Reason to buy Foch 155: Hilarious when you actually pen the enemy and do it 3 times. Reason to not buy it: The odds of penning more than 1 time is astronomical.

Best light tanks for bonds is Alpine Tiger +300 gold for the EVEN 90 during a trade in event.

Fun fact: Chrysler K GF have stronger and better armor layout than FV215b

Something to add on the M 41 90 is that the power to weight ratio is quite poor compared to most other tier 8 LTs, being more akin to the even 90's power to weight ratio. This means that it can't reach its incredibly high top speed and is one of the few LTs where I take the horsepower field mod over top speed. This also means that its slow to reach early game positions, usually arriving at the same time as fast mediums, but later than most other lights. Finally, the poor acceleration (relatively speaking) combined with the large size of the vehicle means that getting spotted at a standstill is usually a death sentence. Great video, very informative.

The IS-2S is a modern tank! Those are drone protection grates 🙂

The other nice thing about the Patriot is that its standard rounds are dirt cheap. Good for the penny pinchers.

I used to have a rental on the IS6 when i was still green at the game. My computer crashed mid battle and by the time i got back i was still alive whit my back turned towards the oponents and had bounced 3k dmg. It was such a cool tank to play even if it didnt pen anything.

I love alpine tiger for its highest price for trade in event. I got elc even 90 for only 300 golds after trading alpine tiger for it.

i love the m41 90 gf, its capability in a pure spotting environment is quite lacking, but when it comes to acting as a suede medium that annihilates other lights, its great, especially in late game

Just got the M41 GF.. Didnt even know it was in the bond shop. Thanks max 👍

Super cool run down. Most useful and makes me realise mistakes I have made but at the same time some things I accidentally did right :) As I said on another post it is the normal round pen that makes a difference for my approach. I also find a reload of a long time something that is very unforgiving, especially as I don't know where to hit an enemy reliably in terms of knowing their armour layout. With the Patriot it is so fast you can try and then try somewhere else. I also find that you are less likely to be rushed if you have a fast reload no matter the DPM. It makes the enemy indecisive as to who wants to lose HP for the others to get a kill of you. Cheers as always. A.,

Max it's about time for new full tech tree overview. It's been a long time, a lot new tanks, a lot nerfs and buffs.

Great review. Thanks Max!

12:46 honestly Mutz is surprisingly good for Frontline because there are so many Borrasques, Progettos, Shptks, Su130s and Skorpions that drive around. That HE shell with good accuracy and velocity works well against them

The way you describe SU 100Y was so funny haha

I love the guard it’s so unique and it works most of the time I don’t always snipe with it as it can win trades with many same tier mediums as the alpha is so high and the armour also works quite decently if you know how to side scrape and wiggle in order to force the opponents to miss the weak point on the turret very good and would recommend.

with the Senlac, you forgot to mention that it also gets higher than average pen HE rounds at 90 penetration making it also decent at dealing with enemy light tanks

Nice video. Keep up the good work.

Good clear video as always

I limit myself to 20 bucks in lootboxes a year (every christmas), and i never got any tier 9 premiums. So when i saw the WZ-114, even knowing how bad it was, i said "welp, heck it". -Fire control sistem T2 -Stabilizers -Mobility impprovement T3 (If there is a tank that needs it, is this one) (no food, i play cheap AF) After all of that, its not the worst tank that i´ve played. You do have to make every shot count, and make sure you don´t get isolated, but you can have good games on it. With a few more skills and field mods, i´m sure i will recover those 11k bonds... eventually.

Thanks for this my G 👊

One thing to add about WZ 114 is that ithas 2.3k HP. It is basically higher than some tier X and as high as Mauschen, which is a much bigger and slower tank than you. With that and high alpha in mind you theoretically can just trade with most other tanks and win. Make sure you are not outnumbered and take your time to aim, and tank should be usable to some degree. Still not a recommended tank but people that hate tier VIII might want to consider this.

I got the Lorraine, it thought me how to be patient, be cool headed, think what is best to do next, and not be part of the tomato casuals lol

The T26E5 Patriot is still one of the better credit makers, cause it have 230 penetration with it's standard rounds and 1 round cost 250 credits. Thanks for the video, it helps a lot!

KV-5 is amazing for credit grinding! and fun to ramming stuff

Thanks Love your videos!

I don’t think you give the t34-3 enough credit. Gun depression can be an issue at times but it is such a well rounded tank with 390 alpha that can pressure tanks in even the worst matchups (tier 9)

Thanks Max!

