Yeah, totally true. When I saw that new survival equipment I knew It was perfect and fully designed for the obj. 780 (NFT tank), but I felt it's somewhat "balanced" becuase you don't get that special bonus of the improved config (saving yoy from a fire), BUT is still very powerful and unnecessary for the game (more hp and module protection). Although the one that scares me is the turbo+stab equipment, currently you use turbo and vstabs, but with that new exp turbo, you go faster and still get some stabilization, that's just bs from WG. And as QB says, Jimmy, new players and many more will not be able to keep with this new race for improving the tank (it's hard enough to get bond equipment and grind your field mods). I personally have my T54 mod 1 with improved config, because the ammo rack amd fuel tanks are weak and I get that save from 1 fire or ammo explosion; but if that comes out... I will really consider if changing that for the new survival exp equip. And the new turbo+stab would be ver useful for my ST-II or for those Maus, E100, Amx M4 and slow HTs users. I don't play this game that much (i don't like to, becuase the teams are so weird these days😔; the new meta is just nonsense; many people like me don't have enough time to be playing all day long) and I can say to get these new things will be complicated.

it is waaaaay easier for new players now, 6 or 7 years ago it was a pain (enjoyable pain). Also happened everything u pointed, but even harder, nowadays u get premium days here and there, for example. But I understand it is overwhelming with such a lot of things they've added and keep adding... if u ask me, a veteran, I'd say they killed the game long time ago (basically they made it into a not so original game, fast paced, etc..) but I guess everything needs an end, and also I understand the game cant keep the same for +10 years.

I was in High school back in 2013 when I first played wot, the reason I keep coming back is for the sake of nostalgia. But if they keep putting more items/components and make it complicated is a no no for me. I love it simple, choose a tank to grind on equip 3 equipments with their specialised function and start playing random battle. Not this kind of scientific experimentation that somehow I feel that I might screw something up along the way.

Not a big fan of yours, not a hater either, but this was explained so well, and eloquently, and smart, and everything is on point. I mean, I gave up tryharding and don't care too much about the state of the game, which is not so great, still play and like occasional good games, but this is not what this game needs. GJ

It used to be possible to avoid this kind of problem by just playing T6/7. Now of course there will be "super" tanks at those tiers. Especially T6 tanks balanced by stats that can be totally fixed by these new items.

So much love for how QB will always be honest even though WG is his mainly income. I admire this behaviour and wish you could find it more in this world! Keep it up QB!

Totally agree! Trying to grind a crap tier 8 against more overpowered tier 10’s is going to make me not bother playing the game anymore

Nice said. I believe WG is not interested /counts on new players, but only to milk the existing ones. Maybe because they don't believe that the game has a future, and they try to grab what they can while they can. I personally am disappointed, I play less and less, most of my friends have given up, and as an average player I don't enjoy playing anymore.

The problem with attracting new players is that World of Tanks and similar games are VERY niche. They can court new players as hard as they want, but eventually, the market for players who would even consider the game dries up. In my opinion, this happened around 5 years ago. Now, the only option is to continue to encourage dedication from the dedicated players with more attempts at endgame content.

Thank you, QB. I definitely agree with you on all your points. I especially resonated when he made mention about newer players that are coming into the game in the future and having to face veteran players with buffed af tanks and equipment who simply want to enjoy the game and simply wish to know more about it. By capitalizing on this experimental gear that Wargaming is inevitably going to release and make available in the game, it just creates this chasm between new players (or older players who haven't played the game in a long time and simply wish to come back and have some fun) and the consistent, veteran players who have been playing ever since. There would be a near impossible way to bridge that gap and these players that are both just coming into the game and/or revisiting the game would face players with tanks that are just absolutely ridiculous across the entire board from durability to speed to reload to accuracy, and so on. QB is absolutely right, this is just outrageous.

could be interesting with weaker equipment that could give bonus to credits earned or something. that way new players wouldn't be at disadvantage in terms of gear and good players could opt for earning credits or something else rather than making the best tank.

It's all about getting players to play more hours of the game. The more time you spend in the game the more money you spend. And of course they'll dangle it out there that you can just pay to get it.

That's totally understandable. There are so many layers of "now add THIS THING to your tanks to make the EVEN BETTER!" that have been added over the years that you almost need a user manual just to learn how set things up properly.

Also Skill was talking about his fears that it is pay to win, if components are in the Holiday boxes. You made some excellent points here, thank you for the video.

