HAHAHAHA THAT WAS ME IN THE PZ 3L IN THE INTRO DOING MERRY GO ROUND STUFF Tried to think of were you would be on the map and was right, just didn’t expect you to be so close! Lol
Good content??? In the beginning he said "this thing is waaaay over br'ed" but then later in the video he gets surrounded by 3 same BR tanks and survives, with no damage. Yeah try that with a tiger ii, I dont think its gonna workout for ya bud. I suppose every heavy tank is supposed to be able to get shot in the ass and back of the turret and not be able to be penned by his standards, yeah that's fair play
Hello there, just in case this gets to you I have a challenge for you, when france was added to the game, there was a reserve tonk called AMC 34 YR, with supreme 47mm gun that penetrates 27mm close range, reloads as fast as german 75mm with low speed stabilization and 50 grams of TNT this tonk was locked for new players long time ago but I still have it and I hope you do have it as well, anyway just in case you have it, my challenge is simple: get at least 3-5 kills. Good luck. (Atempt No. 4)
I have the tank and I've spent some time playing it getting out of phrench 1.7 and I've got to say it's round is not that bad, although you will get one shot by anything that looks at you
Thoroughly enjoyed the like conga line of dead enemies on that hill going down to A. And the absolute memey bois ripping down the hill at you like absolute mad lads. What a crazy time
Hey Odd? Could you make a video on how to tell engine sounds? I'm in awe at how you can tell if someone is coming down a direction or is near you, and I think it would help some of us new or inexperienced guys!
A tip here, in audio settings: turn player engine down to the lowest possible setting, and other vehicle engine to the maximum possible. Makes it much easier to tell what direction engines are. Though I will add, planes are really loud in this game now and their engines will muffle other noise
Generally experience will help you to identify what is coming, specifically Russian vehicles for me have very distinct engine noises and 6.7 Japan have very recognisable engine sounds. 2000 hours in I still struggle sometimes with M4s and Pz4s in the heat of fighting. I also push enemy players when planes are overhead if I know where they are because the plane engines mask your own making it safer to push.
I was in the Matilda III in the Advance to the Rhine game! (DukevonMagdeburg) I didn't do so well that game lol. Love your videos man, it was awesome getting to see you in action 👌
Funny challenge for you: play any tank with the 20mm coax or top mounted autocannon and get an ace with the autocannon. You can use the main gun to take out guns and stuff, but the killing blow must be delivered with the autocannon
So i got like 5 kills in the matilda ofc. These guys were spawn camping us and i took them all out by myself and i have to say that the Matilda is a good brawler for its current BR. Love your vids. Keep up.
The Matilda is fine at 2.7. It's half of it's opposition that's undertiered. It's a 1930s tank facing late war Panzer IIIs, IVs and Pumas. Moving it down would just increase the compression.
I know its also 2.7 but the crusader is one of my favorite tanks in the game and you should get a video on it, maybe a hurricane with rockets too, that's what I use
A few weeks ago I was in a t-28e and there was a Matilda hedgehog in front of me, I knew I couldn’t pen him so I shot the guy behind him, it wasn’t a guy, it was his mortar rack, he went boom
I got one of those just because i got the starter pack and this hedgehog was cheap,but i’m enjoying it tbh... they fixed the ammo rack, so if you dump those mortar rounds at the start you have slightly worse matilda. On maps lije sweden and advance to the rhein it works better than crusader, which work better on large maps. Together with a spit mark 2a it works for me.
I'm not really that into ground battles in rb (mostly air and naval, my highest BR tank is T-34-57), but I do have to say, when I had the "matilda and co." challenge for Battle Pass, I was playing this thing a lot, and I have to say - it's a quite fun tank to play. The biggest problem is the Hedgehog part, which tends to explode as if it was full, even when completely empty, but not facing a lot of R3s or EBRs, as well as being quite slow made me play much more carefully, making me a better tanker, I think.
It’s pretty disappointing that almost every Australian vehicle in the game is a premium, and they completely messed up the ammo rack mechanics with the Hedgehog so even after firing all the mortars it still just blows up. It’s certainly not a bad vehicle just cursed by how it’s been implemented.
I killed a hedgehog the other day with the tier 1 french AA (the tractor with mgs on). It was the funniest and most satisfying kill I've gotten for a long time(The enemy team had started spawncamping on the big castle / star fortress map) plus I got the final blow award for it to. Also why can't I meet opponets like this when I play the Matilda III? xD
Hey odd, just wanna say I love your videos and love you as a person too. You make my day whenever you post and I also love you as a fellow Scot! Have a great day.
Man yeah if it gets upped to 3.7 it can be tough but if it is at 2.7 you can really clean up easy i am not that great of a war thunder player, but I can easily get an ace a double and even triple aces using this and the regular Matilda. If I get paired with Germany it is almost certain I can dominate you just have to beware of you're flanks... not sure why I am telling you that haha you would clean the floor with me at any tier any time. Love you're videos I learn alot.
I think they've fixed the ammo rack bug, because I haven't been ammoracked with an empty rack for the hedgehog for a long time... people are still gunning for it, and I've had it red or black several times, but it's never gone off without those mortars in it.
It was like my team a day ago, I called attention on a building in the factory map, a M22 was shooting my tracks, every time I saw some of my team go that way I called out an attention, he managed to kill 8 that just drove past him, and 4 extra AA trying to just attack him straight on. At that point I stop playing to make coffee, when I came back I had still alive with so many enemies around me, so I started to shoot and killed 4 of them and that took me to 2nd place.
2 weeks in the game, and I keep running into these things all over the place. Couldn't find it in the tech trees, so I figured it had to be some P2W vehicle.
I have this tank just saying it has grinded me so much sl with out premium acc anyways one way to trick people is to launch all the mortars before confrontation and people will still shoot at the mortars thinking there was still ammo little did they know it was a trick I basically use this as a regular Matilda but except it has a distraction on it’s back
Here's a challenge for you Odd: double ace in the Soviet T-26-4. Heck even just an ace. You can use the APHE, but bonus style points if you do it using the Shrapnel shell. Before you ask, no I don't hate you. I just think you're probably the only one who can actually do it. God Speed
Hedgehog range is 180 - 190 in a straight line only. 1 shot kill on most turrets, top down, IF you can get a hit. Near miss may knock out some soft skin vehicles. Agree, should be a 2.3, but not a 2.7. Characterize this as a mobile trench mortar with a fixed, non-adjustable, range. But, as you say, "Not my circus .... no more monkeys.".
Not sure on the lower tier idea, I have been in multiple battles in the last few days where at 2.7 / 3.3 hedgehogs have dominated the battles and seemed invincible.
germany has some half decent turreted tanks, but what about giving the casemates some love to? dicker max, stuer emil, or nashorn. whichever you prefer.
