Nah, he's gonna upload too much and get burned out or something, then dissappear again. I'd like daily videos, but he needs to do 2 or 3 videos a week and stick to that
I'm working on a r2y2 video right now, what should i cover next need some epic war thunder ideas love you guys full homo, having a blast making the content i want too! YEEEHAWWW
This and the standard Pershing should be at 6.3, I'd also consider lowering the Tiger II(P) BR from 6.7 to 6.3 where it originally sat because of it's weak turret.
the IS2 1944 can be a really good brawler what people sleep on in this thing is that the left side of the front turret cheek has 2 100mm plates overlapping, so if you're ever jumped by someone after killing someone in close quarters, angle the turret 20 degrees to the right and drive straight at them (next to them ideally) to not give them the lower plate shot until you reload, 8 times out of 10 it actually works
Why is the M26 at 6.7 is my question, it’s literally just a side grade of a panther, better reverse and he filler but worse hull armor and a slower shell
Same for the T-44. Better hull armor, better reverse, and more filler, but less penetration, less top speed, longer reload, slower turret, and worse turret armor.
Man, ive done so much in my life in your absence. I feel like ive seen an old friend i havemt met in ages, good to have you back and sounding happy. (There was a guy who spent 2 or 3 hundred days asking for the everybody into, but i want the virtual riot in me head, do it for the hommies who remember your "long range yeets" song)
Genuinely the new vids have that "I'm having a good time" vibe that I had missed so much. I never realised that the vids before Sir Phlopsworth took a break felt a bit more "this is my job" until now, where I get the good ol' vibe again. Makes me want to play midtier without thinking of grinding.
Somehow I have the same experience with IS-2s. It just works for me. It is ironic, because Tiger 2s don't work for me, unless I get a good spot and people just keep coming at me.
I think it's mainly the curves and volumetric hell on the turret, Tiger II has way less opportunities for shots to be just eaten by a black hole. Before volumetric, IS-2s weren't nearly as good
@Creepus_Explodus The shape really helps, but I think it is more of the front turret placement that helps me compared to Tiger. When I go out of cover with Tiger, I really have to go all the way out because of that mid hull turret placement. I don't have to do that with IS-2. Also, the IS-2 still feels more mobile than Tiger or Jumbo Pershing to me, which helps in upBRed situations.
Tiger.2 front turret is so bad...almost every round can pen it and detonates the ammo storage,,its better to use it as a medium tank or a sniper since its gun is actually very accurate
Hey phly ive found out about you from a friend who plays warthunder on pc and for the longest time i was on console trying to learn as much as i could about this game by watching your videos, and recently i moved to pc warthunder and to find out you found a good head space to continue what you love makes me glad!!
I think the takeaway here is that the tiger two at 6.7 is an incredibly high bar to set for that battle rating. Hull front is nearly impervious to most rounds, turret is a weakness but can be frilly and have the gun mantlet make your shot just disappear… mobile, good gun at any range, good reload, stable platform… the negatives are honesty just how the ammo is stored
I have about 700 battles in the IS-2 1944 and premium. Its reload does not hinder it as much as it should. Its armor is shockingly trolly. And it has good survivability even when the armor is penetrated. Good Reverse gear and ok top speed for a heavy. The gun is a 12 out of 10 in my opinion. You can kill everything you fight and almost everything you fight will not be able to kill you with ease. I brawl with it on offense to force bad shots on my weakspots and completely take theblower plate shot out of the realm of possibility. I only go defensive on or near objectives if and when something peaks obliterate the guy and dont back off to reload. Ive had nukes in downtiers and uptiers. Its my favorite ground vehicle in the game. Thank you for making a video on it, even if i dont agree with your points made, thanks.
important to note that the obj 248 is at 6.3. has a faster reload rate, slightly worse penetration but still above 200mm of flat pen. its the t54 gun at 6.3.
So happy I thought about your channel again after like 3 years lol. After getting a new TH-cam account like a 1.5 years ago and being way more busy irl I sadly forgot some of the greats I enjoyed so much a couple years ago. This definitly was a channel I didn’t know i missed now I thought about it again but your channel is still great.
Phly I have been a sub since the old days update 1.41. I've seen you in warthunder and played with you before in an AIR RB match. Phly, you are big reason why I continue to play war thunder due to you content that grabs me back to play warthunder again. Welcome back bub, I hope your having fun while playing. I know I am again thanks to you!
THE IS-2 USED TO BE 5.7 JUST LIKE THE TIGER 1. Those were good times. The pen on the best round was 206 or 207mm. You look at a jumbo and you didn't care about the armor at all😂 You were bouncing alot back in the day too. That tank gave me the best *heavy tank* feeling. It was great fun because you also didn't have any light tanks flanking you exept the hellcat. Now it should be 5.7 again or 6.0 (with the 230mm round). I don't want to hear any crying. How can the Tiger go down 0.4 BR and the IS-2 went up 1.0
Ppl don't shoot the turret, because you learn in warthunder, that if you shoot the turret there is a 50-50 chance that your round will just go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ on a machine gun port or something nonsensical.. I have such ptsd from my 120mm+ rounds being eaten by a measly gun/vision port that I just always aim on flat armor
letting everyone know this is 4 videos in a row, please return all phlyyearly monthly weeekly jokes thank you
Fair enough! 😂
As long as we see that Vautour Missile video you promised us. I guess we could maybe let it go... xD
I'm just pumped you're uploading again man. Glad you're feelin better 💪
Please either the Seahawk or super marine scimitar phly, you’ve never done them
As long as you're not just here for the paycheck then disappear again I promise I won't make jokes.
I just realized. Phly is manufacturing his own tanker crew, he has enough for a tiger tank now. God help us.
Lol

