Some other rare/hidden vehicles: The IAR 316B, it used to be the rank 5 premium helicopter for France but was removed like 7-8 months after it was released and I don’t think ever brought back. It’s been replaced with the Tiger HAP ofc. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one. The various twitch drop vehicles and the event vehicles which weren’t given out as coupons. There was the special P-51A and M24 (TL) both for Thunder League stuff and unobtainable now. There’s also the Trophy Leopard 2a5, T-80U, and Challenger 2 (edit: and an Abrams as well) that were given out to the winners of the TH-cam cup I think it was. They are probably the rarest vehicles in WT.
The early prem. helis really did not worth their price, and most of them lacked any kind of flexibility + survivability, and did poorly in tank RB despite there weren't that many SAMs back than, so they all got replaced ASAP. And while the IAR 316B was the 2nd best of those relics (after the Czechoslovakian Mi-24D), it had one of the slowest AGMs, witch is still the curse of the EC-665 HAP too.
@@yogibearthebear6774 well that’s because the Allie’s may have captured vehicles, but barely any were used. Unlike the Allies, Germany didn’t have the industrial power to make a ton of tanks and used as many tanks captured as possible, despite the non interchangeable parts between tanks. The Allies saw using captured vehicles as a bad idea since replacement parts and training would be much more unnecessary and difficult since they had the industry to support have many more tanks. The Allies captured a lot of tanks but did not use them like Germany did

As others have already stated the rare gift Tu-2 is a very rarely seen vehicle which I believe belongs in the top 5. Speaking of Alpha/Beta gifts though, the Soviet P-39Q is so rare to the point that, after 12,000 matches, I've seen it a total of once, compared to a handful of times seeing the Tu-2.
@@vikingpowered868 Yeah, never understood the difference between it and the main-tree variants to warrant a 1.3 BR gap. Edit: I looked it up and it has different bombloads, but the best bombload for TNT amount is still 4x 500 Kilos (Tu-2S)
@@cervotocovosmiesky1400 Wow, I never knew the rare Tu-2 had an airbrake. That's a big surprise for me. Thanks for the info And... I just found another difference, the Tu-2 has a M-82 while the Tu-2S has the M-82FN, so the acceleration on the 2S is a bit better. No clue why that warrants the BR gap tho
Fun facts i've found out about the TB-3 from owning it for quite a while by now. 1. Its gunners and bombload are actually really good for its br. 2. It does not have flaps nor retractable gear. It doesn't even have a tailwheel or wheel brakes so it's an incredibly simple aircraft. 3. Due to its simplicity and therefore relatively low weight and long wings and short tail it turns very well. Well enough in fact to outturn just about anything aside from the most maneuverable of fighters. Bonus fact: Again due to large wings and low weight its able to take off at insanely low speeds even loaded (In the low 100s i think) and so in real life russian paratroopers would lay on the wings and slide off over the target.
The KV-2 (1940) is so angry you forgot him, that he will not only derp you with his 152mm howitzer, he will also shoot you with his coaxial machine gun, a feature his (slightly) older brother does not have ;)
Gaijin: removes Panther II, Maus, and E-100 because they only made one or so prototypes of the vehicle and it never saw combat Chi-Ri II: *sweats profusely*
Another rare vehicle which I am proud to own is the Me262 A-2a (Thanks to the gaijun chest of not another camo for something i don't own). Only 1 time did I see another one of these in air realistic when i was grinding out for the narwhal. It was my first jet.
I got the a2a when it first came out. Would you believe me if i said it was spammed to the point of full teams of them each game(except for 2 or 3 planes)?
7:28 I know I already brought this up on your Ersatz M10 video, but I still believe that this is a false statement. The 2017/2018 festive quest was before the marketplace existed, making the ersatz a non-coupon reward. I suppose that it could have been given as a tournament award, but I don’t see this as a possibility that it was in the marketplace. All vehicles that have ever been on the market (even tournament awards given as coupons) are still visible on the market, even if there are no coupons left. Example: E-100, Bong’s P-38J, T18E2, and more. You can still access their market history and view it like any other vehicle. This is not the case for the Ersatz, which is not and never was visible on the Gaijin market. I don’t mean to come off as rude or condescending, but I just haven’t seen any evidence to back your claim.
the rarest vehicle in war thunder is Lagg 3-4, it was given to developers and some of really close friends of gaijin, it's one of those vehicles that not many are aware off.
Dude...R3 T20 is not real you can search it and only found prototype of it some people say it is prototype and can be only found it secret document...then how did gaijin know about R3 T20 ammo ,engine , velocity can someone tell me is gaijin a Russian spy
Pr.1124 MLRS! One of the first ships you could get back than, as a pre-order pack. What makes this unique is; this is the only boat with the M-13 rockets (others have the M-8) witch can hull-break most unarmored small boats, and accuracy is good too within 1.5 km! (my brother has it...somehow) And maybe the Agusta A-129 leaving the Italian heli tree without a premium. (Guess it wasn't selling good enough, but they should just turn it into a GE premium instead)
I remember using the Pr.1124 MLRS. The choice was either that, or Kennedy's PT-109. I think most people ended up going for PT-109 (probably for its history and the belief that torpedo's were going to be the better weapon of choice). Having the M13's was nice, but they were fairly hard to aim (especially in the early days of naval), were slow, and had a lot of drop. The T-34 turret firing HE was nice though as well as the dual DShK mount.
