I wonder what Rheinmetall thinks of their currently sold and marketed vehicle being misrepresented and portrayed as bad in a game.
It’s not bad in game
@@MR-JUSTINNit is don't lie to yourself in it's currently state it's at a way to high of a br
@@alphawolf1786 sure but its not like this guy is saying
They don't care. Real life is showing that their stuff is pretty damn good. While the vehicles gaijin wants us to think are amazing are actually trash.
To put it into perspective. In the current Ukraine conflict. Over 130% of T80's have been destroyed. How is it 130%?
Well, all active T80's were destroyed, and Russia had to reactivate T80's that had been sitting in storage that they weren't counting.
Not much. The game doesnt represent real life or any irl situations. What do the guys think whos vehicles are put into entirely different ime periods just so they dont such in game? Not much I guess. Also everyone knows, or should know the Data of WT isnt accurate. Especially with modern nations they straight up arent allowed to put irl Data and abilities in
I don't know what to believe in after ryan dropped two videos in one day. I'm scared to imagine what will happen next
A third video? 😱
Hilarious how it takes dozens of hits of APFSDS to kill any tank in the Lynx, but APDS on the Falcon/AMX-30 DCA would shred them in a single burst
Yeah, gaijin did this to puma to
And obviously the fake APFSDS on BMP-2M 30mm (they still mainly use AP-T and some APDS irl lmao) suddenly destroys everything
Theoretically the low armor works because of the APS actually working in real life, and this thing wouldn't be taking on MBT's with fast moving shells, it'll be going against infantry with RPG's and TOW missiles, which are much easier to intercept. They also won't have big enough rounds for their small arms (probably) to pen it anyway.
if the infantry doesn't call in air support, but that can be mitigated with air superiority
yeah i mean thats a problem for any vehicle on land lol, at least this thing might have a chance of intercepting ATGMs from Helis irl@@novastar3547
If the KF-41 was russian, it would have 10 spikes that reload in 5 seconds
cope, look at the f16 tard
And you can choose how to target mode
and its 30mm would pen leo2s frontaly and shoot 3x faster
and lower brs
And be 8.7
Ryan: The KF-41 is not very good
Also Ryan: holdup imma pop this nuke real quick
even a shit vehicle is good in good players hands
eh that was definitely a lucky ass match, plot armor was strong. even though the vehicle is shit I still wanna include fun and exciting gameplay
@@ryanberry_nah you are just built different
@@ryanberry_ "Plot armor" Hahhah :D
@@ryanberry_ thatfirst match gave the impression that your video title was meant as sarcasm though - gotta change that in the future
Did I just witness 2 videos of the great Crying Larry in 24 hours? This is the 3rd luckiest day of my life lol
Somehow I am not surprised, not like there hasn't been a pattern with Italian vehicles at top tier being modeled incorrectly lmao
I mean if you listen to Gaijin’s own reasoning for half of their decisions it’s obvious they really don’t care. The PUMA has spikes. We’ve been waiting how long for them? The Lynx is actually a lot better than it is in game. They’ll fix it after 5 major updates and a large power creep/BR compression.
@@poboing2503 Once they fix the spikes they'll give them to the PUMA. The biggest issue I saw before the KF41 was the Freccia which Spikes were introduced on first in regards to the Freccia and Puma. Yet they haven't fixed the missiles yet so I think waiting for them to fix them is going to be when they add them to the Puma.
@@Thebaconmurderer if they’d added them to the PUMA German mains would’ve cried and bitched the missiles into working order quickly. But I just don’t understand the way they’ve handled the TT and variants involved. The best IFVs and light tanks belong to the paid premium trees, or squadron choices. That’s why they don’t care for the spikes if you ask me. They haven’t monetized them yet, like how they monetized on the move ATGM fire and support for the BMP-2M. Sure, can get it for free, but I’ve seen enough level 10 under in the BMP-2M. Recompression of mid tier, the complete fumble on most of the added tanks, and the lackluster crafting event have kinda killed my drive for now on the game.
The lack of quality assurance by Gaijin is impressive. They truly mustn't play their own game. A shame, because I was looking forward to this vehicle but now can't be bothered for it.
