The fact that even after the BR changes the Maus and T32E1 can still face this...
I almost killed one in my Maus once. Kept destroying his barrel, and I tried driving around him but he shot my tracks with his coax. A teammate ended up getting him.
if you are Maus you can one shot this thing from the front with Pzgr 43, shoot the driver optics right below the gun. If the shell doesn´t pen (which it should) the overpressure will kill all the crew :D
All this provided the Obj didn't already kill you with its stabilizer lol
@@AllMightyKingBowser😂u forgot volumetric existed and overpressure reworked (nerfed)
«Oh no, poor Maus»
@@your_comrade7119 what is volumetric ????(im not joking)
Obj 279 was always able to tank bombs, since day 1, that's why it's so popular.
That is because it has a lot of spaced armor that makes up those smooth curves so it can soak up the shrapnel before it even hits the real armor.
I tried to spade my 8.3 - 8.7 tanks for the past few days while grinding the event and this thing has been absolutely nuking me and my teams
China’s 105 apfsds rips it apart
Nice, another tank i'll never be able to afford being OP still. Big oof, hope it someday returns for us to be more obtainable. Would love to have that tank.
Maybe gaijin will one day grace us with the object 277.
@@jellevandervelde704the ome from wot
wouldnt it be like an upgraded t-10?
@@shipi4079Yes sir
@@ej1025but we already have the T-10M
This might as well have been called "Obj. 279 bullies British tanks."
I’ve been playing the cheiftain a lot and honestly it’s quite a good counter to the 279 because it’s armour is so good against APHE, still worse but a fun fight
I miss when the black camos had a unique effect on decals, where they would basically turn everything into a gray silhouette. Looked so good with the fire decals.
Lol I killed one of these things frontally with a Gepard. I wasn’t even using the APDS belt either, I was just using the normal belt. I still have no idea how that happened.
Sometimes there's a singular pixel on the vehicle that can for some reason get penetrated.
i pend a t72( the prem ) with that AA from the usa tec tree with proxy rounds and killed it from the front😂 i have also pened a t80 with a 50cal and killed the driver as well like tf 😂
HE overpressure, the 279 gets killed by small calibre HE shells quite easily.
@@Rono99 yeah.. 50cals OP... I killed a T90 in Merkava with 50cals... It just went through driver port and killed the driver
@@SanjaySingh-gm9vd naw not op just bad dm models , like how my 600mm of pen bounces off the sides of a t80 a lot lol
Justin will you visit the magach 5? Its a slightly heavier M48GA2 but with era...at a lower br. Gaijin seems to have forgotten about that thing
Soviet Union had a lot of crazy prototypes that were never built. Man, I'd love to see Object 490 in War Thunder, that thing looks monstrous.
Object 490 was built. Basically it’s GDI Mammoth tank. 1100mm armor , means 2000mm equivalent in rolled steel. 152mm gun and powerful engine.
Crazy Soviet engineering
This tank wqs built. There is even video of it here in YT of it running
the intro is the main reason why I love this. Can even survive some bullpups occasionally.
despite the fuse sensitivity only being 19mm it likes to not detonate on light tanks but better than the time its aphe performed like solid AP
Well, one thing i can say for that one BBT with a BBD aka the gun
Now try the Leopard 1 which sits at 8.0. Face tanks against Stabs, APFSDS, Composite Armor, ERA, LSF, and Thermals.
Literally one of the most broken tanks in the game. So hard to kill it. Would still love to own it tho, only playing since 22 sadly.
funnily enough I dont have an issue with these things playing 8.7 china, most people ive come up against with em have just held w thinking theyre invincible, but the HEAT and APFSDS the 8.7 chinese tanks can pretty handily take care of these.
Yeah, they can make short work of the 279.
The Object 279 never makes sound in my game along with many others. Usually I get sound from only my own teammates and most enemies are silent.
this tank should be an off meta choice not something that is basically unobtainable and ruins 7.7-8.7 matches. its like kv1E but high br and even more broken, but gaijin wont nerf it becasue "it performs bad" as they say with the kv1E too which is just most likely a lie.
