When World of Tanks is TOO TENSE! 

That last shot was pretty impressive.

This is what an earned doctorate in WOT game mechanics looks like.

I was playing in the Caliban. I thought my platoonmate would drive the other way around the rock to win the game. gg QB

that happens so often.. you leave your position and at the same time, the enemy comes around the corner.

This match really showed me how missed a single shell can seriously change the game. Because if the caliban died that French tank would have most likely been able to hold until QB and the jagdtiger arrived. Making it a possible 3v1 against the borsig after dealing with the 50tp (I’m not sure what tank the French one was, I was not paying attention but it looked French to me)

11:25 The Jagdtiger was a Czech player, and you predicted what he was saying correctly

I am actually surprised that QB took the hit from that AFK TD at the start. There's a good second or two when you can see him "wake up" and start moving his gun around that QB could have pulled back.

Honestly, designated target is such a slept on skill. Extra 2 seconds on a target is such a crucial extra information. You could predict if the enemy would fallback or stay with that 2 second window. It's just that like the old intuition, you either don't notice or just other skills are just better. Same goes for eagle eye actually, but for a different reason being super situational. Knowing the enemy has a broken ammorack for example makes pushes easier. I don't like the crew rework, but I want a crew overhaul like equipment 2.0. Just merge these 2 skills together as one skill and it's at least going to be more useful and popular. Knowing your enemy is key after all.

Designated Target is so powerful, but almost everyone sleeps on it. I've caught people so many times because I can see them starting to come out of cover when they think they've gone unspotted.

7:30 As a side note, there are actually certain advantages to using the stock turret on the AMX 65t. Sure, you have 100 less HP, 100 less DPM, 20m less view range and worse aim time with the stock turret. However, you can still use the competitive 100 mm gun without losses to the dispersion values, have 10 degrees of gun depression (2 more than the top turret), and the single cupola weakpoint is much smaller than the many large weakpoints on the top turret.

That last shot, Skill, that was beautiful work, that's what really comes after years of playing. Thanks for going in the deep dive. Really appreciated it

I had a boss whose brain was too tense - yeah, "too tense" the size of a normal brain. We would joke that he gave us the "seagull treatment." He'd swoop in, squawk without meaning, crap on people, then swoop out.

0:54 For those that want a little more detailed information on this: A total of around 333 examples of both stock T-55s and updated T-55As (T-55As being modified to be able to fight/survive in a nuclear zone or irradiated area) were ordered from Poland by the East German government from 1965 to 1973. And were donated to the Bundeswehr post-German unification. However by 1991 the T-55 platform was definitely showing it's age in both firepower and protection so the remaining T-55s were probably either scrapped, sold off to somewhere else, or donated to museums and private collections.

When I started playing WoT, I had to rely on armor to play. I simply couldn't play medium tanks like the T-34 (which I was excited about getting because of the dpm) because I didn't have the skill. Not long afterward, I found QB's video about the P26/40 and P43. The P26/40 quickly became one of my favorite tanks, with that gun that rips apart opponents with the crazy HE dpm. Skip skip skip and not long ago, I decided to brush off the dust on my T-34 and play it. This time, I performed much better, enjoyed it more, and I'm hoping to get my mark of excellence in it. I guess the P26/40, being a medium tank and all, trained me to play medium tanks. Thanks QB for that video.

The potential removal of designated target gameplay is symptomatic of the game in general trending towards just being a shooter. It seems to have been going on for many years. I miss light tank and spotting gameplay, which is largely removed by excessive view ranges on every tank.

Thank you for explaining designated target. I really dint know how it worked. Great video

loved the deep dive commentary, it is always so informative and enlightening to see and hear explanations of high level decision making and knowledge of mechanics to outplay the opponents, 10/10 keep it up

First one again! 9 years strong thanks for the content quicky baby!!

ive got a feeling that the Mr "Designated Target" is gonna follow the success story of his friend "Intuition" of having stayed quiet for so many years and then suddenly become a popular guest of the channel 😄😄😄

Can’t explain how much I appreciate these videos! ❤️

Really enjoyed this one. I have really learned a lot by watching your videos. I am 55 years old and served in the USMC and I learn from watching these videos...Loved Brother keep up the good work!!

Well-played and well-explained. Thanks for sharing.

Love the T55a. Main downsides are the low pen on the base round and the lack of gun depression. Everything else is right on point.

What a beautiful shot at the end

Dude that was so awesome and that's why I love watching your videos thank you

That plan against the caliban and 50-TP was great just planing ahead and projecting how long they were to take just didn’t give them enough time.

I always wondered how to use designated Target thank you

What a wild play at the end incredibly high skill

Have designated target on all of my TDs. Always annoying to see the enemy disappear the moment my gun finishes reloading :\

Good one, Cheers QB!

the last shot was epic dude...that was the different between i unicom and a great player...all hill to Quickybabe

you were actually able to translate czech totally fine...

I once used 6th sense to tell when an M10RBFM is in a bush (no one else could spot me). I blind hit it twice :)

I am not a fan of pushing slower tanks for just the reason you alluded to. Often when I was playing my T95 people would push me and I always asked them to stop because it was stopping them getting into position quickly.

Conq: "shit team". Most people who say this are fairly inexperienced at the game and/or bad.

