Considering that T-34s, Panzer IVs, and M4s served well beyond WWII in other countries during the Cold War, I bet there’s gotta be a few instances of them being hit by ATGMs. There’s also an instance where a T-34 memorial was used as a decoy in Ukraine

It seems to me that the fault of modern tanks is that they underestimated the danger of old tanks at the beginning of the round. They realized their situation too late, when they could do nothing, and were surrounded. The last T-90 played well, fighting to the last, but he was left alone, and there were too many opponents.

Can't believe that you are still coming up with interesting scenarios! Well done Mr Muffin!

Am I the only one who uses anti tank missiles against air craft?

this really does highlight how good the WWII puma is if used correctly i use it all the time and im almost at Tier 4 not to mention the artillery/spotting ability with a full crew

Suggestion: Best WW2 vehicles vs worst post WW2 vehicles This could maybe be done with 5 or 10 different vehicles on each side.

Nice work Muffin! I love these new and creative ideas! (Maybe you could do something with the biggest planes vs the smallest planes?)

The answer to your question is surprisingly yes! There's a video of a t-34 being used as a gun emplacement in Yemen getting struck by an ATGM, I found a copy here on KZfaq; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z52qgbJetcrZhqs.html (Also great video!)

This unbelievably fun, thanks again muffin❤

The reason the aim looks so shaky when you have replays is because it's footage recorded from the server, and the server doesn't compensate for the lag that people have when demos are recorded

WWII tanks and ATGMs have some equal level of visions... during the day that is. When night falls, ATGMs become nocturnal beasts and their maximum potential is formed like how Escanor is at full power when it is noon and depowered during nighttime.

that truly was fun

The war that most likely that ATGMs would have gone against WW2 era tanks is the Yom Kippur War in 1972. Also I guess the civil war in Yemen there was a case of an ATGM destroyed a T-34-85.

Hi Muffin. I participated in this challenge rounds 2 going on, and I have to admit I kinda cheated because I was told the M41A1 Walker Bulldog was allowed, and it has NVD, so I could see during the night battles :/

I’m so close to getting the American squad tank with the missiles lol

@Thunder Muffin, the only battle that comes to mind that closest resembles atgms vs. ww2 tanks would be yom kipper war. When Egypt used 1st gen atgms against Israel, who had m51 shermans, m48 pattons, and centurions. Although i dont know if any M51s were actually engaged by atgms.

Would have loved to bring my Cromwell RP3, just for some sweet sweet karma points.

Do Abrams against prop planes

Maybe the fastest vs the slowest plane? I think this would be PO-2 vs F-104.

16:45 truly sad I didn't pay attention and got that shot on me still I guess it was quite hard to miss anyway xD

i still remember colonel cookies from the heli vs drones video and tbh he plays it tactical and carefully really good

A hint to deal with missiles,bind a convenient key to the option to switch gunner ain to your Top mounted machinegun in order to shoot missiles down much more reliably

Yeah I was sweating during the 2nd round, I couldn't win it by I tried the best as I could : ) btw in round 3 did we only saw my POV ? 😆

I think maybe in some of the early Arab Israeli wars, many Israeli upgraded Shermans/Pattons were hit by early atgms when advancing in areas where they weren't aware of the dangers posed by man portable atgms. I think this was in the early 60s but I can't remember

There are still T34s being used, in combat by Houthi rebels in Yemen, even videos on youtube. Also, M36s were still in use in countries until recently. Chaffees are still in use by a few countries, some M8 and M5s are still used in upgraded variants.

6:14 bro guided the missile from the grave

jolly good show

two weeks ago when I was playing China 8.7 I came across a full downtier, moments after I entered the position in my AFT I saw a maus rolling down the road, and fluently slammed a 1200mm pen tandem-HEAT ATGM on his UFP and promptly sending him back to the hanger

May God bless whoever is reading this comment 🙌

Israel did have MIM-23 HAWK surface-to-air missiles in the six day war so maybe they had ATGMs too idk? The Arab countries did use WW2 tanks in the war too

great video man, you are so creative and you're such a good narrator. even improving as a narrator.

Shocked no one is using the ADATS and bmp2m in round 1

Can you do a B17 Formation Vs Me 109‘a and 262’s? Or Royal Navy vs Kriegsmarine?

One atgm carrier they have done dirty is the swing fire the swingfire atgm is insane being able to do 90° turns in thr air

You should stick with only ATGM carriers, it is not even fair that a T90 or a T80 is in the field. Make it so that the WW2 tanks can kill the ATGM carrier no matter what range.

There is place called the Middle East, and also by extension parts of Africa. If a small island nation can keep cars running for 80+ years then the ATGM thing I’d bet a beer.

bringing t80 and mbt70 is just criminal

I don't think the ATGM's will win, could very well be wrong but like.. the ATGM's take quite long to arrive, and can be quite squishy. In the meanwhile normal WW2 tanks can still just engage at long range for a lot of the ATGM carriers. And for the more tanky ones all they need to do is come up to a closer range by flanking. Not to mention the ATGM's very long reload.. I don't like their odds.