9:03 humm yes?
also you SLAUTERED enemy team in this video!
I was about to ask if you could do a 279 vid. And here you are doing one 😂
One time a german bomb landed on the the engine of my obj279 and I didn't even get tracked just drove out of the big ditch that the bomb made😂
Does anyone know where to shoot this thing with an xm1? I’ve non penned every shot I’ve ever fired at it
You oofed Soppu, how could you, but you wouldnt oof the adorable M4 SOPMOD II Jr right?
Me in my ptz89: parry this filthy mortal
I see people perform terribly at 9.7 with me being a troll using t34-85 topping the scoreboard lmao
eh ive learned that you can kind of just treat this like a t72. weakspots are almost identical, pop goes the turret ya know?
Took this out after the br change and just got one shot 6 battles straight. Its no longer my top choice to play
I love when people play the Obj279 and feel overconfident that they are invincible. Lemme just get my T55-M with the M1000A1
I remember a match where 3 of my teammates and i were trying to destroy this thing for like 3 min of us just shooting at it in random spots
11:20 That's probably because there are so many players with the same-ish name lol. We have one in our squadron with almost identical name
I felt lucky today, as a punk in my AMX Super, to face one then survive a shot and sent a 105mm APFSDS into his driver port to dislogde the turret...
Then a little squissy BMP-2 passed by and sent all of his 30mm APDS into my side, with the same result as the 279.
Guess my luck for this year it's already over😶
One thing to note is that the armor shouldn't be able to bounce dm23/33, but it does. And it does it incredibly consistently. Ive been grinding out 9.0 italy and just today i saw like 8 of these. Using dm23 i was only able to pen one a single time. And thats not to say i dont know where the weak spots are, this thing just evaporates them.
skill issue. This thing can only tank with its turret. It's really strong. But its hull is cardboard against any HEAT or APFSDS. All you need to do is just shoot at his center of mass and 8/10 times it will be a one shot.
@@1222dss I'm ranked in the top 25k for realistic so while I'm not incredibly good I know what I'm doing. The armor is just broken and bounces things it shouldn't be able to on a regular basis. If you don't wanna believe and keep huffing copium go for it.
@@sushiman3817 it does not bounce anything if you place your shot in his center of mass. Sometimes "gaijined" happens but this happens all the time regardless of the tank.
I mean. If you can't penetrate 200-300mm of armour with darts or heat it's skill issue.
@@1222dss I can gather the clips I have assuming Nvidia didn't delete the temp files if you want. It isn't skill issue to watch the rounds plink off center mass shots multiple times. It's bad game design. Quit sucking snail dick and just admit that something that everyone else, even the best of the best, see as broken is broken. You don't have to be a contrarion for the sake of it.
i have had a somewhat similar experience surviving bombs in the chieftain mk10 at least as long as the bomb is in front of me
Happy I grinded for this bad boy. Gotta say the IS-7 was the worst grind imo.
I swear when I see the Object 279 I hear Vordt of the Boreal Valley.
the centurion mk3 apds can go through the front of this vehicle since their buffs
I wonder if the reason you recognized the name of the player in the urban chaos segment is because that was the name of the character you had on the type 90 for the joke skin.
I'm so happy to know you remember that xP
Likely too!
My luck is that I started playing WT right after the event for that thing ended. If i knew back then that this thing would end up costing so much i would have bought it but god damn 600$ is half of my monthly income lol
The 279 was my first crafting event and I completed it without spending any cash. However, gaijin refused to reward me what I needed for the black camo. Sucked
How so?
For the skin you just needed to play the space fight event around that spacestation. It was not really difficult or time consuming as the current events are. It was quite easy to get the skin.
