These Italian tanks show how the Foch B would perform if it had armor.

The one thing this video def does is reinforce how terrifying the TS-5 really is lol.

3 am for me. Quackybabs, lemme sleep.

With so many tanks with strong turrets that do best when hull down there's going to be a shortage of good places to go hull down.

Litteraly the italian tankline: Aah yes nice autoREloader. Italian tank destroyer: what is a autoreloader?

When its sidescraping, i found that you can shoot it in the top of the engine pretty reliably

I haven't played this game in 6 years. I still watch 95 percent of these videos. Props to you :)

It really has become shocking witnessing just how unbalanced and broken this game has become over the last 3-4 years.

You’re going to hear alot of stories of two Vipera’s on a stand still because none of them can’t pen one another.

I think WG completely messed up the classes. Instead of making these "TD"s as heavy tanks and those so called Italian heavy tanks converted to TDs

I started playing World of Tanks on 09/03/2012 and yesterday I finally uninstalled the game, albeit with a heavy heart. After watching your video on the new Italian TDs, I wanted to see if they were really as OP as the stats were making it out to be. So, I hopped in one of my old time favorites, the E 75, and was immediately pummeled into dust without being able to do anything about it. I've really slowed down on playing the game lately because I was getting a lot less enjoyment from it than in years past (what used to be fun is now just frustrating). Even after taking a several month break, this game just isn't fun to me anymore. Cudos if you still enjoy it, but as someone who remembers the hay days of this game (around 2014-2018 imo) it really breaks my heart to say goodbye to a game I've put thousands of hours into. I'll keep watching WOT content because I love the content you and other WOT content creators make and I still have hope one day the ship will be righted and the game will be fun again. ❤️

250mm effective at tier 8. "Not all that thick..."

So, armor-wise, it's essentially a 268 v4 with a turret and without the cupola.

I received this tank as a gift for watching the WOT Twitch show last weekend. So far after some upgrades, I like it, it's fun to play, and right now I have been winning games with it. Thanks, QB, for the video, Mike, in the USA

The clip is actually much better in many situations than normal reloading tank, because if u get stunned or ammoracked ur reload stays 6 seconds always until the clip is emptied, but with normal tank ur reload would be horrendous

Actually, THAT IS part of the heavy Juggeraut meta, it is just classified as a TD. I guess they were trying to redeem themselves with the release of the Rinoceronte, but instead of buffing, they made another line with a Juggernaut armor and pretty much everything he needed to be good.

Thanks QB for update....Also, watching QB's eyes shift when his mouth talked faster than brain processed. "It's the most useless skill unless your deaf" , brain looks down at mouth, "follow my lead, I will fix this" 🤣😅 It's okay to not always be PC, we know what you meant. Your 100% right, it should be given to anyone with that condition 😁... Rock on QB 🤘😎

I was playing a game on the live NA servers yesterday and saw a vipera on our team. Basically if you go hull down you’re invincible otherwise people will go through that hull.

Just a note, those shells the 50tp penetrated only worked because he shot into the front of the track. Angle a little more and the spaced armour that the track is will just absorb the shell with zero damage. People tend to shoot the visible part of the drive wheel when they can, even though because of the way the penetration mechanic works, shooting into the flat front is far better.

the tech tree counterpart is just as good and maybe even better, all of the italien TDs from Tier 7 on are really strong

"Armor doesn't matter" Vipera: "Hello there!"

We need a Skoda T56 for every quarter report, how else are we going to keep the sales rising

The bar on top I managed to pen the 4th time I saw green and it was in T-103 with regular AP rounds, is a pixels shot! Good Luck Everyone! 🍀

Man this tank reminds me of some TD that being removed because it is OP

Thank you for this video. I am actually severely hearing impaired, that arty detection is very useful for me on some tanks.

