A 4.0 TANK WITH A TOP TIER SHELL - IKV 103 in War Thunder
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- The Ikv 103 has been dropped in battle rating AGAIN! When the Ikv 103 was came along with Sweden it was 5.3 due to the fact it could research a 400mm pen HEAT-FS round that could send a King Tiger straight back to the hanger with a single shot.
This time around, it's been dropped to a SUPER low 4.0 BR! I wanted to play it to see how it faired! :)
Who doesn't want a ridiculously powerful HEAT-FS at 4.0???

the first time I played this thing, ended up overpresuring myself while trying to destroy a fence
Oof
That's unfortunate
Certified warthunder moment
Haha yeah them fences are a menace
rip bozo
The T-34 deployed his super secret Drozd-3 active protection system, it produces a miniature blackhole in front of the round :)
@@coopasss thanks, captain obvious, it was a joke
Don't Forget the Optics Reactive armor, (One hundred percent absorb all spall and shells, including top tier APFSDS)
T-34 with afganhit APS 💀
Also known as bs russian bias.
Spookston please make more videos about cold war prototypes
I use this in my 5.7 Swedish line-up and it performs just the same. Good gun, everything kills it anyway so doesn't matter what BR.
Same lmfao. I bring it 7.0 and it’s so funny
Let's be fair anything with a big gun with high pen is "good" at any br, lookin at you archer, it's just that you'll need to take into account the properties of the tank
It’ls like the object 120 but worse.
Might as well move the PTL02 and the wma301 to 4.7 as well since everything can kill them, right? I mean so what if they have apfsds, stabilized guns Gen 2thermals, tandem warheas, anything can kill them
This Swedish crap should be 6.7
I use it in my 7.7, and 8.3 lineups.
Definitely has reserve tier velocity🤣
And aluminum foil armor
As it should
Sweeden gotta Swed.
This. x)
So ?
As someone grinding the Sweden lineup and loved both the M-51 and Ikv 72, I think I'll like the combination of their good bits. Nice video
Its like a 1.0 derp gun that grew up to 4.0.
@@obsidianjane4413 aye that be true
You'll definitely enjoy it then. I play it just like the 72, making use of the fairly low profile and extremely good depression, and it was insanely good at 4.7. I had no idea it was so disliked. You do have to be quite careful as your gunner can easily be killed, but you should already be playing it careful since you dont have any armor
Sweden is really fun, you get a bit of germany, russia, sweden and soon U.S because of how Gaijin decided to add Finland and Norway which means F-18s and F-16s etc. Probably one of the best trees to spade for fun stuff.
Is there even M-51 in Sweden?
Missing a bit on the tail... Flat spins.
Meanwhile the SU-11 missing an entire wing and engine: this but a scratch!
I love this thing I don't know why some people thought it was so bad at 4.7
Ikr gaijin tripping balls Fr on this one
It's great but 5.0 is the worst BR for open tops imo; the only decent anti-air is the R3, and everyone plays it as a cap rusher tank destroyer like the m22, not an actual anti air.
And because it has armor that doesn't stop .50cals
That last game was incredible. Had me on the edge of my chair the whole time. Awesome vid, Odd.
11:33 Does Odd not know you can hold Alt and mark on the minimap, even after you die? I’ve saved lots of teammates doing it! You have to be quick but it’s possible!
That sherman got gaijined 17:44 , the molten core of the heatfs bounced inside the tank
I've had chemical rounds go through fences and similar (very common when using the pt-76 for me) since the update that lets them. I think they didn't implement it properly and while the shell seems fine visually it is a dead shell and will just ghost shell. Very cool snail.
This tank strikes me as having Sturer Emil-ism. Where it could be tiered down and just keep getting worse and worse the lower it goes right down to Reserve because it's gun already overkills stuff at it's original BR, it couldn't even survive a French Reserve tank's gun, stuff has more mobility (mostly just due to there being more light tanks) and lower tier tanks tend to get lower and lower reload speeds compared to it.
Its because _random_player_ tries to brawl with it instead of use it as a long range TD, there by sinking its BR.
