Валентайн не участвовали в арденнской операции, к тому времени они устарели и использовались только как учебные машины. 88 Flak Sfl. применялся только в итальянской компании, и никак не мог оказаться в Бельгии, а ягдтигры пошли в бой только в марте 1945,когда битва за бастонь уже закончилась.

Damn Muffin, you handsome devil! You look like you should be famous for drumming not KZbin.

[@matchlock5.56]

One thing I noticed is your pronunciation of Bastogne, it's pronounced more like 'Bah-Stone', not 'Bah-Ston-Yah'.

[@f1redr5g0n]

It was fun helping in the event! Sadly after killing 8 people in Tiger 2 I got killed by a teammate. Well... The tradition of Germany teams stayed even in custom battles xD

[@axrinator]

Thats sad because the germans where the best tankers in ww2

[@gorndiego]

Hi I was the Tiger II that killed you. Was my first Sim Battle ever and you just scared me as you came around the corner right behind the flaming tank without marking. I have already apologized in the round and after the game but I'll do it again I'm sorry that I killed you

[@f1redr5g0n]

@@gorndiego Well... Its fine I accept your apology, but I was kinda mad because I wasn't even looking at u and we had the same tank, also shooting as fast as possible in Simuation Battles isn't the best option, not even mentioning about that Jumbo or M18 can't pen you frontally.

Nice to see my favorite battle in War Thunder. As far as vehicles go, M36s and M10s were also present in the battle, as well as sd.kfz.234s and Jagdpanzer 38s

"surrender america, we have overpower you and outnumber you" Americans: "Nuts"

[@WarmPillow-hs6kj]

King Tiger vs Tiger 1. Pershing’s (All variants if preferred) vs Tiger 1 and Panther tanks. Any nation in the WW2 era vs each other in an Air battle. (Kind of like a Battle of Britain scenario.) Prototype tanks vs Production tanks Defend the king/ president. Each team gets a Maus, and the max BR range is 6.7. The objective is to protect your Maus and kill the opposing team’s Maus. First jet fighters vs most modern jet fighters. First mbt’s vs most modern mbt’s. This was just some ideas I had, anyways nice video. I found it surprisingly how well the Americans did, but I’m not surprised. Speed is king.

[@Jenkouille]

A funny thing to do would something "Battle of France" themed: 1940's France/BEF vs may 1940's germans tanks, with an historical round (no "prototypes", no 2C, and no ammunitions not available in may 1940 (excluding heat and PzGr40)), and an unhistorical one without ammunition/proto limitations.

[@maxmachac9756]

It is truly incredible how consistently the german players are blind and deaf

[@iuliancoarna6792]

German tanks engine makes a lot of noise that sometimes you can't hear another tank espeacially if its a lil further

[@5co756]

@@iuliancoarna6792 Sure but if your teammates get killed in front of you , you have to look left or right . And not rush stupid foreward like you are John Rambo .

[@marquezrios4987]

If they’re surrounded, then you should probably give them less ammunition, because then ammunition will be scarce since nothing can give them like resupplying

[@MPdude237]

Hey Muffin, great video! Given this is simulator rules, I think an Ersatz M10 would have been beneficial to the Germans, since it vaguely resembles a M10, but it’s just as likely that it might get TK. May I suggest make a suggestion? Late Cold War American CAS vs Soviet AA battle. I would like to see a CW Gone hot scenario based on the late 70s or the 80s. A-10, F-16, F-14, AH-64, and late F-4 vs Shilka, Strela, Tunguska, and Tor. I would like to see a scenario of how this would play out. To make it more interesting, the CAS aircraft are tasked with destroying Soviet Vehicles including tanks, trucks (GAZ milk trucks are an acceptable substitute), and other AFV of the time, and the AA systems must protect them. Besides player count, there are a few tools to balance the matchup such as what weapons are permitted, altitude restrictions (S-300s would pose a major threat at medium and high altitudes), allowing a limited number of Soviet Interceptors to help, or altering the objectives to favor one side. Of course alter it as you see fit to make the scenario more interesting or to make it more feasible, but something I think other viewer would like to see.

Its oddly similar with durimg the last years of the war, german tanks have a distinct advantage at range while defending. On the last years of the war since the war turn to the defense, A german heavy is inpenetratable from afar

[@striker6738]

cool now eat a bomb

[@rcaf_ozzie5802]

Anyone has a "distinct advantage" at defending. You know the land and have time to set up, the Sherman's could also most likely be quite strong at range aswell.

In the recent updates in War Thunder and the new crew voices added, I honestly just cannot get used to it. I am so familiar with the old voices the new ones just sound so out of place for me. I know it's a minor thing but, is there a way to change the voices back to the originals or have them muted at all?

If you go to the sound settings you should be able to mute your crew using the speech and FMV slider.

@@ThunderWithMuffin Funnily enough, i come from Bastogne and the video of " how to pronounce Bastogne " is actually not very accurate , the voice has a huge foreign accent and insists on the wrong letters.

Well pretty blind German players I have to say , this M18 got over 10 kills flanking them 100m away . And they all keep moving without looking left and right , 100% German Tiger 1 history channel player . 😅 Also no Panther F was ever finished , there were some Panther G's with the better protected F hull . But no Schmalturm was ever fitted on a Panther chassis , you can't pen the F hull with .50cals from the sky for example .

lol when german tanks dont break down or run out of gas they really are unstoppable

[@SHEEPS_123]

the tiger 2 being in this battle is hardly historical and the jagtiger... well it sunk into the ground before it could get into the battle. lets all remember that the most common tank used by germany was the pz 4, and by the end of the war was the panther tank because of its cheaper costs

[@SHEEPS_123]

@@Watermelon-nh4sp yes, this is because irl tanks were mostly used to support infantry, this was the role of the sherman, thats why the sherman "never really" got any upgrades in firepower from the 76. 4 times? maybe 2x at best, the m10/m36 was very common