Thank you for this review. Bought the Vipera today and first game got Ace Tanker even when we were outnumbered and the enemy had more Vipera than we did

Amount of gold, fired at tank, is the reason, why it is in game now. No matter where WG puts test server, RU, EU, NA or on the moon, there will be more and more OP tanks in game, so folks get their credit cards and pay.

From my experience, this thing gets hit hard by SPG's (Usually around 250-500), It's roof can be penetrated with good HEAT rounds (As an example, its easy to counter this thing in medium range combat with the new CC-67 (300mm of HEAT pen.) But the accuracy really let's you down on multiple occasions, so i think I.A (Preferably Bounty) Is a must equipment for this tank. But it's laughable how hard you can outplay the rest of the tier 8 hull down tanks with this thing, as well as deal with higher tier opponents. Just find a ridge, stop and aim for enemy's weak spot (Cause they probably have one) and look at them aiming at you trying to figure out how they pen you. Then just keep baiting them to stay in the position they previously were. If there's a good player against you, use your burst damage as the advantage, they will A. Take it and most likely die, or B. they will run and still take a lot, while having little (close to 0) chance of penning you, usually giving you just more room to play with & ending up doing huge damage games because of the room you can achieve. The lower plate is also an absolute joke, yes it's weak, but so tiny that if you're close to enemies, they probably won't have enough gun depression to shoot you or they will just miss the shot because of the little size of the weak spot. The "under flaps" of the sides are a good weak spot, but you have no reason to show them while peeking (Usually...) You can also have "Passive impact" with this thing, just by being able to hold a ridge or a flank against multiple opponents because they cant pen you and if they're going to try to push you, they pay a lot for it or maybe even end up dying.

The 3rd game was the best, in my opinion, there you can see: 1) By going a bit in front and separate a bit from your teammates, you create a focus fire on yourself; and the poor interest of your "friends" in defending you and working as a team for victory (they barely supported him and didn't even shoot the ELC). Lmao, as some people say, "there is no team in WoT, most of the time is a 29 vs 1" 2) I would kill to see where the is-3a, t-44-100 and the defender hit QB; they had a tough time dealing with him, QB even got shot from multiple angles and by more than 3 tanks... I think QB could have survived and slaughter them all with just a bit of support of his team; I believe that the defender pen because he was a bit more higher, so he had a better shot on QB's roof and the T44 was shooting there and maybe the left shoulder of the Vipera. Let's be honest, that platoon (IS-3A and Defender) was scary back in the day, but vs a platoon of viperas they even seem underpowered HAHAHAHAHA. The IS-3A has no chance vs this td (I know It has the 122 mm gun, but the handling and depression of it is so bad that, rarely it willl hit the roof), and the Defender has armor, but the dispersion is bad, so not always it will hit the LOWER LOWER plate of the Vipera or overmatch the roof. WoT community was angry at the Kran, Chief, 279e, etc. I know those tanks are broken and OP, but at least those had cupolas (small but were there) and the new TD line has almost 0 turret weakspots (just take a look at Daki's video reaching more than 300k blocked) This might be the end of WoT, AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THOSE NEW K-2 AND UDARNITY (I've heard that the K-2 can't even pen itself becuase it has IS-4 armor in tier 8; and If you train a new soviet crew you can see those names in the tanks list). Fortunately I am used to not play this game much, since all of this farming simulator, MM, OP tanks, prem spam and more BS; now with the new line I am more than happy to stay way form it for another month(s). GL to everybody going against these things and happy hunting while possible!👍

I always wonder what the reviews would look like without all the bond equipment, just standard stuff, and a 100% crew with no skills or just one maybe two, not a full skill crew.

If this is to counter the hull down heavy meta then please roll back the HE nerf..

