Little trick with the waffetrager, it appears to have better gun depression in reverse and you can use the forward gears to fall back quickly into cover between shots.
its not that it has better depression in reverse, its just the front has two bumps on it where the front two crew sit that their heads fit into. those two bumps reduce the depression. but if you're off to the side of either of them, or right in the middle of them, you get your full depression. all that said, reversing over hills keeps the driver and codriver safer, reduces the finnekyness of dealing with those humps entirely, and recently they fixed the transmission in reverse so you can actually pivot and position relatively quickly while backing up. generally something worth overlooking for almost every tank, but for the waffletractor it was a HUGE buff.
Watching Phly painstaking try to make it back to base with a disabled aircraft is one of the under-appreciated best parts of these videos! So much tension every time
I love the Waffenträger. Not because I think it's particularly good, but because it feels so rewarding to get a kill. The way it nearly tips over from recoil after every shot. And how it obliterates when it hits...
I agree with you on that @marceldornier. Even though I haven't unlocked the Waffentrager yet. Seeing Phly ammorack that M41A1 Bulldog goes to show how potent a German 88mm cannon can be especially when it catches a light tank off guard and obliterates it with a single shot straight through the side armor. There's probably as many variants of the Bulldog in War Thunder as the number of Sherman variants in the game lol.
Welcome back Phly Back to business: My Request: Btw i saw you have the M48 Suuuuuuuuuuper but you didn't even made one vid about it so why don't you do M48 Super aka Go-Kart Patton (at least in arcade PvE🙃) And because you want to play a combination take the IL-28 out with its FAB 3000 for some multikills Day: 174 -no Phly Decal -Tigor between the 2 Christmas decos
*Begin Transmssion* Day 75. The 88mm KwK 43. The gun that was made to counter bigger allied guns like the 17-pdr, the Russian 85mm. Did you know the 90mm T15E1 of the T26E4 Super Pershing was built to counter it? Welp, it did counter it on at least two occasions. That’s why Phly should play it. *End Transmission*
Phly, you've brought back the "Everybody" intro right? Well, there has been a certain song kinda stuck _In My Head_ phor a while that you could also bring back! Attempt # 592 The song i mean is Virtual Riot - In My Head (feat. PRXZM)
@@lewislaws6770 the firebrand's flaps, while being gigantic and having substantial separation from the wings while deployed, are not parallel to the wing, like the firefly's. This is why i chose the firefly for the biplane comparison
Something great about PhilDailys intros is that it just flows. I don't want to skip it and enjoy it compared to other youtubers intro which are just boring.
Classic "ground" battles. Both teams rush the spawn instead of the Cap, then there's 5 planes up on one team in 5 minutes because you can bring 30mm cannon CAS with only one kill.
The upside down Christmas stocking looks like Dr Seuss Cat in the Hat is a crew member from a distance The intro music was sick and as always great game play and video
Generally turreted tank destroyers are better. also it has -8 and not like -4/-5 like the Nashorn and is way smaller as well (at least when it comes to height). Also the waffenträger is pretty stable on roads if I remember correctly. And I remember that (at least for me) it had a tendency to let russian 122mm shells pass straight through your sides with no spall or damage. I remember hearing 3 or 4 122mm shells hitting me in a row while doing absolutely nothing and just confusing me as nothing happened. I remember being like "what just hit me" and just general confusion because nothing was damaged, especially if you have 10mm of armour and being an open top. Edit (1): forgot about the camouflage value. It is like 70%.
At 5.7 BR VFW has same gun but with less than half the reload rate of 4 seconds (aced crew) and much much better mobility with Panzer iv chassis. At this point monkeys set BR for vehicles at Gaijin HQ.
the waffentrager is a higher br because its one of the few german tanks that isnt the size of a barn with a good gun. its low slung, so it can hide and snipe. since ALL german tanks need to hide and snipe, being smaller gives it an advantage and thusly, a higher win rate.
Don't know if you know of Defyn and his "rate our replay"-segments, but it would actually be really interesting to se his commentary to your dogfight with that F4U! Send those two little minutes in... would be really cool. Have a speedy recovery!
I don't think it is actually underrated, it is a hans with a big KANNON but at 5.7 CAS is just soo present and much more powerful than the low tier CAS, and not only that all american tanks have .50 cal which can rip through it at any distance or most distances, and anything with more than 50g of explosive that hits is almost certain to kill you or critically damage you. And the fact that it is soo slow is just hard to get to sniping positions early in the match and to run from CAS and try to hide behind a building or something.
Can you plz bring out the long 90mm American cannon on the T32 non-E1? The E1 hasn't been on the channel in years and the non-E1 hasn't been on the channel at all.
i have covered this entire things sides near the Turret and on the Front of the Turret so i can back out from a Bush but still see the target without being easily spotted, and i have gotten a LOT of hate from people because of it lol.
Really enjoying the cinematic dogfight sequences. Great work!
That duel at 16:00 of the video is just amazing. Respect to him to take Phly on and put up a good fight.
Honestly surprised more people are mentioning. One of the most beautiful, cinematic dogfights I've ever seen in any format.
Little trick with the waffetrager, it appears to have better gun depression in reverse and you can use the forward gears to fall back quickly into cover between shots.
Not only that you keep the driver and the assistant driver protected and the rear fuel tanks work as armour.
its not that it has better depression in reverse, its just the front has two bumps on it where the front two crew sit that their heads fit into. those two bumps reduce the depression. but if you're off to the side of either of them, or right in the middle of them, you get your full depression.
all that said, reversing over hills keeps the driver and codriver safer, reduces the finnekyness of dealing with those humps entirely, and recently they fixed the transmission in reverse so you can actually pivot and position relatively quickly while backing up. generally something worth overlooking for almost every tank, but for the waffletractor it was a HUGE buff.
So its an archer
I use that method
Then boom, Tim rockets
Need more of those cinematic dogfights Steve, those were amazing!
16:00 That took me by suprise. Those sound effects and that great fight! instantly was like i was watching a movie. 🤣
That first landing with the bf109 was crazy 😭
that dogfight was fucking epic
“I shouldn’t pursue but that sound was so sounding!” Absolutely priceless Phly!😂😂😂
man whoever edit your videos... he needs a raise
Day 3 of asking Phly to play the Scharnhorst again...
Can you switch to Alaska please?
@@zohaibtariq7351 why Not both?😂
Nein. Tiger first
@@kinglew0773 i can play tiger on my own, but i still need 200 k XP for Scharnhorst 😐

