Ostfront, Ostruppen, Ostketten... Those Germans are hilarious with their language. Just add the two literal words together to make a new contraction lol.
@@adamg7984 ik, but have you ever heard of the "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz"? That's a German word. It's just normal words added together lmfao But aside those words, German is a pretty logic language (Well, I'm German, so it's easy for me)
@@the1fab Since you can literally add any words together and create new ones at your liking, there really isnt a single longest word... might be the longest, in an official document used word though...
Similar situation, though slightly shorter range, in the Tiger II 10.5cm and out sniped what was either a Conquer or Centurion, kind of forgot which. He saw me first and made the first shot, bouncing off of my angled UFP, I then proceeded to fire a single shot in his direction, hitting his LFP and one shotting him. Probably one my, if not my bet shot in Warthunder. This was over a year ago though.
I recall reading decades ago that what made the Nashhorn dangerous at extreme ranges was the performance of the long 88 but the quality of the optics. I wonder if that is modeled in the game.
I have American optics off what I was told was a 'tank' (grandfather was in ww2). So some kind of tracked vehicle. Last time I had a look through it was around 2014 or so. It always surprises me how good they worked all those years later, even though spending a lifetime outdoors - grandfather mounted it on a concrete-base stand on a terrace overlooking the sea and town. It has a dial where you can switch colour filters. Asides from the regular clear sight, the yellow filter looks best. Actually I just had a google and it might be an M17 Minneapolis Honeywell from memory of the shape of the thing or something similar to it. Mostly used it as a kid.
Tank optics are usually sealed pretty well with inert gas flush inside and a generous amount of desiccant to prevent fogging. Also the glass is top notch doped borosilicate. Probably the windows of your houses will distort (glass does flow, super mega slowly) before this optics going bad.
@@niume7468 Nope, VFW has a long 88 (237mm pen) same level of boom as the tiger II, and a 5 second reload by default, with an aced crew you get that down to 4 seconds which is just... idiotic..

Day 121: Phly, you should play the Hawk III Chinese fighter; 900lbs of bombs in a biplane at 1.0 that you can dogfight in after dropping. Totally balanced.
I've only played this game for 2 months and I already believe that the game will, artificially, alter game play, based on your performance that round. The amount of times when I've been shelled directly, when I've been up on the board vs. down is astronomical.
@@DustyJumpWing I can't definitely quantify this but after my first 62 or 63 days, playing daily,I've come to assume that I have a 50/50 chance of being the uptier or down tier , so it basically factors itself out. Of course we have the good games and the God games and the rage inducing games but unless you're someone like Phly, those are usually, statistical anomalies. And yes I know that I have overthought this and over worded it.
Maybe it's because when you're having a good game you are more offensive/active/exposed, engaging more people thus making your position known either by hits or scouting, which will result in more shelling.
@@Bazelf dude may sound crazy but he may be actually right, when you shoot 122mm from a IS-2 into a side of a light tank and shell just.. disappear to some other dimension known only to gayjin and you recall a battle earlier was very profitable for you makes you think about conspiracy xD things just are too fkd up to be coincidencial
"If you guys aren't using the Nashie, you aren't doing it right." *cries in non-premium Poor Thunder player who can count their 5.3 tanks on one hand, none of which are Nashorns.* Day 33: Take the Scimitar, the last Supermarine, out for a spin. 1000 pounder bombs, MCLOS missile CAS, non-exploding rocket goodness, whatever.
Day 252: Phly, I challenge you to the conphusing aerial smokescreen challenge. Destroy three enemy aircrapht with smoke shells in a single game. Good luck. o7
I have played it in sim day ago, had a blast haha even 2a6 dm53 bounces off t34 driver hatch true that on that “none of us will ever be good at this game”, we are as good as the game allows
Phly should do a special new year’s livestream to countdown the last 30 or so minutes of the year. I say this because there might be some people not celebrating with their family, it would be a good way to let those people celebrate the new year. It’s just an idea, and I get that he has a family an all so if he does not and spends time with his family, it’s fine.
