Now THAT was ENTERTAINMENT!!! Great game, great commentary, QB. More of these, please! After seeing this and watching your review of the A-44, I think I'm going to have to give it a go. You took some beastly damage there, and came out on top!
This is the kind of game i like the most: Great mind game here Quicky, this is why I subscribed to your channel. Tense 1v1s like this one at the end are the best WoT moments IMHO. Once again, great content. GG
Hello ;) A-44 gives a real fun! I suggest for this Tank: -Cyclone Filter The engine gets shot out really easily, even from the front, probably at least every match if you survive long enough. -Gun Rammer Gun reloads kind of slow. Thanks a lot for sharing this clip! :) Wargaming English Ambassador - Jasysae
Thank you so much QuickyBaby! Your videos have helped me so much with world of tanks! After watching your channel for a few weeks my skill level improved a lot. Thanks bro
Awesome tank, that is why i started a-43 line. Looking forward to it and ofc masterfully display of its strength and what a skilled player can achieve with it. Thx for the replay!
remember that the side armor of the a-44 is only 60mm, so sidescraping against 122mm russian guns won't be very effective because of the 2x overmatch increasing normalization by a crapload.
This is the most underrated tank in the game. You can sidescrape like a fucking boss with that rear-mounted turret. You just can't expect it to do medium tank things, because it does NOT depress its gun.
Damn Quicky, you have quite an impressive game. You encourage me to become a better player. Love your commentating style where u talk about what you were doing/thinking at every step. I always play alone. Don't know anyone who plays. Would you say that this puts me at a substantial disadvantage for improving my game?
Edvin Ostapenko T-43 sucks not. I played T-43 and it was a good medium. amazing RoF, kinda troll armor, sometimes you bounce even T7 heavys.... only trouble is it's low penetration with regular AP, especially in tier 9 matches.So you have to flank them a lot...
More ramming. When i drove my a44 bout 1/2 my kills were as a result of ramming. I took the armor and ramming skill, its speed combined with its high front armor make it amazing. Had you been driving my tank that stug would have been killed by the ram alone.
It is a very fun tank to drive, although it takes a bit of playing to learn handle it. I don't have yet the last gun and the last turret, but I am very satisfied so far.
It may sound like a noobish question, but.. Why reverse sidescrape in that situation? Wouldn't that just be giving the enemy a bigger target to hit before -you- can hit them, first? And that gives them the engine to shoot at, too. If anyone can give some insight, that'd be great. ^^
Well just some example of great mm line up for that tank and carried a game against non-skill heavies. A lot of times I have got into horrible lineups only. I am through the tank already but haven't got master tanker and thinking if it is worth to keep it for a lucky mm round to get it finally. I dont know. I had to a lot pain in that tank I think, but the next one will be for sure NOT better!
The upper plate of that tank is only 75mm thick according to tank inspector, so I'm not shocked that 90mm went through your upper plate in the slightest.
The Shrekoning not bad for a tier 7 medium. I do well in the A-44 at times. It screws me up though when I go and play in a KV-4 or KV-5 and I start trying to drive it like a medium tank, well, it leads to some interesting happenings and some frustration as well as laughter when I pull it off. Find it funny at times, when people shit themselves at a KV-5/4 coming round the corner with a bunch of mediums and they just shoot me, for some stupid reason.
I play this on console right now. I can't wait to grind through the T-34 and then the A-43 to get to this tank. Anything has got to be better than the T-34.
I don't like rear mounted turrets or even center mounted turrets because im one of those players that use corners a lot so speed and armor and penetration are my main stats I look at on tanks
severely negated by it's huge size, super weak lower glacis, terrible side armor, and sloping is not enough on hull to bounce guns that the A-44 could. Also sides are only halfway covered with tracks
great game you make every tank look easy, i rage sold it, engine fire track track missing shots point blank range, i know i have to buy it back maybe after i check out your review of it i will
A-44 is good in good player's hands, like most of the other tanks. As you can see, nearly each shot you get, destroys something (HP or modules -tracks) Very often the first hit kills your engine, ammo rack or gun. Gun is extremely inaccurate and gun depression plus rear mounted turret make this tank a real challenge for average players like me.
ToxXiiiC Gaming I agree, the T-34 was good at tier 5 as a flanking medium. The A-43 at tier 6 is shit weak. T-35-85 is much better in that respect, but the T-43 is worse at tier 7 than A-43 is at tier 6. Worth it in the end to get the Obj 140, 460 and the T-62A though (if you're doing both med lines).
