Apparently the 2 Sturer Emils which actually saw combat were quite effective in their intended role. War Thunder does have some long range maps, but these were designed for very long range engagements across the Russian steppe and rolling fields. Pretty cool that they built the Sturer Emil on the VK.30.01(H) chassis and decided to stuff a great big 128mm gun in there while they were at it. From what I've read, they were very particular with their tactical use as they were all to aware of the threat that aircraft and artillery posed. War Thunder is kind of the perfect miniature test environment for this thing. It really shows you its strengths and limitations, but unfortunately, for a tank that was designed to engage others from kilometers away, War Thunder is also an incredibly punishing environment. It must've been terrifying for Russian crews engaged by these things, especially considering they were introduced relatively early into the war. Of the two Sturer Emils, "Max" was destroyed in 1942, while "Moritz" was captured in 1943 and can still be seen today in the Kubinka tank museum.
The aircraft issue was thought of by the Germans and what they did was pretty awesome. They made the propellent casing aircraft proof. When an airplane came to strafe it the propellents would be sealed and not explode. Well the sturer max was destroyed by one of propellents which sparked and ignited. The crew did survive
Yes I used it up to 6.3/6.7 I believe one of the rounds has more penetration that the tiger 2, at 6.3/6.7 it worked well sniping killing almost all things it shot because of the large amount of explosive mass
Honestly, the Emil is probably my favorite vehicle in the entire German ground tree. Panzers, panthers, and tigers are cool and all, but strictly in terms of being excellent in its own niche, this guy's where it's at.
I love it to is my favorite to tigers and panthers cant normaly one hit a IS or jumbo or some other heavys the emil can just blow ever thing up one shot at its BR
Just the thing I needed to see while I'm stuck here in the hospital. Please keep up the good work you are doing. I always look forward to watching your video. Keep strong
This battle is the perfect example of how the games should play out. This gamemode, with just two caps for each team, results in the most intense and long lasting battles i have experienced in WT. I remember one game with a super close clutch on Frozen Pass, in which I made 16 kills with my whole line up (Leo 2A4, 2A5, 2A6, Tiger UHT, FlakRakRad), died 5 times and on the 6th spawn the game was 3400 to 3500 for their team with 2min left. At that point it was 2vs2, killed one who was camping our spawn and killed the last guy, to push their tickets down to 3300, with just 20 seconds left on the clock.
The feeling of penning a Jumbo from the front with this and all the crew dying of overpressure before the shrapnel even touches them is so satisfying lol
YAAAAAAS My third-favorite tank in the game, after the Tiger and the Puma :D If I'm ever feeling down on my luck, I just play this and it's basically therapeutic.
I love the emil and dicker max equally. They have brilliant depression and can one shot basically everything they see even when upteired a decent amount.
On top of the br changes, over pressure has made the 75 Sherman's HE the bane of all open top SPG's 600 grams of explosive mass. I know its more like 300 but it feels like more
Always love some good 410 action, either watching or flying it myself. Can't wait for it to be released in IL-2 Sturmovik soon. Great video. Been stuck in Isolation due to Covid since Thursday and your videos are a great way to combat the boredom.
22:43 i cant believe they added the combustion flames coming out of the exhaust manifolds on the plane motors. crazy detail ill bet 99% of players never notice
It may not look like it has much armor, but those two bumps on the front of the chassis and massive breech tend to absorb a lot of damage from frontal attacks. When one does get in a great spot for using that gun depression it can result in lots of bounces. That and having a giant barrel pointed at someone leads to lots of people panicking and missing critical spots.
I once got Gaijined so hard in this. In the same game a T-34, a KV-1 and a Concept 3 (Yes, a bloody Concept 3) ricocheted off my round. The T-34 even did it twice, back to back, and there wasn't even any angle his hull was just turned at me at a lower point than i was standing on too. If Thunder Show wasn't made by Gaijin i definitely would have got the prize for that
This thing is one of the big hitters against the Jumbo, also if the task you're doing is the one I think it is - Kills with a gun 35mm or larger as an aircraft - It can be air-to-air kills as well
Wow! Master class on winning a seemingly landslide loss, in a tank that isn't very effictive and fragile! Very inspiring. Now I am going to go die in my td in the first minute.
Hey dude, could you do some more early German Vehicles? I managed to get a friend into the game and he's been doing Germany, and most of what I know about Germany is how to kill Germany, so having some videos of someone who knows German vehicles a lot better than me would be really useful for helping him learn the game.
Good lord, I wish I had your kind of skill with those big cannon birds, like the Me-410 🐦 ...I end up pancake’ing 90% of the time trying to actually land an effective hit haha
The worst thing to happen to me while playing the stur Emil is over pen a ASU 57 and the he didn’t go off and it doesn’t have a MG to fight back after the 20 sec reload
at "a dire situation" you could have deployed airbreaks and might have benefited from decreasing engine power but it would require you to expect to miss
today i got the kv2, and my 5th game on it, only with fpe and parts i got a 12 kills game :) i was amazed my best used to be 8. Stalinium at its summum

