Is there anything that Quickybaby can't get an Ace in? Ex: "Let's take a look at the brand new tier 2 premium German vehicle, the Zündapp KS 750. Unlike most other tanks, this one is simply a motorcycle with a sidecar, meaning it only has a crew of two. It has no armor and any HE shell that detonates near it has a chance of killing both crew, taking you out of the game without actually destroying your bike. It can't ram, can only equip a camo net, has the highest chance of fire of any vehicle in the game, 40%, and only has a machine gun as its main armament with poor penetration with no premium rounds. Let's see some Ace Tanker gameplay." Seriously, WarGaming could put a motorized dumpster in the game armed with only a firehose and Quickybaby would still get an Ace Tanker badge.
Except Ace Tanker is based on other people's performance in the vehicle, so the worse the tank, the easier it is for a good player to ace. He just has to use the firehose better than everyone else.
Actually QB, the lower fire change is historical. The M4A2 was largely a lendlease tank outside of its use by the USMC in the Pacific. This was because it used a diesel engine, which did have a lower chance of fire.
They just do not know what they are talking about. Yes, diesel has far lower chance at catching fire, because it needs far greater pressure and spark to ignite it. You can try to set diesel on fire. Give your kid matches and bunch of diesel and he will fail in setting diesel on fire. On the other hand, he will ignite gas without problem.
Still a busted myth, getting hit by any AP- or tankround will set diesel on fire as easy as gas. The Chieftan did a tanktalk on that subject a couple of years ago, look it up.
Nichol Shim the sherman was one of the most prolific tanks of ww2 and even used by militaries worldwide into the 60s/70s with modifications. Just take a look at the Israeli M4s, they were pretty exceptional with the modifications and with well trained crews
The Revalorise IS the Israeli Sherman. As for missing Sherman variants, there's still the Egyptian Sherman with AMX 13 turret, Yugoslavian Sherman with 122mm cannon, the Sherman with 90mm and Pershing turret, the M36 variant that was an M36 turret on a Sherman hull, and the Chilean Sherman with the 60mm hypervelocity gun, though that one might be too new for the game.
UnlimitedSpadeWorks Right for all intents and purposes the revalorise is the M-51 super sherman, I was merely using israel as an example. Interestingly enough on the M-50 variant, they slapped the KwK 42 L/70 75mm from the panther in as a gun option in addition to traditional armament option as the 105 howizter and 76 etc. May sound like useless information but since the Sherman had so many variants it feels like the ultimate lego set and imo is just fascinating
So, just take an M4, put a new skin on it and fiddle slightly with a couple of stats? You wouldn't say this is just a lazy, cynical effort? I suppose you wouldn't... Perhaps I'll wait for the Latvian M4.
It was only meant to appear on RU as a part of an historical event that inc this tank. But EU and NA whined that RU got something they did not get. Thus it's here to.
the problem with this tank is that the M4A2s is more of a tank for 5.5 or tier 5 heavy/medium-ish instead of 6 medium. If it was a tier 5 with the same DPM as an M4, then it would be a great tank.
Tbf they probably added it to pander to russian patriotism, with tanks like the thunderbolt (abrams' tank) and fury (hollywood movie) making a Stronk Russian Tank referring to a Brave Russian Hero driver. Should sell like hotcakes (or should I say chepa vodka?) in Russia even if it's a worse tank.
Just another fucking reskin, thanks WG! I don't mind historical tanks but don't just put a fancy paintjob on a tank and call it a day, I mean, we already have 2 Sherman reskins, isn't that enough?
MKRocker94 not really.. The soviets actually had some very good tank designs from the ww2 all the way into the coldwar era, usually tailered to their tactical and stratigic needs(which also means they might become crap when taken out of the soviet army tactics). And by good I mean having great performance/cost comparing to similar tanks at its time. Some easy examples are early T-34s, T54/55, T62 and T64. These tanks had great revolutionary designs for its time, and made some significant impact on tank design of other countries as well. That's also one of the reasons why great tanks like Leo2 and M1 were born during the cold war era. Since the Soviets were building scary tanks(T64 and T72), it's bad if you don't have anything to compete with them.
