M1A1 HC Click-Bait Full Review - Should You Buy It? But It Comes With A Lawn Chair! [War Thunder] 

for a premium this should be 10.7 to do premium things like turms

I like that bud.. thanks for sharing thats story

Insane story! Your grandpa is a lucky one!

Cool story

But it helps with the 9-10 hump

play the 8.7. best US tank at top tier. after that mostly loghtvtank garbage, in game

team cohesion? whats that? i dont see that on top tier

@@Kaiberus At the very least, callouts and info xD

If you want to grind the US tech tree - stop after 10.3. I'm a US main, and top tier is pain.

But the teams are something else.....

@@j.h.m.s5164 it's the player. Not the vehicle. Unless you are in the T90. Then that's just 100% bias

its very good... do you play the same game as me? play with m1AIM grinders and uptiered to 11.7 vs BVM. fake fking news

​​@@ricolives1166STRV is pure bias. Solid reload. Exceptional mobility+gun handling. The RU t90 is just a shittier STRV

@@ricolives1166no the entire game is pure bias. Why does russia get their modernized vehicles produced in 2013 while we get early 70’s vehicles.

Least they could've done was give the M1s an appropriate round period. m774 should not be on a 10.3 MBT.

⁠@@fire_drake12.arc.24exactly, m774 is way too underpowered for 10.3

I don’t blame you. I was drawn to the game because of the modern era stuff

You're sadly missing a lot....

@@NatTheGreat143 Not really. I really don't care about WW2 era vehicles. I have absolutely no interest in them. Modern tanks and jets are what I like.

​@NatTheGreat143 nope, you will literally lose nothing of value

@malithaw actually yes... premium packs are limited if you really want to experience lets say leopard 2a7v then you have to grind it out 🤷‍♂️

Literally lol

you like suffering dont you

@@darugdawg2453 yes. That's why i play war thunder

should i get it...

i have SEP and it doesnt improve. imagine playing a medium tank like a rat

@@darugdawg2453 Gaijin says that SEP stands for "Same Exact Protection"

all this trash on rooftop is triggering HE - you're getting one shotted by anyone having HE shells.

Yea if you have the AIM there is no reason to get this unless you just really want a premium

@@jaylencoats2610 yeah, i have the aim and id say its just as good (if not better) as the clickbait, the only downside being the fact that it doesnt have any DU armor or rounds

It’s the same logic as the air battles. They added the f15 and now they are adding the su 27☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ 1970’s tech

I’m a sour to buy the clickbait. I wanna get the best bang for my buck. What would you recommend Aim or clickbait?

Clickbait for grinding aim is free

Thinking of just skipping the ground rb grind for a little bit so i can put my f16c and f14b to use. Still at level 50 dont know how the grind helis

@@Joe-zh7pf I haven’t even tried flying the Helis yet. I do love me some F-16 and F-14 fun. Honestly I have way more fun in Air RB than Ground RB because it’s so painful at top tier in ground

@@mattcooper6591 yeah air rb is a little more fun its just super costly (i havent played ground rb so i wouldnt know top tier costs). Also is it just me or are having trouble purchasing ge in warthunder because the game declines any card i give it even though they all have sufficient funds, i click contact support but nothing happens.

@@Joe-zh7pf I don’t know. I only buy premium time once a year for the year when it’s on sale. $40 gets me a full year’s worth

He is my go-to guy for reviews before I need to make a decision about buying Prem vehicles

it was already on par with italy before

Good

US top tier was already trash, doesn't make a big difference. On the other hand Russia got another bullshit tank.

I have yet to lose against the US at 11.7 playing Germany and I have yet to win with the US on my team too

I think I’m gonna buy it, it’s the same price as buying a mid to high tier premium would be rn, and you get other benefits. I think I’m gonna save it for when I get closer to top tier and am a lot better at the game

@@thehook9099 I bought it. Included 2500* golden eagles. I have no regrets haha the tank is super fun but I also used the golden eagles to buy the USs Wilkinson and I am absolutely loving that ship and wrecking most of my lobbies with it

@@CHoffyCI’m new to top tier and still get kills lol

@@Evangelion_on_top yeah buddy! I think people just need to slow down and be patient with this game. Takes some understanding but can be fun

@@CHoffyC yeah sometimes I don’t get kills but I still have fun and I’m learning(as I typed this I got a kill)

Thinking about buying it right now, is it worth it?