u mean Phun?

Nah, he's gonna upload too much and get burned out or something, then dissappear again. I'd like daily videos, but he needs to do 2 or 3 videos a week and stick to that
another event featuring phly when
I mean, the reload is measured in business days not seconds. I guess that's why it's still 6.7
Imagine that 122mm with a faster loading speed, would never be at 6.7
@@hanchenyin9862I hate to be that guy but the su-122-54 has that gun with a faster reload at 6.7…
Glad that its not 24/7
@@euanisles9122yes but its got no turret
@@stephenallen4635 still its super good
Phly just became daily
Again
Phly got me through 4 years of suicidal depression. Good to have you back champion.

love you guys full homo, having a blast making the content i want too! YEEEHAWWW
Make an SPAA video and complain about CAS, those seem popular.
M44 Bonk
can u fly the KI-109 the one with the huge cannon and its 2.0
Attempt 3 of asking Phly to play the Leopard 2 series (Pick any from the German tech tree)
@@samadams2203 this is a great idea, how much complaining should i do?
We are so glad having you back Phly!!!
so refreshing that you make these videos about the good old Warthunder. this is what is game was all about. i lost track of anything beyond 9.0
This and the standard Pershing should be at 6.3, I'd also consider lowering the Tiger II(P) BR from 6.7 to 6.3 where it originally sat because of it's weak turret.
the IS2 1944 can be a really good brawler what people sleep on in this thing is that the left side of the front turret cheek has 2 100mm plates overlapping, so if you're ever jumped by someone after killing someone in close quarters, angle the turret 20 degrees to the right and drive straight at them (next to them ideally) to not give them the lower plate shot until you reload, 8 times out of 10 it actually works
The front upper hull around or on the drivers hatch is an easy pen and 80% of times will kill with one shot
Feels good having Phly back
Why is the M26 at 6.7 is my question, it’s literally just a side grade of a panther, better reverse and he filler but worse hull armor and a slower shell
Especially when you have so many superior Pershing varients at the same BR
Same for the T-44. Better hull armor, better reverse, and more filler, but less penetration, less top speed, longer reload, slower turret, and worse turret armor.
fun fact: the german 88 has the same reload speed as the american 90
@@zoro115-s6bt44 is great though
@@zoro115-s6b Ive played both and the T44 is still quite fun at 6.7
I miss your videos, the way you narrate everything that happens, I've been following you for many, many years, thank you brother. From Brazil

