The Japanese R3, but BETTER! - Type 87 RCV - War Thunder 

I feel as tho they are using this to test out for future addtions like the BTR-80A and other wheeled auto cannon only vehicles.

TBH if this thing DOES go up its gonna have a bigger chance to fight stuff with less armour SOOOOOOO

My god, I feel bad for the ferdinand. That thing's repair cost is so damn high now and its useless at 7.3.

This is one of the few tanks which will be much better at 7.7 than at 6.7 as its autocannon can easily kill MBTs than heavy tanks.

A review on the Type 59 or the Type 63 after you get all the new things done would be cool

the issue you'll have with breaking the Is4Ms 12.7 is that it has a second in it's mantlet

- So what is Justin doing? - Running around breaking barrels and tracks - Does he love doing it? - Totally

The intro just aged like fine wine with the VBC being added

It's a nice proof of concept for adding ZSL-92(similar fast-firing 25mm gun, essentially KBA barrel with enlarged ZSU-23 action).

I'm currently playing Japan 8.7 in order to research this thing, and although I am getting stomped, I know from this video that finally researching this will be more than worth it. Awesome video, Justin!

at 8:42 justin guessed right that BR change for RCV lol

I used to play japan in the past and its ground forces were too few while the air forces were flying paper kites, but im really glad with the updates since japan got more in its arsenal and better vehicles :)

I love how that ting hawe more post penn in 1 round then AUBL 74 HVG

hey justic could we get a type 74C (the new one)? i am kind of torn about the fact that its 8.0 but barely has anything more to show compared to the STB-1 so it would be nice to see how it performs in your hands

I did not know this thing can bully Tiger IIs like that, it definitely is not staying at 7.3 lol.

I got my first ever nuke with this thing and the HoRi production It was awesome

If this things goes up it'd more than likely do better since more stuff 7.7 and above has less armour

Yo man I came here from watching phly daily, bennywe and odd etc... all they play is low tier and they are good at the game. Love your channel man much better glad I made the switch.

I dont even play japan and im fine with it at 7.3. Also really glad that it can give leopards and marders something to think about.

Could you do the Marder 1A3?

If you ever need kill assists for an event or challenge this is gonna be the go to vehicle i think.

7.3 is a perfectly acceptable BR for this vehicle. Moving it up will only make it better than it already is. This vehicle is a rare case where an uptier is a blessing as it brings you more early MBTs with wet paper for armor. A downtier, on the other hand, brings you into a BR where the armor-meta is still viable. Here, you have to face Tiger IIs, Jagdtigers, IS tanks, and the American T-series. Even with the APFSDS, you need to bet on your opponents being clueless so you can get either close enough or all the way around them. The RCV is, by no means, a small vehicle and a gust of wind can penetrate the armor, killing the sardine canned crew. It's easy to see coming and even easier to kill. Oh, you just knocked out a IS-4's barrel? It's DShK can still shred you. Oh, you managed to shoot off his roof DShK? *He has a second one in the turret.* Good luck trying to kill a T34 or T29, they have *3 .50 cals.*

Been coming across this lil guy while playing 11.0 and been caught lacking in my M1A2 lmao. I lost 12k SL to a 7.3 un stabilized Dardo....but I came back in the A1 and switched to my 50 to kill him. I love how it has a full crew compliment. Makes me wish other IFVs/LTs had their full crew like the Bradley or the bmps

I feel like the RCV is Gaijin testing the waters for other similar vehicles and using the japanese one as not too many people play japan so it won't flood the match maker

I am sad they nerfed the type 89 so it can't fire missile on the go but now it do not have mags.

Thank god I'm not playing at this br much anymore since I'm grinding the hc

as long as it cant kill heavies easily and requires half a brain to deal with them i dont see it moving it up. "gaijin statistics" are based off of the lowest common denominator. thats why the r3 stayed at such a low br for so long.

1:25 of course it should have good optics. Its meant to be a scout

Tbh I,m only at 5.0 japan but currently grinding to get this thing..Its literally just bonkers on wheels loads of fun and even if it gets upteired to 7.7 I,ll still take it .I can imagine most games in it is probably me screaming in panick for the entire match lol.

Love how my bomb landed two feet in front of that tiger yet it lives and Justin dies

I bully BMPs with this thing at BR 8.7. pretty fun lol

Imagine it's 1945, you're chilling in your Pzkpfw Tiger Ausf. B, thinking you're invincible then you have to face an FPV going 100kph and has an autocanon shooting APFSDS

I have a weakness for 6 wheeled armored cars like that

Does anyone know why they made the optic zoom for gunner sights on the stb-1 and type 74's 1X-8X? The same as the japanese sherman. It's really bad for sniping and i love sniping with my type 74's

I absolutely love this thing and I just got it spaded today and I do have to say I think it does deserve to go up to 7.7 maybe 8.0 but that will really be pushing it there in my opinion but this vehicle is very fun I'm happy I got it and maybe we can see lav 25 or btr in the future

The reason the tiger didnt die to that bomb was because he pressed the drop bombs button incorrectly. Everything works as intended in WT

this thing is as strong for its br as people think the tigers are

Fun fact: even if ou break the barrel, sometimes the tank CAN still fire, while losing alot of pen, velocity and etcetera, you can still pen slightly armored vehicles. so yea, Justin have was real lucky all the time.

playing this thing is like clubbing WWII tanks 24/7

I wish the Japanese tree had a bit more to offer in the post WW2 to modern department. The tree feels pretty bad since the STA series is mediocre at 6.3. No armor, okay guns, poor mobility.

