Odd please do a full line up of 6.7 America feel the pain recently the players are terrible finishing first is fun when you win the match not when loosing
10:54 If they spawn at all, because of course, if they're on your team, no planes spawn, but in the enemy team, the whole Luftwaffe and US Air Force combined spawn.
I actually lately learned by accident the Jagdtiger's cannon with with its better APHE shell can pen through the lower glacis of IS-3 and the Object 268, although only in a small area near the bottom. Lobbed a shell at an Object and it happened to hit that part by accident and went straight through.
Wish all heavy TDs and heavy tanks were actually like that, as in enough armor to actually stop the overwhelming majority of rounds at their BR rather than only the rounds of the vehicles with weak guns for their BR In their current state a lot of heavies are slower and weaker armed than medium tanks at the same BR, while their armor doesn't matter in particular since most enemies can still murder them frontally. Mediums might even be better at overall survivability in this case, due to being able to maneuver better to avoid enemy fire while also being smaller.
That's the thing, most of these tanks were supposed to be ambush predators, but the format of War Thunder as a game makes that not very practical. So, you have this strange situation where heavy TDs brawl need heavy armor for its tier, ok-ish maneuverability, workable gun-handling, and a potent gun; in short, you need a TD to play the role of a MBT, which by the virtue of WT's semi-realistic modelling and balancing, is nigh impossible to get right. Hence the whole lot of them simply suck ass!
The biggest issue to tank destroyers with frontal armour is that most of them cannot utilize that armour anymore due to the introduction of shells that cut through conventional armour like butter and unfavourable battle ratings. Back in (2015-2018) heavy tanks and tank destroyers with a lot of armour were the meta and everyone played them. But as more and more light tanks were added with Heat-FS and APDS/APFSDS they became slow moving easy targets instead. The T95 is a perfect example of this, it is practically useless these days, as the one thing it relies on which is armour, is useless. There is no reason at all to play it these days unless you want to put yourself at a disadvantage. It's honestly sad to see.
So then how would you kill them? They could also add a more safisticated system where the places where it’s been hit becomes weaker so of you repeatedly shoot at the same spot it can pen
This and the SU-122-54 are the sleeper hits at 6.7 Russia. The 122 doesn't have the armor, but it has a APDS and HEAT-FS round, a optical rangefinder and TWO 14.5mm machine guns.
regarding the complaints about planes, I like to play tanks so I haven't grinded to unlock cas at the br I play. I just dont like playing with planes as much. and I think it's more annoying to die to a plane cause usually theres nothing you can do. it's one thing to get shot in the side cause you weren't paying attention or because the enemy played smart and got to a good position. but planes are different, it feels like no matter what you do you cant get away. when you die like that despite playing well and doing your best its frustrating. nowadays I try to use spaa more and get better at that rather than just complain, but I do think it would be better if cas cost more spawn points.
Just like with tanks, planes takes experience in how the game works. And of course how the game gives an advantage to players with better crew skills and fully "modified" vehicles.
I've been playing for a bit trying to get used to the game I'm only at 5.3 just recently but I must say I'm very shocked and impressed by how well you can spot things/see things from a far especially people who are bushed up, it's almost unreal. Wish I could see things that well, you got a good pair of hunter eyes that's for sure.
Love facing this tank with my german boys.... I treat it as a force of nature, don't even try to go for a weakspot. I can respect fellow heavy armor enjoyer, as it should be.
@@princessapplestrach6327 Oh, But I have to disagree. Soviets prove quite a challenge when facing them. They may not have the absolutely best frontal facing armor, but their overall armor score would be high. No easy trap-shots, high probability of fucked-up shot near werid angled casted turrets, and usually strong lower frontal plate is something that can't be ignored. Tanks build to take a lot not only from the front, but also from the other angles.