remember the old 122 firing sound? the one with the loud DING!!
I miss the old Jagdtiger gun sound too.
My favorite Phlyer is now a TANKER!
Love your videos man and I'm glad to see you back
Good to have you back mate.
Love the IS2! :D
It doesn’t really neeeeed to go down in BR. What it does need is a reload buff. All two piece ammunition tanks need reload buffs honestly…
Somehow I have the same experience with IS-2s. It just works for me. It is ironic, because Tiger 2s don't work for me, unless I get a good spot and people just keep coming at me.

@@Rosaslav i think what also helps is that the suspension of the IS-2 feels better, the Tiger-2 aim when you just stopped feels very weird to me.

It was introduced at 6.7 then got lowered to 6.3 in something around 2017 and is now back at 6.7

Man im glad he is back and at it again through it all
Dude your content coming back has already made my whole year . Thx and you Rock dude, keep doing you
Phly even now that I don't play much Warthunder I continually enjoy your content. Hearing you enjoy the game is much cherished!
So glad you're back brother. You are my favorite to watch. Gratz on Unit 3
I love it. Even at 6.7 ( I rember it being 6.3 and being a beast ) really fun and volumetric hell for enemies
the normal IS-2 was 5.7 at one point, and when you drove in reverse the hull weakspot wasn't even a thing, those times were crazy.
My good man the Tiger fears every gun at its BR
Germany mains when they find out what a 45 degree angle is.
i love hearing your gonna have a great time again its like music to my ears

Fly coming back right now during a difficult is what i needed.
Love seeing you back in my feed!
I'm glad you're back playing bro, have fun, cheers from Brazil.
goddamn dude I fell off my chair laughing in the intro, that's just not fair.
So happy you are back Phly!
Love the opening there, lol
I missed the last couple vids, Holy crap man congrats on your 3 kid. Really happy for you
*3rd
Hes so baaack! Hell yeah! Glad to see you having fun again❤
Phly, I just wanted to say thank you for making the video again. I missed having your video as a part of my day so much.
you have no clue how glad I am that you are back dude
So, the Tiger, Panther and this tank fear my M41A1 Walker Bulldog with 300mm pen at 6.3
"not a lot of depression but we'll make our own" Hey, no need to rub it in our face.
I’m so happy to hear your voice again man, been a rough month so thank you for making my weeks a little bit brighter!😊
The is2 1944 is at 6.7 because it’s hull front is invincible to panthers and tiger 1s
The is2 1944 like the tiger 2 p is fine at 6.7
Great to see you back Phly! Missed you!
Glad you're back man!

Love your content Phly.
Been watching you since the beginning! ❤
Glad you're back, Phly :)
Been watching your vids since I was a kid, glad to see you back!
I glad to see you back
Yoooooooo Phlee?? Very nice video, love the IS-2!
Well, your bad enemy luck continued through your break. Welcome back
Holy shit Phly! You have a third small one?! Congratulations PhlyDada!
I perform well in the IS-2 (1944) even at 7.7, but then again, I pretty much only play uptiered tanks, so it performs like how I'm used to.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend is back and he is not disappointing!
I've been watching your other friends for a while. But the goat is finally back.
Maybe you are not the star at the modern War Thunder heaven but for the modern stars you are a legend!
important to note that the obj 248 is at 6.3. has a faster reload rate, slightly worse penetration but still above 200mm of flat pen. its the t54 gun at 6.3.

And your third child!? Man that’s great hope all the kids are doing great!
Love having you back making vids again! And yeah, I'd say 6.3 should be like the max br this thing should be at.
Laughs in Jagdtiger
“On my suffer account” hits so hard. I just restarted my grind last month from a lvl94 ps4 account with US and Germany at 9.0💀😭
I'm so glad you are back..
