Both are good if used right but I agree that the t44 is not great. The only good thing is mobility, hull armour and the mobility
@@thesnazzycomet I’ve just had better luck with it than probably most and to me the armor and the reload makes it about as useful as the Panzer 4 f2, which the gun is much better but it’s a glass cannon. But that’s just my opinion, I didn’t think it was outclassed bad enough to be on a top 5 but I used it alot when I first started WT so I may just be biased.
I personaly likr the panzer 3M, and i found it have a very good frontale armor but it's also because it was a 3.3, at his br you are often in downtier Also you said it have a bad gun because you need to aim the week spot and yes, but what it's different of other tank ? The sherman have a bad stock ap shell and a aphe with praticly the same penetration and quantity of esplosive and a biggest shell and it's worst for the t-34 because it has least penetration And the panzer 4 F2 is bigger and have worst armor (the front have the same quantity but not spaced and the sides is thinner and not spaced)
The PIIIM/L, when it was at 3.0, it was an absolute beast. When angled, it was very strong and constantly bullied other tanks, at least when I played it. It was basically a Tiger I...
Fr idk why gaijin refuses to allow Britain to have anything decent. I was in a Conway and got killed by jpz hesh. Clipped the kill cam because the round ricochets off my front plate and smacks the bottom of my turret. You can’t make this shit up.
The Char 2C was not one I was expecting. Absolutely my favorite French vehicle. Carried me through the slog that is low tier France and I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I got several 7-12 kill games with it alone, no backups. Not saying it's great, but with skill and positioning, it can really work.
It’s also worth mentioning that it has -20° of gun depression, which is insane. Sure, it’s tall so you can’t get as much use out of it as you would on a lower-profile tank, but you can still peek over some surprisingly steep hills.
I remember facing a 2c at that tanks shots from multiple tank and kills 2 in the process as everyone just kept shooting the same spots I guess. I was driving a panzer 4 H so the br should be about 3.7, I was killed by his teammate while shooting him.
The jumbo used to be 5.7, it was op then. 6.3 is fine but nostalgia glasses deem it as trash now even tho it's fine. Not every tank has to be OP, like the t44.
These two are nothing compared to the M26 Pershing at 6.7. Enjoy being the same BR as Tiger 2's and ferdinands while having worse speed and gun handling compared to a jumbo with relatively similar armor.
The fv4005 used to be such a fun vehicle to play. When I first unlocked it (about 2 years from now), it oneshotted every single tank in the game from any point of impact. I could even reliably shoot next to light vehicles and overpressure them. I swear gaijin nerfed it simply because they didn't like British players having fun for once because it was quite balanced.
I'd personally say the Czaba is one of the worst. Awful armor that even 7.62s can pen, and the gun is extremely underwhelming. The only redeeming quality of course is it's speed, but it doesn't make up for that thing's flaws.
You know I can actually recall a time when I was actually shot at by two fv4005s, I literally took two shots to the front none of them did damage, I mean these two FVs kind of just looked at me, but either way hope you have a nice Christmas Day snazzy and happy new year and Merry Christmas :)
@@thesnazzycomet I know right, me and those two fv's kind of just looked at each other because I think we were both kind of surprised that even happened personally, but that's my 105 tiger the old girl pulls through when I need her the most
Saying the panzer 3m is bad is absurd. It’s like a baby tiger angle well and it’s very hard to pen you pls it’s decent mobility and stability move at speed it’s gun reloads faster than t-34/ Sherman’s, its stability allows it to shoot first most likely. It’s honestly slept on.
@@thesnazzycomet thats true but this statement is also true for almost all medium tanks at every tier bar the most meta tanks. Their would be a list of worse tanks I’d put at that spot on the list. The m-551 sheridan is probably more fitting of that spot on the list honestly you could have found worse tanks for every spot besides that Italian tank all the others were usable vehicles. You got kills in all of the tanks in the clips.
nah the char 2C is good its fun. i almost have a 2.5kd in it with over 90 battles. yes its slow but its manouverable . you can rotate the hull quickly, you have insane gun depression and you have a decent reload for a 75mm.all in all if you can look past the mobility its good. also the armour isnt that bad its quite trolly especially against stuarts and m22
I love all Panzer III, I always bring Ausf M to my lineup's around 3.3. About Char 2C, it can be fan, when I plead it with friends we tried to do some kind of armored train it was so hilarious 😂
In regards to first place "erm erm": If M11/39 has a hundred fans, i'm one of them; if M11/39 has five fans, i'm one of them; if M11/39 has one fan, then i am that fan; if M11/39 has no fans, then i am no longer alive; if the world is against M11/39, then i am against the entire world; Till my last breath i'll support my little casemate'd friend.
Fun fact: Italy attacked Ethiopia during the early stages of the war and lost despite Italy having guns and tanks and Ethiopia having sticks and bows. Shows the incompetence of Italy.
The 3m? Ooof, i the best game of my life in this thing, 22 kills and no deaths... idk, the upgraded armour on it does kinda work and the 50mm with the fast reload is simply amazing.
It's funny that you point out how the charioteer was better, because historically speaking, the charioteer was complete and utter crap. It was basically created out of desperation and fear of Russian tanks. But the charioteer was never going to be capable of holding its own. The turret armor was incredibly thin. Despite being thicker than the fv4005, it still wouldn't have stopped much of anything above small calibers. Another major problem was visibility. After firing, there was so much smoke obscuring the gunner, that during testing the tank commanders had to step out of the vehicle in order to see for the gunner. Which is ridiculous. It was only ever deployed by countries that Britain sold the tank to. So countries like Jordan were the only places that saw the tank in action. The charioteer was a failure because it was never even intended to be a success. Basically a placeholder
I love the jumbo(75 and 76) but with the 76 its only good in down teers and if you find a tiger 2 you are cooked the only "great" thing about having the 76 is the stabilizer but that doesn't make up for the opponents you go against, the 76 needs to be sent back to around 5.7 and the 75 at 5.2 you would still be late to the party with your gun but at least your armor wouldn't be a sheet of cardstock.