I'm actually surprised that the I-301, TB-3M, Fw 189A-1, D.521 with other rare vehicles etc were not in the list. Imo the bubbletop canopy German P-47D Thunderbolt isn't considered rare coz people forgot it was there ig. It got removed when there was an appropriate replacement for it tho (in the form of a razorback canopy Thunderbolt) Also I haven't played War Thunder for quite a while so I am out of the loop whether if there were other ways to get the TB-3M or such etc.
I have all 4 of them . TB3 and D521 from warbonds I-301 out of a box and FW189 as an event reward. For me .. Boomerang MK2? or those OS2Us in the US tree
TB-3M and I-301 are both very valid. Maybe more so the TB-3M since it's so much harder to get but owning both i know they're both pretty useful for their respective BRs so they could be on the list
@@TheD2JBug OS2U is not that rare imo, it suffered the same fate as the Gladiator MkIIF(?) when it got removed from the main tech tree for some reason I don't really know. The boomerang Mk II was a purchasable premium until it got removed like recently? I'm not really sure either
I'm surprised the TB-3 hasn't made the list. I've been waiting for an opportunity to get for many years but it just never shows up (except that one time it was available for warbonds that I missed)
If you ever get the opportunity go for it. It's an aircraft worth having if nothing else for memes. It's funny how tight it turns but be prepared for people to try to teamkill you
@@theguylivinginyourwalls Its ol' reliable, i remeber before the BR changes i would melt B25s and enemy fights ace every game, it legit still to this day my biggest money maker
Managed to get my hands on the XP-38, and is a favourite of mine. Plus when I started I chose Britain(as I am British and live there) as my beginning nation, and to my surprise got the A13 3rd or whatever was for free.
I'd say the rarest vehicle to actually see in-game is the Ki-10 II C. Many rare vehicles either were removed or hidden but sometimes come back either in loot boxes and or Events. While the Ki-10 II C is almost never ever seen since it first came out. The Tandem Mai comes in 2nd.
i fly the Ki-10 II C quite alot especially when i just want to relax and out turn everything. except the I-15 those buggers are scary if they know what they are doing.
this is cool, i use to play warthunder way back religiously and recently got back into it, seeing how they moved the stuff around i didnt know the the higher german stuff is now rare and im glad before i left that i started doing research on the panther 2 so that let me finish it now when i came back, so including the maus( which when it first came out i got it within the month) and the 10.5 tiger lets me have 3 rare/exclusive tanks you wont see much kind of nice imo
While I am a long time player and have seen many of these vehicles even being introduced, the one i am fully kicking myself over is really the panther 2, coelian and tiger 105, i had the chance to grind them out before they were removed but i just wasnt good enough to not get frustrated and quit, now i will never be able to get them and add them to my german lines as much as i would want to. Gaijin said they would never have them up for events like the maus, but i hold hope, gaijin have said these kinds of things before about vehicles.
I have so many unobtainable vehicles that, at this point, they're pretty much all I play. Regular vehicles are kinda boring to me; I like the wacky and weird vehicles with lots of quirks and character.
Some of my rarest Vehicles are The 109-Z, Sdkfz 234/4, the T-V a Russia Panter, the RBT-5 a bt5 with two rocketsand the BM-8-24, the BM-13N "Katyusha".
@@alexnovak3319 what he said only 1 is not TT. T-V is a skin crate Russian Panther, RBT-5 BT tank with massive torpedoes I think they are called, pak puma has the PZ 4 75mm, 109Z is dual 109 sold for a few months I think, and BM-13N is the rocket truck that is in skin crate now only the BM-8-24 is a TT prem IIRC
I got the captured p47 bubble top and the xp38g. The xp has excellent energy retention. You can use it to choose your fights and when playing smart (which I don’t) it’s very very good and can be the biggest threat in the game
I would have added the event Soviet P-63A-10. I was lucky to pick up mine back when the event was active. Well worth it's weight in silver lion rewards.
P47 german is owned by most of old players because of the air spawn he had before get removed. Anyone playing since 2017 has it, same goes for panther 2, tiger 105 and Coelian. Anyone playing since 2018 had those before they got removed. They are not rare, you see them quite often on the battlefield. The Excelsior is far more rare than those because it was very old event and only sold 1 copy on the Marketplace make it more rare than the E-100 wich could have been get during 2 separate tournaments and from the Marketplace for crazy prices. You didn’t mention the TU-2 beta at 4.0 or the A26C event wich is the rare pc variant. Do better research please...
@@jollyrodgergaming3579 that's because there are 2 variants, you have the PS one the PC one, the original is rare. you can check yourself on the wiki thunder. DT is the one you can buy, the other one no.
I just realized that my lost gaijin account from day 1 of armored most be worth something crazy. I was a 100% collector back then and literally had pretty much everything that was obtainable. Too bad the email that account was linked to is nuked
Just a cool little fact you can indeed play these rare planes if you select the Dynamic campaign and play as Germany 1945. There is a chance that you could find the 109Z or the 262 bomber variant. Im not entirely sure if the 109Z is in 1945 so you would have to try out the other years. Another fun fact about the Dynamic campaign if you want to fly some other counties 1945 planes just select the year to 1945 and then backing out and selecting the country you want to try. For some reason WT doesn’t update the year so even though you don’t own any 1945 planes for that country you can still play with them. But of course this is only against bots but you can also have your friends play along too.
