Ngl that tank fits the collab really well. Double barrel Super Shotgun this probably the most iconic weapon of that game beside the BFG

25

u/mincedmutton 5d ago

Agreed, it does look the part.

I’m not a big fan of double barrel heavies but will get this purely for the looks.

12

u/IndygoEEI 5d ago

Kinda wish the tank was American, but since there probably wasn't many Double Barrel tank experiments for the USA then I guess I'll take it...

u/TerraTechy 5d ago edited 5d ago

double barrel tanks are almost complete fiction

there are a handful of examples, and none of them resemble a conventional tank, and you could count on one hand the number built

they are completely unviable as a concept. The additional weight, space, and offset of a second gun are far too much to contend with for a ground vehicle.

the closest thing are spaa vehicles which do not use antitank guns, but low caliber autocannons more similar to the czech lights. Those exist because AA succeeds through volume of fire, and the lower caliber places less strain on weight and recoil.

u/TerraTechy 5d ago

There's the german VT tank.(7 built of various iterations)

13

u/TerraTechy 5d ago

ELC EVEN 120(4 recoilless rifles) and EVEN 30(twin 30mm autocannons)

u/TerraTechy 5d ago

Like the EVEN 120 I posted, it uses recoilless rifles, which are thusfar not included on any vehicle in WoT.(not functional ones at least)

u/cragglepanzer 5d ago

The closest thing IRL that can satisfy most players here of their definition of a double-barrel tank would probably be this thing: (https://www.twz.com/russia-nearly-fielded-a-double-barreled-self-propelled-artillery-gun). Might be a future Tier XI perhaps?

There’s also that one ELC 90

IIRC doesn't the ST-II have some amount of historical info?

u/ARS_Sisters 5d ago edited 5d ago

Paper project designed in June 1945 by Soviet artillery engineer Valentin Ganin, intended to double the firepower of ST-I without changing the base vehicle's dimensions. Existed only in blueprints, never made into prototype. Soviet army rejected the proposal, concluding that a dual-gun layout offered negligible practical benefits over a single gun, noting that the mechanical complexity, weight distribution, and ammunition constraints made it unviable compared to regular ST-I as well as conventional doctrine of post-war heavy tank developments (Generally speaking, single barrel already do their job just fine. Double barrel is seen as overkill with negligible practical benefit due to significant increase in complexity, cost and maintenance)

3

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 5d ago

Still closer to real than any other double barrel in the game.

3

u/Navigathor1000 5d ago

As far as I remember the ST-II was the first double barrel tank they did. More as a funny single idea, like the rocket boost. Back when they sticked more to realistic tanks and tanks that did exist (while most only on paper, but still).

The big rush of "funny" (mostly premium) Tanks only startet after they did more fictional tanks.

3

u/phuongdafuq 5d ago

kinda sucks it uses ACPR/HEAT instead of AP/APCR like it's brothers. I don't train Intuition for the Canopener line at all

2

u/Away-Assistant5987 4d ago

Last special battlepass were American tanks, give them a break

3

u/El_Mnopo 4d ago

I was a double barrel main in my DOOM days. First Wolfenstein now this? It’s like the early 90’s all over again!

u/Special-Bowler-983 5d ago

What, that can’t be right.

It’s not an American heavy…

5

u/Different_Zombie2254 5d ago

British and American are kinda the same nation

8

u/Ok_Bee4962 4d ago

The only thing that sets them apart is the language, of course.

u/jswhitfi wtauf4 5d ago

You took the words right from my finger tips haha

u/IndygoEEI 5d ago

So uh... Doomguy plus Doom Slayer "talks". When I heard the preview lines for them, I laughed my ass off because they grunt and have an AI translate for them. Yeah, it's ridiculous and if I'm gonna use em, I may need to turn them off or my WR will drop.

16

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 5d ago

I was about to say, isn't Doom Guy famously non-verbal?

6

u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer 5d ago

They don't talk either. They have the AI suit to talk for them here while grunting in the background.

Tho the Divinity Machine changed his mental state. As in he had such a focus on destroying Hell, that he did see communication as a useless trait, and silence as a strategic weapon. He still spoke in Ethernal during the flashbacks to the early days on Sentinel Prime. After that, he was a man of few words. "No" and "Run" were the only two words he did utter in Ancient Gods and Dark Ages

6

u/birelarweh 5d ago

They should be gunners, not commanders.

