaning I've got to spend a huge amm of creds so I'm currently at 5 k battles and 5 tank lines grinded to their 8 teirs and teir 9 researched I don't know what to do
@@HAra-fw8ds I recommend playing a lot of Tier 6-8. Don't feel pressured to grind fast to Tier 10. Easier to make credits in the middle tiers, plus you have more time to learn the maps. I have over 27k battles and I have played Tier 6 more than any other tier.
Yeah im feeling it very very well. Was 93,7 on bourrasque and dropped down to 84 :-X just because of 15:1 simulators. Now im back to 90+ and im taking a break from bourrasque. I love your patient and calm. Wish i can do this aswell. I have already 3rd mouse in last year :-D
*"There's nothing I can do about this situation." Most of us think so but we are WRONG, when players start BOYCOTTING this game either by not playing it or by completely stopping spending money on it, wargaming will have to find a way to fix this rubbish matchmaking. Warthunder went through this a few weeks ago and apparently the players got what they wanted, it wasn't a matter of matchmaking but it proves that players can pressure these companies to improve their BAD products. There are days when it's just humiliating defeats and other days easy victories. Hardly days balanced in 50/50 win/loss. There's something very wrong with this matchmaking, and it's pushing players further and further away. Everyone does what they want with their money, but as long as there are suckers spending a lot of money on this game, wargaming will not do anything to fix the problems in this game, they will continue INVENTING premium tank.*
lol do you think its that simple? Just "fix" matchmaking they said, its obvious that its not an easy thing to do, its in noones interest to have 15:0 games. Also remember more complex matchmaking will take more time, and when average waiting time will be like 2-3 mins, everyone will cry about how long it takes to get in to the battle....
@@durachoks in my opinion, you are completely wrong. WG does not care in the least whether their matchmaker is a 15:1 simulator or not, as long as people by premium. How can one make buy premium? By making them believe they get a substantial advantage when buying premium. I do not feel they do. The are just getting bent over and screwed. What do you expect will happen, when WG throws tomatoes at superfluffyunicums? Even if they balanced the team experience/skill (what the do not, and I will prove shortly), one unicum wins over the one of the other team by chance. The remaining unicum will basically just whack through the enemy team. And I cannot remember not having had to compete against 55 %WR + being 48 % WR tomato. About your assumption that balanced matchmaking would take several minutes and everyone would cry about. As I am not everyone, I would not cry? Why should I? To wait 3 minutes for a tight and compelling battle compares quite good to waiting 30 seconds for a 4 minute single sided boring slaughter happening 5 times in a row, i.e. in total 22 minutes and 30 seconds. But would it take 3 minutes to put together a balanced battle? Let's see: I cannot remember having seen less than 4000 connected to a EU server at a single time. First we eliminate +/- 2 tier matchmaking In their explanatory video clips they claim it would be necessary to get enough participants into one battle in suitable time. In my eyes, it is downright a flat lie. There are 10 tiers, neglecting the distribution of tier selection there would be at least 400 players in any tier at any time. A battle consists of 30 players so for every tier there would be enough players for at least 13 simultaneous battles. One might assume that this would be enough to have 13 "classes" of battle strengths at any time. If that is not enough, what is the reason to always have teams of 15? Why not have teams of 10 in times of need? Or 8? Could that make for variation? Is there any big difference at all to the mode we see today where in the first 3 minutes 5 of one team are gone already? Experiment of thought proving my point about balancing: Assumptions: 1. Huge number of battles 2. Only 4 players, 2 equal superfluffyunicums with fully rigged out tanks and crews, 2 deep red tomatoes with stock tanks and 50 % crews 3. The mm would balance the team quality of the competing team. Results: 1. Every battle would see teams with each one unicum and one tomato. 2. Every unicum would win 50 % of the battles. Every tomato would win 50 % their battles too, but it was not their fault a single time. Let's assume the 3. assumption was not true and the teams were put together randomly. Results (% rounded): 1. In 33 % of the battles the unicums end up in one team, having 100 % WR in that case. 2. In 67 % of the battles the results are the one of the original setup, i.e. 33 % of the total battles are wins for any of the participants. 3. Unicums will have a WR of 67 % and tomatoes 33 %. Does this sound familiar? All in all, I do not feel it is difficult to have much more balanced battles. They just do not want to because people would buy less premium. The wicked thing is, that there seem two types of premium buyers. The ones wanting to advance to higher tiers or other lines faster and the ones trying to improve their WR with gold. And it is the latter ones getting punished hardest with the current matchmaker.
