As an American main, the M901 was game changing when getting those thermal optics. Playing with the TOW while also using the M551's & M60A2's Shillelagh made games that were earning me 30k SL on a bad game and 50k-75K SL on a great game. Include the A-4E's Walleye guided bombs for CAS in a ground RB game and you've got a serious combination that absolutely wipes the floor with other countries at that BR.
35:34 APDS-FS is a regular APDS with fins, therefore making it APFSDS, but not in a traditional way, traditional APFSDS is lenghtened, this is why it has relatively poor penetration for a 30mm apfsds. even warriors ***regular*** APDS has more pen.
One vehicle I wish will still come to WT is the Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne, as it was part of the massive vehicle leak on the dev servers back in the summer of 2021.

Naval player here.Cas in naval isnt really a problem so maybe the firecrest is fine IF you fricking face an AA ferry,Firecrest is kinda good in bluewater fleet even though i dont even play that plane because low tier bluewater is the one with the least AA so you probably gonna havee a blast
Firecrest slander will not be accepted, the M3s are great at setting fires and the performance is nuts for 2.3. B+/A- tier you just simply need to be skilled
The firecrest is genuinely one of the best aircraft in tank RB. All of the german open topped and panzer tanks with 10mm of roof armor make it very effective at cas with some of the best dogfighting performance for a plane equipped with more than one 12.7mm
And for the 262 A1a/U1, with the all the cannons in the nose, set different key bindings to each of the cannons. That way you have control over which cannon (specifically the 30mm) gets used for what. I always refer to the MK103 as the good 30mm. The MK108 is good for planes, nothing else.
I chuckled when you said the fire extinguishers for the harrier is useless. Fire extinguishers really do just suck unless you get really lucky and manage to survive, preferably in something that has a second engine. I can never rely on it for anything. I do have to admit that in the rare case that it does actually save you, it is nice. though.
If i may add, the F-5E CU should be in a tier above S though the reasoning is a little niche. In Sim battles, this thing is a literal god. Something not mentioned in the video is the RWR it has access too, being a NATO IFF RWR. For those unaware that means it tells you the plane type pinging you, so "F4" or "M2K" or "F14" etc. The advantage this gives you in the air Sim game mode against NATO planes in immeasurable. This alone essentially gives you absolute impunity to fly around the whole map with your radar off and able to sneak up on all enemies, tracking them with an insanely good RWR. With its ability to out perform every plane in its BR for flight performance and even punch up to 11.7 against the M2Ks... its incredible. Granted the RWR doesn't really serve a huge advantage other then ground RB for detecting incoming enemy planes and AAA, and in Sim. Though personally.... I'd give it S+
The single sim main has arrived. No seriously, that's awesome to hear and it's on my radar now. I love Sim, but I also love gimmicky/toy jet fighters like the 104, Buccaneer, and MiG-23BN. The lack of functional radar on two, and useless RWR on the MiG makes knowing what's up really hard.
@revolver265 hell yeah. I exclusively play high tier sim now and I can't recommend the F5E-CU enough. Pair the killer RWR with its python 3s and all aspect aim9P4s... it's a literal monster. 20-30 kill games are common after you really get used to it.
