It's not just increasing the capability gap between new and old players, it's greeting new players with a steeper learning curve that will make more of them think it's just not worth it.
Wargaming knows the game is dead, they are now trying to milk as much cash as possible from existing players. It is no longer a growth game, it's an income game.
Sweaty BZ-176s players fully decking their tanks with these new equipment going faster than tier 9 medium tanks and have the same armor of semi tier 9 Heavy tanks that will just spam gold to pen most of the match, i love this game !!
Sadly one of the numerous reasons I have quit playing it in the last 60 days tired of the constant money grab it used to be pretty balanced but not it's just got full on if your not having to buy a battle pass, or Christmas things, or now its new equipment in between all of their other money grab schemes. Oh don't forget you gold, and credits, oh and premium time. Etc. Etc. Etc....
A company that has proven itself to want to milk the community for all its worth even to the detriment of the playerbase. Did.... exactly what theyve been doing for 4 years again? I am shocked.
There is no difference between this and the way back 10 years ago complaint for gold ammo and equipment. They are a company to take money, not make a good game. Nothing has changed since it's inception.
@@redhairdavid This is where you are wrong. I am a well over 11 year veteran. What was back then is so much different. Now War Gaming is sponsoring game rigging, open cheating, and the such. Equipment 2.0, SCREW 2.0, and now equipment 3.0 all tie conveniently together that all you blind as a bat players never say it coming. It's a money trap and way to many people like you, yes, I said it, are nothing more than "PAVLOV'S DOG" to them and you will march lock step to the beat of their drum and fork over all that cash for this new system.
Lucky Leopard covered this in his wot iceberg. Basically put the increased durability field mod and armorer, and the dispersion should be the same as/0.01 less than with an intact gun. Weird stuff, haven’t tried it in game but it’s real if you mess with loadouts.
@@jwesley235stopped playing when they killed the kv-2 a month after they sold the kv2(R). Those bastards new they were selling a tank that would be useless in a couple of weeks
Even though I’m a WoT Console veteran, it really has been fascinating seeing how far PC and Console have been drifting apart over the last 4 years, and ESPECIALLY since 2020. In 2020, Console had its devastating Update 6.0 and has introduced an entirely new “Cold War” mode which has divided the community into camps that support either Cold War or the original WW2 game. PC now has simply tons (dare I say too much) of equipment and skill optimization choices that may begin to make the bridge between experienced players and noobs practically impossible to repair. Console used to be pretty much a simplified carbon-copy of PC but then our Devs introduced a rebrand in early 2018 known as “Mercenaries” in order to push their mantra of “we are not PC” even though that’s what most of the community wanted us to be. Ever since then, Console and PC have drifted farther and farther apart.
Man, I remember when 6.0 came out. Spent $500 on the game before that update, and only played 5 games since it came out. Completely ruined the game for myself and the people who got me into the game in the first place.
@@maxwellhatkow6209 its weird to say but I agree console is at least staying flat not improving but not getting worse. PC seems to be getting worse and worse with every new tank
6 minutes into the video and I am already sure that players are going to be using these equipment to make their autoloaders like Kranvagn and Vz55 become OP. All three combined will make autoloaders very powerful. You can escape faster, reload faster, have more hitpoints so you are not worried about loosing some hp while unloading your drum. dammit man! Vz55 is already pretty powerful as it is.
POV: You just created your account,have fun for the first hundred battles.but then.... You start realizing that you have to play thousands of battle against OP premium tanks and super competitive equipped tanks,in order to be decent and obtain that equipment for yourself. You will probably have to sacrifice your time,your mental health,and at a certain point even your money. And at the end of all this you are still going to get f by "the new op premium tank" or by RNG.
I recently went back to playing tier 6 to grind battle pass marathon faster and tbh, it's not that bad. Tier 8 battles are painful (but you can still do decently if you sit back and chill) but other than that and few OP tier 6s (hello Type 64) I'm having decent fun. I grinded a few tech tree tanks to 100 battle pass points with standard equipment and no food and I had no issues with gameplay or balance in general. The issue is that the bar for competitive play in tier 10 is getting higher and the only way to stay competitive is to participate in all events to get bonds (for purple eq) and now components. This is not an issue for new players - this is FOMO aimed at old and dedicated players to keep them in the game.
I’m an st on legends. Correct. They listen to us maybe 10% of the time and generally it takes a long time to get any feedback at all up the endless levels of chain of command to get to the devs who actually make decisions 😅
. It doesn't help that WoWs is developed by WG's Leningrad/St Putinsberg, and so is full of 'patriotic' indoctrinated Russians, who don't care about listening, also with them being scared of loosing their jobs too..
Imagine the game a year from now after skill changes also are in the game. New players will stop playing once they get to higher tiers and keep getting farmed by players who have more time in the game. Playerbase will keep shrinking as Wargaming squeezes the last penny out of the remaining whales.
It probably wouldn't be doomed if they ran it differently. They're killing their own game themselves. There are fair free to play games that make good money like path of exile or Warframe.
@@materekpl6032 100k on EU or RU perhaps... *NOT* on NA. SEA doesn't count at all, it's a completely different game. NA, despite having 1/4 the player base of other regions, accounts for a *_HUGE_* portion of WG's income from game related purchases. It's like WG got the book on 'bad decisions game devs make for $$$' and have been ticking them off one by one to see how far they can go before the jenga stack falls on their head.
I'll probably use the free units, but apart from that, I have no interest in grinding and will pretty much ignore this stuff. I'll continue to play for fun, and doubt I'll notice the difference in the enemy tanks. If I do, I'll try to be more accurate and sneakier. It's all about challenging myself, not playing other people's game ;)
Same here; I don't worry too much about bond equipment, I don't even know how to get Bounty equipment; I just play the mid-tier tanks that I enjoy and let the Try Hards fight it out in lvl X.
Nowthen ballistiyx This is just what I'm going to do, and it's good to see others thinking like this. If we all just did this it would be a brilliant game once again. Hats of to you
they were always going to add it, they wanted to add it in for lootboxes, saw the backlash, stopped adding it and everyone became happy and bought the lootboxes so now theyre adding it back again
also track durability nerf is more than it looks like, now you can get tracked with one shot, so its a big drawback over standard hardening, but if you take 1st field mod, you can get it up so you dont get tracked with 1 shot but you make your terrain resistance 7% worse
Since coming back to the game I've noticed that you will *_ALWAYS,_* without fail, receive a crit the first time you are hit in a battle, even if the hit bounces. This is how WG is reducing player earnings, particularly at higher levels, by forcing them to burn repair kits after damn near every hit but ALWAYS after the first hit.
