Sorry for the detour in the overview. I just think this is a pretty overlooked issue by Gaijin and a pretty glaring obvious bug in the game right now. There are so many vehicles that are exploitable with this, such as the KV-1E etc.

Bruh every Oddbawz intro is like a movie trailer

Gaijin: you want bug fixes? Got it, more new tanks.

Last time I was this early, Odd has never met PhlyDaily

So thats why a hetzer could blocked my 122mm at 50m Thanks for the info odd o7

volumetric my arse, it's just a straight buff to the Russian mid tier

Gajin 'No tank is fine buy more bushes solve all problem !"

Putting aside the tank, that aerial fight in the first match really emphasized the average ability of most of the gfrb players when it comes to aircraft!

"He has a wife, you know."

Love the Monty python reference in the thumbnail lol

Just that you showed up and did even a short video when your not feeling good is stellar. Love them all even the short ones thanks for all your work.

War Thunder was always a pretty frustrating game but the fun times really kept me going. Since the volumetric update the fun times have just become more and more rare (I play primarily ground RB). The only way to have consistent decent match is playing with a buffed tank, which just makes the game stale.

I'm so happy I found your channel. Great content mate!

I'm so glad that I found your Chanel. I absolutly appreciate your lovely Videos and your work. Keep on with your great content dude✌

I'm glad I'm not going crazy, one of these ate 3 apds from my fv4202, and that round has 200+ mm of pen

that moment when the tiger II and ISU came slowly creeping from the hill before you shot them is absolute film material, an oddbawz intro trademark

Was waiting very patiently for this!

"it's not so good anymore" hasn't been so good in a long while

Hey Odd! Thanks for posting today, hope you are feeling better!

it went from the sherman 75mm being a fun tanks to play to sending shell after shell at a T34 and not penetrating while the T34 oneshots you

A buff for the Jumbo should either give it the add on armor option or a smoke grenade upgrade, or move it down to 5.7

Good analysis on the volumetric armor problem. Thanks for raising awareness.

Great channel you've got here. And yes I came from Phly's channel.

This was a great video explaining the new mechanic.

Oh yes! Always love the videos, and the streams! Keep it up dude.

This is the thing... i like phly benny magz and others.. Odd is feeling fresh atm. He´s trying to make a name for himself on youtube and playing with the best with a unique style.Good editing with a twist of humour is great fun to watch. You deserve to have a bigger channel and you will, soon Gl dude.

Your videos are always helpful and infomative. You are now my favourite KZfaqr!

Waking up to this absolute masterpiece, thx for keeping me from studying

I love Shermans in general, since i saw my first war movie about WW2 and that still is the case today, so whenever i see one i'm happy. But seeing you or phly playing a Sherman, man that doesn't even compare! It's so much fun to see you guys having a blast in 'em 😊 Love ya m8 and have a good one

I love your uploads and your attitude sir. Hope you're feeling well.

I wish it wasn’t broken, I literally played it yesterday and was getting killed across the map by strvs and panthers non stop

25:39 that detective, is the right question!

10:38 nice shot man I wasn't expecting that 😂

Hey odd I just want to say the music makes it so much better😄

I liked the idea of volumetric when I first learned about it, now after learning about those bugs, it definitely needs get fixed, but just fix those bugs, dont revert back,

Good fun. Thanks, as always.

Hi, love the video man!

Wow ok, ask and you shall receive, thanks for playing the 76 jumbo odd!

One of my favorite Sherman’s !.

at the moment they are moving over to a volumetric model, all the old cast turrets of all nations have the same bug, the overlapping plates on everything else are 'working as intended'

Mind blown on the bug. Thanks bud.

Oh boi Thanks Odd for Vid :)

Hey Odd! I’d love to see a doom turtle vid with maybe the f 80 or somethin. Keep up the awesome stuff!

Actually I've taken notice to this "bug" or feature as Gaijin would refer to it some time back. I played a tier 3 game with the Italian 105/25 M43 when I came up against a Chinese m10; easy kill I thought - he had his front facing me and I fired the first shot. A 105 mm cannon firing a HEAT shell with 120mm of pen across the board. I hit him dead center of the front plate which should have been a guaranteed kill any day of the week, he doesn't have more than ~50mm of armour in the front, at best 70-80mm with the slope of the front plate. But no dice, the HEAT round just disintegrated on impact and he killed me with his return fire. I was perplexed with how this could have been, so after the game I took a look at the protection analysis and low and behold there are two intersecting armour plates; the 50 mm plate covering the transmission and the 38mm plate covering the top front. Right by the seam where they both intersect the armour jumps up to 180mm. Now this seam is about a pixel wide, but its there and if you hit it then kiss your pen goodbye. I noticed this back in March and I though it a one off, but after seeing this video it's apparent the bug is inherent in their design and more widespread than I first imagined.