Bad take, my fav and one of my best stats are on the 75 japanese sherman The gun is reliable, the stab is great, good mobility, decent armour You can't expect to go head on with Russians but if you get a good position you can diffinitly get tons of kills and only relying on your armour when needed
The Jumbo 76 is not bad. I have slaughtered 6.7 german teams with it. Your armor is good and your gone might seem lacking but if your smart with it you can kill most things.
@@TainyaGaming I will 100% agree with that. Most people who love it are like me with a few thousand hours (I have about 4.5k). It over br for sure but where its at its not useless you just gotta kinda play it right.
@hellcatt5887 oh trust me dawg, until I grinded out a lot of Germany using the premium kingtiger, my most played time was on the 76 jumbo, I love it, full uptiers it's utter shit but it can do well
Playing all the way through to top tier in Britain… it is all about penetration. You never really rely on aphe so it’s all about getting through the armor.
i think the funniest moment i have had in war thunder was in the 109g a little while back where i had a lot of HE rounds with me and they cooked when i got sniped by a british tank. i blew up so bad it disintegrated my tank, nothing left but a bomb crater where i was sitting, and the game announcer voice was like, "the gunner has been knocked unconscious!"
Funny thing is... I had one of my best single rounds ever in a stock M48. I know its not on this list, but honestly sometimes everything comes together even in absolutely crap vehicles! I always encourage people to have a go with everything they unlock. Never know what BS you can pull!
I feel like Hesh's problems have to come from volumetric or something, it seems like if you hit any intersecting pieces of armor it's just very likely to whiff and do no damage -- like, it can't calculate where the spall is supposed to emit from or something like that. Anyhow, the... Conrad, I think it's called, is basically just the FV4005 but better, since it has slightly better armor and can take APDS. Also big agree; the 76 Jumbo is way overhyped and not particularly good.
The archer should be there. It is slow and it drives backwards; so even though it has a 17-pounder I can't remember ever even being able toline up a shot on anyone.
I love the 76 jumbo because I love Sherman’s and it is the penultimate version however your reasoning is very sound and something I have experienced a great deal of in matches as I have to pretend the armor doesn’t exist and just be pleasantly surprised if it bounces something but I just have to use it like a medium with crappy guns and mobility
11:21 Yes, it is. I'm aware that the 76 jumbo is not a great tank by any means but when you use it right and hit that moment where the enemy team is left with panthers and tigers it feels so great to use. I'd argue that the T1E1 90mm is worse, it has pretty much the same issues but it's armor is even worse. M26 Pershing is a contender even. Edit: 13:42 yeah,your only option pretty much is to shoot their gun, but at least you can do that before your enemy with the stabilizer, poor Pershing is even slower with no stabilizer and still cant pen most things 76 can't also, with the APHE round. Edit2: 14;40 not to be that guy but the 76 jumbo is slightly faster (as in hp/t, otherwise T25 has a better max speed and amazing reverse gear) than the T25 and has a stabilizer so.., the only reason to use the T25 is the gun and that's up to personal preference at that point. Personally I don't find 90m much different from 76. Edit3: 14:55 That was a lot of ranting sorry. The Pershing is still slower than jumbo by about a single hp/t, I think jumbo was like 13 hp/t and pershing 12 hp/t or something. This was a good video though, keep it up!
When you've played so much WT you make a lineup consisting of as many of these vehicles as possible just because they perform so badly and/or look freaking absurd
i have to agree on the number one pick, however it's also specifically why i adore it. I view it more as a challenge to use it, alongside it's comical appearance.
76 jumbo is one of my favourite tanks. If you see long 88 you’r done but mostly panthers and tiger 1s don’t know where to shoot you because german mains
The Panzer III M isn’t special but it’s good. The Jumbo 76 and 2C are meta in down tiers. These three do not belong on a worst vehicles list, far from it.
I personally adore the Jumbo 76. In a 6.3 lineup you can run the Bulldog and T-25 I believe and once you've used one or both those vehicles the Jumbo will role out against Panters and Tigers due to it being near the late stages of the game.
Actually the M11/39 is one of my top favorit tanks of al time. But thats becaus of a lot of memoris from BF1942 Road to Rome expantion pack. I also like the design😊
The 76 jumbo is certianly overtiered, but its really strong imo because things like tigers and panthers, as well as the IS-2 if you can get the first shot off, are not threatening at all with the 76. the 75 jumbo, however, is absolute cheeks
I vote for all the T-54's that sit at 8.0 without rangefinders, stabilizers, and the same garbage turret rotation speed, mobility and armor. They are pretty much the same 1950's tanks that get to face vehicles from the 1980's and 90's. It's "only" nearing 40+ years of technological progress between it and the enemies it faces.
Shoutout to the BM-8-24 A rocket Lauscher Tank at BR 1.0 (or 1.3) with an amazing 9mm of amor pen and nowhere near enough explosive filler to overpressure anything. If it has any ammount of amor and is a completely enclosed vehicle, the BM-8-24 is cooked in a very literall sense as it has a completely exposed rocket rack that will give the two crew members a very fiery death. BTW gaijin demands 2k GE for this trash.
