You know what they say Give a man a tank, he will have fun for a day Give a man the same tank but at lower br, he will kill all the enemy team because war thunder has zero balance
Odd! You should start a series titled something like “the end of suffering” or something like that where you showcase powerful lineups for Germany and advice on how to play them. We need your help to make German players better before the Tiger II drops to 4.7
Naa, we're working to get everything in the German tree dropped to reserve tier. That way we can enjoy the rest of the ranks whilst the German players complain that the reserves are OP and keep killing their leopard 2's.
All fun and gigles aside... Your intro with the ME262 showed why most aviation switched from machine guns, even .50BMG to 20mm or bigger. You need that explosion on impact/inside the other plane or shrapnel. It makes all the difference. Love your vids...
I mean they do, but certainly not in the vehicle department lol their "suffering" comes from less than intelligent players who usually rush headfirst into the enemy thinking they're invincible. But in terms of actual vehicles, germany has some of, if not the, best vehicles across most brs
@@destroyerarmor2846 that may be true, but more often than not the german teams in war thunder rush just rush in and die. True blitzkrieg was about breaking through the enemy's forward line and encircling them before they could react. I think most german players in WT are missing a couple steps in that strategy lol
Speaking of, I've had the same reload bug if I lose my gunner but not my breach or loader. That one is the one that confused me; the loader and breach are fine, keep loading while I get a gunner back
I just love matches like the last one and I dont think you give yourself enough credit. Look how many enemies you took out on that hill and your plane. Btw I think you guys owe that guy with the wirbelwind a lot of thanks for helping take out a lot of planes at the end. You fellas all did great and what a pleasure it was to watch. Thanks Odd take care bro
M48A2 C is such a lovely tank, many a found memories from back when I was grinding through it. one of those I now and then wanna go back and play, but often find my self too busy grinding other stuff. as for its BR, yeah it should probably be 7.3 this coming from a guy that could be considered a german main. (maggie map comment edit, yeah your location is not a bad call, but there is a danger to get sniped from the enemy force who went sniper up at the hill over looking C) (japan comment edit, even though I know you have a certain negative bias against people who play germany alot, I implore you to stop, like I always try to team-work, there are dummies in all nations.) also MO´POWA BABY!
Yo Odd!! I didn’t know you made this kind of video but the post game analysis was actually super sick, interesting and helpful to me as an intermediate player!! So cool to see your thought process!!
I bought this yesterday as it just turned to 8.0....I am relatively new to the game and it's pretty frustrating to play this tank. Seeing you utilize it definitely gave me some pointers. Thank you!
The falcon thing is legit. I have been taking it into my British 8.3 and seriously I usually get more kills with it than with any of my tanks. Not to mention that it fires so fast that you can still do well against jets even without radar.
It is possible to hull break the Ratel's however, I hull broke one with an HVAR that was an engine shot so maybe its not super common for HEATFS to hull break them.
Ha ha ha, " it's hard for me to have the same excitement as I had before " sorry but that statement cracked me up, I'm going to be smiling at that all day, thank you , absolutely love your video's, watch them every day, the post commentary was fine, I think it added to the video, great job as always
This thing is the most op vehicle in the game IMO - better than the centurion mk10 in every way except the stabiliser AT 7.0, without the stupidly high repair costs
The M48 was the back then most modern, high-tech US tank which Germany bought from 1956 on and immediately modified it with superior german WWII technology 😆
I wouldn't do it for every video. But a post commentary video every now and then would be cool. You seem to go in better detail on your thoughts and strategy
It's gonna bug me if I don't say it, but it is not a laser rangefinder. It is a stereoscopic rangefinder like the one on the Panther F (Schmalturm boi).
