War Thunder: American ground forces Rank II - Review and Analysis 

Oxy's videos: GET IT - This guy is full of knowledge, I can't think of any reason you shouldn't get it. For what he is, he's one of the best in the game.

Oh you're a Sherman fan, name every Sherman variant

I just really enjoy the narrative and info even AFTER unlocking prior tanks mentioned, just good content

28:00 this whole engagement shows the average random teammate in warthunder

2.7 sherman still the only one with the smoke mortar which was standard on all Shermans... Still missing on most shermans.

"Low cariber HE have basically no meaningful applications" Its really satysfying against M10 since now its getting one-hit overpressured to oblivion by anything more than an autocannon. BTW great video

27:35 - 28:40 I didn't pay attention to anything you said, It literally looked like two kids having a fist fight and others are just minding their own business 🤣

I love how in the first M4a1 clip theres a Sherman, your Sherman, the Italian Sherman and a Chinese Sherman all in the killfeed. Sherman Sherman Sherman Sherman Sherman. Gonna be seeing them a LOT!

28:00 is so painful to watch teammates are so clueless at times

it finally arrives, i'm gonna race this series to top tier

Omg everyone stay calm its happening!

I love these videos Oxy. I have re-watched a few of them. I can't wait till you get to the M3A3. I was in a Bradley Battalion in real life and I enjoy it in game.

My favorite part about the lee is that people often forget about your hull gunner and will just keep shooting turret

42:25 Gaijin just recently confirmed the M10 is the slowest traverse of any ground vehicle. In one of their videos a comment asked for the slowest raverse and they said the M2 Medium and I think an early variant of the Pz IV. They said "[If we widen the scope the M10 is the slowest]"

Oxy's review and analysis series is as good as it gets reguarding informative war thunder content

For the Lee, it's best to take advantage of binding the "select primary" and "select secondary" weapons so you can individually aim the two guns

42:00 t34 driver hatch working properly

The wait is definitely worth it. These videos really put a smile on my face when I see them in my subscribed feed. These videos really help me make lineups too. Great vid OXY.

Burger time

Very much appreciate this series - ty for your efforts. Looking forward already to the next one! (Even listened to the ramble at the end!)

Man, these videos make me so happy when I see them in my feed. Always superb, always thoughtful. Thank you so much for your dedication to this series, fantastic work (:

Thank you for these videos as they are very informative and in depth. Really enjoy your work, so again, thanks for all you do!

Thanks for taking the time to make this, I really do love this series

Even after having pretty everything unlocked for every nation, I'm still looking forward to these videos, they're just really well crafted and the narration is simply outstanding!

These videos are always a treat when they come out. Your knowledge and genuine interest shines through even when talking about the vehicles that aren't exactly good. Don't ever rush these videos or feel like you have to make them, and know we appreciate the time and effort you put in.

I wouldn't worry about the timespan of these videos. They are very eunique and well worth the wait.

I always stood by the Sherman tanks even back when the T34s were bouncing everything back around the start of ground forces. I love every single one, even the M4A3 76 at 5.7 with it's upgraded engine and APCR. Often I find myself going on long kill streaks on all of them.

truly appreciate the effort you put into this mate, im enjoying the game a lot more since watching these.

Thank you for making these videos. It's so helpful for my friends who are just getting into the game

Oxy deserves more subs. For what he does and how good he s at this game.

Finally I can’t wait for the Rank IV video since I am grinding it now. Thanks for your content you don’t Upload often but when you do it’s always a Great Video.

Man, these videos are about always 1 hour +… yet they never feel that long when you watch. Goes to show how good they really are.

The best review/educational war thunder channel on youtube!

Thank you for the amazing video Oxy! These videos are informative, but also very nice to listen to. Don’t worry about how long it takes to make these videos though, it’s completely understandable. Take your time, make em right.

Best videos I've ever seen this is great

Oxy delivers! \o/ I can listen to these videos so many times, even if i don't play this BR much, there is always some knowledge to be found in Oxy's guides.

Hey Oxy! I'm so happy to see you uploading again, and I enjoyed this video as always. One thing that I think you should mention about the American vehicles (and I forget if you mentioned it in part 1 or not) is pretty much most of their access to the .50 caliber machine gun, being one of the best machine guns in game! It has saved my life more than a few times, and I feel like it's worth mentioning. Thank you so much for your video and I look forward to the next one!

Hey Oxy, just wanted to say this video is brilliant as always. Absolutely love the content. Top notch. Hope all is well.

27:49 he replaced his crew faster than he could reload

Holy shit, dude. Thank you for adding that note!-- I'd never heard of wax fang, and I'll be binging them for a while.

have looked so much forward to this video :D

53:39 "Hey bro i shot you but it was a joke let's team up" "Oh okay let's go" "SIKE!"

I came back to rewatch this video and have to say this: The M4A3(105) is one of the most fun tanks in the game, hands down. I’m at 8.0 in the US ground tree, and I sometimes go back to 2.7 to play it. If you play cautiously, you can literally double ace or stay alive the whole game. It’s one of my most used vehicles, and I encourage every new and old player to use it. Definitely worth the money of a Talisman.

that Sherman 105 vs Stug brawl was painful to watch. great vid looking forward to the next rank

The way you slapped those planes out of the sky with the zis LVT, so casually, almost carefree... that was just downright dirty

tHANK YOU for sharing your unparallel experienced

Ayo been waiting for this

Some of the most helpful vids ever even for a experienced player or some one new keep up the good work

I can't believe they upped the M5A1 to 2.7. Well there goes my 2.3 double Stuart lineup

Yooooo oxy these videos absolutely make my week :)))

Thanks for this analysis! Very helpful to finalise my lineup. Big chunks of silver lions disappear with the wrong choice of new tanks!

