@@totsu99 6.7 is where germany suffers. 7.3 M48A2 and above, germany is once again back to decent look point and click. Not recommended though.. much harder to aim using something like the Leo if you are used to tigers, Panthers, panzers. The zoom on the Leo will throw you way off sometimes if you're not used to it. Unlock the HEATFS and the Rangefinder asap on both the M48 and the Leo. You have 400mm pen at all ranges flat on, and it one shots almost every SPAA/light tank as HEATFS hull breaks everything.

The spaced big tanks like the t34 will give u a run for your money. Also uptiers= everyone has stabilizers and you don't.
actually, at this tier, the panther was my fave, iunno, just always seemed to work well. it always seems to have just enough speed, armor, and firepower, regardless of situation, that it didn't require too much adaption to maps
The Panzer IV/70(V) fills that for me. It can do everything the Panther D can, aside from raw speed (made up for by having an actual reverse gear) , and it doesn't have the glaring turret weak spot the Panther D is cursed with. And it's at a lower BR
23:18 Although it definitely does assist in HEAT protection, the plates were installed to defeat Russian anti-tank rifles during the early stages of Barbarossa. It also has an L/48 gun, whereas the F2 and G have the L/43 gun.
I strongly disagree with his view on the PZ4H I used that thing with my Tiger at 5.3 and it was a great late game backup because by that point most of the heavy armor will be gone
Oxy, these reviews are invaluable to me, I am a beginner to WT having started 6 months ago and together with the help from your Ultimate beginners guide I have now started to progress up the tank trees, I am just coming up to the top of tier II now, I hope you will be able to produce similar guides for the Russian and American lines soon too. Many thanks for taking the time to produce these for us.
@@svitrutar9137 That's because like me, I'm willing to bet you're usually shooting with your tanks main gun at an incoming plane at low elevations as it's heading straight for you, whereas with an SPAA, you're usually just spraying the sky hoping to hit something lol.
It’s important and more helpful to wait until the plane gets close. It drives me crazy seeing people going ham on a plane that’s out of range, chances are they won’t hit anything and they’ll end up revealing their location . Be patient and shoot in burst and try to stay concealed. Don’t reveal your location until the enemy is close and don’t have time to react quick enough and you’ll get more kills in spaa
@@jimmyshane3439 Have to agree here. Even in arcade, if you wait till the plane(s) get within 1km/750 yards or so, they're quite easier to hit and kill. If you're playing realistic or simulator, use the test drive and get used to the ranges that make a kill likely. Use the Gunner sight sometimes so you can use the reticle to estimate the range a plane is at, so you know the planes silhouette in the gunners sight for a sloppy range estimate. Also, if you wait till the plane commits to a dive or bomb drop, you can either get a good hit or force the to abort that attack.
Because hull MGs are irrelevant during 99.9% of confrontations in WT. They are far from the priority when there are much more substantial things to add.
2 very different perspectives, lol. Latter actually makes sense, former is just a general "Gaijin is greedy and sucks" comment without much thought put into it.
Great job as with all other tech tree reviews. I was surprised to find that I agree with 95% of your opinions. Especially regarding the British, it is way too popular to disregard their 7.3 (to be 7.7 soon) line up because of APDS ammo, and Challenger I lineup due to overall performance. On Pz.Bfw.IV, jeez that is expensive for such useless vehicle. Long time ago I received it for free from some kind of event, for the life of me cannot remember what was the event.
Yeah, I bought the Pz IV Bz thingy when I was fairly new and it was on sale. The slow turret traverse killed me (not a metaphor) and after my experience with the F2 I didn’t really understand why I couldn’t get along with it. I dropped it from my lineup as soon as I unlocked the G. Nice to know it’s not just me. I also don’t like the look of the skirts, although some people do.
I just bought it and really like it in AB tho, 8 times out of 10 you are fighting against 3 3-3.7 br tanks and with 3 panzer IV there is nothing can stop you. The J and the premium one has a better gun and you can one shot even kv1s easily.
@@fomwaag In AB this makes way more sense because your turret drives get boost like engine does. But to be honest, in WT switch from L43 to L48 does not give any meaningful difference, you get +3mm of pen point blank and +10ms shell velocity, that is nothing. But hey if you enjoy playing your prem tank, that is good enough. I enjoy playing my T54E1 from time to time even tho it is complete garbage.
Hello Oxy, I did a bit of reaserch and found out that the "smoke grenades" on the Tiger H1 are actually mine launchers instead of smoke grenades. Fascinating!
Congrats on 20,000, Oxy, you deserve more. And don't worry about video length, I feel like most just watch these videos and forget about the passage of time.
