Full disclosure, I ground out most of the Chinese mediums in World of Tanks because the T-34-1 looks cool as fuck. It's like someone took a T-34 hull, squished it some, and slapped a T-54 turret on it. Nevermind the paper-thin hull, to hell with the gun handling, it looks cool.
Honestly, I like the T-44 more than the IS-2 and T-44-100. BR is too compressed for T-44-100 to be reliably fun, and IS-2 has a big ass forehead on the hull plus long reload time. T-44 is just a fun tank to run around in, on top of having a reliable frontal armour to bounce conventional rounds.
@Matheus Aguiar admittedly at the time of this video it was at 6.3 and was still able to avoid the 7.7 horde and stick to 6.3/6.7 where it could still perform. With it now being at 6.7 this is no longer the case
@Matheus Aguiar how would you buff it lol, it has an 85mm cannon and already has the upgraded shells, there is not really a firepower buff that can be given to the t44.
How to have fun in PT(SD)-76: 1. go to Battle, while hoping to get a map with some sort of water 2. curse at the matchmaking for giving a map without any body of water 3. go into another Battle 4. Finally got a map with water, spawn with PT(SD)-76 play Soviet March Bass Boosted while doing an amphibious invasion 5. Profit
I did well with the PT(SD)-76 once on Mozdok the extra large version where I went to the Souther flank on the map and just sniped away at 1300 meters away and over pressuring every open top vehicle I see with HeatFS and I managed to use all of my HEATFS and got 6 kills and 9 assist using the scout ability to deal with heavier tanks.
46:36 Just to add something to the IS-2 Revenge : If you bush it up , many people mistake it to be an ordinary 5.7 IS-2, because of the missing roof mounted 12.7mm, so it can be very trolly.

I just got into War Thunder after several years of hiatus and I found your channel incredibly helpful for giving me run down of these tanks. You're amazing!
Where to shoot tips with pt76b: Shoot tiger 2 in back off the turret, there’s a ammo rack. Most of German tanks have small ammo rack in the front left of the hull, right above the tracks. Centurions on the left side, next to the driver. Many people don’t shoot here for some reason so I thought I’d share.
@@goddepersonno3782 Hang on, you have an invulnerable British lineup??? At any BR??? My Brit tanks must have magnets on the ammo racks, helps enemy rounds one shot me properly every time...
The weakspot you mentioned for the Tiger II is kinda irrelevant bcz who would want to expose their sides anyway To ammorack it head on: (P): Shoot at the flat part of the cheeks. 96% ammorack chance (H): Shoot on the cheeks just a little above the turret ring. The ammorack chance is significantly lower since the mantlet is insanely thicc. And since the ammo is seperated from each other irl it should help if a single ammo detonated. However that is not how ammo detonation works in WT. In WT, 1 ammo detonate=flying turret As a bonus: Shoot the Tiger H1 and E at the upper frontal left corner of the hull (right if you are head on). Approx.60% chance of ammoracking. Tbh the H1 and E has tons of spots to be one shot by something like a Pak 43,KwK 36 or any gun with similar caliber/pen. Some of them are: -Driver view slit -Hull MG Port -Turret ring (rare) -Mantlet in some random spots (lucky)
The Air Raider it isn’t really irrelevant. Have you ever heard of the good ol’ flankeru? But to be serious, in you play the maps well there’s a high chance you catch a tiger off guard. If you catch the turret pointed left or right at a 45 degree angle you can still shoot the ammo rack.
also wheraboos tend to carry an insane ammount of ammo due to thinking their tank armor is invulnerable. Unfortunately with the PT i had a LOT of times where a heat would go straight throuhg the ammo rack and somehow not cause the enemy to explode.
The reload on the pt-76 was a dealbreaker for me. So often would i shoot a panther and kill his gunner just for him to have a new gunner and shoot me before i can even reload
It can do alright if you find a good spot at range since the gun is really good and easy to aim. Also for some reason it gets scouting mechanics as well so keep that in mind.
the ASU-85 can some times eat a shot. i played only one match so far with it and got shot by a Jumbo with the 76.2mm gun and it didn't pen. AT 200 METERS.
even tho' I have stopped playing war thunder - I still watch, enjoy, and appreciate the amount of work that goes into these videos. thank you for taking the time.
