THIS TANK RUINED MY LIFE - M56 in War Thunder

[@nathansherman5684]

Thank you Oddbawz! This means a lot, sorry that it was a suffer fest, I always played it like an Asu-57 with HEATFS, it’s quite a ratty tank that requires incredibly passive gameplay, but in the right circumstances, it is quite a menace :)

The fact that you can be denied a nuke by 1 second is despicable. Gaijin moment right there.

[@s4ss.m8]

Twice as well. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@GewelReal]

Simply spawning a nuke plane ahould give you the reward as if you have dropped the nuke

[@themilkman8554]

why? I've spawned it but never dropped it and we ended up losing... Am I salty, sure, but I'm not entitled to the drop or the medal for "spawning it in." Lol you want a participation trophy go play FFPS @@GewelReal

[@m4ndo224]

Maybe sit a little less drastic, but yeah getting the nuke at all has to be worth something

[@gavinjenkins899]

There's literally no possible set of rules where you COULDN'T be denied by 1 second, other than "instant nuke the moment you get the spawn points" (which is possible but kind of dumb IMO since you didn't do anything at all to earn it in that case. You already got rewards for the kills etc earlier, the nuke is supposed to be for the plane sequence). If there was some kind of grace period or something, then you could simply miss the grace period by 1 second, lol. Gaijin isn't despicable... you just didn't stop and think it through before angry-typing.

[@nargosvoge]

"and then i'm going to ban you forever" I almost spit out my drink from laughing. Good stuff sir lol.

[@TotallyNotRicardio223]

I LOVE the M56. It's an amazingly mobile flank destroyer in the right terrain (hills). Sure it dies if someone so much as thinks about looking at you, but the mobility and maneuverability more than makes up for that.

[@barronhelmutschnitzelnazi2188]

Even though the AML-90 is a higher br, I have a better time in it than the M56. Pretty much same playstyle as well.

[@gaiofattos2]

[@lpanades]

This is a Vietnam era vehicle intended to provide high firepower to suport infantry fighting. To provide this it should be aero-transportable and launched by parachutes. This vehicle is a joy. It is far better having one than having nothing. This vehicle is precious.

[@modoverkill7066]

I've been watching you for 3 years or so. I've learned how to tank and fly 100% better. Thank you, Odd.

[@balazsmejzer4213]

The crewman telling the range is the best thing on the Sturmtiger, the rangefinder regularly lies about how far a target is by 50-100m while the crewman usually says the correct range.

[@MrAviator10]

Me personally the M56 is such a chad vehicle, I average like 3 kills a game with just the M56, it’s got great acceleration, decent speed and while having literally negative armour I’ve bounced many shots and I personally really enjoy it but that’s my opinion

[@GoonyMclinux]

That little mf'er smokes me from across the map all the time. 🤣

[@jojomaster7675]

I mean, my top experiences in it have been: Taking out a tank's whole turret, but oops, he saw me and his commander mg still works, so I'm dead! Or trying to spot out targets for a heavy next to me, and then dying to splash damage from a HEAT shell that hit him. Yeah, I'll stick to the M41.

[@BlueLightningHawk]

Dude this thing is a blast to play. Especially when you are being sneaky and doing stuff like hiding behind low cover. They usually overlook it.

[@limey_]

It's like a worse ASU-57 due to it's higher br - but all the more fun when it goes well

[@swampyproductions6755]

@@limey_i love this tank, but if it was at 6.0 it might be more fun. 6.7 constant uptiers are just obnoxious and unfun

[@pauld6967]

ODD, you are a good guy. You admit right at the start that it doesn't suit your play style, by the 3rd battle you were using it much closer to the way it was intended to be used and you finish the video by acknowledging that the Scorpion isn't terrible, it's just not the vehicle for you.

[@chuggon7595]

Every tank that people hate, I love lmao. The M56 is absolutely fantastic if its your playstyle! Best way to play it is using its speed to rush to a rock, blend in, and pretty much annihilate the enemy team.

[@jgdowell]

Back to back heartbreakers. Brutal. I agree with you. That thing sucks just based on gun handling alone. It's a peek and shoot type tank, but it takes so long to stabilize.

