The problem isn’t that the type 71 is bad, its the entire tier 10 balance as whole. The tank as you said shouldn’t be this bad but being jack of everything doesn’t cut it anymore and WG think having ok-ish armor for mechanic that need you to sit still is just stupid.
ese el problema que los creadores hacen el mayor tipo de errores y no quieren reparar lo que hacen mal que es mucho es como comparar al vz al bz al udes 15 16 y el stb 1 y dime acaso el type 71 puede ser igual o mejor que ellos simplemente no
Guys! Sou see that protective armor wrapped around the tier 7 Ju-To? That was usually there to allow it to withstand the hits from anti-tank rifles. You know, like the Soviet 14.5 mm PTRS-41 capable of piercing some 40 mm armor plates. If the turret needs this then you know how shit the armor underneath must be.
It might be there to protect form HEAT. Sure, the thing on the PZ4 was meant to stop the Soviet AT rifles, but they quickly realised that it also is effective against said round. In the hypothetical scenario the Germans told the Japanese and the Japanese put it on their tank for this purpuse.
@@Diedwhilemakingwaffles The plate is way too close to the main armor to be effective in this case. EDIT: it also worked against ballistic capped ammo which is the reason German panzers had these plates over their frontal plates, but it still had them over a plate that was found to be way too thin.
fun fact: i had my "Max Blocked In a Game" Record with the Type 71 for nearly 4 months. it was 7k+. then i got back the Type 5 Heavy for the memes, and got a 7k damage game with 13k damage bounced.
22:09 the balance department must have tajen note from WoTB, because when it was first released, it was one if the OP'iest Heavy Tank combining thick (like thick, 178mm thick, so effective of 290-310mm) upper plate, a 40kph top speed (and i think 20kph reverse), good gun habdling, and great traverse (espcially that one improved traction equipment gimmick). And so in WoT, its upper plate is utter dogshiet. It was so OP it was used on blitz Tournanents alot. And i somehow hold the record for the All time record most Damage done (8.8K) still to rhis day because of how OP it was.
to put into words how horribly op it was it had mobility of a bit slower medium gun of en e5 armor of maus with normal dimensions wierd track wheel that had more armor than other part of the side and 9 degrees of gun depresion wich were/are (idk if they fixed it) bugged so you couldnt even know if the enemy was using extra mobility or extra gun depresion
in fact allegedly wg only nerfed it cause pro players didnt want to play wich would then threaten wg by not getting money from sponsors for tournaments if its true or not idk
I just back to the game and just realise this. That explain why the tank go slower even with suspension equipment. It sad out of everything they have to nerf the speed, now it just your average heavies with MBT looking.
PC type-71 line, unlike the mobile one is quite bad, since there's not much redeeming factor outside of the double aim mechanic. The upper front hull only have 120mm nominal thickness, which at angle at flat ground only have ~240mm of armor, which means essentially every T10 heavy can easily pen the entirety of the hull front without as much as breaking a sweat, and it really limits how far they can tank things. The hull is closer to a light/medium rather than a heavy due inadequate armor. Only the turret is the redeeming factor. However meanwhile, in the mobile version, the type 71 line is very much enjoyable, due to having great mobility and actual heavy armor that is quite impervious. The upper front plate have 171mm nominal thickness, which means only TD with premium round can actually pen the upper plate at flat ground. And that level of absurd armor combined with angling, and exclusive suspension equipment (decrease ground resistance) allows the type 71 in mobile to have extreme mobility to wiggle and bounce shots to the weakspots around the hull. Yes, the mobile version don't have any of the double aim nor the siege mode mechanic, and it has mediocre pen, dispersion and reload, however it totally makes up for it with the armor. The PC however, is literal butter there. 3 months on tier 9 and 10, and I've only saw one in all the battles I fought.
Actually now you can pen the upper plate easily with most heavies in flat ground, some TD will even pen it with regular round. It's not as broken as used to be in WoTB but redeemed by it's lolpen shell which is an AP+. I played it back when it can shake its way out of combat, very Juicy.
