The Cromwell V RP-3 in War Thunder is a British Tank with some rockets on the side of the turret. The Cromwell RP-3 is basically the tech tree vehicle with the added spice of having some APHE rockets that although are difficult to aim are actually very destructive.
Britain has no lack of really goofy tanks these days. The Cromwell RP-3 was the very first derp vehicle but since the Churchill Crocodile and Churchill AVRE, I suppose this little guy has been overlooked.
With no stabilizer, 100mm of penetration and solid shot... this tank is pretty difficult to master especially when your reverse gear is practically non-existent.
Regardless of its short comings, it's pretty fun to play! :)

So true
Gimme ur ge
yo odd can you please play the object 685, you still dont have a vid on it
They call me the red rocket
CodeMineMan? What are you doing here ?(again)
ah, swordfight thursday?
Play with odd again
Don't make me get the skittles...
@@thezenic_real you remembered!
every time odd says "I'm so dead" it's like he casts a spell to make the enemy whiff their shot
Don't give my secret away, thanks.
Oddbawz, that RBT-5 video will go down as one of your most legendarily fun videos you have ever uploaded on TH-cam.
RBT5 is one of the most legendarily fun vehicles in warthunder. Completely not worth the money but it is a hell of a blast to play.
@@aaronfalcon3152 in my eyes, the tears in my eyes playing it, make it well worth the money
The disrespect.
btw the Cromwells turret armour is actually 13mm thicker all round than it says ingame, it has a 13mm internal "shell" where the riveted external armour you see ingame is mounted onto. Dosent change a whole lot, but the armour is a bit better than it seems and its just a unique design
the cromwell plays like a combo from a fighting game: it goes great until you mess up, then it's probably over.
I don’t know about anyone else’s experience, but for its BR the Cromwell is surprisingly survivable, especially compared to other British tanks. Its armors not good on paper, but it’s worked pretty well for me when Ive played it. The 57mm Cromwell 1 is the one to play though.
I like it too, especially the one with the stabilizer. And the speed...
We finally have a video on the Cromwell RP-3! Keep up the content!
literally my favorite British tank, i love it so much, just requires experience with RP-3s to use
The F8F-1 Bearcat just got dropped to 4.7, making it even more of a monster in the right hands. Sounds like the perfect excuse to take it out for a CAS video.
Edit: This tank is ridiculous. It's like something out of looney tunes.
"in the right hands" dude its a 6.0 prop at 4.7 if you cant do well in that something is very wrong.
British tanks never seem to surprise me
From what i heard each letter of the word fun in "British tech tree" stands for how fun that tree is.
PS: this joke sounded better in my small mind
Being effective despite how many people (who dont even play them) say how bad they are, how much they suck, and still having a worse KD than british tanks?
That's my favourite British tank, I'm a sucker for the Cromwells and crusaders, and those rockets have saved me on multiple occasions
Even though I don’t buy premium vehicles I appreciate the cool *british* (for fucking once) ground vehicles that are being added
I wish they'd add the Staghound "Tulip" so we could get a vehicle that can aim the RP-3s vertically as well. It is satisfying when you slam on your breaks and point blank someone with the RP-3s on this.
Glad you came round on the Cromwell it didn't look great when I first looked at it in the tree but I think it has just enough armour and damage on top of some decent speed that just makes it really lethal
Those two German tank destroyers sitting there obliviously looking at the enemy spawn while you have a stand-off on the cap right behind them just sums up the War Thunder experience perfectly.
Do bring out the 6-pounder Cromwell too some time. It does have stabilized gun as you said and even better power/weight ratio.
I love to take that out together with the 47mm Tempest V, which is a beast on its own - it may be solid shot, but it's 36 big, high-pen rounds *per gun* mounted on a fast aircraft (duh, it's a Tempest at 3.7). It has great staying power and if you have allies that can clean up after you, it really can turn matches.
Glad to see at least one warthunder youtuber has the courage to play the cromwell.
The Sea Hurricane Mk IC is actually pretty fun if you know how to fly them, but it struggles more than a spitfire when facing multiple opponents. I'd like the Hurricane Mk IIC as it'd maintain the four cannons while also having some bombs.
I don't know if people tell you this often but you're an inspiration to my vision challenged self and you're also hilarious
the secret to good cromwell performance is using its decent speed and acceleration to find a good spot to wait in ambush, pick your moment, and the rush people from the side or back. It's not a medium tank, it's a light with weight issues and no spotting.
