I think you are underestimating or misunderstanding many of these tanks. The KV-2, SU-122, SU-152, and ISU-152 are fabulous (especially the tank destroyers - which are some of the best in the game). They have HE rounds that demolish any tank you shoot at. The reload is really not much of an issue if you play second line like you are supposed to. The PT-76B is also great once you get the HEAT-FS. The armor is bad, yes, but when you are sneaky and make use of your stabilizer, you rule. The ASU-85 isn't trash, you just need to be careful. The early T-34s are not bad at all, especially the 1942 model. The T-26 family can actually be quite fun, especially the T-26E. The Rank II SPAA vehicles can be incredible against planes, especially the BTR-152A. Lastly, the T-10 was greatly undersold. It's really a good tank, both the A and the M.
you dont even need to load HE , since it can be unreliable and requires you to aim on tank roofs or sides of the tank. If you just loaded the APHEBC, you can go through Jumbo UFP up to 3km, and still have sufficent high explosive power ( 1kg TNT filler in the round), your shots wont be stopped by trees and you can shoot anywhere on any tank and you will penetrate and kill it. no need to aim for a weakspot on the jumbo with the HE rounds (mantlet)
I would disagree with your assessment of the SU-122. That thing has T-34 armor at BR 2.3. That thing is bouncy as hell, even more so than the KV tanks later on. The gun is also very good. The 122mm HE round is able to overpressure most targets with the HEAT round having very high penetration should the need arise.
I love low-tier armored vehicles with huge guns, like StuH 42G, Sherman with a 105 mm gun and this SU-122, the main thing is not to expose the sweet sides
I was using panzer 38t this guy shots at me misses he keeps missing so I had to slowly pound at his barrel and then get righ of his tracks then hpget him from the side
I think Russia has the most fun tank lineup in the entire game. It's at 4.3 where you have a great heavy, good TD options, a great scout, solid CAS options and can pair those with the entire gaggle of T-34/76 models. My favourite flavour is thus; T-34E STZ, T-34 mod 1941, T-34 mod 1942, KV-1 ZiS 5, SU-85 (can take 152 depending on how you like your TD's), ASU-57 and ZSU-37. I use the premium Thunderbolt for CAS (which is godly) and the Yak-3 for air superiority if needed. This lineup absolutely claps in every sense of the word and doesn't really have a weak link at all. The star vehicle for me is the KV-1 ZiS 5. You can be a complete and utter bastard in this thing. Once spaded it is very mobile for what it is, while being very tough to penetrate for the enemy. Even guns that can go through struggle if there's a slight bit of angle about it. Top fun if you ask me.
Russia has a lot of tanks to fill all BR but theyre northing special. The only tanks that are woth are t3485 t34100 t55am t62am shturm Khrizantema t80bvm and 2s38 as AA, Cas P47d and SU25 the rest are... Always a step below everything else since you only get uptiered constantly. and except p47d and su25 theres nothings cas worthy except KA50/52.
Upgrade your crew. I have something like a 35 second reload which isn’t bad for what it shoots. Just gotta make shots count and aim for the heavies that the t34s and kv1s struggle with
The su 122 is basically a sherman 105 without a turret it's very powerful. Also the pt76 is very good, you have a stabilizer so you always fire first and heatfs pens everything and does decent damage
Why bash the stabilized Heatfs boat known as pt76 when It has good qualities such as: + fast reload 6s + 2 plane stabilizer + decent speed 44kmh + 200mm pen Heatfs In tier 3 Sure it has the same survivability of a milk Truck but that doesnt stop you from making panthers cry.
actually Kirov was killed by a Trotsky supporter, because Kirov kicked him from the party or some shit, if Stalin did have Kirov killed he wouldnt had attended his funeral,or referred Kirov as his best friend, or the For Kirov or something poster
I usually have massive success with the su-57, that little juicebox kills all, respect the pouch. Also on the t-64a, fun fact: it has better cheek armor than the m1a2 abrams in game, it has pretty consistent ~850mm protection against kinetics.
