Does spaced armor really help? How it impacts tanks gameplay?▶️ T-44-100 

“The turret is hard to hide because it is on top of the tank” This is beyond science

We should build tanks with turrets below their hull.

Spaced armor side skirts protect against: HE, HESH, autocannons and lastly HEAT shells but only if angled. The sideskirts on the pz4/3 for example can even protect against the kv2 in some cases.

5:50 Hey, that's me!

No worry comrade, D-10T will send them to gulag.

From a former military instructor, well done! You've a great channel here. I'd like to see you do at least one full match to showcase the subject once you're finished your lesson, and have some fun!

3:14 thats one in a million shots right there

3:35 *KV-2 intensifies*

This is the best WT channel that actually explains every aspect of the reviewed tank.

The t44 always felt like an early attempt at an mbt imo. I really like it. It does a little bit of everything thing fairly well

Still no tank modifications part 2.

I like how the t 44 is prepared for anything like its two depth charges on the back.

your videos are so helpfull! thank you :)

I also find the spaced armor useful against dammage done by rockets or bombs that land close to the tank. In the T44 100 and PZ4H , bombs most likely blow up the side skirts with no harm to the tracks allowing you to scape

I love these reviews! Keep them coming! Nice work

Do Pz. IV H! One of my favourite tanks, also has more spaced armor.

1:16 wall i am going down ... *YES* *BUT* *ACTUALY* *NO*

This is so amazing. Iam close to getting one of my own now!!!! Thanks for the guidee!

I love your guides! thank you very much you have helped me so much.

Do SU-130P plz, btw I like the way you introduct the tanks' characteristics

T-44s are my favorite Russian medium tanks. Maybe my favorite medium tanks period. And honestly I just think spaced armor looks cooler.

Just came from war thunder official channel about weapons then I seen this! Now I'm here!

Probably one of the most fun tanks in-game when spaded IMO. Really love it!

1:21 captions be like: saitama is 75mm thick.

*laughs in Type 75 Proximity derp shell*

"as long as the turret is smaller than the hull" strv 74: and i took that personally

Love your videos

The leopard 2a5 composite side skirts are really effective angriest heat when angled. Save me multiple times against Atgms

I want how to Chi-To next :) Great video !

~10s reload is amezing after using KV-2 and IS-2

4:55 the reason Pe-8's are nobodies friend

1) APHEBC is better than APCBC, it has better penetration at most angles despite what statcard says (it's incorrect). With 100mm APCBC you won't be able to pen Panther II UFP most of the time, while with APHEBC it will be doable below 500m. And that is despite APHEBC shell having less penetration. 2) HE filler doesn't influence APHE damage as much as you think. Calliber of the shell is way more important factor. For example 75mm shell with 460g of TNT has less damage than 85mm shell with 81g of TNT equivalent. I've said it a few times and it's still ignored by you, based on your videos. Except that, great video from which i can actually learn some intersting things about a vehicle. T44 100 is a really good tank, it's also more stable than average despite not having a stabilizer.

Hey man love your vids

Ah T-44-100, my little baby.

"Rolled homo genious armor"

spaced armor saved my StuH 42 G a lot of times

i've unlocked the T-44-100 today. thanks for your helpful video!!

Your videos always make me want to play wt again

you give me boost to research it ...more videos pls

T-44s are just nice foods for my Tiger II H.

You have a very good video quality

Amazing video, pls make a video on the is-3 or bmp-1

The angle on the side you have to give will generally also bounce ap shells.

For me, i love tanks that uses side skirt or spaced armor. It makes them looks quite funny but i still love them.

I Remember Surviving A *FV005* Shell Twice In A *T-44-100* In 38th Parallel I Was Actually Salty Because I *JUST* Fixed My Left Tread

Correction, heat shells don't use shaped charge plasma jets to pen. Think of it like a needle that get jammed in the tanks hull because of the explosive. Space does still help but in a different way.

