My LT 432 dance like a balerina in second game 💃💃💃. Happy Hollydays to you, your mam and dad, to Vivi and Katita 🐈‍⬛ ! 🥳🤗

I just decided last night after about 20 games that the swipera is one of those tanks that isn't fun to play and isn't fun to play against. Good to know I'm not the only one.

Kinda funny how "Swipera" in the title led me thinking "Swipe Pera" which Pera means Money on our language. And the tank being a Premium tank so you have to Swipe Money to get it xD

What you wanted from the tank video and what you got were very different. I AM glad you didn't cherry pick your games just to prove a point. That's one of the things that makes you an admirable content creator.

This is me with the Defender. Everyone says its OP and idiot proof but I just cannot play the tank. Gun handling is shit and people spam gold so my armors worthless anyway. I hardly see tier 6s or tier 7s so my experience with the "OP" tank is not that great. I also have Vipera and don't really like it.

Somehow when I play this vehicle I get penetrated left right and center. I think to myself "I thought this tank had armor?"

i have 20-30 games in and i'm doing my tier 10 class dps. obviously ive been ultra lucky with the games, but it feels like a strong and punishing tank that can go 1v1 vs higher tier tanks with its armor and hit points.

I've been waiting for this re-review. Thank you. I got it from the boxes, but i'm not sure how many resources I want to put into it to try to make it work.

I agree with you, Skill. I used Vipera to train my ITA TD crew, but plan to never play the tank again. I don't mind overmatchable armor, but the tank needs to be maneuverable enough to dodge shots (like a light tank).

The only complaint I have with this tank is the mobility, other than that it’s a solid tank when hull down against tier 8s and almost op against lower tiers as long as you don’t get swarmed. Tier IX and X matches are a bit of luck. The armor can ricochet shells, but considering it’s a gold fest, a lot of tier 9 and 10 tanks can pen your armor but sometimes it can bounce too.

This video is like when you take your car to the mechanic for making a strange noise and then when the mechanic looks at your vehicle it's running better than it has in 3 years

2rd game really shows it, so I believe you Skill, it might hit some shots you think you should have missed but when you need it to hit a shot it just won't hit anything. I really liked my tier 7 at first too, but now that I am fully upgraded, it doesn't block shots anymore, and it can't hardly hit anything when I really need it to. So weird.

My favorite tank so far from the boxes is the iron arnie. It fits my playstyle more. After 80 games in it I have an average of 1100 exp, 65% win rate and 2,000 average damage. The BZ is fun, but overall the iron arnie is my favorite. Its like a new super pershing.

Got this thing as a rental when I returned after like 4 years and it was pretty fun tbh, not insanely engaging and tactical but nice to get used to the game again.

I like the td line so much I put you in as commander on the minotauro and then of course also the Vipera ;)

I got 80 boxes, all i wanted was this tank. Ended up getting all 5. This is the only one i hate. :D

Absolutely true, this tank is not as good as I thought. It's not a bad tank, it can bully quite some tomatoes but it's far from a great tank. Everything on this tank is unreliable. Speed is acceptable. Gun is not super horrible but still one of the worse gun at tier 8. The only pros of this gun is close-range potential where you meet someone who can't pen you and doesn't have speed to run away, then you can chew on them without asking their names. Other than that, you can pray for your shots to go where you aim. Armor looks quite idiot-proof and should be the highlight of this tank but it's actually not. There are quite some tier 8 tanks that can pen you straight in the face, let alone tier 9 & 10. Playing with this tank, you should expect everyone will spam gold at you simply because everyone can afford to spam gold nowaday. There are A LOT of tanks that can overmatch this tank as well. So in reality, armor of this tank is not that strong and its HP is pretty low at 1300, which means you can't make many mistakes. There will be many situations where you take only 3 pens and you're already dead. All in all, neither a bad tank nor a great tank. If you're easy with your judge then call it a good tank. For me, this tank is below good and it's super bad for my playstyle. Averaging only 3k combined per game with a tier 8 premium is not good for me, especially when it makes you feel like you're so fcking limited. I can play with bad gun handling but not with bad flexibility. Yes this tank is very inflexible.

Sometimes you get just handed kaku. The secret is making lemonade out of kaku. With your Jedi guidance this happens Mr. Skill.

I can make the gun work with aiming device, but as you said the armor is annoying. One game it works and you bounce 6k damage, the other game evryone pens your turret roof or lower plate with standard rounds.

Now it all makes sense why I only got Vipera + tier 9 French light in the loot boxes. The game actually hates me 🤣🤣

I like bouncing the lower plate just to remember it has a lower lower plate

1:59 keep coming back for this phrase :))))

I bought the tank a while ago, and I’m so sorry I did that 😁 Bad penetration, bad aiming, bad accuracy, hits when it wants not when I need 😁 Win ratio 40%. it’s a stress, I don’t recommend it.

I agree Skill! I can't make it work. I can't make the new BZ work either though lol.