@@thiemokellner1893 like I said, I dont think its that simple, even if you balance people by skill, there are a lot of tanks, tank types, put one unicum in a med, and other in a S.Conq on a Himmelsdorf, kinda doesnt change anything, even if you put other guy in a E100. Tthere are so many other factors in this game, that balancing out skill is not even that impactful. Also imo randomness is what keeps this game alive, if you cross the line with hardcore balancing, making most rounds same, you could possibly hurt this game more than 15:0 games.
NGL, I low key love the Jagdtiger. That gun is just awesome, and the armor can *kinda* work if you hide the hull and wedge it up so the superstructure is angled back. One of my highest damage games ever was in the JT on the hill on Malinovka, spamming gold at heavies. I was alone vs. two one-shots at the end, with 6800 damage. It could have been a come from behind win (possibly a Kolobanov’s-I don’t remember for sure now) but the JT was too slow. It was a draw. 😢
My favourite and one of my best tanks to play But it's extremely hard to play if you don't know what to do with it Currently on 86,09% moe and was already at 90% but got a few very bad days. And I mean VERY bad days. Which made me pause Jagdtiger moe for now It's armour is underrrated. I mean it's butter, but hard butter. You bounce a lot of shots of which you thought they should have penetrated your armor. And and certain maps like monastery or city maps a single Jagdtiger can hold a flank if you're against only tier 9 or lower. The best thing is it's hp. Whenever you are forced to trade shots in the end you get a lot of free damage because of your insane hp and fast reload with 560 alpha. Oh and the penetration on gold armor is higher than that of Grille15. Unfortunately no HEAT but I think APCR isn't as bad for the Jagdtiger as it would be for other tanks. With pink or purple turbocharger it even has some good speed (I just love my racecar Jagdtiger) and I think it's better than JagdE100 in every way Just like Waffle and Grille
I quickly learned to like this tank, but it’s heavily dependent on matchmaking and map. On larger maps, I tended to keep a distance and use the guns accuracy to punch people in the face and your armor is more reliable at long distance. City Mabs unfortunately, you usually have to fight face to face so learning how to angle your armor like an E 100 is important but you’re just a big juicy meatball so you have to be patient.
I am honestly not happy with this game at the moment, it leaves me upset and frustrated. Winning or losing is clearly not in the players hands. Wargaming decides who wins and who loses.
I almost reinstalled the game after watching the first 2 battles. Decided to watch the entire video, and saw Prokorovka, then decided: nah im not that masochistic :)
24:05 - remember Skill - DONT abuse your chair. I got my Secret lab chair today and in manual is - dont abuse chari. So please remember that if you would like to spank your chaim skilSmile :D
My winrate with the jagdtiger is 33% because of 15-1 simulator. If I go in front I die, If enemy's make a lot of pressure and my team dies I die as well after. It's a situational but ok tank. Oh and the gun. It's very nice!
I have 58% in this tank, i use gun rammer, grousers, turbo. I do around 2500 combined each game. It's not the games fault you lose. When using your armor you have to go hull down, and when you're against higher tier tanks you should camp more because you have no chance against them.
