you have no chance to pen the VK100.01 (P) unless its facing you straight on (using prem ammo hit the lower plate), or get its side flat on (not the turret). The defender you would have to shoot for the hatches on top, but thats a pretty small target, if you have it's side, aim below the body and above the middle of the road wheels, or load premium for the side. If you have troubles penetrating a certain tank go to tanks.gg and search the tank, you can use that to see different armor effectiveness from different angles, just remember what your penetration is.
if facing the tier 8 "MiniMaus" straight on its about 200mm thick on the lower plate, if its at its most optimal angle for both side and frontal armor its about 240-250mm thick (at this point you shoot the side of the tank next to the track and lower plate roughly 190mm thick at that angle). the tumor is about 220mm thick at the front, so if you have the penetration, go for it you have to hit it pretty square on though. the defender is the most formidable tier 8 tank frontally, its lower plate is about 215-230mm thick straight on, so the only real weak spot is the 150mm hatches, but they can be hard to hit. Seriously though, use tanks.gg its a very useful site
IS-6 doesn't meet tier 10 tanks, so its penetration is lower, however its penetration does have a hard time contesting the armor of equal tier well armored heavies
You forgot one thing, the strv literally dont bloom at all as if you were stationary even when turning the tank inside the siege mode. It can snapshot at max accuracy
I wonder why people get so asspained over a premium TD that is almost exactly like the existing non-premium TD... I don't see the point of complaining about all this, it's not overpowered and no one is forcing anyone to buy it. If you want it, buy it, if you don't want it, don't buy it, simple as that.
Its because quickybaby is very accessible to lots of different players, especially those that suck at the game. First thing they do when an invisible tank shoot them is complain OP, when in reality they are at fault, such as being in a shit open location etc. Its the reason why the Udes 03 video that QB uploaded got lots of complaints saying its OP. Funny thing is when actually looking at real data, the Udes 03 isn't that good in practice.
A. the non prem not everyone can get right away. B. this one is not necessarily OP but when you have 8 year olds with a tier 8 prem with 288 prem just autopenning everything its gonna get really annoying really fast. C. this thing has 288 pen... 288!! you wont have to even fire prem rounds at tier 10(im assuming it dosnt get pref mm if it does i will never play wot again) Yeah your right noone is forcing you to but when a little 8 year old with mommies credit card can get one of these it might turn into a problem.
I've played a few hundred games with this tank. I'm enjoying the sniper aspect of it, and as long as you get 1 hit with the thing, you'll make money. I'm still training my crew, and it's got ludicrous camo and spotting range. I find that not engaging early is the best chance for survival. Wait for the high spotting light tanks to be taken care of, then you can get around and do some damage. I'm continuing to learn this tank and having fun doing so.
why is everyone saying that the swedish TD's pen are OP? the TD it self has a fixed gun on its hull, not reliable armor, very slow at siege mode and gets easily flanked, and not good at close range esp if the terrain are not favorable, almost always relies on scouts for targets and almost completely helpless on city maps, crews and modules are easily injured and damaged by HE or high caliber guns and i bet you there are a lot more to say. but given all those disadvantages the Swedish have its own selling points already mentioned by QB.
shinjiprofile it is OP, just sit at the back, shoot some heavy tanks, no one is going to notice. Even if they do, in most cases, heavy tank’s gun is going to miss.
Love this unit. Easier to use than I imagined. Quickybaby, I think might of missed the fact the the S1 maintains its camo net and binoculars in chassis rotation therefore in use having the same benefits as a turreted TD. I find that its very much a stand off weapon as close up I die all too quickly. A nice change to have a premium thats different to the typical examples.
Got this tank just after I got the UDES and I thought "Oh damn, no gun elevation or depression without siege mode. What a major disadvantage." Then watched this review and figured that I better learn how to play it well if I want to go for the IX and X versions. As always QB, thanks for giving me insight in how to adapt my play style to the tank and situation!
Quickybaby, im a huge Sweedish TD player, and there is something you forgot to mention.. The Udes aim circle increases and need a Re-aim if u move to a new target, where the strv s1 keeps its accuracy just like the strv 103b when u turn anywhere
22.3% winrate is very impressive! You literally have to be trying to lose. Combine that with being able to not annoy people so much as to report you enough after those 46k battles!
The swedish TD's from tier8 to 10 reminds me of Sniper Elite games. You carry a big accurate sniper gun. You have to keep distance, because if the enemy get closer, you die. You have to be EXTREMELY sneaky.
