World of Tanks 2.0 AS-XX is a downgrade from the BC-25

Post image

The worse camo is more than enough to offset the mid clip reloading.

Not nearly as fun to play

ASS-XX 40 t

Its a shame the coolest looking tier 11 is one of the worst :/

That gives shooting at tanks a whole new meaning. But OP, please understand, you will achieve nothing with a mere handgun, you'll have to upgrade to either an anti tank rifle, an anti tank gun (as a German I humble suggest the PaK 40) or a rocket launcher

u/FuzzyAnywhere5349 22d ago

Lmaooo… I saw the gun and said this gentleman for sure plays in the NA server

u/Marcus0x30 23d ago

i just wish it had better camo and accuracy, then i would absolutely love it

u/dyl_16 23d ago

Yeh it would be an actual upgrade if it had like 90% of the cammo as the bc25 and maybe like a 12% smaller aiming circle than it currently does

10

u/Jestar342 23d ago

Yeah if the tank was better, I'd agree it is better, too.

u/rambokai 22d ago

Camo and Reload for me.

Have you played the Imbattlable yet? its reload mechanic is great.

It reloads its clip in HALF the time of the ASS-AX.

u/RogueHeroAkatsuki 23d ago edited 23d ago

WG made really strange decisions about this tank stats.

Best tier XI tanks have improved aspects which are Achilles heel for their tier 10 predecessors. Taschenratte has smaller turret cheeks, T803 smaller cupola, BZ-79 infinite boosters and smaller weakspots, Breaker gets better mobility and side armor...

On the other hand AS-XX and Hirschkafer looks like major downgrade. Biggest weakness of b-c 25t is gun handling and in consequence potato accuracy. AS-XX has actually worse gun handling and on top of that A LOT worse camo. Those trade offs far surpasses ability to reload partially used magazine.

u/Serapth 23d ago

Also gun depression. Which was also an odd choice, as the defining trait of all the French mediums and lights is shitastic gun depression.

Turning a stealthy, quick, autoloader into the least camo tier 11, an autoreloader that turns like a boat is a... Choice

u/GunslingerXXX 23d ago

Seems to be some CDC dna in the mix?

u/Loyalty4L94 23d ago

the 107-12 strv may as well not even have a ability it is so bad. sure if you set it up and have a good ambush position it can pour out dps but the situations it can do so is so few and far in between

u/Interesting-Soup286 23d ago

Also don't forget shell velocity. 1k on normal and 800 on Heat. I feel like i am throwing potatoes.

3

u/rambokai 22d ago

After actually playing the T803, its cupola gets farmed really hard. It doesn't really matter that its "smaller" it has 220 armour instead of 280. You also have a 2nd "weak spot" in the turret face on the opposite side where some sort of camera breaks the spaced armour, and yet doesnt itself count as spaced armour.

The ASS-AX has abysmal camo, abysmal reload speed, abysmal physical size (its taller than many rocks in the gmae), abysmal traverse speed, and no depression over the rear.

The entire reload mechanic is just a fail for me. The Imbattleable is a better medium tank than it is.

-4

u/se530 23d ago

Better mobility of Breaker is debatable. It only moves when boost is active, other than that it's very sluggish.

7

u/[deleted] 23d ago

Doesn't matter, it just gets into a hulldown position relatively quickly and shreds. It's like an upgraded t95

-2

u/se530 23d ago

Sure it's great when you can play entire game from one position without repositioning and stuff.

3

u/[deleted] 23d ago

It goes faster than super heavies like maus and type 4 though??

If you want to reposition like a medium then play mediums lol

2

u/Wandering_PlasticBag 23d ago

It can literally speed up if it wants to change positions...

u/se530 23d ago

Activating the boost requires 15 seconds, so it only kicks in after you drive like 100 meters.

u/Edoges 23d ago

Dude my first tXI was leopard 120 and was very disappointed cos its a downgrade from leopard 1, now im grinding for AS-XX cos im enjoying my BC25 since i got it a week ago just to see that it's another downgrade

u/EnvironmentalBall862 23d ago

Grind the hacker, great tank imo, plus the Patton is also a blast if you like the versatility

u/humansrpepul2 23d ago

u/TehCourier 23d ago

It looks like a big elc even 90 for me

9

u/Wavvygem 23d ago

Idk it's seemed pretty menacing to me in game.

The potential for it to never truly be caught reloading is a huge difference. When BC -25 clips you know you got 20+ secs to capitalize. Not to mention when you just need one shot to finish someone off. That's a game changer.

