AMX-30B2 BRENUS such a cool vehicle with all that fancy stuff. It definitely deserves to be better placed in WT, even if that would mean removing APFSDS. So what should I play first, from the next update?
The issue I have with stabilizers in this game is not the act of stabilizing itself, but the fact that it gives an insane turret turn rate boost in comparison to non-stabilized guns. As long as the reticle is close to your mouse, you will just snap onto your targets regardless of your historical turret turn rate.
That, plus the fact pretty much all stabilizers overperform since they are only "on/off", as opposed to working progressively worse at higher speeds and on more uneven terrain. Like the Sherman stab which shouldn't "switch-off" at 24 km/h, but rather over 24 km/h it shouldn't stabilize enough for it to matter.
Now i'm certain Gaijin do have a different matchmaking for France players, you are always on the worst team and you are always supposed to carry them being top player and still losing, you are always put with the worst players that are searching a match witch Gaijin just made France an enjoyable playable nation only if you are among the best amongst the best players and so they made France as an elite only branch of the game witch only pro players can have a go at it and have fun.
(Im very bad in english). Actually the amx30 should have in the game a stab for the sights, and when you shoot, the sistems waits to the cannon to aliags with the sights and then it shots.
Continuing the French suffering, the French 7.3 lineup has been completely bumped to 7.7, with no stabilizers, LRFs, or apds, or apfsds. No matter the BR, gaijin hates France.
French players have been begging for a stabilized tank to compete for a while now and gaijin said they would add that amx10. French players were exited and glad that they were finally getting the stabilized version of the amx10rc. Then we saw it was a case mate tow missile version. Life of a French player is pain and agony that gaijin feeds off of.
ive unlocked every tank in the french tree (except the 11.xx) and enjoyed every second...i dont know, they perform extremely well for me...and the 20 mil of the amx 30 series is just a pleasure
Hey man love your videos, been watching them for a long time now and it always brings me joy watching you play such a awesome but annoying game and was wondering if you could do another maus video before it comes out for research again for their anniversary?
Im pretty sure the late AMX 30s had a system to help the gun to stay on target, but since its not a "classic" stabiliser Gaijin didnt include it in the game
I knew it was more like a shot coordination mechanism. The gun wasn't stabilized, but it would automatically fire when it went over the target, basically timing the shot. Only the gunner sight was stabilized so you could actually see what you want to shoot at.
No that's just a myth, it never was stabilised in any way, and it's the same thing for "when the gun went in the same direction it fired". What it had is COTAC, allowing for the commander to preset the firing distance, allowing the tank to quickly thake the shot.

Рік тому+22
With the AMX-30s I like to not ever use the breaks, cause the second you do or fully stop, you bounce. If you let go of the keyboard it is stable enough in a pinch... even if not as good as a stabilizer
I'm maining France right now and just unlocked the leclerc. What the Brenus and other French 8.7 tanks taught me is how to time that suspension bounce as fast as I can. obviously not as good as a stab, but once you learn how the tank behaves, with the suspension, its almost predictable enough to get good with. it certainly helps when playing other non-stabbed vehicles. I love a mobile vehicle in war thunder, and the french line is apparently my bread and butter. The AMX series of tanks are also weirdly tough - I've survived many rounds with the BRENUS with only two crew left, after having grabbed one from a cap.
Funnily enough, that's more or less what the French also did but with an automated system. So rather than keeping the gun steady they programmed it to fire when the suspension bounce exactly aligned with the gunner's aim.
French 8.7 arent easy to use, but after a few years of experience, i would take them against any russian mbt at the same BR. the mobility, LRF and thermal combo makes them so much better with my playstyle, and a whole lot more sastifiying to use. The only thing is to not get seen first. and city maps are hard. i mostly treat them as light tanks, except that its not because of the lack of armor (partially it is), but mostly because of the lack of stab
That’s the difficulty with balancing a game like this. A tank can be simultaneously under powered, OP, or perfectly balanced depending on play style and experience. It’s far from an easy thing to get right.
