It's very situational tank, not so agile. I dont think so it's OP. U have a game which is very good but than u have quick game or map where u just can't do so much for the team.
I think it falls apart if the T32 goes as ham as the Obj 277 on the other side. Maybe QB and friendly 277 can kill him before he gets behind QB but this still allows the rest of the push to continue. If he does get behind QB it's over. I guess that's part of what makes it good though, it's literally the shock and indecision of enemy team when the turtle pops up on the flank that wins it.
I would definately have flanked the turtle and not sit in front of it not like these bad players but i have to admit that location is so op i already used it a couple of times
What is even funnier is that quickbaby not long ago posted a video of a centurion i think dont remember staying in that corner in ambush, and quickbaby just rushed it and killed it, dont remember what tank he had. Edit: I fucking found it,, the video title is "Why the MAUS is the ULTIMATE tank".
That is because 9/10 the 277 doesn't fall back, and the other teammates don't join in and anyone in QBs position would have just got rushed by like 3-4 tanks there, there were just enough guns there to make effective and he had some scary DPM which always puts people off if they are taking damage that quickly which can stop the yolo rushes. But most WOT teams are so awful you are likely to be alone or maybe with 1 tank in that sort of situation and the horde just swarms you.
@@jimmybean6090 so you want him to stay quiet about the elephant in the room??? Not informing the community about broken game mechanics isn't good for the average gamer.
You can literally pinpoint the moment the game started nosediving. When they added the t8 heavy tank premium trio. The Patriot, Liberte and the Russian abomination. All of which were better than their premium and tech tree peers. Ever since then the amount of stupidly armoured new additions to the game that are horrible to play against sky rocketed and they proceeded to slap armour on to nearly every already existing t10 gun dep medium also
Letting people buy premium with silver singlehandedly removed armour tanking as a concept, the only things that get to be invincible now are the premiums or the newest tier 10 that have 8000 mm of armour everywhere and it's all rounded with no weakspots
There's one thing that keeps the turtle balanced, and that's playing against tier 9s and 10s. Which is 80% of games when playing tier 8 now. It has the same problem all of the assault tier 8s do. Great armor for the same tier, but useless armor against higher tiers, especially if you're not hull down.
Im a free to play player who got this thing for free during the tresure vault thing last patch. Im not complaining lol. After a "drive forward and die" stock game with 75% crew, I hop in this and feel what its like on the other side of the fence
Its always the case In Videos of content creators that I get really fucking confused on how they got such muppets as enemies. For me its one out of 100 games that I have such "paid actors" if not even like 1 in 200 games. Normal for me is 80 percent of my enemies firing gold and hitting the most stupid pixel shots at my weakspots.
@@stunt95hstdt89you also don’t play 80 games a day to roll the dice for these scenarios. Also when given, you probably to capitalize it to the fullest as well unless you’re 60%+ players
The change made to turtle push it in line with other assults premium TD TS-5. All the thing they buff, make closer to the stats of TS-5. If look at the stats before Turtle and TS-5 they close to each other in stats with TS-5 better of the 2 tanks over all. We see a lot more TS-5 on the battle field by about 6k more battles which 52% win rate as well, does more avg damage per game. Now we see these two assault tank more inline with each other. 8,8 cm Pak 43 Jagdtiger another assault TD could use a buff as well. I'm not sure on a few of the other assault TD classes, since I don't own them
now think again. less played, not less bought. If they sell it now or within a month, MAYBE you are onto something. Otherwise,yes, it was seldomplayed, as its (and many, afaik QB aswell complained) far to slow for the current meta. So it was buffed. They should have left it with the speed buffs for the moment,but should still be OK. Its not like there is no OP tier 8 premiums that were sold recently...
Im sick and tired of the constant increase in mobility of the super heavy tanks in this game, it makes no sense. Crazy armor was ok when i could isolate a heavy and circle it to death in a medium. Equipment needs to segregated by class as well. no TD should be using a durabillity device or turbo. no medium tank should be using exhaust and cvs, no heavy should be using turbo or optics of any kind. The classes mean nothing at this point because every tank does everything.