I see a nice challenge here, mark it to 100% in the budget mode xD

Initially I thought it was horrible, but after playing it some more and also playing the tier 8 smv, it sorta grew on me. The clip is pretty decent, armour is alright and it has good depression, but thats really it

When i played it for the first time i didnt like it, for some reason i decided to recover the vehicle and give it another shot..it requires patient approach..knowing when to reload, using gun dep. Where it is possible..it really depends on your playing style how will you love it. For some people vipera bz and iron arnie dont work at all..i got my first mark of e. On vipera and i can do a lot of mess with it:)

18:45 - 19:20 love this part

I don't have this tank...But from what I saw in this vid, if you aim FULLY you hit where you aim 80% of the time (and since this tank is not made for sniping I say that's fair). The thing with some of the misses and bounces that I saw, was more due to lack of penetration and snap shoots that you took Skill. As far as the armor goes you can't expect to reliably bounce 330 HEAT of tank destroyers in any tier 8 tank (I'm referring to the 2'nd game). For me this tank is OP but again I didn't play with it just against it, and it feels like if you play against chief... all you can do is run (unless you play with tier 8 TD with gold)

69 420 credits even. Trully amazing tank.

10:41 you can press "alt" key, and the remaining hit-points of vehicles will show up in the minimap

I got a couple tanks from the boxes including this one. It was probably the one I needed the least since I had already completed the Minotauro line. It feels like this tank is also the most disappointing to play out of any of the premium tanks I got. The tech tree Italian TD at tier 8 is so much more fun than this tank.

I got it from the boxes and it has now Milla in command and 75% crew... I've not been able to do anything with it doesn't pen and it feels that it has paper for armor.

I love/need the Vipera's armor. I admit it. I use it as a brawler, up front using it's armor just as much as it's gun and I do all right. Not spectacular, but all right.

i got vipera from xmas boxes and it's really fun hulldown assault td

i used to play vipera on frontline to progress on fieldmodifications, but i hated it. I missed shots fully aimed from 100m. I wasn't able to make this tank working for me. i seriously scared to play this tank in random.

I agree i hate it with all my soûl i cannot make it work cant hit or pen anything and I dont seem to bounce enemies that much but it general i think its a op tank

Hey what mod pack is he using?

That scorpion g player in the second game is a typical horrible player. He tells his team how much they suck, yet does 500 damage. For anyone who lets these poor players get to them...don't. The ones with the biggest mouths are usually the worst players. Just ignore them.

69,420 profits in the 3rd game told me all I needed to know about what the Swipera was trying to do for this video LOL

To me, the Vipera is very annoying to deal with since most of the tier-8 tanks I play regularly do not have 122+ guns. It is ruining the game, together with several newly added premium tier-8 tanks.

Sooo... It's accurate at 50m distance but anything over that you hit another map.

i really feel that, I now average like 1.5k dmg in skoda but in vk 75.01K i make like 1.9 to 2k dmg per game

The tanks I do good with is M2 Medium , and the M3 Stuart so thank you for saving me from wasting my money on this tank

I got the Vipera in the loot boxes, and I'm not a unicorn by any means. I've been struggling with it and the BZ which I also got. I don't know if both have a skill cap, or I just assumed they were both invincible when I started playing them. I've gotten better at both, but not consistent or great on either. EDIT --- you are spot on when you say you cannot trust the armor or the gun ... its looks great on paper, but doesn't always deliver

Sniping with standard ammo at 140's frontal plate and not fully aiming doesn't mean the tank is bad. But I do agree that the tank isn't good for sniping in general.

There must be a piece of code like this in WoT server: if (player == skill4ltu && recordingKZfaq) { sigma = 0.001; penetrationRNG = 125; // % }

this is basically a heavy tank

For me this is a great tank, I have 2,3k average damage after 63 battles, though it was 2,6k up until around 50 battles before I had a bad streak of games where I couldn't keep up with the front line of battle

nothink to crazy is ok tank to play,the gun is a bit derpy but other than that is a perfectly balance tank for my opinion

Skiiiiiiil - I am so bad with Vipera - only 1,8k DPG. Lot of players - have problem to get 1,8k DPG at X tanks. I would like to know their reaction to your DPG at Vipera :D

I have the Same Problem with the bisonte

13 games, 2 wins. I hate this tank too.

I find it to be meh. If you can get hull down against a bunch of mediums its nice lol. It simply doesn't have any pen, if you can get against some lower tiers its fun.

If top tier you Can plow thru and smash. Even or uptiered you’re probably getting penned and smashed. It’s ok but it’s growing on me slightly. I’m averaging about 1000dmg with it but I’m probably uptiered 75% of the time. Happy holidays

Accuracy is suitable for close combat, but it has almost no armor to play like that and intra clip reload is super long. It's basically a bad heavy tank

I dont like my vipera, its too derpy but in a bad way, not kv2 way. Its too inconsistent with everything and a thing i hate about italian TDs is when you stop the gun bounces. Feel almost same as you, can tell its good and had a few good games with it, but not for me. My friends love theirs and love platooning up with them

Are we ignoring the fact that he got 69420 credits in the last game?

