War Thunder: German ground forces Rank IV- review and analysis 

panther A doing a flip down the cliff has to be the best thing ive seen from wt in a long while

21:14 rommels best taktic

Interesting thing about the King Tigers- the P and H's turrets weren't designed by Porsche and Henschel, respectively. Krupp manufactured both the pre-production and production variants. The 'Porsche' turret was meant to be mounted on Porsche hulls, but as no Porsche designs were successfully approved, Krupp gave the curved turrets to Henschel to use on their hull design that was approved for production, and those were used until they ran out and switched to the flatter design.

Oxy talking about how bad a tank is while he gets insane kills with it in the background... I love it

21:14 German ace pulls a sneaky

Hey everyone, I hope you enjoy the video! Sorry if this one is a bit quiet, RU-vid has a habit of automatically adjusting the levels so everything comes out slightly quieter, although I'll hopefully be getting a new mic soon which should stop it happening, cheers! :-)

21:25 the t-34 must have been like “WHERE THE HELL DID THAT PANTHER COME FROM?!”

21:23 T-34/85: “lol we are decimating them, we have this in the bag!” M-18 Hellcat: “hell yeah, they just keep getting out of their spawn and greeted by a shot in their side!” Panther A: “GUTEN TAG!!!”

Oxy your voice is so soothing I literally listen to you talking about pixel tanks for hours.

21:14 AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CEEENAA!

Hey oxy, I know phly dominates the "meme" style of war thunder, which he is great at, but one thing he lacks is the informative style. I think that style suits you. You should start a series on tactics, war thunder news and tank/plane reviews. Quickybaby does this for WoT while jingles does the meme. There is a good balance over there for that. I hope you do more regular videos, cause your content is great

Don't be too sorry for being late with this, you've used a lot of time in your videos and we can always appreciate the quality over speed.

21:13 - I'm gonna do what's called a "pro gamer move"...

21:12 getting Girls und Panzers flashbacks...

Unless I'm mistaken Gaijin said that the only tank they would bring back in events is the Maus, and it will be available as a limited time researchable vehicle, like the La-174.

21:15 that maneuver though! 😂 They had no idea where you came from. No risk no reward! Lmao

21:12 EXPECT THE UNEXPECTABLE!

The IS/JS series in reverse has a confusion, fear and stupidity meaning 3/5 enemy’s will fail to shot and 2/5 will fail to kill any crew but 0.0000000000001% players will do something to the tank

Me: better go to bed, its too late already. Oxy: German ground forces tier IV - review and analysis (50 minutes long) Me: well, my plan went to shit quickly.

21:14 ninja panther mode activated

at 26:55 dude in the chat is asking Oxy about the German ground forces tier 4. Congrats dude you're in it.

I'm so happy I grinded my ass off to get the 4 removed vehicles, those being the panther 2, tiger 105, coelian 341 and ofc, the maus

26:55 well that guy in the chat finally got what he wanted! :)

Thank you for this guide. I was really struggling with this tier to the point where I stopped playing for a couple months but you broke down how to play the tanks so well I've been able to get a couple first on my teams since watching this video. Thank you so much, I love this series

Thanks a lot for all the amazing stuff! I started the game a few months ago after watching your beginner guide, and I'm really having a blast. I'm still derping around in arcade while learning the maps and weak spots of different tanks. Your videos + reddit have been my main sources of info about the game. I must say that many things are very different in arcade, especially the optimal lineups, as the respawn mechanics and BRs of many vehicles are not the same. But these videos will surely be even more useful on the day when I eventually feel brave enough to start playing realistic. So I really hope to see many more videos coming up in the future!

This is by far my favorite WT content, keep up the work! :D Looking forward to see what you do/say when it comes to the two “Super heavys” Maus/E-100 ;)

Came over why Phly recommended your tech tree reviews and these videos have been awesome thanks for doing these

Started playing 2 weeks ago. I was really bad but after watching you play and taking some of your tips I have become alot better. Thanks and keep up the videos

21:12 Holy shit, that's some master level tanking skill right there.

Note for the Porsche Tiger: These models (which include Ferdie) have the same forward and reverse speeds. A gimmicky play that some players used to do was driving the Tiger in reverse with the turret facing forward (like the Archer) so that when an enemy was encountered, the Engine would eat the shot and protect the crew.

1 dislike already after an hour...... Oxy's haters, I have a question: Why????? Just why???? Literally the best tutorial you can find out there

Yes! Been bing watching your ground forces reviews! can't wait for more

Thank you for the fantastic video Oxy! I love all of your guides and they really help me play and enjoy the game. I don’t mind the length of the videos, in fact I really enjoy the long form and I completely understand that they take a lot of time to make. So please take your time and enjoy yourself. I’ll be anticipating and patiently waiting for the next episode of your fantastic guide! 😄

i can tell that you played all of these tanks, and i agree with all the recommendations and skipping of tanks. You really show off the advantages and disadvantages, also overlooked ones like reverse speed, gun bouncing etc wich can decide if you get a kill or survive.Wich ammo or guns are dangerous for your tanks, if mg fire is dangerous etc etc. Great video, More, longer, for every nation, please

I don't know how he can spot a couple of pixels and get the most accurate shot in only 2 seconds

Der hat gesessen, feind zerstort! (my favorite phrase playing Germans, love how the guy says it) I appreciate your in depth review of the vehicles, it can make people think more logically about their choice of vehicle and better themselves at the game.

