Most OP lineup in the game is most likely bringing all the captured tanks that germany has. Captured Sherman, t-34, KV-1, Churchill etc and just stomp everyone.
That Churchill is an absolute menace, and the German KV2 is by far my favorite tank in the game. Absolutely love the performance. It’s kinda hilarious how cheap they get during those mega sale events, I think I got 5-6 tanks for less than $20 bucks total.
The T-34 with a 75mm PaK kinda existed, the Finnish army refitted a T-34-85 with a 75mm Stuk 40 gun (from a hetzer). This conversion was called the ps. 245-4 and I think that it would be good at 4.7 between the panzer IV H/J and panther D.
@@leeham6230 First of all The D5T is 5.0. Second of all the 3 Man turret gives the tank a benefit compared to the D5T and Last but not Least If it would be 4.7 The Balance between it and the T-34-57 would be downright unfair
The other bias point of T-34s is the entire side of the tank is lined with radiators, so when you shoot the side there's a better than 50% chance you'll just hit a radiator which doesn't do shit in WT.
It used to be a lot worse too. The fuel tanks in the T-34 and KV-1 used to just eat your shots entirely even if you penned. Since they added the fuel exploded mechanic it at least stops those from being an effective spall liner. Which is genuinely how they acted before.
That’s actually what happened. The turrets would be destroyed but the chassis would be fine, or when the Russians would run out of fuel they would sometimes just abandon the vehicle. The Germans even used it to mount the 20-mm Flakvierling 38 anti-aircraft gun aka the flakpanzer t-34r.
Day 214: 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.
KV-1 (L-11) has the exact same turret mechanics, except it can partially stop German 75mm/M10 M64 shot. It acts like a spall liner and is completely OP
Phil always knows what can and cannot pen him and what he can and cannot pen meanwhile I just balls to the wall attack every thing I see only to go “well shiiiiii-“ and get one tapped
Probably my fav t-34 in the game, it's so decent at doing everything and has such a lovely battle rating I would play this thing when I lost my guts getting gaijined in higher br.
Noooooooo dude I can't take these op tanks anymore don't give gaijin ideas, already have to overangle hull armor to survive and pray to rngod that no shots on turret.
@@viktoriyaserebryakov2755 it's enough to get one shot, like panthers and panzers are pretty consistent in one's hotting medium tanks qnd anyway with your gunner out what can be done
I’m so glad I bought this instead of the Churchill because it changed me. And now I progressed through 4.0-7.7 in just one month from grinding throughout summer break
Once I had encounter with that german K-1 premium. He was driving boldly on our positions uphill on cap point and in dense forest. The fight was fierce. I at least shot him 15 times, and my team was shoting at him all the time. So I think he got like at minimum 40+ shots. Multiple artillery bombardments. He soaked all. He survived. Multiple times he was tracked and in repair mode and he just stand there. Many wrecked tanks, both ours and enemy gathered around him so he could hide behind them. Meanwhile he get support from others and so I died. I came with plane to bomb him. I droped bomb. Yep he survived that too. Nuts. He won that game for their team.
Man the T-34s really are pretty much invulnerable to most fighter based bombs that aren't direct hits... Yesterday I was bombed at least 5 times and the most damage I took was tracks and barrel, and a Sherman had to finish me off
@PhlyDaily There is a hidden 20-30 mm (?) plate around the gun breech hidden inside. That's the hidden Russian bias. Stuff like that. You can see it when you perfectly align your mouse between the vertical crack of the "cheeks" of the turret and the gun mantlet itself
Been watching your videos for years, and still to this day I'm baffled as to how people NOT see you - even when they are looking directly at you and you are sitting right in the open XD
Hey Phly! You should check out the Italian C13 T90! It was the vehicle that got me my phirst nuke, and I’d like to see it and the ABUL/74 (specifically the 90mm) on the channel! The combo means in any terrain you can get to a sneaky spot, and scout phor tons of SP! (Day 85) (But play the Hawk III first)
7:25 The fact that you can do that in War Thunder, makes this game better and more realistic than WoT in my opinion! In WoT you can't sit in a shadow and be undetected. Not when a tank passing you by from this close! You would get spotted and everyone in the enemy team can see you and your position! The HP bar gives you away! There are also many other reasons why I think WT is the best tank battle game! This is just one of them!!