I actually feel that the 262 is very strong for air realistic, it gets an air spawn and can just about get on the same level as SU-11s, the cannons are a bit funny because you get 6 of them, they spread out a lot and they deal a lot of damage so all you have to do to get a kill is lead them in the rough direction and just spray, even if only 1 shell hits it will atleast crit the other guy and the flightmodel isnt even that bad as long as you avoid furballs and boom and zoom
my first Squadron vehicle was the 262 and at first. i hated it it was clunky slow and i was constantly fighting things that i had zero way to counter. but now since its 7.3 it fits SEEMLESSLY into my 7.7 german lineup and ive done much better in ground RB working as a Semi-CAS/Anti-CAS role. and i have to say, its my best jet so far, and i own the F-4S
Air RB player here I'm a big german WWII plane enthusiast and most 262s get the mk 108s which are good on planes just not fast moving jets the mk 108s are only ever really great if you get the jets slow otherwise they are very hard to hit. The mk 108s do decimate anything you hit tho with universal belts c: you might not do much dmg with default belts tho. But the mk 103s have amazing ballistics and if you know how to fly the 262 the mk 103s are a huge upgrade from the mk 108s
Use it in head-ons. It shreds anything, so you can basically get 2-3 kills at the very start of the game, and then do that again. Thus, you can grind events pretty fast
I used the Sea Harrier for grinding to British top planes. Due to the very good low speed thrust you can climb quite well and drop Aim-9Ls on low flying enemies that don´t see your missiles coming. I often got 2-3 kills right after the start of the match just because I launched missiles at the enemy base bombing train
Genuine hot take maybe, but i quite enjoy the firecrest. Back in the day, it was criminally over brd, at i think 3.3. Even then it had a pretty strong engine, but now at the lower br, the engine is very good, M3 .50s are very good with the higher fire rate and better damage, and it still turns fairly decently
minor error, the Swiss Hunter 58 has AIM-9Ps, not AIM-9Js. Its such a minor difference that it doesnt matter, but the Ps can be slaved to the radar so that can be useful
The Me-262 is easily A tier imo. It's by far the best CAS around its BR, and you can very easily destroy tons of open top or weakly armored enemies, while having the agility advantage over something like a Do335. If you want to cannon CAS, the squadron 262 variant is definitely the ultimate WW2 airplane.
I think the me 410 br 5.0 is overshadowed, it has the same guns with 240 ammo pool with decent agility and twin 13mm cannons at the back that shred anything
me262 a-1a/u1 is great for air RB in my opinion. when spaded you can do some decent maneuvers and avoid gunfire, but most importantly the guns here SHREAD anything it comes in contact with. a single well placed 30mm shot can oneshot a aircraft, and you got almost 300 shots of them. you can esally stack up kills with this aircraft
personal best 4 planes 5 tanks and 5 assists after I fully researched all of the equipment. I love the plane but only if you manage to carry the speed above 500kmh you can do decent things but if you drop under that you are done. Hit and run tactics work like a charm.
The M901 can actually be pretty good in niche situations. Say you've got a match where each team has their own cap point and the map has some good short cover. You can find an advantageous position overlooking a route the enemy will travel down in large numbers and pick off quite a few of them and then scurry back to the cap to rearm. Using the Su-22 for CAS, I tend to prefer the bombs. Iirc you get bomb CCIP which makes aiming them easy. I don't personally have this aircraft but I have the Su-17M2 which is more or less identical when it comes to CAS. An extra advantage of the Bhishma you didn't mention is that while it lacks the Shtora-1 soft kill APS, it gets extra ERA modules in their place which can actually save you once in a while. It's kontakt-5 with iirc 150mm of KE protection which can make the difference between some darts penning you or not. While the M1A1 AIM doesn't get a commander sight at all like most other M1A1s, you do get thermals in the M2 Browning sight when you select it as primary weapon. It's that little circular thing mounted next to it on its mount. This can be used as a makeshift CITV in some cases.
Just to Think about that the BMP2 can Launch atgms while driving is insane, as example, when they took that ability away from the Type 87 broke the Back of this vehicle
I knew I saw this video somewhere! I was looking for it last 3 days cause I'm about to start my next research and couldn't find it, thought I was delusional
I got the Me 262 A1-a after purchas...I mean acquiring the leo 2 PzBtl and found that it's surprisingly good at downing SU-25s and variants. As long as you get on their tale they have a surprisingly hard time evading you and can't out maneuver you. I've downed many an SU-25 with it in top tier and even some A-10s as well
Important note about the M901, since it is a M113 chassis and Gaijin hates it, it will struggle to go up most inclines your normal tanks might, keep that in mind too. (Also it should be W-E tier)
I think the grenade launcher on the BMP-2M is actually kind of a balancing feature. The ammo for it is stored right on top of the turret which makes it a pretty easily kill when one of these is hull down. When playing it I've actually tried putting this theory into practice by emptying the entire GL ammo before going into battle and it made a small but noticeable difference in survivability. I am quite fond of it but it's not my favorite IFV. Lynx is better imo.
