Hay Bo, you should try out the battle of the Atlantic event that is going on right now. I played it and it brought back a lot of Silent Hunter memories 😎🍺
Seeing you all work so hard to flip those two upside down tanks at the beginning even while under fire really was sweet. Good on ya, guys! This whole video was full of greatness and I now feel my beloved L62 has some competition in the SPAA that is actually a Tank Destroyer department
You mean that L62 with the laughably over powered APHE round that badly needs removed or re-balanced? Gaijin sucks so much. They gave a 40mm APHE the same power as a 75mm APHE. The more I spend time not playing War Thunder the more I realize how utterly laughable it's balancing is. The L-62 Anti is one of the most unbalanced vehicles in the lower BR's, but you keep enjoying it. And then Gaijin has literally done nothing to improve since the shit show we had a few months ago. I was hoping they'd actually address the balancing and power-creep yet here we are with another 1970's era chassis fighting in WW2 era matches with the no armor bullshit that makes having less armor a huge boon when shot by anything high caliber.
Persther. A lost German prototype that used a panther A turret, the american m3 90mm, ad leftover panther hulls. It was built by french capture grrman machanics/tankers when looking at the capacity immediately after Germany fell. Similar to the Panshing, the us pershing that mounted the German panther 75mm
I saw the thumbnail and couldn't have agreed more. There should be (in my opinion) a "cap" for vehicles. World War 2 facing World War 2, Korean war v. Korean war, etc. Love the vids Bo, keep up the awesome work.
It's ridiculous how all are complaining about "the BR is too low". You all already forgot about the AMX 13 DCA 40 that has the same identical cannon, ammo and a smaller tank and fast tank but at 4.3!!! Really? Because it's and Italian vehicle it must be raised leaving the french counterpart lower? This AA is fine where it is.
Gaijin: "we have br gaps, so let's compress the br 🤓" Also gaijin: "we filled br holes with cold war vehicles and event vehicles, now we have 0 vehicles for higher brs 😅"
@@codyfrench7668 nobody asking to make it face Abrams and also it is missing a radar targeting system which many nations added to the Bofors at that time period
@@penzorphallos3199the Problem os that the radar was just that, a Radar, I don't believe there was ever a tracking system, at least for the dusters. But even then they should be seperate vehicles so something Like say an M19/M42 can stay at 4.0/4.3 providing much needed support for that line-up, and maybe a modification of either vehicle with HE-VT and a Radar at mayb 6.0-6.7
@@toxicmuggle5788 the wiki page of the gun system omits this prototype but among others lists the US sergeant york spaa which had tracking and targeting even if albeit a garbage one. Still this prototype stage literally was just a Bofors on a Leo chassis, so yeah no radar or tracking, probably specifically chosen by gaijin to keep it low br sadly
I always found it odd how they'd not care about tech levels when placing some vehicles, but hey, we get oddball vehicles either way. Keep up the good work, Bo & Co!
@@airsoftpopcorn It has a 1970's chassis and should have significantly better gun laying and handling since it's a turret that would have been made 30+ years after the Bofors gun. The gun itself also should be a far more modern variant. Gaijin is one of the worst companies I have ever seen when it comes to general balancing and match making balance.
Love when they up BR the Type 87 prototype from 5.7 to 7.7 because it is too modern, just a few patches later we got this thing that pens VK frontally, you serious ?
IIRC it should be a higher rotation speed since it's I think a Type-107 mount so the same mount off the P-493 & P-494 MTGB/MB & those have a 90° traverse rate.
I thought this 'anti air' would be more underteired (like l62 anti 2) but its not actuaky that annoying to deal with i guess 5.0s have more armour than 2.7
well, it has a MBT chassis and a much much much newer bofors, and the L-62 and LVKV have much older ones, as well as having an outdated (even by their BR standards) chassis
The time period argument is silly IMO, game balance should come first when assigning BRs. I don't see people complaining about the M42 Duster, Concept 3, G6, that 2.3 Swedish AA etc. If it fits the 'meta' of that BR range it should stay
To be fair, the L-62 Landsverk was WW2 era. It has the right to be down there, it's SAP-HE is what is ridiculous and needs removed or rebalanced because it's laughably overperforming in post-penetration damage. But the Concept 3 at least has shit armor and shit turret traverse, it doesn't have modern turret rotation like this piece of piss nor does it have the speed of a race car on tracks. The M42 Duster was a 1952 design. The G6 and some of the SPA tanks at least fit better because they were never designed for front line combat. Gaijin simply sucks shit at balancing, this tank shouldn't be where it is. It's laughable that it's there, it's laughable that the R3 is there. At the very least, they should just throw the realistic in Realistic Battles right out the window if this is how they do things.