In RL the T-55 has a NBC system and a turret basket, neither of which were part of the T-54. Of course none of that applies in WoT fantasy world.

The major difference between the T54 and T55 is the T55 has a CBR system. For those who are unsure, CBR stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological.

A scenerio like that is exactly where the new outline mechanic is going to ruin any sense of experience. Both with feathering, but also through bushes where there is cover on the other side that can not be seen, but you know is there based on experience or the feathering you do in the engagement. Even though I will probably also get higher dmg games overall with the mechanic, I truly hope it will not come into the game, or at least WG will take it out if it proves to be not good for the playstyle.

Damn, good job on the borsig

great plays qb!

love the deep dive..love the SKILL....hate the new patch outline thing

Fantastic skill

We NEED more map tactics and deep dive vids QB!!! So nice to watch! GG

Your the man well done for your Tips cheers QB

beautiful game!

I actually thought Quacky was going to die there.

Oh the T54/55 is one of the most made tanks of all time. Like tens of thousands were made. Side note, the base design is of Ukranian origin in the Kharkiv design bureau. They still litter the world in various stages of upgrades.

Awesome play

I don’t even play world of tanks but I still love the videos and quickly baby as a person . Keep it up your a great guy. Still waiting on a wot blitz video xD

I had the t-55 a on blitz and it dosnt disappoint its just as good

Seems like Type 59 on IX to me. Awesome game!

This is epic.

The T-55A was used by basically all of the Warsaw Pact.

Bro if I pulled the last shot like that, I am uninstalling WoT because I essentially unstoppable.

QB , with Current WOT rules , if you see 2 different tier vehicles as a platoon , that is in game platoon , you don't need to check your team has similar platoon or not .( that is wrong way to check unless that platoon is a same tier platoon)

Really liked this game, also the deep dive hehe

What a end play

History wise, T-55 was very similar tank to T-54 and there was a possibility for countries that already had a T-54 to upgrade their T-54s to T-55s but its was to expensive as the price to upgrade from T-54 to T-55 was like 80% of the T-55 price. Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia had about 1600 T-55 and T-55A tanks. Some of them are made in SSSR and bunch of them came from Warsaw Pact nations like Czechoslovakia. P.S. Great video, I watched the live stream when this game happened :D

Hey qb first of all love the vids and keep going and second of all i have a video idea: you could do a video where you look at world of tanks blitz and world of tanks console and world of tanks pc and compare them all and let us know what your thoughts about all the games is

If only we had a word for too tense.. Oh yeah... INTENSE! 😂

great vid qb

Very energetic welcome today

this kinda deep dive, explain-ish stuff is great. We could use some more

Awesome..

Loving the Conqueror commenting "Shit Team"... Not sure I'd start with that statement when you've got QB on your team 😂

Really want to see QB’s opinion on the SU-152 Taran.

355 mm 355m 390 meters Jesus Hahah that was funny. Love you QB

Pro gamer move

This medium looks extremely powerfull

Masterclass

On console WG changed the 5 degree gun depr gun and it now gets the same pen as the obj 140 at tier 9

Want the T55A

Nice game. The designated target skill is one of those skills that comes into play very seldom just like in this game. Most of my crews are maxed out on skill except the commander at times. Seems like on most tanks the commander has double the skills compared to the others. That radio operator is awol.

Most players would have just sidescraped against the borsig and overmached it anywhere but that would leave a very small chance that the borsig would have found a shot on their turret. QB doesn't like to leave anything up to luck. GG

QB's brain wants a Monster Energy drink. 🤣

I appretiate - you did PG role!

Good match tho I wonder if he will feature the Vk 30.01p

Very good accuracy! Misses 5 shots.

In that good Jagdtiger is Czech player. Nice to see in QuckyBaby gamplay.😃

Talking about how the gun is better and then immediately misses the shot in the replay.

T55s are still in use some places in the world somehow.

which equipement and field mode you use? nice gameplay

In wotb the t55a rlly struggles

16:27 "I wouldn't usually say this.." Well, whats the big occasions then ?

World of Tense

Changing ammo types during battle is kind of intuitive, isn't it.

lol u could have seen the obj move his gun and realised he wasn't afk, plenty time to reverse imo but what can I say, great game anyway

1) In reality, the T-55A was somewhat stabilized 2) In WoT, they included the 1947 model of the T-54 (an early version). It was the only version to have 120mm of UFP armor. The later models: '49, '51 etc. had 100mm of armor as well. The T-55A is a NBC and stab evolution of the T-54, therefore it uses the later versions' UFP.

I can be toxik sometimes but that Conq was as mad as when you write a F on a flicking math test!

Christ why can't I get enemies like this, that IS-6B was another breed of idiot.

gg superb play.

You should dedicate a video to designated target. I'm still clueless how this works

wigwam or teepee? ...I'll get my coat

I went to the doctor and told him I had a dream that I was a teepee one night and a 3 man dome another night. He said the problem is obvious, I'm two tents.

thats nice, but u had the shot when you succesfully feathered the guy anyways

5:33 Quickybaby messes up!

I would love a small historical part, like 10 sec at the beginning of the vid were you’ll just set the historical context of the tank

11:21 Its czech @QuickyBaby and means "I´m". ;)

Even playing a tank like this, having a great game and clutching out, you still lose 20k credits? How? It’s so stupid

Poor Jadtiger
