Was playing this morning, and I said to myself once again, that the 477 is terrible and over powered. Just the armor alone is completely ridiculous. Honestly, I can’t believe war gaming did this.

That’s the reason I quit era 3, even I had the chance to get the Obj. 477. But I don’t want to go in a fight with a monkey tank like a Obj. 477 or a Wiesel. Screw you WG for tanks like this.

This tank along with weasels undoubtedly spoil era 3, challenger Abrams and leopard tanks are some of the best tanks in the world and are more or less useless now.. totally farcical to play era 3. Such a shame.

In the first week of the launch of this "thing" everyone already knew that era 3 would be compromised, more than six months have passed and nothing has been done, in fact it has gotten worse. Honestly, I don't see the slightest interest in WG correcting this.

Why does WG constantly keep repeating the same pattern? New OP Premium tanks that reduce the reason why a player would want to use 'other' tanks in the same Era //Tier? Year after year. How much better off would the game be without PZ. V/IV's, Taren's, Wiesel's, Armadillo's, 477's to name a few.

That tank is 100% OP when you cant pen it from the front but that first match was against a bunch of bots. I usually just find this tank on my team anymore and get behind it. I have better games this way. I hate when the matchmaker puts 3+ on the other team and we only get one if we’re lucky. Oh hey thanks for the 3 Thumpers that’ll help. 🙄

Makes think do you really want go through to era 3 in the tech tree, all that time and effort only for your tank to be destroyed by a £40/50 premium tank

This tank is one of the reasons few players want to play CW

Wargaming said era 3 is a fun era they want that this way. Stop playing era3 if you want it to change. Let it die.

When i first came across this ridiculous vehicle, i sold the era three that i owned,and have never played era 3 since, people need to vote with their feet ,otherwise wargaming will just keep releasing these preposterous pay to win fantasy tanks.

I struggle against this thing everytime I encounter it. Finally killed on with Thumper this morning by nailing it repeatedly in the rear while a light kept it tracked.

For some odd Reason many Cold War Tanks accross any ERAs don't have HE or HESH, this rounds will go trough the 477 frontal hull and always deliver damage, granted is not good damage but for example with the 105 of the M60AX that does around 460 to 520 Damage regulary, the HE will do 220 to 300 every time, i say GIVE HE TO ALL TANKS, NO ONE USES HEAT WTF! WARGAMING? yes the tank sshould have a reduced speed of 60 KPH TOPS! And make the gun module breakable if not part of health bar, the other problem? yes ZE WIESEL

I actually think Cold War makes you better at WWII. It makes you aim, learn to lead shots and pinpoint weaknesses. It also keeps you on your toes cause your always spotted. Makes you cautious unless your in the yolo train.

I've said this about this tank since it came out, the boys will say "it's easy to kill, you just suck".....ya it might be easy to kill if 5 guys swarm it and somebody gets behind it. One on one you lose, or avoid.

Such a broken tank I pretty much ignore it and fire at anything else. Had a losing game the other day because 5 tanks were trying to take one of these out. While the rest of the enemy team cleaned up the rest of our team. This and the weasel ruin the game.

Wargaming's definition of "balanced" is a different definition than would come to mind for most of us. 🤔 This is utterly ridiculous! 🤬

I just don't play era3 anymore, until they nerfed the 477a and the weasel. If there will be no changes, I will never play era3 again. And this will be the same in era1 and era2 if they think about adding owerpowered pay-to-win tanks.

Thank you so so much for this video and showcasing how broken that tank is. Love your videos and keep up the hard work!

There's tanks in cold war like the type 89 that pens almost nothing...while the 477 A and the weasel pen everything it seems

Pay to win is high at the moment. High alpha tanks / op tanks. Is getting out of control. No more fun to get gunmarks...

I have stopped playing Era3 currently due to tanks like this and the juggernaut type of game play in Era3!!

i only play era 3 for the silver and thats painfull most of the time.

It just needs a weak point. Like, I dont understand why wargaming does this, there must be a balancing factor or you get this - an insanely OP tank at what is supposed to be the pinnacle of Cold War. Just like the Taran in WW2, I played this thing about three times and mothballed it. Way too strong. I feel dirty AF playing it.

