Knowing a TVP VTU is the same tier as this is insane

Can we just take a moment to think about the fact that 1.5k base experience is a 1st class…..

Ah WG... back in the day they nerfed my m41 bulldog 10 shot clip because its op. Then years later they are putting tanks like this in the game not to mention wheeled light vehicles that can zoom around the map at 90kmh and turn on a dime and not even slide or spin out haha oh my WG I really wonder what you guys are thinking.

There was a time where tier 8 premium tanks were actually balanced, the tank to stop this was the Skorpion G, it had a completely overpowered gun and even though it had no armour to compensate it still proved far too much for a tier 8. Compared to the Skoda the Skorpion is a complete joke

Boi, this thing just needs to cycle 4 times do do 4k dmg in a tier 8 match, imagine how much a T-44 has to shoot to pull that sh*t, heck, imagine how much a Tiger-2 has to shoot to do that.

Who thought of giving tier 8 tanks 460 alpha especially in a clip? Tank would still be very good with 360 alpha damage

I want to know what were they smoking when they put a 2-shell autoloader in a heavy with a whopping 460 alpha per shot and labeled it "hmm, balanced".

What is ridiculous is that the IS 6 has weaker damage, dispersion, penetration values, and shell velocity, while maintaining the same speed, DPM, and aim time at the same tier. The Skoda should be upgraded to tier 9 premium or the IS 6 (along with a bunch of other tier 8 premiums and tech tree tanks) should get some massive buffs.

I was lucky to get this thing in the Chrismas boxes, played 12 games with it so far, and my best game with 1344 base experience only got me a class 1 mastery badge. I checked expectation values of the T56 compared to other well regarded tier 8 premiums, and this one has BY FAR the highest expectation values. That basically sums up how OP this thing really is.

Lets be honest, this is really a T9 tank

7:35 the worst vs the best tier 8 in the game, both czech btw 😎

I hate them so much, that when I'm playing with my e3 I load Gold just to overkill them

Tier 8 tank stronger than STRV K - tier 9. What could have gone wrong? Hoardes of them in game now are rocket shooting the balance to space... Not a pleasure playing against 3 of those.

Imagine what 2 or 3 Skoda T56’s can do in a platoon. A platoon with 2 T56’s have an 1,800 alpha magazine potential and platoon with 3 T56’s with some high rolls can kill a full health Maus with 1 magazine each. IYOUXIN posted a KZfaq video of him playing the T-56 in a platoon with another T-56 and they had a 93% win rate over a few dozen battles.

2:39 you spin me round🎶

Now imagine how tier 8 prems will look like in 2-3 years, Defender once was also considered very op and kinda tier 9 tank, now its just a good heavy, armor is not even that great anymore, if you look at what gold pen tier 8s have nowadays.

I bought one box at Christmas, and it had the T-56 in it plus 2 more tanks, no good crew for it so I trained them in the T -40 and almost finished with 2nd skill and moving them back over to T-56 with half off retraining today and will start playing it again, nice video!

Yeah I was in a match on Empires Border with my E-50 M it was a down tier to tier 8, I played everything correctly in this match won the north flank with a couple other teammates. But when the time came to rush down the hill and finish off the Skoda, I put a round into it's side, *non-pen* then I proceed to loose 1000 of my 2050 hitpoints, despite the fact I played correctly... really frustrating when you play a balanced tank that has plenty of flaws that make it balanced. Only to get punished by some crap like that, this game needs to fix it's meta with all these things that are just ridiculous to have to try and kill and/or fight.

I actually think this was intended to be a T9 Premium, and they just cut the pen down a bit and dropped it to a T8 instead.

"that man is running for his life, not looking back because he knows" had me laughing hard

2:38 - That sound :D

I know how strong this tank is. I can see how strong it is. Can I play well in it? Can I f**k! I think knowing it is OP makes me play recklessly with it and then I get punished.

This tank should only have been able to do 440 alpha per shot with the same reload it has now, but even then a total of 880 is still crazy good at tier 8, the 460 alpha should have been given to the Tnht .51. As it’s closer to ther VZ.55

One thing I love about your videos is that you always try to play with a budget setup. I could watch Mailand all day long because I'm german but recently it's like he plays Gold ammunition only. So thank you for this.

Imagine ST II having same alpha , and same intraclip ..

I was playing the caliban once, Penned two HE shots on a tier 8 med for his entire HP of 1800… that tanks addicting

"Find the Clicker... and send him to the hell." Bahahaha

Hope i can get my hands on it one day! tho i really have my main priority is getting the bourrasque right now.