@@1dealace im using hardening, rammer and vents. The problem with hull down is that they can still pen you if they load gold. Camping is pretty much the only option and when your team is losing there is nothing you can do except get as much damage while you still can. I guess the jagdtiger also suffers a bit from being a non turreted td.
i love all german tanks no matter what. My first 3 mark is on this beast. Yes its plastic armor, slow and huge. But the gun when it works well i was destroying t10s like nothing…
Somehow i liked it more than Jg.Pz. E100 and talking about the WR i'm getting 60-80% for 2-3 days and then 20-45% WR for 7-10 days... That's why i'm stuck on 53% WR 2 years already... to be exact i'm jumping from 53.08% up to 53.16% WR... RNG +-25% is the key reason why there is 15-0/15-5 battles... And not the noobs that is in your team. For example i'm little bit better than the average player and i should have 56-58% WR but sometimes RNG just saying nah not today or to be correct NAH NOT THIS WEEK...😤
"RNG +-25% is the key reason why there is 15-0/15-5 battles..." RNG my assssss...Where the F was this result nearly such common in 5-8 years from now??? RNG have been +/-25% since the beginning... Rather WG is the reason who either making this willingly or simply doesnt care about implementing skill-based matchmaking... (And before anyone would say, they shouldnt need to invent it since they ARE already influencing each player's MM admittedly...)
@@laszlopap8271 Dude 8 years back correct me if i'm wrong there was no gold ammo for the credits... 8+ years back 1 hit out of 10 was with premium and now almost non stop gold ammo fiesta as it's for credits... + let's not forget that about 6 years back there was only about 500-550 tanks now there is 746+ tanks... let's not forget about some re balancing and that's WHY TH RNG +-25% is TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN It was before even knowing the fact it's still +-25%. Like a good old days eewhen most of the battles were 15-12/15-14 and 10-15min duration.
@@davidaio1019 Small correction, average game time has almost always been accessible, in early days games were shorter than now, currently average game is at 7 min and 17 seconds. Early days just a bit under 7 min. There is no official data for 15:0 games, only what some players have collected, but indeed one sided games have increased, but not by that much. A lot of things are only happening in players head, for last years most CCs have been complaining about turbo games, games are getting faster and faster and blah blah blah, you dont hear that recently, you know why? Because tomatogg, released detailed map statistics and if anything games are getting longer every year.
i do not think that there should be a 'skillbased matchmaking system' in this game. If skillbased matchmaking will be implemented all of our win ratio's will more or less be the same because of the fact that 'good players' will meet 'good players' and 'bad players' will meet 'bad players'. This would simply make being good at the game less rewarding because regardless of your skill level every player will win around 50% of their games and lose around 50% of their games. However i do think that there should be 'an equal share' of skills on both teams. for instance, when one team has an exceptionally good player the other team should have an exceptionally good player to match that. and the same goes when one team has an exceptionally bad player, the other team should have a 'bad player' to compensate. this will make the win ratios more even like the 'skillbased matchmaking' but it will still give the better players a reward since they will outperform their their worse teammates
I think that's what most players mean when they mention skill based mm. Just sum up the whole team's rating and place 2 teams with the equal result, doesn't need to make teams with equal individual rating. Another consideration is a special queue for OP tanks like chief, 279e, ... so that if one team has them, the other should have them too (they've already done this in the previous rank battles with EBR, so this is not an issue for them).
Skieel!Can u pleaze do st-II vid soon I rly want a new review I dont belive the tank is as bad as you say I did my bloking record of 8K with it.I truly belive it deserves better than 2 stars, try it with hardening vents and experimental turbo, almost 3k hp I play with it like an E100
For me gun is epic, but why play with a giant box with weak armor, no camo, frontal engine and weak ammo rack, and terrible acceleration when you can play with a waffle which has the same gun but is stealthy and has a rotating turret? Also this will be the start of day 1: asking for the most underrated and forgotten tank, Charlie Magne!
In my opinion, jag pz e100 doesn't properly fit the line, i mean, with Jagtiger you can have a really high dpm, super fast shell velocity, super accurate gun, 560 alpha, i would liked see a more similar tank, a better version of jagtiger put in tier X, maybe with the same alpha but better dpm, gun handling and armor
Now whats not fun about random damage, random penetration, random shot location, unbalanced teams, tank powercreep and spgs that play the game by different rules?
You should watch the video by Paddington about how to fix matchmaker it is a very well balanced view. I know WG will not pay any attention to it but if people like you as a CC don't say anything we will not get anywhere. On the format of your videos yes you need to show the bad ones and the good ones otherwise average players like me will leave the game because of the perception that it is full of players at your level who 'never' lose and so what really is the point in taking part?