Nice walkthrough MaxGamingFPS - liked it alot... I am a "tank collector" of sorts myself, so I have alot of premiums (I am affraid) - I also have the M60 wich is one of my favorites... I am not a good player at all. I just play for fun and now-and-then I get a good game ... Tnx again for a nice and informative video! -Regards from Klin Kokos (Norway) 🤪

kv 5 can reverse sidescrape quite well. the only weakspot is the turret flats

Well I got the 121b a while back and really like it, though the gun depression is kinda eh As of now, its a toss up between the M60, 268/5, or maybe the 252U....but I'd probably go with the M60 to be honest

Very good of you to do this before others

really like your channel. i think its great you try to keep your own opinion a bit more out of the video. not that your opinion is bad, but it does not count the same for all people. so realy nice you try it this way

T 103 tank for chads 🍷🗿

Ive got a couple pools in the 131 tiger, its fun to play

T-103 is my first tank for bonds. Best gun of all in terms of penetration (and i dont wanna use gold ammo)

su-100y, it has a 130mm gun. so it would be able to overmatch roof of bz-176?

Wz 114 and obj v5 are good tanks if u aim well, other ways are painful to play with them...

I've been saving bonds for Guard but suddenly changed my mind and got me that GermanBlackDog, Obj. 416 crew will do good anyway.

Thank you!

recently got the T-34-3, not because I think it's good just because I'm looking for a tank to put my ninja tortuga together🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢

FV215b was not told to be useless and worthless, my day I brightened

I got the KV-5 just to use in the Ice age events for ramming fun.

I think when it comes to the tier 8 prem LTs here, it's rather subjective, both are very similar as scouts, the differences are more about damage dealing potential and "style" if you wish. Personally, I prefer Senlac to the M41D. It is slightly better as a spotter due to a mariginally better camo at equal viewrange. Also, despite having lower base dpm, it has NICE and actually usable HE rounds (90 mm pen, 280 alpha), unlike the M41D (only 38 pen, 260 alpha, essentially useless rounds). Its gun also has a bit higher caliber (83,4mm vs 76mm) so in some situations, 2 caliber rule may apply (like vs 40mm thick armor plates, of which there are some in the game) plus its main rounds are AP compared to M41D's APCR, so they normalize better against angled armor (5deg vs 2deg). Finally, though not really that important, it even has a better gun depression at -10, while the Chinese light has -9.

None of them, buy purple equipment

Ive taken the Defender. Why ? Because I always wanted try it out. I also have almost all tier 8 Bond Tanks so no big deal for me. The tank is OK. Im kinda surprised how enemy tanks can pen your lower plate even at crazy angles.

correction about the is tanks there is a huge diffrence in their guns cuz is-2 has 250 heat pen wich at least for me easly makes it the best out of them all

Defender is considered OP because every village idiot can ride out in it and bounce some shells rather than eating them. Fully agreed on the gun. I have the tank and I don't play it, it's frustratingly unsnappy and derpy.

I wish I could put the Turret + Gun of the Chieftain Proto on the hull of the Chieftain/T95 and get a passable Chieftain expy at Tier VIII. XD

Obj 268/5 is my next pickup, I have everything else besides the BO (never getting that one btw)

Ok so first of all thx for this overview and updated comments. To not sound bit harsh, what is TLDR and ulitimative best tank for following : TIER 8 Overall bond/tier/performance ratio ? I think that answer will help A LOT to people who watched/listented to this video over and over because of just one thing, since the beginning of video when introducing new tank in line, you are mentioning there are better tanks, but actually you are making out all weak points first so we do not have impression why or how Guard is better choice instad of Loreinne. Please just give honest opinion which Tier 8 to get it and which tank is best bank for buck in overall tier selection ( since some tier X might be better then other tier VIII which I honestly doubt). Thx for reply in advance, I hope this comment wil help algorythm a bit ;)

Since i have 703, kv5,is2M i don't need kv4 or defender??

Thanks😉

Sadly I only have two of these tanks . . . The M10 RBFM I would rate as "terrific" (one category better than excellent). In mine I get an average team xp place of 3.7 (out of 15), average real xp earned (with the premium bonus) 741, average credits earned (ditto) 11,900. Its mobility could be better but it has an excellent main gun and concealment, and the armor is good enough to pull off a few surprise bounces (effectively increasing base health by 11%). On mine I run with binos/rotation/exhaust, the crew I put into it comes (mostly) from my S35 CA. With an average team xp place of 4.2 I rate the T-34 shielded as "excellent": essentially a T-34 with its 76mm gun and better armor. In my hands it's just as good as the T-34 with the 57mm gun; both are significantly better than the T-34 mounting the 76mm. The T-34S's 76mm is good with 120mm of pen, mobility and concealment are decent, and it has good armor: enough to effectively give the tank 26% more health. My average real xp earned in it is 593 (compared to 431 for the T-34-57) and average income is 7240 credits (compared to 12,600 for the T-34 w/57mm, surprisingly) -- this tank is better at crew training but worse at making money. I put on mine binos/vents/exhaust, its crew of course comes from my T-34 (and it's a perfect fit). (Win rate? The game is probably rigged, doesn't matter.) Both are fun tanks, and an excellent buy at only 1500 bonds each . . . especially the M10 RBFM. Max thanks for the excellent commentary, it will shape my next bond tank purchase.

