I just don't see any reason to use consumables, such as fire extinguishers or medkits, in 8-bit mode. Crew members don't get injured, modules don't get damaged and tanks don't burn here.
the healing is idiotic, try and heal and lose 12k credits even with completing the damage and healing missions, you get nothing extra for winning the battle so imo it is a waste of credits to even buy that ammo
Macer23-T HA I bet. You know what Mr. Hotshot, why don't you just prove your little claim by answering me this: If a turtle were to be baked into a pie with blueberries, how large would the fallout zone be?
Let me tell you all something. The thing in this game mode is only to get that damage and make it so, that you get those 1500,1500 xp and 10 000 credits. By making 500 damage on 25 games you get that 250 000 credits. Everyone in the game has a change to get everything above. Just forget that cap and forget win. ONLY DAMAGE! This is crew experience automat and same time credit automat. Just spin the wheel and win!
Lol,that gamemode is a bit unfair for players who arent as popular and celebrities like Quickybaby. He got healded for like 6000 HP. I personally never got that :( and obviously never 10000 Damage. Only 7000. This healing thing is nice but for QB its even better xD It kinda turns the way of randoms work to the better. No artys focus him instead allys heal him thats absolutely awesome and hilarious idea by Wargaming ;) almost perfectly fitting for theee Quickybaby xD
Besides that easter egg, healing doesn't do anything for you at all. The mission is way too easy especially for the mammoth. Just walk up to a mammoth, and shoot him non stop like an idiot and you will get the damage in 20seconds...
Thanks for the video, bro. I was wondering about the crews for this mode and I CAN tell you put lots of research into this video... cuz I put a TON of research in and couldn't find half of these answers. Thanks again!
I don't know if it's just my luck, but within about 50 games of this special mode I got healed only once. That was the only time I ever noticed anyone healing anyone else. I like healing, and do it always when there isn't an immediate threat to me. I actually once managed to get some moron mad by healing him, because the idiot thought I was doing damage.
I agree, that team mate of yours is an idiot. He just dove into the Winter Showdown without reading the guidelines of the game. You're lucky team killing has no place in this game :D
If only WG would bring 8 bit modes back. These were so much fun. Same with the IS-7 ball for the moon event or whatever it all was called. These were the most fun modes.
I personally train my bulldog crew on the mammoth, I just don't wanna spend gold and I don't retrain it. It does take an experience penalty for not being the proper crew, but it still helps to reach the first skill fast and clean.
At first I thought it looked stupid, but I am enjoying grinding for crew XP. I noticed that getting the XP depends on how much damage you do rather than whether or not you win, which is great. I enjoyed but also kinda hated the soccer game because you got nothing for losing.
What I find funny, is that I have actually managed to bounce a Mammoth in my Polar Bear in this mode. I honestly didn't know how I pulled it off, but I was able to make the enemy bounce while I was sidestepping, and if not for that bounce, I would have missed a kill opportunity
You have the experience distribution wrong... You get 1.5k crew experience for all members and 1.5k for the lowest member if you are accelerating crew training. I have tested this, analysed the experience until the next level and so on... The lowest exp member gets 3k, the others get 1.5k.
Thanks for finding that healing 'Easter egg' - it looks like you get 750 xp for healing but you seem to get 1500 xp for healing if you complete the mission for the tank also. (Actually my wife found out about the 1500).
Winning just doesn't matter no extra exp or credits --> healing is just a neat feature nothing more. Just search for a random Platoon and try to get the Platoon mission!
QB's polar bear drowned! LOL! Aside from being fun to watch, this game also encourages teamwork and looking after for the well-being of team mates. This game brings out the "good samaritan" in a player. Like, like, like!
I think the Fox is the most fun to drive, but I have the hardest time getting the required damage in it for the XP bonus. Didn't know about the XP/Credit bonus for healing though, I'll have to try that out. I've been playing mostly the polar bear because I need a good French TD crew. In just one evening of game play I'll at about 50% on the second skill.
QB, do you know what would happen if I retrain my Fox crew to another lower tier light tank before the event ends? Would it still send them to the LTTB? It will a long time before I get that tank(I'm grinding for my Maus first) and I would rather use the crew now while I can and then retrain them to the LTTB once I get that tank.
