Guess what! I shot down my first plane today with the short 75 on the chi ha. A friendly zero was getting shot at on Iwo Jima and had a Corsair on his six, and he flew right up the side of the mountain and I got him! Pro gamer moment right there
I did not know my setup would be so popular lol, soon at light amph both sides got lvl3 then 4, I decided to go “AA”. I’m so happy it insta shreds planes, infantry and armor with APCR, 375+ APCR total rounds given ; let’s say that’s a fuck ton for this gun. Main gun ammo is like less than 900
I literally never see anybody using the amphibious tanks with the AA HMG spec tree. It looks absolutely devastating, but I hope not everybody figures that out! Also, is it just me, or does the enhanced zoom in the Sherman make it feel worse to you? I accidentally picked it, and I swear, unless I'm camping up on a hill with it, it is so irritating, because the zoom is too high, making it impossible to shoot anything while moving!
I am really enjoying this guys content. Reminds me a lot of Marbleduck before he went berserk and checked into a mental asylum. Keep up the good work Azura.
I like your explanations and scenarios for each specialization, but I would also like to see a visual on screen of the specialization, for example cut out and edit the menu showing the specialization, and put it on screen as you talk about it, eventually showing each fully maxed out build. Instead of putting it on screen at the end. But that’s just my opinion. Tank on
Great stuff! That AA build seems to be the way to go. Question: how is it you have almost 600,000 CCs? Do you actually pay for them or is there a high paying assingment I dont know about?
@@AzuraProductions LVT is good for AA the Sherman I say depends on map breakthrough wise flamerthrower is good for the bunkers like you said but I like howitzer for Iwo Jima wake and storm would be 76 heat t build so I agree it’s better
Those heat rounds feel downright broken. Even if the Japanese tanks ambush you the heat rounds just delete them in seconds. They really need to be toned down a bit.
Your accent cracks me up at times. I worked with a fella that was south korean who was adopted by sicillians who then became U.S. citizens. Very similair accent
I don't even know, they are just fun to use. I still play infantry more than I play tanks though. (except for the pacific since I gotta get all the guides out asap lol)
I just like jumping into the battle with the flamethrower Sherman causing as much trouble and chaos as I can so my team can have a chance to move up. Usually works out for me. And burning a bunker out is so much fun.
They need to add M26 Pershing, American Heavy Tank. I would also like to see the Type 5 Chi-Ri, Medium Tank as the Japanese counterpart. Both did exist and were produced however while the Pershing saw action and was mass produced, Ch-Ri only had prototypes built and were going to be used for defense of Japan which obviously never happened.
I wish I could pick a country to fight for, because if I want to upgrade my Sherman for example I would have to get lucky in order to just be able to play for the Americans let alone level up my tank, I wish there was a vehicles only game mode.
Bro my new fav spec is Light amph for both Jap and US. Go APCR lvl3 spec and then go Middle 4th one for the Anti Air/Anti ainfantty /Anti Armor weapon, it decimated planes in seconds.
I think a cool aa idea for America and Japan for America they can start with a m13 half track then you could specialize it by putting 2 more 50 Cals then it would be a m16 half track for Japan the only thing i can think is a type 94 aa truck even though this specialization would not make sense but you could make it become a so kid even though the two look nothing alike it would still be cool
I love the ka-mi it's epic though I think it's been nerfed a bit. I use the 37.5 cannon for long range infantry 36 shots! Then add the ap rounds which do great armour damage and fire about 2x faster than sherman can and I get 12 shots. Then I replace the mg for a flamethrower for cqb. The flamethrower is great for area denial and groups of infantry but not as quick to kill as the pickup version
For the sherman im more of a aggressive tanker so i choose the flame thrower then i went over the tree to get the heat-t round so i was 50-50 agaimst tanks and infrintry
Honestly I prefer to run 105 with flamer for infantry support on the sherman. The flamethrower does damage to tanks and the 105 does a ton of damage if you hit the sides and rear. Almost 2 shot.
@@sigmamalegrindset132 It's a challenge. But theres a way. If you get in close and ram them, you are heavier. You can easly flip them and take advantage of that fact.
So, after seeing this I jumped on Grand ops hamada, got to the last round on aerodrome and thought hmm, all this tank gameplay makes me wanna run a tank. Happens I went 157-0. Safe to say tanks are not ok in this game
Why do I think this should have been the og specialisation number? Like the amount of specializations for the medium and light tanks on the pacific are on the same level of previous games like Bf4.
I think they should fix the howitzers.. the drop is way too insane.. the reload is already slow enough but the shell’s drop makes it unusable.. I of course picked the howitzer and have to endure with it until 6 specialization.. I’ve been having to camp at the back and shell D flag with it on pacific storm :(
Try pushing objectives and play aggressively with your team, it can wreck strongholds. If you try to snipe from far away, it is pretty hard to hit moving targets
That’s a lie, 1v1 with APCR does damage when hitting armor ANYWHERE. I don’t glance, I took on two T97s in a LAT lvl4 Spec APCR/50 cal setup. I won the fight, no report for me or backup etc... they don’t suck, its hat tanking is my main class for a year almost now. I never lose 1v1 fights until now, Pacific, using Mortar on Sherman and T97 .. I’m about to reset them I think on both, it’s quite shit. Churchill mkvii mortar is the only mortar tank worth it. Even splash damage is shit
I have a problem with my tanks, when I stop moving and I try to aim, my tank just moves on its own and it annoys me so much, I get killed easily because I can't shoot back. Is there a way I can stop this, I also play on console if that helps.
@@AzuraProductions it could be both of those things, I've had my controller for about a year and probaly just was in uneven ground. Thanks for the input.
The LVTs that are prespawned are default, you can't use your upgrades on them. I understand that for breakthrough but don't really get it for conquest. Only the ones you spawn in directly can use the upgrades
If i had to guess...French...Italians.....or canadians maybe since we already have the Americans......the russians will probably come after with either Iran or Finland for the dlc after that
For Japanese Chi Ha Type 97, default 57mm cannon with AP is probably the most versatile now (video is outdated) For American Sherman, it is rather specialized with default cannon being pretty good against infantry or going with 76mm that is somewhat more versatile but mainly towards anti-tank with the HEAT.
You know, if the tanks were realistic in this game, which thank goodness they are not, the Tiger would be 1 or 2 shotting every Allied Vehicle, and most Allied shells would bounce off of it. Also, the Japanese tanks of WW2 were terrible, lightly armored and obsolete, most of them could be penetrated with the .50 caliber machine gun
Kinglew07 7 In the Last Tiger Campaign the American tanks were pretty much all two shot, you had to hit a Sherman directly from behind to blow it to kingdom come in one shot. Realistically they would be one shotted from pretty much anywhere but it’s at least semi realistic for what’s easily the most realistic campaign in the game.
In real life, taking out a Tank only takes one shot. Nothing more and no matter how small the penetration is. One instance for example there was a JagdPanther with it's edge of Mantlet penetrated by a 57mm Cromwell using APCR, the penetration hole is a size of a finger and yet the crew of the Jagdpanther Crew bailed out. Other instances like the Tiger-I in Rauray, a 75mm from a British Sherman Mk. II (M4A1) skewered it's shell against the Driver Port, the Tiger crew bailed out and the penetration hole is also small as a pinky finger.
Mr. Mister In WarThunder, Your Crew does not feel any emotions but were secretly Armor. If Gaijin adds a much more realistic Mode that can one-shot Tanks with a single shot penetration, even can knock out no matter how your modules were damaged.
As far as I know, the only vulnerable part of the Tiger is it’s rear armor, supposedly a Sherman could punch through there, but in reality, most of the Sherman’s would have been destroyed before they could get anywhere near to the Tiger, much less be able to drive behind it. Fury, for example, is realistic in the fact that there was a Tiger tank they encountered, which quickly dispatched of 2 (or maybe 3) of the Sherman’s, whilst the shots the Sherman’s could land bounced off harmlessly. This realism fades when it is down to Brad Pitt’s tank and the Tiger, who somehow misses several shots at Fury, despite the Germans having some of the most highly skilled tank crews. It is possible, although highly unlikely, that the Tiger crew was new, replacing the old one, although I doubt the generals would trust such a valuable asset to inexperienced soldiers. Pitt’s tank was an upgraded M4 “Jumbo” Sherman, with a more powerful 76 mm gun. It is only a miracle that he managed to pull behind the Tiger, thus destroying it.