Give it like 4 major updates, and it being power crept by other tanks and they’ll gladly make it accurate to its real life counter part. Until then? We are gonna be waiting. I mean, the PUMA still hasn’t received its own spike missiles, and it does in fact use them in service right now. And it’s not the lynx variant that only gets spikes either. But Gaijin hates on anything that’s actually decent and not Russian.
I do not understand why this thing only gets 2 missiles. It even retracts the launcher into the turret, you're telling me it carries 0 reloads?
they should change the AHEAD ammo to proxy he like the 2s38 has. that way it gives a similar effect to what it can do while making any vehicle that has it actually more viable. historical accuracy is only good when things actually work. otherwise just keep calling them AHEAD and just make em fucking work with whatever systems you have.
This
"Not Very Good"
-Ryan gets an nuke anyways
There’s no reason the puma/kf41 should be so unpolished when the 2s38 exists the ahead round is useless the spikes can be used in two different modes but ofc isn’t modeled
I mean the PUMA still ain’t even gotten it’s own SPIKEs and Germany make both the Lynx and PUMA. I think it’s ridiculous in general how they’ve handled the whole KF41 situation. “Germany doesn’t get it because not in service” well PUMAs currently use SPIKEs in service. Then they reduced the quality of the dart belts so they deal less post pen. They’ve fucked all the IFVs if it isn’t in the Russian premium tree or a squadron vehicle for Russia.
Tip for the Lynx and the Puma, peek enemies in reverse. Your tank is completely empty in the back and in case of the Puma, your gun is on top of that empty space, so your crew is unlikely to get knocked out.
I try this a lot…it’s really a 50/50 if someone gonna ba fooled by it
I do the same thing with the VBCI, huge open space in the rear and I dunno why but it works better against enemies. I wonder if it's cause they think "premium player dumb" or something.
Wouldn't be as bad if it didnt kill itself with its APS and if it had at least 2 more Spikes
There’s no way it should be 10.7 when the bmp2m is 10.0 with 8 missiles
If they modeled it in better and gave its rounds some decent spalling, and maybe 2 more spikes it would be cracked. The fact it’s own APS kills it is hilariously ridiculous, and 2 spikes don’t even guarantee a single kill, even in ideal conditions. The tank itself is a disappointment as it is right now, and honestly would rather they just gave the PUMA the spikes it rightfully deserves.
@@poboing2503 the problem is if they give the puma spikes they’ll give it the same treatment as the lynx it will be 10.7 with two useless missiles, I still am annoyed sine the muss and the ahead aren’t even modeled remotely correctly but if it were Russian that shit would be patched the next fucking day of release
From what I know the StrikeShield is meant to be something in between the heavy ERA modules (like those on the Puma) and a classic hard kill APS.
Classic hard kill systems like the Trophy, Iron Fist, KAPS or Akkor have their sensors and countermeasure (CM) launchers mounted separately. They defeat the threat at longer ranges since the CM launcher has to rotate and fire, but it means they also have a minimum engagement range.
Systems like the StrikeShield, Trophy LV or the Ukrainian Zaslon work in a slightly different way - the countermeasures are stationary and often (but not always) come in modules, each consisting of the CM and its/their detectors. These systems are usually heavier than the "classic" ones, but have much shorter reaction times so they can intercept threats at much shorter ranges.
The minimum range and a limited capability to engage more than two simultaneous threats from different directions is also a reason why classic systems should *not* be thought of as an alternative to ERA (which doesn't prevent Rafael from marketing the Trophy as such...). Distributed systems on the other hand could be used in that way, StrikeShield in particular could be considered "smart ERA" due to the way it's installed on vehicles. And just like the ERA, these systems also require some level of armor on the vehicle they're protecting, mainly because they intercept threats at such a short range that even comething like the fragmens of a destroyed RPG warhead could damage an un-armored vehicle.
It really needs a better round something more like the 2S38 with the 221 pen
Shrimply a krill issue (But really it is terrible)
I didnt expect anything super magical from the Hungarian tree but God its just sad in its current state, everything’s either sorta mid or just straight combloc copy paste
nice to see you back making videos you as a streamer+ you tuber is perfect
The StrikeShield applied like this on the LYNX, was in tests able to stop 3BM42. in War thunder with some luck you are able to stop a TOW from time to time...
