keep in mind, shells can have varying velocities so you have to account for that when changing shells. That's what happens at 7:24. when the Mil-Dots increase in distance, the rounds will drop faster as that rounds velocity is lower and vice versa. hope this helps!
Yeah a complete oversight from me when I was playing. I very rarely took more than one type of shell into games until recently and then failed to remember that the have different velocities 🤣 lesson learned!
that shell velocity is why i don't use most STUGs as its base is that HEAT that cooks me in battle. so glad when i got the APHE for one of the STUG types and i could actually kill things.
its actually because HEAT is completely pointless having a high penetration round, just use HE, it is way more precise and has less fall than HEAT, i learned it the bad way, it happened exactly the same to me and never took HEAT again, just HE
I’ve been watching the last few of your vids and I’m genuinely impressed at how well you play when I saw your account level. I wouldn’t expect you to know to carry heat for spaa much less to pay attention to the map. Good shit bro I love the editing aswell.
1:55, using the 88mm Flak in an actual AA role and even getting a kill on a plane, what a madman. Honestly quite impressive, even I can't do that reliably, and I have put over 3k hours into this game llmao. Well done!
I remember that before they added the adjustable fuze to it I once managed to ping a b17 with it at like 2.5 km during a night match. I'm still salty that Gaijin didn't put it in their highlights.
Lovely improvement from the blowing up in the M24 Chaffee, but thats in a whole diferent lineup and with varying armour levels. one thing to note is that the 3 G's armour above the drivers and "machinegunner"s window is less protected than the whole front. Just to keep in mind when dealing with heavier KV1, T-34 '41 variants and taller M4s. Great job on the content, mate
1:40 it is ALWAYS a mistake to relay on a German teammate. This is also why it is so hard to play German vehicle, even though IMO most are great and a lot of them should have higher BR.
From 5:46 onward where you fought against 2 AA's, you should've loaded HEAT so they get oneshot no matter where you hit them. When you're shooting APHE against unarmored targets it doesn't explode and just passes through dealing minimal damage.
also the tank you meet at 4:55 is the ARL 44 with the 75mm acl 1 ,it has really weak side armor (50mm) ,if facing headon its best to shoot LFP or the cheeks
• Driving on open field • Doesn't check corners • Lack of teamwork with the other stug(didn't even protect each other's flank) • Turning your front against the enemy spawn in a casemate(especially if you're the spearhead of the push) • Going back to the open field which your teammates haven't secured yet 1:14 • but who cares, go play it however you want
The only point I have issue with is “lack of teamwork with the other stug”…that was his lack of awareness that almost killed us 😂 everything else is absolutely bang on
501: that right there is a ARL-44 a Frnech heavy tank, surprisingly enough your first shot at it was the best way to kill it as it always has ammo in the turret, it's basically a low-tier french tiger, ones it angles it's near damn impossible to kill it without a large-calibre gun
I once had a turtle spawn camping my team then I got behind him, shot his engine, track, gun, repair, engine, track, gun, repair... repeat until my friend came to fetch the kill
Just watched a few of your vids, some of the common things I have seen you struggle with, (Sherman vids, with the stock shell and even the APHE) is patience and getting a decent angle. If you ever need help or something, I just got my gf up to 6.0 france lmao, she's having the same issues.
2:20 This is just really annoying when it happens, when you think you can penetrate the tanks side with a *tank destroyer* but in the end you do absolutely nothing. You should've just went fowards so you would have a better shot, because the KV-2 has a 40 second reload. Anyways, amazing flank by the way but unfortunate ending.
@@GibbyGav heavy tanks or medium tanks. Even though the meta favours light tanks i believe. 6.7 americans are fun. Also the low tier shermans are great fun. The german panzer IV f2 is also great.
i would recommend binding a key to turn off the engine if you hold corners with any tank. It might not do much in low tiers where players usually don't listen to their surroundings but it becomes more helpful the higher up br's you go
The curse of German tanks is you have to play with German teamates 😂 but if you like the stugs im sure you will enjoy the panzer IV/70 with a panther gun. Also remember that different rounds have different velocities to account for, keep it up m8!

The first plane kill with the 88 was an f4u, most of my other plane kills are pe8s and Lancasters that fly too high
When going agaisnt open anti air like the zis gun carriers, you can use heat as a he shell

Going to be honest, don't ever bother taking the heat shells, the APHE round will be all you need in the Stug III G
The APHE wasn’t overly useful against that AA 😂
@@GibbyGavtake HE, if you dont get HE take HEAT.
lies
@@GibbyGavtake he instead of
@@GibbyGavGerman HEAT is so good that it can be used instead of APHE but with the added penetration bonus

