5:06 I didn't know you watched CGP grey!
Brenus is a CGP Gray watcher confirmed!
no
Warpath is crap I have tried it

Gaijin should add a 2500 spawn point Lancaster just for 38th parallel that carries the bouncing dam destroying bomb, and when someone spawns in with it with their 2500 spawn points, the water completely drowns the map and all of the players, ending the game very similarly to the nuke. Would be cool
Lol nice
That would make amphibious vehicles more viable
It would probably brake the server as well
X32 pog
that seems like a good idea!
Warming up engines can be useful when taking off of carriers. At least in the past when the catapult bug was still in game
As a console player, how?
Also for when landing with a plane that has reverse thrust so you can brake at the same time
And some early jet like arado,me262,he162and other
@@humzaakhtar9208 Bind a button for brakes in your controls
Catapult bug is gone now??
more train facts:
the locomotive on the American Desert map is an EMD F3A, one of the most successful diesel locomotive designs in history (part of EMD's famous F-series). Over 1200 units were built between 1945 and 1949, a few are still in operation today. The success of the F3 led to the F7, one of the best selling locomotives of all time.
the steam locomotives found in other maps are class-E 0-10-0, a Soviet heavy freight locomotive. the Class-E were one of the most mass produced steam locomotives in Soviet/Russian history. with over 11,000 built, the Class-E was also the most widely produced single class of locomotive in the world. some Class-E remained in service until the 1970s when the last of steam was retired for diesel and electric locomotives
Question, Trainman - is there a pattern to which the 0-10-0 belongs? Does that designation refer to an attribute of the locomotive? Ty muchly
Damn
@@A407RAC since train man did not respond to you, I figured I would give it a shot. The designation does indeed relate to an attribute of the locomotive. Whenever you see numbers in a arranged in that format with steam locomotives, it refers to the arrangement of the wheels. For example, 2-4-2, this means there are 2 wheels in front, one on each side, then 4 driving wheels (2 per side) which are driven by the steam from the boiler, then 2 wheels after the driving wheels. By this logic you can identify the layout of the locomotive by a simple set of numbers. 0-10-0 is a locomotive with no wheels in front or behind of the driving wheels and there are 5 driving wheels per side.
I know I’m late to the party but I hope that I helped!
yes but this is not almost useful knowledge, THIS IS REAL KNOWLEDGE o/
@@A407RAC its pattern of the Wheel Arrangement. For example that Class E Locomotives, it got 5 drive wheels (Wheels directly connected to the axle). Since train have two set wheels, then times it 2 and you got X-10-X locomotives. The more driver wheels means the train have bigger power. One of the strongest locomotives ever made is Big Boy, with realtively huge set of wheels, 4-8-8-4 (4 front neutral wheels, 4 set of driver wheels (each have 4, so total have 16), and 4 back neutral wheels). Sorry for late response.

Better though
@@Nnotmuch_12its actually a decent game. its just that their ads are stupid like most mobile games
@@thatguy4828 bt7 as a “medium tank”
Lmaooo
@@Cbrmkn98xs yea, I dont really mind the ads, its just them claiming their game is "super accurate" while showing the battle of pearl harbor in the atlantic....
@@CaptainBenzler its makes WoT looks more accurate lol
The fact that I can test drive any vehicle in game by using WT Wiki is extremely important and usefull - often there are enemies I don't know how to fight because they simply don't exist in WT client research tree.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS KNOWLEDGE
Wait wot
I never knew that and I've been playing for over 2 years
@UCpgMEr0tFv65Hahi7wQzVZw it does you need to have the game open and you have to sign into the wiki
except you cant. Theres is not test drive button available
@@caragas9331 same
you can rapid fire ATGMs whilst on an allied capture point because their resupply time is alot faster than their reload time. I know this is true for Warrior and Ratel 20, not sure about others.