I CARE ABOUT THAT LAST ITALIAN TANK. I even bought the crappy camo from the gaijin market for it. I love that tank cause it can do enough to everything at its br PLUS the 7.7 turret. Against biplanes it is actually great SPAA! I keep it in my 1.0 lineup to use mostly as SPAA that doesnt die to MGs of the planes of the BR :)
with the sherman jumbo it got bumped up to 5.3 then to 5.7 witch screwed over the 5.3 line for America. i loved the sherman jumbo at 5.3 and the 76 at 6.3 more so it wasnt really about your armor anymore i mean you could bounce some shots here and there ( remeber fightting a Tiger 2 and ferdy and was jsut fightting for my life i won but dam). but its a fun vechicel to play every now and then i think with the sturmtiger everyone knew it wasnt going to be good its a meme vechical. personally i just use it on open maps and jsut aim it with the like gunner thign that lets you raise and lower your gun cant remeber what they was but basically range find than gunner distant and let it rip. also dont take alot of ammo in ti and sit in the back heck i ran out of ammo a few times and when that happens boy is that thing tanky when it runs out
I can accept the M11/39 being called bad, although I've had moderate success with it, winning Survivor with it is possible, but the 2C??? that thing is pretty damn good, it has crazy survivability and a nuke APHE that one shots everything it pens as demonstrated in this video, I have a 4 K/D with it and that's just for my first 100 kills. Merry Christmas and a happy new year y'all!
To be fair, the FV4005 was meant as a stopgap vehicle in case war broke out with the Soviet Union and the tank that the gun was to be mounted, the FV215, isn't finished.
Playing the olifant mk2 tonight has made me want to cry. Please someone tell me it gets better. All I’ve achieved tonight is handing out free experience and SL.
2C IS OP AAAH It now has 77 mm of pen and use the reverse gear to retreat in a dangerous situation, use a line-up where you get downtiered and just aim completly with your hull and angle if you can Also hide behind a building also helps I get like 5+ killstreaks every non uptier match and even in an uptier i do well becouse of my line up
It's interesting how different WT and WT mobile are. I'm a mobile player, so hearing how things are in PC version is... Well, I don't really get why it's like that. Panzer 3M in mobile actually one tier higher, then in PC, with no improvement whatsoever. It faces t34 (42) and stz as their main opponent. You can imagine how "well" it plays when there is no realistic battles, only arcade. While Jumbo 76 is ridiculously OP, it's on the same tier as Jumbo 75, which is dumb af, and it shares it's tier with tanks like Tiger 1H, t34 85 d5, m4a2, etc. This tank can pen everyone, no one can pen it, save for few really big guns
The char 2c definitely didn't deserve a spot in this list. If you play it right, its an amazing vehicle and tons of fun to use. Its the only vehicle in the game that was managed to get me more than 10 kills in a single game without deaths, while im on console (war thunder on console is such a pain). I would say its gun is bad (or particularly good), its just very very stupid. Its a low velocity 75mm with just 66mm of pen, which is not great until you remember this thing has 350 grams of HE filler (for reference, the is-2 has 250 grams), which means if you pen something, which isn't as hard as it seems since at 2.3 you're mostly fighting toddlers, its guaranteed to knock out its entire crew. And on top of that, you get 12 crewmen inside, so it can tank an insane amount of shots without dying. Lastly, it gets 20 degrees of gun depression, which makes it perfect for hull-down engagements, which is something this thing excels at
Merry Christmas everyone. In my opinion the Japanese M47 and the other tank before or after it, can't remember, the Type 61, the one which is literally a bigger domestic built M41.
For context, I played from start to 9.3 in Japan, spent 3-4 years grinding to top tier and those two are the ones that give me a panic attack/PTSD whenever I glance at them. Not even the Ha-Go, the worst starter tank for Japan isn't feeling as bad as those two
I personally really likes they STAs and they type 61 they are great for long distances beacuse of their rangefinders and the solid 90mm guns +the decente mobility the platform has for the BR, however i can see the armour lacking
PZ III M and 76 jumbo are just ok vehicles that are slightly outclassed by other vehicles of their line-up, they don't deserve to be on this list imo. And the char 2c deffinetly doesn't deserve to be here, yes it's got problems but damn can it be an absolute menace on just about every map: when you got hills you can use your commical -20° of gun depression, when you've got urban you can use your better then average reverse to peak and retreat and you don't have to worry about long range, cause all the low tier maps are small.. i quite consistantly get good games with it (if i don't get bombed) and even quite often get 10+ kill games because the enemy just can't get all the crew out in time. some worst tank contenders (that i've played, so up to rank IV or V for every nation exept israel) would be: M2 medium : very cramped crew, manual turret traverse is horrible, just use a stuart please M2A2 : hilariously funny goblin tank but the .50cal main armament just isn't enough PZIII J : manual turret, meh gun, longer then average reload, 30mm turret armor (50 on the hull), not that fast (13.8 hp/t) PZIII B : worst panzer in the game, very bad 37mm, 14mm of armor, 35kp/h top speed,... one of the worst reserves in the game T-26-4 : oh god that gun is terrible and the rest is also real bad T-28(1938) : same terrible gun as on the T-26-4 but at least it's faster, has better armor and better survivability, still terrible though GAZ-AAA (4M) : truck with 4 lmg's, easy pickings for just about everything but at least it can shoot down planes well enough ZSU-37 : amazing auto cannon for 3.3 but the rest is just lacking to much (no armor, no speed, no reation time, bad survivability,...) Light AA mk1 : simular to GAZ-AAA but at least it has some