I was gonna mention a lot of the low tier vehicles that were removed long ago like some of the SB and Yer bombers. Along with Gladiator Mk IIF and the S.M.79 serie 4 or the S.M.79 bis/N. As far as I know, there is no longer any way to get these planes.
The best way I look and test drive hidden vehicles is I go to the chest you can open for camo’s and sometimes vehicle’s and I look threw all the camo’s till a see a rare one
7:35 the most disconnected i've seen someone talk about a tank in War Thunder EVER. Better mobility, better angle penetration performance, CAN OVERPRESSURE the entire crew if it pens, INCREDIBLE sniping gun(holds its pen for far longer because of inertia). 10x times better than the Tiger II H. You should want the tiger 10.5 and you should be sad you don't have it. its in my top 3 favorite vehicles of the entire game
Yeah, I have to agree with you. The 10.5cm tiger is superior. Better mobility, six crew instead of 5, rangefinder, and more explosive mass. Also, it’s less likely to be ammoracked in the turret since it has two-piece ammunition, the charges are stored in the hull of the tank. Its only disadvantage is a longer reload.
All the vehicles you mentioned id like to see them come back for the 10th anniversary all the vehicles will come back for a month or a few weeks I’d be super happy
The Zwilling is garbage tho, let's be honest. There is a good reason gajin removed it to create artificial rarity. It didn't sell. It's a plane that everbody anticipated only to be disappointed once it was released. You might be the first one I've ever heard who was happy to own a Z.
As an owner of it, it's a good- decent meme plane, if this plane had the higher velocity 30s it would be a bit better, still very fun to use but it would be better if they changed it to be an interceptor like it was intended to be so that it could actually do it's bomber hunting job since it's climb rate isn't better than others at it's BR Making it pretty much useless once your team kills the bombers.
Overall it’s not a bad plane, I don’t think it’s as good as people make it out to be. Sure, it’s faster and climbs slightly better than the 109G-6, but it’s a bit worse in most situations. One of the big advantages of flying a Bf 109 is its energy fighting capability. This advantage is taken away in the Bf 109 Z because of how bad it’s maneuverability is. This forces the pilot to resort to boom and zoom tactics. It does a good job at this, except that it’s high speed controllability isn’t very good. It’s a good aircraft, but it doesn’t fly like other 109’s.
I've been playing long enough that I am lucky to own all of these except for the Bf-109Z. There are definitely much rarer vehicles than any of these though enough to make a whole top 5 if not more for sure. #1 LaGG 3-4. You could only get this aircraft for being part of the development team or make significant contributions to the game. #2 KV-1B. This tank was first available buy purchasing MSI products in Russia and I believe was a gift for attending a tradeshow event. It has popped up a few more times for sale or to win but is still quite rare. #3 A-26C-45. This is another very rare plane to find in game. I believe it was part of a laptop bundle originally but then has come up as a reward vehicle although be it a long time ago. #4 Tu-2. Only way to receive this aircraft was to play the game during the closed beta. #5 P-39Q-15 (USSR) Gifted to Alpha player of the game. Honorable mentions LaGG-3-23, P-26A-34, D.521, Ki-21-hei, LVT (A)(4) ZIS-2, Me-262 A2a, Type-62.
@@sniper321fire Was not aware that they became available for sale again recently. At one point they were quite rare to see. And I agree to the KV-1B but you just don't see it in games that often. At least what I have experienced.
Might sub in the D.521 for the KV-1B then. It was once a common plane but I think the active players that received have died down enough now to where it can be considered rare.
I'm surprised warthunder is like "this vehicle is so rare, even youtubers that don't own it can't play it" because they have repeatedly in the past, given select few people a vehicle with the promise it was going to be special and never available again, only to make it available again.
Yeah, haha. I can't play the E-100, Herman the German Sherman, the prototype T-34, P-51A, AMX-50 Surblinde, and quite a few more. They really want to protect their rarity!
one plane i didnt know that existed was that one giant russian bomber thats like 2.0 or 1.7 i dont remember its gears are huge and the plane is really slow
The Ersatz M10 is a Panther Ausf G with no engine govenor not an Ausf D or Ausf A. It is also the best modelled Panther in game historical accuracy wise however the modelmaker did mess up the drive wheel.
@@Tankenstein it's not that bad, I'm used to Russian heavy tanks. The range finder really helps on big maps and the 300 extra HP help getting in a position quicker. I use the normal tiger 2 on small maps and the 10.5 on big maps. It's perfect for that.
You know what? You're right. I was a bit short sighted in my assessment of the 10.5. It is an excellent sniper where the 88mm Tiger IIs are better brawlers.
thanks alot for spreading the info, i started playing war thunder few weeks ago and its always good to find out what and how things are in this game, im just playing to get abrams but im not gonna lie, i would enjoy messing around with that giant mouse tank or however you spell it
@@scruffyy111 oh yeah, its kinda insane i know, i played armored warfare and its not as grindy, we will see how much im willing to pay, its a free game so that was good, i enjoy all of the historucal vehicles they have so i have to support them for that, i wish i could get a top tier tank for each country but im afraid it will be too much time and effort ,we will see, these days i have less time to grind so i will pay some money to get to m1a2, this game is crazy cause its got jets and choppers and ships too,i want to try it all
I wish they’d bring the Panther II back man even if for like a day or so I have like 2-3 custom camos for it but I can’t use them at all. The Panther II was literally the only tank I wanted but I wasn’t able to play much and then they announced they were removing it and I made it to the Panther below the Panther II right before they removed it.
