The GSOR 1010 FB - Tank Review - World of Tanks 

To be honest its a fairly balanced tank, i'd rather these types of tanks come into the game than more BZ's

The traverse and speed actually looks somewhat realistic on this. The French wheelies have always been physics breaking in the way they move, even in an arcade style game. I think players have been spoiled by the speed powercreep over the years so now something like this doesn't seem special when there are heavies that aren't much slower.

1am and I got a 9am calculus final yet I'm here.... Let's go

I will admit, this turned out exactly how I thought it would: a sniper/support pseudo-leopard. People kept comparing them to the french wheeled tanks, but that's the whole point: they were never designed to be like the french ones. WG stated this multiple times as well. Not fast, not speedy, not having the turning speed of the french ones, not sneaky. The british meds were supposed to be sniper support with fairly fast mobility for a medium and low armor, but wheels instead of tracks. That's it.

To be fair i'm just happy that recently WG has not put out any broken op tanks in the game. I much rather have a below average, but possibly fun to play, tank (like old premiums) instead of one that broke the matchmacking for whatever years untill people get bored of it or another power creep machine takes it's place. So props to WG for trying to not destroy the game more than it has already done in the past.

The physics look so awkward on this tank considering how big it is. Also looks a pain as you mentioned to hide in bushes. Hope the tech tree has a lot more diversity

The scaling of this tank looks a little odd compared to a lot of other tanks and makes it seem like an absolute chonker but I'll take it if that's the most "broken" thing about it. I'm just glad this doesn't seem like yet another outrageous premium that will be 1000x better than it's tech-tree counterpart once those will arrive. Good on WG as well to sell these in rather affordable bundles if you want just the vehicle which is exactly how it always should be with new content.

We need more tanks like these, that are balanced upon release, not another OP prem tank like the BZ or Borat that will never be nerfed. I'm afraid that we are all so used to seeing broken OP prem tanks, that when WG releases a balanced prem tank by some miracle, we all call it "bad" or "disappointing".

Quick note regarding your Cobra commander and radio ops, you forgot the Matilda which has the same commander loadout as both those tanks.

So...they made a...normal vehicle for once?! And not some type of feature monster?! I LOVE IT!

I think sometimes you just have to get over the fact that you dont always have to have 445 meters view range. 440 is definetley playable. My e50m has 440 and it hasn't stopped me from getting 58 percent wins in it. When you are okay with 440m viewrange, it opens up so many options. For example in my bourrasque, without vents, I have 440 max. but I can then use a rotation, vert stabs and turbo to make it more fun to play and make the traverse bit better. You could drop the turbo for aiming device, gun laying drive, exhaust, many other options. just my humble opinion.

I like this design, seems like an enjoyable tank to play, fairly balanced.

QB keeping us updated like a Boss (A good Boss that is 😄). Rock on Tankers 🤘😎

Let's try and jam a 105mm into a CVR(T) Scorpion turret that in reality could hardly cope with a 76mm.

It's amazing the fact that it can pivot.

2 AM for me, perfect time when I’m not sleepy.

The first game, starting behind the VK 100 really shows off how big this tank is, pretty much the same width, turret just as wide and almost as tall

Not broken, still fun. Running vens, optics and rammer on in but plan to swap out out optics for bounty turbo when my commander gets recon and situational awareness. I do recommend getting BIA and camo first as it makes it more versatile.

I think the biggest issue of this tank is that WG created tons of ridiculously OP premiums in this game so this vehicle gets overshadowed by tens of other ones.

Nice blocking of the retreat of the Scorpion. Giving him a hit for bumping.

Three days in and I'm having some very good games in it. And some quick trips to the garage!

What gear do you put it in to turn the wheels forward on the left side and backwards on the right? Which way do you turn the steering wheel to turn in place? French wheelies: completely unrealistic high speed turns. British wheelies: completely unrealistic no speed turns.

Finally 4k and 1440p videos.......nice!

