Ok so I just want to get something clear about the whole Wehraboo thing. It's a joke. Like the whole video. Also people are telling me it is overused which is kind of true but that was due to problems with production of this video because I had to get tanks I was gonna use in part 2 (Panther, Pz IV, Stug, Pz III) and put them in this. I actually didn't expect this video to get this many views nor people telling me they aren't a Wehraboo because their grandfather was an electrician or something. Now if you don't mind me I'm off to play my favourite tank with the Michael Wittmann Villers Bocage skin I downloaded. And before anyone asks, no he's not my favourite tank commander...because it's Joachiem Peip-*gets dragged off*
I have that feeling with my experience with British tanks. I hate remembering getting the drop on enemy tanks in ambushes less than 100 meter only for the round to not penetrate; and it always was the British tanks I suffer this from. The quick firing British version of VFW not penning Tiger I turrets despite having the pen, and my Tortoise having it's round ricochet off a BMP's lower plate, at 700 meters.
From my experience I also have that, despite the fact that I can do a lot of dmg in low tier and in 4.7 I mean the avenger has a 17 pdr and has good speed but very terrible reverse speed
Interesting. When I was playing it for the first time, it was suffering. Then I learned how to play it (and also spaded it) and now I love it. I just had to play it cautiously, not rush into danger. Aim properly. Use that great turret traverse. And so on.
@@vaclav_fejt yup...if you are an aggressive player, any tank in the game can get you dead very quickly. Patience is a virtue...and you have to learn it when playing this infuriating game. Easier said than done!
@@johncee853 Just last night I wanted to finish one upgrade on that Swedish light 5.7 and I kept rushing while alt+tabbing to Alpine F1 car reveal and got killed three times in a row. After finishing the reveal, I collected my attention and won the game leading the scoreboard, replacing all my previous SL loss.
When I play Germany… I rather angle and use the element of surprise…. Except when they shoot under my thick armor while angling…. Then it dies… but I recommend one more thing… DONT PLAY LIKE MICHAEL SHITTMAN YOU WERHABOO!!!!! Panthers on the other hand… hide your lower plate and avoid shot traps and don’t let the enemy shoot the sides! Trust me.. I’ve angled a panther in war thunder and it dies, even with the little ammo I have. Angling is for tigers not for panthers… get it right wehraboos…. (Recommend using panther Ausf g) Panzer IIs meanwhile…. Heheheheheh. TROLLING EVERYONE
Tiger E: You're a former Tiger H1 player that got tired of dying, learned to angle, and now works hard to give Sherman players severe PTSD. Until someone flanks you. Then you die.
@@vargapeter38 gup anime, the crew use this tank make fun of it's coaxial turret and the tank crew commander Made them apologise to the finnish who use this to wreck Soviet.
I am pretty sure some people consider the panther to be a MBT because it fits a lot of the caracteristis of an MBT, medium tank mobility, heavy frontal armor and and very little side armor, very powerfull anti-tank gun...
@@muxite6035 the centurion is considered to be the first MBT by a lot of people and it had a lot of the caracteristcs you cited. The 17 pounder is very similar in performance to the kwk 42, the centurian was as heavy as the panther and it was also slower. The turret traverse speed of the panther was increased in later variants and I have never heard about "bad crew confort" thing. The reliability was an issue but a big part of that problem comes from the state of germany at that time and not just from the design of the tank.
@@How23497 soviets in the 80s simultaneously used T-55, T-64, T-72 and T-80 in various modifications. All being different tanks were still considered MBTs.
@@How23497 It does, until it doesn't. Out of the 7 Panzerkampfwagens made, it was the 2nd most produced one. There were ~3500 Pz. Kpfw II produced, 5774 Pz. Kpfw III, ~8000 Pz. Kpfw IV, 6000 Pz. Kpfw Panther, 1354 Pz. Kpfw VI A, 493 Pz. Kpfw VI B and 1 Pz. Kpfw VIII (all variants and prototypes included) Yes, the Pz. Kpfw IV was produced until 1945, the Germans were well aware that it was slowly getting outdated and where indeed phasing it out of production, only for the Pz. Kpfw Panther to replace it, making it the "MAIN" battle tank as both Tigers where also getting replaced by the Pz. Kpfw Panther, and the Pz. Kpfw II and III weren't produced anymore and the Standardpanzer project being cancelled.
