Interesting factoid, the SMK is one of the very, very few tanks in the game that has a functional mg on the back of the turret. So if you thought you were crazy watching it wiggle around the whole video, you weren't 😊

[@maschinenkanone108]

Might have something to do with the fact it's a .50 cal

[@Kraus-]

We didn't pen with the first ten shots, but if we keep aiming at the same spot it might go through due to quantum physics.

[@uncletiggermclaren7592]

Unfortunately, the armor was reinforced with the Pauli Exclusion buff. Unless the shells have taken three years of advanced physics they won't even understand what happened.

Guess we need to use weaponized magnetic monopoles then.

That first battle... Damn, that's a freakin' tank. Just sitting there taking the damage while slowly dealing it out.

[@connivingkhajiit]

heavy tanks in downtiers are the most fun you can have in this game. Well, that and proxy round artillery against aircraft.

[@MarshmaloWarrior]

Quick history lesson on the SMK: When the USSR was developing thier new heavy tank to replace the T-35, two competing designs were chosen for testing, these were the SMK and the T-100. Two SMKs and one T-100 were sent to the frontline against Finland in the Winter War. To cut a long story short, the SMK performed better. The Hull was redesigned, the front turret removed, and the KV-1 was born. The T-100 was sent to a warehouse were it sat for a few years. Until it was pulled out, had a 130mm naval gun mounted in a casemate, and renamed the SU-100Y for the defence of Moscow.

[@rcrawford42]

What I read is there were two KV-1 and a single SMK sent to the Finnish front. The SMK got bogged down, the crew escaped, and after two weeks of trying to recover it, they gave up. The SMK just wasn't effective for its weight and expense.

[@person4436]

Those were things that I did not know lol. What’s funny is they just pulled something out of storage and put a damn naval gun on it lmao

[@fatman4541]

Another strangely good russian tank is the 2.0 t-70 and the 2.3 t-80 now yes it has a painful turret rotation but it has really good hull armour but the turret armour is slightly lacking but no one shoots there so you can survive a while

[@Uubier]

my favorite thing to do with the US and UK m3 lee and one other multi turret tank was to separate them in aiming, when i got into a good brawl spot, and leave one watching my 6 and the other front, such a fearsome beast when used like that, walts out into an alley looking left and right, or keep one front and the other sweeping the left as you move past somewhere.

[@Uubier]

lol i remember even getting the 50 involved with some shenanigans, started to learn that sometimes i can operate just the mg to hit some planes and leave my barrel on target, AND that the mg can see over cover and get a few crits sometimes

[@soupidmonkey]

a 6 second repair for a turret ring with only 2 crew? Good lord thats insane 16:25

[@OddBawZ]

Yeah, it does it SO fast. Fastest repair of any tank.

Loving your content so far. New subscriber, I just recently got into warthunder after playing WoT for almost a decade and watching you play while explaining youre reasoning for why youre doing what youre doing has helped me be a little more mindful while playing warthunder. Ive learned quite a bit just from watching your videos and youre very entertaining, thank you and keep it up 😊

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

I hope that one day we get the T-100 heavy tank in the game, either through the new event vehicle system or through the Battle Pass.

[@liladoodle]

Considering that Gaijin is now only putting two vehicles into the battle pass now, I seriously doubt that we'll ever get the T-100 in the game via the battle pass.

[@Haaton-of-the-Basement]

The T-100 paired with its Casemate version SU-100 would be cool ngl. But since the T-100 would have less firepower.

[@TomPrickVixen]

My issue with similar tanks is how the game prioritizes which crew member should be replaced with witch; like in the "M3 Lee" the loader of the 37mm gun has the priority over the the 75mm's (or at least it was; haven't played it for a while).

[@jacobscott2473]

I'm pretty sure that the "Dynamic LUT", found in Options -> Post FX on the right side of screen, is the reason why some map/weather combos look so dark with no shadows. I turned off and set tone mapping to Reinhard; which when turned down low helps make the ridges on snow maps more visible, instead of one great big patch of pure white until it hits the sky.

[@joonasnaski9513]

One of these was used in Finland during the winter war. I can only imagine how scary it was to see one of these as Finland had few anti-tank cannons to combat this. Also at the time Finlands own armor was vickers 6-ton light tanks and ww1 renault FT light tanks. That meant that if it werent for the anti-tank mine finnish soldiers would have get very close to it to destroy it with molotov cocktails, anti-tank grenades or satchel charges. That or pray that a lucky artillery shell landed on top of it.

[@clausroquefort9545]

get keybinds for the secondary gun and the machinegun. you will be able to control the rear .50cal and aim your 45mm cannon properly. also bring APCR for the 45mm cannon. you sometimes need the extra penetration (like at 15:00). it's good for shooting at planes too because of it's high velocity.

[@miketkaczyk894]

[@polarblood8707]

22:30 a teeter totter / seesaw cap would be great for a new game mode with a huge cap point, or as a replacement for that Naval single cap game mode. I wonder if it would help or compound the issue of many players going to 'the meta' point of the map if it was a straight replacement.