I just got my Jagdtiger and played my first game today. New tank, virgin crew and fired ZERO premium rounds! I got 3,763 damage and one kill! I was first in damage, but fourth in XP because I was sitting back sniping what others were spotting for me! You guys might like to brawl in this tank, but it's a great sniper too!
Imo, one of the reason that makes win/lost causing frustration is that they are shown in your record. Imagine a tank that you love but it keeps getting trashed by mm and only have 40% wr. I quit playing random because of this and only back to the game playing frontline or events because wr does not matter there, so you just play to farm, to have fun, ... without worrying about mm f you in the @ss.
Streaks of one sided wins or losses are very annoying and don't seem random. The balance in this game is pathetic. I don't know why they don't try and fix this.
Yiesss.... good gun, quite bad mobility, unreliable armor. Average tank in my opinion. Playing with Jagdtiger brings more fun than expected, but also worse score than expected.
Honestly, I hate this tank with passion. Its platform is horrible: no cammo, no armor and moreover superslow. Yes, the gun is awesome, but 1)rng is rng 2) what TD 9 doesn't have good gun? Though nice video Skill, thanks!
I dont care if i loose 5 to 15 or win 15 to 5. I just focus on doing the best i can with what ever tank im in. If the team is stupid and throws 3/4 of the map for the enemy team so they can build crossfire with no resistance im happy for what ever damage and assistance i can make from it. I dont know if its the summer or what but feels like the leming trains have made their return.
Hey fellas! I'd like to hear your opinion on the preferred format. Do you prefer watching three games where all of them have good performance, or would you rather see any three games in a row, even if they might include some bad or average games? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Depends on whether your tank has armor or not.

I cnt even make it to their 10 the their 9 are so expensive to play plus you have to grind 56000 xp for the their 9 top gun which requires atleast 100 games meaning I've got to spend a huge amm of creds so I'm currently at 5 k battles and 5 tank lines grinded to their 8 teirs and teir 9 researched I don't know what to do
@@HAra-fw8ds I recommend playing a lot of Tier 6-8. Don't feel pressured to grind fast to Tier 10. Easier to make credits in the middle tiers, plus you have more time to learn the maps. I have over 27k battles and I have played Tier 6 more than any other tier.
14:06 mister crvrvrvron, from now on im gonna be using that :DD
and answer to your pinned question. Simply yes, i love the new format and i love your work. Keep it up skill!
I really like the title. There is not a single situation in any day of the year where the game wants me to win.
Yeah im feeling it very very well. Was 93,7 on bourrasque and dropped down to 84 :-X just because of 15:1 simulators. Now im back to 90+ and im taking a break from bourrasque. I love your patient and calm. Wish i can do this aswell. I have already 3rd mouse in last year :-D
*"There's nothing I can do about this situation." Most of us think so but we are WRONG, when players start BOYCOTTING this game either by not playing it or by completely stopping spending money on it, wargaming will have to find a way to fix this rubbish matchmaking. Warthunder went through this a few weeks ago and apparently the players got what they wanted, it wasn't a matter of matchmaking but it proves that players can pressure these companies to improve their BAD products. There are days when it's just humiliating defeats and other days easy victories. Hardly days balanced in 50/50 win/loss. There's something very wrong with this matchmaking, and it's pushing players further and further away. Everyone does what they want with their money, but as long as there are suckers spending a lot of money on this game, wargaming will not do anything to fix the problems in this game, they will continue INVENTING premium tank.*
amen brother
good luck organizing a boycott with this playerbase lol. War thunder playerbase has simply higher average IQ.
lol do you think its that simple? Just "fix" matchmaking they said, its obvious that its not an easy thing to do, its in noones interest to have 15:0 games. Also remember more complex matchmaking will take more time, and when average waiting time will be like 2-3 mins, everyone will cry about how long it takes to get in to the battle....
@@durachoks in my opinion, you are completely wrong. WG does not care in the least whether their matchmaker is a 15:1 simulator or not, as long as people by premium. How can one make buy premium? By making them believe they get a substantial advantage when buying premium. I do not feel they do. The are just getting bent over and screwed.
