@@columc nah, oxy is still doing great videos. We also have different formats. Oxy has very professionally done bids, whereas these are just 40 minute shitposts
Brilliant video, very informative! The longer gun on the 2a6 increases pen by giving the round a longer acceleration distance, allowing it to hit higher speeds to reach out and touch things with more accuracy at longer range, and with increased speed comes more penetration. I hope this helps :)

@@patrickb1303 Gewehr means gun, they’d use Kanone or Geschütz for tanks, Gewehr is used for infantry guns or light arms, like STG 44, Sturmgewehr 44, 44 being the year it’s made like MP40, MachinenPistole 40. There isn’t much a difference really between Pistole and Gewehr, they mean the same thing but classify different calibers, Geschutz mainly for larger guns or guns for destruction and artillery and Kanone for tank destruction.

I really struggled with British tanks, barely getting a kill each match at tier 1. Switched to German and I went 7-0 and could survive for ages, even under fire from two tanks at once.
bro… tell me your ways, i use pnzer 3E and i die, i switch to a tank destroyer, i die. i decide to sit back and flank a lil bit, i die, what is the life rate if you fucks
I would like to add that the Begleit 57 can be an amazing SPAA, the HEVT has a maximum range of 5km, easily outranging the Gepard, which really helps against helicopters or aircraft with guided missiles. Its also pretty nice as first spawn to counter early air threads without trading in performance against ground targets like you would with dedicated SPAA. Oh, and if you have your APHE and HEVT limited to 10 rounds, you need to restock them in the modification window, its an old issue with this vehicle specifically.
The "pissed off German man" was actually Austrian lol. And I think the battle of Jutland was a huge kick in the teeth for the royal navy while being kind of a stalemate.
Now that I rewatched this video, I just noticed something. Not something to crazy but worth mentioning anyways: Panzer IV is actually more complicated and more expensive to produce than a Panther, especially the H variant
I am playing Warthunder for 1.5 years now. I started out with germany and got now all top tier vehicles. I didn't find germany to be the easiest starter nation. I'd rather go with russia. BUT I never played a game like WT before. Therefor I found the russian tanks easier since they can take a punch which I didn't exp with german tanks. This exp might be different though for someone who played a similar game before. Well... German speakers can pronounce it as well as all nations that are close to german. :D
@@obi-wankenobi5766 German is definitely the hardest among the three, pz3 and pz4 early model with short barrel really makes it hard for people to actually play with them

Most of this is true but you missed on several gems of the tech tree. Also, the Ostwind 2 is extremely effective. And so is the Kugelblitz, especially by not being a vulnerable open top. Coelian (now removed) is even better, as I'd say the 37mm is a better anti air gun than the 30mm just by not having a magazine to reload.

A tip for anyone wanting to play the stug dont try to push and be a breakthrough tank sit in a corner and ambush people Or go up find a short wall sit behind it and shoot the enemie from almost complete safety the best map for this is the big japanese shrine map you can sit behind the low walls in the center of the map and pick off enemie turrets and upper hulls while they can barely shoot you
I see the Tiger like this: The Tiger is an armored knight with a Hammer/pick. Deadly and well armored but not effective without men-at-arms (i.e other tanks) to support it.
It's a bad comparison. An armored knight was the absolute top of the cream, almost invulnerable without the right guns, still agile, and very deadly. The tiger wasn't as good or well rounded.
What gets me is that modern mbts are designed mainly to defend against chemical rounds something that isn't often used in other mbts compared to apfsds rounds to combat other armored tanks. Its mostly useful against man portable weapons which are required to us chem rounds due to size limitations. This feels like a reaction to the 60-80s where it was mainly heat shells being used to chew through heavy armor before composite was designed
As a German I have absolutley no Problem pronouncing the full names of the tanks, but I understand why nobody tries it, as we usually have long and complicated names for our Vehicles (In Terms of SdKfz etc.)