I love playing the Cromwell RP-3. It takes a lot of practice to get used to angling the rockets. I find the best tactic is to disable with the solid shot then finish off with the rocket. They all fly in slightly different directions too, so knowing which one is firing is essential for accuracy.
I love the cromwell, you play it similar to a MBT, average armour, average gun, and very fast.
meanwhile MBTs: Basically all have the same gun, are all very fast, and most have the similar armour
I've been waiting for you to do a video on this vehicle forever I love it it's so fun
I love all the rocket sounds in this game
Finally! My brother!
Btw they actually sold some Charioteers and Comet-tanks yesterday in Finland. The Finnish army used them for a few years after the war.
This thing is incredibly fun at hi teir. I've gotten alot of funny godmodes in it
I guess the rockets really do have a steep learning curve if even Odd struggles with them.
Triple ace in that last game was impressive, a vehicle I have fun in is the British premium Corsair and I usually don't enjoy playing the Corsair but at it's br it can be fun probably because in most games I've been in the enemy are in bi planes
So that’s what watching a Harlem Globetrotter’s game feels like, huh?
Honest to God, favorite tank in War Thunder!!! With the RBT-5 as a very close runner up.
I'm not claiming it's good but I really like the Firecrest. The fast firing m3 brownings and the Bristol Centarus engine just make this thing really neat for it's br
I always liked the Calliope more if I want to play with rockets. Even if they’re not great for getting kills all the time, they make a great smoke screen when needed. Being able to aim them helps too. I think they had strapped these to Firefly Sherman’s too, sad to see there isn’t one of them to play with.
The combination of luck and skill (mostly skill, of course) was a fantastic display in the last match❤😮
hey, love your content. glad that you are just doing this for fun now instead of trying to get good content. would love to see a video on the AB-43 if you haven't done one already
I absolutely loved this thing for low tier Britain. So much fun
I love the RP-3 part
Second match was one hell of a flashbang watching at 4am xD
This is one of my favorite verticals it is a lot of fun.
That was INSANE! 😱🤩🤩🤩🤩
It seems like the Cromwell is "just fast enough" to give you luck and have people mess up their snap fires / get you into position to save your butt
I saw someone for a video have background footage of the Yak-141, and I then remembered that it was completely forgotten about. Could we see a video on it?
Same with the Yak-38 and the other Russian VTOL aircraft in the air tech tree.
Ive had good luck with the crownwell, bouncing shots id never expect.
Dont get me wrong, SARC bobble head is my 3.3 go to, but the crownwell can hold its own.
The British 75mm isn't very fun to use due to the awful post pen damage, but it's actually a nightmare when you're in the Churchill VII.
you hit so many shots while moving because cristie suspension is so good.
try the T-34 series, they are amazing
I've gotten this thing from the daily crates, and it's pretty fun to use ngl
You should revisit the French LVT 4/40. It was an overpowered monster on release at 2.3, and now it sits at 3.7. side note, its very fun to bait planes with the 40mm then when they dive on you unleash the coax twin 50 cals
Pairs nicely with the Hellcat
For my tank suggestion I'd like to see the Magach 3 (ERA). I've never seen anyone use it or talk about it for quite a long time now, but my personal experience with it is that it's can be quite a survivable bunker with ERA at 8.0.
Here's an idea. The XM-Abrams or the M1A1 AIM and using the worst shell and full Ammo load for more ammo racked deaths to suffer. [Yes, I'm a Sadist whom enjoys the Ammo rack deaths.]
Love this little tank.
It's better than sherman when it comes to brawling, because it has some trully trolly armor though. It can BOUNCE.
love the sea hurricane ty
3:53 bumm! BPA_Jon moment 😁
Now since I watched his videos for a year now, I perfectly understand the English/Scottish accent 😅
Yesterday I had a wonderful game with the zerstorer (pardon me butchering it) the German 6.0 AA tank with 4 30mm drum fed cannons, and while protecting my teams cap I got 6 tank kills including an assist on an IS2 that I kept tracking, I’d love to see a video of you using it as a pure TD lol
I would be very happy to see you play the ELC BIS
You should make a video on the Pbv 302 (BILL)… Although you are my favorite War Thunder CC, I do think I would enjoy to watch you suffer… Sorry Odd
Might get hate for this vehicle, but Ive recently been trying to use it and just wanna see what a massively more skilled player than me would do with it (Besides leave it rotting in the tech tree). But if you could ever bring yourself to play the AMX-10M Id be greatly appreciative.