What do you expect will happen, when WG throws tomatoes at superfluffyunicums? Even if they balanced the team experience/skill (what the do not, and I will prove shortly), one unicum wins over the one of the other team by chance. The remaining unicum will basically just whack through the enemy team.
And I cannot remember not having had to compete against 55 %WR + being 48 % WR tomato.
About your assumption that balanced matchmaking would take several minutes and everyone would cry about. As I am not everyone, I would not cry? Why should I? To wait 3 minutes for a tight and compelling battle compares quite good to waiting 30 seconds for a 4 minute single sided boring slaughter happening 5 times in a row, i.e. in total 22 minutes and 30 seconds. But would it take 3 minutes to put together a balanced battle? Let's see: I cannot remember having seen less than 4000 connected to a EU server at a single time. First we eliminate +/- 2 tier matchmaking In their explanatory video clips they claim it would be necessary to get enough participants into one battle in suitable time. In my eyes, it is downright a flat lie. There are 10 tiers, neglecting the distribution of tier selection there would be at least 400 players in any tier at any time. A battle consists of 30 players so for every tier there would be enough players for at least 13 simultaneous battles. One might assume that this would be enough to have 13 "classes" of battle strengths at any time. If that is not enough, what is the reason to always have teams of 15? Why not have teams of 10 in times of need? Or 8? Could that make for variation? Is there any big difference at all to the mode we see today where in the first 3 minutes 5 of one team are gone already?
Experiment of thought proving my point about balancing:
Assumptions:
1. Huge number of battles
2. Only 4 players, 2 equal superfluffyunicums with fully rigged out tanks and crews, 2 deep red tomatoes with stock tanks and 50 % crews
3. The mm would balance the team quality of the competing team.
Results:
1. Every battle would see teams with each one unicum and one tomato.
2. Every unicum would win 50 % of the battles. Every tomato would win 50 % their battles too, but it was not their fault a single time.
Let's assume the 3. assumption was not true and the teams were put together randomly.
Results (% rounded):
1. In 33 % of the battles the unicums end up in one team, having 100 % WR in that case.
2. In 67 % of the battles the results are the one of the original setup, i.e. 33 % of the total battles are wins for any of the participants.
3. Unicums will have a WR of 67 % and tomatoes 33 %. Does this sound familiar?
All in all, I do not feel it is difficult to have much more balanced battles. They just do not want to because people would buy less premium. The wicked thing is, that there seem two types of premium buyers. The ones wanting to advance to higher tiers or other lines faster and the ones trying to improve their WR with gold. And it is the latter ones getting punished hardest with the current matchmaker.
@@thiemokellner1893 like I said, I dont think its that simple, even if you balance people by skill, there are a lot of tanks, tank types, put one unicum in a med, and other in a S.Conq on a Himmelsdorf, kinda doesnt change anything, even if you put other guy in a E100. Tthere are so many other factors in this game, that balancing out skill is not even that impactful. Also imo randomness is what keeps this game alive, if you cross the line with hardcore balancing, making most rounds same, you could possibly hurt this game more than 15:0 games.
The very honorable Mouzakrobat truely dislikes the Jagdtiger.
Skil I turned it off a long time ago , this game has not been fun for years..... but I like to watch you guys and laugh my ass off
Me ha estado pasando en mi cuenta nueva 😢 típica 15-1 y terminar top de dmg y Xp pero perderlas duele mucho 😢
i have the tank, but rarely ever play it. I just feel its not good enough during the 15-3 simulators. You cannot chase your damage
NGL, I low key love the Jagdtiger. That gun is just awesome, and the armor can *kinda* work if you hide the hull and wedge it up so the superstructure is angled back. One of my highest damage games ever was in the JT on the hill on Malinovka, spamming gold at heavies. I was alone vs. two one-shots at the end, with 6800 damage. It could have been a come from behind win (possibly a Kolobanov’s-I don’t remember for sure now) but the JT was too slow. It was a draw. 😢
My favourite and one of my best tanks to play
But it's extremely hard to play if you don't know what to do with it
Currently on 86,09% moe and was already at 90% but got a few very bad days. And I mean VERY bad days. Which made me pause Jagdtiger moe for now
It's armour is underrrated. I mean it's butter, but hard butter. You bounce a lot of shots of which you thought they should have penetrated your armor. And and certain maps like monastery or city maps a single Jagdtiger can hold a flank if you're against only tier 9 or lower.
