So, in this new weather addition, you can see Mountains, rocks fences, individual blades of grass, but you cant see a massive tank, seems logical to me, good job WG, yet another game breaker...
WG keeps screwing up by not making Kellerman a special commander ever and now he was left out of the Holiday Ops video again. He is a gold mine, a Canadian treasure. WG listen up. We want a, no wait, we NEED a Claus Kellerman commander. A no BS commander. Kellerman for president and 🤘😎 tankers.
you made the right choice, do no go back, i lost so many brain cells, i raged so much in the game that i had multiple nose bleeds i think most of my neurons are fried from how stressfull and unfun the game is, i even cried. i a grown man cried because of how bad the game is, im a sore loser and losing 33 matches and only winning 7 times hurts my soul on another level. like i dont want to win easy games, i just want a fun balanced game that rewards skill. this "game" does not
@@soldier22881 sounds absolutely more like you have other serious issues you never paid attention to for all your life. Hope you get your things straight. Dont blame a game for obvious serious issues you have.
This mechanic would be good in only one exception, when you dont see the HUD of enemy tanks but the tanks are still visible but without knowing if those tanks are enemy or friend. :D But mechanics for visible tanks without HUD on them its unbeliveable perspektive for WG....
I think the whole making tanks literally invisible thing in WoT is silly. I mean, I get having detection mechanics, where they show up on radar or not. But if you're literally staring at the position the tank is at with your eyes and the tank is invisible, that just doesn't make sense.
Claus , in Belgium you do not get the boxes. It is not available because they see it here as gambling. Wargaming give's the information ' not available in your country'. just for your information.
you shouldnt be giving these greedy evil devs any money to begin with, infact id recomend stop playing the game its literal pay to win with 0 balance, if youre free to play like me enjoy losing 33 matches each day just to double exp 7 tanks
JT88 was a huge credit/XP generator. It even had the added benefit of doing damage and getting kills. The good old days. Claud just gave Yuri the next gift box tank...T-103-2.
What they should've done with the fog mechanic is make everything foggy, you can ONLY see clearly up to 60 metres, ONLY silhouette's of tanks past 60 metres, turn team damage on and this also shows on the mini-map. This way you have no clue who's silhouette you're looking at (enemy/ally,) until you get close enough to see them clearly. And team damage just for the lols to stop people from just shooting at everything (even though it wont stop them).
SU-2-122 is one of my favorite tanks. I think its hilarious. Biggest issue is learning to take the 1 shot from time to time lol I'm over eager to get the double booms. My guy Avro and Walrus can attest to me giggling constant while I "skadoosh" other tanks in this beast.
I know you have alot of fans. But need to speak to you. You the man that kinda saved me. Stress.. but i need also link to speak learn about yourself when recording is on.. Jan from Denmark. Biggest fan Claus K... love your personality.
When I First got my Panther M10 Gold Tank it was awesome .. But now it seems to suffer from getting ammo racked . engine nocked out not just 1 time in 4 0r 5 Battles .. but every single Battle .. I think now its just a way to make me spend my credits on repair kits..
old pay to win tank, thats how they make people buy new pay to win tanks by disabling pay to win rng or making them bonds aka removing pay to win rng so that the new real money tanks win all the time. pay to win game
I got that SU-2-122 as a gift from my clan leader, or he gave each active member a bunch of gift boxes or something... I played that tank twice. The shell velocity is so slow with horrible dispersion that it's only good for shooting close-up enemy. But everything seemed to pen the armor of this thing that the time it takes to double-shoot both gun you are dead. I sold it shortly thereafter. I've seen it a few times on the battlefield since I sold it, but very rarely. It does make a good target when playing in your SPG, so that's a positive about it.
This game pissed me off. They let you play a few rounds and then start throwing your starter tank into games with tanks that will 1 shot kill every time.
So it does 450hp of damage to anything same tier or lower with a 9 second reload (with your crew maxed and gassed up)... but as balance it can also do 900hp, and can carry two rounds with the partial reload mechanic of the Italians (without the time delay on the second shell). They clearly need a KV2-2, or maybe even a 183-2. For balance.
Double-barrelled tanks exist, I know because i made a PzIV Airfix kit and gave it two x 75mm. It's WOFT. World of Fantasy Tanks, paper tanks with inexplicably good papier mache armour. I want a Wirbelwind, 20mm x 4. We have the flak bus, so why not?
Or the shot actually didn't miss because it is such a slow shell you can actually arc shells over ridges with it, it is almost like firing a spg in direct fire mode. But the shell is much slower than SPG shells.
The first video was hilarious. That tank destroyer was great back in the day and was a great credit maker. You should turn down the volume after the first play and watch it again with the Benny Hill theme song blaring.
@ The day is called Black Friday because today, most retail stores will show a profit for the first time this calendar year. Being in the Black is a term that means making a profit. That is where Black Friday got its name from.
that ostentacious hate of yours for a certain brittish...previously content creator, now a businessman and a wargaming employee i guess...never gets old :D
