After slogging through the not terribly good tiers 2-4, you’re finally rewarded with the first of the true Japanese monsters – the 100 tonne O-I Experimental.

I always enjoy your vids Jedi!
5:29 “I’m retroactively disappointed in myself”. I think we have a slogan
for the range of PointyHairedJedi merchandise :-)
I cannot suffer through another painfully slow heavy tank. Going up the
Churchills and Black Prince almost made me quit the FV215b line! Plus,
they’re so damn ugly!
I was thinking of firing up WoT again after a 6 month break. Then I saw
these tanks that strongly resemble what my 5 year old boy draws and
realised that WG has really lost the plot.
Jedi, just bind the commands “wheel” to one of the extra buttons of your
mouse. Very convenient to ask for help, or ask someone to follow, whatever,
without having to remember 7 or 8 keys.
Yeah Circon said he doesn’t like the tier 9 very much …he just said it
with more anger and swearing ;)
I liked the OI ex , took me a day to grind for the OI . oh that derp gun oh
dear .. personally I think the KV2 is a lot more accurate pinpoint accurate
in comparison . so I stayed with the stock gun , its quite good at mid to
long range sniping ( most of the time ) and that gives you the distance to
angle your armor to bounce lots of shells :)
wow that shot through the train carriage to kill the KV, most accurate derp
gun ever?
The biggest problem I found was after hitting the O-I, I realized these
tanks were only good in top tier MM. Like only 1 tier [insert here] and the
rest lower [until you get to 9 and 10]
Gave up on the O-I because it was so slow and had no armor for tier 6+ 😐
These tanks were *greatly* overblown.
The experimental was op as shit with its gun and speed though.
God damn hedi, you’re giving me strokes when you throw away top guns like
that!
You missed out the R in Through in the description Plebi. :P
The Tier 9 is probably the worst of the bunch, aside from the abysmal low
tiers, in the entire branch. From what i’ve seen. Circon says that the
entire line is not worth it but don’t believe in his opinion.
Just a warning Jedi, the tier 8 O-Ho is considered the lame duck of the
line and most will run it with the 150mm Derp rather than the actual top
gun (though 13 second reload on the derp with vents and rammer is nice).
The armour is noway sufficent tier for tier as the O-Ni (200mm will be
blown through by same tier heavies) and it has horrible gun depression
frontally.
The O-Ni suffers from ‘Matilda problem’ of being an absolute beast when top
tier, ok when Mid-tier and useless when bottom tier (even moreso than the
Matilda with that amazing pen for its tier).
The Type 4 is decent, very slow, armour is decent, gun handling is bleh but
useable. Not got to the tier 10 yet.
The ‘sweet spot’ of the Japanese heavy line seems to be tier 6.
jedi a tip for you is to use the z key it gives you all the options of the
function keys and can be selected by using the mouse
honestly i didnt like the tier 5 much at all the armour never worked for me
because people just shot the turret constantly it was really annoying to
grind for me
Heaviest T5 Confirmed :3
I recently unlocked the OI without getting the OI-e engine upgrade but I
kept the OI-e to grind the engine most of the way, worked well playing OI-e
with the missions(5k xp chunks helps). After I ground the tracks and big
gun on the OI I just free xp’d the remaining 9k xp on the OI-e to get the
top engine. So far I have not found the armor on any of the tanks to be
very useful, but the guns are good.
You are one of à kind Jedi, Allways make me smile!
I just bought my Type 4. All the tanks on the line are amazing