MKRocker94 If you match up the counterparts that were about an even match, it's T-34 vs Pz4-F2 or higher varients, T-54/55 vs M48/Centurion/Leopard1, T-62 vs M60/later version Leopard1, T-64 vs ...(There was a period when T-64>all, until stuff like Challenger1, Leo2 and M1 came about. To put it into perspective, imagine a tank with the mobility of a leopard1, frontal armor of an IS7, and a 125mm smooth bore cannon that fires APFSDS at 1800m/s muzzle velocity with an autoloader. That's how scary the T64 was back in the days
MKRocker94 While They often aged old, Soviet tanks were a masterpiece og engineering, easy to fix, build and train on. And while Many know of the zerg tactics of the T34s at the mid-end of the war, the tanks were actually widely feared by the Panzer III and early variants of the Panzer IV drivers. Not to mention I wonder What the germans would Think about the T44, If Staling didnt decide to favour the T34 so much
Compared to other tier6 mediums, yes this is indeed bad, most other do have from 140-150 pen, still useless vs tier8, but with 128 you will bounce alot even on tier7 heavys
tbh, 128 pen on a tier 6 med is not great. Cromwell has 145 to name one, and mobility. I mean most LT's at tier 6 have more pen then that. And most tier 8 meds with a 122mm have pref MM. US Sherman's don't. And considering the armor on tier 8 of late, you can see how bad 128 pen is.
128 works just fine at tier 6, that's what all the americans with 76mms work with and none of them are bad. Just because the cromwell is overpowered with its ridiculous mobility and firepower doesn't mean anything less is bad.
Exactly, it works at tier 6. But when facing tier 7 and 8 armor more or less all the time vs tier 4 to 6. It's not ideal, even less when a tier 6 light has way more pen then you. It's the reason why I don't own an Easy 8. And why I run a stock turret and derp on the Jumbo. The 128 pen on the 76mm is just a waste of time atm.
The Arisen All a2 models of Sherman's had diesel engines and were made by Americans. It wasn't the engines causing mass fires anyways, if it was the engines and if they were losing mass amounts of Shermans to fires, Americans would have switched to making a2 variants - but they didn't. The thing that caused fires was the ammo, which they quickly fixed by making wet ammo storage.
All other Sherman variations (apart from the M4A6 of which about 30 were made) used petrol engines M4 and M4A1 used a modified aircraft engine, A3 used the Ford GAA and the A4 used the Chrysler multibank
According to Operation Think Tank, the marines went with diesel Shermans because they were available. Had they gone with petrol they would have had to wait a further 6 months to get them. If I recall the british also got M4A2, but I think they shipped most of them on to the Soviet union as well.
A neat little trick for aggressive Sherman drivers is the fact when you do shoot and scoot the armor shifts as your stopping your frontal armor actually drops about 5 degrees add in the 5 degrees from the ballistic mechanics, you can lose a lot of armor, however if you know the cannons reload time you can also use this by backing up and slamming the breaks, it often tilts up the armor and makes that -10 go in your favor with +10. Its not much of a help, but if your careful enough and create a steep angle using the breaking system then you can do crazy things like bounce KV2 ammo off the standard M4 American Tank (It can work on any tank with a awkward sloped angle front). Hope this trick might be able to help out someone. It does take some getting used too though, if you mess up or miss-judge something you will possibly be at the disadvantage this doesn't help when side scraping often if you get tracked before the breaks it will swing out your hull into a easy to pen location. I hope this info helps! :D
Also keep in mind most American Mediums were designed around the concept of flanking cavilry tactics as well as enemy line disruption, the Sherman's were designed to multi-purpose, scouting, tank combat, infantry support, location defense, each Sherman variant had its specialty but all could do these things as well, a neat little thing I've noticed about American tanks is after under 1/2 aim-time circle most of the shots go off to the lower right and center points, if you aim at the side you can use this to track or even still hit a big target with estimation shots (I don't have a max crew so I cant tell you if it will be different with one)
Depends on the angle but yes, it only works on vehicles that have suspension systems similar to the Sherman, it has to have an OK rocking effect when you hit your breaks. It allows you to create some interesting hate for people who try to snipe your commanders hatch. Its very situational, but practice will help it
Thank you for your videos, every couple days I tend to get burnt out with world of tanks but then I watch one of your videos and I'm sucked right back in.
Because you cant put non-powercrepp tanks in an already powercrept environment and expect them to be fun. This tank would be fine if the powercreep hadnt already happened, but it did. Thats not QBs fault for once.
He wants unique prem tanks that are balanced.. something with story, nice design, features and something unique Why not give this tank a fancy model and new voices for the commander? What about other ammunition on a russian tank than on the normal us one? There are plenty of oppurtunities missed here
The biggest problem is that a low-pen, tier 6 premium is now at a disadvantage with the current matchmaking which now puts you bottom-tier in tier 8 battles 90% of the time, make it harder to get damage to get the premium bonuses without shooting a lot of gold
I think that the reason the M4A2 has a lower chance of catching fire is that US/UK Shermans all used gasoline engines, but the soviets used mostly diesel engines, so Lend-Lease M4's to the soviets all had diesel engines and diesel fuel is less flammable than gasolene.
Loza's real life Sherman was a 76mm M4A2, which actually had a 375hp diesel. That accounts for the lower fire chance. So Wargaming's actually buffed the horsepower compared to the real-life tank. I do think they should bundle it with a brothers in arms crew
Meh. The better tier 6 mediums are so good though that being bottom tier doesn't matter that much. They can easily deal with tier 7s, and they never meet more than 3 tier 8s.
