Stat line: 5.1k damage, 6 kills, 1.5k spotted
Strengths and Weaknesses
+ superb cannon depression (-10)
+ superb accuracy (0.12 base)
+ excellent reload time (7.8 sec base)
+ good targeting time (2.9 sec base)
+ good turret and upper front plate protection
+ solid mobility
– low damage (331 for AP, 405 for HEAT) relative to its peers
– cupola is a prominent weak spot
– lower front plate is large and penetrable
– large profile

Similar to my “Road to Unicum” video for World of Tanks (WoT), the objective of these AW videos is to meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.

Hey, Taugrim. It doesn’t really fit what you’ve done before with a video,
but I’d love your thoughts on the various commanders available and what
type of tanks you recommend for each. TIA!
Are you still gonna upload WoT vids?
NOTICE THE DROP ON VIEWS? please come back to WoT. there’s alot to do
Taugrim, respectfully, I hate that you love this game so much.
looking forward to this one tbh. My only T5 is the Chieftain and I quite
like that beasty =) You say the T5 Leo is kinda squishy? I thought it was
rather good. Or maybe I have it mixed up with the T6 Leo… not sure.
Only watched 5 videos and I already love your channel! Keep up the AW
videos,and if you can,please the review the Leopard line! I am currently
playing the Leopard 2 (not the 2AV). It’s got a lovely gun,ridiculously
good frontal turret and upper glacis,and it’s fast. Although the lower
glacis can be a problem,you’re practically invincible hull down.
Well,again,great videos,and I can’t wait for the next one!
is the bagelpanzer worth the grind and time?
+Taugrim Love the videos, I started playing this a couple of weeks ago. A
suggestion could you go over commanders and crew skills used. Also the
retrofits used on the tanks and possible options used there. Or make a
separate video for commanders and/or retrofits choices for the different
types of tanks?
Are you done with WoT? yes or no?
Definitely would like a video on the fox. Also with the Fox can you go over
more on the dynamics of shifting weapons fire from the ATGM to the auto
cannon. I know you spoke of it on the begleitpanzer.
Heya Taugrim. I’m currently experimenting with HEP ammunition after
noticing that it has 100% bonus module damage. I have been stacking this
damage with commanders that improve module damage to amplify the effect.
Testing this in the LAV-300 with Ioannis Sanna in PVE missions so I can
guarantee engine shots, I have been able to record some incredibly large
critical hits. I assume other vehicles more suited to brawling and ambush
play will get HEP ammo too. This could be a fun build for pvp. Perhaps you
could take a look at it to see if you think it would be viable.
pls more wot videos taugrim pls pls pls pls pls pls
Really helpful brother… !! M almost improving and grinding at same pace
like u… So really really helping videos.. !!! Thumbs up..
I noted you are using Freija. What are your thoughts on her/Juan Carlos vs
Viktor Kirsanov? I find the 10% crew bonus to every skill with VK to be
much more significant since it aids mobility, turret traverse, aim time,
etc. and not just the reload.
Fun tank but a single well-placed artillery shell can detonate every ERA
panel in one hit.
How do you get the UI piece that shows previous shots and what damage they
did?
Fox it!
Armored Warfare clearly takes innovaction from WoT, how would you compare
the two games? Good and bad sides?
are you going to play world of tanks again or are u burnt out on it?
Cool Review and all but… Cyupiila?
i dont have a fox. but seeing other people use it, i feel like it is
basically more like an autoloader in wot, like a 13 90.instead of the
machine gun like alot of other tanks in this game,
I thought you were gonna teach us how to pick up hotties. =(
Excellent video as always.
That cupola can be such a troll on the A3…
all been waiting for this :)
Sweet another Taugrim video :3