If more tank destroyers got scouting, imagine, someday they fix Khrizantema S’s ground radar and its BMP3 hull hydraulic suspension, then add the scouting to it. Even its got from 9.7 to 11.0, even 11.7 after those buff, it still can do wonders
I know I’m late to this video but does anyone remember playing more thunder and your gunner would go unconscious? He wouldn’t be dead he just be unconscious. I never get that anymore. It just says either he’s dead or he’s alive. I remember playing you get hit none of your crew would die but you’d hear over the radio, the gun is unconscious or some otter crewmember is unconscious
object122mt is soo much fun its my top vehicle now i think ( mainly because i used it to grind a crafting event ) the vehicle itself is amazing and the atgms are a cherry on top
The only issue I have with the Firecrest is the lack of durability. I swear if I sneeze my tail falls off and it's crash time. I have otherwise not had issue with the weapons system or maneuverability. Then again I have, when paired with a good squad of platers, been effective and gotten kills with Hurricanes at a BR two and three points higher than their actual BR. In those teamwork and communication was key though.
In naval arcade u can see what lineups a player used The squadron SKR 7 is often the only top tier vehicle a player have Imagine the majority of ground RB 10.0 matches with 3 Soviet players who spawn in the BMP2m, a bt5, and a kv1 (or only a BMP2m) That's basically the situation with the SKR7 bc ppl buy it so often
It was very odd to see the firecrest be trashed this way. It’s very versitile and is a CAS plane that turns into a very agile fighter once it’s dropped its ordnance.
The 262 is a fantastic anti tank with the mk 103 ap rounds even after they were nerfed. The 20mm and the mk 108 30mm are also very punchy HE slinging threats to aircraft and opentops
You forgot, for me a big advantage on the BMP-2M. Because it can lock onto enemy aircrafts and kill them with its main or just shoot one of its 8 ATGMs (4×2) which surprisingly hit quite well even onto moving planes if they don't manoeuvre that much. I know you just forgot to mention it but that's why I made this comment, to let others know it can lock onto enemy aircrafts.
the a1/u1 is great in air rb, even if it is over br'd, the guns are great, and the airspawn lets you get alt on everyone else and dominate with basic energy fighting
I've found the grenade launcher on the BMP-2M is great for clearing obstacles in your path, whether it be trees, fences/walls or a whole fuggin house lol
Imma be honest, I thought Zoltan stole this video idea from another CC only to realize that Zoltan stole the idea from none other than Zoltan himself. The deja vu was hittin
As an A10 player, I take offense to saying the Harrier is gonna make people upset with its speed. It's faster than I am. XD lmao, much love, great video.
The reason why there's no - and an additional space in the Swedish name is probably cuz of Swedish army name formatting. Since it was the Swedish army that trialed it, they probably changed it to make sense with other Swedish vehicles.
Mate if you go to your war thunder directory and delete the lang file then reload the game, all of the weird names of vehicles with underscores will be fixed
It’s intentional to have it like this as it shows the real vehicle name at long distance. Helpful for when different variants of the same plane have big differences in their missiles
the difference between swedish and russian T80U names are probably file difference, you can't have 2 files named the same because the program won't know which one to read at a time

As long as you get on their tale they have a surprisingly hard time evading you and can't out maneuver you. I've downed many an SU-25 with it in top tier and even some A-10s as well
This works with any plane , if somebody gets on your tail you are basically cooked
the swedish t-80 is at a akward br for sweden. not good enough for leo2A6 lineup and leo2a4 will get put into top tier if u use it.
Damn Sultan. You realized we loved this one didn't you?
Important note about the M901, since it is a M113 chassis and Gaijin hates it, it will struggle to go up most inclines your normal tanks might, keep that in mind too. (Also it should be W-E tier)
You can fix those glitched names by going in settings and unchecking the box which says enable custom localization
I think the grenade launcher on the BMP-2M is actually kind of a balancing feature. The ammo for it is stored right on top of the turret which makes it a pretty easily kill when one of these is hull down.
When playing it I've actually tried putting this theory into practice by emptying the entire GL ammo before going into battle and it made a small but noticeable difference in survivability.
I am quite fond of it but it's not my favorite IFV. Lynx is better imo.
17:40 that poor poor r3 is gonna have flashbacks because of you zoltan.
If more tank destroyers got scouting, imagine, someday they fix Khrizantema S’s ground radar and its BMP3 hull hydraulic suspension, then add the scouting to it. Even its got from 9.7 to 11.0, even 11.7 after those buff, it still can do wonders
That clip with the British t90 lmaoo
I know I’m late to this video but does anyone remember playing more thunder and your gunner would go unconscious? He wouldn’t be dead he just be unconscious. I never get that anymore. It just says either he’s dead or he’s alive. I remember playing you get hit none of your crew would die but you’d hear over the radio, the gun is unconscious or some otter crewmember is unconscious
at 22:42 can we talk about the mi 28 who killed a a4e ?