Uh are u tripping the abrams has 1300mm effective I checked the armor t64 a only has 900 to 950 so uh myth busted there also you can angle abrams turret to negate even atgms especially bmp2m and the sides are also very good because the turret
@@lilzenongene well I looked at it it’s about 3000+ on the little parts of the turret t64b has a weak turret compared to abrams plus you have to look at who can angle their turret angling is more better than sloped because it’ll make a difference in battle I have tanked over 50 shells in one game with abrams also to mention didn’t die I didn’t even hull down because when I angle abrams the turret becomes immune and the hull well yeah extra fuel tank protects me from literally everything
@@lilzenongene it could just be m1a1 aim because it has composite screening in that turret of its but yeah you have to look at angle in turret not slopeness
Minor incorrect fact, in tier one, the BT's did NOT have a smooth ride, it was very much the opposite. The reason the Soviets bought the model was because it was very fast.
don't know how it actually performs in game since I haven't unlocked it yet, but the t64a seems to actually have an impressively strong turret, being impenetrable to almost anything at its br
Ok you can call the Stalin series of tanks either JS or IS is fine. It depends on you pronounce Stalin's name. If pronounce it like this "Joseph Stalin" then its JS, however if your pronounce it like this "Iosif Stalin" which is closer to the Russian pronunciation its IS. Neither IS or JS are wrong and can be called either or depending on how you pronounce Stalin's name.
Su-100 is not "slightly upgraded Su-85M" but Su-85M were made because soviets didn't have enough 100mm guns by that moment so they put 85mm gun in Su-100 hull
I suck at war thunder, and I was gonna grind the American tech tree but I got so mad after getting deleted so many times in Sherman’s so I decided to grind the Soviet tech tree I will definitely use this so I won’t get deleted
Why have you omitted the KV-122 in rank 4? I have bought a good while ago because it was cheap. At that time I did not like the heavy tanks, and it has a long reload and its armor is not great, but since then I became a better player and I started to like it much. At 5.3 it sits at a pretty low BR and it usually one shots Tigers, Panthers regardless where you hit them....
Ngl, I say the 96 a P is a little better. It has better horizontal and vertical speeds, and armor that seems stupidly trolly some times. And the slightly better engine, which it's like 20 hp so isn't crazy. Better round for no reason. You lose the citv but I always forget to use it anyways ngl
Problem is that China has a pretty lack luster 9.7 line up. You could say that German 10.0 with the new PzBtl is now the most dominant, but 9.7/10.0 Russia is still pretty strong. You should make some WT vids if you want to grow your channel
@@SAKOSNIPER hm, I do agree with that with China. I just mean more one to one^^ I recently caved in for the 96P and I just honestly feel dirty using it. It's vertical speed just feels really nice to me compared to the turms
The t64bv with its era nothing it faces can reliably penetrate it especially if you force a shot, even in a full uptier it only faces the extra 4-5 10.3 tanks that exist resulting in unnoticeable change in performance. It eats top rounds consistently and can survive multiple atgm hits with its era. But the major thing is that it faces 8.3 with the 3bm42 round, which melts through anything, uptiered or not.
T-64A can easily be penetrated by 105MM DM23 which is quite common at the BR. The T-64B having bad armour though? That bastard bounces 105Mm DM33 easily with the ERA package.
Just using 7.3 bmp, obj 906 and zsu-57 to grind the tech line, skip all the early cold war t-54. Then buy a BMD-4, with BMP-3 to finish all the rest. Sovet early cold war is totally SXXT. No stabilizer, no RF, no smoke, no NVD and of cause no thermal.
Wheres the t-60, t-70 and t-80 light tanks? The t-80s are infamous with their 3s reload time, and being a 1943 tank it can pen basically everyone at its 2.0 br.
It’s like the other kv-1’s except it has a slightly better gun, a little more armour BUT they can face tiger 1’s and panthers that can easily one shot you while you can barely pen them with apcr. It was alright when the t-34-57 was 4.3 and you could make a decent line up but you’re better off making a 3.7 or 5.0 lineup now.
