They really have to buff the digging so you can make a functioning enough trench in 3 passes, max. Cuz otherwise it just takes too much time and by the time you make a good trench the match just ends or you die, twice.
This plus fixing the terrain vibration bug, which will help more of the game besides just diggy diggy hole, would make the plows viable. Not the best solution on every map or every firefight but a viable solution to some problems to have in your toolbox.

I've actually had moderate success in the Chieftain. It's not my best vehicle at 8.3, but I do better with it than the Olifant. It's true though, that you can't be seen at all in that thing unless it's only one person, and you saw them first and are able to shoot them first. Unfortunately, the Olifant is an even worse case of "you can't even be seen because they WILL pen".
Took out the Chieftain Mk3. Had an atgm penetrate 4 ft of dirt, penetrate the dozer blade, the hull, shoot back towards the entry point, then bounce back to the interior of the tank killing the crew... Very useful update.
Chieftan should be 7.3-7.7 with the Leopard its counterpart. Leopard was 1965 and the Chieftan 1966 if I remember correctly. Its armor is just no longer effective enough for 8.3 let alone its speed.
I love how useless the digging mechanic is. The amount of time the devs spent on developing this wonderful feature would've been better spent on br decompression and other stuff.
I prefer they implement it like this where it’s weak and they can tune it up slowly rather than implement it broken as all hell making any vehicles with a dozer blade activate god mode by using it
Of course it would be best if it was properly balanced when it’s introduced but out of the 2 non balanced sides of it I prefer it to be on the weaker side
Digging fighting holes takes time and is for defensive purposes. I don't really see the practicality of trying to dig a fighting hole for a tank in this game. You just don't have the time to do it effectively. I will say, it is rather amusing and entertaining to watch Phly do it though.
After about 2 years of playing this game, and having the chieftains be in my top 13 most played tanks, i can ensure there is two types of players in this game: the ones that can make the chieftain work and the ones that can't
I remember a cheeky JU87D-3 bombing me with a 1k kg bomb but forgot to set the timer to like.. 2 secs and had it set to 10, the panic then calmness of me just casually reversing away lol
Day 78: Phly, you should play the Hawk III Chinese fighter; 900lbs of bombs in a biplane at 1.0 that you can dogfight in after dropping. Totally balanced.
@@dylanholven6375 do you know nothing Dylan? The bf-109 is a jet fighter. It fights and it's a jet so I called it a jet fighter. I don't care if that's technically not right because it's what I called it.
hey phly i got a little question, ik the video is old but i don't know how to limit my game to 60fps, i've checked the setting and i couldn't find the setting for that, in the garage i have 144fps and in matches sometimes flies above 200fps ik that lowers the lifespan of my video card
Keep in mind they brought the Chieftain Mk5 up to 8.7...... the same BR as the TAM 2IP. And it gets DM33 105mm, and a Laser rangefinder, and its faster, but it got raised cause....... reasons.
Don't worry Phly, there's an even higher BR bulldozer tank for you! The Type 90, if I remember right, also gets one Funnily enough the Bravo variant doesn't despite having the mounts for it unlike the regular Type 90
Great showcasing of how pointless the game is when the huge tier difference matches happen. Is this ever going to be adequatelly worked upon and fixed by Gaijin? (Personally 8/10 matches are with enemies +1.0BR above mine)
Phly, you gotta dig at twice your length and at least 1 1/2 times your width. The best method is to actually do a 3 point turn over 90 degrees and then sitting in the middle. Also, I don't use this feature to dig shooting positions. I create tank traps and alter shooting lanes to keep people from running up on me or my teammates
Hey had an idea for the scout vehicles. How about a slow timer that when you activate it ticks down until, bingo! CAMOFLAGE NETTING. made to suit the map. So desert has beige sand netting or grass and trees have the typical military green with leaves etc. Make it so with some skill you can hide yourself from someone not paying full attention. Id love to be able to almost dissapear and wait for a perfect side shot as the enemy trundles past blissfully unaware 🤣
Phloppywoppy, dig a hole with the STRV 103 (if it's even possible doing so with it in WT). I'm curious to see how flat its silhouette is, and whether the only thing sticking out of the mound would be the gun barrel
Use the dozer on the strv103C, must useless vehicle its on. Cant hull aim when its deployed, If you manage to dig and stay behind it your entire vehicle just vibrates and it makes you bust Its truely a great gimmick
As an engineer in the army, we use bulldozers to make tank hides similar to what you were attempting to do but just deeper so the Abrams can completely conceal itself pop up and fire and then go right back into the hide. The fact that you can’t dig the trench deep enough to fully conceal yourself literally makes this mechanic a useless gimmick
what we really need is some retro bulldozers with maybe a rifle mount at reserve to utilize the update there are still some tanks that it could kill and they can add a bunch of stuff to them to make it really gimmicky like the sea mine as a deployable mine and some smoke grenades and maybe launcher
I think low tier will benefit alot more from going hull down, because armor meta still kinda is a thing there. At high tier you are far better off with straight mobility and the advantage of suprise. Hoping they will expand it to other vehicles next patch.
Hah! I knew I saw you in a Hurtgen Forest 3 cap domination. I saw the Chieftain and did a drive by in my Class 3 (P). Saw the shovel and was like, yuuuup he's making a digging video. The poor man.
You really have to curb your expectations as a brit tanker, don't expect to one shot everything, you have to casually dismantle whilst hoping they don't call for backup, it gets better at the higher tiers but god is it a fun leech at times.
Watching you makes me want to play this again. Until I actually play and die constantly. I swear it used to be a LOT easier. I was only 3.7 BR too. It's crazy how good people get that this is now super frustrating.
