I was playing this just a little bit ago. It has negative armor but it is soooooo brutal. I love how much damage it can sling out. It is honestly easy to just shred your foes in the 4005.
One thing to remember is that you don't need to shoot all 4 shells at once, like in the 50B keeping 3 or 2 shells in reserve will hurt whatever comes into your reticle next. You usually don't know what will happen in the next 22 seconds of reload so getting a fast pen and holding on the other 3 shells is valid on this tank.
I find it odd that neither of these td lines make sense. This line has a bunch of hesh cannons and then ends on a heshless autoloader... Huh... The other is slow, heavily armored, pew pew guns that leads toooo.... Turreted armorless massive hesh cannon... Hrmmmm.
To be honest i would like to see some kind of premium or collector tier 10 Japanes heavy, cuz i play a lot with Type 68 soon Type 71. But it feels like Japan is kinda overlooked.
You’ve always gotta run spall with glass canons. It can save you, some tanks will do the same damage as AP and sometimes even less . Although you’ll still get nuked by stuff like an E 100, it will only be 800 instead of 1000
Its a fun tank but I cant play it when half the team is wiped out in the first minute. I tried it after this video and had 5 of 7 tanks gone by 5:29 of the game. Its so bad.
the fv 4005 has good speed of 40km/h but the reverse speed, it's 10km/h Plus it's turret armor is very weak, making it able to be one shotted by the fv215b 183.
depends on your play style, if you can do well playing class cannons then 4005 could be reallly fun. otherwise jag is also really good with the accurate 183mm(if using tungsten).
JGpz. You can tank, you are actually quite nimble and you have huge alpha. No brainer. If you are very good player then fv4005 can be option, but honestly, its 7.5 sec, but many times people will poke and trade with you and you shoot 1-2 shoots. Its not like free farmfest always will be there... If you like the playstyle of fv4005 (it has 45 degree on each side turret only!), just grind T54, thing has 3 shots, but has armor, hitpoints and very easy to do good in battles. If choice is between those, better go for jagpz.
Tbh. The Shitbarn is not that shit. Yes,it has armor but you have Spall Liner AKA Get Out of Jail Free Card from 183. Dealing 1.6K burst. It is not slow either 40 is quite speedy for a TD. Heck adding speed on this thing might make this thing completely broken.
IIRC name came from wot PC like, almost a decade ago when the fv4005 had the 183mm like the fv215b, but generally was just worse, while also being as big as a barn, or something like that.
It only works when your extremely good and your team supports you or they are playing defensively and not rushing like bots. Otherwise don’t get it, it will make you go crazy mad lol
Friendly hint! If you afk, just load back in the game quickly and you will enter back into the battle. I have come back and still won several games like this. -GodsDomain
