So, for the Panzer IVs, you can go with: The G = Good, the H = Hmmm and the J = Joke

25:47 WarThunder is a masterpiece with absolutely 0 exploits

This series is amazing. Dont worry about the length of these videos. The content and quality of this series is amazing and is very much appreciated! Keep it up!!!

5:26 "it's just a bit overkill" I think that phrase was said more than once, when designing many of the German vehicles and weapons

Shows 20 minutes of video of killing everyone that comes near him. "Verdict: Avoid it" Should show video of the Cons

"Im bad at spaa" *obliterates a plane using a tank's main gun instead*

Nobody: Oxy @ every tier 3 non-premium german tank: G R E A T F I R E P O W E R

I've been playing WT for years now. Heck I started back when there were 20 tiers. And while I'm far from having completed any of the tech trees I think I am familiar with most vehicles in the game (excluding naval). But there's something nice about listening to you describe each and every one in detail. And I do often either learn something new about a tank or consider using it in a different way thanks to your work. That and I kind of treat these videos like podcasts, listening on while I do something else and shifting attention when something catches my ear. So thank you for your work!

actually, at this tier, the panther was my fave, iunno, just always seemed to work well. it always seems to have just enough speed, armor, and firepower, regardless of situation, that it didn't require too much adaption to maps

"this tank has great depression" it's crippling depression especially if you are a sherman

56:40 I'd love 4.3 sec reload on my KV-2 too :(

57:19 that small edit on the T-34 I love it hahahahaha

23:18 Although it definitely does assist in HEAT protection, the plates were installed to defeat Russian anti-tank rifles during the early stages of Barbarossa. It also has an L/48 gun, whereas the F2 and G have the L/43 gun.

Hang on... why the hell was Sweden added when there are still panzer iV’s without modelled machine gun and drivers ports

Oxy, these reviews are invaluable to me, I am a beginner to WT having started 6 months ago and together with the help from your Ultimate beginners guide I have now started to progress up the tank trees, I am just coming up to the top of tier II now, I hope you will be able to produce similar guides for the Russian and American lines soon too. Many thanks for taking the time to produce these for us.

1:07:00 the 15mm guns dont use cement core, it's cermet, which is ceramic metal like tungsten carbide.

'take it in your pace'. Ok, will do. In one go. With a lot of going back.

New subscriber. This is exactly the video series I wanted for War Thunder. Simple, shows off the tanks abilities, easy to understand. Love it

Great job as with all other tech tree reviews. I was surprised to find that I agree with 95% of your opinions. Especially regarding the British, it is way too popular to disregard their 7.3 (to be 7.7 soon) line up because of APDS ammo, and Challenger I lineup due to overall performance. On Pz.Bfw.IV, jeez that is expensive for such useless vehicle. Long time ago I received it for free from some kind of event, for the life of me cannot remember what was the event.

Love your content. Quite possibly the most useful and informative content for War Thunder on RU-vid. Thank you for all of your hard work!

It's funny that the Panzer IV H is now 4.0 which makes the J even more irrelevant since you have the superior Version at the same BR

Congrats on 20,000, Oxy, you deserve more. And don't worry about video length, I feel like most just watch these videos and forget about the passage of time.

Great content as always! I was really excited to see this vid come up in my feed. German 4.0 - 6.7 is my fav part of GF to play. Can't wait to see the next in the series. Keep it up, amazing work.

Hello Oxy, I did a bit of reaserch and found out that the "smoke grenades" on the Tiger H1 are actually mine launchers instead of smoke grenades. Fascinating!

Just the fact that you are so humble about your 20k milestone, which is **huge** should get you another 20k subs! Keep up the incredible quality vids mate!!

The quality of your work is simply stunning. Tank you very much.

Thank you for your videos! This series really helped me out finding the perfect tech tree for my playstyle. Keep up the good work ^^

This video is FANTASTIC! I’ve been playing WT since September 2021, long time gamer (Xgen) playing on PS4 and all AB. I was doing okay on American and German trees but struggling with the Tigers. Watched your vid last night and on 2nd/3rd matches this morning I had back to back 3 kills with the H1! Just a dream to play as you directed. What’s more I watched your Rank 1 German tank vid this morning and have been having a blast with the Pz.II C/F and the Sdf. Premium tank. Just having so much fun Thank you so much! I look forward to watching all your WT vids! I prefer yours because you are excellent at voice work! Hope you get some voice work in UK, documentaries or something!

22:50 “Decent”? * *laughs in German Churchill/Kv1b/t-34* *

Agree, this series is gold! Thanks!

thank you as I am using the Tiger 1 this is very helpful for me knowing how to use my tank as it should be. Much appreciated.

Meanwhile in a 6.7 battle Me: angles Tiger 1 armor perfectly Enemy tanks with 200mm+ penetration: Goes through and 1shots anyway...

these videos are fantastic even if you dont play the country the video is about, its worth learning the strengths and weaknesses of all the vehicles in the game. Best war thunder content creator in my opinion, keep it up, the subscribers will start flooding in more and more as your videos get the attention they deserve.