Looks more like a TD, /2nd line med, when you consider all the strengths and weaknesses. I love the standard pen and ability to get into position/flex.

What terrifies me is that... It does not look overpowered, bonkers or too weird. It is a clear rear line vehicle with no real weird tricks beyond the wheels gimmick.

The question I have is, will it bounce high velocity, large caliber ammo and keep driving like the ebr's?

I'm a noob to this game and I've heard on a few of your vids talking about "which build" you decided to use. How do you know BEFORE you get on a map that you will be assigned that map and which build to use? There are some maps that I like to snipe on but my build wasn't for it and I had no idea I was going to be playing that map until I was on it.

Evidently I got this out of a loot box. Totally forgot about it. Never played it was going through my garage. Noticed it said why not played zero wheeled vehicles I'm absolutely in love with this thing! Coated optics (improved), exhaust and a commander's vision system sneaky thing the gun is amazing having so much fun with this 2nd game I played got an ace tanker.

i feel like sometimes when people talk about dpm they forget to talk about how dps dont matter if u dont hit the shells so a good gun can sometimes just end up haveing more dpm, anyhow love the video and cant way to try the techtree

hey QB, nice review but i have a question.... does it come with a x10 crews like the one you are showcasing? hahaha

Wot content creators when their tanks aren't jack of all trades that can snipe, go fast, shoot fast, and have armor:

Personally I found this tank surprisingly interesting. I thought it wouldn't be very good, based on some of the characteristics and my prior expectations were pretty low. Anyhow, since I wasn't sure I could play it like most of the meds I have in the garage, I tried a bit of an unorthodox setup compared to how I usually equip my mediums at least and so far stuck with it, since it seemed to be the one working fine enough for me. I feel like as a whole, there are things one cannot improve or "force" on this tank, but there are some downsides that can be improved/remedied meaningfully on it to make it more effective. Although I usually want my dpm boosted on most tanks, in my opinion, making this tank's dpm higher won't really make a difference: it will still be lower compared to most peers, and since you are made of paper with realtively few HP and are a huge target as well, you won't win many 1 on 1 faceoffs relying on dpm itself. But your pen is reliable and your alpha is actually above average for a tier 8 med while both the gun handling and accuracy are very good, so you would usually prefer to use that gun to snipe or peek-a-boo using your good reverse speed as your main defence in close quarters. That's why I feel a rammer is pretty much pointless and would just be a waste of a slot. As far as stabilization is concerned, normally I'd use a slot to improve it on almost any med. Again, considering that this tank will most frequently snipe or shoot from mid distance plus the fact that it has a very good combo of base dispersion values aiming time and accuracy, vertical stabilizer is another equipment piece I avoided using. Vents are often useful on a variety of tanks with different roles (as long as they are available), but only when you have nothing better to use and I feel like this tank needs first and formost things that would improve its sniping capability the most, while reducing the chance of getting annihilated too quickly. So, all things considered, I chose to bet on making it a "somewhat nimble and sneaky sniper" hence my main setup, as follows-> Forward speed on this tank is not bad but not that good either, while reverse speed is very good and a turbo improves both of them meaningfully, although not radically, so that's the preferential slot for me. Reverse speed boost in particular is especially important, as I will explain a bit more below. Secondly, since the tank has a bit mediocre base viewrange, especially for a paper tank (380 m), optics are a must as I see it (vents, pudding, crew training can't entirely compensate for it, imho). Finally, since base camo values aren't great, yet not absolutely terrible I chose to put an low noise exhaust in the third slot (again, no amount of crew training, vents or pudding will improve its camo values to a similar level). Plus, when it comes to field mods, one mod in particular that is relevant to my setup is of course the "anti-reflective coating", which provides an additional 3% camo boost, while trading away 2 km/h reverse speed. Considering the turbo added 3 km/h to the base reverse speed, you are still left with +1 km/h reverse compared to base value, and a fantastic reverse of 31 km/h. All the more importance to using the turbo (and putting it into the preferential slot, or else, using bounty or bonded one).

