Colors in the video look extremely contrasty and washed out, almost like watching an HDR video on normal display without proper mapping or what not. Is this intended as in some pro level visibility trick or what's happening? I have noticed this on your last few videos, but here it is even more extreme.
@@crangonV Spookston said something being Glitchy about Nvidia and knowing OddBawz uses a 4090 it is possible there is some recording bug dealing with HDR. Likely his display he uses is HDR and the recording software whether OBS or whatever is getting the wrong color/brightness signals.
Watching the damage model at 15:27 is crazy - the track eats so many rounds that look like they should be going above or below it and the spalling from the track being hit is just eaten by the fuel tank, over and over
Just to add onto this information because I've noticed a lot of creators are not mentioning this. You can use the spike misslss on helicopters. Works like a charm. I've gotten a good handful of heli kills with them!
@@Kraus- After several battles with it. I totally agree. Centauros eating 2 spikes with 0 damage, everyone screaming at me that it is skill issue cause Automatic tracking missile can be changed by your skill right? :D Spikes are garbage on tanks. Vilkas somehow works cause it can survive a lot. Puma with new modifications is so bad, every single shot makes you unable to do anything, you have to repair every single screw in the tank to even move or fire. Also noticed when they shoot my turret I always lose both tracks from ammo explosion. :D
The main problem in WT is that in real life the spike missile and its equivalents are designed to attack tanks from the top down, but in the game there is no such thing or it works incorrectly. Although the spike missile appears to fly upwards in the game, it constantly hits the tanks' gun barrel, tracks or turret cheeks, and very rarely hits the roof armor.
Been watching your videos for almost a year now, never even played war thunder until last week, you make it look very easy, i've been playing japan tanks doing RB and i think i've got around 4 kills with just under 90 deaths over maybe 20 games
I've had several matches where I went back and rearmed my drone TWICE and ended up with 5 out of 6 kills. Never underestimate the agility of the drone to dodge and dive for the deck. Kill power, roll, and dive.
Spikes are the closest thing you can get to a guaranteed kill. Helis can't even make them crash into the ground because they move so slowly. It may take more than thirty seconds, but it's going to track perfectly... for helicopters. I've used them on A-10s and SU-25s with good results too.
One simple fix would be make it actually top attack instead of this flat path...in video demos the spikes do a bow like path,in WT it lofts and then goes flat path...it hits the turret frontal armor making it uselles hitting the most armored spot in MBTs.....
I use the Freccia a lot and i think there is something you can do to make the Spikes hitting better - lock on, pull your turret up and shoot then. This way i get more roof and less front hits on tanks.
Yes, that's exactly what I noticed, especially in contrast to my experiences with Lynx and Vilkas. Even at long range it still matter, because although the missile has reached the same altitude on its own as when you start looking upwards, in my experience it has still a worse trajectory than when you look upwards. The only advantage that the variable launch angle brings in my opinion is against helicopters, because here it is an advantage if the missile flies more directly towards the target.
I think the problem with spikes is that they are meant to be used at ranged that exceed one kilometer, but most war thunder engagements dont occur at that range. its probably why they work so well on helis
@@Organic_Chemistry_Junkie Yeah I wish more systems in war thunder were as lethal as they are IRL, even some of the memed about Russian stuff is underwhelming, then they compensate for it by giving them rounds they never had instead of fixing and putting them at their real BR lol. You can see the same philosophy but even more egregious in naval, Gaijin can't be bothered to model ships' real systems, so everyone is brawling like it's 1870 regardless of the year of their ship.
I saw someone saying that maybe the Namer spikes work better because they're launched more upwards which makes them more reliably hit top-down rather than the cheeks.
@@Juel92look far left or right and the missiles slam into the sides of tanks, I haven’t seen anyone talk about it but it works great for me I’ve taken out a few t80/90s easy that way
Apart from the Namer, I have used all the spike dispensers a lot and unfortunately, in my opinion, the Puma VJTF is the worst. Firstly, there's the movable spike launcher, which encourages you to fire the spike in a straight line. That sounds good at first, because you don't have the minimum range of 400 metres as with Lynx and Vilkas. But even at longer ranges, it's incomprehensibly harder to hit than with the steep launch angle. And even at distances where the atgm flies from about the same height. This leads to the fact that you can hit at short ranges, but actually make significantly fewer kills with the spikes than Lynx and Vilkas. Freccia has the same problem, although the fact that it is Spike MR and not LR also adds to this. In addition, the chains are constantly being destroyed when the tower is hit and although there has probably been an issue with this for some time, it hasn't been fixed. And unfortunately you can also get overpressured when the MUSS IR jammer is hit and I hope that we can unequip it in the future The only real advantage of the variable angle of attack is the higher hit probability against helicopters. Again, I can't say exactly why this is the case, but it's something I've noticed with both the Freccia and the Puma. Unfortunately, the Spike does not utilise the apparently real penetration of over 1000mm, but only 700mm, which is far too little. Unfortunately, this issue is not fixed either and I believe that Gaijin no longer dares to make FaF missiles reasonably good after the hate it received because of Pars 3 LR.