When they announced they were removing the Coelian, Panther II, and Maus, I grinded the entire German tree up to the Panther II but burned out and never locked in the others. I've obviously been able to unlock the Maus since, but I miss the ridiculous paper AA. The Panther II is a perfectly average tank, but it's very cool.
@@sniper321fire yeah I know, it’s unfortunate. Personally I don’t really get the logic behind removing tanks that are already in the game considering it doesn’t make the game any more historically accurate cause those “fake tanks” are already in the game. But I hope one day they do I wouldn’t say it’s impossible but definitely unlikely.
@@nightly3225 I know how you feel. I quit for 2 years because of the IS-7 grind since it's my favorite historical tank. They made it too hard to realistically get and that bummed me out and made me not want to play War Thunder at all.
I have the XP-38G and the J6K, the latter probably being my rarest vehicle. They’re both pretty good too. The J6K is kinda insane though. Do you own it?
It appears I have 800 hours on PC, and it angers my soul to lose everything I worked so hard to earn. One that was nice was the Russian Panther that was only available from the original Thunder League promotional run. Now, I can only play on XSX since I no longer have a PC, and have to grind from square zero.
I dont play so much, so its hard to know what I have is rare to not, but I do have a Tu-2, XP-38G, P-47D and a LaGG-3-23 As well as a bunch of other stuff in my tech tree that I know isn't in my friends
Just because the Tiger 105 has "only" 14mm pen doesnt mean that its not worth the reload. Overmatch exists in this game Long 75mm (from Panther) - 192mm pen - Can penetrate Jumbo UFP reliably head on up to 1000m (Camera level on Jumbo gun) 152mm (from SU-152 and ISU-152) - 166mm pen (BR540B round) - Can penetrate Jumbo UFP reliably head on up to 3.1 KM (Camera level on Jumbo gun) (+ 1kg tnt) Conclusion - > Tiger 105 gun is far better than the regular tiger as it is both higher caliber and has 14mm penetration (while in my example, Panther's 75mm and ML-20S 152mm , it may seem that Panther has a better ammo, it in fact is the 152mm that has the better ammo, even though it has TWENTY SIX (26) mm less penetration... Answer: Caliber matters in these cases when 2 different caliber guns have similiar penetration. Therefore the 105 tiger is worth it , even with the reload penalty. People underestimate the ML-20S too much, its so easy to kill jumbos thinking i cant pen them or angled tiger 1's .... its too much fun
Glad I have the German Bolt and XP-38G. I couldn’t justify spending $60 USD for the German Sherman when they brought it back. Hopefully they’ll bring it back in the near future. I remember back to before they removed the Panther 2 and Tiger 2 105, I wasn’t able to grind fast enough to get them but I did get the Flakpanzer 341 unlocked. Later on I got the Maus when they brought it back. On the other hand, do you think that Gaijin might bring back the 109-Z pack? I’d like it if they did.
I got both the german-sherman and the J xD I bought into the CB of ground forces then stopped playing still recently. Use it in. 4.0 line up, have lots of fun in it hahahaha
When i was playing some air sb i got killed by a german p47... these "captured " planes and tanks are very stupid for sb specialy the ones that dont have any difference on the camo or something like that (the italy tech tree has the most annoying tank to fight against in sb thats the m24 bc hes fast then if he use any decal to cover the italy flag its impossible to know if its a enemy in case he flank your team and comes from your respawn )
I met a german sherman in a single game out of my whole career and was quite surprised. Good thing it was in arcade or i'd probably not have realised it. Learning more about it was interesting. On the other hand, facing an Erzatz M10 for the first time in arcade brought me confusion beyond words and had me and my pals destroyed because we had no clue it was a panther type.
I have all the tanks mentioned, aside from the E-100, they're all pretty nice tanks it's a shame that not everyone is able to use or view them.
Some other rare/hidden vehicles:

Dude...R3 T20 is not real you can search it and only found prototype of it some people say it is prototype and can be only found it secret document...then how did gaijin know about R3 T20 ammo ,engine , velocity can someone tell me is gaijin a Russian spy
@@nine-0991 what
Honestly the biggest advantage that the germam sherman has is that it doesnt face german guns
Surprised that the British d520 wasn't on this list or really any of the pre french tech tree french vehicles
I have the British D.521
Pr.1124 MLRS! One of the first ships you could get back than, as a pre-order pack. What makes this unique is; this is the only boat with the M-13 rockets (others have the M-8) witch can hull-break most unarmored small boats, and accuracy is good too within 1.5 km! (my brother has it...somehow)
And maybe the Agusta A-129 leaving the Italian heli tree without a premium. (Guess it wasn't selling good enough, but they should just turn it into a GE premium instead)
I remember using the Pr.1124 MLRS. The choice was either that, or Kennedy's PT-109. I think most people ended up going for PT-109 (probably for its history and the belief that torpedo's were going to be the better weapon of choice). Having the M13's was nice, but they were fairly hard to aim (especially in the early days of naval), were slow, and had a lot of drop. The T-34 turret firing HE was nice though as well as the dual DShK mount.
