Sort of a nice mix of E50M and leopard 1 with great dpm and view range. Very pleasant tank to play without having a bulletproof turret. This is how WG should buff tanks!
Don't worry, they will nerf it back in at most half year to state worse, than it was before 1.20, after enough peopl will sink credits, blueprints and free xp.
I never played this tank before the buff. I painfully pushed through the line only really enjoying the Cromwell and comet, but it was one of the most painful grinds I’ve done. I hated the centurion 7/1 so much that I just never bought the AX and sold the tier 7/1 after researching the AX. I actually forgot they were buffing it until my buddy told me about it so I decided to buy it. I put vents, gun rammer and experimental hardening and I absolutely love this thing. I think it’s a very competitive tank now and I think they buffed it very well. Armor is still mediocre so I don’t think it’s OP. But all around, it’s a solid tank now in my opinion
As for 6000 bonds for hardening, with no package deals, the bounty hardening is almost as good, and cheaper to move. I'll keep my bonds for vents / v stabs and rammers
Great they have buffed the cent 1 and 7/1, as I am about to grind through them, although I will have to be quick otherwise it's going to be like the french heavies all over again
Top of the tree starting tomorrow. Trying to decide if I should grind it. Have most of the meds so not sure I would play it. Only really use CS63 and 907 in CW.
I would like to see the grind 2 times a week again... This feels like it's not even a series... By the time the new episode comes out I forget what you have done in the last one...
I've only just unlocked this tank and haven't played in it yet. I enjoyed the 7/1 (gun is so nice) so am looking forward to AX now it has been buffed. Just have to wait until i get the bandages off my hand.
Hi Max, congratulations on 3-marking the AX. I haven't played it since it came into the game and then it was okay because it was a new toy. The British MED line is fantastic apart from the AX (pre buff) and my favorite was (and stil IS) the T9 as it actually has a turret you can trust without being OP. The question is why someone should choose AX over LEO 1 or E50M? Glad WG did something about AX and it seems like they got their balance right. Karelia is fine or even great map in my world. Sure both flanks are shock points based on their design. You don't need to win one but both to succeed in wearing down all the resistance that can possibly defend a base. As we can see during your round, your team gave up the entire middle and it's only a matter of time before you lose (from start). Question, why didn't you take the center and use your fantastic view range and gun? Is it so common to find so many "snipers" either sitting in your base or doing like you. How many shots did you hit, or how many tanks did you spot? What you did well was to move, but it was too late because you chose the wrong place from the start. But the right place to stay and take the battle until you lose the game, the right thing to do when you mark a tank. On all my MEDs that have a longer view range, there is a build like "support scout" that is used on some maps e.g. in Karelia. Between the center and the 1,2,3 line, there are tons of places where a Med with a larger view range is effective because there are normally so many snipers (not just triangles) and you have two artys in your team, use them. Just because you are a Med doesn't mean you need to replace a LT in the middle, you have no camo for that. However, the principle works the same way for Meds and HT which have great view range and is about which map and playingstyle you prefer. Have a safe trip Max..
Ah, my first tank was a Dinky Toys Centurion (and a Mighty Antar Tank Transporter to carry it. ). But as a struggling newbie that is far too high a tier for me, I am more comfortable with my run of Tier 3 Valentine, Tier 4 Matilda, Tier 5 Matilda BP and the Tier 6 Cromwell (Though my performance in the latter is lamentable, particularly as the matchmaker hates me and puts me up against Tier 8 every time. That might be an exaggeration by the way.
I love using British and US tanks so I'll be a bit biased and say I don't have a problem with the buff, not until you have to fought against them atleast, appreciate the upload! This comment's sole purpose is for the algorithm only lol have a good one man!🍻
Very complete presentation Max very clear nice. Your my master adviser for wot 🙏 Could you tell me what is the new reticule mod for more « easy » targeting please Nice we
The mod makes the aiming circle size smaller so it's more true to the dispersion of the tank. However, it will not increase the accuracy nor will it make you a better player for using it.
How would you compare this to the M48 Patton? On paper it looks to be just flat out better now. Higher dpm, better HE, better accuracy, more gun depression, higher speed, more ammo and better camo. The Patton has better armor, until they load gold then armor is almost non existent.
Did you even watch the video? He said it's a nice buff and did not make it op. However, while a certain % will complain no matter what, WG always seems to create legit reasons to complain, just take the recent patch A: Nerf AMX65 arguably one of the worst T8 heavies, B: as Max said over do a buff (AMX54) ,that EVERYONE else immediately recognized as too much only to nerf it to worse than it was originally. And of course C: nerf a tank because...too many people liked it (Prog65). So while they did some good buffs/nerfs as well, they managed to cloud a lot of people's opinion with the dumbass things. They are their own worst enemy.
This is wg regular tactic, over buff a tank. Player go crazy try to catch the meta, spend free experience or gold to get the tank if they dont have it already. Then wg nerf it back. Amx m4 54 is the best example
Meh, I'm pretty sure WG will nerf if after a month or so just like they did with AMX (which was okay but latest nerf killed this tank again, F). Any good player would balance the game 10x better and faster than WG does xD
I haven't played the AX in a while. Wonder if this buffing tben nerfing business is new MO for WG to give people with zero reward tanks chance to be top dog on the battlefield
well i will try your load with stabilizing equipment and if that will not work aider i will just delete this tank cuz so far it is a horrible tank ... like you said : the gun is very very nice ''statistically '' , there is only one problem with it : it mostly shoots after birds .
If the turret was buffed it’d be OP, IMO but can’t have another OP tech tree tank in the game of reward OP Tanks. My opinion but the game’s moving to pay to win. Compare the Pershing to the Iron Arnie, WG got to make a buck to keep the lights on is the reality
Man you're dead on with your over buffing to then nerf it into the ground 6 months from now. We all know the M4 54 needed to be nerfed, but wow oh wow. Compare the current its stats to what it was before getting buffed when no one played it and behold. It's sad.