I just don't have the Magach, Abrams, Hunter and the F-5, good video BTW.
object122mt is soo much fun its my top vehicle now i think ( mainly because i used it to grind a crafting event ) the vehicle itself is amazing and the atgms are a cherry on top
The only issue I have with the Firecrest is the lack of durability. I swear if I sneeze my tail falls off and it's crash time. I have otherwise not had issue with the weapons system or maneuverability. Then again I have, when paired with a good squad of platers, been effective and gotten kills with Hurricanes at a BR two and three points higher than their actual BR. In those teamwork and communication was key though.
I flown with Harriers only in Sim Battles, there i feel the engine very efficient. You can go at 60 or 70% without loosing much speed.
In naval arcade u can see what lineups a player used
The squadron SKR 7 is often the only top tier vehicle a player have
Imagine the majority of ground RB 10.0 matches with 3 Soviet players who spawn in the BMP2m, a bt5, and a kv1 (or only a BMP2m)
That's basically the situation with the SKR7 bc ppl buy it so often
I love how the bmp-2m before was in 8.7
And we still have two nations without a squadron vehicle.
It was very odd to see the firecrest be trashed this way. It’s very versitile and is a CAS plane that turns into a very agile fighter once it’s dropped its ordnance.
The 262 is a fantastic anti tank with the mk 103 ap rounds even after they were nerfed. The 20mm and the mk 108 30mm are also very punchy HE slinging threats to aircraft and opentops
The Bhishmas front attachment actually gets removed when you install the self-entrenching equipment
My friend who’s a Warthunder wiki moderator said the Firecrest actually has the wrong engine but I haven’t had the time to check that fact out yet…
You forgot, for me a big advantage on the BMP-2M. Because it can lock onto enemy aircrafts and kill them with its main or just shoot one of its 8 ATGMs (4×2) which surprisingly hit quite well even onto moving planes if they don't manoeuvre that much. I know you just forgot to mention it but that's why I made this comment, to let others know it can lock onto enemy aircrafts.
the a1/u1 is great in air rb, even if it is over br'd, the guns are great, and the airspawn lets you get alt on everyone else and dominate with basic energy fighting
the Bhishma dozers can stop HEAT rounds
I've found the grenade launcher on the BMP-2M is great for clearing obstacles in your path, whether it be trees, fences/walls or a whole fuggin house lol
Imma be honest, I thought Zoltan stole this video idea from another CC only to realize that Zoltan stole the idea from none other than Zoltan himself. The deja vu was hittin
Wait is this a repost? I swear I've already seen this excellent video before
Pinned comment…
@@benjamin91821 Which they posted after mine :)
Me262 plane that is barely good for anything higher than previous things lol. It's on the same level with british prop
the agm-65d has an abysmal time locking and actually killing enemies so much so that i'd almost rather have manually guided bullpups
Bro absolutely shafted the Firecrest. That beast is absolutely insane at 2.3 man. Just have some trigger discipline and you can get easy 3 kill games
The su-22m3 recently gained the ability to use up to 6 r-60mk
As an A10 player, I take offense to saying the Harrier is gonna make people upset with its speed. It's faster than I am. XD lmao, much love, great video.
The reason why there's no - and an additional space in the Swedish name is probably cuz of Swedish army name formatting. Since it was the Swedish army that trialed it, they probably changed it to make sense with other Swedish vehicles.
Mate if you go to your war thunder directory and delete the lang file then reload the game, all of the weird names of vehicles with underscores will be fixed
It’s intentional to have it like this as it shows the real vehicle name at long distance. Helpful for when different variants of the same plane have big differences in their missiles
oh ok @@ZoltanSultan
More ranked lists please!! Potential to split up lists by tier and air/ground/naval premiums?
the difference between swedish and russian T80U names are probably file difference, you can't have 2 files named the same because the program won't know which one to read at a time
35:36 it says this way because it is just an apds with some fins slapped onto it
I like the firecrest tbh, it’s great for strafing spaa due to the fire rate
