@@Wally_Wombat689 I meant historically speaking the archer is right where it should be br wise. But yeah the gun is pretty hefty. It’s offset however by just how hard it is to use
Eh Fixed wing aircraft are not exactly unique or different, the Ho 229 V3 is no exception, since fixed wing has been a concept long before it was designed.
Its the perfect tank to be in if you want to die lol Imagine having to push into an enemy position with your gun fixed backwards. Its like boxing with your hands tied
@@caralho5237 that’s why you would go in in reverse. Also the armor is (opposing most other tanks) the strongest at the rear, and it goes the same speed it both directions. The big advantage (in my eyes) is that the engine is in the rear and you can use it as extra armor for your crew. Also it’s an tank destroyer so you are not meant to rush into the middle of the battle, but use the terrain as cover and pick of the enemy’s one by one from a bigger distance.
@@finnbergermann The archer is absolutely horrendous, stop coping. There's a reason no one else designed a tank in such way. Driving into battle in reverse? And if the driver wants to point the gun at someone, he has to drive without looking. And its a shitty gun too. Horrendous, simply the worst.
@@caralho5237 that’s true though. But if you look at the circumstances at the time it was made, and the reason behind the design it would make sense. Mostly because it was intended to give support fire to infantery and ambush tanks from a fixed position like artillery and then when fired upon change positions. In Warthunder it’s kinda bad, but that’s only because it’s matched by BR instead of matching it with the tanks from that time. If you put it with only with German WW2 tanks in realistic numbers, it would have been mostly against Panzer 3 und Panzer 4 (maybe sometimes a tiger) and had a gun that could destroy every German tank from from ranges beyond 850m and was quite effective.
I’d suggest getting in a nice flanking position and picking them off that way, or on urban maps using your low profile to your advantage and sticking to lower positions like in craters or behind rubble.
for those who are wondering: Archer Tank Destroyer is based on Valentine tank, but the cannon is facing towards the rear, hence the weird movement of it. you are literally reversing when going going cannon forward with it.
The archer is Self Propelled. It literally fires it gun to move faster, that’s why you spawn in it with the turret facing the wrong way for those who are wondering
2 m50s came up to help my grandpa's platoon in Vietnam when they came under fire from a hill on the opposite side of a clearing they found. Said when they pulled up they just unloaded and when he peeked back up, that hill was level with the ground beneath it
The VT1-2 seems like the perfect tank for eliminating anything one meter to the right or one meter to the left of whatever it is you're actually aiming at
Ah yes, back during that special period of the cold war when military doctrine was "nuclear Armageddon is basically inevitable, so let's just prepare to roll with it"
M50: I’m general Grievous baby Do 335: I pissed off ground player Archer & J7W1: people keep talking to my ass Object 279: I fu-ed up APFSDS, missiles and bombs BF 109 Z-1: My creators has too much sugar in their nose VT1-2: Crack cocaine Anti-tank: B-- I’m the real baller here
The M50 “Onto” was deployed alongside US marines to Vietnam, the tank was used for fire support but firing the tank during the night gives away its locations due to the bright lights it emits when firing, you also need to get out of the vehicle in order to reload the guns. The vehicle was retired from military service in 1960
Archer is hands down the most difficult tank I've used before, just because of how to drive it. But i got used to it and it's genuinely a pretty good tank destroyer
One of my favorite planes in that games is the f82e twin mustang with the 50 cal gun pod upgrade. Those 14 mgs makes it like a laser pointer when you use tracer shells.
When I was a begginer, I saw an Archer tank and I asked him in the chat, “Why are you going in reverse?” He replied: “no that’s just the tank”

When I was new to the Game I thought the Archer was made for France bc the gun faced in the wrong direction
@@greengang61 =)))