Great video as always, QB! Yep, just another example of WG increasing the gap between the casual/newer players and the hardcore players sporting all the most OP tanks, new OP equipment and the credits to go full gold spam! Now add in terrible MM resulting in more and more blowout games, and is it any wonder so many people are quitting what used to be a beautiful game in utter frustration! :(
For quite some time now, I am feeling like completing one challenge/mission/marathon after the other instead of enjoying randoms. Back in the days, when - god forbid - I played 200 games to progress to the next tank instead of just 30 with all kinds of boosters, I actually acquired 700, even 1000s of games on my loved Tier X tanks. These days, it's just for some 50 games and then they rot away. Really a shame.
testing them out on the caliban its really helping get the 2nd shot out. But its just great for taking that derp guns accuracy into a nice point just for poking round corners.
I'm looking forward to doing the same build you did to the AMX to the Char Mle. 75. Can you imagine blasting around the battlefield at 77kph shooting and can't miss?
well done WG in forcing casual players to grind game modes/events they don't usually play, which may lead to them quitting the game. not forgetting all the new players who will also be outplayed due to not having the experimental equipment and may just give up too.
thats what happened to me, i only wanted mirny 13. when the new halloween gmae mode came in i cringe so hard i uninstalled after 2 battles. Now i hate everything tank related, or even armored vehicle related...
Imagine removing half of tech trees as it apparently was too confusing for new players and then they introduced new 2.0 equipment and now this experimental one.. this is worst since ebrs came in
When a game arrives at the point where people buy things to get a competitive advantage, it turns into a money pit, where people compete(unconsciously, just our competitive nature) who can outspend the others for that competitive advantage.
Imagine the BZ-176 with the stabilizer/laying-drive combo on top of whatever else for the other 2 slots. Afraid to imagine what it'd be like to run against in a match.
@@jordanandin7084 What could go wrong? It's WG we're talking about. I guess this combo equipment can be used with bond Turbo, so the speed of some tanks can be increased by 10-12 km/h, which is just idiotic. Tanks like the Obj 260 will get ultra fast to certain locations as well as rendering the speed nerf of the AMX M4 54 as useless. Ed: Oh and the EBR 105 reclaiming the 100km/h lost territory being more accurate, that's a really nice one.
@@juanjosedelpinorivas7099 The experimental equipment has a primary bonus of equipment - the primary bonus *can't* be used alongside the equipment it is derived from. Hence, turbocharger cannot be used alongside the experimental turbo. Additionally, the equipment combinations *can't* be used if any of the original equipment's bonuses (in this case, rotation mechanism + turbocharger) are not mountable - as the EBR cannot use turbocharger, it cannot use the experimental equipment version either, and as the fire control system derives from Vstabs + GLD, artillery and TD cannot mount it. Mounting two speed boosts in the first place would also be redundant.
None of the community I have seen likes this at all, and as far as crazy builds, DezGames had a lazer of a T57 on his press account that made it unreasonably accurate.
If every tank is OP then none of them actually is. An OP tank worths nothing if there is noone to farm with it. You know when the Defender was introduced and even low skilled players could farm a Tiger II or other tech tree tanks without taking any damage, that was the biggest selling point of the tank, players wanted to feel invincible.
I started to play in 2012 but I am affraid this is the last nail and the BZ-176 is the hammer that drives it into the coffin at least to me. :( I just cannot keep up with all these shit.
At least the new dispersion equipment will allow the Grille to shoot in the game and not land the shot in the next game. Jokes aside, it's concerning this combo equipment with the Turbo. If it stacks with Bond Turbo we can see tanks like Tortoise, Maus and T95 reaching the 30 km/h territory, Obj 260 reaching insane speeds and the EBR 105 reclaiming the 100km/h territory again on top of being more accurate. Games are going to be 2 minutes long at this rate.
On top of that, they release for the first time a marathon where you can't get the tank for free AND have the audacity to bring a new marathon like event where you also can't get the tank (Type 62) for free.
I think the point of having this new equipment is not the biggest problem. The problem in my opinion arises as you can upgrade it to the level it is at least as good as upgraded bounty equipment. The idea of having a "4th slot of equipment" should be paid by the price of not gaining the same level on a single stat as when you use standard equipment. Then it would be more like to compare it with the field mods where there is always a price to pay in disadvantage to gain an advantage. actually wg changed some things or at least put it out for everybody to see, as the equipment has limits in application to tanks, be it by tier or usage of standard components. The later point effects mainly special classes like spg QB pointed out, but also lots of midtier tanks by using or better said not being able to use fire control system as this tanks can't use stabilizers. This puts this tanks then in a disadvantage compared to others who can use the equipment. And upgraded experimental equipment even boost this effect more. Well done QB on video, thumbs down for WG to do this to the game and the players. btw, how will a BZ176 look like when using the survivability device and either fcs or mobility device and a rammer? or even skip the rammer? is the BZ176 then OP? :-(
Haven't played this game in years, just about the time more photo realistic maps came in, and I can't say I like how its evolved. Rocket boosted tanks, autoloaders that fire with silly quickness etc. Plus the games don't seem to last as long as they used to. I never threw money at it, just used to get experience and credits through winning or doing well in matches to be able to unlock the next improvement such as better guns or camo etc. Having watched Quickybaby's and some other good players demonstrate these enhancements I can't see myself downloading the game in its current format to carry on where I left off.
Killed it for me with "rocket boosted tanks". 🤦 As an original closed beta tester, I don't see myself returning. It's a shame. There was a time when I loved it. Even when the era reached the late fifties/early sixties. Now, not so much. The era creep, the poor match making, and the pay to win were bad. But the bizarre equipment is just a game breaker.
@@AlanRoehrich9651 When I last played it was more like a simulation for want of a better word. The tanks were more or less factually accurate and you played out battles that were based on history. Now it's more like an arcade game... give it time and there will be really fictional tanks with lasers rather than shells and only those who throw real cash at it will be able to use it !
This is gonna break game balancing once and for all. Just imagine Cobra with the experimental fire control, experimental mobility, and bond V stab... Dispersion values at .13, .13, .05, 2.62
Wait wait wait... So you can stack them with their regular counterpart!? So you can put an experimental survival module together with Hardening on a Maus? Or a Turbo AND Mobility Equipment on a Tortoise? EDIT: Ok, apparently you can't. The Mobility thing shares exclusivity with the Turbo, the Survival thing with Hardening and the Firepower stuff with the GLD. You can stack them with their other stats though... E.g. even though the Firepower is supposed to be a combination of GLD and Vert Stabs, you can't stack it with GLD, but you can with Vert Stab because it only counts as a better version of a GLD.
@@salzstange6341 See my Edit. And QB did not stack all 3, the Firepower thing is a GLD+Vertstab, and he used Vertstab and Rotation Device in addition, not a GLD
I didn't even think that it would be possible to maximize one of the characteristics! WG didn't think so either, that's why they stopped the distribution)
wile the equipment was in the test server i found that if you have the Survival Improvement Suite at level 3 with improved configuration it gives you a 120% loss to loading speed and engine power when damaged and i was un able to test it but that could mean that if the engine is damaged you could go faster with better p/w and the ammo rack being damaged could mean that you reload faster and this scares me
I switched from WOT to WOTB long go. I'm in the market of a new tank game, though I still watch QB for nostalgia and news, holding out hope that a savior update or a new game entirely pops up in his sights.
