The bane of any 9.3 player right now
as a french player i want to kill myselft right now
It a dead sentence to 9.3 player the AMX jet still 10.3 there nothing that can kill it
Especially with nerf to us rounds.
And 10.3
Don't forget the 10.3 Italian helis. They are even more op than the amx.@@thybonheng1485
13:12 15 minutes of the match remaining but only 2 people on his team, peak 9.3-11.7 experience
I get spawn camp today 3 min into the fight
@@Mysticmac007thank you gaijin for adding top tier squadron and premium vehicles. Sometime ago the last battlerating was only achieved by grinding meaning everyone had multiple vehicles available.
10.3 is such a great br if your team doesn't instantly fold which will happen so often, especially when an event is taking place like right now and let's not forget the sales.
Christian 2, CV90105 and VIDAR is relatively cheap for a beginner tt lineup
@@benjaminjeffrey8533 Yup, 1 very very good tank and 2 undertiered ones
You're sounding much, much better. Glad to have you back, Justin!
video came out a minute ago but your comment 8 hours ago????
I released this early for channel supporters, happens on occassion xP
@@JustinPlaysTVi am just curious because other content creators are doing it aswell, why? Why release it earlier?
Imagine ussr having almost more 10.0 and 10.3 tanks than all of minor nations combined,some nations have 0 of them🤣🤣🤣
Gaijin:Let me take those 11.3 vehicles and put all of them at 10.3
One I'm hoping for in the next major update is the 44M Tas, Hungary's attempt at making a tank that's somewhat equal to the Panther.
Same here, or an IS-2 from the Hungarian People's Republic era.
Whens the next big update coming?
@@Ancient_by_standeridk, but pray to god that they won’t add another meta top tier MBT.
Just give us more fun mid tier vehicles pls
i have been seeing your comments everywhere lmao
AL enjoyer too?
@@Proskilljg iron Blood technology is simply the best, hence why you see it everywhere
And u can buy the T80UD and T72 Turms to this lineup and the SU 25K
And the 2s38 aswell
Bmp2m as well
One of the things that KILLS me (mentally) about having to fight Russia is the lack of spalling. Their MBTs just do not generate spall. It’s so bad that with the M1 or VFM5 (point being, 105 APFSDS) you can thread the needle *right* through an ammo carousel without doing anything, cause you just don’t spall, and the round isn’t large enough to contact the ammo. That doesn’t happen a ton, but my point is that you’ve got to aim so carefully, no matter what round you’re using, for relatively small weak spots, that sometimes don’t do anything. Shots into LFPs don’t spall, so depending on the angle, you’ll get the driver and engine, but not ammo. Shots head on into the drivers port will get the ring and breach, but not always crew. Shots through ammo or fuel tanks sometimes decide to not do anything. Really annoying fighting such heavily armored vehicles, with tiny weak spots, that even if you hit in a weak spot or direct in the side, may just do *nothing* (especially when I’m playing the supposedly heavy NATO equivalent of Challenger, but with massive weak spots, ammo that detonates all the time, and according to the game, generates way more spalling than a T-72)
Damn, that was a rant and a half
You said it bro, 9.3 is my highest br and this mfs are making it very hard not to rage
same, but not against russian vehicles. I get this stuff more against leopards, I play USA 10.3
And having to face Russian ERA with a stock HEAT round when you first get a new tank :(
@@radmizeeeLeo shenanigans only happen at 2A7. 2A6 and below are pretty easy for me.
@@radmizeee literally just aim anywhere in the hull, leopards are easy af to kill
No one believed me when I said Strela top tier, thing is insanse. I think for the vehicles I keep in my actual toptier lineup from this BR you played today it's the: 2M, Sprut-M and Strela, I can't recall if the Moderna got rotated out finally when I got the Sprut. Most of the supporting vehicles from the 10.0 area easily hold at the 11.7 range and it's insane. Great video as always!
I am happy to hear you’re sounding much better my man! Glad to have you back!
You can still shot barrellaunched ATGMs whilest your barrel is out
I started using your videos as exercise timers. So when you upload I go and time my workout with your video.
Glad you're back buddy, i hope you'll feel better :)
T80B is also an up-BR, the T80B was 10.0 until the buff.
OH thats right, damn.. 10.0 was mean wasn't it!
@@JustinPlaysTV It was, facing T80Bs in 10.0 Britain suuuucked lmao (and tbh also with the M1 Abrams too as even the sides could reliably stop the M1's APFSDS)
@@sydney4814 anything can stop the Abrams apfsds, m735 and m774 are so laughably bad
@@Optimusprime56241whilst i agree that M735 is dogshit, M774 is perfectly fine. All you have to do is aim a little harder for weakspots. It's really not hard to do.