@@nikonikoni1820 yeah, next month patch really rebalances the mobility by quite a lot, reducing their god medium-like mobility to just a quite fast heavy. I think it got slightly nerf too after the equipment rebalance, since it reduce the enhanced armor equipment, while calib shell got good increase, however even then you need a calib equipped TD to actually pen it with regular rounds, and since most players rarely use premium round outside of necessity, it's still a solid UFP for majority of part, tho the gun handling is still left much to be desired imho
@@danieltanusetiaji8931 i can see that, but the tank itself work fine as it is, WG did justice to the type 71, while not as unique as it used to be, I really enjoyed it, a tank that can vertically make the enemy armour suggestions is something I never thought about outside of autoloader. Type 71 AP+ does just that.
@@nikonikoni1820 Yeah, even before the rebalance patch, the biggest issue with type 71 is it's very prone to being encircled by quick medium, happened to me about twice for that. It has annoying sides, sure, but that's what flanking is used for imho
In blitz the type 71 upper plate is impenetrable to most standard ammo ht, mt, lt and the side armor and turret has good armor except for the cupola and turrent close to mantlet
Turret ring, The side shoulder, the cupola and the turret cheek is the weakness when fighting the type. Back when it's so mobile, it's very broken because no matter your skill, your aim will be messed up with the wiggling.
I’ve just stumbled on this channel recently and this is the best WoT content out there. I laugh all through the beginning and learn so much at the end when you break down the line
ill die on the hill that the type 57 is actually great, the gun depression is INSANE (and not even dumb fake suspension depression, its all normal) with the turret armor, and with the aim mechanic you can snipe cupolas easier than most heavies you meet its the only good thing in the whole line
I fucking struggled hard in the Type 57 tier 8. I thought it would be great too, but the gun was just a let down. The tier 9 I actually loved and have maintained a 65% win rate with.
Indeed, Type 57 gameplay in a nutshell: hide lower plate, be careful with cupola and watch these folks bounce. I just love it, and for those that keeps waiting for the MACHANIC, they are just dumb imo, there are fell moments that I rlly need to use the mechanic, I can just shoot like a normal tank.
Funny that in Blitz this line was a complete menace when they released it, and after the nerf you can barely see any of these tanks in a battle. Also interesting that Blitz released this line before WoT did, since most of the time it is the other way around
To be fair... Chieftain is also a MBT and it's a Heavy...concept 1B is also a MBT andd it is a heavy..Chieftain/T95 is also a MBT butt it's a heavy, so i don't see how is this a mislabeled, it's just WG being WG that's that
The alpha for the aim time, gun handling and reload is poor. I mean, tanks like Vz.55, 5A, AMX M4, 277, IS-7, etc etc... can hit for +500 without trashing that much the gun handling or aim. And 400 HP alpha single shot guns at the tier are godlike (S.Conq, T110E5). Also your mobility on general is too poor for the size and armour. You got 2 mechanics at the cost of suck on every other aspect. In his current state i up the speed to 40km/h, give it a bit better soft stats and 420 to 460 alpha.
Yeah, the new Japanese heavies are just heavier versions of the Japanese medium tanks. Which isn't bad, it means that they liked the Mediums enough to make them bigger.
I'm currently learning Swedish, and enjoyed the video from 5 years ago where you were speaking in your native language. Looking for another clip from you guys in Swedish.
Honestly considering it came from WOT Blitz, it’s seems so ironic regarding how it fairs in WOT PC. In WOT Blitz, it was kinda broken and even after the nerf it got, it’s still a decent tank. Seeing how WOT PC’s version of the Type 71 and the additional mechanics it gets, yet it still is terrible is baffling.
Man I love , how Edvin complaining , how this Japanes tanks have no armor , like 99% of him being pen , was just gold , and gold in WoT is Overpower as fuck XD
Make the thick baguette line AMX M4 i got the big gun on the tier 9 week ago I can feet it staying in my garage with AEG camo on it. Want to see how you ram with this line
Would rather play the medium than the heavy. Not hindered by the aim mechanic, smaller hitbox and camo, still has the siege mode and faster. Also if I remember correctly irl the tier 10 heavy is just a bigger version of the medium.