@@tabanne9738 I kept not getting the drop. I was getting EVERYTHING but it
@@jasoncrawford4929 still don't understand what you mean. You needed to play the space event and you got paint dropped for any number of minutes in the battle. It was not too hard to get it. With enough motivation you were able to get more than one. The skin as completed skin only dropped rarely you needed to assemble it... I kinda regretted that later that I did not get the AU-1 black cammo. However, since they returned in those ever so often boxes you could buy them on the marked for less than 5 GJN, so I got the black AU-1 years later. You should have gotten it then. Even the obj. black skin was going cheap then.
@tabanne9738 ah, yeah I knew it was a drop but kept not getting what I needed from playing n didn't know
14:03 you were gonna talk about the leo 1 not belonging in 8.0 but then you forgot to finish
Could you further elaborate on that please?
Heck yeah good thing I got that tank 3 years ago (around 2020)
Justin, BBT better stands for Big Bombastic Tank or something I don't want to here that it stands for something not family friendly, JK.
Thanks for the video man!
My conqueror can pen the turret face of this I think, and has more turret armour at 313mm of armour on turret face and it’s at 7.7!
people kept telling me it was a skill issue that this thing was nigh impossible to kill: i thought i was alone in thinking this thing is op. seems i’m not the only one.
I truly love my Obj. 279 it was first tank in the game i got points to get a nuke and drop it...
As long as they move the maus up and the t10m down they can do whatever they want with this
I have the 279, and when it fist came out, holy shit was I dominating. After a while, it got a few indirect nerfs with the addition of more stabilized APFSDS and HEATFS slingers, not to mention people with thermals at its BR, it felt mediocre at times. If you got full up-tiered, you were fucked. Now, with it's pen buffed, and its worst nemesis brought up in BR, it dominated like no other. The other match, I was bouncing APFSDS and APDS left and right while I was one shotting everything! With this update, I am just getting double ace games often, its bonkers lmao.
Type 16 prototype is still a pain to face though. Laser rangefinder, APDSDS, and thermals at 9.0... all of that on a very fast wheeled chassis.
god i remember his event. I sold every material i got and ended up paying 30$ and all the gaijin coins i got from materials to buy this this for 80 coins as well as having enough materials to build the black skin. Also your honda is full of waifu stickers isnt it?
Maybe...
Hah, no. No waifus, yet.
"Big Black Tank"
I love my 279
I still remember getting it during the event and being an absolutely unstoppable menace at 8.3, it was insane
Indeed fun days
I got it from the event but I stopped playing after getting it because that event burnt me out so I never got to use it at 8.3 but the br changes are allowing me to see how it was back then
we gotta see pictures of your honda now
Was a joke, I have no decals on my honda.
Yet.. xP
Justin's beard is so perfectly groomed that it almost looks fake lol
I trimmed it that very same night I filmed that, looks a bit better now xP
It's a monster on downtiers but honestly, the tank is not really that good if it faces 9.0 and higher.
Damn i wish we could still get it cause I started playing way after this tank came out
I've been seeing 279s almost every single game (sometimes multiple at a time) ever since this update.
I thought this tank was incredibly expensive and rare or something, where did they all come from and how tf do I kill it?
So it is rare, but for a long time its been really fucking unpleasant to play because it lretry much lived in a full 9.7 uptier. Playing it now my average games are in the 9.0-9.3 range wich when combined with the Bar changes makes it enjoyable again. Its not as strong as it was back when it was 8.3. Its a very difficult tank to balance
If you have APFS or HEAT you can quite easily kill it, just don't think you'll lolpen, it requires actual aiming
@@hoshyro My AMX-10-RC bounced off the side of the turret, I don't know what else I could possibly do.
@@wallachia4797 Shoot below the turret
@@wallachia4797 not shoot 300-350 mm thick turret side? Maybe? Meanwhile it's hull side under the turret is 180ish mm and can be penned by anything
Saludos justin veo tus videos con subtitulos y me gustan
I can't pen it with dm33 or any 105 mm cannon anywhere
I wish eventually they would bring back event vehicles so that people like me that either weren’t playing when the event was on or weren’t able to dedicate the time to the event could have a chance at these vehicles
Germany mains: "Decompress heavy tanks!"