Here is why i am a free to play player and never spend a cent on WOT: 1. Its a virtual game. Nothing you buy is guaranteed to be yours for the lifetime of the game. 2. Who knows if WOT will be there in a few years time? Anything can happen. 3. I'd rather spend that money buying other games on steam and enjoying variety. 4. If i buy premium tanks/premium account, i will be 'forced' to play because otherwise i would be wasting money which i dont like the idea of.
I love my s1 to pieces but I never felt it fair to be considered a tier 8 tank and obviously tier 8 mm because 3/4 modules are tier 9-10 I actually feel kind of bad hiding back unseen when top tier and blowing those poor 6's back to the garage.
This tank has such good velocity, I have trouble with leading too far most of the time XD It should be noted the gun is like an improvement of the SU-122-44, with better alpha and similar reload, and much better handling. It's armor is also similar, and with the tier 10 gun at tier 8, it's pretty good.
Hi QB, not sure if you changed your approach a bit, but I absolutely loved this video. So informative and helpful and I loved the on screen annotation bulletpoints :)
With 15mm of cupola armor you should shoot HE at it even with 75mm guns. You will always pen if you hit it and if you hit a place where you'd bounce with ap then you'll still do a bit of damage.
95 000 profit with prem account and not fire prem shells with 4.5k dmg, is actually very little. In my Super Pershing I would make 100 000 - 150 000 with such a game
Well quickybaby you said heat will only ricochet from 85° so if you are on a ridgeline you point your gun and hull upwards to make it flat causing all heat to ricochet as well
I'm not a great player, but I purchased the S1 today and I simply love it!! I really like the playstyle and I was doing well right from the first battle. :)
haven't tried out the Swedish hydroneumatic TD's on the test server, but if WG is going to be offering one for sale in the premium shop, I definitely will be looking to pick one up and giving the TD a thorough once over! Thanks!
I just bought this tank yesterday and I am still learning how to play it correctly but I have learned a few things in it so far. #1: you absolutely shit on teirs 6-8 when you are the top of the list. And #2: you also shit on teirs 8-10 but only until they get tired of you, see you, and end your annoying life lol 10/10 love this tank already.
I LOVE driving my strb-b i'm considering this premium tank for credit farming. I had my crew since i started on the very first td and i've kept them and re-trained them every step all the way to tier 10. i ditched the tier 9 tank but i kept the UDES. currently i'm 3 skills into that second crew now. this tank will help train them over fast and will be great with my current tier 10 crew in it. currently on both tanks i have now i run Camo Netting, Vents, binocs. skill wise max on cammo + 6th sense and repairs (for those pesky trackings i will take. Consumeables i'm running large repair / large first aid / fire extinguisher. i do get set on fire quite a bit. i've thought about dropping it for the cinnabuns but i'm not sure if i should. also i need to point out the amount of hate i keep getting while driving this tank. everyone calls me noob for snipe camping in the back yelling at me when i'm top tier or close saying i'm doing nothing and useless playing a turret and i should be playing a real tank. (think of it as the same hate hate for call of duty snipers). I do find i'm usually one of the last to go down due to the insane camo ratings you can get with this thing and it's speed repositoning. I had one 4k damage game that we lost because we needed to assault. (and the scouts that were left were pretty worthless in potting the last few enemies thus i had to risk the tank in the front line and got worn down. remeber kids .. DO NOT GO RUSHING!!
Looks like another premium thats actually better than its standart counterpart. On sale today for the next 20 days, I see lots of them flooding the Tier8 Gameplay the next weeks.
You aint right QB, you have to load He not AP if you dont have apcr since He will 100% pen copola if hit , if not hit tank for slight , and if apcr hit copola = less damage , if hit tank bounce , so yea.
Greetings from California QB! Great review and excellent information all around. I look forward to your new videos and still watch your series on tips at owning the game. Keep it coming, cheers!!
Haha, saw this thing today morning in the premium shop. Never heard of it nor did google find anything. Then I though Quickybaby surely has something already on it, seems I was right.
I ground out the UDES and finally got a MoE. I'm kind of annoyed that WG is putting out a premium with essentially better armor and way better mobility in siege mode. Makes this version much more survivable, which is practically non-existent for the UDES. Will WG buff the speed in siege mode or just buy the better tank? Great preview QB as always.