Same here. I really don't like the trajectory the game's been going the past couple of years (_especially_ the penetration rework that shafted so many low-tier tanks and saddled them with blatantly ahistorical values, and Gaijin's smugness about not giving a shit that they're actively making their own game worse, that can go right to hell), but I find these videos so incredibly entertaining. I really enjoy this style, and Oxy's calm, smooth voice, I watch these mainly just for the sake of the videos themselves.
Amazing scripts, amazing visuals, amazing content. I am so happy PhlyDaily mentioned you, because otherwise, I would've missed out on this amazing stuff. Keep doing you man, I love all of your videos. ^^
I hear you recommend the IS-2 as a long-range tank. I hear the words of a heretic. For realsies though, I get what you mean and I agree. I just find it way more fun to be a 122 boomstick up close c:
@@voughklry8362 it’s incredible I remember killing 2 panthers and a tiger 2 by hiding behind a rock close range and shooting them and then retreating back with the busted reverse speed
The ASU-85 has a super ‘bouncy’ spot on the center horizontal part of the hull. I keep bouncing leopard, and panther shots from it at relatively low angles.
if you do, please consider taking a break. Do another series/one-off videos or just take some time off. I'm not you, but I'd think doing the same formula over and over can burn you out. Have a good one!
Hey! I was thinking, since most of the "different" chinese vehicles are rank 5 and up and that there aren't many to cover (yet), I suppose you could consider putting them in a "honourable mentions" sort of scheme. The Type 59 for instance is just your regular T-54 1951 but with a vertical stabiliser. The issue is, of course, that you'd stray away from the main topic, which is to talk about Russian tanks...
That would be a great idea, but they already made the tech tree, changing it to this will be messy for those people who spend their time researching many copy and paste tanks.
You're absolutely right about the IS-2. I just unlocked it recently and even stock, I've had tiger IIs back off when I push corners. The fear of that 122 is real.
The T-44-100 is honestly my favourite tank in the game with over 400 kills and only around 100 deaths. Just play it carefully and you can be a monster even at full uptier.
Oxy gives personality to analysis and information which is hard to do. Bravo! Well done! I have a playlist for each of these when I get to a specific tank
I will add this here since I haven't seen a comment about it. The PT 76 recently had a buff and reload speed is now 6.5 seconds on basic, so it's somewhat better now.
I found the IS-2 Revenge to actually be a very decent premium if you bush up the UFP. Most people differentiate between the standard IS-2 and mod.44 by the Roof mounted DSHK, since the Revenge lacks it you will find a lot of people will shoot centre of mass thinking you're the standard IS-2 with no real armour, only for their shell to be eaten by the UFP.
Love watching these videos, because despite not going to play Russia anytime soon, I'm always able to learn how to beat these tanks you cover and learn how they are going to try and kill me.
Of the vehicles in this video, I presently have the T-34-85, standard T-44, standard IS-2, PT-76B, ZSU-37, and am presently researching the IS-2 mod. 1944. I have also rented the T-34-100 and found it enjoyable at the time.
The thing is about the ASU-85 is that it was made in a age where autocannons exist on stuff like IFVs so that explains the around 100mm of armour and the IFV is the strongest thing it will face otherwise it is just reserves and APCs that is because it is meant for paratroopers this thing does its job irl very well and could defend from a tank attack but that is mostly kept to the infantry this was made as heavy equipment for paratroopers and was quite common in that role as paratroopers always had ASU-85s
Nice rewatching this all this time later. I finally have the IS-2-44 and am more comfortable with the game as a whole. Almost have the T-44 looking forward to that. Thanks for this.