As a nashorn player i can say that by some reason he get quite inconsistent when hit angled armour while i dont see this behaviour with other tanks who use the long 88 or even in the projection analisys, maybe there is a bug there.
probably a balance decision by the Snail, but it does not make much sense considering the 88 mm is the only thing the tank has going for it, but then again, maybe its bcs u mostly shoot t-34s and their armor is just dumb
If this is proposital for balance reasons, this is the most weird and unnatural method for it, and about hit t-34, actually I could observe this same behavior in other tanks, again, always in angled armour sections with insufficient angle to actually bounce the shot, thing that doesn't happen with the waffentrager (at least with my experience). And until now I always tinked that this was my imagination, or just bad connection, but wen I see phly bounces I immediately saw semelhance with my experience
6:16 1,17 million times 5 million is 5,85 million golden eagles, which rounds up to 5,9-6 trillion golden eagles. You can get 25,000 golden eagles for $165 (USD). 6 trillion divided by 25k golden eagles is 240 million, times $165 (USD) is 39,6 billion USD. Phly must own the global stock markets to pay us all XD
You really struggle until you get the sabot rounds for their 37mm's. Then have phun! I even use the Lago 1 in much higher BR matches because it's quick and that 37mm APDS can pen 105mm.
I’m glad Phly is speaking up about the bs russian bias. I get similar bounces among the whole t34 line that leaves my head scratching. Gaijin must fix this, but it’s been years been broken like this
You know Phly, for the longest time I didn't understand your channel. I was watching all the channels that were first giving the history of the vehicle and then review it. You were just making funny noises and laughing. But now I get it, you are having fun and I am having fun with you. Every video you make makes me laugh, enjoy and smile. Thank you.
2:21 Hill on E3, perfect sniping spot. You are at a comfortable 400+ meters from the enemy, most of them have no idea how to shoot through the canopy and you are safe from the planes because of the trees and rocks there.
Great video as always! You should do a video on the new Chinese M41D. its a Bulldog with thermals, APFSDS, and a laser range finder. (warning: its not good)
I'll tell you right up that those seemingly totally random and inexplicable bounces are part of why German tanks are, in my opinion, too low in BR in a lot of the WW2 vehicles. That long 88 has no reason to bounce on the normal M4A3 on the desert map. The T-34 hatch bounce was a travesty. The T-14 even though at a weird angle probably never should have bounced any of those shots and it later lead to you being hesitant when seeing a KV-85 even though you probably could have cut right through it's armor. But I get it, it makes you play differently when you can't rely on what the game tells you should occur. Shit like this is why War Thunder will never have a competitive scene beyond a niche crowd and will continue to dwindle in player counts.
I would like to add though, of course the 85mm Russian gun will NEVER FUCKING FAIL to turn any angled plate into strictly whatever thickness it is effectively. Where as every other normal capped and ballistic capped round has a much worse penalty at extreme angles, the Russian 85mm makes the lower side of a Sherman Jumbo penetrate-able even up to like a 75 degree hit angle. It's completely unrealistic and I wish they'd fix that garbage, I've found no basis in reality for that kind of performance. The damn thing's performance against slopes is as good or better than APDS which is a tungsten bullet of much smaller diameter. By the way it works in game, it would have to have a shell tip that is like HESH but somehow totally transfers the energy of the shell into a much better angle of attack while somehow also turning that angle of attack by a huge amount and yet not lose a huge amount of kinetic energy. Like the physics don't add up to me and I've never heard of the Russians having some advanced technology on shell caps or heads that allowed for such a significant improvement against angles and slopes. If anyone knows of a study or test results please, please let me know.| And don't worry, APCR is still totally worthless against angles even though that also wasn't true to any test I've ever seen done on APCR or at least not to the degree the game implements. The APCR in game already does shit post penetration, why do they make it useless against angles and sloping armor? If APCR was the way it is in game, so extraordinarily situational, I doubt anyone would have ever made the fucking things.