4:55 OOF

Please do Soviet tank Su-122

the heavy tank T-26e1 from murica has also a lot of spaced armor

4:56 When u get nuked by ur komrad

Make one video about T80U

Hmm, i still wondering about one Tank in American tech tree... That gone from 8.0-9.3 battle. The M60A2 starship (le just need 3 tanks to research for unlocking it, cuz you know very unique turret and charasteristic)

I would say right of the bay is that it's does help.

I don't think you mentioned that there's one very common situation where you are attacked with plain HE shells that spaced armor works well against: artillery strikes use 152mm HE shells. Also bombs.

do some german 8.3 or 8.7 next please

''You can't nerf russian bias if your game is based on russian bias''-Gajiin

Hey can you please do a video on the m4 tipo ic

It is pretty much so in reality as well. Spaced armor was first used by Germans to increase protection against anti-tank rifles. Of course, it will activate HE and HESH charges sooner, but against the rest... Forget it. HEAT jet travels through air much farther than through steel, losing almost no penetration. They say that it is rather useful against modern APFSDS, especially if space is as long as the projectile. It supposedly makes it wobble thus losing its energy and trajectory.

I never realised that the smoke on the russian tanks were the barrels on the back lol. Thanks for letting me notice

Most things that can pen you do little poet pen damage looks at jagadtiger and decides to run.

The IKV 91 wants to know your location. That tank has a 400mm HEATFS shell. Meaning for 6.7 it penetrates EVERYTHING from downtier to uptier. Yes, I said everything. German armor? It's completely useless.

Try the Super Conqueror lad.

But have to be willing to research the worst to get to the best.

Subcaliber heat and hesh.. That hurt me on the inside

well no matter what my favorite tank in game

Please do su-152

Turret hard to hit Shows a clip of you hitting multiple enemy turrets at long range

i ve tried to use the side skirts to waste t114 ammo and turn the tide

"Its harder to hide turret because it's usually placed on top,, -Howtoplay1337

*super Pershing has left the chat*

can you make a video for M103 ? Because it is too hard to use

8:17 How did you do that? My aim gun don't follow my sight while in binoculars mode view, How can I change it to do what you did?

because as usualy it is placed on top of the tank... laughed way to hard at that

So, how do you know what type of shell they shoot you, for example a leopard?

1:14 what was that thing with the wall?

3:27 *hmmmmmmm*

It saved me from a heatfs shell of scorpion once

>Video about tank armor >Only show kill compilation with only a few hits showcasing side armor

please talk about the HE master: the T-30. please

APHEBC is better than APCBC for 100mm in my experience. APHEBC has much better angle performance at all angles depite what statcard says. With APHEBC you can pen Panther II UFP reliably, while not so much with APCBC. It has also tiny bit more HE filler and velocity. Also keep in mind, shell fragmentation depends little on he filler, caliber is much more important factor. 100mm shell with 100g HE filler is stronger than 90mm shell with 520g of HE filler

This Man: Side Armor is 75 mm thick Captions: saitama is thick.

I fired an HESH from my m56 to an t 44 on his frontal armor,is just *damaged the fuel tank*

3:35 FV4005 crying

3:27 i am curious.... is there any tank with the turret below the tank?^^

Hesh does care about angle I thought it had to hit it flat on for maximum pen

We should use water as tank armor instead of air.

Who else cringee really hard when they saw that m103 at around 3:50 use heat fs

Air=best armour

Meanwhile in world of Tanks... 70° angle is the holy number

Strengthen the whole body, but let the biggest weakspot in full view

you say less confidence in protection with this tank, then which tank has good protection?

Nobody talks about how he can shoot a tank without stab?

can you talk in one of your videos of how when firing at sloped armor, fire low on it sence its effectiveness is less. The russian 85mm gun cant pen the jumbo uper part of armor but if you shoot its lower part of front armor it can go through, same with the britsh 76 (17 pounder) and the panther.

Just a few RP away from it. But I have to say that I like the T-34s more.

Any way you can explain

9 out of 10 times it gets uptiered in 7.7
