I would love it if War thunder started diverging into the weird slapped together vehicles. I wanna see the willies jeep with the 2 bazookas attached to it. Or the anti tank vespa.
Jeep with bazooka, jeep with a 50 cal. Jeep with a 105mm recoiless rifle. Come on war thunder. Jeep with a davy Crockett nuclear armed recoiless rifle. Jeep with pair of 7.6 brownings on the back for br1 aa. British jeep in desert patrol garb with 4 aircraft machine guns and incidiary explosive ammo.
Day 76: 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 can't wait to get this when I go back to grinding the British tree. It just looks like as if 3 dads wanted to go on a golfing trip just to take a break from their families, found themselves in a warzone and proceeded to mod a golf cart to try and escape. I'd watch that movie
it doesn't sound as good as when it was first released that was awesome sounding then they changed it for some reason but it was better when first released.
Ystervark: aaaay-ster-faaark. Next we need an olifant(elephant) main battle tank and the g6 renoster(rhino) a self propelled 155mm howitzer and maybe even a Ratel Ifv. Much love from South Africa phly🤟
War Thunder has 2 Olifant MBTs (MK1A and MK1B) and 3 Ratels (90, 20 and ATGM carrier). As well as an Eland 90. And like 4 Rooikats (76, 105, MTTD, and SPAA). And also the Loggim Prototype MBT.
SA has alwasy valued mobility over protection. large open area's of land or savana open manovering the enemy of paramount. SA used this tactic to great effect in the Ahgolan wars where out APC like the ratel 90 took out enemy T55 tanks.
At 4:15, I think the good suspension has less to do with 'gameplay first' but actually more to do with the capabilities of the vehicle. Just taking a look at the Casspir MRAP and other V-Shaped hull vehicles developed at the time for the SADF, generally speaking, the South Africa's had really good suspension in real life.
Heck yes! My dad used to be involved with 'the ejection seat thrusters' for these when he worked at PMP which is now Denel. I never got the joke till I grew much older.
No it isn't. This is based on the SAMIL 20 chassis, by way of the Bulldog and Rhino APC. These were designed to replace the Unimog-based Buffel APC to ensure compatibility with the rest of the SAMIL based inventory. The Ystervark was basically the Rhino/Bulldog with the rear crew cab removed to give proper cross country mobility to a basic 20mm AA system pending the introduction of the far more sophisticated Rookat SPAAG.
My personal friend who fought in Angola during our 23 year war 1966-1990 actually shot down a Russian Mig 29 during the South African Border War using this Ystervark as he was a gunner on the Ystervark and all our SADF vehicles had plenty combat experience and all of our vehicles were designed to handle any landmine combat proven over and over again so you might talk from your opinion I got my info first hand from the real deal Ystervark gunner He told me that thing kicks ass 👊🏼💥😂
Ye apparently the south african air force has all the popular british planes +others so it would actually be a good tech tree (and can i talk about vrukies hand cranks by the way?)
@@hollow_tae1016 in South African airforce had buccaneers, mirage 3, mirage f1, macchi mb 326 and cheetah (based on isreali kfir but it's modified to our spec) and lastly the Gripen. Wouldn't be good enough to have own air trees unfortunately.
@@NCSiebertdesign i was talking about low tier but now that you said that it kinda does make sense because in SA the military has the lowest budgets +debt so i guess we dont have the latest aircraft because we are short of funds or that the government doesnt think that our country will fight in any more wars
I got a talisman in a battle trophy for the javelin, my first free talisman in at least 4 or 5 years. So of course I had to spade it, and I actually had fun. Firestreaks at 8.3 are very strong.
Greetings Phly Community! Thumbs up if you want Phly to react to the following vehicles and see what is really crazy! -OTO Gorgona R2.5 -Ferrari F333E "Lizard" -Vespa 150 TAP -Standard Beaverette -T-42 Superheavy Tank -Saint Chammond tank -The Praying Mantis tank -Tricycle Tank, Mine Exploder T10 -Firefighting Tank, Hurricane T-55 -Ball Tank, Kugelpanzer -Garford-Putilov Armored Car -Austin Armored Car -Büssing A5P -Jeffery Armored Car No.1 -Armored Quadricycle Let's make these known to the community!