This video is FANTASTIC! I’ve been playing WT since September 2021, long time gamer (Xgen) playing on PS4 and all AB. I was doing okay on American and German trees but struggling with the Tigers. Watched your vid last night and on 2nd/3rd matches this morning I had back to back 3 kills with the H1! Just a dream to play as you directed. What’s more I watched your Rank 1 German tank vid this morning and have been having a blast with the Pz.II C/F and the Sdf. Premium tank. Just having so much fun Thank you so much! I look forward to watching all your WT vids! I prefer yours because you are excellent at voice work! Hope you get some voice work in UK, documentaries or something!
The Hetzer is a BEAST in Conquest mode. Since there's only one cap, you can just point your front armor in the general direction of the enemy, and then it's point and click. You don't have to worry about flanking unless your team overextends or is lagging behind.
Too bad the Ferdinand skin was apparently made by a guy who has no idea of the German language as the sentences written on it are full of dreadful grammar and typos.
these videos are fantastic even if you dont play the country the video is about, its worth learning the strengths and weaknesses of all the vehicles in the game. Best war thunder content creator in my opinion, keep it up, the subscribers will start flooding in more and more as your videos get the attention they deserve.
I've had so much fun spading the Sturer Emil aka a Jumbo Slayer. I know it is technically terrible, but slaughtering Jumbos is just too funny to pass up on lmao. Ironically I had a better time with it than with the Dicker Max
Just came home from a (for me) tough run, showered and changed bedcovers. Now laying in my fresh ass bed with a nicely tired and cleaned body watching a killer WT video. I feel like i'm in nirvana. I'm ready dad.
I started to watch this because, of course I wanted to know your opinion on the Tiger, anyway what blew my mind is how do you don't have a million subscribers! Great videos, informative and very useful! I really hope your channel grows a lot, you deserve it cheers!
Just the fact that you are so humble about your 20k milestone, which is **huge** should get you another 20k subs! Keep up the incredible quality vids mate!!
YES BRAIN HIT ME WITH THAT SWEET OXY DOPAMINE I found out my old 2012 macbook is too crappy to play this game but I still really enjoy these videos. Keep up the quality!
Burnt plays welllll, I was not ready for university the first time around. But now i'm working and spending all my money on this degree, and I have a 3.87 in a double-major statistics/computer science degree. So I really, REALLY don't need more gaming power right now. But you bet your ass the first thing I'm doing with my first paycheck is laying the foundation for a battlestation.
Trust me, if it is to watch great videos like thid most of us won't care about lenght. And it is possible to just listen to the video so you can even watch it while doing other tasks
I only watched now 7:35 long but I can already say: Great Video! + Good microphone quality + Gameplay of each vehicle you discuss in the background + informative + Visual "verdict" (/conclusion) on the screen The length doesn't even matter in this case, because you discuss every German Rank III vehicle and that takes it time. I mean we have all Rank III German vehicles in one video! No need to wait until PhlyDaily or someone else upload an (updated) video about a tank you want to see it's play style... Kind Regards Kolja.Gamer
I'd choose the Sturer over the Nashorn or Dicker every day of the week for one simple reason: It may be doing the same job... It just looks better doing it... Seriously man, that TD is something amazing to look at.
Yea, these reviews will certainly help me with this game, a 7 year or War Thunder account with around 3000hrs clocked into it,... ;) Still really enjoy these videos
Making Oxy happy is a good thing, because Oxy is a nice dude! :D Aaaand this is a fantastic guide! Little addition: the Brummbär in Arcade is a real killing machine! With no aiming troubles and always aiming at the turret ring on heavies, you can basically one-shot every vehicle in the match. Sometimes you fail to hit the right spot but the next round will usually finish the job. When I end up in a 4.0 - 4.7 match I feel sorry for my opponents.
I don't reccomend using Tigers for CQC.They perform far better sniping.It's basically a heavy sniper. You might not agree with me but when you see the inside of the tank using the 'X-ray' tool you will get my point. It will always have an ammorack on the left front corner of the hull (right side if the tiger is facing you) which is easily penetrated even by itself.Bring less ammo,then you will be caught with no ammo left. The Tiger II does the job better though the ammo rack on the Tiger II (P) is as easy to detonate.The (H) is imo the best German HT you could get without spending money.
@@Quantum-Bullet Agreed. But there are 2 problems to this: 1. Not all players have sharp eyes that could see the enemy 1km away and use headsets (or atl good ears) to know when there is a hostile sneaking up. Let alone an Italian car with bushes. That is why i stay in RB for tanks. But for the Tiger,600-700m is good enough. Just wiggle and they mostly bounce off (except if you are at 6.7) 2. Some tanks are less effective when sniping. An example to this is a Maus or E100.They have great CQC potential but just because they are ded slow doesn't mean you should
Don't say sorry for making a great video, your reviews on vehicles per ranks with in-depth analysis like this is a gem. With your great review on each vehicles i definitely have zero problem to hear you talk about it in 2 hour length video. Please do USSR review as well mate, I absolutely appreciate your hard work for making high quality reviews.