M4 Sherman with Extra ammo and HE rounds is😍👌
Are you gonna do an overview of the reinforcement tanks?
Yes but I need more time to make sure it is a quality video
I like how you didn't limit yourself to more detail-oriented content. something for everyone!

WetWiIIy a video was done for this by someone it’s quite OP as a people shredder and you can double up the 50 cal as a AP round
I use them all the time. It's very satisfying
Thank you very much for making this video! I’ve been really wondering what the best specializations are on the tanks.

Thx man it’s really helpful!
Great overview!
Very helpful. Mahalos!
The type 97 is good for hiding in Bushs or head glitching in a sense with ridge for cover to give you a good edge over shermans
Just unlocked the Japanese tank tree. It’s a beast , 3 shots to take out a Sherman. 31-1 last game!
Great video, as always))))
Thanks for the video information very helpful. 👍
The flame thrower specialisation is really useful
Thanks Azuraaaaaaa
The anti-tank cannons on the Type 97 make more sense because the pacific maps seem to have a metric fuckton of U.S tanks to fight against.
Great stuff! That AA build seems to be the way to go.
Question: how is it you have almost 600,000 CCs? Do you actually pay for them or is there a high paying assingment I dont know about?
You just keep doing class assignments and leveling up helps
@@AzuraProductions LVT is good for AA the Sherman I say depends on map breakthrough wise flamerthrower is good for the bunkers like you said but I like howitzer for Iwo Jima wake and storm would be 76 heat t build so I agree it’s better

I keep getting hacking accusations using the 50 cal/HMG builds for the amphibious tanks, LOL. They're so overpowered!
Wait until the lunge mines come out and we will be very thankful for their power. They are the most fun i have had in this game with tanks
I found that when starting as the U.S using the LVTs from the 2 LSTs will save there progress making it literally the only fastest max rank tank
Great video and very helpful! I love when you make these types of videos!
Why do you like tanks so much? Or what got you interested in tanks?
I don't even know, they are just fun to use. I still play infantry more than I play tanks though. (except for the pacific since I gotta get all the guides out asap lol)

I might but will need to consult with others first and will have to try them myself
I got the aa cannon on the Japanese boat and went 90-2 it absolutely shreds infantry
Try the valentine aa and the panzer aa. Both absolutely shred infantry and planes. The panzer really needs the upgraded turret for planes though.
Damn did anything change since then?
