Play the T-10

day 40 of asking you to play the chi ha navy short gun

Someone needs money

Could you play the m901?

editing in this video 12/10 this time dayum

As a brit who only plays the SAF vics in the british tree, i 100% agree

As a brit and a british main, i agree

Basically just 15 to 20 minutes complaining about British tanks

They made the L7, they just forgot about the rest of the tank.

Britain make British food,asked to leave existence

Poor Britain

hey spookston play the gaz dshk and recreate technicals at top tier

Man of principle🔥

Memes on point today

Now go play the Type 60 ATM and make yourself regret every single bit of your choice of words in this video's title...

It would be ccol if they added some kind of sighting drone or robot that did that job and acts as a missile sight for the swingfire.

@@InsufficientGravitas I have a feeling this could make the Swingfire horribly overpowered. Also I doubt they would even consider this idea unless there's a Russian vehicle they can implement it in first.

​@@DarkButzthat or make it its own vehicle and be top teir (the only difference is the sight shenanigans, missile stays the same).

​@@DarkButzI found the german main

The swingfire is a verhicle I like a lot because it's the type that does one thing, but does that one thing *really* well. It can sit behind literally any hill and engage enemies between ~100m and 4km, and does so very effectively. The independently loaded tubes is an incredibly nice feature, and the sight being so far up as well as the ammo pool being quite big is very convenient and user friendly. If you haven't read up on the Swingfire missile IRL you absoluytely should, it's even more insane than in the game in rea llife with almost 90 degree turns right after launch due to how incredibly manouverable it was. If it had its true capabilities in-game it could engage things right up in front of you quite quickly too instead of firing in the super large arch like every other regular missile type.

@@ZETH_27 Verhicle

imo all the british atgm spgs were still better before the missile update. idk why does gaijin have the need to constantly change missile physics

@@teaser6089 Sorry! I meant Vehericel

@@thamemeez5702 Every ATGM in the whole game became worse because of the update, however I feel like the Swingfire was affected the least because it is a one-of-a-kind missile that actually has the comical level of manouverability that all ATGMs used to have before the nerf.

Imagine being able to point your sight at a spot on the ground or in a building(!) to have your gunner takes 20-50 seconds to deploy to that location -- and then you can just shoot from there. Vehicle hiding behind a cliff or as building,m shooting at targets at right angles to it and 4km away, because f**k you, that's why. _That_ is the FV438 Swingfire and the Striker in a nutshell.

But its not Russian so it can't have its full capabilities

@@DavidBennell Blaming Russian Bias because you can't dismount your tank crew and play as infantry to sight for your ATGM is a Big Bozo Move.

@@whatdothlife4660 if you look at phlydailys old video from like 3 years ago or something on BAE Swingfires, they are much more realistic being able to fire them round corners and over hills in third person. now war thunder forces you to have line of sight. but at least the SWINGFIRES actually SWING now i suppose

Too bad you can’t in game

Im thecopposite. West side south soawn lets you snipe almost into their spawn. From your spawn. Safely. Its pretty busted.

dam i'm the exact opposite, 6k hours here and I always exclusively use the lesser-treadded parts of the map to flank. Also abandoned factory A used to be flag C so it's confusing

Wait but he played on that side of the map before, in the twin barrel anti-air (can’t remember if it’s the Chinese one or the ASU). I think it was in a video with Oddbawls

I can't say for sure but I am fairly sure the swingfire did get a new flight model, just one appropriate for the missile. I have no evidence of this it just seems way easier to controle than before. And their new lesser dead zone seems to be a result of this change.

it cant leave the launcher and pull a hard 90 like it could irl

@@axeavier It can least pull a hard 80 degrees. Its definitely way better to control than before.

no its because the swingfire has thrust vectoring and is just in general a much more agile missile than most another ATGM's of the same era

Swingfire on release had the missile follow the middle of the sight regardless of where the crosshair was... meaning it was not effected by depression. That was changed two years ago. It did however benefit from the improved overpressure system, being the actual warhead is a HEAT/HESH Hybrid. The recent patch has done nothing to the Swingfire other than introduce a visible cable, the other ATGMS were simply given realistic effects (the missile loses altitude just before the engine ignites), Making them less OP. But the Swingfire was not effected because it's very design was to overcome these problems in real life (It shoots upwards to negate any drop of the missile and to make it easier to hit the top of a tank). Swingfire missile was released in the early 60's and was not replaced until the 00's by Javelin, Even the later Striker is older than the M901 ITV. Since it was released, i have always had a Swingfire in my lineup, even at top tier. I do however take the striker as well since that was released. It's extremely satisfying taking out T-90's with a 60 year old missile. Just need to find cover and be slightly elevated, aim for the top of the enemy tank and no armour stops it.

Well, they said they updated missiles flight model to be more realistic, so it makes sense an ATGM that can make a 90 degree pivot out of the launch tub would be more maneuverable than others (as some one else noted they use thrust vectoring.) Personally I find it funny that when they made that change basically all ATGMs got way harder to control except the swingfire, which actually got a lot better (you can now hit targets within 50m where as before it was more like a 150m to 200m minimum) almost like Gaijin just admitted they were giving British ATMGs worse flight models just because. I can't really say anything about the damage, from my experience it is still all over the place.