@adamg7984 yeah I meant the Pv 301, it's from the 70's (Marder's gun). But you kinda made my point with the Concept 3 and SPGs, balance should take president over time period. The realism should go into the tank models and performance, but gameplay should be fun. If BRs were arranged ""realistically"" have fun fighting Tiger 2s in your M22, or Shermans in your Chi-he.
Nice Video, Glad I spent my time watching this while cutting wood and now my nose burns after laughing too much.. Also 415K should be past 1 mil for the quality..
I love the leopard 40/70 and think it should be at 5.3 at minimum. It’s incredibly easy to kill which is why I don’t think it should be higher. You can easily ammo rack it. Half of the ammo is stored in the open on the back of the turret. You can also mg through the turret armor easily.
Oh god lmao 🤣 The tank Bo mercilessly slaughtered at 5:01 was an "A13 Mk 1". Those tanks entered service in *1938* a year *before* WW2. That 'tank' is only a rank 1/2 so they're not in the same rank, but crikey.
@@airsoftpopcornI complain about them all. None of them are at the correct tier, and many of them have ammo that they never would have had, all to make it balanced. If you have to do this much gymnastics to make it fit in for balance, maybe it shouldn't be in the game at all? But I also understand that the devs are going to do what they are going to do and I wish them success, because this is the only game out there, that I am aware of, that scratches the itch for me
Unless u have a junkyard full of Leo 1 hulls, or u got a shipment of faulty Leo kits that's missing all the turrets; that's a waste for a single 40mm (with no other extras).
Maybe instead of placing it so low in BR they couldve just given it the actual APFSDS rounds it fired and placed it at the proper BR. But that sounds way too complicated
that seems more like your team were dumb, just launch arty or just mg it to death, the crew is exposed on the turret. then again this is warthunder players were talking about here. theyre quite dumb
Too bad War Thunder has not separated tanks by conflict as well, like all WW2 tanks in a group and then the cold war and modern Era, that would be a great update
Except in reality it overlaps. But they shouldn't nerf vehicles unnessiarily (like not giving this it's apfsds rounds) especially when it drops it into another era.
@@matthiuskoenig3378they wanted to fill a gap in tech trees, also, if this had apfsds and he-vt what br would it be? 8.0? 9.0? There would be no point in adding this tank. Gaijin can just add a new version of this tank with apfsds and he-vt
@@airsoftpopcorn well we havent had a tank with hevt below 8.0, and its a single 40mm bofor with exposed crewmember, so with just he-vt maybe 7.0ish? but with apfsds? any sort of balance is thrown out the window.
@@airsoftpopcorn yup, its either gonna be okish at 5.0-5.3, fine with hevt at 7.0 but people will bitch about either option, or completely useless if it got hevt and darts.
This thing should be 7.3 with HE-VT, there's a ton of WWII and cold war AAs to add to the Italians, include R3 chassis with a targeting radar and 20mm hispanos, Italy could also get more ATGM-Only vehicles
*Begin Transmission* Day 119. Recovery day 14. The recovery period is nearly at an end, but I don’t feel any better really. But at least I get to laugh at something - which bear in mind, hurts every time I chuckle. I look at this vehicle and immediately get Nimrod vibes from the Royal Hungarian Army 😂😂😂😂😂. But I still have better vibes with the T26E4 Super Pershing. Hopefully, these videos can keep my sense of humor intact by the time Bo actually sees these messages 😅😅😅. *End Transmission*
yeah this thing could happily go up in br tbh i mean it faces 5.3s and destroys them in one shot last night i got killed by one in my t1e1 in one shot and i was turned around is style the round went straight through the engine and everything ...its not just this aa either s few other vehicles are weirdly facing things that stand no chance...the aa could go up to 7. br range in my opinion.
Obviously War Thunder isn’t a sim or anything but I really don’t like this thing being at 5.0. The fact that it can get into a downtier with stuff like an M4A2 is insane.
@@craigpaul623 it's largely Russian shit. like the 2S38 (2022) at 10.0 vs the XM-803 (1971) at 9.0. or the 2S25 Sprut (2001) at 9.3 vs the T95E1 (1956) at 8.3. the Leopard 40/70 might have been conceived in the 90s, but everything about it is 50s tech, so the gap isn't as great as it seems.
@@iMoD190 only the gun is 50's tech, and has been significantly upgraded since then. The chassis is a blasted Leopard. I wasn't aware of those two examples. I still think it would be better to leave out things that can't be balanced within their appropriate era than squish them into somewhere else.
@@craigpaul623 the Leopard is the 50s tech. it started development in the late 50s and entered service in 1965. the gun is just a Bofors 40/70 from the late 40s.