protection Churchill III : not enough of anything to be competetive on any level (to slow, nearly medium tank armor, meh gun, bad survivability,...) Churchill NA75 : same as Churchill III but at a higher br with worse armor in trade for lower pen, longer reload, unstabilised APHE (not really worth it imo) Ha-Go : pre-reserve 1.0 for a reason, terrible gun, bad mobility, 2 man crew, terrible armor,... Chi-To : over br'ed late PZ IV equivalent, (slightly) above average gun, bad armor, bad survivability, massive target, ok mobility Type-60 ATM : OH HELL NO LVT(A)(4) (ZIS-2) : great gun on a terrible chassy, lack of mobility, unarmored, massive target, no turret traverse, open topped,... ZSL92 : 32.5 second reload on an AA which is lacking severely in AA cabibilities and is even worse at AT, massive unarmored target with very mediocre mobility for a wheeled vehicle L6/40 : insanely wobly 20mm with bad clip size, lengthy reload, meh armor, 2 man crew, very slow,... M13/40(I) and (III) : completely outclassed by every equivalent oponent it can face, slow, meh armor, cramped crew, underwhelming gun,... M15/42 : also completely outclassed, very bad armor at 2.7, very underpowered gun, still slow as hell (+38 to -3kp/h), just a dissapointment 75/32 M41 : the worst of the semovente's, terrible reload, terrible mobility, bad survivability, ok gun, completely outclassed by it's own upgrade at the same br ALL of the pre-reserve french tanks, but especially the AMX-34 YR with it's 27mm pen and 7.8 sec reload AMX-13 (fl11) : slightly faster chaffee without a stabiliser or .50cal, less crew, worse reverse, same gun, and 2 br's higher!! ELC bis : why no scouting? ;-; VIckers mk E : the prequal of the T-26 which is already one of the worst reserve tanks... BT-42 : the gun just doesn't work and you'll be dead before you reload IKV 103 : 400mm pen at 4.0 and it's still terrible Pvkv m/43 (1963) : terrible mobility compaired to it's predecesor in trade for a nearly useless roof and APDS which you won't even use most likely U-SH 204 GK : tiny rat but just not good enough AT capabilities to hold your own Strv 74 : why would you ever take this over the Strv m/42 DT (which is 2 br's lower) (a lot of these vehicles are at very low tiers cause gaijin doesn't care to try to balance rank 1 at all)
I always thought the M4A3E2 76 was a horrible tank, and to prove it to myself, I brought it to 6.7, and proceeded to perform better than any other tank, multiple games ina row. Idk how, it just simply works. There's no reason for it to work, it simple does. In other words, I'm extremely offended that you put it on this list.
Pnz 3 M?!??? we have a lot of catching up to do bro.... i love that thing. it really isnt the worst. I wouldve thought that france wouldve filled all of these positions lol. but maybe that's not totally fair.
the jumbos (both 75 and 76) have the same issue, a terrible gun. "ohhh but you can just pen their cupolas" yeah you usually can't with the 75 and the 76's tier is too high to take proper advantage of that
20:19 the sturmtiger is good it has decent front armour and you don’t even need to aim properly because it van hit the ground 20 feet beside it and kill him and his allies near him
The problem with most bad tanks is the wrong br rating. Most of them are too high and should be 0.5 or 1.0 br lower. Gaijin is just looking at stats instead of what the tank has as gun and armor.
I love the long barrel jumbo, I call it the Goshawk (because of its userskin). I thought that it was the perfect tank. Perfect armour, decent mobility, and not totally amazing but not totally awful firepower. I loved the fact that I no longer get one shotted by germans unlike the other shermans. Dealing with Tigers and Panthers no longer were a problem, spearheading the entire team was my gameplay with this, be aggressive but also calculated. Unfortunately when I get uptiered, it is true that King Tigers and IS-3s just churn my armour like hot butter, I usually just play as a supporting fire vehicle. I get close with bigger better armoured eammates and give supporting fire, overall for me this tank is fairly decent, its great in downtiers and it definitely has various play style depending on your teammates, the map and ofcourse the br you're fighting. Great video analysis by the way 🎉
Merry Christmas all! Hope you enjoy this little present from me to you ❤

The Sturmtiger is an amazing cross-map killing machine. Once seen a player get a cross-map on El Alamein at the start of the game. Absolute madman
@@AHSValor by luck though, not skill
As a jumbo lover i can only say that it performs perfectly in downtiers but is total garbage in a uptier
nah the char 2C is good its fun. i almost have a 2.5kd in it with over 90 battles. yes its slow but its manouverable . you can rotate the hull quickly, you have insane gun depression and you have a decent reload for a 75mm.all in all if you can look past the mobility its good. also the armour isnt that bad its quite trolly especially against stuarts and m22
I have the best K/D ratio with the Pz 3 M, it felt incredible playing that absolute beast
I love all Panzer III, I always bring Ausf M to my lineup's around 3.3. About Char 2C, it can be fan, when I plead it with friends we tried to do some kind of armored train it was so hilarious 😂
@gaben_WT that sounds quite funny tbh
Merry Christmas brother! Love the videos, and this series :3
Also, if you have it, I’d recommend the AMX-10M
Thank you and to you too! :3
The French rank 1 tank that doesn't even have enough pen to even take out a half track
@@pilotbt1617 which is?
@@thesnazzycometI believe it’s the h39. They literally removed it because it was so shit. I have it unlocked on my account.
all french tanks suck due to the horrible rounds they fling, like wtf were they thinking.
gimme a aphe for my ARL44 already
In regards to first place "erm erm": If M11/39 has a hundred fans, i'm one of them; if M11/39 has five fans, i'm one of them; if M11/39 has one fan, then i am that fan; if M11/39 has no fans, then i am no longer alive; if the world is against M11/39, then i am against the entire world; Till my last breath i'll support my little casemate'd friend.