That kill at 5:00 was straight out of a movie

I dunno, I’d say it’s pretty good
I love the Waffenträger. Not because I think it's particularly good, but because it feels so rewarding to get a kill. The way it nearly tips over from recoil after every shot. And how it obliterates when it hits...
Yeah but the repair costs were way to expensive back in the day for a non premium AB guy.
It was very satisfying to get some from the air.

God, the sound of the Mine rounds exploding on impact in that dogfight insane 🙌🏻
That was a great dogfight that Corsair guy is definitely an air RBer. Both great planes for sure.
We need more Tank Phonk edits
then ban me on my youtube channel AKmeek quality edits come out every day

Damm that dogfight made my shiver!Amazing fight Phly!
The air fight was phenomenal 👏
I really don’t care about planes, but that dog fight was intense.
Best dog fight ever
That pilot was on controller on too lol beautiful dogfight
I would like to see a video about the Chi-Ri II
whoa, was not expecting that epic intro lol, Well done!!

The phly cinematic dog fights just get me
Cinematics on point. What a great dogfight!
1:55 I always get sad on the map because I'm from Cologne.

Attempt # 592
The song i mean is Virtual Riot - In My Head (feat. PRXZM)
Phly, the phirephly (either variant) is the only aircraft that can transform from a monoplane to a "biplane" (by using combat phlaps). Day 22
Firebrand has the same flaps my man
@@lewislaws6770 the firebrand's flaps, while being gigantic and having substantial separation from the wings while deployed, are not parallel to the wing, like the firefly's. This is why i chose the firefly for the biplane comparison
Those dogfights in air RB are the best.

