100% agree. WG nerfing the DPM of the 215b was like taking the armour and hp away from the Maus. The DPM gun is the signature for this tank. With its design and armour, it was a hard tank to play to start off with, now it is just irrelevant.

[Jaozedong-qh]

I have no clue why this tank is still in the game. 2150 HP while having no armour, no mobility, no dpm and no gun depression? You can't even play it like a med because every med out dpms you. I wish they would just delete the tank from the game if they hate it that much. Stop nerfing it, just remove it.

At this point, FV215b start to thinking
*Why I still exist?*

[ianfallier]

FV215b was my first tier x heavy tank and really liked playing the kind of unique style, hull-down/medium crusher, is the kind of style I played in it. Now it doesn't really have anything that sets it apart from the others. The tank is one of the hardest tier x heavies to play with its okay-ish armor, low top speed, and rear-mounted turret, but with a decent turret, good gun, Hesh, and excellent DPM I thought it was pretty balanced. But now with its almost medium tank like HP level and DPM reduced it doesn't have anything that sets it apart besides its uniqueness, so to be honest it's been power crept and then nerfed at the same time which just ends up making it a "it's a decent tank, but 99% of the people won't play more than a few battles in it every couple of months if they remember it, that is if they didn't sell it" tank.

This tank is a shadow of its former self. Also, 2150 HP? Really wargaming? Most T9 heavies have more hit points than that. Give it an extra 200 HP and people might play it more.

FV215b was my first ever tier X tank in the game. It's a shame that it's no longer relevant. The M6Yoh is now my favourite tier X heavy.

[joesharman]

Love the series! Yes, I would like to see more vids like this!

[Andy.D]

Haven’t played 215b for ages. It’s gathering dust and cobwebs. I would like to see best and worst tanks going down the tiers. Keep up the good work.

[xraydoc]

Great topics and fun to hear your take on the tanks. Looking forward to more 3-part videos in the other tiers. Thank you!

[__chinmay__]

Meadsy, I like this format because it not only gives explanations of the worst tank/best tank it also gives the viability of other tanks :D

[pumapandora]

Yeah I think this kind of videos is great and you could obviously keep them going. I’m not sure wether you’ve made one on the tier X light tanks yet, and I don’t think that going down to or below tier four is worth it but as I said this is a good idea for videos. I like that you’re going down the other tanks of the tier, basically giving an overview of the competition the tank has. (Only thing I’m sad about is that I had the caenarveon sitting in my garage for a long time and wanted to get the 215b, and then they nerfed it)

[vasili]

Thanks Meadsy! Nice video!! Yes continue please with all the tiers!!! I would like it so very much!!!

[catseye]

Would love to see the lower tiers reviewed. This is very informative

[vegemite_tanker]

Great series mate definitely go through the tiers.

[flyingfishy]

You should do more videos like this Meadsy!

[warrenpabbott]

I still like the 215b. I also like this video series. Go for it, man. It's fun.

I honestly love this tank but i don't even disagree that this tank is horrendous rn after it's reload nerf. The biggest problem with it is the upper hull armour which is pretty paper. Other than that this tank is a glorious king of the hill, surely a lot of people stray away from the "horrible" gun depression of just -7 and rear turreted but that's the gist of it. The rear mounted turret in practice actually enable you to use the -7 of GD it's hard to explain but imagine your hull is in an incline - that makes the rear half of the tank to become lower thus putting your turret at a lower point. No wonder it's always said as the e5's brother because even tho both tanks don't have -10 GD but their turret is super solid when hulldown (except for occasional pen with the 215b's cupola by TD's). My advice is always always hulldown with this tank

Hello my friend, as usual your videos are outstanding, I have a question, in yesterday's video about medium tanks you discussed the m60, how is it a medium tank, it's based on the m48 heavy tank, the m60 main battle tank is a heavy tank, when I was in desert storm we had m60's and they destroyed 100 Russian made t72 main battle tanks with the loss of just one m60, in the 1980's the u.s. army replaced the m60 tank with the Abrams main battle tank, but we marines still had m60's, and we did have some Abrams but not many, how is it that wargaming could get it so wrong, or is it that they just don't care, I was wondering if you could shed some light on this for me please, thank you, have a nice day

[marlinismosquito]

Imagine you have a tank: great turret armour with an amazing gun and good speed but bad hull armour and only 7 gun depression, its already balanced right? yes. so what do you do? you take away its amazing gun, you take away its speed so now what do we have left? a good turret with meh gun depression and good accuracy

[reeizz]

i remember something funny when this tank still kicking

idk why but I'm stuck in a strange spot and angle with 700hp left and a t57 spamming heat on my hatch, 2 clip/6 shells and bounced them all, and then i realised how strong the hatch is
