I'm sure there are some tanks in his garage that he's played more than a couple times that don't have great win rates. That would be something interesting for him to go through and explain why his win rate is low for that particular tank.
      Just something I thought of when he had his garage open and I saw some tanks with lower than his average win rates.

    I've said it before, the big problem with the HE rework, other than zero damage hits, is the fact that they never improved the accuracy or buffed the alternative gun choices. (Example : E2 Sherman 76mm gets 177mm of penetration with gold rounds, but the HVAP M93 should get 239mm... Like the Firefly, Achilles, etc. 177mm is roughly what the pen should be at 1000 meters. Other tanks at the same tier or even lower get accurate, or better than real penetration
    Meanwhile, the Shermans get arbitrarily balanced penetration, making the alternate guns lackluster at best.)
    As for accuracy, "Now you have to aim" is a hip statement among certain segments of the player base, but with an aim circle that covers half of the bloody map... Well, it's a crap shoot if you will snipe a cupola, or see your shell whizz off the map and land in War Thunder...

    • @makemap
      @makemap 2 года назад +4

      They need to give it the M71 shot which would buff the pen to 132mm and give it the M93 premium rounds. The tier 5 uses the same exact ammo.

    • @dierare
      @dierare 2 года назад +6

      To be fair, almost none of the T5-6 tanks get accurate pen. PzIV's had 140mm starting from the F2 (so the H should have it), the L/70 on the Panther had 198mm pen, not this weird L/100 that's exclusive to WoT, which applies to the VK 30.01H, 30.02D and 30.02M too; the 85mm on the T-34-85 had 148mm pen, Tiger's 88 had 165, so neither the T6 Tigers nor the T7 Tiger are accurate... etc etc
      Not to mention most guns on the tanks that actually existed aren't even accurate. Tiger 2 was never build with a 10.5, M6 never had a 90mm, IS-3 had the same gun as the IS-2, IS-1 never got the 122mm, only the Super Hellcat had a 90mm, not the "normal" one, Su-100 didn't have a 122mm (why would they even call it the Su-100 and not the Su-122 P that actually had it?), etc etc
      Long story short, this game isn't accurate anywhere, it doesn't even try to be, and they're not claiming it anymore these days, either. it's all just balance purposes - the T6 shermans just got forgotten and drowned in power creep, because way back with just regular T-34-85's and VK30.02M's and stuff like that, they were pretty balanced and had actual upsides.
      Not to mention >80% of the vehicles are made up at this point.

      E8 is actually quite good when up tiered. It has decent pen with gold rounds and it has massive DPM. It has decent mobility and most importantly, a lot of gun depression with strong view range. It allows this tank to be flexible and to handle ridge lines well. E8 can peek and DPM down other vehicles little by little. Its vert stabs also allows it to peek and take a shot without much aiming. It makes a really strong and evasive tank. I did not felt as useless as I feel when up tiered with other tanks.

    @eclairamisu2517 2 года назад +6

    I absolutely adored my VK 2801 back in the 105mm days. Before the HE changes you were even able to have great games with standard ammo alone. And the innaccurate gun, poor camo, mediocre view range and big silhouette compared to other lights didn't really hold it back because at least it had that heavy-hitting alpha. You were even able to fight well-armored heavies and thus were more like a scouty medium rather than a pure scout. The main problem with the whole package was the good pen on the premium rounds that basically turned it into a fragile KV-1S on speed.
    The worst part when they took the 105mm was that they didn't give the tank a new (less OP) gun that would've allowed it to perform the same role. A scout gun with good alpha, good penetration and bad DPM & accuracy would`ve made this certainly possible (something like 200 alpha, 160 pen, 1300 DPM, 0.42 accuracy, 2.5 aim time). It would've made brawling with other lights for scouting spots impossible but at least the tank would've kept some of its punch alive.