@@Entrailraider m774 is really bad in an uptier and even in a downtier it’s pretty meh. Every other tank at the BR gets a round with over 400mm of pen
You forgot the t80ud which is also very balanced xD
I love your videos Justin they are always so good and i also smile when you laugh!
W video welcome back brotha
When will you play arcade at top tier again
I could make a poll to gauge interest? :D
@@JustinPlaysTV AB is just a pure insane spectacle. I hope you'll play it again. Your last vid was hilarious 😂
18:30 I have actually destroyed a single ground vehicle with the PKM on the Strela. I sniped a Type 93.
I think their advantage is that they have so many decent options at 10.0 and 10.3 that you can just keep spawning in with a dangerous vehicle.
Plus they have some great options for premium and squad vehicles. Just all around a fun lineup at this BR
292 and Strella is my basic 10.3 lineup rn because I don't have anything else but it does slap.
I actually brought my Moderna to an 11.3 game today and killed a 2A7 with the 30mm lmao
I don't feel like the Mi24 is that good, it just feels like a big slow flying coffin to me. If you're doing the stand-off missile approach then honestly the KA29 feels way better suited for its mobility and extra zoom.
Wait can the Moderna’s turret still tank DM53 now?
I didn’t realise they nerfed the ERA. If I remember correctly it was 250 vs KE on the turrrt and 150mm on the hull.
10:17 @Justin
By my chance do you think they were using the high explosive warhead kornet? Or did it say they were using the normal chemical warhead one…
You're entitled a break, I've given you a like and this comment for a start. I don't need to buy anything yet but I'll use you decal next as well because I like to share it out and it has to be about your turn.
Nice video Justin! I use the t80b and t72b in my lineup and I use the t80b 90% more than the t72b 😂
Just looked, you can only get up to 10 crew slots now. I was wondering how you had more lol, guess its like the old bush bundles they removed.
I never actually noticed how wide you can make the RU lineup, no wonder it feels like their players never leave the game
As someone grinding USSR right now at is currently at 7.3.
Most of us wont see 11.0 before 2040 (You should do a video about how insane americans are at sub 7.7)😭
I can’t bear the 2d38 any more shot it right where all the crew are located killed one and the rest became yellow, like what is this?
Recently got some tech tree stuff for 10.3 Ussr. My winrate crashed so hard after the 2S38 went on sale. Like 7 of 10 games are lost within minutes after they started because of 1 death leavers...
This has been happening to me lately and I saw it happen with you in your first game. Against that first abrams that you shot, you took out his loader, but he was able to shoot right back at you even though there wasn't enough time after his first shot to have been reloaded before you took out said loader. Did they change the mechanic where if the loader is killed, the round reload starts over?
Yes. I think they did or it's just a bug. I sometimes see my own tanks reload fine after my loader gets put to sleep.
If it's over 75% it pauses then continues from 75. So with a 5sec at 4sec it will go down to 3
292 and strela really belong at 10.7…
(Maybe T-80UD as well and T-72B 1989, which belong at 10.3 at the very least…)
Edit: almost forgot about the sprut and BMP-2M which also need to go up. 10.7 for the BMP easily, and 10.3 at the very minimum for the sprut.
Strela was fine on 9,3 if you know how to play. Sprut has too bad armor for 10,7. It can be 7,62'd to the side. Bmp2m has a moderate winrate. t72b1989 makes no sence for 10,3 since its pretty mutch the same and its not even good. no thermals era weakspots.
@@bestLinuxGamer strela should be at 9.3? Are you fucking insane…
Yeah the sprut is low armored, which can be an advantage in the case of no armor best armor, as well as wonderful mobility for the thing. Best Russian 125mm round in the game and wonderful sights and citv, plus an actually reverse speed. It should be at 10.3 (along with the striker)
BMP-2M is extremely strong for what it is. The win rate isn’t all that high because the stock grind is atrocious (recommend you don’t rely on those stats too much anyway).
T-72B(1989) has much better protection than the standard T-72B, it needs to move up so long as the standard T-72B stays at 10.0.
Strela was okay at 10.0, and Tan-Sam was okay at 11.0. 292 though, yeah, fuck that thing.
Bullshit.. i sense much skill issue in ur words
@@mehmetbozkurt3274 the strela has a photo-contrast mode for its missiles that allows further away locking, and most importantly, is unflareable. It will automatically lock aircraft with this mode if it’s more convenient, and clouds and ground clutter are hardly capable of breaking his lock.