@@commandoepsilon4664 If you look at the history of the Swingfire... you actually start to really appreciate it. Swingfire was way ahead of it's time. The sighting mechanism can actually be detached from the vehicle and used by infantry on foot. Allowing the vehicle to fire whilst 0 parts are exposed. It was also the inspiration behind the Javelin. From the start of the TOW missiles life, America insisted that Britain ditched the Swingfire and purchase TOW missiles stating that the lighter and smaller TOW was better. TOW was infact inferior to Swingfire in absolutely everyway and as the TOW evolved, it just copied the Swingfire, eventually becoming just as big as the Swingfire completely negating Americas points. TOW always required a line of sight from the launcher, whilst the Swingfire never did (It could be manually controlled or controlled via an detached/Attached optical device). This bothered America so much that they said they would restrict access to other products... UK still said no and then partnered with Sweden, Germany and Italy on various projects. This forced USA to make the Javelin... and only then did UK say ok. After Javelin was designed, TOW was upgraded to Radio-Controlled rather than guide by wire, in a attempt to keep TOW relevant on the battlefield.

it can still do that, just change the rangefinder, to be on the target, i did it like 1 month ago

There isn't that many tanks with active protection systems or IRCM on 8.3 to 9.0 so it isn't that much of a concern

@@heliogonzalezsanchez8227 There aren't many, but when you're a tank destroyer, it does sounds silly when some tanks you can meet can just ignore you entirely. Shoutout to getting uptiered in the MEPHISTO and facing a PUMA. Ultimately the slower speed of ATGM does mean that ultimately unless you are pretty passive, someone shooting back at you can usually get away with it scot free or evade your missile if you're hulldown.

@@Martin-ot6kwthey moved the puma up (finally) to 9.7. as soon as it gets spikes i think it should be at 10.7 or 11.0 though

How does this work? I am a bit lost on what he means by using sight distance control

​@@xmasterchini6the range on the crosshairs if you increase that it elevates guns and launcher.

Vickers vfm:

Dingo, Saladin, Ferret, Fox armoured cars

He pronounces it weird lol. Like Cuh-nar-vun instead of cair-ner-von

​@@jspenethat's how it's pronounced though?

Yep. The swingfire's incredible agility comes from thrust vectoring. I'm very glad they buffed it, because I've been complaining about it's atrocious minimum range for a while.

Is it only good when Aced? I keep getting uptiered and it just doesn't compare to a lot of other heavies of the same BR

@@thelonecookie3592 not really a huge difference, I just play it as a sniper and when someone tries to shoot me I wiggle my mantlet since that is a weak spot, but the turret cheeks are basically invincible. Just make sure you get the add on armor ASAP, it makes heat rounds much harder to kill you. In fact, I don’t recall a time I’ve ever been one hit by another tank in it, it is very survivable. But make sure you don’t expose your hull too much since it isn’t super strong and the sides aren’t great either. It is great at peek-a-boo sniping since it is fully stabilized

@@thelonecookie3592I just unlocked it, excited to try out what everyone talks so highly of… it sucks lol. More shells shattered than the 105mm or 84mm. Slow reload. Slow movement. Gets one-shot from pretty much any Russian vehicle at that BR. I can go 4-6 kills and no deaths in the Vickers Mk1, but I rarely get a single kill in the conquerer. Hoping it gets better as I spade it

@@DominicDarrell I had the exact same experience when I first got it, I just learned to use it more like a sniper than a heavy tank since it isn’t good as the latter. The 20 second reload hurts but is manageable as long as you k of where ammo is on the tanks you kill. Generally ammo is either to the side of the driver or on the floor of the hull below the turret. You can also try using HESH but that’s only really good against light vehicles

@@DominicDarrell This is a skill issue, its not an amazing tank, but it can be played very effectively, last match I got 9 kills 0 deaths in the Conqueror, plenty of bounces. If you know anything about the vehicles design and history you would know how to deploy it and it is effective when deployed correctly. OddBawz played it lately and he likes it quite a lot, Phly played it, got plenty of kills but said it is mid and I dont disagree, fact is though that you can definitely rack up kills and also bounce shots so long as you are in a good position and facing targets that you are comfortable facing. The Conqueror is one of the most HEAT resistant Heavy Tanks in the game with its spaced armor and very thick strongpoints, HEAT is forced to target crew one by one and/or get lost in the overlapping breach area. The APDS should be doing more damage than it is, the Chieftains round which is slightly heavier and also slower seems to have a much girthier damage profile which the Conqueror should be getting too with its more brittle sabot material, resulting in post penetration shattering which really should be deadly to crew inside a vehicle.

I still agree.

It still does doesn't it? Unless it's been removed in the past couple weeks, I had a game where I just shat about 40 missiles at an object 268 while sat on the cap

Swingfire is a great atgm though