Germany only suffers in terms of player quality. It has one the the Worst player spreads i know of. The top players are absolutely Nuts at handling their machines while the bottom players are the reason germany suffers memes exist.
The tiger can be practically invincible if you know how to use it , I once took 10 hits from a jumbo and a spg, took out the spg and the jumbo took me out but I got enough sp from it for cas
i remember a lifetime ago when you saw a Maus ingame you would type "Maus on Ping" in chat after pinging it, it took a few guys to take out a Maus. Made the game incredible fun.
Thanks for that comment. I went back and tried to spade all the tier1/2 germans and knowing this made it bearable dealing with the utter trash tanks in tier 1
4:06 this vehicle is not a tank destroyer, yes it's under the TD class of vehicles in war thunder, but it's a mobile artillery, like the Wespe Good video tho I'll reccomend it to a couple friends :)
the Pz F2's gun was a PaK 30 or a PaK 40, i cant remember which one it was but it was VERY VERY good at nailing tanks at mid to far ranges, which is why its on a medium tank in WT. how ever it was very big and you couldnt carry many round due to their size. and the turret WAS STUPIDLY cramped, and the crew didnt like the fact that the turret was cramps and really only had room for two not three.
It's the KwK 40 (i guess for Kampfwagen Kanone?), derived from the PaK 40 Performs between Soviet 57 mm Zis - 4 and 85 mm guns regarding armor piercing. Turret already looked small for the short Howitzer

12:20 I'm sorry but 140 mm is average at best at 5.0. Russian 57 and 85mm british 76mm american long 75mm italian 90mm japanese long 75mm ... But you would be right to say that it is still powerful enough for the job and given the heavely armored chassis.
I enjoy watching War Thunder stuff more than playing. Playing is just a pain in the ass. I don't expect to not die but it'd be substantially more fun to see how one is supposed to do well than just getting sniped again and again by shit you can't see.
As one of the few Tiger players who know what I'm doing, the amount of times my fellow tigers will simply drive around a corner without even hesitating is infuriating.
Actually, I enjoy the tigers over the panthers, the reverse gear is great and the BOX hull make angling easy, and aiming for weak spots is a lot better with the 88, as you have the explosive filler to really exploit cupolas
don't listen to him, i instantly understood he doesn't know how to play the tiger as soon as he said "it's a brawling tank". Anyone who knows it will avoid brawling with it, it's just a risk where you'll end up getting destroyed most of the times.
@@spygineer1076 It's a geniuinely good at brawling though, ever thought that someone might be actually above you in skill and that maybe you're the one not getting it?
Ostwind II is bad for the sole reason of being too high risk (especially compared to the standard Ostwind) for the reward. The Kugelblitz is quite possibly the best SPAA the Germans have up until that point (for AA purposes) due to the high velocity cannons and relatively large explosive mass in each shell. Oh and it has a very high SL multiplier of 1.9 (190%) - with a cost of 1200SL stock (which in itself is still pretty damn competitive) that’s an absolute steal and joy of a vehicle
The tiger h is incredibly good with a little bit of angling and its cannon is better due to the post pen as the panther and tiger can pen pretty much anything at any point at that br but obviously you can’t aim at a 70 degree 100 mm thick piece of armour and expect it to pen
Please respond, the Tiger H1 and E are much better than panthers, i have noticed that gijin is a lil biased to tigers and they bounce shots much more often whilst panthers get crippled
actually, best grinding platoon is panther and tiger. tiger 1s pzgr is capable of obliterating anything it pens and panther is pretty weak untill you have researched almost all modules
something I'm surprised you didn't mention is the fact of just how cheap it is to repair german rank 7, with like maybe 2k SL per tank, that's the biggest win for me
In which world does their german rank 7 tanks have a repair cost of 2k. I mean yes they lowered the repair costs in the last few years from around 20k to 7k, but this is still far away from 2k. Not to mention that the winrates against Russia are very bad which means that you get overall less SL. In addition to that, the FlaRaRad is incredibly expensive for its capabilities. Would prefer to play Russia. Lower Repair costs, better AA, and the T80 BVM is as good as the Leopard.
lol actually really like playing the tiger 1 I find it a very fun tank to play. I feel like people shit on it too hard ( at least in war thunder not irl ).