This has gone live. It was in a match just now, but the driver was sniping from the K line in Prokhorovka, so he didn't do much once the team pushed past the ridge line. I'd like to see a review of the live version.
NICK THE GREEK these tanks are justified under a lend lease system. That is why you generally only have another nations tank between the allies or axis, not with each other.
Well, WOWs already has the Makarov, which was a german Light Cruiser, that is already ingame, handed over to Russia after WW2, and I suspect, if russian Battleships are coming, they will get the Noworossijsk, which is also already ingame as an italian battleship. :P And WoT already has on PC the Pudel, which is a looted Panther for the Polish.... Not to mention the german and french low tier tanks. :)
Doesnt have to be lend lease. During WW2 there were some Captured Tigers on the Allied forces, US and all. Hell the Russians had a tank platoon consisting of captured German Tigers and Panthers and Panzers. Though it was rare as ammo was scarce if the original gun was kept and the parts for the vehicles were hard to get.
LAUGH OUT LOUD! they did on the console , WG took the Tiger 2 and put an American star on it and called it a Captured Tiger. You know WG will re skin most tanks and everyone will want one and then sell it as they soon realise that they are not special compared to the Tech tree version.
I love watching you, your great for commentaries, and gaming...good luck! See you at 1,000,000 subs, i'd absolutely love if your channel got 1,000,000 someday! I Wish The Best Of Luck!!!
From historical perspetive. Shermans shiped to Soviet union had diesel engines unlike ones mant for US. That is why WG made it with less chance on catching fire
My favorite Sherman is the Jumbo. I finally managed to obtain 3 Marks few days ago...it took me 2200 battles (exactly). My damage record is around 4600 damage done at Prokhorovka, but that was truly hard game, when I lost in the end. Still got the replay somewhere (I will upload it at WoTReplays website).
It's a little weird that I get a book about the Soviet lend-lease tanks with the Emcha (the M sound is obvious but the cha comes from the shorting of the Eastern Slavic word for the number 4)with the 76 gun on the cover today and with this video coming out. Also, the reason why the M4A2 has a lower chance of catching of fire is that the A2 had a diesel engine which has the myth of being less flammable than the regular gas/petrol engines of the A1 and A3's.
The US built a Sherman prototype with a Pershing turret and 90mm gun. Several years ago there existed a WoT tank icon for this vehicle indicating WG had plans to put it into the game.
This is NOT Loza's Sherman! Not even from the same (mech.) corp. This is '936' of 3rd Ukrainian Front, 1st guards mech. corp., 9th guards tank brigade, 2nd bttn., 2nd squadron. Loza was commander of 2nd Ukrainian Front, 9th mech. corp., 46th guards tank brigade, 1st tank bttn., so theoretically his turret number was '03', not even close to '936'! (I think I have a pic of his KOd tank in Austria, April, 1945) i.imgur.com/FTs5aHN.jpg
Nice vid QB! I've had my eye on this tank for a while. Will pick it up when it comes out, (depending on price of course) especially now knowing you get 6th sense for free. I really like Shermans.
If I remember correctly speed come from that this Russian version has different transmission and better values in fire come from that this is diesel version. Americans used petrol versions. So some historical accuracy in this.
Looks like a decent premium to me, it is basically a slightly worse standard tank while still being quite usable in the match ups that the tank it is based off of is usable in.
WG could put different premiums into the game. One of the proposed Ikv 65 designs had a turret with basically the same hull and gun. They could tweak the gun stats and camo values to have a perfectly balanced tank, that would bring variety to the game.
Saw this tank in the shop again. I think it would be fair to compare it to the T-34-85M and Rudy, and it doesn't look good for the Loza. Rate of fire and gun handling (arguable at that) is your only advantage. If you're after crew, the Rudy is also currently on sale and you get all four zero-skills rather than just the commander. If you're after mobility, go for a tech tree Sherman. I have mixed feelings about this tank. On one hand it fulfills the original objective of keeping premium tanks worse than tech tree equivalents. On the other, we have competitive beasts like the Defender and Skorpion that you can spend money on instead.
This is what WG should be doing... Put in premium tanks that people think are good additions to their collections... There are enough money makers and OP novelties. Glad to see they are looking out for the collectors and doing normal premium stuff
LOL i find it funny that people cry about when wg make a good tank and the call them op ect but they make a avg tank and people say its shit and not to buy it.
Because the OP tanks are already in the game. It makes perfect sense to want balance, yet at the same time not wanting an actually balanced tank as long as the overpowered tanks are just as easy to get.
Erasernz People aren't complaining because the Loza tank is average, they are complaining because it's a lazy reskin of a tank that is already in the game. In other words, they are complaining about the lack of originality.