Hey GamerDad, the UDES, as I mentioned, is still the better sniper with better camo and mobility. Play it ultra sneaky! This vehicle is more like a T8 version of the T9 STRV 103-0 so if you want to see how it plays try that tank out :)
People be like "EHRMAHRGARHD OVERPOWERED PREMIUM AGAIN HURR DURR DURR!!!!!!" For urine's sake, this thing has the same gun as on the standard T8 TD with less accuracy. It has a bit more armor, but it is still as overmatchable as an IS-4's roof weakspot, just that this TD here has it in 90%+ of it's whole tank. The speed is worse in every single aspect than the UDES, just the siege mode is a bit better due to faster exit and faster speedlimit inside it. That's it. If this is overpowered, then the Sexton premium arty is also OP. Rudy is also OP. IS-2B is OP. Seems like dumb people confuse "overpowered" with "normal" and "balanced". Seems also that they only want absolutely shite premium tanks. Those are also oftenly people who play their KV-2s and IS-3s and other overfuckingpowered normally-achievable tanks all the time. By the words of Franklin Clinton: Punkassfools.
The funny thing is them saying every new premium is OP is like crying wolf. In the end wargaming will just ignore them and release premium tanks that are actually OP like the Obj 252.
a bit more armor? Stvr has 50% more armor also is 60% faster in siege mode (where it matters) even QB admits this is better than UDES, I wont say its op but is clearly better than its tech tree counterpart
you must be kidding. Strv S1 is definetely OP. Udes is a good bush cancer. nothing more. this thing plays ridgelines head to head with a multitude of tiers and face to face with 7 and lower tiers.
" a little worse" udes has 20/20/20 armour strv s1 has 30/30/30 armour the strv s1 also has a better rate of fire then the udes yet u somehow think its worse then the udes
does anyone actualy use the udes 3's ability to raise its gun over small ridgelines by angeling the gun to the maximum depression, then aiming normaly, effectively moving the gun up because the gun itself can point up relative to the hull
All I can think about when looking at this tank is that: what were the Swedish thinking when they came up with that design? Why is the gun fixed into the hull? There's propably a good reason why within the long history of tank-design, no nation *ever* came up with a tank that has completely fixed gun with absolutely no traverse at all.
Azure Templar there are several videos and articles you can read about it. WG has even uploaded videos on their channel. but basically, sweden streamlined their designs for fighting in sweden. waiting in ambush on ridges or other positions to get the shot of, then fall back to another position and set up ambush
Yes. But even tier 9 tank destroyers don't get penetration that high. That's like saying "oh tier 6s should have penetration buffs because they can see tier 8". Literally no tier 8 heavy tank can block 288mm of pen. Poor old KV4 with it's flat armour.
it could have it's Historical 311 pen so it's not all bad..+ the hydropneumatic suspension can be used on the move and not compromise the speed it has in the game
too bad it won't appear in the in game shop for gold cause clan wars award gold but then sells gold...because reasons...And community contributers don't speak about this...plz comment or raise your voice hoping that wg hears about this...I have made a forum thread called 'More tanks in the in game shop'!feel free to say your opinion!
They've probably ran out of money, two goddamn OPAF premtanks in less than 2 months? They never learn: buying a Bugatti Veyron to all WG employees is not healthy to the pocket, but they keep doing it!
This game is so popular now that they can afford to to do such things and still make money, because they know people will buy it anyway (too many addicts haha). It's like raising your taxes in Stronghold Crusader when your popularity is through the roof. Or maybe they really need a lot of money for something really big, like the new graphics. Although I think the first option is the answer. Why? Because they can.
Hello QuickyBaby, congratulations for your videos, they are the best. Just a question, how can I review a recorded battle making the camera fly all over the scenery?
On that last fight at the end there against the skorpion, you shouldn't have entered siege mode. You should have just rushed him head on and face hugged him, I don't think then he would be able to depress his gun far enough to hit you. But even then, you would at least guarantee you hitting your shot, instead of missing it like you did.
I was wondering when this was coming, planning on getting one so I can train a crew. Seen it in the game, I have the techtree that shows the hidden vehicles.
I don't know if it's just because I'm not used to Siege mode or what, but I seem to get spotted before I can even see anyone and die. I don't even have a chance to fire a shot
At least WarGaming are learning that making a premium vehicle worse than its main tree counterpart, but rewarded with more XP and credits is a good idea. Better than just making OP premiums.
