I wouldn't say that T-10 is a "glorified IS-3", it was more of a homework on shortcomings of both IS-3 and IS-4 and improvement on both of those designes.
Dude, I loved playing this thing. I half expected it to be rubbish because casemates generally are at this high of a BR... but this is a MASSIVE exception to that rule. It's a Jagdtiger that's faster, has a better reload and arguably better armour. Insane.
And it sits at 6.7. Ludicrous. Now, SauceBawZ, when are you going to show the Lorraine 40t/AMX-50 Surbaissé some love again? Or! AMX-30 Super / AMX-32 105mm (perfect duo for silver lion farming? Cheers from Portugal man, keep up the good work! 😊
Fun fact: the 268's shells don't detonate if struck, you need to hit the charges (unlike the US T34). Also a video on one of the ARL-44's would be sweet
@@casematecardinal it's the propellant that explodes so solid shot would still detonate. Unless it's solid shot plus charges seprate (2 piece ammo) then if the shot explodes it's physics...I believe the 5th law of snailnamics
I had the great displeasure of facing this thing recently... while in my Panther G. This thing is an absolute monster in a full downtier, especially if it even has even a token amount of support to make sure you can't flank it.
Same thing as Jagdtiger, except worse gun but better MG. Got downtiered and sat myself in a corner, no one could touch me. Still lost, but that's German mains for you.
You can try your luck with commander hatch if you have APHE or the driver optics/hatch if you're lucky, but other than that you're better off running away lol
When I grinded the Russian tree I skipped this guy along with the Su-122-54 but I've always wanted to come back and try em out. The 14.5 mg is one of my favorite non-primary weapons to use. Could make a decent lineup to grind out the Strela
@@petrkdn8224 The APHE can not go through a tiger 2 UFP, LFP is viable target though as the explosive filler is too much for the transmission to absorb.
@@petrkdn8224 i mean, in that conditions even the pershing could go trough the tiger UFP, but usually any AP with less than 300 mm of pen can't go trough the tiger UFP
@@petrkdn8224 tiger 2 only has 150 mm of frontal raw armor, but you never encounter a tiger at 0 degrees, and the obj 268 aphe can't go through the tiger 2 front plate at a normal angle unless it's literally in front of it and without any angling, which can happen but it's not reliable
Me too! It has a "logical" explanation, though: the round didn't fuse on the thin armour. Then again, that's just WT logic... Imagine seeing your pal next to you getting turned into red, disgusting goo by a giant piece of metal, how combat effective would you be afterwards? :P XD
The Object 906 is much better than the 685. The 100mm on the 685 is nice and all but the 906 is in a much better place for what it is. That autoloading 85 hits like a truck.
It's like the isu152 at 4.7 in arcade. I dont play realistic very much so I cant say about realistic but in arcade its insane that's for sure. It litterly overpressures things with aphe without even penetrating armor sometimes. I literally bounced a shell off of a tigers side because it was a bad shot and it hit the ground and killed him
To answer your MG range question. When you swap between Main gun and secondary/MG/ect it has a conversion ratio from your other guns. A good example is look at this with the MAUS. With either primary or secondary active range it, look at the other gun and see that its not the same range selected.
Of all the 6.7s I face with my 5.7 lineups, this is the one vehicle I fear the most. And it isn't because of the gun. The armor layout really is tough, and it has ridiculous good mobility for a casemate; especially at a stationary pivot that it is really difficult to flank it. The fact that it probably only dies when surrounded, unsupported, and mobility disabled; or to CAS speaks volumes that I do ask the question why it is 6.7.
@@agentrabbit186which is why we need to allow for a smaller window of Maximum down tiers/up tiers. Vehicles in 5.7 should face maximum vehicles in 6.3, and minimum 5.0, vehicles at 7.3 should face a maximum of 8.0 and a minimum of 6.7, this way you can balance vehicles better as it gives you more options.
When I originally spaded this thing, overpressure wasn't in the game yet. The large muzzle brake definitely didn't help me get through spading it as it would often get destroyed before I even got a shot off. It was especially difficult before I had parts researched.
The tiger has had a funny bug for at least a year already, where sometimes AP shells with explosive filler just don't detonate, and act like really sad solid shot.
If you want a low tier nuke shell I recommend you the italian P40, it as an aphe shell with 270gramms of tnt filler, it sometimes overpressure even some tough tanksand is overall fun except for it's reverse speed
I like watching these videos. You don't shoutcast or use excessive sound edits repeatedly. And the low-volume c&c generals ost doesn't get grating on the ears overtime either.
I've been trying to convince people just how insane this thing is for a long time now, for some reason no one respects this thing despite the fact that it's speedy and the size of a barn with insane armor
You should do the Churchill Crocodile next. I hope they add more flamethrower tanks in the future, preferably one of the Sherman Crocodiles as at least two different designs appear to exist.
Not sure if you done a video on it already but The French lorraine 40t is probably my fav tank in the game, extremely mobile, fast firing 100mm with 4 second reload with 7 round ready rack, thing is a beast at 7.7, like the amx 50 100, Think you would have a lot of fun with it
Throwing a curveball for a suggestion here with the strv m/41 s-II. Playing lower tier swedish before the finnish line it was by far the best swedish vehicle for it's BR imo. Curious to see your opinion on it.
i always enjoy your content cause tanks but also because you’re one of the only youtuber that i know of that uses command and conquer music in your vids and it just reminds me of my childhood thus i will keep on watching ti’ll the end of time
So I'm new to the game but god seeing this higher (relatively) tier stuff where the machine guns can rip apart armoured cars and planes like that just scratches an inch in my brain I didn't know I had
Definitely one of my favorite vehicles in game, you can even snipe with its 152 cannon given it has a range finder. I mean, a range finder at 6.7(same goes with su-122-54 also 6.7) it's just ridiculous.
Ah yes... that feeling when you're so busy killing the enemy when suddenly you get killed from behind, from exactly where your allies supposed to be Then you realized it "where is my team?"
with that PT-76 at like 4:10 or so, i think his armor was too thin to set the shell off so it just passed through and spall-killed the crew it did kill.
Used to be the same BR as the Tortoise, btw. A tank with far less useful armor, which is incredibly big and slow, and a ~94(?)mm gun with solid shot only. I truly love the dedication to balance that this team has. Anyways, now it's only .3 over it.
I think we need a video of you playing the 2C, given that it's the exact opposite of the kind of tanks you like, plus many, many Frenchman to arm the baguette cannon
The Object 268 (Объект 268) was a prototype Soviet tank destroyer developed from 1952 to 1956 by the Kirov factory, Leningrad, on the basis of the T-10 heavy tank
“I think this is an IS-3 hull” I mean.. yeah, effectively the T-10 is just a glorified IS-3 with better stuff on it overall and some spicy 14.5mm HMGs
I wouldn't say that T-10 is a "glorified IS-3", it was more of a homework on shortcomings of both IS-3 and IS-4 and improvement on both of those designes.
T-10 was mostly "what IS-3 should have been" or "IS-3, but what if it wasn't sh//t even by soviet metrics":))
Unfortunately for the T-10, main battle tanks were starting to have armor comparable to or better than heavy tanks by that time in the Cold War.
Both wrong. T-10 was a low-cost IS-7. Which supposed to be a huge upgrade over IS-3 indeed.
I’m not your buddy ,pal

you should revisit the object 685, theres not many people playing it but i think it looks really good on paper