Thanks to this tank I started playing war thunder and recently joined their partner program. So now I get access to content early and can request things to my account which is awesome from a content creator point of view.

As long as the front is facing the enemy, you will have a good game regardless of whether you're a good player or not. You can pen everything without the worry of taking damage, unless its HE. Which only a few have the ability to. So if you have HE, use it against this op tank. Otherwise track it and pray your team will shoot the weak parts for you😂.

Very rarely play era3. Era 1 the best as no missiles.

Actually, the 477A can be penned all over the place...I've used HE and HESH to whittle away and make Mr. Invincible...Hitable! Then I run at it and grab a hold of that arse...Who's yo daddy?

Era 3 is a "cancer", it breeds tanks like this with players that choose to run around like chickens, auto locking, shooting, and paying zero attention to the map. 13+ groups all head off in their trains and either win or die. I have avoided this Era since this tank came into the game, it's just flat stupid. I do not have it, will not play it if I did, just like the 279E when it first came out. Grinded that sucker for a year, then saw how OP it was and left it in the garage. NO fun when you can just sit and shoot...

It gets worse if you notice the rear side of the tank almost glitches into the floor of the map when firing its machine gun or it’s a feature bouncing rounds off the rear because of the angling

It's so easy to pin the 477a is so easy to take out from the front when they are shooting the machine gun it raises up the front end more so you have more opening on the lower lower plate I go thru every shot

I dont pen on them and thats shooting obj 292 apfsds side on

Definitely can confirm it’s a early hours I’m on the eu server XD About 5 players on each side and bots But regardless it still shows what it can do and one I want to dumb test

There was a lot of bots on that Berlin match, ez farming 😭😭

Removed Wiesel and OBJ477 and give refund. Maybe then players come back to Era 3?

Since I've been playing WOT (7 years now), I've been hearing CCs and other streamers "singing" this song, but still WG release these totally over powered tanks. Or as @The_MightyJingles said "If you can't take a good joke, you shouldn't play World of Tanks".

Nothing destroying the game more than op lemmings, but as long as people buy to win, war g will make new op tanks.

It is overpowered but once you find its limitations head-on definitely but there’s more than one are you you can take it down quite easily yes it could have a bit more weak spots in the front

Me a war thunder player, hoping that this thing doesn't get added, maybe in wt it wouldn't be too op but who knows, that coax hmg seems deadly, and crewless turrets are always strong

Well Era 3 was ruined and never fixed now Era 2 is with all the free missle tanks it's just ridiculous

It's definitely over powered in armor breaking era3 more

One simple solutuion. Heat through lower plate .

I find just slinging HE works wonders against this tank, I mainly used the 292 and on average I’d hit 400+ on it slinging HE at it pretty reliably

Whenever I asked to have the OBJ 120 with the good round at era 3, I didn't mean put in the OBJ 477A or OBJ 292

The only solution to killing this thing head-on is using HE rounds, which can range from 100 to 500 damage depending on where you shoot it on the upper plate or turret face. A little surprised it was never mentioned. I purposely keep HE roundd to make sure i can destroy these things. And I haven't had much problem in doing so.

Atleast the Weisel is fun and it can be shredded by auto cannons and missiles. Both vehicles could be retconned by Wargaming if they wanted to, having said that compensation must be given in gold😮

I think WG should buff all ERA 3 tech tree tanks so they could compete against these OP tanks and make grinding ERA 3 great again.

If anyone’s currently looking at quitting the game entirely and is either giving up Xbox to move to pc or just giving it all up in general, respond to this post. I’ll consider buying you out for the account depending on what you have🤝

Really overpowered tank. Because of the 477a and wiesel i hate playing era3

477 is a tough cookie but just load hesh or he you will reliably hit for 400-550 lol or just rush it and get behind it lol This tank is a breeze to deal with conspired to all the super high camo rating 80kmp mini guns and rockets.

Guarantee they will sell it again as well. It will be nothing but weasels and 477a's

There is plenty that can be done against that tank. It’s teamwork that gets it eliminated. Too many tanks in WoT are already 1v1 nightmares unless you work together as a team which sadly WoT lacks. Not enough teamwork at all. That’s what makes WoT not enjoyable to play. The terrible teams you get stuck on constantly.