I cannot believe this abomination was added before the actual Leopard 1A2 for Italy. Come to think of if, the Italian Leopard 1A5 is still incorrectly modeled, because the Italians mounted 1A5 turrets on modified 1A2 hulls, whereas Gaijin's is literally a copy/paste with a laser warning system and different decals. I also hate the permanent decals, because they're blurry as hell and can't be placed over.
So my first reaction was... well it seems kinda similar to the Crusader AA MK I... you know... Tank hull plus Bofors 40mm turret. But that's where the similarities end... Sure the Crusader AA MK I sits at a BR of 3.0 as opposed to the 5.0 of the Leopard 40/70, but still.... 72mm of penetration (at 10m/90° Angle) vs 93mm, 28°/s turret rotation vs 50°/s... also the differences in mobility, agility and so on. I guess my first reaction was pretty wrong.
@@craigpaul623 am guessing you havent played the swedish one then. that thing is quite shit at everything. doesnt half the good belt as the french and only got like 18 mags for reserve (which only last about 1 minute or so) and exposed crew members.
I still prefer the L-62 ANTI just for the SAPHEI belt...and being Tier 3 at 2.7😆 I have to grind this out, but every single barrel 40mm (even with 240 rpm) are a no-go for me even as tank destroyer. The experience with AMX-13 DCA was enough miserable...
The L-62 is one of the worst balanced and most unrealistic vehicles in the game simply due to the performance of that APHE. No 40mm SAP-HE is as lethal to a tank as they make it in the game. Gaijin just can't model proper APHE behavior and makes some of the worst balancing decisions I have ever seen in my entire life.
You guys should play the Strv m/42 EH again… I know you already played it, but that was years ago. That thing is awesome tho, its 75mil APHE slaps like few things at that BR, and it even has some armour and mobility. I‘d love to see a video on that!
Because those are not as immersion breaking, and it's would be easy to justify upteiring this by giving it it's hisotical apfsds that gaijin didn't add in order to justify giving it such a low BR. I
@@airsoftpopcornIf there isn't an actual era-appropriate vehicle, then just leave the gap. It isn't Gaijin's fault that all militaries didn't produce/procure enough vehicles to make full tech trees for every nation. In my opinion, this is as bad as World of Tanks adding fictional designs to fill in gaps. It feeds the power creep, which will kill the game eventually
I hate how people want a cut off between ww2 and cold war vehicles, vehicles should be balanced off capabilities and performance and not year they were built. There are tons of vehicles that basically perform like ww2 tanks but were built in the 50s or 60s. It makes far more sense just to have tanks be at a similar br to other tanks that perform similarly to them. Do you really think that the concept 3 and pbv 301 should be 8.0?
Hard cutoffs, no, but seriously out of their era, then, well, if that is what it would take to make them era appropriate, yes. If they would then be useless, then don't add them to the game. This is literally the definition of power creep.
@@Thekilleroftanks auto correct caught you there. The word you meant was utter, not udder. You have a good point in that case, though I would argue that is an exception
It's gaijn nerfing being weird about the italian aa line. The R3 T20 is a recce vehicle, but they shoehorned it into spaa and nerfed it to justify not upteiring it further. This thing they denied it it's apfsds round for some reason, so now it's just a slightly better 4.3/4.7 vehicle, hence 5.0.

@@craigpaul623 it's largely Russian shit. like the 2S38 (2022) at 10.0 vs the XM-803 (1971) at 9.0. or the 2S25 Sprut (2001) at 9.3 vs the T95E1 (1956) at 8.3. the Leopard 40/70 might have been conceived in the 90s, but everything about it is 50s tech, so the gap isn't as great as it seems.
@@iMoD190 only the gun is 50's tech, and has been significantly upgraded since then. The chassis is a blasted Leopard.
I wasn't aware of those two examples. I still think it would be better to leave out things that can't be balanced within their appropriate era than squish them into somewhere else.
@@craigpaul623 the Leopard is the 50s tech. it started development in the late 50s and entered service in 1965. the gun is just a Bofors 40/70 from the late 40s.
Love you bow
I cannot believe this abomination was added before the actual Leopard 1A2 for Italy. Come to think of if, the Italian Leopard 1A5 is still incorrectly modeled, because the Italians mounted 1A5 turrets on modified 1A2 hulls, whereas Gaijin's is literally a copy/paste with a laser warning system and different decals. I also hate the permanent decals, because they're blurry as hell and can't be placed over.
I REALLY don’t like Time Travel Battle Ratings. It’s a moot point ever since they axed any pretense of historical factions, but still
Such a tiny gun for such a swole chassis. But I guess that's how it works, sometimes...

