World of Tanks: Strategy Series - Ep. 16 - T29

[TheGeoRaptor]

how? how do you do so damn well in this tank? you earned 70k more xp than me in the same amount of games. i need another 130 battles to get out of this. guess the difference is i took 73matches to get the 105.

i only want the t32, not even trying for t34 or t30.

well thanks for the great series

[dungeongurunet]

@TheGeoRaptor I think I had a lot of this tank unlocked from the M6 when I bought it, so I didn't have to play as many games before I got the 105.

[F1zzzy90]

@TheGeoRaptor they are switching out the T34 and T30 next patch... T30 will be an American TD and the T34 will be a premium

[MegaRaikou]

um how do you highlite enimes like that in game showing stats and stuff is it a mod?

[dungeongurunet]

@MegaRaikou Over Target Markers gives the information when I hit the alt button. You can find a link to it on my channel page.

[TopBurnOut]

im a pz38na thats keep being put in teir 5,6,7 and somtimes 8 i hate it

[dungeongurunet]

@TopBurnOut Yep the game is putting you in as a scout tank.

[moosenugget7]

Hey, so i just put on the upgraded turret and i think i have some advice to people who don't want the upgraded turret... DO IT (unless you WANT to be at a disadvantage). If you've paid attention to detail, you'd notice that the RoF (rate of fire) on the 105mm gun with the old turret is 5 rounds per second but with the upgraded turret it's 6 rps. IDK i just got the turret on so idk if it's a glitch or what... but if it's true then wouldn't that be awesome!

[dungeongurunet]

@moosenugget7 Most upgraded turrets come with a RoF increase. It's just a hidden benefit. Makes the T29 even more insane!

[ScreamingSturmovik]

one thing ppl should start doing is using the cruse bottons (E&C) if you tap it once u loose almost no accuracy and ur still moving when u need to be, and although you seem to be a really good shot i do pretty well not in sniper mode (from the hip lol) just gotta be careful with ur mouse. mine kinda stick sometimes that may help XD

[hboyvn]

Need 14000 exp to get this monster

[MrSmartie109]

I guess you just persuaded to get the t29... it will take me a loooooooooong time propably...

BTW, do you have some tips for the IS? I just got it ;D I've sometimes trouble playing it and I can't wait to unlock that biggest gun. I hope things will go better then xP Nice vids, I watched them all by now (:

[dungeongurunet]

@MrSmartie109 Thanks! I have an IS video (the games are not as good). The IS is better as a flanking heavy, much like the IS-3 and IMO IS-7 (in a tier X game).

[MrSmartie109]

@dungeongurunet Thanks a lot !

[dungeongurunet]

@MrSmartie109 YW! Glad I could help.

[ScreamingSturmovik]

im gonna be starting on my american heavies soon, and i was wondering, i have a T14 prem with a 100% crew and 82% skill, so when i get my M6 should i move the crew to the M6 and get a new 50% or 75% crew for my T14, ill be putting my E2 crew into a T20 (when i get it) cuz i think that cross training take away more xp

[dungeongurunet]

@ScreamingSturmovik Yes x-training does take away more. Move the T14 crew to your M6.

[roboto204]

And personaly I use E8 with m1A2 76 with rammer and stabilizer to make my creds (10k gross av battle non prem) and still love it!!

[roboto204]

I stay with the 90 just due to (and BTW the 90 DOESN'T come form the M6 it comes form the T20) the fact the 105 is 1000 creds per round and the 90MM is a damn good gun LOL

[dungeongurunet]

@roboto204 Check WoT wiki. It can be unlocked on the M6 first, and should be if you're going up that line. I don't have the T20 unlocked at all, actually. I'd still use the 105, but yes only on a premium account.

[F1zzzy90]

here is the main weak point: THE WHOLE FRONT ARMOR

[8710ify]

cool video, maybe some time we can play together my WOT US server name is yoyopeyton

[MadBadger]

Oh lawd... after all that 'durp the weak point is the back, 100hp/50hp ammo rack here, u dont want to expose it' the FIRST thing u did was expose it... I lol'd

[lolitsnealrazavi]

Very cool video. Have subbed and will check out more.

