Evolving Tanks Until I Reach The Biggest Missiles in War Thunder!

[@VIDireWolfIV]

The fact that the US doesn’t have a classic looking TOW Launcher vehicle like the M113 or the Humvee is kinda crazy to me.

[@lancistyes]

28:20 it is what is a 1st gen missile. the bmp also has it, the 2nd gen missile is mouse controlled

[@USSWisconsin]

Yup, and it definitely isn't the only vehicle. There are even agms that use the same control scheme, which is much worse cause you dive to fire it.

[@Redstoneprofi01]

​@@USSWisconsinalthough i believe it's the only vehicle or one of 2 that doesn't have an upgrade to mouse guided

the swingfire is my favourite being able to hide behind cover with the 45degree launch angle is so fun

[@LNERMALLARD4468]

Loved the video, wanted to drop my two cents and let you know that Reversing with the Panzerwerfer is historicaly accurate. The half tracks would be reversed into position so in case they took fire they could leave the spot quickly.

[@nichtthunder]

Ma I love the Panzerwerfer 42 (Pz.W. 42), it's an incredibly good and borderline OP tank. After a while the rockets become very easy to aim, and they almost always one shot the enemy. And btw, you can actually shoot directly forward with it, the MG doesn't have an effect on that.

[@MyGamingBacklog]

The "evolving" series is always a treat! Love it :)

[@AshenVanguard]

The TOW (The first one at least) can be jammed. Because it uses IR (I think?) or something like that, to determine the missile's position relative to where the scope is pointing. So it can be jammed. But from what I know, TOW-2 is immune to that.

[@poopsitoutgaming7575]

Correct!

[@tbomb69]

No the TOW has always been wire guided, but it can be jammed by systems like shtorra, which came out about 15 years to late and no longer works on any modern missiles used by any competent military.

[@pepimcpeepson]

Two things I've always wondered about the wired Missiles is: A) does the rocket not burn off that piece of wire ? B) do these vehicles actually have multiple kilometers of wire just stored inside ?

[@brooosky]

a) due to how fast the rocket is the wire probably does not have enough time to get hot and burn if the wire is stored and coming out of the missile b) probably located in the missile due to how thin the wire actually is( no idea about this)

[@PanzerPaw]

The wire spool is on the launcher, not the missile

[@brooosky]

@@PanzerPaw oh nvm then both of my answer are wrong then

[@SurplusGeek]

Former TOW Gunner here. In the case of the TOW, the wire is actually in the rear of the missile itself. It does carry enough wire to travel the distance depending on the missile but most variants can go as far as 3750 meters, with later variants being 4500 meters. Once the missile is fired, the rocket motor only lasts for about a few seconds and then the missile glides to the target. The early variants of the TOW can be jammed. This was done by confusing the optical tracker unit which uses a thermal beacon on the back of the missile to guide the missile. The later TOW 2 variants introduced a Xenon Beacon which makes it harder to jam.

[@ShadowDragon1848]

Pz. W. stands for "Panzerwerfer" and German again shows how weird and cool it is. Directly translated into English Panzerwerfer would be tank thrower or thrower of tanks. Which sounds funny, but isn´t really what the name means. It doesn't throw tanks, nor does the name suggest it does (not like the Nebelwerfer). A more faithful translation is armoured thrower. But that's also not really correct, because it doesn't "throw" rockets. It just is their transportation vehicle. The rockets are fired like any other rocket is. But "thrower" or Werfer is one of the German words for rocket launcher (rocket launcher means Raketenwerfer in German). Honestly I don't really know why that is (maybe someone knows why). To conclude Panzerwerfer just means Armoured rocket launcher. But it's funny when you translate it less faithfully.

[@georgeerhard1949]

The M113 shows up in the American tree! It's the chassis for the M901 "Wall-E" TOW launcher which is a squadron vehicle.

Also almost every tank that has Rockets/Missiles can adjust angle of attack even thou it doesn't look like it you need to change to secondary Weapon which will give you Sights for the Rockets/missiles ALSO FYI Maps do not always Measure the same distance per Square in each map, each map is actual different sizes on every map its fking nutz

I wouldn’t say rockets on tanks don’t work, rather using rockets as your primary armament doesn’t work. Plenty of tanks have 1 to 2 ATGM’s as emergency offensive weapons that I believe work perfectly. The Bradly and the BPM being two perfect examples. If you wanna get technical they are AFV and troop transports but on paper they are a tank. They behave exactly like lighter tanks. So rockets are great ideas as quick offensive weapons to help you get away or get the first shot off before the battle even starts, but yes rockets as a primary armament was an idea that just didn’t really work.