@@obsidianjane4413 Its the Germany situation, Under-BR'd not because the vehicle is bad, but because nobody uses it correctly. Granted germany is just braindead and their tanks are under-BR'd because of that so they're broken OP. They also are the reason why most of the US is over-BR'd
@@fire_drake12.arc.24 wouldn't call it entirely a germany problem honestly, although the issue of people misunderstanding tanks in general is super annoyimg
1:32
This happened to me in the IS-1 when my shell hit a palm tree in American Desert when I was aiming at a Tiger I's upper front plate. Naturally he killed me right afterwards, and I'm still salty about it. Those tree hitboxes man lol, thanks for showcasing this so I could complain about it. :P
It is very underrated. I did well with it at 4.7 mainly due to its speed, depression and of course its penetration.
i do well at 6.3 with it, i do bring it to 7.3 and i can get kills. Thanks to deppresion and low visibility. I love IkV103
Story of my life fr
I love this thing. It's great getting into location and quickly and ambushing the enemy. Not a great street fighter, and definitely not a good toe to toe fighter, but great for sitting and peaking over a hill and clobbering enemy targets. Good modeling how this little tank is pushed back by the force of the gun firing. Well done.
Nah I love street fighting on Sweden map with this thing. I did ring around the Rosie with a tiger for a solid couple minutes and won
This tank is absurd and so fun
The gun depression takes away all of my depression
Used to play this game a lot, when tanks were introduced. And simulation were playable. Now the grind is too much. SO! Thanks for uploading these videos, much liked from here. Thanks.
Man I love hearing that "in this video" at the beginning of every new vid, it's just hypnotic
HEY! GET MY DECAL AND 3% OFF THE STORE WITH THIS LINK! :) store.gaijin.net/catalog.php?category=WarThunder&partner=Oddbawz&partner_val=2bpa5qx4
Have a good day to you oddz :')
Cool
110th try, please play the T-80 or the T-28E in USSR 2.3, they are fun and you have no videos on them, man give me some love, 110th try... I slacked on previous videos and almost gave up, but I still want you to make videos on both tanks.
That velocity is… is… I have no words
New sub, been loving the battles and some of the bloopers as well. Keep up the awesome work.
OddBawz is the only person to get the pronunciation of the ystervark closly corect
Last game: best player, about 25 achievements, a lot of kills, final blow, etc.
Gaijin: best I can do is 1000 sl
Maybe they modeled the fins on the actual HEATFS projectile. That might be the reason the volumetric is so scuffed.
@1:35 That was just a plain ol' "ghost shell".
@6:35 In WT no good deed goes unpunished. lol
You can see the tree fall over?
@@OddBawZ Yeah but there wasn't a flash to indicate that clipping the tree triggered the HEAT if the server had judged it that way. And the vapor trail went all the way to the target. KInda both, maybe double ghosts, the server just said, "Nope", and the client went, "Uh...... how about a tree?" Typical weirdness in the way WT handles asynchronous events.
To be fair, this HEAT shell should have folding fins so the collision diameter should be more than 105mm.
but that shouldn't make it fuse
6:26 😶🌫No good deed goes unpunished.
Sweden/Finland got a amazing 1.7 line up now. The T-28 is a monster, and then you got the SAV with 50mm frontal, the gind is almost fun 😆
Dont forget the spj!
yeah the large round hitbox makes sense since its fin-stabilized, whether or not the fins catching on a tree would set of the round tho is a different matter
Love 💘 the name "Pipino il breve" of that P40 that double killed you.
It's the name of the father of "Charlemagne" King of the franks
Gyula_Machines from 6:20 here, you avenged us well, brother
Thanks for coming to repair!
@1:28 perfect example of “getting Gaijined”
bro thank you for making a vid on this tank i main this thing and get like 5 kills every game in that one tank it's glorious i love you bro.
"Basically it's a HEAT shell as well as a High Explosive" I honestly felt the brainfart resonate with my soul. No hate I would likely do something goofy like that too but it cracked me up because HEAT is High Explosive Anti Tank lol :) love the content tho OddBawZ. You help rekindle my love for this game.
I was playing it last night and actually bounced a t-34 shell with it's armor XD if I were that player I'd be soooo Pissed
Like the IKV72 when you have it crabbed up with the gun at -15 the effective armor is something like 80mm. You can't even angle down far enough in the hanger view armor pen view to see it. lol
bruuuh the chat at 3:48
LOL! I cut out the part where I was laughing at it.
How have they managed to change the BR multiple times while not fixing the shell’s model?
"I'm trying to use my brain but it's not braining" LOL I'm going to start using that one.
"It was really good at 5.3", so good that the best thing it did was scratch my sherman's paint at point blank
It has an amazing shell, pen wise, and nothing more going on for it
Gaijin "You're missing part of your tail. Time for flat spin."
Every time you upload i immediately stop everything and watch your videos, it always brings me joy and happiness, i also learn a thing or 2 that make me a better player even after 3000 hrs of gameplay!
