"If you sit in War Thunder, you win" I believe the adage goes, "If you sit and wait, no one will come. If you move, you were 10 more seconds from getting several kills and will be shot turning a corner."
There is no such thing as Russian Bias. There is no such thing as Russian Bias. There is no such thing as Russian Bias. There is no such thing as Russian Bias.
@@Sjoerdwm1981 yeah shitty thermals that wont really matter at 8.3 since every other ifv has it and also decent missile while this thing has better pen that the AP round of the begleit while being APHE + stab + way better turret rotation + smoke + is russia 7.0
@@Sjoerdwm1981The Bagleitpanzer is also an objectively better SPAA since it gets HE VT proximity fuze rounds too. The PT 76 57 should be 8.0 not 7.0. The Bagle should always be higher in BR.
What's sad is that this is a pretty good tank and I think would be at 8.3 problem is that Gajin doesn't know how to balance shit properly so you get a vehicle that's actually decent fun, but at a ridiculous low b.r and what happens is that it's repair cost is increased first and then it gets raised to 8.3 while still having the high repair cost. Same thing happened with the Swedish CV90s series.
remember r3 t20 at 3.3 lol. now that was ridiculous. r3 t20 needs to be 6.7 and this pt 76 57 needs to be 8.3. also the german pz II's with the 20mm needs to be fuckin removed or something, cant balance that firepower without throwing it up in br where its just poo
It's not that Gaijin doesn't know how to balance.. this is deliberate. Happens every time.. new vehicle enters at ridiculous BR, everyone goes nuts and pays GE to get it (or spends GE spading it if it's a tree vehicle) so they get the month or two of ridiculous over performance, then Gaijin raise repair costs and/or BR ready for the next round of premium/battle pass/update vehicles. It's a planned, proven income stream for them. The user base buys into every time, why should they change if we financially support it?
One of those vehicles that'll be nerfed so far into the ground in a few weeks that no one will ever play it again, but at least Gaijin will have suckered in enough people to buy it while it's OP.
Remember the Obj 279? People would buy that off the marketplace with GJN they likely bought with cash. That tank used to be able to bounce apfsds reliably and now look at it. What a cash grab. I bet only 1/4 of the people actually earned it through the event. Is6, when it came out, it had op armor and the gunner optic used to eat any shell possible. Look at it now. Oh yea the T29 had the same black hole manlet and the ufp was able to bounce even apds. It also had like a 10sec damaged gun breech repair time.
I love how Germans go straight from undisputed dominance at 5.3-6.0 with the early Tigers and Panthers then come off that high with a nose dive crash when they get into the tiger 2 and get uptiered literally every game. Gaijin is the master at Balancing!
@@novemberrose8563 All this could be solved with a thing called "BR decompression," but Gaijin acts like even uttering those words is like calling their mothers the "town bicycle" or something.
Idk but as a 6.3 German Main, its the best BR ever. Uptier no armor cold war except like the soviets. Downtier OP Gun and no one can pen u. Plus German M41 and Jpz basically gives you a decent fight in uptier. No sadness. Only issue I have are the dipshits of the US plyerbase doing the barrel strat.
the thing about the russian 57mms is that there basically isnt a BR where they are bad, only BRs where your opponents have better, but no tank with a 57mm has real survivability against anything 5.3 and up anyways
That sounds like the 2S38 Derivaciya PVO. That thing uses the BMP-3 chassis, 75 deg elevation, radar, APFSDS(IDK for sure), VT fuze, and 148 rounds. Even if sabor rounds are limited, the APHE rounds still have enough penetration to reliably penetrate side armor of all MBTs.
Sorry but have to disagree here 11,0 hell no the ammo is shit most of the kills being got are all side shots very little head on shots will pen. 114mm pen at 1000 and then 132 at 500km and you think at 11.o its going to survive very long lol. 8,3 would be max due to ammo hell even the HE shells are Shit it has 152g of exp compared to 3.59kg so ya good luck killing most AAA with that shell. But like I said 8.3 I would agree with but above that your asking for 100% shit games because at 8.7 you will get up tier battles majority of times hell you be lucky at 8.3 not to be up tier every other match. Just my opinion
Obviously making a vehicle this OP is almost always done on purpose. They do it to lure you into spending money on their game. It should actually serve as a good reason not to spend money on their game.
