[@ThiccYoroi]

"War thunder is how well you can manage your blood pressure" im gonna use that quote from now on.

[@wanttobeprivate7466]

It's the most accurate quote I can think of for WarThunder. I once flat-on hit a t34 from 100m in the side of the turret with a sturer emil 248 mm pen round... flat on the middle of the turret's side. It didn't penetrate. It scored a hit, so not a ghost shell... it just... magically did nothing. The t34 just turned its turret and wasted me. That's when I uninstalled. This video is phly's reaction to a shit vehicle, but it's my reaction to all of the shitty situations this game creates haha.

[@pierluigiadreani2159]

this last event broken me...

[@koenruysseveldt3848]

And it's so very true. I wish somebody had said to me in the beginning,(i am now lvl 74 and am taking it a bit more seerious,i always just played just to play and spent about 5 minutes in every battle before being killed)do NOT take this game serious because you will loose your sanity very fast,in about a half a month or so. 😂

Just for information about the 140mm ACRA missile launcher: 1-) the ATGM cost about 1 000 000 francs (french currency; which represent 10 000 000 new francs - or 1 500 000€ ~ more or less) - due to the ammo cost, the project was shut down few years later (only the AMX-10 & AMX-30 got an ACRA variant) 2-) there is a 2nd ammunition for the use of the 140mm, it's an unguided HE rocket; which isn't a 140mm (like the ATGM) but a smaller caliber.

[@Mister_Clean]

All that money building and manufacturing an advanced ATGM like that, only to load it in a non-turreted, central-mantlet based chassis What were the French thinking? Just fire it out of a tube lmao

[@AdrianOkay]

​@@Mister_Clean they could have made it shoot out like artillery and do a top attack or something

[@TurMukan]

@@Mister_Clean from what i heard, the 152mm of the M551 Sheridan and some other thoughts were the inspiration. As "armor" lost most of its worth with the new 1950's shell (Sabot & HEAT rounds), it was thought that Missiles would replace any classic anti-tank weapon (more accuracy, possibility to guide beyond visual range). The ACRA is from the 1970's - at that era, Western Europe was hiding / protecting itself from a Soviet Invasion with as " 100 missiles for 1 soviet tank " or something similar. Plus if you think about it : a guiding system for the ammo would still be more efficient than a cumbersome stabilizer for a turret = to give idea on the Tank Fighting Policy: in the 1960's, it was more or less estimated that T-55's serie would be efficient around 1,3km, while the 105mm L/7 would give a range of 1,5km - meanwhile the french 105mm F1 was given up to 2,1km with its special OCC F1. An anti-tank missile would go easily above those range (as long as the guidance would allow it). Longer range than the enemy = safer & more disrupting for the enemy = politicaly an auto-win.

[@nicolasbeucler9940]

I've read that the Amx 10m was only made to test the missile,it was not mean to be a real war vehicule

[@bpmgaming3351]

Phly, after watching your videos, I did what I said I'd never do, and actually focus on playing tanks. You made it look so fun and easy, and while I'm (sometimes) having fun, I'm finding out now that its not so easy (especially since I'm making myself play RB instead of AB now). I'm most impressed by how you don't even have to use the rangefinder, you just know right about what distance to fire at. I'm proud to say that after 4 hours of playing with 1 kill to show for it, I got off and watched an episode of The Golden Girls. After that though, I got back on and to my surprise, actually started getting a kill or 2 in my matches, even well enough to do some CAS in a Mustang. As a pilot with around 15 days in game flight time between AB and RB, I'm finding tank gameplay pretty hard to get used to. I can't tell you how many times I've scoped in on accident because I'm used to that being my throttle.

[@johnbrady7431]

I love watching you ride the struggle bus, Phly. It really warms my heart to know that even you can have problems like the rest of us. Thanks buddy!

Barrel-fired ATGMs are the bane of my existence I feel your suffering

[@tirushone6446]

I am currentley grinding to the sherridon, do you know something I don't? should I not be doing that?

[@Mister_Clean]

@tirushone6446 Doesn't that one also fire conventional ammunition as well as ATGMs? (I might be wrong)... And the Sheridan has a fast turret with great traverse. There's nothing wrong with ATGMs in War Thunder, so long as you have the mobility and actual tank ammunition. But you'll often find yourself saying "if I had just used HEAT/APDS/APHE, I would have gotten that kill". That's just how it is. The abomination featured in this video is a different story. Limited to only barrel fired ATGMs and a cannon that's stuck on the upper front plate? Yeah, nope

[@tirushone6446]

@@Mister_Clean yeah the sherridon had gun heat as well. I was just wondering if I was missing something but seems its all fine. just seems like a fun tank, fast turret and tracks, a stabaliser, and a 150 mm cannon for blasting your enemies back to the lobby

[@Talendale]

Phly jokes about being anti-air, but it's surprisingly good at just that. The ATGMs are quite nice for chopper deletion, too. What it cannot do is take any kind of return fire, as a hit will either kill a crew member, crippling half your guns- or just blow your breadbox into orbit. Find narrow lanes- even ones that go out to long distances - and wait for some poor shmuck to cross your ATGM path. Distance is not protection for your breadbox, either- only hard cover, since rangefinders are common at this BR anyway and you are a one shot yeet-and-delete even against small guns. Sorry, Phly. This one was mostly a "how to make toasted baugettes" video.