The best thing is it's hp. Whenever you are forced to trade shots in the end you get a lot of free damage because of your insane hp and fast reload with 560 alpha. Oh and the penetration on gold armor is higher than that of Grille15. Unfortunately no HEAT but I think APCR isn't as bad for the Jagdtiger as it would be for other tanks.
With pink or purple turbocharger it even has some good speed (I just love my racecar Jagdtiger) and I think it's better than JagdE100 in every way
Just like Waffle and Grille
Good and the bad is always fun to watch , But only with your narration because you are the master at it .
I quickly learned to like this tank, but it’s heavily dependent on matchmaking and map. On larger maps, I tended to keep a distance and use the guns accuracy to punch people in the face and your armor is more reliable at long distance. City Mabs unfortunately, you usually have to fight face to face so learning how to angle your armor like an E 100 is important but you’re just a big juicy meatball so you have to be patient.
What is the mod you use to track your MOE? I've been looking but cannot find one :,(
!mod in my twitch channel
highly situational tank like most non turreted tank destroyers
I am honestly not happy with this game at the moment, it leaves me upset and frustrated. Winning or losing is clearly not in the players hands. Wargaming decides who wins and who loses.
Dude I played 51 games Sunday. I have had 12 games or more that were 15-0, 15-1, 15-2. It was disgusting.
I almost reinstalled the game after watching the first 2 battles. Decided to watch the entire video, and saw Prokorovka, then decided: nah im not that masochistic :)
I'm impressed that my APCR is not penning E 100 turret from 300m
mate, have you seen grille video?! i made it for you!
24:05 - remember Skill - DONT abuse your chair. I got my Secret lab chair today and in manual is - dont abuse chari. So please remember that if you would like to spank your chaim skilSmile :D
:(
My winrate with the jagdtiger is 33% because of 15-1 simulator. If I go in front I die, If enemy's make a lot of pressure and my team dies I die as well after. It's a situational but ok tank.
Oh and the gun. It's very nice!
I have 58% in this tank, i use gun rammer, grousers, turbo. I do around 2500 combined each game. It's not the games fault you lose. When using your armor you have to go hull down, and when you're against higher tier tanks you should camp more because you have no chance against them.
@@1dealace im using hardening, rammer and vents. The problem with hull down is that they can still pen you if they load gold. Camping is pretty much the only option and when your team is losing there is nothing you can do except get as much damage while you still can. I guess the jagdtiger also suffers a bit from being a non turreted td.
@@1dealacedo you make any credits with it. I can do 2500 HP but lose credits
With this td, you either win with 1k dmg or lose with 5k dmg.
can u do another video on Jagdpizda almost been a year since last time, and its ofcourse bigger brother.
maybe!
3 in a row with maybe the exception to have at least 1 game in there where the tank does what it is supposed to do.
My old love...now i'm not playing wot for 6 months and i'm happy xD
i love all german tanks no matter what. My first 3 mark is on this beast. Yes its plastic armor, slow and huge. But the gun when it works well i was destroying t10s like nothing…
Somehow i liked it more than Jg.Pz. E100 and talking about the WR i'm getting 60-80% for 2-3 days and then 20-45% WR for 7-10 days... That's why i'm stuck on 53% WR 2 years already... to be exact i'm jumping from 53.08% up to 53.16% WR... RNG +-25% is the key reason why there is 15-0/15-5 battles... And not the noobs that is in your team. For example i'm little bit better than the average player and i should have 56-58% WR but sometimes RNG just saying nah not today or to be correct NAH NOT THIS WEEK...😤
"RNG +-25% is the key reason why there is 15-0/15-5 battles..."
RNG my assssss...Where the F was this result nearly such common in 5-8 years from now??? RNG have been +/-25% since the beginning...