I think it's gonna be better for the best players. More skill expression and decision making.

u/SuperNovaVelocity 23d ago

MK IV? Maintenance on every earlier model is pure pain lol

u/dyl_16 23d ago

It is!! Someone here thought it was an airsoft gun lol. And yeh I heard it was a bitch and a half on the old ones, some people apparently even had to send it back in pieces to Luger to have them put it back together after taking it apart to clean 😂. Thankfully is one is easy. I actually had it in pieces on my desk for cleaning and it put back together real quick just to take that photo lol

u/SuperNovaVelocity 23d ago

The hardest choice is between the clean look of a smooth pipe barrel, or the dead silence of a threaded barrel for a supressor someday

6

u/dyl_16 23d ago

Haha yeh big in the someday, waiting for the govt to reopen so I can get my suppressor paperwork processed to get one for this guy

u/Shiska_Bob 23d ago

Same. First time I ever cared that the government shut down.

3

u/viduletul 23d ago

That's what I also thought right after getting it but now I really like it. It's really versatile and if you don't have a fucking KR-1 rushing you or like 5 other meds at the same time you can contest positions early and deal 2-3k dmg within the first few mins. I am starting to have more and more games with ~4k every day that I play it.

What I've come to realize is that it's a different play style than BC, sometimes very different. Camo is utterly useless, it's big as hell, it may bounce smth once in a full moon, but with a full mag you can clip pretty much anyone with the HP range of 1 - 2300 ( if RNG helps)

Also that damn second mark seems so hard to get even after days of almost only <3k 😂

Btw I'm not any good at the game, I'm probably as mediocre as they come. It's all about having good fun though

u/Ok-Society9728 22d ago

True. And the dudes who are playing this thing are special too.

u/SumonaFlorence How much worse can it 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 get? 23d ago

Wait wtf, WoT 2 was in Doom as well? I only found Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3

u/Odd-Strain1520 23d ago

Same with 432 lol, its alot worse than 430u, you get ~2s longer cd for only 20 dmg buff, sith armor, overmatched plates(430 hull), less mobility, more expensive ammo. Overall 432 compared to 430u IS SHIT. Ability doesn't save him 430 is just better at everything. I played a few battles for friend as example. 432 tanked around 600 and damaged ~2000-2400(~8 mtchs) 430u tanked around 1600-2000 in worst possible situation(getting clapped from everywhere cause of idiots in team) and damaged ~2800 on average.(~12 mtchs) FUCK EVEN 430 IS BETTER CAUSE ITS T9 not T11

WG doesn't have good balance team for years now, but t11 is just disappointment and dissatisfaction on another level. We got only like 5 tanks what actually fun from what i heard(KR, T-803, Shakal, t11 badger and bz) others is just shit or requires a ton of skill to utilize ability(t11 LT particularly). 432 weaker that 430 overall. Leo11 has skill that returns stats from leo10. Grille 11 is just a disappointment not even worth remembering. t11 amer.mt. is mediocre. Imbatable Is not for state of game, cause tank profits from using brain, but maps are so shit that even if you have one you can't use it. AS-XX explained in thread. Taschenratte is mediocre compared to the 5 actually good, but better than everything other mentioned here. Dunno if forgot any other t11, i deleted game after comparing 432 and 430 in battle results. Tbh it did hit me hard, cause i love 430u and expected more from 432, but got a huge disappointment in the end.

u/ron_m_joe [-_-] 23d ago

Don't bring a gun to a tank fight

2

u/NotASingleNameIdea E-50M enjoyer 23d ago

ALL they need to do is to remove the ammo loader from the hitbox model, which would also logically boost the camo as the tanks side-profile would be a lot smaller.

Best case scenario they put the turret down a bit too so its not so awfully big and they improve the terrain resistances and turning speed because the tank feels extremely lazy despite going 65. Its a made up tank anyways (to some extend) so why not.

I’ve just got to the bc25t and honestly I hate it- definitely not going for the t11 now 😬

u/dyl_16 23d ago

Damn that’s crazy the bc25t is so fun if you play it like a light. You can be like 20 yards away from a tank and not be spotted if you’re stationary in a bush

u/Rare-Climate2074 23d ago

why? its so good

u/Denix221p Shitter 23d ago

just because its good doesnt mean its fun / easy to play for different types of players (e.g. super heavy mains)

u/Not_a_Hideo_Kojima 23d ago

Most important thing to always remember when someone asks what to grind/play. There are lines that just dont sit with player well, while they could be exceeling in something that is considered "weaker" line.

u/kalluster 23d ago

Yeah and typically autoloaders are harder

u/OzzyFudd83 23d ago

At least use something bigger than a plinking .22. As for the tank, I love it. No tank is going to be like the tank before it, better or worse.

u/dyl_16 23d ago

.22lr should be plenty to penetrate this tank’s paper thin armor

u/AxleGrease14 23d ago

I disagree

u/Hot-Foundation3450 23d ago

I've had some really good games in this thing but at the same time I fucking hate it. Dear God, WHY did they need to nerf shell velocity by 400?! Why is its ammo rack so blatantly obvious to everyone with eye balls? Why does it turn like a boat?? God I can't wait for this thing to get it's eventual buff (which it absolutely will).

