I remember when grindinf forever to get to tier X actually meant it was WORTH getting to tier X. I could give two intensely odious farts in an exceptionally strong windstorm about statistics or winrate. I started playing WOT in 2012 because it was fun. And I still play it for fun and only shoot regular ammo. I have to play right handed only (lrft side is paralyzed now) so I only play SPG's now, AND I still find it fun. It's a GAME. I will freely admit I suck, but I DON'T CARE. It's FUN dammit.
Good, thx :) I fixed my bag and my mouse :) Bad, I played my fav artys a couple of hours - felt like none of the equipment or skills worked, lol - "No fun for you!" LOL Good, because I ended up making some music - balance in the my Universe have been re-established by that - and a good WoT video :P
Hey Claus - YES! I worked my butt off grinding my way to the WT, and it was only one of the few Tier X tanks I had. After all that, I managed to play it for only a few weeks before THEY (multiple expletives deleted) removed it and substituted the Grille 15. That experience is one of the primary reasons I've given up grinding any of the tech tree lines and now play predominantly Premium tanks. At least until the apocalypse, premium tanks seem to remain untouchable after release. And yes, premium tanks cost real $$, but at my age, the dollars I have in my pocket are much more real than what I might get after months of grinding.
Just "a little tweak" to a probability distribution can have a big effect. I used to think Claus was crazy about them adjusting invisible statistics such as the "sigma" but I'm pretty sure Wargaming just views it as a balance tool.
It's always interesting to see what English speakers make of German words that end in "e". Either the "e" is completely ignored, as with "Porsche" (what really hurts!) or, as in the case of Claus, it becomes a French "é" or "ey". 😂
The commander of the IS-7 had just polished that pike nose of his tank to make shots slide off of the nose. I used to polish my helmets so while riding my motorcycles I didn't get a sore neck from the drag caused by the wind I was going through. I rode for thirty years. I learned all the tricks. I rode wear round, and in the rain.
I had Improved Aiming on both the RhmBorsig and the WTAufPz4 and it made the aim circle tiny yet changed nothing as far as accuracy and penetrations. When it's your time to get trolled a lot, you will get trolled no matter what equipment you are using.
thats interesting to hear from a console WoT player perspective on the waffentrager auf e-100, it never got removed on console the grille 15 was just an extra tank added later that everyone could grind to, however the waffle was nerfed heavily from a 6 shot clip down to 4 with a longer reload, longer aiming speed and poorer gun handling which saw a lot less people running them to the point where you may see just 1 every 4 or 5 games on your team, really enjoying your content 🙂
Hey dazt, what you describe is basically how it went down on WoT. As Claus described it, I too remember the long grind to get the beast with the autoloading 6-shot magazine. It was not an easy TD to play. It took time and many games to get the proper feel for it. After my long grind I finally was able to purchase mine. A week later WG nerfed the magazine to 4 shots. Soon thereafter they removed it from the game. My stats on the tank were awful because I didn't have enough time to master it. But when it had the 6-shot mag and the WoT Gods let the right situation form OMG. With the 6 shots it felt like you could instantly destroy the entire opposing team. It was a KV-2 like experience on steroids! Just a tad OP. 😎
@@darby5987 agree 100% with that, it was a tank to be feared with 6 shots but now on console it's rarely seen (nerfed it probably 2 years ago now), it seems the main difference between the pc and console arms of war gaming is that on console they don't remove tanks they just nerf them into oblivion to reduce their use and because the console team are american based there isn't the same heavy russian bias that i see a lot of on pc, i never overly enjoyed the waffle but once it was nerfed to 4 shots it became more of a chore than a pleasure to play and most players would just go straight in and get their 4 shots off and call it a game 🙂
The part that pisses me off about removing the WTE100 is that every other Tier10 "OP" TD was made available in the shop or you got to keep it if you already had it.
@@HeinzGuderian_ quite clear you never played old 263 or didn't appreciate it. Tier 9 263 has only one thing that's the same, armor. While that's even better at tier 9, the true fun in old 263 was the dpm, gun handling and mobility combination which got massacred completely and ruined the one unique fun but balanced td line back in the day. And while 268v4 is better, it's just a generic extremely boring td gameplay
@@alexanderstoyanov7464 the point is, you didn't lose the vehicle. The WTE100 is the ONLY one that was removed. All others were not only kept, but in fact given free replacements on top of them.
@PorkusPie Of course he's serious. Not everyone is a fun sponge like you. People actually enjoy themselves and enjoy watching this channel! So many things that are ignorant in your comment. You're becoming a joke of the community!
