  • The Super Hellcat is an upgunned variant of the M18 Hellcat with a 90mm cannon and a more heavily armored turret. Is it worth the purchase, though? I go over that and more in this full review of the Super Hellcat!

      ​​​@@legendbee9579It doesn't if you're aware and plan your moves correctly. Shoot tank X with APHE, switch to HE and blow up the Hellcat. Don't make them aware of you before you've already loaded HE. Or get back into cover after the first shot while loading HE. If you're out in the open 100% relying on shooting first and getting the kill it's not a surprise that you get blown up while loading He.

    There should be some in game reward for people who help stuck or flipped vehicles. Not something huge (to stop people from spamming this), but at least something to make it worthwhile to help people. As it is, most times I get flipped over, people ignore my pleas for help.

      @Neckstabba 9 месяцев назад

      I agree. The A7K is a really pain to spade but once you got the targeting pod and mavericks it's sooo good. Staying low in top tier and just popping up to blast enemy SAM's is so awesome.
      You can also go for the enemy Helis with them and also have an easy time spotting them due to that. You can also spawn the F16A if playing 12.0 or the F4E if playing 11.3 or 11.0 as they are both fighters and don't get a SP increase when you take out the A7K.

  • @Vins9393
    @Vins9393 9 месяцев назад +1

    This time i have to disagree. I advise to everyone to first use the M18 and to see if it fits your gameplay and the maps. There are not many maps for vehicles like that. Personally i won't spend GE for such a vehicle with no stabilizer, slower than an M18 for just a better gun ! At 6.3 the german bulldog is way better.
    Consider also that the hellcat doesn't really have a good lineup at 6.3 !

  • @Zealot2024
    @Zealot2024 9 месяцев назад +1

    Unparalleled ability to flank and kill? Haha. Funny. The 90mm gun is absolutely terrible. It has no stabilizer and on these tiny maps that gaijin always makes us play on it cant do it's job. At best its situationally adequate on large open maps and at worst it's a walking-ammo rack that cant penetrate what it has to fight.

    • @Vins9393
      @Vins9393 9 месяцев назад

      EXACTLY. So i just prefer to keep the free m18 in my lineup in case there is an open map where i can scout. Otherwise these kind of vehicles are super hard to use. Overall the super hellcat at 6.3

    • @wallachia4797
      @wallachia4797 9 месяцев назад +3

      Sounds like a complete skill issue.
      The M18 and especially the Super Hellcat are some of the best tanks in the game tier-for-tier.
      It's by far one of the best light tanks in the game, one of the most powerful overall, and dare I say one of the easiest.
      If you can't manage a KD of at least 3:1 with these things, then you are just a horrible player.

    • @WatchMysh
      @WatchMysh 9 месяцев назад

      No offense, but If you need a stab to make the Hellcats work you're doing it wrong. If they both were stabilized they wouldn't be at 5.7/6.3 also which would make them a lot harder to play. Flank, position and them move as little as possible. The Hellcats excel on small maps because they can switch position quickly and gain weird angles on people they don't expect.

    • @Zealot2024
      @Zealot2024 9 месяцев назад

      @@WatchMysh The 76mm equipped M4A1 (4.7) and M4A2 (5.3), and M4A3 (5.7) are all stabilized, way more survivable, and only marginally slower than their hellcat equivalent. They can all use hills and other cover much more effectively than the hellcats, as well as fight better in close quarters situations since you dont have to deal with bouncing guns when youre trying to surprise opponents. Same gun, same rounds, and roughly the same speed in almost all situations. You are better off using any of the 76mm shermans, and any "surprise" or positional factor that you can get out of the m18s you can also get out of the shermans.
      Edit* the shermans also have faster reloads

    • @WatchMysh
      @WatchMysh 9 месяцев назад +1

      @@Zealot2024 They are not only "marginally" slower. The M18 can also reach positions the Sherman physically can't or will have a hard time at least. I play them almost every day and the Hellcat is completely different (I agree @ cqc). Still both great tanks (A3/M18). But you do you, I won't argue. If you can't capitalize on the M18s strengths, then I'm obviously playing a different game. ;)
      //edit: also don't mix up speed and agility. The M18 is way more agile than the Shermans, which can be succesfully exploited. :) You also surprise people by just being somewhere they don't expect. Don't jump out of cover with that bouncy gun. That's a job for like you said: stabilized Shermans. Ever took into account they might just fit your play style better without being generally superior?