Phly: you bounced because the WT meta data showed you killed to many tanks with that life. so to make it fair. your next shot was 100% rubber. Bounce Out yo!
I need to say, that i didnt really watched your Videos for a while, but maaaan i am so glad, that i came back again. This was really fun to watch and i really missed it, thanks for the cool Video! Stay safe and peace :)
Thats a great sound Fx 7:51 LMFAO but i do like when the Nashorn reloads and drops the used shell out the back of the tank :) Oh love getting arty perfectly dropped rite when u repair and on top of that you got the Super dust bowl in the map
14:40 Phly, you're forgetting the "25% chance of bounce" roll Gaijin builds into every shot fired at a Russian tank. I get some tanks have trolly armor and even I benefit from a crazy shot once in a while. But like you said, there is 0 chance of that round bouncing in that spot on a T34, yet we _all_ know not to hit a T34 there because chances are you'll non-pen. After bouncing a weird shot to an SU-85's rear, I found there's a random 700mm bit of armor there right behind the little tank thing on the left side - its not a seam because its not there on the T34 its based on. A couple days ago a KV's track bounced my 76mm from 50ft away.
This Tank Model needs a Reloading Animation. It would be sick. That guy needs to reload and I don't know what that captain guy does, but he should do something
I was not aware you could zero in your scopes in War Thunder. I've made some insane shots by just adjusting the scope above my target, but im pretty sure sniping is gonna be alot easier now
@@squidy4082yes! It keeps your rrticle on target while adjustih for the distance in meters. its in settings under weaponary iirc. Not at my pc so i cant check.
@@EmpireofJoe hmm I mean I guess it’s not too much work to just donut normally since you have to time it already, plus I’m on console and didn’t even know it existed
artillery rounds use a centrifugal trigger(usually 16-18 spins) the barrel is approx 7-8 spins. the rounds are "live" after 2 barrel lengths. that wasn't 2 lengths. in RL it would've bounced. referance 105mm hammel gun.
Great video as usual, Sir! Been a while since we've seen a video with you, Odd, Benny, and Jean Claud. Love watching you guys having a ball together. The laughing is just so contagious I find myself almost in tears as I laugh right along with all of you. Anyway Keep up the great videos and Happy New Year to you and yours!

@@squidy4082 With the Tiger 2, you have a fair bit of armour around you and EVERYONE is gunning to kill a Tiger 2....with the old Nashorn....no armor is best!.....just the idiots that play air RB in ground RB targets the open top of the Nashorn like CRAZY! I take the Nashorn into 6.8 br games and with a little luck...I can 1 shot most at that BR.
@@squidy4082 Not saying that the open top is better...it's the biggest drawback! But as you said, the majority of rounds just passes through unless it hits something solid or takes one crewmember with it. But saying that, you do get a much higher top speed and it can turn fairly quickly compared to the sluggish Tiger 2. I'd rather be playing the Nashorn than the Tiger 2!

Where as every other normal capped and ballistic capped round has a much worse penalty at extreme angles, the Russian 85mm makes the lower side of a Sherman Jumbo penetrate-able even up to like a 75 degree hit angle. It's completely unrealistic and I wish they'd fix that garbage, I've found no basis in reality for that kind of performance. The damn thing's performance against slopes is as good or better than APDS which is a tungsten bullet of much smaller diameter.