My experience with FR is EXACTLY the same as yours, which honestly feels good as you are a good player. - No stabilizer anywhere, while FR had plenty of stabilized versions IRL, so Gayjing is just being obnoxious as always. - Having to play defensively all the time because of the lack of stabilizer, while you get 360 no-scoped by rubias tanks. - Mars15 having ammo spread everywhere for no reason instead of packed in the turret first THEN in the lower part. - SK having really good HEAT shells for some obscure reasons (which came as a good surprise). - Most fun I had was with the DCA, which is somehow stronger than most tanks. - ACRA is pretty good AFAIR.

For the record, the AMX 30 was a revolutionary tank at the time, perhaps even the best in the world. The French were the first or among the first to focus on mobility instead of armor, which was then done by all the countries in the world
It wasn't that revolutionary + the Leo1 did most of what the AMX 30 could do a year sooner. This is why the Leo1 got exported to a lot of countries while the AMX 30 only to a few. The AMX 30 is basicly a weird cousin of the Leo 1, as it was born from the failed Euro Panzer project which gave birth to both Leo1 and AMX 30. The only difference is the Leo1 became a really successful tank, unlike the AMX 30.
@@willdelta4292not really. What you are saying is just false. The amx30 came one year sooner than the léopard 1 (1960 vs 1961). And yes the amx30 was révolutionnary and at least as good as the leo1. And not à weird copy. Try to read and get good informations.
@@antoinehuguet5105 a quick google could easily show that you are wrong beyond help. The Leo1's design started in 1956, and entered service with the Heer in 1965, while the AMX-30's design was started in 1959, and entered service in 1966 with the Baguette Army. The AMX-30 brough nothing new to the table. Nothing. I donno why you french ppl love that rolling junkyard so much when it's just a badly designed stolen Leo 1, because originally, the Leo 1 was name Euro-Panzer and was designed in joint venture by Italy, Germany, and you french guys. Italy left cause they had no money to found the project, and you guys left because "you wanted an only french design", so you basicly STOLE as much stuff from the join venture as possible, while all that german did is scrap the prototype's turret and make a better one. No srsly. The AMX-30 was basicly a much more expensive Leo1 with a 20mm coax for some reason, and this is why the Leo 1 was exported to much more countries then the AMX-30. And on the top of that, it never got a proper electro-hydraulic stabilisator ever. Like what the fuck. Beside the FT-17, the only semi competent french tank you guys made was the Leclerc tank. Don't cope with your patriotic feeling that you guys won wwi and wwii it was the US both times, and your tank design was always mediocre at best. You should just buy Leo2s like the brits did and give up on designing tank when you can't!
@@Phantom-xp2co yeah but they are way slower, european tanks prefered mobility over armor, mostly because of the western european landscape were mobility is life. And the AMX 30 Even if it wasn't sold was still a really good tank and has shown it in multiples opérations.
make sure to make use of the hydro-pneumatic suspension on the amx-10rc, it lets you have quite insane gun depression while keeping a very low profile. And when you're not using it for gun depression, lower your height to make your frame smaller, harder target to see and hit. btw Like one single bush is all it takes to cover up the front of the amx-10rc, very dirty if you play it like how the french designed it to be used.
The amx30s didn't need stabilisation due to the computer in the tank where you held down the trigger and when the gun lined up with the aimer it fired basically removing the need for one, however it seems hard to implement into warthunder. Just thought I'd share that information with you
I'm french main and first time I played AMX 30 BRENUS I first hated it but the more I play it the more I like it, now it's one of my favourite tank idk why
Not, at release time. French was always a rough grind nation, with very costly repair costs on the few gems (namely the Lorraine 40t). Playing with premium AMX30 + Premium account was already barely enough for a medium player to gain money. Then you hit the 10+ ranks with a first variant of Leclerc with prohibitive repair cost and no APFSDS (HEATFS), and reconsider your priority in life, stop grinding and start enjoying the game at lower/balanced level. Retrospectively, i don’t know why I imposed that to myself. Too much pain and frustration.
@@Guibod12 it always depends on how u play, french tanks have good mobility and the HEAT round slaps now since it does not get triggered by small obsticles, however they do suffer even with premiums, but thats how it is, some bigbrains decades ago made some poor decisions regarding their tanks (japan, france, GB and italy especially) and thats represented in the game now. However at 11.0 and above all nations perform good if you adjust the playstyle. I remember grinding the brits a few years ago before solid AP was fixed/buffed and you needed 3-4 side shots to kill a tank...dark times.