Also, your xp numbers are screwed up. In a 1.5k xp game, your crew gets 1.5k xp each, not 3k (1.5k crew xp + 1.5k combat xp) - it doesn't work that way. The combat xp goes to the tank only and isn't duplicated to the crew every game. Accelerated Crew Training means that your "Combat Experience" (1.5k) goes to the weakest crew member, who then gets 3k (not 6k), while the others still only get 1.5k (not 3k). Same for the platoon and 25-games-played-missions.
The only sad thing is that I don't own any Russian Lights, French TDs or American Heavies... although I did think about getting myself a T-54 (maybe go the Ltw. route and keep it afterwards) and an M103... but it'd take a while. Ehh...
This was really helpful, thanks QB! Question: I'm not very high up the US heavy line so I was thinking of retraining my IS7 crew for this tank for silver, grinding with them a mammoth for a while to get some skills, then retraining back to IS7 before the event ends and just not play my IS7 for a while. Possibly the same with my Rhm crew (my highest TD right now) for the Polar Bear. Does that seem like it would work or would you recommend just using the crew this comes with for the eventual T110E5?
Looking to start playing World of tanks on PC . I been playing on xbox 360 but Xbox is so screwed up these days going nuts over it. What would I need my new PC to play World of tank, Minecraft, and other games on Stream ... ????
A quick question, can I retrain the mamoth crew after using them for another vehicle like the t29? I am currently grinding the sherman jumbo and want to know if I should grind the mammoth for the US heavy crew. So can I have it go into any US heavy?(I will retrain it with credits)
I had already played a bunch of these games. But, I didn't notice the NY2015WG spelled out on the map until the end of your video. xD I assume that stands for New Years 2015 War Gaming.
Packman mode with same Random game - you have to reset your custom settings and modes for this to work. It ends up just the same Random battle nonsense but with a crappy UI. If you can platoon and have reached a good game standard then great way to earn credits... Kinda like giving tax back to the rich...
This is so nice, I've been thinking of going up the new russian light line and I think I can convert that LTTB crew to my T-54 ltw when I get it, can I not? Anycase, very nice to get a good LTTB crew to start with.
Ohh MOM! im on TV! :) jk. QB, ive been a huge fan of yours since way back, and now i finally happend to meet you ingame too! Starstruck :P Until next time, keep up the good fun streams QB. - The_Legendary_Artattack :P
So of you dont have any of the 3 tanks wich these 8bit versions are based on you cant put the crew on a tank of youre choise of the faction of their 8bit tank for example put the articfox crew on one of my russian light tanks?
What if you don't have any of the tanks the 8 bits are based upon where does the crew go? in the barracks or nowhere and when you get the tank it's based on it will auto get on the tank?
I've got a question(sorry if it's stupid):so, when i train the crew in the arctic fox, can i put it for example in the a-43? Sorry again if my question was stupid, but i didn't understand this crew training part of the video good.
i've trained the mammoth crew up to the 3rd skill but i dont have the t11035 yet! the only question i have now is what to do with the m103 crew after i unlock the t110e5? they are high on second skill and i think it's dumb to dismiss them... :/
Tolakos Green Love I've tried healing on the side of damaging. I've gotten 250 or 500 exp depending on how much I've healed, so maybe you can get 750 if you heal more?
Hey Quickybaby do you know what would happen to the crews if you don't have the tanks they are meant to go into as i am still fairly new to WoT and only have 1.5k battles and as such only at tier 5-6 and i don't plan on moving up anytime soon till i get better at the game, so would it be a waste for me or could i simply retrain them again onto a lower version of their nations tanks? Thanks in advance
Can I send you my replay with that 8-bit Foch? I did almost 14k damage (13.911). In that replay you also can see very effective tactic (27 wins in 31 battles).
Hello, I am thinking of rolling another nation, which one do you think i should roll? I currently play russian and german tanks, have progress up to E-75 and T-54 as well as various lower tier tanks. I was thinkg of going for USA or British tanks but i haven't decided yet, which nation has good tanks besides russia and germany?
This was probably the most fun gamemode they have ever put out there, bring it back WG.
the game was so much better back then... i want them old days back...
@@luxxdiscipline yeah i miss these times
@@Itachi-zn5rm haha even after 3 years brother the same
@@luxxdiscipline sooo much nostalgia
I want this gamemode back :(

I hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I like this new game mode!
I'm Livestreaming RIGHT NOW!
www.twitch.tv/QuickyBaby
Thx for the tip of the bonus xp on the artic fox. Nice video ;)
Good geams me clan GHSA
QuickyBabyTV i bounced an side of the polar bear but it was at an extreme angle....