I've been loving your deep review of the entire Tech Tree in War of Thunder is very funny and of course Very informative keep up the good work I hope you do well in the future because these videos are very good
Hey Sako, let the game be the game, don't put politics in this video game. The way you add pictures and words that curse the Russians, It's very cowardly and dirty. If you hate Russia so much, quit this game, and stop clinging to a Russian game to make money making videos, It's humiliating... Plus, I'm not Russian, and I don't support it either this war. But the way you are making me feel disgusted, pitiful of you... Unsubscribed and hope I won't encounter this kind of trash again!
Idk what to do, I’m using t34 (1942), kv1 (the 4.3 one), kv2, yag 10, and pe-8, what should I do? I get one shot every time even angling and I can’t pen anything even in down tiers.
Have you seen the is3 the front armor you cant penetrate and the turret is a unreliable to hit it so you can’t penetrate the front even with a American 120mm t34 round and a lot of the times you bounce side shots
Actually, I would battle you for a lot of things youve said. For instance, SU122 is great as it is almost inpenetrable at its rank, Soviet AA trucks are very good at their job. In fact, I see them as the best in the game. There was at least 5 thing I disagree with and im sure im not the only one while only being at the SMK
Probably going to buy the IS 6 and sell my 2AV to buy the T10A on the market. I play arcade. You think its a good idea? Both guns are shit, but as long as I can pen panthers from the front it doesnt bother me.
im currently stuck in rank 4 with no silver lions and every match i play i just get rekt by germans , can anyone give me some tips to improve my gameplay and get silver lions?
I suggest to play as a light tank rather than play as a medium or a heavy. It’s the best to scout for enemies rather then going to destroy tanks. If the amount of SL isn’t enough for you then you can damage their crews or tracks to get an kill assist from your teammate after then you’ll be rewarded with a SL. You’ll need a speedy type of light tank that you can retreat in case if you get shot at. And, never try to finish an enemy tank, you can always get an Kill assist from your teammates.
@@SAKOSNIPER is it possible for U to make one? I'd really appreciate, probably skip the first 4 tiers though but maybe type 62 exemption cause it's decently good
Honestly I like the pt-76 I commonly get 4-7 kills with it…then again I’m also someone who is trash with the bmp2m idk why I can’t do good with that thing for the life of me
I disagree with the KV1S It has less armor than KV1, a gun same as T34 1941 / 42 performance wise, and slow acceleration forward. I get penned easely at its BR. Nothing justifies 4.0, the actual reverse gear countered by weaker armor. Should be 3.7
okay the part you talk about pt76b is not true pt76b has great shells you can kill any thing. You don't have armor but it's called flak them skill issue I say
Well, ground forces is a bit tricky because of the BR compression beginning at 5.7, meaning u will get uptiered constantly and at 6.7 u will have a lot of fun uptiered to 7.7 against post war tanks. Tbh u can just play & try but from 5.0 upward the grind becomes gradually higher, i would advise to get premium if possible & some premium tanks, without that there is no best way of grinding, we don't have pillboxes or AI columns like in air to farm xp. If u get a premium, i advise to get something around 9.0 (i know many say its not adviseable if u dont have a lineup) but what i did is to get a good tank (xm abrams, t72 turms, merkava 2D, the chinese ztz tank or the 120mm leo (try to avoid 105mm and go for 120mm gun if possible or get the green team vehicle and put a talisman on it, like on the BMP2M or the new freebrams) but dont buy any midtier (6.3, 6,7, 7,0 and so on) the days of fun in an IS2 or king tiger are gone, u are gonna get slapped around by heat & atgms like crazy) and then i got a good low tier AA, something like the Wirbelwind, so if my tank goes i can still slap helos or get the occasional plane, so i don't have to quit after dying once, grinding may take longer but atleast u have a vehicle that u can keep using if they add new unlockables, instead of abandoning it when at high tier. Good luck mate :)
I'd get a TURMS or talisman the T-44-100 or T-54 at 7.3 Then focus on medium tank line/light tank line and you wont have lineup problems. Obj 906 is competitive thru 10.0 same for bmp2
I think this guy is either a bit new to the game or he never had to grind because of the content creator program gaijin has. I think he never had the chance to grind out these tanks or never bothered until these videos so he’s not very familiar with things I’ve noticed quite a few times in this video where he’s just plainly wrong. I don’t dislike him at all and in fact I like him but he is wrong sometimes and that’s okay because maybe we are wrong so it’s not something to hate him for.