Rather WG is the reason who either making this willingly or simply doesnt care about implementing skill-based matchmaking... (And before anyone would say, they shouldnt need to invent it since they ARE already influencing each player's MM admittedly...)
@@laszlopap8271 Dude 8 years back correct me if i'm wrong there was no gold ammo for the credits... 8+ years back 1 hit out of 10 was with premium and now almost non stop gold ammo fiesta as it's for credits... + let's not forget that about 6 years back there was only about 500-550 tanks now there is 746+ tanks... let's not forget about some re balancing and that's WHY TH RNG +-25% is TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN It was before even knowing the fact it's still +-25%. Like a good old days eewhen most of the battles were 15-12/15-14 and 10-15min duration.
@@davidaio1019 Small correction, average game time has almost always been accessible, in early days games were shorter than now, currently average game is at 7 min and 17 seconds. Early days just a bit under 7 min. There is no official data for 15:0 games, only what some players have collected, but indeed one sided games have increased, but not by that much.
A lot of things are only happening in players head, for last years most CCs have been complaining about turbo games, games are getting faster and faster and blah blah blah, you dont hear that recently, you know why? Because tomatogg, released detailed map statistics and if anything games are getting longer every year.
im with you, i love this tank more then jagpyzda
@@durachoks
WG-employee detected? :D :D :D
Or u dont play this game nowadays?
Actually the 2 dont exclude the other.... ^^
I usually have 2 or 3 days of good matchmaking and then 2 solid days of lousy MM and the RNG gods just deserted me!
Looooong time ago i had horrible experience with that tank, 6 inaccurate shot in row and at that time i altf4 😂
Whenever I have consecutive loses, I take a break and play SimCity 4 to cooldown. It really helps.
What about 4 games in the row!?
JT has one of the best or maybe the most relieable 12.8mm gun in the game.. fire and forget!!
i do not think that there should be a 'skillbased matchmaking system' in this game. If skillbased matchmaking will be implemented all of our win ratio's will more or less be the same because of the fact that 'good players' will meet 'good players' and 'bad players' will meet 'bad players'. This would simply make being good at the game less rewarding because regardless of your skill level every player will win around 50% of their games and lose around 50% of their games. However i do think that there should be 'an equal share' of skills on both teams. for instance, when one team has an exceptionally good player the other team should have an exceptionally good player to match that. and the same goes when one team has an exceptionally bad player, the other team should have a 'bad player' to compensate. this will make the win ratios more even like the 'skillbased matchmaking' but it will still give the better players a reward since they will outperform their their worse teammates
I think that's what most players mean when they mention skill based mm. Just sum up the whole team's rating and place 2 teams with the equal result, doesn't need to make teams with equal individual rating. Another consideration is a special queue for OP tanks like chief, 279e, ... so that if one team has them, the other should have them too (they've already done this in the previous rank battles with EBR, so this is not an issue for them).
I think there should always be 1 good game. The rest can be whatever, so that we get an idea of how the tank truly is
I prefer the mix of games no matter the outcomes. It's exactly those situations when you want to Alt-F4 the game and you can laugh.
feel like ive seen this game already
Skieel!Can u pleaze do st-II vid soon I rly want a new review I dont belive the tank is as bad as you say I did my bloking record of 8K with it.I truly belive it deserves better than 2 stars, try it with hardening vents and experimental turbo, almost 3k hp I play with it like an E100
i want to finish t9 tanks for now
For me gun is epic, but why play with a giant box with weak armor, no camo, frontal engine and weak ammo rack, and terrible acceleration when you can play with a waffle which has the same gun but is stealthy and has a rotating turret? Also this will be the start of day 1: asking for the most underrated and forgotten tank, Charlie Magne!
Yes...the teams I have the same shitin my games, i try everything i do damage but when 3 tanks rush on you...is finish😅
I'm grinding this tank and I love it
In my opinion, jag pz e100 doesn't properly fit the line, i mean, with Jagtiger you can have a really high dpm, super fast shell velocity, super accurate gun, 560 alpha, i would liked see a more similar tank, a better version of jagtiger put in tier X, maybe with the same alpha but better dpm, gun handling and armor
Now whats not fun about random damage, random penetration, random shot location, unbalanced teams, tank powercreep and spgs that play the game by different rules?
