ok i agree witht he latter parts, but bouncing with the WTe100 was ALWAYS a very lucky and unreliable proposition. I dont think i ever bounced a shot on mine after hundres o battles. So much so in fact good players would usually peak sideways or even with their rears. You could indeed bouce if a very bad player with a low pen tier 8 without gold shoot your hull, but everybody and their mothers would just shoot the turret with HE anyways.

It was never all that strong, it was rather rare to bounce stuff... Also hard to miss that massive birdhouse of a turret. It could piss off players or the user, yes. It could work really well and pull off crazy stuff when all the starts aligned, yes. But USUALLY it was very, very average

@@mkzhero Funnyly enough, WG removed the td when it was packing 47% average wr, which shows that it wasn't breaking the MM like the Bobject, Chieftain or 279E have been doing for years.

It was usually panic shots then ( back in the day ) , as you'd nearly always meet the enemy Waffle end game when pushing enemy base + you were usually ( and some of your team mates ) down to " fartable " , then this POS Waffle would appear !! 🤕

No. You kids have terrible memory. Waffle had way better mobility. Way better gun handling. Clipping on the move was np and there are several clips of this especially in like murovanka through the forest. This was a 128 gun that had 6 shells / 3360 alpha total for 560 per shell on a 2s intraclip for 50s reload. The armor was not trivial and you could easily use the lower armor to bait shots in city maps. It had base 400 or 420 view range. I mean... The version here has : nerfed HP, >200% worse gun handling (at one point nerfed by like 200% and then another nerf), track and turret traverse nerfed, less shells per clip, view range nerfed, hull armor nerfed. Just from what I recall. What you see today is a shadow of what the waffle was... It was a true wtfpwnmobile and would still be quite competitive.

Same, never saw it in 20 games

Maus yada e-100 alsan her 3 savaşta bir çıkıyor halbuki...

i saw 2 on either team on pork today

Yeah. I never bothered playing with it last year. It just sat rusting in my garage.

One of the reasons Wargaming originally removed the WT was that it was almost entirely a fabrication. Combine that with the fact that some players did _very_ well in it meant that there were a lot of people clamoring for this "fake" tank to be removed and replaced with something more realistic and balanced, hence the introduction of the less exciting Grille. You'll note that the FV 183 ended up being taken out of its tech tree and replaced as well, with the much more fragile FV 4005 taking its place, though the 183 occasionally becomes available for sale. In the current meta, the WT E 100 isn't much to write home about, but back when it was first introduced it was king and embodied everything wrong with Wargaming's design philosophy. Outrageously overpowered fake tanks made to get players to race up tech trees by spending excessive amounts of free XP, credits, and gold.

@@DovahFett I dont see it as more fake than most. The hull existed, the autoloader 128mm gun existed (mounted on AA bunkers), so it was a plausible tank on my book. That being said if the tank was removed because some cry babies said it was OP and/or unrealistic, well we can give it to WG that they indeed listens to players feedback. Maybe thats also why the maps are getting more and more corridor? Fun fact, the grille back when it was released was outrageously good. So much so a lot of players didnt even complained their WT was replaced by the grille (me included) The grille was leagues better than the nerfed version of the WT. A shame it dint took too long for WG to nerf the grille. It used to be pretty much a medium tank with a 150mm sniping and snapshoting gun. WG made it a pure sniper with the nerf.

Considering the damage it can pump out, the average damage for last years rental battles was surprisingly low

@@clivedinosaur8407 i wouldnt say surprisingly because of current WoT corridor maps. Even the unerfed god tier WT with its 6 shots wouldnt perform well in todays WoT.

Most of the Tanks in WoT are "Fake". Only exist on Paper...@@vampirecount3880

Yeah, I'm sometimes surprised that some players in wot can actually think.

Even as tier 9 it was fun... Until they nuked HE. And yeah, its really underpowered now if anything, especially with the nerf, heck even back then it was kind of underpowered, sure it can ruin one or two tank's games if he plays all the cards right... But it was SOOO rare it'd hit everything, and SOO boring and yet hard to play its insane. I used to really enjoy farming those on my lvl 6 HE VK light lol, see when its empty and just rush it. And you're wrong, part of the problem REALLY IS that people learned to play, but that's not just that, its that maps turned to shit corridors and hull down crap, new tanks are faster too, and all the new equipement boosts, also the infinite repair kits and medpacks let people risk and recover, while before if you where hit without it, you'd get crippled for the rest of the battle unless you had the skills to somewhat negate that (ace of all trades, armorer...)... Also we had HE to hold people back even if they did have armor. Now you can't do shit against goldspam hull down unicums, and nowhere to go on those shit maps, no time to do it either because thanks to them the games are all down to seconds... There's also no bushes and less hiding spots, the old maps used to have more, so you had more chance to retreat and/or hold the enemy