@@lyagushkha8490 This was actually a key part of Soviet heavy armor design; overall armor profile>overall armor thickness. Keeps the weight down which makes it transportable/maneuverable while still offering good protection
I had the stealth machine gun issue yesterday. IN AN OSTWIND! For like half a battle i had invisible and super-silent projectiles, idk if they were also invisible for the enemy but some planes looked a bit off-guard when i killed them
Honestly I think the previous TD in the tech tree, the SU-122-54, is more well rounded. It has a relatively quick reloading 122mm gun with a nuke APHE shell (like this with slightly less pen). But it also gets APDS (~300mm flat pen point blank) and a HEAT-FS with 400mm pen. I've ended up using the APDS as my main shell, it has good enough pen and VERY good velocity (1400 m/s!!!) that it works for most situations. Keep a couple HEAT-FS in reserve. It gets a commanders AND a co-ax 14.5mm MG, and goes slightly faster. It has less armor than the Obj 268, but the larger shell variety makes it more versatile IMO.
but the obj 268 can stop british 105mm APDS to its cheeks, and since british mains think they cna pen anything with their gun, theyll be suprised it doesnt pen... and i had a match with the 268 where i was being shot at by multiple centurions mk10s and none of them thought that the 268 had this much armor... (i was hulldown and at 1km)
This is one of the reasons that I am grinding the Russian tree, I hate facing them but as with most tanks that you hate facing, you will probably love playing it.
9:27 the players nearly unanimously want a no tank mode. Or just to remove planes form GRB. If the players want it theres no excuse for the devs to not do it. And no i dont "have planes" im not going to grind for 100+ fucking hours for each nation just so i can being fucking planes into the mode where i want to drive a tank.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO PLAYS THESE TANKS WITH APHE... YOU ARE A GODSEND.... ISU-152 and SU-152 use the same APHE round except its slower... and since its 152mm the overmatch is massive (better angled pen) and pens jumbo up to 3km... and the OBJ268 APHE with its increased velocity can pen jumbo at 5km at 60 DEGREE ANGLE... which is just ridicilous... and also it can pen tiger 2 UFP but only at like super close range (50m) and you must be straight on without any angle.. and even then its roughly 50% chance to pen.. but it shows the true power of the APHE round
I have a problem with attacker/bomber and fighter being seperate rp costs so you can bring out both fairly cheaply. Also the costs for planes should be higher. Because you can spawn with a do 335 b-2 after just capturing an objective.
So, at 6:32... how the heck did you spot anything there? It could just be UA-cam compression, but I watched that three times in 1440p and saw absolutely nothing. Absolutely wild spotting. Is that just a common spawn location you were checking?
I started grinding and playing these just cause when i was fighting them i was impressed. So i gor them myself and was amazed by this and the previous TD. A little fun fact. The 14.5mm HMG can pen an M41s turret frontaly, atleast on the left side, killing the gunner.
@@petrkdn8224 and KV2 is even lower, u just need to take the big reload I have plenty of 5+ kills games and one 10kill game, and another with 9 kills, but the last one I didn't get 10 or more cuz there was a 10v10, small Batle, and alot of 1 leavers
We have light tanks that ignore armor with HEATFS and APFSDS, to which there isn't really a counter. Planes in GRB just further amplify something already present as an "Equalizer", but unlike light tanks, you need to use a specific vehicle to deal with planes reliably in a game mode that's fought by ground forces. Playing SPAA and denying planes kills is probably the most euphoric thing in War thunder because of how easy it is to determine the outcome of battles when the enemy is denied air.
What graphic settings do you use? i know in one video i thought i heard you say "movie" settings. im sure you get this question all the time and apologies if i haven't found a reply to it in any comments yet. thanks.
Go ahead and try this combo out next time you want a big gun on a KV2. Get the KV2-Zis6 (basically a kv2 with a 107mm gun on it, and take out the SU-8 with the heaviest load out.
the OBJ 168 is not based on an IS 3 hull, but a T10, its easy to see, first sign : the frontal armor of the hull, not the same thickness as an IS 3, but the same as a T10; The rear wich is more looking like an IS 6 than an IS 3, and the 2 boxes is the sign of a T 10M, at least, the back speed, its only 10 km /H , so the SI 3 is 14.