*NOTE OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE* : I have spaded and aced the pz4 H and I love it. Yes its armor ain't too useful at its br but the gun still claps and the mobility is ok. This thing claps cheeks if you play it it's a worse light spg with a turret. I love the pz4 line and this is a beauty
something about my experience with the PZIV H is that its an actually significantly better brawler at its BR. its front armor is nearly on the level of a heavy tank. by angleing around a corner, you can really effectively bait shots into your angled front and kill them on their reload. works great in urban environments as you're nearly inpenetrable against russian 76s and american 75s.
If you like the 4H for the gun and have lucky bounces, look no further to Panzer 4F2. It's 3.3, doesn't face jumbos and has the same gun. There's no reason to like any other panzer 4 apart from the F2 varient imo
@@asiftalpur3758 idk why you'd have a problem with a jumbo with the pz4 long gun but ok. Any panzer with that gun is good. Except for the J, we shan't speak of that one
@@GreenStuffConsumer panzer 4 long gun doesn't pen a jumbo at any range, unless you hit that pixel perfect MG port. But I usually work my panzer 4s or any tanks with guns that can't pen jumbo frontally by just flanking. I just wish the 4H had smoke launchers tho. But I generally avoid playing 4.3 German. I'd rather play 5.3, Panzer 4/70V is a hidden Gem, literally the best Armored German TD in game *we shan't talk about 4J, this is the way*
Reasons to consider the He 21 A-7: while it has a BR of 4.3, it sits at tier IV. This thing is a very effective jet grinder, besides also having one of the highest (if not the highest) SL modifiers in the German tech tree. For CAS, it is a budget Me 410/Do 335.
Great content as always! I was really excited to see this vid come up in my feed. German 4.0 - 6.7 is my fav part of GF to play. Can't wait to see the next in the series. Keep it up, amazing work.
you may not have many subscribers but you deserve more for the effort you put into your content. you really care about new players to the game and i respect for that. subscriber earned.
I just CAN'T WAIT for you to come to the French tech tree. really. Tier 4 is basically "well this tank performs incredibly well ! average armor (or no armor at all) but it is really mobile, with an exceptional gun and a very handy autoloader ! the repair cost though makes it impossible to play unless you want to lose money... consider it or avoid it if you're not an experienced player" SO FUN (in other news : this video was really great, as usual)
i love the "no reload" on the Ostwind its a real Pro the Wirbel often hit and dont do samething and mostly when the enemy is realy close you are in a reload. yes Wirbelwind is easyer to use but better is the Ostwind (hard to master) but more rewarding.
The Pz.IV Ausf.H in game has the old cupola,H” variants used a lot of parts interchangeable with late drugs like the flush cupola that doesn’t stand proud of turret roof.Steel return rollers in various styles were also later details from simplified construction and saving rubber.
Great video! Thanks! And wow, how times have changed! Well the premiums have shifted around and gotten cheaper, which is nice, some vehicles have dropped in BR, but most that you go in great detail are still about the same, which is also very helpful. You did also miss covering the BF 110 G, which you have in two of your "best lineups" the 4.0 and 3.7, only reason I mention it is that well it has a 30mm option or 2 20s. I am grinding and spading tier 4 atm, so Stug 3g, 110g-2 (now), wirbel, pz4H, 8.8 Flak, ostwind. 4.3 I can't wait for though, Hetzer, JPZIV, Stuher Emil, Ger Churchill, might add the IVJ, HE 219. I got a 20% off coupon on the PZ 4/70 A, it is at 4.3 but not really sure. That makes it 2300 GE, hard to justify. Kv-2 is at 3.7 and HE has been reworked so for 1750 sounds better, or just playing the tech tree sound fine. Ostwind sounds better as it has a unlimited clip, not sure if they reduced clip size with wirbel but seems pretty short and tough to deal with. The KV 1 C 756 got moved to 5.0 after I bought it in the spring, which makes it really hard to know what to do there, Probably not for 5.3 right? So I just bring my 4.3 in with it? There are no 4.7. Thanks for all this hard work!
I've found that the Sturer Emil can work wonders that I just can't with the Dicker Max. Staying at range really helps it, and the added penetration seems like overkill, but Sherman Jumbos and especially IS-series tanks suddenly stop having armor, compared go the Dicker Max that still struggles against these sometimes.
I love your videos on this I’m a really experienced player who already has all these vehicles but it’s really informative and interesting I love hearing a new interesting perspective on it ❤️
When the Tiger H1 was first added to the game, it had it's original double headlights in addition to those s-mine launchers. For quite some time your gun would get stuck on them. Then Gaijin adjusted the gun to automatically go over them, it was still horrible, so finally they just removed them. I'll gladly take those s-mine launchers in the way as opposed to the way the Tiger used to be. It was borderline broken, but that was years ago.
Hey gaijin, you don't need to fill my 1 hour and 10 minute War Thunder tier III German ground force comprehensive review and analysis compendium video with Warthunder ads. Because maybe, just maybe, I already play your game.
