Patch 8.11 (World of Tanks)

Not long ago the test server was released for patch 8.11 of world of tanks. It brought a small update before the supposed "Whopping 9.0 Update".  This update included a new map, the Tier 10 tank destroyer nerfs and the reworking of a few maps.

The new map is windstorm and it has a small city in the center with 3 choke point bridges and then the it is surrounded by an open field with a windmill either side. The windmill does not hold any advantages at all and there is not much cover. I guess this map tries to support getting off your ass and doing some work on the battlefield instead of campy campy snipy snipy. The rest of the map changes have followed this fashion in removing most camping spots and making them not as desirable. Mediums and Lights will now actually be fun instead of a stressful grind to get that awesome Tier 10...Cough Cough.

The tank destroyer nerfs most impacted the Foch 155 which went from 850 to 750 damage and lowered armour and pen. ALL tier 10 TD guns that had 850 damage now do 750 (Including the BL-10on the ISU-152).

So thats basically it for this review and i will catch you next time

STB-1 Review Japanese Tier 10 Medium Tank

The STB-1 is a very unique medium tank. Yes, you do need to use the peek-a-boo tactic quite a lot BUT its also not a bad hull down tank. Its armour is mediocre but is very fast and usually drives at around 40-55kmph. This means a you can get around that Jagdpanzer E-100 and blast him to death. What else helps is its Very good reload time. This tank can sustain a medium amount of fire because of its decent hit points.

SU-122-44 Russian Premium Tank Destroyer Review (Part 2)

Welcome to part 2!

Going to try and keep this a bit shorter.

The armour, as said in the comments of the previous blog the armour is 175mm thick (With the angle that is).
This tank is a campy snipy tank that loves to sit at the back (Unless its in a tier 5-6 game then hell, go for it). But when in tier 7-9 games you definitely want to sit back a bit and let your scouts do the scouting (Who would have thought of that!) Watch out of hitting your heavies though as it can be a bit of trouble sometimes - that's why i recommend not sitting too far back but try and keep our of sight and in a good bush.
Another thing that i noticed about this marvelous machine is it is VERY low profile. Its about the height of the Stug - maybe a bit taller so sitting behind walls is not a good idea (You wont be able to shoot but you will still be high enough to be shot).

The best equipment for this tank is a gun rammer, camo net and a gun laying drive. At least thats what i use to maximize performance out of this beast. For crew skills - Commander (Sixth Sense), Gunner (Deadeye), Driver (Clutch braking) and The Loader (Safe Stowage). For the next set you will need to Jack Of All Trades on the commander, repairs for the gunner and loader and off-road driving for the driver.

Thanks for reading, stay tuned for tomorrow's post.

SU-122-44 Russian Premium Tank Destroyer Review (Part 1)

Tier 7 Premium Russian Tank Destroyer

Hey tankers, today i will be reviewing the SU-122-44 Russian tank destroyer.

This review will be a bit more in-depth for this tank (Over the SU-100Y)

First lets talk about the armour, this armour is strange in such as it is very well angled and not half bad thickness (Not great). Don't expect to be bouncing shots from anything too soon. You may get a few lucky bounces here and there but definitely don't rely on it.
The next part to this tank is the engine, keeping it short - its quite fast and maneuverable, that being said it has a horrible speed when backing up.
The gun depression is well....Russian and obviously not very good.
The accuracy is better than most Russian TD's but still make sure to aim before shooting.
On the topic of the gun though, its a monster. I may even say OP but don't want it nerfed. with a 6 second reload (With a Gun Rammer) it can tear up an opponent quickly. I have found this tank does 270-400ish damage.
It is a GREAT sniping tool as well.

Stay tuned for Part 2 (Internet cut out)

SU-100Y Russian Premium Tank Destroyer Review

Hello tankers, sorry about the lack of posts lately. I should be able to keep a steady stream of content now!

Ok with that out of the way, i would like to talk to you all about the Russian Premium Tank destroyer.

First of all ill start off with the cons

Cons -
There is no armour at all.
View Range is absolutely horrible.
Reload time is...long.

Pros -
Apocalyptic gun
Loads Faster than the KV-2
pretty darn fast.


All that being said - it gives you a pretty good idea of how it plays.

Very much worth it.