Yes. I just started playing sim and it's very good. If you're a realistic player sim is not that hard. I had a bad match with 1 kill in tier 3 but I ended up getting 3.000 rp. Edit: It wasn't a bad match I just didn't see any enemies.(Ground forces)
Most important thing, near nonexistent CAS, and even then they can only do so many maneuvers making them easy targets for (unhistorically) accurate gunfire.
I have a major problem with the T34 100, it never existed nor could exist, yet Gaijin kept it in the game while getting rid of the Coelian, Tiger II 105, and Panther II due to the same reasons of not existing. They also never removed the Ho Ri Production and the prototype was very similar to the Coelian where it was mainly a mockup.
Oxy can you do a map guide series on the best sniping camping spots how you found them and the ideas of capture points for instance take control of bravo in Karelia to snipe the enemy home point
@@Aubbin I even forgot, awesome! I was going to suggest USA as well. With so many "Copy Pasta" vehicles it will help more trees then just the USA tree.
Great vid as always, but I just wanted to point something out about the IS-6. Despite not grinding T5 at max effectiveness, it still will grind T5 decently well. Plus, all the bouncing you get in downtiers translates into a fair amount of easy RP.
So bit of an update for anyone new hoping in here, the T-44 was moved up to a BR of 6.7 in tank RB so lineups might get up tiered harder if you run it with the the recommended lineup. That lineup will still work wonders though
Quick Note for the T34-85. Due to hits Higher BR and chance of facing later production Kingtigers etc, the APCR round is a viable pick for secondary ammunitions.OF course, a flanking playstyle is always to be preferred, but in emergency situations, the apcr an be usedto disable a heavy enemy from the front and buy time to either rush or flank around.
Tip on especially Jungle and Alaska with the pt, always try to do something with the water. For example, try to get to an island or rock to scout and shoot from. It’s very fun, and also rewarding because the enemies don’t expect you there at all. I’ve had great fun and success with this.
Blue screens while USB is plugged in? I recommend reinstalling your chipset and motherboard drivers, if that doesn't help, motherboard is borked and needs replacing. Motherboards alone aren't that expensive, just make sure the socket fits your current CPU.
Soviet 122 is most ridiculous thing ever. Manages to pen if you blindly shoot somewhere to enemy direction but cannot pen if you actually try to aim weak spots.
I would really like to see a change to the matchmaker where you can only fight vehicles 2 BR places away from you, e.g. a 2.3 can only fight 1.7-3.0. This would make the game so much fairer, especially for heavy tanks.
While the majority of players are set to RB mode, for the AB crowd I can wholeheartedly recommend the T44-122. It is UNQUESTIONABLY the best medium tank in the game. If I could create the perfect line up, it would be Tiger II, M26E1, and the T44-122. It's simply an outstanding tank.
OMG! Those Sovjet Hits! Pens heavy angled surface like butter. Ive never pen a Panthers front turret with my T34. And is there a trick out there to match against those brainless enemies the T44-100 had? Btw: great Videos! Love them all! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
27:42 whenever i rewatch this video im astonished oxy doesnt die here, like how? 2 german tanks shooting multiple times and nothing more than engine, couple crew and fire if that was me the single machinegun pellet the panther fired would have hit the ammorack
T-44-100 is my arcade favourite. It offers serious APHE with short reload, good mobility with also super trolly armor. The only tough tanks are soviet heavies
20:42 "You can hull break these vehicles effortlessly." I tried so and I ended up bouncing a HEATFS off the front plate of a M18. I even uploaded it here because it was so funny and rage inducing.
The IS 6 was one of the tanks i got in a pack that was never put on sale again. Sporting the amx 13 ss11, strv 81 ss11, and T29 along it, for only 50 euros and relative golden eagles and premium account associated, was the best bargain i ever saw by gaijin
Also, i would suggest the il10 1949 too for planes. Sure the rockets and bombload are lackluster, but the sheer volume of fire of the quad 23mm , even with only 29mm of pen often let you get kills and assist with ease. Also planes that dare to engage with you will most likely get mauled either by your primary 23mm or from the 20mm turret in the back.