    15:00 the KV1S has a really interesting history in game...
    It started life at tier 6 where fully upgraded it was just a KV-122
    Then it was replaced with the "KV-85" which could be set up as a historical KV-85, KV-100, or KV-122. At this time the KV-1S was downtiered to tier 5. IIRC stock it was a historical KV1S but it received access to the S-41 howitzer that one prototype received IRL (which was historically suggested to put it on the IS as well) and a turret which I've never seen any historical records of.
    Then they brought it back up to tier 6. Not sure what they changed since I stopped playing the game but it doesn't look like they changed much

    The win percentage has nothing to do with how good a player is Quicky. Many times the losses are 2 to 3 times more than wins, and even though I am normally in the top 5 of the losing team, their metric doesn’t take those stats into consideration. Hit ratio, and damage per game may be better, but if you’re grinding tech tree tanks, and not just playing the same high tier or premium tanks with macked out crews, there’s no way to truly know a players true skill.

    When I started with the Sherman series you had the option of going further up with the easy 8 or the jumbo. I opted for the Jumbo and therefore never drove the easy 8. I used to drive the T40 a lot back then and loved it. I also really enjoyed driving the archer. What challenges do you have if you only ever drive the OP tanks on the respective tiers, such as the T67 or the Hetzer.

    Play the worst tier 5s. I have been grinding the tier 5 soviet SPG to go down the tech tree, and to say i am lucky to be playing the lowest 3 mark req tank in the game and not an actual vehicle to compete effectively against the sealclubbers is an understatement

    When I had to choose between the E8 and E2 I got the E2 cuz it had better armor and ended up with me having the first and only tank I have 3 marks, really fun tank and easy to play back then.

  • @stefannilsson2406
    @stefannilsson2406 2 года назад +1

    15:04 Yes, the KV-1S was T5. It was the start of the IS-7 line. The annoying thing though was that you had to go through the KV-1 to get it. So you played a T5 tank just to unlock another T5 tank. I don't think it required a whole lot of xp though and I think the KV-85 after it was pretty cheap in terms of xp too.

    • @ramjetsr7158
      @ramjetsr7158 2 года назад

      And the T5 has the better turred armor. I really hate the KV-1S.

  • @RedXlV
    @RedXlV 2 года назад +1

    Given how bad the KV-1S is performing and the fact that Wargaming has it on their list of tanks to buff soon, I wonder if it'll get that 122mm gun like on the KV-85. That would bring it back a bit closer to what it used to be.
    The M4A3E8 is also on their list of tanks to buff soon. I'm guessing it'll get improved pen on the top gun, and maybe some improvements to the frontal armor.

  • @kjb9001

    It was nice to hear QB sees the HE nerf patch as one of the worst - I agree, the nerfed HE was the reason I stopped playing. I used to have the most fun in the Jumbo and KV-2. Now the game is like "no fun, only tryhard, waaah"

  • @Naughty_Neko
    @Naughty_Neko 2 года назад

    The M4A3E8 is a fun tank and I enjoy it, but I did not enjoy 3 marking it. My advice for 3 marking it is to run the 105mm with a good balance of HEAT and HE. Intuition is good to have as a crew skill to allow you to switch shells faster. Knowing when to use what ammo is also important. The 105mm has a very short reload so at tier 8, you can try to use HE to track higher tier heavies and get damage assistance.

  • @villelepoaho4105
    @villelepoaho4105 2 года назад +1

    Man, the tier 5 version of the KV-1S with the 122 mm howitzer was a beast. I had my record of 11 kills with it. 150 mm of HEAT penetration with 370 alpha damage was so broken, considering this was before the low tier HP buff.

  • @md.fuelkiller1990
    @md.fuelkiller1990 2 года назад

    Every tank has its characteristics different. Most players just can't adapt to it or don't want to. That's why i quit playing in clans. The only play the popular tanks, but if I was playing with a different tank, they first shouted at me and then in the results most of them where behind me. Tanks shown today are just not easy to use. And E8 is most fun to play with derp gun, it has the armor. Please keep the Series up, very nice format!!!

    It really gets me burned out to see how you equip the tank and i can just see how p2w ammo makes it easy to play the game, i always get in t8 games being t6 and i dont use no premium ammo, you should try it and see how frustrating it can be, and i mean using normal ammo, no skill crew and just one equipment, playing in t8 having a t6. Those are my normal games as a normal player.