Odd I am not with you on this one ,CAS is OP and there is no other way to say it ,yes there should be way to dig out strong tanks from strong positions but whipping out half of team with only one plane/helicopter is not no where near ok ,there are many players that play this game only with ground vehicles and than how to revenge kill a plane/heli ? look at France for example ,from 4.3 to 8.3 BR there is no SPAA ,so you play 7.7 France with AMX-13 DCA 40 as SPAA ,that thing shots 240 RPM ,good luck killing anything in air let alone jets with it ,what about being spawn camped by Planes/Helis ,it happens almost every game,you spawn in and get clapped by some dude 6km away you can't even see him properly ... I would make a separate mode only for Air and SPAA than I would like to see all those "pro" plane players doing great as they do now,when there would be 7 SPAA ready on the ground :)
Do you play Chess with only half of your pieces on the board and complain your opponent has an unfair advantage? CAS is only as good as the user, too. And these people who drop one bomb for a single tank are wasting their spawn points. Cas is a huge SP risk. I can as easily do the same damage in a tank as I can in a plane. The difference is a tank is 150SP and a good CAS plane is 700-1000SP. War Thunder is 4D Chess. When I realised this, I enjoyed myself more.
@@OddBawZ in chess both palyers have same weapons,how do you fight CAS if you don't have good SPAA ? There are many lineups in game that are terible VS air and if you don't earn enogh SP to spawn in plane that is it ,I hope now you see the huge difference how ground is weak VS air, being bombed in spawn ,killed be atgm from far away when there is nothing you can do to defend your self,it is not balanced ;)
The only reason I complain about planes is cause I just wanna play tank v tank. Planes get their own mode where they dont have a bunch of guys in aa tanks shooting them doen all match so why cant we have a mode where people dont get bombed all the time.
I haven't even looked at this thing. I don't spend much time mucking about with rusky toys. I don't think I've got the experience to do very well with them. Great video Odd. Wonderful to see German heavies panic when their round bounces 😂😂

its 200mm at an impact angle of 55°. Tiger 2 has 237mm pen at 0° and about 70mm at 60° ... tiger isnt going through that... same with the T34.. it cant go through
Odd, I like your videos, but just because others have a different opinion than you about CAS (and a fair few recently it seems) does not make them "Crying". Everyone's entitled to an opinion, yours is no more important than any other. I agree CAS should be an "equaliser", and would be happy if that were the case, but it's not. It's the decider, the overwhelming tool in the game. Even heavy, near impossible to pen tanks can only be used in one part of the map, planes have access to it all within seconds. Not many pilots show your... umm.. "scruples"? and refrain from revenge kills, spawn bombing or suicide attacks. Those three are the meta for CAS. As for suicide attacking, which is so prevalent, surely that shows that the spawn cost is so cheap that people don't care about it's cost.
@@Dan86130 im fairly certain i saw that it was supposed to have a name which was planned, but in WT they kept the Objekt number because it wasnt accepted into service. It was fully built and functional, the soviets were just deciding whether to spend their resources on T-10's only or a few T-10's and a few 268's
Odd, you play RB ground forces before planes were a thing? It was pretty balanced. Also, if you put in the time to learn the maps and learn the vehicles you got rewarded with good battles especially if you got good players on the other team. After planes became a thing it was a completely different game. Maybe it's not as bad now as it was then, but after years of playing and loving RB tanks it completely sucked the fun out of it. Maybe it's because I experienced a time before planes and it was sssssooooo good. O well... all good things come to an end...
From the front they are a pain in the butt. But I killed one in the m19a1 because the whole back rear of that top, part... the case? Anyway its like 40 50 mills of armor or something around there and behind that is the shells. At first I was like cool I killed it with my aa but then I looked at its stats later and I was very surprised it had such a big week spot for something that strong.
its not op. this tank is one of my most played tanks ever. the only reason its performing good is because its such a rare vehicle to see, that many people dont know where to shoot it or see it for the first time and just shoot the very strong cheeks.. i have almost 3KD in this thing and about 60% winrate... but if i ever see a person who knows how to destroy me , i almost always lose. every other time where someone DOESNT know how to destroy me, i win 99% of the time. i dont even remember the last time i saw anyone else play this tank in a battle... im one of the few people who play it regulary..