Slight correction, the Panther Ausf D did not have a hydraulic turret traverse like the A or G, it only had the electric drive. The Hydralic drive used power from the engine to assist the turret traverse but it could only reach the maximum speed 24 degrees per second (Ausf A) if the engine was running at full RPM The Panthers in War Thunder have a ton of visual and performance bugs, the only accurate one is the Ersatz M10 because they made a new model for it, most obvious problem is the lower hull on every Panther 1 in WT bar the Ersatz is identical, even down to the armour model, just look at the lower sides of the G and F
Forward launching smoke grenades grant you the ability to build a smoke wall like in some other game that allows you to place a wall on distance. Very damn handy, will miss it on E.
There is a good thing about the D Max and the Sturer Emil, the low armour; and the crew and compartment layout makes it somewhat difficult to one-pen-shot-kill them with lower caliber guns, or at least some guns def struggle with it, especially if its not an HE shell. Mind you this was my experience fighting them as Soviets. (Notably anything below 85mm, but at times even the 85mm fails to one shot kill them)
I despise the wirbelwind - having to reload every few hundred rounds is really annoying, I always use the ostwind as it practically has infinite armour and one hit with a he shell on a plane is enough for a kill
something to note about the Panzer IV H in contrast to the G and F2. though it has higher BR, the high hull armor of 95mm is great for brawling. you can reliably bait shots of greedy T34s by angling the hull around a corner. baiting the shot and killing them on their reload. you'll become hard to penetrate from the front against Russian 76 and American 75s.
The Panther D and G are my favorite Panthers. I hope in the future they add the later Variant of the Panther D with better engine and faster turret traverse. Would also be nice if all if not most of the Garman tanks got a MG on the commander's Cupola.
@@villepore7013 There's a Panther A?!! Who knew?! Ok, sarcasm over no shit sherlock. I am a fan of the Panther D not A in game as well as in real life. You see you would move the Panther D (Early) to 5.3 and have the Panther D (Late) 5.7.
@@wanamawan6249 Why have three or four Panzer IV's or T-34's? Adding more tanks only flushes out tech trees more and adds more to lineups. Why not add more WW2 vehicles? Has Germany gotten any new WW2 tanks in the last two patches? It feels as if Gaijin is so focused on releasing post war tanks and adding half flushed out tech trees. It would be nice if they would add more WW2 vehicles for all the nations. Adding a new Panther D, Marder III, M10, Tiger E, P-47, Bf-109, ETC.
To not make the tank tree not feel lacking. There's really no point in having another panther D when we already have a panther A also, Gemany has enough tanks and it would of have been better if they added more tank's to countries that lack tanks or lack tanks from their BR like France, Italy, Japan and so on.
In my humble opinion, the jagdpanzer IV is one of the absolute best vehicles at its BR. Its incredibly forgiving even in close quarters. It’s my go to vehicle for doing any tasks it can possibly be used for.

I strongly disagree with his view on the PZ4H I used that thing with my Tiger at 5.3 and it was a great late game backup because by that point most of the heavy armor will be gone
1:07:00 the 15mm guns dont use cement core, it's cermet, which is ceramic metal like tungsten carbide.
no one cares people mess up you know if you know a lot why don't you do a video ok. SO SHUT UP!!!!
@@deividasjurevicius6497 god youre a whiny little shit arent you
Oxy, these reviews are invaluable to me, I am a beginner to WT having started 6 months ago and together with the help from your Ultimate beginners guide I have now started to progress up the tank trees, I am just coming up to the top of tier II now,
I hope you will be able to produce similar guides for the Russian and American lines soon too.
Many thanks for taking the time to produce these for us.
"Im bad at spaa"
*obliterates a plane using a tank's main gun instead*
Like me I can't shoot down a plane with SPAA while killing planes with main gun
@@svitrutar9137 That's because like me, I'm willing to bet you're usually shooting with your tanks main gun at an incoming plane at low elevations as it's heading straight for you, whereas with an SPAA, you're usually just spraying the sky hoping to hit something lol.
It’s important and more helpful to wait until the plane gets close. It drives me crazy seeing people going ham on a plane that’s out of range, chances are they won’t hit anything and they’ll end up revealing their location . Be patient and shoot in burst and try to stay concealed. Don’t reveal your location until the enemy is close and don’t have time to react quick enough and you’ll get more kills in spaa
@@jimmyshane3439 Have to agree here. Even in arcade, if you wait till the plane(s) get within 1km/750 yards or so, they're quite easier to hit and kill. If you're playing realistic or simulator, use the test drive and get used to the ranges that make a kill likely. Use the Gunner sight sometimes so you can use the reticle to estimate the range a plane is at, so you know the planes silhouette in the gunners sight for a sloppy range estimate.
Also, if you wait till the plane commits to a dive or bomb drop, you can either get a good hit or force the to abort that attack.