The Firefly and Churchill ones are inaccurate... The Churchill can't take out anything at long range, it can hardly take out anything at point blank but it's amazing armour holds true even in an uptier. The Firefly easily kills everything it sees as it's solid shot creates a ton of spall, plus you won't die easily so long as you play it like a poorly armoured TD instead of a medium.
It easily kills everything yes but you have to be accurate, or you're just gonna non pen or some shit, even then you tend to non pen for no reason, as I did on the side of a e2 5 meteres away from me unangled
As a person who uses the Cromwell a lot , I do In fact like to speed about, and using that speed to flank and blast my enemy to oblivion, and when down tiered it funnier to watch the shells bounces off my box hull.
every british main mentality: "keep moving foward as reverse speed doesn't exist anyway" "my round can pen everything but it's suck at actually doing damage"
@@mr.jancok4413 pretty much, I try my best not to reverse if I’m not in that bad of a situation, But I still use smoke to cover my ass when trying to flee and get to cover to repair or to retreat.
@@mr.jancok4413 I love the smokes. The Cromwell I gets a crap ton and I use them to trap and confuse an enemy as I roll out a corner to flank them where they never expect.
KV-1C 756: You love comitting war crimes on russian tanks using their own modified with a german gun KV-2 754: You love throwing those fridges back at these soviets
@@How23497 Germany's tanks by themselves are the best due to their low battle ratings which is extremely annoying, and then they gave them a bunch of other stolen tanks that are also great, like the M41, M48 and the KV1. It's a terrible nation to fight.
1:36 the engine was made by Chrysler for the M4a4. It was not 5 separate engines taped together, but one engine using the components of 5 smaller engines
M24 just makes me smile while playing it. Such an enjoyable tank. Doesn't do anything spectacularly, but does everything well enough. I bring it out in my 4.7 lineup and regularly have zero deaths and 5+ kills with a cap or two and plenty of scouts. There was one full uptier on Ash River where I had 3327 points with 7 kills, 1 assist, 3 caps and 0 deaths. I watched the replay though and I did get saved massively by a friendly P47 because I only saw 2/3 enemy tanks and almost got shot up the rear. And, I mean, look at it. It's adorable.
@@GaryJones69420 nah a wehraboo is a guy who says germany could've won the war if they didnt bother with the super heavy tanks and just stuck to the panzer3/4 and tiger, all the other people who like germans tanks mostly like em because they look cool
@@OCGangsta the only thing that can pen the panthers front hull is the is2 If you even angle slightly you're showing off you're 40mm side armor that shells will go trough without too much issue
@@OCGangsta You don't have to angle the chassis of the panther, you have to angle the turret. By angling the chassis you only eliminate the effectiveness of its armor. Sorry if you can't understand it very well, I'm using a translator.
@@MiG21fanboy ah yes, lets not forget about sherman firefly with 190mm of pen, A30 with 228mm sabot and other tanks with 17-pounder anti tank gun. if you think you are safe while operating in your panther, you are not. 🇬🇧🍵
@@Arkhmar Most of those tanks you mentioned are controlled by mostly idiots, a lot of fireflys and A30s I encounter uses them to brawl against other brawling tanks such as the Jumbo. Even if the tank has the better stats doesn't mean anything if its controlled by an idiot. Me and my friends played Germany 5.0-3, we got up tiered and met a Black Prince, the BP drove out in an open field and sat there, I told in chat the range of the BP, seconds later he got clapped by my friend's 128mm with 230mm of pen. I love it when idiots die to players that are in an inferior tank to theirs.
the m-26 pershing was originally classified as a heavy tank when in entered service near the end of ww2, but after the war ended the tank classification system was revised resulting in tanks like the m-26 pershing being reclassified with it becoming a medium tank
I mean i love the Tiger and i did learn how to somewhat angle it, that this that bugs me is that i never knew that the Pz III was suppose to train me into angle, thats explains why i sucked with that tank
I assumed you were grinding for the tiger H1 and skipped it. I did as well but I had the german KV-1 which is pretty similar armor-wise and taught me a bit on how to use it.
I would say it doesn't really do that good a job. As some players had pointed out when facing Panzer 3 and 4s, side armor is weak. So you are heavily punished, especially in uptiers, even trying to angle as most rounds punch through the sides; despite most aim for your turret anyway. Unlike Tiger or Panther due to side skirts fucking shots up due to volumetric.