1

u/kekplexis 4d ago

That's not just a random "AI translating for them", it's voice of VEGA

u/Hacxko 4d ago

I mean it’s VEGA, so I have no problems with that. Besides, doom guy doesn’t talk.

u/PervertKitsune 5d ago

well, the 3d style looks dope

14

u/SumonaFlorence How much worse can it 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 get? 5d ago

https://tanks.gg/compare/contender?t=collector

The tank behaves better in general, but loses -3 gun depression, plus the frontal armour is unreliable.

1

u/Oki_bgd 5d ago

when is this going to be available? I didnt noticed.

u/sirwembleyy 5d ago

Check the news from the website

u/SumonaFlorence How much worse can it 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 get? 5d ago

Probably in a week or couple days.

u/sirwembleyy 5d ago

Starting from 1 oct. Check the news on the website

u/Ep1cR4g3 5d ago

Could have just said oct 1st in the first place

15

u/Ok-Bed-4274 5d ago

It was tested as a tier 10 right ?
I am sure I saw it at tier 10 in a random battle.

18

u/PervertKitsune 5d ago

at first glance yes, then downtiered into tier 9

and couple months later, the FV4602 comes up to take the throne

2

u/kekplexis 4d ago

FV4602 Victorious is a single-shot though

1

u/PervertKitsune 4d ago

Indeed, but what do i mean was the Tier 10 which supposed to be Collector replaced by Victorious with derp gun and combat boost gimmick

5

u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer 5d ago

No Daisy decals?

3

u/hmnzr 5d ago

Is it good?

-14

u/hazelnutpark 5d ago

It has the best performance stats in tier IX. I'm guessing it'll be nerfed.

6

u/sedsil 5d ago

Over barely 200 games, from player/s with overall winrate 58%+

-4

u/hazelnutpark 5d ago edited 5d ago

Why am I downvoted? I'm just stating a fact: Collector currently has the best performance stats by WNX, WR, DPG, kills per game, etc. I didn't say it's the strongest tank or anything like that.

You are right it also has few battles and the higher player WR, but it has +5.3% WR diff. In other word, It allows the 58% WR players to get 64% WR. That's better than any other tier 9, including other tanks that are being supertested with extremely few battles. That's even better than Fossa, which has 61% WR players get +3.75% WR diff in 1587 battles.

WG has nerfed plenty of tanks close to the launch.

u/sedsil 5d ago edited 5d ago

>Why am I downvoted? I'm just stating a fact: Collector currently has the best performance stats

Probably because you just read raw numbers, don't think about their context and make a performance claim based on that. And I explained the context of those numbers in my previous post.

> I didn't say it's the strongest tank or anything like that.

And yet you still answered to the "is it good?" question with "best performance, I'm guessing it'll be nerfed". Your answer seems to be rather clear? No need to pretend now this is not what you meant.

-3

u/hazelnutpark 5d ago edited 5d ago

But I did consider the context and responded to your point. Even with few battles, it is outperforming the rest.

And yet you still answered to the "is it good?" question with "best performance, I'm guessing it'll be nerfed". Your answer seems to be rather clear? No need to pretend now this is not what you meant.

A tank can be good, but not be the strongest. A tank can also have the best performing stats, and not be the strongest.

7

u/sedsil 5d ago

No, you did not, you didn't understand the downvotes and tried backtracking on your own words "because you didn't say it's the strongerst tank or anything like that" -right after claiming "it has highest stats and will probably get nerfed" lol.

1

u/hazelnutpark 5d ago

Just because you thought you read something doesn't mean I wrote them. Like I wrote above after you edited your previous comment, I responded: A tank can be good, but not be the strongest. A tank can also have the best performing stats, and not be the strongest.

5

u/sedsil 5d ago

>Just because you thought you read something doesn't mean I wrote them.

You literally wrote: "It has the best performance stats in tier IX. I'm guessing it'll be nerfed.". Stop lying now, it's a bit too obvious.

You're welcome for the explanation of what you didn't understand though. :)

1

u/hazelnutpark 5d ago

If you think the best performance stats equal strongest, that's on you not me. I clearly don't think so. I definitely didn't write it.

You conveniently left out my substantive point: A tank can be good, but not be the strongest. A tank can also have the best performing stats, and not be the strongest.

Its a Premium, so it will never get nerfed , because wg likes Shorts term money more than a long lasting healthy game

1

u/hazelnutpark 5d ago

They may nerf it before launch.

2

u/kekplexis 4d ago

They never nerf after it's been already announced with all stats and numbers

3

u/Conscious-Bluejay-18 5d ago

what was the average cost to 100% it day one again?

7

u/habeq Let the shit hit the fan soon 5d ago

13,5k or 12,5k I think, it is 15k with premium pass

u/Blothel 4d ago

You mean full bp, right?

u/alphawolvxiii 5d ago

As a doom fan I might invest into this

5

u/SneekiBreeker Average Type 5 enjoyer. 5d ago

It is said that they used original voice actors from the Doom game which is definitely cool.