@@TazGaming141yes

@@southernoklahomamopars6726 aite🗿

Keep in mind the vehicle has a massive weakpoint in the front but its a good all rounder. If you do get it hide the hull and as much of the turret as possible behind a hill and you will do fine. I do not reccomend it if you dont have any experience in MBTs.​@@TazGaming141

Same wont buy it looking like this

True!

Please help me bro how should I play this thing 😂

@@wolfi6476 You have to play passively. You don't have survivability and your mobility is negated by the fact that you'll face Germany and/or Sweden every match.

@@B83Nthank you for the advice, I‘m at 300 deaths and 200 kills, which is decent for someone new to ground RB I guess

Get the kvt I dont have the click bait but the standard HC and the grind with kvt is better

A real M1A1 in Iraq named Click Bait from the mid 2000s.

You want to spend 70 dollars just to do cas?

@@ichosolemanuel6048 Yep, and I did, bought the Apache premium too. An interesting experience, but in the end, quite frustrating. I'm waiting for anti-radiation missiles :)))

its not spall liners. youl be struggling to penetrating in the first place frontally. you have to play like a scared m18

@@darugdawg2453 You can totally pen frontally, unless you are a level 5 player with no knowledge of the game (darugdawg2453 reference)

​@@darugdawg2453average Abrams experience. At least the M18 can usually survive better since it has "no armor best armor" and isn't the loudest tank in the game.

Those marks you see on the sights are hash marks representing shell drop at different distances. They change depending on the velocity of the round currently loaded in your tank. Higher velocity shells have the marks closer together while lower velocity shells have them farther apart. Basically, you aim higher or lower depending on the range of your target and the round you're using. If a target is 400 meters away, you align the mark with "4" on the sight with your target and fire a shot to hit said target. It all comes with experience as different guns fire different rounds at different velocities. We recommend binding one of your keys to your rangefinder and listening to the range callout by your crew to more accurately determine range. At high-top tier with laser rangefinders, it gets way easier as it's basically point and shoot like in reserve tier.

@@icy3-1 in addition to this, i recommend to not always use your rangefinder in top tier as the apfsds shells are very easy to predict bullet drop so it would only cause more of a hassle to rangefind for each tank you see

@icy3-1 thanks, I'll try and apply what you said. Btw I'm using a ps4, any idea how I change settings on I can do some rengefinding?

@@jeffersonxyruz5016 All you really need for rangefinding are keybinds to rangefind, reset the rangefinder, and sight distance control. You'll find them all in the Controls section for ground vehicles.

​@@jeffersonxyruz5016plug in a usb mouse and keyboard, playing with a controller limits you a lot.

ok

Lmao the challenger 2, this has to be bait

The challenger 2 OES has all of the problems you said the abrams has but it has even more shitty armor and an even more shit gun. The M1 KVT is one of the best premium tanks to buy because its a very good tank for 10.3, and the m1a1 is decent at 11.3. The challenger 2 TES was already notorious for being shit. The challenger 2 is only slightly better at going hull down but it doesnt nearly outweigh all of the downsides. Also a tank being slow isnt an upside regardless of how you could possibly paint it as making you “more careful” because that same slow speed can result in death quite a lot, especially with how bad the acceleration is. I very rarely dont 1 or 2 shot challengers because its one of the worst top tier MBTs in game.

@@zee_terminator2850 takes just 3 minutes to even look at the Challenger 2. The breach weakspot is roughly just as big as the M1A1. It has a spall liner throughout the turret, it only has ammunition on the right to set off through the mantle. The Abrams is missing spall liners apparently and the ammo rack is across the whole rear of the turret. Quite a few shots will be absorbed by your breech. Again as I said, at least the Challenger specializes in something, the Abrams doesn't. the Abrams is a shitty light tank that can be heard from across the map with a horrible armor profile. It only has 30mm~ difference in pen which isn't a big deal. Typically over 500mm is all you need at that BR. The hull on the Challenger 2 is hot garbage but that's everything that isn't Russian or Chinese. It's slow but that's not hard to deal with on the maps you want to be on. You're also pretty full of shit saying the M1 Abrams, the absolute worst starter MBT in the game; is excellent. You have no armor but you have armor so you take no advantage of no armor best armor, you're a 10.3 tank with 9.7 ammunition, because that's "balance", and as usual with Abrams you have the 2nd worst weak spots in the whole game only beaten by Arietes with how massive they are. You get looked at you lose half if not all of your crew. 5s reload is only after paying a ton of eagles or earning it for free and even then it doesn't matter, it's not an auto loader and an Abrams is almost always going to be missing crew; if not you sure as fuck aren't going to tank the shot you're gonna take when you peak. If the M1 had M833 at 10.3 I would be inclined to agree with it being on-par with everything around it. As of right now all it is, is an XM-1 with an actually semi-tolerable round that isn't missing smoke launchers. If you like playing a shitty light tank with none of the benefits besides penetration (-the M1) play the Abrams. If you want to have something that is at least pretty decent at something and has a specialty, buy the Challenger. Better yet don't buy any though. None of them are actually good options but it's like comparing a manure pile from cows to a manure pile from horses.