I like playing Matilda II and even though I agree with you on all your points, I will be trying to add Mobility Improvement System to help with speed mainly but the other specifications wouldn't hurt. Too many times I've missed out on shots or supporting allied tanks due to being too slow. If mobility wasn't as much of an issue then the Survival Improvement Suite would be pretty nice but half of those specifications don't really help Matilda. Ammo racks, fuel tanks and engine damage isn't normally a problem unlike lets say my Tiger 131. Now that tank would do well with Exp Survival upgrade more so then improved hardening, has it greatly helped with survivability.
@@Malik-ul2sk I thought the Wargaming video on these new equips said you couldn't have like, a gun laying drive if you already had the experimental that is copying that bonus.
@@sadsastic Yeah thats what they said, if your experimental equipment main stats conflict with other equipment you cant have both, the main stat is the first one in the equipment.
I just uninstalled WOT after 8 years of gameplay 18K games. I’m a plays for free tanker who never spent a dime on the game. But I was still able to enjoy the game from time to time, having some epic games. Unfortunately with recent arms race to get better equipment and crew skills, it seems harder to have a decent average game. Good thing we still have great QB content.
Feels like a nice buff for rinocironte since before the new equipment you usually had to double stack Vert stabs and rotation device but then you had to choose between turbo or vents
Wargaming, PLEASE LISTEN to QuickyBaby and the community! I stand by QuickyBaby when he makes these statements in his videos. PLEASE LISTEN. Thank you QB for speaking up, I really appreciate your help.
I loved what Skill4ltu had to say about it and i agree with him. This is taking WoT more into the Out of Balance State. New players and Casual players are about to get even more behind. Imagine a new player grinding a stock tank going up against a fully leveled premium beast, not fun! WarGaming is literally ruining this game more and more. No one wants an overpowered special Tank to be even more overpowered so that it can 1v5 easy! This experimental equipment is 100% dumb and not good for the Game!
I’ve been playing WOT for the better part of 11-12 years and I’ve notice wargaming is getting to a point where the getting money hungry and caring less and less about their community and the player base. This update proves that. I think this will make new players fell that the game isn’t fun and make a few of the vets like me and others no longer wish to play as a result. Most of the player in my clan stopped playing a few year back because of wargaming making poor choices like this. My question is what happens when wargaming makes another rush poor choice and lose half of there current player base as a result.
As long as the whales and dedicated try-hards hang around and they get their checks every month they're happy. Playing wot just casually hasn't been possible for a long time anymore anyway. The power creep has just become to fast and the ability of some tanks has gotten out of hand. So they are focussing on the poeple who fund the game and those are the people who want and need this constant feeding of tanks they can have first to dominate battles. At this point there just no longer is a way to balance this abortion properly anymore even if they wanted to return to a more casual playerbase. The only way to do that would be to release a version 0.75 or so of the game with graphics updates as some sort of wot classic or whatever.
@@baronvonlimbourgh1716 oh I agree. I’m pretty competitive myself but I’m also a causal player. I border that line between the two of being competitive and being a whale to being casual player. I struggle a little bit with the power creep as a result and it’s been putting me off with the game. Keep in mind the clan I’m in is a clan of 3. The other 12 or 13 that is no longer playing stopped playing because of that power creep and the clan wars whales that become hostile in random battles if you don’t play the game the way they expect you to play. It’s sad seeing what was once a game that was massively fun for a casual player starting to become more of a job then a game. Just on the grind and the learning curve needed to play it and become somewhat fun.
@@fpoddball Pretty well stated. Sums it up for me as a casual player who dates back to the early closed beta, when you actually knew most of the players. There was a time when I would have spent a small amount monthly on this game. It has long passed. It would seem to me that, long term, it would make more sense to entice a larger casual player base to invest a small amount monthly, than it does to convince a much smaller, hardcore player base to spend large sums fairly regularly.. Oh well, not my game.
It's psychology. When a new player gets blown up/beaten by a hugely powerful Thing, it creates a desire for that Thing. It ruins the game for almost everyone, but revenue goes up.
i don't know what to say about this Quickybaby, i retired playing from tanks about 2 months cuz there are so many Pay To Win. like gold spammer, no RNG,pain on stocks tanks so i can't explain what will happened in 2023. i decided to come back during Mirny 13 event
wargamings marketing is actually amazing. they made a good game, tons of people enjoyed it, so than they made op power creep tanks and mechanics, so the people who dont pay, dont enjoy, and will play less... and than they kept making new mechanics that will force you to play the game you dont enjoy unless you pay, so you are more likely to pay for those bz's and other op tanks
This type of thing is why I stopped playing WOT back at Equipment 2.0. I simply didn't have the time to spend grinding the credits for all the different equipment modules, for 2 setups per tank, for all my tanks to try to be competitive. They are making it impossible for casual players to be at all competitive unless they drop lots of money on the game. And I wasn't even a free player. I did spend money on premium tanks and loot boxes and such. But the time and/or money requirement they were requiring just to maintain some level of base competitivity with other players became too much. I still enjoy your videos and stream, but I haven't played in a couple of years, and will not play again.
well said, quicky! another issue with WG is when they decide to do this......ok, fine. so you get the equipment and "jump through the hoops" to upgrade it........ONLY to find, 6 months from now, WG decides it isn't working the way THEY think it should and take it away from the game. it's like buying a premium tank - do too well, and all of a sudden the tank you paid REAL MONEY for has had it's stats nerfed and it becomes a tank you never would have bought had the stats been that way all along.
As a huge fan of light tanks, this update is a huge kick in the balls. Beyond that, many aspects of this game are already overly-complicated. I really don’t understand why WG would go this direction. Been playing over 10 years now and I think the golden years of WOT may be behind us 😢
I was a beta tester but it has taken me prob. way to long to learn how to play. I played 1000s of games being clueless. WG need to sort out how to help players learn about the game. How many times have you looked at the battle results and see some of your team mates with a T8 prem and 50 games etc? Not hating on the players. I love light tanks and find the rest boring tbh and only play to try and do the missions. So many other ways WG can make money. One way I saw in a comment a few years ago was to be able to pick a tech tree tank and pay to have it become a prem. Another way whichis my idea and might sound bonkers is to be able to have different guns on prems. like having the Lorr,50t with a single shot gun.
I don't mind equipment that you can improve by grinding while playing the game. I mind there being four different versions. WG should have removed three other versions and just kept one.
I cant remember who said it, but its basically a milk the cow situation to wargaming. They dont care about the game or the people playing and when the day comes where they arent making enough money, they will just shut it down and move to the next thing.
They obviously rely on players to know of balancing problems in test servers, to be fair there's too many tanks and equipments to match and test in a reasonable amount of time by wargaming. No point in wasting time on balancing yourself, you gotta keep the content rolling no matter what so people don't leave the game.
