This is very immersing indeed. I wish they provided more war theaters and tanks to experiment with. I hope in the future more material for this kind of game/simulation. We have so much for air combat, this kind of games are kind of missing.
One notable difference (I observed watching Il-2 gameplay) from my experience of WT is that the engagement distance are much farther away, so there is no such thing as aiming for a specific spot like turret cheek. Everything is luck - you aim center mass and hope for a pen.
Same here! Can I ask a bunch of questions? Like: are you playing using your mouse and keyboard? And is there really no sound when shells are coming in? Or is that whistle sound you hear in movies total bs? It looks cool, but it’s a bit flat when it comes to immersion at times?
@@ToothpasteJuiceBox I play using keyboard and mouse but you can play with a HOTAS if you desire. The whistle thing is bs and there is no whistle when shells are flying towards you though if you're looking in that general direction when they get fired you'll see the tracer
I love these multiplayer matches, the camera work is fantastic, I love all the different angles you get from the replay. Do you record the audio and first person view, then go view the replay later or something for those third person shots? You've finally convinced me to pick up the tank crew module, and I've really been enjoying it. Once I get things figured out a little better, I'd love to come get donked on by you guys on the virtual Finnish pilot's server! The UBOAT, Silent Hunter, Cold Waters (would love to see more of that by the way, some of my favorite videos you make) and IL-2 devs really should thank you, honestly. I have no doubt in my mind your videos have generated thousands of dollars in sales for em, I know I've ended up buying most of the games you play. Maybe I'll send em each an email to share your great content with them, I think they'd love it!
Ooooooh! I'm getting that tingly feeling a new game is coming soon. My wife noticed my reaction too, lol. Very nice video, looked quite tense and exciting, thank you. Thumbs up!

Good job reading the terrain. Anyone can pull a trigger - it takes much more skill to get your vehicle into an advantageous position so that you CAN pull the trigger first.
During ww2 Sherman’s sometimes had hard times killing panzer 4s since the panzer 4 had 80mm of armor Sherman crews were given APCR rounds to penetrate the front of a panzer 4
I remember last night I was in some urban combat with my lil Panzer 3 L since im broke lmao, and had a sherman just turn right infront of me out of behind a house and scared the absolute crap outta me :D Luckily I managed to frontally pierce him somehow, which I did not expect to be able to do with the tiny little 50mm Absolute blast on FinnishPilots with the tanks though
After playing on the Finnish server for a week this is what I've gathered. It's a great game, but the Germans most definitely control the air and ground for the most part. Half the time the Russians are lacking in support and players. This is only a week tho so take it with a grain of salt
To bad the tank wreckage doesn't stay on the map for a few minutes. You could use the tank wrecks of your fallen allies as cover as you engage hostile armor
Yep. Most of the shells and casings sit against the upper left hull wall (minus a few casings that sit under the breech). Considering it's the largest flat area, it's also a good point of aim and fairly easy to hit. Not to mention there are fuel tanks right below them.
That server restart wasn't actually scheduled - the players on the opposing team requested it to prevent you both from overrunning their spawn point! 😃
Makes you realise how much luck plays its part in these encounters. If that friendly hadn't joined your group it would have been Wolfpacks tank getting smoked.
I mean.. we were doing the same thing. We just saw him first. It is hard to actually see things in the game. You don't have god like situational awareness in tc like you do in War Thunder.
yes, Panthers, Tigers, and Elephants are rare in multiplayer because first it's map/mission dependent and second there is only a limited number available. Usually people grab them quick. It's a similar situation with the SU-122 and the ISU-152.
@@Wolfpack345 Thanks Ok sorry for my continued confusion....so when you switch to commander say, how is the tank being driven? Or do you have another person online driving? Geez hope that makes sense!
@@robant7899While you are in the commander and driver position you can actually drive the tank yourself. Alternatively you can order your AI crew where to drive OR you can get another player in the driver position!
@@Wolfpack345 Ok Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it! I may get it Do you know how much space it takes up on the hard drive if I already have IL2 BOS / Moscow etc already installed?
Hey, love your vids! I was wondering...would you be able to upload in a higher quality? Due to the YT compression, it’s difficult to see what you see... it only in this series, but also the u-boat and other series. Just asking..keep up the good videos! 👍🏻👋🏻
I already record and upload at significantly higher bitrate than youtube will even soupport. It is unfortunate how youtube compresses the video but I am not sure what else I can do besides upscaleing to 4k.
@@Wolfpack345 yeah, I don’t know man...when I look at the “stats for nerds” , it shows 1280x720 as Max resolution. On other vids I see 1920x1080. I don’t know why 🤔

Hopefully we will get it in tank crew 2!
battle of normandy will have more german and allied tanks
@@creatorsfreedom6734 drivable ones? Or like the two base tanks in Stalingrad?
@@mesomebody774 it's a possibility and in Russia there is a fully working Maus tank in a museum
@@creatorsfreedom6734 That will never come to Tank Crew.
I said it before I will say it again compared to grindy world of tanks or war thunder this looks cool I actually want to try it more and more.
It really doesn't compare to world of tanks or War Thunder. It is really an awesome experience.
One notable difference (I observed watching Il-2 gameplay) from my experience of WT is that the engagement distance are much farther away, so there is no such thing as aiming for a specific spot like turret cheek. Everything is luck - you aim center mass and hope for a pen.
Imagine comparing this game to wot and wt smh
@@gamesghost2670 they are not comparable. One is not better or worse, all three different.
@@thomaszhang3101 no shit
Much like yourself, I always whip out my binoculars when I see a suspicious looking bush! (Such a childish inuendo).
It is a good habit!
Another tree trying to kill you!! LOL. You two make a great team.
Lol yeah! It was pretty cool that he was hiding there.
tempting me into tank crew.....
It really is a lot of fun. I have a review of tank crew in the works. I am hoping to get it up this weekend.
You won't regret it