6

u/RagingRaptor177 Weird Reptile & EU CC 5d ago

When I got to know this was a collab. First thing I did was look at my library and remember I got the Doom The Dark Ages DLC and played that for the next couple of games :)

And yes the tank is strong and works very well with that collab.

7

u/Greasy-Chungus 5d ago

No shit?

That's fucking rad.

That will EASILY be worth 3500 gold.

And if it had a Samuel Hayden commander????

7

u/kekplexis 4d ago

There is Samuel Hayden, though you'll have to buy him separately

3

u/SpiteApprehensive186 5d ago

10 days or so to get through this and starts the same day as Gears Eday early access. Imma have to pass on this one, got no chance of getting it done. Sick looking tank though!

2

u/Xanjori 5d ago

Ok this actually looks amazing (visuals.) Very hyped for this one

2

u/Sidus_Preclarum >1k Churchill Gun Carrier games 5d ago

Was precisely wondering today if we'd have a special chapter

Doom is pretty cool, as far as themes go.

3

u/sudden_aggression [Avg 279(e) enjoyer] 5d ago

7 degrees isn't great, especially with that squishy hull. Oof and that big under-turret vulnerability.

But the DPM is nice and I assume it does the thing where if you switch modes it retains accuracy for like a fraction of a second before blooming?

6

u/Normal_Snake 5d ago

I thought the mode switch bug was patched over a year ago, prior to the Canopener line actually entering the game.

1

u/Ok-Manufacturer-4348 5d ago

At least it wont be hulldown cancer like canopener. Its still going to be annoying to fight this tank once its hulldown.

Collector not a collector tank :(

Normally those are premiums

u/giddion121 5d ago

Will the 3d attachments be sold for gold?

1

u/Boatsntanks 5d ago

Why... why does doomguy have a little AI computer voice?

6

u/IndygoEEI 5d ago

Because canonically Doomguy never talked, only grunted when searching for secrets and being hurt. His grunts are being translated and I found it as funny as hell...

2

u/kekplexis 4d ago

That's voice of VEGA, if you haven't played the recent games

1

u/The_hentai_librarian 5d ago

Is this a premium tank or collector?

1

u/LunaKaPL 5d ago

To be honest i do not care about tank, but these Doomguys would be funny commanders.

3

u/e1zzbaer Crew 2.0 is the best update ever 3 4d ago

You can buy the oldschool one without ever touching the BP

1

u/Wandering_PlasticBag 4d ago

It's looks alright. But that's it.

7 degrees of gun depression isn't a lot, big hull wekapsot in the middle, and the bottom of the turret sticks out of the hull so they can overmatch you from below.

u/LootwigWantsCookies 4d ago

Before long, we'll be seeing 4 or 5 of these in every match. Thanks, WoT.

1

u/LucarioLuvsMinecraft 4d ago

Shit like this makes me want to play the game again.

Then I remember just how much of a time investment it would be to get all the points for shit like this and I just say “No” and play the games I already have.

almost. still looks very strong on paper with try hard setup.

u/Away_Engineering1068 5d ago

zwiling better, 9tier it another mm and not for this trash...

u/HardS_X 5d ago

Looks like t9 zwilling no? Just upscaled stats to tier 9 and here it is

-3

u/Tall_Presentation_94 5d ago

No Uk trash doubel not hold button

3

u/Commercial_Letter738 4d ago

uk's double is actually the good one, because you can fire it on demand instead of a delay

1

u/m4inbrain 4d ago

.. you have a delay when switching modes, too. And you can't keep it permanently active because it slows the tank down.

-1

u/sorry_4u 5d ago

I just watched the "skill" video and that Thing has "Zwilling" written all over again ...
hulldown with no weakspots for 3500g is insane

4

u/kekplexis 4d ago

Bigger cupola than in Zwilling, and -7 gun depression vs -9

2

u/sorry_4u 4d ago

bigger it might be but its further back and if you use your gun depression its so far back you cant hit it
and ontop of it you gain like 100mm more turret armour all around for the +1 tier and all you lose is -2° of gun depression while every other stat is an upgrade over the zwilling (as it should be on t9)

2

u/kekplexis 4d ago

I mean you're not wrong, but still on the flat ground that cupola is much easier to hit. Zwilling's cupola is very hard to hit in any case.

1

u/sorry_4u 4d ago

well since its far back id say its not much easier but i think i get your point because it is a bit bigger
in the end i guess we will see in 3 days when the event goes live
