"Scouting 4 tanks is trivial" ME: (CRIES IN SHIT PLAYER)

Man thats the worst,you can scout someone when you only see the tip of the antenna when hull down but then you cant scout a tank in the open field because there is a bush to the side of the crosshair

@@naturalstateofmind2115 nah, sometimes i have failed to scout people so close, that they could smell my diesel

@@naturalstateofmind2115 Thought so, but even with "improved optics" it tend to fail. But one consistent thing is, at far distances couting with binoculars might fail while using the gunner sight wont (same vehicle, position and distance)

pretty sure last year they nerfed scouting so you can't scout enemy beyond certain distance, which is a load of bull

I found a trick that seems to work 99% of the time. make sure your turret is pointed in the direction of the vehicle your scouting.

My only issue is with tanks sometimes disappearing. I got lucky and was born with a good sixth sense of sorts that tells me occasionally to expect someone behind me soon, which often saves me and has done so several times this week.

Stop crying. US T34s and King Tigers are perfectly capable of countering light tanks. The problem isnt HEAT. HEAT at that BR is fucking useless and you have to pinpoint crewmembers to do shit. The problem is how bigass 120mm guns apparently dont do shit against lightly armoured marders.

@@honkhonk8009 no ww2 and Cold War mixing is a bad idea

​@TinyBearTim Is the m26 pershing a ww2 or cold war tank, given it was designed for ww2 but only saw full front line service afterwards? that kind of question makes splitting ww2 and cold war difficult, especially since a lot of so-called cold war vehicles were designed to fight during ww2, it just ended before they were ready.

Well that's a issue with every véhicule or War thunder

That's because Gaijin is still modelling every vehicle off of T-34 mechanics for drive. ie - Inability to accelerate while turning, torque not modelled, track width is over-prioritised as a defining trait.

@@Retrosicotte I wonder why.

@@naamadossantossilva4736 Laziness

@@naamadossantossilva4736 no profit incentive to make it better

The Rooikat 105 is essentially useless because it seems as if everyone is faster than me and has better armor and firepower. The real life Rooikat actually have great mobility and they don't even use DM23..... they have much better rounds

Night battles should get their own video. Trying to grind the Soviet tech tree was hellish with night battles. You get the T-55 and 62, the IT-1, and BMP 1 with NVDs, which is fun right? Except the Germans can get a whole line up of tanks with thermals at that BR. L/44, begal, etc. Same with the Americans and it's just not fun getting sniped through forests and bushes because the other guy has thermal images and I'm just trying to feel my way through the map with a flightlight and my eyes squinted. And I mean I like night battles, I think they're fun, or would be more fun if they were implemented better.

M41 givime depresion when i start to play it

I haven't gotten to sabot on mine yet, nor most of the mobility upgrades, but it honestly just feels like a bigger chaffee with less reliable armor. A good first or second spawn, but only really reliable as a close-mid range flanking vehicle on particular maps.

Yeah nevermind, with sabot its pretty cursed. Not unbelievably broken though, I'd say the PT-76B is much more unbalanced than it.

M41A1 is undertiered

The M41 is the only US tank that actually counters German armor on the Rank IV, pretty much most German mains hate the US M41 but turn a blind eye to the German M41.

Me being one shot from 2KM in my Tiger H from a PT-76 that touched my ammo with a HEAT-FS ... Pain

This is such a pain. I stopped playing heavy tanks because they are useless on most maps compared to light tanks. You don't need superior armor and immense firepower if you are behind your enemy. It's just annoying if you go that 10kmh and get shot in your side before you even leave the spawn

They need to NERF spawn points twords planes that light tanks get. not buff.

Because both are rank 1?

It’s because Gaijjn know scouting is OP so they chose not to give it to reserves.

@@kirishima638 Evidence?

Why would they let you be so much closer to full effectiveness but pay like 1/10th the repair cost? Doesn't make sense for their business model.

In my opinion WW2 is mostly the only tier you can have fun in

It's because early on, size mattered more. If you wanted a powerful gun, you needed to make it bigger. Bigger gun meant bigger tank. Bigger tank means slower tank, so you get this nice blend of compensation and tradeoffs between firepower, mobility, and armor/survivability. With advancements in technology, you could put crazy firepower on smaller tanks, and actual armor became less and less relevant. Basically, modern vehicles just don't really have to make tradeoffs in one category to be better in another

Except Germany 5.3, panther and tiger are so op, easiest matches in my life. They should be much much higher, but then we hit the power creep ceiling (which doesn't seem a problem (it is) when up-br-ing shermans and jumbos). Maybe if matches weren't full br difference, but like 0.7 (5.0-5.7 instead current 5.0-6.0) That or just make top br 13.0+ and decompress everything from low tier up

@@dr_birb Nah, I disagree as Tiger 1s aren’t that bad and neither are Panthers they are fine where they are but I do have a slight problem with the Easy Eight being 5.7, damn US players not sucking as much or as badly as Tiger 1 players

Because that's what the game was designed for.