Game mode too realistic. Hurts my eyes.
2 manny pixels
I really want this game mode back. I need some credits and crew skills.
Karl should be the arty in this gamemode
I like turtles.
Lazermoowus I eat turtles :)
Macer23-T HA I bet. You know what Mr. Hotshot, why don't you just prove your little claim by answering me this: If a turtle were to be baked into a pie with blueberries, how large would the fallout zone be?
Lazermoowus Over 9....Fairly large
and then nothing else but the karl was played. the end.
Mammoth has 100m/sec shell travle speed, arctic fox has 200m/sec shell travle speed and Polar Bear has 300m/sec shell travle speed.
Holy shit. I was 12 years old when I played this. Man, does time fly.
I was 10 😦
I was 10 😟
I know this was 10 months ago but i were 6 years when i played this it's really nostalgic to watch i wish they would add it back
aww man i remember this... i was in 3rd grade... time flies...
damn same....
Let me tell you all something. The thing in this game mode is only to get that damage and make it so, that you get those 1500,1500 xp and 10 000 credits.

I wish they will add this to blitz
Would it be worng to say that these tanks look absolutely adorable!! Especially when they fire!
Lol,that gamemode is a bit unfair for players who arent as popular and celebrities like Quickybaby.
He got healded for like 6000 HP.
I personally never got that :( and obviously never 10000 Damage. Only 7000.
This healing thing is nice but for QB its even better xD
It kinda turns the way of randoms work to the better.
No artys focus him instead allys heal him thats absolutely awesome and hilarious idea by Wargaming ;) almost perfectly fitting for theee Quickybaby xD
This arctic fox must have payed over 100k to get a shoutout from QB i think
Besides that easter egg, healing doesn't do anything for you at all. The mission is way too easy especially for the mammoth. Just walk up to a mammoth, and shoot him non stop like an idiot and you will get the damage in 20seconds...
I did 25K damage in polar bear .
You can use the Mammoth as an artillery piece :P
Karl Heven 6k healing is only 30 shells, or 12k credits
why is winter showdown more fun than the regular WoT?
cause its made for fun, and not frustration and gold ammo pay-pain, just a little hint from devs to show us they can make this too, but whateve
Thanks for the video, bro. I was wondering about the crews for this mode and I CAN tell you put lots of research into this video... cuz I put a TON of research in and couldn't find half of these answers. Thanks again!
Do you play command and conquer much, i spotted it on your desktop?
hanjieunngfullhouse zero hour!
RED ALERT 2!,,,,,
+russian3783 dear god... ' '--
It is now 2020 and, imo, this still is the best game mode event that has ever been done in wot.
2023 still the best mode
I don't know if it's just my luck, but within about 50 games of this special mode I got healed only once. That was the only time I ever noticed anyone healing anyone else. I like healing, and do it always when there isn't an immediate threat to me. I actually once managed to get some moron mad by healing him, because the idiot thought I was doing damage.
I agree, that team mate of yours is an idiot. He just dove into the Winter Showdown without reading the guidelines of the game. You're lucky team killing has no place in this game :D
We need this game mode back so badly. Especially this year. Please WG.
:(
If only WG would bring 8 bit modes back. These were so much fun. Same with the IS-7 ball for the moon event or whatever it all was called. These were the most fun modes.
I'm not playing WoT for about a year now but I still watch your vids :D I dont know why, I guess thay are just fun to watch. Keep them comming! :)
Fox is my favorite too :). It's the most difficult to play, but very rewarding. Just like light tanks in "real" game mode :)
I personally train my bulldog crew on the mammoth, I just don't wanna spend gold and I don't retrain it. It does take an experience penalty for not being the proper crew, but it still helps to reach the first skill fast and clean.
At first I thought it looked stupid, but I am enjoying grinding for crew XP. I noticed that getting the XP depends on how much damage you do rather than whether or not you win, which is great. I enjoyed but also kinda hated the soccer game because you got nothing for losing.

You have the experience distribution wrong... You get 1.5k crew experience for all members and 1.5k for the lowest member if you are accelerating crew training. I have tested this, analysed the experience until the next level and so on... The lowest exp member gets 3k, the others get 1.5k.
Hey,QuickyBaby thanks for playing the Minecraft T110E5 and is my favorite tank!