Could you make a video on this tank on how to use the seage mode. I've watched some people play this tank and they make it do some crazy things like make it look like a cobra raising up and striking. Just don't know how to raise the tank up front and back at the same time while raising the gun to shoot like I've seen others do. It's just insane.
meet the great accuracy with the penetration of isu-152 I think I will love the tank making campaign TD missions easy? also moneymaker supreme since you almost never need prem ammo seriously considering buying one to train my swedish girls crew
Hi Quicky. Great video and very helpful. One Quicky question for you. I have zero experience with this hydraulic system of changing the height of the tank. What key do you press to activate it. And yes, I looked everywhere for an answer. Thanks in advance, Dep.
Hello QuickyBaby ! congratulation for your channel is really well done! One question: I recently bought the STRV S1 and I like it. However I struggle to find the right spot or position. Can you please give me some hints about the starting of the game? Thanks
It's faster, smaller, more accurate, has much better camo, and has a more flexible gun (UDES is the only tank in game who can elevate it's whole tank and gun against obstacles - not terrain - due to its ability to elevate the gun). So yeah, different playstyle, basically in the same powerlevel.
I was honestly hoping for a Lorraine40t review and unfortunately was disappointed with this failure of a vehicle. No static gun TD is worth the gold in this game a part from the E-25 and SU-122-44.
no doubt strv s1 demand a lot of skill, but that is what we players live for, the challenge:). Keep on going quickybaby, I love your rewievs and replays.
Quicky or anyone else if you wouldnt mind; for someone just starting up and wanting to go for one TD line, what are the benefits with skorpion TD vs this s1? Id like to have an allround strong TD, and the swedish one may be a bit too much about sniping?
question is. i use panther 8,8 and i shoot this tank in the front with AP round but unable to penetrate. i got 203 pen power and i saw your armor inspection and it shows only about 73. i shot this target 4 times lower and upper but none penetrate. why? i was on higher ground facing this tank.
Hope you enjoyed the preview of this vehicle! Let me know what you think about the STRV S1.
Looks pretty nice!
QuickyBaby awesome
Since im swedish, i approve this!
Does 91mm and above caliber HE overmatch as well?
Grigor Simeonov do not think HE or HEAT can overmatch anything
14:15
"[the Defender] got 230 [penetration], wich is excellent but it's fairly standard for tier VIII"
Cries in IS-6.
KV 5, still have no idea where to shoot the new german "MiniMaus" heavies and that damn Defender.
There's a reliable spot to shoot the Defender and "MiniMaus"? Last time I checked it was all about 210-220mm+.
you have no chance to pen the VK100.01 (P) unless its facing you straight on (using prem ammo hit the lower plate), or get its side flat on (not the turret). The defender you would have to shoot for the hatches on top, but thats a pretty small target, if you have it's side, aim below the body and above the middle of the road wheels, or load premium for the side. If you have troubles penetrating a certain tank go to tanks.gg and search the tank, you can use that to see different armor effectiveness from different angles, just remember what your penetration is.
if facing the tier 8 "MiniMaus" straight on its about 200mm thick on the lower plate, if its at its most optimal angle for both side and frontal armor its about 240-250mm thick (at this point you shoot the side of the tank next to the track and lower plate roughly 190mm thick at that angle). the tumor is about 220mm thick at the front, so if you have the penetration, go for it you have to hit it pretty square on though.
the defender is the most formidable tier 8 tank frontally, its lower plate is about 215-230mm thick straight on, so the only real weak spot is the 150mm hatches, but they can be hard to hit. Seriously though, use tanks.gg its a very useful site
It's the same for the 112 too..
The Defender's 230 standard pen is "fairly standard for tier eights", my IS-6 has 217 on the premium rounds /cry
Your IS-6 has better MM
IS-6 doesn't meet tier 10 tanks, so its penetration is lower, however its penetration does have a hard time contesting the armor of equal tier well armored heavies
Ubersonic the defender is completely Overpowered in every single way, playing Tiger2 has never been so painful.
I accept IS-6 meet tier 10, if it has a defender's gun.
that could be better for grinding and save more credit.
Ubersonic but that has pref. matchmaking
You forgot one thing, the strv literally dont bloom at all as if you were stationary even when turning the tank inside the siege mode. It can snapshot at max accuracy
Yeah, it does that in real life too, that is like one of its key features. And btw strv literally translates to "tank".
