RUSSIAN BIAS IS BACK - KV-1 & T-34 in War Thunder - OddBawZ feat.

Twitch: / oddbawz
Russian Bias is back in War Thunder! Myself and PhlyDaily take the infamous KV-1 and T-34 into battle to see if the new War Thunder update has improved the survivability of Russian Tanks.
PhlyDaily: / phlydaily
War Thunder recently updated their ballistics and armour that really improved every tanks effective armour. However, most Russian low tier tanks have had significant improvements over the competition in terms of protection.
The KV-1 Russian Heavy Tank was always a strong contender in War Thunder but due to volumetric armour changes, this has taken away most of the frontal weak spots. The KV1 is even more of a heavy tank than it ever was.
The T-34 of the past was always a good Russian Medium Tank and now it's even more difficult in this recent update from War Thunder. The armour is sloped and has a lot of overlapping plates that combine to make it almost invincible against the guns it faces on the opposing side. If the T34 was good before, it's definitely better now!

5:30 When you forget tanks are volumetric.

[@kirishima638]

Volumetric shells have actually made armor relevant again.

And the Churchills gun too. Played the old church yesterday. Couldn’t pen a single damn thing.

[@SB-sj4uz]

For russia only. This patch is a joke for everyone else.

[@itzmrman3574]

Stuart Bell same with a 100mm pen shell i can never kill a kv1 or t34 and its really annoying but they can somehow kill my t14 from a mile away with weaker shells

[@verstappen9937]

Stuart Bell no, the panzers with add on armour have received a HUGE buff, in fact they’ve probably received the biggest buff because before their armour was irrelevant and now they can bounce. The Russians have always had random bounces

[@SB-sj4uz]

That intro 😂😂😂. As for the new volumetric shell model, I've just bounced two panther A shells into the turret of my comet. I think they'll tweak the new mechanic a little bit though. It's confusing. Sometimes works when it shouldn't

Phly mentioning him spectating was like being the TC, possible video idea: I love the thought of doing a match playing only the gunner/driver views with someone (maybe this could be another +phly video) 3rd person spectating as the roll of commander. Maybe on a public server, or maybe just in a custom as a team duel thing. But I think that’d be cool. Kinda a sim-but-not-sim game.

You are so humble my dude, this is your job and you do it well No Shame in promoting your channel. Next step is Patreon

[@darkninjacorporation]

Watching this new gameplay genuinely reminds me of back when tanks were brand new, it was just a few Russian and German vehicles, and tank duels were like slugging matches between two monsters. Face hugging/wrestling was the norm and the Russian heavies were supreme. I really like it, I might have to come back to the game and try again in mid tier

Hey odd, I suggest having go at T34 1941, at 3.7 it has not only deadly gun and good armour for angling but the BP 350SP can one shot panzer 4 H and Stug through there front armour. Absolutely amazing machine worth trying out.

[@hank_hill3913]

You cant go through the side skirts on Panzers or Stugs anymore with short 75 it just bounces and takes out the skirt. There are other things (Panther mantlet), some tweaking is needed lol

[@laniemon]

that intro reminded me of 300, of all things lol.

[@R_-rs8wk]

From what i've seen, the Churchill mk.VII has benefited massively from this shell change. PZ. IV F2/H/J cant kill it from the front anymore, and even short 8.8's struggle at distances beyond ~400m. Soviet tanks are generally even more hopeless, with the exception of the high velocity 57mm guns, which are just barely small enough to squeeze through the turret ring gap. I recommend you try it out, the thing's a beast. Love the videos as always!

[@keinegotter573]

Duels! Absolutely! You and a few other content creators split up and go head on!!