Yeah, all of these are pretty accurate. Although really I don't play WT, but if I did I'd probably work to collect all the tanks from GuP regardless of how good or bad it is and primarily use tanks like the Panzer IV M4 Sherman or T-34 as my main tanks with heavies as secondary tanks with the Panzer IV being my favorite. No I am not a Wehraboo, I just prefer armor and firepower over speed. Plus Miho is my waifu so that's extra points to the Panzer IV.
Clearly you haven't played War Thunder if you think the Panzer IV has armor. 80mm hull armor on the H variant with 20mm tracks thrown on top for protection at maximum is not a lot, especially since it's usually less. Not to mention, not a lot of tanks in this game have both strong firepower _and_ armor unless you look at the casemate bricks like the Ferdinand and such.
@@no-legjohnny3691 Yeah, I said I never played WarThunder before. Plus with all the tanks being so weak at lower BRs that just means that the overall effectiveness of all the aspects ate balanced so it's not unfair.
@@inductivegrunt94 Yeah, was just confirming what you said. But trust me, when enemy tanks are slinging around shots with ~100mm pen, 40-60mm of protection might as well be made of wood. The boon of the Pz IV is the strong gun and the relatively good mobility. Most of the low tier stuff is balanced, however there are certain exceptions, such as a late war M4A3 Sherman with a 105mm howitzer with 130mm pen HEAT rounds that can legitimately face T-28s, BT-7s, Panzer IIs, etc... yeah...
@@no-legjohnny3691 HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) It's kinda it's job to wreck tanks far above the tanks weight class. So that's really not the best way to judge a tank. The standard AP and HE shells are the best way to judge any tanks capabilities in combat.
With the Firefly, I really don't see the issue when it is genuinely quite good when I play with it, a lot of fun and can even be competitive in the 5.7 range.
Pz.IV/70 (v): The actual 5.3 beast. You're the only person on your team who knows what they're doing but you still lose because half of your team is gone within first 3 min of the battle.
0:30 I mean, in some book for the crews, 2 whole pages were dedicated to angling your tank with a nice example: Your Mother cuts your sausage, if she cuts it by the width it will just have the normal thickness, but if she cuts them more and more diagonal, the slices will become thicker and thicker. So yes, back then they were smarter than the majority now...
Your tank is the Maus, the tank so CHAD, WarThunder can't decide if they want to keep it in the game or not! It is also the perfect tank for the wehraboo. The fault is either the entire battle will be over before you get to it, or you'll be facing off against the entire enemy team by yourself! You won't care because MAUS IS IN DAH HOUSE!!!
The Maus isn't that bad actually. Even if the armor gets completely ignored by ATGM's...it's so fucking humongous that the enemy will run out of Missiles before he kills you. I have seen 3-4 people struggle to kill a Maus with several Salvos of shells.
Tiger II (H): You always play uptier, but you enjoy it as you pierce all the 7.3 tanks and your survivability, mobility and armor are still excellent in uptier
M1A2: You believe in American superiority. ADATS: You love to shoot things down. Also, overpressure with 900mm pen high velocity ATGM/SAM go brrr M247: Proxies and overpressure stacking go brrr IPM1: You love to bully TURMS players, until you get uptiered. Stryker: You appreciate 3rd generation gunner and commander thermals, until you notice that you can't even keep up with other tanks when off-road and most enemies beat your reload.
To be fair you can’t really angle the panther, the side is too thin to effectively angle because a lot of tanks at 5.3-5.7 (especially when uptiered) can overmatch the side
@@SquooshyCatboy then you weren't "slightly angled" because a 76mm cannon won't overmatch 40mm. Do I need to remind you that the strv tank destroyers also have 40mm of armor?
The guy dying in a T-34 is true, he was proving the T-34’z worth buy driving it through the motherland to get to the tank competition. But he forgot to include a heater in the prototype and died along the way. :/
The funny thing is I learned to angle my tanks from World of Tanks before I played War Thunder the enemy claimed I was hacking, but I just laughed in superior armor protection. Until I went up against people that actually knew how to play the game or they just use APFSDS or HEAT or Planes. Either way still love the game I switch between WoT and WT love them both.