I love how the third guy (with the beret), I want to call him Dirk or Piet, is totally chilled even though he's very exposed and has nothing to do 90% of the time.
See also the "Kwe-Voel" and the "Buffel" troop carrier. Both were based on Unimog chassis and delivered insane offroad capability. Designed with height to traverse grassland and savannah. V shape hulls were for mine protection. Troops in the Buffel would be quite sick from the movement when driven with anger.
Day 184: Of asking phly the play the dicker max because it’s 105 is basically cheating at is br and it can survive and they also recently moved it down to 3.7
yea that thing is most deff hacks lmfao pens 99% of anything u shoot, stands well to upteirs, has that stupid op depression, fast relaod, cant take a hit, and is quite quick
Back when I used the R3 T20 shockingly as a SPAA, I always aligned myself to fire forward or backwards to mitigate the recoil on the chassis. The YSTERVARK is a silly mess and the closest thing we have to a Bob Semple.
When it comes time to turn swords into plow sheers, pop off the gun, slap on a bright green paint and a JOHN DEERE sticker, and walla. ready for farming! lol.
Just translate it directly. Call it Iron Pig. Porcupine doesn't hold the same weight and feel beind the intention they had when naming of this thing. South Africans that know the joke will appreciate it.
Made to resist mines and made from mostly unimogs but redesigned from the ground up and most of all SA military vehicles are wheeled vehicles because wheels are faster to change then tracks and also its faster lighter and can be used for multipurpose use
23:29 Doesn't look stupid at all, it looks practical. V hull design to deflect mine energy and shrapnel? Engine air-gapped from driver compartment, so no need for firewall? Light? Manoeuvrable? Gun crew is exposed, but their situational awareness is very high and escape from vehicle would be very fast? Looks great!
It’s too adorable for me to even care for it’s stats, looks incredibly silly and looks like it’s mixed with an ATV and some construction vehicle. For some reason it reminds me of a golf cart.
Looks a bit odd next to more "classic" vehicles, but what a handsome tractor it is regardless! # 241 - Take the duck to the pond. (Hs.129 b-3 in naval battles)
Love from south africa❤ Ystervark is Afrikaans for porcupine for those who didn't know. Pronunciation is ay-stir-farck but the a-sound in "vark" doesn't actually exist in english and the r-sound is made by rolling your tongue alot more than the English one, but that is the closest that I could get it for you😅 Fun fact: yster-vark actually translates to iron-pig directly.
I use to be a gunner on one of those thing. They were freaking fast and fun. How I miss those days in 10 Anti Aircraft Regiment South African National Defense Force...
can we just appreciate how fast the gunner is cranking that thing
He cranks the devil out of it.
Tbh I think it was like that because his crew is maxed out so it's faster and probably makes animations get gaijined
He's been single for a while, definitely been practicing his "cranking" :P

Few months ago saw Toyota techie with DIY Grad on it
Its would be rly nice,i can just think ppl making the indestructible top gear toyota, and racing it.
Don’t forget the infamous dual ZU23mm’s
We all know a twin soviet era AA autocannon Hilux would dominate
It might be better wishing for a Hilux or Tacoma, since they actually have beds 😉
My girlfriend (she's South African) said:
"it's pronounced ay-stir-far-k, but like the end is like one word, kinda like fork but with an A. Also the name means porcupine :)"

Thanks Phly , those horrifying cracks will stay in my head rent free for some time
Play Happy Wheels for more.

I can see it now
"Front Line Putt"
Was kinda like a movie like that where dude got drafted they where truckers that got ambushed then escaped with dune buggies
The wyvern's engine still sounds so good after all these years.
it doesn't sound as good as when it was first released that was awesome sounding then they changed it for some reason but it was better when first released.
And the guns
Ystervark: aaaay-ster-faaark.

It is an actuall vehicle that existed. It is build on a samag 20 (RSA cal it SAMIL 20) chassy, it is mine protected and got great off road capability

Based on the Buffel - the first dedicated MRAP. It'll eat a tank mine if the sides are up.

Same lmao
Its built on the Buffel chasis, and is crazy