Every time anything happens to a valiant I can hear zwhatsh say “valiant effort” He said that a lot in the tank review and I just can’t not think of it lol
American heavy, with the GLORIOUS, WELL ARMOURED AND RELIABLE M103! Or a platoon of justice with stock m103, that would be...bad for you i guess but i would enjoy. Anyway you're great
This video is peak AEG gameplay: playing mediocre tanks with frustrating qualities that make Edvan rage and scream. 10 cucumbers out of 10, looking forward to more of this quality content.
Aim mechanic is OP ... yet still falls far short of the TRACK mechanic!! Hilarious drop as always. Thanks for your hard work. You should probably ban that GemStateJim guy, though.
Aw man I was expecting the Japanese Super Heavy experience what a disappointment But I will be amazed if someone actually played the O-HO with the 149.1mm derp gun with AP to do an overmatched challenge Which I've done it all the time >l:)
You should try these tanks on WoTBlitz. They are completely different, and are actually *HEAVY* tanks, especially the tier X. (The tier VIII on pc is a premium on Blitz)
I remember getting Lootbox Type 63 and i was actually excited that out of 11 boxes i get i got a tank And then tank itself is more unplayable than the IS3
Love how on WoT Blitz, when this tank came out it was so broken, it could do everything perfectly, having very few weaknesses if any. Even after being nerfed, it's still a solid heavy. Meanwhile in PC, it's hot garbage it seems, cuz the game has zero balancing and more gold spam than anything else.
I've tried to make type 71 work quite a lot, but the tier 9 is simply better. Type 68 have a upper-plate that can bounce when hull-down, type 71 doesn't And type 71's cupola is twice as huge as type 68, which both are hull-down tanks Also the gun is equally horrible for me. it's actually pretty accurate when cooldowned, but when it's not, it's a soviet gun. One time I was in my type 71 aiming at a afk 50tp 400m away, I miss 4 non-cooldown shots into lower-plate in a row, all of them went to the hole between lower-plate and the ground. The next shot I pen the lower-plate, cuz I was mad enough to aim at upper-plate So yeah, type 71 is hot garbage imo too, the only reason I keep it is I have dez commander on it
The mechanic wouldn't be so bad if the base accuracy wasnt russian i mean .4 at T8 with what 320-360? And then you wait for an eternity to get a godlike .28 which btw the Tiger 2 can get without an aim mechanic and its the same for the Type 71 except that has no armor for a T10 HEAVY
its funny how in World of tanks blitz this tank is absolutely busted with gold absorbing armor and good "mechanic" where you can pick between 2 more degrees of gun depression or improved mobility, and in this game its just trash. since this line was first in blitz im guessing that here they wanted to avoid making it an OP tank to not repeat what blitz did.
19:13 I remember being live when that happened, this tank was so painful to watch (and it’s probably the reason why it constantly gets voted on QB’s streams)
man, seeing you two have some fun dispite all the bs and rng shafting really makes me sad i never got my friends to stick to the game. They gave up at tier 3 or 4 before any fun begun, so i never had the luxury to coordinate or have fun talk with the game as boring backdrop.
I am a Japanese tanker. My country's heavy tank (Type 5) is devastatingly weak in this game, so I bought a new heavy tank and equipped it with the best expansion parts, but I regret it. You should not buy the Type 71. It's crap.
@@hellisia-celeste-evangelin8925There were rumors that the hull was built and sunk into a certain lake in Japan, but there is zero evidence to support it. The best Japanese tank that saw a lot of combat was the Ho Ni I and Chi Ha Shinhoto.
@@quangminhnguyen3221 those were real pictures, however they were not from type4/5 specifically, they were simply japanese bunker turrets made for their artillery guns. WG looked at the pictures and used them as refs for the type
Thought the tier 8 would be good with the true 12° of depression. But God damn I just could not get it to work. The gun handling was just awful. The tier 9 clicked for me. Been maintaining a 65% win rate with it and have all the field mods unlocked. The tier 10 I have unlocked and have no intentions on wasting credits buying.
Type 71 or general the series is extremely weak aginst premium ammo. and in pc everyone is just spamming premium ammo, that‘s why the type 71 doesn’t work in WoT
Love you tech treee experience videos! The are my favorite type of content🥒😁 For the next time i suggest that you play the italien TDs Greetings from Germany🇩🇪