That's why I'd prefer WT to have some small subscription payments. Eg. one euro a month for non-premium account, would give Gaijin a stable flow of money while everyone could still easily afford to play the game, regardless if they come from a poor country or not.
"Oh, there you go, you found me, YAAASS!" - Phly, happiest target of an airstrike ever. Day 10 or 11: Take the Scimitar out and do some MCLOS missile CAS.
I am getting annihilated by this thing. It so damn sneaky fast and that cannon just eats anything it faces. Stabilized metal from hell is what this thing is. I play a lot but still have only made it to a little over half way to unlock this beast.
But at high BR it'll fight even more lightly armored stuff and find more APFSDS giving it's explosive filler round and paper thin armor an even bigger advantage.
Welp.... Guess I can't play at 6.3 to 8.0 for a while now that this dropped.... Hey Phly. Bring the Yak-9B into 7.0+ Ground RB and show them a little trick you learned.
Everyone predicted this when it was first announced, everyone sees the problem except the people who are in control of this shit. So tired of Gaijin and their incompetence.. watch them increase the repaircost by 10k next whilst also increased the BR to 7.3.. and then they increased the repair again and make it 7.7 before it gets put at 8.0 with another repair increase, and then everyone stops playing a PT-76 with 30k repair at 8.0, which only leaves a few people that keep the stats high so it will end up 8.3 with a 40k repair.
Half a second reload 57mm autocannon on a fast chassis, equipped with stabilizer and laser rangefinder. It has to be on 8.7. What were they thinking putting this on 7.0?
I was thinking 8.0 (comparing it to ZSU-57-2 and Chinese version) but you're right, it should be 8.3 because of better mobility, spotting ability, stabilizer, better reload, and laser rangefinder... Never mind, I talked myself into 8.7 lol
A lot of people are complaining about the stabilizer on the tank and I don’t think that’s really that much of an issue or well I think it’s a bit over powered is that this thing has a laser range finder at 7.0 Making it the most lethal light vehicle at any range especially considering the 57 mm auto cannon carries penetration better at range than a smaller diameter
Heya Phly, can you try out the Air Defense Anti Tank System (ADATS) as a Brawler? Its Phull Auto Missile system and Meme armor provide the most AIDS inducing combo in the game. (Day 45)
it's the same br as the zsu-57-2. sure it had a few more bells and whistles. but it does the same thing more or less. I've not played it yet, but this will fit nicely into the 7.0 Russian lineup with the t-44-100, is3, zsu572, su9/11, and the object 279? I forget what the is3 td is called.
Yeah I saved you life at 16:14 hahaha This thing is so busted, I have gotten 3 nukes with it so far, its stupidly fun and it slaps so damn hard 7.3/7.7 when?
"I play this game a lot so I know where to go on the maps....... oh you guys hear that?" audience "hearing nothing" "Sounds like a centurion" audience "wait you know tanks by sound?!"
Gaijin sure does seem to employ a lot of hamsters so I wouldn't be surprised Also, the PT-76, good? I'm pretty sure those words can't grammatically go together
*** t h e b e g e l e i t p a n z e r *** ??? -stab +atgm If this thing gets moved, gtfo with the begleit shit with it as well to 8.3+. Unless then the wehraboos start crying and the snail appeases them as always.
Day 34: We want the whole "Phly Album", its almost done (Long Range Yeets, The Missile Knows Where It Is, The Final Countdown...), just put them all on one LP and I will buy it.
Well I'm sure they'll "balance" it by making it cost 10k silver lions like all the British tanks with a stabilizer around this BR because they are so overpowered and devastate the battlefield.
I am trying desperately to find one of the first of these videos I ever watched where Phly "sings" Bridge on the River Kwai (beep-bop, beep beep beep beeeeep-beep beep.., fleep-flop, fleep fleep...etc.) It cracked me very much up (I came very close to losing bladder control) because it is exactly what I do when I play, and it annoys the crap out of my kids. I wanted to show them that I'm not the only one, and that this is normal behaviour.... or wait... maybe more accurately, that I am not the only one to exhibit this abnormal behaviour. It's this sense of humour that got me watching these videos more than anything. Phly, thanks for keeping this a game that is meant to be fun, seems like some take it way too seriously.
