Toro seems pointless. It’s oversized, lacks frontal armor, has a large tank hatch, low DPM, a big weak spot that makes sidescraping ineffective, and only average accuracy. It’s like they packed all the worst features into one tank.
Wow, I actually am not buying loot boxes this Christmas? Thanks WG, saved me a good chunk of change putting out nonsense crap like this. Not a single tank in this bunch gave me the feeling to pull out the wallet. On the plus side there's no "Old" fillers so you can safely sell off all the other premiums you have that aren't worth a crap without worrying about it coming right back to you. Tired of saving these tanks I never play for fear of just getting them back again.
It was the only time I threw real money at this game until they took away the gold coin rewards, now I just like watching the train animations and it making me feel that Christmas is on the way
Interested in the Contradictious, the CZ LT, the XM TD, and that's it. But anyway gotta see the actual reviews when the tanks come out, and the stats may not be final yet.
The Japanese had some weird arty in WW2, a lower tier 5 premium arty won't break the game. Let the arty lovers have a bone to chew on every once & a while.
Nothing against this video (which is good). But Honestly, the tanks look boring and uninspiring. In addition, most gun handling stats look bad, which makes them unfun to play. Premiums should be different and special, otherwise no reason to spend anything (for me); since most people already have plenty of them... Oh look another TS5, a BZ but now as slow medium and without howitzer (so basically the T9 heavy tech tree), the new double gun for UK since "this" is the one feature we were missing (rather than just make the actual TT better, looking at Concept line), Toro looks like an FV with even worse armor (and look how this tank performs) but now with the super-duper reloading mechanic (but terrible gun handling)...and the list goes on (and very bloated so) with useless low tier tanks. Question: Why not fix this game and give people an actual reason to continue to play and enjoy rather than reprinting stale ideas with marginal effort - which the community notices. The game has been sped up and dumbed down so much, I would even consider WOT console the "better" version now / or at least on par (which is terrible). Player numbers don't lie, this game is on it's death bed since 2018 (or latest 2020), the company has become too big and lost sight of their core audience - whales may keep the servers running but not the game.
The issue is that WG can't and won't take any more risks with those loot boxes. I hope new tanks will be added because, so far, loot boxes look boring.
Squall might be very fun in certain situations. I can see in most games you won't be able to do much because of the low pen and limited opportunities tho. I honestly wish they replaced the Contradicous because on paper it looks very average. I also wish they release 4 tier 8 premiums instead of 3 tier 8 premium and 2 tier 9 premiums because they are starting to make tier 9 the new tier 8 premiums. They also don't make as much credits and tier 9 premiums don't tend to be that good. I'd much rather play tier 8 premiums, have fun, and make a lot of credits.
If the tanks are implemented as leaked, there are not many attractive tanks in this year's holiday box. Especially the tier 9 tanks are the worst. Last year obj752 and Tiger maus were good.
I started playing last year and i did not buy any boxes. Are these years boxes worth it? I mean i never bought new year boxes, so idk if i should buy them now? Since they are good value. Also will i get some kind of discount or something cuz itss my first time buying boxes?
The amount of gold, silver and free xp along with boosters is worth it. I spent $400 last year and got $100 in gold. Roughly the same amount of gold in silver, 400k in free xp, and then 3 teir 9 prems and I think a teir 8 prem. And then all the x5 boosters and boosters for silver/xp/crew xp are more than enough for the year and I've used half of them. For the economic resources it's the best time of the year for it. You get more than you pay for.
@theboshow9697 thank you, but i will buy only 25 boxes, not 50, so im not guaranteed to get a tier 8 premiun tank, would u still reccomend me to get 25 boxes?
tbh you kinda missed the best year: 2023 because it had the BZ176 which is OP, the Vipera which is OP, the AMBT which is very good, the Char MLE which is OP, and the Iron Arnie which is very good. If you are looking to buy holiday boxes I would recommend finding out similar tanks you love and comparing them to these upcoming tanks. If you're looking for something knew, I would recommend buying a few boxes in hopes of getting a tank or two because holiday boxes are THE BEST for gold even if you buy a little (but of course they're EXTREMELY good if you buy a lot because of tank compensations and extra gold from 250/500/1000 and premium days.
@@BLUEBROTHER132 yea 25 is still good, you can pull a tank or 2 and you can just sell them for the credits, teir 9 tanks can make you bonds, the more boxes you buy the more money you save with the resources
@@crayco_55 I unfortunately didn't pull the bz176 or Arnie, I got the MLE, AMBT and ambt I don't remember if the Russian autoloader and tiger maus were a part of those boxes though
When you see how bad the Felice is whith its terrible gun handling I can't see how the DZT 159 and the XM 57 could perform considering the fact that they have even worse gun handling. Also the DZT 159 has no hull armor and only 7 degrees of gun depression. So you will be able to reach good positions but not to exploit them meaning that the jet boosters are basically useless.
balancing premiums by giving them bad gun handling is a mistake. look at the T-832. Epic premium tank even though it's average in most aspects, because the gun fucking works despite lack of DPM vs T32. Who would pay real money for something frustrating, even if it's strong?
as every year on the European server will be the garbage. Run nice tanks on Russian server only. Thanks for the info not buying boxes this year will save me $300 earmarked for the game.
I´m so glad, there is not another bz176 in the boxes. The chineese med looks like you coulde instead just play a 430 or 430U (tier X) and have the same gameplay... So for me I´ll skip the boxes this year... easy 200€ saved this year XD
BZ-176 is overrated and it's getting old seeing people still band wagon whining about it. Play enough times and it's a trick pony most autoloaders can clip out once they fired. Shells are good but the gun is crap and it's a sitting duck like the OG Gsor once it fires. People get all whiney because they are the victim of the once in 200 shells mega shot where it actually hits, pens and ammo racks in one shot. OP no, decent, yes when it's working.
@@animalyze7120 bz was only an example for a must have tank. If it is strong/broken/fun is not the think here... The point is, that this year, there is nothing fun or exciting in the boxes....
The XM57 is a very toxic tank. You have poor DPM, very slow, very bad accuracy, and low hit points. I can see an XM57 player driving to a flank for 3 minutes of the game just to peak once, get their 630 alpha in, then get flanked, tracked, and then out gunned very easily by gold spammers. The XM57 needs to be played with teammates that will prevent opponents from flanking and pushing you. Wargaming makes everything trash about the tank except for armor and alpha so you're constantly craving for that high alpha damage satisfaction while playing a slow tank and missing your shots. It what destroys a player's mood and makes the game boring and toxic at times because you think you're going to have fun doing a lot of damage, but instead you're suffering with a inconsistent tank.
loot boxes are a scam like wg developers over priced pixels and until wg pulls thier head out the dark hole in their rear end all players need to boycott wg loot boxes, when wg fixes 3 basics in this game prem ammo maps and mm then maybe players should start to invest in wg the only way wg will find out players are tired of the trash content with thier wallets is the only way wg will listen