Works for IT-1
@@elliotshin6448 oooh thats dirty.. i imagine it works for most atgms since the ammo is stored in the launcher
I can confirm that! Very usefull to be honest bc smt i was still loading my marder when more enemys camed toward me
works for bmp and marder too
I've seen someone do it with the U-SH 405 recently, he would spam fire his entire magazine, then quickly re-arm and repeat.
"Hexagons are bestsgons" lol appreciate the reference!!!
CGP Gray?
@@the4thtomato138 yeh
I noticed that too
I will say, bomb skipping is incredibly useful in naval, as often I don’t have time to drop it perfectly, so I come in fast off the deck and drop a bomb and let it skip into the side of a ship while I pull off. Saves time and can actually save your plane.
Just use torpedoes in that case xd
@@marnixkloppenburg9482 you can carry much less torpedoes than 100kg bombs, and most planes don’t even have the option to equip torpedoes.
@@foximacentauri7891 dive bombing pretty accurate tho especially if you are flying an attacker, which cant carry torps
Do i need to set an fuse time for them to skip ? My bombs always explode no matter the conditions
@@rocket2739 I set mine to a 1.5 second timer, it's generally good enough for the bomb to hit the side of the ship and drop to the waterline, ideally detonating ammo when it explodes. it can be iffy for bombs below 250kg, I find 500kg bombs give the best result. I use the Me410 at 4.0 with the 2x500kgs in individual drops. One is good for a DD and most cruisers if you hit the ammo, larger ships might need both.
that stalin really caught me off guard lmao
PIN COMMENT OR ELSE MR MATT
It doesn't confirm that Stalin is canon though because there's an official decal saying "For Stalin"
@@mikailvito7200
Well Stalin was a pseudonym so it is possible the Stalin of war thunder lore is different from the Stalin of irl, so the picture 100% confirms that irl Stalin is canon in war thunder
@@kaustuv5682 but what if the Stalin in the picture is also a different guy? Its pretty blurry and we can't confirm that Stalin is canon because it's just a picture
@@mikailvito7200
Hmm maybe the war thunder lore still remains a mystery
Another train fact: Despite hull break being removed from the game, you can still hull break the trains
I can't remember if it was said in another video but a lot of people dont know that you can mark where you are looking for squad mates. You go into Controls > common, and in there you will be able to set a key to "set target for squad" and it is extremely useful as it can be more accurate that scouting but is only visible for squadmates
this is also useful for pinging the exact location of an enemy or calling artillery
This wouldn't fit in this video because that is actually useful knowledge.
But most warthunder player is playing the game like solo game
@@_invencible_ it can also use to caculate the distance between enemy, i use it before in the type 75 spg and score a kill at 1700 meter at the desert map
@@liewyuhao116 nice
That Steam tip is actually pretty important. Wish I knew that before.
Same I just recently bought eagles :(
I can only use steam cards ;(
@@phantomaviator1318 same....wait can we use prepaid cards from walmart tho? i think one of mine has like 20 bucks still in it
@@whiskyhyena6801 i have no idea lol
Love the fact you mention giving Snailjin money as literally the LAST thing you ever want to hear about in the video :)
4:04 the P-47 also has one, they're probably landing lights to project the area ahead and ensure a safe landing. Pretty sure a couple other aircraft have them too!
I just wish Gaijin would let us use them to fight in the clouds.
almost all jets also have it, just informing tho :)
@@rxzxqx6982 yeah such as the Il-28
Helis have retractable landing lights too but i think only those on the Ka50 actually retract because they are coupled to landing gear controls.
There also other features coupled to the landing gear e.g the Antenna on the M.S.405/406/410 or D.520, the ventral fin of the Mig-23 and the Radar system on the Shackleton.
Some Bombers even have retractable Gunner stations.
Some Spitfires has these too.
@@Nicitel94 I think the tropical variants?
Regarding the AVRE's repair ability, I would also like to add that, despite being classified as TD, the Type 60 ATM can also help repair allies, as well as mark enemies.
