PROTOTYPE GERMAN LONG 88MM TANK DESTROYER

[@phenomagator]

Really enjoying the cinematic dogfight sequences. Great work!

[@rinz5027]

That duel at 16:00 of the video is just amazing. Respect to him to take Phly on and put up a good fight.

[@ethantwolfe]

Honestly surprised more people are mentioning. One of the most beautiful, cinematic dogfights I've ever seen in any format.

[@sergeantpuddles8144]

Little trick with the waffetrager, it appears to have better gun depression in reverse and you can use the forward gears to fall back quickly into cover between shots.

[@gordonfr333man]

Not only that you keep the driver and the assistant driver protected and the rear fuel tanks work as armour.

[@foxboy64]

its not that it has better depression in reverse, its just the front has two bumps on it where the front two crew sit that their heads fit into. those two bumps reduce the depression. but if you're off to the side of either of them, or right in the middle of them, you get your full depression. all that said, reversing over hills keeps the driver and codriver safer, reduces the finnekyness of dealing with those humps entirely, and recently they fixed the transmission in reverse so you can actually pivot and position relatively quickly while backing up. generally something worth overlooking for almost every tank, but for the waffletractor it was a HUGE buff.

[@Stylemaster911]

Watching Phly painstaking try to make it back to base with a disabled aircraft is one of the under-appreciated best parts of these videos! So much tension every time

[@seafreshmeat9241]

I dunno, I’d say it’s pretty good

[@silphonym]

I love the Waffenträger. Not because I think it's particularly good, but because it feels so rewarding to get a kill. The way it nearly tips over from recoil after every shot. And how it obliterates when it hits...

[@westphalianstallion4293]

Yeah but the repair costs were way to expensive back in the day for a non premium AB guy. It was very satisfying to get some from the air.

[@StationEMT-]

I agree with you on that @marceldornier. Even though I haven't unlocked the Waffentrager yet. Seeing Phly ammorack that M41A1 Bulldog goes to show how potent a German 88mm cannon can be especially when it catches a light tank off guard and obliterates it with a single shot straight through the side armor. There's probably as many variants of the Bulldog in War Thunder as the number of Sherman variants in the game lol.

[@skye_music]

I would like to see a video about the Chi-Ri II

[@foxboy64]

the waffentrager is a higher br because its one of the few german tanks that isnt the size of a barn with a good gun. its low slung, so it can hide and snipe. since ALL german tanks need to hide and snipe, being smaller gives it an advantage and thusly, a higher win rate.

[@Jbubbs2]

The phly cinematic dog fights just get me

[@brodad9364]

Something great about PhilDailys intros is that it just flows. I don't want to skip it and enjoy it compared to other youtubers intro which are just boring.

[@thetankcommander3838]

*Begin Transmssion* Day 75. The 88mm KwK 43. The gun that was made to counter bigger allied guns like the 17-pdr, the Russian 85mm. Did you know the 90mm T15E1 of the T26E4 Super Pershing was built to counter it? Welp, it did counter it on at least two occasions. That’s why Phly should play it. *End Transmission*

[@waynecespedes7180]

[@AscariC1]

As a new player to war thunder, thank you Phly for that perfect demo of how to do a aerial combat.

[@jgdowell]

Cinematics on point. What a great dogfight!

[@eventidessoul1963]

I feel like the low profile and a turret is the reason for it to be at 5.7. Since few players use it, it sits at 5.7.

[@WrecklessLAW]

Classic "ground" battles. Both teams rush the spawn instead of the Cap, then there's 5 planes up on one team in 5 minutes because you can bring 30mm cannon CAS with only one kill.