Combine this with the fact that it has a wonderful G-overload limit (much higher at some times than what the stat card lists) and you have a unflareable, and undodgeable missile SAM system that’s just absolutely cracked against whatever it faces.
Yes for the german 10.3 video
They need to remove TURMS and replace it with a Guard version of T-80B without rubber side skirts.
Justin can you share your Graphics settings in the next video, i have a 4060ti but i feel like my graphics in game are kinda blurry and bad
With the Krizantema you lock on the first target and fire then immediately aim for the next target and guide the second one manually. You can start the second missile even if the first is still on its way. EZ
Back in the day the Mi-35M was 10.3 and boy was it busted. I had a 5 K/D with it at that BR and got several nukes with it. It is was (and still probably is) incredibly OP
bmd-4 video when?
Bro killed me at 9.38 I gotta get that one back
Play sweden 8.7 (i WANT TO SEE THE IKV 91 105 ) i have been asking many youtubers for a while
So do we know when the next major update will come?
Some time this month, I believe. Or next month.
you sound better thats good
10.0 Russia is also the primary entry point for most wallet warriors, which make for some really inconsistent games sometimes. Sale seasons are also absolutely miserable for 10.0 Russia.
8.0 Germany and 9.0 america is the same xm-1s , turms 3 , tam ip join and leave the game within seconds . I hate 1 death leavers
Ghost shells. We all love it
I thought you died.(Love you and your videos justin.)
You want a paper abrams you got the sprut, you want an armored abrams you got the t80, you want the best of every vehicle you got the 2s38, you want a armored railgun launcher you got the 292, you want a nonpainful fun bradley the bmd4, you want an A10 with actual armor you got the su 25k, you want to clear the map of air jets and helis in a 7km radius you got the strela. Its such a stacked lineup and they ALL do their job and do it very well. so much variety and Gaijin keeps adding more and more. 10.3 USA was my go to, probably because the abrams is actually strong there. That speed is something but the bradley was not fun even though i could make the Tow -Bs work it was just...boring. Stryker? The Thing is great in hulldown but finding such spots around the map was a pain your just too huge, its too niche and its movement is not fun to manage. 120s...another hulldown vehicle but has more depression(in more ways than one) than the stryker but your so daaamn slow why would i play this when i have the Abrams. The lav is fun...sucks at AA, cant kill helis in an uptier but theres some fun to be had zooming around the map rocketing people late game.
All ima say is that i spent $250cad on m2 moderna 😂 honestly worth fir having a 30mm it just ends all light tanks when my main cannon is loading
T72 Moderna smoke launcher so bad ass🥵
Whats the dark skin you are using? It looks great
Probably late green, you can unlock it for free by just getting kills
Is it worth it to get the t72b??
The wall hitboxes on so many maps are completely broken it's enraging. I don't remember it being THAT bad a couple months ago. I wonder if the snail effed up something. I'm surprised this hasn't gotten its own "it's fixed". I've seriously quit playing for a couple days at a time because of these annoyances.
If you play AB you'll start to notice that there's not just outright broken hitboxes, but >90% of them aren't even synced with the textures. All the maps are as hastily put together as possible.
@@bickboose9364 Maps in War Thunder are really the one big turnoff to me these days. So many imbalances, spawns on one team exposed to shots from 1+ km away, ability to shoot through ground... Or the opposite : invisible wall hitboxes everywhere.
Collision physics that make no sense : drive through a massive tree or concrete block... But both tank and APFSDS stopped by the tiniest little staircase wooden pole.
They keep pumping out premium content but can't be bothered to fix blatant incompetent workmanship on maps. It's grinding on my nerves lately.
@@MozzaBurger88 Gaijin is a garbage company.
Instead of adding new damage systems, gaijin should prioritize fixing map hitbox and balancing vehicles
But of course, a dream is a dream
Gotta love a ‘nerfed’ Russian era performs better than end of line nato era DICE pls fix
Gaijin will never make anything US perform good because it will make Russia bad in game. Anything US is crippled to the ground or over BR'ed and most things Russian is either broken or under BR'ed.
Typical amerimutt ignorance. Do you even know the capabilities of the nato era irl? Go back to wot 😂
@@INeatFreak Meanwhile US air tree having so many under BR'ed planes and the only nation in game having an under BRed top tier vehicle
@@thegreenbolt2819 If you're talking about the F-15A being 12.3 that's because Gaijin didn't added HMD and TWS to it and that 0.3 BR difference hardly matters as 80% of matches are top tier anyway. I don't agree with it being 12.3 but knowing Gaijin they will force us to grind another F-15 variant to get top tier F-15. I'm not sure what other under BR'ed planes you're talking about.