@shadowshme8424 Ye I honestly think that if there was another game with similar gameplay, most of the wot playerbase will have moved over by now. wargaming are just lucky they are the only ones with this style of gameplay right now
Well here we are over a year later. I sort of barely noticed when all this new equipment appeared, I haven't used any of it, and I haven't noticed any change to the game. In fact I would guess that I'm playing a little bit better than I was 18 months ago. From what I can tell the existence of experimental equipment hasn't harmed the game, players who don't understand it -- or at least don't know if it's better -- simply ignore it. If I was just coming into the game today I think I would still enjoy it and not be virtually slaughtered by all the much more experienced players, especially with all the health added to most-all of the lower-tiered vehicles. Like *_EvE Online_* part of the fun of *_World of Tanks_* is learning how to be better at playing it . . . Hell, for about two years I hardly ever actually played a battle, and mostly only did a mathematical study of the game to try and identify the more powerful tanks (for me, that is). But QB you're right, I also object to Wargaming shoving these changes on us without warning and proper playtesting, as if to say, "You'll definitely like this, you have no choice". Back when _Space Gamer_ magazine was a thing its pages were full of reviews of terrible games that obviously weren't playtested beyond the alpha/in-house stage, sold by publishers who aren't around anymore. Today Wargaming is flirting with incompetence in the same way with (sarcastically) pearls of genius like French wheeled lights and the original Crew 2.0. I wonder what will happen next.
Sad to hear this update got through... I haven’t played since last years summer anymore as I got burned out of the game due to the high competitive gaming. World of Tanks used to be the fun arcade retreat from work. Since the last 2 years it started to drift very far away from the fun arcade to a highly toxic competitive game it’s becoming rn. Casual players and the player base will just keep dropping, leaving all the competitive and 24/7 players behind. This in turn will be toxic for new players and casual ones leave the game just when they started. It breaks my heart seeing the game I loved destroying its own player base by wargamings greed and wish on their 24/7 players to remain I am saddened to know that this OP update has gone through. They basically make it so that casual players can’t even return to it. I thought of returning but... I sadly won’t if the fun casual and competitive playstyles will only be replaced with a toxic no life competitive gameplay. Sad soon their won’t be a casual easy arcade tank game to play. 😞
Why? The Leo doesn't need the turbo the aiming system seems pretty useless if you don't have autoloader and putting HP on Leo ok fine on some maps but usually I wouldn't take hardening either
Not going to lie. Since the advent calender in 2020 when you told me to buy the assassin tank, I have never had as much fun as that tank, so I will GLADLY enjoy this one silver lining
MOE calculations should include the cost of rounds (gold vs standard) and types of equipment. A stock tank with only standard rounds should not be competing directly with a tank with bond equipment firing only gold for damage/assistance. There should be some kind of weighting.
Thanks for the review. I do really enjoy your reviews and analyze of WOT. I haven't been playing WOT for almost half a year by now. I do honestly feel that they are moving in the wrong direction! But I do watch your RUclips channel as well as Claus Kellermann to stay informed about WOT. Thanks again.
Experimental Equipment? IN THE BIN! After playing my ass of in december, I'm taking a break and play just a few times a week. Just 4 fun. Eat your heart out WG!
im still waiting for the feature where you can level up your gun rammer and it will add an additional -1% loading speed / level. there will be 100 levels, and the last one will take an integer limit amount of free xp. that way you can reload in exactly 0.00 seconds
I've logged in on 21.01. I've tried to find the experimentsl equipment. Nothing...then I restarted the game center, and the first "news" was that WG has supended the exp. equip. "due to technical issues" So my question is. Have the unlucky ones like me, roll out against players, who were lucky enough to log in on 20.01. and already claimed and most likely using the exp. equip? Because the system itself is unfair enough - as QB stated - but this "technical issue" make the whole story much more worse...
Nobody is talking about the "neighbouring slot bonus". In their video it looks like equipment next to the experimental equipment gets a buff so long as the second piece of equipment is not buffing the main buff the experimental piece grants. Improved Mobility mainly increases engine power but also gun handling. So you can't put a turbo next to it but you can put a rotation device next to it for another buff? Perhaps I'm reading it wrong.
Heck I'm beside myself as to what to think about thus game right now, it looks as if they just want paying players only now for sure, But well done again with digging up the results on wargaming quicky baby. Fantastic job.
The nail in the coffin for me, been thinking about abandoning WOT a long time now, it's no fun no more. This will be the perfect "excuse" to uninstall World of Tanks (and cars)!!!
I used to play all the time. I started slowing down when they started playing with the equipment and crew. Now it seems that anyone who plays with normal upgrades will always play at a substantial disadvantage to the players with super equipment and super crews.
What I find worrying is that these are just the first implementation of the new experimental equipment system. What happens if perhaps later down the line WG decides to introduce new ones to "help" other tank classes that maybe can't take advantage of the current equipment...or if they introduce new ones that ARE tailor made for a certain class. For example, a experimental equipment that benefits Light Tanks by giving them nearly as much of a vision buff as coated optics while simultaneously lower their camo penalties while firing from cover or something along those lines.
Majority of players against this are f2p, who don't pay or just pay a little. Minority of players that are unicum/whale will just pay for whatever advantage they can get to enjoy the game. On a business stand point, no one wants to please those that don't benefit them, so WG has done what needs to be done.
I am a whale and I reject this nonsense equipment. Why? because it will increase 15:0 phenomenon even more and thus cause frustration for everyone including hardcore gamers.
@@juanzulu1318 Please read again, I don't say whale/unicum will agree to this. They may not happy with it, but since they are the most willing to pay for advantages, most of them will just grab anything WG introduce so that they can have a bigger chance to be on the winning side of those 15-0 battles. If all whale/unicum are like you, WG would already stopped this kind of cash grab strategy long ago.
What wg are doing now is like what MMORPGs do with expansion packs. Except the old endgame armour/equivalent isnt made easily available for everyone. So the gulf just gets larger and larger between "raiders" and "PVE players"

Sadly one of the numerous reasons I have quit playing it in the last 60 days tired of the constant money grab it used to be pretty balanced but not it's just got full on if your not having to buy a battle pass, or Christmas things, or now its new equipment in between all of their other money grab schemes.

They listened to the only thing that is important for them.
There is no difference between this and the way back 10 years ago complaint for gold ammo and equipment. They are a company to take money, not make a good game. Nothing has changed since it's inception.
@@redhairdavid This is where you are wrong. I am a well over 11 year veteran. What was back then is so much different. Now War Gaming is sponsoring game rigging, open cheating, and the such. Equipment 2.0, SCREW 2.0, and now equipment 3.0 all tie conveniently together that all you blind as a bat players never say it coming. It's a money trap and way to many people like you, yes, I said it, are nothing more than "PAVLOV'S DOG" to them and you will march lock step to the beat of their drum and fork over all that cash for this new system.