I love these kind of videos. Keep up the great content Oxy!

Ferdinand cons: repair cost

Love your channel and videos, as a very new player grinding away on Germans, thanks to your intros to them I have been able to grind faster and have more fun doing so. Also gotten some friends to play with me and since they are grinding Russians I sent them links to your channel and they love it as well. Sure I do not get insane kill results like you do but it has become less frustrating and more fun. Even if matchmaking Gods don't bless me every time

Oxy, being honest here, you are the best war thunder youtuber for me, bar none. The funniest thing is your calm voice along with the awesome kills is a killer combo. Please keep making awesome WT content. Also eagerly waiting for more such tank tree videos. Cheers from India.

Thanks Oxy for all your hard work. I always look forward to your videos coming out. They may be a bit longer than some other contributors, but in this case, the longer the better; as they are always worth watching. love the presentation and hope you keep enjoying the game so we can get more. Got to admit that I'd have loved you to say "Avoid" the Jadpanther, after your talk up of it. even if it was just to keep it for yourself :)

One thing I love about the leKpz M41 is that the ballistics are so straight, that even if you forget to set ranges in the scope, you're gonna hit.

Thanks for all your hard work putting out these vids. I always enjoy them.

finally, great work. now i know how to progress into higher brs with german forces. keep it coming!

I like how some guy at 26:54 is waiting for this video to come out, I wonder if he saw himself say that in game...

Your calm voice explaining is something rare and lovely to have in the war thunder gamers community. What's more, I actually liked the analysis of your video. Keep up the good fight my friend! :)

Oxy, these videos are amazingly detailed. Just ordered the 1941 Merlin Engine diagram from your store. Should go nicely with the tank identification manual you sent me :)

I love watching these videos. It feels like the cooking shows where you eat with the people on screen, buuuut you're just eating bread with ham while they eat something magnificient. Yeah......I still dont have my Tiger II, but getting closer

love the move of panther A falling down the cliff and knockout the tank， awesome！I had account of WT for years, first of playing planes, but stopped before the tank came out due to work and world of tanks. Now I came back to play tanks. love your guide, thank to you that I know what to play what to avoid as a new starter

Very useful video, fills an important gap, great job.

I love your work, keep it up and remember that we are here for you :)

Thank you for the video. I think you should have mentioned that Tiger II (H) is very susceptible to being one shot by anything piercing the turret from the front as there is an ammo rack that you cannot empty and so every shot that penetrates the turret almost guarantees death.

I've had to rewind and slo-mo that 1st kill down 3 times and still did not get visual on what you saw. I'm usually that dude in the Blackcat blasting through thinking no ones pushed up because of my fast AF style of play. Hope to never see you in battle sir ;) Great video and spot on insight as usual Oxy, Thank you. And this is coming from a US RTB head who never plays Axis.

Great quality again - thank you Oxy!

I'm always look forward to this series, and I don't mind waiting. Also I hope the spotlight gets to the US line sooner.

Great to see an Oxy vid on some of my favorite tanks

Another great video. Was wandering if you would consider doing a Intro guide to SIM as it dose not get covered much on you tube and i feel people are missing out, or have bad first experiences.

Excellent video as usual!

lol i loved the tumbling down the mountain clip on the panther a

I have long awaited this.

A thing that might have been worth mentioning on the Ferdinand is that it has an insane repair cost. Still very nice review!

Great work! Im loving these videos! Currently im hoping back in WT and im grinding the US tree again. Could you possibly make a rank review and analysis for the ranks in the US ground forces tree?

YOU DESERVE MORE SUBS I absolutely love your informative war thunder videos❤❤❤👌

This is a very peaceful channel that discusses War Thunder that I like.

yay this came out just as i'm getting into rank IV :D thanks mate

one of the biggest advantages of the ostwind ii is that it not only has 2 guns, but both are independently modeled. Which means if one has a breech destroyed or a barrel shot off, the other can keep shooting. You can even keep shooting while repairing. this is a life saver.

Enjoyed the video so much (top quality as always) I'm grinding the tree so I'm trying to keep up HAHA!

Best channel out there this guy kills it. No bollshit just content!!

I like the Camos your are passivly showcasing in the video.

Just woke up and got a strange feeling that you had uploaded a new video. Looked it up and sure enough you had. Yes I am serious. I actually got a feeling that you had uploaded this part now. That's how good these videoa are.