Also Merry Christmas Snazzy :)
Glad to see another M11/39 enjoyer out there
Fun fact acout the Sturmtiger: if there's no round in the breech, you can be overpressured through it.
Fun fact: Italy attacked Ethiopia during the early stages of the war and lost despite Italy having guns and tanks and Ethiopia having sticks and bows. Shows the incompetence of Italy.
@@griffinstillplays well there you go
Didn't they need chemical weapons?
The 3m? Ooof, i the best game of my life in this thing, 22 kills and no deaths... idk, the upgraded armour on it does kinda work and the 50mm with the fast reload is simply amazing.
also using the worst aphe shell isnt helping at all. with apcr you have 2 hit kills in 7.5 seconds with aced crew.
Right? I wont take the pz3m slander
They should have just put the 182 in a casemate instead of a tank
@@EthanJanneck-hj4hy probably might have helped
21:53 that must have been the scariest moment of his life💀
It's funny that you point out how the charioteer was better, because historically speaking, the charioteer was complete and utter crap.
It was basically created out of desperation and fear of Russian tanks. But the charioteer was never going to be capable of holding its own.
The turret armor was incredibly thin. Despite being thicker than the fv4005, it still wouldn't have stopped much of anything above small calibers.
Another major problem was visibility. After firing, there was so much smoke obscuring the gunner, that during testing the tank commanders had to step out of the vehicle in order to see for the gunner.
Which is ridiculous.
It was only ever deployed by countries that Britain sold the tank to. So countries like Jordan were the only places that saw the tank in action.
The charioteer was a failure because it was never even intended to be a success. Basically a placeholder
The panzer 3M/L advantage is its sice, you can be an absolute rat in it and disappear behind the cenery
@@hupfgugell1522 I’ll have to try that!
keep up with the video essays. I know one can make so many videos about limited information of a single game but i enjoy these
also please include the metric units too
@@talon9639 yeah I can try, just gotta think of more topics :)
I love the jumbo(75 and 76) but with the 76 its only good in down teers and if you find a tiger 2 you are cooked the only "great" thing about having the 76 is the stabilizer but that doesn't make up for the opponents you go against, the 76 needs to be sent back to around 5.7 and the 75 at 5.2 you would still be late to the party with your gun but at least your armor wouldn't be a sheet of cardstock.
Cant you turretcheek tiger 2?
@idkhowtonameme1 no, maybe with apcr but thats a big if. turrent cheeks on the tiger 2 are 180mm unless you mean the tiger 2 p then yea
it's still better than the T-44 at 6.7
Bad take, my fav and one of my best stats are on the 75 japanese sherman
The gun is reliable, the stab is great, good mobility, decent armour
You can't expect to go head on with Russians but if you get a good position you can diffinitly get tons of kills and only relying on your armour when needed
@@miroo7736 you mean the 76 one at 5.7 right?
0:05 Merry Christmas to you also man! ❤️
you should see the 2 pounder of the Churchill I if you think the 50mm pz III gun is mediocre at its battle rating
@@edreinadar15 nah people say the Churchill is op
The Jumbo 76 is not bad. I have slaughtered 6.7 german teams with it. Your armor is good and your gone might seem lacking but if your smart with it you can kill most things.
So it's the French tank problem where it stays at a high bar cause you the only people really playing it are good with it
@@TainyaGaming I will 100% agree with that. Most people who love it are like me with a few thousand hours (I have about 4.5k). It over br for sure but where its at its not useless you just gotta kinda play it right.
@hellcatt5887 oh trust me dawg, until I grinded out a lot of Germany using the premium kingtiger, my most played time was on the 76 jumbo, I love it, full uptiers it's utter shit but it can do well
Merry Christmas bro
Wish u all the best 🔥❤️

Merry Christmas everyone
Also the Stardew music at 15:01 made me happy

fv4005 got hit so hard after the hesh nerfs
I've always used the M11/39 as an ambush vehicle, post up in a spot players will travel through but not pay attention in... but I do agree completely.
@@williamwheeler2284 Uhuh…
Playing all the way through to top tier in Britain… it is all about penetration. You never really rely on aphe so it’s all about getting through the armor.
10:55 they should add the open top autoloading version of the FV
@@twurtle12hd39 it’d be even worse xD
Real testing with 4005 had shown that it didn't need to pen to actually destroy the tank and/or kill the occupants.
@@williampremo2197 well then it should be better than it is
same with L3/33 🤴
i think the funniest moment i have had in war thunder was in the 109g a little while back where i had a lot of HE rounds with me and they cooked when i got sniped by a british tank. i blew up so bad it disintegrated my tank, nothing left but a bomb crater where i was sitting, and the game announcer voice was like, "the gunner has been knocked unconscious!"
@@codyh123ful ah yes, the unconscious chargrilled gunner launched into orbit
Funny thing is... I had one of my best single rounds ever in a stock M48. I know its not on this list, but honestly sometimes everything comes together even in absolutely crap vehicles!
I always encourage people to have a go with everything they unlock. Never know what BS you can pull!
I feel like Hesh's problems have to come from volumetric or something, it seems like if you hit any intersecting pieces of armor it's just very likely to whiff and do no damage -- like, it can't calculate where the spall is supposed to emit from or something like that. Anyhow, the... Conrad, I think it's called, is basically just the FV4005 but better, since it has slightly better armor and can take APDS. Also big agree; the 76 Jumbo is way overhyped and not particularly good.
The archer should be there. It is slow and it drives backwards; so even though it has a 17-pounder I can't remember ever even being able toline up a shot on anyone.