The part about ramifications of equipment reminded me that there’s a loadout on the Bourrasque where your gun becomes more accurate if it’s broken
Excuse me what
Please describe this build 😂
Lucky Leopard covered this in his wot iceberg. Basically put the increased durability field mod and armorer, and the dispersion should be the same as/0.01 less than with an intact gun. Weird stuff, haven’t tried it in game but it’s real if you mess with loadouts.
@@IntrusiveThot420 I think its is if you have armourer skill/perk
Is this kind of like when your turret is damaged in the T49, so turning it is slower thus reducing the dispersion?
@@Lightning_McNugget dont think so as the turret being damaged does not have a skill for it.

It was making sixth sense default but that was a relatively minor change for all but the newest players. Still good though.
Even though I’m a WoT Console veteran, it really has been fascinating seeing how far PC and Console have been drifting apart over the last 4 years, and ESPECIALLY since 2020. In 2020, Console had its devastating Update 6.0 and has introduced an entirely new “Cold War” mode which has divided the community into camps that support either Cold War or the original WW2 game.
PC now has simply tons (dare I say too much) of equipment and skill optimization choices that may begin to make the bridge between experienced players and noobs practically impossible to repair.
Console used to be pretty much a simplified carbon-copy of PC but then our Devs introduced a rebrand in early 2018 known as “Mercenaries” in order to push their mantra of “we are not PC” even though that’s what most of the community wanted us to be. Ever since then, Console and PC have drifted farther and farther apart.
Somehow I believe console is in a better state than PC. Minus the new arty changes.
Man, I remember when 6.0 came out. Spent $500 on the game before that update, and only played 5 games since it came out. Completely ruined the game for myself and the people who got me into the game in the first place.
@@WeeBabySeamus95 its not as good as pre 6.0 but its not as bad now.
@@maxwellhatkow6209 its weird to say but I agree console is at least staying flat not improving but not getting worse. PC seems to be getting worse and worse with every new tank
So stupid of them to not make it cross-platform. Seriously stupid
6 minutes into the video and I am already sure that players are going to be using these equipment to make their autoloaders like Kranvagn and Vz55 become OP. All three combined will make autoloaders very powerful. You can escape faster, reload faster, have more hitpoints so you are not worried about loosing some hp while unloading your drum. dammit man! Vz55 is already pretty powerful as it is.

POV:
You just created your account,have fun for the first hundred battles.but then....
You start realizing that you have to play thousands of battle against OP premium tanks and super competitive equipped tanks,in order to be decent and obtain that equipment for yourself.
You will probably have to sacrifice your time,your mental health,and at a certain point even your money.
And at the end of all this you are still going to get f by "the new op premium tank" or by RNG.
you know... or you can just quit the game
I recently went back to playing tier 6 to grind battle pass marathon faster and tbh, it's not that bad. Tier 8 battles are painful (but you can still do decently if you sit back and chill) but other than that and few OP tier 6s (hello Type 64) I'm having decent fun. I grinded a few tech tree tanks to 100 battle pass points with standard equipment and no food and I had no issues with gameplay or balance in general.
The issue is that the bar for competitive play in tier 10 is getting higher and the only way to stay competitive is to participate in all events to get bonds (for purple eq) and now components. This is not an issue for new players - this is FOMO aimed at old and dedicated players to keep them in the game.

I am a supertester for World of Warships and I can confirm, WG does not listen to any input or feedback on anything like this.
I’m an st on legends. Correct. They listen to us maybe 10% of the time and generally it takes a long time to get any feedback at all up the endless levels of chain of command to get to the devs who actually make decisions 😅
. It doesn't help that WoWs is developed by WG's Leningrad/St Putinsberg, and so is full of 'patriotic' indoctrinated Russians, who don't care about listening, also with them being scared of loosing their jobs too..

Invisibility cloaks? The E25 and ELC EVEN have had those for years.
Imagine the game a year from now after skill changes also are in the game. New players will stop playing once they get to higher tiers and keep getting farmed by players who have more time in the game. Playerbase will keep shrinking as Wargaming squeezes the last penny out of the remaining whales.
Exactly. The game is doomed and WG knows that, so they try to squeeze as much money out of it as possible before the inevitable demise.
It probably wouldn't be doomed if they ran it differently. They're killing their own game themselves. There are fair free to play games that make good money like path of exile or Warframe.

Same here; I don't worry too much about bond equipment, I don't even know how to get Bounty equipment; I just play the mid-tier tanks that I enjoy and let the Try Hards fight it out in lvl X.

"Dear players,
Due to technical issues we have paused the Experimental Equipment giveaway. We will inform you when the giveaway restarts."

they were always going to add it, they wanted to add it in for lootboxes, saw the backlash, stopped adding it and everyone became happy and bought the lootboxes so now theyre adding it back again
Hey man just wanted to say hell yeah and loving the informative videos and all of the hilarious clips. Nice nice
I stopped playing like 4 years ago, and im amazed at how much its changed. I started when the KV was still the KV, my first heavy.
also track durability nerf is more than it looks like, now you can get tracked with one shot, so its a big drawback over standard hardening, but if you take 1st field mod, you can get it up so you dont get tracked with 1 shot but you make your terrain resistance 7% worse
Since coming back to the game I've noticed that you will *_ALWAYS,_* without fail, receive a crit the first time you are hit in a battle, even if the hit bounces. This is how WG is reducing player earnings, particularly at higher levels, by forcing them to burn repair kits after damn near every hit but ALWAYS after the first hit.
Great video as always, QB! Yep, just another example of WG increasing the gap between the casual/newer players and the hardcore players sporting all the most OP tanks, new OP equipment and the credits to go full gold spam! Now add in terrible MM resulting in more and more blowout games, and is it any wonder so many people are quitting what used to be a beautiful game in utter frustration! :(
I'm putting Mobility on Challenger. The thing is so fast it can rush scout hill and destroy the scouts.
For quite some time now, I am feeling like completing one challenge/mission/marathon after the other instead of enjoying randoms. Back in the days, when - god forbid - I played 200 games to progress to the next tank instead of just 30 with all kinds of boosters, I actually acquired 700, even 1000s of games on my loved Tier X tanks.
These days, it's just for some 50 games and then they rot away. Really a shame.
testing them out on the caliban its really helping get the 2nd shot out. But its just great for taking that derp guns accuracy into a nice point just for poking round corners.
I'm looking forward to doing the same build you did to the AMX to the Char Mle. 75. Can you imagine blasting around the battlefield at 77kph shooting and can't miss?
So an EBR, just now with insane burst damage? :D
Won't really work well with tanks which have siege and turbo modes.
I go 81km/h in it kekw
@@Mr_AntiSocial As you could with a non EE turbo.
well done WG in forcing casual players to grind game modes/events they don't usually play, which may lead to them quitting the game. not forgetting all the new players who will also be outplayed due to not having the experimental equipment and may just give up too.
thats what happened to me, i only wanted mirny 13. when the new halloween gmae mode came in i cringe so hard i uninstalled after 2 battles. Now i hate everything tank related, or even armored vehicle related...
