i heard you hate british vehicles, vehicles that do no damage and vehicles that are basically CAS magnets, so i think you should play the ratel 90; a gigantic british light tank with no armor, that only gets 90mm HEAT with a 7 second aced reload and that somehow always gets strafed by planes before it's even allowed to leave spawn (day 90)
Somehow gets strafed. Man if i'm in a plane and i even glimpse a bit of a ratel that is target N°1 and is so large and always sand-colored you see it from space
The Ratel's HEATFS is decent if you know the target's ammo or crew layout (shaped charges have the highest chance to explode ammo in the game iirc). My only problems with the Ratel is that its acceleration is extremely poor off-road and that its gun lacks depression (Also rotates pretty slowly iirc.) I only find success with it if I use it as a first spawn on more open maps, you have to be patient and know when to stop, get into a position where you can do A LOT of scouting and be able to safely reposition between shots.
@@therealwildboar1007 Look at the AMX-13 SS.11 premium in the French tech tree. And then look at the Type-60ATM in the JP tech tree (which is somehow the same BR) That should explain just about everything for you.

For manufacturing purposes, it would be significantly easier to produce more Panther turret mantlets. As a strategic decision, it was considered perfectly fine, because many Allied anti-tank guns (which were basically the same gun that Allied tanks used) on the Western Front struggled very much to penetrate the actual thickness of the turret plate. Unfortunately in WT, a Panther F doesn't fight a horde of 75 Shermans with a few 76s, it fights: Pershings, ARL-44s, IS-2s, Challengers, and T-34-85s. I think it's ugly.
I think War Thunder should add infantry into the game. Not as playable entities, but as "equipment" that gets dropped off to capture objectives. That would allow for a slew of old APCs to be added, new functionality for the IFVs, new purpose for the bladed tanks, and new purpose for ARTY units. For example, an APC would drive to the objective and unload its infantry squad. That squad could only be dislodged by: a better/larger infantry unit being dropped off by the enemy, destruction of the objective "bunker" by multiple rounds of artillery fired indirectly, multiple rounds of large-caliber direct fire guns, aircraft bombs, flame-thrower equipped units, etc. Dozer tanks could also make fighting positions for infantry that would serve as fighting positions that would afford infantry the same benefits of the objective bunker. Just a thought; I want to see those old 1950s APCs trundling across the battlefields.
@@sharkface2.084 Enlisted is an FPS with vehicles, and not at all what I'm suggesting. Based on what Gaijin has been able to do in various April Fools iterations, I don't think this is beyond their ability or the capability of the engine. But I take your meaning.
YOu should go try Armored Warfare :D It is a bit old and sometimes hard to find matches but they have very limited infantry, but similar to this. A sniper lady that kills infantry and destroys optics on vehicles. Mortar man who does short range indirect that kills infantry and hurts vehicles (less armored takes more damage) and finally the small groupd of (4 iirc) Engineers with rocket launchers that go for vehicles. It's like world of tanks though, HP bars and invisible tanks if out of view range etc
Sploinkterting, it is of my highest suggestion that you eventually manifest another TH-cam video on the subject of the MARS 15. My existing reasons for why: •Light tank •French •Not talked about a lot Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Sir Sponktun
Not taking APCR, then meeting Jumbo which, at 400-500m may just be THE target that's actually well suited to be shot with APCR, since you can pen the mantlet with it and APHE fails to do so. But you had the side shot, so it did not matter anyway.
Day 104 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.
My family has kidney/liver issues (Not sure which one off the top of my head) and I was already interested in soda stream since i started a diet so i convinced my family to get a sodastream since youve also recommended it, thanks spookston
I quite literally just got the Panther F after a lengthy grind, so this video is perfect. It’s definitely the best looking of the Panthers, and I’m still learning how to make good use of it lol
With Warthunder getting less realistic by the day and focusing more on balance, we need the filler between 6.7 and 7.7 in the german tech tree back... Bring back the removed tanks!
Attempt 55 Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.
Can you do a video with the IT1? its a missle carrier on a t62 chassis, it has a crushed turret and the atgm is on top, so you can shoot it over rocks and cover without exposing much, and it has decent-ish mobility
Deltas are usually part of the river as its the point before it enters the body it flows into the only time it might not be part of a river is when its an estuary but even then its still part of the river
Try playing the french M4A4 SA50. It's basically a Firefly but well made (better gun, with -10 degree gun depression). It also has a very strong lineup.
Question for the rest of you cause I'm curious. When firing at long range, do you actively change the range on your gun or do you just look up till the notch matches? Cause the only time I really change the gun off of 0m is when I'm firing via commander sight.
So what's the best German tech tree Panther then? I'm new to the game only been playing for about a month. Why the hell is it so brutal playing Tiger 1 it seems like I'm alway getting up tiered?
Drivers rage in War Thunder so they don't rage in real life Seeing the delay between a hit and a kill reminds me of that scene in a movie where that Panther is hit at the top of a turret, and the Panther commander has a "oh crap" look on his face before the tank explodes. Don't remember what movie is from Who is M36's maker anyways? the wiki says the US ordnance department designed it, but there has to be a person behind the design, right?
For distance I do what I learned in the Army. When enemy tank has been scouted I just count the squares and calculate distance and shoot. I hardly use the Rangefinder
the US T-34 stupid hull machinegun can bounce the long 88 as well, found that the silly way while grinding the Jagpanther, also found out that noobs in the T34 can appearently non-pen it frontally and require 3 dudes to kill a fully crippled Jagpanther....

1:30 I beg to differ, I think the cannons with muzzle breaks look cooler.
I don't like muzzle breaks the muzzle less guns look so clean. Also best panther in game is panther 2 and it has a muzzle less barrel
Yeah but it means you get your barrel shot out when more often.
Increase turrent thinkness only to flatten the turrent. Like building a bridge over a river just to swim across
It reloads faster and at range with pen drop-off it's actually good.

Brother, the word is turret
It's a smaller target at range, coupled with an offset gun sight, it'd be far harder to hit reliably than with the barrel camera in RB