Thanks QB, looking at the Sherman Birthday bundle, guess I will pass on it. Dont need 3 more of the same damn tank, even though the Fury is pretty sweet looking.
I feel like Premium Crews should be a practical thing. Let's say they are exclusive to tanks of one assigned nation, but you can put them in any vehicle of that nation without penalty. Perhaps have 'em come with a free brothers in arms and a free extra skill. When they introduced female crews, I had hoped it'd be like that... anyway, what do yall think? They wouldn't mean a huge competitive advantage, whilst being practical and a sweet feature.
funny how he never is in one of those frustrating tier 8 games he talks about ,where he is the first one blown up in 2 min ,every video I see ,he is on the top although his comparisons are very good with the different tanks .
Vehicles with 15% chance of being set on fire are diesel engines. If it says 20%, then it's gasoline. The Soviets must have pulled the American gasoline engine out and replaced it with one of their diesel truck engines. The Soviets would put diesel truck engines in their tanks to get greater economy of scale when purchasing for both their trucks and their tanks. Replacement parts that are produced natively are also better than having to import parts.
sorry QB this has nothing to do with this video, its just i really want to see more about you and peppy on this channel. something just like a simple vlog or Q&A video, because you guys are so cute
Is there anything that Quickybaby can't get an Ace in?
Ex: "Let's take a look at the brand new tier 2 premium German vehicle, the Zündapp KS 750. Unlike most other tanks, this one is simply a motorcycle with a sidecar, meaning it only has a crew of two.

Seriously, WarGaming could put a motorized dumpster in the game armed with only a firehose and Quickybaby would still get an Ace Tanker badge.
Well, when you are driving the tank early, and there aren't a lot of them out there, it will of course be easier to ace.
Except Ace Tanker is based on other people's performance in the vehicle, so the worse the tank, the easier it is for a good player to ace. He just has to use the firehose better than everyone else.
LOL! I know right! here is a brown paper bag....
Kendai Asagiri Qb can use a farming tractor and still get 3k dmg.
@Kendai Asagiri - git gud and spot, right? xD
The Diesel engine is the reason it has lower horsepower and lower fire chance
Ace Republic sit down.... Be humble... They're running the tank with charcoal cyka... Read the historical book
Add Vodka for premium fuel
Another Sherman that I'll be buying. Does diesel mean less likely to explode like a Chinese tank?
Twin engines actually
I believe most lend lease Shermans were diesel.
Actually QB, the lower fire change is historical. The M4A2 was largely a lendlease tank outside of its use by the USMC in the Pacific. This was because it used a diesel engine, which did have a lower chance of fire.
oseansoldier Mostly a myth iirc
Cyka blyat every russian tank is running their tracks with charcoal cyka! We use dry wood from Serbia to improve our communism strats
Lord Gronor that diesel catch fire less you mean or?
They just do not know what they are talking about. Yes, diesel has far lower chance at catching fire, because it needs far greater pressure and spark to ignite it. You can try to set diesel on fire. Give your kid matches and bunch of diesel and he will fail in setting diesel on fire. On the other hand, he will ignite gas without problem.
Still a busted myth, getting hit by any AP- or tankround will set diesel on fire as easy as gas. The Chieftan did a tanktalk on that subject a couple of years ago, look it up.
Hmm, we have The standards: M4 Sherman, M4A3E8, M4A3E2, Sherman III(UK), M4 Sherman Firefly(UK)
The Premiums: M4A3E8 Fury, M4 Improved, M4A2E4, M4A3E8 Thunderbolt, M4A1 Revalorisé Loza's M4 A2(coming soon). More coming perhaps?

u missed the french one.... nope u dont xD But btw i missed some german Shermans xD
Halsford The Great no such land as Israel.
Bring back the quickybaby plant in the background
MunchieLOL lol please
So, just take an M4, put a new skin on it and fiddle slightly with a couple of stats? You wouldn't say this is just a lazy, cynical effort?
I suppose you wouldn't...
Perhaps I'll wait for the Latvian M4.
It was only meant to appear on RU as a part of an historical event that inc this tank. But EU and NA whined that RU got something they did not get. Thus it's here to.
When's that coming out? ;)
You don't have to buy it lol. It looks like a fun balanced tank. Luckily nothing OP.
This makes sense. A vehicle goes faster when it weighs more and it has a worse engine. Never mind, this is world of tanks. #Logic
Bob Dickens momentum, komrade!
Not sure if serious or in need of a mechanics lesson.
Top speed is often related to the transmission, so maybe Soviets didn't care about overstressing it?
Would make sense as they also have the remove speed governor consumable in the game
Russian bias lmao.
the problem with this tank is that the M4A2s is more of a tank for 5.5 or tier 5 heavy/medium-ish instead of 6 medium. If it was a tier 5 with the same DPM as an M4, then it would be a great tank.