Hang on... why the hell was Sweden added when there are still panzer iV’s without modelled machine gun and drivers ports
More money for Gaijing from new premiums, fixing their game only costs money
Because hull MGs are irrelevant during 99.9% of confrontations in WT. They are far from the priority when there are much more substantial things to add.
2 very different perspectives, lol. Latter actually makes sense, former is just a general "Gaijin is greedy and sucks" comment without much thought put into it.
@@handtomouth4690 the same point, two different ways to write it...
'Cause Gaijin...
"this tank has great depression"
it's crippling depression
especially if you are a sherman
Great job as with all other tech tree reviews. I was surprised to find that I agree with 95% of your opinions. Especially regarding the British, it is way too popular to disregard their 7.3 (to be 7.7 soon) line up because of APDS ammo, and Challenger I lineup due to overall performance.
On Pz.Bfw.IV, jeez that is expensive for such useless vehicle. Long time ago I received it for free from some kind of event, for the life of me cannot remember what was the event.
Yeah, I bought the Pz IV Bz thingy when I was fairly new and it was on sale. The slow turret traverse killed me (not a metaphor) and after my experience with the F2 I didn’t really understand why I couldn’t get along with it. I dropped it from my lineup as soon as I unlocked the G. Nice to know it’s not just me. I also don’t like the look of the skirts, although some people do.
I just bought it and really like it in AB tho, 8 times out of 10 you are fighting against 3 3-3.7 br tanks and with 3 panzer IV there is nothing can stop you. The J and the premium one has a better gun and you can one shot even kv1s easily.
@@fomwaag In AB this makes way more sense because your turret drives get boost like engine does. But to be honest, in WT switch from L43 to L48 does not give any meaningful difference, you get +3mm of pen point blank and +10ms shell velocity, that is nothing. But hey if you enjoy playing your prem tank, that is good enough. I enjoy playing my T54E1 from time to time even tho it is complete garbage.
Hello Oxy, I did a bit of reaserch and found out that the "smoke grenades" on the Tiger H1 are actually mine launchers instead of smoke grenades. Fascinating!
'take it in your pace'.
Ok, will do. In one go. With a lot of going back.
Congrats on 20,000, Oxy, you deserve more.
And don't worry about video length, I feel like most just watch these videos and forget about the passage of time.
New subscriber. This is exactly the video series I wanted for War Thunder. Simple, shows off the tanks abilities, easy to understand. Love it
This video is FANTASTIC! I’ve been playing WT since September 2021, long time gamer (Xgen) playing on PS4 and all AB. I was doing okay on American and German trees but struggling with the Tigers. Watched your vid last night and on 2nd/3rd matches this morning I had back to back 3 kills with the H1! Just a dream to play as you directed.
What’s more I watched your Rank 1 German tank vid this morning and have been having a blast with the Pz.II C/F and the Sdf. Premium tank. Just having so much fun
Thank you so much! I look forward to watching all your WT vids! I prefer yours because you are excellent at voice work! Hope you get some voice work in UK, documentaries or something!
The Hetzer is a BEAST in Conquest mode. Since there's only one cap, you can just point your front armor in the general direction of the enemy, and then it's point and click. You don't have to worry about flanking unless your team overextends or is lagging behind.
It's funny that the Panzer IV H is now 4.0 which makes the J even more irrelevant since you have the superior Version at the same BR
Great choice in skin for the tiger. The ferdinand with the red primer skin and stuff written on it looks just as amazing
Too bad the Ferdinand skin was apparently made by a guy who has no idea of the German language as the sentences written on it are full of dreadful grammar and typos.
@@Leon_der_Luftige Shh, it will look cool when no one can understand it
these videos are fantastic even if you dont play the country the video is about, its worth learning the strengths and weaknesses of all the vehicles in the game. Best war thunder content creator in my opinion, keep it up, the subscribers will start flooding in more and more as your videos get the attention they deserve.
22:50 “Decent”? * *laughs in German Churchill/Kv1b/t-34* *
I've had so much fun spading the Sturer Emil aka a Jumbo Slayer. I know it is technically terrible, but slaughtering Jumbos is just too funny to pass up on lmao. Ironically I had a better time with it than with the Dicker Max
So did I. I don't know why but it just feels good to play the thing.
EDIT: the 128mm gun MAY have something to do with that. Maybe
Same, I had the Emil in my 5.7 lineup and it still was great fun.
Yeah, I was always scared shirtless whenever I face those things at range in a Jumbo
Dicker max is just overhyped, I genuinely think the Sturer is better
@@Callofmuts Dicker Max has a better and memeier name therefore it's 500 time better.
It looks like you're playing on Mars on that desert map holy color shading
TheKoolaidman371 butter vision
The red tiger? Thats the primer they used
Love your content. Quite possibly the most useful and informative content for War Thunder on UA-cam. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Just came home from a (for me) tough run, showered and changed bedcovers. Now laying in my fresh ass bed with a nicely tired and cleaned body watching a killer WT video. I feel like i'm in nirvana.