@@xxxhentaiqueenxxx9809 what I bad about it I mean I takes a little skill but it’s really good once your in a spot it’s crazy it goes through t34s like nothing, kv1s like nothing, Sherman’s like nothing, and it has like a 5 second reload
Maus is actually a pretty decent tank if used right. Still laughable that gaijin used the excuse "it's too hard to balance" when even at that time there where so many unbalanced vehicles that the maus was the least of peoples issues.
I feel like it's odd that I use spacebar for my free look... It means I can still use all my control keys as i use my thumb to free look. Using C for me meant I couldn't use the D key in air or ground battles
You mentioned the bomb almost flipping you. I had my German M41 do a double-backflip tonight. Large bomb landed on the other side of a Tiger 2 that I was helping to repair and he took the shrapnel for me. With the hill going downhill behind me, the blast flipped me twice and i landed on my now yellow tracks, otherwise perfectly okay.
Hello OddbawZ, that was very interesting. Explanations about yours tactics/strategy and others considerations are so usefull that i wonder if i prefer post commentary or live one... Hum. I would say BOTH! Keep up and thanks for your works!
Hey Odd, just wanted to let you know that the post commentary may not be ideal, but it is definitely cool to have explanation of your tactics and strategies
I always do the same thing on maginot, when it works, it really works. I still donät get why people don't like maginot given it has areas for literally any gameplaystyle you prefer.
Maginot is one of my favourite maps above br 6.0. As you say it's got something for everyone. It really sucks at low br though, just takes too long to get anywhere.
I'm excited to use my Marder A1, Leopard 1 and my M48A2 C all together. I'm on my way to grind German air to use for attacking. Atm, I'm using the Almighty Duck. Funny enough, planes at time think I'm worthless and then I blow them up with my 75mm gun.
I think all of those radar guided spaa like the gepard should start at 8.3. These things can literally front pen the M1A1 Abrams at any range and 1-shot it, not to mention being some of the only fully stabilized vehicles. Look at the jets that are at 8.0... it's slow and bulky jets like the F2H Banshee and similar aircraft, definitely not warranting the use of perfectly accurate laser rounds. Also, comparatively to the M163, they are all better at the same br.
Yanno the after-action commentary can be just as good. It's less emotionally exciting, but it's more analytical and gives us more insight into how to play the game as effectively as possible. Not that you don't try to do that with in-game commentary, but understandably you're kind of distracted while doing the latter. ;p
I honestly thought the fact that you can’t load when your breech is out was intended. That would make sens, and separate canon out and breach damage : - if canon barrel is out, you can still load - if breach is out, then you can’t reload. That would be interesting, though quite frustrating
Asalamu Aleikum. Hello,brothers and sisters. Hi Odd! I did notice the breech repair bug when you repair your breech but you CAN load shells but the circle stays red ,what i did have several times now is having a 2 sec reload or something like the auto reload in test. Would be nice if it happened 1 time(just 1 time,lol) in my Object 120.... Party time! 😂 I am going to buy the Tiger Pack aswell. I bought the German Starter Pack with the evil 20 mm(do it! for 3€ you get the most hated and loved 20mm in low tier,apart from Wirbelwind,this is nr.2 on the list of OVERPOWERED MURDEROUS AA.) and the Tiger Pack with the Tiger 2 Sla,M48,Gr.91 and the Tiger helicopter for 65€.A very very good deal if you ask me.One vehicle alone in that list is 40€ or more.... See you on the battlefield,brothers and sisters! Have a nice weekend,fam. Insjallah.
You know what they say
Give a man a tank, he will have fun for a day
Give a man the same tank but at lower br, he will kill all the enemy team because war thunder has zero balance
Wise words
Brilliant
This is the true words from a true Wise War Thunder player.
You know what they say
Give the US 7 cas jets a patch they’ll still complain
this is my favorite tank in the german lineup I thing that it is better than the Leo because you have armor
Day 8 of telling Odd his daily uploads are appreciated
Must say, I agree, post commentary isn't as good as your live commentary, still good tho
@@kolehotvedt1221 yeah, but post commentary gives much more detail. Live commentary on the other hand is more exciting
Damn straight