@@anakingamez9079 I'd say Click Bait. The KVT is cool and all, but the Click Bait is a somewhat better grinder. Plus, it's a bit more on par with other tanks than the KVT is.

@@Tankenstein thanks

Are you stupid

bad ammo. bad protection. bad thermal. spall liner is the least problem you got

Would you mind explaining what spall liner is? English is not my first language

@@zweboi1094it’s helps reduce the secondary fragmentation that a penetrating shot produces. (The small red lines you see in the x-ray camera)

ty :)@@curtsauce3947

They're probably torn between the desire to milk Russian mains for Top-Tier premium money, and the desire to grossly inflate Russian win rates at top tier. If they add one, they'll make bank, but a bunch of noobs will buy into 11.3 and may cause Russian w/r's to drop below 70%

BVM relikt doest exist

wait until the christmas sale to buy anything, but whatever you buy really depends on what tree you wanna grind. the clickbait is good for grinding the us, the chally 2 oes is good for grinding the british tree. both are good in their own ways with both having certain downsides, you just decide how you want to play and what tree you want to grind to find out what tank you should buy

@@jerbyjerboa I am but sense its new it wont be on sale saddly but i'm looking forward to buy the challenger 2 OES

@@riley8038 alright man, good luck

to complete the list of differences, you should mention the lawn chair aswell, since it makes as much difference as the dozer blade does... xd

@@jaroslavsoukal3224 some of do take the time to dig in. Not many, but some. And if the chair detonates large caliber HE...

Please do not try to buy premiums ahead of your regular lineup. Both are decent at their tier if you know what you are doing. But if you don’t have a full lineup to go with that premium, then you are not doing anyone any favors. Your team, and especially yourself. It’s been proven that trying to “speedrun” with a higher tier premium is much less efficient overall.

The Abrams series as a whole suck. The only good thing about them is usually the ammunition (excluding the M1 at 10.3 it has trash ammo) do not buy an Abrams. It's not what you think it is and anyone who tells you otherwise is bullshitting you and themselves. It has the 2nd worst weakspots in the game, only beaten by the Ariete, you have to play it like a light tank that has average speed, horrible armor, and the only redeeming factor is a good gun (don't rely on it against Russian or Chinese tanks). It is objectively one of the worst MBTs in the game at top tier, almost every other tank around it is better or has SOME redeeming quality to make it better than an Abrams.

KVT is currently based on an M1, with the choice of trading side armor for cosmetics that act as spaced armor and reduce weight for even better power-weight. Does not stand against APFSDS except in a full downtier, and even that is iffy. (KVT irl is an M1A1, armor still not much to write home about, but glorious gun) M1A1 HC's DU turret inserts are reliable against all APFSDS, but remember very wide gaps between them

We ignoring the leopard 2a5, 2a6, 2a7 and PSO? 💀. Germany is doing just fine

I see you are not German top tier players,you just want to make excuses for gaijin to add 11.3 german premium mbt.

​@@unrendered821bro the OP isn't even playing at 11.7

not in game

as many as it is needed to feed the ever hungry russian high tier line ups...

I forgot the word "need"

What? You mean the click bait? Did you updated The game?

@@fodigones Yeah, the premium M1A1. I'm also running the latest version of the game because I keep getting stomped by T-90M's

Should I get wolfy or bait

@@99Yeti for which lineup?

i already avoided 9-11.7 after researching everything. enjoy your top tier

The Click Bait and AIM players are just free kills for me lol

yep i respect russian mains im a abrams player most of time i die as abrams is because of the map matching making what about you?

Best thing on him

dont do it. US top tier has very low WR because it plays like a light tank. you cant brawl vs USSR SWEDEN and GERMANY
