LATE NIGHT PHLY

"I don't know how he... spotted me either", said the giant landship with a fire cracker shooting up from the top of the turret.

Phly: “only 3 crew members left, not bad” Me thinking of the slaughter inside the tank from the 9 dead crew: 😦

Things like this are way cooler and more fun than all the top tier stuff imo Cheers for the like phlopy babes luv ya 😘

We need more funky interwar stuff like this. Most of the flavour of this game is found in downtier, but yet it's not capitalized on enough - Play a vehicle for a few games until all components are researched, and then move on because you can't get RP for higher tier vehicles or complete daily challenges.

The Char 2C Bis shares the exact same hull specifications with the regular Char 2C, the new turret and 155mm gun are what distinguish it Only one tank was converted to this type, eventually converted back later on as it was deemed not needed However a 2nd variant was created by the Lorraine company by giving the 2C a new stronger engine and uprating the frontal armor to 90mm's And the side thicker as well but I dont remember that number.

The displacement is about 34 litres on the late model

Phly: "These are the heaviest" M1A5 Abrams SEP v107.4: "Hold my beer, because I can't move when I'm holding it"

This tank is absolutley rediculous AND I LOVE IT, the 12 crew members makes this thibg more survivable than a MBT when you take it to top teir, because good luck trying to kill everyone in one shot lmao.

Fun fact, radiator does increased the crew skills and if it damage it'll decreasing the crew skills too if you don't repair it.

Best addition to ground in ages

The Char 2C produces 500 hp with 34 litres of displacement. To put that into context, a Kawasaki H2R produces 310 hp with 1 litre of displacement - if a H2R engine was 34 litres but scaled power linearly, it would make 10,540 hp.

since you mentioned the Ho-I, its something you should play as it is very much an underdog of a medium, and alot better than people give it credit for

The engines for the Char were replaced a couple of times, until they settled for 2 Maybach 16950 cc engines which made 180 kW of power each.

Still hoping for you to come out with a Baby Tigor Bobblehead. I am going to attach it to the top of my truck. Just picture how awesome to see Baby Tigor rolling down the Highway!

The Char 2C had a 19L / 1,159 Cubic Inch V12 so I can't see this having smaller engines being 2x Sautter-Harlé engines 6-cyl 250hp/each. In a bit of Irony the first engines in 2C were German Maybach engines from Zeppelin's given to France as part of war reparation for WW1

The Char 2C in the trailer is not the up armored 90mm front one, that one has a different engine deck (since it has aditional protection from aircraft)

8:25 After tanking some shots, the man was literally driving an orange🍊 😂😂😂

Couldn’t find a exact size but the engines were the same ones used in airships at the time so it’s probably around a 8 to 12 liter

You need to play with Oddbawz more. You guys always make fun content.

“If you think we’re OP, look at this Ho”-PhlyDaily (2022)

Your videos just make the day better. Family friendly, for the most part..😉 and downright hilarious. Keep it up phly we love you!

The enemy is being reinforced with a behemoth!

11:41 you for sure hit that crew member 😂

Phly: I don't think any vehicle can get heavier than this Maus: do you forget I exist as well as my cousin The E-100

I have played this game for 5 years now and I swear I still get surprised by things like this in war thunder love it and ty Flydaily

How big is your computer screen? Im just so flabbergasted at how you spot enemy tanks so easily, I almost always get shot by tanks i can never see

Maus is 188t and Jagtiger 2 was at 70.5t or 71.7t with Henshel transmission, so yeah Char 2C was one of the heaviest lanf ship produced Oh and fun fact the engine used were from german origins and came from Zeppelin if I remember correctly.

Hilarious Phly, I laughed the whole time. Especially the end, when you mocked the noob bomber who probably was thinking you release directly above your target.

4:42 It actually has an electric drive, like the Maus, so it can reverse at the same speed

And strangely too it's also the oldest tank in the game lmao 1922 boys remember this one !

So from doing some research and math,The Char 2c had a Mayback Water Cooled Diesel engine,they were 23L engines with 250hp so in total the engine was a 46L 500hp engine (their was 2 of them combined) Now there was a variant with 2 Inline 6 Daimler/Mayback engines (Source: Tank Encyclopedia,Wiki,History Fandom)

AFAIK those are indeed the pistons, not exhausts. I recall seeing some footage of like WW1 era tanks and how you crank the engines on, and the pistons are a sight to see by themselves

I was waiting for someone to make a video on this

The amount of crew health in that thing is insane. If you keep ammo low its a health tank.

The Char 2C uses 3 types of engines. A pair of Chenu 210CV, captured Mercedes-Benz 200CV engines in 1923, then repowered a final time in the mid-30s with a pair of Maybach 250CV engines. The Chenu engines were extremely unreliable and broke often. The Maybach engines are used in game. The Char 2C used 2 of those Maybach 250CV engines, each having 16.95L of displacement, for a total of ~34L of displacement with both engines running. Both engines running together made a combined ~500bhp and had a top speed of 9.3mph/15kph.

Gotta love most pre-cold war tanks, there is a variety of designs before countries started aiming at "low profile angled tanks" and ATGMs.