[@onehopeofthedoomed]

You missed the most important part, you didnt press the pay to win button and put bushes all over the vehicle

[@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751]

That's what mine looks like , 😅

[@SchrodingerMil]

There's not many vehicles where I go full rat and bush it up, but the scorpion is just SO small and with the 0 armor, the bushes are kind of a must.

[@wrangler4405]

Oddbawz thank you my kind sir for your suffering! It really put a smile and made me laugh, which defiantly cheered me up. I've been having a rough time these past couple of months and you sir have made me happy as can be :)

[@Ulim151]

As a certified US rat main: I just love the M56 so much. If only people werent all so salty to go into cas 100% of the time you kill them. Its always about hiding after each kill. Also the hesh is much better than you think. It can clap tigers and panthers from the cupola almost every time. I even prefer using the HESH for sideshots on many tanks because hitting anywhere near the side ammo rack on a panther also just kills it. I tend to use HESH if I get the drop on someone and the heat for frontal attacks. Another massive fucking benefit. Doming someone with a HESH usually disables the top MG and if you kill the gunner also the coax.

[@augustussohn893]

So, now I need "He hit my crew member on the face" as an effect for when my crew gets killed. PS: I freaking love this tank. Speedy, sneaky and snipy. PPS: I need more of you doing an American accent.

[@flamingpotato8906]

Amazing video, and happy to be in the early crew! good job!

[@mpow3r972]

Great work Bawz, I couldn't imagine the frustration in playing this, but you make it entertaining 🤣

[@machinech183]

I love Odd, he cracks me up when he's unhappy. He gets so salty. The amount of hate he has for the scorp makes my sides hurt from laughing. You're genuinely awesome Oddbawz, never change.

[@manoletomol]

Oddbawz is the only person who could laugh off missing out on two nukes in a row

[@BeefIngot]

What you're missing is that between the first, second and game after them, there was a month of time.

[@JasonParker_114]

I am so glad Odd decided to play the m56, I tried to get him to play this thing years ago but he always refused.

[@MatildaMk2]

The design began as the A12 specification in 1936, as a gun-armed counterpart to the first British infantry tank, the machine gun armed, two-man A11 Infantry Tank Mark I. The Mark I was also known as Matilda, and the larger A12 was initially known as the Matilda II or Matilda senior. The Mark I was abandoned in 1940, and from then on the A12 was almost always known simply as "the Matilda". With its heavy armour, the Matilda II was an excellent infantry support tank but with somewhat limited speed and armament. It was the only British tank to serve from the start of the war to its end, although it is particularly associated with the North Africa Campaign. Only two were available for service by the outbreak of the World War II in 1939.[9] It was replaced in front-line service by the lighter and less costly Infantry Tank Mk III Valentine beginning in late 1941.

[@eleithias]

Despite the suffering, this was a great video Bawz! You coped the hell out of that thing!

[@BlueLightningHawk]

This is the vehicle that got me into playing Ground RB

[@asdfasdfasdfasdf-z3l]

Ok, new challenge: Take the poorest vehicle, kill enough to get a nuke, but time it so that the nuke hits the ground but doesn't explode before the game ends. You'll never be able to do that, but you did it twice in one video, well done!

[@rahrah5091]

This last map for the most part. You played that correct. Keep it back and hills in the way.

[@noahsawesomevids422]

I love m56 it’s hilarious when played correctly and it only good at mid to long range

[@neekniggit3606]

I am 54 now, but when I was 4 we had one of those in the city park of the small midwestern town I lived in. I found out one day that the elevation and traverse wheels still worked, but then the other kids did and then next thing we knew they welded them and our fun was gone.

[@Stackoverkill]

"If you like this tank you're a bad player who only plays passively" While i also hated my time with the scorpion i feel like the fact that this is one of Spookston's favorite vehicles nullifies that statement

“He het ma crew memba in da face “ OddBawZ 2023 quote of the year

[@Igzilee]

I actually really like this tank. Since the T92 got moved up I'll be keeping it for my 6.7 lineup unless I happen to like the m50.

[@bobybot9320]

wait why did the t92 get pushed up? didi it get a buff? it was fine before but not worth a higher br IMO

[@whoknows8864]

No buff, I guess gaijin thinks 76mm apcr is too op at 6.7. I also don't think the jumbo needed to go up AGAIN though. But what do I know?

[@justmarc2015]

M50 is awesome. I never even used the Scorpion.

