When Britain Finally Makes A Good Tank 

Please I’m begging, I need another HSTVL video please

Day 15 (I guess) of asking too play the BT-42 pls... itf fun :D

Yyyyyeeeeessssssss

please play concept 3

Please play the BT-42

Centurions were even cooler than that before they broke apds

APDS is just useless garbage now, you're better off just using the APCBC because it actually spalls and can usually 1 shot with a well placed shot.

when you dont know what you're talking about, that can happen!

@@angryman_ sounds like a skill issue, I haven’t had a single issue with APDS shells anytime recently

​@@txcgladiator4030 A game mechanic functioning improperly isn't a "skill issue" it's a "gaijin can't go 5 seconds without messing with their game issue" Being complacent with bad business practices doesn't make you skilled, it just makes you a poser.

Because he has his own engine volume dialled right down, and enemy/other engine volume dialed right up. Which allows him to hear around corners and like 200 m away which gives a MASSIVE advantage, the same as purposely using ULQ and he's scum because of it. You see it all the time, he'll be doing something, with absolutely no input visually or on the map and suddenly will come to a dead halt, turn around and be like "There is an AMX-32 back here". And 4 streets away through 7 buildings there will be an idling Leclerc waiting in an ambush position. It's basically wall hacks and is as scummy as ULQ like I said. I have my sound settings both at max and I can't hear shit over the sound of my own engine unless I either turn it off, or something immensely loud is right next to me.

​@@_Anato_even still you cannot diminish his skill level as his shot placement and positioning not to mention everybody has they're sound like that your and out liar

@@_Anato_ "I choose to give myself disadvantages and thus everyone that doesnt is scum" sure thing chief, imma call a skill issue here

​@@_Anato_ bro he literally complains every video that he couldnt hear an engine noise you are delirious

@@_Anato_ actually just giving yourself a disadvantage like that's a good thing

I often found the simplest way to increase your odds of getting a one hit kills with the Centurion is to be focusing on an objective that specifically requires you to get assist kills instead. Almost every time I have that objective and decided to play Britain, I keep finding myself one shotting most enemies (either by hitting their ammo or catching to front section in just the right position for the shrapnel cone to actually get all crew members) and get far fewer assists than I was hoping for as a result.

I kid you not, I got 8 assists and one kill while playing the British Centurion 1 and that lightly armored 84mm thing- the conqueror? That match was still fun but I got absolutely nothing from it.

​​@@ExplosiveBean1 the conqueror is one of tge most heavily armored tanks in the game before the modern era. Youre prob talking about the charioteer.

@@robertharris6092 yeah that thing

Its the giggle that kills me, every time

Same BR: Fv4005. Believe me. Its a relieve to have noe shatters and immediate kills

@@chomp5558 also a 40s reload and teabag level armour

@@Dragono_ yeah right. In in the reload time you can take a buscuit and sip your tea.

The Conway is a joke.... if you've used that... I've gotten 3 shells in a row on a flat side of a tank just to get shell shattered... its 487mm of pen just to get 0 damage.... then a 50s reload every time ⏲..... the best part is when the shell does go through it does nothing to crews or key parts.... I've hit ammo racks and crew just for it be shrugged off.... kind of amusing.... yet APHE has less pen and just 1 hits you everytime.

@@bobt2094 it’s stupid just how awful they’ve made solid shot AP

Gremliest of gremlin tanks I'm definitely using that to describe any gremlin tank now

VOUCH

​@@sampackman69 adding gremly into my vocabulary

​@@sampackman69yea cause that's exactlt how superlatives work

There’s something really funny seeing “Waffen-SS” and “mossad” under the same name

@@rolandb2108 Same thing, different name.

Muties

He's got 2 vids on it, one of his "classic" no commentary with music to gameplay and then one where he discusses the validity of it's inclusion in WT.

I love that damn brick. That is all.

@@Brobro7SF same it's my best tank now

@@Excessive_complaining too late now

6.7 or 7.0, 100%.

Yeah it's weird, it is just barely in the range of the german 5.3 blackhole so it should still be getting downtiers, During my playtime with the IS-2 and the mod 44 I barely saw the 100sp spawn cost. I'd love to comment on this thing specifically but there's no way in hell I'm grinding for a centurion when I own all other centurions.

I always get uptiered.... even uptiered by 2 br ratings most times.... like the tortoise 6.7 up against the 8.0 Maus....

@@bobt2094the maus is 7.7, or are you playing ab?

@@bobt2094 you cant be uptiered by "2 br ratings" thats not how it works and the maus is 7.7 so you can fight it

It got its BR lowered?.... damn that explains it..... needs it raised ... back to 8.0

That isn't very many views lol

@@WhyThunder. a hundred views per minute seems pretty popular

He's a big kid now.

​@@WhyThunder.i mean, for a war thunder focused channel, that's kind of a lot ngl

The achilles is pretty decent. Basically just a M10 but a bit worse ammo but not too bad.

@@Juel92 it's not completely terrible, but the only redeeming quality that makes the M10 good/competitive is the firepower - The Achilles doesn't even have that 9/10 times.

