It's the most accurate quote I can think of for WarThunder. I once flat-on hit a t34 from 100m in the side of the turret with a sturer emil 248 mm pen round... flat on the middle of the turret's side. It didn't penetrate. It scored a hit, so not a ghost shell... it just... magically did nothing. The t34 just turned its turret and wasted me. That's when I uninstalled. This video is phly's reaction to a shit vehicle, but it's my reaction to all of the shitty situations this game creates haha.
And it's so very true. I wish somebody had said to me in the beginning,(i am now lvl 74 and am taking it a bit more seerious,i always just played just to play and spent about 5 minutes in every battle before being killed)do NOT take this game serious because you will loose your sanity very fast,in about a half a month or so. 😂
It truly is an "almost fun" game, the seesaw teeters on but never quite gets there because every dopamine hit is immediately followed by frustration after frustration.
Just for information about the 140mm ACRA missile launcher: 1-) the ATGM cost about 1 000 000 francs (french currency; which represent 10 000 000 new francs - or 1 500 000€ ~ more or less) - due to the ammo cost, the project was shut down few years later (only the AMX-10 & AMX-30 got an ACRA variant) 2-) there is a 2nd ammunition for the use of the 140mm, it's an unguided HE rocket; which isn't a 140mm (like the ATGM) but a smaller caliber.
All that money building and manufacturing an advanced ATGM like that, only to load it in a non-turreted, central-mantlet based chassis What were the French thinking? Just fire it out of a tube lmao
@@Mister_Clean from what i heard, the 152mm of the M551 Sheridan and some other thoughts were the inspiration. As "armor" lost most of its worth with the new 1950's shell (Sabot & HEAT rounds), it was thought that Missiles would replace any classic anti-tank weapon (more accuracy, possibility to guide beyond visual range). The ACRA is from the 1970's - at that era, Western Europe was hiding / protecting itself from a Soviet Invasion with as " 100 missiles for 1 soviet tank " or something similar. Plus if you think about it : a guiding system for the ammo would still be more efficient than a cumbersome stabilizer for a turret = to give idea on the Tank Fighting Policy: in the 1960's, it was more or less estimated that T-55's serie would be efficient around 1,3km, while the 105mm L/7 would give a range of 1,5km - meanwhile the french 105mm F1 was given up to 2,1km with its special OCC F1. An anti-tank missile would go easily above those range (as long as the guidance would allow it). Longer range than the enemy = safer & more disrupting for the enemy = politicaly an auto-win.
@tirushone6446 Doesn't that one also fire conventional ammunition as well as ATGMs? (I might be wrong)... And the Sheridan has a fast turret with great traverse. There's nothing wrong with ATGMs in War Thunder, so long as you have the mobility and actual tank ammunition. But you'll often find yourself saying "if I had just used HEAT/APDS/APHE, I would have gotten that kill". That's just how it is. The abomination featured in this video is a different story. Limited to only barrel fired ATGMs and a cannon that's stuck on the upper front plate? Yeah, nope
@@Mister_Clean yeah the sherridon had gun heat as well. I was just wondering if I was missing something but seems its all fine. just seems like a fun tank, fast turret and tracks, a stabaliser, and a 150 mm cannon for blasting your enemies back to the lobby
Phly, you've brought back the "Everybody" intro right? Well, there has been a certain song kinda stuck _In My Head_ phor a while that you could also bring back! Attempt # 615 The song i mean is Virtual Riot - In My Head (feat. PRXZM)
They could've added the AMX-10P, a combat proven IFV which is the same chassis with just a 20mm on top and it would've been better. There's apparently some variants of the 10P with a Milan launcher attached and it still would've been better. But no they had to go for the trash, useless prototype that never saw action instead because of course they did.
Phly, after watching your videos, I did what I said I'd never do, and actually focus on playing tanks. You made it look so fun and easy, and while I'm (sometimes) having fun, I'm finding out now that its not so easy (especially since I'm making myself play RB instead of AB now). I'm most impressed by how you don't even have to use the rangefinder, you just know right about what distance to fire at. I'm proud to say that after 4 hours of playing with 1 kill to show for it, I got off and watched an episode of The Golden Girls. After that though, I got back on and to my surprise, actually started getting a kill or 2 in my matches, even well enough to do some CAS in a Mustang. As a pilot with around 15 days in game flight time between AB and RB, I'm finding tank gameplay pretty hard to get used to. I can't tell you how many times I've scoped in on accident because I'm used to that being my throttle.