40:34 id beg to differ, the t-64's hull armor may be paper at its tier, but the turret cheeks SOMEHOW eat up dm53 no problem even around the gun mantlet area and is by far the strongest turret in the game for no reason whatsoever ive tested it in top tier matches hull down it can take top tier shell hits
Just go forwards and the game will take care of everything for you, from killing tanks at full speed while unstabilized to bouncinh the most bs shots ever
Great video but i won't agree with one thing. T-64B and weak armour. I see you probably don't have it spaded (especialy don't have ERA). Well, I have it almost 90% spaded and I would say, before I researched the ERA modification I could agree about armour part, but for me, for some magical reason after getting it, T-64B became tanky as hell, boucing a lot of shots even on uptiers, strange considering that contact 1 has only 5mm effectivness againts APFSDS (and yes i was boucing APFSDS).
I gave you a dislike. for putting politics in here. and by the way. for the entire history of Russia. as the West has been losing, so it will continue to lose, no matter what kind of tanks, planes and so on it has.
You realize that Russia is getting crushed in the war they started right? Like absolutely dominated. Russia has done nothing but lose since they started the war and have exposed themselves to the entire world just how incredibly weak and pathetic they are as an army and how weak and pathetic some of their people are for being so easily manipulated by Putin's propaganda. Russia isn't a super power. They a barely a power at all. Weak. Losers.

you dont even need to load HE , since it can be unreliable and requires you to aim on tank roofs or sides of the tank.

I think Russia has the most fun tank lineup in the entire game. It's at 4.3 where you have a great heavy, good TD options, a great scout, solid CAS options and can pair those with the entire gaggle of T-34/76 models.

It was alright when the t-34-57 was 4.3 and you could make a decent line up but you’re better off making a 3.7 or 5.0 lineup now.
I've been loving your deep review of the entire Tech Tree in War of Thunder is very funny and of course Very informative keep up the good work I hope you do well in the future because these videos are very good
Hey Sako, let the game be the game, don't put politics in this video game. The way you add pictures and words that curse the Russians, It's very cowardly and dirty. If you hate Russia so much, quit this game, and stop clinging to a Russian game to make money making videos, It's humiliating... Plus, I'm not Russian, and I don't support it either this war. But the way you are making me feel disgusted, pitiful of you... Unsubscribed and hope I won't encounter this kind of trash again!
A foreigner and not a fascist Russophobe?
Is there such a person?
Bye
@@КонстантинГоломозов hi! I'm American and am not a russophobe. Love from America!
Idk what to do, I’m using t34 (1942), kv1 (the 4.3 one), kv2, yag 10, and pe-8, what should I do? I get one shot every time even angling and I can’t pen anything even in down tiers.
Is there a version of this video for the Soviet aircraft?
Should i get the IS-6 or T34-100??
what happened to 2S38
“Other than the British”,very accurate statement
1:54 how do i fire the machine gun?
so im just wondering are the T-## or the KV tanks better? cause i just wanna get kills cause thats more fun
Have you seen the is3 the front armor you cant penetrate and the turret is a unreliable to hit it so you can’t penetrate the front even with a American 120mm t34 round and a lot of the times you bounce side shots
The Zis-43 should “be used against light tanks” he says while killing an panthe
Actually, I would battle you for a lot of things youve said. For instance, SU122 is great as it is almost inpenetrable at its rank, Soviet AA trucks are very good at their job. In fact, I see them as the best in the game. There was at least 5 thing I disagree with and im sure im not the only one while only being at the SMK
Interesting opinion for somebody that is quite uneducated on the subject of this current war that did not just start the 24th of February 2022. 27:43
Hey. Which one is better? T-34-57 or SU-85?
Wtf does kino mean?
still aplies in 2024?
the SU 122 is amazing what are you on
SU-57B best tank destroyer, trust me. Low profile, good mobility, great cannon, shitty armor. All the components to have fun!
Probably going to buy the IS 6 and sell my 2AV to buy the T10A on the market. I play arcade. You think its a good idea? Both guns are shit, but as long as I can pen panthers from the front it doesnt bother me.
play in realistic battle bro arcade isn't the real game
@@wezxoo_4071 Arcade is much better.