There are a lot of vehicles that underperform simply because Gaijin wants you to purchase an over preforming premium vehicle to beat the shit out of all the unfortunate souls that get up tiered in inadequate tanks.
If the Spike Missiles actually worked and functioned the KF41 would be a lot better and more worth the time, but if It Isn't a Russian or German vehicle, Gaijin just doesn't care.
Just that intro makes me want to grind the Italian tree all for those "lazy" missiles
aps seems to not work at all :(
I am more and more sure that he got replaced by androids or some shit. 2 videos in a week holy moley.
What a weird way to find my new favorite youtuber. Love to see it
good day sir, can I download your sight? can you post what sight you are using? thanks a lot sir.
"the lynx is not good"........... drops a nuke in the first match
PUMA always dominates
(no, it doesn’t need spikes)
it doesnt need them but it sure as hell should have them
Puma isn’t very good either
@@Optimusprime56241 yeah br changes fucked it
@@SdKfz-gq8bh last thing i want is the puma to go up in br again 💀
i use it on 11.7,it's great@@teppygray4314
A video from the man himself... Good stuff buddy 💪🏾
awesome vid as always
Awesome vid as always
Another video already??? Wow that is awesome haha
It’s basically a video on italy so it get my stamp of approval
"Lynx is not good" proceeds to tank several MBT's and smoke 6 people
😇
Hey Ryan, i asked this on another vid, but it would be cool if you test some 8.0 Germany especially the df 105. It was one of my fav vehicles befor the br change. It would be great if you could play it because you are much better than me haha.
Love your vids.
I'm curious what your thoughts are on the M3A3. It used to be a fun vehicle but after the nerfs, it's pretty pitiful in my opinion. If you've any tips on playing it those would be heavily appreciated.
Isn't the point of Lynx and Puma being so heavy to give them actually good armour? Because I'm pretty sure Lynx should be at least fully protected from its own gun from the front.
This HAS got to be a skin walker, I cannot believe 2 uploads in a row.
Man if only the PUMA's stock grind wasn't complete shit I might actually have looked forward to getting the Lynx
What do u think abt playing with subscribers on discord
I jump in the voice channels sometimes
im expecting them to add the german version with 35 mm cannon and fix spikes but it should be at least 10.3 tops i mean freaking bmp has 8 fire on the move missiles and 57mm auto firing ifv at 10.0
2:51 well to be fair, Gaijin also has us all questioning why every nation in the world doesn’t just switch to Cold War Soviet tech IRL
do you use gunners camera in RB? chad move
I must be dreaming but two vids in a row, we are truly lucky
But again you deliver a fantastic vid keep up the good work
( I am also first suckers )
Do you have gunner camera from cannon barrel enabled?
No, the KF41 was bugged for like the first week, it fired offset, and some of the footage in this video is from then
"not special in any way" proceeds to instantly get a nuke...
I like the videos more than the streams. Hopefully they're worth the effort! ggs.
I’ve seen a grand total of ONE ever since it was released
are you sure this isnt a stream?
I'm honestly not sure what reality is tbh
I joined your squadron yesterday , new here
welcome my dude
What is that laugh at 9:16 😂
Says the vehicle is bad, proceeds to solo carry the game.
How do you get the M901 in the test drive to shoot at you? I can't seem to figure it out.
go into test drive with a vehicle that has an active protection system
@@ryanberry_ that's the thing, I go into the test drive with something that has APS, and the M901 just won't shoot at me :(
Oh you gotta drive into the testing circle. There's some poles marking it
you can see in the bottom left if you're scouted, there is a pair of binoculars if the circle around it turns white then you're scouted
That's not correct, at least for realistic battles.
@@ryanberry_ i mean its been like that for me it all my my grb battles, got camped every time it was lighting up, if i was in behind a wall far from a cap or spawn, but if it wasn't on they didn't know i moved back to the same spot, for my friends its the same
isnt thats the same gun on puma?
ryan do you reckon the Sweden Strf 9040 BILL is better than this?
yes
Why we can’t have more missiles in the back and why missile aims for the barrel and then hits barrel it does not break it
It doesn't aim for the barrel - it aims for the hottest part of the tank which is generally the ass end - but if the barrel/turret is between you and said ass end, and you are at a range short enough where it hasn't done it's popup thing, you'll hit the barrel. As to why it doesn't break it: Gaijin.
its not that the lynx and freecia are bad, its just they are much better used for long range engagements than CQC
Like 75% of maps don't work for em, and map rotation hates IFVs
@@kanortex9894 i know 😭
@@tedrogers3363 man its gotten so bad i like to call the game MBT Thunder now, IFVs and most ATGM vehicles have been muzzled so hard in recent updates
Meanwhile MBT gameplay still only consists of point & click lolpen dart slinging, IFVs aren't really competetive anymore.