@@Thomas-d8k7n was an honourable mention on the first top 5
that shermanis close to where i live 2:46
I love the 76 jumbo because I love Sherman’s and it is the penultimate version however your reasoning is very sound and something I have experienced a great deal of in matches as I have to pretend the armor doesn’t exist and just be pleasantly surprised if it bounces something but I just have to use it like a medium with crappy guns and mobility
11:21 Yes, it is. I'm aware that the 76 jumbo is not a great tank by any means but when you use it right and hit that moment where the enemy team is left with panthers and tigers it feels so great to use. I'd argue that the T1E1 90mm is worse, it has pretty much the same issues but it's armor is even worse. M26 Pershing is a contender even.
Edit: 13:42 yeah,your only option pretty much is to shoot their gun, but at least you can do that before your enemy with the stabilizer, poor Pershing is even slower with no stabilizer and still cant pen most things 76 can't also, with the APHE round.
Edit2: 14;40 not to be that guy but the 76 jumbo is slightly faster (as in hp/t, otherwise T25 has a better max speed and amazing reverse gear) than the T25 and has a stabilizer so.., the only reason to use the T25 is the gun and that's up to personal preference at that point. Personally I don't find 90m much different from 76.
Edit3: 14:55 That was a lot of ranting sorry. The Pershing is still slower than jumbo by about a single hp/t, I think jumbo was like 13 hp/t and pershing 12 hp/t or something.
This was a good video though, keep it up!
@@katyusha1283 I am just gonna say a jumbo is NOT winning a race with a Pershing

@@_warren6659 thanks! Happy Christmas
Your #1 tank (already forgot it's name) have 1 redeeming feature, the turret is good at Anti-air role. Rotates pretty fast and has a double MG.
@@r-saint really small magazine
When you've played so much WT you make a lineup consisting of as many of these vehicles as possible just because they perform so badly and/or look freaking absurd
@@ThommyofThenn so true, I do actually do that sometimes
i have to agree on the number one pick, however it's also specifically why i adore it. I view it more as a challenge to use it, alongside it's comical appearance.
@@catt0215 interesting but I understand
I love the look of the FCM 36, and not because it looks "comical", I think it just looks really cool and unique.
And its actually considered the first tank in history to have sloped armor
@@Hulldown_hero-A1 You can see sloped armour on the ft-17.
APCR pen got ninja nerfed, I remember 76mm APCR could pen over 200mm, but now its 188mm.
9:49 FV4005 isn’t a bad tank it’s just terribly modelled
76 jumbo preformed relatively well for me but definitely stopped using it as soon as I got the t26e5 & Pershing
@@MSD3939 yeah that sums it up
76 jumbo is one of my favourite tanks. If you see long 88 you’r done but mostly panthers and tiger 1s don’t know where to shoot you because german mains
The Panzer III M isn’t special but it’s good. The Jumbo 76 and 2C are meta in down tiers. These three do not belong on a worst vehicles list, far from it.
I haven't played the leopard 1 in a year or two but i remember getting 10 plus kill games in it
its been 8.0 for a while
@thatonefries oof
I personally adore the Jumbo 76. In a 6.3 lineup you can run the Bulldog and T-25 I believe and once you've used one or both those vehicles the Jumbo will role out against Panters and Tigers due to it being near the late stages of the game.
I find the APCR in tge jumbo quite fun, but always shoot the gun barrel first if you can´t pen him and brawl verrrry close
not bringing APCR out in jumbos is a crime.
Actually the M11/39 is one of my top favorit tanks of al time. But thats becaus of a lot of memoris from BF1942 Road to Rome expantion pack. I also like the design😊
13:40 basically all US tech tree from 5.0 to 1st abrams, you are always the slowest and the less powerfull gun around
Panzer 3 is my personal favorite a lot of people underestimate it. (I play on the outskirts)
The 76 jumbo is certianly overtiered, but its really strong imo because things like tigers and panthers, as well as the IS-2 if you can get the first shot off, are not threatening at all with the 76. the 75 jumbo, however, is absolute cheeks
8:14I think this is not a problem of developers, but a problem of the British military-industrial complex
I vote for all the T-54's that sit at 8.0 without rangefinders, stabilizers, and the same garbage turret rotation speed, mobility and armor. They are pretty much the same 1950's tanks that get to face vehicles from the 1980's and 90's. It's "only" nearing 40+ years of technological progress between it and the enemies it faces.
@@asuicidalclown lol I see your point tbf
Chinas t54s are way better at the same br as the soviet counterparts
Not exactly the worst, but by far the most derpy ones.
@@merafirewing6591 number 1 is definitely bad idk what would beat it

Shoutout to the BM-8-24
A rocket Lauscher Tank at BR 1.0 (or 1.3) with an amazing 9mm of amor pen and nowhere near enough explosive filler to overpressure anything.
If it has any ammount of amor and is a completely enclosed vehicle, the BM-8-24 is cooked in a very literall sense as it has a completely exposed rocket rack that will give the two crew members a very fiery death.
BTW gaijin demands 2k GE for this trash.