Can you make a video Like this on china. Would love to watch it!
22:10 I use British spelling myself but I didn't know armor is "armour' in British.
What custom sight do you use?
lets not forget that the LOG on russian tanks are really fucking good
im currently stuck in rank 4 with no silver lions and every match i play i just get rekt by germans , can anyone give me some tips to improve my gameplay and get silver lions?
I suggest to play as a light tank rather than play as a medium or a heavy. It’s the best to scout for enemies rather then going to destroy tanks. If the amount of SL isn’t enough for you then you can damage their crews or tracks to get an kill assist from your teammate after then you’ll be rewarded with a SL. You’ll need a speedy type of light tank that you can retreat in case if you get shot at. And, never try to finish an enemy tank, you can always get an Kill assist from your teammates.
hey i just got my is-3 and bmp-1, i try to play them but i just keep dying with them lol. can someone please tell any survival tips
even though the first ranks of vehicles are copy and paste, china does have some unique vehicles, did u make a guide on them?
No not yet
@@SAKOSNIPER is it possible for U to make one? I'd really appreciate, probably skip the first 4 tiers though but maybe type 62 exemption cause it's decently good
Sako you forgot the t72m2 moderna
As a moderna player i feel abandoned
It's not really a tech tree vehicle, and isn't easily available to new players. Plus it's basically a T-72B with a cool cannon
How do you get that box radar in the khrisantema I still have the cone shape
Settings, air battle settings, 'use rectangular radar indicator'
Honestly I like the pt-76 I commonly get 4-7 kills with it…then again I’m also someone who is trash with the bmp2m idk why I can’t do good with that thing for the life of me
For some reason I thought he said butter rating 😂
Didn't mention btr-zd? :(
28:23
Holy based as fuck
wdym pt-76 is bad ?? i get a lot of kills with it it has a good pen well not very mobile but still its really good for me ;-;
I disagree with the KV1S
It has less armor than KV1, a gun same as T34 1941 / 42 performance wise, and slow acceleration forward.
I get penned easely at its BR. Nothing justifies 4.0, the actual reverse gear countered by weaker armor. Should be 3.7
Bring 2-3 HE or HEAT rounds it helps with open top Tanks/ armored cars
also su-57b is turtle
Thats why USSR on S tier 😏😏😏
okay the part you talk about pt76b is not true pt76b has great shells you can kill any thing. You don't have armor but it's called flak them skill issue I say
The su57b has a better reload than the zis-30.
The (I)SU-152 is probably one of the best tanks at the BR. It works well no matter the tier or BR. Like a lower tier IS-2 or ISU-122
SU-122 is pretty good considering it’s armor and mobility. If you can close distance it’s lethal.
He also forgot the ISU-122 and the KV-122 which are absolutely incredible when aced. The reload is the only draw back.
Soap? What are you doing in warthunder?
Still using my BT5 in 4.0…
Do Italy because....Cars!
Any tips on how to grind the ground forces? I can grind air just fine (9.0), and my ground has fallen back so I want to catch up (6.3). Great vid
Well, ground forces is a bit tricky because of the BR compression beginning at 5.7, meaning u will get uptiered constantly and at 6.7 u will have a lot of fun uptiered to 7.7 against post war tanks.
Tbh u can just play & try but from 5.0 upward the grind becomes gradually higher, i would advise to get premium if possible & some premium tanks, without that there is no best way of grinding, we don't have pillboxes or AI columns like in air to farm xp.
If u get a premium, i advise to get something around 9.0 (i know many say its not adviseable if u dont have a lineup) but what i did is to get a good tank (xm abrams, t72 turms, merkava 2D, the chinese ztz tank or the 120mm leo (try to avoid 105mm and go for 120mm gun if possible or get the green team vehicle and put a talisman on it, like on the BMP2M or the new freebrams) but dont buy any midtier (6.3, 6,7, 7,0 and so on) the days of fun in an IS2 or king tiger are gone, u are gonna get slapped around by heat & atgms like crazy)
and then i got a good low tier AA, something like the Wirbelwind, so if my tank goes i can still slap helos or get the occasional plane, so i don't have to quit after dying once, grinding may take longer but atleast u have a vehicle that u can keep using if they add new unlockables, instead of abandoning it when at high tier.