I'm a newer player. Got myself to Russian 7.3 and decided to buy this since I loved the pt-76-B and the BMP1. It's a fucking monster when ran right. New favorite tank :)
The thing with BR is. They messure it on players performance . That's the biggest afil of Gaijin. In the army they teached aus this simple rule of deployment "Impact>Cover>Hiding" meaning the most important thing is your impact on the battlefield. If you can't get a good impact, go for a good defensive cover. If you can't find good cover, hide yourself. These should be considered in WT. I think the primary weapon of a vehicle is the most valuable trait (Impact). After that I would say it's mobility (Impact/Cover). And at least it's actual armor value (Cover). Autocanons, despite the all in all lack of penetration and after penetration in comparison to a MBT gun, have a way grater impact due to the shere amount of shells they send of. 20 Rounds of 100mm pen per minute have a greater chance of penetrating a weakspot, than 3 rounds of 200mm pen per minute. But the RoF doesnT seem to even come up in the BR descision making process. That's why highspeed autocannon tanks and armored cars dominating the battlefields on WT. Yeah on paper 67mm of pen looks weak. But with 600rpm of 67mm you'll find your way in! And also Armor is the last important feature of a tank in WT because there are always weapons that nullify even the strongest armor, making 150mm steel as effectife as 10mm steel. So why having a 250mm steel behemoth when you can evade hits with a 5mm armored car, zooming around the battlefield?
and heavies cost more spawn points to bring in lol. explain that one?! apparently Gaijin still believe armour > anything even though it hasnt been the meta for years
I love the fact that an M56 drove past you, as if to exentuate the point that this thing is grosly OP for it's BR, especially in comparison to some of the other vehicles
I feel like it should be 8.0 if compared to the Begleitpanzer. Yes the PT has a stabilizer, a better round and a better turret. But the Begleit has a missile that allows it to deal with heavy things from the front and at range if needed, it has thermals and the proxy round for choppers and planes to defend itself. So it could be warranted that the Begleit is 0.3 higher. But the PT should be right there with it, that thing is wicked
Once you get the HEVT round for begleit there's no reason to use anything else. You can overpressure anything you could kill with the APHE, like Bradley's and BMPs, and the ITOW is more than enough for everything you couldn't kill before anyways.
How to get rich: 1.Release an op tank as battepass vehicle. 2.Profit by selling it. 3.Ruin the game. 4.Balance it after the battlepass is over. 5.Repeat.
I agree 8.3 but also they should give the gun an overheat and cooldown period so that after say 10 shots you gotta cooldown for 5sec... similar to the Crusader AA
I crit an Object 906 with my Leo 1 and left. Thought it was one of these machines of death. I didn't see his team mate in the T55M who finished my game. Time to go back to BR4 until this this gets changed. At least the my Maus might have a slight chance.
Happy Thanksgiving phly. I was wondering if you can showcase low Russian br. Im somewhat tired of kv1s and t34 considering im just getting to low France and Italy.
Stock PT-76 is already something that should go up. Yeah, put 1951 light tank with HEAT rounds from like early 60s against mid-war 1942 vehicles - great job hamster on picking its BR...
I must be a potato because i hate that massive barn of a "scout" also the heat always seems to get absorbed by some bull or another. Bequeath thy great wisdom that i might not hate this pile.
76mm heat is absolute dog ass. If the alternative wasn't APCR, I'd use anything else. The pt-76 can support nearby friendlies well through scouts and wounding shots, but it's far from OP.
@@blackwoodsecurity531 thats all it is to me. I just use it to make peek shots and keep enemies lit up while hiding in the pack hopeing to RNGESUS that arty doesnt 1 tap me as par or some random plane just sneezes in my general direction
Challenge Request: German little and large challenge. Take out the Fw200C-1 in Tank RB and get three ground kills. Or if that isn't entertaining enough, take out the Ju87D-5 with the 7.92mm Gun Pods and get three combined air/ground kills with guns only. Have fun. Attempt 412.
Gaijin: What if we took the ZSU-57-2, a vehicle that excels at killing tanks, removed a gun, and the made it smaller, faster, gave it smoke, scouting, arty, and vert stabs, all while keeping at the same BR. Is balens comrade.
Day 85: Hey Phly! Please play the Tiger1P (Pz. Bef. Wg. VI (P) ) again :) You can also combo it with the Fw 190 F-8, or the Do 335 B-2, havent seen that monster in a while!