If only it was painted in gray, looks kind of like that flipping car thing from Fast and Furious
I wonder why people get so asspained over a premium TD that is almost exactly like the existing non-premium TD...
I don't see the point of complaining about all this, it's not overpowered and no one is forcing anyone to buy it. If you want it, buy it, if you don't want it, don't buy it, simple as that.

Isn't that pretty much every single TD in the game if they're played well?
The udes has 288 mm of pen........
I've played a few hundred games with this tank.
I'm enjoying the sniper aspect of it, and as long as you get 1 hit with the thing, you'll make money.
I'm still training my crew, and it's got ludicrous camo and spotting range. I find that not engaging early is the best chance for survival. Wait for the high spotting light tanks to be taken care of, then you can get around and do some damage.

People start off as noobs and then some remain noobs after 30k games :D
My 22.3% win rate after 46,000 battles says your wrong.
PickelJars ForHillary wow, I would of given up a long time ago if those were my stats. don't you get frustrated?
No because he's joking fool.
22.3% winrate is very impressive!
You literally have to be trying to lose.
Combine that with being able to not annoy people so much as to report you enough after those 46k battles!
thats just me xD i have 9k battles and still have 45 win i suck so hard in this game... but im rich! (without gold)
I guess the best thing about the tank is the siege mode exiting time over the UDES .
I want this tank because of the suspension and gun
The swedish TD's from tier8 to 10 reminds me of Sniper Elite games.
You carry a big accurate sniper gun.
You have to keep distance, because if the enemy get closer, you die.
You have to be EXTREMELY sneaky.
Get this tank + premium account = lots of credits.
Here is why i am a free to play player and never spend a cent on WOT:
1. Its a virtual game. Nothing you buy is guaranteed to be yours for the lifetime of the game.
2. Who knows if WOT will be there in a few years time? Anything can happen.
3. I'd rather spend that money buying other games on steam and enjoying variety.
4. If i buy premium tanks/premium account, i will be 'forced' to play because otherwise i would be wasting money which i dont like the idea of.
Sam Host 1-3 are true, but you're not forced to play prem Tanks because you already should noticed that you wasted money for virtual stuff
+Sam Host i agree, but if you buy other games youre kinda forced to play them too right?
So you're a f2p leech who thinks people should work for free? OK
Nothing you buy is guaranteed to last you a lifetime
I like this game and i have more fun if i spend money on it because i get things done faster, not a waste in my opinion
Just got this puppy. I thought my su-122-44 was a beast and the strv s1 is hands down 10x better. My favorite tank thus far
I love my s1 to pieces but I never felt it fair to be considered a tier 8 tank and obviously tier 8 mm because 3/4 modules are tier 9-10
I actually feel kind of bad hiding back unseen when top tier and blowing those poor 6's back to the garage.
Thank you for listing the various ways of taking this tank on! Really makes it easier!
I just bought this tank yesterday and it’s amazing
So the American 105 at tier 7 and laughably 8 only gets 320 alpha but everyone else gets 390? Neat
Black2thedGrin tiger 1 an tiger 2 my friend. 240 -320
Black2thedGrin TDs always do more DMG with the same caliber than heavies until you reach t9
@@SmellsVishy m4a1 relavorise with 390 alpha

EirikXL yea but you never need prem shells in this tank
bro he is using premium consumable
the tank you are using doesn't matter idiot
they are both tier 8
same repair cost
Shadow, that's not true. Ammo cost, repair cost, credit earnings everything has a coefficient, and that is not the same on all tier 8 prems.
Well in that game he did NOT had damage blocked by armour, plus again as the other guy said, he used a premium consumable.
Well quickybaby you said heat will only ricochet from 85° so if you are on a ridgeline you point your gun and hull upwards to make it flat causing all heat to ricochet as well
3k dmg in my 3rd game but the trash match making compensates for the 288 pen. Out of 10, 0 top tiers, for a good reason. Good tank.
I'm not a great player, but I purchased the S1 today and I simply love it!! I really like the playstyle and I was doing well right from the first battle. :)
Good maths there QB. Never knew something could be smaller than equals to a number. Use the Croc mouth with a line underneath next time.
haven't tried out the Swedish hydroneumatic TD's on the test server, but if WG is going to be offering one for sale in the premium shop, I definitely will be looking to pick one up and giving the TD a thorough once over! Thanks!
