Holy ..., that explosion killed me, rip my speakers 100% volume

“When someone penetrates the turret MOST OF THE TIME: my ears explode”

The explosion caught me 💀

“When someone penetrates the turret MOST OF THE TIME: *PE-8 noises*"

From the little that I know of the battle of France, another problem was that the French scattered their armor among infantry units as support, while the Germans massed their armor.

Phly : « If the French had better tanks in terms of gun and armour…” **sad Char B1 noises**

Congratulations phlydaddy I hope Phairchild never knows wye he is called Phairchild

1:20 I didn't realize today was the day I would be saying goodbye to my eardrums

Hey French tank on France day! It's the 14th of July, Bastille day ! Happy Bastille day Phly and y'all!🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫

Just got back into War Thunder after a 5 year hiatus. Love that you're still here doing videos, can't wait to catch up on them all. Been having fun playing early French tanks and i'm looking forward to getting further in the tree!

I really like the addition of the historical facts!

What is often left out of the Battle of France is the huge losses the Luftwaffe suffered from the french and british airforces, and probably saved Britain if not the war, at least a lot of time.

I love this tank! And a great fête nationale to all my french buddys!

I believe French tank "commander" units had radios to receive orders, but the tanks under said command were supposed to communicate with flags. Like... semaphore. Not to mention a french tank unit's members were generally very spread out, supporting individual infantry units. So you can imagine how that worked out.

Super video, as usual. It would have been great to see one of them this morning, descending the champs élisés for Bastille day.

Happy Bastille day everyone Merci Phly !

French tanks where better in a 1v1 but because of the radio used by Germans they made sure that those situations didn't happen

Finally some fun & interresting tanks again on this channel.. Whoop whoooop! I absolutely adore the french tonk tree, it is so much fun!

I love this tank I have been waiting for you to play this again. Its such a powerful tank but as you said you have to see the enemy first but its not always easy when you're drving a giant tank.

Just wanted to say congratulations brother. Was moving yesterday so I couldn't exactly say anything when I still should have. Goodluck with at all.

I love playing this thing, a heavy medium tank with a great gun.

I watched one of your old videos of this last night and was hoping you'd make another. Guess my wish came true

I’d say that it was part of a better operational structure and leadership system in place, of which having radios was a part of. This also includes pushing the decision level to the point of the spear, where commanders in the front could make decisive decisions without waiting for upper management to approve. Most French divisions were captured as they couldn’t stay flexible enough to respond to the German attacks. And congrats! I got twin boys and it’s a handful but a privilege.

Ty phly for listening to me from the last “Big Dog” vid yk the one shot only challenge, two good vids here keep it up

Loving the unloved Steve go back into your vids a see when was the last time you played the m47

Was one of my fav tanks in WoT, and my old clan used lots of them in clan wars. All you need is medium tanks and AMX50B. play fast play hard = win.

love ur vids man continue like that u are a king

after watching phlee for over 5 years i finally have a pc that can run war thunder smoothly. i've been playing non stop since yesterday

Correction: The French were not flanked from the north (their entire army moved north as part of their strategy), they were in fact flanked from the center through the Ardennes Forest as no one thought Germany would be crazy enough to swarm tanks through a forest with very few roads. And honestly, I find it way more embarrassing to lose the center because your opponent did something so crazy, you never think they would actually do that crazy thing to win the war against you. And I guess that is what best exemplifies the AMX-50 Tank. Powerful, but it breaks the convention of a tank by having a fragile front that even tanks below your tier can kill you easy.

Congratulations on your little bundle!!!

@PhlyDaily cheers for giving me tinnitus from the “if you penetrate the turret” moment at the start

The newer French tanks did have radios, but they still largely relied on flag and hand communication if I remember correctly

Love you do glad to see you have a kid cant wait for the future to see what else funny things you do with that new kid hopefully we see some cool video ahead love you dude keep up the great work😁

Another difficulty in the battle of France is that French tanks were sprinkled along all the border while Germany concentrated their tanks on one point. The radio played a role and also most French tanks were under crewed so the tank commander had to watch, command, fire, reload and guide the driver at the same time

I ASKED FOR FRENCH VIDEOS WHEN I MET YOU IN GAME!! THANK YOU PHLY DADDY DO THE AMX30s NEXT =)

1:20 THAT SCARED ME SO BAD, i felt from my seat. and greetengs from Poland!

you really had fun with the edits haha

Nice video keep going

Okay I know you got done playing the superbias, but have you ever played the AML-90 at 7.0? I have a blast playing it. It’s such a awesome little armored car with a deadly 90mm HEATFS slinging gun I even call it “5 tons of fun!”