+Arthur Wellesley 1st Duke of Wellington "but the T-43 is worse at tier 7 than A-43 is at tier 6." WHAAAT?? really? noooooo :((((( thats really bad and I hope not true
Kava Tava The A-43 is brilliant in a tier 6 game when played well. Even if you play a T-43 well, it can't do that great. You need to play it the same as the A-43 (flank basically) & keep its high DPM gun firing. The 85mm is good but against tier 9's, good luck. If you see an E-75 in it, just run. Same for T-34 or T95, you just track them or shoot in engine bay, otherwise run like the wind. A-43 is ok even when facing tier 8's if you play it ok.
+Arthur Wellesley 1st Duke of Wellington Thanks for reply! I had the A-43 and my biggest problem was poor damage and being unable to even pen most tanks of higher tier (I used the 57mm ZIS-4). I really wanted to like the tank, and I tried, I even started carrying lots of gold ammo to battles but even that couldnt save me in most cases because damage is just too low and the armor - there is no armor. Mobility is great but ZIS-4 on my A-43 made this tank horrible and expensive experience so I ended up selling it. I tried to use the 76mm on it and that thing was so inaccurate I'd miss so many shots and just die. I already have KV-13 and enjoy it a lot even with the 85mm gun which is okay. but I want to get the T-62A so I need either A-44 or T-43 and I already unlocked T-43 completely, just need the money to buy it, have the crew for it and all. So it is disappointing to hear it will do very bad. I don't expect much from it, I'm aware many t7 mediums are very flawed, but worse than A-43? :( That will be bad experience.
I mentioned this video in Circon's livestream, no link or anything, and the message got deleted! They were talking about the a 43 and 44, and well, bam. Am I not allowed to say your name on his stream? lol
malthe malmqvist He is using removed speed governer. Doing that (even in real life), increases engine power output at the expense of engine wear and increased chance of mishaps and such. You can easily blow the engine if you do it in real life if you're not careful.
I don't think i would like this tank very much because of a heavy tank gun that it gets. I just prefer very "snappy" guns that let you use your reflexes to a full extent, that's why i pretty much only play mediums. (And a Hellcat - guilty confession)
Well, I am just through that A-44 right now and there were a lot times when I simply hate that tank. There are two basic things to keep in mind about the A-44. 1. It rocks for line ups like QB got here, only tier7 not a lot heavies against ya. 2. As it comes to being low tier in a tier8 or tier9 battle, your tank worth is really low. You can just play it as a supporter from 2nd line and hiding mostly. You need luck with the RNG in that situations cuz you will have problems to pen the higher tiers and you can not effort to aim fully. With bad RNG you will be fast sick of that tank in higher, with all that engine hits, fire (it is really a damn problem with that tank) and gun depression. Other meds in such conditions can be scouts / spotters, this tank can't, cuz u have no space to equip binoc's for example thanks to the gun.
as i was watching the video i played my a44 for a laugh and i managed to get on the same map as QB, i then proceeded to get 3k damage 6 kills and a mastery
wauw you just picked another game as highest tier. I would like to know how to play this tank as lowest tier as most of my games are. Hard to get those replays

Enjoy this tense game in the A-44
Awesome!
i know you were playing this tank on your live stream yesterday, if this is from that, did you have to show everyone your feet? :3
Good Tanking QB :)
pls never get gambled in a game against me my gosh QB >.> hard shots....
Now THAT was ENTERTAINMENT!!! Great game, great commentary, QB. More of these, please! After seeing this and watching your review of the A-44, I think I'm going to have to give it a go. You took some beastly damage there, and came out on top!
"The alpha damage is more than enough to go trough the enemies" -Quickybaby
Thats a nifty replay description youve got there! (12:35)
Looks like it's great for city maps - but no gun depression will really limit it.
because I play on ps4 descent in this game is 1000 games but I have played 2000 games under 4 months so am i addicted
This is the kind of game i like the most: Great mind game here Quicky, this is why I subscribed to your channel. Tense 1v1s like this one at the end are the best WoT moments IMHO. Once again, great content. GG
Your running analysis during the battle was great. Thanks for the view into what you're thinking as you play.
4:16 hehe, Love it when you say hello 😄
Hello ;)
A-44 gives a real fun!
I suggest for this Tank:
-Cyclone Filter
The engine gets shot out really easily, even from the front, probably at least every match if you survive long enough.
-Gun Rammer
Gun reloads kind of slow.
Thanks a lot for sharing this clip! :)

You totally forgot about the humongous tracks...
Yeah but the rear mounted turret means you only have to expose a tiny amount of your tank.
"Replay description:
aiubdiuabdiuabdsui"
XDDDDD
This is the most underrated tank in the game. You can sidescrape like a fucking boss with that rear-mounted turret. You just can't expect it to do medium tank things, because it does NOT depress its gun.
when i first ingaged one of these things i thought : that cant have much armor or do much damage. three seconds later i died
Intense breathtaking game! Very well done as always.