i love my defender with bond Equipment. for me the gun is not bad.

reasonable analysis already bought m60 and 121b wonderfull tanks, got Stg guard also not a bad tank if you play sniper or support it will make credits.. i was saving 17k bonds for long time waiting for a new bond store tanks..i was almost making the biggest stupid choice when i was thinking to pick wz114 it's a piece of junk ..i hesitated to purchase the obj 268v5 bcs i don't see 'em more often in battles.. then i pick it and believe me guys it's a good tank if you don't play it as a heavy like almost everyone said..no it's not a heavy you don't have armor..play it second line,support and even sniper bcs you have majestic camo

What are finally the top 3 most worth it tank to buy ? i have a stack of bonds that i never use it

Cant believe they didnt buff Foch 155 along with Foch B line

Which LTs are better for gold than M41D?

in my opinion patriot is still the best one from bond store. Defender is decent too, su100y could be fun. And from the cheap end M10 is by far the best. Dont think there's much else worth buying. But if you have patriot then you already got awesome credit maker.

I have all the old tanks for bonds, my question is what of the new tanks is the best?

WZ 114 is trash but the reason some people may pick it up is because they are sick of having to play tier 8 to farm credits, this is the second most cancerous experience in the game after onslaught

Sooo i bought wz-114 for simple reasons, to earn more silver , free exp and top of that it will earn bonds. It’s slow as turd (e3 is more mobile) and it’s definitely not a high game carrier. But my first game with that thing was 6.2k dmg dealt and it gave me 260k silver(after all cost in battle) and in tier 8 premium i got 7.3k dmg dealt and earn the same amount silver after all the costs (both battles are without premium shells and consumables) so in summary it works for me as silver farming tank to mess around

Great video. I’m a console player and still got a lot from this. Thanks!

Its just a massive box!

31:01 I think you meant the only Tier 8 TD in the bond store.

Would get the M60….but as soon as I do, they will make a Chieftain or something available for bonds 😒

whats a bummer about the russian Is2,s is their premium pen 217MM but the chinese IS2 with the SAME EXACT CANNON has 250mm of pen --- 217mm of pen and the crazy dispersion .. makes it hard to play for me.. when i run into t8/9 80% of the time its a super underdog

Only war gaming would put so many bad tanks in the bond store.

I don't care if is bad or useless, it is still a Tiger. And i love tigers 😊😊 P.s. All of my Tigers has 3 gun marks

Even the War Gaming is afraid to write the full name of the tank: M46 KOLERA

So what tank I should tack guys

can you make a camo guide?

I love the m60 but I fucking hate Leo 1. That gun just major Trolls me. M60 hits snap shots all day long.

Yea you better say nothing bad about my boy Alpine Tiger XD

IS 6 has pref MM right?

121B is better sniper than M60... same accuracy but higher shell velocity, so its better.

You compare theese tanks to the tech tree ones but totally forget the premium aspect like crew xp, more credits but most importantly the ability to move crew members without penalties . When you pay bonds for one of theese tanks, yea sure, you may get the tech tree counterparts but you have none of the premium benefits. You pay for both the tank and the benefits that come with it

Noice

Bro you are the only wot youtuber I watch that said the ugly truth about defender - simply not worth bonds, especially when there are tanks like patriot or liberte. I admit it was op when introduced into a game BUT it was 7 years ago and since then it hasn't received any buffs afaik. Power creep simply killed defender. It is my deafault tank for next trade-in event:)

🦝

I bought the t-34-3. It was a mistake😂

Wg should put bz on the bond shop so no one will cry about bz anymore 😂

WZ-114 best tank (absolute garbage)

PLZ do not say never in your life BROKEN TANK...because WG will jump and nerf all tanks . Anyway all tanks shoot bad. And RNG has too strong an impact. And the aiming system is poorly made. And MM is stupid .... so please , if you find an OK tank, don't say it's broken. That we don't have any more tanks to play with without being nervous or frustrated. WG ned to improve aiming sistem. It is not NFS eith tanks , is a game where you shoot toachieve something.

Kpz 50, cobra, char… everything else is shit. 😢

So what tank I should tack guys