I've been saving my commander QB for this line

Hopefully they will make them new and different instead of just bad tanks without the tracks.

Just asking, could you possibly review the premium French light tank that is in the event?

What is the DPM ? In the video it's shown as 1770 but on tanks GG it now shows 1808, not a big difference but every little helps.

Nice that WG made a balanced tank.

Maybe if it had lots better starting speed from the wheels. So it could get up to speed much faster than other tanks. This would allow poking in and out of cover better and would be unique.

Bet that the next wheel mt will be Italian. The centaro 105

It was told in the roadmap video 3 months ago that the british wheeled mediums won't have two speed modes.

W video @quickybaby Do you think you could possibly make a video about the Maneuvers shop in the event store? There are 6 T10 vehicles for sale, and they cost Personal Fame Points to purchase. I would absolutely love to get my hands on at least one. :)

Thank God I'm awake for this

If Tree counterparts are at least on par with this, I'm gonna like it. Balanced, looks cool, I like it.

Power to weight is experssed in horse power per tone ;). Great video as always.

HEY QB is finally on 2k and 4k footage on youtube!

The speed and accuracy should make this a fun tank to play.

Thanks QB knowing it's flaws is handy and it looks like this is gonna be one of very very few times I will buy a prem tank

i love this thing :) i was always play TD or Art. but now i play this tank and i really enjoy it :) But what you can recm for spotting ? i know light tanks but i am new in that kinda thing and not (now) good average light tank driver

"British AMX-10RC isn't real, it can't hurt you." *British AMX-10RC:*

A balanced wheeled vehicle? Thats crazy

Any idea when we can get the bloody thing?!

My beloved Cobra always happy for a new "paper tank" on the battlefield

I would love to see a wheeled TD line with high alpha and low DPM and gun handling, it would hopefully have a siege mode making it completely stationary to gain good gun handling and DPM I was having fun shredding the GSOR with my KP 07 with its 320 alpha HE rounds every 3.75 seconds, with comparable mobility and better armor.

For some reason I chuckles everytime QB says ten - ten

Does Will like the EBRs? Am I hearing this correctly?

can you do a video on how to get the extra tokens on the battle pass collector books because i seem not to be able to get them even when i finished the battle pass

experimental turbo is a must.

Fast glass cannon? Take binoculars over optics, and stay away from the front line. Shell velocity will be an issue, but it might work at middle distance of you use the speed to get to a decent spot.

Its a nice tank to play, good mobility and a great gun. Also not overpowered, this is what premiums should be

I don't know QB. Your speed looks consistent and that's what the British are! I do wish wheels were better but I might get it! I can't treat this tank as my scout for Britain

Question, I might be dumb and might've missed it in the video but, how we getting this vehicle? I've heard a rumors in-game among some players that they'll put it into the loot boxes of holiday ops or a loot box for some earlier type event or we that we'll have a grind event for it if you guys remember the last one for the A. P. AMX 30.

Dont blame the skorp for being annoyed, you stopped him backing into cover at least twice.

The Matilda Commander also is a radio operator

Just watching this makes me feel like it would be a decent "long range" support medium. Sort of an Easy 8 but at tier 8. I would opt to pump up the view range to the max and go for gun handling so you can play that support/make-shift sniper role. I play on console and feels like it would play similarly to the Trinity MK II but with a much better gun and speed. It's a "Mercenary" tank, they essentially combine a lot of the tanks and combine them together. The Trinity MK II is the T26E4 turret, with the T-44-100 tracks, and the 8,8 46 L 100 from the E-50 all in one tank with other spaced armor. Super HARD tank to play in a stealth role, but it plays long range support very well. Decent Turret vs lower tier tanks with a average gun. Very fast velocity, AP with APCR for gold ammo. 223 standard pen with 261 premium pen and 280 alpha. The GSOR 1010 would be just a faster and harder hitting version of the Trinity MK II

I think they should just offer the option to swap the wheels for tracks .

does it have the same plot armor invulnerable tires?

now we await the AMX 10RC

I don't sleep, I need content

Looks lime a great balanced tank to me so far

Fun story, the gsor 1010 used to be the gsor 20 until a trash barn split it in half

hopefully the tech tree tanks have the same crew loadout when they come out.. Kinda of odd it seems to turn in place like a tracked tank

My 65 t grind is finally over!!