@@Mach-2-Fishbed I once killed a German DD with the 132mm rockets and that shit was hilarious haha
How To Test Drive Hidden and Rare Vehicles: th-cam.com/video/G6OI8XjCRrU/w-d-xo.html
I love my German Sherman so much. I've made many Sherman players mald using it.
I'm actually surprised that the I-301, TB-3M, Fw 189A-1, D.521 with other rare vehicles etc were not in the list. Imo the bubbletop canopy German P-47D Thunderbolt isn't considered rare coz people forgot it was there ig. It got removed when there was an appropriate replacement for it tho (in the form of a razorback canopy Thunderbolt)
Also I haven't played War Thunder for quite a while so I am out of the loop whether if there were other ways to get the TB-3M or such etc.
regarding the TB-3M nope there hasn't been a means of getting it in several years
I have all 4 of them . TB3 and D521 from warbonds I-301 out of a box and FW189 as an event reward. For me .. Boomerang MK2? or those OS2Us in the US tree
TB-3M and I-301 are both very valid. Maybe more so the TB-3M since it's so much harder to get but owning both i know they're both pretty useful for their respective BRs so they could be on the list
@@TheD2JBug OS2U is not that rare imo, it suffered the same fate as the Gladiator MkIIF(?) when it got removed from the main tech tree for some reason I don't really know. The boomerang Mk II was a purchasable premium until it got removed like recently? I'm not really sure either
The Panther II plays nicely, the reload is a bit long but i say the speed and gun counters the somewhat long reload
Fun fact the soviets had night vision during the german invasion it was mainly of bt-5 and bt-7
I'm surprised the TB-3 hasn't made the list. I've been waiting for an opportunity to get for many years but it just never shows up (except that one time it was available for warbonds that I missed)
If you ever get the opportunity go for it. It's an aircraft worth having if nothing else for memes. It's funny how tight it turns but be prepared for people to try to teamkill you
Well I would love to see a video on that German night vision you mentioned! Thanks for bringing it up!
I kinda feel like you can't call the Hilterbolt "rare" when its literally a meme because EVERYONE had it.
lol didn't realise my P47 D was rare now, its a great plane 10/10 would recommend especially with tracer rounds
Good ol' Jug.
@@theguylivinginyourwalls Its ol' reliable, i remeber before the BR changes i would melt B25s and enemy fights ace every game, it legit still to this day my biggest money maker
Managed to get my hands on the XP-38, and is a favourite of mine.
Plus when I started I chose Britain(as I am British and live there) as my beginning nation, and to my surprise got the A13 3rd or whatever was for free.
I'd say the rarest vehicle to actually see in-game is the Ki-10 II C. Many rare vehicles either were removed or hidden but sometimes come back either in loot boxes and or Events. While the Ki-10 II C is almost never ever seen since it first came out. The Tandem Mai comes in 2nd.
i fly the Ki-10 II C quite alot especially when i just want to relax and out turn everything. except the I-15 those buggers are scary if they know what they are doing.
I have the Tandem Mai laying around. I've just not had much reason to fly it but maybe i should xD
Man i wish i had played war thunder when the panther 2 was still around, the look of it is just so badass, and that silver skin is just perfection
Yeah its a fun tank i got all the wunderwaffe removed except coelian sadly
@JOE STEWART Coelian is the name of the flak panzer 341
Panther II is one of my favorite things to use just has an expensive repair cost
7:18 what are you talking about, this is just normal M10. It easy accessible through grind
this is cool, i use to play warthunder way back religiously and recently got back into it, seeing how they moved the stuff around i didnt know the the higher german stuff is now rare and im glad before i left that i started doing research on the panther 2 so that let me finish it now when i came back, so including the maus( which when it first came out i got it within the month) and the 10.5 tiger lets me have 3 rare/exclusive tanks you wont see much kind of nice imo
Here’s a rare one I’ve only seen it once the tank is the T-V
While I am a long time player and have seen many of these vehicles even being introduced, the one i am fully kicking myself over is really the panther 2, coelian and tiger 105, i had the chance to grind them out before they were removed but i just wasnt good enough to not get frustrated and quit, now i will never be able to get them and add them to my german lines as much as i would want to.
Gaijin said they would never have them up for events like the maus, but i hold hope, gaijin have said these kinds of things before about vehicles.
NC.900, the FW190A8 for France
I was about to say naw but that's rarer than the Hitlerbolt by a mile
I have so many unobtainable vehicles that, at this point, they're pretty much all I play. Regular vehicles are kinda boring to me; I like the wacky and weird vehicles with lots of quirks and character.
Some of my rarest Vehicles are The 109-Z, Sdkfz 234/4, the T-V a Russia Panter, the RBT-5 a bt5 with two rocketsand the BM-8-24, the BM-13N "Katyusha".