So can the pakpuma
@@notapier3953 True
So could the Centauros, event before they classified them as light tanks.
Class 3 (P) had the modifications too, yet it couldn't use them. Now it's a light tank too.
There's more SPGs with this feature, like Type 60 SPRG(C), M56, M50, ASU-57, ASU-85, ...
Even some top tier SPAAs like Stormer, Type 93, the big trucks ... every SAM only SPAA, it seems.
It IS a royal engineer’s tank, to be fair
3:43
I mean, the IS tanks are named after him, so he was already canon
Hope Gaijin adds the al-Zarrar and al khalid tanks.
Its also fake
@@peepeepoopooman1953 It's not fake but it only works for ground vehicles
@@Miszorov Nah it's absolutely fake, you ain't getting to test drive a damn thing if its on the research tree and locked, like always
@@genericscottishchannel1603 Weird, gonna test it when I get back home
@@Miszorov did it work?
“almost useful war thunder knowledge”
“stalin is the gunner on this skin”
ah yes, very almost useful.
1:15 how i need this in my life right now
never mind
@@Rob_Katt doesntt work?
@Jinyuan LI hmu i got u
i can tell you how to do it
@@easterneagle8811 yes please i need it
6:13 I actually remember me and some other person doing that during squadron battles on Kuban. I was flying a Bearcat and did a touch and go on the point near the lake, then the other guy actually landed on the tank part of the map in Arado and drove to the point to capture it, it was so bloody funny
I've been wondering... Can a Strv 101-0 use its hydraulic suspension and flat surface to serve as a ramp for a small and speedy enough vehicle?
Yes, but it's a bit buggy and it'll be more of a lewd tank on tank scene than a sick jump.
@@dlfn7623 MMMmmm
Strv 103-0*
The 101 is the Centurion.
@@Mirvra ah yes my bad
@@dlfn7623 debom?
8:50 What actually happens is that the Fiat gets overpressured from its own heat shell, as the explosion from the enemy tank comes after (see turret for detail) the Fiat dies, not allowing the pressure build up, and the tank is stated to have died by Crew Knocked Out, another sign of overpressure, HEAT shells also easily overpressure, multiple of them contain a total of 1 kg of tnt, enough to kill a light vehicle. As a matter of fact, yes I can see that the shrapnel from the HEAT comes back into the Fiat, suggesting a self kill.
"hexagons are the bestagons" nice CGP reference
9:03 me with 44k silver lions right now: **yes my lord i will**
I actually won a Squadron battle match once by landing my spitfire on a cap zone, stopping the ticket bleed and allowing my teammate to hunt down the last player.
So that one is a real useful knowledge, shame on you for calling almost useful!
That's pretty cool, i did the same with a fw190 but my team was so fu*in useless that another guy just killed me and capped it again
it called almosst useful because it hard to apply in the game
does this work in gf ab? this is like almost troll tactics if you can just bum tap a few points
@@Appletank8 It's hard, but works. Bottom tier helicopters are probably the best for it. They're low enough BR to escape the guided missile hell, but high enough BR where games might actually be super close. I've had a super clutch zone capture in my AH-1 more than once. Low and high BRs always seem to be a total wash for one team.
The Richard Bong fact really hits home. I live 20 minutes away from his home town and have been to his museum. I didn't even know his P38 was in the game, let alone it was so special :,)
8:38 "Poor vector" - My brother
I remember bouncing a bomb while attacking a ship - I thought it was the only explanation, while very suspicious, as I hit a ship next to it even though I knew my bomb run was for the first ship
3:37 stalin be manning the AA at the back
This is just amazing 👏! The amount of effort put into this series is just astounding! Keep up the amazing work Matt!
almost as usless as me, yep this video is funny.
2:14 WarPath is so historically accurate, it lists a Stuka as a FW-190.
The dead tank armor being modeled is something I'm gonna keep in mind when someone thinks they're safe behind a dead friendly.