I'm ready dad.
Hugo GH are you me wtf
I started to watch this because, of course I wanted to know your opinion on the Tiger, anyway what blew my mind is how do you don't have a million subscribers! Great videos, informative and very useful!
I really hope your channel grows a lot, you deserve it cheers!
Out of all WT content creators, you are making one of if not the best guide series
Just the fact that you are so humble about your 20k milestone, which is **huge** should get you another 20k subs! Keep up the incredible quality vids mate!!
YES BRAIN HIT ME WITH THAT SWEET OXY DOPAMINE
I found out my old 2012 macbook is too crappy to play this game but I still really enjoy these videos. Keep up the quality!
get yourself a cheap gaming pc and upgrade it along the way
Burnt plays welllll, I was not ready for university the first time around. But now i'm working and spending all my money on this degree, and I have a 3.87 in a double-major statistics/computer science degree. So I really, REALLY don't need more gaming power right now.
But you bet your ass the first thing I'm doing with my first paycheck is laying the foundation for a battlestation.
Trust me, if it is to watch great videos like thid most of us won't care about lenght. And it is possible to just listen to the video so you can even watch it while doing other tasks
I only watched now 7:35 long but I can already say: Great Video!
+ Good microphone quality
+ Gameplay of each vehicle you discuss in the background
+ informative
+ Visual "verdict" (/conclusion) on the screen
The length doesn't even matter in this case, because you discuss every German Rank III vehicle and that takes it time.
I mean we have all Rank III German vehicles in one video! No need to wait until PhlyDaily or someone else upload an (updated) video about a tank you want to see it's play style...
Kind Regards
Kolja.Gamer
I'd choose the Sturer over the Nashorn or Dicker every day of the week for one simple reason: It may be doing the same job... It just looks better doing it...
Seriously man, that TD is something amazing to look at.
Virgin function vs chad form
Yea, these reviews will certainly help me with this game, a 7 year or War Thunder account with around 3000hrs clocked into it,... ;)
Still really enjoy these videos
7:14 "Oh god of fuck NOO DON'T MOVE UP"
Making Oxy happy is a good thing, because Oxy is a nice dude! :D Aaaand this is a fantastic guide!
Little addition: the Brummbär in Arcade is a real killing machine! With no aiming troubles and always aiming at the turret ring on heavies, you can basically one-shot every vehicle in the match. Sometimes you fail to hit the right spot but the next round will usually finish the job. When I end up in a 4.0 - 4.7 match I feel sorry for my opponents.
Meanwhile in a 6.7 battle
Me: angles Tiger 1 armor perfectly
Enemy tanks with 200mm+ penetration: Goes through and 1shots anyway...
Well, in RL the first real counter to tiger appeared in 1944, so.....
Just fight Tiger II or even ATGMs from 1950s.
I don't reccomend using Tigers for CQC.They perform far better sniping.It's basically a heavy sniper.
You might not agree with me but when you see the inside of the tank using the 'X-ray' tool you will get my point.
It will always have an ammorack on the left front corner of the hull (right side if the tiger is facing you) which is easily penetrated even by itself.Bring less ammo,then you will be caught with no ammo left.
The Tiger II does the job better though the ammo rack on the Tiger II (P) is as easy to detonate.The (H) is imo the best German HT you could get without spending money.
@@vortex6818 isn't every tank better at surviving when its sniping from a far, shooting first?
@@Quantum-Bullet
Agreed. But there are 2 problems to this:
1. Not all players have sharp eyes that could see the enemy 1km away and use headsets (or atl good ears) to know when there is a hostile sneaking up. Let alone an Italian car with bushes. That is why i stay in RB for tanks. But for the Tiger,600-700m is good enough. Just wiggle and they mostly bounce off (except if you are at 6.7)
2. Some tanks are less effective when sniping. An example to this is a Maus or E100.They have great CQC potential but just because they are ded slow doesn't mean you should
Don't say sorry for making a great video, your reviews on vehicles per ranks with in-depth analysis like this is a gem. With your great review on each vehicles i definitely have zero problem to hear you talk about it in 2 hour length video. Please do USSR review as well mate, I absolutely appreciate your hard work for making high quality reviews.
Another great video oxy, very helpful too as I’m trying to unlock German tier 3
excellent, I really enjoyed that.it was nice to sit and relax with a cuppa and chill out for a while, cheers.
*NOTE OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE* : I have spaded and aced the pz4 H and I love it. Yes its armor ain't too useful at its br but the gun still claps and the mobility is ok. This thing claps cheeks if you play it it's a worse light spg with a turret. I love the pz4 line and this is a beauty
something about my experience with the PZIV H is that its an actually significantly better brawler at its BR. its front armor is nearly on the level of a heavy tank. by angleing around a corner, you can really effectively bait shots into your angled front and kill them on their reload. works great in urban environments as you're nearly inpenetrable against russian 76s and american 75s.