That's an M-50 Ontos. the USMC used them. Marines don't understand the concept of "overkill." This is also why the Marines were never allowed nukes...
That archer shot was so clean
Ikr, I hate that thing purely bc it is so unconventional and the 17pdr at its bar is overkill and it always over pens
You cant overpen with solid shot
I hate the Archer so much

Ww2 weapons is what happens when the government gives free crack to their enegeniers
Mostly German so yes
The soviets were on nuclear fuel
279 had a genius, but failed purpose
The M50 is a result of a bunch of Marines and Farmers if they were all given engineering degrees and an individual bucket of cocaine
The archer is the perfect tank for a tactical retreat.
I'd say the french approves it
Its the perfect tank to be in if you want to die lol

curiously when the J7W1 fires to the ground it synchronizes with the song
for those who are wondering: Archer Tank Destroyer is based on Valentine tank, but the cannon is facing towards the rear, hence the weird movement of it. you are literally reversing when going going cannon forward with it.

VT1-2 : Really? 💀
That VT1-2 got that drift smoothly💀
Very great video! Gonna play some war tündér rn
The VT1-2 is basically just a tank with dual wielding pistols
The J7W1 should either go to 5.7 or get its repair cost lowered
I think they did lower it to 5.7 because obviously gaijin wants us to suffer more on grinding
@@Yurihyuga766 incorrect. It is still 6.0 (RB)
The funniest thing id the m50 Antos is real and it was aimed with a 50 caliber guns was basically a Benelli with a howitzer on top

Hey there's the plane from Godizlla Minus One. Such a great film.

There’s an ejector seat. Pull the lever right before impact, Shikishima.
*Live.*

Dude tried to play it off like he didn’t just completely biff that Archer shot
The M50 was meant for clearing out possible enemy encampments in veitnam
Omg the J7W1 is that the "Local Fighter Shinden" we see in the climax of Godzilla Minus One?
yup a nother premium and the basement guys is allways wanted to escape
Archer is the most unusual vehicle of all😂😂😂 but you get the logic behind the design once you start playing it often....
Twin Mustang: Wha- r u copying me?
Twin BF 109: Uhhhh nope
the archer is for the french so that they can fire while retreating
Bro inviting War Robots
and you only have to research about 300 shermans to get these

That small IFV with 6 bazookas looks very practical.

there needs to be a national geographic in WAR THUNDER
I can’t get over the name “OBJECT 279” like it’s some sort of SCP lol
Basement guy really deserves a raise after this one
Archer, otherwise known as angry connor(in world of tanks and world of tanks blitz) has a reverse speed of 30 kmh
“The silliest vehicles in WarThunder, built for sillyness.”
OBJECTION !
the most unique vehicle in war thunder is the unicorn !
No one is proud of the Archer, but we're proud of you basement meme guy
The m-50 uses recoil-less rifles. That's a crazy vehicle to use aggressively. Those were pretty interesting, wacky designs.
Last guy was running like those NFL football robots
Bro I’m in the chilliest war thunder custom game rn😂😂
They all work to perfection except the archer
The J7W1 was actually in Godzila minus one
Basement guy showing off his odd looking premium vehicles 😞
I always have to remind myself that the M50 actually saw action in more than one conflict.
"Trust me, When i say you won't be accurate, you won't be."
Honestly you know the vehicles are beyond wacky when an anti tank exo suit is the vehicle that makes the most sense
Ever wanted to drift a tank? Here it is the VT1-2
Wanted to be the only human character in War Thunder, here it is the Anti tank
Man. Playing in an Archer is same level of suffering as grinding lower tier France 😂
Firing these 106's in a salvo looks like a XVII Century ship salvo and it looks badass
That last one is Fencer from EDF.
dual planes was actually more common than you’d think one person was a pilot one person was a radar officer

just a lil fun fact, the Object 279 was built to survive a nuclear blast, hence the flying saucer looking shape
Hell yeah, i spend a whole time with archer, to heading A point💀
Fun fact:The J7W1 was made to trick enemy soliders to think that its going backwards