The Hetzer is a BEAST in Conquest mode. Since there's only one cap, you can just point your front armor in the general direction of the enemy, and then it's point and click. You don't have to worry about flanking unless your team overextends or is lagging behind.

Out of all WT content creators, you are making one of if not the best guide series

Brilliant video Oxy thanks for your efforts with these great posts!

Awesome and high quality production!!! Thanks!!

I've had so much fun spading the Sturer Emil aka a Jumbo Slayer. I know it is technically terrible, but slaughtering Jumbos is just too funny to pass up on lmao. Ironically I had a better time with it than with the Dicker Max

Well done Oxy, good video as always. Congrats on the 20K subs.

Another great video oxy, very helpful too as I’m trying to unlock German tier 3

excellent, I really enjoyed that.it was nice to sit and relax with a cuppa and chill out for a while, cheers.

I love your videos on this I’m a really experienced player who already has all these vehicles but it’s really informative and interesting I love hearing a new interesting perspective on it ❤️

Love your reviews they are very interesting and more importantly help me to learn more about even vehicles i don't come across often

I started to watch this because, of course I wanted to know your opinion on the Tiger, anyway what blew my mind is how do you don't have a million subscribers! Great videos, informative and very useful! I really hope your channel grows a lot, you deserve it cheers!

Just came home from a (for me) tough run, showered and changed bedcovers. Now laying in my fresh ass bed with a nicely tired and cleaned body watching a killer WT video. I feel like i'm in nirvana. I'm ready dad.

you may not have many subscribers but you deserve more for the effort you put into your content. you really care about new players to the game and i respect for that. subscriber earned.

*NOTE OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE* : I have spaded and aced the pz4 H and I love it. Yes its armor ain't too useful at its br but the gun still claps and the mobility is ok. This thing claps cheeks if you play it it's a worse light spg with a turret. I love the pz4 line and this is a beauty

Fantastic content and insight again - thank you!

It looks like you're playing on Mars on that desert map holy color shading

Great choice in skin for the tiger. The ferdinand with the red primer skin and stuff written on it looks just as amazing

This is very helpful! Especially the lineup recommendation

thank you for making these. must be a pain in the ass to put together but well worth it. very cool.

Man your videos are top notch quality. I like them even before watching

Making Oxy happy is a good thing, because Oxy is a nice dude! :D Aaaand this is a fantastic guide! Little addition: the Brummbär in Arcade is a real killing machine! With no aiming troubles and always aiming at the turret ring on heavies, you can basically one-shot every vehicle in the match. Sometimes you fail to hit the right spot but the next round will usually finish the job. When I end up in a 4.0 - 4.7 match I feel sorry for my opponents.

Another great guide thx your guides have helped so much.

These are really great informational videos

Great video! Thanks! And wow, how times have changed! Well the premiums have shifted around and gotten cheaper, which is nice, some vehicles have dropped in BR, but most that you go in great detail are still about the same, which is also very helpful. You did also miss covering the BF 110 G, which you have in two of your "best lineups" the 4.0 and 3.7, only reason I mention it is that well it has a 30mm option or 2 20s. I am grinding and spading tier 4 atm, so Stug 3g, 110g-2 (now), wirbel, pz4H, 8.8 Flak, ostwind. 4.3 I can't wait for though, Hetzer, JPZIV, Stuher Emil, Ger Churchill, might add the IVJ, HE 219. I got a 20% off coupon on the PZ 4/70 A, it is at 4.3 but not really sure. That makes it 2300 GE, hard to justify. Kv-2 is at 3.7 and HE has been reworked so for 1750 sounds better, or just playing the tech tree sound fine. Ostwind sounds better as it has a unlimited clip, not sure if they reduced clip size with wirbel but seems pretty short and tough to deal with. The KV 1 C 756 got moved to 5.0 after I bought it in the spring, which makes it really hard to know what to do there, Probably not for 5.3 right? So I just bring my 4.3 in with it? There are no 4.7. Thanks for all this hard work!

Don't say sorry for making a great video, your reviews on vehicles per ranks with in-depth analysis like this is a gem. With your great review on each vehicles i definitely have zero problem to hear you talk about it in 2 hour length video. Please do USSR review as well mate, I absolutely appreciate your hard work for making high quality reviews.

You're doing great, keep going. It's useful to pretty much all WT players. :)

Congrats on 20K

Always waiting for the next episode!

Love this series of videos. Don’t worry about the length. It’s the info we want. 😁

Never expected the random comedy about coffee and redbull, almost spat all over my screen

57:19 dat face tho

Reasons to consider the He 21 A-7: while it has a BR of 4.3, it sits at tier IV. This thing is a very effective jet grinder, besides also having one of the highest (if not the highest) SL modifiers in the German tech tree. For CAS, it is a budget Me 410/Do 335.