There is no purpose to this tank sadly
Tbf they probably added it to pander to russian patriotism, with tanks like the thunderbolt (abrams' tank) and fury (hollywood movie) making a Stronk Russian Tank referring to a Brave Russian Hero driver. Should sell like hotcakes (or should I say chepa vodka?) in Russia even if it's a worse tank.
Like every T6 Sherman
ainumahtar True!
Itz penax go to gulag
It's for people who wanna train their Russian crews but prefer American play styles I guess
My T34-85M is going to kick some ass...and he was for free...and the missions were pretty easy...
nice bro :)
SuiLuJ !!! Yeaa I got it too.During the summer
SuiLuJ !!! My ISU-152 oneshots your shit
kaljahammas thats a tier 8 my good sir please but a t6 to compare
SuiLuJ !!! And now every free2play bot can play OP-Tank....cool
I'm going to wait until they release the Chinese M4 tank destroyer.
theenhancer That's a thing? if so, I want one
I actually really like famous historical tanks. Just to see a hero of a tank be brought back into action in a video game.
2:39 uhhh the Loza’s M4-A2, Easy 8 and Thunderbolt apparently have 0 mm side armour
They do
JO DE that would imply that they have no sides or a sheet of plastic over the sides
The Tiger scene in FURY would say otherwise xD
Shay Shlepov lol
"The commander is hit, he cant focus"...tiger shell to face...
Why bother with a review? This tank is almost similar in every respect to the Shermans already in the game.
I know. But I still liked the vid.
I would suspect that because it's Russian it will magically be better than any other Sherman. It's the secret stats that count.
Just another fucking reskin, thanks WG! I don't mind historical tanks but don't just put a fancy paintjob on a tank and call it a day, I mean, we already have 2 Sherman reskins, isn't that enough?
Clément VILLAIN I feel like if you're going to buy this tank You don't care if it's a reskin and want it for the history
No it's cause Soviet tanks were not NEARLY as good throughout history as this game portrays them to be so they need to copy other people's shit.
MKRocker94 not really.. The soviets actually had some very good tank designs from the ww2 all the way into the coldwar era, usually tailered to their tactical and stratigic needs(which also means they might become crap when taken out of the soviet army tactics).

Exactly, it works at tier 6. But when facing tier 7 and 8 armor more or less all the time vs tier 4 to 6. It's not ideal, even less when a tier 6 light has way more pen then you. It's the reason why I don't own an Easy 8. And why I run a stock turret and derp on the Jumbo. The 128 pen on the 76mm is just a waste of time atm.
QB Could you do a Before It Was Nerfed Episode on the T110E4?
^this would be good
Gigabyte9436 sit down... Be humble..
Pixing Dignity Okay...just don’t dismiss american firepower. Lol
Gigabyte9436 i said... Be humble..
Believe in Ugandan Knuckles You make no sense
As usual, a balanced, zero-BS review. Thank you - yet again - QB!
The reduced fire chance is probably refrencing the fact some Russian Shermans had diesel engines instead of gasoline
The Arisen
All a2 models of Sherman's had diesel engines and were made by Americans. It wasn't the engines causing mass fires anyways, if it was the engines and if they were losing mass amounts of Shermans to fires, Americans would have switched to making a2 variants - but they didn't. The thing that caused fires was the ammo, which they quickly fixed by making wet ammo storage.
Accuracy and rate of fire makes the low alpha guns a blast to play
Hoooooow many Sherman do we neeed!!!!! (Banging head on the table outrageously )
What about the japanese M4? :P
About 45-50,000^^
It has a lower chance to be set on fire because the M4A2 had a diesel engine, unlike the A3's which had petrol engines.
All other Sherman variations (apart from the M4A6 of which about 30 were made) used petrol engines M4 and M4A1 used a modified aircraft engine, A3 used the Ford GAA and the A4 used the Chrysler multibank
Yes. The US Army had specified petrol engines, while the Marines and the Soviets wanted Diesel.
According to Operation Think Tank, the marines went with diesel Shermans because they were available. Had they gone with petrol they would have had to wait a further 6 months to get them.
If I recall the british also got M4A2, but I think they shipped most of them on to the Soviet union as well.
A neat little trick for aggressive Sherman drivers is the fact when you do shoot and scoot the armor shifts as your stopping your frontal armor actually drops about 5 degrees add in the 5 degrees from the ballistic mechanics, you can lose a lot of armor, however if you know the cannons reload time you can also use this by backing up and slamming the breaks, it often tilts up the armor and makes that -10 go in your favor with +10.