The 2-barreld tier V TD was available in the lootboxes of X-MasOps 2023/24. You had a high risk to pull this one very early out of the boxes. So it wasn't surely a 25-buck-tank. ;-)
but you can see the 8:32 didnt miss... it has a big arch, but when it starts falling down you can clearly see it hits --- still it had to be one of the luckier RNG shots though with that high dispersion
QB impression almost as funny as the pump the flat tire bit. Never gets old. Play console and got JT 88 for free as an earn op. It’s ok. Nothing special. Not horrible but def no su130pm good. Thanks claus.
I joined the War Thunder closed beta a long time ago then left to play WoTs. I do not regret leaving WoTs a few years ago and going back to War Thunder. Lol
I played this game for like 10years but i havent olayed it in maybe the last 3 or 4. I stopped shortly after the t54/55 was released doing those insainly stupid missions to get it. Maybe ill download it again..and give it a try
Still waiting on WG bringing in new skills like X ray vision for the xmas marathon commander, or radar so that you can see straight through fog, rain, sandstorms etc, all yours for a small fee. Also can't go wrong with the stinky lady
I just played that tank, yesterday. I couldn't pen a progetto, or a Grom, or any other tank I came across. It was brutally bad. But somehow, after I shot 17 times and bounce 16 of them... lost the game, but I made money.
two guns ... 370 .. EACH ... so the individual alpha is already higher than most tier 6s and 7s at tier 5, and there's two of them ... won't be long before Tier 1 premiums have a 800 alpha gun .. in fact that's all it will be is a floating gun ... reloads in 14 seconds ... the excuse for the fast reload is that at 700 meters i only does 550 alpha ... and its horribly inaccurate at .29 per 100 meters ... Edit: I'm not gonna delete my comment because I made it and will own it, but when I wrote this, I didn't realize it was a derp so ... in fairness, with the high alpha it is a derp so not any more absurd than say, an M4, a T6, etc. After the absolutely absurd Grom and with the continued plague that is the BZ176, I stand by my prediction of 800 alpha tier 1s ...
I’ve been a regular viewer of yours Klaus for a few years and regularly p*ss myself listening to your brilliant commentary but I don’t think I’ve ever laughed along with you so hard until watching this video. Fog with tanks that materialise, QB kicking, broken mechanics on the tanks and somebody who gets trapped down a narrow aisle causing every other tank to go f**kin mental all at once….all that was missing was a Grille hahahaha Greatest WOT channel on YT, cheers.
Just look at Type 59. It was once nearly the most sought-after and rare premiums. Now anyone can buy it for 35 dollars. People used to pay hundreds of dollars for an account with one.
Which only goes to show that there was an excess of fools who were easily separated from their money. Yeah, I know, it's their money and they can do what they want with it ...
I have not played this game since 2017 after over 10 years of gaming. It was way too repetitive and noticed a huge trend towards money-grabbing strategies. this vid above is the very first vid on RUclips I watched since 2017 (today is Nov 2024). 1-- NO sure about the laughing at all. 2-- I actually loved the idea of tanks disappearing after few seconds under fog / behind bushes / long distances (which is way much more realistic).
The shot that missed and then killed the P.43 but a returnshot from the dead P.43 hit the Su-2-122 after the delayed kill shot...? It's time to play the music... It's time to light the lights... It's time to hit the road... Statler and Waldorf quote on the last game... The jagdpanzer game was hilarious... Talk about getting boxed in by so many Muppets... The fog of war...?
I havent played it in like 3/4 years... but i played for like what 7 years.. i stopped after i got the german t54/55 from those stupid ass missions that were super hard to do. Got burned out and quit. But i think ill download snd try agsin.. why not
Wait what? @1:15. you can't see tanks that are inside the fog... but you can see right through it and see/shoot the tanks on the other side??? that can't be right?
I have the little shaiter, but I don't think I have more than 10 games in it 🤣 This type of game you showed us is more like 1/20 damage wise. Most of the times you don't have the time for this kind of damage OR you get lit and explode within 2 minutes from the start 😱🤣🤣 - Daddy my 2-122 teammate just exploded! - Don't act so surprised son 2-122's explode every day 🙄
@ 2:45 wtf is that 💩!? @ 3:00 wtf is that 💩!? I havent played in a while, but this is an actual feature in the game? And just when I was thinking about playing again. FFS! 😤
The only reason IMHO to get the boxes is for the gold, at least in years past the prem days combined with gold was worth it, the tanks were Meh! I have several of them that have never been played lol, IMHO only worth it if you play a lot.
Oh my God that is too hilarious. One of the many reasons I left this game is the BS spotting mechanics, and now I'm trying to be more dynamic with the way the game looks they actually highlight the poor spotting mechanics in the game. Enjoy having to deal with this for a while because wargaming is not somebody to backtrack when they make a mistake.
The very worst thing about this SU 2 122 TD is being dependent on your team mates. 255 m vision means that you can't target without help from team mates. If you do move up at all to try to see you will likely be spotted first and never see who spotted you. Games with one or no scout tanks are likely to be throwaway games. Being a prem it may not see a lot of those one or no scout games. The rare good scout game have real potential for high scores.
So, in this new weather addition, you can see Mountains, rocks fences, individual blades of grass, but you cant see a massive tank, seems logical to me, good job WG, yet another game breaker...