I think you got those two in tier 3 wrong, the panther is great for capping and brawling since it can actually survive getting hit while the tiger is great at long range. I've faced tigers and panthers, and killing a tiger is a lot easier than killing a panther.
I could agree with you, the panther, with it's angled plate it could be difficult to kill even at close range. The thing is, it's long 75 has better penetration, so it's technically better at long range
honestly, i think he doesn't event know how to properly play the tiger, mocking people who go for it when he in the first place doesn't even know how to use it, i mean, the tiger a brawling tank ? lmao what
Y do people hate on turretless designs so much?! Most deaths irl and in war thunder are from shooting the turret, an spg has such a low gun and silhouette it can brawl and snipe very effectively, so long as you're anywhere near your team your pretty much invincible. Only downside is if your barrel is shot, but then again z you should always have an escape option or be with your team. Most of my kills are in spgs, and given how they were the most effective german tanks irl, i think its safe to say it was a better platform, especially in ww2.
Literally 90% of the time you dont fire on the move(unless in an American tank anyway) and you dont turn the turret more than 30° to either side. So no real offensive disadvantage from no turret, meanwhile disabling a turret takes one shot, while to disable an spgs rotation you have to disable the whole vehicle. I.e. both tracks or the powertrain.
"Until gaijin added a bunch of heat fs spamming tanks" Me who constantly plays at 7.3 with a 6.3 lineup and gets missiled, bombed and apfsdsd by mbts. Yeah, those goddamn light tanks are definately the issue. FR, light tanks are okay imo, just the fact that if you pick a 6.3 lineup you always play as a 7.3 lineup. And thats as expected not very fun where mobility, laser rangefinders, apfsds and atgms ignore armor like noones buisness and your tank only has armor and nothing else. Good video tho. Watched it a lot of times, mostly cuz its fun
The reason StuGs were so successful in real life was that they were primarily used in defensive roles, due to them being able to make use of terrain features where the enemy has little to no opportunities to evade or flank them. War Thunder isn't real life and the maps are made to be as balanced as possible. Due to that discrepancy, regular turreted tanks are more useful due to their increased versatility.
What you forgot to mention is that if the tanks in War thunder where real, the war would have been over in 1940 (As war thunder modelled German armour on chipboard , not to mention all the post war tanks that the German tanks have to face.
Tank destroyers are self propelled guns. The definition of tank destroyer is literally a self propelled gun with direct fire Artillery. Something the 15cm sig literally is
Tiger II is slow ,big and has a weak spot , the 2 black dots on the mantlet.I usually get killed by other tanks no matter the distance after 1 shot.Its better choosing the Waffentrager which at least has low silhouette than Tiger II.
For some reason panther and tiger are the opposites you say to me as tiger if placed good can tank nearly anything while panther literally suffers and is the vehicle that makes me say that german suffers

As one of the few Tiger players who know what I'm doing, the amount of times my fellow tigers will simply drive around a corner without even hesitating is infuriating.
Actually, I enjoy the tigers over the panthers, the reverse gear is great and the BOX hull make angling easy, and aiming for weak spots is a lot better with the 88, as you have the explosive filler to really exploit cupolas
Tiger looks cooler too. Can’t forget that stat.
don't listen to him, i instantly understood he doesn't know how to play the tiger as soon as he said "it's a brawling tank". Anyone who knows it will avoid brawling with it, it's just a risk where you'll end up getting destroyed most of the times.
@@spygineer1076 exactly distance + angling is the way to play
@@TheModifyguy yea and the IS-2 join the game
@@spygineer1076 It's a geniuinely good at brawling though, ever thought that someone might be actually above you in skill and that maybe you're the one not getting it?
It’s very easy to pen panther from the front, that mantlet weak af
Are people genuinely finding the Ostwind 2 and the Kugelblitzt bad?