Odd I am not with you on this one ,CAS is OP and there is no other way to say it ,yes there should be way to dig out strong tanks from strong positions but whipping out half of team with only one plane/helicopter is not no where near ok ,there are many players that play this game only with ground vehicles and than how to revenge kill a plane/heli ? look at France for example ,from 4.3 to 8.3 BR there is no SPAA ,so you play 7.7 France with AMX-13 DCA 40 as SPAA ,that thing shots 240 RPM ,good luck killing anything in air let alone jets with it ,what about being spawn camped by Planes/Helis ,it happens almost every game,you spawn in and get clapped by some dude 6km away you can't even see him properly ... I would make a separate mode only for Air and SPAA than I would like to see all those "pro" plane players doing great as they do now,when there would be 7 SPAA ready on the ground :)
Do you play Chess with only half of your pieces on the board and complain your opponent has an unfair advantage?
CAS is only as good as the user, too. And these people who drop one bomb for a single tank are wasting their spawn points. Cas is a huge SP risk. I can as easily do the same damage in a tank as I can in a plane. The difference is a tank is 150SP and a good CAS plane is 700-1000SP.
War Thunder is 4D Chess. When I realised this, I enjoyed myself more.
@@OddBawZ in chess both palyers have same weapons,how do you fight CAS if you don't have good SPAA ? There are many lineups in game that are terible VS air and if you don't earn enogh SP to spawn in plane that is it ,I hope now you see the huge difference how ground is weak VS air, being bombed in spawn ,killed be atgm from far away when there is nothing you can do to defend your self,it is not balanced ;)
Nice to see Heavy Weapons Guy in the thumbnail :)
The only reason I complain about planes is cause I just wanna play tank v tank. Planes get their own mode where they dont have a bunch of guys in aa tanks shooting them doen all match so why cant we have a mode where people dont get bombed all the time.
Womp womp
@@thelegendarysin6647 bit late to the party
Lol getting hit by womp womp 2 years later is funny
it's not an IS-3 chassis, it's a T-10 chassis. The IS-3 SPG variant would've been the Object 704
The 268 looks like a really good tank at 6.7
Still waiting for the Suffer Airlines' P108A...
I haven't even looked at this thing. I don't spend much time mucking about with rusky toys. I don't think I've got the experience to do very well with them.
Great video Odd. Wonderful to see German heavies panic when their round bounces 😂😂
I believe the OBJ 268 i think is based on the is8 hull, or the t10a/t10m if you will
i like this tank but honestly i haven't had a fully great time in it because ye i come across a 1000 tanks with heatfs everytime
That spoiler tho...definitely gives 200 more horsepower

really just most things with a calibre ranging from 90-152.
90, 94, 100, 120, 122, 152 (183 if you're feeling confident) and/or tried and true flanking moves.
We should get a video on the RBT-5, that tank is pretty goofy with its Tank Torpedo’s with about twice the explosive mass as a Tiny Tim
This guy: “fine, I’ll do it myself”
Does anyone know what hot key he uses after he ranges his target to immediately set his reticule to that range. I’ve found how to change mine but not as fast as he’s doing it.
that seems like the perfect tank for me, love taking shots and just 1 tapping them
Now compare THIS monster to poor Ferdinand at the same BR
I've had that same machinegun bug on my Leo, its SUPER distracting
1:32 humh , tiger II and T34 goes easy trough that
its 200mm at an impact angle of 55°. Tiger 2 has 237mm pen at 0° and about 70mm at 60° ... tiger isnt going through that... same with the T34.. it cant go through
But why you used the aphe instead of heat ones? (As main shells) they have more pen in the end...
You should do a video on the m10gmc
You can kill a Japanese STA-1 with that KPVT machine gun from the side. Did it twice, I bet the guys were raging!

Odd, I like your videos, but just because others have a different opinion than you about CAS (and a fair few recently it seems) does not make them "Crying". Everyone's entitled to an opinion, yours is no more important than any other.