I just uptier it to try fight hellcats, the only thing I have been able to kill with it so far xD
@ghostarmy1106 oh yeah a classic disaster. Plus it’s expensive too
I CARE ABOUT THAT LAST ITALIAN TANK. I even bought the crappy camo from the gaijin market for it. I love that tank cause it can do enough to everything at its br PLUS the 7.7 turret. Against biplanes it is actually great SPAA! I keep it in my 1.0 lineup to use mostly as SPAA that doesnt die to MGs of the planes of the BR :)
The Jumbo is my go to tank for the kill tanks with a heavy tank daily. It's great
Merry Christmas eve everyone. Currently playing the fv4005 while watching this (grinding fox and scimitar)
with the sherman jumbo it got bumped up to 5.3 then to 5.7 witch screwed over the 5.3 line for America.
i loved the sherman jumbo at 5.3 and the 76 at 6.3 more so it wasnt really about your armor anymore i mean you could bounce some shots here and there ( remeber fightting a Tiger 2 and ferdy and was jsut fightting for my life i won but dam). but its a fun vechicel to play every now and then
i think with the sturmtiger everyone knew it wasnt going to be good its a meme vechical. personally i just use it on open maps and jsut aim it with the like gunner thign that lets you raise and lower your gun cant remeber what they was but basically range find than gunner distant and let it rip. also dont take alot of ammo in ti and sit in the back heck i ran out of ammo a few times and when that happens boy is that thing tanky when it runs out
I can accept the M11/39 being called bad, although I've had moderate success with it, winning Survivor with it is possible, but the 2C??? that thing is pretty damn good, it has crazy survivability and a nuke APHE that one shots everything it pens as demonstrated in this video, I have a 4 K/D with it and that's just for my first 100 kills.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year y'all!
@@giovannifoulmouth7205 hey it’s what the people voted 🤷♂️

To be fair, the FV4005 was meant as a stopgap vehicle in case war broke out with the Soviet Union and the tank that the gun was to be mounted, the FV215, isn't finished.

@@thesnazzycomet that's why I said it's a stopgap vehicle.
Bro the Panzer 3M is a very good tank in my opinion you got a pretty good gun and not really bad armor
For anyone playing first leopard 1 I would say play it like an m16 hellcat with and 105 gun and top armor
the thing i hate the most is those kv2 teammates that go urban fighting, thats so dumb…
I like the upbeat tone, when discussing such a depressing topic. I guess that's part of the British humo(u)r.
@@r-saint it’s fake laughing, only the tears are real 😂
The panzer 3 M used to be at 3.0 and a complete beast
It preformed so well taht its now at 3.3 and facing upteirs every match wich is sad
hating on the sturmtiger is crazy. If you choose to brawl in that thing it's more your own fault
Leopard 1 is great. The only bad thing is 8.0 being full with rat tanks that just shred you
I don’t think a normal person would agree with any of this bs but the last one.
@@stacosaurus nice pfp
I do like the m4a3e2 76, but it is horribly over tiered for what it should be at. It shouldn't be higher than 5.7 ever.
Playing the olifant mk2 tonight has made me want to cry. Please someone tell me it gets better. All I’ve achieved tonight is handing out free experience and SL.
In war Thunder mobile, the 76 Jumbo isn't too bad. The worst part is that the gun seems so inaccurate
2C IS OP AAAH
It now has 77 mm of pen and use the reverse gear to retreat in a dangerous situation, use a line-up where you get downtiered and just aim completly with your hull and angle if you can
Also hide behind a building also helps
I get like 5+ killstreaks every non uptier match and even in an uptier i do well becouse of my line up
But it is super slow
@thesnazzycomet on some big maps is that a problem but most maps at 2.3 are not THAT big
It's interesting how different WT and WT mobile are. I'm a mobile player, so hearing how things are in PC version is... Well, I don't really get why it's like that.
Panzer 3M in mobile actually one tier higher, then in PC, with no improvement whatsoever. It faces t34 (42) and stz as their main opponent. You can imagine how "well" it plays when there is no realistic battles, only arcade.
While Jumbo 76 is ridiculously OP, it's on the same tier as Jumbo 75, which is dumb af, and it shares it's tier with tanks like Tiger 1H, t34 85 d5, m4a2, etc. This tank can pen everyone, no one can pen it, save for few really big guns
The char 2c definitely didn't deserve a spot in this list. If you play it right, its an amazing vehicle and tons of fun to use. Its the only vehicle in the game that was managed to get me more than 10 kills in a single game without deaths, while im on console (war thunder on console is such a pain). I would say its gun is bad (or particularly good), its just very very stupid. Its a low velocity 75mm with just 66mm of pen, which is not great until you remember this thing has 350 grams of HE filler (for reference, the is-2 has 250 grams), which means if you pen something, which isn't as hard as it seems since at 2.3 you're mostly fighting toddlers, its guaranteed to knock out its entire crew. And on top of that, you get 12 crewmen inside, so it can tank an insane amount of shots without dying. Lastly, it gets 20 degrees of gun depression, which makes it perfect for hull-down engagements, which is something this thing excels at
Merry Christmas everyone.
In my opinion the Japanese M47 and the other tank before or after it, can't remember, the Type 61, the one which is literally a bigger domestic built M41.
For context, I played from start to 9.3 in Japan, spent 3-4 years grinding to top tier and those two are the ones that give me a panic attack/PTSD whenever I glance at them. Not even the Ha-Go, the worst starter tank for Japan isn't feeling as bad as those two
I personally really likes they STAs and they type 61 they are great for long distances beacuse of their rangefinders and the solid 90mm guns +the decente mobility the platform has for the BR, however i can see the armour lacking
3m is really good imo the addon armor is trolly af and it high hardness armor
PZ III M and 76 jumbo are just ok vehicles that are slightly outclassed by other vehicles of their line-up, they don't deserve to be on this list imo. And the char 2c deffinetly doesn't deserve to be here, yes it's got problems but damn can it be an absolute menace on just about every map: when you got hills you can use your commical -20° of gun depression, when you've got urban you can use your better then average reverse to peak and retreat and you don't have to worry about long range, cause all the low tier maps are small..
i quite consistantly get good games with it (if i don't get bombed) and even quite often get 10+ kill games because the enemy just can't get all the crew out in time.
some worst tank contenders (that i've played, so up to rank IV or V for every nation exept israel) would be:
M2 medium : very cramped crew, manual turret traverse is horrible, just use a stuart please
M2A2 : hilariously funny goblin tank but the .50cal main armament just isn't enough
PZIII J : manual turret, meh gun, longer then average reload, 30mm turret armor (50 on the hull), not that fast (13.8 hp/t)
PZIII B : worst panzer in the game, very bad 37mm, 14mm of armor, 35kp/h top speed,... one of the worst reserves in the game
T-26-4 : oh god that gun is terrible and the rest is also real bad
T-28(1938) : same terrible gun as on the T-26-4 but at least it's faster, has better armor and better survivability, still terrible though
GAZ-AAA (4M) : truck with 4 lmg's, easy pickings for just about everything but at least it can shoot down planes well enough
ZSU-37 : amazing auto cannon for 3.3 but the rest is just lacking to much (no armor, no speed, no reation time, bad survivability,...)