@@LordTomi2011 Wait their people? I thought it was an ai with down syndrome

I still belive that the german tryhards just play the entire game in sniper vision. Iv literaly had an enemy that flanks me as im driving out of spawn. Shoot me in the rear/engine and killed my breech. Im MGing him. And this panthers taking the same path as me. The enemy RUNS INTO the panther. And he just moves around and keeps going before getting shot in the back of the turret and killed and the enemy then turns back and shoots me.

@@robertharris6092 when I was still a newer player that was one of my worst habits being in sniper vision for to long and not looking around . Of course I would take it off when I was moving but yeah.

That lack of awareness is the reason why people think R3 is overpowered

@@toki_tsu_kaze5511 Bush R3 (and bush tanks in general) go beyond situational awareness. It's one thing to not see that someone has flanked you. It's another entirely to be able to tell if a tank covered in bushes is hiding in even more bushes, especially without being suspect of literally every bush.

Yet the m4a3 76 is somehow at the same BR as a tiger 1 because it has a stabalizer...

@@robertharris6092 It's not at that BR because it has a stabilizer. Gaijin's original reasoning was because of HVSS, which was demonstrated to be bullshit, then they pivoted to the reason being that it gets HVAP - which being APCR is only marginally useful in uptiers. In the end, it's at that tier because Germs need something to shoot at, and it's going to stay there because despite this fact American players still do better on average.

I think Chaffee is OP due to the explosive filler of its APCBC and the stabilized gun. Its so fun to play, but sometimes I feel that is significantly superior than the Sherman for the same BR. And is Undefeatable for other similar lights like crusader III that hasn't any .50 MG. I think that a 4.0 of BR Will be fine for a tank of 1944

@@derpsturmpanzer1008 Utterly wrong on every possible level. Gameplay wise, it's literally just a slightly more capable but slower Puma. 4.0 would be utterly ridiculous.

@@The_Crimson_Fucker I agree, personally the Chaffee doesn't feel OP to fight against at all. It's got a great gun, sure, but it doesn't have any armor, and it's quite an easy target, thanks to the big turret. Also, it doesn't really have a speed high enough to avoid shots. Overall I think it's great for its tier, but it still dies really quickly if you're aware it's there. Just a good light tank.

thats on gaijin for letting vehicles ten years down the line fight those vehicles. a same tier heavy and light are fairly close but the uptiered lights are just fucking obbnoxious

@@danmendoza863 well done for admitting that you do, it takes courage.

​@@legaroojack1251 same to you chadbroski

@@legaroojack1251 You do have to aim for weak spots with HEAT-FS, because unlike APHE, you just aren’t going to kill anyone unless you hit them in the exact right position, places that you can 1-shot. Weak spots for a light tank is Ammunition and places where the crew is all lined up. Yes, I can pen you by shooting head on at the thickest part of your armor with 400mm pen Heat, but I’m going to do absolutely nothing to you, maybe kill your driver, but you’re fine. I have to memorize the location of the Ammunition on every single tank, because Ammunition is the only way to 1 shot anything. In a Tiger II, you have to memorize or Identify weak spots in whatever faces you, because your shell pens much less. But if you do pen, the large caliber APHE will instantly wipe out the entire crew, resulting in a 1-shot pretty much anywhere on the tank aside from the engine. There’s a trade off. I’ll pen, but do nothing to you if I don’t memorize Ammunition Storage locations. You might not pen, so you need to find thin spots in the armor, but if you pen, I die. It happens all the time, I kill heavies because they’re being stupid. Watch Spooks’ video on “The Tiger Problem,” I see the exact same thing happen with the whole IS- series and the Tiger II all the time. If you want to kill a light tank, in cities just wait for them to peek you. At 6.7, none of them have stabilizers, so just shoot the front of them as they peek out. You’ll definitely kill the driver, and probably the whole crew. If not, inch forward to get a better angle to kill the turret crew, but don’t expose yourself to their cannon. On long range maps, just stay down in cover or in the cities, where they can’t ever see you, or, when you peek, peek sticking the side of your turret that has the Commander/Loader first. The light tank will shoot whatever it sees first, almost certainly penning and killing your commander and loader, but now you have them in your sights and your gunner is ready to shoot. Turn that light tank’s crew into a smooth paste. Often I see heavy tanks play dumb and complain because they think they should be invincible. They shouldn’t be, but what they should be, and they are, is able to win any 1v1 engagement if they play smart. Yes this works, I used to play Russia, now I’m Swedish.

@@ShadowsOfTheSky seeing as the majority of tanks share crew layouts with the gunner and commander being next to the gun and the gun being a weak spot. Light tanks negate the one thing that makes heavy tanks heavy tanks. So both tanks can easily pen each other however the one is faster, has better turret turn speed, reload speed, it's smaller and can spot enemies with the single downside being that most heavies one shot them if they hit the crew compartment. I also think that you're way under playing the damage that HEATFS can do. If you're not an idiot and you aim next to the gun or at the gun or just at the turret in general you will either hit the ammo and one shot them or cripple them allowing you quickly finish them off with a second shot. Don't try and make it seem like the single trade off of less damage negates or even comes close to the various other advantages a light tank has over a heavy. Seeing as speed is one of the biggest advantages in the game light tanks are always able to get to good spots on the map before heavies. Further giving then an advantage. I also find it funny how you mention the fact that when they shoot you they will kill your commander and loader but then your gunner is still there so you can shoot them. You totally ignored the fact that the majority of tanks have their commander and gunner on the same side of the turret in a line, you also ignored the fact that even if your gunner survives he's not going to just sit around and let you shoot him, he's going to use his speed to get back into cover. Now you're down two crew members and he's down a single round.