Also keep in mind most American Mediums were designed around the concept of flanking cavilry tactics as well as enemy line disruption, the Sherman's were designed to multi-purpose, scouting, tank combat, infantry support, location defense, each Sherman variant had its specialty but all could do these things as well, a neat little thing I've noticed about American tanks is after under 1/2 aim-time circle most of the shots go off to the lower right and center points, if you aim at the side you can use this to track or even still hit a big target with estimation shots (I don't have a max crew so I cant tell you if it will be different with one)
Depends on the angle but yes, it only works on vehicles that have suspension systems similar to the Sherman, it has to have an OK rocking effect when you hit your breaks. It allows you to create some interesting hate for people who try to snipe your commanders hatch. Its very situational, but practice will help it
Quickybaby this was one of THE BEST video you have ever made. With grate advices. You have grown a lot from when I've started watching your channel.
OniGameChannel love that logo mate
It's not tier 8, which is nice.
IWI Negev lul
yeah at least
And it's not OP; which is nice.
Chandler Kristoff, if u want to buy a cheap money maker, buy the super Pershing or if u want a good tier 6 medium buy the T-34-85m. This tank is crap.
syed buhari And if you hate yourself, buy a Matilda Black Prince.
Thank you for your videos, every couple days I tend to get burnt out with world of tanks but then I watch one of your videos and I'm sucked right back in.
Me on all these reskinned premms: Your clones are very impressive. You must be very proud.
QB's got me confused- he says he didn't like the premium power creep, and then when WG adds prems that aren't gods he seems disappointed?
Because you cant put non-powercrepp tanks in an already powercrept environment and expect them to be fun. This tank would be fine if the powercreep hadnt already happened, but it did. Thats not QBs fault for once.
He wants unique prem tanks that are balanced.. something with story, nice design, features and something unique
Why not give this tank a fancy model and new voices for the commander? What about other ammunition on a russian tank than on the normal us one? There are plenty of oppurtunities missed here
The biggest problem is that a low-pen, tier 6 premium is now at a disadvantage with the current matchmaking which now puts you bottom-tier in tier 8 battles 90% of the time, make it harder to get damage to get the premium bonuses without shooting a lot of gold
I think that the reason the M4A2 has a lower chance of catching fire is that US/UK Shermans all used gasoline engines, but the soviets used mostly diesel engines, so Lend-Lease M4's to the soviets all had diesel engines and diesel fuel is less flammable than gasolene.
Im I the only one that noticed that the Loza, E8, and Thunderbolt are all shown with 0mm's of side armour?
It's not like it's 12 am or anything
Nope not at all
TH2Hockey agt cyka its always morning in Russia... Be humble
If you don’t like it then move timezone
Loza's real life Sherman was a 76mm M4A2, which actually had a 375hp diesel. That accounts for the lower fire chance. So Wargaming's actually buffed the horsepower compared to the real-life tank. I do think they should bundle it with a brothers in arms crew
Totally okay with this. Bring on more historical reskins. Greatly preferred over OP tier 8s
Ravioli and the Thunderbolt are the premium Shermand with the most character, in my opinion.
Earned my first mark and Ace tanker in my 5th battle. 6 kills, 2900 damage, 800 blocked and 1200 spotted on Winter Himmelsdorf.
tier 6 MM is abysmal, you get a tier 6 match maybe one out of ten games if you are lucky
Sleepy .Time one out of ten? Damn you’re lucky
Meh. The better tier 6 mediums are so good though that being bottom tier doesn't matter that much. They can easily deal with tier 7s, and they never meet more than 3 tier 8s.
5 a.m. QB? Good night to you as well
This has gone live. It was in a match just now, but the driver was sniping from the K line in Prokhorovka, so he didn't do much once the team pushed past the ridge line. I'd like to see a review of the live version.
Now wg make a american tiger i....
NICK THE GREEK these tanks are justified under a lend lease system. That is why you generally only have another nations tank between the allies or axis, not with each other.
Consoles got an American Tiger II..
Well, WOWs already has the Makarov, which was a german Light Cruiser, that is already ingame, handed over to Russia after WW2, and I suspect, if russian Battleships are coming, they will get the Noworossijsk, which is also already ingame as an italian battleship. :P
And WoT already has on PC the Pudel, which is a looted Panther for the Polish.... Not to mention the german and french low tier tanks. :)
Doesnt have to be lend lease. During WW2 there were some Captured Tigers on the Allied forces, US and all. Hell the Russians had a tank platoon consisting of captured German Tigers and Panthers and Panzers. Though it was rare as ammo was scarce if the original gun was kept and the parts for the vehicles were hard to get.
LAUGH OUT LOUD! they did on the console , WG took the Tiger 2 and put an American star on it and called it a Captured Tiger. You know WG will re skin most tanks and everyone will want one and then sell it as they soon realise that they are not special compared to the Tech tree version.
I drive the “fury” variant
*furry ;)
Evan Tansimore - dumb?
me to and love it i do realy wel with it yet new players my have problems with it this is just a russian version why the hate i dont understand
Furkan Harputoglu - innocuous?