I have been very 'lucky" to play against you in this video series in the juicy VK. I am not a good player whatsoever, but as you said, the turtle is bonkers now. I hope I wont have to fight another for a while :D
I can understand that speed buff but not the others. After buffing every tanks speed to an amount that does not force you to spend 6 minutes to get to the fight while the games only last 3,5 minutes. I get the point that the speedbuff has a lot more implications then getting into the fight but with ever other tank getting faster and faster being limited to 20 is extremly annoying. I think they should have given that speed buff, non of the other buffs and maybe nerft the visionrange or DPM a tad to compensate (or any other aspect I have forgotten)
TS-5: Much better armor, better speed, almost identical DPM, better alpha, more HP, better camo. Is better in almost every single way. Wargaming: We should probably give the turtle something better than the TS-5 or at least make it above average like the TS-5 QB really needs to stop letting his emotions guide his opinions so much. He calls the Turtle "So darn fast" and says the new British medium tanks "can't get around quickly" while going 65kph.
This is such a bad take. TS-5 is OP (as much as turretless TD can be OP...) so bringing Turtle to its level was a bad idea. It was already a very good TD - just boring because it was slow. Bumping its top speed to a more reasonable level (25 km/h is still slow but not painfully-near-obsolete-slow) was the only buff it needed.
Premium tanks were never supposed to be flat better than tech tree tanks. Funny how the community has just accepted the power creep over the years for the sake of monetization.
@@antinotice QB literally says in this video "The TS-5 is only good from a gold perspective and when your opponents sit in front of you", Meanwhile shows his top matches where that is exactly what happens in all 3 of his matches with players who playing awfully in the tier 10 matches. I am not saying the Turtle isn't a great tank now but QB's opinion and reasoning is a pretty hot take.
I think you're 100% wrong. I didn't like playing the turtle before; it just sat in the garage. The side armor is still bad, it's lower plate is still bad, T10 still pen straight in.
Just a reminder that this entire game would be impossible in an AT15. Turtle mk1 even before buffs was already better in all the ways that actually mattered. Average premium tank just being a tier 10 but downtiered.
"As more players are aware of what the Turtle is capable of..." QuickyBaby... you are making more players aware. Dang, now the cat is out of the bag :)
Don’t worry, luckily he gave bad advice such as not running turbo, which means its no bigger threat than it was last patch… I don’t know what in qb’s mind is prompting him to choose vents over turbo or before this patch vents over hardening… the extra track hp, full track repairs along with more hp is way better than what vents can offer you and now the extra top speed but more importantly reverse speed is way more valuable than some vents
@@kasparpaukson3543 I guess you didn't watch the part where he talks about the turbo, but it's alright. The good thing is that everyone can play the game to their preference/gamplay style.

I can't say I see the appeal of turbo unless I utilize the extra HP or the forward speed in a meaningful way (one exception being the swedish TD-s, because it changes the siege mode as well)
They should buff tanks like CDC. Basicly if i see that on the field already brings a smile on my face. That one has trash pen, low dmg/shot, armour is like a cocacola can. Even tier 6 light can pen on any angle
I use to dread playing my turtle because of the terrible shell velocity. So different from every other vehicle I couldn't snipe. I feel that's all it needed. But man I played a few games after your stream yesterday and they were all much more enjoyable. I'll definitely get back to working towards the tier X now that I enjoy the premium.
This is an overreaction about the balancing of this vehicle. The Tortoise at Tier IX is more formidable than this is, even when it sees only Tier VIIIs. This armor on this tank is still abysmal against Tier IXs and Xs.