Only one is rare, the rest is in the tech
@@alexnovak3319 what he said only 1 is not TT. T-V is a skin crate Russian Panther, RBT-5 BT tank with massive torpedoes I think they are called, pak puma has the PZ 4 75mm, 109Z is dual 109 sold for a few months I think, and BM-13N is the rocket truck that is in skin crate now only the BM-8-24 is a TT prem IIRC
I got the captured p47 bubble top and the xp38g. The xp has excellent energy retention. You can use it to choose your fights and when playing smart (which I don’t) it’s very very good and can be the biggest threat in the game
The Bf 109 Z is most certainly a vehicle that you can Nazi in the regular tech tree ;)
hahaha underrated... dad jokes on point lmao
I would have added the event Soviet P-63A-10. I was lucky to pick up mine back when the event was active. Well worth it's weight in silver lion rewards.
glad to see someone else remembers this plane lol. I have it and love it
P47 german is owned by most of old players because of the air spawn he had before get removed. Anyone playing since 2017 has it, same goes for panther 2, tiger 105 and Coelian. Anyone playing since 2018 had those before they got removed. They are not rare, you see them quite often on the battlefield. The Excelsior is far more rare than those because it was very old event and only sold 1 copy on the Marketplace make it more rare than the E-100 wich could have been get during 2 separate tournaments and from the Marketplace for crazy prices. You didn’t mention the TU-2 beta at 4.0 or the A26C event wich is the rare pc variant. Do better research please...
The a26c isn't a PC exclusive I play PlayStation and I have one, it's exclusively sold to PlayStation
@@jollyrodgergaming3579 that's because there are 2 variants, you have the PS one the PC one, the original is rare. you can check yourself on the wiki thunder. DT is the one you can buy, the other one no.
Not even talking about the Tiger (Pawn), or the Katyusha..
I've been playing since 2013 and I own neither the maus nor the panther II
@@ant-onemusic444 well i'm playing since 2017, it was announced before get removed. Maus always come back once a year around november
The reason i love the tandem is that it reminds me of the brigand from crimson skies
I just realized that my lost gaijin account from day 1 of armored most be worth something crazy. I was a 100% collector back then and literally had pretty much everything that was obtainable. Too bad the email that account was linked to is nuked
I got the Pakwagen Sd.Kfz.234/4. Can't believe how saught after that vehicle is.
Just a cool little fact you can indeed play these rare planes if you select the Dynamic campaign and play as Germany 1945. There is a chance that you could find the 109Z or the 262 bomber variant. Im not entirely sure if the 109Z is in 1945 so you would have to try out the other years.
Another fun fact about the Dynamic campaign if you want to fly some other counties 1945 planes just select the year to 1945 and then backing out and selecting the country you want to try. For some reason WT doesn’t update the year so even though you don’t own any 1945 planes for that country you can still play with them. But of course this is only against bots but you can also have your friends play along too.
I was gonna mention a lot of the low tier vehicles that were removed long ago like some of the SB and Yer bombers. Along with Gladiator Mk IIF and the S.M.79 serie 4 or the S.M.79 bis/N. As far as I know, there is no longer any way to get these planes.
those got removed?
The best way I look and test drive hidden vehicles is I go to the chest you can open for camo’s and sometimes vehicle’s and I look threw all the camo’s till a see a rare one
7:35 the most disconnected i've seen someone talk about a tank in War Thunder EVER. Better mobility, better angle penetration performance, CAN OVERPRESSURE the entire crew if it pens, INCREDIBLE sniping gun(holds its pen for far longer because of inertia). 10x times better than the Tiger II H. You should want the tiger 10.5 and you should be sad you don't have it. its in my top 3 favorite vehicles of the entire game
Where?
Yeah, I have to agree with you. The 10.5cm tiger is superior. Better mobility, six crew instead of 5, rangefinder, and more explosive mass. Also, it’s less likely to be ammoracked in the turret since it has two-piece ammunition, the charges are stored in the hull of the tank. Its only disadvantage is a longer reload.
The I-301 is my favorite but it gets no love
ah the p47d such good memories
The Hitlerbolt spam ...
*the test drive button* 😐
There's also the French NC900, a.k.a. the French fw 190
Great vid - I have the 109z. It's good but the limited ammo is a challenge
I have a TU-2, 4.0. Plane that was given to a beta testers of Airplanes.
I love my TU-2. Grinded a lot of the Soviet tree with it in 2013
I did beta and don’t have that one, but I’m not sure anymore if I started a new account at release.
I love my Tiger 2 105mm, extremely good sniping tank with its rangefinder.
All the vehicles you mentioned id like to see them come back for the 10th anniversary all the vehicles will come back for a month or a few weeks I’d be super happy
The Zwilling is garbage tho, let's be honest. There is a good reason gajin removed it to create artificial rarity. It didn't sell. It's a plane that everbody anticipated only to be disappointed once it was released. You might be the first one I've ever heard who was happy to own a Z.
I had a 5 kill match in the first match that I used the Zwilling in a month.
As an owner of it, it's a good- decent meme plane, if this plane had the higher velocity 30s it would be a bit better, still very fun to use but it would be better if they changed it to be an interceptor like it was intended to be so that it could actually do it's bomber hunting job since it's climb rate isn't better than others at it's BR Making it pretty much useless once your team kills the bombers.
Overall it’s not a bad plane, I don’t think it’s as good as people make it out to be. Sure, it’s faster and climbs slightly better than the 109G-6, but it’s a bit worse in most situations. One of the big advantages of flying a Bf 109 is its energy fighting capability. This advantage is taken away in the Bf 109 Z because of how bad it’s maneuverability is. This forces the pilot to resort to boom and zoom tactics. It does a good job at this, except that it’s high speed controllability isn’t very good. It’s a good aircraft, but it doesn’t fly like other 109’s.
