GERMANY STOLE A T-34 AND UPGRADED IT

[@blowbert9126]

Most OP lineup in the game is most likely bringing all the captured tanks that germany has. Captured Sherman, t-34, KV-1, Churchill etc and just stomp everyone.

[@bruges1964]

I did that like an hour ago. It's a cash machine lmao

[@angreyhewe4009]

I shot a German Churchill in the side with an Su 152 and it didn’t pen. It wasn’t the HE round either.

[@Bheliar]

That Churchill is an absolute menace, and the German KV2 is by far my favorite tank in the game. Absolutely love the performance. It’s kinda hilarious how cheap they get during those mega sale events, I think I got 5-6 tanks for less than $20 bucks total.

The T-34 with a 75mm PaK kinda existed, the Finnish army refitted a T-34-85 with a 75mm Stuk 40 gun (from a hetzer). This conversion was called the ps. 245-4 and I think that it would be good at 4.7 between the panzer IV H/J and panther D.

[@PaulieLDP]

The other bias point of T-34s is the entire side of the tank is lined with radiators, so when you shoot the side there's a better than 50% chance you'll just hit a radiator which doesn't do shit in WT.

[@adamg7984]

It used to be a lot worse too. The fuel tanks in the T-34 and KV-1 used to just eat your shots entirely even if you penned. Since they added the fuel exploded mechanic it at least stops those from being an effective spall liner. Which is genuinely how they acted before.

[@wolfgang_h3t]

[@Masonjar94]

That’s actually what happened. The turrets would be destroyed but the chassis would be fine, or when the Russians would run out of fuel they would sometimes just abandon the vehicle. The Germans even used it to mount the 20-mm Flakvierling 38 anti-aircraft gun aka the flakpanzer t-34r.

[@grahamstrouse1165]

I suspect the main reason they swapped out turrets was because they had a lot of German ammo & experience with German guns…

[@darkwizard_duke]

the T34 german version, its just like the kv1 the germans have , its annoying to kill especialy if thers a phly in the tank

[@XemawthEvo2]

KV-1 (L-11) has the exact same turret mechanics, except it can partially stop German 75mm/M10 M64 shot. It acts like a spall liner and is completely OP

Hey Phly! You should check out the Italian C13 T90! It was the vehicle that got me my phirst nuke, and I’d like to see it and the ABUL/74 (specifically the 90mm) on the channel! The combo means in any terrain you can get to a sneaky spot, and scout phor tons of SP! (Day 85) (But play the Hawk III first)

[@philipje1]

@PhlyDaily There is a hidden 20-30 mm (?) plate around the gun breech hidden inside. That's the hidden Russian bias. Stuff like that. You can see it when you perfectly align your mouse between the vertical crack of the "cheeks" of the turret and the gun mantlet itself

I at least shot him 15 times, and my team was shoting at him all the time. So I think he got like at minimum 40+ shots. Multiple artillery bombardments. He soaked all. He survived. Multiple times he was tracked and in repair mode and he just stand there. Many wrecked tanks, both ours and enemy gathered around him so he could hide behind them. Meanwhile he get support from others and so I died. I came with plane to bomb him. I droped bomb. Yep he survived that too. Nuts. He won that game for their team.

7:25 The fact that you can do that in War Thunder, makes this game better and more realistic than WoT in my opinion! In WoT you can't sit in a shadow and be undetected. Not when a tank passing you by from this close! You would get spotted and everyone in the enemy team can see you and your position! The HP bar gives you away! There are also many other reasons why I think WT is the best tank battle game! This is just one of them!!

[@ODST6262]

The German Pak 36(r) is a Russian field gun but rechambered for Pak 40 75mm ammunition which has twice the propellant of the 76.2mm Russian gun and a better shell APCBC-HE. I wonder if Gaijin decided to do the same to the T34/76 gun, even though the Germans never modified them that way. It should have a cupola as well. That they did add for good visibility. As to the front turret armor looks like they welded the curved plate onto the base armor so there is the 53mm bulge plus the 45mm base armor plus the front turret angle and the curved plate. That gets you the 100mm effect. Try shooting the mantlet.

Germany also has the best KV-2, with the soviet equivalent (the KV-2 (1940)) being a rare vehicle and the KV-2 (1939) being the worst version of the KV-2. It also has the best desert and city camo because of them only being one color that is very cloe to their surroundings.