Damn Quicky, you have quite an impressive game. You encourage me to become a better player. Love your commentating style where u talk about what you were doing/thinking at every step.
I always play alone. Don't know anyone who plays. Would you say that this puts me at a substantial disadvantage for improving my game?
Should I sidescrape alot in the t-34-85? Also, can you do a t-43 review please?
do not side scrape in the t-34-85 and the t-43 sucks
King Yama Can you please explain why the t-43 sucks?
Edvin Ostapenko
T-43 sucks not. I played T-43 and it was a good medium. amazing RoF, kinda troll armor, sometimes you bounce even T7 heavys.... only trouble is it's low penetration with regular AP, especially in tier 9 matches.So you have to flank them a lot...
Jiří Kolář
T 43 does not make much progress compared to T-34-85. It is not best in anthing among tier 7 meds.
T-34-1 is worse, Chi-ri is worse too, didnt play german meds yet, but imho T-43 is very good mobile med. For you apparently gun means everything.
More A44 gameplay please! the A44 is really fun to play and enjoyable to watch!
Man, that's a big acronym. What does aiubdiuabdiuabdsui mean in the replay description?
Fantastic, QB. im chasin up that line myself. thanks
lovely!
any chance to see a t-34-3 review in near future? :))
A-44 is the best medium that's fits me, i have many medium tanks but no idea y i adore this tank and i do gd results in it
people seems to forget very easily you can penetrate through objects like cars and pillars and fences
i think this is old replay :)
More ramming. When i drove my a44 bout 1/2 my kills were as a result of ramming. I took the armor and ramming skill, its speed combined with its high front armor make it amazing. Had you been driving my tank that stug would have been killed by the ram alone.
Too bad QB did not get to see the NA forums last night by my timezone. So much A-44.
This reminds me I need to replace my A-44 crew. I havent had a crew in this tank in a few years.
must, go, on, best replays of the week
It is a very fun tank to drive, although it takes a bit of playing to learn handle it. I don't have yet the last gun and the last turret, but I am very satisfied so far.
when I first looked at the stats of this tank I thought it was really crap but now when I see it in action its pretty good!
When are you gonna upload the power donkeys video?
It may sound like a noobish question, but.. Why reverse sidescrape in that situation? Wouldn't that just be giving the enemy a bigger target to hit before -you- can hit them, first? And that gives them the engine to shoot at, too.
If anyone can give some insight, that'd be great. ^^
Scratch that - I realized that I didn't see that the 'long' end of the tank is actually the front. Either that or I'm going insane. Scratch that!
The A-44 is an awesome sidescraper because the turrets placed in the back.
Mister Obvious.
Very well executed! I didn't like this tank on the test server, but this does give me reason to give it a second look.
Wow, right on the back of your review lol, how appropriate.
This was my 1 tier 7 tank and I love it
Quickybaby can you pls do a tank review about the Tiger 2
when you will do a review of vk 45.02 B tier 9? you said you wil do one soon but it didnt came.
I would like that aswell. :-)
He didn't like it, so I wouldn't expect it anytime soon
He doesn't like it. He does have some videos of it and talks about it in those videos, so you could check that.
Check my video about a heartbreak in it on ruinberg, that is the closest you will get to a QTR.
Got a Radley Walters in my T25/2 today.
Think it was somewhere around 4000 damage and 1500 xp.
Still 80k xp to go :p
If I ever decide to get past the low tier Russian Meds I think I'll go for the rear turret line. Thanks for the video.
Please make a video over the churchil I ore churchil VII
Well just some example of great mm line up for that tank and carried a game against non-skill heavies. A lot of times I have got into horrible lineups only. I am through the tank already but haven't got master tanker and thinking if it is worth to keep it for a lucky mm round to get it finally. I dont know. I had to a lot pain in that tank I think, but the next one will be for sure NOT better!
Good game for the battle most beautiful I have ever seen in world of tanks
were you using high octane in this?
One other thing: Any chance u could review the A-43?
Greez
what did you say @2:44
Just like taxes :) lol
haha "and we decide to crush him..." [crush]
Nice picture. I would date the person in the picture.
LOL. Single and ready to mingle!!!!! :P
is patch 9.2 a44 turret can turn 360?
The upper plate of that tank is only 75mm thick according to tank inspector, so I'm not shocked that 90mm went through your upper plate in the slightest.
LuckySkillz159 is that 75mm effective armour? including the sloping?
+Scara and Spud 75 is the raw thickness. It's effective armour with the slope is around 110-130. If you angle it can go 150+
The Shrekoning not bad for a tier 7 medium.
I do well in the A-44 at times. It screws me up though when I go and play in a KV-4 or KV-5 and I start trying to drive it like a medium tank, well, it leads to some interesting happenings and some frustration as well as laughter when I pull it off.