contradictious and chineese mt 9 lvl are pretty good i think
But if they give BZ then you would probably cry because its too op and broke the game. Tbh mid tanks, chinese med looks good maybe.
@@zsolts.414 But only that, and maybe the XM. Everything else is a huge pile of 💩
Why are you guys sad do you want more bz 176? I dont.

Looking forward to the DZT-159 with the rocket boosters. Fully expect a new Chinese med line.
Could you next time use “live” mode instead of “collision” in 3D model of the tanks? It’s much better and takes angles into account.
the DZT-159 looks crazy
Tesseract??? Really????
Tetrarch. You made me laugh.
I used to look forward to holiday ops but this year meh 🫤
So what do you need ? Bz176 or skoda t56 like t10 tanks in t8 ?
,@o_j_o6447 honestly, yes.
@o_j_o6447 nah he is right the tanks available on the lootboxes are trash tbh
@@aleyad2687 every year one upping tanks is real bad for the game
Wot Xmas is the best time
The panzerkampfwagon 38 K is the only vehicle I’m looking forward to. Saw it in a book called “Paper panzers”.
Thanks Video ! Something to think about :) Would sure be nice if you would look at the armor models In Live instead of Collision ... Thanks Again
Great video, but any chance you can use an ad blocker to stop the videos in the browser window? It's like having permanent picture-in-picture.
Thanks for the advice
How do you know these are going to be in the loot boxes?
He is just guessing. The name of video is clickbait, click dislike
@@Kislsghanagav- Well as the Zen Master said "we'll see". Wargaming will release it officially in a couple of weeks? Cheers
Has anybody noticed the free daily gift has gone? After screwing with my game all year they can whistle with their loot boxes.
SU-100I is based on sherman
The DZT is just a 122TM at tier 9
People sleeping on those italian heavies
The Japanese had some weird arty in WW2, a lower tier 5 premium arty won't break the game. Let the arty lovers have a bone to chew on every once & a while.
It'll be the current nerft arty so not even worth the garage slot.
Arty players have the lefh. They need to make 1 arty per game.
@@dank4522 Yes, and it may be the most toxic tank in the game, so they can't b!tch.

Yup, not sure I need to expand my list of 80 T8 premiums, And I am a PZ5/4 owner so i give zero cares about other t5 premiums.
At least there ist a super broken t8. Prem
Why are you showing us the collision models while talking about armor performance??

People like Weedle should be banned from posting video's when they are caught out right lieing.
There was literally nothing, other then maybe the T3 Stuart, I found interesting.

Gun handling is pretty good when you play it as a support medium. You can get the accuracy all the way up to 0.30/0.31 I love it
balancing premiums by giving them bad gun handling is a mistake.

styles next broo pls!!

How do u know ? is it FAKE like The GAME ??
who leaked it no one
nothing good , so I will say no thank you to WG this December . They all stick , nothing good

maps
and mm
then maybe players should start to invest in wg the only way wg will find out players are tired of the trash content with thier wallets is the only way wg will listen
non of these 3 things are a issue. but you should deinstal anyway.