Are we playing the same vehicles?
As aa's both are absolutey amazing.
Kugel is amazing, ostwind, not so much
Ostwind II is bad for the sole reason of being too high risk (especially compared to the standard Ostwind) for the reward. The Kugelblitz is quite possibly the best SPAA the Germans have up until that point (for AA purposes) due to the high velocity cannons and relatively large explosive mass in each shell. Oh and it has a very high SL multiplier of 1.9 (190%) - with a cost of 1200SL stock (which in itself is still pretty damn competitive) that’s an absolute steal and joy of a vehicle

You listen to interesting podcasts too…
Fun fact: you can use the su 5 as an anti air just for obvious reasons
German Tanks in a nutshell:
Puma: Scout
Tiger: Heavy Weapons guy
Panther: Sniper
Wirblewind: Pyro
Stugs/Stuhs: Demoman
Panzer IV: Soldier
This video is really useful, but I miss the "optimal loadout" guides from the American tanks video.
The tiger h is incredibly good with a little bit of angling and its cannon is better due to the post pen as the panther and tiger can pen pretty much anything at any point at that br but obviously you can’t aim at a 70 degree 100 mm thick piece of armour and expect it to pen
I’m probably gonna get hate for this but in my opinion I like the flakrad (idk how to spell it)
Please respond, the Tiger H1 and E are much better than panthers, i have noticed that gijin is a lil biased to tigers and they bounce shots much more often whilst panthers get crippled
14:15 whatever you were listening to or watching while lowering the volume, im now curios and going to watch the vid.
Edit: I liked it, cool vid
6:47 Laughs in German
actually, best grinding platoon is panther and tiger. tiger 1s pzgr is capable of obliterating anything it pens and panther is pretty weak untill you have researched almost all modules
Too much British bias but a decently good video.
the panzer 4 was harder to produce than the panther my guy (regarding the statement at 5:00)
As a german i love the Video and the Jokes in it thx for this Video its really good
17:34 how is genocide a right wing value? Didnt extremist left wing communists also do genocide?
I love both the tiger and the panther. But omg. The turret rotation of the Panther is Painfully slow
something I'm surprised you didn't mention is the fact of just how cheap it is to repair german rank 7, with like maybe 2k SL per tank, that's the biggest win for me
In which world does their german rank 7 tanks have a repair cost of 2k. I mean yes they lowered the repair costs in the last few years from around 20k to 7k, but this is still far away from 2k. Not to mention that the winrates against Russia are very bad which means that you get overall less SL. In addition to that, the FlaRaRad is incredibly expensive for its capabilities.
Would prefer to play Russia. Lower Repair costs, better AA, and the T80 BVM is as good as the Leopard.
As a German main and a German I can agree that the tigger H1 is a very bad tank but I have been able to tank around of 6 to 7 shots before dying in it
2:18 he was Austrian, not German.
WTF were you listening to that popped up at 14:17 ?
Go on UA-cam and type CBU WAR CRIMES Ralfidude
Ah ok thx that clears it up a lot lol.@@SAKOSNIPER
Ahh fellow ralfidude videos enjoyer i see@@SAKOSNIPER
I’m always a bit baffled by how many people underestimate the begleitpanzer APHE round.
lol actually really like playing the tiger 1 I find it a very fun tank to play. I feel like people shit on it too hard ( at least in war thunder not irl ).
The Leo 1 now has HEAT-FS with 400 mm of pen and oh boy it's fun to play :))
leo 1 players are nothing more than cannon fodders.
After the new BR adjustments, Tier IV Germany has came back to the meta in my opinion. And there are less heatfs shooting tanks.
yeah, 6.7 germany is now back in meta. King tiger mains are happy again
I think you got those two in tier 3 wrong, the panther is great for capping and brawling since it can actually survive getting hit while the tiger is great at long range. I've faced tigers and panthers, and killing a tiger is a lot easier than killing a panther.