I recently found you're channel 2 weeks ago and thanks to you decided to play war thunder again :) . I havent played war thunder since 2017.

I only watched now 7:35 long but I can already say: Great Video! + Good microphone quality + Gameplay of each vehicle you discuss in the background + informative + Visual "verdict" (/conclusion) on the screen The length doesn't even matter in this case, because you discuss every German Rank III vehicle and that takes it time. I mean we have all Rank III German vehicles in one video! No need to wait until PhlyDaily or someone else upload an (updated) video about a tank you want to see it's play style... Kind Regards Kolja.Gamer

Great vids. Best thing on the channel

Very entertaining series to watch and very informative.Can't wait for the soviet vehicles !

The Pz.IV Ausf.H in game has the old cupola,H” variants used a lot of parts interchangeable with late drugs like the flush cupola that doesn’t stand proud of turret roof.Steel return rollers in various styles were also later details from simplified construction and saving rubber.

I decided! THIS is the best WT channel on the Tube.

i love the "no reload" on the Ostwind its a real Pro the Wirbel often hit and dont do samething and mostly when the enemy is realy close you are in a reload. yes Wirbelwind is easyer to use but better is the Ostwind (hard to master) but more rewarding.

I just CAN'T WAIT for you to come to the French tech tree. really. Tier 4 is basically "well this tank performs incredibly well ! average armor (or no armor at all) but it is really mobile, with an exceptional gun and a very handy autoloader ! the repair cost though makes it impossible to play unless you want to lose money... consider it or avoid it if you're not an experienced player" SO FUN (in other news : this video was really great, as usual)

Amazing video series, please keep it up! Looking forward to the American series.

I don't mind that it's so long, it's really informative

Trust me, if it is to watch great videos like thid most of us won't care about lenght. And it is possible to just listen to the video so you can even watch it while doing other tasks

it was posted when i started grinding germany as a starter player took 3 years but im here

its sad that these videos are mostly out of date nowadays but I still come back and watch them

When the Tiger H1 was first added to the game, it had it's original double headlights in addition to those s-mine launchers. For quite some time your gun would get stuck on them. Then Gaijin adjusted the gun to automatically go over them, it was still horrible, so finally they just removed them. I'll gladly take those s-mine launchers in the way as opposed to the way the Tiger used to be. It was borderline broken, but that was years ago.

the red coffee part earned a sub

Very good! Thank you!

Lol i just finished you t2 guide then as soon as i finished you posted this video. Never change oxy

Grats on 20K.

YES BRAIN HIT ME WITH THAT SWEET OXY DOPAMINE I found out my old 2012 macbook is too crappy to play this game but I still really enjoy these videos. Keep up the quality!

Grats on 20k!

I've found that the Sturer Emil can work wonders that I just can't with the Dicker Max. Staying at range really helps it, and the added penetration seems like overkill, but Sherman Jumbos and especially IS-series tanks suddenly stop having armor, compared go the Dicker Max that still struggles against these sometimes.

YOU ARE VAATIVDYA! Hah... I knew that I knew this voice. Glad to see you covering another game I learned to love (recently).

Thank you a lot for this video!

Congrats on reaching 20k 🍻

I subbed, great content sir!

Oh yea boy I was waiting for this

Im pretty new to war thunder so finding this channel is perfect for me. Come back soon my dude!

I found out that i fall asleep to these😂 your voice is so calming. I didnt even make it 10 minutes into the video lmao

Very good series, maybe even best one I have seen so far! Please consider a similar one for planes.

Even if i have all these vehicles and know how to play them i still watch this videos they are fun! Keep it up!

The thicker frontal armor of the Sturer Emil can actually allow you to bounce some shells

the Jagdpanzer IV 70 with the vertical armor is great since you can fire over obstacles that the regular Flatpanzers cant. on the Tier 4 wich schould come from you soon. i recomand geting the Premium Jagdpanther when its in an event its quiet regular to get and if you have it and do it again you get 35€ worth of Golden Eagles for other vehicles. when British CBT was introduced and where broken and OP i opened my Wallet and got the Panzerwerfer. if you have the range its absolutly Armagedon. i even managed to get an Air kill with the Rocket ones. also most importantly maxing out all tanks is very good for research since it doesnt get the Tier penality. back then when i maxed 1 2 and 3 Vehicles wich where a lower amount than now i basicly unlocked Jagdpanther Ferdinand King Tiger P and 60% of the Jagdtiger. also my biggest acomblishment in Tank CBT was on Kursk yelling Snapshot in Teamspeak and blindly Firing across Kursk with the King Tiger P accidently one-shoting an IS-3 on wooping 3.6km. and the German Sherman was absolutly broken when Tanks came out at BR 2.7 over 200 Kills in RB and SB just in the first few months when tanks got released.

57:18 LOOOOLLL