5:55 The AVRE even can help when a tank needs a fire extinguished
the info for the Centurion AVRE repair assist and the ammo cook off are actually useful as it lets you know you can save teammates with the centurion and avoid death with light tanks when doing combat at close range. Ok also the French CA Loraine is also capable of repair assist. (Edit: it appears they made it so most tanks can help with repairs now. they just have to be a similar vehicle that uses the same parts.)
The IL-28 gets the same landing lights when the gear is deployed.
Sinai is already in Egypt.
6:50 taking train spotting seriously.
Matt, love it man... nothing else to say.... Keep this stuff up man! Big things for 2022!!!
Fun fact: There is a museum dedicated to Richard Ira 'Dick' Bong with a P-38 painted to look like Bong's from WW2 in Superior, WI. It is a great place and I recommend the 'Heavy Metal Tour' where you can get up close and personal with the aircraft
You dont need to hold alt when moving the mouse, just press the arrows alone, the cursor will move
6:04, if you shoot the heli model in 38th parallel south spawn it will also be marked as an enemy
I suppose it makes sense for the AVRE to have the ability to help with since it’s an Engineering vehicle.
never thought id hear the words "gaijin" and "save money" in the same sentence
dont know if you've covered the houses on the japan map. you can shoot out doors and windows to see through the houses
5:46 is now outdated, thankfully. Now any vehicle can help with repairs as long as you have parts researched.
Epic content as always matt
If you look through pretty much every city map, Berlin, Sweden, Normandy, Maginot Line, every single clock that is posted around the city all stop dead at 3:00 pm.
Oh and i have wondered from where i know this voice, i was on your stream recently :D
3:46 There is also a marketplace skin for a GAZ-MM(72-K) featuring a picture of Stalin on the back side of the gun shield
5:11 but...sinai is part of Egypt already
Not to me!!/s
5:06 CGP Grey reference? This is turning into the 4th dimension…
I agree.
8:43 Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein
@@lil__boi3027 it’s fixed now
I love the "hexagons are the bestagons" bit you snuck in
that last advice is actually useful in this whole video
8:14. Until you try to belly land in the SAAB-105s and get pilote knocked out. And then when you look at your plane again in spectator mode the pilots' heads are moving. Aaah, the joys of life.
about lamps on tanks: would it be too op to be able to blind enemies when you turn it on? but also have it as a destructible module that can either be repaired or not
i personally think it'd be an interesting dynamic and from what i can tell, there aren't too many vehicles with spotlights mounted onto them other than the IR ones you can already turn on. it'd also be interesting to see the downsides to having it on too, like being able to be spotted from further distances more easily
05:50 the flarakrad out of all things can scout AND help allies repair as well
3:32 There is also a nice photograph of stalin on the GAZ-MM milk truck skin
"Which means stalin is officially canon in the war thunder universe"
Ok i want to know the rest of the war thunder lore now.
War thunder lore videos when
That dated the video. All vehicles can now repair each other. Which will I’m glad for makes me miss running around at top tier with a locust repairing people.
5:20 you implemented WHAT?! Gaijin!
i like the reference to the famous dambusters raid with the lancaster
Some of these are extremely useful, especially the clock. Long-time flights can take a lot of time and I often forget it's already 5am. That was my biggest issue with the harrier it does not have a clock.
Definitely going to be test driving some supersonic jets now
note for 8:20
SB2s (earliest soviet bomber) cannot belly land and will be counted as down and out.
I never thought to see my list in one of your vids. Thank you so much!
how terrible was my pronunciation of your name
@@ZoltanSultan I'd give it a solid 7/10.
the "separate button for aircraft parking brake" wasn't "almost useful" back when the ho 229 came out. On berlin or norway, it was NECESSARY, in order to get a stock 229 of the ground with blowing up.
Fun fact: the stars in night battles are realisticly portrayed constellations! Any amateur astronomer will easily recognise Cassiopeia, Big Dipper, etc.