Great job! I’m excited for the rest of the tree :)

Don't worry about release schedule as your vids are always worth the wait :) Keep up the great work

I was looking forward to this. So this was quite a surprise.

Also, the M8. For those of you who wish to use it, the way you can get around the issue of aiming the gun at range is using the sight ranger. It's a setting you use to bind the mouse wheel to in the ground vehicle options. You can engage and kill at 1km if you use that sight ranger to range the gun into the target. The only issue is it does take some getting used to. But if you already know the range, it is as simple and scrolling to said range and pulling the trigger.

Honestly, the M10 really is just dependable, despite it's drawbacks. I ended up actually using it up to until I got the M36, as I really didn't like the M18 and opted to go back to the M10 for my TD slot. Same can be said for the Achilles in the British line up, there's just something about the vehicle that make it so dependable no matter the BR

I RUSHED AS SOON AS I COULD TO SEE THIS. Well done Oxy and hope to see tier 3 for US👍

So glad you made a new video loving your content please keep it up (and maybe upload more;) ) keep doing what your doing my man

Excellent videos. Actually outstanding in war thunder youtube. Informative, interesting, good gameplay. Loved it thanks.

This is it, my absolute favorite selection of vehicles in the game. Stuarts and Shermans, supplemented by some unique vehicles like the Chaffee and Wolverine. They're some of the most fun, most consistent, and most versatile tanks to play in the entire game, and yet they still feel balanced and not at all overpowered. Other nations teach you to rely on their tanks' strengths around this tier. The German guns, the Russian armor, and the British mobility. The American lineups are the perfect middle ground and teach you to go into every situation prepared for anything, and how to counter it. Now if I can just get one of my favorite tanks in history, the 75mm M4A3, I'd be even happier.

I love how all optic ports absorb any shells in this game

Love the M10, I like big guns and I cannot lie (great video, very helpful)

Truly a wonderful video

I havent played the game in months but I still watch every video you do.

How ever long it takes between vids does not matter. I will always watch!

Glad to see you going through aircraft too!

for playing the 3.7 with 2 shermans and the chaffe lineup quite extensively, the most effective way to kill a KV-1 is to shoot its gun. You sometimes can mistake a KV-1 L11 with a KV-1 ZiS 5, that have 90mm of thickness instead of the 75mm on the L11. When 75mm flat is very much do able for the M3 gun, 90mm is usually a no go as even the slightest angle will get you out of the penetration range. I usually kill the gun (or just under it, the breech that is quite exposed on those things) and then rush it to shoot the driver port at point blank range. If the KV 1 is further away, well then the best you can do is generally hide your hull and your turret cheeks if you play the M4A1 and shoot the guns and tracks to allow your team mates with more powerful anti tank guns like the M10 or the Achilles to shoot him down. If you have the M4, you're generally immune to KV 1s at range anyway

back when the M5 was 2.3, I played it like a heavy tank and rarely ever got punished. Most fun tank in the game.

Love this series can’t wait for rank 3

Love your work

With great firepower comes poor survivability

The King has uploaded!

Unless they changed it in the past few days or something, it's worth noting that the M5A1 is 2.3 now. I have no clue why, it was really good at 2.7 but it is what it is. Also Gaijin literally forgot to change the BRs of the identical prem and TD stuarts so they're still 2.7.

that aircraft double kill was amazing with the goofy Zis LVT

Ah finally, a new video, quite fine enjoyment

Saw a Chaffee in a 6.3 match and i shot it with a King Tiger and it bounced.... so I am now maining the Chaffee.

i love seeing this in my recommended

one thing about the M10's gun. it is the M7 3 inch gun as opposed to the 76 AT guns from late war. The reason for this is its actually an artillery's cannon pressed into AT roll, hence it is heavy and required quite the counterweight. while 3" = 76mm, the later 76 guns were tanks guns first and formost, hence why this is the M7 3" and sherman's got the lighter M1 76mm.

Watching you smoke the piss out of that plane with the lvt zis made my day

I’ve played the M5 as my mainstay for years . I didn’t notice for a long time they moved it up from 2.3 that kinda pissed me off once i realized this. The HE she’ll actually came in use for me as there seems to be more open spgs now than when I first started playing. Example sneak up behind one those Japanese naval guns shoot the engine then lob a He shell into cab. Yes you could use your machine guns but that also will give your position away.

9:14 - The Triple S; Sneaky Shooty Spot. Usually identified by the fact you grin wide when you get there and get a couple kills without people noticing you.

Another great vid - just gonna call out you're great use of camouflage and decals.

Awesome wideo as always.

I absolutely cruised through the M15 aa research tree, I had spaded the YAG-29 before so I understood how to fight tanks with very low armor and also fighting your own deadzones

Unlocked the 105 sherman last week, it's a monster, haven't had this much fun since I unlocked my tigers

*WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO* IT'S HERE!

Wuuuuhuhuuuuuu finally mate you are awesome !!!

I just love the decals and skins of the tanks throughout the series, they just look sexy

Despite already aced all rank 2 American vehicles Oxy’s videos are so interesting and so informative for new players

I loved using the m8, just flying around the map at mach Jesus one shotting everything I saw, felt good, granted the thing is a living definition of a glass Cannon

Personally I'd add to the Sherman's cons the poor hull traverse. But maybe that just grinds my gears...

The return of the king

great job bro.. dont stop

When you started with the first USA video, I also started playing USA in War Thunder and In thought when you drop your next video I will be Rank II and the Videos could guide me through the tree... now I am Rank V, but at the end the grind will be so slow that you can still catch up:)

Love ur vids!

Good info. Thanks

Yay more look throughs!