Now I want an American t-34
Kazoogle Koogle *NO BRODA!*
This is a lend lease tank, it makes sense.. I mean War Thunder has a russian sherman too lol
we have american t-34
1dekidejo no we don’t...
tier 8 hewy
I like that you looked at both the amount of credits for both premium and non premium accounts, even though I myself have a premium acount
Although some of these premium tanks are pretty basic and re-hashed, I really love the cross nation mashups like the T-34-88.
V-stabs don't decrease your dispersion, only when you rotate the turret is it applied
Remember back in 2013 when the High Velocity 76mm wasn't seen as underpowered?
Pepperidge Farm remembers ...
I love watching you, your great for commentaries, and gaming...good luck! See you at 1,000,000 subs, i'd absolutely love if your channel got 1,000,000 someday! I Wish The Best Of Luck!!!
From historical perspetive. Shermans shiped to Soviet union had diesel engines unlike ones mant for US. That is why WG made it with less chance on catching fire
“It’s not as easy to set on fire;I guess because it’s a soviet tank” *has flashback to old KV-1S
Kinda useless tank
Fieq Syahir U WOT...... BE HUMBLE.... U DO NOT NO DE WAE...
Fieq Syahir , indeed
You can say that about many tanks lol. People cry when the tank is OP, and they complain when it's balanced...lol
Second premium tank...
It's January...
Boy, that escalated quickly.
My favorite Sherman is the Jumbo. I finally managed to obtain 3 Marks few days ago...it took me 2200 battles (exactly). My damage record is around 4600 damage done at Prokhorovka, but that was truly hard game, when I lost in the end. Still got the replay somewhere (I will upload it at WoTReplays website).
There should be a thing in the game that if you played 2 games in a row that are 2 tiers higher than your tank the next game will be your tier.
Quickybaby you said THUNDERBOLT WAS THE SLOWEST! ITS THE M4A3E2!!! THUNDERBOLT:42 M4A3E2: 35
You get a Sherman, and you get a Sherman! You all get Shermans!
It's a little weird that I get a book about the Soviet lend-lease tanks with the Emcha (the M sound is obvious but the cha comes from the shorting of the Eastern Slavic word for the number 4)with the 76 gun on the cover today and with this video coming out. Also, the reason why the M4A2 has a lower chance of catching of fire is that the A2 had a diesel engine which has the myth of being less flammable than the regular gas/petrol engines of the A1 and A3's.
QB, Please give WarGaming props for not giving out another OP crew. You were complaining about it a lot before.
Moar Shermans! My name is Matthew, and I'm a Sherm-a-holic.
There are now 5 Tier 6 Shermans
M4A3E2
M4A3E8
FURY
Loza´s M4A2
the little SPershing ( Thunderbolt, it´s called Thunderbolt ^^)
Roger
Don't forget the Firefly!
90mm gun with poor dpm maybe? I think that really would make this tank more interesting
Or a Soviet 85 mm with gun depression. That would be quite interesting too!
The US built a Sherman prototype with a Pershing turret and 90mm gun.
Several years ago there existed a WoT tank icon for this vehicle indicating WG had plans to put it into the game.
This sherman is made out of Stalinium
This is NOT Loza's Sherman! Not even from the same (mech.) corp. This is '936' of 3rd Ukrainian Front, 1st guards mech. corp., 9th guards tank brigade, 2nd bttn., 2nd squadron. Loza was commander of 2nd Ukrainian Front, 9th mech. corp., 46th guards tank brigade, 1st tank bttn., so theoretically his turret number was '03', not even close to '936'! (I think I have a pic of his KOd tank in Austria, April, 1945) i.imgur.com/FTs5aHN.jpg
Sherman's are turning into the Pokemon of WOT.
15% Fire chance because M4A2 has a GMC 6046 diesel engine (2 x GMC 6-71 Diesel engines driving through a common gearbox).
Great unbiased review QB, I would have liked it to be compared to my beloved Firefly though :(
Nice vid QB! I've had my eye on this tank for a while. Will pick it up when it comes out, (depending on price of course) especially now knowing you get 6th sense for free. I really like Shermans.
woooo more premiums.....
its like they come out every month now.
Soli Vale sit down... Be humble
I mean premium shit IS Wg’s only source of income...
And ?
every week, rather
Soli Vale Boo Hoo. How dare they try to make money as a company! Terrible!
The chance of catching fire is lower because, if i recall correctly, Soviet tank are Diesel instead of gazoline
A2 variants were made with diesel engines by Americans.
If I remember correctly speed come from that this Russian version has different transmission and better values in fire come from that this is diesel version. Americans used petrol versions. So some historical accuracy in this.