I've been playing long enough that I am lucky to own all of these except for the Bf-109Z. There are definitely much rarer vehicles than any of these though enough to make a whole top 5 if not more for sure.
#1 LaGG 3-4. You could only get this aircraft for being part of the development team or make significant contributions to the game.
#2 KV-1B. This tank was first available buy purchasing MSI products in Russia and I believe was a gift for attending a tradeshow event. It has popped up a few more times for sale or to win but is still quite rare.
#3 A-26C-45. This is another very rare plane to find in game. I believe it was part of a laptop bundle originally but then has come up as a reward vehicle although be it a long time ago.
#4 Tu-2. Only way to receive this aircraft was to play the game during the closed beta.
#5 P-39Q-15 (USSR) Gifted to Alpha player of the game.
Honorable mentions LaGG-3-23, P-26A-34, D.521, Ki-21-hei, LVT (A)(4) ZIS-2, Me-262 A2a, Type-62.
The KV-1B is available in the skin crates so not that rare really
And the Ki-21 is cheap IIRC since WB crate not long ago as well and the sturmvogel 262 is skin crate as well if that's the 262 you meant
@@sniper321fire Was not aware that they became available for sale again recently. At one point they were quite rare to see. And I agree to the KV-1B but you just don't see it in games that often. At least what I have experienced.
Might sub in the D.521 for the KV-1B then. It was once a common plane but I think the active players that received have died down enough now to where it can be considered rare.
@@thunderhead6133 personally I have not seen the D.521 I don't think but the KV-1B I have seen a lot
Im suprised to not see things like the BI or the IS-7 since "rare" isnt defined just by how often or hidden they are but by how many owns em
I have most of these vehicles and still forget I even have them
oh dang, i have the germany P-47D and didnt even know that they removed it from the shop. the more you know ^^
What about the N.C.900?
I'm surprised warthunder is like "this vehicle is so rare, even youtubers that don't own it can't play it" because they have repeatedly in the past, given select few people a vehicle with the promise it was going to be special and never available again, only to make it available again.
Yeah, haha. I can't play the E-100, Herman the German Sherman, the prototype T-34, P-51A, AMX-50 Surblinde, and quite a few more. They really want to protect their rarity!
Dam, I got the XP-38G, P-47D, Ersatz M10 and BF-109Z.
Ersatz M10 and BF-109Z are so far my FAVORITE to use in Ground RB
7:30 so the panther m10 will possibly come back on the market? ive been wanting it so long
one plane i didnt know that existed was that one giant russian bomber thats like 2.0 or 1.7 i dont remember
its gears are huge and the plane is really slow
TB-3. There's a lot of them out there just a meme plane like the PO-2 though so you don't really see it.
The Ersatz M10 is a Panther Ausf G with no engine govenor not an Ausf D or Ausf A. It is also the best modelled Panther in game historical accuracy wise however the modelmaker did mess up the drive wheel.
The 10.5 CM Tiger 2 has a rangefinder, 300 more horsepower and can oneshot everything. It´s not worse than the normal Tiger 2
All points that I brought up. I just think that the 2x longer reload is a big negative compared to the standard Tiger II.
@@Tankenstein it's not that bad, I'm used to Russian heavy tanks.
The range finder really helps on big maps and the 300 extra HP help getting in a position quicker. I use the normal tiger 2 on small maps and the 10.5 on big maps. It's perfect for that.
You know what? You're right. I was a bit short sighted in my assessment of the 10.5. It is an excellent sniper where the 88mm Tiger IIs are better brawlers.
thanks alot for spreading the info, i started playing war thunder few weeks ago and its always good to find out what and how things are in this game, im just playing to get abrams but im not gonna lie, i would enjoy messing around with that giant mouse tank or however you spell it
You went down the wrong road...
@@scruffyy111 whats wrong with abrams?
@@votpavel look, unless you spend money it will takes years, but im not stopping you don't give up!
@@scruffyy111 oh yeah, its kinda insane i know, i played armored warfare and its not as grindy, we will see how much im willing to pay, its a free game so that was good, i enjoy all of the historucal vehicles they have so i have to support them for that, i wish i could get a top tier tank for each country but im afraid it will be too much time and effort ,we will see, these days i have less time to grind so i will pay some money to get to m1a2, this game is crazy cause its got jets and choppers and ships too,i want to try it all
Oh nice i didint even know the XP-38G was rare as its my main SL grinder and i have a 2.5 kd in it, amazing air superiority fighter
I wish they’d bring the Panther II back man even if for like a day or so I have like 2-3 custom camos for it but I can’t use them at all. The Panther II was literally the only tank I wanted but I wasn’t able to play much and then they announced they were removing it and I made it to the Panther below the Panther II right before they removed it.
When they announced they were removing the Coelian, Panther II, and Maus, I grinded the entire German tree up to the Panther II but burned out and never locked in the others. I've obviously been able to unlock the Maus since, but I miss the ridiculous paper AA.
The Panther II is a perfectly average tank, but it's very cool.
I doubt it will be back since it's a fake tank same with the KT 105
@@sniper321fire yeah I know, it’s unfortunate. Personally I don’t really get the logic behind removing tanks that are already in the game considering it doesn’t make the game any more historically accurate cause those “fake tanks” are already in the game. But I hope one day they do I wouldn’t say it’s impossible but definitely unlikely.