it's redonkulous
What's tea got to do with it?🙃
no bots, indeed "enemy" Excelsior did ) and was not a bot as it genuinely tried to run away right at the end by climbing vertical wall
I love watching these vids, but boy am I glad I've left this game behind for almost 5 years now. Won't ever be coming back

@@robertflint4115 that would be hilarious, especially if he shouted out his usual quips when seeing the Ho Ri or a Grille lol

NO FUN FOR YOU!!!
I'm looking forward to the IS with the 3-barrel Gatling gun with 390 pen
Oh FFS, don't give them ideas!
Every year or so when I am tempted to start playing WOT again I watch one of these videos and it cures me. Thanks Klaus!

aksually Claus! The shot that missed, just traveled slowly and arched towards the enemy,
reason for for why it looked like it "missed".
I think he realised but too unbothered to correct himself or re-record. also makes for more engagment in the comments.

After first game my claustrophobia is back!
if anything the first clip actually shows that the premium jag is quite op, it held off multiple tanks with ease.
New commander for the tank is a weatherman with the forecast of the whole battlefield
It's the new e-Jagdtiger 8,8, those electric motors just don't make any noise.

Claus should have also had a cameo in the WOT holiday ops video...its tragic you were not included Claus...
SU-2-122 was given out free for Halloween stream tokens. I can't believe someone would pay $25 for that.
One minute in and Claus is in shambles….lol

Or the shot actually didn't miss because it is such a slow shell you can actually arc shells over ridges with it, it is almost like firing a spg in direct fire mode. But the shell is much slower than SPG shells.
Haven't played in a few months. Don't miss it at all.
I did my first Clan War battle in a Jagtiger 88 tier 8 lol
My god the amount of gold rounds he shot is crazy...
Morning Claus.
Now we need 30 minute battle timer to give the fog time to clear so tanks can see each other...lol. 🤬 🌫🌫 👀

I'll never get tired of watching Claus make fun of QB, it's just hilarious😆
I had that TD for a short while. I did not like it. but for me the main issue was View Range. this thing is like a TD version of the Bishop Arty.

So it wasn't surely a 25-buck-tank. ;-)
8.8 used to be the moneyprinter of WoT.