Basically it is a TS5 with less fire power but gains in armor when the lower plate is covered

While I do understand, that "frontally strong tanks" bring up a lot of emotion, I sometimes can't hear the mimimi about those vehicles anymore. When I started playing, it was quite common knowledge, that barely any tank was really OP. Frontally strong vehicles were seen as invitation for teamplay and getting easily rid of them with two players willing to cooperate. I am still grateful for every single time, when I witness coordinated teamplay to clear a situation that became trendy to be called "OP tank mimimi". Surprisingly I meet way more players on the newer side or with below average winratio, who are willing to share HP, bring up active gameplay and enjoy the challenge. No doubt, there will be enough situations, where I'll mimimi about this tank myself xD

Translation- Play T9-10 heavies and load heat for the next couple of weeks. 😬 Thanks for the heads up QB!

Curious to see how much better this is over the tech tree, like they did with the Skoda T-56.

Kudos to QB for perfectly pronouncing 'Vipera'!

Imagine this in frontlines and tier 8shs. Power

I’ve found that t8 heavies and TDs with premium rounds make you butter

hi QB, can you please upload a video about the classic ferdinand, and how it compares to the nowadays meta

just came on sale again, i think i will get it. great video info.

Super tester on the other team dropped into a match with one of these things when I was playing my AMX M4 45. He got 8 kills. Good times.

excellent review/analysis as always, thanks QB.

I bought the Vipera because I thought it looked ridiculous and would match my Tog 2 and Sentinel tanks very well. In my opinion it is the perfect tank for someone who is not the best at remaining hidden while trying to snipe as its Armour offers some amazing protection. All in all in a game I have very little fun in, this tank is fun to play.

Por primera vez no comparto tu Review creo estabas probando un tanque muy diferente muchas cosas siguen igual pero WG lo modifico antes de sacarlo y me alegra que así lo hiciera

AAANNNDDD, the power creep line krept even higher......

Thks for the timecodes =)

People gonna adapt with these tank and yall gonna see its actually balance in a way

Got mine at about 430am today so after work I will try it out

I keep coming back for your content, and im not playing WOT anymore, havent played for a lorng time, your just that good at what your doing, thank you for really good content

I had an interesting encounter with this tank while playing in the char futur. I was able to put full mag in him but took 2 from him. Worth the trade? It hurts in the end

This tank is the new defender for frontlines

Played a few battles in this thing. Definitely agree with the build set up. Gun handling is borderline horrible on long range maps. Managed to que in on some tier X matches. Yeah support role all the way. These things were flooding the MM. Great video QB. 👍🏻

good review quackz

This looks like it's encouraging people to fire gold when driving it as its accuracy means you cant target weak spots and encourages people to fire gold against it as higher pen will go straight through it's armour, doesn't sound like fun for anyone.

Counter to the heavy juggernaut meta, while being a heavy juggernaut. Yeah, that will work.

"They never nerf premium tanks anymore". They nerf it but they don't tell you.

I finally have a use for Cobra Commander

If I buy your WOT bundle but already own one of the styles, do I get 5500 gold back in compensation?

QB thanks for the detailed reviews as usual. However, would be nice if you could show us matches with it as bottom tier.

since i heard there was gonna be a new pasta td line i made nnew crew for it and used books to get it to have 5 skills with female commander and the mirny event crew

I respect TS 5 but..that cupola on top is easy to penetrate with viperas standard round...gun depression and rotating cupola are the dealbraker in TS 5/Vipera dilema. When on hull down Vipera can bounce even tier 10 standard rounds..i agree with QB this tank is a beast, but like every other tier 8 premium you can encounter tiers 9 and 10s and then you play very carefully and you must pick targets, not just go into the front line..i manage to deal 4500 dmg in tier 10 machup just by being carefull and picking lower tier tanks.

Just got this tank and 6 secs is way to long since it's an autoloader. But it does has decent armor . Definitely need a good crew , field mods , and bounty equipment to have decent matches it ... and oh yea TURBO is a must .. it's extremely slow.

I wonder how many of these Viperas I will encounter on the next Frontline?