First shot from the Grille was a curve ball... Go figure... Second game was a brawl with 2 seconds of terror at the end... Almost... 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🔥 Pz.kpfw is shorthand for Panzer Kampf Wagen, which translates to Armored Battle Vehicle/Wagon...
Wow Claus, greatest video ever made by the most smartest youtuber ever. and you know the smartest people. and you have the most followers of all time, I saw them crowded around the screen. you were great. you single handedly made WOT great again! Good job! This should be in all CAPS but I just can't do it.
Ah, Claus. Uri said when Western capitalists calculate standard deviation of shot they fail to apply "H" factor. "H" is the Hand of Stalin reaching up from the furnace of hell to guide the shot to victory. And kens was correct - you must also carry the 3.
I got the Waffle E100, as I recall it was a glass cannon. the hull was uber strong but the over 1/2 the tank was the gun and covering structure which was warm butter
18:05 Arty blamed the Pz.pkfw for getting hit. Honestly, Arty should be responsible for accuracy. Nobody is going to pay attention to what your team mates pointing at, unless you drive right in front of their barrel.
_*"The Grille 15 is my baby and one of only 3 tanks I play these days. But HOLY SHIT is it a troll....."*_ I play strictly SPG's anymore since my stroke. It's the only tank I can kinda, sorta play one handed.
Wtaufe100 was my 1st tier 10 tank, big and heavy as a house but devastating. Although reload time was 43 seconds I think. I played couple of games, then they replaced it with grille. Thx
I have stopped grinding any lines several years ago. As soon as I got to tier IX or tier X, the tank was buffed. e.g. the Progetto medium line and the Object 430U line. Every time ti had been a painful, months long complete waste of my time. I now mostly play some premium tanks and even that is an overstatment, I mostly now watch Claus' channel. The changes being made by WG in the last few years are intended to get more and more people with less and less skill to play the game.
We called it the Waffle Maker E - 100 back then, we weren't happy about the Grill 15, after the T -59 nerf also. Just bought the thing back from selling it long ago, I use a net and knocks with mine plus a zooming device.
No sounds❗ And the penalty begins when you are fully aimed❗ The Russian maths is to make a $ useless, but the $ is still stronk even costs 0 and is just a peace of paper❗🤣😂🤣😂🤣
something was wacky with the sound on this one, and I have not gotten a Grille, and likely wont based on the downsides, and I am a bad player... Good video (Minus sound issue)...
Mine Wt Auf E 100 was robbed and they pushed over me without my consent this piece of shit called Grille 15 and not happy they nerfed this shit a bit after. These people is too much dishonest.
I got it....had it for like 2 months and then WG took it away and gave me a shit Grille!!!! WG sure know how to fuck there customers over....not the only time its happened or something similar!
I have RUSSIAN MATH in every fucking game 😂. In my T55A I shot a tank up the ass, fully aimed, 330mm pen, no damage... I P4F, no money spent, no WoT+, I guess there is "leach" factor in the MM and RNG😮
Dear reasonably sane but humoristic Canadian gamer and tuber and good evening there! Wargaming should externalize their RNG servise and programming to ... probably any where else, other than China and North Korea as sometimes nothing that you do, and way too often I mean, doesn't work as intended, but shells fly to the heavens above or don't pen even on Tier 10 match when shooting a Grille 15 or sometimes the shell just dissapeares. Fisrst sing of 'Bad Moon Rsing' is from the start with the line up and if you use XVM or something similar, the disparety between teams can be humangous... not even close and after your well trained crew and laser accurate tank staying still cannot hit or nothing happens at all... something is wrong. It is perfectly understandable from the games and WG's sake, that this game should get new players every day, but it cannot be done by tooling RNG and match making... That is a fraud. I understand that at early hours there are a lot children playing this game and some of them, as I have sometimes used the in game team speak are not even first graders??? My solution to this was years ago, to put also on random que different cathegories like first the age and them the skill level. No one, no onen want's to be in a 5 minute game where the other team wins like 15 to 1-3. All this could be very entertaing like in past in this British legendary and almost insane skit show called 'Fast Show'... There was absolutely no sense at all in that show, but it was inteded that way. But most of the player base don't wan't their games to seem like that... and that is a big difference.. One good example of how young people play this game as one person called 'Otto' after a game where in somehow shined, send me a a friend request and I will take those... time will tell and so on... But as we platooned later on and used team speak, at that time if I rebember correctly, discord, after the first Hi I realized that this wasn't a 'slow' person, he was just a child and when I asked his age, he was 8... I hope other than you Claus will also see where I am going with this, but thanks for your sometimes hilarious videos! Keep going Canadian and remember feed Marty that he won't accidentally eat you some day...