I would rather play a 122TM simply because of the shell cost. The standard shell from the GSOR 1010 costs 1200 credits for 360 damage while the 122TM standard shell costs 1065 credits for 400 damage with better shell velocity. And the 122TM has armor as well.

I think the 3 crew skill overloaded commander is just to make you sync with the hitherto unmasked crew of the new British line: simply put- it's obligating you to train up a new crew across thr new line. That's all

Considering the Bourrasque, this tank is a nice Tier 7 Premium.

QB switch your Vents and Rammer. Thought it's not a perfect match the crew can slide into the Matilda LVT. It can help

I swear if autocannons get added into normal gameplay, we are going to get IVFs. And nothing wrong with that, but balancing them would be an issue, especially considering that the constant damaging effect would be like a flashbang, and the fact that most maps are ranged

With all the upcoming Nerfs this one should fit right in and be playable enough to enjoy, though it's not going to be the super scout folks would want it to be.

I will love to see you in a tier 10 battle

Can this be used in a similar way as a light tank would play?

Man my tank have only 531 camo instead of your 588 ...i mean i have normal vent on first slot so the difference is to big.they changed it or i missed something ?

This isn't a "tank" review, quickybaby! It's an armored car review.

Drink every time QB says "tenten", you're dead at the end of the video xD

I think the commander skills are the deciding issue. Is this way of WG trying to see crew books? I could see shooting a lot of blind shots if it's hiding in the distance, knowing just a hit will change most players in a 1200 hp tank. A KV2 will devastate it, and Kpz 07 RH will have fun launching HE too, if i see people making it a force, then in 6 months perhaps i will reconsider. Thanks for the Tip on the trees.

Wot should buff the reverse to 40, increase the traverse speed, give it hesh, and the reload to like 8-7 seconds.

Seams a decent vehicle that not overpowered by any means. The dealbreaker for me is the camo and view range. If those two were better than I’d probably buy it, but I don’t think I will considering that.

It’s simple, make a commander a radio operator as well and you have to spend gold to retrain him. The more gold you spend the more you may have to buy. If it weren’t a money racket, then changing crew skills would be easy.

Imagine this coming into the game in 2016

Beside the camo, it looks like a tier 8 leo 1. I think it will be fun. Good gun, gundep and really good mobility. Everything we need.

i would love if it could retreive two wheels and go faster like an EBR

I have a question. Why does supertest on EU server don't work ?

In my opinion,,the smv cc is the best tank tier for tier

Where does the new tech tree start? Which tank do I need to grind free Xp on?

If that's considered a premium, how bad will the tech tree variants be?

if this tank was in war thunder we could call it OP, cuz no armor best armor (cuz shots fly right through you and deal no damage cuz over-penetration) and also has a 105mm gun. but in wot? yeah... i guess... average is a good classification for it. i might hop back into the game to see what the tech tree version of these vehicles are worth, but i dont have any special hopes about these things. and look, being average aint all that bad. the nail that sticks out usually gets the hammer first. but i can totally see arta tunnel vision'ing the hell out of anyone driving these.

I just got ace this tank and this is like Leo 1 but wheeled, Bad thing about this tank is Bad view range Camo If you get hit on wheel you gonna slow really slow But overall fun to play with this tank

YES! Can’t wait to buy this tank and grind down this line!

how the heck can you turn left or right while still in a wheeled vehicule ??????

if you put vents in the scouting slot instead of a rammer u will get better stats

I love the design of this tank, I don’t know why