@@Eshelionfortunately you were wrong 😉
@@Kornel-tc7jw yeah, I'd have one fun tank to play less. :)

Karelia is fine, you just need a spotter in the mid to push either flank. One of a few maps where light tanks are actually very useful.
I've played 5 games and It's probably already my favourite tank in the game, its just so comfortable to play now.
As for 6000 bonds for hardening, with no package deals, the bounty hardening is almost as good, and cheaper to move. I'll keep my bonds for vents / v stabs and rammers

This was nicely balanced buff. This whole tank line had bad dispersion. I am still buffled that FV4202 didn't get dispersion buff.
I would like to see the grind 2 times a week again... This feels like it's not even a series... By the time the new episode comes out I forget what you have done in the last one...

So a Tech tree tank that makes it possible to play against the OP Prize tanks. To me that's good.
Why not vents, rammer and CVS? The additional spotting should be plenty to compensate for the lack of VStabs. Diminishing returns, no?
Ah, my first tank was a Dinky Toys Centurion (and a Mighty Antar Tank Transporter to carry it. ). But as a struggling newbie that is far too high a tier for me, I am more comfortable with my run of Tier 3 Valentine, Tier 4 Matilda, Tier 5 Matilda BP and the Tier 6 Cromwell (Though my performance in the latter is lamentable, particularly as the matchmaker hates me and puts me up against Tier 8 every time.