Late to the party, but at least from my experience the T34-85’s frontal armor is actually quite reliable when you’re not in an uptier- it rivals that of a head-on tiger I once you account for the sloping. Don’t rely on it, but it is definitely above average for a medium tank. The sides and back are still relatively easy to penetrate, though.
Yak-3U, the La-7s, and La-9 are good if you want a fighter for air superiority CAS, they handily outperform almost every prop at low altitude, and the La-9 can dive fast enough to catch those annoying Me262s in dives.
Russian Tier IV Premiums in a nutshell:

You missed the most important thing about the T-44.
It's so sleek, looks like a 80's wedge sports car turned into a tank lmao.
Full disclosure, I ground out most of the Chinese mediums in World of Tanks because the T-34-1 looks cool as fuck. It's like someone took a T-34 hull, squished it some, and slapped a T-54 turret on it. Nevermind the paper-thin hull, to hell with the gun handling, it looks cool.
Argh now I can't unsee it!! I'm gonna accidentally call the thing a Countach or something! Damn you!!
It’s is too, extremely fast.
This means that in cqc you can ram tanks and push them upward, giving you a clear shot. This tactic has saved my ass a lot of times
Aesthetics is an often over looked factor in these lists. Everyone wants to look good while burying the enemy.
T-44: "It's amazing, get it, only suffers in uptiers"
Also T-44: 97.9% of games are uptiers.
I got T44 and T-44 100 and i must say that i have to move back to IS-2 and ISU 52 to enjoy the game and not suffering from uptiers
Honestly, I like the T-44 more than the IS-2 and T-44-100. BR is too compressed for T-44-100 to be reliably fun, and IS-2 has a big ass forehead on the hull plus long reload time. T-44 is just a fun tank to run around in, on top of having a reliable frontal armour to bounce conventional rounds.

@@Aubbin I even forgot, awesome! I was going to suggest USA as well. With so many "Copy Pasta" vehicles it will help more trees then just the USA tree.
Oxy: “You might be struggling with the Tiger II”
Me uptier with a T-34-57 killing 3 tiger II’s: “Am I a joke to you?”
You only can face Tiger 1s with an T-34-57...
Não Sei 2.0 I had a T-34-85 in my lineup and got up tier
Great vid as always, but I just wanted to point something out about the IS-6. Despite not grinding T5 at max effectiveness, it still will grind T5 decently well. Plus, all the bouncing you get in downtiers translates into a fair amount of easy RP.
So bit of an update for anyone new hoping in here, the T-44 was moved up to a BR of 6.7 in tank RB so lineups might get up tiered harder if you run it with the the recommended lineup. That lineup will still work wonders though
What a beautiful job you made here mate!! Success for you.
Oh I have been waiting for this!
Quick Note for the T34-85. Due to hits Higher BR and chance of facing later production Kingtigers etc, the APCR round is a viable pick for secondary ammunitions.OF course, a flanking playstyle is always to be preferred, but in emergency situations, the apcr an be usedto disable a heavy enemy from the front and buy time to either rush or flank around.
Oxy: the T-34-100 is a glass cannon
Me: *bounced a shell from a T28*
I love the T-34-100 so much, its a great tank
Tip on especially Jungle and Alaska with the pt, always try to do something with the water. For example, try to get to an island or rock to scout and shoot from. It’s very fun, and also rewarding because the enemies don’t expect you there at all. I’ve had great fun and success with this.
Blue screens while USB is plugged in? I recommend reinstalling your chipset and motherboard drivers, if that doesn't help, motherboard is borked and needs replacing. Motherboards alone aren't that expensive, just make sure the socket fits your current CPU.
I really hated the T-44, the 85mm just doesn't work that high and there's no point to the decent front plate when your mantlet is made from tin foil.
Soviet 122 is most ridiculous thing ever. Manages to pen if you blindly shoot somewhere to enemy direction but cannot pen if you actually try to aim weak spots.
One of the best guides I've seen.
