Maximizing The GERMAN Bias - German T-72M1 - War Thunder

[@Manaphy0882]

I absolutely love the early T-72' look. Such a beautiful machine.

[@j.k6943]

The T-72M indeed had worse coverage on the turret armor than on the Russian T-72A because that was cheaper to produce. In game tho it's only visually different since the actual armor protection is volumetric and not affected by the Xray module.

[@TeurastajaNexus]

It's an M1, not an M. There's a big difference.

[@Sh-epard]

The T-72M was know as Ural which have just a monolithic steel turret, then the M1 (or Ural-1) introduced the same filler used later on the A model (the quartz turret), with many original Ural upgraded to both version Ural-1 and T-72A (mod.1979).

[@j.k6943]

I only want the T-55AM-2B and then that's enough for NVA tanks

[@masterweeb4870]

Im curious if they'll add the BRDM's in aswell, I mean the East German block did have and use them actively

[@othicx]

I want the M55-s but im cool with any t-55 variant lol.

[@theironwolf1871]

I want the T-54AMZ, since it was a East German varient only used by East Germany

[@aslatabistaalphonso4250]

I strongly agree with you on that.. Germany 8.3-8.7 doesn't have much to offer in terms of medium tanks and its should've been added long long time ago.

[@IanAwfuls]

That turret armor in the x-ray is simply bugged. T-72M1 has the same level of protection as Soviet T-72A.

[@Joker61861]

Dude you killed it. That initial streak in the dark was wild. And I like when you play the map knowledge maps because it helps me find better ways to play so I can actually aid my team and not just aid the enemy

[@randomexcessmemories4452]

The next one should be the T-54AMZ. It is a variant which is natively GDR, so it would really be fun.

[@luke4585]

There's a DDR film called 'Offiziere' which has some great tank sequences with T-55s and T-72s, its a super cool watch.

[@petrkdn8224]

2:52 , the reason you might be surviving more in t80s, is because they use the vertical loading system, as in war thunder, the entire loading system is covered in armour (which is not visible in xray) and that is what is "preventing" majority of the spalling on russian tanks ( this is why when you shoot the side turret, it does actually spall a lot), while on the t72s and t90s, the loading system is down low, which is also protected by the armor around the carousel, but by that fact, there is no armor in middle of the tank, which means when you shood middle side on these tanks, like t72 and t90, they spall far more, normally. I think there is little russian bias (maybe slight changes needed for some russian tanks) but it mostly comes down to the damage model, which even some non russian/chinese tanks have. According to the WT WIKI, armor thinner than 5mm doesnt spall. If you go into nvidia ansel and do free view in the hangar, and go inside the tank while in armor view, you can see there is internal armour, which is light blue (very thin), so its presumably under 5mm. There are actually multiple non russian/chinese tanks with internal armour thinner than 5mm and it also doesnt produce spall, but only CONSUMES spall. This is why russian tanks feel so strong. This is why the merkava sometimes spalls a ton, when you shoot the turret ring area, there is the external armour, and then there is an additonal armor which is THICKER than 5mm, so it produces fuck ton of spall., but if you hit slighlty under that , or over, you do almost no damage. After i told you this, you know where to shoot, avoid areas with thin internal armour. When i tell people i have no problems with russian tanks they just call me a russia shill lmao

[@TheArbiter1721]

Yeah tbh the vast majority of the WT community is retarded, they would rather have “ I shoot the Russian tank anywhere and the turret flies off like in those Ukraine videos” then and actual tan’ that fights back.

[@Sh-epard]

It was a fine experience with the Finnish one, for being armed just with the 3BM22. It lacks some pen value but the spall output is great even facing other Soviet/Russian tanks (one tapping TURMS was so fun)

[@_hamgurbur_2273]

hey justin!:) your vids always make my day whenever I see them come up on my recommended, thanks and keep doing what you're doing:)

[@unoriginalplays120]

Justin about the spalling on the bmp3, it has a fuel tank in the front that eats every dart, even dm53. Check in protection analysis, if you shoot direct front the dart's spalling will be eaten and it will kill the driver and maybe the engine.

[@JustinPlaysTV]

Oh I'm aware, it's just frustrating as all hell..

[@agentusm7871]

Bro, Fuel is liquid, the spalling mostly get stuck inside the fuel tank itself

[@shikikanaz4624]

hey justin, with the recent BR change i think its now worth doing a revisit on the base ztz96, it can pen everything (except t72b unless you aim for weakspot), war better turret rotation speed and 10km reverse, and its been maybe 3 years since your last video

[@farmcat9873]

I always scout in my light tanks but it seems like its not enough points given to the person that scouted the enemy when a teammate kills them. Also, the drones wish they actually scouted the enemy and not just marked a spot where they were because when they are moving it's almost pointless because, by the time you get back into and start moving in your light tank, the enemy is already way away from the mark you put showing they are or were there. But if you're a light tank then drones should do the same thing as if you scouted from your tank.

[@evo3s75]

what is better? 3BM15 or 3BM22? I use 3BM15 on my T-64A and don't have the T-72A yet

[@Sh-epard]

3BM22 since it's the "best" APFSDS of torpedo shape for the 125mm gun. You should always look for the best penetration value at 60°, not at 0° (which is relative to a flat armor plate).

[@oranmcdougall2650]

Depends on your needs. I use 3BM15 for the higher velocity and being the dirty camper I am my targets are the flat armor plates so the 60 angle isn't required.

Germany should not get Russian tanks. I say this because Germany is already a formidable country in its higher tier lineups and further bolstering them with some of the best tanks in their br is only going to create problems and especially add to their already horrendous br problems.

[@Eaglespirit007]

Great tank

[@AdaaDK]

How manny try´s did you need to do to get this manny downtiers, i mean i usually get about 80-95% out of 100 matches as uptiers, so the fact you can show 2+ downtiers up in this video, means you either played a LOT to get the photage, OR get unresnably lucky. Also 8-9 range is rough br whise, a lot of those sub 9.0 tanks dosnt get thermal or laser rangefinders, so its a lot easyer on downtiers vs those guys imo. So a T72M1 in downtiers has a lot of advantages, esp when most of the 8.7-8.3(8.0) tanks needs to aim relatively well for presice pens on your front, while u can autopen them almost anywhere with 400+ mm pen rounds.