I recall during the conflict in Syria a few ago pictures of a few WW2 era tanks in use popped up, notably pictures of a destroyed Soviet tank destroyer taken out by a missle. There were debates on K board on 4chan of what kind of tank it was and how many were in use. Apparently after WW2 Syria ended up with outdated from Soviet and German origins, some of which may have just sat in warehouses after being retired only to be reactivated in the civil war, other examples include pictures of German Stg-44s rifles in use and I think there was also a single late generation Panzer IV that showed up in some images dug in as a fixed defense.

Gaijin needs to work on there replay system

I feel like round 2 was super winnable for the ATGM side, they just didn't use their advantages very well.

Yeah in cyprus 1974 i think,some cypriot t34s where hit by turkish rpgs

Awesome 😎 hope I can join some time

There can use the engine smoke and lock with thermals throug it so only making the enemy bliend.

I think a good challenge would be tanks using only their main cannons, no machine guns, guided missiles, or AA, to take out bombers.

I'm imagening that i have heard that panzer 4s where used in the 6 days war between israel and aegypt, etc. That would work from the timeline but i haven't seen any records of it happening.

18:51 well, if you count T-54 (1947) a WWII vehicle, then I'd say soon there very much might be such an instance...

Panthers don’t have much wobble so not too worried about fast aiming on it

muffin could you do a challenge (kv-85 versus 1 maus 5, 10, 15 kv-85 1, 2, 3, maus so every 5 kv-85 there is one more maus added I hope you can consider this (I know that you did 1945 ussr versus maus I’m kinda just switching it up a bit) or maybe 60 l3/33 ccs versus 5 kv-85s?

Im pretty sure that israel actually used a panzer IV 70 till the 1990’s Or Well they had it written as a reserve and it was retired around that time

9:01 the fucking l3/33 surrounded by the tigers II and maus.

Idea for a new video, maybe do American or British VTOL’s, against Russia’s new VTOL. A 5v5 or how ever many to see which country has the better VTOL.

Muffin: war thunders replay system kinda sucks When does it not? 😅😂

I’ve heard that an SU 100 got knocked out by an atgm. I forget where though

Oh yes the famous ww2 t95

You do ww2 heavy tanks vs modern light tanks

God the second round i spent most the time trying to get a Maus and another tank seperated xD

This is just 6.7 the custom game

What about Helicopters with bombs vs heavy tanks/Maus 🤔

13:13 Not really. ATGMs typically need large projectile diameters to be effective these days. Gun fired ATGMs are simply not large enough to penetrate the frontal armor of a modern MBT. Gun fired missiles top out a 900mm of penetration and modern MBTs typically have over 1000mm of RHAe for HEAT on their frontal armor. I think gun fired missiles are most useful as a way of dealing with armored targets out of range if the main gun, especially to deal with IFVs or ATGM carriers that can outrange conventional rounds fired from the main gun.

Day 12 : OTOMATIC vs WII planes

High tier players situational awareness in a nutshell...

lol, if you disregard the atgm vs ww2 part, thats basically how the soviet win ww2

Title WW2 tanks, thumbnail; flak half-track

Also the panther 2 does have night vision and I really thing gaijin should add night vision to the normal panther a or g, also Israel had used Sherman’s all the way into to 70s so there is the possibility some may have been hit by an atgm

Could there be SPAA VS SPAA as one?

bigy cheese

If I had time to do this event I would have tried to use the bmp2m or raketenjagd hot if it was allowed.

6.7 in nutshell😊

i was the maus cant belive i got stuck inside of a tiger too

Idk why didn’t the ww2 tank team just spam a bunch of smoke shells lmao

How's about AA missiles only against WW2 tanks?

Some of the teams in these videos look no better than npcs

If all of them were 15cm tanks or kv-2s or strum tigers they'll rekt the atgms

you will have to redo this now the atgms have been changed

What happened to anti tank missiles only?

tldw, puma scary

How to sign up on these war thunder events

Im the m53/59 that got killed at 2:10 and I left instantly lol

the Taliban and others used the isu152 so probably

Sheridan is always be safe of ATGM

Lol aimer wouldn't it count as a reticle though?

early ww2 tanks: t34-85?

Funny thing, the asu 57 has nightvision😂

I cried when that L3 died 🫡

Average gameplay in the Tiger II H:

ATGM (in the thumbnail) actually stands for air to ground missile...

🥶

Katusha vs bm 31 12

Imagine using ATGMs now they are so useless

3:10 that was way over 1000 meters not 400

In Iraq that was a Sherman that got hit by an atgm

you want to see ww2 tanks getting hit by atgms? ukraine war is pretty close to it. tanks from just a few years after ww2 against javelins

The Centurion is consider WW2 ish?

Does anyone know how the replay in warthunder works for ps4?

Ham

China vs japan

How about the modern tanks fight ww2 tanks with thermals turned off.

Bungus?

L3 😭😭😭