Jagdtiger; Will shred a Object 279e gun mantelet and upper plate at close range.
It can be absolutely useless most of the time.
Gold is for credits= gg
I got 2nd MoE on this with a crew with 2 perks
Regarding MM, its always worse/ fucked up when its several game modes running.!!
Maybe you can record 5 games. Then choose The most interesting ones. but showing 3 straight games is also very realistic.
thats what we will have today on yt
You should watch the video by Paddington about how to fix matchmaker it is a very well balanced view. I know WG will not pay any attention to it but if people like you as a CC don't say anything we will not get anywhere. On the format of your videos yes you need to show the bad ones and the good ones otherwise average players like me will leave the game because of the perception that it is full of players at your level who 'never' lose and so what really is the point in taking part?
Don't see or pen much of anything anymore in mine. Don't make ant credits.
I just got my Jagdtiger and played my first game today. New tank, virgin crew and fired ZERO premium rounds! I got 3,763 damage and one kill! I was first in damage, but fourth in XP because I was sitting back sniping what others were spotting for me! You guys might like to brawl in this tank, but it's a great sniper too!
Exactly how I felt when I played my German tanks... Bad.
This tanks needs a small armor buff and i would consider it good. The gun is great. Tier 9 and 10 tanks can shred this thing.
my first 6 games with jagdtiger, i lost them all xD
Strv tierX next pls
My favorite tank
My record is I had a first win after 17 games :)
Straight after I had 6 wone games streak. and then again looses
I cant afford a pc anymore so watching more is best.. lol😊
Very well said. If you are frustrated do something more enjoyable. For example, sit on a cactus.
More and more vegetables in this game. Even skill can do nothig if **** in team
Imo, one of the reason that makes win/lost causing frustration is that they are shown in your record. Imagine a tank that you love but it keeps getting trashed by mm and only have 40% wr. I quit playing random because of this and only back to the game playing frontline or events because wr does not matter there, so you just play to farm, to have fun, ... without worrying about mm f you in the @ss.
Wife asked me if anybody but you still plays this game. I said not in North America.
Streaks of one sided wins or losses are very annoying and don't seem random. The balance in this game is pathetic. I don't know why they don't try and fix this.
A very good TD but armor meh....😢
skill next play with jadgpidza
Skill, I want to see jagPizda!😅
As long as people pay for getting screwed by WG the will not change anything about their matchmaker. Therefore I stopped throwing money at them.
Imo its bad, slow, big, no armor, only gun is good, so you can only kinda snipe, just take WT and enjoy yourself
I got my first 8k dmg with this monster
No, Jagdtiger is not underrated! This rating is good!:)
I think JT has best gun in WoT. But the platform is tragic in nowadays meta.
"we have an okay start, we have 3.2 thousand damage..." bro this is not the start, you are losing 8
112 skieeellll 2 years since last vid
Yiesss.... good gun, quite bad mobility, unreliable armor. Average tank in my opinion. Playing with Jagdtiger brings more fun than expected, but also worse score than expected.
15:50 and that's why World of Tanks is dying and it's no longer fun to play.
Jagdtiger = EPIC Defeat Magnet
I hate him (because of that) with all my heart
Honestly, I hate this tank with passion. Its platform is horrible: no cammo, no armor and moreover superslow. Yes, the gun is awesome, but 1)rng is rng 2) what TD 9 doesn't have good gun?
Though nice video Skill, thanks!
for me the gun is good on the paper, but in the game it doesnt hit/pen shit fully aimed.
I dont care if i loose 5 to 15 or win 15 to 5. I just focus on doing the best i can with what ever tank im in. If the team is stupid and throws 3/4 of the map for the enemy team so they can build crossfire with no resistance im happy for what ever damage and assistance i can make from it. I dont know if its the summer or what but feels like the leming trains have made their return.
still good games :)
Selective RNG, a manipulating matchmaker with pay to win outcomes.
Easy the best gun in the whole game
I not sell this tank.power gun.easy make more 2k damages
Xvm destroyed this game.