Why does it only have two?
Is this clipped from stream?
no this was all recorded separately
Wait thermals on the UAV drone?! When was this added. 😱
uhhhhhh when drones were added. they're only for Rank 7 light tanks though
@@ryanberry_ makes sense. Haven’t gotten to that point yet
My fav content creator
The reason why it has terrible armor is because the actual info on the vehicle is pretty minimal at this point.
berry sirr complimets on the concistecy of ur AI
actual back to back vids tho genuanly inpresive
"tHe kF 41 iS kInDa bAd"
*gets a fuckin nuke*
BVM video please ryandaddy? 🥺
Lynx = bad .. starts with a nuke.. and wipes the next map also.
😇
fudge. also HI ryan!
You should not have done that well 1st game.
oh yeah that was full plot armor lol
Isn’t the kf41 a German vehicle? Correct me if I’m wrong
It's made by Rheinmetall but not in service with the Bundeswehr
Freccia:
Wheeled
8 Spikes in Total
No Distance Limiter For Lauching The Missiles
Fast
Quick Firing Cannon
Much Smaller
10.0
KF41:
Tracked, Nimble
Missile Can't Be Fired From Any Distance
Only 2 Spikes in Total
Slow Firing Cannon
Absolutely Huge
10.7
It's Own APS Has a Chance to Kill It
APS Can Occasionally Malfunction Depending on The Angle of Attack
Freccia also has a distance limiter - in the sense that it will fail to land the missile if your target is closer than ~200m. KF41? Same story. Also, it can fire any time. I point-blanked a HSTV-L right in the face and that worked just fine.
Cannon is slow firing, but as with the Freccia, you need to know where to hit stuff.
Outside of that, spikes are near useless on any map with plenty bushes and trees because IR won't lock if an enemy tank is somewhat covered up, so having 8 of them means dick. There's only been two matches where I wish the KF had more, but then again it does just fine with it's cannon. I also get more utility off it being tracked because it doesn't bog down on sand or mud nearly as much as the Freccia.
I vote KF41 :P
@@gfimadcat That makes no sense honestly.
The KF41 clearly has a distance limiter, and the Freccia doesn't, and i'm not crazy. You can try it anytime, and the missiles on the Freccia will work just fine at point blank while the KF41 struggles, having the launcher pointing upwards in an awkward angle.
The cannon on the KF41 is only good at damaging, but slow fire rate is a struggle at top tier. It gives the enemy more time to react, and your penetration isn't enough to face everybody anyways.
The Freccia can at least disable enemies much quickly than the KF41 without a doubt, it's a fact. Having 8 spikes matters compared to 2 spikes, and if we compare both cannons, i'm sure the KF41 clearly has a disadvantage, specially if you make both tanks face each other in a hypothetical scenario.
The huge launcher on the KF41 works as an easy ammorack, exposing your whole vehicle a lot easier compared to the Freccia with a lower and thinner silhouette.
Mobility wise, the Freccia doesn't have to face soft terrain often, it can easily avoid it with the momentum it gains overtime on high speeds, and if it does happen to get stuck, it's no sloth, easily getting away and no biggie, but that comes down to positioning, which depends on skill most of the times, since people know where you should and shouldn't go with certain tank.
Overall, Freccia wins in the mobility department.
Honestly, the KF41 is just worse, since it will lose on most of the aspects compared to the Freccia.
Ahh! Gaijin's superb map design! hahahahahaa
PUMA but not
PUMisn't
@@ryanberry_ PUM’nt
You say it's not very good, but i'd say it's a decently adaptable vehicle
I think I mostly just wanted it to be more than it turned out to be. Disappointing is all
This thing needs more missles
ERM WHAT FIRE AND FORGET MISSILES SINCE WHEN GAYJIN RUINED GROUND BATTLES WITH THAT
😱😱😱
omg another video, he is spoiling us
Chad
The correct term is rubish
Its a good looking vehicle. About all it has going for it unfortunately. wasted months of my life grinding Italy and its a damn shame.