Bro the lil intro worth the phonk😩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That 1v1 18:02 was awesome and rare these days in gaming 👌 but when the moment comes, it's a nut 😂😂😂😂
5:02 was insane
Love the Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 music plug there 😂
As a new player to war thunder, thank you Phly for that perfect demo of how to do a aerial combat.
it's amazing how much your intro goes with alcohol wasted peoples it goes xD
Webe saucing up the aircraft combat audio these last few videos has been 👨🍳💋
The upside down Christmas stocking looks like Dr Seuss Cat in the Hat is a crew member from a distance

That thing on an open map with a good player behind it would obliterate the enemy
I feel like the low profile and a turret is the reason for it to be at 5.7. Since few players use it, it sits at 5.7.
That fight with f4u was epic at 16:00 minutes.
that f4u fight was more intense then any marvel movie
the waffentrager is a higher br because its one of the few german tanks that isnt the size of a barn with a good gun. its low slung, so it can hide and snipe. since ALL german tanks need to hide and snipe, being smaller gives it an advantage and thusly, a higher win rate.
My best SIM game was on the waffentrager.
Stoped all the enemys that were on our cap. And pushed them back. Giving room for my team.
“That sound was so soundy” lmao
Opening cinematics never miss.
The long 88 is honestly my favorite gun in the game. 1000m/s high pen with APHE. I just wish it was in something fast.
Try the panther II
Waff has smaller profile for better stealth and better turret range, much less limited rotation.
The phonk edit at the beginning was beautiful
Loving the new style of your videos
That dogfight was top tier props to both you and the enemy had an amazing skill fight
Still the best dogfight from the ,,loving the unloved ,,P40 video 🎉🎉
Don't know if you know of Defyn and his "rate our replay"-segments, but it would actually be really interesting to se his commentary to your dogfight with that F4U! Send those two little minutes in... would be really cool. Have a speedy recovery!
Hey, nice video! (as always). BUT in German it's der Waffenträger, so it's a man (he/him)!!!!
JFC - I live for the new edit style of your dogfights... GD thrilling :)
Some good ol Horton and tiger 2 ground poundage would be appreciated!
I really like the short but expressive Phonk-Daily Intro 🤭.
Can't wait for phly to pronounce the German names of the Sturmtiger and Maus
man, seeing german tank destroyer vehicles always makes me wish the IV/70(a) would return
Depression in War Thunder is the only time i like having lots of it
My personal favorit about the Waffenträger is that when going backwards it's almost like a stabilized gun
Ah yes, the waffle tractor
that dogfight was so epic
Ma man's playing the waffle tragedy XD would be a good cartoon name.... "Waffle tragedy"
Looks like a low effort Lego tank thrown together from leftovers
Damn the sound of them enemy planes sounds SERIOUS....
really enjoying the new phonkdaily vibes
Day 84, we've seen the Sturmtiger and ASU-57 at top tier, Now we want to se the RBT-5 at top tier WITH OddBawz and Spookston.
I don't think it is actually underrated, it is a hans with a big KANNON but at 5.7 CAS is just soo present and much more powerful than the low tier CAS, and not only that all american tanks have .50 cal which can rip through it at any distance or most distances, and anything with more than 50g of explosive that hits is almost certain to kill you or critically damage you.

I hate thhat theyre both the same BR.
WeBe bringing the ABSOLUTE spice to these dogfights
They prolly think the loader doesn't battle carry a round in his arms. Ready to load immediately after firing
Tbh they need to add crew animation like loading or binoculars or even crew death animations
@@ahmad_masalk840they can’t add death animations…
@@Crawdoodle y
@@ahmad_masalk840 it would make the game rating to mature
❤ to the editor, goated
If this thing could go 50km it would be a viable vehicle, but it's lack of hp kills it
pretty much slower then the nashorn worse depression then the emil garbage Armour compared to the jagpanther Germany has much better alternatives
Day one it may start at one but one is something I wish for you to do the super Pershing it's great at its rateing but is hard to maneuver
you sounded a little under the weather, hope you get well soon or its only allergies! much love from germany
Got enough guns on that BF?! 😂
6:26 thats what she said.
Amazing air battle!!!
This intro is fire 🔥
This tank have magnet to the CAS.
Also this tank have huge scope that very use in longmap
Thank god! I've been waiting for this video, I'm a waffetrager player, been playing this tank for 5yrs, i dont like high br.
it can slap MBTs at 9.0 if u get side hull shots, and they dont have skirt armor depending on range
Let’s gooo it took me 3 days to ask phly to play the waffentrager
i have covered this entire things sides near the Turret and on the Front of the Turret so i can back out from a Bush but still see the target without being easily spotted, and i have gotten a LOT of hate from people because of it lol.
Beautiful landing phly
I’m one of those German mains well, listening to music in a German tank
Total Annihilation sounds incoming at 3:05!
Continuing to do 10 squats for every kill Phly gets
Do t62 next
Your flying skills are amazing!
Of course they are, he does it daily after all
