I would prefer if Gaijin changed up the balancing and made the light tanks' roles more pronounced. Since as of the moment, gaijin balances them as if they're all supposed to be duking it out frontally with medium and heavy tanks, putting cold war lts into ww2 br ranges along with their insane penetration. It would be nice to have light tanks have much less penetration in exchange for speed, maneuverability, and scouting abilities, since that's their purpose. Like the M24 and Puma could be brought to 5.0, The M22 and T-70 to 3.0, M41A1 and PT-76 to 7.3, etc. It just removes the roles of medium and heavy tanks if you have a more versatile and agile vehicle with the same/better gun.
IS-3 should not have gone down. You don't need a maxlevel crew + Ace spaded one to understand that. Great job Gaijin, making the game better every time you touch it. Also see the premium T28 being 6.3 while the T95 is at 7.0 with an outrageous repair cost.
I wish there was a RB mode for era specific. Cap’d by a date range regardless of BR. Also wish the game matching would also balance with numbers and not just BR. To a degree. No 15 vs 1 foolery.
just like stop at ww2 and make seperate br for everything later. I'd say you can go modern with a ww2 tank but not the other way round. But then we have to do something about maus and Jagdtiger.., maybe just playable every 5 rounds or so
What? No. Early Cold War NATO has a bunch of tanks with weak armor because they hadn't quite figured out reactive armor and composite and thought mobility was more important. If you use flank and/or surprise, many older tanks can do well. I'm doing alright with the BT-5, BT-7, and KV-85 in uptiers into the early Cold War.
Brilliant, I have never played war thunder but I watch all your videos, this one I have had to save to my favourites due to "both my tracks are gone, wanting to buy tracks" just cracks me up everytime I watch it, i even had tears. Thank you so much.
Sometimes I play Warthunder myself too. But how on Earth can you see those tanks in the distance? I usually play WoT, so I don't really understand the mechanics of this game
So to balance heavy tanks they're not given artillery, they have super slow reload and they have a longer rep time. Seems like that needs removing since they face things that make their armor obsolete and get all the benefits of a medium tank. Then again. This is the company that added a Scout function to make vehicles with sub par guns and armor more useful, then proceeded to load the BR of a load of the scouts so that their guns where super effective, and mess up hull break anyway.
track hit by arty = may as well be made of paper clips track hit by 120mm tank shell moving at apprx 1km / sec = may as well be 500mm of armor track link as additional armor = may as well be sheet of paper. dont get me started on sprockets/wheels being totally inconsistent as well
I hope all goes well with your friends mom and she gets through this I just lost my mother to cancer a week today but hers wasn't caught in time the medical treatment has come a long way I pray for many more years for your mom
The most painful part of that ostwind getting that kill for me personally is that I shot an is3 with a T95E1 6 times earlier and only got the kill because he didn't have fpe yet. Lol.
even in the UK we wouldn't get that kind of treatment for free on the NHS. It's an incredibly expensive procedure when u take training and equipment into account and the money has to come from somewhere
As an ex Canadian, fuck government health care. Prices should have come down with transparency and free competition, but Beijing Biden put an end to that.
Try the PT-76B it has a stabilizer that works at full speed so no need to slow down and it has HEATFS at 5.3, but it isnt too fast only 44 Km/h (i think). And the armor isnt much (can be penned by 50. cals), but i find it fun having a full stabilizer and HEATFS at 5.3 Attempt #2
Imagine if they made type of battles based on year tanks fought in, so like early 1944 battles... and every tank could fight based on when it fought, Germans costing more to respawn. The point is, during especially some times, heavy tanks would not have to suffer anymore. Well, at least the German ones, especially maus lol.
I don't understand how tracks can eat direct hits from all sorts of shells or all sorts of caliber, but a couple pieces of shrapnel from an arty blast 25 yards away will completely disintegrate them