@@Yung_pindakaas no one expects the crouching panzer in the river
If you like the 4H for the gun and have lucky bounces, look no further to Panzer 4F2. It's 3.3, doesn't face jumbos and has the same gun. There's no reason to like any other panzer 4 apart from the F2 varient imo
@@asiftalpur3758 idk why you'd have a problem with a jumbo with the pz4 long gun but ok. Any panzer with that gun is good. Except for the J, we shan't speak of that one
@@GreenStuffConsumer panzer 4 long gun doesn't pen a jumbo at any range, unless you hit that pixel perfect MG port. But I usually work my panzer 4s or any tanks with guns that can't pen jumbo frontally by just flanking. I just wish the 4H had smoke launchers tho. But I generally avoid playing 4.3 German. I'd rather play 5.3, Panzer 4/70V is a hidden Gem, literally the best Armored German TD in game
*we shan't talk about 4J, this is the way*
The quality of your work is simply stunning. Tank you very much.
Reasons to consider the He 21 A-7: while it has a BR of 4.3, it sits at tier IV.
This thing is a very effective jet grinder, besides also having one of the highest (if not the highest) SL modifiers in the German tech tree.
For CAS, it is a budget Me 410/Do 335.
Great content as always! I was really excited to see this vid come up in my feed. German 4.0 - 6.7 is my fav part of GF to play. Can't wait to see the next in the series. Keep it up, amazing work.
Never expected the random comedy about coffee and redbull, almost spat all over my screen
you may not have many subscribers but you deserve more for the effort you put into your content. you really care about new players to the game and i respect for that. subscriber earned.
I decided! THIS is the best WT channel on the Tube.
I just CAN'T WAIT for you to come to the French tech tree. really.
Tier 4 is basically "well this tank performs incredibly well ! average armor (or no armor at all) but it is really mobile, with an exceptional gun and a very handy autoloader ! the repair cost though makes it impossible to play unless you want to lose money... consider it or avoid it if you're not an experienced player"
SO FUN
(in other news : this video was really great, as usual)
i love the "no reload" on the Ostwind its a real Pro the Wirbel often hit and dont do samething and mostly when the enemy is realy close you are in a reload. yes Wirbelwind is easyer to use but better is the Ostwind (hard to master) but more rewarding.
it was posted when i started grinding germany as a starter player
took 3 years but im here
thank you as I am using the Tiger 1 this is very helpful for me knowing how to use my tank as it should be. Much appreciated.
The Pz.IV Ausf.H in game has the old cupola,H” variants used a lot of parts interchangeable with late drugs like the flush cupola that doesn’t stand proud of turret roof.Steel return rollers in various styles were also later details from simplified construction and saving rubber.
Congrats on 20K
kv1c 756, i always downteir with it, it bounces everything shot at it, it 1 shots almost everything at its br, and it is a really good agressive tank
Great video! Thanks! And wow, how times have changed! Well the premiums have shifted around and gotten cheaper, which is nice, some vehicles have dropped in BR, but most that you go in great detail are still about the same, which is also very helpful. You did also miss covering the BF 110 G, which you have in two of your "best lineups" the 4.0 and 3.7, only reason I mention it is that well it has a 30mm option or 2 20s.
I am grinding and spading tier 4 atm, so Stug 3g, 110g-2 (now), wirbel, pz4H, 8.8 Flak, ostwind.
4.3 I can't wait for though, Hetzer, JPZIV, Stuher Emil, Ger Churchill, might add the IVJ, HE 219. I got a 20% off coupon on the PZ 4/70 A, it is at 4.3 but not really sure. That makes it 2300 GE, hard to justify. Kv-2 is at 3.7 and HE has been reworked so for 1750 sounds better, or just playing the tech tree sound fine.
Ostwind sounds better as it has a unlimited clip, not sure if they reduced clip size with wirbel but seems pretty short and tough to deal with.
The KV 1 C 756 got moved to 5.0 after I bought it in the spring, which makes it really hard to know what to do there, Probably not for 5.3 right? So I just bring my 4.3 in with it? There are no 4.7.
Thanks for all this hard work!
Agree, this series is gold! Thanks!
Well done Oxy, good video as always. Congrats on the 20K subs.
20:30 Cheese desert
Great video👍
Looking forward to rank IV evaluation.
Thanks
57:19 dat face tho
Awesome and high quality production!!! Thanks!!
Brilliant video Oxy thanks for your efforts with these great posts!
I've found that the Sturer Emil can work wonders that I just can't with the Dicker Max. Staying at range really helps it, and the added penetration seems like overkill, but Sherman Jumbos and especially IS-series tanks suddenly stop having armor, compared go the Dicker Max that still struggles against these sometimes.
I recently found you're channel 2 weeks ago and thanks to you decided to play war thunder again :) .
I havent played war thunder since 2017.