You are always so good at picking music for the video. You can clearly see the good quality content even in the first minute of video. I would definetely buy your merch if I could. Please keep making these amazing videos
Your videos never cease to amaze me and this one made me laugh pretty good. Especially when comparing 8.7 standard tanks to the French ones😂 Keep up the good work Dollar!
Huh, is it weird if i really like this 8.7 french line-ul? Amx 30s are very durable and the sf105 has a 4 sec reload which makes it a great sniper. Very enjoyable.
Me too and for good reason too. My most played tanks in the game are the AMX-30s just because of their versatility. Nothing comes close to being a tank destoyer, an MBT and an SPAA at once.
@@bobitoiLeopard 2K is basically the upgraded version of the AMX30B2 tho. More armor, stabilizer, and 20mm on the roof for better handling and elevation angles.
@@vizender Defenetly but I don't have it yet and they just moved it behind 3 tanks I don't want so I don't think I'll play it within the next years or so :)
@@bobitoi damn. I have not research German tanks very high yet, only 6.3 or so, but from people that play both, that’s basically what it is. I am not sure it has better thermals than the AMXs tho, or if it even has thermals actually. Even early French thermals are often gen 2 and the brenus is gen 2+ if I am correct, while German tanks usually have lacking thermals
@@vizender German MBTs get thermals incredibly late but it's not a big deal since I don't usually use thermals when playing the AMX30s or even the Type 16s. My main problem was getting to the Leo 2 because I was so tired of the Leo 1s. The Leo 2A4 and 2AV, even with DM12, is so much better IMO.
You have done many excellent & entertaining videos but with this one you outperformed yourself, imho. I kept laughing watching your (mis)adventures, from the intro sequence to the (spot on) conclusion. This was a blast (pun intended). A warm thank you, and a GG from a French guy btw 😉
The Brenus have a very special place in my heart. Felt like fighting with your right hand tied in your back, on such a great chassis. Really fun to play with a very tough downside, so in the end it was enough to disgust me from the game.
Totally the same for me. I've played only 5 months and I've stopped because of all the Russian bias and the hate towards French tanks. My last tank was the BRENUS. I got tired before I could get the Leclerc
the AMX-30 reverse gear is just **Chefs kiss** ive gotten kills so many times when ive been hit, popped smoke and boogied out the way in reverse faster than the enemy can charge where they think i am, my crew has changed or ive stopped and repaired, in time to see the enemy that hit me skirt around my smoke looking for me, and i pop them
AMX-30s, unironically my favorite tanks, at 8.7 are in a very good very good spot. I was expecting it to go even higher than 8.7 after the changes. I researched the Leclerc just with the B2 and BRENUS.
That was one of the most surprisingly awesome use of "Welcome to the rice fields, mothertrucker!" I have ever witnessed. Kudos Betty! Bloody brilliant! 👏
I don't know why, but 8.3/8.7 french tanks really gave me the most fun of all the trees. Sure the lack of stabilizer is frustrating at first, but adapting the playstyle, using the great mobility and gun pen is rewarding.
i play warthunder about 6-8 mouths and i was not very well at this ,but since i watch i geting better in this game ,every film you record i try to watch to get some new skills .so i want to tell to you THANK YOU!!!
Wanna See K9 VIDAR and combined with Bkan 1C. One with the best technology at fire control system,on the other hand have most faster reload speed 3.2 sec . Best combos ever.
Yeah the AMX-30 (1972) does okay. It only has Heat, no rangefinder, no stabilizer, and is at 8.0. The lack of stabilizer sucks but you can deal with it, but at 8.3 it starts becoming really painful
For what it's worth Betty, I feel your pain as an Italian main supporting a friend at 8.0 lol. Now that snail hate boned the 7.7 lineup we have a ton of unstablized stuff with no LRF. Snail straight up looked at the T106 with it's trampoline suspension and said "Yes, this is .3 BR stronger than the VIDAM!"