Imagine removing half of tech trees as it apparently was too confusing for new players and then they introduced new 2.0 equipment and now this experimental one.. this is worst since ebrs came in
And the coming crew skill rework. Trees were too confusing but now they dump as much garbage on us as possible.
Also...
People can put this equipment on EBRs...
Just saying
Game nowadays, "add now fix later"
Its cheaper to get players complain than actually pay someone to test everything in the game before releasing it.
Theres never been a better time to stop playing World of Tanks!
When a game arrives at the point where people buy things to get a competitive advantage, it turns into a money pit, where people compete(unconsciously, just our competitive nature) who can outspend the others for that competitive advantage.
Wargaming not listening to the playerbase? That's just as surprising as the sun rising in the morning.
Imagine the BZ-176 with the stabilizer/laying-drive combo on top of whatever else for the other 2 slots. Afraid to imagine what it'd be like to run against in a match.

@@jordanandin7084 not a bad idea 😂
@@jordanandin7084 What could go wrong? It's WG we're talking about. I guess this combo equipment can be used with bond Turbo, so the speed of some tanks can be increased by 10-12 km/h, which is just idiotic. Tanks like the Obj 260 will get ultra fast to certain locations as well as rendering the speed nerf of the AMX M4 54 as useless.
Ed: Oh and the EBR 105 reclaiming the 100km/h lost territory being more accurate, that's a really nice one.
@@juanjosedelpinorivas7099 The experimental equipment has a primary bonus of equipment - the primary bonus *can't* be used alongside the equipment it is derived from. Hence, turbocharger cannot be used alongside the experimental turbo.
Additionally, the equipment combinations *can't* be used if any of the original equipment's bonuses (in this case, rotation mechanism + turbocharger) are not mountable - as the EBR cannot use turbocharger, it cannot use the experimental equipment version either, and as the fire control system derives from Vstabs + GLD, artillery and TD cannot mount it. Mounting two speed boosts in the first place would also be redundant.
None of the community I have seen likes this at all, and as far as crazy builds, DezGames had a lazer of a T57 on his press account that made it unreasonably accurate.
At this point WG should make all tanks OP and leave it there
If every tank is OP then none of them actually is. An OP tank worths nothing if there is noone to farm with it. You know when the Defender was introduced and even low skilled players could farm a Tiger II or other tech tree tanks without taking any damage, that was the biggest selling point of the tank, players wanted to feel invincible.
@@mr.sabaton2539 true
CALIBAN gonna need those buff Blooming , its interesting to see all this nerfing bloom
I started to play in 2012 but I am affraid this is the last nail and the BZ-176 is the hammer that drives it into the coffin at least to me. :( I just cannot keep up with all these shit.
At least the new dispersion equipment will allow the Grille to shoot in the game and not land the shot in the next game. Jokes aside, it's concerning this combo equipment with the Turbo. If it stacks with Bond Turbo we can see tanks like Tortoise, Maus and T95 reaching the 30 km/h territory, Obj 260 reaching insane speeds and the EBR 105 reclaiming the 100km/h territory again on top of being more accurate. Games are going to be 2 minutes long at this rate.
Imagine that equipment on a cobra! Would be rediculous!
That or the Foch B
On top of that, they release for the first time a marathon where you can't get the tank for free AND have the audacity to bring a new marathon like event where you also can't get the tank (Type 62) for free.
I think the point of having this new equipment is not the biggest problem. The problem in my opinion arises as you can upgrade it to the level it is at least as good as upgraded bounty equipment. The idea of having a "4th slot of equipment" should be paid by the price of not gaining the same level on a single stat as when you use standard equipment. Then it would be more like to compare it with the field mods where there is always a price to pay in disadvantage to gain an advantage.
actually wg changed some things or at least put it out for everybody to see, as the equipment has limits in application to tanks, be it by tier or usage of standard components. The later point effects mainly special classes like spg QB pointed out, but also lots of midtier tanks by using or better said not being able to use fire control system as this tanks can't use stabilizers. This puts this tanks then in a disadvantage compared to others who can use the equipment. And upgraded experimental equipment even boost this effect more. Well done QB on video, thumbs down for WG to do this to the game and the players. btw, how will a BZ176 look like when using the survivability device and either fcs or mobility device and a rammer? or even skip the rammer? is the BZ176 then OP? :-(
12:45 insert the *CLICK* nice meme here hahahahahahaha
Haven't played this game in years, just about the time more photo realistic maps came in, and I can't say I like how its evolved. Rocket boosted tanks, autoloaders that fire with silly quickness etc. Plus the games don't seem to last as long as they used to. I never threw money at it, just used to get experience and credits through winning or doing well in matches to be able to unlock the next improvement such as better guns or camo etc. Having watched Quickybaby's and some other good players demonstrate these enhancements I can't see myself downloading the game in its current format to carry on where I left off.
Killed it for me with "rocket boosted tanks".
🤦
As an original closed beta tester, I don't see myself returning. It's a shame. There was a time when I loved it. Even when the era reached the late fifties/early sixties.
Now, not so much. The era creep, the poor match making, and the pay to win were bad. But the bizarre equipment is just a game breaker.
@@AlanRoehrich9651 When I last played it was more like a simulation for want of a better word. The tanks were more or less factually accurate and you played out battles that were based on history.

This is exactly what happened with the HE spash nerf
This is gonna break game balancing once and for all. Just imagine Cobra with the experimental fire control, experimental mobility, and bond V stab...
Dispersion values at .13, .13, .05, 2.62
What if you put all of these 3 at level 3 on a VZ 55. That sounds insane.
you can't. 1 per vehicle
I think you can mount only one experimental equipment per vehicle
put all 3 on mine just now, feels like t10 mobility
Wait wait wait...
So you can stack them with their regular counterpart!?
So you can put an experimental survival module together with Hardening on a Maus?
Or a Turbo AND Mobility Equipment on a Tortoise?
EDIT: Ok, apparently you can't. The Mobility thing shares exclusivity with the Turbo, the Survival thing with Hardening and the Firepower stuff with the GLD.
You can stack them with their other stats though... E.g. even though the Firepower is supposed to be a combination of GLD and Vert Stabs, you can't stack it with GLD, but you can with Vert Stab because it only counts as a better version of a GLD.
I am also confused. In the video the said you can’t combine it at least with the „main“ regular one. But qb has added all three into one o.O
@@salzstange6341
See my Edit.
And QB did not stack all 3, the Firepower thing is a GLD+Vertstab, and he used Vertstab and Rotation Device in addition, not a GLD
@@Xelianow right. Haven‘t noticed that
I didn't even think that it would be possible to maximize one of the characteristics! WG didn't think so either, that's why they stopped the distribution)
wile the equipment was in the test server i found that if you have the Survival Improvement Suite at level 3 with improved configuration it gives you a 120% loss to loading speed and engine power when damaged and i was un able to test it but that could mean that if the engine is damaged you could go faster with better p/w and the ammo rack being damaged could mean that you reload faster and this scares me
That's just nuts, imagine using that on med with field mod 1 that gives you 50% more engine power and reload when the module get damaged
I switched from WOT to WOTB long go. I'm in the market of a new tank game, though I still watch QB for nostalgia and news, holding out hope that a savior update or a new game entirely pops up in his sights.