Average War Thunder UA-camr moment. "This tank is not good at all!" First match they show is them rolling modern mbt's while getting 7 kills in one life and getting a nuke lmao.
I mean, that match in particular was 100% pure luck. Also do you wanna watch someone get stomped for 30 minutes or do well?
@@ryanberry_ honestly I’d prefer to see game play that is conducive to the claim being made. If the tank is actually so bad that In 30min to an hour of playing, the matches you ended up putting in the video were outliers compared to how it normally plays. I think seeing a match or two of its average game play would be nice to help back up the claim of the tank being really bad. It’s hard to take the opinion serious when every match shown, you almost get a nuke in one life.
@@johnwick6088 To be fair, I also think about this. I don't just post the video and think nothing of the contrast between the message and gameplay. However, I still just don't see the point in uploading trash gameplay of me getting 1 kill then getting one tapped from nowhere.
Maybe in the future if I think a vehicle is bad, I'll make it very clear what aspects I believe make it bad in the intro overview. Then before the gameplay, give a caveat about "well, the gameplay may make you think otherwise, but I'm not gonna upload bad gameplay because it hurts my channel"
It legitimately does hurt a channel to upload shitty gameplay because people click away earlier, which makes the video be recommended less.
@@ryanberry_ I'd prefer to see actual gameplay instead of cherrypicked god-tier matches. I know it's better content but let's be real, you recorded what, ~8 hours of gameplay for a 30 minute video? If this thing really is as bad as you say, picking the "best" match doesn't represent that claim very well, and a more balanced approach would work (i.e. a match where you got splatted because this vehicle is bad, a match that plays out sort-of-okay but shows the shortcomings, and then to counter that something like this god-tier match where it shows that in the right hands it doesn't honestly matter much if a tank is "bad" or not ;)
Ah man lets face it half the MBT's and IFV's make us go why would any nation in the world field this, if this is the performance in WT.
when you remember that the puma is supposed to have spikes and you start swearing in douch
les go
KF-41 kinda ass, I prefer the Strf 9040 BILL.
so it has no armor best armor, aps apfsds auto cannon, laser warning receiver, 2 free kills with the spikes and this is not good enough for you so you had to cry about it so it doesn't get br nerfed? that is what it looks like to me
The APS is useless (actually broken), the spikes are 100% NOT free kills and usually don't work, it has much less utility than the Puma due to crewed turret. I think it should go down to 10.3 at least unless the APS and armor gets fixed (it should have more armor).
I'm not crying about any vehicle, just giving a blunt review and my comments on it's competitiveness (seen in the vehicle overview segment)
YURSSS
Welp as usual Italy gets new stuff but ofc gajin being gajin it doesnt wanna make it as good as it would actually be which is sad. Meh disappointed that i waited and was hyped for this pile of shit but i suppose i can finnaly have more than 2 tanks in my lineups.
bro sounds like joob in lower case
💀💀
Its just better puma, how it can be not good?
It has worse armor, crew in the turret, and 2 useless ATGMs. I'd say it's worse than the Puma mainly due to the crew being in the turret
"No nation would use this vehicle" Thats why hungary has it lol
Pluh.
Not very good (first battle get the nuke)
Dude......
Not only is it not good it's straight up shit in my opinion, it has too many flaws, you can't have fun with that thing sadly.
yeah it's pretty bad honestly
does no damage
Sorry I disagree.. you can’t blame your spawn camping on gajin.. it might exist but you choose to fire into the spawn.. but hey that’s just me… still the first few games show cased the vehicle…
I also disagree with that. Gaijin has shown that they are able to fix spawn camping. The maps have been like this for literal years with no changes. It's part of the strategy now.
@@ryanberry_ but you missed my point..the exploit exists but you don't have to use it but you do and you highlighted it for others. Should gajin fix it ..of course but you made the choice to spawn camp right from the start .
This would have been extremely good if it was russian.
Day 2 of asking for AZUR:)))