Cool i have battle 25k dmg Winter Showdown
I love this game mode, took me right back to the days of playing a game called Tank plus on the atari 2600... which i still have boxed in my attic :-)
Thanks for finding that healing 'Easter egg' - it looks like you get 750 xp for healing but you seem to get 1500 xp for healing if you complete the mission for the tank also. (Actually my wife found out about the 1500).
dis gamemode was just da best i want it back ;(
Winning just doesn't matter no extra exp or credits --> healing is just a neat feature nothing more.
Just search for a random Platoon and try to get the Platoon mission!
Wish I had 5 friends who play WoT :(
Thanks now I will play since its like a free trained tank crew for the end of the winter showdown.
And Fun too.
actually, sometimes you do get a bounce on the enemy or yourself, i had that happen on about 5% of all shots fired/recieved
This game mode reminds me... of me.
I do love this showdown for ending the suffering in my light tanks without a sixthsense.
QB's polar bear drowned! LOL! Aside from being fun to watch, this game also encourages teamwork and looking after for the well-being of team mates. This game brings out the "good samaritan" in a player. Like, like, like!
I think the Fox is the most fun to drive, but I have the hardest time getting the required damage in it for the XP bonus.

In just one evening of game play I'll at about 50% on the second skill.
Mentor works for the 10% exp boost to all crew (except commander).
You are actually able to bounce shots if you have extreme angle, I did bounce a shot and I went only like 3 battles in this mode
I think at 5:51 that mamut bounced 2 of his shells
A tactic for the mammoth is to fire your shots and rather than waiting for them to hit just reverse after the third
QB, do you know what would happen if I retrain my Fox crew to another lower tier light tank before the event ends? Would it still send them to the LTTB? It will a long time before I get that tank(I'm grinding for my Maus first) and I would rather use the crew now while I can and then retrain them to the LTTB once I get that tank.
YOU CAN PUT ANY (same nation) CREW IN THE TANKS WITHOUT HAVING TO RETRAIN, AND THEY STILL GET FULL XP!!!
Just a heads up. :)
Also, your xp numbers are screwed up. In a 1.5k xp game, your crew gets 1.5k xp each, not 3k (1.5k crew xp + 1.5k combat xp) - it doesn't work that way. The combat xp goes to the tank only and isn't duplicated to the crew every game. Accelerated Crew Training means that your "Combat Experience" (1.5k) goes to the weakest crew member, who then gets 3k (not 6k), while the others still only get 1.5k (not 3k). Same for the platoon and 25-games-played-missions.
You can bounce it's just fairly rare to happen, I myself have bounces several shots before.
What will happen to the crew if you do not have in the garage foch or e5 or lttb...???and you do not have places in the barracks...???
The only sad thing is that I don't own any Russian Lights, French TDs or American Heavies... although I did think about getting myself a T-54 (maybe go the Ltw. route and keep it afterwards) and an M103... but it'd take a while. Ehh...
Could you please do an IS 3 review? Pretty pretty please !
I miss this it was so fun!!!
i like how solid look the water
how much "heal dmg" u have to do to get the bonus?
This was really helpful, thanks QB! Question: I'm not very high up the US heavy line so I was thinking of retraining my IS7 crew for this tank for silver, grinding with them a mammoth for a while to get some skills, then retraining back to IS7 before the event ends and just not play my IS7 for a while. Possibly the same with my Rhm crew (my highest TD right now) for the Polar Bear. Does that seem like it would work or would you recommend just using the crew this comes with for the eventual T110E5?
I guess I would need to use an American crew in the mammoth and French in the PB. Bummer, was hoping they were nationless...
I've watched this on your Livestream!
Looking to start playing World of tanks on PC . I been playing on xbox 360 but Xbox is so screwed up these days going nuts over it. What would I need my new PC to play World of tank, Minecraft, and other games on Stream ... ????
What are your specs? Those tanks look way better than on my PC...
I think that the artic fox is the best, because of the excellent rate of fire and reverse speed.
A quick question, can I retrain the mamoth crew after using them for another vehicle like the t29? I am currently grinding the sherman jumbo and want to know if I should grind the mammoth for the US heavy crew. So can I have it go into any US heavy?(I will retrain it with credits)
You can definitely bounce shots. I've seen and done it.
MAMMOTH TANK - UNSTOPPABLE
oh the C&C memories .... :')
if the mammoth is like the artic fhox it will be so OP
I m not sure about bouncing. Once I shot to Polar Bear from side to his front armor and it did not do any dmg.
