foch salt is gold

I'm surprised that Belarus has not invaded Latvia yet to take out Foch

The hiding of soft stats is a cancer that needs to stop in WG titles.

[KorezaanSu]

It's not "on the level of fraud", it IS fraud.

[CharcharoExplorer]

I agree that soft stats have to be presented in the game, but if they dont exist, then machines like the IS-7 would simply be the BEST. We have to display the soft stats.

[DEAN]

the power creep on the prems is kinda insane because this was one of the best tier 8 prems when it came out and now theres no reason youd pick this any more.

[pei]

just a recommend Foch, if you don't have enough time to re-do the premium tank that you used to recommend people buy.

How about just put a "outdated" or something like that in front of the video title? That doesn't take you a lot of time and its pretty effective in my option.

Short, honest, is why I'm subbed

I really like this tank. Have over 1000 games in it with 48% wr. Got pretty good at it around the 500 game mark. Probably have a current wr of 53 to 55%. Hard to tell because aint moving much at a 1000 games.

I've got it really maxed out on skills and my aim time is a little better than Sir Fochs.  This tank is awesome at clean up. If you play it right and conserve hp you can come into a fight and rush the other side. Then while they're worried about you your teammates can get some freebies and kill em off.

Love doing the circle of death on tds and slow heavies. One thing though. Unless you're at Fochs skill level and master strategy, you'll struggle a lot in the first hundred or so games. I had to fight up from 43% wr from about 150 games and basically, by the time I got to 47% wr I was at 300 games.

Love peeking around rocks and nailing a heavy with two shots before he knows where I am. Back out and swing around another side. This tank is great for going from one skirmish to another in seconds and then leaving that one and going back to the other.

Gotta love his humor :D I am ending up now more watching his videos than playing the actual game

That M46 is a genius.

This tank used to have best-in-class penetration, but now the Lorr 40t has 20 more penetration. The problem isn't that this tank is bad. The problem is that the new tanks are too fucking good. It's like they brought out the Defender just to fuck with the CDC's profitability since now you have to fire 10 premium rounds per game when there are 2-3 Defenders on the enemy team. Shoot 10 premium rounds and that's half your profit gone, but you can't pen a Defender's LFP even with 212 penetration that used to be considered really good penetration at tier 8. Same with the VK 100.01, you can't pen that tank's cupola with less than 220mm. They need to stop making these tier 8 heavies with 220mm thick weakspots that are given exactly enough armor so that the new tier 8 premiums can pen with normal rounds and old tier 8 premiums have to shoot gold to stay competitive.

[kristofbusch]

Wargaming is not respectig the money we've invested in the game, the old premiums are so bad compared to what they release now.

[TheFrivolt]

They've been fixing other premium meds lately, why not give the CDC some love as well? Fixing EITHER the dispersion, the ground resistances or the armor would be a significant improvement. The dispersion values really don't feel justified at all, especially not after playing the Pilot 1. ALL dispersion values of the T-34-3 are better than the CDC, which has a 122 mm gun..

A good thing about the CDC that you missed is the ammo capacity. 90 shells! That's nearly 22k potential damage. You'll never be forced to use premium ammo because you ran out of AP. It's something.

[fribogichu]

The reason for soft stats is easy to guess. Hidden numbers allow Wargaming to nerf tanks after the purchase. Not part of the official offering = no legal grounds for a refund.

[dert_]

I think I'm the only one that loves this tank it was my first prem on console from a op

[stavros]

Finally, a youtuber spoke the truth about the CDC.Maybe now they will buff it, at least the gun stats, they are horrible!

[tommeakin]

Lol this is the only tier 8 I ever bought...and yeah I pretty much wish I never bothered. I learnt my lesson; no more money for Wargaming.

[famflores-cuellar]

Hey look! its that prem i wasted 7.2k gold on thinking it was good! WOW! The rev is only, x10 better at least! and the sta-2!

Worst buy of my life. took me like 80+ games to ace cause i was tilted everytime i even saw it in my garage

[TheJayjam]

Honestly if they were to increase the speed and the pen, while keeping the other stats equal or slightly better, I think this tank would be actual competition to other T8s.