@@M0LOCK LMUR has a range of 14.5 km and outclasses all air defence systems currently in game, with the exception of Pantsir, which also belongs to the Russians. This only gives you a helicopter that can fire FaF missiles undisturbed and outside the range of the air defence system and then fly back to base and reload
I watched a vid on your review of the Vilkas a little while back and you mentioned they were horrible but I swear they’ve been going crazy lately. I get like guaranteed 2 kills on long range maps using the spikes.
Yea, the inconsistency on damage in WT is something that really has screwed me mentally, I lately have noticed that when i play some other FPS I slightly pause on rushing because I forget other games do not have that bug, if you hit you hit and do damage as expected not like WT.
Gaijin's BR classifications are becoming increasingly stupid. The previous Puma shoots the same ammunition at 10.0, the Vilkas has the Spike at 10.3, and the new Puma comes because of the Spike at 10.7 where there is nothing else in the German research tree.... You can't get any more stupid than that
Hungarian Lynx suffers the same fate being 10.7 in italian tech tree where are no other 10.7 but it also has more flaws: manned turret, APS with super small angles that blows you up instead of incoming missile and the cherry on top is that everything italian after 10.3 is garbage (except Leo 2A7 but it's "Hungarian" but actualy German)
@@gravitatemortuus1080 It's more about it's still worse than the certain thing in every way. Even more so considering it got a ridiculous buff recently without getting a BR increase while 2s38 didn't receive a BR decrease for being nerfed into oblivion
The ufp is actually 20mm thick as it's overlayed also the extra 10mm on the front are good against HE munitions or atgms as they explode before contact so it's spaced armour ig
@@sirbonobo3907 Not really, I mean the Puma sometimes struggles to penetrate the side of some mbts and do damage. the stock ammunition has less pen than stuff on 4.0.
I’ve played several games with it and really love this one. Spikes are decent but need the right distance and elevation. Hopefully the Snail will fix this. Also the turret gets damaged soooo quick! You need a team mate to fix it,……
The AHEAD rounds make a fairly small cone of shrapnel when they detonate, so they work fantastic in head-on situations, OK in side on, and hardly work at all if the target is tail-on. Weird
OddBawz Colour correction has me thinking my monitors on the fritz. I’m using my phone so that’s probably why it felt odd for a minute trying to figure out what was bothering me about the image 😂😂
I saw someone say that it's because they're launched more upwards so they do more top-down attack. Don't have the vehicles so I can't test that out though.
They really should implement something where the game doesnt end until the plane carrying the nuke either drops the nuke or gets shot down assuming the should have already ended to ticket bleed.
Spikes in general are a mess. You can´t aim them, they bounce off of light vehicles and for some reason the downward angle of the top down approach is not modeled and is registered as flat all the time.
Did you do something with your videos? the contrast or something with the graphics makes it look weird and bright. Like your recording your monitor with a separate device. Love the vid tho
I think once they refine and tweak how they work it’ll be worth it but as of now the missiles seem to be unpredictable enough to not have too much value in my opinion
Have you tried out the 120S yet? I know you hate slow tanks but I think the funny M1A1 turret on this bobblehead monstrosity would make up for the lacking mobility :D
Spikes this patch are very nerfed from even the previous major patch where you could actually lock people through the ground. And they would sometimes even hit their target.
Mr. OddBawZ sir I have something for you to try. I've been recently playing the Japan tree and I only have top tier Planes and low tier tanks. So when I wanted to play the japanese tanks I found something you might like, the Chi-Ha LG, a ww2 naval gun on a cart. So obviously I did what everyone would do and put my F-16J on my lineup with that tank. On the first game I killed an Abrams. And I'm not good, so I thought it would be fun to see someone who's better at Ground RB than I am try it and I would love to see it.
Because war thunder doesn’t make those ads. When people click the ad link it gives a certain amount of ge to the person who made the link of the account gets to rank 3. Also so as well.
I also have the feeling that the Vilcas and Puma Spikes just dont seem to have their tandem warheads moddled. Any level of ERA seems to stop them dead in their tracks.