OMG this video made my day. I feel a little bad that I found hilarity in the suffering of another, but I had tears in my eyes from laughter. Then again, I play War Thunder, so we are all suffering together.
*Begin Transmission* Day 99. This is one of those abstract vehicles that I never heard of. The AMX-10M. Kinda like a French version of the German Kanonenjagdpanzer, no? That sorta wedge shape on the front is one of the more unusual designs. . . . Reminds me of the T26E4 Super Pershing. *End Transmission*
So I guess the channel is over, I never have felt bad for unsubbing but this one hurts, one of my favorite channels ever, it'll suck without you Phly, I'll do a 21 cannon salute later today
Obviously an awkward vehicle, but 7.3 France is loaded with good stuff, so you can just take it out when the map fits it. That reload and missile speed are very good.
Day 4: Hey Phly, we haven't seen the Sturmvogel Me 262 A2-a for years and i really would appreciate that. And as the new german battlepass vehicle SPz 12-3 is br 6.7 aswell you may can show this one aswell. Love your content bro.
I laughed so hard when you extolled the virtues of how much ammo it carries at the beginning of the video... And so conveniently placed close to the exterior! You could call it... Extremely ablative armor. Lol
Day 16 of supporting lonkbred in his request to PhlyDaily who WILL eventually see him, as he saw the su-5-1 8 kill comment which also went for over 400 days...soon my friend...soon
What's funny is I asked in a few games how they would feel if Gaijin made a few esports style tank maps. Evenly playing field for both teams, fairly symmetric. Overwhelmingly people said it was stupid. Tbh I'm flabbergasted in that response.
Gaijin likes to tout their real life accurate maps, and then they forget that historical/real life locations are incredibly unbalanced. If Gaijin had professional game developers and not just a team of outsourced 3d modellers to make maps to exact real life replicas then the game would genuinely play so much better
Day 107, we've seen the Sturmtiger and ASU-57 at top tier, Now we want to see the RBT-5 at top tier WITH OddBawz and Spookston, with air support from Defyn.(thanks to @Torrengen for the Defyn idea)
What doesn't help is that Gaijin systematically removes sniping and flanking spots from maps, artificially cutting them down, or remaking maps to where their playable area is smaller and smaller.
@@wallachia4797 this is another point, most maps have some good spots who are remove, forcing everyone to go to same spot, is like gaijin want a arcade more then a realistic game
@@arleysebas742 basically yes, and this is most reason, why right now I losting my interesting in the game, is becoming something like COD, arcade thing, who I really dont enjoy, tanks are made to fire at distance, but here is leopard 2a6 x abrams in 10 meters distance boring
I pity those who will never bare witness to the Street Arc of the PhlyDaily channel! Users could make much better maps than Gaijin ever will. It's like they want the game to feel more like CoD than a simulator of sorts...
Welcome back Phly Day: 188 Back to business: The Streetwatcher is back Boys yeeee My Request: Btw i saw you have the M48 Suuuuuuuuuuper but you never even made one vid about it so why don't you do M48 Super aka Go-Kart Patton (at least in arcade PvE🙃) And because you want to play a combination take the IL-28 out with its FAB 3000 for some multikills -no Phly Decal -no Tigor
i dont know why gaijin ruin the maps so hard........ i remember the jungle before 2 years.. and 2 changes.. that it was good map.. the same with the 90% of the maps that they manage to ruin...... people ask them to just fix the spawn camps.. so people dont spawn rush.. and what did they made.???????? an ARENA so people dominate.. and spawn rush........ amazing??????? YEAAAAAAA!!!!! + the nerf on US and French missiles is stupid....... a missile that leaves with X speed from the barel or the tube.... DOES NOT DIVE DOWN.. and after 200 meters straight it self so can be in a line with the target......... the missile nerf that gaijin did ........ if it was in real life those missiles could never reach the production cause of the danger of killing your tanks your people.. or something.. those missiles could be unsafe for military use.. so ..
Phly jokes about being anti-air, but it's surprisingly good at just that. The ATGMs are quite nice for chopper deletion, too. What it cannot do is take any kind of return fire, as a hit will either kill a crew member, crippling half your guns- or just blow your breadbox into orbit. Find narrow lanes- even ones that go out to long distances - and wait for some poor shmuck to cross your ATGM path. Distance is not protection for your breadbox, either- only hard cover, since rangefinders are common at this BR anyway and you are a one shot yeet-and-delete even against small guns. Sorry, Phly. This one was mostly a "how to make toasted baugettes" video.
