I forgor to mention, go sub to this guy for some of the simulations shown: youtube.com/@dejmianxyzsimulations4174?si=958g8QW5XhIEe4OD (Some of them were mine though too lol…) Unrelated, I was away from TH-cam for so long TH-cam Studio on uninstalled itself on my phone because I hadn’t touched it in so long 💀
Tbh I completely agree, however I do admit that the map changes gaijin is introducing are not great for most light tanks so I get why new players are disliking them. There simply not made for head on engagements something that new and changed maps try to force you into.
Bro the vickers mk3 is the only good british tank what, it gets a laser rangefinder with HEATFS and APDS and a stabilizer at a BR way lower than other tanks do
@@SpindlerMatthias It's a lot clunkier than a Wiesel and can't handle light targets nearly as well. It's not a bad tank but it's nothing stellar either, just average. The Rat King is the Fox.
@@russman3787I have killed so many foxes with XM800T and have gotten many kills by just moving at like 70KPH and dumping rounds into Leo 1 sides. Imo xm800 is rat king
As bad as gajin's balancing is sometimes I'm just glad the community doesn't have control over it. Balancing would be out the window completely immediately
@@Jerry0880 not really because alot of people play 8.7/8.3 I dont agree with ur statement but even if it gets a uptier it can easily hold its ground cause of the insane turret armour
I love the mk10's gun to bits, its got absurd firepower for a 9.0 tank thatll hold its own even in a full uptier unfortunately almost nothing else does, and you get a LOT of uptiers (in my experience) speed: bad at its br, bad below its br. Similarly it lacks torque & struggles to accelerate or climb at any reasonable rate armour: mixed bag. Turret armour is generally good at br. Drops off hard in an uptier over 9.7 even at range in my experience. Hull armour is just tragic however & if you get a bad streak of flat & small maps your survivability basically goes out the window , not aided by the vertical ammuntion charges directly behind the lower front plate & the occasional issue of the solid sabot rounds in the front of the hull miraculously detonating when hit (?????) the main problem is that the tank was designed for a situation entirely different to war thunder. There's training footage out there where they say the chieftain's typical combat range is about 1.5 miles, not the 300 metres you often end up at in game
Britain is immensely fun as someone who plays every nation, britain has my highest (non premium) br lineup once you get to the fireflies, it snowballs very hard into being fun
Tbh it depends on the gun and the shell, for example the APCBC shell for the 17pdr is AMAZING, while the 75mm stock AP is absolute ass. APDS on British tanks is also a different mess. 84mm APDS CAN be good in some situations, but after the nerfs you're better off with the stock APCBC and only use the APDS to kill heavy targets. Britain isn't the best nation, and solid shot is very inconsistent, but it's nowhere near as bad as everyone makes it up to be. The Comet 1, TOG II, and rest of the 5.3 British tanks are so unbelievably fun to play
I think most of solid shot's reputation comes from the fact APHE is absolutely ridiculous in game & can award kills from even the most barely even penned shots. the 17 pounder is by far my favourite gun in the game as its sheer penetrating power means it actually benefits from heavy tanks as their thick plates result in a lot of spalling & often centre of mass shots kill anyway. Early sabot is not great in my opinion & frequently direct hits to ammo using the 76mm APDS do basically nothing because the enemy's rounds are wider than the sabot itself
As an Italy main who loves just about everything in the tech tree and plays the UK for fun, I fully agree with this video, especially the aubl and uk parts
I COMPLETELY agree with the british point, they REALLY arent that bad, I wouldn't recommend britain as a first nation, but if you've used APFSDS or APDS before its a great nation. RULE FIREFLY RAAH *Deletes literally anything with insane spall*
Rooikat really is the sexiest armored car of all time, Every statistic about it is just great. I'd think the dudes complaining about the post-pen just bought the premium Rooikat and don't play UK but then that's literally the one with good post-pen. Rooikat slander will not be allowed in this household, hate on the Ratels instead. ATGMS at 6.7 can't save driving equivalent of CBT.
I ADORE the Aubl HVG, genuinely one of my favorite light tanks. I just love the little hardened spaghetti launcher on it at 8.0, it's a lot of fun to zip around the map and pick people off with the tiny railgun. I understand why people would say its bad, but its fun :3
Scout vehicles are peak fun in War Thunder. Your role is to be the biggest bastard on server and spot people for free xp and sometimes style on someone. I got so many kills with AB43 while doing barrel rolls. Fun times.
the cent mk 10 has amazing armour for 8.0, and the cheiftans all around have aswell, the vickers line is essentially early leo tanks but british, uk TT is amazing.
another underrated one is the churchill mk.7, ik i've only played mobile wt, but the churchill 7 is just absolute perfection, it has so much armor that its pretty much invulnerable to US 76 and sometimes can even bounce an 88, while it has a pretty decent gun, the 75mm doesnt have much pen but it does exelent post pen for being a solid shot, and reloads very quickly. so if you just angle with it youre basically an invulnerable moving bunker with a loader that can give modern autoloaders a run for thier money, and a below average but very much usable round
1:52 ah Kino-the last hero ❤ also british tanks are almost always brilliant apart from a few stinkers they are very well rounded and the guns at mid tier are just *chef’s kiss* low tier is a slow grind until the churchill NA75 and sherman II (they saved my sanity) i am looking forward to getting the chieftains and challengers
as a british main, i totally agree, british tanks are good, solid shot has never been a problem, but since the apds changes i have not been able to have a good time with them, hesh also doesnt seem to do much
I'm 100% with you on the Britain thing though , Britain especially at 4.3-5.7 if you know where to aim is LETHAL if you don't care about having mixed br lineups , I have about 400+ kills in the comet 1 and is my most played most kills vehicle in the entire game , people really sleep on Britain Icl!!
complain about the r3 being 6.0, its not the crazy td it was when it was first added, its still a solid cap point rusher and can take on m18s and light stuff. its also a good spaa
Seeing people whine about the cv9030 FIN is while I regularly get 2-3 kills at least with it is crazy. I run the defyn "skill issue" decal on it for that exact reason
Another tank that people like to hate on ist the Strv 74. It is technically a "light tank" but you really should be playing it more like a medium tank. It also has a nuke APHE round and a high penning APDS. I absolutely love this tank and i even got a nuke with only the APHE round in a 6.7 uptier. And i wouldn't say i'm that good of a player.
One of the many many reasons people consider abrams and prob Kpz is this dumb thing no one talks about where people come up to a russian MBT like a T72, and instead of shooting its driver port or breach they shoot JUST the track then complain that the ERA stopped their shell and that its insanely OP. If I get glitched by the game and forced into bringing my 5.7 lineup with my Strv 74 and DT and managed to kill not one but TWO T80s (one with each) frontally, thats not an issue with abrams or kpz's guns.
You notice how he didn't refer to a single french tank that's known for being horribly uptiered for what it is... (or basically every single french tank up until the Leclercs)
Honestly the I think the reason people hate the Kpz-70 is because half of the people that play it just use the rockets instead of the apfsds cause they just look at the stats of the dart and they think they won't do shit with it. Honestly, even if you had the leo 1A's penetration, most of the time you would still shoot at the same weakspots. I personally never had any consistency issues with that round either. You just need to be more careful with your aiming and for that you get better speed, reload, a coax and a suspension compared to the leo1A
Britain slaps so hard if you know how to aim. and even then stabilized tanks as low as 6.7 with centurion mk.2 (I miss fv4202 at 7.0) is insanely strong. Also Aubl HVG is so ratty I love it even when they pushed it to 8.0.