When I first touched the game 8 years ago, the equipment system was simple. Everyone could put everything on the tank, fair play. I stopped playing for almost 6 years and came back just recently because I randomly stumbled across your stream during work break on a coworkers PC. I made a fresh account because why not, I have to relearn mechanics anyway. But I'm simply overwhelmed by the stuff going on in the game: missions, free premium membership (I haven't payed a dime just yet, but was nearly 70% of the time on a premium account), secondary missions, season passes, 3 types of equipment, a gazillion premium vehicles and now this. If I were a completely new player, not knowing about the tech tree, different vehicle types and some helpful KZreadrs, I'd be completely lost and I guess that having fun would be really hard (especially with lower tier matches being half bots and at least one seal clubber that has 2k games 70% winrate in their tier 3 vehicle).

Like QB mentions, the gap between Veteran players and new players becomes larger and larger. I personally would not recommend WoT to any of my gaming buddies even though I'd love to play it with them. The sheer amount of grinding in this game is just to crazy these days. I'm honestly suprised that they are still finding new players that stay for more than a couple hundred matches.

One of the biggest points to be made and one that WG has evidently not cared about for years. You won't convince me there is a single person playing this game that would honestly try to convince their friends to play it with them.

Good vid QB. I do like new additions to the game, that’s why you can play for 9 years and keep on tanking. However, QB makes the best points on this. I would hate staring from scratch in tanks now.

Power creep and credit pits, that's most of WOTs strategy now. It used to be power creep through new premium tanks but the player base had really started to complain about that so they switched it to equipment, especially bond equipment, then they put in Field Modifications, and now this. Every good step WG takes it seems that its only to give them cover to implement things which are bad steps. They put out so many changes, so many events, yet it takes them years and years to put out a new map, to balance an OP or underperforming tank. They just want people to grind, grind, grind, but that is modern gaming, take the fun out of it and turn it into a grind fest.

How bout consumables expansion that could also be physically seen on the models.. Disposable turret spaced armour (Negatives on rotation speeds and aim speed) Disposable side skirts -enough to stop over matching if your tank has this issue. (Negatives being you are slower or worse ground traverse) External ammo rack stowage- tanks with low ammo issues (negatives that you get racked more) Etc etc

I'll never feel the effects of bond and experimental equipment because gold rounds and new premiums already trash me enough as is. When a tank without weakpoints starts putting holes through the turret, I don't stop and think, "hmmm.... I wonder what turbo they have equipped."

To "balance" the Exp Eqp at least a bit, each of the individual stat on a piece of the maxed out EXP EQP needs to be LOWER/WORSE than the same stat on the equivalent REGULAR version of the equipment. For example the HP bonus is 10% on the "Normal" equipment - Improved Hardening, when placed in the Survivability slot. So in the new Survival Improvement Suite, when upgraded all the way to T3, its HP bonus needs to be less than 10%. And if the Exp Eqp has more stats combined, the amount of reduction of each of the stat needs to be more. So now players do have to make a choice, do they want more and different stat being boosted in a single equipment, or if they want to have fewer different stat being boosted, but for the stats they want, they get a bigger boost.

My first reaction looking at the thumbnail was the Tsunami Tank 2ndary ability from RA3

Good points. Especially the one about putting the best equipment on the Maus :]

Hey Quicky, this is the reason why I rush into every battle not caring weather we win or loose as there is no benefit for me to spend or grind for the upgrades.

so many good points as always , great video , i totally agree

You’re right. This game is fast becoming a game for either professionals or people stuck in their mums basement! I play maybe 10-20 games a week if that to mainly chill. Happy to buy premium and spend some cash because I work to earn, you know, money. This game is fast becoming not the game for an average person just wanting some fun and an hour to chill before getting back to kids, wife, life, work. Maybe I need to find something else to do.

Casual player here. I work 10 hour shifts, 5 days a week, and only been playing for about 2 years. Learning the game and grinding to my first T10 was brutal. Win rate was 45% during that time when I even learned what that was and where to check. It’s sucks to want to play a game and have fun to relax on my 1 day to play only to meet a reward tank that you know is tricked out and only shoots gold. I already feel I cannot compete and it’s been a struggle to get above 50% win rate considering the learning curves and grind of that first year. No way I can even dream of having this new equipment in any way that will be impactful for me.

It will be crazy if they have directives for the experimental equipment items.

Good video QB. Some really good points.