"Gunner Heat PC" might be worth a look. It's a completely different genre, so not really a competitor to WoT except that it is tank based warfare.
Post Scriptum ?
I like playing Matilda II and even though I agree with you on all your points, I will be trying to add Mobility Improvement System to help with speed mainly but the other specifications wouldn't hurt. Too many times I've missed out on shots or supporting allied tanks due to being too slow. If mobility wasn't as much of an issue then the Survival Improvement Suite would be pretty nice but half of those specifications don't really help Matilda. Ammo racks, fuel tanks and engine damage isn't normally a problem unlike lets say my Tiger 131. Now that tank would do well with Exp Survival upgrade more so then improved hardening, has it greatly helped with survivability.
To me, you should ONLY have one of these on each vehicle because the other slots can have the bonuses for types of equipment

Unfortunately with recent arms race to get better equipment and crew skills, it seems harder to have a decent average game. Good thing we still have great QB content.
Feels like a nice buff for rinocironte since before the new equipment you usually had to double stack Vert stabs and rotation device but then you had to choose between turbo or vents
Wargaming, PLEASE LISTEN to QuickyBaby and the community! I stand by QuickyBaby when he makes these statements in his videos. PLEASE LISTEN.
Thank you QB for speaking up, I really appreciate your help.
I loved what Skill4ltu had to say about it and i agree with him. This is taking WoT more into the Out of Balance State. New players and Casual players are about to get even more behind. Imagine a new player grinding a stock tank going up against a fully leveled premium beast, not fun! WarGaming is literally ruining this game more and more. No one wants an overpowered special Tank to be even more overpowered so that it can 1v5 easy! This experimental equipment is 100% dumb and not good for the Game!
I’ve been playing WOT for the better part of 11-12 years and I’ve notice wargaming is getting to a point where the getting money hungry and caring less and less about their community and the player base. This update proves that. I think this will make new players fell that the game isn’t fun and make a few of the vets like me and others no longer wish to play as a result. Most of the player in my clan stopped playing a few year back because of wargaming making poor choices like this. My question is what happens when wargaming makes another rush poor choice and lose half of there current player base as a result.
As long as the whales and dedicated try-hards hang around and they get their checks every month they're happy.
Playing wot just casually hasn't been possible for a long time anymore anyway. The power creep has just become to fast and the ability of some tanks has gotten out of hand.
So they are focussing on the poeple who fund the game and those are the people who want and need this constant feeding of tanks they can have first to dominate battles.
At this point there just no longer is a way to balance this abortion properly anymore even if they wanted to return to a more casual playerbase.
The only way to do that would be to release a version 0.75 or so of the game with graphics updates as some sort of wot classic or whatever.
@@baronvonlimbourgh1716 oh I agree. I’m pretty competitive myself but I’m also a causal player. I border that line between the two of being competitive and being a whale to being casual player. I struggle a little bit with the power creep as a result and it’s been putting me off with the game. Keep in mind the clan I’m in is a clan of 3. The other 12 or 13 that is no longer playing stopped playing because of that power creep and the clan wars whales that become hostile in random battles if you don’t play the game the way they expect you to play.
It’s sad seeing what was once a game that was massively fun for a casual player starting to become more of a job then a game. Just on the grind and the learning curve needed to play it and become somewhat fun.

wargamings marketing is actually amazing. they made a good game, tons of people enjoyed it, so than they made op power creep tanks and mechanics, so the people who dont pay, dont enjoy, and will play less... and than they kept making new mechanics that will force you to play the game you dont enjoy unless you pay, so you are more likely to pay for those bz's and other op tanks
Except the pay to win scheme only works if there are enough free players around to lose more.
@@builtbroken3558 and thats why on every pirating/porn/online series site there is an ad for world of tanks...
This type of thing is why I stopped playing WOT back at Equipment 2.0. I simply didn't have the time to spend grinding the credits for all the different equipment modules, for 2 setups per tank, for all my tanks to try to be competitive. They are making it impossible for casual players to be at all competitive unless they drop lots of money on the game. And I wasn't even a free player. I did spend money on premium tanks and loot boxes and such. But the time and/or money requirement they were requiring just to maintain some level of base competitivity with other players became too much.

well said, quicky! another issue with WG is when they decide to do this......ok, fine. so you get the equipment and "jump through the hoops" to upgrade it........ONLY to find, 6 months from now, WG decides it isn't working the way THEY think it should and take it away from the game. it's like buying a premium tank - do too well, and all of a sudden the tank you paid REAL MONEY for has had it's stats nerfed and it becomes a tank you never would have bought had the stats been that way all along.
As a huge fan of light tanks, this update is a huge kick in the balls. Beyond that, many aspects of this game are already overly-complicated. I really don’t understand why WG would go this direction. Been playing over 10 years now and I think the golden years of WOT may be behind us 😢
I was a beta tester but it has taken me prob. way to long to learn how to play. I played 1000s of games being clueless. WG need to sort out how to help players learn about the game. How many times have you looked at the battle results and see some of your team mates with a T8 prem and 50 games etc? Not hating on the players.
I love light tanks and find the rest boring tbh and only play to try and do the missions.
So many other ways WG can make money. One way I saw in a comment a few years ago was to be able to pick a tech tree tank and pay to have it become a prem. Another way whichis my idea and might sound bonkers is to be able to have different guns on prems.
like having the Lorr,50t with a single shot gun.
Remember, Facebook said that their biggest competitor was sleep. WG feeds on similar currency.
I don't mind equipment that you can improve by grinding while playing the game. I mind there being four different versions. WG should have removed three other versions and just kept one.
Yes, but have you considered this: money? Didn't think so.
It would interesting to see Death Star with that improved rotation.
WG just rushed this? Reminds me of another game WG made that is just a bit wetter that involves vehicles that go underwater ....
WG never listened about anything tbh .Our old prem tanks are now worthless due to power creep .
Players have been asking for better balance, yet everything added to the game makes things more imbalanced. WG obviously does not play their own game.
I cant remember who said it, but its basically a milk the cow situation to wargaming. They dont care about the game or the people playing and when the day comes where they arent making enough money, they will just shut it down and move to the next thing.
They obviously rely on players to know of balancing problems in test servers, to be fair there's too many tanks and equipments to match and test in a reasonable amount of time by wargaming. No point in wasting time on balancing yourself, you gotta keep the content rolling no matter what so people don't leave the game.
@shadowshme8424 Ye I honestly think that if there was another game with similar gameplay, most of the wot playerbase will have moved over by now. wargaming are just lucky they are the only ones with this style of gameplay right now
Well here we are over a year later. I sort of barely noticed when all this new equipment appeared, I haven't used any of it, and I haven't noticed any change to the game. In fact I would guess that I'm playing a little bit better than I was 18 months ago. From what I can tell the existence of experimental equipment hasn't harmed the game, players who don't understand it -- or at least don't know if it's better -- simply ignore it.
