He did play it, 2 years ago, in the video "M60A2 Starship & SMOKE SHELLS (War Thunder 1.69 New Tanks)" He plays it the last 1/3rd of the video- not sure if that floats your boat though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yep, and once again Phly forgot to give credit (link or name). Thankfully I knew from the start what song that was. The funny thing was I thought I accidentally started playing that song since it was in my media playlist. But when I paused the video I realized it was part of the video.
46 second ago.....jesus , This is the First time RU-vid put out this video on time. "Feels like I cannot Pen anything at all" *Murders the 1/3 of the enemy team on the flank* Stalin is proud of you*
It's fairly trash though, as you have to play the t3485 to get aswell, and that tank is worse than the equal tiered panther in every way... And the t44, has a horrible gun...
@@nuclearjasper9523 Yeh still a good thousand of players at some point of the day and 500 at least at all time, =Divided= shitty servers are the most famous.
@@tobyaspden1366 you are playing it wrong then. You must flank as much as possible and avoid engaging strong targets frontally. The gun it has is sufficient to deal with most targets if you know where to aim, just a few exceptions but you have APCR and most importantly speed and mobility for those.
@Đào Đức Đạt what are you complaining about? All of them were nerfed and the t44's 85 is now closer to things like Kwk36 and the US 90mm and compared to things like the Tiger and M26 you have a lot better speed and mobility. The t44 is a flanker. Not to mention it also benefits from the well known soviet slope modifier. T44 is perfectly suited to fight 6.7-7.3's, have you ever played the M26 during the soviet 7.3 spam around a year ago when you were constantly fighting IS-6's, T-54's? That was impossible.
Poor peasants, work for me and I might consider paying you. Though, how come everyone has issues with economy, except me... Guess I'm too good at the game.
Hey Phly! I noticed all the sounds in your game sound much more... amazing. I mean, the planes, the tanks firing, even the ambience of other tanks just sounds so much more realistic. Do you have a link to whatever mod you have that changes the sound files, or if not Phly, does anyone know what he is using?
"I feel like i can't penetrate anything" yeah,story of my life when i take T-44 for a spin and if I combine it with t-34-85 and Is-2 its a match vs 7.0 90% of the time
"How do I penetrate Tiger II from the front with this thing?" One sentence that perfectly describes everything that's wrong with Russian and German heavy tanks in this game...
@@a.t6066 yeah back then you could only kill it with very few tanks. Nowadays multiple tanks can now kill it. The tiger 2 used to be in 7.0 back then and the tigers where at 6.0
@@deusexmachina8112 the tiger 1s used to suck because of the br,abd the tiger 2 used to be, and still is incredibly OP, the only soviet tank that could kill it in one shot is the is2 (only through a tiny weakspot) , yet the tiger2, can kill a is2, from anywhere in 1 shot... So it is really unfair... The soviets acctually suffer the most at mid tier, and Russian bias is not a thing, just play soviet tanks, and you will see
What do you mean? For the is 1 and 2,just shoot the turret or the front untangled plate, or the lower plate... For the is3 and 7,there is and easy shot into the weakspot, right under the turret.... If you can't killsoviet tanks, you either got horribly uptiered, or are a terrible player
the T-44 basic variant is probably one of my favorite tanks in the game. It's decently fast, and a great armor profile for the BR. Took so many shots right to the face by really big guns, and was able to shrug it off.
Phly, I've never seen you play the Chi-Nu II before... I just recently got her myself and oh she is absolutely lovely. You should give her a try some day!
As a person who was grinding tanks like all other peasants do, situation where i can't pen anyting because of my crappy gun on my carppy tank is quite normal...
I appreciate. Also the way you play the T-44 is to be aggressive set sneaky. You have the ability to go pretty quick and bring all that armour and a decent gun. The T-44 is not meant to really take on tanks head on but it can in quite a few situations.