And for Russia the SU-27's loadout is straight up bullshit yet alone being in the same BR. It simply should not be in the game. Not only R-73 has superior mobility compared to 9M, but also it has better IRCCM, all you need to dodge an 9M is to pop few flares continuously and make a turn, don't even need to reduce throttle or anything, while R-73 below 1-2km is straight up lethal and you can't do anything to dodge it. Not gonna talk about R-27ER as everybody knows how OP it is and has no competition, but the R27ET is as well just insane as you can shoot someone from 7km away (farther than render distance btw) without triggering RWR, I had so many times died to SU-27 throwing that thing from space while I am dogfighting someone else.
Su-25's takes damage like no other, made out of pure stalinium while A-10 wings rip in 1-2 shot like made out of paper. Also now they added new ATGM's to SU-25 that has more range than all the NATO SPAA's, so they're pretty much pointless now, and Russia was already dominating with Ka-50 & 52's.
Russia starting to get all-aspect 30G missiles all the way at 10.7 BR while US is still stuck with rear aspect 10-20G missiles, and only get the 9L's at 12.0 with F-16A and F-14B except the A-10 but I'm not considering that because the SU-25 also get's the same treatment and A-10 is slower than some prop planes. A lot of planes at 10.0 BR matches doesn't even have flares.
I could go on and on all day, the double standards doesn't seem to end with this company.
@@INeatFreak Other undertiered U.S. planes include, the P-39N, F4u-1A, P-51C, Xp-50, F8F-1, F4u-4B, F2G, P-51H, P-59A, F80A, F84B, F89B, F-89D, F2H, F104s, F5C, F5E, and F-16As
Yes, while the Su-27 has a large loadout of weapons, its trade flight performance for that weaponry, in a 1v1 a F15A will absolutely dog on the Su-27, this is practically similar to F4E vs Mig21bis back in the day. R-73 while on paper has better IRCCM, it's not seen in game, there are many time in game I've witnessed and have easily flared R-73s, the opposite cannot be said about Aim 9Ms and AAM-3 as yes you can pop flares and turn but how many aircraft does the F15 face that has a ton of countermeasures that can continuously do that 4x. Thats also not mentioning how you need more flares to counter an Aim 9M compared to an R-73 the majority of the time as a result.
The R27ET is a gimmick at most while it cannot trigger RWR, it is still a missile that can be flared. Anyone who has played the R27ET says the same thing that it only works against unaware targets who are not in a dogfight. The moment a player is in a dogfight, and has popped a flare, the R27ET will go for the flare. Like there is a reason why I take 4-73s and 6 R-27ERs, cause the majority of the time the R-27ET will be distracted by a flare.
Yeah the DM and the new ATGM are BS for the Su-25 are BS though before that, you would have planes that could carry Gbu-8s that would could lob bombs from high altitude and can't be touched by any Spaa due to deadzones of radars, and then you also had Agm-65D maverick, which previously was the longest range atgm that can technically be outside any radar Spaa ranges as well. I'm sure many 9.3-11.0br tanks were fine with an A6E at 6-8k altitude lobbing gbu-8s will no way to counter them except in a plane.
The all-aspect 30g missiles that russia gets are just R-60Ms, which as you know are easily flare able and are a very short range missile. If we compare it with the Aim 9G/H, the 9G has much better range, and better flare-resistance compared to the R-60s, heck even the Aim-9J in its current state still has better flare resistance then the R-60M. Both missiles have advantages and disadvantages to each other. To remotely try and make the R-60M as an equal to the Aim 9L is disingenuous as the Aim 9L blows the R-60M out of almost every metric.
Strella being that low of a BR makes me laugh when I suffer in the type 93😢
Badly needed a decompression in 9.3 -10.3 bracket
I’m about to unlock the 9.3 Sprut I started on it last night after unlocking the BMP3 managed to cram 52k rp into it while doin the event last night so with some luck I’ll get it tonight if not tomorrow but I don’t have any other tech tree 9.3s yet so I’ll probably go for the T-72A next I’ve been wanting that since it came to the game so that’ll be my next one
Russian main here:
9.3 is really good when not during sale events. Whenever a sale is going on you get sucked up to 10.3 almost every game.