You can argue that if the equipment can be improved or combined, the directives can too. Experimental equipment with improved directives and you will have an even better performing tank that will consume bonds to renew the directives. If you won't need the bonds for bond equipment, then that will free up some funds to drip away during each battle. You have to admit that it's clever that they invented a new resource just to make you spend the previously rare currency more easily.

Agree in everything you say, QB. I have said it before. WG sees the dawn of the game and hence they can become more and more short-sighted in their "great news", as they stipulate that the game does not really recruit much to new players anyway, instead focusing milking the one they know will pay up. Of course that core of players will go down. We have seen very prominent content creators on KZread raging over WG and publicly quit the game. But since milking works, milking we will.

I think if WG continues with this approach it adds more to the argument that QB has made before: "Why do we have stock tanks in the game?" With this new equipment the disparity between a stock tank and a decked out experimental bond tank is MASSIVE.

I agree. I like playing a lot of tanks from tier 6 to 10.Might have to think about changing games after 10 years of tanks.

A little more value on bonuses for matching the right Category of equipment would be nice. It's so silly just slapping Improved equipment like Turbo on a Superheavy's Survivability slot

If someone mounted the combo (Hardening/Improv Config) could they also mount the seperate Hardening and Improved Config? Not SHOULD they but COULD they?

My respect for the video! Your opinion is so true QB!

I love how they are adding more gear that is event locked when not all of us can play said events. I wasn't able to do a single game of onslaught because it was time gated during a certain time of day when I couldn't play meaning I couldn't get the bounty from it.

I only have about 20 pieces of bond and bounty equipment as it is. Expecting you can equip each tank with a full set of it is for those with too much spare cash to give to WG

If WG wants to try a new angle that's fine. I just wish they would put more into something that could generate more of a random terrain enhancement to their maps. Same ole maps, same ole push points, defend points, snipe points etc

I got my first tier 10 tank recently, and have played around 2,5k games so far and I dont have a single piece of bounty equipment, let alone bound. As far as I can tell, the gap just grows.

Totally agree with you, QB

Great this will make my E3 track repair 1.2 seconds

wonder if bond equipment are now fully available, like the turbo

Spot on. Kudos.

First of all. Awesome video as usual. Second, Soo.... Just another grind-fest for those who actually work for a living and play on occasion... Nice! This game has done nothing but become more difficult for those who actually have a life. I am not a very good player in the game, I often struggle with trying to figure out how to outfit a tank and spec a crew out. This is just going to make the game a nightmare for people like me. I am probably going to be done with this game at this point. No sense in just getting farmed by better players with almost indestructible tanks.

how do you get the components to make the experimental equipment to break it down so you can make the experimental equipment? The lunar year missions are up but I cant figure out how to even get started

I agree with u Qb, tbh with u I already feel like I can't keep up with the current meta.

Completely Agree with you on this QB. I myself am only a 3 year vet (With a 13 month gap for Sanity and Life Goals) and I don't even USE the 2nd slots option because not all of my tanks have 3 filled slots. Only the MOST played tanks of mine have all the extra super duper configuration bonuses. I mean, what player can spend 200,000k experience on a tank after reaching tier X?!? I have other tanks to....grind, and grind, and grind

Brilliant as ever QB ! I'm with you on this ! Instead of complicating the game they should make more maps because I'm sick and tired of playing again and again on these old maps ... even the new one Outpost seems old because I know almost every bush on it. Or maybe they will make a game mode with PVE like Armored warfare with story and characters and not game modes that are on a arms race timed and making people struggle keeping the ranks. I want Steel Hunter to be parmanent in the game not two weeks per year ... I want fun !

I already absolutely love that experimental equipment. I would also like to have flying tanks, and be able to teleport them through the map, or even between battles. What say you?😅

Preach QB! The effect on new players isn't a hypothetical either. We're already experiencing the pain with gold spam, mandatory food, large kits, bounty and bond equipment, crew skills and OP reward tanks. I would also like to add that these problems are not reserved to just new players. Everyone who can't whale and can't commit thousands of hours to the game is hurt by this and everything else I mentioned above. WG needs to level the playing field. The core gameplay is why I still play WOT 8 years later. I want to beat players with knowledge and skill. Most of us have jobs, families and lives that prevent us from committing this much to a single game. I see the same tactics across the pond with WOWS. WG knows player numbers are dwindling, so they try to blackmail and punish us in an attempt to make us play more. Want me to spend more time playing? RESPECT MY TIME THEN!

