A small number of production T18E2 were actually delivered and used in the North African campaign so they could just make it a GE premium vehicle in the British tree. But then they would have to fix its incredible OPness.
I remember when this first came out and it was actually really fast. I had a blast with it back then, maybe I’ll try it again even if it didn’t get the wheeled buff.
To put it into perspective: with the Gaijin's penetration calculator this 57mm gun now has about the same penetration (122mm/0°) as the US 76mm gun had historically (128mm/0°).
Thanks for dealing with so much computer trouble for us. Glad you didn’t let it annoy you into slowing down the channel or anything. Your videos really help me keep my learning curve in WT, which I can’t express enough how much you help my strategies match to match.
The armored car that's actually ... "armored"! Still have "free repairs" on mine, and I don't even remember this event, but I know that this was the only reward I managed to get from it (and some decor guns).
The thing I like about playing Britain is it taught me how and where to aim, as one-shotting tanks is about hitting the ammo not the crew on big tanks like the Tiger or Panther. The Panzer 4 you can actually one-shot straight through the drivers plate middle and kill all the crew but through the side you have to hit the ammo, which the Sarc and Achilles taught me how to hit reliably. And then Russia is fuel targeting…
My issue is you can shoot a PzIV through the driver hatch and kill the entire crew one shot, then hit the exact same spot on the next PzIV and only slightly damage the driver. Same for ammo racks. A couple matches ago I hit Panther in the ammo side-on with a 17pndr sabot and it barely yellowed it. Next shot, exact same place, ammo racked it. I've been killed so often in Brit tanks b/c of that inconsistency. Solid shot just isn't modelled correctly and until it is, any gun using it will be pure suffering.
After a little bit of research, they did mount a panzer 4 turret to a panzer 3 hull. Not sure if it went anywhere though Post edit after a little more digging, I don’t see any evidence of them actually being built, there were blueprints for it though
Just finished binge watching every video on this channel,from the very first video released to this one. And it was a fun journey that got me into War Thunder. But now I have no more videos to watch while also being an atypical German main, thus I suffer.
The Atomic Heart thing was just an April Fools thing. So there's nothing coming (unless it comes in the next April Fools event). And the Turkish pack was discounted in Turkey and you could get it for 700 TRY (equals to 35 bucks which is great value). And we got local pricing which is huuuge because we couldn't get anything and had to grind events to get vehicles to sell on the marketplace.
Think this vehicle is actually op. 122mm of pen with APHE, 3 second reload, decent armor and mobility and stabilized… I’m surprised it’s still 3.0. It would honestly do just fine at 4.0 as well.
I actually got this tank a few months ago out of a crate and have yet to play it. Now I'm gonna have to try it out. I also got the Japanese Tiger Tank from a crate as well last week which was funny because I watched your video on it. I got a nuke with it after 5 games.
This tank is literally the American puma! 3.0, scouting light tank, wheely, decent gun, gun caliber, HMG resistant frontal armor, trolly mantlet. Video was oddly (;P) enjoyable as always.
I'm so happy I own all the vehicles from the event the boarhound came from. The boarhound, Lorraine 155 and the Tandem as well as the whirlwind p9 are always a joy to bring out.
Gaijin: 60mm of pen for the 20mm HVAP rounds? nah, that's too much, nerf it to 40. Also Gaijin: 60mm of pen on 15mm HMG rounds is definitely a needed buff.
This is the most disgusting low tier vehicle man . I was with my 2.3-2.7 tanks against it. Dude had like 20+ kills with no death when finally somebody killed him. Pretty much a cheat code. :D
This being one of the only vehicles with the M1 makes me want it very much. My favourite tank at the moment is the Aec mk.2 and this would play very similarly. Hope it either comes down in price or returns in some form
Ever have such a big comeback that you’re the only tank doing something, and the rest of your team is dead or planes, and you still win? (Happened to me once, I was an SPAA)