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator I can research the Maus but tbh I don’t really like the Maus the Panthers are my favorite tanks.
@@nightly3225 I know how you feel. I quit for 2 years because of the IS-7 grind since it's my favorite historical tank. They made it too hard to realistically get and that bummed me out and made me not want to play War Thunder at all.
I have the XP-38G and the J6K, the latter probably being my rarest vehicle. They’re both pretty good too. The J6K is kinda insane though. Do you own it?
ayy I got the p-47d german, got it through warbonds last year. makes me happy :)
I think the rarest vehicles in the game is any ship.
@JOE STEWART 1. It was a joke. 2. Cause rarely any plays ships in war thunder
@@slythrombobules6585 I dunno dawg, naval is something I play pretty regularly.
@@barnstormer546 you do, and good for you, but whats the percentage of war thunder players ever even touched naval
Pretty cool to see the panther 2 the same day I saw one in game for the first time
It appears I have 800 hours on PC, and it angers my soul to lose everything I worked so hard to earn. One that was nice was the Russian Panther that was only available from the original Thunder League promotional run. Now, I can only play on XSX since I no longer have a PC, and have to grind from square zero.
The difference of T-34 Prototype used to be its better engine, before all T-34s got their engines buffed.
I dont play so much, so its hard to know what I have is rare to not, but I do have a Tu-2, XP-38G, P-47D and a LaGG-3-23
As well as a bunch of other stuff in my tech tree that I know isn't in my friends
I recently bought the bf109z maybe a month ago as it went on sale
Just because the Tiger 105 has "only" 14mm pen doesnt mean that its not worth the reload.
Overmatch exists in this game
Long 75mm (from Panther) - 192mm pen - Can penetrate Jumbo UFP reliably head on up to 1000m (Camera level on Jumbo gun)
152mm (from SU-152 and ISU-152) - 166mm pen (BR540B round) - Can penetrate Jumbo UFP reliably head on up to 3.1 KM (Camera level on Jumbo gun) (+ 1kg tnt)
Conclusion - > Tiger 105 gun is far better than the regular tiger as it is both higher caliber and has 14mm penetration (while in my example, Panther's 75mm and ML-20S 152mm , it may seem that Panther has a better ammo, it in fact is the 152mm that has the better ammo, even though it has TWENTY SIX (26) mm less penetration...
Answer: Caliber matters in these cases when 2 different caliber guns have similiar penetration. Therefore the 105 tiger is worth it , even with the reload penalty.
People underestimate the ML-20S too much, its so easy to kill jumbos thinking i cant pen them or angled tiger 1's .... its too much fun
imagine not owning the German Sherman smh my head
Another great vid :)
Glad I have the German Bolt and XP-38G. I couldn’t justify spending $60 USD for the German Sherman when they brought it back. Hopefully they’ll bring it back in the near future. I remember back to before they removed the Panther 2 and Tiger 2 105, I wasn’t able to grind fast enough to get them but I did get the Flakpanzer 341 unlocked. Later on I got the Maus when they brought it back. On the other hand, do you think that Gaijin might bring back the 109-Z pack? I’d like it if they did.
The only one I almost missed was the Maus I just started researching it a week before they removed it.
I can't see the Black Friday pack when purchased but only M18 thats on USA tech tree unlocked?
The ersatz is based on a early panther G instead of being a hybrid of the A and D
I didn't know the xp 38 g was removed it has just been always in my tech tree
I got both the german-sherman and the J xD
I bought into the CB of ground forces then stopped playing still recently.
Use it in. 4.0 line up, have lots of fun in it hahahaha
I have the XP-38G I genuinely can’t remember how I got it, I’ve just always had it for about as long as I’ve been playing the game
I have Herman The Sherman. I also have the XP-38 and the P-47D, Panther 2 too
Wait they removed the BF109Z? Damn that's a shame, I kinda wanted to get it when they first added it to the game
The rarest I own are the TU-2 and the german sherman
When i was playing some air sb i got killed by a german p47... these "captured " planes and tanks are very stupid for sb specialy the ones that dont have any difference on the camo or something like that (the italy tech tree has the most annoying tank to fight against in sb thats the m24 bc hes fast then if he use any decal to cover the italy flag its impossible to know if its a enemy in case he flank your team and comes from your respawn )
I have the XP-38G, even at 4.0 + it can do great, I've had multiple games with tons of kills no problems using it as a filler at 4.0 :o
I just have german p47 maus panther and tiger damn old good days 🥺
You fogot about the LaGG-3-4 which was only given to Gaijin workers.
Can you do a history video on the russian NVD on the BT-7s and T-34s that gaijin for some reason wont add despite there being physical images
They should make 109 Z obtainable just like maus
@JOE STEWART k?
War Thunder: *Does not have M10/Panther*
World of tanks: *Has M10/Panther*
I have the Panther 2, the German P-47, BF-109 Z and the XP-38 G
I met a german sherman in a single game out of my whole career and was quite surprised. Good thing it was in arcade or i'd probably not have realised it. Learning more about it was interesting.
On the other hand, facing an Erzatz M10 for the first time in arcade brought me confusion beyond words and had me and my pals destroyed because we had no clue it was a panther type.
I love the panther II, until I see its repair cost.
the Yak-3T probably the rarest vehicle in war thuner . I play 5 years and only encounter it 1 time