France seems fun, however the lack of the stabilizer makes me consider if i won't suffer grinding it. I have very good time with amx m4, lorraine 40t ect. due to their super smooth suspension but i don't know how it works on higher tiers. Great vid dollar!!
When you get used to play without a stabilisator you can actually get some good games with those things. But you kinda have to play diffrently then most other tanks at this br. Be very patient, always choosing ambush over rushing in city maps even if rushing is tempting with those tanks mobility, flanking can be good but don't go too fast. You have to be at places where you won't be expected and use your mobility to reposition fast and prepare an other ambush. In larger maps it's better to stay at long range, to be a sneaky sniper. Playing like that I had a really good time playing those tank and even if I still havn't tried stabilised tanks, I think those are really fun to use with their diffrent playstyle. Edit : And that 20mm coaxial is an helicopter nightmare, I killed most heli with the AMX-30B2 Brenus than with my DCA. And i'm prefer to stay at 8.7 with my apfsds then loosign them to go to 8.3. idk i prefer it that way even if the lack of stabilisator can be quite chalenging in a lot of situations
France: building serial cars with highly sofisticated hydro-pneumatic hydractive suspension for no reason since 1957. Also France: building tanks with no stabiliser.
Hey Dollar, love your stuff and the new update brought alot of stuff, it also brought the USS Arkansas, and im from Arkansas, anyway you could play the new ships in the future for a vid
You should try Italy at 8.0 to experience the real suffering experience. Almost all of their decentish armored cars got absolutely dunked on and now fight 9.0 tanks constantly. Their two 8.0 premiums are the garbage M60A1 and the event AUBL which is as slow as a glacier if off road.

(sorry my english is not very good but i hope you will understand something)
This video embodies my daily war thunder experiences. Not being able to see who and what is shooting you, dying instantly after getting a kill, shooting the lower plate on a T-series MBT and just the driver and engine being knocked out while ammo carousel remains intact. The best part is when I try to vent or complain I get told it's just a skill issue...and it probably is...sadly
Great video man lol i was wondering are you gonna make a video on starfield? If not that's ok just would love see you bouncing around in space 😂😂. Either way dont forget to angle my friend. And let's see betty in space 😂😂
Tried to take out a T34's track last night with my M10's 76mm ap round...it bounced right off the MUD FLAP...really getting tired of the whole T34/KV1 shooting match at around 4.0'ish... It's almost as frustrating as the T-72/80/90 "suddenly no ammo in the carousel" syndrome...really frustrating. Not to mention the 279's all round beast mode. The Snail REALLY needs to do something to keep them from running amuck and deleting whatever team they're facing...it's just too OP for where it's at in the BR system.
Surprisingly, the French 8.7 is a very good br, one of the best, and not having a stabiliser just means you have to play differently. You get the impression that the French are playing badly on purpose in this video.
AMX-30B2 BRENUS such a cool vehicle with all that fancy stuff. It definitely deserves to be better placed in WT, even if that would mean removing APFSDS.
So what should I play first, from the next update?

Gotta have the retreat prepared as always don't ya think?
@haatonofthebasementoutofth276 the british built a tank backwards lmfao
I'm french main and first time I played AMX 30 BRENUS I first hated it but the more I play it the more I like it, now it's one of my favourite tank idk why
I think thats because you force yourself to git gud and the sensation of doing great after many deaths is refreshing
It's also called stockholm syndrome, or baguette addiction
Your editing skills are top-notch! I've bursted out of laughter many times, but especially 6:15 catched my heart 😅
Looking forward to a Indian T-90 video! Also, that "Welcome to the Rise fields" joke was hilarious
8:31-blud BMP literally bounced your dart 💀
when you pass to 8.7 to 11.7 with leclerc, i think it s the best moment lol
Not, at release time.
French was always a rough grind nation, with very costly repair costs on the few gems (namely the Lorraine 40t).
Playing with premium AMX30 + Premium account was already barely enough for a medium player to gain money.
Then you hit the 10+ ranks with a first variant of Leclerc with prohibitive repair cost and no APFSDS (HEATFS), and reconsider your priority in life, stop grinding and start enjoying the game at lower/balanced level.