Soviet mains: [wicked grin]
Its got the same balancing problem as every mid and high br heavy tank
I need to know how the is preforms after the new BR changes!
Big Boris Tank 😉
i wish i had the 279
It bounced DM33 from my TAM yesterday 😢
BBT- Big Black Tank. I mean that is what it is 🫤
VT1-2 is still 8.7, thank god we dont see more of those
Lol its shell got stronger? When it came into the game it had 330 or a bit lower than that
I sold this vehicle to get the AUBL 74 HVG. This is a good vehicle but i had so much fun playing AUBL and i also researched nearly all italian tech tree
I feel sad for u
@@SERGIU2401 I already had researched all soviet ground vehicles by the time i got this vehicle. There was no reason to keep it. Now i have also researched all italian vehicles so it's a win win situation for me. I don't regret my decision.
@@yawarfareed i u say so, for me the best is to keep and sell after. I sold the is7 for 600 and i still have the obj279 in a coupon. I bought like 7 packs and still have alot of gjn left. I also have the italian one and its not the best grinder imo.
Or even better, like the Maus sabot, it could fire an 85mm shell at 1,500m/s
Big Bad Tonk?!?
So I'm assuming bbt means big black tank? If im right then God my mind is warped
Well it's a tank that was designed to survive a nuke attack.
Balls BusTer?
Got 4 nukes in a row today playing this thing lmao
Gepard can instant kill the 279, as 1 of the pround owner, i keep experience it
Just what we needed, another russian buff
Big black tank-BBT
Well enjoy it until it gets pushed to 9.0 or 9.3 in the next BR changes.
Currently playing the 279 hehehehe
Bro has a BBT.
Justin why don’t you ever use vehicles that are “bad” or harder to use? And why don’t you ever play lower br ranges such as 5.7
yea gaijin def didn't take a mysterious dictator's side
they def rejected an offer/threat a certain country made
Quick question does Heat shell 1 shot open top tanks?
It should due to overpressure mechanics. It can be finicky though.
I love you Justin.
Market is strange....how is this 600 Gaijin Bucks and a Surblinde is over 800?
I'm only salty because I'd REALLY like a Surblinde. LOL
Bbt stands for big black tank
Rip T54's fighting 9.0
I can’t express how much I hate playing against these
What was the buff?
Without watching yet I believe he might be talking about the br changes have made this thing not face certain vehicles. Essentially a buff to many vehicles that rely on armour
The only problem with the 279 now is that the lineup for it is not as good, the event bmp with the thermals and the t62m went up in br. So you have not as great light tanks and just a t62 and t55s in the lineup.
You can also play the Obj 435 if I am not wrong
The russian 8.7 is stil very good, what are you talking about?
You're kidding, right?
Russian 8.7 is probably one of the more oppressive lineups in the game, with the premium T-55 and also the AMD-1, T-62 and IT-1, BMP-2 + whatever broken CAS you want to slot in.
If you also put in the 279 in, I can argue it's an actually overpowered lineup.
@@wallachia4797 MiG15 BIS Ish is the best CAS at 8.3-8.7, i refuse to accept any other answer
BBT = Big Black Tank
i really want this tank so bad
So why were all other nations purged in 8.7 and Russia still has a huge line up in this BR???
600 GJN yes. then you look at the IS-7 that gets sold for 1800 :D
Hell yeah is 7
BBT Big black tail?
still dies in one hit when i play it. it only survives bombs.
Using a conquerer with 530+ mm of pen and this guy just bounced, shattered or absorbed all my shots, this really just showed that war thunder is just open about their Russian bias now
It was hilarious fighting this thing in an ambt because they were overconfident because they only saw an m60.
I just shoot the cupola on that m60 everytime I face one while driving this. They blow up 100% of the time lol
@@barronhelmutschnitzelnazi2188 it's wonderful to see players like you abusing these things getting obliterated by an ATGM.Really,at this point it's my form of entertainment ruining your fun,since you're ruining the fun of everyone else
love you bro:)
BBT=BigBlackTank?
