Moments like this make me repeatedly wonder why is PT16/T14 9.7. I've had this moments a regularly, playing this tank. On some maps it is able to wipe out more then half of enemy team in 10-15 seconds. T-80BV on 10.0, Challenger mark 2 and 3, ZTZ96A are examples of tanks on these BRs, and it is significantly more difficult to make them perform so good.
@@AltoTheWarlockit’s literally cuz of the mobility and reload with the games map design format completely catering to tanks like this. irl this ovbiously is a huge advantage, but way less significant when you put what type of thermal and aps, chemical protection technology modern tanks have. This tank should be shit on paper, but it succeeds from the same effect it has as the DF105. The ability to flank before everyone else can position themselves with a good reload is every tanks weakness in this game. All they gotta do is learn the map and form a plan for the tanks route and you can easily score 7+ kill games with a tank that has nothing but good mobility and reload.
Fun fact, the rangefinder on the Pt-16/T14 is an electro optical rangefinder, that is near the speed and precision of a LRF, but without emitting anything that can be detected by LWR.
I just bought my way through it dont have the time to grind lol spent more time working making money than playing that event lol i love being a wallet warrior
@blakeeissens6245 it's like half of a workday for a good amount of people, so it's not exactly too crazy if you have disposable income definitely beats fucking agonizing through the grind but fuck gaijin for making it so awful to grind
i had a teammate in a l3/33 with bushes go into the town cap on frozen pass. They kept looking confused and I told them it was the glitched crashed plane on the roof. "Known bug." they went "ahh man, typical gaijin crap" as the little l3/33 sat there the entire mission holding the cap.
if you get single cap breslua where the cap is in the middle island, you can hide in the church, most tanks cant fit in the gap, and if they try you can shoot them and just attach your tow to their corps. Ive won 3 games, where my team melted but the enemy couldnt find me. One game a t44 tried to come in, didnt know which way to face hit turret, he turned it to the left, i was in a jumbo, shot him, attached the rope and anchored myself to a corner as the others tried to pull his tank. Luckily i didnt get bombed.
@@LugborG CAS takes alot of skill to do well, but damn is it rewarding when you learn it. You can ALMOST save games sometimes. But it doesnt matter because as Odd also teaches, winning doesnt matter; fun does. You dont need to win to have fun.
These things are a menace whenever I see them. Not only is the tank spectacularly good (30 hp/ton, reverse gearbox, SPAA-level turret mobility, AND amazing firepower), but everyone who has one is an expert at the game.

How cool would it be if you could press a button that would make your entire crew focus on replenishing the first stage ammo rack? Kindof like repair, but it quickly refills the first stage.
I was playing this tank as a backup to my flakradpz. I killed two T80 BVMS from the front with no turret rotation, and the right track gone.. needless to say, this thing is amazing.
I guess the closest in the tech tree is the Leopard 2K and I love the 2K so much... It has almost everything the PT has, except the auto loader. Therefore it has laser rangefinder (I guess) and quite trolly armor. And a 20mm on top of it!
@@Forever02 Planes can get frustrating as soon as you climb in ranks, different nations tend to have a different design philosophy nd different plane types do different things as well, similar to with tanks but it being a 3 dimensional arena it affects gameplay way more. I main tanks myself, I can recommend giving ships a go as well. If you want to play someday let me know and good luck!

Odd! Spaghetti high command has a challenge for you should you choose to accept it. You need to stealthily cap a point at a higher BR (your choice) and hide from the enemy. You will be provided with Italy's most capable stealth tank, the L3/33 CC. Bushes are optional. Godspeed.
I vividly remember the grind for this thing singlehandedly sucked the fun out of WT for me and it took almost six months after putting the game down upon earning this leo for me to feel like coming back to the game. Glad the tank is strong i guess, but MAN the grind for that event was so incredibly miserable
and yet when the AI use the Gepard in air battles it is literally the most OP vehicle in existence, same thing for Helicopter PVE with how broken the Gepard AI is right now in those battles
This vehicle is available though, if you're not a poor guy. ~200 are on sale on the Gaijin marketplace. I'm waiting to sell mine so I can have premium time for years. Not selling it under 150 GJN.
How can it be your favourite if you can’t even play it? It is exactly the same as Leo 1A5 or A1A1 L44, but a bit slower. The MEXAS add-on armour does provide no protection, beside luring hostiles to shoot your turret cheeks where nothing is behind.
Odd, have you played the M4A3 (76) W since the drone age update? It got its 500 hp engine back and new, better gear ratios for its transmission. Very good acceleration. Perhaps my favorite 5.7 medium right now.
yup its been almost 2 years since we got the chance to get this Leo and then we got another Leo not to much after this one. Thermals are just a crutch for us blind people I remember people saying this tank wasnt that good back when it came out and it was sold for like cheap gaijin money on the market.
Way more fun to see you absolutely clap the sh*t out of the enemy, than see you suffer because of the gepard. Would love to play with you some time. And keep the fun videos up dude 👍 @oddbawz
This is just a better Type 90 or Type 10 solely because of its BR. Paper armor, excellent mobility, fast reload, decent shells. The Type 90 and 10 do have thermals though and have enough composite to stop most HEAT-FS shells but against darts which you face most of the time, death. Especially with 3 crew members.

lol got this from a football lootbox. Been thinking if I should trade it and a t80um2 for the t-76-57. Seems like this thing is good too.
Nothing beats squeezing onto the capture point in a Wiesel and staying there the entire match without anyone finding you

This reminds me of the m22 video. How powerful good mobility is with a player that knows how to use it.