I liked the notes you put on screen. for some reason works better with me.
I just bought this tank yesterday and I am still learning how to play it correctly but I have learned a few things in it so far.
#1: you absolutely shit on teirs 6-8 when you are the top of the list.
And #2: you also shit on teirs 8-10 but only until they get tired of you, see you, and end your annoying life lol
10/10 love this tank already.
OK, I have a question, why would one choose to use HEAT over HE when firing on one of these tanks? Unless you have a small gun that is.
Nice, I will make sure to play tanks with large caliber guns next 3 weeks while the sale is on ;)
I LOVE driving my strb-b i'm considering this premium tank for credit farming. I had my crew since i started on the very first td and i've kept them and re-trained them every step all the way to tier 10. i ditched the tier 9 tank but i kept the UDES. currently i'm 3 skills into that second crew now. this tank will help train them over fast and will be great with my current tier 10 crew in it.
currently on both tanks i have now i run Camo Netting, Vents, binocs. skill wise max on cammo + 6th sense and repairs (for those pesky trackings i will take. Consumeables i'm running large repair / large first aid / fire extinguisher. i do get set on fire quite a bit. i've thought about dropping it for the cinnabuns but i'm not sure if i should.
also i need to point out the amount of hate i keep getting while driving this tank. everyone calls me noob for snipe camping in the back yelling at me when i'm top tier or close saying i'm doing nothing and useless playing a turret and i should be playing a real tank. (think of it as the same hate hate for call of duty snipers). I do find i'm usually one of the last to go down due to the insane camo ratings you can get with this thing and it's speed repositoning. I had one 4k damage game that we lost because we needed to assault. (and the scouts that were left were pretty worthless in potting the last few enemies thus i had to risk the tank in the front line and got worn down.
remeber kids .. DO NOT GO RUSHING!!
UDES 03 is more sneaky it can tilts the gun upwards and also get aPCR as standard shell with 288 pen
I can't wait for it to come back to the premium shot, I'm definitely buying it because I missed the first time
Looks like another premium thats actually better than its standart counterpart. On sale today for the next 20 days, I see lots of them flooding the Tier8 Gameplay the next weeks.
It's worse than UDES
The problem is, you make any tank look awesome!
I feel that as a free to play player, it is time to take a break until the game has changed.
It has more penetration than the FV 4005´s ap rounds in its special rounds
ANOTHER premium? This is getting pretty silly.
why? It's a free game, they need to make money somehow :)
it's what the community want to train the crew for the Swedish TD's
at least you can argue this one was "needed" unlike the 50 million soviet heavies
Konstantin Dufnik no he is right, well exagerating about making the money, but all the other things about WoT is true
+Konstantin Dufnik Actually he had lot of better points than you.
Thank you QuickyBaby.
You aint right QB, you have to load He not AP if you dont have apcr since He will 100% pen copola if hit , if not hit tank for slight , and if apcr hit copola = less damage , if hit tank bounce , so yea.
Greetings from California QB! Great review and excellent information all around. I look forward to your new videos and still watch your series on tips at owning the game. Keep it coming, cheers!!
Haha, saw this thing today morning in the premium shop. Never heard of it nor did google find anything. Then I though Quickybaby surely has something already on it, seems I was right.
So, looks like avoiding any brawling is important. But that's the role and the S1 looks competent.
He need this pen to "balance" the defender and such tanks in the future...
This should be the tier 8. Maybe with the UDES as another option like the JagdPanther and Ferdi
I ground out the UDES and finally got a MoE. I'm kind of annoyed that WG is putting out a premium with essentially better armor and way better mobility in siege mode. Makes this version much more survivable, which is practically non-existent for the UDES. Will WG buff the speed in siege mode or just buy the better tank? Great preview QB as always.
Hey GamerDad, the UDES, as I mentioned, is still the better sniper with better camo and mobility. Play it ultra sneaky! This vehicle is more like a T8 version of the T9 STRV 103-0 so if you want to see how it plays try that tank out :)
Guys, watch the intro on 0.5 speed! It's drunkbaby! Btw great review as always! :D
Hope they add the FV4401 Contentious, it's the British Strv with less armour. Might make a good British T7 or T8 premium
omg i was looking for something to watch before going to bed. you are my saviour.
Enjoyed the video, found it useful, educational, inspiring and entertaining!
As a Swede, I looooove the S!
Look at that fucking bloom after firing!!!
It's not like it matters.