5.55, 8.40 aiming circle that small ? How did you do it ? What field modification did you used?

I play the su100m1which secretly has the soul of the old Bobject 264v4 (trust me it's secretly an op TD lol) where you can just play it aggressively with vary fast reload time, gun with very good pen,fast, and if you angle the td correctly you can be a russian superman, lastly the td can deal againts almost every HTs including those higher tiers, however it doesn't apply when this td meet with Skoda T56

One of my viewers bought me a few boxes and I was given this tank! Thanks Lucky! :D And Merry Christmas :)

2:32 it is a bit differend type of tank, dont you think so boys and wheeeeeee :DD

Yesterday I had the same same situation as skill had in this video mountain pass. also in t56, the only problem is that my team melted in 4 minutes and it ended in 15:3 simulator.

Lately I play a lot with WZ-111-1 4(I really enjoy it-but only with top gun) and I really just wait that someone start shooting gold on me. Response is brutal: 340 heat pen, with rolls over 500. Skooda t56, and those kind of tanks eating for dinner.

21:13 even if you dont know how to play with autoloaders, this thing has still the highest T8 heavy alpha damage with a single shot. This tank is so unnecessary imo...

2:39 weeeeeeeee

Try playing with KV5 with secret MM Nerf, now never sees lower than tier 8, often put with t9, with it's t7 gun ☹. Now has too face Skoda T56 to....

The alpha on that Skoda T56 should have never been higher than 390

Hi all. Guys, please, whats the name and where do i get this 2 addons for marks of exelence and damage panel he has on the left bottom side?

How can you get this tank ? can't find it anywhere, even in shop :(

One question Skill, aren`t all tanks so more powerful with gold ammo? If you get a bump in pen and velocity isn`t that way more powerful?

Meanwhile premium German tier VIII heavy aka. Lowe: 1600dpm....

I believe nobody could have thought 252u would get powercrept

imo premiums should be more like the Tornvagen in terms of Performance

hey skill great vid

It hardly makes a difference in income to shoot full gold. You still get 150k-200k net profit per round while goldspamming. You can easily average 3k dpg and farm credits insanely fast.

Can we just have a mode put in the game where we could play like the game was 7 years ago without all the OP premium tanks and new tech trees that caused a massive power creep for tiers 7 and up? That's all most veteran players would play.

I have škoda, but i am not happy to much(ofcorse its very good tank)...for me gun is pure troll and armor is not best (enemy was penetr. my turret with AP)....some games noone can pen you, some games everyone pen you like nothing....if i compare this tank with 703...oh boy, for me is 703 fun tank with pretty good ruski troll armor and good gun (i am suprise how much snapshots i hit and if you hit double shot= baby yeah).

It'll get nerfed after the holidays. Wg have done this in every Christmas update for a while. OP tanks only in loot boxes > OP tank hype > People spend stupid amounts of money > Holidays end > Small nerf > Avalible in store > More nerfs

This Tank is soo beautiful, Skill what do yu mean over the VZ 55?? Is it good or broken?

Thanks!

I have it but tbh I am enjoying the Caliban a lot more . .

i just got it from the box. I had none of them, and i got skoda. So it's better than others?

I know it's an older video, but BZ 176 is a much tougher nut to crack. 🤣

The Caliban is super fun. But Danm I wish I got this one

skeel you gotta showcase 703 II

2:40 weeee

gr8 success !

Oh Skoda T56. Yes, a bit OP but just a bit, just a touch....

When it was introduced I did not buy it even though I had achieved 50% in the marathon. I did not want to promote another OP tank in the game. In the meantime I have changed my mind - if WG wants to ruin the game, I can at least scrape some fun out of it while they are doing it. Not going to waste my money gambling with lootboxes, but if it is available to buy the next time I'll probably spring for it.

T56 gold pen is almost same as tornvagon standard pen. I really dont like how wg balances tanks with pen. T56 should have longer reload. The dpm is too high. Heavy burst and dpm combination with high alpha is not balanced. The alpha should be 400 for this gun to be balanced.

Dream to have that tank

Just finished farming a platoon of these in my fridge lol

Good morning, товарищ.

Hardening + turbo + vert stab is my go to setup

Finally! Time for lunch and chill with skill, Greetings from Sweden, from your slavic brother

Deffo agree it is horribly OP. Although yesterday I completely owned one with my beautiful Carnarverarveron 😉

I bounced over 10 000 damage off the turret on this Tier 8 Skoda in a Tier X game.