  • @1stJohn_3_16
    @1stJohn_3_16 2 года назад

    And this is why I play the worst tanks in the game. Hidden gems and little beasts! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m sure. There are no “bad tanks” just poor drivers. Obviously, if you’re someone who plays like QB here, you’re going to do well in any tank you put yourself in. What a stonking good show you put on for us, sir! Well played!
    My advice to you all is to go onto the collector tanks list and pick a few out that you think might be good. Chances are they will be! A lot of those tanks are actually pretty good crew trainers for your tech tree vehicles. Granted, they won’t make you buckets of credits like a premium would but they’re still great fun!
    Once again, a hearty thank you to you, Mr. Quickybaby! What a great handful of games! And good hunting to all you fellow tankers. Stay safe out there, everyone!

    I never thought that the Easy 8 got such low winrate, i personally find it quite strong since it has the potential, the package is quite strong, even tho the HD remodeling took away a lot of armor, it used to have twice the thickness on the mantlet.

  • @kimgliese2266
    @kimgliese2266 2 года назад +1

    Hi QB, love your videos, but i never write a comment. I felt like i had too. This was a good video, but i feel like the point of the lowest winrate tanks fades away, when you play like you describe it with loads of gold rounds, great crew and all the things a newer player going up the techtree wouldnt have.
    Might do a round where you play stock or allmost, with a 75 or 100 crew instead, to show how a great player like you can overcome that challange.
    Kind regards

  • @nomar5spaulding
    @nomar5spaulding 2 года назад

    Man it hurts me to see how bad the Easy 8 an Jumbo Shermans have become. When the US Medium line came out, me and my friend used to platoon 2x Sherman Easy 8s together and just rush. We almost always died very fast, but it was common to take down 2 or 3 people directly, and support fire from team mates would often knock out 2 or 3 more in the first 2 minutes of the game. Got a LOT of easy, profitable wins that way back in CBT and the initial release of the game.

    Getting back to your parting question, the M4A3E8 was a generalist which is now just mediocre. the Nashorn has to function in an environment that is no longer friendly to bush-camping TDs, the game is just not very friendly to mid-tier heavies as a whole, and the tech-tree VK2801 also just lacks zing.

    • @RedXlV
      @RedXlV 2 года назад

      The M4A3E8 is one of the tanks Wargaming says they'll be buffing soon. The other Tier 6s that are on the list to get buffed IIRC are the Type 58 and KV-1S, while the BUGI and Skoda T-25 are on the chopping block to get nerfs.

  • @seaninness334
    @seaninness334 2 года назад +1

    Well if all tanks were OP... it would be pretty boring. Some of these you have to think harder and work harder to get a good result. As Dirty Harry says, "A man has got to know his limitations". Games where low tier or otherwise crappy tanks put up a good fight are VERY entertaining.

  • @rybackcasey4270
    @rybackcasey4270 2 года назад

    Ohh this video made me remember times when i was completely newbie. The ,,paper armored" sneaky German TD line was my first tech tree which i stepped in, with an uncompromising will to get the mighty Rhm. Borsig Waffentrager, and later on the Grille 15.
    The Nashorn was the first Panzer in the tech tree which i truly enjoyed, its a bit slow, the armor won't save you from anything, but the camo is good, and the gun handling is actually decent, penetration and also its DPM cool. So overall i think one of the best tier 6 tech tree TD, in my opinion currently only the Hellcat and Su-100 are better. I got the learn basic Tank Destroyer stuffs with good old Nashorn... :)
    After this video, maybe i take this old ,,animal" (Nashorn means Rhino in German) for a couple of battle and strengthen its average win ratio for a rather desired place.
    Thanks for the great content you doing tirelessly for our entertainment QuickyBaby, You rock!

    As far as I know, the only other Tier 6 vehicle that can use VStabs is the Firefly (and the Firefly VC). The regular Firefly actually has a reasonable WR, probably because of it's better accuracy, alpha, aim time, shell velocity and ridiculous penetration.