38:40 that m4 sheet himself
Finally! This was a particularly long-awaited video for me...
I would really like to see a change to the matchmaker where you can only fight vehicles 2 BR places away from you, e.g. a 2.3 can only fight 1.7-3.0. This would make the game so much fairer, especially for heavy tanks.
While the majority of players are set to RB mode, for the AB crowd I can wholeheartedly recommend the T44-122. It is UNQUESTIONABLY the best medium tank in the game. If I could create the perfect line up, it would be Tiger II, M26E1, and the T44-122. It's simply an outstanding tank.
Hey I hope all is well! I just found your content and it looks like you had stopped posting 10 months ago
*Scouts through the wall*
Gaijin:seems legit
47:05 luckly i got discount that make IS-2 Revenge Prize from 7,480 to around 500
Great work like always, thx
OMG! Those Sovjet Hits! Pens heavy angled surface like butter. Ive never pen a Panthers front turret with my T34. And is there a trick out there to match against those brainless enemies the T44-100 had? Btw: great Videos! Love them all! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
27:42 whenever i rewatch this video im astonished oxy doesnt die here, like how? 2 german tanks shooting multiple times and nothing more than engine, couple crew and fire
if that was me the single machinegun pellet the panther fired would have hit the ammorack
T-44-100 is my arcade favourite. It offers serious APHE with short reload, good mobility with also super trolly armor. The only tough tanks are soviet heavies
"short" reload
Brilliant video, cheers!
The t 34-85 is best used as a light tank with its filler that can also bounce a few shots occasionally
Love your vids! I can listen to you talking for hours while studying xd
Another great video. please keep this up.
Oxy: Russia has a great 6.3 lineup
Me: laughs in FIAT 6614 HESH and HEAT rounds
great video btw, top quality as always :D
Yeah that thing is super fun . I use it with my 7.7 lineup
The T-44 is fun to play, but without premium, the 6,000 SL repair cost is hard to overcome if you are bad at the game, like me.
Does the T-34-85 really have “good firepower” for a 5.7 vehicle? Especially considering that this is the same Br as the Panther A?
Don't compare anything 5.7 to a Panther lol it's obviously undertiered.
Good fire power doesnt mean a vehicle needs to point and click, just enough to deal with tanks with adequate aim.
Is it just me or I'm the only one invulnerable to the KV2 syndrome
I literally charge if they mess their shot at killing me
I just had the thought that it would be absolutely great if you would upload today, looks like my intuition is high today.
for the t-44, i think you forgot to mention the more bouncy suspension it has, which can screw up snapshots
20:42 "You can hull break these vehicles effortlessly."
I tried so and I ended up bouncing a HEATFS off the front plate of a M18. I even uploaded it here because it was so funny and rage inducing.
Excited for Tier V. Currently almost out of the hell hole that is BR 7.0-8.0
The IS 6 was one of the tanks i got in a pack that was never put on sale again.
Sporting the amx 13 ss11, strv 81 ss11, and T29 along it, for only 50 euros and relative golden eagles and premium account associated, was the best bargain i ever saw by gaijin
Also, i would suggest the il10 1949 too for planes.
Sure the rockets and bombload are lackluster, but the sheer volume of fire of the quad 23mm , even with only 29mm of pen often let you get kills and assist with ease.
Also planes that dare to engage with you will most likely get mauled either by your primary 23mm or from the 20mm turret in the back.
Late to the party, but at least from my experience the T34-85’s frontal armor is actually quite reliable when you’re not in an uptier- it rivals that of a head-on tiger I once you account for the sloping. Don’t rely on it, but it is definitely above average for a medium tank. The sides and back are still relatively easy to penetrate, though.
I remember when the is6 was at 6,7 oh boi those were the good ol days
Those were literally and objectively the exact opposite of the good ol days.
Yak-3U, the La-7s, and La-9 are good if you want a fighter for air superiority CAS, they handily outperform almost every prop at low altitude, and the La-9 can dive fast enough to catch those annoying Me262s in dives.