It's seriously nuts that Wargaming thought a 51% WR tank needed buffing at all. Remember, given the existence of draws, "average" WR in World of Tanks is roughly 49%. But they didn't just buff it, they took an already above-average performing vehicle and *giga-buffed* it. The Turtle is now overall *better* than the Tortoise until you unlock the Tortoise's top gun. And the Tortoise is the *best* Tier 9 tank destroyer in terms of winrate, WN8, damage per game, and damage blocked. Frankly, now that this buff has gone live and presumably will never be revered, Wargaming should move the Turtle up to Tier 9 and give it the HP pool appropriate to that tier. If they want a replacement Tier 8 British TD, go with a "Tortoise prototype" using the stock 32-pounder (which is the IRL Tortoise's only gun).
QB, in your honest opinion... Do you think one of the Turtle's direct competitors, the TS-5 should be nerfed as well? It has very comparable stats (mobility and armor) to where the Turtle Mk 1 stands now. (Forgive me if you answered this in your video. I have yet to watch the entire thing.)
Keep in mind you are asking a guy who once played one of the halloween game modes without reading how to play the mode, then called it boring and confusing when he couldn't figure it out in his "official review" of the game mode.
I have had the Turtle 1 since 2021? I bought it to crew train my British crew when I was grinding thru to the Badger. Haven't played it since the buffs. Must give it a go again I reckon.
2km/h and 5km/h will make it tierX???? wtf? i played it before the buff and after, the firing rate and penetration is now so much better, but the mobility is in no way even noticable better...
if you see how it will sell soon, you won't think that WG messed up ;) and you are currently advertising it now I still ripped a lot turtles the last day... I dont see a problem
Overall I agree with QB's message. Tanks like these aren't solutions to the 15-3 simulations that we get everyday. It seems that WG still have their head in the sand when it comes to balancing and are rather prioritizing their money making capacities rather than their integral game health and balancing.
take these battles with a grain of salt as to whether or not it was "overbuffed". the first battle was tier 8's, and it was driving up a hill so the speed changes weren't even observable here because they didn't buff it's HP/t, nor terrain resistances just the top speed. its pen was buffed, which is still low end for TD's anyways as the TS-5 has the same top speed but with even more pen and better armor.
I disagree, Turle is an assult TD, other wide used assault TD is TS-5, these changes place Turle now at par with TS-5, with TS-5 still be better overall.
I think its important to consider that QB is not an average player, so he is able to exploit buffs to their maximum, while your average player like myself, probably wont notice a huge difference.
90-95% of the content that enters the test server goes through unchanged. Why did the 56 TP have to be in the 5-10%? The only mission marathon I ever grinded :
WG wants to sell more Turtles. 100% the reason. They are nerfing tech tree TD's and buffing Premium TD's. They are making so obvious anymore and don't give AF. They care about $$$ and that is it. Lets see if the Turtle goes on sale soon. I'll bet. 🤘😎 Tankers
Not a mistake, they will sell a boat load of these premium tanks. Second point… of course this tank goes faster in the water than on the land, it’s a Turtle 😊
The game meta, seems to be using the number of games played, as the profit margin. An algorithm, must have shown this. Total money hoarding, gangster move. But that is Cyprus.
I think QB missed something here. Dispersion while moving and while track traverse were also buffed from 0.25 to 0.18 each according to tanksgg Edit: oh he finally mentioned it at 16:25
None of those battles were impacted by the buffs. Does going faster make a difference sure but the armor and gun are pretty much unchanged. Tank has always been a sleeper that no one wants to play because it is slower than most tanks in the game. It’s popularity will go up because of the buff to its speed but nothing that is game breaking. I am not going to rage every time I see a turtle on the red team like I do with I see a 279e and pretty much know the results of the battle are predetermined!
I got this tank from the last Treasure Trove event and it's my only tier 8 premium. I stuck the bond turbo I got from the event on it so it can go zooooooom and even turn corners against enemies without the need for a turret. (I have durability also instead of vents) That being said I ended up losing more probably because I got overconfident and people are more aware how to pen it.
As a tortoise player the only thing I hate about turtle mk1 is its dispersion when moving. Seems like WG is always in love with assualt tank destoryers but every time WG fails to balance them!
