Interesting factoid, the SMK is one of the very, very few tanks in the game that has a functional mg on the back of the turret. So if you thought you were crazy watching it wiggle around the whole video, you weren't 😊
21:37 That is when a player spawns in an aircraft, it for some reason shows the airplane for a split second where their tank corpse is. Spookston has subconsciously taught this from how often it correlates to his demise
Yeah, but "muh realism" and "WT is supposed to be realistic" - then you repair a wrecked plane in 9s and hitscan AF AAA takes care od anyone who dares to interfere.
Unfortunately, the armor was reinforced with the Pauli Exclusion buff. Unless the shells have taken three years of advanced physics they won't even understand what happened.
in real life after shooting at one spot repeatedly the round will pen but Warthunder physics can't simulate that so nope you can't do that in the game but you can in real life
Odd, it would be funny to see you do a collab with Phly and Spook where y'all play the Land Battleships! The TOG, SMK and the French Bis tank or whatever it's official name is!
Quick history lesson on the SMK: When the USSR was developing thier new heavy tank to replace the T-35, two competing designs were chosen for testing, these were the SMK and the T-100. Two SMKs and one T-100 were sent to the frontline against Finland in the Winter War. To cut a long story short, the SMK performed better. The Hull was redesigned, the front turret removed, and the KV-1 was born. The T-100 was sent to a warehouse were it sat for a few years. Until it was pulled out, had a 130mm naval gun mounted in a casemate, and renamed the SU-100Y for the defence of Moscow.
What I read is there were two KV-1 and a single SMK sent to the Finnish front. The SMK got bogged down, the crew escaped, and after two weeks of trying to recover it, they gave up. The SMK just wasn't effective for its weight and expense.
Another strangely good russian tank is the 2.0 t-70 and the 2.3 t-80 now yes it has a painful turret rotation but it has really good hull armour but the turret armour is slightly lacking but no one shoots there so you can survive a while
My issue with similar tanks is how the game prioritizes which crew member should be replaced with witch; like in the "M3 Lee" the loader of the 37mm gun has the priority over the the 75mm's (or at least it was; haven't played it for a while).
my favorite thing to do with the US and UK m3 lee and one other multi turret tank was to separate them in aiming, when i got into a good brawl spot, and leave one watching my 6 and the other front, such a fearsome beast when used like that, walts out into an alley looking left and right, or keep one front and the other sweeping the left as you move past somewhere.
lol i remember even getting the 50 involved with some shenanigans, started to learn that sometimes i can operate just the mg to hit some planes and leave my barrel on target, AND that the mg can see over cover and get a few crits sometimes
Considering that Gaijin is now only putting two vehicles into the battle pass now, I seriously doubt that we'll ever get the T-100 in the game via the battle pass.
I'm pretty sure that the "Dynamic LUT", found in Options -> Post FX on the right side of screen, is the reason why some map/weather combos look so dark with no shadows. I turned off and set tone mapping to Reinhard; which when turned down low helps make the ridges on snow maps more visible, instead of one great big patch of pure white until it hits the sky.
Still recall this menace from 2014 when i started playing. Played Arcade back then and was like super scared when i saw one in the scoreboard for the enemy team.
@@tarkitarker0815 It's kind of unfair how people who pay money on Russian tanks can still be killed by other nations. These things are made of Stalinium, nothing could ever destroy them.
@@mattslittlebrown4355 you seem to be overly lost. you gotta pay for that vehicle, that makes it pay to win bc its not shit, enabling a second human being to aim a turret is pay to win as fuck.......
One of these was used in Finland during the winter war. I can only imagine how scary it was to see one of these as Finland had few anti-tank cannons to combat this. Also at the time Finlands own armor was vickers 6-ton light tanks and ww1 renault FT light tanks. That meant that if it werent for the anti-tank mine finnish soldiers would have get very close to it to destroy it with molotov cocktails, anti-tank grenades or satchel charges. That or pray that a lucky artillery shell landed on top of it.
I actually fought against one of these when i was in my turan 1 and it felt like a boss fight, 3 tanks including me firing at it doing almost nothing and i ended up just rushing the side and just firing at the tower with the main turret and somehow took it out. One of the best feelings ever
I'm very glad to see the recent WW2 vids, those are always my favs! I'd love to see you play the 30mm Duck and/or other types of German Gun CAS/Anti-CAS giant broomstick planes again 🤘🏻🤘🏻
22:30 a teeter totter / seesaw cap would be great for a new game mode with a huge cap point, or as a replacement for that Naval single cap game mode. I wonder if it would help or compound the issue of many players going to 'the meta' point of the map if it was a straight replacement.
Between color contrast and planes not rendering, playing anti-CAS can be a pain. It's great when you're staring at a plane coming in, watch it vanish, then reappear as it engages with you XD
get keybinds for the secondary gun and the machinegun. you will be able to control the rear .50cal and aim your 45mm cannon properly. also bring APCR for the 45mm cannon. you sometimes need the extra penetration (like at 15:00). it's good for shooting at planes too because of it's high velocity.
This thing is amazing to play in it tier. I won a lot of battle with that thing. At full speed you can punch through enemy line easy and give them hell. The fact you have two gun give you a lot of fire power that can stun the enemy real quick
Anyone remember the original multi turreted train, the T-35? You could park that thing behind a rise and just fire into the enemy till they destroyed you, you were a mobile firing line😅
lol your battle with two crew around the 17 min mark....you know what would be REALLY cool and REALISTIC....if crew members would CLEAR the seat and be capable of taking a few seconds to switch between those two turrets, even dropping the driver to go full turret, or even both in one turret. tbh the latter would require to many commands, but it would be pretty easy to set the crew up to move positions by selecting the weapon selection
oh yea your right having a function where over cap is posible, meaning 5 blues and 3 reds on the point, it caps like 2 on the point, OR tbh it should be slower but not at decapping, just on the capture half
it used to be worse, the ammo racks used to be a solid block...and would almost always detonate from a hit, now that it has simulated ammo racks its a whole lot better.