The Bo Time video on this vessel is going to be lovely

Hey phly, been watching for a couple years love your vids, the commentary of the opposing tank is hilarious!.. Vid idea: war thunder for beginners, explaining the basics, maybe even into depth on how to enjoy the game.. I'd like to start playing again but battle rating and playing style is were I'm struggling

Had the US not intervened in ww1, the french had planned to push the german line in 1919 with 300 of those, alongside a large number of FT17 light tanks (they already had 3000 FT17 by 1918). At the time there wasn't any "tank company", the french had only started working on on the tank concept in 1914. So they had their automobile companies, and ship building companies, to design tanks. It is quite clear in the 2C design, with its turret placement. The idea was to build "land fleets", eachmade of a few 2C escorted by a swarm of FT17.

From what i could find online these tanks used a few different engines. The last ones were 2 16.9L mercedes maybach engines. They only made about 250hp each so it topped out at 15km/h. It is still too this day the biggest production tank by volume.

I wonder if other tanks can push this tank's carcass. It would be funny to close B point entrances on the second map and just J out lol

The engines are likely modeled as the Sautter-Harlé diesel inline 6 engines, sadly I'm unsure of the exact displacement. These were installed on later tanks to replace the earlier Maybach V12 German engines. They made 250 horsepower each, and sent power through a hybrid drive system (yes, like the Porsche Tiger/Elefant) to the rear sprockets. The shapes on top of the engines you were looking at are the individual cylinder sleeves. A lot of old engines were built like this, rather than having the cylinders/heads encased in a full "block". Source: I wrote the Tank Encyclopedia article on the 2C. Happy to answer any other questions.

The engines were around 17L displacement each, so 34L total, and what's more interesting is the use of electric drive. So it works more like a diesel electric locomotive than a normal tank, with each engine running a generator while the electric motors actually produce the propulsion. Hence why it also has the same speed in reverse, since it's just running the motor backward instead of using a seperate gear chain.

9:56 Damn that right there was foul man, that bt had a family. This tank turns the Geneva Conventions into Geneva suggestions real fast.

Out of all the Phlyisms "squeezy boy" is definitely the best

"Nothing is gonna get heavier than this" Laughs in 72 ton Abrams

I can't wait for the 4C bis: two 2C's joined side by side. Four tracks, two engines, two derp guns!

That “I don’t know how he even spotted me either” fucking killed me

Iirc those style of cupolas are supposed to spin pretty quick. Giving the commander a really good view as the spinning slots kind of all blur together to a functional transparency

I just gotta say... it is nuts watching the treads actually rolling around this... landship.

Funny fact about the actual C2 Char Bis. France built them in anticipation to intercept any invading German force, kind of like a lumbering Maginot Line, and kept them for a "rainy day". The day Germany actually did start pulling some stuff, they started shipping their C2's out of the nation so they wouldn't be captured or destroyed. . . . . . because it wasn't raining that day. I'm kidding about the raining bit. But they seriously did not use these tanks even though they had them because they were afraid of losing that investment and in the end they lost that investment as they didn't make it out of France and were captured on route.

all the red arrows pointing at the huge tank like we can't see it lol, love the video!

2C BIS IS FUCKIN INVINCIBLE!!! [Bridge] Red sun Red sun over paradise Red sun Red sun over paradise [Verse 1] Golden rays of the glorious sunshine Setting down, such a blood-red light Now the animals slowly retreat To the shadows - out of sight Arid breeze blows across the mountains Giving flight to the birds of prey In the distance machines come To transform Eden - day by day [Pre-Chorus] Only love is with us now Something warm and pure Find a peace within ourselves No need for a cure [Chorus] When the wind is slow And the fire’s hot The vulture waits to see what rots Oh how pretty All the scenery This is nature’s sacrifice When the air blows through With a brisk attack The reptile tail ripped from its back When the sun sets We will not forget the Red sun over paradise Red sun

bro I just subbed to phlycast and you better believe imma binge those videos tonight, (you should really upload more on there phly it would be really cool to see some videos other than war thunder)

Hope for the basic FCM 2C in the TT, with 13 crew for this one !

Ironic thing is, one well placed shot on the turret knocks out 7 of the 12 crew, then you can pop the ammo with a nice lower plate shot.

Me watching the video: cool meme tank. My brain: “We have a Behemoth on route” *BF1 music playing dramatically*

I took this thing and covered the whole front turret of this 20 foot tall monstrosity with branches and ferns. It actually works pretty well when you just pop up over a hill and plink them with your 155mm shell

Lmfao “WHOOOOAAAA WHOOOOA DONT LOOK AT THAT”

"Not the biggest we be receiving". Slipping into olde whaling lingo at the sight of that 2C's hump.