I agree that WG overbuff this tank but I disagree that it WAS OKAY before the buff. This thing was simply trash before. It had nothing than good DPM. Many tier 8s can pen its superstructure with gold, its armor is not that good, especially when it has to constantly peek as its DPM comes from its reload and not its alpha. 1400 HP is not a lot, take a few hits and you're already fartable. Now with the mobility and gun reliability buff, it's definitely way better, more people will bring it out, it will gain more respect from the community. What does this mean? This means more people will spam gold when they see a Turtle on the enemy team. I farmed a few Turtle yesterday with my Iron Arnie, and I can tell you that the Turtle's armor is like cheese when you have 300 pen. It's faster but still slow and unflexible. The main reason why its winrate was higher than avg and will be a lot higher than avg is because it is an Assault TD that plays in frontline instead of sniping like traditional TDs. Anything that can play aggressively (either it has armor or can spot or has a clip) has better winrate than anything that has to rely on teammates (to be able to snipe from the back), it's just how the game works right now. So, it's obvious that WG fcks up once more, they overbuff another tank, but not to that gamebreaking level. The Turtle is still bad when you're in a bottom-tier game. The difference is that it will destroy lower tier tanks more often as it now can reach its food with that 30 km/h top speed (with a Bounty Turbo). Do not expect that you can take your Turtle out and meet a lot of tourists like you see in this video. WoT players are very wealthy and they will not hesitate to give you their number 2 keys.
Ah yes balancing a bonkers OP premium tank with another bonkers OP premium tank. No wonder tier 8 tech tree tanks have such a horrible win rates, when they have to meet premium tanks like this that should frankly be at tier 9.
@@Donanzador what do you expect bro? It's WoT in 2023, and I was talking purely about gameplay. I hate WG just as much as you do if not more. But we can't change shit. If you still enjoy the game then you have to adapt to it, that's just how it goes. Btw, the Iron Arnie is a very strong tank but not that OP. I marked it, I know its strengths and weaknesses, and I can tell you that the tank is pretty limited. It's good for farming heavily armored sluggish tanks like the Turtle, but other than that, it's not very reliable, and you can't make many mistakes as its HP is very low for a HT. Yes, it's fundamentally a HT.
advice buying the german heavy the tech tree 45.02 P . I have the 2nd tier 8 gun unlocked. how is the best way to grind to unlock the guns without earning 55kxp without just sucking. The gold pen on the gun is 244. help
Would you be pleased if WG were to do this with every other older premium tank out there, as well as nerfing them after a while instead of premium spam we get nowadays? Lets say Among +100 tier 8 premiums there would always be a relevant 20, but different each year, how does that sound?
There are many problematic tanks: My highest DPG tank is cobra. And I have games against heavies on corridor maps which are instantly lost I can pen one shot and end with 600dmg, they are not rare. But there are games where I have 4k damage not even knowing where I got it. It's like getting into abbey monastery, having standard b pushing and boom-boom-boom-boom, 1700dmg in 6 seconds. In my opinion other super problematic tanks are bourrasque (not only it's on par at dpg with progetto, but it's faster, has better camo and replace light tank in tier 10 battles. Then SkodaT56 and Bz176 are very strong as enemies. Bz176 has higher alpha than e100, gun depression, it's faster and armor ... when it's hulldown i don't feel it's worse.
I'm moving up the Brit turtle line, everyone spams gold instantly, bounce nothing. Yes, when your top tier, you own 1 on 1... But so do most tanks. Combination of all the buffs might be pushing it a bit but any one alone wouldn't make much difference
I remember when it was on sales for credits on the black market, but decided not to buy the tank to save for smth else, but what a terrible mistake I did not buying turtle.
This thing just became the best 8 or 10 million credits I spent in the game back when I bought this from the Black Market a few years ago. I don't think it even sold out on the NA server

This TD will be in Christmas Box
oh man, this tank was a mess for so long. Let it shine for a while
10:20 Photobomb! I love it!