Finally you get to this tank, it’s the direct successor to the t-34! While we’re on the missed vehicles series, play the I-185 m-71 with an amazing climb rate for 5.0
Yo Phly, i've been using the T-44 for a while now. and actually you can use just the 365A-APHEBC or the 367-APCBC to pen the Tiger II's. just aim at the front right or left of it's turret, close to the edge, and you should either pen 2-3 of the crew or get an ammo rack and get it destroyed...though chance of it is like 67-70% chance of happening. and if that doesn't work, then the right side of the frontal armor has a weak spot near the tracks and you can ammo rack it easy.
I had a T shirt idea , not sure if its in time or you could just use it later. A pair of hands as if they was holding balls except 2 Abrams down low on the shirt and it says " you gotta have Abrams !" It would work with any heavy tank like maus , IS 7 , ect. Good vid
I always said that the Tiger 2's (and T29 back then) were op, especially the Tigers 2, being IMMUNE in the front agains many tanks is a pretty CLEAR indicative of an op tank, specially because it does have a turret, it is not that slow and the cupola is small, not weak and very tall so its even harder to hit....but hey, easier to bring down every other tank down on b.r. and leave the problem as it is so many tanks cant kill it frontally AT ALL
Try facing the tiger 2 with the m26 Pershing... gotta go for that tiny machine gun port or the cupola on top. I was so happy when I got the super Pershing that could just completely one shot the tiger 2 through the front turret plate. It was a very painful grind though. Most of the time, when I saw a tiger 2, I just assumed I was dead unless I was very very lucky.
I used to play the base T-44 a heap when I was grinding the soviet tree, at 6.7 it can kill literally anything efficiently except the Tiger II (H), which you have to get a side shot to reliably kill.
I remember that I've killed M46 with T-44, on Sands of Sinai from "C" (give or take, it's about a distance), the enemy was on the other side of the map in those pesky mountains up the road far beyond A. Try it with the optic of T-44 :D
this tank has a hidden stat you get the stalins hand ability where he will grab the enemy's shells and guide them away from your tank or make them bounce this ability will also guide your shells miraculously into the enemy's tank
FUN FACT: The place where people were sent isn't called a Gulag. Gulag was the Main Administration of the Camps, and the camps themselves were called (at least here) Łagier. I don't rly know if there is a english word for it.
The KV-220 gets uptiered to 6.7 and it has no chance in hell against Tiger 2's or other vehicles at that calibre as it only has an 85mm gun with only APBC
russian 7.3 i feel isnt the best. however ive learned to enjoy it as much as i can and not get mad at others. the t44 may have a rlly high repair cost but when u get a good flank and go beast mode its rlly fun. i usually dont make alot of money using it but ive just learned to calm down hahah maybe some can relate?
T-44 may not be able to frontally oen a tiger II H, but the tiger ii H can't pen a decently angled T-44 either. Speaking of, the T-44 is an angle monster because of its strong side armor and trolly turret with the very nice angles it has. I've honestly had better luck using the T-44 as a heavy tank than I've had using IS-2 1944, Tiger I or Tiger II H.
It's a brawler. Your armour will bounce a lot of shells, and you have the speed to pull some crazy stunts, even more so in arcade. The T-44-100 doesn't have that as it faces a lot of HEAT-FS...
You don't need APCR if you play this little beast as you should. I think it's one of the most criminally under rated tanks in the game. The mobility and low profile allow you to scoot around and shank people from behind very easily. The majority of the time I'm still shooting BR365A out of it.
I played T-44 in wot a lot, it can hardly pen anything, has close to no armour for its tier. Only good thing about it was speed, but its very hard to utilise that advantage in closed small maps But afterwards you can unlock T-54 and trash anyone, you see some heavy tank,load HEAT shells that can pen like 330mm of armour,totaly OP.
I always carry APCR's, but about 20-40% less than the regular shells. When I am not playing RB, but I am playing AB (since I am Germany main player atm.), I tend to face them as well, so I pack APCR just to penetrate Tiger 2's cheeks.