I get blind all the time. Earlier today I was driving right in front of a Sherman that was shooting at me and I didn't even see him. Literally 2 tank lengths away. I drove past him, still not seeing him, then I saw his turret turning to shoot my side. To quote the meme: "I have no clue what I'm doing."
75mm Puma, T-34 and KV-2(German versions), used to be my go to whenever I had any Silver Lion boosters. I forgot which premium aircraft I'd used, haven't played the game in three years.
Daddy Phly, that turret is around 100 mm thick, those "cheeks" are overlaid on top of the turret front plate. Germans also were really "surprised" with those cheeks when this new turret was introduced on the frontlines.
flak 88 on a t34 seems like something gaijin would add as a battle pass tank, they have the gun already in the game they just would need to remake the flak gun or reuse the ground variant
British used a captured Panther. There is video and picture evidence of this, as well as plenty of books and information. Gaijin refuse to put it in the game. Amazing.
Soldiers stealing eachothers equipment is hilarious xD I remember reading about this american bomber which was found on a German airfield painted in Luftwaffe colors with nose art of a wolf in a Nazi uniform and the name of the plane was The Lufthound ....the Germans somehow stole an American bomber and named it ...The Lufthound...blows my mind.
Hey Phly I was wondering if you could do a video on that big Italian plane with 4 engines and has like a 75 mm cannon in the front, that would be very funny
Phly:"the geramans in War Thunder hAvE ThE 'bEsT' T-34 with a 76mm" mean while the T-34-85: ... T-34-100: ... "ARE WE A JOKE TO YOU!?????" 'like they don't exists'
Love the new video, something that would be cool is a rag to riches. You make a new account and have a series where you start from the reserve planes and then just make your way up the tech tree. Just an idea to change up the content ✌
Germany also has the best KV-2, with the soviet equivalent (the KV-2 (1940)) being a rare vehicle and the KV-2 (1939) being the worst version of the KV-2. It also has the best desert and city camo because of them only being one color that is very cloe to their surroundings.
I once brought up that the German KV1B is better than the KV1E because it doesn't have to face German tanks. I was called an idiot and a "commieboo". Thanks dad for bringing it up :)
The German Pak 36(r) is a Russian field gun but rechambered for Pak 40 75mm ammunition which has twice the propellant of the 76.2mm Russian gun and a better shell APCBC-HE. I wonder if Gaijin decided to do the same to the T34/76 gun, even though the Germans never modified them that way. It should have a cupola as well. That they did add for good visibility. As to the front turret armor looks like they welded the curved plate onto the base armor so there is the 53mm bulge plus the 45mm base armor plus the front turret angle and the curved plate. That gets you the 100mm effect. Try shooting the mantlet.
Most OP lineup in the game is most likely bringing all the captured tanks that germany has. Captured Sherman, t-34, KV-1, Churchill etc and just stomp everyone.
I shot a German Churchill in the side with an Su 152 and it didn’t pen. It wasn’t the HE round either.
That Churchill is an absolute menace, and the German KV2 is by far my favorite tank in the game. Absolutely love the performance. It’s kinda hilarious how cheap they get during those mega sale events, I think I got 5-6 tanks for less than $20 bucks total.
@Bruges dont leak it man... they gonna nerf it now
Too bad the Sherman comes and goes instead of being a proper premium...
they should make a "German Main" pack including all these vehicles
“We take a bit of this, add a bit of this, and BOOM, T-34 but better”

I suspect the main reason they swapped out turrets was because they had a lot of German ammo & experience with German guns…

Basically russians have good armor and germans have good guns put that together and there you have it a perfect tank
It’s the same gun as a normal 76.2 mm T-34 the Germans added extra armor on the front
I really hate captured vehicle premiums, especially if they already exist in other trees
The German Pak 36(r) is a Russian field gun but rechambered for Pak 40 75mm ammunition which has twice the propellant of the 76.2mm Russian gun and a better shell APCBC-HE. I wonder if Gaijin decided to do the same to the T34/76 gun, even though the Germans never modified them that way. It should have a cupola as well. That they did add for good visibility. As to the front turret armor looks like they welded the curved plate onto the base armor so there is the 53mm bulge plus the 45mm base armor plus the front turret angle and the curved plate. That gets you the 100mm effect. Try shooting the mantlet.
You also get a super sneaky awesome bonus facing Russian guns with T-34 armor.
The Germans can literally Frankenstein any vehicles they touch... Jesus