QB, in your honest opinion... Do you think one of the Turtle's direct competitors, the TS-5 should be nerfed as well? It has very comparable stats (mobility and armor) to where the Turtle Mk 1 stands now. (Forgive me if you answered this in your video. I have yet to watch the entire thing.)
well, the problem is that nerfing a premium tank ismt really possible unless maybe if its newly buffed
last time, they nerfed a premium, then the players who bought that premium tank sued WG...
@@hcui7456 WG never got sued... It was an outrage that occured with the nerfing on the Type 59. After this, WG never nerfed a premium tank
Keep in mind you are asking a guy who once played one of the halloween game modes without reading how to play the mode, then called it boring and confusing when he couldn't figure it out in his "official review" of the game mode.
I have had the Turtle 1 since 2021? I bought it to crew train my British crew when I was grinding thru to the Badger. Haven't played it since the buffs. Must give it a go again I reckon.
WG buffs Turtle, content creators complain about how OP it is, ppl run out and purchase the tank. Totally brilliant!
Like, what WAS QB's kickback?
finally tank to deal with BZ, still a two shot
I bought it with gold in the in game shop yesterday. It was one of those random offers you get (Fcm 50T, vk 168, etc)
It's not there today.
Worth it now!
Just because you don't like or have the Turtle,
Cry like a quicky-BABY
I think the Turtle deserves all the buffs
it’s now on par with the TS-5
The Turtle was buffed because it was doing poorly in the premium shop.
I can't see it in the Premium Shop.
@@peteshaw2817 it was for sale a few weeks ago.
2km/h and 5km/h will make it tierX???? wtf? i played it before the buff and after, the firing rate and penetration is now so much better, but the mobility is in no way even noticable better...
if you see how it will sell soon, you won't think that WG messed up ;) and you are currently advertising it now
I still ripped a lot turtles the last day... I dont see a problem
Overall I agree with QB's message. Tanks like these aren't solutions to the 15-3 simulations that we get everyday. It seems that WG still have their head in the sand when it comes to balancing and are rather prioritizing their money making capacities rather than their integral game health and balancing.
truth is that there are no such thing as 15-3 simulator, watch less Skill, guy shitting misinformation like mad man
take these battles with a grain of salt as to whether or not it was "overbuffed". the first battle was tier 8's, and it was driving up a hill so the speed changes weren't even observable here because they didn't buff it's HP/t, nor terrain resistances just the top speed. its pen was buffed, which is still low end for TD's anyways as the TS-5 has the same top speed but with even more pen and better armor.
Well this buff of existing premium that is likely to be sold (not gambled) is not the biggest money grab that we have seen from wg
I disagree, Turle is an assult TD, other wide used assault TD is TS-5, these changes place Turle now at par with TS-5, with TS-5 still be better overall.
Balancing is not the same as matchmaking. I agree MM and "unbalanced" matches seems to be a pretty big problem needing focus.
Please upload in 1440p, the quality on YT is so bad for this game :(
Console version got 243 pen on standard rounds, premium rounds got 285 pen but kept the awful shell velocity
I believe console receives the updates later than the pc version so just wait a few months and it might become more like what we saw in the video
Better add that to my troll list
I think its important to consider that QB is not an average player, so he is able to exploit buffs to their maximum, while your average player like myself, probably wont notice a huge difference.
You will on this if you had the old.
90-95% of the content that enters the test server goes through unchanged. Why did the 56 TP have to be in the 5-10%? The only mission marathon I ever grinded :
that ambush was super smart, i would have never thought of that with my stoopid brain
Turtle I is very good rn, AP round has 1050 m/s and premium APCR 1200 m/s. With normal turbo going with 30 straight.
Just got back into the game after a few months this explains why the turtle was able to pen my e3 frontally consistently
Your current equipment is now shown in replay only or also shown after countdown ends?
I was curious about that, or whether it is a mod . .?
@@stevengrace6712 I didn’t notice this display when I was playing yesterday. I’m leaning towards a mod, or an overlay added in post.
I do love my Turtle so I do love her even more now I can be on the flank before the round ends!