Liter is the metrical unit for displacement, so for example the Packard Merlin V-1650 used in a P-51D has a displacement of 1,650 cui. Multiplied with "roughly" 16.387 equals 27,038.55 cubic centimeters, which divided by 1,000 equals 27.038 liter displacement. The DB601 from the Bf109 has 33.9 liters displacement, multiplied with 1,000 is 33,900 and then divided by 16.387 is about 2,068.71 cui rounded for 2 decimals. So you can see the reason why in the early stages of ww2 planes with the DB601 were superior and in the later stages, even though the DB601 and 605 had more displacement, the lack of high octane fuel made them inferior... And since you clicked "expand": the horsepower is not the important factor when it comes to moving big machines like tanks, boats or Saturn V rockets. What matters is the torque, which is a result of potential displacement of engines: a tank like the one in this video might have 2 straight-6 engines with 250hp each, but each engine might produce 500 Nm torque, while a F1 race car has a V12 engine with 800hp and 600 Nm torque. So the F1 car has more horsepower but less overall torque and torque is the decisive factor when trying to move those steel monsters. Last but not least: the Maybach HL230 has 23.095 liters or 1,409.3 cui displacement, producing 700hp at 3,000 rpm and 1,850 Nm or 1364.5 ft lbs of torque at 2,100 rpm. Guess what rpm range was favoured on HL230 powered tanks 😘

"I don't think anything is gonna be heavier than this." *Maus wants to know your location*

those funnels are 2C's exhaust pipes. looks funny because it seems like it shouldn't be on top of pistons.i guess that is hybrid form of gas turbine and piston engine together and litre about maybe around 20-30?

You dropping off that hill before A in that last match looked so similar to a battleship breaking through a giant wave haha

Immediately bought it on release, the fun this tank brings is on another level

You could use this thing to block the a point on frozen pass quite nicely, so your teammates wont go spawncamping

Reminds me of the good ol' days of the bad ol' days - Battlefield 1: They Shall Not Pass.

I met one yesterday. Bonked twice with my armored car from up top it was dead kekw It was fairly hilarious cuz I'd been watching it for about 4 minutes trying to finally reach the spot navigating tight turns

I find it amazing that vehicle was a real thing and was actually used in battle

The engine situation on this tank is pretty weird and hard to find info on. First it had two Mercedes diesels rated at around 200hp, which then were changed to Maybach V12 diesels. Eventually it ended up with two Inline 6 Sautter-Harle engines. This tank uses a electric drive for the sprockets kind of like the Ferdinand did.

Never in my life did I ever imagine this thing with a howitzer

I'm so excited to play these i've been waiting so long for them to add them

The little guy you were trying to shoot crosses out to the right side of the screen a few seconds after you align your butt. It's pretty funny. (near the end)

Phly talking about the 70 tons of the 2C Bis: "I dont think anything gonna get any heavier than this" Meanwhile Mouse with 188Tons: 👁👄👁

Wonderful to see Phly playing on Saint Patchricks day.

All I gotta say is since phly has been uploading again my mental health has been amazing

This was amazing!

17:38 little did phly know the lil Italian zoomed by only to be murdered shortly after 18:02

Those 17 litre engines that they put in cars that you're talking about, were usually just aircraft engines slapped onto a frame with wheels and then they called it a car. Check out the fiat s76. Biggest 4 cyl ever made, 28 liters. And its not an aero engine. The wheels are driven by a chain, just like a motorcycle.

17:34 look at the RIGHT SIDE the sneaky Italian car went by him a LONG time ago... so sneaky..

I didn’t know they were adding a Gepard with AA missile it’s sweet!!

The 2C was initially powered by two Mercedes diesel engines taken from the Germans as war reparations. The Mercedes engines reportedly were rated for 180 to 200 horsepower, depending on the source. These were later upgraded to 250 horsepower Maybach units, also taken as reparations. These engines were water-cooled V12 diesels

What a gift for players for Christmas, a massive French land dreadnought. BF1 had it for years, so why not give War Thunder it aswell.

I've got this thing for a few days now, and it's so funny to use!

Looks like they updated the damage indicators, looks good!

That whole tank can fit more than a B-17 crew

I was in a game right after the update and I saw 6 or more 2c Bis going into battle right next to each other

if i remember correctly, the jagdtiger, tiger 2 were over 70 tons. but the challenger 2 tes megatron and the newest abrams variants are also around 75 tons

17:37 you got bamboozled phly :D

That was a trip to derp heaven !

Phly is no longer broke on SL

The beast, the machine, the Oh it's a premium

I knew this would be the first vehicle you did!

I love these early derp tanks

5:00 we still have big engines today in trains i can name 2 for sure IC-3 Deutz tcd 2015, 12 or 14 liter total displacement v6 v8 config respectively IC-4 Vector 8, 20 liter displacement V8 Scania also has a v8 at 16.4 liters

been fighting this thing in BF1 and that shit is terrifying when in a good hands

I'm not exactly sure what the _displacement_ of those honking great straight 6s were, they were possibly twin 17 litre Maybachs, but they were located in the _engine room_ Engine _room_ _Engine_ room _Ships_ have engine rooms, that's how big this stupid thing is.

This and the T-35 would be a glorious battle

Well according to how WT modeled the tank layout. This Looks like its actually Diesel-Electric. Two engines drive Generators that then drive electric Motors on the main drive gears.