I remember when planes used to explode on hitting airfield runway even going so slow you almost stal if you forget landing gear
1:28
it also very helpful for
- F5-C players
-full load of ordinance
-any runway under 2000 ft
5:30 Damn you! You’ve roast the ultimate camping spot!
I knew about the clock. Previously I played Il2 and there the clock would be set by the mission. Day, dawn, dusk, night would have set times. Not only the mission would tell you what time of the day it is but you could also look at the clock and see if the light conditions would improve. Mostly it would start at 12:00 which i found useful for keeping track of the mission time. But whatever most people play WT in 3th person anyway.
"Almost useful" war thunder knowledge: tells you how to save money.
10/10
1:18 now i can rickroll my friend
goddamn every time i try to watch an episode of this series late at night, i have to stop and watch it in the morning
You can spam with smoke grenades when you're in a cap point, while driving a puma. I used it to cover the whole point in smoke.
5:06 ohhhh I loved that cgp grey reference
I actually found the one about the trenches out the hard way the other day when I tried to jump my ASU-57 over them and missed only to land right in the trench and then proceeded to wonder if I could fit in the bunker. Sadly it is not tall enough to shoot through the firing ports.
The whole engine warm up thing is going to be very useful when the vegan needs to take off quick
5:06 - love that CGP grey reference
8:40 on the mosquito there is also a “copilot” inside the cockpit even tho it doesn’t show him in the x-ray
“Hexagons are the bestagons “
I see you are a man of culture as well
You do not have to double click the decal to change its placement. You can click it once and then click anywhere and it will enter placement mode :)
Also, (sort of related to 9:30) I noticed recently that on some houses on the Japan map, you can shoot the doors off with explosive shells.
5:50 thats because its an engineer tank, its nice attention to detail
5:33 that's actually pretty bloody useful
About the kirsk trenches if you have a locust you can shoot through the little holes
i sometimes still see people with custom smoke trails and i always wonder how to get one myself .. the last one i can remember was a grey-ish sparking one
5:51 The japanese Type 60 SPRG also has this feature
Another notable vehicle with it is the ASU-57, which also has the ability to scout.
Biggest mistakes i see people make while dogfighting is going into the scissor maneuver whenever they cross up with another plane. You almost always want to go into a rolling scissor
train fact: the trains on American desert (and Space Port) are EMD F2s which is ironically the lowest produced locomotive in the EMD F series.
I killed a Tiger H1 with Smoke shell by shooting between sproket and 1st road wheel right when smoke shells were introduced. my dumbbrain thought that smoke shells were there to not let enemy know our location in kill cam, so took that shot. Also smoke shell has explosive in it in very less which is why it worked in around 2017 i think
6:04
For the next one: It also applies to the heli outside the southwest spawn in that spot where campers go do nothing in the Korea ground map.
0:58 also on seversk-13, there's a police patroller near an intersection playing a radio! just found that out recently
As someone who has played war thunder religiously since 2016 (currently in the 1200's of continuous login) a bit if this I knew, but holy crap the test drive thing blew my mind.... Also the custom smoke from ixwa strike I think I saw a comment talking about how it *can* affect visual contact with someone being on your 6 while you try defensive flying. (Not that I totally use the new years smoke for this exact reason or anything lol)
Stalin is not only on the back turret of the Pe8 but on the inside gun shield of the GAZ MM market skin.
I've already known the "shoot through corpses" one, but I just wanna say that it's absolutely useful
I seen Pavel so many times in a pe-8, even checked once that he shouldnt be there with X-ray
I feel nice that i knew this one before
The speaker horns and some windmills will show up as targets on the Khrizantema ground radar, as well.
smoke sort of HE as it burst the smoke charge..., MK5 AVRE...engineer vehicle..., buying golden eagles....damn that's useful
more planes have that light that deploys with the landing gear, from the top of my head i can only remember the Il-28s have them but im sure others do too
