HIGH EXPLOSIVE DERP TANK - 2S1 in War Thunder

The 2S1 in War Thunder is an Artillery Tank that has a 400mm penetrating HEAT-FS at just 6.0 BR!
Compared to the 2S3M, it's not as good for derping tanks with HE... however, its long range sniping capabilities are REALLY good due to the HEATFS round it get access to.
There really isn't much to say about this vehicle other than it's good. So long as you stay away from artillery and machinegun fire due to your 7mm of armour all round... you can be a very nasty surprise for the enemy indeed! :)
7 Dumplings out of 10!

Could you do a video on the Olifant Mk. 1A? (The South African Centurion.)

Could ye please try one of the new Swedish 8.7-9.3 br Strv 104 or Strv 105? They appear to be upgraded Centurions, similar to the Megach series in Israel.

[@lithobreak3812]

Haven't had the chance to play this yet but it seems like it has the best prox fuze shell in the game, while other self propelled artillery vehicles have prox shells with only a 3 meter radius this things shell has a radius of 7 meters, which tells me that maybe that shell was actually intended for AA use, unlike most the other artilleries that have proximity shells meant to detonate just before they hit the ground

[@lairyhegs9956]

Hey Odd, been playing the M60A1 AOS a lot recently and it's been tons of fun. The APDS round seems like it acts more as an APFSDS round with how good its post-pen is and I get almost constant uptiers. You should definitely consider making a video on it. As always, love the content. Keep up the great work!

[@jaiparaskevas824]

yeah its weird. only 250mm of pen but feels like a ton more. I use it at 10.0 sometimes for fun.

[@theliteralworst9416]

The apds round on the aos is a second generation subcaliber munition rather than something the Leo’s apds or centurion mk10’s relatively earlier generation apds, it doesn’t have the pure pen of something like shot mk3 or dm13 but it has high angle values through the use of a more effective cap and denser construction, these higher angle values allow it to penetrate less but penetrate more often and at steeper angles

I personally LOVE playing the 2S1 and I love the play style it has cause using it without heat makes you aim for weak spots and stuff which helped me learn to aim better

[@Mohenjo_Daro_]

Chi-Ha LG is so good. I accidently put a 4.3 on my line up and took it to 5.3 and it did fine. Just a solid tank until someone remembers what machineguns are

[@user-ns4zm8qe9p]

[@BelgianBeerBuddy]

Love your videos man. I actually quit War Thunder about half a year ago. Too much frustration. LOL But watching you have fun, sucked me right back into the game. 😄

[@ralffsmith2655]

Outstanding You could take that sequence where you fought the tempest and the AA units and put it to music... fantastic playing 🎉

[@notsoracistraspberry4168]

As someone who has played the vickers temptest as a fighter in ARB and have done particularly well (ive had a lot of practice with large caliber cannons in aircraft prior) that was hilarious to watch. The best marksmanship i have ever seen

[@JessWLStuart]

Always enjoyable watching OddBawZ play!

[@drexsol2312]

The thing i hate about this tank is the amo rack in the back of the hull is buged. Any APHE like shell that gos through that area will set off the fuse of the shell despite having no amo there.

[@mehmeddervic2396]

I don't know if you intended to make a dad joke at 4:07 but it was really funny amazing as always

[@atticusseverus]

Been awhile since I last played, quit for a long time, but god do I love solid headphones! Easy to hear even small engines and penpoint there angles/locations to an ok degree compared to old time where it was just noisy. Another reason finding a good spot further in and cutting your engine (if your engine isn't powering your bloody turret that is) and just waiting for enemies to feed you. Thanks for another enjoyable vid odd!

[@Phantom_Of_Fury]

That Tempest with those big cannons (Don't remember which model it is)... THAT WAS EPIC!!!

[@DolanOk]

@@Laser_601 I read that in Arnold's voice lmao, just gotta let everyone push up and avoid letting the big ass first half of the tank stick out. The turret is so far back that turning corners is a problem cause they can shoot you way before you can get a shot on them.

[@jimd9053]

Odd is certainly a better player than me but in my experience, the HE round is much more consistent than the HEAT round

[@joebloggs7514]

Hmmm, it’s almost like era based brs are needed as Korean/Cold War vehicles shouldn’t be facing WW2 vehicles.

the 2s1 of all vehicles is not what you should be complaining about, era based BRs are one of the worst ways to "fix" the compression at certain BRs

I find the He shell more useful than the heatfs shell, with the heatfs shell I find you quite often just overpen stuff

[@ChickenCombo27]

you cant overpen with HEAT, thats not a thing

[@philipped.r.6385]

HEAT-FS are just kind of hit or miss shells. Sometimes, you one shot stuff and some other time, you just kill the hull machine gunner. They really have terrible post pen damage.