I've been away from the game for about a year so finding out Gaijin finally gave Germany a good light tank in the 6.0-7.0 area is nice. The US M41 is good bit of fun to use and I can always rely on it even in my 7.7 line-ups so seeing that Germany gets one too is pretty great.

ohhh thank you so much oxy, I just got started on tier 4! (edit) think you can make a review for tier 4 german aircraft??

Huh, I somehow missed the fact that the German Bulldog gets HEATFS - thanks for the heads up, that definitely makes it a more attractive tank.

Fun fact, the techtree and premium Jagdpanthers are slightly different. The premium is an early version with the thin rim around the gun's porthole, while the TT variant is a late model with the up-armored rim.

the thing I often do with your videos is look where to place decals and in which way, to make it look good

I love these videos they hold so much information

Another advantage of the Waffeln strictly in AB and mostly at medium range, is that if you're sideways and expose only your turret the enemy will really get confused, because your nametag is offsetted from your turret, and might end up shooting at thin air

I really love your videos. Can you maybe make map analysis videos? These will really help intermediate players a lot.

ive been waiting :) really love your vidoes ^^

Love the video as always. No need to expain to those needy lazy ones asking you to update more often. We know these take a lot to research, write, edit, etc. Take your time, quality is great

I enjoy your vids . They are very informative. I think Phly has become the Godfather of WT . He makes offers we can't refuse, and he has a cat lol.

ty for the series

I've been to Bovington Tank Museum and been in the famous tiger room. You have a Tiger I, Tiger II and Ferdinand in all one room and your spine just tingles. You just can't believe how big they are. I walked up to the front of the Tiger II and gave the front plate a massive slap and the gorgeous girl just made the sound of slapping an backside. A few people looked at me like i was weird but I didn't care. As far as I was concerned, for 10 minutes...she was mine.

FYI, the Tiger II (P) turret wasn't made by Porche. That's a common misconception. It's a Krupp turret.

I just got the Panzer 4/70 and man I could not have made a greater a decision, this thing is insane.

One year later and German 6.7 is at a period of revival, since British sabots got moved to 7.3 and US line up got up tiered a bit as well. I started playing German 6.7 again recently and it’s super enjoyable.

21:12 sorry, I have no idea what you said because I was too busy dieing over the fact that a T -34 didn't notice a panzer panther weighing 50+ tonnes if I remember correctly tumbling down a cliff right behind him

Oxygen Thief = Surprisingly ironic name. You are a wealth of knowledge

I still love my Command Tiger P. The reverse speed is really handy and people tend to see the turret and immediately assume it's an unangled tiger. so you very often get at least one free hit which gives you time to react. And sicne the hull armor protects the driver and transmission you can always back off quickly if they do pen the turret.

FYI - the real Panther-II wouldn't have had a Panther Ausf.G turret. The existing prototype in the US only has a G turret because the US Army mated it with the hull for ordnance testing after capturing it. The real Panther-II turret designed by the Germans would have been entirely new and unlike earlier Panther turrets or the F schmalturm. There were several proposals, but the most likely used would have had 150mm front plate with 60mm sides and rear. The shape would have been squarish with a large flat front plate, slightly sloping sides (aprox 25 degrees) and rear. The gun mantlet would have been a new design, quite small, most closely resembling the "Topfblede" gun mantlet on the Jagdpanzer-IVs. It would have also retained the 7.5cm KwK L/70 and not the 8.8cm KwK L/71. There was a proposal to equip a schmalturm with an 8.8cm KwK L71 but that was a separate project unrelated to the Panther-II. The reason we have the image of a Panther-II with an Ausf.F schmalturm and an 8.8cm KwK L71 is entirely due to plastic model companies combining separate German projects into a single tank design for marketing purposes.

The Tiger II H Sla.16 was the first premium tank I bought and to be honest, I think it's the most fun one I have, probably because I just love playing the Tiger IIs. From a premium standpoint it's also one of the most "fair" ones as it's just a Tiger II with an extra MG, almost negligible extra turret protection and that accelerates slightly faster.

cant wait for the rank 6 and 7 german tank vid deciding what tank i want to get first

i completely agree with the verdict on the Jagdpanther, i played a lot of hetzer at 4.3 so i thought hmm might unlock the jagdpanther and see if i like it. Completely fell in love, made a 6.3 lineup, propably one of my favourite tanks now and havent really played any other lineups since.

the Panther A assassination had me on the floor laughing

The grind is tough. btw, the premium jagpanther used to be an event reward for doing certain mission during the time period. Instead of wasting away 6k, you could get one for free like I had. That was when I had lots of time to waste as a kid. not sure if the event will come back, haven't seen it since. it should be one of the December event in 2014-2015 (I don't know correctly). sadly i didn't unlocked the russian one cause i didn't invested in Russian tank tree at that time.

21:13 that panthers suspension must be dead trying to carry the commanders balls

I'd like a full review on the removed vehicles! They still are common enough on the field, we should get all the info we can.

Good job dude