Retrospectively, i don’t know why I imposed that to myself. Too much pain and frustration.
@@Guibod12 it always depends on how u play, french tanks have good mobility and the HEAT round slaps now since it does not get triggered by small obsticles, however they do suffer even with premiums, but thats how it is, some bigbrains decades ago made some poor decisions regarding their tanks (japan, france, GB and italy especially) and thats represented in the game now. However at 11.0 and above all nations perform good if you adjust the playstyle. I remember grinding the brits a few years ago before solid AP was fixed/buffed and you needed 3-4 side shots to kill a tank...dark times.
You are always so good at picking music for the video. You can clearly see the good quality content even in the first minute of video. I would definetely buy your merch if I could. Please keep making these amazing videos
Best youtuber of all time. Keep it up and stay like this👍
Your videos never cease to amaze me and this one made me laugh pretty good. Especially when comparing 8.7 standard tanks to the French ones😂 Keep up the good work Dollar!
Huh, is it weird if i really like this 8.7 french line-ul? Amx 30s are very durable and the sf105 has a 4 sec reload which makes it a great sniper. Very enjoyable.
Me too and for good reason too. My most played tanks in the game are the AMX-30s just because of their versatility. Nothing comes close to being a tank destoyer, an MBT and an SPAA at once.
@@bobitoiLeopard 2K is basically the upgraded version of the AMX30B2 tho. More armor, stabilizer, and 20mm on the roof for better handling and elevation angles.
@@vizender Defenetly but I don't have it yet and they just moved it behind 3 tanks I don't want so I don't think I'll play it within the next years or so :)
@@bobitoi damn. I have not research German tanks very high yet, only 6.3 or so, but from people that play both, that’s basically what it is. I am not sure it has better thermals than the AMXs tho, or if it even has thermals actually.
Even early French thermals are often gen 2 and the brenus is gen 2+ if I am correct, while German tanks usually have lacking thermals
@@vizender German MBTs get thermals incredibly late but it's not a big deal since I don't usually use thermals when playing the AMX30s or even the Type 16s. My main problem was getting to the Leo 2 because I was so tired of the Leo 1s. The Leo 2A4 and 2AV, even with DM12, is so much better IMO.
Lmfao the pure suffering gave me a chuckle. Thanks for all you do dollar
Always remember if you are in good position, you can even do good in a bad tank.
but in a city map (most of the maps are city maps or really close range maps) no stabilizer is very bad
That's true
You have done many excellent & entertaining videos but with this one you outperformed yourself, imho.
I kept laughing watching your (mis)adventures, from the intro sequence to the (spot on) conclusion. This was a blast (pun intended).
A warm thank you, and a GG from a French guy btw 😉
Hey Dollar what about new French box tank amx-10M ?
Some time later. Now I have some more spicier stuff to try 😉
The Brenus have a very special place in my heart.
Felt like fighting with your right hand tied in your back, on such a great chassis. Really fun to play with a very tough downside, so in the end it was enough to disgust me from the game.
Totally the same for me. I've played only 5 months and I've stopped because of all the Russian bias and the hate towards French tanks. My last tank was the BRENUS. I got tired before I could get the Leclerc
French players finally have a really delicious Baguette tank👌👌👌
the AMX-30 reverse gear is just **Chefs kiss** ive gotten kills so many times when ive been hit, popped smoke and boogied out the way in reverse faster than the enemy can charge where they think i am, my crew has changed or ive stopped and repaired, in time to see the enemy that hit me skirt around my smoke looking for me, and i pop them
AMX-30s, unironically my favorite tanks, at 8.7 are in a very good very good spot. I was expecting it to go even higher than 8.7 after the changes. I researched the Leclerc just with the B2 and BRENUS.
B2 sucks ass, it's a shittier 10RC that's .3 higher. 20mm is nice but not worth the lost mobility and higher br. The SK is way better at the same br.
You're a mad lad😂 imagine how you would do with the stabiliser
10:17 and then French LMFAO funny stuff
Gajin : put the worst 8.3 vehicle in game and nerf it to 8.7
Edit : only let the best vehicle (30-DCA) at 8.3
Truly one of the WHEN YOU PLAY FRANCE AT 8.7...(War Thunder) momentos of all time. Also, keep up yhe good work, Dollar! Love your content!