I lost my 7 year account and started back up In 2020 and i see what's happening now Qb is saying all of this and it's happening as he speaks QB your the best thanks for trying to make the game a better place and it's sad that people are making jokes that wot is pay to win man tanks was some what better back then

It's been like a year and a half since I've played, I've been stuck in wot blitz playing the fv215b 183 lol

Stuck playing premium Cold War vehicles on wot console

Hes the best to explain stuff and he’s got some solid points on saying it’s not fair for new players I think they shouldn’t bring those equipments in the game

I thought these were going to be in an additional slot like the directives that you could grind on a tank to make it a better specialist not in place of existing stuff.

after a year of not playing WoT, i almost decided to play it again. after seeing this video, i don't think i'm gonna play it again.

I wonder can you use this equipment and a regular one that gives more hp so that a maus has around 4000 hp

Thank you for your statement QB, couldn't agree more. Just started playing again and this makes me want to stop again

I had to laugh, the CC said welcome back to water tanks.

Im a new player and I agree with you, I want to play tanks, but even with a premium account, its so hard to get stuff I want. Especially equipment.

I think they could make the experimental have some weaknesses, such an experimental turbo could make you go even faster but your accuracy is worse.

Love u QB u nail this. Wargaming need start thing out of box not pushing game bad direct all the time.

I'm going to use bond Improved Configuration with Improved Survival on my T95 when I upgrade IS once more lol

Can you stack the Durability module and the Experimental Survivability module?

This will make the diference betwen ftp players and p2w waay bigger. This pieces of equipement need to be EASY TO OBTAIN like personal reserves or added to the x2 frist win of the day + 100 components for example, then this would be easy for EVERYONE to get, not just the P2W and hardcore gamers. But honestly i think WG adds these components in christmas boxes or impossible missions for the normal player. I Cant wait to see a 279e with all those equipements vs T8 stock tech tree tanks.

If you are free2play player then what use ate you to the game. Wargaming is a company and its target is to make profit.

Honestly one of my favorite things about this game was how simple it was. But now it's just getting too much 😶

Right it's one thing that a smaller less favored creator in the space to have a rant but somone who is obviously in there good graces..obviously a figure for there company yet still he is honest. True to the game the love of this game we all play some of us for 10 years + and he even with the gifted status he has still holds no punches. I love quickybaby. Your the type of creator we need to hold our voice in the ears of those that have a hand in how it plays out..great video..great guy. And remember don't play world of tanks unless the only new vehicle you want in your life is one in your world of tanks garage . Lol

I put max durability on Maus and it still has more Hp with bond hardening with all the field mods.

I was about to say this would be really nice to have if it’s easy to get for new players making newer players more in par with seal clubbers by giving new players access to the strongest equipment. But then you said events and my mind went straight to ranked which is really sad because everyone I play with doesn’t have anything they can play in ranked. I’m the only one out of my play group that can and all I have is a maus and a derp barn. And I’m not great at the game so I’m just never gonna get this equipment, I’ll always be outmatched when I try in the future, ranked will likely never be an option for me unless I get some broken tank, get good, get a good crew, and chunk a bunch of bounty stuff on it. Which unfortunately is nearly impossible for me to do within even the next year. How can new players expect to do any of this? I’ve had my account for 7 years but everyone else I play with has had their account for less than a year. They’ll never have this equipment which makes me sad, they’ll stand even less of a chance at higher tiers than before and it was already looking pretty grim.

can you cobine taht foe exaple turbo + that oder ger and noral turbo>?

Thanks for this great vidéo 😉 Completely agree with you !!

At this point they should add a 4th modul slot with some limitations according to the tank class.

You make good point.

nicely said. I hope WG listens but im guessing they will go forwards with this to further monetize Holiday Ops + other loot boxes in the future.

Spot on. Once again the gap between great players and everybody else gets wider and wider

All this will do is further the pain a casual player already feels playing this game. WG needs to go to skill based MM not just matching tanks.

That would be really cool to grind if I had just five tanks

Well said! There shouldn't be any bond or bounty equipment either in my opinion. What should exist though is a wide variety of normal equipment, hybrid equipment that makes you think about different options. I feel like they are heading towards the gameplay where you have already lost if the enemy team got X tank. Balancing for the sake of balancing rather that changing the meta... but a lot of people don't agree with that for some reason.

Oh great, even more disparity between player vehicles. gotta feel sorry for the f2p players out there trying to grind stock tanks when faced with even more unbalanced gameplay, it's getting beyond absurd now XD

Do the bond equipment and the experimental equipment combine?