So please never stop uploading (those days when you had broken PC was dreadful NGL)
I’ve still been getting the occasional ghost shell especially with the M18
That the heat-fs shell detonates if you fire it next to a tree is kind of accurate.. the fins on the shell unfold after leaving the barrel and they can get pretty wide
In fairness this ridge on the Finland map is absolutely made for this tank
I feel like 4.7 would be the actual best BR for this thing simply, so that it doesn't trivialize armor so easily (facing this thing in a Soviet heavy is annoying as hell). But honestly, I feel like 5.3 was the perfect BR for it, because come on, many things at those BRs sacrifice mobility and turret traverse for armor. Hell, the M-51 is 6.0 and it performs very well at that BR, this one is a tank destroyer with absurdly good depression that allows you to straight up not even look at enemies and camp on hills without a worry over getting shot. It's more situational than the M-51, but it excels at that situation alot (that is if you don't have objects in your way).
11:20 you can also mark on the mini-map by pressing left alt key and klick on the miniature minimap

Oh, WarThunder
ikv103 +sav20.12.48+ikv 72
I for some insane reason have been grinding Sweden(the aircraft tree is the worst), and this thing was a surprise in how much fun I had with it. It was a little monster that surprises people.
I grind France, Swede grind is nothing compared to that
@muntatheraldamok9267a21 is cracked tho
Low tier and A21 is great, especially for CAS, and SK60 and SAAB are great too. The J28/29 kinda all suck, true, and so does the J32/34, so ABSOLUTELY go for the A32 and use that to grind your Viggens and Drakens. High tier air ain’t like America or Russia, that’s for sure.
Otherwise, Sweden is pretty great at every ground BR except for an underdeveloped mid-late tier, 5.3-7.0 ain’t great, but once you hit 7.3, it’s honestly one of the best at the higher BR.
The SAAB is great, I used it to grind literally every vehicle in Tiers 5 and 6 until the A32
J22 is a good fighter, but sweden's ground attack is utterly awful until late midtier.
Now that Finland has the Buffalo, it's actually possible to play low tier ground pound
5:44 - It was indeed a stew! 😂
105mm shell in 4.0 is crazy
Hey Odd, i use this boi with the Finnish PT-76 and i can say i enjoy slapping T-34-85's down a hole as i never play at 5.3 because the game cant resist uptiering me :(
I play this thing like an artillery from long range, just use the map to range your target and stay on cap so you can reload and set a trap
110th try, please play the T-80 or the T-28E in USSR 2.3, they are fun and you have no videos on them, man give me some love, 110th try... I slacked on previous videos and almost gave up, but I still want you to make videos on both tanks.
Yay, he hearted it-it’s happening!!
@@foowashere You will get there, just need to wait and keep it up.
as someone who mainly just plays soviet tanks, seeing 17 degrees of gun depression is giving ME depression
2:42 irl hetzer's transmission would break if crew tried it lmao
I like playing the modern tanks everyone once in awhile, but I have the most fun mid-tier and low-tier. More good battles like these two.
32:10 the DT is also 5.0 and that thing does kinda slap
I'm mad that they're both overpressure magnets being technically open top
The ikv103 is so slept on
i love that warthunder actually added swedish to the game as for me it makes it very much easier to understand
Oh god, not the Ikv. Swedish players the bane of my existence.
I had a good laugh when oddbawz plane flatspins.
subtitles think that odd is saying 50 cows instead of 50 cals. 🤣
No way! If you saw my comment on ask3lad’s post about the be changes, and decided to act upon it, I am honored, or if you had plans before my comment, then I’m still happy you decided to play this very funny (and fun) tank!
That is the most beautiful construct I have ever seen
Just had a sherman driver eat the entire HEAT FS round, and for said Sherman to take me out with 50.cal. Ah Warthunder, you make no sense
planes with 0 engine sound, quality gaijin entertainment logic as per usual.
one of the top 20 grossing games on steam, still can't make a game right.
The anteater of WT!
"I'm trying to use my brain, but it's not braining" lmao, I love your choice of words 🤣
i prefer the predecessor to this tank, lower BR and also has a Scary round, killing a IS6 in RB was satisfying
The L-62 has some NASTY SAPHE belts with 66mm of pen that literally one shot anything I love it lol
I guaranteed it's not the round diameter that's bugged. I stopped playing with HEAT for the most part because of it popping prematurely on everything it gets anywhere close to. I've had countless rounds explode on things it should've clearly flew past.
