World of Tanks || Before it was Nerfed - FV215b (183) 

Karstas in LIthuanian language means Coffin :)

Terrible? nope

Karštas its mean hot and it's a lithuanian

He still playing he have 57k games with t34 most played and he is a beast !!!

Hey QB. Nice Video, I gave up on the Fv215b 183 grind. Thursday night was a great night for me. I have dusted off my tier 7 Scorpion and under 1 hour I got 3 ace with it. One was almost 1500 base XP. I think WG will have the M56 Scorpion in the calendar. 2,6 k damage, 2,9 k assist in a tier 8 battle. If you need a link to it just ping me and i will post it here. Uploaded to Wotreplays with your name also.

oh booi was that OP, super frontal armour, could one shot a lot of same tier tanks, and was fast as hell :D

That was my favorite tank to play on province

Fine tank to duel other T18's with, compare your standing when not acting like the most mobile howitzer in your tier. Was fun while it lasted.

T-18 is now a tier 3 artillery piece

Back in the good old days

ERROR ERROR well, pretty much any modern tank armor counters any kind of shaped charge ammunition. Still effective at shooting cars and gun trucks in some 3rd world country engagements.

HESH (High-Explosive Squash Head) isn't shaped-charge. You're thinking of HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank).

No, I am thinking of HESH, not HEAT. Those funnel very hot gasses into the armor of a tank, they do not shake of the inner armor into the fighting compartment.

"HESH rounds are thin metal shells filled with plastic explosive and a delayed-action base fuze. The plastic explosive is "squashed" against the surface of the target on impact and spreads out to form a disc or "pat" of explosive. The base fuze detonates the explosive milliseconds later, creating a shock wave that, owing to its large surface area and direct contact with the target, is transmitted through the material. In the case of the metal armour of a tank, the compression shock wave is conducted through the armour to the point where it reaches the metal/air interface (the hollow crew compartment), where some of the energy is reflected as a tension wave. At the point where the compression and tension waves intersect, a high-stress zone is created in the metal, causing pieces of steel to be projected off the interior wall at high velocity. This fragmentation by blast wave is known as spalling, with the fragments themselves known as spall. The spall travels through the interior of the vehicle at high velocity, killing or injuring the crew, damaging equipment, and/or igniting ammunition and fuel. Unlike high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, which are shaped charge ammunition, HESH shells are not specifically designed to perforate the armour of main battle tanks. HESH shells rely instead on the transmission of the shock wave through the solid steel armour." Wikipedia, HESH

John DeRouen shaped charge is a charge shaped to focus the effect of the explosive energy. So yeah, ya know.

MaxFive true

Ikr

Me too . Literally the same maps all the time.

hell they get rid of maps because of camping or bad choke point well guess what all maps have camping spots and or choke points BRING THEM BACK

MaxFive after the current maps are changed to HD, new maps will be added

Hot coffins?

No not Hot coffins xD Just Coffin or Hot. idk

Karsts is Latvian means "hot"

Stalker556 you his friend? :D

Nope im a Stalker. i Stalked his Account)))

what about 2020?

Federico Stella what about June of 2020

Who doesn't miss the old garage

idunbeezasmart1 well i dont miss that map but almost all of them that was removed

i miss Dragon Ridge

That map was cancer but Pearl River on the other-hand will forever be missed. RIP

I miss province the first map I ever played ;(

nah Pearl River was shit as well. That was truly a corridor map because there was hardly any crossfire opportunities between the middle, right & left flanks.

Paulius baltrusaitis so true

Paulius baltrusaitis is it only me or did you bounce S conquer lower plate? OR maybe I did not hit the right place

Nah man, super conqueror is completely balanced coz it has the best firepower of all heavy tanks while being invincible when hulldown and is allowed to sidescrape better than another tier 10 that has the turret at the back called the FV215b. Both are tier 10 and is definitely fair for a 215b to fight the super conqueror

the gaming pizaa lower plate seems bigger than it really is coz the spaced armour on the upper plate adds an extra layer of armour to lower plate, but since that's spaced armor you'll bounce and it makes you feel bylat man totally understand that feeling

Or Badger before it was nerfed, lol

HerraJemma Thats why i use Gnomefather’s historical gun sounds mod now

I know. The high caliber guns actually did sound powerful. Now they sound like a 90mm.

They should bring back the gun sounds from around patch 0.7.5 and make them caliber specific.

There *must* be a mod out there that has these gun sounds...

same.... the 122mm gun sounded so gooood

Михаил Серафимов How many german tanks were played back then, now it's only russian bias.

Михаил Серафимов I once played a game and 8 tanks on the enemy team were some variation of the Tiger I

noscoper1993, lol stop whining, murazor overbuffed your precious German tanks several patches ago.

8

noscoper1993 oh fuck off, fucking whiner

Are you dumb

big calibers did indeed sound more powerful before. No idea why they decided to "dumb" down the sounds there.

Jan Akermann 100% me

Dezgamez have showed this replay

Had the same feeling after 1 minute of gameplay, that I've seen it before.

yeah same here. dez games was still learning basic english back then

Jingles used it a looong time ago.

i agree 100% for as much as the rounds cost the tank should never miss. it should be put back to how it originally was! nothing annoys me more then watching meds our shots in exactly where they are aiming running along 50kph and my fully aimed in shot, not moving, and they are not moving shoots outside the reticle.

I never played on it, but I would probably enjoy playing on it, if they bring it back as an HD map.

XD

P_E he's done that

I mean, it was historically more of an spg than a tank, though.