WG wants to sell more Turtles. 100% the reason. They are nerfing tech tree TD's and buffing Premium TD's. They are making so obvious anymore and don't give AF. They care about $$$ and that is it. Lets see if the Turtle goes on sale soon. I'll bet. 🤘😎 Tankers
It does seem like you can overmatch the sides by shooting the idler wheel, at least with a 122
Not a mistake, they will sell a boat load of these premium tanks.
Second point… of course this tank goes faster in the water than on the land, it’s a Turtle 😊
The game meta, seems to be using the number of games played, as the profit margin. An algorithm, must have shown this. Total money hoarding, gangster move. But that is Cyprus.
I think QB missed something here. Dispersion while moving and while track traverse were also buffed from 0.25 to 0.18 each according to tanksgg
Edit: oh he finally mentioned it at 16:25
None of those battles were impacted by the buffs. Does going faster make a difference sure but the armor and gun are pretty much unchanged. Tank has always been a sleeper that no one wants to play because it is slower than most tanks in the game. It’s popularity will go up because of the buff to its speed but nothing that is game breaking. I am not going to rage every time I see a turtle on the red team like I do with I see a 279e and pretty much know the results of the battle are predetermined!
Hey QB, could you go over the tanks that were buffed/nerfed that weren't listed?
Tier 8 & 9 Chinese TDs got buffed just like the tier 10.
my guess is they dont look at winrate when buffing premium tanks, but at how well a tank sells
@ 12:11 Must be a Sea Turtle, they’re always faster in the water. 😂
Perfect! This clears the way for the Tortoise nerf now that you can pay for a better result.
Nice Video QB!
Funny this Turtle thought he was going to ambush a Tortoise, he kept bouncing, I didn't.
I got this tank from the last Treasure Trove event and it's my only tier 8 premium. I stuck the bond turbo I got from the event on it so it can go zooooooom and even turn corners against enemies without the need for a turret. (I have durability also instead of vents)
That being said I ended up losing more probably because I got overconfident and people are more aware how to pen it.
good job
It was buffed for popularity, they gave out a bunch of turtles from the boxes and no one but me played them.
That ambush was some Napoleon level play
I don't see this tank in the tech tree or the premium shop?
Most case before I am able to fight a turle in one v one in t 103 but now i don't know what to do
WG already announced upcoming S. Conq nerf. Please, elaborate on this
was that also not the problem back then with the type 59 ?
been away for a couple of weeks and finally have the time to get back in the game but now because of this I am reconsidering
WG is usually loathe to nerf a premium tank because people pay for it and then tend to get really mad if the tank is then nerfed.
Unless I am having a senior moment, I can't find the Turtle anywhere in either the tech tree or the premium shop...
As a tortoise player the only thing I hate about turtle mk1 is its dispersion when moving. Seems like WG is always in love with assualt tank destoryers but every time WG fails to balance them!
I agree that WG overbuff this tank but I disagree that it WAS OKAY before the buff.
This thing was simply trash before. It had nothing than good DPM.
Many tier 8s can pen its superstructure with gold, its armor is not that good, especially when it has to constantly peek as its DPM comes from its reload and not its alpha. 1400 HP is not a lot, take a few hits and you're already fartable.
Now with the mobility and gun reliability buff, it's definitely way better, more people will bring it out, it will gain more respect from the community.
What does this mean? This means more people will spam gold when they see a Turtle on the enemy team.
I farmed a few Turtle yesterday with my Iron Arnie, and I can tell you that the Turtle's armor is like cheese when you have 300 pen.
It's faster but still slow and unflexible.
The main reason why its winrate was higher than avg and will be a lot higher than avg is because it is an Assault TD that plays in frontline instead of sniping like traditional TDs.
Anything that can play aggressively (either it has armor or can spot or has a clip) has better winrate than anything that has to rely on teammates (to be able to snipe from the back), it's just how the game works right now.
So, it's obvious that WG fcks up once more, they overbuff another tank, but not to that gamebreaking level.
The Turtle is still bad when you're in a bottom-tier game.