I blame skill for my autoloader addiction! I can't get enough

I have a friend that scored one of these from boxes, very lucky for only 9 boxes. The sad thing is I know it will never be played properly due to his skillset.

I spent 20 bucks and got the Skoda T-56, plus a couple lower tier tanks,a pretty good deal i think

Do you think it's more OP than the object 730 II? The armor of that tank is incredible, and the other stats aren't that much worse. I think the only big difference is the type of gun, with skoda you have the two shot autoloader, with object you can double.

I can not agree that gold means 1-2 more penetretations per game. For some flanking situations maybe, but for frontal fight its at least 50% and more pens with gold than with ap. It is coming closer to moment where no gold means no joy. It was not so just few years ago. That puts under question all marks of excellens and performance. There should not exist way to play worse than others do, because you dont shoot gold. And just imagine OP in combination with full gold. Cheers! Love your content.

1. Tnh - 8t tech tree is also amazing like this ^^ 2. Alpha better than 9t 3. My vz 55 has worse rools with 490 Alpha usualy 450-470 4. Wg said that 122 tm has good dpm ( soeme is out of mind) 5. Lets play tanks like centurion 1 and have fun with currently mm +1 +2 with 230 Alpha 2k dpm and bad gun handling while ~ 60 % are loaders and wg cant buff the Old tanks even premiums :) grind tech tree tanks with bad mm and op premiums are rly fun.

There is no balance in WoT. Never has been and never will be. This is P2W game. I don't know if there is anything wrong with P2W but everyone should recognize it. Best players get best tanks and equipment. F2P players are just cannon fodder for paying customers. Worst thing is that there is no skill based MM, since it would help with many problems, especially at tiers 5-7 where is lots of P2W seal clubbers spamming full gold.

The alpha dmg is just too high for t8. Make it 420 or something and keep it the same reload.

The boosting consumes credits and neglects the credit earning advanage of prem tank, whats left then is the crew training, but there are not that many CZ HTs for that to be any real advantage. Yes it can be used to dominate the games here and there, and just have fun, but you really have to pay for it to make that domination any close to consistent. T56 can suck just as bad if not boosted as it can excell if boosted.

why don't you add an overpowered category to the index?

Finally! A tank in which I can get close to being average lol

It's basically an armored Borat

What about 703 2?

Amazing! And after this video, Many players Will pay up for lootboxes rest of the year!

This why wg should do separate section for tanks from cold war to modern

the only bad thing about this tank is that it doesn't have a proper 130mm gun sound

Though with this tank I seem to get 17/20 +1 and +2 mm games :D

This tank is most balanced tank in WOT, it is used for balancing another tank XD

Yeah well thank u wg for letting out this 920hp balancemaster, the so much needed tank. Screw this game with this nonsense, oh the days when we were all mad because of defender... i dont believe that this game will be ever balanced, it reminds me the situation in chernobyl they wanted to have more of everything and thats what they got. You can compare this tank with every tier 8 (even some tier 9s) heavy tank and like 99% have no chamce against the skoda balanced t56. I believe that the balancing team in wg is pouring vodka instead of boiled water to their coffee in the morning. RIP WOT

Skill, I wish I had one of those Skoda T56! Just not in the cards for me right now unfortunately! Lol NA server

Relatively good tier X with pref matchmaking

game is going to the abyss

I bought 3 boxes this year and got Skoda in first box. I'm happy

You think 208 pen is bad? Try 186 in the Alpine Tiger - and that's after the "buff"!

Good in your hands but not in all others, that just needs to be remembered....

The Skoda is a great OP tank. But to me it is only a little fun. The Caliban is much more fun to me and it's not overpowered. But that's just me. Good day Skill!

Wot enters the building, balance has left the building.

Meanwhile the actual tier 9 has 440 alpha… Honestly they should swap the pen values and make the t56 the tier 9 and make the vz.51 the premium tier 8. At least then the stats would make sense.

This thing is more OP tier for tier than the Tier 10

As you said, it should be Tier9. WG should add some Penetration and upgrade it to Tier9 BUT with the Tier8 outcome for the Credits. I had such good Games in that Tank, it is insane.

Edit:Its powefull without any gold...yeah when all enemy armor is red its not very strong too:)

I bought 50 boxes (2x25) and got skoda t56, at first i didnt knew if it was good, now i see how lucky i was to not get Shitvagn and Taliban