Find it funny at times, when people shit themselves at a KV-5/4 coming round the corner with a bunch of mediums and they just shoot me, for some stupid reason.
Awesome game just watching you make me become a better player
I wish you could do this with the Japanese tanks other than the STB-1 I think you absolutely need the armor for these kind of carries :(
I always ammo rack A-44 module from the side..does the a-44 will get easy ammo rack?
Qb said in the last video that yes, it gets ammo racked often.
I Love the A-44. Been a big fan of it since I tried it in the Beta. The only time I don't like it is against Tier 9's.
I play this on console right now. I can't wait to grind through the T-34 and then the A-43 to get to this tank. Anything has got to be better than the T-34.
Actually I was getting those kinds of pens all the time from higher tiers.
Why did you use APCR for the hull of a T29? :/
I once bounced a T29 3 times on it's hull with that tank before he killed me, i think it's not a bad idea xD
Haha the E-25 "Trollet" which means "The Troll"
That is some performance. Def +1
I don't like rear mounted turrets or even center mounted turrets because im one of those players that use corners a lot so speed and armor and penetration are my main stats I look at on tanks
Epic as always
Panther has good armor aswell as A44 against lower tiers.
severely negated by it's huge size, super weak lower glacis, terrible side armor, and sloping is not enough on hull to bounce guns that the A-44 could. Also sides are only halfway covered with tracks
Hows the MM for this?
+1 for being named Gilad Pellaeon.
It has standard tier seven med: pretty even spread between being top tier and being bottom tier in a tier nine game.
what is the mod that he uses? i like alot his mod
this was really a gr8 game to watch
just unlocked the a44 and really its hard to play cause of the depression :/
great game you make every tank look easy, i rage sold it, engine fire track track missing shots point blank range, i know i have to buy it back maybe after i check out your review of it i will
7 years later 🤔

Wish I could play half as well as that
t29 best tier 7 ???...you aint met me in my kv3 yet quicky....
pure medium action. to put it lightly to keep big mean tanks off balance is a medium's bread&butter me+type 58=t29 BBQ
just 1 game? but what a game:) really nice :)
Oh man i cant wait for this tank ... t-34 and a-43 are such a pain in the anus to grind that this will be like cristmas :D
Whats ur point lol ?
ToxXiiiC Gaming I agree, the T-34 was good at tier 5 as a flanking medium. The A-43 at tier 6 is shit weak. T-35-85 is much better in that respect, but the T-43 is worse at tier 7 than A-43 is at tier 6. Worth it in the end to get the Obj 140, 460 and the T-62A though (if you're doing both med lines).

How do you speed up?
malthe malmqvist He is using removed speed governer. Doing that (even in real life), increases engine power output at the expense of engine wear and increased chance of mishaps and such. You can easily blow the engine if you do it in real life if you're not careful.
Will get A-44 for sure
do a tiger review please
I don't think i would like this tank very much because of a heavy tank gun that it gets. I just prefer very "snappy" guns that let you use your reflexes to a full extent, that's why i pretty much only play mediums. (And a Hellcat - guilty confession)
I love thy tank sooo much
Awsome tactic's here :D
I want this tank ;)
keep calm and carry on!
Fortunately that t29 grew a brain too late
Right now it is 10:44
I really should have gone down this russian medium line, shouldnt I?
its not the tank its the driver
***** I know that, I'm sure he can do just as well with my T-43, but I cant help but see that that tank is better.
Well, I am just through that A-44 right now and there were a lot times when I simply hate that tank. There are two basic things to keep in mind about the A-44.
1. It rocks for line ups like QB got here, only tier7 not a lot heavies against ya.

Other meds in such conditions can be scouts / spotters, this tank can't, cuz u have no space to equip binoc's for example thanks to the gun.
NAUGHT NAUGHTY QUICKY BABY! HE HAS ADDBLOCK!!!!` :P
So,this is the biggest med-tank gun in the game?...at tier 7 :D
+Toma Radenkovic (webhead89) its the same gun that the t150 gets.
I know,i meant caliber-wise.But then i remembered the chinese xD
A total Cary:)
lol, why all the fun and good games is allways in himmelsdorf or most is xD
A-44 is the best tank in whole galaxy!
That was some sloppy gameplay against the T29, to QB's standard :) But overall fantastic game as always.
as i was watching the video i played my a44 for a laugh and i managed to get on the same map as QB, i then proceeded to get 3k damage 6 kills and a mastery
perfect play
Hi qb love ur vids
Very nice Tank i will get me that one !
awesome game! GG!
wauw you just picked another game as highest tier. I would like to know how to play this tank as lowest tier as most of my games are. Hard to get those replays
cmon, where are those videos from war thunder u promised?
Confusing a 46% 500 eff player.. Hahaha, QB you funny..