@@vaelophisnyx9873 nah

There is certainly room for improvement with the current system, but I don't know that bringing back overpressure is the best solution. Sure, shooting a 76mm high velocity round through an R3 and doing no meaningful damage is complete bs, but nicking the crew compartment and causing instant death isn't great either. That being said, I don't really have any great ideas for how they could fix it. More spall I guess would help.

Locust is overpowered at 5.7 duuuude your so lame - random tiger 1h player who I flanked along with his jagdpanther friend someone cares about it lel also yes very true things, the M18 still is a menace to a lot of people apparently.

oneshots with heatfs are possible if the stars (crew) align or if you can manage to snipe ammo. i would take aphe every day over heatfs except frontally against a super heavy and if you're against a super heavy and you lived the first seconds, track and barrel torture works every time.

(In my personal experiance fighting tigers) I used to really struggle against tigers, and not only me but also my team, a tiger could just hold a choke point for ages. Thats the power of heavies, holding ground and taking punches. When i unlocked the PT-76B that all changed, and so did my tactics, i would stay in the back and let my team take charge and if there was one of those pesky tigers again just tap them into the gunner and problem solved. Thats the power of light tanks. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, and both are very usefull for a team when used correctly. Heavy tanks need to be weak to lights otherwise they would too strong. And light tanks need to be good against heavies otherwise they have no use since a medium would be better in every case then.

@@themightycat7238 the fucking difference is that the heavy players gets no fucking say in where you go how long it takes you to get there and they get no escape. what you just described is overpowered in nature, imagine calling the ability to just make someones choices in tank obsolete just by spamming heat-fs is a good gameplay mechanic. to make it balanced give all heavies a 2kg aphe to overpressure lights and then well see how healthy it is to be able to just erase someone

@@themightycat7238 when I finally unlocked the H1, took it for its first ride and got 10 kills, it was just absurd.

@@nicolaspeigne1429 sure, you need to know where the ammo rack is on every vehicle and pray the gods it will explode. Is like APDS, most people seem to dislike it, but is the best (most reliable) AP in my experience.

WILBERWIND APCR NOISE INTENSIFIS

light tanks are broken at times sure but ability of german heavies to bully allied teams from crossmap with no fear of being killed is a bigger issue, The allies from 5.3-6.3 have nothing that can fight the germans on the maps they get put in, the american's and russians don't have vehicles that can do it, and the british end up on the german team as much as the allied team, not forgetting the french tanks that also join the germans funny line up of sniping tanks on a hill or in a field. not forgetting the great desision to put the Jagdpanther at 6.0, The Jumbo can't even bounce the shells from german tanks that well, and with uptiers being common place(atleast for the american's and germans it seems), certain tanks that would fix the issue aka the Super Pershing or T20 just aren't there for the americans, and sometimes the germans are facing cold war MBT's in Tigers. However being real it makes the allied teams smarter at times, with british players learning the ammo location's on tigers and 1 tapping them with apcr or apds, American abusing their speed to get flanks whilst learning the best ambushing spots to abuse the stabilisers, Russian players just seem smarter in general, and china just does what ever the fuck they do.

I think the lack of infantry in the game is the real deal here. Like, why bother having more than 30mm of armor at all? Most things will pen you regardless, and AA will kill you from the side. When you have to deal with infantry, I think you want something sturdier. In war thunder, however, there is no penalty to playing a light tank, really.

Lights like the chafee which are honestly side grades to mediums arent the problem. Even the hellcat isnt actually the problem like unless youre petty why care about it flanking you. No its the massively undertiered light vehicles with guns that are generally much better than their med and sometimes td counterparts at the same br. Take the M41, Ru251, T92 and other vehicles like those that can straight lolpen. For US it sorta makes sense as realistically the have very few vehicles in that br range that can actually pen the armor thats rolling around. But thats no excuse. Itd be fine to move those tanks up if theyd just buff the US 90mm slightly.

HEAT should overpressure: there’s still a lot of explosive in those shells.

@@MaplePanda04 I mean medium caliber heat shells hitting your tank and then over pressuring the entire crew even if the tank armor should be thick enough to stop it. It just randomly acts like APHE, because yes of course a pressure wave can totally pass through a half inch hole in armor.

The strv 121 and 122 have a thicker UFP

Theres a lot of times iv died just because shots iv literaly made before just magixaly get absorbed into nothingjess. This is especialy noticable with tiger and panther side skirts.

PT 76B is trash, just shoot it anywhere (even MGs work on it). In my experience it's HEATFS are horse shit unreliable and have little to no post pen damage (sometimes 6 of them can't take out a Tiger). It's too loud, massive and slow for a light tank. 200mm mark is a very far stretch and even if it pens, it rarely kills more than a single crew member.