Bought mine just this last week.
If the wife finds out I'm saying it was QuickyBabies fault for making me buy one!.
People be like "EHRMAHRGARHD OVERPOWERED PREMIUM AGAIN HURR DURR DURR!!!!!!"
For urine's sake, this thing has the same gun as on the standard T8 TD with less accuracy. It has a bit more armor, but it is still as overmatchable as an IS-4's roof weakspot, just that this TD here has it in 90%+ of it's whole tank. The speed is worse in every single aspect than the UDES, just the siege mode is a bit better due to faster exit and faster speedlimit inside it.
That's it. If this is overpowered, then the Sexton premium arty is also OP. Rudy is also OP. IS-2B is OP.
Seems like dumb people confuse "overpowered" with "normal" and "balanced". Seems also that they only want absolutely shite premium tanks.
Those are also oftenly people who play their KV-2s and IS-3s and other overfuckingpowered normally-achievable tanks all the time. By the words of Franklin Clinton: Punkassfools.
The funny thing is them saying every new premium is OP is like crying wolf. In the end wargaming will just ignore them and release premium tanks that are actually OP like the Obj 252.
8bpspfreak2 strv have better gun
a bit more armor? Stvr has 50% more armor also is 60% faster in siege mode
(where it matters) even QB admits this is better than UDES, I wont say its op but is clearly better than its tech tree counterpart
you must be kidding. Strv S1 is definetely OP. Udes is a good bush cancer. nothing more. this thing plays ridgelines head to head with a multitude of tiers and face to face with 7 and lower tiers.
@@Vrey662 50% more armor? you mean 500%. Strv S1 bounces at least 50 times more shells than the udes. Udes can be easily raped by fast toothpicks.
I like it when im searching youtube for a new QB video and i go to my subscribtion box and i see a new qb video from 1 minute ago.
I played in the strv s1 and I love this vehicle great if you love TD's if you don't like TD's don't get it
Seems great ! Thanks for the preview ! :D
Why do people say it's overpowered , it's actually a little worse than the udes
" a little worse" udes has 20/20/20 armour strv s1 has 30/30/30 armour the strv s1 also has a better rate of fire then the udes
yet u somehow think its worse then the udes
does anyone actualy use the udes 3's ability to raise its gun over small ridgelines by angeling the gun to the maximum depression, then aiming normaly, effectively moving the gun up because the gun itself can point up relative to the hull
Got one. Love it. But I have a lot to do to improve my play. Thanks much.
4:12 Laughs in T-10 and Obj 277
All I can think about when looking at this tank is that: what were the Swedish thinking when they came up with that design? Why is the gun fixed into the hull? There's propably a good reason why within the long history of tank-design, no nation *ever* came up with a tank that has completely fixed gun with absolutely no traverse at all.
Azure Templar there are several videos and articles you can read about it. WG has even uploaded videos on their channel. but basically, sweden streamlined their designs for fighting in sweden. waiting in ambush on ridges or other positions to get the shot of, then fall back to another position and set up ambush
Why the FUCK do the TDs have 288 mm of pen at tier 8.
That is crazy stupid WG.
Remember, they have to face tier 10 tanks.
Yes. But even tier 9 tank destroyers don't get penetration that high.
That's like saying "oh tier 6s should have penetration buffs because they can see tier 8".
Literally no tier 8 heavy tank can block 288mm of pen. Poor old KV4 with it's flat armour.
Sniping td's usually have high penetration.
it could have it's Historical 311 pen so it's not all bad..+ the hydropneumatic suspension can be used on the move and not compromise the speed it has in the game
288 is such a power creep. This is a game not a historical simulator, and the penetration needs a nerf.
too bad it won't appear in the in game shop for gold cause clan wars award gold but then sells gold...because reasons...And community contributers don't speak about this...plz comment or raise your voice hoping that wg hears about this...I have made a forum thread called 'More tanks in the in game shop'!feel free to say your opinion!
They've probably ran out of money, two goddamn OPAF premtanks in less than 2 months? They never learn: buying a Bugatti Veyron to all WG employees is not healthy to the pocket, but they keep doing it!
This game is so popular now that they can afford to to do such things and still make money, because they know people will buy it anyway (too many addicts haha). It's like raising your taxes in Stronghold Crusader when your popularity is through the roof.
Or maybe they really need a lot of money for something really big, like the new graphics. Although I think the first option is the answer. Why? Because they can.