wow i didnt even know there was a bug thanks for showing us that issue

Take it easy and thanks for another great vid :-)

First time ive seen Odd actually get a revenge kill. What a magnificent sight. I understand not wanting to be toxic but sometimes it's fully called for and often a hinderance to your team if you don't take someome out in a decent position or a decent vehicle when you the had the chance to do so

Great video

Awesome vid my dude. Perfect for waiting for xrays on my hand. No WT for me again for 2 weeks :-(

OddbawZ Thanks for keeping me entertained while I work ... your videos have really helped me ... do you play on a computer or console with keyboard and mouse ?

"no one knows why russian tanks are more advantageous with this" well... Maybe, just maybe the fact that gaijin is russian?

*Sees revenge kill in intro* Look how they massacred my boy

This is really good for the m48 patton it makes it finely have good turret armor against conventional shells and especially with the t34 85 because think about it the shell will take the path of least resistance so the thicker armor will force the shell down

Great vid.

Thanks Odd. Your analysis is spot on. Don't agree with your priorities or methods, but your criticism is legit.

Now that you have played Jumbo 76, now play it's best friend, the T25. (I love it)

I hope you get well soon 👍

hope you get better soon

I just love you laugh Just as good as Jingles laugh.

Now we know when odd gets mad and grabs the P59A, you might aswell just J out

Nice, you got revenge on Kroufoord with the P-59A

Now this is what a Jumbo video should be like lol

Every match i see jumbo in,im like RESPECT MAA AUTHORETEE!

Everybody: "the volumetric shells don't work" me: "Toiletpaperarmor, I see"

The m1 abrams has a bug in the ammo rack before the update if you take 45 rounds you can have them sin the Turret but now it puts them half in the Turret and half in the hull

Funny how you get killed by that t-34/85 in your track from the side by 1 hitting you but then you shoot multiple shots into a roof and the side for like 15 shells and nothing...Lil bias maybe??? hehe Great video Odd

10:57 the same thing happened to me earlier, a big ole t34 looking at my un-angled side, he would of gone right thru me but he was killed right before he could shoot

I think the problem Gaijin has with trying to "balance" various tanks (apart from a disparate skill set with in the players in each battle) are the way tanks actually fought IRL. The Tiger/Panther, and to a certain extent PzIV 75mm were arguably better weapons than the majority of the oppositions weapons, added to that the (early-mid war especially) far better training, leadership and organisation of their crews. So much that the allies need a 4-5 tank numerical advantage to "balance" the battle. How can Gaijin reflect that in an on-lone game that has equal numbers per side, with no organisational structure (except for those that play in clans)? Invoke a per battle linit to particular vehicles? Say one tiger per 5 T34's or Shermans? 1 IS1 per 4 PZIII/IV? I don't think that would be possible, queue times would spiral out of control, half the player base would scream blue murder that their beloved nation was being nerfed, and that Russian bias was true. So they are really forced to continuously fiddle about with incremental tweaks to BR, fart around with shot and armour physics. constantly referring to the chapel of their God and Savior "data mined Statistics)" to justify any change. Despite these stats not being balanced against the ways players actually use the vehicles in game. ie a player using a fast, op vehicle to quickly cap points then "J" out or die to just leave the game with their RP/SL, or re-spawning in a plane as that's what they really want to play anyway Result.. Stats that show the OP vehicle is not performing that well, and it's BR is valid. (Yes R3-t20, I'm looking at you) The overall result is the mess we have now. Only a complete, top to bottom, review that takes into consideration stats AND player feedback, while a moratorium is placed on any quick fix changes will come even close to fixing the problems that are getting worse and worse. But seeing Gaijin are publishing a new game "Enlisted".. Don't hold your breath, they wont put more resources into a game that's gradually losing it's player base to the detriment of a new title. Besides, a quick view of their forums and Reddit shows clearly that the player base can't agree on anything anyway. The best we'll get is them employing content creators of good standing ("Oxy", "Mike goes Boom" etc) to give the impression that they're listening.

i just got this bad boy and damn do i love it

Looks like they have done something about the overlapping armour already, hopefully an improvement

The volumetric issues and the slopes covered in KY jelly has made me just want to look for another game.