The difference is that it will destroy lower tier tanks more often as it now can reach its food with that 30 km/h top speed (with a Bounty Turbo).
Do not expect that you can take your Turtle out and meet a lot of tourists like you see in this video.
WoT players are very wealthy and they will not hesitate to give you their number 2 keys.
Ah yes balancing a bonkers OP premium tank with another bonkers OP premium tank. No wonder tier 8 tech tree tanks have such a horrible win rates, when they have to meet premium tanks like this that should frankly be at tier 9.
@@Donanzador what do you expect bro? It's WoT in 2023, and I was talking purely about gameplay. I hate WG just as much as you do if not more.
But we can't change shit.
If you still enjoy the game then you have to adapt to it, that's just how it goes.
Btw, the Iron Arnie is a very strong tank but not that OP. I marked it, I know its strengths and weaknesses, and I can tell you that the tank is pretty limited.
It's good for farming heavily armored sluggish tanks like the Turtle, but other than that, it's not very reliable, and you can't make many mistakes as its HP is very low for a HT.
Yes, it's fundamentally a HT.
What is the name of the mod that qb is using? that one that shows the equipment in battle
Great video QB! Could you be so kind to share the name of the mod that you use to show equipment in-game
Where/how do I buy a Turtle? Can't see one in the Premium Shop.
advice buying the german heavy the tech tree 45.02 P . I have the 2nd tier 8 gun unlocked. how is the best way to grind to unlock the guns without earning 55kxp without just sucking. The gold pen on the gun is 244. help
They had to speed it up because the average battle was like 3 minutes these days
Would you be pleased if WG were to do this with every other older premium tank out there, as well as nerfing them after a while instead of premium spam we get nowadays? Lets say Among +100 tier 8 premiums there would always be a relevant 20, but different each year, how does that sound?
i'm sure WG would like that. They can sell their old prem Tanks without having to develop new ones.
Is nice to see it chew up a bz 176 though
Idk for me, when I see turtle I think "GOLD GOES BRRRR" and it dies, but we will see
so it is on par with the ts-5 now?
its a turtle, it is fast in water, the flipper is just hidden.
There are many problematic tanks: My highest DPG tank is cobra. And I have games against heavies on corridor maps which are instantly lost I can pen one shot and end with 600dmg, they are not rare. But there are games where I have 4k damage not even knowing where I got it. It's like getting into abbey monastery, having standard b pushing and boom-boom-boom-boom, 1700dmg in 6 seconds. In my opinion other super problematic tanks are bourrasque (not only it's on par at dpg with progetto, but it's faster, has better camo and replace light tank in tier 10 battles. Then SkodaT56 and Bz176 are very strong as enemies. Bz176 has higher alpha than e100, gun depression, it's faster and armor ... when it's hulldown i don't feel it's worse.
"turtle mistake" QB's dad joke xD
I like the Turtle now. Does not feel OP
I like this buff, it doesn’t make the turtle OP. Now it’s playable and more balanced. So I don’t agree with QB this time.
Turtle just become the Younger version of Master Oogway ,
Meanwhile the Tortoise is the Older version with Prime Abilities 😎
I'm moving up the Brit turtle line, everyone spams gold instantly, bounce nothing. Yes, when your top tier, you own 1 on 1... But so do most tanks. Combination of all the buffs might be pushing it a bit but any one alone wouldn't make much difference
Every turtle moves faster in the water than on a normal terrain
Quite happy that I bought it for a few million credits in a black market last year, pays off now :D
The tank could use durability before. You just like vents too much.
Sales numbers said "buff it" cause it wasnt sold well enough showing that wg doesnt give crap about balance or toxic tanks as long as they make money.
I remember when it was on sales for credits on the black market, but decided not to buy the tank to save for smth else, but what a terrible mistake I did not buying turtle.
This thing just became the best 8 or 10 million credits I spent in the game back when I bought this from the Black Market a few years ago. I don't think it even sold out on the NA server
Hey QuickyBaby can you make a video about how to play the Pawlack tank pls?