Love the videos, and I cant wait to see the next one.
if you could move the rockets up and down it would probably get moved up to 7.7 lol
Honestly, any tank which physically could mount them facing straight really should be able to. This included.
Could I request a video on the H-34? The one with the single bullpup missile.
More helicopter content would be fun.
About the only thing I don't like about this tank is that it's the Cromwell V, not the I. Where's mah six-pounder?! 😂
Edit: 30:22 The KV-2 wasn't firing HE, that's how you survived. It glanced off the side of your turret. A HE round probably wouldn't have bounced.
i honestly kinda prefer the 75mm, better HE and a lil more spall imo
@@r.ndomperson Yet the six-pounder is higher BR...
Oh man I love that one of your boys killed you in the 2nd game.
0:28 you have featured it before in the firecrest video
Please consider the Pz 2 50mm scout rmk, it is fantastic now since its Br remained the same as old 50mm Puma. Excellent CAS sp farmer.
I recommend you try out the Tandem MAI. I recommend using in in ground battles because, well, it ain't a nimble plane
The most fun you can have in WT :D
Surely I'm not the only one who really likes the Cromwell?
Technically the the Cromwell V should get M61 APHE not just M61 solid shot seeming that that brits did use the M61 with APHE later in the war. Unfortunately gaijin refuses the idea and so the Cromwell I remains the better choice with the 6pndr AT gun
Odd, I dare you to play the AMD.35 (SA35). The one with the 47mm. It's diabolical!
Apparently Dollarplays showed you can aim the rocket pods on the Zrinyi I? Can we get a new video on the Zrinyi I and use the Turan iii and the italian bf-109 F4 with incindiary bomb as your backup? would be a great video to see from ya bawz :D
Not watched the vid yet but I know it's amazing
Odd I have a request, I know you did a video on this a few years ago, but could you revisit T-34-85E? I just think it's neat, and a cool historical background, thank you for your time and consideration.
You see the Cromwell armour looks kinda bad but it is goofy and will bounce some hits that really should pen
Hey odd you should try the Ikv 72 for sure man! It's a great low tier TD for Sweden
YAG 10 gameplay? 🥺
you did make a vid on this tank a long time ago, pretty sure it was the same lineup too
You have played this version before on the channel, it was just a long time ago, like three or so years back? Pre pc woes at the very least... I watched it again recently iirc, you played on the desert map with the coastal town and the bridge on the other flank... You got yourself ambushed by a T34 and some other tank, having had your rp3s ammo racked I think
I still think a proxy fuse only vid would be funny.
Odd could you take a very low BR into super high BR ? How much of a BR split could you do and still be effective ? I think you clowning on high BR in a low BR would be fanatic !
I got a crazy challenge what I would like to watch where you use strapnal rounds like the ones found in the 4.0 T-34 or KV-1
Hey. i figured out that Cromwell's are VERY good angled
@OddBawZ reset and 2nd day in a row asking for the Chinese 4.0 lineup...with the plane being a P-51D-20, and the tanks the M4A1 (75) W and the T-34 (1943).
My all time fav tank
Yeah I remember a while ago I got a 75% discount for it and still I wasn't convinced to buy it. I ended up flipping a coin and bought it.
*every british enginer*:
who say british tank dont have explosive fillar?
Aw cheers Odd, made ma night this lol😊😅
What about Tiger 2 Sla 16 gameplay?
Panzer II when?
Odd i really love your vids keep it up :)
You should play the mighty FV4005 and absolutely delete Jagdtigers
Oddbawz! Play the M8 HMC!
speaking of rockets, you should try out the strv81 premium
Odd, can you do a video on SPAA that are better TDs than SPAA? Suggestions include the ZA-35, Falcon, ZSU-57-2, L/62 ANTI II, etc
When I play I get immediatly obliterated soon half my front wheel peeks behind a building. Odd plays and people literally stare at him and take 5 working days to shoot. wth.
Hey Odd you should play the UDES 33 or maybe the Strf 9040 BIL. I really enjoy the UDES but haven't researched the Strf 9040 BILL yet.😃
You playing at this BR should be a war crime, I've recently downloaded warthunder, and got 30 battles under my belt and i truly dread, coming across someone like you with 10,000 battles under your belt, doesn't seem fair at all!
BRs aren't elo tiers, they're tech tiers. Play at whatever BR you find most interesting.
Can you play the south African rooi kat I'm from south Africa so seeing someone play my nation's tank will be good and also love the content keep it up!
Rooikat MTTD honestly does look quite good
bt7m but you have to go above 40 km/h to engage a target for a speedy challenge