Please play the 75/34 M43, its the italian stug thing at 3.3. It has trolly front armour and is very good at its br.
hay odd i was wondering if you could do a challenge? it would be to kill as many 2s38's with the SAPHE round on the begleit. i found out that by hitting the turret with the SAPHE you can overpressure it... love the vids they always bring a smile to my face, keep up the amazing work.
But Odd the snail fixed ghost shelling like 4 years ago
That last game looked like fun.
Great videos i was wondering what nation I should focus more on. I am at 7.3 for Russia, Britain, and Germany
Funny thing is, when I was really wet behind the ears with War Thunder, this tank actually taught me a lot. Not through success mind you, but quite the opposite. I hated the IKV-103 then, but I love it now.
How is this going to 4.0 I use it at 5.7 its beautiful
with something like this the lower it goes the worse it gets, it faces lighter, faster vehicles with faster firing guns, so the pen is just overkill and the shit chassis with a low velocity gun and slow reload starts to hurt you. It's honestly better at 5.7-7.0 than it is at 4.0
The sneeze from a newborn baby could penetrate it's armor lol.
@@themouthofsauron6926 because thats the whole swedish tech tree it is an amzing glass canon
the shell in question is a shaped charge not HEAT. heat shells will go through trees and still hit the target but shaped charges won't as heat shells are essentially AT shells that do more damage. things like the pz 4 use HEAT shells as standard and has a shaped charge as an unlockable ammo type. HEAT has decreasing pen when increasing distance while shaped charges has constant penetration regardless of range
IL-2 with his Tesla engine
Thank's for making video on this tank. To this day i do not understand why they lowered it to 4.0 i played it on 7.3 with no problem.
Well considering that the SU-100 is at 6.0 with less pen, slower reload rate, and a slower top speed/ turn rate. The only thing that it does better is the armor yet it’s at 6.0 while the IKV is at 4.0. Don’t know what Gaijin was thinking.
I thought I was the only one who thought that the tank destroyers with ridiculous guns and no armor were better at higher BRs. I use my Sturer Emil as a part of my German 5.7 lineup and it performs great. The enemy tanks are slower and bigger, and the games themselves seem to take longer, allowing more time for the ridiculous penetration of the main gun to carve through the frontal armor of enemy tanks like it´s made of paper. The only downside is the reload.
Well, having a 1005mm shell should be an easy fix for Gaijinn
bruh how did Gaijin in all their hubris decide that a HEAT-FS shell is logical fighting interwar tanks.
Oddbawz: "I will avange you"
This thing can pen 400 mm? DAMN, I came face to face with this with my IS and it bounced me in my turret lol, I rushed it and killed it
Odd, a cure for 9.0 drone cancer has been found. The Shturm-S gets proxy missiles with 7km range. It is by far the best Anti-Air for USSR at this BR range, bespite only being 8.3. I highly recommend helping some top tier teams by keeping those pesky drones at bay. Just finished a match on 38th Parallel where I killed 7 of them (9 air total)
I use this vehicle at 7.3 with no issues. The gun still punches just fine and the depression is still amazing. Really, 7.3 in the IKV 103 is the same as 4.0 since you have the same weaknesses and the 105mm HEATFS still smacks. You just need to be a bit more careful with shot placement.
you can play sav 20.12, its fun to play as ikv 103 and nice video. As always :D
One of my favorite vehicles. Thanks for showing it off!
Yes I would like to see more games top two especially where you take one or two main vehicles an spaa and aircraft. Like pick 3 assist moar games!
I was soooooooo excited to get this thing. Then I tried overpressuring things with its HE, which never works. So I tried its stock HEAT and more often then not it does nothing either. And then I unlocked the HEATFS and slam my head on the desk when T-34's and KVs just eat the rounds. No other vehicles do it - the IKV's bug just highlights a "bug" with these two cheat-mobiles.
I think all 105 HEAT is like that. Not HEATFS, HEST. You can see the same effect on the M-51
Ah.. the 4.0 doom cannon that can lob a shell over a hill.. love using this on people who don't expect it to nail you lol
I shot one of these point blank with an HE shell and the ammo detonation blew off my tracks and barrel in a Panther D
I swear to god when it comes to heat-fs gaijooble devs chug a bottle of vodka and throw darts at a board to get the BR
I remember shooting a tree with my cannon attached to it and it broke my barrel, pretty realistic ngl
Ikv secret 1,005 mm shell destroys buildings
oddbawz videos make me jolly asf