[dungeongurunet]

@lolitsnealrazavi Thanks!

[greenarcher180]

Poor matchmaking. EXCESSIVE DETRACKING.Too many non damaging (failed) shots (75% Tier 1-7 ). Coded (RNG) for failure. Can't choose instances or kick poor players. Excessive "stuck" in terrain. No combat log. Non interactive minimap. Hi tier artillery overpowered. Scouting role suicide. You can buy XP & tier 8 tanks & skip lower levels. Forums censored. Post negative on forum they BAN you. Tier 8-10 play takes cash to break even. PLAY FREE...DON'T PAY.

[TheSaintOfCaprica]

Awesome videos I had been searching for someone who does WOT videos and speaks English. Most all the WOT videos on youtube are in Russian :)

[dungeongurunet]

@TheSaintOfCaprica Thanks man! Check out my partners. They also do WoT in English.

[MarcusCoker1]

The T34 and T30 are being replaced with what?

[dungeongurunet]

@MarcusCoker1 Looks like the M103 and T110.

[267267123]

I am a complete newb to WoT, but I know more than you. You DON'T turn your turret away from an enemy, you should RARELY use a repair kit for a track, and the T29 has very good hull armor for its tier as of 7.0. I bounce tier 7 guns off it. The whole american weak hull stereotype only really counts for the T34 and T30, which are being replaced. Sorry, I just get a bit OCD about correcting people spreading wrongness about WoT.

[dungeongurunet]

@267267123 Hull armor: Tiger 100 mm -> T29 102 mm -> IS 120mm -> Tiger P 200mm. Also turn your turret to fire on an enemy who's hitting your hull if you can 1 shot him. You're turning your turret from one enemy to another. You use a repair kit for a track when you will probably die if you don't (tracked in a street with 3 enemies who haven't fired - tracked in the open with artie zeroed in on you). That info should clear things up!

[AviF]

I might also mention that the 2nd turret is a no brainer upgrade as well, not only because of the view range, but also because it makes the 105mm fire 1 rpm faster (from 5 rpm to 6 rpm). And again, ears don't matter anymore. In fact, it may be better since people will still try to hit them not realizing that they don't do anything, wasting their shot.

[dungeongurunet]

@AviF Yep same for the E-100. Ears are zero damage.

[AviF]

As of 7.0, the ears are no longer weakpoints. You will no damage when hitting them.

Thanks for this guide! I'm up to the M6 myself (fully upgraded) and cannot wait to get this tank!

[KB9813]

just got my T29 and I got the 90mm when I still had my M6 witch I liked got one top gun in it

[treykidz305]

thx for the help i play world of tanks in my gamertag is UsArmyRangers

[dungeongurunet]

@treykidz305 Glad I could help! I put your gamer name on file. Will be hopefully doing more gaming with subscribers soon, so please keep checking the channel!

[yourass117]

@dungeongurunet The ammo costs for the 122mm on IS are crazy if you factor in repair costs as well. What are the costs for 90mm and 105mm on this?- Thanks

[dungeongurunet]

@yourass117 I don't know exactly, but it's less than half. But might as well get used to the higher cost shells. All tanks above have the same issues. You need the 105 on this thing.

[Ken64165]

Since I just got the T32 researched I would ove to see a strat vid on the tank, but of course when your ready to.

[dungeongurunet]

@Ken64165 I actually just got it unlocked too. I'll prioritize it for strategy series.

[Ken64165]

@dungeongurunet thanks.

[1chuckjones]

thanks for the help

[dungeongurunet]

@1chuckjones You're welcome!

[1chuckjones]

hey does anyone hv a good idea of what shell i should use besides gold

plus do u think its a good idea to defend with T29 or go out and fight with the rest

[dungeongurunet]

@1chuckjones I usually just use AP rounds in my heavy tanks. HE if I'm going up against something I can't penetrate. IMO, T29 should be either leading the advance (if you're very close to top tier) or supporting an advance. Defending IMO is more for TDs. ... Actually I don't think anyone should ever defend. The only time I defend is if I have to return to base because one of our lanes collapsed.