Ah yes, I used to play WoT and just angle Churchill VII against the enemy, sometimes blocked twice the amount of it's HP. Have an absolute blast with the tank as I can also snipe there... Until the SPG strike me xd
Honestly, the Pz. III M is one of the best tanks at its BR. The gun has good pen but you still have to aim for weakspots on some tanks. Also the shells are hella fast since it's a high velocity 50mm so sniping is not so difficult. When it comes to the armour, it works most of the time since it's basically a 50mm Frontal Plate with an extra 20mm Plate added on (which helps against HEAT sometimes). But mainly I love it because of the Sideskirts.
The Tiger II H Sla.16, my favourite tank. This fatso allows me to sustain (most of the times personally) hits from M26s and IS-2s without dying like Wittman in his Tiger I. Aaaand lets me reduce them to scraps, making me thinking it's good having spent money for it. Until most of the times I realize: It faces uptiers or Cold War vehicles of his BR. And I just spent money for just a Tiger II with an extra MG 34 , extra armor tracks on the turret, a slightly more powerful engine and a sexy looking skin, making me going back to start of this whole comment.
@hambone Thanks for the Tip but personally, only the M41 can be helpful as Panthers are just the same suffering of the Tiger II but x2. While for the Ru, I currently don't have GEs to afford it.
3:12 i couldnt figure out why i kept dying in the panther until i got the panther g with a smigde more side armor and realized it was because i was trying to angle my panther like a tiger and the absolutely pitiful side armor was being penetrated easily. i stopped angling it past 15* and now i live much longer. angled tiger e is basically invincible best tank
“If you like German shepherds then you’re a wehraboo; If you like Pretzels then you’re a wehraboo; if you like Fanta then you’re a wheraboo; if you like Sausages then you’re also a wheraboo.” -🤓🤓🤓
I remember buying the SOMUA SM just for the reload and I never regreted it, despite the fact that you'll die in one shot most of times you can easly get off of a 2v1 or 3v1 with your fast reloading time and your *100mm gun* . However I would advise to buy the SUPER AMX 30 as it's better for grinding and I didn't knew that at the time
Mine is the chaffee, its so good. The reverse speed is fast and if you're getting straffed by a plane most of the time it won't kill you, surprisingly quite resistant too
yeah, it also survives pretty big hits into the turret, and the stabilizer just adds up to the list of pros. sadly they made it rank 2, so new players cant use it to grind tech tree anymore... it was almost always my first spawn, as rank 2 its degraded to backup tank.
There you are, playing your favorite tank in a multiplayer vehicle shooter, then all of a sudden you’re a wehraboo. You didn’t ask for this. You didn’t choose this. Yet there it is. And it’s treated no differently than using a British tank.
Personal favorite is T32E1. With minor improvements it would've been the best tank of it's time period. Take the engine and transmission of the M46 and slap them in the T32E1, beefing up the transmission a bit, replace the mantlet with a wedge angled one, widen the tracks a bit, replace the T15E2 with the T54 90mm using stubby casings that could fire HEATFS and APHE at higher velocity and use denser payloads. And of course some production variant refinements for the crew, also replace coax with a .50 cal. Boom, you now have incredible armor, 15hp/t with good ground pressure and suspension dampening, a punchy gun that can be used to fuck up heavy tanks, bunkers, infantry, and light vehicles, has the room to carry lots of supplies for accompanying infantry on the back, good gun depression, easy to operate aiming drives and a nice smooth transmission, shared driver controls between navigator and driver so one can take over in the event of crew knockout somehow. A decently spaced turret with easy loading and good ammo rack placement, and good crew survivability
my favorite tank is mostly the Tiger for one reason. It's really good at longer range engagements. It's HEAT rounds are no slouch, even at ranges of more than a kilometer, and I've bounced many a shell by angling at long range. That, and if your lucky, you can take a beating from some tanks at medium to close range, though the lack of angled armour makes it difficult to tank a really big shell.
3:10 i mean.. angling has no point cause there is HeatFS tanks that will just clap you and the sides a thin as hell.. so theres no point in angling even if you have a nice angle.. the turret is a bigger problem
My favourite is without a doubt the kugelblitz. I like playing anti air but it can be really frustrating when none of your shells hit. But for some odd reason with the Kugel I never fail to take down a plane even when it‘s halfway back to its base. It just works. Oh and also 95mm of pen and something about Wehraboos.