@@Gameboy2218 uuhhh It’s a 17 POUNDER ARE U MAD

@@little_weed192 >Welding spots, Optics, add-on armor. >0 post pen damage >Doesn't (or very unreliably) set off ammo racks It's a big gun. Too bad it's warthunder and only gets AP

​@Gameboy2218 the problem isn't that it only gets AP. That's mostly historical for the 17 pounder. The problem is that a 17 pound shell slamming through an armour plate doesn't do significant damage.

Well yeah. Just fck birtain again for no reason 💀

Yep As soon as you get the option to stop using solid shot, don't use it. The APDS on the 17pdr isn't the best, but it's still very good for what it is Especially at 5.3 upwards

I've never had a problem with solid shot at any point playing britain

@@Rorywizz same, at this point I just think Brit mains have a skill issue

I literally just played a game where I put 2 rounds of APDS into a tiger2P turret ammorack (perfect side shots) and both non penned😅

APDS on the 20pdr is decent, and the (stock) APCBC slaps on less well armoured targets

Yeah. I love when my shell shatters against any sort of slope

Britain is actually a very fun TT. Don’t know why people have a trouble with it

MBT 80 never actually existed past the scale models stage.

I'm kinda sad that they refuse to add the TOG 2.

​@@hydrolox3953what are you babbling about ?

Absolutely not, and I don't even use APHE

the fuzes being unreliable would be a bad change but the aphe being realistic would be a good change but wouldnt really affect very large aphe

@@tm1182 Can you elaborate on your point a little? I'd be interested to hear why you think that, because at the moment APHE is a little too forgiving in therms of shot placement in my opinion, since you could literally hit an empty spot on a tank and one shot it because the shell explodes in a full sphere. It also makes no sense from a balance standpoint that APHE is literally just better than solid shot in every way, especially considering some tanks (British and French) don't even have the option for APHE. Compare the 5.3 AC IV in the british tree to the Panther D in the German tree for example. The Panther is arguably undertiered anyway, but look at their guns, both have about the same pen but the Panther gets APHE and therefore has much more reliable damage output. There's also the fact that sometimes solid shot just refuses to spall at all, making it even worse. It should also be noted that the British stopped using APHE after the 2 pdr gun because they found that it caused little to no extra damage compared to solid shot while also having a chance of premature detonation.

@@hawkstable8889 it doing "too little damage to justify the cost" makes sense IRL, because a solid shot penetration or an aphe penetration would both take the tank off the battlefield IRL. I don't think they should nerf the APHE in game because I think the realistic solution would be to buff apds and solid shot, I run mainly centurions @7.3 and my APDS sometimes does literally nothing when it pens. No spall, just straight through, happened a few days ago on a leo 1 side shot. A 9 pound metal dart going 3-4k FPS penetrating armor sounds like it should always spall to me. The other thing I disagree with is the shot placement being too forgiving, mainly because when I use APDS i find that due to projectile size I run into far fewer volumetric issues than when I use APHE, especially larger caliber APHE that gets caught on everything with volumetric. A very slight buff to apds and solid shot would be the solution that I believe would fix the problem without ruining things for others who play APHE centric tech trees.

Horrible idea honestly. Making a shell do less damage doesn't make the game more fun for anyone, and you should never make a game less fun because "muh realism" (volumetric shells was such a great addition am i right). There is a very simple solution which would make the game more balanced and more fun for everybody and that's to just buff the spall on solid to the point where you actually have to think if the penetration trade off is worth the little bit of extra damage. What you're suggesting could have the effect of making APHE practically useless, which absolutely noone wants.

That and 6.7 is always pulled into 7.7 matches.

there are so many vehicles at 7.3 too

I think he would have a stroke playing either the Swingfire or the Striker He hated the Type 60 and there not to different. The missiles are faster and they get early night vision, but that's about it Still very fun to play though

⁠​⁠​⁠@@sampackman69 The strikers missile can turn crazily though compared to the Swingfire. Also I wish to watch spook suffer >:)

@@rileyfitzsimons8875 fair point

Yes

Well, because that’s exactly what it is. How perceptive of you.

@@petrkdn8224you would notice that I’m not disagreeing with op here, I just decided to adopt a more passive-aggressive tone.

If it ain't broke

​​@@sampackman69 brooooo... What brokeness you talking about? U afraid that the 1 person on the world playing britain for once mught enjoy a slightly overperforming vehicle? Ppl afraid too much of britain while getting constantly shot by ZSU SPAAs

@@chomp5558 huh?

It's British so yeah

the full stab isnt that good, due to the tank its on but it should probably go to 6.7

Bruh. As if stabilizer changes anything, when even when you get tge first shot of you die anyways. Its 3 options you have with overpowered britsg vehicles: Shooz gunner, target will dtive off. Shoot driver, target will kill you. Shoot ammorack, it gos yellow and you die anyway.

tiger 2 doesn't suffer

@@daskollektiv4593 it doesn't, once you get a downtier or slight uptier, full uptier, better be skilled and have the snail on your side

@@culturemaster9639 tiger 2's do fine in full uptiers

@@daskollektiv4593 heat and apds Ur armour is nothing to them

@@culturemaster9639 yeah but low tier of both of those isnt very good
