430U in Battlepass! HOLD THE LINE! | World of Tanks 

XD

its literally a better 277 and people try and say 140 is alot better but the 430u has 3300 dpm too with more alpha and better armor and same speed so its not really any better

Not quite. 277 is better since it is faster so it can take better positions, have a more punchy gun to brawl with and the main reason other than the speed is the turret. 430u's cupolas and top of the turret can be penned without gold, on the other hand even gold ammo struggles against a hulldown 277. Plus russian meds love to burn frontaly so one mistake is enough. On the 140's note, it literally have better dpm and way more tamed gun, with a touch better gundep (which can make your armor quite nice tho) but its not really a frontline brawler like the 430u and the 277 so in that case its more of a playstyle and experience issue. Still out the 3 of these I would recommend the 430u for beginners since if people wont shoot gold it can be forgiving time to time and big alpha+bit less dpm can be a good start for people. 140 and 277 requires a bit more gamesense imo. But all in all as I said, preferences are different so have fun with it

@@mgb1905 bruh i aint reading that book 277 has no brawling potential if it aint hull down yes its faster

Still better brawling potential without a hulldown. Better trades overall and as I've said, it wont burn out after one shot and it can actually facehug, unlike the the 430u with his weak hull around the turret where people can shoot down since its smaller than most of the tanks it could brawl against.

Good riddance

It hasn't fallen. Maybe in Skills mind, but its still one of the best T10 medium in the game, and the best medium in some situations. Gun handling is great, only downsize is shell velocity, but you can't have them all...

Gun handling is definitely not great, and since it had the armour nerf a few years back it’s nothing compared to where it used to be, especially now in faster games T10 games used to be filled with 430U’s, now you hardly see it, and I’m sure the reason for that isn’t because it’s one of the best mediums in the game…

@@Fizzoid I won't say anything about the snapshots, wich is like 1/3 is penetrating the targets in 430U, even without gold, and thats insane, but in close combat this gun is really good. Maybe people wanted to be too agressive in 430U acting like a Maus, but still. As skill always say, combination of the things in this tank, for me, its insanse. And I would still count this tank as an epic.

And, just to make all things clear from my perspective, I think that 121B is the best medium in tier 10.

the 430u nerf was too hard!! before that it was maybe the same like leopard

@@paylordin_crease9062 430u is basically a ht with avrg gun & leo is a super fast medium with no armor and laser gun.. how tf can those 2 be the same 🤷

@@mr.jx5n324 don,t know! was my feeling°! Both are my favourite tanks and 430u was really strong before that

Don't peak any tier 10 td except badger and foch b as all others have 375mm and above pen and 268v4 has 260 which can pen

well 430 u is brawler in nature and gun handling is made mean to handle these stuations. it's dpm and gun handling is more than enough in close quarters.

it was heavily nerfed tho

It's the Kelevra 3d style that was available from x mas lootboxes few years ago. Kelevra is Hebrew for 'bad dog' apparently and I guess that's why the marks are different as well.

@@aristaeus2514 ya, I've seen a few of those skins on various Russian mediums. They look like the Tiran series of tanks the Israelis made out of captured t 55s and t 62s, after the Yom Kippur war.

Which tank?

Tier 10 is much better imo. Gun handling is just as derpy but your armor works much better and you have autowin gold rounds.

Its from the 3D skin bro

121 has a better gun than 430U in every way: better reload, better accuracy, better bloom, better AP penetration, faster shells, same gun depression.

It is because of 3D skin. "Kelevra"

Yeah, in close range 1v1 this tank is lethal in random battles, just sidescrape (properly) and farm everyone

not true! you can always hit the sky or the dirt

Unless you snapshot on the move

um that's only if you aim if you just point and click it's all good lol

121 gun also rated 2 stars and for this is 3, there is quite a lot of inconsistency in ratings

no it's just a stupid rating. STB is way better in terms of gun handling compared to 430u.

@@SomeOne_86 ofc it is, but its to be expected, skill doesn't play much before rating, so if he will get bad rng for a gun, he will rate it bad

@@durachoks i already thought so, same with udes 16, i liked the tank and gun handling wasnt so bad either. im currently grinding the type61 for stb1 and gonna feel the gun in a couple of days for my self

@@Bloody7890 and again, hard to say what is considered by "gun handling", if you take in to account ammo shell velocity and pen than you can easily say udes gun is really bad compared to other meds

lol how do you know if its better if you havent even played it yet

140 is da beast

@@durachoks it certainly is better tho, the only thing the 430u really does better is alpha but its too derpy to make it count otherwise its armor isnt really that much better to propel it to be a better or equal tank

@@snekkie117 430u can sidescrape a lot better than 140. Anyway its hard to tell what tank is better in wot. Take a tomato player and I can bet he will do a lot better in 430u.

430 gun is better for corridor and city maps also you have very reliable armor when used correct why would you think the 140 is better overall

it is the only way

Personally I think that in a 1vs1 brawl the 430U wins.

@@genzod7940 If the Players are on the Same level, never. RNG plays a huge role too tho

@@Aquila. 430U has more armor, more mobility, faster reload time, faster turret traverse speed, I don´t see how a 277 can´t take over a 430U in a brawl specially if players are on the same level.

@@genzod7940 I wouldn't say that the 430U has more armor, and even if 430 Has faster Reload time, 277 just deals more Damage is more mobile (Or at the same level) and has overall a better gun handling

It‘s the 3D-skin from the christmas boxes. Without it, the gunmarks show up as stars as on every other russian tank
