I've been using one of the ussr casemates with the 122mm cannon and I noticed the HE round can kill basically anything with a shot to the bottom of the turret, from pretty much any side. You can onshot panthers, tigers, jumbos etc with overpressure, without worrying about volumetric.

That confrontation at 12:03 where you ate a shell while simultaneously smiting your attacker was so cool to watch. When that gun is on, it's on. And whatever it's aimed at is pulverized. Your reaction time was wicked fast LoL! Seems that armor wasn't too bad, eh?

From what I've read this T-44-122 has an early production prototype hull. The T-44 prototype with the 85mm might make for a decent tech tree vehicle as a 6.0/6.3 gap filler between the T-34-85 and the regular T-44.

T-44-122 is without a doubt my favorite looking tank ever second to the American T34. First premium I really ever enjoyed playing have to play it like a glass cannon but man is it satisfying when it connects

I haven’t heard the infinity bomb for a while but round about a month ago I heard it almost every match

Oddbawz id love to see you play the IS-2, more specifically the (1944) variant, for no particular reason other than it looks cool

Iv been having that infinite bomb dropping sound happen to me for the last couple of weeks.

I feel like the 122 is and isn't disappointing, at 6.3 its usable but you have to rely on map knowledge to effectively use it as "fire support" kind of, as going solo is just a death sentence less you kill on every shot and only encounter 1v1 situations, as you have to rely on your team during reloads. BR-471D is where its at to be honest (which the T-44-122 doesnt get) as it at least reliably pens for me and kills in one shot most of the time. I have, to this day (after 9 years of WT) stayed away from the T-44-122 as I think the T-34-100 can be more effective at the same BR. The 122mm D-25T is good until its not, any where past 1.0+ BR uptier and it starts to struggle frontally less you have BR-471D. I love the 122m D-25T but it tends to have its issues like the reload just to name one and Volumetric to name another. IF you miss or Non-pen... Pray they don't push you or that they bounce.

Back in the last summer, I needed a medium tank for my soviet 6.3 line up and after much hesitation between this one and the T-34-100, I went for the later after seeing you playing it and reading a few reviews of it. Now, watching you playing the T-44-122, I'm glad I selected the other. I wasn't that good on the T-34, but I would have had an abysmal performance on the T-44. I'm not the best shot, so that 30 sec reload would have killed me. And I wouldn't have enjoyed it either. At least, I enjoyed the T-34-100 and an overall very fun time playing it despite having a barely positive kill/death ratio on it. It's not mysterious why the soviet decided to drop the 122mm gun as a medium tank gun. It's just completely unpractical for such tanks. I had a decent experience with the 122mm on the IS-2 with a considerably shorter reload, but I just find that for what you get, the 100mm D-10 is just way better 9 times out of 10. The reload just reduces a lot its advantages at least until you to those tanks which have a much shorter reloads with it like the IS-6 or the very impressive SU-122-54.

snagged one in the winter sale for not many pounds and it's turned into one of my fave tanks for a lot of the same reasons as the T20 fast, maneuverable, just enough armor, just enough gun you can't be as ridiculously aggro as you can in something like the T20, and the shit depression means it's a bit map dependent, but it's still great fun, and good games always feel properly earned DISCLAIMER: I got to rank 98 playing exclusively Britain and France, ~3000 games, before i picked up a Chi-Nu II and discovered APHE was kinda cool... I might have slightly fucked standards for tanks XD

Im playing the US tech tree around the 6,7 BR and the T34 and Super pershings have 16 seconds reload. They've sorta taught me not to be so aggressive and take my time while playing. Also to aim better...

So essentially, it's KV-85, IS-1, T-34, T34-85, where you think it has armor but in reality every single gun can kill you in your own tier frontally without aiming for weak spots, just "Oh FINALLY, IS-1, I can finally take more than 1 shot before dying" *gets shot in the turret cheek/cupola, gets his entire crew knocked out instantly* these 4 tanks summarised