Thanks! 💯
i found your channel recently and your edits have me in stitches best of luck bro!
From 5:46 onward where you fought against 2 AA's, you should've loaded HEAT so they get oneshot no matter where you hit them. When you're shooting APHE against unarmored targets it doesn't explode and just passes through dealing minimal damage.
I cannot describe to you the frustration I felt at myself when I was editing this video for that very reason…😭
if you like this,you will love the PZ 4/70 basically this but better in every way
also the tank you meet at 4:55 is the ARL 44 with the 75mm acl 1 ,it has really weak side armor (50mm) ,if facing headon its best to shoot LFP or the cheeks
7:50 After your first shot you went from APCBC to HEAT, which has a much lower muzzle velocity and therefore hit the ground.
That sasquach edit lmao!
good youtube series
As an avid thug- i mean stug enjoyer, the first clip is just making me scream internally
Whyyyy?
• Driving on open field
• Doesn't check corners
• Lack of teamwork with the other stug(didn't even protect each other's flank)
• Turning your front against the enemy spawn in a casemate(especially if you're the spearhead of the push)

You should try make a 2.7 line up on USSR T-50, SU-122 is a deadly combo. Also your my new favourite war thunder content creator now
Haven’t started on USSR yet but I will keep that in mind when I do. Thank you! 👍
@@GibbyGavit’s really op bc people don’t know how to kill the su 122 and the T-50 is like a t34 and a Bt7😅
@@aquafire_yt6247well new people atleast, but I doubt new peeps are playing realistic first try.
@@orionsalt8288 it’s 50/50. some people have no idea how to kill it and others do.
@@orionsalt8288 I had a great time with it. But that was half a year ago. Now I am 7.0
8:50 , round ricochet of the ground then hit the M24, so probably shell has lost significant velocity and it didn't go through m24
Thanks you for playing it😊
Nice tank hunting with the StuG III G - one of my favorite German ground vehicles at Rank 2. 👍
I honestly love your stuff

Man. this is one of my favorite line-ups in the game. makes me want to go back and play it. (tho i prefer the wirbel to the ostwind)
another banging video man keep it up 🔥🔥🔥
2:22 Stalinium moment
can we get 20min videos? please
I once had a turtle spawn camping my team then I got behind him, shot his engine, track, gun, repair, engine, track, gun, repair... repeat until my friend came to fetch the kill
at 7:26 when your shell fall short. its because you change the type of amo you were firing
Lmao that panzer 4 f2, I can be a bit blind at sometimes but that's just ridiculous
You should play the Jagdpanzer 38(t)
i love casemates. this one is so fun to play~! i wish the italy variant the 75/m43? with their big 75mm cannon wasnt so over BrD.
Just watched a few of your vids, some of the common things I have seen you struggle with, (Sherman vids, with the stock shell and even the APHE) is patience and getting a decent angle. If you ever need help or something, I just got my gf up to 6.0 france lmao, she's having the same issues.
tell you that, the most joy in this game is when you go back to low tier after a while and got called hacker lmao
My shells sometimes do that too?
Switching Ammo-Types will reset my rangefinder(if i set it to 400, it'll reset to 0 when i switch to H.E.)
cant wait for you to find out about the Jagpanther its a menace. Speed, Armor and punchy gun.
Crazy thing is they did it wrong compared to irl it actually had 120mm front armor
Real, the Schurzhen saves you alot, like here 1:06
Has a real good gun (pzIVG) and errrr etc etc

It’s kind of funny seeing someone who barely started playing when I have sank more than a thousand hours in it
when i started playing i was also drawn to tank destroyers.
What are you drawn to now?
@@GibbyGav heavy tanks or medium tanks. Even though the meta favours light tanks i believe. 6.7 americans are fun. Also the low tier shermans are great fun. The german panzer IV f2 is also great.

It’s i on default
I use it until BR 6.7 with the Tiger II (H), very reliable indeed.
can you try the american M15 CGMC, you get a full auto 37mm and 2x 12.7mm MGs at 1.7
The curse of German tanks is you have to play with German teamates 😂 but if you like the stugs im sure you will enjoy the panzer IV/70 with a panther gun. Also remember that different rounds have different velocities to account for, keep it up m8!
at 04:48 i honnestly thought that it was in game decal
he and ap have to different velocities so u have aim alot more for he
Wait till you get to play the Jagdpanzer 4. That thing is a menace
hey man, could you take out the su100y premium. I find it a good tank and its amazing at sniping with its 130mm cannon
5:00 sir thats an ARL-44 (ACL-1)
Good ol StuG
The one shell Hit the grounded because it has more droprate
The only let down is its rank 2
Why i'm using Italian Stug now, along with M4 Sherman and Panzer IV that all are rank 3
bro try to grind on italy or france early tanks, they are so funny to use, also a bit painful hahah
Cann you play the M42 spaa
Try the sdkfz puma pls
8:50 Typical Chaffe Moment XD I hate that thing, almost as uch as stuarts because they troll me everytime i shoot them XD
U should try the t95💀
I will when I get it!
Heat and he shells fly slower and lower than ap shells
Im early... lessgo! try low tier italian casemates!
First mistake was relying on another human
5:00 thats first verion of arl 44 , imagine kv-1 at 3.7 bur better at everything
w vid fr
Imagine being scared of the basic ARL-44
Don’t need to imagine…I was
DUDE why u bring heat rounds if u dont use them against aa...........
BECAUSE I FORGOT 🫨🫨
I swear players do not have gold headsets or look at the maplol
Obama be like: 7:37
:)))))))