@Phlydaily The Ostwind does have 100% chance of penetration if you aim right under the barrel. Because the shell isn't bouncing into the 30mm Driver hatch but the 20mm hull roof. You even said at the beginning to aim at the big muzzle brake, guess what, aiming there also means shots that deviate low will bounce right down into the hull roof on top of the drivers' head if the gun was pointed straight ahead and generally keeps everyone else alive. But in that situation, your gun wasn't pointed straight ahead but off to the left, which means the round bounced into the propellant storage next to him. You were also doing the protection analysis from a range of 500m, while the shot that killed you was more like from 10-20 meters.
I played the Leo yesterday, I killed 4 IS-3 and 2 T10-A in almost every single match. I would always go with the Leopard 1. TBH the new BR chance is very odd, why put the Leo down to 7.3, it worked just fine at 7.7.

I wish there was a RB mode for era specific. Cap’d by a date range regardless of BR. Also wish the game matching would also balance with numbers and not just BR. To a degree. No 15 vs 1 foolery.
just like stop at ww2 and make seperate br for everything later. I'd say you can go modern with a ww2 tank but not the other way round. But then we have to do something about maus and Jagdtiger.., maybe just playable every 5 rounds or so
What? No. Early Cold War NATO has a bunch of tanks with weak armor because they hadn't quite figured out reactive armor and composite and thought mobility was more important.
If you use flank and/or surprise, many older tanks can do well. I'm doing alright with the BT-5, BT-7, and KV-85 in uptiers into the early Cold War.

Last time I was this early Phly was still hyped about submarines.
Wait I completely forgot about submarines lol. Whatever happened to them?
Phly, play America without playing America
Using American lend lease vehicles in a lineup from any nation you choose
Attempt #3
I’m pretty sure Russian tank designers just said “Lots of armor, ok gun, extremely good reverse speed, and horrible gun depression”
dont need gun depression in the steppes of russia :)
Day 87: Phly, you should play the he 112 A-0 (in ground rb), it’s the A-10 of 1.3. Also keep up the great content👍
Brilliant, I have never played war thunder but I watch all your videos, this one I have had to save to my favourites due to "both my tracks are gone, wanting to buy tracks" just cracks me up everytime I watch it, i even had tears. Thank you so much.
I voted Phlybois, it's only natural because of Phlydaddy
Phly: HEAVY TANKS ARE DEAD
Also Phly: Performs better than anyone on his team and gets more kills than I do in any tank :c
Day 15: Please play the SM.91 in air RB, and ground RB.
23:00 is the best Cinematic scenario I’ve ever seeen ⚔️⚔️🎺🎺
Crew: enemy Artillery incoming
Me: No big deal
Artillery: hits track
Crew: it's our tracks we can't move
Me:😶
unless your a ZiS-30
Sometimes I play Warthunder myself too. But how on Earth can you see those tanks in the distance? I usually play WoT, so I don't really understand the mechanics of this game
That dude with the breast cancer awareness tattoo... What a chad. Godbless
man I love the old intro man makes me reminisce about the older days of your channel
Day 20: It's been five years since the last episode.
*Bring back Top 5 Epic Plays*
So to balance heavy tanks they're not given artillery, they have super slow reload and they have a longer rep time. Seems like that needs removing since they face things that make their armor obsolete and get all the benefits of a medium tank.
Then again. This is the company that added a Scout function to make vehicles with sub par guns and armor more useful, then proceeded to load the BR of a load of the scouts so that their guns where super effective, and mess up hull break anyway.
Day 48: play HMS invincible to experience the things that make me depressed
phly: Makes video about is-3
T-34: *GLORY GLORY WHAT A HELL OF A WAY TO DIE*
Day 45: Phly, what about T92? Last time you played it, was 4 years ago.
Get this man his T92!
12 km per hour
@@RealNeoDoge You're thinking of the T95, the T92 is a light tank.
track hit by arty = may as well be made of paper clips
track hit by 120mm tank shell moving at apprx 1km / sec = may as well be 500mm of armor
track link as additional armor = may as well be sheet of paper.
dont get me started on sprockets/wheels being totally inconsistent as well
"Heavy tanks are dead!"