I bought it when it came out, how could I pass it up?

imho, if you want to try out WoT, play it on PC for the actual experience and... btw i still think the death star was and still is the most OP tank to hit WoT.. OP and alpha dmg tanks is something you just have to get use to see on the field, yea i know it sucks if your the one not driving it 😆... If you can hurt it you know you can kill it but if you run out of shells before your HP, well your screwed... Grind well Tankers 😎

This isn’t fair

Getting this tank for free from my 10 year celebration chests.. I’ve got no complaints about it🤧🥴

I got this in a free case. Muahahahahahahahaha! This thing can fight alone against half the enemy team in co-op.

The key to penning it is HE or HESH

Wargaming will start 2-3 big sales with the tank, at different prices. After this it will be nerved or they will release a new tank wich kills the molot easily. The new tank would be then a higher price. This is what they are always doing until the game is completely broken.

Easy fix.....don't play Cold War.

People keep buying them, WG is gonna keep making them.

my 2 cents worth... I am a new player..and I am retired (10 yrs), and being on a pension I just don't have the $ to spend to basically buy my game ...so i spend time working my way up the TT lines and play a lot of co-op I di play Multiplayer but the level of j frustration just forces me back to co-op, you drive aTT top tier Abrams ,Challenger etc and you still have only two chances against these (cheater tanks) slim and none...anyway that is my take ...Cheers

Nerf this thing

Yesterday I had 14 k took on 2 477a and a mbt to win the game. Tank is a beast

Pay to win at it’s finest

Terrible tank to play against . Only way is to rush him try to detract and use hesh ammo. Ramming is also quite good especially when you have challenger 2

Every tank has weak spots some more than others. This tank you have to purchase and people who purchase tanks keeps revenue coming in and that's the way war gaming stays in business!

WG are allowed to make money but in the past year they seem to have given up on balancing new premiums. The pay to win is out of hand and I refuse to buy into it or be farmed by so many brain dead tanks. I've stopped playing and fully committed to not coming back to WOTC. Just imagine how bad the game will get when tanks like the 477 go back on sale.

Taking advantage of noobs here. I have zero problem taking these out. Rear = trash. 😊

No chance the wiesel tow has ruined era 3.

So frontal armour around 21 to 51mm..and it can't be penned..? Who's kidding who here? Isn't this thing supposed to be almost the same tank as the object 292..or am I thinking of a different object? Anyone wanna bet on WG coming up with something that does...100Km/h? Glad I play cold war era 3 once in a blue moon..and CW not much. Good luck folks...Oh and I would not be surprised if this thing, or one like it turns up sometime...with missiles as well.. So is this thing fun to play? I'd say it's a hoot. I mean who wouldn't want to kill every tank that comes your way? And I reckon you can win games in this you maybe wouldn't win otherwise. So say you have 2 or 3 of these in your team/s...Jeeze. But, after a while it's gonna become a bit stale. But, there'll be some who will use it just because it's so deadly, those who want to see more kills and huge damage numbers. Mind you, it was funny to see a ruddy weasel run for it's miserable life. Will I be paying for one? No. As for WG needing to make money, they make plenty of that. But given the expertise of their programmers and the software they'll be using, how much does it actually cost to create this tank, or any other tank? How long would it take one of these guys to create a new tank? Probably a day or less.. This thing does look similar to the obj 292, more armour along the front of each side, less at the back. Spaced armour is shaped differently..better to bounce shots and thicker. Give it thin frontal armour for less weight but programme it to be far more difficult to pen than it should be. Bung a cannon on the turret so you can keep doing damage whilst the main gun reloads. Increase the gun's power..probably the same gun as the 292 maybe with a few tweaks to it's appearance. Make a few more tweaks to the overall appearance and you have this thing. And make it do 80+ Km/hr...more with traction installed. A bit faster than the 292...which is classed as a heavy tank. And how much Gold to buy it? How many do they need to sell to cover the cost of creating it? Not that many I'm willing to bet. Then I would ask, as WG's main HQ is in Cyprus, and they are their biggest taxpayer, and Cyprus isn't a big country .. how many tax breaks do WG get? Can they claim the costs as a business cost in some way? Paying employees wages is a business cost. R&d maybe? Be of no doubt, this company pulls in a hell of a lot of revenue, their profits will be high. Like any big corporation, investors, banks etc they will have money invested, at this time probably a fair bit invested in oil, gas and other petroleum products such as petrol and diesel. Since early 2022. And a lot more besides. Like any other corporation WG is about making money. ANY business has to be a cash generator to survive, the bigger they grow the more they need to generate. Then there's merchandise, like their range of "Dog Tags" for instance. T shirts, mugs etc etc. But their main income is from the game, mostly WOT I would think. So they create more and more premium tanks, every one has to be better than the rest in some way or ways. God knows how many players will buy the gold to buy the newest tank. These pixel tanks are WG's main product, if they didn't create new products for people to buy they'd lose money. So they began by creating tanks that existed in WWII..but there's only so many of them, so they create tanks that were never built or only a few were..a prototype or two. Then they begin inventing tanks that never existed. You could think of it like Lego, their very early basic kits back in the day, how many are their now to build how many different things? Unlike say Lego where you can buy say the Millenium falcon set, keep it in it's original wrapping and in thre future it's a collectable and worth money..more than you paid for it. With WOTs you can collect tanks but you can't sell them later. Even if you have a tank which is now rare because they don't sell it anymore. You'd be better off buying Lego sets...or Nike trainers. I do NOT buy premium pixel tanks that are not worth wot WOT charge for them. Also I notice the premium ammo on this thing is WOT...800 silver per round...T95E3..5200 silver per round if I recall.. But how many twits will buy gold just to spam gold rounds on this thing? Idiots.