🫡
That was one of the most surprisingly awesome use of "Welcome to the rice fields, mothertrucker!" I have ever witnessed. Kudos Betty! Bloody brilliant! 👏
As someone who has grinded the amx 30s. It is the purest form of cbt that you can experience in war thunder.
DOLLA, WHERE DO YOU GET THESE FUNKY CATCHY MUSICS AND SYNTHWAVES?
(Thanks for always putting the credits, it helps to find them XD)
I don't know why, but 8.3/8.7 french tanks really gave me the most fun of all the trees. Sure the lack of stabilizer is frustrating at first, but adapting the playstyle, using the great mobility and gun pen is rewarding.
In 1989 you couldn’t drink the water in Paris and they couldn’t figure out how to stabilize a tank gun.
they figured it out, there was just no money to buy the upgrade and hence was removed from the adopted tank
i play warthunder about 6-8 mouths and i was not very well at this ,but since i watch i geting better in this game ,every film you record i try to watch to get some new skills .so i want to tell to you THANK YOU!!!
i love how you show the good.. and the bad. even if you get popped its still a good laugh. thank you for the entertainment 🤘
🤟
0:06 im already suffering from the mostrosity called hawaiian pokebowl
Wanna See K9 VIDAR and combined with Bkan 1C.
One with the best technology at fire control system,on the other hand have most faster reload speed 3.2 sec .
Best combos ever.
Yeah the AMX-30 (1972) does okay. It only has Heat, no rangefinder, no stabilizer, and is at 8.0. The lack of stabilizer sucks but you can deal with it, but at 8.3 it starts becoming really painful
The hell do you mean, the AMX-30 (1972) has a rangefinder. Not a laser one, but a normal one is already a great help.
@@hunlepto2239 my bad, you right
Fantastic commentary and analysis. Plus you offered a solution to the problem! Well done!
The fact that the crew say in the air at 10:20 is hilarious
For what it's worth Betty, I feel your pain as an Italian main supporting a friend at 8.0 lol. Now that snail hate boned the 7.7 lineup we have a ton of unstablized stuff with no LRF. Snail straight up looked at the T106 with it's trampoline suspension and said "Yes, this is .3 BR stronger than the VIDAM!"
France seems fun, however the lack of the stabilizer makes me consider if i won't suffer grinding it. I have very good time with amx m4, lorraine 40t ect. due to their super smooth suspension but i don't know how it works on higher tiers. Great vid dollar!!
Good to see you back again, you should try the shturm-a for anti heli gameplay antiair middle is op and lots of fun overall. Love to see the content
Ze editing is on point as always! Great Job DOLLAR!
When you get used to play without a stabilisator you can actually get some good games with those things. But you kinda have to play diffrently then most other tanks at this br. Be very patient, always choosing ambush over rushing in city maps even if rushing is tempting with those tanks mobility, flanking can be good but don't go too fast. You have to be at places where you won't be expected and use your mobility to reposition fast and prepare an other ambush. In larger maps it's better to stay at long range, to be a sneaky sniper. Playing like that I had a really good time playing those tank and even if I still havn't tried stabilised tanks, I think those are really fun to use with their diffrent playstyle.
Edit : And that 20mm coaxial is an helicopter nightmare, I killed most heli with the AMX-30B2 Brenus than with my DCA. And i'm prefer to stay at 8.7 with my apfsds then loosign them to go to 8.3. idk i prefer it that way even if the lack of stabilisator can be quite chalenging in a lot of situations
7:54 Comedic timing was golden on this one
wow your channel has grown so much i love your vids cant Waite to see you hit 500k
1st also dollar will you be making a video on aircraft due to the addition of rita snd betty?
the alex jones reference got me so good, love you dollar
MAN... I LOVE THIS VIDEO
As a F2P who's started with Italian and French vehicles, I only know suffering and goofing off.
They just go together so well.
France: building serial cars with highly sofisticated hydro-pneumatic hydractive suspension for no reason since 1957.