bro finally remembered his TH-cam password lol
Saw nim commented on someone video a few days ago so maybe hes just bored
as a British main I can confirm that Britain is highly underrated apart from the vickers mk3
*Vickers Mk pee
Same here. The G6, Vickers MK1 and Fox are all fun
Bro the vickers mk3 is the only good british tank what, it gets a laser rangefinder with HEATFS and APDS and a stabilizer at a BR way lower than other tanks do
10.3 Britain is an absolute juggernaut
@@BrezhnevStan actually the japanese get apds heatfs and lrfs at the exact same br, 8.3 is roughly the br things start to get lrfs
nah you're right. the aml90 is actually pretty good. this bad boy got me so many nukes, it has earned his stripes.
AML/Eland can also bitchslap heavies around something the Fox can't do (atleast consistenly) at the cost of being alot more vulnerable to hmg
Like imagine a Wiesel but with a gun that can pen anything at its br. Like thats Not a Rat thats the Rat King
@@SpindlerMatthias It's a lot clunkier than a Wiesel and can't handle light targets nearly as well. It's not a bad tank but it's nothing stellar either, just average.
The Rat King is the Fox.

As bad as gajin's balancing is sometimes I'm just glad the community doesn't have control over it. Balancing would be out the window completely immediately
Kv-1e and b would be at 4.3 or 4.7 where they belong though.
As restarted as gaijin are, the community is a thousand times worse
@@kyle_mk17 The community would make about 1 good change per 10 bad ones
Kpz-70 my beloved. It was one of my only tanks that I gave a talisman to. The fact it has full control hydraulics too makes it goofy.
MUSTARD SAYS HES BACK
THANK GOD
blåhaj
tbh some of these i knew peopele disliked but the kpz 70 is one of my fav vehicles its amazing
Chieftain mk10 is one of the best 9.0 tanks yet everyone overlooks it
The problem with it is that it might as well be a 10.0 tank because 9.0 only gets uptiers
@@Jerry0880 not really because alot of people play 8.7/8.3 I dont agree with ur statement but even if it gets a uptier it can easily hold its ground cause of the insane turret armour

Yeah the kpz 70 is kinda busted, 1500hp, 20mm coax, 6 second reload makes it a menace against anything, just gotta aim.
Britain is immensely fun
as someone who plays every nation, britain has my highest (non premium) br lineup
once you get to the fireflies, it snowballs very hard into being fun
The Rooikats are unironically my favorite vehicles in the game.
But then again, I haven't experienced the Type 93s or the Italian Centauros.
People who think British tanks are bad can’t aim, they’re exactly stellar but solid shot isn’t as bad as people wants to believe it to be

watched this video while playing british 4.7
the trade of a 17 pounder for reverse speed is worth it imho

Also it was a “pleasure” playing against you, my Sherman Jumbo loved being ran through be your KV-220

Bro is back with the milk
The Kpz-70 is one of the best 9.3 tank lol
You're not insane :3
as a british main, i totally agree, british tanks are good, solid shot has never been a problem, but since the apds changes i have not been able to have a good time with them, hesh also doesnt seem to do much
How about the Type 60?
oh this is the guy that took a hiateous got it right

0:01 who is this guy?????
Cannot forget the brenus, yes no stab but deal with it everything else is good btw it did have a stab with extra steps
the rooikat ls been buffed a bit it aint bad now just frustrating at times but that goes for all high tier lights
Oh my gawd bro took his dementia pills

Dw I also am insane, and the another one, the Italian tech tree clears
This video is facts
Up until this point I have never seen anyone complaining that the roicat is bad