If I was just coming into the game today I think I would still enjoy it and not be virtually slaughtered by all the much more experienced players, especially with all the health added to most-all of the lower-tiered vehicles. Like *_EvE Online_* part of the fun of *_World of Tanks_* is learning how to be better at playing it . . . Hell, for about two years I hardly ever actually played a battle, and mostly only did a mathematical study of the game to try and identify the more powerful tanks (for me, that is).
But QB you're right, I also object to Wargaming shoving these changes on us without warning and proper playtesting, as if to say, "You'll definitely like this, you have no choice". Back when _Space Gamer_ magazine was a thing its pages were full of reviews of terrible games that obviously weren't playtested beyond the alpha/in-house stage, sold by publishers who aren't around anymore. Today Wargaming is flirting with incompetence in the same way with (sarcastically) pearls of genius like French wheeled lights and the original Crew 2.0. I wonder what will happen next.
WARGAMING DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. i never stops to amaze me how far this company would go to give us what we dont want...
Sad to hear this update got through... I haven’t played since last years summer anymore as I got burned out of the game due to the high competitive gaming.
World of Tanks used to be the fun arcade retreat from work. Since the last 2 years it started to drift very far away from the fun arcade to a highly toxic competitive game it’s becoming rn.
Casual players and the player base will just keep dropping, leaving all the competitive and 24/7 players behind. This in turn will be toxic for new players and casual ones leave the game just when they started.
It breaks my heart seeing the game I loved destroying its own player base by wargamings greed and wish on their 24/7 players to remain
I am saddened to know that this OP update has gone through. They basically make it so that casual players can’t even return to it.
I thought of returning but... I sadly won’t if the fun casual and competitive playstyles will only be replaced with a toxic no life competitive gameplay.
Sad soon their won’t be a casual easy arcade tank game to play. 😞
Don't worry guys! The silent majority wants this!
@8:30 - Nah mate, thats not a bug, thats 100% intentional!
Who’s surprised that Wargaming didnt listen 😂
Soon equipment will evolve into a whole new tanks …
I can imagine the Leopard 1 (that i was about to buy soon) ,to be pretty good with the new experimental eguipment.
Why? The Leo doesn't need the turbo the aiming system seems pretty useless if you don't have autoloader and putting HP on Leo ok fine on some maps but usually I wouldn't take hardening either
Not going to lie. Since the advent calender in 2020 when you told me to buy the assassin tank, I have never had as much fun as that tank, so I will GLADLY enjoy this one silver lining
Im quitting the game if they add this, im already sick of the BZ 176
They already added this. See you tomorrow on a battlefield!
That Bat. Chat arty aim time looks like the FV304! The heck.
Nothing new from them...
Such a dogshit company
MOE calculations should include the cost of rounds (gold vs standard) and types of equipment. A stock tank with only standard rounds should not be competing directly with a tank with bond equipment firing only gold for damage/assistance. There should be some kind of weighting.
Thanks for the review. I do really enjoy your reviews and analyze of WOT. I haven't been playing WOT for almost half a year by now. I do honestly feel that they are moving in the wrong direction! But I do watch your RUclips channel as well as Claus Kellermann to stay informed about WOT. Thanks again.
Experimental Equipment? IN THE BIN! After playing my ass of in december, I'm taking a break and play just a few times a week. Just 4 fun. Eat your heart out WG!
im still waiting for the feature where you can level up your gun rammer and it will add an additional -1% loading speed / level. there will be 100 levels, and the last one will take an integer limit amount of free xp. that way you can reload in exactly 0.00 seconds
YES! Faster tanks, better gun handling and near instantaneous repair speeds! I can't wait for all my games to last 2 minutes!
I've logged in on 21.01. I've tried to find the experimentsl equipment. Nothing...then I restarted the game center, and the first "news" was that WG has supended the exp. equip. "due to technical issues" So my question is. Have the unlucky ones like me, roll out against players, who were lucky enough to log in on 20.01. and already claimed and most likely using the exp. equip? Because the system itself is unfair enough - as QB stated - but this "technical issue" make the whole story much more worse...
Nobody is talking about the "neighbouring slot bonus". In their video it looks like equipment next to the experimental equipment gets a buff so long as the second piece of equipment is not buffing the main buff the experimental piece grants. Improved Mobility mainly increases engine power but also gun handling. So you can't put a turbo next to it but you can put a rotation device next to it for another buff? Perhaps I'm reading it wrong.
QB already demonstrated that in this video if you watch closely.
Actually very good video with actually good points, not like other videos I have seen so far
Heck I'm beside myself as to what to think about thus game right now, it looks as if they just want paying players only now for sure,
But well done again with digging up the results on wargaming quicky baby. Fantastic job.
Community: I don't like this
WG: I'm sorry and i apologize, for the inconvenience of NOT GIVING A FUCK
The nail in the coffin for me, been thinking about abandoning WOT a long time now, it's no fun no more. This will be the perfect "excuse" to uninstall World of Tanks (and cars)!!!
I used to play all the time. I started slowing down when they started playing with the equipment and crew. Now it seems that anyone who plays with normal upgrades will always play at a substantial disadvantage to the players with super equipment and super crews.
What I find worrying is that these are just the first implementation of the new experimental equipment system. What happens if perhaps later down the line WG decides to introduce new ones to "help" other tank classes that maybe can't take advantage of the current equipment...or if they introduce new ones that ARE tailor made for a certain class. For example, a experimental equipment that benefits Light Tanks by giving them nearly as much of a vision buff as coated optics while simultaneously lower their camo penalties while firing from cover or something along those lines.
Majority of players against this are f2p, who don't pay or just pay a little.
Minority of players that are unicum/whale will just pay for whatever advantage they can get to enjoy the game.
On a business stand point, no one wants to please those that don't benefit them, so WG has done what needs to be done.
I am a whale and I reject this nonsense equipment. Why? because it will increase 15:0 phenomenon even more and thus cause frustration for everyone including hardcore gamers.
@@juanzulu1318 Please read again, I don't say whale/unicum will agree to this. They may not happy with it, but since they are the most willing to pay for advantages, most of them will just grab anything WG introduce so that they can have a bigger chance to be on the winning side of those 15-0 battles.
If all whale/unicum are like you, WG would already stopped this kind of cash grab strategy long ago.
It doesn't matter how many dislikes on a youtube video for a new feature WG'ing puts out. What matters to WG'ng is if you continue to play or not.
I still haven't gotten the missions for the new equipment...
Looks like Crew 2.0 all over again!
What wg are doing now is like what MMORPGs do with expansion packs. Except the old endgame armour/equivalent isnt made easily available for everyone. So the gulf just gets larger and larger between "raiders" and "PVE players"
... And consequently more 15:0 games and frustrated players.
Good job WG
