@@slouchygames1923 The 75mm around the BRs it normally fights is great and the 76mm is amazing. I get so many one shot side shots and it reloads quicker than the German or Russian guns AND you almost always get the first shot

5:50 after the end of the US tree and the Addendum, I vote we get a video that's just Oxy listing where to shoot on each tank to take out the driver and gunner
Most often its best to shoot right of the barrel first or through the turret ring. Alternatively disable the barrel. To imobelize I actually prefer aiming for tracks. Or wreck the gearbox if it's front mounted. Of course superior positionig will give you a shot at the biggest weakpoint.... the sides.
@@Darilon12 I mean Oxy did explain the general spots to aim for but I was more leaning into the fact that we like hours-long oxy videos (for example I’d love to get an annual/semiannual Addendum series where he talks about vehicles that have been added, BR changes and his new lineups, etc.) so one where he just goes over every driver/gunner shot would be welcome
The Stuarts in this tree are all seal-clubbers of the highest order when used by experienced players. I can't tell you how much fun I had going back and spading the old American (and British) lineups that I had previously only played for a short time. Stuarts are probably now my favorite reserve-tier tank in the entire game.
@@josephgraham3117 BTs are great, but they don't have stabilizers, and that can make all the difference most of the time. BTs are just faster with a punchier gun and APHE. Also extremely fun.
I actually think tank recognition could be very handy, specifically for Russian tanks in the upper tiers. Between 8.0 and 10.0, the US tiers I play somewhat the most, I have trouble sometimes differentiating the various soup-bowl turreted Russian MBTs.
When I was in Canadian Armoured Recce, training on enemy vehicle recognition was dominant so as a relatively new WT player, I'm interested in learning that recognition aspect in everything pre and post '70s and '80s. So, yes please. ;)
I like the idea of a tank identification guide. Being an exclusively high-top tier player now, I still quite like a good bit of seal clubbing myself and a guide like that would have some interesting tidbits of knowledge :3
Worth mentioning is that the F3F-2 keeps its speed like crazy for some reason. So much so that a worthy strategy is to fly into the battlefield, turn off the engine so that enemies don't hear you (essentially turning a plane into a glider), throw two bombs through the enemy hatch, and then run away before the enemies know what has happened. It's an incredibly fun style of play, and it can also be quite effective Ps: Ok, maybe not the speed. The lift. The lift is insane
I love your format. Over explain early so you can save time later is smart. Intro to game videos are tedious because they often repeat themselves and bore the viewer. 10/10 job
I love taking the M3 GMC into rank 3 where it's gun can still be used. It's good survivability, quiter truck engine and blocky (non-tank like) profile makes it double up as a good urban ambusher
The M22 is what I like to call, “the meme tank” you can do anything with it and you are almost guaranteed to have a laugh at the shenanigans it’ll pull off
Really infomative video Oxy, honestly I think gaijin should have these videos built in game so that new players can watch them for the contry they decide to start out with. Anyway, cheers m8!
A tank recognition guide would be very useful in distinguishing between different variants of the same tanks Oxy, especially for intermediate players who have already grasped the basics and are starting to learn about situational differences. Great idea!
Hey there Oxy. I just realized you don't have ground forces guides for Japan. Because they re so bad or because it'll come somewhere in the future ? Thx a lot, you're hell of a good teacher man o7
I would actually love a recognition guide. I tend to be a "Shoot the tank you see" kind of guy. If the first round doesn't pen then I either try again or go for the tracks...
I would like to see the addendum for the old line Reviews you made. In this case for the german ans british lines with updated lineups. Since these videos are now relatively old and a lot of things changes or got added
Hey Oxy, could you do Sweden next? There are many weird tanks and a lot of people are doing it now cause some tanks are op I guess. Like your content keep it up ❤
btw Oxy. the M13, M16, and M15... With Manual gear box, can hit 50-65km/h off-road the AI driver slows down the half-track quite alot and doesn't use the gears correctly. As a matter of fact. the Last forward gear shouldn't be used as it reduces the max speed quite a lot as it trades speed for a more steady ride. the second last gear forwards allows you to move more faster at the cost of being very unstable at speed. In other words, Manual gear control for the Early US AA's can pay off in the correct usage for rapid redeployment and getting the F out of there if needs be. ***P.S.*** It somewhat works similar in reverse...
26:10 Well played Oxy Oh, not in the game(which is also good), but for the fact that you put a clip of you literally dropping on an enemy while talking about it metaphorically Well played Oxy, well played...
24:04 "poor survivability" mfw most matches i play i see people literally struggling to kill the fat frog even when they're ganging up on the lvt but yes, i would like to see a guide on tank identifications, sometimes i struggle on differentiating between some russian tanks especially the modern T-series of tanks
@Gary 'Roach' Sanderson I started with America, switched to Germany and mained that for a while...started Russia at some point, then was playing British tanks just as they came out. All while playing planes as well. Now I've spread myself out between US, German, Russian, British, and Japanese tanks, US and German aircraft, and US, German, Russian, and Japanese bluewater fleet...yeah I play a lot of stuff, lol Been stuck at Tier 5 German tanks for years now, not because of struggle, but amount of new stuff. I had just gotten the Maus just before Tier 6 vehicles came out. I had skipped the medium tank line for the most part at that point, so I had to go back and grind up through that whole tree(spading as much as I can because that's what I do) by the time I was done with that, Tier 7 had been out I think. And everytime I'm about to move up into Tier 6 a new Tier 5 German vehicle comes out, this time the Marder. I could easily skip them, but the completionist in me won't, lol. I guess technically I finally have stepped into Tier 6 now though because I'm using the 8.3 M48 now. Sorry for random paragraphs of reminiscing, lol
I cant wait for him to cover rank 3. He will just be like: Yeah you are worse in every way compaired to the panther except for the stabilisor but every U.S. tank at this rank is like this (especialy because of gaijins completely unrealistic sherman engine nerf) you have no other choice so you have to play it.
You nailed the part about the M2A2 a lot of players often tend to forget that sometimes some vehicles are fairly better than others and altough it can be frustrating when you are starting you shouldnt really feel bad for "losing" against them, Instead you should focus on how to beat them despite the odds (Whenever possible as of course there are times you just cant) and enjoying that feeling when you do
M13 is great, I´ve had loads of fun - and kills with it. Much more used to fiftys than 20mm.. I barely shoot down aircraft with those.. Good analysis. Same with the M2A2 - I love it! Loads of fun tanks here - the M3 GMC is another fav, especially now that you can get a 6s reload - and not 10 as it used to be.. Very nice to knock stuff out with!

