I started playing WoT Nov 1 of 2021. Toward the end of Nov last year I got a chance to be a Turkey as part of the event. People hunted me, shot me, got the 250 gold. At that time I was *very* green when it came to understanding the game but a few tanks stood out as being outright OP or just really nice in general to cruise around in. Pz.V/IV was a monster. Even with sub 1000 games to my name I was having 6 kill games in that thing. Progetto 46 was just buttery smooth to play and kill with. I really enjoyed that tank as a noob. Of the premium heavies though, this sucker, the 50TP Proto just felt fantastic to me. With a highly skilled crew and having mounted good equipment, this thing is a workhorse. Funky armour that's hard to pen (I think my highest spotting game was in a 50TP Proto on Steppes), fairly quick as far as heavies go, you can build her for speed if you want, the gun feels good, sure the pen is low and I secretly hope for a small buff to the pen numbers but overall it's a great tank and buying it won't break the bank. It's not the most meta T8 Heavy but it feels very comfortable to use. Big sexy, like a 58 Cadillac, cruisin' around the battlefield. Cheers for the video man.
I was literally just looking this tank over on the premium store as you can buy it for $$ and I have one of those 30% off coupons. I have the 60TP and I could use that crew in it, train them, and make credits. One really nice thing about that I do not think you mentioned is the 10 degree gun depression. Very respectable and actually better then the T10 60tp.
When i first bought this im not that good at the game but bcoz of its high dmg per shot and decent gun and have a weird depression angles i have decent games but now im a decent player its good. alot of weakspot that you bait shots with then hit them with 440 😀
Is the gun depression better over the side rather than up front? I haven’t driven mine in a while since I’ve been grinding new tech trees, but I remember it being a very dependable tank.
it's called battle hits, it's a garage mod for post game analysis. I recorded it post game and then superimposed it into the gameplay when editing the video
just picked up one of these, figured why not. so far it's horrible, worst tank i've played in months, but i'm also pretty sure that's my fault, i'm playing it wrong. only a few battles in, so i'm trying to get a feel for it. something tells me though i'm going to have to play it like my 122 TM to be successful, even though the pen on 122TM is far higher for reg/gold rounds, turret on 50tpProt should be helpful.. i also hated the 122TM when i first got it, now it's one of my fav t8's
@@DatBoyGuru ok after a bunch of games i hate it. garbage, waste of money useless pile of crap. nearly every game i'm vs IX and X, can't pen anything, too slow to flank, never makes credits, armor is cardboard except for turret right in the front, and everyone knows the spots to shoot to pen. will never play again and likely sell tomorrow. worst purchase in 10+ years of playing. i hate myself for even getting it
I like this tank, I have to use a bounty turbo on it though to get to the positions it needs to play in, I do get sick of fighting other tanks that I just can't pen even with gold though, it's not like you can use your dpm and outflank them, I feel more like im just there some games to hold the enemy team in a position, last game I was trying to hold the hill on Himmelsdorf vs 2 Cheftains and a superconk so felt absolutely usless, when it's top tier it's a boss though .
too right i did have games where I just held a corridor as a bottom tier, but it's the same rules apply even if i was in an udarniy. totally different ball game when bottom tier
Why only talking and promoting prem stuff? Better talk about crap games, boostet companies, shameless cheating and last but not least : horrible maps with trigger points

i really appreciate your story.

If you got a 30% off. buy 120 or more premium days
yeah the 10* is exactly what makes it better than a defender and maybe even a little better than a udarniy
1 year premium days for 21,000 gold is the best deal i wait for
@@derek8564 I have 159 premium days and who knows if I will take a long break before that or not lol
Thanks for doing this video
No problem
I like this tank significantly more than the defender, and correspondingly I have a much higher win rate in it.
agree and 10* gun depression !
Just love the way you say Lowe.
When i first bought this im not that good at the game but bcoz of its high dmg per shot and decent gun and have a weird depression angles i have decent games but now im a decent player its good. alot of weakspot that you bait shots with then hit them with 440 😀
i have to say it's better than a defender and has 10* gun depression

Yeah but the armor is random and the 10* dep is on the sides xD
you still get 8* on the front
What is the name of the mod you are using that shows the enemy shots to your tank?
it's called battle hits, it's a garage mod for post game analysis.

If you can balance the speed and reload it's a pretty strong HT... Enjoy!

The lack of maps, getting the same 5 maps in rotation all day is the reason why I fucking quit. boring as fuck.