T72A, T64A, T62M1, 2S25, BMP3, ZSU23-4M4 all make a FANTASTIC lineup, the only downside is your lack of good quality tank optics(minus the BMP3 ofc)
@@Null24 lol back to old ways of shooting and pixels
My AMX-30 Super seeing this
10.3 Russia is really satisfying to play
Hey there, w video and UA-camr, your amazing
when does the sale end
But good luck researching all those vehicles 😆
Great line up, not so good team mates, seeing that you can buy a solid 10.0 line up including cas
Man am I just so glad russian ATGMs were hit by that nerf a while back am I right guys?
how did you get the 11th crew slot?
In the past, if someone used your free registration link and arrived at a certain rank/BR, WT would give you GE and a free crew slot
My favourite 10.3 linup will remian the italian one, its so damn strong
This isnt even including the other T72B, the 2S25M, and the T80UD
Really wish I'd got the Moderna. When the event was live I just wasn't interested in it. I was in fact stupid and I regret it. Maybe some day I'll get one in a gambling crate.
USSR/RU has the best top tier lineup. Both in diversity and in quality.
How the F*** is a T72B from 1989 is at 10.0, m1a2 abrams from 1992 is at 11.7 with the T90M from 2020?
Is that indian camo in steala 10
So annoying to see how well you can control the atgms of that Russian td but all others suck hard now :D I would love to guide the Wiesel missles like that but now it’s just pure pain and useless :/
The Strela and the beast😂😂😂
Personally, I still can't find my liking in high tier Russia. I can't suit myself with the lack of agility that the T series tanks have, and the reverse too. And the one-shot death potential that T Series has, even if I get the first shot at the enemy, I still die to the enemy. if someone can give some quick advice, it would be very appreciated (Yes, I am not very skilled yet)
10.0 or 10.3 means to fight 11.0 premium T90 Spam like every Match.
Thats the problem, only uptiers and teams that usually suck at premium tier.
No T80UD?
There is quite honestly something wrong with USSR at 10.0 nothing. They lose consistantly 13/15 matches on EU servers. Germany on the other hand is easy mode with the Leo2s that easily push without fear.
The Leo2A4s are very painful, mostly because they lack proper firepower (DM33).
Skill issue
@@Optimusprime56241 Nah, there is no such thing as skill in this game where everything comes down to RnG. Not that map knowledge is helpful either. Never had Red Desert since I started playing so I wouldn't know where to go.
Please do it with sweden
Strela is 10.3 but Japan's Type 81 (C) is now at 11.3 ??? Type 81 cannot lock onto low or far helis, sub-space orbiting CAS, or strike drones
Да! Not great not terible. Working as intended. Buy our 10.0 premium да?
Strela locks reliably on 4km and closer for non-afterburning targets all aspect, 6km rear aspect.
For afterburning targets I've gotten locks out to 10km in all aspect as long as the engine is hot enough.
Strela struggles to lock onto anything without a jet engine past 4km and helis with active protection IRCM are impossible to launch on(though that goes for all IR sams)
@@Null24good info. seems like strela can take out strike drones that are 7-8km away also ?
@@blaken3824 furthest ive ever locked onto a drone? 6.5km. They have very tiny heat sigs and even when you have a solid lock, sometimes the missile just goes dumb and cant track. Furthest kill and reliable launch range for drone size targets is about 4.5-5km
play top tier Italy again again.
Yo Justin I just got your decal for my fuji and absolutely love it its really cool and makes me feel like a pro (even tho I'm not) maybe make a sticker on your store?

平衡？不存在的，bvvd的孝子贤孙们
Since Justin started his channel he talking bad things about the USSR and always favored USA which makes him not an objectiv reviewer on UA-cam.
No war thunder youtuber can be completely unbiased. And ive never heard Justin speak bad abt the russian tree only how broken it is
He points out flaws in every vehicle he plays, recently had a whole video dedicated to the fact the abrams is less than competitive at top tier at the moment. I dont think he is completely objective, but I wouldnt say he is blindly biased for or against a nation either. So while I agree about him not being wholly objective, the sentiment you're trying to impart is entirely wrong.
Justin got nerfed but not russian bias 🫡
The fuji is giving me a hard time with a Russian 10.x lineup man. I am telling you. 4s reload speed and thermals? Too op this thing.
They put the 292 from 10.0 to 10.3 WOW what a balancing move! That thing shreads 11.7 MBTs! And than there's the 2S38 in the exact same br where the Schützenpanzer PUMA sits....I mean what should I explain about it? The PUMA has a 30mm cannon with APDFSD rounds if you grinded them. The 2S38 has a 57mm gun with APFSD, APHE and HE from the start since it is a premium, yeah so balanced. Russian bias, premium bias surely exist