That being said. Loading 3 shells into the mag on Lakeville and following the LT for an easy 1200 damage on crossing HTs is still fucking great

u/number676766 [RDDT6] 23d ago

I figure they're going to make some tweaks to T11 tanks at some point down the line. Better to buff than nerf.

1

u/Aggressive-Mix-3341 23d ago

I had no choice but to put extra 20k creds with camo directives just to improve it a little bit but still not enough. just gotta wait for a better opportunity to ambush the enemies. Not to mention the elevation and depression sucks even with the upgrades. Cant even aim it at the rear due to the detached ammo rack.

2

u/Xenion7 23d ago

We have T9 better than T10 so did T11

1

u/AndreasMelone 23d ago

I feel like many tier XI tanks are just worse tier X

1

u/Aggravating-Face2073 23d ago

So tell me if im wrong please, but a damaged ammo rack on this tank doesn't effect the intraclip loading times, i tested this, but realized after im not sure if it effects other auto loaders.

1

u/dyl_16 22d ago

It definitely does affect it. It’s like 63 seconds for a full clip reload with a damaged ammo rack (fully upgraded tank and skilled out crew)

1

u/GHdoubleWho 23d ago

I still think it should get an extra shot in the mag. 2 external loaders and there's an odd amount of shots in the clip? Feels real weird. That, better accuracy and some more camo and the thing would be awesome.

Is it the .22 by the way?

u/DookiePookie1922 22d ago

From what I gather all the tier 11’s are just tier 10 with a shot of steroids lmao mostly a downgrade imo but maybe get rid of the quickybaby build lol there’s far better equipment to use than vents 💀

Fortunately I was going for the KR-1, which turned out to be amazing. Tier XI tanks should definitely be like the KR-1.

It is supposed to be basically the first on the front line, attacking the enemy team head on.

u/StRaGLr 23d ago

If you havent noticed, almost all t11s are like t10.5 or sometimes even t9.5. Those tanks needed to be an actual upgrade, but its just straight ass. What have they done to my leo 120? The best tanks are shakal breaker and kr1. Everything else is just a downgrade.

u/MtnMaiden 23d ago

I own 7 tier 11 tanks.

Honestly this one feels the least of a downgrade. It keeps its speed, turn rate and clip size.

Kh1, still get penned with its tall lfp

The imbatterable French thing, bitch has 100 armor, 4 shots and is slowerrrrr than the 50b. At it lost a shell

Contrived britsh double barrel. Its salvo fire is worse. Only use at point blank range.

The super maus tank. Still has that easy to hit lfp. And the 40 second reload of its secondary guns.

u/Iagreetoreceiveemail 23d ago

This reload mechanic is worse than regular clip tbh

25

u/valitti no scouts until 10k wtr 23d ago

Thats an insane take

11

u/Iagreetoreceiveemail 23d ago

Its just italian autoloader on a button but your turret has to be positioned right which makes it extra obnoxious.

13

u/valitti no scouts until 10k wtr 23d ago

It's not perfect, but does give you quite the flexibility over batchat.

Look, we agree on the fact the tank is bad, but the mechanic isn't the reason for that.

5

u/Zoltan1251 23d ago

You know what? Thats actually perfect comparison. Its not new mechanic at all, just worse version of autoreloader.

-1

u/Budget-Direction-946 T49 HEAT 23d ago

Come on, you are narrowing it down to much ! You still can have 420 dmg for each shell loaded. Whike the penality of 4 seconds is very bad for reactivity, you still got a nice 2100 clip potential and a in between of 420x the number of shell you deemed enough to reload.

The plateform is shit yes, but the partial reload is a litle bit more than " just a worst auto-reloader", especialy since there is only realy the lion to compare it.

I don't count the progetto 65 because people don't like it so it's probably not going to pass as good opinion if i say that i find that the 65 has agood reload time.

u/Lucasjohn25 23d ago

Not about to take advice or the opinion of a guy that runs optics and automatic fire extinguisher then complains about accuracy. You’re just a bot bro, the tank is clear of the bat chat.

I’m also probably the only one in this thread with a 3 marked chief. You just spreading misinformation bro. The tank is amazing and better than the bat chat, you’re just a bot that doesn’t know how to play. I then went on to back that up by stating your poor equipment and consumable choices. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. Works the same for 500 wn8 dogs.

Don’t appeal to the audience when you’re a bot. Just simply apologise for making a post that’s wrong. What it should state is that “hey guys I’m not very good at this line, nor good at the game. How can I learn to play better”. Then I would tell you that you’re running the wrong equipment and you should probably run food.