Cant wait to see this instead of the type 87 spaa and type 89

Now imagine if the Freccia was added. Same dardo turret, wheeled, but stabilized

I bet this is even better at like 10.0 since you can kill everrything from the side

I hate how people say these vehicles are OP and they need to raise their BR. Like these things, cant go everywhere and cant face to face MBTs, you have to come up with something in order to make this thing lethal. If you succeed, you are rewarded with nice surprise kills and action... MY MBT GOT FLANKED OMG SO BROKEN, just because everyone is blind, deaf, and dumb doesn't mean autocannon fast vehicles are OP... Anyways, great video Justin.

expectation: marder, bmp reality: king tiger, is4, is6

This thing is a little meme machine in WG:RD, now I just have to decide if it's worth grinding through the Japanese post-war microwave tunnel to get to it

Didn't know they were making new BME pain olympics videos

Hey Justin can you revisit the 6.0 90mm sherman with heatfs? Some people have said its gotten good

Well if you can pen the rear and sides of a tiger 2 the 11.0 should not be a problem

Track and barrel torture

yeess my new favorite tank

Does Japanese Type 10 stay 4+ MBT gen or 5?

You could've killed the is6 from the back, i killed one with gepard's apds through the engine, my shot went through a gap next to the engine room and killed his driver

9:42 "Coup de grâa" 😂 Coup de grâce ?

This thing is actually gorgeous. Holy shit.

I see that you're into TBT*, you sadist sicko. (*Track and barrel torture)

Breach and Barrel Toruture 0.o BBT

if this gets moved up the marder needs moving aswell

As a light tank player, this thing is my absolute nightmare

Why you gotta bully that Jagdpanther!?

This thing is so annoying. I'm just tryin to play my Leo 1 and grind for rank 6 tanks, I'm playing decent, and then BAP BAP BAP, my gun and tracks are out in a second from this thing, and the enemy is advancing to kill me. :(

i think this shit would be even worse if it get to 8.3 since 8.3 most MBT are early MBT which has way lower armor than late WW2 heavy tank

Stage lll Type 99 next?

m48 super next vid now that the patch is out and the commander citv go a mirmir? 🥺

you guys think that they will introduce the freccia ifv?

Not much about the vehicle pushes it to 7.7+ especially if it's going to lose PMB09 (JSDF never serviced the round). I would prefer they just reduce damage it does to barrels and tracks.

DEJAVU I WAS ON THAT PLACE BEFORE HIGH ON THE STREET I HAVE ANOTHER PLACES TO GOO

If this thing got a stab and lost its dart belt it would be completely fine at 8.0 imo

CBT - Cannon Barrel Torture

Actually this boi worked quite well in uptier because everyone had paper armor

if it goes to 7.7-8.3 it would be easier to kill tanks

13:10 - I personally wouldn't agree with this statement at all. As someone who really enjoys 6.7-7.7 heavys and mediums, uptiers are often horrific. Being uptiered with a 7.7 heavy to 8.3 for example, is a total death sentence and I often just don't take them out at all in that situation. In contrary I am pretty comfortable taking for example a Leo A1A5 out to even 11.0. As long as the tank has at least average 105mm APFSDS, decent mobility and a stabilizer (maybe some thermals), I really don't care about uptiers when I enter the 8.7+ region. The only exeption would probably be MBT's that focus more on their armor and don't have that great mobility, like Chieftains, Challengers, Merkavas, maybe M60's.

I just want the type 10 :(

did Justin know he could pen the side of the jagpanther

It’s at 9.0 now haha

Dardo still is the king of fun

Its another falcon situation

Now give us the German luch

8.3 now

I need 6 tanks before I can get this bad boy :c

I actually think this thing sucks. I say they should give it it's stabilizer so we can uptier it and see tanks with thinner armor, especially on the sides since at 7.3 a lot of mediums and heavies have at least 75mm of side armor.

This is pretty much falcon at 7.3

Type 87 CBT

Imagine shooting apfsds to a Tiger 2

Ztz99 lll next please?

If only there was a tier where there are german tanks with weak armor

5:56 man forgot IS-4 has two .50 cals

Oh no how dare you suggest our Type 90 gets a buff in some kind bEcAUse 4 SeCoNd aUTolOAdEr. 😂

18:20 reverse danger close

I don't understand how you need 5 crew in this vehicle.

mig27m when ?!

Weirdly enough I feel like this thing would do better at 8.0

Evil

Why is this thing at 7.3, Ive been facing this annoying vehicle at 6.3 !!!!??? Cant even flank in a t-44 without being shredded by this wheeled IFV or the German bmps/Marders atgms, or out snipped by IKV 91 with its laser ranger finder, or the U-SH-405. Im not hating on this vehicle but 6.0-7.0 is a complete mess. And don't tell me its a skill issue when an IKV-91 can laser range tanks at 2kms ???!!! or atgms with 3km range??!!

I now want to research this fast before it gets moved up so I can bully King Tigers with it

Wheres LAV-25? Lol

people hate R3 so much so gaijin add another one but with bigger and better gun and put it at the BR wuth only lightly armor vehicle

please play the type 89 with the new top down Type 79 ASM ATGMs

play this tank in 8.7 and you will destroy the bmp and bmd

Is it wrong of me that I use this as a pseudo spaa?