So let's see some more Red Army lend-lease vehicles, like the Valentine, Matilda II, Grant and Stuart
Looks like a decent premium to me, it is basically a slightly worse standard tank while still being quite usable in the match ups that the tank it is based off of is usable in.
this thing is probably going to be just as expensive as the mauerbreker which I couldn't afford
Imagine if they released regular vehicles as often as premiums. We'd have a full tech tree every 9-10 months or so :D
Interesting I have seen the Loza on Tanks.gg for more then a year and now there introducing it to wot?
Nick250ification sit down... Fix yo grammar.... Sit down.... Be humble
I'm not complaining lol I'm looking forward to get this tank I personally thought it was already in the game after seeing the Loza on tanks.gg lol
Yeah it was on Sandbox too in the “Store” tab ingame
Quickybaby got sucked into the game! We’ve gotta rescue him!!!
WG could put different premiums into the game. One of the proposed Ikv 65 designs had a turret with basically the same hull and gun. They could tweak the gun stats and camo values to have a perfectly balanced tank, that would bring variety to the game.
So... basically a Swedish Hellcat then?
ya this will go to my m4 collection and not because its exceptional, because its an m4
Saw this tank in the shop again. I think it would be fair to compare it to the T-34-85M and Rudy, and it doesn't look good for the Loza. Rate of fire and gun handling (arguable at that) is your only advantage. If you're after crew, the Rudy is also currently on sale and you get all four zero-skills rather than just the commander. If you're after mobility, go for a tech tree Sherman. I have mixed feelings about this tank. On one hand it fulfills the original objective of keeping premium tanks worse than tech tree equivalents. On the other, we have competitive beasts like the Defender and Skorpion that you can spend money on instead.
I don't have a problem with the MM. I think the template works well.
Damn looks cool great video quickybaby
What are you talking about, QB. The E8's gun is just fine.
Only way this would be worth it is if Loza had his own voice. That's the only way this tank would have any novelty.
This is what WG should be doing... Put in premium tanks that people think are good additions to their collections... There are enough money makers and OP novelties. Glad to see they are looking out for the collectors and doing normal premium stuff
"one thing that does suck is this tank only gets 10° of gun depression" mate what? How is that a bad thing?
M4, e2, e8, e4, sherman 3, thunderbolt, fury, firefly, lozas, revalorise, m4 improved.
Pls more shermans
LOL i find it funny that people cry about when wg make a good tank and the call them op ect but they make a avg tank and people say its shit and not to buy it.
Because the OP tanks are already in the game. It makes perfect sense to want balance, yet at the same time not wanting an actually balanced tank as long as the overpowered tanks are just as easy to get.
Erasernz People aren't complaining because the Loza tank is average, they are complaining because it's a lazy reskin of a tank that is already in the game. In other words, they are complaining about the lack of originality.
they didnt "make" an average tank .... they just reskinned something that has already been reskinned 500 times.
Next thing you know they're going to come out with a Soviet version of the T110E5. As a tier 8 premium.
How many freaking Sherman do wargaming want to have in the game ?
Thanks QB, looking at the Sherman Birthday bundle, guess I will pass on it. Dont need 3 more of the same damn tank, even though the Fury is pretty sweet looking.
You mean in 90+% of the matches it gets into, it'll be totally ineffective? Shocker. Tier 6 is utterly painful right now.
Well no more OP premium tanks. Really happy to see that the premium tanks are a little bit worse again than the normal tank
I feel like Premium Crews should be a practical thing.
Let's say they are exclusive to tanks of one assigned nation, but you can put them in any vehicle of that nation without penalty.
Perhaps have 'em come with a free brothers in arms and a free extra skill. When they introduced female crews,
I had hoped it'd be like that... anyway, what do yall think? They wouldn't mean a huge competitive advantage, whilst being practical and a sweet feature.
funny how he never is in one of those frustrating tier 8 games he talks about ,where he is the first one blown up in 2 min ,every video I see ,he is on the top although his comparisons are very good with the different tanks .
Vehicles with 15% chance of being set on fire are diesel engines. If it says 20%, then it's gasoline. The Soviets must have pulled the American gasoline engine out and replaced it with one of their diesel truck engines. The Soviets would put diesel truck engines in their tanks to get greater economy of scale when purchasing for both their trucks and their tanks. Replacement parts that are produced natively are also better than having to import parts.
That is because it use an engine build of Stalinium an uses vodka, that's why it is so fast
We need more premiums like this. This is what premiums used to be about
holy cow they are finally releasing the Emcha
wooohooo, look it`s a sherman, again..
sorry QB this has nothing to do with this video, its just i really want to see more about you and peppy on this channel. something just like a simple vlog or Q&A video, because you guys are so cute
Soviet Shermans had diesel engines, thus the lower chance of fire
I think you did 1 amazing job in this preview.
Joseph Stalin your communism idea is weak broda, let me show u da wae
Believe in Uganda Knuckles
My idea of gulag is great. So let me show you. GO TO GULAG.