I am the Lorax
I speak for the trees
But for some fucking reason
They speak Vietnamese.
So my first reaction was... well it seems kinda similar to the Crusader AA MK I... you know... Tank hull plus Bofors 40mm turret. But that's where the similarities end... Sure the Crusader AA MK I sits at a BR of 3.0 as opposed to the 5.0 of the Leopard 40/70, but still.... 72mm of penetration (at 10m/90° Angle) vs 93mm, 28°/s turret rotation vs 50°/s... also the differences in mobility, agility and so on. I guess my first reaction was pretty wrong.
This has basically the same gun as the 4.3 swedish and french 40mm aa
@@airsoftpopcornneither of them should be at 4.3 either though
@@craigpaul623 am guessing you havent played the swedish one then.
that thing is quite shit at everything. doesnt half the good belt as the french and only got like 18 mags for reserve (which only last about 1 minute or so) and exposed crew members.
@@Thekilleroftanks no, I have not. You prove my point though. If it is that bad, just leave it out of the game
Can you do another video on the M46 Patton?
I still prefer the L-62 ANTI just for the SAPHEI belt...and being Tier 3 at 2.7😆
I have to grind this out, but every single barrel 40mm (even with 240 rpm) are a no-go for me even as tank destroyer. The experience with AMX-13 DCA was enough miserable...
The L-62 is one of the worst balanced and most unrealistic vehicles in the game simply due to the performance of that APHE. No 40mm SAP-HE is as lethal to a tank as they make it in the game. Gaijin just can't model proper APHE behavior and makes some of the worst balancing decisions I have ever seen in my entire life.
You guys should play the Strv m/42 EH again… I know you already played it, but that was years ago. That thing is awesome tho, its 75mil APHE slaps like few things at that BR, and it even has some armour and mobility. I‘d love to see a video on that!
At the start of the video sickboy had a Vietnam flash yeling "THERE IN THE TREES, THERE IN THE TREES"
I know it's like 2 am but can you please do the event
Make a video on the m1o9 please
It was NASA Rover for me :)) LMAO!!!!
nice one mate
Is it just me or does the 40mm seem to pen panthers more easily than the 75 or 76 shermans?
Cold war era tank in ww2???? Nice
what was happening at the start
What br is it even at
What was the madness causing all of the flipped vehicles in the beginning
They may or may not have jumped off of a cliff
@@th0r945oh, so they were just training for the paratanks division
If this tank were in the American tree it would be at least 6.7
"I got the plane", followed by "I hit the antenna". 😞
What kind of dino chicken nuggie was that?
How is that vehicle faster than an r3?
I mean this vehicle works the same as the AMX-13 DCA and the Lvkv 42 and they are the same br yet nobody whines about them
Correction the AMX and LKV are actually lower in BR at 4.3
Because those are not as immersion breaking, and it's would be easy to justify upteiring this by giving it it's hisotical apfsds that gaijin didn't add in order to justify giving it such a low BR.
I
@@matthiuskoenig3378they want to fill a gap in aa. Do you think they should just have not added this into the game?
@@airsoftpopcornIf there isn't an actual era-appropriate vehicle, then just leave the gap. It isn't Gaijin's fault that all militaries didn't produce/procure enough vehicles to make full tech trees for every nation.
In my opinion, this is as bad as World of Tanks adding fictional designs to fill in gaps. It feeds the power creep, which will kill the game eventually
I hate how people want a cut off between ww2 and cold war vehicles, vehicles should be balanced off capabilities and performance and not year they were built. There are tons of vehicles that basically perform like ww2 tanks but were built in the 50s or 60s. It makes far more sense just to have tanks be at a similar br to other tanks that perform similarly to them. Do you really think that the concept 3 and pbv 301 should be 8.0?
Hard cutoffs, no, but seriously out of their era, then, well, if that is what it would take to make them era appropriate, yes.
If they would then be useless, then don't add them to the game.
This is literally the definition of power creep.
@@craigpaul623 ahh yes power creep. *looks at the udder inbalance the asu85 adds to the game* the horror~
@@Thekilleroftanks auto correct caught you there. The word you meant was utter, not udder.
You have a good point in that case, though I would argue that is an exception
@@craigpaul623guys look at this specific niche, lets change the whole game for it, op probably
We have R3T20 from 80s/90s fighting WW2 vehicles now this ? What is the problem with time travel vehicles specially with Italy 😂😂
It's gaijn nerfing being weird about the italian aa line.
The R3 T20 is a recce vehicle, but they shoehorned it into spaa and nerfed it to justify not upteiring it further.
This thing they denied it it's apfsds round for some reason, so now it's just a slightly better 4.3/4.7 vehicle, hence 5.0.