I agree CAS should be an "equaliser", and would be happy if that were the case, but it's not. It's the decider, the overwhelming tool in the game. Even heavy, near impossible to pen tanks can only be used in one part of the map, planes have access to it all within seconds. Not many pilots show your... umm.. "scruples"? and refrain from revenge kills, spawn bombing or suicide attacks. Those three are the meta for CAS.
As for suicide attacking, which is so prevalent, surely that shows that the spawn cost is so cheap that people don't care about it's cost.
Was this thing actually in production? Crazy
Nope, only a prototype. That's why it's still called "object" and doesn't have an official designation
@@Dan86130 I never knew that’s why they are called objects. Kinda like the western world uses X--- . Very interesting thank you.
@@Dan86130 im fairly certain i saw that it was supposed to have a name which was planned, but in WT they kept the Objekt number because it wasnt accepted into service.
It was fully built and functional, the soviets were just deciding whether to spend their resources on T-10's only or a few T-10's and a few 268's
I wonder how this thing is 6.7 while foch is 7.3
Cuz its compared to jagdtiger, foch is compared to ho ri
@@kristijanmedved6066 ho ri has better armor and an aphe round. Id gladly exchange the foch solid round for less penning aphe
@@rayhill1 ho ri has worse armor
Odd, you play RB ground forces before planes were a thing? It was pretty balanced. Also, if you put in the time to learn the maps and learn the vehicles you got rewarded with good battles especially if you got good players on the other team. After planes became a thing it was a completely different game. Maybe it's not as bad now as it was then, but after years of playing and loving RB tanks it completely sucked the fun out of it. Maybe it's because I experienced a time before planes and it was sssssooooo good. O well... all good things come to an end...
WT started with only planes; tanks were added later. I agree with planes being removed from tank BR
techincally it's a T-10 chassis casemate
This thing looks satisfying af to use
Hey odd love the work keep it up but please make a video on the carnaveron I’m having trouble playing it
From the front they are a pain in the butt. But I killed one in the m19a1 because the whole back rear of that top, part... the case? Anyway its like 40 50 mills of armor or something around there and behind that is the shells. At first I was like cool I killed it with my aa but then I looked at its stats later and I was very surprised it had such a big week spot for something that strong.
How’d you know it was a Panther A, D, G etc coming?
FINALLY, THE TANK VIDEO I REALLY WANTED, THANKS DUDE
I love facing Russian tanks in my M-51 because to them in just a lowly Sherman. And then I lolpen them back to the hanger.
Ah the obj 268, the "Heavy weapons T10"
Are we just not gonna talk about how man silver lions he has
I should hop back on and continue grinding this thing
Til a t34 and t95 and t114 roll up in and stare at it
from what I heard Odd the hull is from T-10 not IS-3
Another Russian OP tank.
This Russian tank should be at a BR of 7.7
its not op. this tank is one of my most played tanks ever. the only reason its performing good is because its such a rare vehicle to see, that many people dont know where to shoot it or see it for the first time and just shoot the very strong cheeks.. i have almost 3KD in this thing and about 60% winrate... but if i ever see a person who knows how to destroy me , i almost always lose. every other time where someone DOESNT know how to destroy me, i win 99% of the time. i dont even remember the last time i saw anyone else play this tank in a battle... im one of the few people who play it regulary..
You've literally complained about ground Rb becoming air rb before.
I think this tanks hull is the T-10m hull
Video suggestion - play The German Captured Kv-2 or Normal Kv-2 (or Brummbär, Sturmpanzer II or any HE Vehicle) At Top tier
Bro why do i keep getting the worst teammates i've been playing for a day now and i haven't won a battle bruhh 🤦♂️
2:30 How does he know a panther is coming on his right?
Heard him moving, heard him shoot, saw him kill an M18 on the kill feed! :)
you can hear him
somebody didnt play isu-152 considering that HE and HEAT are the same rounds as is isu 152
the APHE is also the same, just lower velocity
the tank is speedy cuz it has a staling spoiler
Which sound mods is he using