Sadly, the T18E2 was the apex of it's development, with the earlier versions using a far more inferior 37mm and a grand total of 30 production vehicles were made (27 for a mostly cancelled British order, 3 US). Likewise, the M1 US-6 pounder gun didn't make it on to many vehicles- most of them were towed antitank guns. It wasn't even expected to be used, meaning US M1's didn't have anything but AP rounds for most of the war and didn't get their own HE until mid-1944, and never got APDS (other than ammo gotten from the British) or APCR. That being said, this thing legit could end up on the British tree since it actually saw combat use there.
I've been sporting the swedish PVKV II and man o man, is it hard to have fun with that tank, especially when you dont have APHE and are forced to use solid shot to start. and with a big ol 12 second reload, its an absolute pain.
yup, this thing was slow rite from the rip it never got much of anything done to it. But it's still faster than a lot of tanks in its range. But a Stabilizer is great on this to have, it's a nice advantage.
British 6pdr should have access to both APCBC-HE and APDS the first they bought directly from the US while the later was developed in the UK and at least issued to towed 6pdr units
the guns are the same except the early 6 pounders were 43 caliber guns where as the American built version the M1 57mm had the later added and longer 50 caliber gun.
I won one of these things in a silver lion gamble crate. I have like a 4kd in it. This thing is amazing! Even if it is slow. It’s in all my line ups all the way to 5.0 br
Panzer iv mini tiger? Odd, when the panzer 4 H used to have its 85mm of armour, get the +20mm track armour upgrade and you literally have a mini tiger at 4.3/4.0 XD
I've seen exactly one of these as a corpse that I remember in over 1k hours. I've always wanted to play it but I know I'll never get too and it makes me sad.
The Boarhound was made by the US Army for Britain and was made to British specification by them. An order for 2500 was made, however high production costs and poor cross country performance meant only 27 were made. Why this thing isn't in the British Tech Tree is a travesty.
I love weird wheeled tanks (armoured cars), I really wish they added more to the game. Also, great job in those matches, this tank seems like a ton of fun!
i played this during the event i love this thing it was one of the vehicles i got in the very first events i took part in, we need more wheeled vehicles in game
Wait is this the very rare and super expensive tank we don't own? The one that is so rare it would make museums shiver like a shitting dog!? THAT super expensive and super rare vehicle? (the one we can't afford)
Oh glorious Oddbawz! Oh mighty Oddbawz, the SU-57B is in the garage waiting for the day you take it out into the sunshine again to send some takns back to their makers! Day20
How long does it take for the kv-1e to regain its power through armor cus I’ve only had one 30 sec encounter without being one shot out of 75 battles and I want to know if I can ever really use it effectively
Yeah, I have no idea why Gaijin is so stingy on re-releasing all those old event vehicles. I mean, War Thunder is bigger now that it ever. But alot of people are basically punished for being new players. IE, good luck getting your hands on that event Tiger I for anything less than 150 bucks. Or the Surblind. That thing is just as rare as the E100. Why? Cuz the Gaijin market. Seriously Gaijin, give old players and new players a chance to get old event tanks.
Pz IV can literally be killed frotaly by 1.0's, because that turret armor is just *skull emote* i've killed so many with the new 2C just because the turret armor is so thin lol.
Can i know the headsets you use and how your volume is configured please, because i think mine its messed up i hear everything like if it was in 1 single spot
Such a bummer that gajjin feels the need to make some of the best tanks in the game only available to a select few people, I’ve always wanted the IS7 but don’t feel like spending 3k+ USD on a virtual tank…
It's been a long time since you last played this thing, but the Chi-Nu II is a recent purchase of mine and I just can't find the sweet spot for the thing. Maybe it just isn't comfortable at 4.3? Would be neat to see you play it again and give it a whirl in it's new tier!

I wish more of these event/prem vehicles were in the tech tree. Would make it much more varied
I wish that every new event vehicle had a tech tree counterpart. The event version could have decorations and a premium bonus
Yeah i was looking at US 3.0 since they moved 105 up and sb2c down to it and....that's it, there's no other ground options at 3.0.
It's designed to make people pay for battlepass levels and GE, the balance of the game isn't a concern for the devs

Really wish this was more available in War Thunder. Even as a CC I was denied to even try this thing out. Looks hella fun though!

Ehh mobility isn't as good
Don't you dare talk about my Chaffee like that.