[@foesnt]

Phly, the phirephly (either variant) is the only aircraft that can transform from a monoplane to a "biplane" (by using combat phlaps). Day 22

[@lewislaws6770]

Firebrand has the same flaps my man

[@foesnt]

@@lewislaws6770 the firebrand's flaps, while being gigantic and having substantial separation from the wings while deployed, are not parallel to the wing, like the firefly's. This is why i chose the firefly for the biplane comparison

Loving the new style of your videos

[@LeIndyVid]

JFC - I live for the new edit style of your dogfights... GD thrilling :)

[@gamefreez3r317]

Generally turreted tank destroyers are better. also it has -8 and not like -4/-5 like the Nashorn and is way smaller as well (at least when it comes to height). Also the waffenträger is pretty stable on roads if I remember correctly. And I remember that (at least for me) it had a tendency to let russian 122mm shells pass straight through your sides with no spall or damage. I remember hearing 3 or 4 122mm shells hitting me in a row while doing absolutely nothing and just confusing me as nothing happened. I remember being like "what just hit me" and just general confusion because nothing was damaged, especially if you have 10mm of armour and being an open top. Edit (1): forgot about the camouflage value. It is like 70%.

[@76456]

My best SIM game was on the waffentrager. Stoped all the enemys that were on our cap. And pushed them back. Giving room for my team.

[@Randy-bv9kf]

My personal favorit about the Waffenträger is that when going backwards it's almost like a stabilized gun

[@robertharris6092]

The long 88 is honestly my favorite gun in the game. 1000m/s high pen with APHE. I just wish it was in something fast.

[@andrewmargraff]

Try the panther II

[@Ryzawa]

Waff has smaller profile for better stealth and better turret range, much less limited rotation.

[@WigglyWings]

At 5.7 BR VFW has same gun but with less than half the reload rate of 4 seconds (aced crew) and much much better mobility with Panzer iv chassis. At this point monkeys set BR for vehicles at Gaijin HQ.

[@hazimrizal6834]

That thing on an open map with a good player behind it would obliterate the enemy

[@Slakters]

Don't know if you know of Defyn and his "rate our replay"-segments, but it would actually be really interesting to se his commentary to your dogfight with that F4U! Send those two little minutes in... would be really cool. Have a speedy recovery!

[@novapr0lix858]

that f4u fight was more intense then any marvel movie

[@quakenation1609]

Fun fact the WaffenTrager in WT was actually made to just move the gun to a field gun position as in once the gun got there it would be removed from the chassis and set up as a field gun

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

Well yes and no: Yes it was designed to have the turret come off and be a field gun. No it wasn't just meant to do that. It was also meant to operate as a regular tank destroyer. The idea being it would do whichever was better for the situation.

[@DZ-1987]

The dude above me is right. Why waste resources on a chassis that is meant purely to transport a gun that is meant to be removed when in use when you can have a truck or a half-track tow the gun itself? Bit of the old common sense thing, innit. War demands efficiency in all aspects, if the Waffentrager's purpose really is just "Gun transport" then that was a waste of Germany's quickly dwindling resources.

[@shadowwolf2608]

Can you plz bring out the long 90mm American cannon on the T32 non-E1? The E1 hasn't been on the channel in years and the non-E1 hasn't been on the channel at all.

[@robertharris6092]

I hate thhat theyre both the same BR.

[@gatoxd7544]

I don't think it is actually underrated, it is a hans with a big KANNON but at 5.7 CAS is just soo present and much more powerful than the low tier CAS, and not only that all american tanks have .50 cal which can rip through it at any distance or most distances, and anything with more than 50g of explosive that hits is almost certain to kill you or critically damage you. And the fact that it is soo slow is just hard to get to sniping positions early in the match and to run from CAS and try to hide behind a building or something.

[@BugattiONE666]

The reason the Waffen is 5.7 is thats where its supposed to be, noone plays it so noones winges for it to be lowered

[@the3rdid485]

I think I've said this before, but there are so many vehicles just like this one that make is zero sense. They have a slower reload and are slower in general than the tank that came before them.... Yet somehow get a higher BR.

[@Armoredcompany]

It's higher BR than the Nashorn because it is a smaller, low-profile target (and the Nashorn is MASSIVE) and it has a turret. Also come on Phly, you knew better than to trust that Tiger. You've been playing long enough to know that your team are just enemies in blue.

[@robertharris6092]

The depressions the biggest advantage