I could agree with you, the panther, with it's angled plate it could be difficult to kill even at close range. The thing is, it's long 75 has better penetration, so it's technically better at long range
honestly, i think he doesn't event know how to properly play the tiger, mocking people who go for it when he in the first place doesn't even know how to use it, i mean, the tiger a brawling tank ? lmao what
Your mantlet go brrrr
Good job sako. Hope you do one on the Italian or Chinese tree
Y do people hate on turretless designs so much?! Most deaths irl and in war thunder are from shooting the turret, an spg has such a low gun and silhouette it can brawl and snipe very effectively, so long as you're anywhere near your team your pretty much invincible. Only downside is if your barrel is shot, but then again z you should always have an escape option or be with your team.
Most of my kills are in spgs, and given how they were the most effective german tanks irl, i think its safe to say it was a better platform, especially in ww2.
Literally 90% of the time you dont fire on the move(unless in an American tank anyway) and you dont turn the turret more than 30° to either side. So no real offensive disadvantage from no turret, meanwhile disabling a turret takes one shot, while to disable an spgs rotation you have to disable the whole vehicle. I.e. both tracks or the powertrain.
13:42
The Puma is a late-war light tank/vehicle, but in war thunder it's at low tier.
"Until gaijin added a bunch of heat fs spamming tanks" Me who constantly plays at 7.3 with a 6.3 lineup and gets missiled, bombed and apfsdsd by mbts. Yeah, those goddamn light tanks are definately the issue. FR, light tanks are okay imo, just the fact that if you pick a 6.3 lineup you always play as a 7.3 lineup. And thats as expected not very fun where mobility, laser rangefinders, apfsds and atgms ignore armor like noones buisness and your tank only has armor and nothing else. Good video tho. Watched it a lot of times, mostly cuz its fun
Very informative and funny! Best one yet sako 💪💪
Ironically enough the panzer 3 and 4 were unnecessarily overengineered to the point where the panther was literally faster to produce
Damn, I never thought such a video could be this entertaining!
can you do also a guide on russia tech tree?
The reason StuGs were so successful in real life was that they were primarily used in defensive roles, due to them being able to make use of terrain features where the enemy has little to no opportunities to evade or flank them.
War Thunder isn't real life and the maps are made to be as balanced as possible. Due to that discrepancy, regular turreted tanks are more useful due to their increased versatility.
Great vid sniper. Love this idea. Very well done.
Great video, hope you make more when you get the time
Hey sako when are you gonna do a video about the Ah-64 Peten?
I remember getting 7 kills withe the Pz. IV ausf F2 3-4 minutes in the game
Which Tigers were "famously pushed back in Moscow"? In Dec '41?
Well I absolutely love it. Make more about other countries please
I do honestly think that German SPGs are good, stay at the back on a hill and you can consistently get kills without much issue.
Huge L for including the scam
?
Fr
What you forgot to mention is that if the tanks in War thunder where real, the war would have been over in 1940 (As war thunder modelled German armour on chipboard , not to mention all the post war tanks that the German tanks have to face.
15cm SiG is actually a self propelled gun, technically not a tank destroyer, it's just artillery on treads
Tank destroyers are self propelled guns. The definition of tank destroyer is literally a self propelled gun with direct fire Artillery. Something the 15cm sig literally is
Watching the classic German tanks get nurfed made me cry the 🐅 and the 🐆 was so good back then
Germany rank 1 and 2 are super fun imo
Tiger II is slow ,big and has a weak spot , the 2 black dots on the mantlet.I usually get killed by other tanks no matter the distance after 1 shot.Its better choosing the Waffentrager which at least has low silhouette than Tiger II.
For some reason panther and tiger are the opposites you say to me as tiger if placed good can tank nearly anything while panther literally suffers and is the vehicle that makes me say that german suffers
Great vid once again @Sako. It’s always a good day when I see your vid in the subs.
Funny, because I find Tiger to be quite a lot more reliable than the Panther, especially at extra close range.
First nation I started off with. Totally dig z Germans...Great vid man