Congrats phly

I have the prem version of this from last season it’s amazing

You are correct, the French tankers at the time were still signaling or communicate to each other by signal flags, you can just imagine how effective that is compare to the Germans using radio

damn yesterday i started playing surbaisse for first time and phly makes a vid on it . poggers

you got to love that 120

That escape off the mountain was actually so sick

I havent played war thunder for over a year but I think its neat that the destroyed tanks stay on the map.

Hey Phly, you probably won’t read this. But i still want to congratulate you on the baby :) and another thing, take a break as long as you want. Give your wife and the baby the time they need. I don’t care about how long the break will take, i still can watch other videos of you :)

This has gotta be the best thumbnail yet

Congrats on your first child :D

Congrats dude on the baby boy,"long range baby YEETS"

YEEEEEEEES THANK YOU PHLY DAILY LOVE YOU MAN KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Great jumpscare, those don't usually get me but that one did!

Communication was a HUGE part of Gauderin's Blitzkreig doctrine, and I agree it was the single most thing that allowed his forces to steamroll Frances superior tanks. Second was the way the French deployed their tanks in piecemeal as opposed to Germany, corinated, pinpoint attacks of tanks, armored lnfantry and close air support and use of terrain and bypassing strong points.

best thumbnail of 2021 no contest.

I just searched amx50 this morning, though you had one but it was old. Coming back to KZfaq few hours later and seeing this lmao

ENFIN il le joue ENFIN

I am happy to see you play the 120mm hot Baguette dispenser. Giving 20 baguettes every 6 sec to the ennemies. May i recommend playing the AMX 30 super, or AMX 32 or 40. The 20mm coax is really helpfull. Trust me.

I enjoyed this vid

Congrats Papa Phly

Anndd today is actually french nationnal holiday "Bastille day", so, perfect timing :)

@PhlyDaily make a video on the Spitfire Mk Vc. One of the best turn fighters in 4.7, let's see a video on it!

KV-2 And this 2nd map is just very good set

Hey phly they just fixed strv 103 and vt1-2 hull aim it is way smoother than it was before and makes the 103s actually viable now.

Advantage of swedish tank Good depresion angle!angled turret!good penetration

"THIS is a TANK" great observation Phly

Amx 50 is such a beautiful tank

Hope you're doing well with your newborn son!! Much love phly

I was secretly watching KZfaq at night and that explosion just woke my parents up as well as scaring the crap out of me lmao

It's 4am and that explosion scared the shit outta me.... woke me up too :(

This thing is an absolute beast in WOT to, at least it was when i played 4 years ago....

Hey phly, I usually play the amx 50 surbaissé with 15 HE and 5 AP, because this tank loves to overpressure early mbts

i think the french had radios in their army they just didn't have radios inside their tanks and idk if they had radios that were carried by soldiers or if they were at bases only

I read comment that requested this yesterday and it happened. It’s sad that the p-51 guy has been asking for months now.

Lol that bmp was just like "scuse me, coming through, someone died here I need to see if there are more......oh your repairing? That sucks."

That T29 kill at 14:00 was very, very nice.

Thanks for the volume warning Phly

Went on a rampage on Poland with my M18. Tigers, Tiger IIs, Panthers, stood no chance. 76mm with 5 sec reload, behind German tanks is insane. Got 25 kills.

i wanna play this tank now thanks

dude! i need some merch!

Gatling Pea irl was and still is my best invention idea of all time

14:06 Phly turning into epic villan after simmingly defeating the main character and starting to explain his evil plans

Congratulations on Banks Fairchild!

thanks for scaring the shit out of me at a coffee shop with the sudden nuke blast LMAO

The top part of the tank reminds me of the separatist Droid tank from star wars

Phly would be that one tank commander who is cheering for the enemy but also destroying 15 tanks in the span of 5 minutes

First of all congrats Phly! Second Jesus H Christ I had my tv and sound set to full volume and rip my eardrums due to the explosion in the beginning lol

These thumbnails are on point lmao

Can you please play the Breda 501, it os one of my favourite vehicles to play

Section and Platoon leaders had radios in the allied tanks, but yes, communication with every tank - and close air support is what won the Germans a victory.

fun fact you can easily pen the t95 turret mantel right next to the barrel cause its basically flat...anything more that 200m of pen will do the trick :)

Im really enjoying the edit style 😂

Hey phly, I remember you made a video about sim battle when it first got introduced. Perhaps you could do it again.

Ow ow ow ow ow ow. My ears from the intro explosion 🤣

this tank was supposed to have between 250 and 300 mm of armor on the turret but for some reasons they decided to do 60mm

Nice

Next video play the su152 when you angle it and get the correct br you will get a lot of kills

Thanks Phly... I now need a new set of eardrums.

Man, every time I see your cursed thumbnails I must laugh

Hey Phly, been watching for along time. Was curious if you would be able to make a video on the German M48 (cant remember the full name, its the one after the Tiger II H) i have really bad luck with higher tier German Tanks. Much Love.

The explosion scared the sh$t out of me