" but Cb, how do you know?" Well in all the times I have played, And all the accounts never won against his team, nor have ever been on his team. Always hits, always penns, always high damage. Always.
This game just keeps getting more and more skewed every day. Blatantly causing well aimed kill shots (or shots on russian/chinese overlord tanks) to deviate into everything but where you pointed. No fun for you!
I was the arty at the end. I was amazed he didn't kill me and at the time I said to myself, crazy Russian math!

The weekend I had was great! How about all of you ???
Awww 😊 Claus, mine was also amazing! Thank you! Keep on truckin'!
Good, thx :)
I fixed my bag and my mouse :)

Good, because I ended up making some music - balance in the my Universe have been re-established by that - and a good WoT video :P

The North American pronunciation is correct because there are more of us on the Internet.

12:40 ... I paused the video and went back to check. He has the "pink" improved aiming (bounty equipment) on this Grille.
Hey Claus! The sound of the game can almost not be heard. The volume is so low.
Great video non the less. :)
I had Improved Aiming on both the RhmBorsig and the WTAufPz4 and it made the aim circle tiny yet changed nothing as far as accuracy and penetrations. When it's your time to get trolled a lot, you will get trolled no matter what equipment you are using.
Statistics + statistics + statistics + RNG = RNG.
I really needed to laugh today. Thanks Claus. I appreciate you.
27:37 ... the FV has fired three shells into the cap and this is why the Lorraine is pinging A-7, the direction of the incoming shells.
Claus in Russian math you have to carry the 3 lol.
Absolutely right, kens. 🤠
New drinking game.... every time Claus says "OR!" You take a drink of your preferred beverage.

On grille you cannot mount V Stabs but a IRM. Imo IRM is kinda mandatory for a better performance. I played grille aggressive while I marked it.
If he had been firing Gold he would have penned. Russian math 🤣
Hope you're having an absolutely fantastic day
Reference? 🎺
The Grille deserves being mean to. 'German Accuracy' at its finest lol

That arty driver liked classical not rock.
WG could fuckup a wet dream, and they do.
ARE YOU UNBURNDENED BY WHAT HAS BEEN CLAUS?
The Grille 15 should have A PCR, not slow HEAT
They built a tank called the Grille - why not build one called the Barbeque?!
Why would they?
Roasting crickets was not a thing back then. In Asia yes, but not in Germany.
I quit playing for a couple of years because of the WT Auf E-100. Getting killed in 6 seconds in a Maus time after time did it for me.
the WTE was so fun.

So …are there any non Ruski tanks with a “double secret sigma” that is profoundly better than its published stats?
Is this guy the equipment manager? LMAO
Alright Trump, come down off your 'proverbial High Horse', lol! Great vids as usual!
The audio for the game is very low.
Hold on a minute, since when does the Pz VII have 276 pen, that's monster pen

I would love to know what module was hit on that arty.
Hey man fix the game sound, sounds tinnie? Other than that, keep up doin what ya do man!
something was wacky with the sound on this one, and I have not gotten a Grille, and likely wont based on the downsides, and I am a bad player... Good video (Minus sound issue)...
I think heavily armored TDs are much more noob friendly so I recommend stuff like the Japanese Ho-Ri or US T110E3.

T8 would apply while T9 is underperforming compared to the T10 and T8 rn

Always hits, always penns, always high damage.
Always.

The French stuff is the worst....
The penalty is buying the Grille in the first place.

This game just keeps getting more and more skewed every day. Blatantly causing well aimed kill shots (or shots on russian/chinese overlord tanks) to deviate into everything but where you pointed. No fun for you!
new name for wg, SCAM GAMMING and the moto should be, we lie and lie more
wg went down the road that they will never make this game good again,
I must say....this was a shi*t*ty video Claus😅
If they add a Bradley in this game the Russian tanks are fucked.
Wargames, pays players to make sure gold spammers win...
