I have had this tank for about 2 years. I am happy with it. is making credits and is not hard to play because of the good gun handling. With a good crew is a good money maker. BUT always keep in mind these: low speed (like Borsig), slow turning, very bad gun depression with the front. The best way is to play sideways or backward. It is like T9 WT. Once you get used to the way the tank behaves you can also go with the meds. You can do good things between buildings or in hilly terrain.
@@PunzL just 4 crew members. Commander, Gunner, Driver, Loader. My crew is 4 skills now. Turbo works well on Borsig but not on this tank :) WG is not very consistent in the last years....too many variables. But I like the tank.
Was a favorite tank of mine back when I was starting out. Fantastic bush mechanic sniper type tank. Keep your butt out towards enemy on corners, fire and run was my tactic of choice for cqb. Do that a couple of times in a row around rocky corners and you win easy. Was probably my first 2 MOE tank. Lost interest in favor of E25 when I got it. Love the speed!
i have 1k games with this tank, this tank is hidden gems in T7 because not many player use this tank and great farm credit to. I use the equipment is Rammer, improved aim, and binocular telescope/coated optics
I liked the Steyer WT during my 2014-2016 years of playing WoT, and also because it has a turret, and not a casemate.and quite a small profile and also quite mobile too.. I have a vague feeling that it was better to fire the gun from the rear, because I think the 'headlights/bulges'' on front could get in the way of the gun depression if swung over them? Plus not a favourite TD back then? I could of course be totally wrong!! ... This replay brings back so many memories........😁
It's a very old TD, it's been setting in my garage since maybe 2014, I had started playing it after all these years with old crew and it's a great trainer for camo value! says that I have played it 106 games and I have only the Masters, max damage was 3394 for one game, it can troll hard.
I have recently purchased this vehicle. In 66 games I have 1.6 dpg with 55% win rate. For comparison I have similar dpg in many tier 8s. Community consensus for this tank is below average/bad but for me it clicked somehow. Great vehicle for some chill out games.
It's one of my favorite tanks in game. The patience knowledge of game and relocation make it deadly sniper. I don't know how could you rate this tank with 2 stars while it's one of most enjoyable tanks to play. The gun feels very nice and camo is amazing, you can just keep tracking incoming tanks and slap them like there is no tomorrow while they can't see you. It can definetely be agressive too when you go with other tanks in the front. The mobility is not so bad because it has no ground resistances. It is just not an easy tank to play, needs alot of skill. I would give it 2 stars for beginning players but for experienced 4-5. And it's not the tank where you can watch tv like you say, you need to be focused like real sniper and pay attention to what's happening on the bettlefield. For me one of most fun tanks to play in the game IMO.
What do you mean by "pre premium nerf credit multiplier?" When did they nerf the credit making ability of premiums? That's their whole purpose, after all.
@@artm1973 on that td I have 4 skills crew + full field mods. I did not noticed any significant improvement when I use turbo. I do not use food because is too expensive and I need credits. Except the new italian line I completed all the lines in the game. Just need some 20 mil credits to buy the last T10...arties.
@@artm1973 the reccomendet setup is proofed as usefull, in the Videos he is trying diffrent Setups to check out if there are other ones to recommend, thats how it looks like to me
@@thomasritzinger5782 Sometimes in his videos he recommends a completely different setup than what he recommends on his page. In his video for the Defender his suggested equipment is completely different than what the tank's page suggests you use.
I've had this tank for a few years now, but feels like it got over-crept massively. Its firepower is real MEH for t7 TD these days, 203 std pen/237 gold pen/low alpha & poor DPM. Gun handling sounds good on paper but suffer from WG's German Tank accuracy treatment, it rarely hits bullseye (your experience may vary). So I do find myself needing to find a flanking position, especially when not top tier. But its mobility is bad, even with Turbo, it's still meh. It's hard to relocate, and when spotted & being chased down, hard to run away. One thing I'm not sure is if it still has the old mechanics whereas TD's did not lose camo rating after firing behind bushes? I thought they only remove that from non-prem TD's, but I feel like I do get spotted after firing in bush, unless of course I play safe and move back from the bush til it is opaque before firing. I do admit I'm not using the typical recommended equipment - I have Imprv Aiming, Turbo, Gun Rammer - to try to make up for its shorting comings: being RNG trolled all the time, poor DPM and mobility.
Yeah the thing with the camo after firing nerf is that it occured before the release of the WT. tanks like the SU-122-44 or the E25 were added when all TD's had this feature, and were not nerfed alongside all other TD's because of WG's policy to not nerf premiums.
@@nougan_gamer It's sad that this didn't get the 280 dmg buff like the Panther 2, Panther 8,8cm and E50's long 88mm but I guess it's not tier 8 and above, it wouldn't get the same treatment.
Finally wg is making every crew come with free sixth sense. This is what I've been saying for so long. Because new players don't understand the game mechanics and this will help us all
I have to totally disagree with hellcat comparison. Hellcat is hell of a fun to play. Risky AF but well played can be so good. I have 3moe 5k games with it, still holding over 90% moe. And speed is very, veery a thing to consider.

I just watched the IS-4 you posted today, 18Sep2022 and are checking this play now. This vehicle has .32 accuracy. IS-4 has .4. The problem is that IS-4 hits just the center shot after shot and this vehicle can't hit shit near the center. It is just ridiculous the fucking fake stats this game has.
Skillman, for the game in me I won’t play a tank that can’t be pivotal in battles. Even given it’s camo values and gun - to have to treat a TD like an arty is a tough love. The camo value is only as good as tracing where the vehicle is shooting from as indicated by a setting. Your huge yawn says it all.
Nothing against those who play. Same boring maps with same bushes to hide behind not for me. Until new maps for all tiers available not bothering to log in. Bored of it.

I actually like this tank more than the scorpion.
This tank has cheap ammo and pre premium nerf credit multiplier, so you can just print money with it.
What do you mean by "pre premium nerf credit multiplier?" When did they nerf the credit making ability of premiums? That's their whole purpose, after all.
This is the only gameplay on index page from this tank in the year of the lord 2024.02
i always thought that this tank was a tier 8, guess i was wrong
still like this tank. I wonder how it would be with a turbo. I haven't changed up my equipment on it ever. too bad T7 suffers so greatly anymore.
Better with turbo BUT still not mobile enough for nowadays' WOT... :/
I try with turbo. Is not great. I think the ground resistance is the issue. But turbo is good with Borsig :)

Germans did a car who can also be driven in the see hahah incredible great video i like this tank the first premiun that i buy with my own money
Why do you have it listed as a bad tank and not an average tank at least? It is good at what it is designed to do.
it should be lower tier... if it was it would be okay or good.