I hope all goes well with your friends mom and she gets through this I just lost my mother to cancer a week today but hers wasn't caught in time the medical treatment has come a long way I pray for many more years for your mom
"Speedadle Speedoodle, your transmission is now a noodle"
The most painful part of that ostwind getting that kill for me personally is that I shot an is3 with a T95E1 6 times earlier and only got the kill because he didn't have fpe yet. Lol.
It's so crazy that this is how we have to get people medical care in the us
even in the UK we wouldn't get that kind of treatment for free on the NHS. It's an incredibly expensive procedure when u take training and equipment into account and the money has to come from somewhere
As an ex Canadian, fuck government health care. Prices should have come down with transparency and free competition, but Beijing Biden put an end to that.
@@ThisWillCharacter depends, if it's considered life threatening or at risk of becoming life threatening you're covered

I just got my baby tigor yesterday 🐅🐯
Dear Plhy, I stopped my studies just to come here and pray, for a gameplay with the T 14, please. May the bias be with you.
the is-3 is basically the worst enemy for any tank that can only shoot conventional rounds
Isn't the is3 one of the most cool looking tanks after the tiger.
Try the PT-76B it has a stabilizer that works at full speed so no need to slow down and it has HEATFS at 5.3, but it isnt too fast only 44 Km/h (i think). And the armor isnt much (can be penned by 50. cals), but i find it fun having a full stabilizer and HEATFS at 5.3
Attempt #2
Imagine if they made type of battles based on year tanks fought in, so like early 1944 battles... and every tank could fight based on when it fought, Germans costing more to respawn. The point is, during especially some times, heavy tanks would not have to suffer anymore. Well, at least the German ones, especially maus lol.
I don't understand how tracks can eat direct hits from all sorts of shells or all sorts of caliber, but a couple pieces of shrapnel from an arty blast 25 yards away will completely disintegrate them
Day 30: Phly it’s time to bring out the family! Giving you some early practice.
Tiger H1 (Dad), Tiger E (Mom(because let’s face it moms are superior)) and the Pz.Sfl.Ic (baby).
It’s protect the baby time! Benny can role play as mom and Odd as the little one.
Curiously, improved ammunition, was actually the downfall of the heavy tank, and the upgrade of the heavy armored medium tank to the Main Battle Tank.
Yeah. They just had to wait a little while until multilayered armor and reactive armor came around.
Day spaghetti: Just wanted to say hi. Hope everyone has a phun and great day!
You still cannot deny the sound of IS-3 cannon shooting and blowing up enemy tank is simply satisfying
Day 59: play the Arado and commit some war crimes
Also Happy Valentines!
It's happy Bismarck launch day
low tier heavy tanks are good, the pain starts when all the recoilless rocket cars and heatfs ammo appears

@Phlydaily The Ostwind does have 100% chance of penetration if you aim right under the barrel. Because the shell isn't bouncing into the 30mm Driver hatch but the 20mm hull roof.
You even said at the beginning to aim at the big muzzle brake, guess what, aiming there also means shots that deviate low will bounce right down into the hull roof on top of the drivers' head if the gun was pointed straight ahead and generally keeps everyone else alive. But in that situation, your gun wasn't pointed straight ahead but off to the left, which means the round bounced into the propellant storage next to him.
You were also doing the protection analysis from a range of 500m, while the shot that killed you was more like from 10-20 meters.
I played the Leo yesterday, I killed 4 IS-3 and 2 T10-A in almost every single match. I would always go with the Leopard 1.
TBH the new BR chance is very odd, why put the Leo down to 7.3, it worked just fine at 7.7.

Hey Phly, over in Britain we have just lost Captain Sir Tom Moore after contracting coronavirus and pneumonia. The man was a hero in many ways and although I believe he served in Churchill tanks, Bovington Tank Museum have a picture of him on a Valentine. To honour the man himself I request you take out the Valentine and give gerry hell!