Longer range engagements wouldn't work in War Thunder for the Sturer since it has an atrocious 5x fixed zoom modeled in game.
yeah, the one at Kubinka had 20 kill marks on the cannon barrel by the time is was captured
The aircraft issue was thought of by the Germans and what they did was pretty awesome. They made the propellent casing aircraft proof. When an airplane came to strafe it the propellents would be sealed and not explode. Well the sturer max was destroyed by one of propellents which sparked and ignited. The crew did survive
the funny thing is, sturer, german for stubborn, got this name outside of combat for roadwheels failing left and right and being a chore to repair
No way im reading all that
I loved the Sturer Emil just for the Depression.
my favorite thing about the fat max and Sturer is that they're "down hill battlers" and I love them too.
@@CallofDutyBlackOps28 Waffentrager is great if you use it in reverse cuz those stupid humps on the front. Great for peaking around stuff.
When I first read this comment I thought you were referring to the emotional depression caused by playing this tank
It’s almost like mine
@@hobbesthehollow it causes that type of depression too
This thing even works at up-tier, I’m using this thing at 6.3😆
OddBaws: this tank suffers at lower BR
In Game: proceeds to get 10 kills even with damage
So you are using it just like it was used irl
Yes I used it up to 6.3/6.7 I believe one of the rounds has more penetration that the tiger 2, at 6.3/6.7 it worked well sniping killing almost all things it shot because of the large amount of explosive mass
I've genuinely never used the emil in its battle rating, always bring it up to 6.0 - 7.0
finally someone shedding some light on how underrated the Sturer Emil is
Honestly, the Emil is probably my favorite vehicle in the entire German ground tree. Panzers, panthers, and tigers are cool and all, but strictly in terms of being excellent in its own niche, this guy's where it's at.
I love it to is my favorite to tigers and panthers cant normaly one hit a IS or jumbo or some other heavys the emil can just blow ever thing up one shot at its BR

could you please play the british heavy rockets near 3.0 like the uncle tom and tiny tim
I will play for you the tank of your people! But I won't film it as I am very shy
Wait brits have tiny tims at 3.0? that's complete bs
@@ayazamikanz5299 it 3.7 I believe on the premium he’ll cat
I like Hans in the back of the tank, granades flying around but chillin like he is in a whirlpool.
You are such a skilled yet polite player…. It is so fun and uplifting to watch your videos
YAAAAAAS
My third-favorite tank in the game, after the Tiger and the Puma :D
If I'm ever feeling down on my luck, I just play this and it's basically therapeutic.
I love the emil and dicker max equally. They have brilliant depression and can one shot basically everything they see even when upteired a decent amount.
on this tank rn and that 1000m shot was crazy top tier content
Use the Japanese Ho-Ro for sniping with its 15cm artillery HE
Sturer is my favorite SPG for long range yeets at medium BR. So good at perforating heavy tanks. Thanks for the fun vid Odd.
Ah yes the dicker max and sturet emiele 70 % driving 20 % reloading 10 shooting
On top of the br changes, over pressure has made the 75 Sherman's HE the bane of all open top SPG's 600 grams of explosive mass. I know its more like 300 but it feels like more

22:43 i cant believe they added the combustion flames coming out of the exhaust manifolds on the plane motors. crazy detail ill bet 99% of players never notice
it's pretty noticeable
Good timing I was literally looking the other day to see if you had a video on the sturer emil haha

This tanks gun is longer than my forehead :D
Odd, my dude, sick ass game! 19 freaking kills. So sick. You and Philly are the best. IMO
"That man had happiness on his tank."
Yes! Finally this dude gets some attention. All the Shermans underestimate it cause they have a .50 but it can snipe Jumbos 1000 meters out lol.
Man I usually get strafed to death in the stubborn Emil.
it’s that feeling when you use the same shell as the maus in low tier.
HOW?! This thing is an absolute shore to use
ah yes oddbawz the god of every vehicl
Very stubborn, until someone lobs HEAT or HE at you. Then you're insta dead lol
Role playing as a real life German tanker running out of ammo and not targets
I once got Gaijined so hard in this. In the same game a T-34, a KV-1 and a Concept 3 (Yes, a bloody Concept 3) ricocheted off my round. The T-34 even did it twice, back to back, and there wasn't even any angle his hull was just turned at me at a lower point than i was standing on too.