His emotions in this video captures 80% of every War Thunder player ever. Lol. It's like I'm having fun with every nation till about 5.5/6.0 then it just becomes the worst experience ever. Except Israel your forced to suffer from the get go, sure the cannons shred enemies but all's they have to do is sneeze in your general direction and dead.
Day 106 of asking for you to play anny of these tanks (basically the same) the italian m14/40, m15/42, m14/41, m13/40, the 2 I always use are m14/41 and the m15/42 with the APBC
Funnily enough they could've just added an AMX-10P with a Milan launcher on the back (similar to how the SPz M40A1 LGS works) and that thing would've probably been better.
*french munitions officer* Hey, anyone remember when in World War 1 We made those tanks that were incredibly weird Looking and awkward as hell to use? *tank corp* yes....? *officer* we made a updated saint Chamond: enjoy! *tanker* merde
In so glad i researched and bought the vehicle thats after this thing before it released. Annoyingly i was researching tge AMX-10 which was on the right line bit after the update they moved it to the lect tree so i had to research the mars-15 before i coukd get the amx-10rc. But the mars 15 turned out to be absolutly amazing.
This thing looks like a Cannon just thrown into a brick with tracks ... or a Tissue box with a cannon sticking out of it...like wtf I wouldn't want my friends to see me in this thing if I was in the French military, it must have been a joke or something. It's like a French hoopty
Day 538: Phly, I challenge you to the conphusing aerial smokescreen challenge. Destroy three enemy aircrapht with smoke shells in a single game. Good luck. o7
"They could have added a Honda Civic with C4 attached to it and it would be more fun and efficient..." Phly, you basically just advocated for suicide car bombs.
i honstly agree with you man. i don't know when did warthunder get so bad like im not having fun anymore and the game is just bad at this point. you spawn die, spawn die and repeat for the next few games before you ragequit. i really want Gaijin to fix this game because i've had a lot fun on it in the past 🙏
Does that thing float in the water ? Blood Pressure Thunder, war thunder isn't even war thunder anymore Phly says EVERY map "This is a really great map" then let down
gaijin be like oh people waited 6 months for a new update here some no one asked for vehicles and some completely useless vehicles like in this video the rest are copy paste but with some different letters but enjoy another 400 000+ RP just for those extra letters
I feel like they have removed most large map from rotation at all tiers. They want us to have short lifes were we gain less Rewards When was that last time *you* seen and played on Reddesert? For me it was like 6 months ago in a simulator battle (5.7 ish)
As we see how Gaijin is changing historical maps to something else they might aswell skip the whole "historical" part and make some good and fun maps for a change. For someone who have made such great game they sure make a lot of turd maps.
so i just got the 15cm german meatball launcher for 1.0 and i gotta say, i have no frickin clue how to raise the gun, im using the PS4 but when i do get hits, its almost a guaranteed kill
yeah gaijin has really ruined all the maps that they have changed. they really hate their players. it seems like they track my every game and watch where i go and then the next update its off limts. becuase they cater to the cry babies within their own company when we destory them. and they wont take care of the ESP OVERLAY NOSKILLED HACKS. because they are the ones using it too
perhaps the best vid phly has ever made. he apparantly is one of us. wt maps are generally getting worse, especially since they block off high areas, to make everyone slug it out in hallways. thats the first thing that makes me not want to play anymore.
Please teach me how to play war thunder I just played it for a month now If I charge head first, I dead If I go carefully and let my team go first, all the enemy dead and I got nothing And then there is plane Fuck
90% of my problems with missiles like this is the frigging dip on firing making it infuriating to find a firing position that will work without you wasting the shot and/or dying for it. Remove the dip gaijin
Yes Phly, this is a terrible vehicle but you have to understand that these are your funniest videos and I could honestly watch a whole hour of you struggling to get into position with this thing only to get killed immediately.
Phly, please use your dev powers to get a "watching the streets" decal in game. I would 100% get that and join you and many others watching the streets
it's really fun watching Phly devolve into the 1 and done garbage ground player that plagues the game Mans just sits out in the open pretending that he's in a vehicle that can survive trades
this is what happens when is3, is6 and is4m players think pen is everything, never realizing how much they themselves can pen and oneshot and how often they dont realize their armor has saved them.
Been grinding France for a while and desparately wanted a new AA since there are none between 4.3 and 8.3. Seems like this is as close as we'll get which is such a shame.