Might have something to do with the fact it's a .50 cal
What are the other tanks with that feature?
I’ve played around with it a few times it’s useless but fun to toy with
@@Destroyer_21if you use "select machine gun" it can be useful for dealing with lighty armoured flankers

"Your super annoying, stop it!"
-odd as he refuses to either retreat or advance to get a clear shot
At their spawn 😂
I got stuck! Lol
@OddBawZ thats fair warthunders corners are blackholes that nobody can escape from
@@OddBawZ it was funny as all heck , I'd have done the same.
We didn't pen with the first ten shots, but if we keep aiming at the same spot it might go through due to quantum physics.
Unfortunately, the armor was reinforced with the Pauli Exclusion buff. Unless the shells have taken three years of advanced physics they won't even understand what happened.
Guess we need to use weaponized magnetic monopoles then.
in real life after shooting at one spot repeatedly the round will pen but Warthunder physics can't simulate that so nope you can't do that in the game but you can in real life
@@H-1467 It actually can, but "fatigue" is one of those mechanics that would suck gameplay wise. More than "hull break" and volumetric shenanigans.
@@H-1467they can and it used to be a mechanic early in the ground forces.
But it was cancer. So they removed it and im glad.
The mechanic just sucks

That first battle... Damn, that's a freakin' tank. Just sitting there taking the damage while slowly dealing it out.
heavy tanks in downtiers are the most fun you can have in this game. Well, that and proxy round artillery against aircraft.
Kv-1E² when gaijin?
love the intros with steve
Loving the content. You sound so much more carefree playing and the commentary is just brilliant. Much more the OddBawz I came to love

I was gonna watch a different smk video that’s older I thought this was the one I wanted to watch and I just realized this was made 10h ago..
Celery Cilantro.....damn it, Bawz...that one's gonna stick now.
I agree with the Battlefield cap reference
I hope that one day we get the T-100 heavy tank in the game, either through the new event vehicle system or through the Battle Pass.
Considering that Gaijin is now only putting two vehicles into the battle pass now, I seriously doubt that we'll ever get the T-100 in the game via the battle pass.
The T-100 paired with its Casemate version SU-100 would be cool ngl. But since the T-100 would have less firepower.
me using the SMK : 4.7 constantly

Finnaly he plays my Favorite tank

21:38 a teammate (SOBAKA) that was in a tank spawned in a plane, and for a split second the game showed the plane buried into the ground

a 6 second repair for a turret ring with only 2 crew? Good lord thats insane 16:25
Yeah, it does it SO fast. Fastest repair of any tank.
Just got new headset….. what I’ve been missing.
Awesome vid Odd 👌, another great tank in my opinion is the T-26-4 with its amazing shrapnel shell😊
They unfortunately removed its shrapnel shell last year.
@@OddBawZ Ah man! Does this mean gaijin is looking after our well-being by removing useless ammo?😂
OddBawZ is the only TH-camr who can have a long intro but it’s actually entertaining. (Support From Scotland 🏴)

Gaijin should add the option for friends to control the secondary turrets

Hey Odd,
maybe you could take out the Panther F with the He 162 as a kind of prototype lineup next?
Nice video btw👍

Wow... hero tank in the first match, holding back the entire enemy team
Looks like those insane 50 turret concept tanks
Between color contrast and planes not rendering, playing anti-CAS can be a pain. It's great when you're staring at a plane coming in, watch it vanish, then reappear as it engages with you XD