Man your videos are top notch quality. I like them even before watching
I love your videos on this I’m a really experienced player who already has all these vehicles but it’s really informative and interesting I love hearing a new interesting perspective on it ❤️
thank you for making these. must be a pain in the ass to put together but well worth it. very cool.
When the Tiger H1 was first added to the game, it had it's original double headlights in addition to those s-mine launchers. For quite some time your gun would get stuck on them. Then Gaijin adjusted the gun to automatically go over them, it was still horrible, so finally they just removed them. I'll gladly take those s-mine launchers in the way as opposed to the way the Tiger used to be. It was borderline broken, but that was years ago.
How come around 10:20 when playing on Sands of Sinai, the air seems so much clearer than whenever I play it, no dust storms or fog of war at all.
Love your reviews they are very interesting and more importantly help me to learn more about even vehicles i don't come across often
Hey gaijin, you don't need to fill my 1 hour and 10 minute War Thunder tier III German ground force comprehensive review and analysis compendium video with Warthunder ads. Because maybe, just maybe, I already play your game.
This is very helpful! Especially the lineup recommendation
Grats on 20K.
The thicker frontal armor of the Sturer Emil can actually allow you to bounce some shells
Fantastic content and insight again - thank you!
Lol i just finished you t2 guide then as soon as i finished you posted this video. Never change oxy
Slight correction, the Panther Ausf D did not have a hydraulic turret traverse like the A or G, it only had the electric drive.
The Hydralic drive used power from the engine to assist the turret traverse but it could only reach the maximum speed 24 degrees per second (Ausf A) if the engine was running at full RPM
The Panthers in War Thunder have a ton of visual and performance bugs, the only accurate one is the Ersatz M10 because they made a new model for it, most obvious problem is the lower hull on every Panther 1 in WT bar the Ersatz is identical, even down to the armour model, just look at the lower sides of the G and F
Cheeky little kekw you put in the KV-2 clip xD very fitting tho
Congrats on reaching 20k 🍻
Forward launching smoke grenades grant you the ability to build a smoke wall like in some other game that allows you to place a wall on distance. Very damn handy, will miss it on E.
Aweeesooome! 1:10, fuck yeah
You're doing great, keep going. It's useful to pretty much all WT players. :)
There is a good thing about the D Max and the Sturer Emil, the low armour; and the crew and compartment layout makes it somewhat difficult to one-pen-shot-kill them with lower caliber guns, or at least some guns def struggle with it, especially if its not an HE shell. Mind you this was my experience fighting them as Soviets. (Notably anything below 85mm, but at times even the 85mm fails to one shot kill them)
Another great guide thx your guides have helped so much.
Love this series of videos. Don’t worry about the length. It’s the info we want. 😁
I despise the wirbelwind - having to reload every few hundred rounds is really annoying, I always use the ostwind as it practically has infinite armour and one hit with a he shell on a plane is enough for a kill
Very good series, maybe even best one I have seen so far! Please consider a similar one for planes.
These are really great informational videos
something to note about the Panzer IV H in contrast to the G and F2. though it has higher BR, the high hull armor of 95mm is great for brawling. you can reliably bait shots of greedy T34s by angling the hull around a corner. baiting the shot and killing them on their reload. you'll become hard to penetrate from the front against Russian 76 and American 75s.
Grats on 20k!
The Panther D and G are my favorite Panthers. I hope in the future they add the later Variant of the Panther D with better engine and faster turret traverse. Would also be nice if all if not most of the Garman tanks got a MG on the commander's Cupola.
The better panther d is in the game. It's called panther a and is at the same br as the d model. If you have the g model you should know that.
@@villepore7013 There's a Panther A?!! Who knew?! Ok, sarcasm over no shit sherlock. I am a fan of the Panther D not A in game as well as in real life. You see you would move the Panther D (Early) to 5.3 and have the Panther D (Late) 5.7.
Why need a panther d with improved mobility and turret traverse when we have the panther A
@@wanamawan6249 Why have three or four Panzer IV's or T-34's? Adding more tanks only flushes out tech trees more and adds more to lineups. Why not add more WW2 vehicles? Has Germany gotten any new WW2 tanks in the last two patches? It feels as if Gaijin is so focused on releasing post war tanks and adding half flushed out tech trees. It would be nice if they would add more WW2 vehicles for all the nations. Adding a new Panther D, Marder III, M10, Tiger E, P-47, Bf-109, ETC.
To not make the tank tree not feel lacking. There's really no point in having another panther D when we already have a panther A also, Gemany has enough tanks and it would of have been better if they added more tank's to countries that lack tanks or lack tanks from their BR like France, Italy, Japan and so on.
In my humble opinion, the jagdpanzer IV is one of the absolute best vehicles at its BR. Its incredibly forgiving even in close quarters. It’s my go to vehicle for doing any tasks it can possibly be used for.
Very informative and useful. Can I suggest you to show BR also with the name of the tank? I think it'll be very useful. Thanks for the review!
Great vids. Best thing on the channel