By the way it works in game, it would have to have a shell tip that is like HESH but somehow totally transfers the energy of the shell into a much better angle of attack while somehow also turning that angle of attack by a huge amount and yet not lose a huge amount of kinetic energy. Like the physics don't add up to me and I've never heard of the Russians having some advanced technology on shell caps or heads that allowed for such a significant improvement against angles and slopes. If anyone knows of a study or test results please, please let me know.|
And don't worry, APCR is still totally worthless against angles even though that also wasn't true to any test I've ever seen done on APCR or at least not to the degree the game implements. The APCR in game already does shit post penetration, why do they make it useless against angles and sloping armor? If APCR was the way it is in game, so extraordinarily situational, I doubt anyone would have ever made the fucking things.
hahaha, that bounce at the T-34 was due to Stalinium. This old trick is still working - fascinating
Phly: you bounced because the WT meta data showed you killed to many tanks with that life. so to make it fair. your next shot was 100% rubber. Bounce Out yo!
Me: *shoots front of non angled Tiger*
Drivers Hatch: Im 'bout to end this mans whole career
It will never cease to amaze me how often shots that should never bounce in a million years still bounce.
It’s because the drivers ports are made of stalinium 😂😂
@@VolkKorvi281 there's alot of drivers ports that seem made of stalinium or my rounds are suddenly made in pre-WW2 China
germany gang ⬇️
Desperately waiting for my 5mil GE as I am trying to grind some tech trees
Cant wait for my 10 mil Golden Eagles. Keep being great Phly >)
I need to say, that i didnt really watched your Videos for a while, but maaaan i am so glad, that i came back again.
This was really fun to watch and i really missed it, thanks for the cool Video!
Stay safe and peace :)
cant wait for that 5M GE, hope soon tho. love your videos :)
Germany 5.3 is insane.
Tiger H1, Panther D, Whirbelwind, Panzer 40/70 V, Nashorn/Sturer Emil, and Puma is so powerful.
Got a 2.2km kill on a sherm with that bad boy the other day
15:00 "Brain is optimal" Sentenc of the year xD
The Thumbnail literally killed me for 2 mins straight. Couldn't believe my eyes man. Purrfection!
I'm here for my golden eagles.
Still waiting for those 5 mil GE Phly
Alot of golden eagles went out the window to make this content. Deep respect
Gotta love those ads, as soon as phly aim down sight:"yo, want a beer?CORONA"
We need an eventual compilation with every time Phly has been BSd by the snail
he has never ben BSd by the snail.. it works as intented.......
Nice we all get some golden eagles thanks for the New Years gift Phly!
I agree with you , that was a great sound effect
6:20, I'll take my golden eagles now sir!!!!! I'll let the other ones slide lol
Thats a great sound Fx 7:51 LMFAO but i do like when the Nashorn reloads and drops the used shell out the back of the tank :) Oh love getting arty perfectly dropped rite when u repair and on top of that you got the Super dust bowl in the map
Watching an attempt of revenge kill on a plane failing that ways is so therapeutic. 7:00
12:00 to 13:00 , that was movie quality play! Nice!
I’m patiently waiting on my golden eagles now Phly :)
6:22 ok when
renember, never say anything that you know that you'll regret
that thumbnail got me laughing so hard that I just died 🤣
Nashorn is the yeetiest of the Grim Yeeters.
"and this is why, ..... none of us will be good at this game" .... I laughed a lil to hard here. well done.
Where are my golden eagels 😂😂
Live ur vid bro❤💯😋
14:40 Phly, you're forgetting the "25% chance of bounce" roll Gaijin builds into every shot fired at a Russian tank. I get some tanks have trolly armor and even I benefit from a crazy shot once in a while. But like you said, there is 0 chance of that round bouncing in that spot on a T34, yet we _all_ know not to hit a T34 there because chances are you'll non-pen. After bouncing a weird shot to an SU-85's rear, I found there's a random 700mm bit of armor there right behind the little tank thing on the left side - its not a seam because its not there on the T34 its based on. A couple days ago a KV's track bounced my 76mm from 50ft away.
This Tank Model needs a Reloading Animation. It would be sick.
That guy needs to reload and I don't know what that captain guy does, but he should do something
I was not aware you could zero in your scopes in War Thunder. I've made some insane shots by just adjusting the scope above my target, but im pretty sure sniping is gonna be alot easier now
Is that why he didn’t have to aim up at 11:00, also how do you do it ?