Light AA mk1 : simular to GAZ-AAA but at least it has some protection
Churchill III : not enough of anything to be competetive on any level (to slow, nearly medium tank armor, meh gun, bad survivability,...)
Churchill NA75 : same as Churchill III but at a higher br with worse armor in trade for lower pen, longer reload, unstabilised APHE (not really worth it imo)
Ha-Go : pre-reserve 1.0 for a reason, terrible gun, bad mobility, 2 man crew, terrible armor,...
Chi-To : over br'ed late PZ IV equivalent, (slightly) above average gun, bad armor, bad survivability, massive target, ok mobility
Type-60 ATM : OH HELL NO
LVT(A)(4) (ZIS-2) : great gun on a terrible chassy, lack of mobility, unarmored, massive target, no turret traverse, open topped,...
ZSL92 : 32.5 second reload on an AA which is lacking severely in AA cabibilities and is even worse at AT, massive unarmored target with very mediocre mobility for a wheeled vehicle
L6/40 : insanely wobly 20mm with bad clip size, lengthy reload, meh armor, 2 man crew, very slow,...
M13/40(I) and (III) : completely outclassed by every equivalent oponent it can face, slow, meh armor, cramped crew, underwhelming gun,...
M15/42 : also completely outclassed, very bad armor at 2.7, very underpowered gun, still slow as hell (+38 to -3kp/h), just a dissapointment
75/32 M41 : the worst of the semovente's, terrible reload, terrible mobility, bad survivability, ok gun, completely outclassed by it's own upgrade at the same br
ALL of the pre-reserve french tanks, but especially the AMX-34 YR with it's 27mm pen and 7.8 sec reload
AMX-13 (fl11) : slightly faster chaffee without a stabiliser or .50cal, less crew, worse reverse, same gun, and 2 br's higher!!
ELC bis : why no scouting? ;-;
VIckers mk E : the prequal of the T-26 which is already one of the worst reserve tanks...
BT-42 : the gun just doesn't work and you'll be dead before you reload
IKV 103 : 400mm pen at 4.0 and it's still terrible
Pvkv m/43 (1963) : terrible mobility compaired to it's predecesor in trade for a nearly useless roof and APDS which you won't even use most likely
U-SH 204 GK : tiny rat but just not good enough AT capabilities to hold your own
Strv 74 : why would you ever take this over the Strv m/42 DT (which is 2 br's lower)
(a lot of these vehicles are at very low tiers cause gaijin doesn't care to try to balance rank 1 at all)
I always thought the M4A3E2 76 was a horrible tank, and to prove it to myself, I brought it to 6.7, and proceeded to perform better than any other tank, multiple games ina row. Idk how, it just simply works. There's no reason for it to work, it simple does.
In other words, I'm extremely offended that you put it on this list.
Pnz 3 M?!??? we have a lot of catching up to do bro.... i love that thing. it really isnt the worst. I wouldve thought that france wouldve filled all of these positions lol. but maybe that's not totally fair.
Happy Christmas eve
@@Solar245 happy Christmas Eve!
the jumbos (both 75 and 76) have the same issue, a terrible gun. "ohhh but you can just pen their cupolas" yeah you usually can't with the 75 and the 76's tier is too high to take proper advantage of that
20:19 the sturmtiger is good it has decent front armour and you don’t even need to aim properly because it van hit the ground 20 feet beside it and kill him and his allies near him
The 76 Jumbo is the only tank I'm able to reliably get a nuke lmao
bro legit called the Panzer 3M, one of the most beloved vehicles, trash
The problem with most bad tanks is the wrong br rating. Most of them are too high and should be 0.5 or 1.0 br lower. Gaijin is just looking at stats instead of what the tank has as gun and armor.
@@x5x certainly for a lot of cases, but you can’t do anything about bad speed
pre nerf m11 was amazing, its sad that gaijin made the italian guns useless even though they were supposed to have around 80mm of penetration irl
@johnnytrigger300 I highly doubt the 37mm was that good
@thesnazzycomet I was thinking of the wrong gun, the 47mm could penetrate 115 mm of armor, while the 37mm could go through 65
I love the long barrel jumbo, I call it the Goshawk (because of its userskin). I thought that it was the perfect tank. Perfect armour, decent mobility, and not totally amazing but not totally awful firepower. I loved the fact that I no longer get one shotted by germans unlike the other shermans. Dealing with Tigers and Panthers no longer were a problem, spearheading the entire team was my gameplay with this, be aggressive but also calculated. Unfortunately when I get uptiered, it is true that King Tigers and IS-3s just churn my armour like hot butter, I usually just play as a supporting fire vehicle. I get close with bigger better armoured eammates and give supporting fire, overall for me this tank is fairly decent, its great in downtiers and it definitely has various play style depending on your teammates, the map and ofcourse the br you're fighting. Great video analysis by the way 🎉