James Pumphrey is so damn entertaining!
The M48 uses an optical rangefinder instead of laser, still very useful though!
Whats the ingame difference?
@@fartontheway9435 now laser ones can set gun elevation automaticly and also they find range faster than optical
@@ДенисФедоров-ь3у spasiba
A nice thing about the post-commentary is that you give a lot of insights on your tactics and how the situation in the map is developing.

I love these new thumbnails! Seeing little skull man makes me happy
I quite like the post commentary videos you should do them more often, very informative.
I am absolutely loving these thumbnails, they're so cool!

Aye time for me to ask for the p40 (the italian tank) again😁
I love the amazement at the 262 casually annihilating a B-17 - doing just that was precisely what this plane was meant to do!
"I just made him a light weight sport model!" - OddBawZ, after removing half the wings off of an enemy airplane! :D
It is possible to hull break the Ratel's however, I hull broke one with an HVAR that was an engine shot so maybe its not super common for HEATFS to hull break them.
I hit one with 122mm heat and got nothing. Direct engine shot as well
I was in a ah1g and hit one in the engine deck with simx rockets and it didnt die
@@theeasternspy266 122mm used to be an automatic hull break even if you hit the wrong parts of the enemy armor
I like this post-commentary style of video.

1:16 was a history channel wehraboo moment
zako in that Red Tails P-51 did a great job!
This thing is the most op vehicle in the game IMO - better than the centurion mk10 in every way except the stabiliser AT 7.0, without the stupidly high repair costs
They tried to put it down to 6.7 then removed historical match making when we complained
The M48/M60 and T-55 are the platonic ideal of a tank
The M48 was the back then most modern, high-tech US tank which Germany bought from 1956 on and immediately modified it with superior german WWII technology 😆
I love the Super, mainly because it turns into a rectangle.
To quote an old Russian proverb
“Rush B, cyka.”

that german suffering bus? pls no its horrible theres nothing good about it

When the Maus carries the team like a chad
Maus is actually a pretty decent tank if used right. Still laughable that gaijin used the excuse "it's too hard to balance" when even at that time there where so many unbalanced vehicles that the maus was the least of peoples issues.
@@MrEsphoenix ikr lmao

It means I can still use all my control keys as i use my thumb to free look. Using C for me meant I couldn't use the D key in air or ground battles
I binded my free look to mb4 on my mouse, helps a lot
25:56 OB: you cant load if you with a damaged breach (makes sense but a game never the less)
me: (has broken barrel and still cant load) ….
Its 7.7 now, no armour, no mobility, no stabilizer, bad gun.
I actually really enjoy the post commentary

Funnh thing is the video under this in my recommendations is the movie Patton... saying Romel you brilliant Sunavitch.
that poor b-17 will never bring a bomber in again
Hey Odd, just wanted to let you know that the post commentary may not be ideal, but it is definitely cool to have explanation of your tactics and strategies
I saw the word „Bratwurst“ , so I clicked the video. I LOVE BRATWURST!
Remember, Gaijin thinks the Germans need it to fight Shermans ;)
Intro is awesome as always! Keep up the good work Odd!

This Tank is the best AA for its BR in the whole of war thunder
34:30 NARWALS NARWALS SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN CAUSE A COMMOTION.
13:35 They store it there because that’s the first stage ammo that reloads faster
Boat-shaped hulls are very good for side-scrapping (if you know their pen) and random bounces. 👌
Not saying I preferred the post commentary, but it was still very good.
4:18 HUZZAH! A MAN OF QUALITY! If anyone knows who rias is. Good shit sir.
Would you consider playing the ZIS-30 at a BR of 3.7-4.3 I’ve found it to be pretty fun when you bush it up also great vid was very enjoyable
Pretty sure the falcon doesnt have radar. That's why it's at 7.7, 8.0 and above is usually where they put the radar AA
I think all of those radar guided spaa like the gepard should start at 8.3.

@Oddbawz so in germany we call multiple maus: mäuse
I honestly thought the fact that you can’t load when your breech is out was intended.
That would make sens, and separate canon out and breach damage :
- if canon barrel is out, you can still load
- if breach is out, then you can’t reload.
That would be interesting, though quite frustrating
yea i play this tank a lot at 7.3 and it does real well. TBH Gaijin should just fix the mantlet armor error and put it back to 7.3, its fine there
Game number 2 you told Everything what's going on. I love it
Now I can Improve a little in my tactics
It doesn't even matter that it's 7.0 now since there are no 7.0 line ups. 99% of people use it as 7.3
Keep up brilliant vids odd bro watch every time u got vids out ty cool bro❤ these vids of war of thunder
Its funny seeing that both you and I have exactly 6 aphe rounds in our loadouts
Just sayin that M48 at 7.0/7.3 does NOT have a laser rangefinder.
I believe that lowest br tank with laser rangefinder is Italian OF-40 at 7.7
Ah, the m48, I have fond memories of it now, got my first nuke with it
that wirlberwind at the end game was poppin of
thx
here in Germany the plural of Maus is Mäuse
2:50 laser range finder hmmmm...
19:45 It's called Mäuse.
I like how the me 262 looks like a shark from bellow 😁🤩
Love that Donut Media Mo Powa BABYY shoutout
Not a laser range finder, odd, it's a regular optical range finder
Good tips during the game chap.
I can not express the frustration feel facing that thing with leopard 1 in T29
likewise, sucks fighting fucking t54s and pattons all the time in my teegor 2
I love your intro video, it's a year since I started watching your intro video
the germans like capturing tanks and making it better
All the 90mm heat gangster until u run into a Conqueror
Yess odd plz make more long videos much appreciated :)
I was wondering if you would do a t34 American heavy gameplay
yeah the t34 is amazing
#OddBawZ how are you feeling?
If you come back to War Thunder give this tank/plane combo another go.
@2:13 is that a Donut Media reference?
I think so
Indeed
For the Maus when there is 2 of them they are called the big ladies
The Type 75 MLRS would like to know your location. 😯 also, “defilade”
Yknow i feel bad seeing prop planes going against jets