The starting of the video gave me ptsd playing germany agaisnt this thing

Dear Odd , please for the love of god - and spaghetti send this to developers Gaijin could just say , implement a similar thing to warzone but Instead of number of players on a team you would have presets for a 3 vehicle slot battle. Or 1 ,2,3 or 4+ etc. vehicles slot battle . Larger battles = insentive for more SL and RP. But also allows for fair teams players would then have to spawn 3+ times to get a reward and then avoid crew lock . Gaijin could also say have battles that have a capped vehicle limit . But they would then also need to like arcade dictate the leaderboards and what vehicles are present upfront. battles then have a max respawn of 3 vehicles etc. The air and helis , would also be able to first spawn so the team will have to organize themselves for the win . This also engages teamplay... of all air land and heli off the start , instead of playing well individually you would have to play as a team. So you would have 3 spawns max and take away the mechanic for respawn points . As newbs get shmacked This solution adds a new game mode , and solves a really stupid problem. This allows newbs to have way more leniency and keeps players in the game. Another thing is the spawn camping , this is my idea for gaijin . They need to make it that certain types of tanks spawn at different spots in the map ( like aircraft at different altitudes) , so light tanks forward , medium in the middle and heavy/td In the back . Thus the rush can be broken down and played strategically irrespective of a couple bad players , like there would be in real tank combat. Also if the enemy team moves forward then just push back the map position. Thus the map is dynamic ( battlefield 4 had a mode like this ) . And if the enemy pushed to fast , the light tanks could spawn and shoot them in the sides . This also allows for a unique game mode taking away cap zones and it will be a tug of war for positioning , this engages dynamic game play and a great way to slow down spawn camping . As well as being a new mode that would bleed tickets from time in a particular zone. This solves 1. Teams having unfair advantages from skill base ( while still not having to rank players ) ( because of small players base ) 2. Reduces and rethinks Spawn camping 3. Regulates Crew lock that’s stupid and inconvenient 4. It creates Extended gameplay 5. It gives players Insentive to play larger / longer games 6. Adds dynamic battles + more game modes

Odd you have acquired the amount of lions i have XD

Life of Brian reference. Nice.

Months ago, and this is still a problem. It's freaking ridiculous. All they need to do is detect if a shell is penetrating more than one plate, then calculate as if the thickness were that of the thickest plate.

Hey odd! Just wondering if you could do a combo of m4a2 and the new p51c10!

Gg dude thanks

I have such a hard time with planes, I'm an ace with tanks but planes on controller is horrific, btw great quickshot on that is-2 20:30

you should takeout the tiger porsha ( sorry cant spell it) the premium 5.7 with the extra front plate . good vid

You need a "That's a scary boy" shirt with a graphic of you most feared tank and your logo. Watched a great documentary one Eric Brown on BBC 4 last night. WW2 test pilot and Britain's greatest pilot. He's a Scot as well. He started his flying career in Gladiators and finished in the Bucaneer and also flew many German planes in between. You should watch it.

You can genuinely hear the anger and disappointment in that fw 190 when he got killed. He was actually a very bad player as well cause he was missing all his shots before he got closer

I do like the Volumetric Update. The issue is not with the new shells, but rather with the vehicles who don’t have a good/compatible armor design (for the ingame 3d model) with the update. They’re only a few, so I think if Gaijin fixes the issues with the vehicles the game will be much better.

I love playing jumbo 76 I’ve had more crazy games with that than higher be tanks in the same tier

Hey odd, about the volumetric shell vs armor bug and stuff, especially overlapping armor. Try checking the Jumbo's UFP armor against the Centurion 3's APDS. It does the same to solid APs as well like from the American T34. Oddly enough, the APDS from the comet's gun works fine, same with the 17pdr APDS. 105 APDS from the L7s too. It's just weird.

I’ve found, through much trial, error and pain that the best way to kill these things frontally is through the bow gunners port. If I’ve got the time I’ll shoot barrel, track then port, but that’s assuming he’s got no friends.

You forgot to mention the hull MG ball mount, if you pen that (and you will) you’ll knock out the crew almost instantaneously.

Do what you need to do for you. Anyways I saw a bunch of people in your stream ask for this vehicle, so kudos.

Maybe instead of adding the value of meeting plates they could take the average of the values. That could potentially fix the bug

70% of the tanks in this game became obsolete imo.

Haha-I thought the ship sound was some new “metal ping” sound effect (I’ve never played naval) • Also, I wish they’d send all jumbo variants down at least one tier...it should be higher than a panther ...

Good old days, jumbo at 6.0

"Bugs" Komrade...... deliberate I say

My favorite Tank❤❤❤

Ah yes.Even the tank crews saving toilet paper now

The Sherman Jumbo is the Gundam of all Sherman’s in WW2 because of their limited production.

My favorite Heavy Tank in the game more so than the German Heavies and T-series Super heavies

fun when you bring low br vehicles in this br

That Collusion guy that Phly plays with sometimes is the worst air hawk (air spawn camper) pos i have ever seen, did it to me several times in one day. You're right tho Odd, its hard to survive when someone does it consistently.