TankCrew in VR is the ultimate expirience! You can feel the claustrophobia in such a tank.
how does it even work? do you just have the headset on and use the keyboard?
That panzer commander charging in with a pistol out was hilarious
Hahah yeah!
"It's cool the trees stay down on the road!"
*Minutes later hidden Soviet tank fires*
Your cinematic edits are outstanding !
Never have I clicked on a video quicker when Wolfpack uploads
As a War Thunder player theres nothing more relaxing for me than watching IL-2 Tank Crews on TH-cam 😂

Tank Crewman: "I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!"
Oops I've done it again!! I absolutely love the Pz.IV, the 75mm is such an excellent weapon.
It is really good. Very underrated I think.
Ooooooh! I'm getting that tingly feeling a new game is coming soon. My wife noticed my reaction too, lol. Very nice video, looked quite tense and exciting, thank you. Thumbs up!
Finally someone shooting back!
I wish the M24 Chaffee was in Tank Crew, its been my favorite tank since i was a kid
Love these multiplayer tank uploads. :)
A lot of the time it is more fun to watch you than to play myself. Really good stuff!!!
And the girl in the corner said Boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a highway blitz
Hahahahahaha awesome, gotta love Sweet!!!
You guys got lucky with that concealed T-34. Good job.
Yup! He did really well!
Thanks Wolfpack345. Great tank action!
Wow you hit that Sherman at point blank range!
Amazing spot just seeing the turret hatch. Nice video pack.👍
The t34 at the end was a genuis if he made the tree fall down onto the road to ambush any tanks coming down it.
And from this moment on, Wolfpack just MGs all knocked over trees thanks to PTSTree.
Loving the Tank Crew vids!
Happy to hear it :)
Really enjoying this series
i think the t34 guys on the tree was the most intelligent enemy you figther on multiplayer for now
To be fair it is pretty hard to spot. People seem to underestimate how hard it actually is to spot things in this game.
@@Wolfpack345 im nto saying its easy, but he was intelligent using the tree, maybe i write bad the coment, my english is not perfect, so probably is ay something i dint want to say
so sorry if i make youa nger cuz my comment
Oh no I agree! What he did was very good! I'm just pointing out it is harder than it looks haha
@@Wolfpack345 yeah, tha was trying to say, pretty smart, but maybe i tell it on a form where the other people are blind or dont know how to play, i dint wanted to aay that, so, sorry again
Keep on the good content, especially (on my opinion) the yuri one, i just LOVE the history at the star of every vid, i really like the il 2 pilot one
Had there been at least two of them working in a team, the Panzers could've been wiped out.
Call me when it's a Ballroom Blitz!
Well, while I find those multiplayer videos interesting I love your career videos with narrativ. They are just awesome! Keep it up!
Thank you for watching!
Always a fanof Wolf's adventures but love the teamwork 😁
Good job reading the terrain.

Excellent video, really loving these multiplayer series, hope you do a lot more 👍🐺
Nice post. Enjoy your work.
Loving this series Wolf
Not a more pleasant sight than burning soviet armor
Gotta watch out for those am-bushes
9:12 German tank commander rushing for Black Friday shopping, circa 1943
lol!
I love your vids!!!
This is awesome, you guys should totally try hosting an event, I bet this would be ridiculous if it got to say 30v30
I agree. I will say I have seen more people joining Finnish. If you have Tank Crew hop on! It is a lot of fun.

The panzer IV was the best German tank of ww2.
where do i get hold of IL-2 Tank Crew please?
Next time you play the Soviets take out a Sherman
Just coffee this morning.
That's all??
This game looks good.
It really is.
The camo of your mate is nice. Is it uploaded on HSD?
Nothing worse than suspicious bush!
There is one thing worse.. TWO suspicios bushes,..
I too always whip out my binoculars at the prospect of a suspicious bush.
This game looks awesome but dayummm its expensive.
nice
Note to self, don't drive on roads...
That t34 barreling down the road very stupid
I mean.. we were doing the same thing. We just saw him first. It is hard to actually see things in the game. You don't have god like situational awareness in tc like you do in War Thunder.
Wolfpack, would love you to do a panther mission on IL2 tank crew..
I would like to as well but they are rather rare in mp.

@@Wolfpack345 I'm old and my hearing is debatable, I'm happy to be wrong on this. I just thought it was a reflex from flying so much in Il-2 :P
Haha to be honest I misspeak all the times so I would have believed it! :P
This game looks 15 years old going by the graphics
Show Panther and Ferdinand gameplay next time please.
I love these vids and would like to play this But its far to expensive.
Same here... And also my PC is no good for anything anyway but solitaire and minesweeper....
It's currently on sale for less than £40. That's £4.00 per tank. I've been waiting for it to get discounted myself & I am going to get it this payday.
So what's this server called? The Finnish server? Loving this game.
It is called Finnish Virtual Pilots.
noice
7th comment right when notifiication came
Patreons had early access to this one.
Teamwork OP they should nerf it.
Lol are these players you're killing or AI? Because yall just slaughter these other tanks and they seem to act like AI
love this series....keep the good shooting
that should be keep up the good shooting...