Hahaha there all bots then talks about how Op the tank is lul

Silly game now the games don't last long YOLO manic

Boasting about pwning “new players” which are actually bots is a new low.

Its really not. It can easily be countered and it slows games down. However a limit on tanks is the bast way to balance

OP tanks vs bots😂😂😂 clearly are 90% bots

While I agree the tank is over powered and I wish I would have bought one when they were on sale some months ago, I also have to address that fact that you are feeling sorry for a bunch of guys who can't aim. I say this because at about 12k damage for you, you only had blocked 752 which tells me they are missing you entirely they deserve to be removed from the game at that point not even trying to shoot you in the week spots or at you since you only blocked 752 by that point. Again I agree its OP but the folks you played against just out right sucked that game.

Cold war mode sucks and especially era 3

Chad

First off, the tank is very easily killable. The player base needs to learn how to flank.and Surround the vehicle. But then again, most of the player based in era, 3 is pretty stupid same in world War 2 mod

Cold war is broken anyways. WW2 is pretty trash thanks to the clueless devs, but Cold war is an absolute unplayable mess

Wargaming releases broken OP tanks so that people can buy them in droves..then they nerf the sh*t out of them. Just look at the avre. Hell, you barely see that tank in game anymore.

Also amusing listening to world war 2 players crying.

The not so expieriencd players wer bots :-)

Thumper kills it easily boys.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😅😅😅😅😅

477a is a fun tank idk what your talking about over powered. It’s just like the fv4005

Playing against bots and farms 19k well done my guy! Go and play against some Real ppl that know how to Deal with a 477 and you wont do more then 2k dmg 😂😂

Why do you play it if you already know its OP? The case can be made that you’re part of the problem. 😂

It's not much of a problem since it's blacked out and can't be purchased.

This is a game not war

FIRST!!! 😁

He E. Good clip but that think is not OP at all took this moring 2 off them out 😂 Hesh is a great wapon , and he 😂 Yes, it is strong, and yes, you can have great games against players. How just shot standard ammunition like apcr etc. Just stop doing this and you will be fine.

This tank is easy to take care of if you’re in anything that has a decent amount of pen

When people say a tank is op it simply means they struggle to kill it if you know how to take out a tank it becomes just another tank to kill. Same goes for the people crying about the Wiesel it’s not op they just struggle to kill it because of its concealment size and speed. Just learn the weak spots become better players and it won’t be such a struggle and C.C. Jumping on the crybaby band wagon doesn’t do anything except feed the fire of the cry baby players

High Explosive round to upper front plate.....dur.....70mm armor

This is why I only play WW2