The line just got released and I've started from Tier VII and boy is that thing OP AF when MM is favorable ! The whole line feels broken. Intraclip reload time might suck, but the short reload really allows you to trick people into coming at you when they think you're dry and you still have two shells left to finish them off. STOOPID !

Yeah, I got trapped with the Skoda t56. It can't get in past armor AT ALL

hey quikqbaby i love u man ur like the only person who teached to to play world of tanks good i have been playing for 3 years now and i am still learning thanks man

Looks like a more mobile and flexible TS-5 because there isn’t enough annoying premiums at tier 8

15:30 the moment when you realise that your skoda t56 isnt good enough any more...

She’s solid besides that lower plate 22mm .. I smashed another ones face in hitting that

bought 15 christmas crates and luckily got this about time after 10 years I've won on these.

I feel like WG is overcompensating for making the RInoceronte line so bad, instead of balancing both the heavy and TD lines in the the Italians tech trees. they just gave us an overpowered TD line.

QB do you think that the Caliban will be able to take care of it?

Once weakspots were eliminated on say 277 or Defender it went nuts. I loved my IS-3 and KV-13 but I never felt dirty playing them they had downsides...then things got silly. I loved my Centurions but you had to know how to play them. The whole game went just destabilised.

Any rumors about Returning of Wt e110 events? In less than a month it will appear

Its about time we have a new Meta TD

I love how people complain about how the game is being ruined by tanks with this kind of armour. Personally I find it logical that you cannot always kill a tank head-on. You'll need to use tactics to kill a tank like this (like the ELC, send over a light tank to hurt it, flank it, arty it, etc). The thing that I personally feel like they need to keep in mind is the DPM. Which feels balanced because of the reload time. Wait untill it is dry and flank it because it is so slow.

This tank has a awkward traverse speed and turret, so you have to try and get its side. If you get it’s butt, it’s dead.

This kind of tank is the tank I can say have identity crisis kind of tank, like it is a TD, but it play and really can play as heavy, even better than heavy sometime, it's fun but sometimes it's weird, just like playing the sheridan, yes I'm a light, but it's very good for damaging.

I'm wondering. Nowadays, what's the ratio of tech tree vs premiums, by tiers? You could make a video on that.

This tank is perfect as it is,, like the Iron Arnie … only play these 2 tanks at the moment

16:16 low velocity 106.000 Pound shells seem quite uneffective against the vipera.

That’s cool and all. But did y’all see the plate thickness on that mid plate?

QB does your commander in that tank have 14 SKILLS?

Whatever magic this tank once had seems to have worn off. I had one on rental and pretty much everything at Tier 8 penned me from the front. My guess is that, having sold enough of these, there are stealth nerfs, or simply that everyone has learned the weak points. Not fun.

28:10 that gold ammount of shells is pretty normal for me, nearly every round looks like that

QBs face when he talked about deaf people 😆😆😆

Remember when being an auto loader was novel? I don’t really like the fact that there are so many now.

event the tech tree ones have kinda brutal armor xD

Driving to work, New QB? Let's go

WG doing the dont make a hull down tank challenge (impossible).

Idk if its just me but whenever I play this tank the armour just falls apart and the gun trolls .e so hard even with vents , gun laying drive improved aiming

QB should hit a million subs by end of 2022 👇

Sure adding more hull down tanks so that tier 6 and 7 tank has a hard to penetrate even with the HE .... (T-34-85, T-43, KV-13, Panther 1, VK 30.02 DB, with derp guns memes ...)

with all the strong frontal tanks i’m actually really missing arty being in the game. makes games so stale when the game play is just tanks unable to pen each other and sitting infront if one another :/

i bbq this thing in my S1 yesterday

Like you said, this is a beat on T8, but on the other hand has no armor against T9/10 and no good pen

Odd. It is not for sale in the NA store?

Shout out to that chad ELC

Quickybaby's editing software finished rendering a video in the background: 4:45 💀

Me *in my best T110E3 voice*: come at me!