Wtf was so hard to just implement it this way: - new modification: Spike - when equipped, tank's br changes to 10.3. 10.7 is complete BS because no line up and a whole ctrl+c ctrl+v vehicle is so unbelievable lame, I can't even find words for.
i would rather just have 2 vehicles, that why you can have them both on at the same time. I think both pumas are too high, no spikes should be 9.7 and with spikes should be 10.0--10.3
hey @oddbawZ i was wondering if youd do a video on the RU MI24D thats on sale for a few days , im not quite sure how to use these helis yet and itd be nice to see a heli thats not as easy as fire and forget
The spikes actually destroy anything light armored pretty reliable, don't bother launching it against MBTs. If you REALLY need to wound an MBT with it, launch 2 at the same time because this will most times destroy or severely cripple it. This vehicle should be 10.3 because Vilkas is 10.3.
Firepower of the Puma? It’s the most anemic 30mm APFSDS round in game. It has probably about half the damage potential of the BMPs 30mm and that’s before considering the massive difference in RPM
I'm wondering if AHEAD rounds fuze setter accounts for doppler shift, and thus the heading of the enemy. Without that, the round would overfly targets that come toward you.
My only real experience with spikes is with the vilkas and they're much more often a complete miss than a hit. I haven't tried the Namer but it seemed to be much more effective than the German variants for some reason. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Could be a skill issue but... "Fire and forget" doesn't leave much room for human error.
Scouting doesnt give crap for doing it and its almost like who cares at that point because you get next to nothing for doing it and never mind a teammate actually has to hit the enemy you scout.
The spikes are great. On tanks like the Vilkas. Getting a flat launch is really really irritating, and it doesn’t benefit combat. I have more success with the Vilkas than i do with the VJTF
Not sure if it is a Bug, but normal PUMA survives a lot even after update but PUMA VJTF always loses both tracks when getting single hit anywhere near turret. Even when ammo doesn't detonate...
How about just get them to work consistently, yes they detonate midair or hit an optic and that's all you get. Only once in a while can you get decent damage or kill.

So I use mine at top tier for scouting, anti-drone and anti-heli. Spikes do better against ka-50/52s than VT1s imho.
I'm wondering if AHEAD rounds fuze setter accounts for doppler shift, and thus the heading of the enemy. Without that, the round would overfly targets that come toward you.
@OddBawz why dont you use the commander sight to lob the spikes if you cant see the enemy with gunner view?
Spike really don't like any sort of movement when firing, and it was pretty frustrating when I started grinding this a couple of days ago
Gaijin should make the nuke plane for top tier a Tornado for minor nations & germany, the F-111 for USA and the Su 24 for russia (and maybe china)
My only real experience with spikes is with the vilkas and they're much more often a complete miss than a hit.
I haven't tried the Namer but it seemed to be much more effective than the German variants for some reason. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Could be a skill issue but... "Fire and forget" doesn't leave much room for human error.
Scouting doesnt give crap for doing it and its almost like who cares at that point because you get next to nothing for doing it and never mind a teammate actually has to hit the enemy you scout.
Cannot lie, this being at a 10.7 but the BMP-2M and 2S38 are at 10.0 feels like a crime.
The spikes are great. On tanks like the Vilkas. Getting a flat launch is really really irritating, and it doesn’t benefit combat. I have more success with the Vilkas than i do with the VJTF
Not sure if it is a Bug, but normal PUMA survives a lot even after update but PUMA VJTF always loses both tracks when getting single hit anywhere near turret. Even when ammo doesn't detonate...
Just steer man = UR STICK IS NOT EVEN TOUCHING THE GROUND MAN
Ahhhh Scottish
I use these on Heli's... works everytime and they don't seem to get any warming :3
the color is so harsh on the videos now
Object 292 has been weird lately. For a vehicle with weak armor, it has tanked a lot of MBT SABOT's. Lot's of no side pen.
How about just get them to work consistently, yes they detonate midair or hit an optic and that's all you get. Only once in a while can you get decent damage or kill.
"THATS STEER MAN"
Day five of asking odd to play the strv 101.
Spikes will work eventually.
Probably when a Russian vehicle has them
Somehow the object 292 cat be pened through the side skirts. Something is fishy there.
Russian tanks surviving ridiculous amount of damage? Pure coincidence..... (Have the same problem at US 7.0 currently)
It was a Leopard 2 lmao...
Bros whining when the US have the most op tanks at that br lmao
@@m16-a2 Really? I usually have no problems dealing with them