@@squidy4082yes! It keeps your rrticle on target while adjustih for the distance in meters. its in settings under weaponary iirc. Not at my pc so i cant check.
@@EmpireofJoe hmm I mean I guess it’s not too much work to just donut normally since you have to time it already, plus I’m on console and didn’t even know it existed
Literally got the nashorn yesterday, sniped an ebr from lake 1600 meters while it was moving, nashorn is a beast
How does the gun seem more deadly than a tiger 2?
It is good in its ways i guess
@@arnoldfabian7543 it’s the same damage I think but on a faster tank
Late uploads are better than no uploads. Love the vids thanks
Every time I see people in open Germany tanks I go after it in my f6f-5 with Tiny Tim’s since they are always killing me
*laughs in 12.7mm Browning*
ST-A1/2 video, please! Type 60 SPRG would be dope too. That thing is WAY better than the ATM.
hmmm, can't wait for those golden eagles phly😁 6:20
Waiting for the ge🤣, nice video phly
Well we are waiting for those golden eagles😏
artillery rounds use a centrifugal trigger(usually 16-18 spins) the barrel is approx 7-8 spins. the rounds are "live" after 2 barrel lengths. that wasn't 2 lengths. in RL it would've bounced. referance 105mm hammel gun.
Great video as usual, Sir! Been a while since we've seen a video with you, Odd, Benny, and Jean Claud. Love watching you guys having a ball together. The laughing is just so contagious I find myself almost in tears as I laugh right along with all of you. Anyway Keep up the great videos and Happy New Year to you and yours! And Happy New Year to everyone in the chat as well!
It's always satisfying when you snipe a tank from mile's away
That thumbnail reminds me of the scene in pirates of the Caribbean where captain Jack pulls out a ridiculously massive spyglass lol
i did the math and phly bounced 7 times meaning 35 000 000 GE for 1.8 million people. 63,1e+12 GE to hand out. GL
Santa Phly! Have a great 2022! Smash it like a 150mm HE shell!
Thank you VERY much for showing some real love to the o'l Nashorn.....she really has been overlooked WAYYYYY too long! Thanx for making my year complete....happy new year Phly.....!
What makes it different from a tiger 2 though ? I mean I understand it but it seems more deadly ?
@@squidy4082 With the Tiger 2, you have a fair bit of armour around you and EVERYONE is gunning to kill a Tiger 2....with the old Nashorn....no armor is best!.....just the idiots that play air RB in ground RB targets the open top of the Nashorn like CRAZY! I take the Nashorn into 6.8 br games and with a little luck...I can 1 shot most at that BR.
@@pieterreynders5607 how is the open top better? I would assume the shells just got straight through and not explode much
@@squidy4082 Not saying that the open top is better...it's the biggest drawback! But as you said, the majority of rounds just passes through unless it hits something solid or takes one crewmember with it. But saying that, you do get a much higher top speed and it can turn fairly quickly compared to the sluggish Tiger 2. I'd rather be playing the Nashorn than the Tiger 2!
@@pieterreynders5607 if rounds pass right through what’s the drawback of the open top! And how don’t the rounds explode or nothing inside
Phly, play low tier derp cannon at higher BR with your squadmate that use Wiesel. He would be acting as rangefinder man and AA role
that first game when it "came down to miliseconds", was probably cause you were at 333 ping and 1% packet loss lol gg tho!
I did the same with the M26 and lobbed it right through the back of a Tiger 2’s turret at 2450m it was sooo satisfying.
When can we expect those 5 million eagles?
I usually dont play the nash much because of depression and its a tall squishy target but i enjoy watching other people play it
13:38: Holy accoustic guitar.
As one advertisement could say,
"Löng, löng schlööööööööng!"
Ill be more then happy to take my GE in smaller installments Phly since its the holiday season and all
13:40 Phly got so mad he momentarily turned into Jerma