Its funny that yesterday it recomemded me an older video on this tank
Quite enjoyable. Thank you!!!
Awesome video..... great to see you having fun.
A Norwegian dude in a leo 2a6 in an OddBawZ intro?? Great job bro! JAA VI ELSKER DETTE LANDET!!!
So glad I got this when it first came out.
Thank you ODD!
Wish could got this back in 2021, but didn't have the time for it with school. Man should got it when it was cheap, now over 100
The PT-16 is one of those vehicles I’m quite devastated with myself for not getting. Also that MI-28 looks like a decent heli for Sweden.

One of my favorite tanks to play, just is a chill tank tbh
A new PC and your vid card in it melted down?!? Damn man. Well nice vid. Tnxs for the show. As always. +Thumbs up from me on it.
here before OddBawZ fixes the typo
"HANS DOWN" hahahahaha i dunno if its intentional but great funny there
love the vid as always
*bows*
Reppin Norway in the intro is nice.
the part in your video that cracks me up is your laugh it is so funny its either that i laugh easy but it is just funny
Feel like Oddz really distilled some really good scottish hatred for the Gepard and is now projectile vomiting it at the enemy :D
and yet when the AI use the Gepard in air battles it is literally the most OP vehicle in existence, same thing for Helicopter PVE with how broken the Gepard AI is right now in those battles
This is cursed af but the full speed in reverse is something I'd love on more vehicles lol
That SHT run was pretty good man don't be too hard on yourself.
Hate the helicopters so much, they can sit just outside AA range and hover around the map while somehow tanking shots better than the actual tanks.
Favorite war thunder TH-camr Hans down

Wait how the hell do you have a laser rangefinder when in the modifications you only have a rangefinder so it shouldn't adjust automatically
0:13 that pig sound JAJAJJAJAJA
The only event I farmed and im happy I did
24:07 until 24:14 is literally me playing the T 34 85
Really reminds me of the Char 25t
Auto loader, no armor, good gun, good reverse
If you haven’t played it in a while go back to it !
At 7:46 you can see a zwastika (with z) on a tank
i recently spaded this at 11.3, amazing tank
Odd you can't get away with that title
ITS A 4.0 sec reload I love it I have along with the 2AV
I am soo happy I own this thing. It is an absolute blast to play
5:15 My man got sent to the backrooms
Wish i had this. Would be a fine addition to my 9.7 Lineup for sure. Great Video!
Man the amount of times i shot this tank and did 0 damage is enough to confirm that germany suffers from bad players and not bad tanks
Oh. The CC turned on for some reason. I don't recall clicking that? But it's hilarious. XD
9:11 I still dont understand who thought helis were a good addition to the game
my fav leo in the game is the C2A1 that i unfortunately do not have but i do have the 2AV.

Hope the PC gets sorted soon, and I hope they are making it right especially as its your business
No smoke, no thermals and no armour are legitimate downsides, but that autoloader and mobility make up for it pretty well
A little challenge I thought up: try killing a 5.0 tank or above with the Swordfish, but using a torpedo.
Do is yourself, these challenges are not fun.
First vehicle I bought in wt. It is excellent. I would argue the Japanese type 90s/tkx are just as good.
Thats definitely the best Leoaprd
I honestly thought the vid was about the Polish prototype of the T-91 Twardy
gotta love leopards
What did they do to my boy!?!
Let's throw out a random vehicle suggestion that is seldom seen on yt. The VT1-2. 2200 horsepower speed machine.
Challenge time: the Japanese A7M2 has unguided air to air rockets. See if you can shoot down a plane with them. Technically still day 5.
So, Oddy.... You ever gonna mess around and destroy German mains in top tier with something like the M18? It's surprisingly good at 11.0 xD

Talk about blind ducks at the start of the first match.
I sold mine to trade for an M8 AGS back when they were about the same price. Don't regret it.
You should try the ariete (p), it's a pretty good vehicle
I see what you did there in the title.
imagine the Leo 2A6 but with this autoloader, oooh boi
The days that you get to murder a bunch of TURMS-T is a good day ^^
Oh I remember this one, kinda wish it had 20mm as Leo2k does
