WTF I JUST NOTICED THIS EDITTING FAIL IN 2022

[tanksedge]

I'm so early quickybaby haven't even started his intro yet.

This thing's massive AP round is meme worthy for the amount of silly overmatching it does because you're firing it out of a mobile five story building into people's heads.

HE rework: the change no one wanted and no one needed. Proof of what Jingles said in one of his videos concerning how idiots try to fix things that aren't broken just to impress their bosses.

[stevenlindell]

This battle was a 1 in a thousand. Most battles won’t go this well in a type 5.

[pupusa]

I got a Type 4 right before WG announced they were going to ruin HE lol.

[barryfinney]

Yeah works great when the enemy lets you sit behind them and shoot them in the ass. After 2 nerfs I want all the credits I spent grinding up to this tank.

[Vic-Bee]

I played my Type 5 after the update, bounced AP twice, switched to HE and did sub 100 dmg, then switched to APCR and bounced once before returning to AP and doing sub 300 dmg. At end of battle I sold my Type 5.

Still my biggest issues with these HE nerfs is around some of those Tier 7 through Tier 9 grinds on stock tanks when you have yet to unlock the top gun. You used to be able to do some damage to those higher tiers heavies with a stock gun by loading HE on hull downs. Just see once again this is a change that main impacts the F2P or newer player group dramatically more than paying customers.

Still think there could have been a better answer than an HE nerf. If SPG's were the issue then just limit the number in higher tiers.

[MerlosTheMad]

lol wargaming just love buffing their russian tanks. im convinced the kv2 meme machine was the only reason they waited so long to do this xD

[danielkorladis]

I was really more concerned about what the HE nerfs would do to the classic KV-2 and the SU-152.

[some-random-dude]

As my first tier 10 with a female commander and each crew having multiple skills trained, yes ienjoyed playing the tank, i grinded this tank because of its gun back then with that big HE rounds it fires, now that its gone, i gradually lost interest

[Monique-izlp]

It's been dead for years, went from a bad Maus to P2W nonsense to a bad Maus

[sheridanpickle]

Rare footage of what happens before the vid starts

[VirtualLunacy]

I rarely see type 5 heavy in battle these days.
I actually stopped the Japanese heavy grind with the O-Ho, I played that one a lot.
But right before I was going to get the type 4, they nerfed them hard.
And now with the HE re-work, there seems to be no point at all.
I should submit a refund for my KV-2(R) since you can only use the 152 on that tank.

[alexanderstoyanov]

Derp is basically dead after HE changes, too unpredictable and highly dependant on mm against weakly armoured tanks, derp tanks are pretty much useless now

[dzecob]

HE changes were the line in the sand for me. Haven't played the game since.
Still watching this fellow, though.

[bejoalan]

I'm still at OI, but darn it, bouncing HE shells felt really weird

[timberwolfe]

So....for 85% of the player base...we'll ONLY be using armor piercing.

I mean, first 6k for a shot. Add in 6 secs for Intuition, and Then knowing where to attack 600 + kinds of tanks?

Yeah, right

[aandreyna]

I don't know QB. I saw this video and excitedly jumped in my 5 skill crew Type 5 heavy, launched into battle, lined up my shots and fired 16 AP rounds... no pens and no damage.