Good luck mate :)
@@DerDrecksack87 alright, thanks man. I picked up the TURMS in the summer sale and I’ve got the BTR-ZD already researched, so I guess it’s grind time
I'd get a TURMS or talisman the T-44-100 or T-54 at 7.3
Then focus on medium tank line/light tank line and you wont have lineup problems. Obj 906 is competitive thru 10.0 same for bmp2
@@vincea1830 exactly, the free bmp2m rips hard or dies hard, nothing in between, still worth it 110%
so I just gotta tuff out 2-4 aght
Love the OSRS reference LOL
20:34 T-44 HEAVY AND SLOW??? Bruh one of its main selling point is it weight and speed. It's lighter than the T-34 (31 vs 32.2 tons)
it feels much slower since it has been moved to 6.7 or it can be the fact that I'm used to Top tier now
@@YoRHaUnit2Babe coming to the 44 from the 34 it's noticeably faster, better acceleration, better manoeuvrability imo
I find the T-44 has better top speed than the T-34 but is no faster in terms of acceleration or close quarters manoeuvring.
POV: twitter
I think this guy is either a bit new to the game or he never had to grind because of the content creator program gaijin has. I think he never had the chance to grind out these tanks or never bothered until these videos so he’s not very familiar with things I’ve noticed quite a few times in this video where he’s just plainly wrong. I don’t dislike him at all and in fact I like him but he is wrong sometimes and that’s okay because maybe we are wrong so it’s not something to hate him for.
40:34 id beg to differ, the t-64's hull armor may be paper at its tier, but the turret cheeks SOMEHOW eat up dm53 no problem even around the gun mantlet area and is by far the strongest turret in the game for no reason whatsoever ive tested it in top tier matches hull down it can take top tier shell hits
Yeah gaijin needs to fix it
And turn it into paper armor as it was in real life
@@cristobalalvarez5491 wouldnt say exactly paper it could probably still stop early apfsds along with HEAT-FS
That's where self entrenching comes to play ;)
Yea both the T64s were probably my favourite experiences
Ah yes bringing politics into a game, the eternal anglo struck again.
Just go forwards and the game will take care of everything for you, from killing tanks at full speed while unstabilized to bouncinh the most bs shots ever
As a russian main i reckon your comment is spot on, also having german mains usually not on your team is a great advantage
Great video but i won't agree with one thing. T-64B and weak armour. I see you probably don't have it spaded (especialy don't have ERA). Well, I have it almost 90% spaded and I would say, before I researched the ERA modification I could agree about armour part, but for me, for some magical reason after getting it, T-64B became tanky as hell, boucing a lot of shots even on uptiers, strange considering that contact 1 has only 5mm effectivness againts APFSDS (and yes i was boucing APFSDS).
I have it spaded and it’s a beast
T64BV is a gem
When they finally make to we’re contact 1 armor can’t bounce apfds rounds russia top tier will get cut in half.
Now imagine a T-64BM "Bulat"

Brother are you seeing people taking 9.7s to 11.3?
I gave you a dislike. for putting politics in here. and by the way. for the entire history of Russia. as the West has been losing, so it will continue to lose, no matter what kind of tanks, planes and so on it has.
You realize that Russia is getting crushed in the war they started right? Like absolutely dominated. Russia has done nothing but lose since they started the war and have exposed themselves to the entire world just how incredibly weak and pathetic they are as an army and how weak and pathetic some of their people are for being so easily manipulated by Putin's propaganda.
Russia isn't a super power. They a barely a power at all. Weak. Losers.
Okay bro, you hate Russia based on Reddit myths about russian army, we get it
Cope
"reddit myths"
my brother in christ russia is litterally losing to a bunch of wheat farmers, just like US loses to bunch of rice farmers
He's so annoying with that shit.
@@SAKOSNIPER the most creative comeback to ever grace the earth. Congrats.
@@petrkdn8224 they show you the Russian losses but they never talk about Ukrainian losses. They too are bad. War has been bloody for both sides.