That thing can bounce dm53 like it’s nothing

two minutes in and ive already fucking lost it
why
I would love for you to cover the air trees as well with the same style, even though you are mostly a ground player.
When the world needed him the most, he came back.
I actually think tank recognition could be very handy, specifically for Russian tanks in the upper tiers. Between 8.0 and 10.0, the US tiers I play somewhat the most, I have trouble sometimes differentiating the various soup-bowl turreted Russian MBTs.
I have a simple guide, if it looks Russian, pen the lower front plate or shoot the barrel, then figure out if the rest can be penned
He's returned! Welcome back, Oxy!
When I was in Canadian Armoured Recce, training on enemy vehicle recognition was dominant so as a relatively new WT player, I'm interested in learning that recognition aspect in everything pre and post '70s and '80s. So, yes please. ;)
wow thanks this helped a lot, im pretty new to war thunder and was always dieing but the deff helped
I was always very late to watch the other tech trees and I'm extremely happy that it's continuing. Great upload.
Love what you're doing m8. Keep up the amazing work!
I like the idea of a tank identification guide. Being an exclusively high-top tier player now, I still quite like a good bit of seal clubbing myself and a guide like that would have some interesting tidbits of knowledge :3
We love you oxy you work hard for us and you deserve all the support you get.
So entertaining to listen to. Thanks for the great video ❤!

Vehicle identification guides sound like a splendid idea. There aren’t really enough relevant newbie guides for war thunder around.
for how good the video is I am very surprised that you only have 50 000 subs , you deserve more and I hope you can get to 100 000 subs.

26:11 "Getting the Drop" on your enemy. Terrific bit there. :)
Just when I started playing America. Gramercy!
Tip! Use the m2 more like a anti air vehicle and you will see more success. Due to units 8 machine guns.
Really infomative video Oxy, honestly I think gaijin should have these videos built in game so that new players can watch them for the contry they decide to start out with. Anyway, cheers m8!

Great vid oxy and congrats on the 50k.
Well worth the wait thank you oxy

Its a miracle, TOM'S BACK!!!
The lvts survivability is so bad it turned back around and became good again

40:12 "you dropped this king" meme on top left
Oxy: If you lose in the M2A2, don’t worry about it, it’s a tank to unwind in.
Proceeds to get three kills in quick succession.
THANK YOU!!!
At 26:20 When he says “From the sides you’ll have no issue punching through enemies..” there should really be something saying “MBTs included”
Only Oxy can spend over 5 minutes talking about a reserve tank. Never change :D