I feel with you.I realy hate this tank with all of my heart.10 games 0% WR.This is my worst experience.

Bad ? This ting is even OP

22:22 it's not just 69k profit. IT'S THE MAGICAL 69.420 PROFIT!!

Swipera is really campy for assault td. You get even little of crossfire an it just melts. Still really strong td.

If you look at how many you saw for a few months after release and on the servers now you have your answer.

same situation

better TS-5 or ? Vipera ?

Hey, what about Santa helpers? I didn't got any notification in the game

Bwahahaha! I was cracking the whole time on the the 3rd game. The tank is going against all Skill is saying bout bad guin. 🤣

The problem is that you can only trust the armor against tourists. Anyone else knows the weak points.

Got it from the boxes and its by far the most infuriating to play. The penetration is just complete shit against the opponents you want to face.

Completely agree... I hate the tank and the gun never behaves for me... maybe I should start recording KZfaq videos with it just to get the gun to behave???

To each their own I guess. I've been having very good games with it.

Got this in the lootboxes thinking it was going to be a good tank. Boy, was I disappointed. I hate it too.

"i hate this tank" Meanwhile: 4k DMG...

I cannot get on with mine either, don't know why, but I just can't.

Tanks designed for gold spam, if you play with it and if you play Vs it. It was BETTER with no Vipera and other similar tanks Old tanks with good armor used to have BIG CUPOLA. Those modern tanks require laser rng to hit them if they are hulldown

how can you go with this tank honestly? you have massive armor which allows you to be hulldown at any time without having to wiggle

Lmao 69,420 credits at the end of the game 22:24

Lakeville is such an unbalanced map on the 1-2 line. The team in the north has a huge advantage because they are way above the South team so they can overmatch the armor on the top of enemy tanks, and North tanks can stay hull down.

I think it sucks. I didnt even get through unlocking the field mods.

When i play first time with vipera i think of my internet is having problems but it seems the tank is the problem

Prem easier to pen than tree tank

I decided to grind french mediums, and tier 9 beat me.. my stats are shit on that tank, I struggled every game. But recently got to Polish t9 mediums and it's so much better..or I'm just awkward player who can't make things work :D

Skill: takes a shi** tank and plays average 3.7k dmg. Skill: this tank is shi** Everyone else: I really wish I would have your problems.... :) :)

I got it from the boxes - and same feeling. Horrible gun handling, mobility even with turbo is trash... not enjoyable. I wish they made it lower alpha and smaller clip, but with usable gun and mobility.

I don’t like this tank but as an enemy. Hulldown is very very hard to push

If i wanna play Premium tanks i rather play skoda t56 and löwe or if i feel like ruining some games i play bz 176.

Totally agree with you, hate this tank and its gun

I completely agree with you skill. just got it and its way overrated. Sure, doing 2000 in 20s is kinda OP, especially since you can basically play like a sudo-single shot heavy. However, armor doesn't mean shit when 122mm+ can overmatch your entire roof. Not to mention, the gun handling is truly terrible. However, at the same time, I love this because it means its balanced for the game. It has good dmg output but not without drawbacks. A semi-strong balanced tank IMO. Regardless, its pain for me to play. requires way more patience than you'd think and I just can't with the gun.

playing with these tanks same like playing with arty. Sitting in the hulldown for minutes, when nobody cannot punish u. I hate hulldown tanks without weakspot or so tiny which almost not count.

I got the skill4ltu commander and I promptly put him in charge of the Swipera. Blyatiful.

that 69420 profit in the last game..

Viperä: when you are top tier this thing is absolutely disgusting to play against. T6-T7 are helplesss T8 sturggle. T9 T10 this is barely more than noticable speed bump when you load 300+ mm penetrating Heat ammo. This is perfect example +/-2 matchmaking was bad idea and WG has long stopped even trying balacing it: just buy gold round.

Swiper for 'swipe left'

I'm glad I'm not the only one I find tank clunky and the gun feels like a bad heavy tank gun

meanwhile when I do play vipera I have to FULLY aim every single shot and still miss about 40% xD

Have this and it’s not my cup of tea, but it’s so OP. Regular 3500+ games and averaging 2450. Just don’t play it like a sniper. Really needs a bit of a nerf.

i dont know from my experience enemy viperas are very accurate especially when they spam gold. it must be rng on your side skill

Can we normalise calling the GSOR 1008 the "GSOR LooB" please.

I feel like you wantedly showcasing the tank as bad, i got the tank in only thing I can't enjoy the tank is BZ176, there are like 3,4 bz in each team and 2 shots i am dead otherwise I am having pretty good scores everytime

I truely hate this tank , got it from the loot boxes , was hoping for the iron arni but i got this one and the char instead , couldnt wait to finish the field mod and throw it in the reserve with no looking back