In the polar bear which has 1000-1250 pen I have bounced the flat back of the polar bear and the artic fox
I had already played a bunch of these games. But, I didn't notice the NY2015WG spelled out on the map until the end of your video. xD I assume that stands for New Years 2015 War Gaming.

- The_Legendary_Artattack :P
Lars-Erik Tveter hope ur not trying to get attention ugh I think ur fake >:/
gets into actual tier one game with these
battle city. the memories.
That was very nice in-game action and I would like to play it again another time.
Please add this back it was extremely fun
I think u can sent your crew into barracks and than asing them and retrain for any other tanks of same nation!
So of you dont have any of the 3 tanks wich these 8bit versions are based on you cant put the crew on a tank of youre choise of the faction of their 8bit tank for example put the articfox crew on one of my russian light tanks?
What if you don't have any of the tanks the 8 bits are based upon where does the crew go? in the barracks or nowhere and when you get the tank it's based on it will auto get on the tank?
I use the mammoth as artillery by zoming al out. The shells will go over thr blocks
scumbag!
:)
"YOU CANNOT BOUNCE A SHOT IN THIS GAME MODE."10 bounces and counting.
Man they should bring this back.
does this gameplay effect the wn8 wn7 and efficiency?
I've got a question(sorry if it's stupid):so, when i train the crew in the arctic fox, can i put it for example in the a-43? Sorry again if my question was stupid, but i didn't understand this crew training part of the video good.
Yes. As long as the crew is trained in a tank of the same nation as that of the tank you want to put the crew in, you can move crews around.
i've trained the mammoth crew up to the 3rd skill but i dont have the t11035 yet! the only question i have now is what to do with the m103 crew after i unlock the t110e5? they are high on second skill and i think it's dumb to dismiss them... :/
You can go for the t57 heafy
SuperJonnick
true! thanks :)
Np
T95 vs 113 What should i take!? Please tell me O7
Platooned for 4+ hours, made a ridiculous amount of credits and I believe 3 skills. well over 1.5 million credits. Platooning is the way!
Thanks for info QB
I managed to bounce in this game mode. Hit the top of the Polar Bear with my Arctic Fox.
A little fun game mode on the side :)
Won't be playing it probably but do support the idea of it.
if I got sixth sense on my commander in my mammoth now and in a years time I got the T110E5 would I have the same commander with sixth sense already
I miss this mode, Best thing wargaming has ever released.
loved it - wish theyd bring it back !
this is an art attack!, this is an art attack!, THIS, IS, ART ATTACK!
hy QB are you going to gamescom this year , i am going and realt want to meed you there
How does that build up when You also ass a mentor perk to the mix? ;)
Do I have to research the tank in order to collect experience?
do healing shells count towards your damage?
No
IF you are in the fox, you get 2k creds and 500 exp for healing
NoHomeLike 192.168.8.1 thx m8
NoHomeLike 192.168.8.1 BUT QB SAID THAT YOU GET 3K CREDS AND 750 EXP FOR HEALING!
Tolakos Green Love I've tried healing on the side of damaging. I've gotten 250 or 500 exp depending on how much I've healed, so maybe you can get 750 if you heal more?
7:41 yes you did get a 10k+ game qb
Haha, even though QB says, there is no Chance to bounce a shot, he goes for sidescraping xD
+Ka Rim so as to make himself a smaller target.
Hey Quickybaby do you know what would happen to the crews if you don't have the tanks they are meant to go into as i am still fairly new to WoT and only have 1.5k battles and as such only at tier 5-6 and i don't plan on moving up anytime soon till i get better at the game, so would it be a waste for me or could i simply retrain them again onto a lower version of their nations tanks?
Thanks in advance
The crews a going to the tanks there based on if you dont have them it dousent matter becuse when you unlock them the crew is alredy in the tank
on the map there is 2015 new year wg
Can I send you my replay with that 8-bit Foch? I did almost 14k damage (13.911). In that replay you also can see very effective tactic (27 wins in 31 battles).
Hello, I am thinking of rolling another nation, which one do you think i should roll? I currently play russian and german tanks, have progress up to E-75 and T-54 as well as various lower tier tanks. I was thinkg of going for USA or British tanks but i haven't decided yet, which nation has good tanks besides russia and germany?
Chinese heavys, IS2, 110 and 113. USA: M6, T29, T32, M103, T110E5.
can you complete personal missions in this tanks?