Hello QuickyBaby, congratulations for your videos, they are the best. Just a question, how can I review a recorded battle making the camera fly all over the scenery?
On that last fight at the end there against the skorpion, you shouldn't have entered siege mode. You should have just rushed him head on and face hugged him, I don't think then he would be able to depress his gun far enough to hit you. But even then, you would at least guarantee you hitting your shot, instead of missing it like you did.
I was wondering when this was coming, planning on getting one so I can train a crew. Seen it in the game, I have the techtree that shows the hidden vehicles.
I don't know if it's just because I'm not used to Siege mode or what, but I seem to get spotted before I can even see anyone and die. I don't even have a chance to fire a shot
Thanks fro the preview. One question, though. Why does the Hit log say "dead" next to each hit you make?
On first battle i did 3.3k dmg thanks of you QuickyBaby! You told me how to play it :D
At least WarGaming are learning that making a premium vehicle worse than its main tree counterpart, but rewarded with more XP and credits is a good idea. Better than just making OP premiums.
It looks good, except on city maps with flat terrain. Thank you for this video.
I want this tank!
Could you make a video on this tank on how to use the seage mode. I've watched some people play this tank and they make it do some crazy things like make it look like a cobra raising up and striking. Just don't know how to raise the tank up front and back at the same time while raising the gun to shoot like I've seen others do. It's just insane.
19:33 first tier 8 swedish tank in the game
I fell love with this tank so good
i like it nice tank and video but how is the price and how u get it before its in the premium shop?
meet the great accuracy with the penetration of isu-152
I think I will love the tank
making campaign TD missions easy?
also moneymaker supreme since you almost never need prem ammo
seriously considering buying one to train my swedish girls crew
Why is this not the regular T8 Swedish TD and the UDES the premium?!
Yeah its really weird as the S1 prototype leads straight to the S-tank where as the Udes is a different branch of development.
Exactly!
Hi Quicky. Great video and very helpful. One Quicky question for you. I have zero experience with this hydraulic system of changing the height of the tank. What key do you press to activate it. And yes, I looked everywhere for an answer. Thanks in advance, Dep.
Disregard. Found it when I went into settings and controls. X marks the spot :-) Still a great video Quicky.
A sniper doesn't need that much of a mobility once he is in his nest
Hello QuickyBaby ! congratulation for your channel is really well done! One question: I recently bought the STRV S1 and I like it. However I struggle to find the right spot or position. Can you please give me some hints about the starting of the game? Thanks
Is it me, or it is just better then UDES? I get it, moves "slower" but the armor and "siege mode time" just worth the 20 less speed forward.
It's faster, smaller, more accurate, has much better camo, and has a more flexible gun (UDES is the only tank in game who can elevate it's whole tank and gun against obstacles - not terrain - due to its ability to elevate the gun). So yeah, different playstyle, basically in the same powerlevel.
The armor in this thing Still doesn't really matter
I bounce so many suprising shots with strv, believe me or not.
nice review, why can you see all the crewskills even at that number of skills?
I was honestly hoping for a Lorraine40t review and unfortunately was disappointed with this failure of a vehicle. No static gun TD is worth the gold in this game a part from the E-25 and SU-122-44.
no doubt strv s1 demand a lot of skill, but that is what we players live for, the challenge:). Keep on going quickybaby, I love your rewievs and replays.
Quicky or anyone else if you wouldnt mind; for someone just starting up and wanting to go for one TD line, what are the benefits with skorpion TD vs this s1? Id like to have an allround strong TD, and the swedish one may be a bit too much about sniping?
No mention of the crew? Is it the Commander, Driver, and Radio Operator?
Will get the S1 but I love my UDES
i currently waiting for the T92 light... now that comes out and i want that as well and the liberte if it comes out without camo
Looks amazing. Been waiting for this :)
How do you show all the acquired skill and perks instead of having them as x4 in the garage?
It.s a bit different, but it's fun. Mind you, I quite like the Archer. LOL
QB, in your opinion, which tank in WOT is the most OP?
question is. i use panther 8,8 and i shoot this tank in the front with AP round but unable to penetrate.
i got 203 pen power and i saw your armor inspection and it shows only about 73.
i shot this target 4 times lower and upper but none penetrate.
why? i was on higher ground facing this tank.
Hey Quicky Baby im playing the Churchill 1 rn is there any other tanks that u recommend that I should play