@@mkzhero fully agree with corridors, but hull downs where all the time. Tanks with good gun depression and turret armor was always the key to go ridge lines, look at the t29 its still not bad tank, but its powercreeped very much. The japanese td 7 is way more better than all other tanks in t7(as an example). As usual im not playing lower than 8 and im not purple unicum or anything to show very great stats, but i played almost 50k games in 10 years. HE mechanics, sure is the thing. Like in novadays, as an example, if You drive patriot or t32 and meet 279ebola, what should You do? Go around? Shoot HE? I can add a lot of similar examples. The old mechanics was a bit better(still not perfect) because of possibility to do some damage with HE shels. The powercreep is very big thing. Top tanks are so much better than tech tree. And like i said: "Everyone learned how to play? I dont think so.." its not the problem. If people did learned to play we would not have 15 to 5 sim 9/10 games. ;)

Tank speeds have steadily increased and autoloaders are prevalent which causes matches to swing quickly

@@Saulius.G well except old tanks at least had weak spots... And sure it wasn't perfect, but you definitely still had your options and could do well enough in most situations or at least SOMETHING with HE before the enemy took the engagement to you, but because that'd mean pushing, even if they're op you have the advantage due to weakening them with HE... No infinite repair kits also meant you could permatrack them easily enough, so people would think twice before bumrushing in many situations. So yeah, they both learned how to play better and the rules changed in the favor of snowballing and steamrolling. 5-15's? Well, if you have not a single good tank and a full team of reds, orange and yellows on one team, maybe with the exception of one green-unicum player (who still might be playing something average), and the other has great tanks, AND a bunch of greens and unicums, how else do you expect it to go? All the old things that could slow down or stop steamrolls are gone, and the matchmaker is as stupid as ever, not balancing by players nor tank power, of course it'll speed up and go this way.

@@mkzhero when they nuked HE i was happy, because i hated all the line of japanese HT, now after the nerf that line was abbandoned, like the KV2, T49, but they nerfed too much that mount the HE is just a loss of money.

All the deathstars and FV4005s are screaming in joy each time this event comes up lol

Game's been broken for like 2 years now lol

yeah. Even in its most overpowered state it wouldn't do much in 2023 wot. There's so many tanks that can fuck this shit up. Starting with Chieftain loading HE. EBR would shreds it aswell. Heck, even a BZ-176 can be dangerous. Not mentioning that the average battle is like 3 min long at best so you won't be able to do much with that 50 sec reload time

This game is broken since 2017. Nothing would change.

contact wg support or they may steal your crew

Just make it as collector tank. No sane player will pay or grind for this thing in an assembly shop

Skliiiieeeelllll have played it many times to watch older videooooo

@@bellum_7997 the tank havent changed one bit since. Good amour, okay mobility, okay camo and view, mediocre gun handling but alfa feels nicer than 140.

@@benjaminpedersen6345 it's nice to see how it holds its ground against meta

It's a waste, because it only reduces damage from non-penetrating HE Shells. so It's not useful on Paper Tanks

The primordial Waffle terrified me in my sleep

Lol if that’s their plan for the next well deserved reward, I’d damn near piss myself

@@_MrBread I would actually piss myself 🗿

And funny thing that wouldn't even be the most broken tank in the game since BZ 176 exists

yeah probably going to see it in the black market sooner or later. i mean there is this stylish WT 12 with special camo that sits in the gamefiles for years now. because its a premium on the asia server

the thing is nothing got changed much about this tank. its just over the last few years everything else got broken to the same level 😂

Yeah, it's broken and stupid but not overpowered. The cobra is much more annoying and dangerous imo.

You most likely would shoot like once or twice, get spotted, then farmed by a Chieftain with HE. Basically this thing is a worse FV4005 which says a lot since FV isn't Meta by any means.

​@@brolysupersaiyan1634u basically just described current grille 15 playstyle. U shoot once and ur shitty cammo rating(worse than Ho-Ri 3 btw) will ensure u are spotted by anyone with decent view range and focus fired to oblivion.

i mean, when u get slapped by FV because you peak badly. or just drive out in the open. its entirely your fault, i never hold it against an FV player when he penshots me. same goes for the waffle. you see in the video how much preperation it takes for this tank to actually make his clip count

Well done since 50 battles is max you can get.

@@menfaaanda not sure if mechanics are different on Asia server, but the article on asia portal says that any reactivation of Engineers Gate (i.e. reroll) will grant you one rented battle in the Waffenträger auf E 100

OK on EU it's limited to 50 battles/account.@@clivedinosaur8407
