Positioning is very important so I definitely get why speed is an issue but I think that now that these tanks have been buffed and the lines changed around they may on certain maps actually have a place in competitive. Definitely gonna enjoy seeing how the meta changes. -Boogeyman
They need to give the Maus a 80 Kmph top speed and a 40 p/w so it stops wasting space in my garage, though with the buffs it has I will play it more now when I keep losing like before, but it’s a better tank to lose in, I’m ready to be purple with a shit win rate boiiiis
i think the problem with the maus buffs is that its playstyle is going to be either you absolutly destroy everybody or you dont even reach the enemies. it gonna be fun on city maps or tiny maps and frustrating on big open maps
Circon, the Maus frontal armor did not become 250mm as you said. It’s still 200mm, only the hull slants (the edges betweeen side and front) were buffed to 250mm
All the reds will now be playing the superheavys and there will be almost nothing you can do about them without gold. Sure, they need the gun buffs, but making them almost impenetrable frontally by standard ammo is stupid. Giving the Maus 260 cheeks means that even the TDs will have to get lucky to hit that spot and pen, and that’s while UNANGLED. Before if I knew about the corner weakspot, and I was in an accurate tank (like my Conqueror) I could pen them at close range, even if the enemy was sidescraping. Now they buffed it and the only way I could pen it is with gold. In short: They made a lot of noobfriendly tanks and if you want to have any chance agains them, you will have to fire dem golddz. Combine that with the new premiums and you will see that they are moving in the P2W direction.
Seems to me with the changes they’re proposing to AP etc WG is even more blatantly saying “use premium ammo or go home”, which of course means “pay us money to afford it to be competitive”. On the Asia sewer before I quit you had people firing sprem ammo at tier 1, I kid you not. I imagine it’ll just get worse, making the game even more like tank-shaped CoD. Boring as fk compared with the fun times just before tier 10 TDs and premium rounds for cr.
fighting against that tier 8 in a tier 7 heavy? load gold instantly – is that a thing now? like the black prince, dafuq am I gonna do
i just don’t understand the balancing WG does, making tanks that are almost invincible frontally against tanks that are just one tier lower, and even with gold ammo it’s still just a 50/50 chance damaging it because of RNG in penetration values, and it gets better – you trade one shot of 150 damage (in a BP) and they just shxt on you for 490 which is even more than the russian 390, and they are just 1 tier higher
NOBODY noticed that Maus 200 to 250 is nothing to do with Front Plate, upper or lower, it is ONLY the Tiny edge on the left and right side of UFP, one tiny stripe. ????
I have killed E100s in the E75 / VK4502B in a face hug by shooting them in the turret ring. The Mauschen seems to suffer the same weak spot. Just judging from the video.
Cool video, keep it up! Couple of minor things, mostly due to inaccurate/unclear patch notes:
– Maus frontal glacis buffs from 200 to 250 never made it into the patch. – Maus lower side armor buff are the parts behind the tracks, this fixes the dumb situation where you could wreck a maus through the track at pretty high angles due to the nature of 80mm being easily penetrated. – The VK4502B also got a frontal turret buff from 252 to 265, which is not mentioned in the preliminary patch notes. – VK4502B had its machine gun port removed from the collision, thus no longer forming a weak spot in the upper glacis.
i think the main problem with the vka was bad gun and shit mobility, i always liked the armor on that tank and making it more of a medium heavy would have been better IMO
You forgot to mention E-75 and the Tigers turret buff 😀 the tiger turret now can hold better against 122’s 175 pen gun and E-75 got it’s soft stats and aim time buffed
vk 100.01 (P) concerning, pennig it with a tier VIII is gonna be 50/50 unless you forked out 40ish euros for patriot or liberty which will shit on this like they shit on other tier VIII.
a slow tank is a dead tank
what song is circon using in the beginning :thinking:

Is it known when the live server 9.17.2 is out?
Wargaming just whants us to fire gold and gold only!
Nobody talks about E50M ever…
They need to give the Maus a 80 Kmph top speed and a 40 p/w so it stops
wasting space in my garage, though with the buffs it has I will play it
more now when I keep losing like before, but it’s a better tank to lose in,

Really like the new mix of new informative vids with the old epic/hilarious
vids you are known for well played sir well played.
WOOT! My Maus got a buff! Took them long enough!
thats stupid why nerf the vk B? It wasnt broke. its just annoying now every
fuking germany heavy has to sidescrape to work. yawn
It has 400 meter view range because the hubble space telescope is mounted
in the top of the turret
Well I’m glad I wasn’t waiting on the Tiger II to get buffed or anything.
Circon you forget about the E100 pen buff
im working on the M103 atm and i can wait to farm exp on them.
did my eyes just decive me or did the VK-B get better turret frontarmour
from 252 to 265
I looked at the American td buffs, imagine a T-28 Prototype going 28 kph if
you will!!
Now they need buff the IS-7 becouse it really cant compete with this new
tanks. Only thing IS-7 have is the turret.
So now maus CAN NOT pen other maus in 1v1 without APCR :D
i think the problem with the maus buffs is that its playstyle is going to
be either you absolutly destroy everybody or you dont even reach the
enemies. it gonna be fun on city maps or tiny maps and frustrating on big
open maps

Would you say doing HT-12 for the Obj, 226 is now harder in the VK B after
the nerf?

wasnt e100 supposed to get pen buff
remove autoloaders and gold ammo. All you see. Will drive the Japanese
heavys to annoy these people..
the armor buff on the Maus is a nice meme: press 2 and pretend no buff ever
happened
fighting against that tier 8 in a tier 7 heavy? load gold instantly – is
that a thing now? like the black prince, dafuq am I gonna do

should have buffed armore more instead of gun
Goed bezig Circ, dit zijn juist de dingen die ik wil weten, voordat ik
begin aan een grind voor een bepaalde tank of zelfs een tank-lijn.
what is happening to the E5s hatch cuz i cant find any stats
so happy about the e100 buff
i think the main problem with the vka was bad gun and shit mobility, i
always liked the armor on that tank and making it more of a medium heavy
would have been better IMO
You forgot to mention E-75 and the Tigers turret buff 😀 the tiger turret
now can hold better against 122’s 175 pen gun and E-75 got it’s soft stats

biggest buff to maus would be if team would let u tank for them before
situation is 1-15 :D
Maus buff is sick. I love it. :D
They didnt nerf the VK A viewrange, it’s 390 🙂 Also vk b got turret front
buff from 252 to 265, other than these, pretty solid vid
Rant Circon, rant away!
vk 100.01 (P) concerning, pennig it with a tier VIII is gonna be 50/50
unless you forked out 40ish euros for patriot or liberty which will shit on
this like they shit on other tier VIII.
hwo about the E100? did it get some buffs?
Nothing for the E100?
Did you forget the E-100 gun buff or did I miss it?