Also France: building tanks with no stabiliser.
nice video as always master betty! also i think the next video is pretty obvious, the leader of all derp gun in game, VIDAR 😎
That intro, "Are you ready for pain?" 😂😂😂
I know I am in for a treat when I see that.
Good stuff Dollar, too bad French 8.7 is not good though.
Ive been playing warthunder for more than a decade, and since I started playing france, I have learned true suffering
Hey Dollar, love your stuff and the new update brought alot of stuff, it also brought the USS Arkansas, and im from Arkansas, anyway you could play the new ships in the future for a vid
The Eirel APS works really well as soon as the enemy ATGM launcher has to adjust their aim
You should try Italy at 8.0 to experience the real suffering experience. Almost all of their decentish armored cars got absolutely dunked on and now fight 9.0 tanks constantly. Their two 8.0 premiums are the garbage M60A1 and the event AUBL which is as slow as a glacier if off road.
Dollar u need to play the new Italyen vehicles, much love on the new vid tho hella nice❤
I'm French, and I loved the way you approached this video, it's just a masterclass!!!
especially when you compare with the German TAM 😂😂😂
if you know how to play the french tree you can play any vehicle on warthunder🗿🗿🗿
good job man I love your chanel keep it up!!!
(sorry my english is not very good but i hope you will understand something)
Thanks for including the music - I like synthwave/retrowave
The Brenus is so much fun to troll the American missile boys though. M0901 and Bradley players usually have no idea that it's got an APS
That's the nice part
This video embodies my daily war thunder experiences. Not being able to see who and what is shooting you, dying instantly after getting a kill, shooting the lower plate on a T-series MBT and just the driver and engine being knocked out while ammo carousel remains intact. The best part is when I try to vent or complain I get told it's just a skill issue...and it probably is...sadly
Skill issue
This is one of my favourite lineups ngl, and i think its perfect already not really needing any balancing
Are you planning on making a VIDAR video soon?
And amazing video as always, Dollar ;)
Great video man lol i was wondering are you gonna make a video on starfield? If not that's ok just would love see you bouncing around in space 😂😂. Either way dont forget to angle my friend. And let's see betty in space 😂😂
I already did, and also I had Starfield livestream on my second channel 😉
How tf did the Bots in the testmap attacked you
The first 6 minutes is exactly how for the past 11 years RB felt for me, everytime I tried it.
Very surprised to see a clip from 1979's "Sphinx" I thought only old people like me, knew of that film.🤘🏻
Honestly, I haven't watched the movie, I only have that clip. But maybe I should watch it😉
Tried to take out a T34's track last night with my M10's 76mm ap round...it bounced right off the MUD FLAP...really getting tired of the whole T34/KV1 shooting match at around 4.0'ish...
It's almost as frustrating as the T-72/80/90 "suddenly no ammo in the carousel" syndrome...really frustrating. Not to mention the 279's all round beast mode. The Snail REALLY needs to do something to keep them from running amuck and deleting whatever team they're facing...it's just too OP for where it's at in the BR system.
Thank you for the laughs and making my day better already.
Your videos are always amazing, Thank you for your time and efforts Dollar!
The "driving over hills" sight comparison made me laugh so hard, holy ship
Has a french player at this br i fell your pain
Surprisingly, the French 8.7 is a very good br, one of the best, and not having a stabiliser just means you have to play differently. You get the impression that the French are playing badly on purpose in this video.
Well you have to camp a lot with French 8.7
I thought earlier that day that today would be perfect if dollar uploads a new video. You never disappoint us ^^
I'm happy to hear 😉
I got the day off from Work Today and it's perfect when dollar Plesi Uploads! :D
Ty DOLLAR ! laugh way more than i should watching this video :D.
Dollar: How did that bounce
Instantly served by Gaijin magic.
Oh yes the French sure know how to make them fun… great video Dollar sorry about the suffering but at least it was amusing for us to watch
"There is no way my luck is that bad" - Hum playing french main it's honestly pretty representative of the average match
The SK is so good. 105mm apfsds with 4sec auto loader? You can pretty reliably lock down a corridor against several enemies.
Yes! Finally! I've been waiting for this!
lol when you looked and realized you where first! I have never identified with something more, that’s when you know your team is gonna lose 😂😂