Top of the tree starting today. I know what my next tier 10 grind is gonna be.
I would love to know what skill crews you use. I always feel I am choosing the wrong ones... thanks good vid.
Good review. I do wonder how it compares to the m60 now.
I love using British and US tanks so I'll be a bit biased and say I don't have a problem with the buff, not until you have to fought against them atleast, appreciate the upload! This comment's sole purpose is for the algorithm only lol have a good one man!🍻
Great video the commentary is spot on - new sub 😉👌
Thanks for the setup advice
Engine sound is nice. :)
Hey Max, I love your channel! Quick Question, which MOE mod do you run?
Lebwa
Very complete presentation Max very clear nice. Your my master adviser for wot 🙏
Could you tell me what is the new reticule mod for more « easy » targeting please
Nice we
The mod makes the aiming circle size smaller so it's more true to the dispersion of the tank. However, it will not increase the accuracy nor will it make you a better player for using it.
Yep but you have a better perception of the aiming zone … But what is the good mod for that please 🙏
Cent AX is balanced, currently sitting at 49.86% wr on the NA last 30 days, every tank between 49-51% is balanced imo
turbo + rammer + vents are solid
Hello. What mod do you use for the reticle? How does it have that size and why is it not noticeable when aiming?
Sometimes whenever i get hit even in the side i get ammoracked
Coming home tomorrow. Iam gonna test it out then
What camo is that on your tank?
How would you compare this to the M48 Patton? On paper it looks to be just flat out better now. Higher dpm, better HE, better accuracy, more gun depression, higher speed, more ammo and better camo. The Patton has better armor, until they load gold then armor is almost non existent.
It used to be similar to the patton now, it’s just better in nearly every way.
Noice gun. Time to move my crew back up to the AX
Hey max love the video! Do you think you can do a weak spot guide for the object 260? Keep up the good work ❤
How does one get that ‘marks on gun’ table right next to the vehicle loadout?
It's a mod, you can check out my mods and settings video.
nice review AX
Just for the GODS ;) love the content mate, keep em coming :)
Players will NEVER be happy with anything WG does. This video proves it.
I am worried, because it’s a nice buff. But seeing what they did to the AMX you can see why we have no trust in WG.
Did you even watch the video? He said it's a nice buff and did not make it op.
However, while a certain % will complain no matter what, WG always seems to create legit reasons to complain, just take the recent patch
A: Nerf AMX65 arguably one of the worst T8 heavies,

So while they did some good buffs/nerfs as well, they managed to cloud a lot of people's opinion with the dumbass things. They are their own worst enemy.
It’s much better but not over buffed for sure.
Nice review, there has been a lot in the battle field since the upgrade 😂
deal 3k+ damage and get -3.3% mark
damn this is painful
It is not over buffed; it still gets absolutely owned because of lack of armor
I might finally grind through the garbage that is the Comet now.
Nope, it's not to buffed. It's exactly where it should be - amongst the best tanks in the game.
This is wg regular tactic, over buff a tank. Player go crazy try to catch the meta, spend free experience or gold to get the tank if they dont have it already. Then wg nerf it back. Amx m4 54 is the best example
I need to update my mods
Meh, I'm pretty sure WG will nerf if after a month or so just like they did with AMX (which was okay but latest nerf killed this tank again, F). Any good player would balance the game 10x better and faster than WG does xD
very nice job
I haven't played the AX in a while. Wonder if this buffing tben nerfing business is new MO for WG to give people with zero reward tanks chance to be top dog on the battlefield
Love the Centurions
Centurion action X YES it's to over powered should be NERFED! I thought I would never hear myself say those words
well i will try your load with stabilizing equipment and if that will not work aider i will just delete this tank cuz so far it is a horrible tank ... like you said : the gun is very very nice ''statistically '' , there is only one problem with it : it mostly shoots after birds .
Not over buffed. I run Turbo, vents, rammer in mine with 5 skill crew. Runs good!
If the turret was buffed it’d be OP, IMO but can’t have another OP tech tree tank in the game of reward OP Tanks. My opinion but the game’s moving to pay to win. Compare the Pershing to the Iron Arnie, WG got to make a buck to keep the lights on is the reality
Iron Arnie is one of the most well rounded and balanced tanks in the game.
@@MaxGamingFPSmy patriot agrees… I do love an American medium that can go hull down and 230 silver pen.
Nice video
stb review pls
Yea this tank was not over buffed..... It is competitive now at but it is far from over powered.
This was the last T10 tanks I got a month or so ago.................. smug face...... ;)
thanks
Man you're dead on with your over buffing to then nerf it into the ground 6 months from now. We all know the M4 54 needed to be nerfed, but wow oh wow. Compare the current its stats to what it was before getting buffed when no one played it and behold. It's sad.
tier 9 centurion is the best
Gr8 stuff.
I quit playing Wot pc because of this..
that 77mm on the mk 1 is awful
👍👍👍
Nerf incoming ... beep beep beep
Please no wg 😥
😀
I love you man ;)))
Over buffed ??? Its a joke ?????? Its still one of the worst tier 10 tank, its just bad at everything
He was op before buff