[@PhoenixOfArcadia]

There's another reason why some people like the M56, and it's for one thing that you never do Odd: They coat that thing to hell and back with bushes and just rat out, killing people while being practically invisible as they are bushier than a 1970's French adult video star so people can't distinguish what is an M56 and what is just an actual bush until it moves or has fired at you, likely killing you or at the very least your ability to fire back.

[@koenruysseveldt3848]

First time i heard the new crew voices today saying: " Get ready to put the kettle on lads". when playing Britain and victorious. . Lol.

[@fousca]

Gaijin should definitely freeze the ticket counter whenever a nuke is in the air, like I bet 70% of player who got the nuke didn't manage to drop them because they ran out of time/ticket, even I suffered that once or twice

[@joshcorbett9674]

Happened to me the single time I got one

[@thecommonfool2110]

[@oddforoddssake3751]

[@shadowcat5336]

Hahahaha “back to the suffer…..” made me crack up.

[@JohnMasterChief117]

The pain I felt with those nukes 😭 the only nuke I’ve ever called in the enemy decapped one of the points and I couldn’t drop the bomb in time. I wish there was some grace period, where if you’re up in the air unless you get shot down and the bomb can’t go off, it lets the game extend. Like a sudden death almost.

[@limey_]

You should do the T92 if you haven't already, Bawz

[@bobybot9320]

finally bawz plays the rat god, thx man, i don't get the hate you have for this thing, a us 90mm and no armor is peak tank design. The thing almost shoots and scouts for you: the recoil pushes you back into cover after each shot, what's not to love?

[@Enemy0fMine1415]

[@mattbrown7935]

I feel your pain, I lost my first nuke to ticket bleed I got in the T-72A. I was 2km out going full throttle with my team and the enemy team possessing a cap, my teammate lost it unfortunately before I could get there

[@pyromaniacal13]

That poor guy in the intro, it's a rare event that someone gets shot in the actual face in this game. One day I hope to be good enough to get a nuke with a tank that I like, let alone with one that I hate.

[@georgeerhard1949]

The M56 is the tank version of a sniper in a ghillie suit. If you're made, you're dead. But until that point, you can one-shot a lot of tanks at the same BR, from places they'd never expect. It's just a lot of work to set up the shots cos of the limited traverse/elevation. Also, NO machine gun, so you're at the complete mercy of CAS planes.

[@S4B3R117]

Love this lil goblin tank. Pure schnannigans every time

[@LucasC-u4f]

Bro chill. Spookston likes this thing. Can you do a video of spookston using his favourite tank and ur fav tank for every br and see the changes in gameplay?

[@DeltaS64Lima]

I bet I'm just asking in vein for a South African TTD centurion MBT video but 2 months to go to make it official 3 years off asking for one video I just ❤it Thanks Mate.

[@christianguzman8228]

The Scorpion wouldn't be quite so bad if Gaijin didn't mellow it out through, ironically enough, balancing the Scorpion. It's missing the commander in the commander's seat.. And the fire rate is about 50% longer than what the gun can handle, and also as if the ready rack isn't the loader's lap.

[@ChristopherHays-bx7fs]

Hey Oddbawz! I’d love to see you play the type 74 and mess the hydro pneumatic suspension! Love the content!

[@ealep0314]

Yeah, that's why i almost always just use the aphe - for those cheeky side-shots that it can be quickly positioned for. I become a complete gremlin, and of course I have a T-26-E5 or something else in my lineup. Never bring it out solo that's why it hurts.

[@Smokey348]

[@KiritoYakuza]

I still remember when i was working my way through the American tree, I died in the M56 because a Tiger that decided to sit RIGHT next to me took a heat shell to his turret cheek, and a SINGULAR piece of shrapnel bounced off him and straight into my crew member. Hadnt lost any crew yet at that point so should have lived, but Gaijin said no.

US 6.7 is one of my favorite BRs to play, and the M56/T34 combo with A1H/F2G for planes. I was sad the T92 got bumped up so now have to use the super Pershing as an alternate. The problem wasn't the M56 with your nukes - its the fact that you end up on teams at this BR with a lot of people who are just terrible and your teams collapse. Also I wouldn't bother with APHE at this tier, and in watching you struggled every time you ran out of HEATFS