Good to know someone else shares my view on the srurmer Emil
Had to play back 3 times at 1:01 to makes sure I heard what I heard
That was me lol
Huge thanks for the video as always! I've kept my promise and became a patron FeelsGoodMan.
God I love quirky tanks like that.
Day 66 of telling Odd his daily uploads are appreciated

Strange word where there were at least 225 St. Emils built. A terrifying, strange world.
Yes intense music and derp gun time
That camo looks really awesome! 😍😍
That was a hell of a match...o7 ODD!
When the Dicker is Max! 😳
ok this is some sorcery because this man did not get gaijined by armor eating dem shells without doing shit
that's a lovely camo on your emil odd..
How on earth can odd just find everyone, like I swear his ears can hear everything and his eyes can find anything.
Any tips to find players better?
I think Keen Vision does help,
ultra low quality
Damn what a match, this was like a movie
That camo is so sick dude.
After that atrocious Scotland vs Czech game at least I can kick back and watch a bit of Oddbawz to ease my anger.
Can u play the 6.3 amx-13 or the amx M4?
Overkill on that asu57 bawz
Dude you got eagle eyes to spot those targets
This thing is one of the big hitters against the Jumbo, also if the task you're doing is the one I think it is - Kills with a gun 35mm or larger as an aircraft - It can be air-to-air kills as well
german Derp guns are a beast when left untouched
Probably my second favourite vehicle in the game.

Compared to Odd I should still be practising in the reserve tanks
Good lord, I wish I had your kind of skill with those big cannon birds, like the Me-410 🐦

This thing is a menace even at 6.3.
GG
Excellent vid, really enjoyed it cheers
Best War Thunder Content Creator! 😍
My name is Emil, and I can confirm that the depression is present
800 grams of tnt equivalent explosive filler is enough to make any German suffer. Needs a buff.
I need me a PBM-1 video, Mr. Odd. Need it bad…
The sturer Emil is great for dealing with jumbos
the first thing come up to my head when i heard the 19 kills is : wait ... isnt this thing can just carry out 15 shells?
What a game, great job Odd
Earlier this week I got a 17 kill game as a puma no deaths
Why does the cannon sound like a pea shooter? An update ago cannons sounded amazing
I found that using the battle gear helps climbing a little.
Like, honestly, how does Odd consistently get these insane matches. I know its lower tiers but in a Sturer Emil? Paid actors for sure 🙃
If I had to guess it’s because he doesn’t and he just plays enough games that good ones happen more often
Sturer Emil on 4.7 is overkilling machine
I love how there were only 2 sturer emils but somehow he has the 225th tank lol
God, you're so good in tanks, but when you get the plane in your hands I'm waiting to watch a massacre.. !
What a bunch of incredible plane team. Wow Odd your the best.
Love the new intro odd
The worst thing to happen to me while playing the stur Emil is over pen a ASU 57 and the he didn’t go off and it doesn’t have a MG to fight back after the 20 sec reload
Best td when uptiered
at "a dire situation" you could have deployed airbreaks and might have benefited from decreasing engine power but it would require you to expect to miss
When your lineup is labeled 3.3 but you have a 4.7 instead
A video everyday. Now that’s commitment. A comment for the algorithm
Supreme content here
I love the 128mm nuke launcher is my favorite for dealing jumbos because of it’s I don’t care attitude
Hello there, odd could you Play the conq from the Brits? I never see these bc of the repair cost so i would Love to See that Thing in action
today i got the kv2, and my 5th game on it, only with fpe and parts i got a 12 kills game :) i was amazed my best used to be 8. Stalinium at its summum
My best kill record is 8 with dicker max lol
Somehow some new sounds are very nice but the Sturer Emil Gun sounds like a metall can falling on the ground
I just don't understand how you did well in that hunk of garbage, I bloody hate that thing.
HOLY SHIT, HERE IS EMILL !!
MOST Powerful gun in WWII 12.8cm kwk 44
This is the only tank i can say i am consistantly good at.....for some reason i get double and triple aces all the time
This thing is a KV killer
Good tip on the CAP for Battle maps. Frustrating watching people trying to recap when all it is doing is saying "I am here, come kill me" :)
I use this thing at 5.7. Why? Because yeeting IS-2s with the 128mm cures my depression.
Hey odd can you please play a zero (a6m2-a6m5) or the chi-to at 4.7 pretty bad tank other than the gun