[andrewndavis]

which tank do you think is the best for making money? I don't really want to shell out on a premium tank, like a type-59. Just asking this because i'm still bumming along with my su-152 which is really bad for making money.

[dungeongurunet]

@andrewndavis I would use the KV or KV-3. Both are really great tanks for their tier. Basically use any heavy hitting tier 5 or 6. Those are the sweet spot money makers.

[Ken64165]

@dungeongurunet I would also reccomend the ez8 or the Sherman.

[andrewndavis]

@dungeongurunet Thanks for the advise about the KV and KV-3. Shame the T-28 is a heap of ****.

[messerJ4H]

@andrewndavis

I wouldn't put it like dungeon did.

Try German and USA money makers. I suck at playing KV while I make consistent dmg and income on Pz4 and VK3601. Basing on that, I would choose Type 59 over Lowe, bc I prefer mediums.

You will make a best money on a tank that suits your style (or even mood at a given day!). It's nice to have a couple of Tier 5&6 money makers and do a daily double on each of them them everyday. It's more diverse.

[dungeongurunet]

@messerJ4H I agree! Well put, messer.

[andrewndavis]

@messerJ4H I'll try and give US and German tanks a go then. I'm not i can commit to spending real money though, but i have been tempted. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

[messerJ4H]

@andrewndavis:

After 7.1 patch tier 5 and 6 tank destroyers have slighltly better income.

Earning in a T1 HT with 75% crew, ventilation and rammer is very fun, it has more favorable (one tier lower) match maker than other tier 5 tanks (KV). Shermans with a 75mm and 76mm pew-pew gun should be fun also.

[andrewndavis]

@messerJ4H I assume you have a premium tank, I apologise if you if don't. If you do, which would you recommend as the best money maker. I always thought a type-59 would be nice to own, would you agree? What would an average battle make for a tank like the T-59?

[messerJ4H]

@andrewndavis

That depends on what you want to achieve in this game and if real money is a problem for you ;)

If you want to play only on random/companies/platoons with firends: Buy premium account and grind Tier 8 HT (IS-3, KT, T32) and Tier 6 Arty (S-51, GW Panther). By playing KV with 107mm or T1 HT while your main tank is destroyed and still in battle, you will easely make credits for Tier 8 and additional equipment for it (like rammer and vents).

[messerJ4H]

@andrewndavis

If you want to play in clan or have a great garage, then you need a premium tank to keep yourself sane. 6mil per one Tier 10 tank is just harsh to do in KV :D

But if you look at the stats of THE BEST players around, you will see, that most of them played for example: 400 battles with Type 59, AND 400 battles with KV, AND 400 battles with Lowe, AND 300 battles with Sherman. They just need diversity. It's boring to play one tank all the time.

[messerJ4H]

@andrewndavis

If you want to play in tournaments, you need a skill, not credits. Play a lot of battles and push yourself to do >1700 damage per battle in Tier 8 HT (IS-3 for example).

But my final advice is: If you want to have fun, premium status for a month and grinding to Tier 8 or 9 HT (or Tier 9 Medium) is best option.

T-54 is far more deadly and fun to drive than Type 59 and you can use T-54 in clan wars.

[andrewndavis]

@messerJ4H Wow, thanks for all the advice. I do find it gets a bit boring doing battles in my su-152 constantly. I will get a kv then, as i've always wanted one secretly and it will make some money for the isu and object. Thanks again for the advice :D

[messerJ4H]

@andrewndavis

I've meant "try German and USA tanks ALSO" to check which one you like the best.

Also mind that KV-2 income will be slightly lower after HE nerf.

[Bravo22G]

Good review! Cupola is pronounced "Q-PO-LA"

[dungeongurunet]

@Bravo22G Ah thanks! I'll remember that for future vids!

[SgtPwnage72]

I reall y like you guides you do them very well could you possibly do a guide on the m6?

[dungeongurunet]

@SgtPwnage72 I'll look into it. I've already moved on from that tank, but I'll see if I can buy it again and do a strat vid on it.

[jamesx1990]

Great guide!
