Its called SprOOt. Its СпрУт in russian, which translates to an OO sound, not an A sound. Sproot is a kind of octopus, actually. Fast, light, nimble, and naturally a swimmy thing)

[@streetracerone5119]

It sounds more like a U sound, then again its an U sound in bulgaria (where cyrillic was invented) so idk

[@armoredbaguette]

Kontakt-5 improvements are marginal, so the only difference between tanks is turret's front ERA layout. It's the same tank and the same story as with Chieftains 3 and 5. You're not allowed to have 2 mbts of the same br in one lineup. And yeah, it's Sproot. :)

[@aleksanderf4672]

9.7 T72B can be frontally penned by M900 (most of the time) and up (over 520 pen generally is sufficient to pen) K5 has good odds of stopping Leclerc shells (and occasional hardened pasta from angry Italian bois). Personally I like both T72Bs more than the B3. Ru top tier is basically up to 10.0 T72 line is superior, after 10.0 it's T80 time. Mostly due to functional reverse.

[@sanderpanderpei]

As an average viewer, i'd say the whole decal thing is just fun imo! Its like, you go into a match, maybe see someone with Justins decal, and that makes me go, oh cool, we both watch Justins videos! Thats how it is for me anyway haha

[@raphaelambrosiuscosteau6685]

Did you angle today?

[@Thunder_Marshall]

@@raphaelambrosiuscosteau6685 I angled yesterday, I'm about to angle today though.

[@f1ash756]

I just realized this tank existed earlier today.

[@nicholasleon7819]

T-72 dozer is gonna be a pain to use in combat scenarios with that reverse speed

[@the_mad_bear3683]

after using it once your lower plate will be already covered and you just keep eyes on target so its usefull

[@spartanladkenny7870]

I love the T72. I'm a cautious player but when I'm in a T72 A or B I just go in guns blazing. This tank is so trolly its funny

[@bananabatsy3708]

That is basically Russian tanks in a nutshell. Hold W komrade!

[@crplfox9102]

My eyes bleed when I see more than 23 rounds in a T-72 or T-90

[@raizencore]

The decal thing I'm a very big fan of, it's okay to brag about it, who wouldn't? I like the way you do it, you aren't cocky, you don't think you're the best of all time so if people can do it like you then kudos to them!

[@marcogranados541]

Your effort to help wt grows is represented in the decal. You earned it. I;d love to get my own tbh but I don't upload

[@Thor46409]

Content creator decals are nice because wt content creators are part of the Wt family

[@reyzharpratamaheriansyah1706]

10:49 nice decal

[@gunther482]

The lack of thermals and the usual -4 reverse speed while facing 11.0 MBTs is what kills it mostly in my opinion. I guess now that the upgraded Sprut is in the game it might have more of a use since Russia kind of has a half way decent 10.0 line-up now but it'll still be the back-up for both the T-80B and the Sprut.

[@gomes389]

The only problem with this tank is it doesn't have thermals and in this BR, there are many night battles. Should be 9.7 BR.

[@captainfactoid3867]

The decal thing is like the right amount of pride in something. And this thing is really good for how little it is played

[@blackdead1968]

About the decal i just think its nice to have his favoriet youtuber allways on his side and even it looks really nice and in other words i love it ❤❤

[@vralingfrostmere1561]

that kontakt 5 at 10.0 really makes the difference

[@mr_boats]

I personally think the decal is a nice way for Gaijin to acknowledge content creators. It's unique enough as an award for creators, while staying under the "cosmetic" side of things. The fact that fans of your channel could get it is also a really neat thing.

[@finne880]

Wow good to know that one of my favourite models of the t-72 has a good review

[@araknas3981]

I'm happy that Gaijin acknowledges the CCs with their own decals but I'm never going to use them because they don't fit the aesthetic I'm going for.

[@purplenurp5590]

I remember when it first came out and was 9.7 and slapped hard

[@SaadAKANavi_03]

I realy wish that old good time when the BR for maps wasn't set, and we could play every existing map

[@dancing_odie]

id say that the streamer decals and stuff are cool things we can get if we want. as long as they arent to expensive or hard to obtain then i think they are neat.

[@APotatoWT]

9:05 that was a weird bounce

[@uisce_]

So many vehicles in this game are forgotten, mostly because they are foldered with either just an average vehicle, or a vehicle that surpasses it in everyway

[@blakeangel8355]

I used to love that map 😢

[@user-sp2si1sr9l]

this thing should be lowered to 9.7

[@levismith7423]

Sorry Justin I was taking a nap after playing some Air rb to grind to jets to match my ground and I missed your notification

[@javantm1676]

Honestly between all the content creator decal out there, I'm much more interested in dollars decal. Because other chooses something that are serious or choose their channel logo, but dollar in the other hand use something fun and hilarious. Sorry.

[@baran4711]

i cant forgot any of these top tier russian tank cus they all powerful and gem :)

[@adamfandel1766]

still don't get why IPM1 could sit at the same br as Abrams with better armor and only was increased with better top dart. While this thing sits 0.3 higher than the elder brother while having slightly better armor and same crappy fire control systems, not to mention no thermals

[@rambo7529]

Hey Justin, would you be able to play the Maus sometime (if you have it of course)?

[@jamestriplett5854]

Squadron decals would be nice

[@owl2975]

absolutely

[@8bitReverie]

10:47, what in the world! 😂

[@alexhogstrom7929]

hmm, the rare T-72 moment

[@VinylsRock92]

I want a decal to support your channel but i cant get them on ps4 i think

[@planezboyz3718]

18:05 I was the Chadley and yes that shot did pen and kill your driver lmao

[@pendraig5446]

can we expect a bearded the man decal? since pandramodo has 2nd decal too

[@sharkk127]

I got this thing an with the t80b I love it, just I hated my life while grinding it because at one point the rp I needed was 69415

[@krzysztofbroda5376]

So close to greatness

[@williambenedictalava2634]

The decals are gud to have chief I see no problem with (I mean pews and Russian badger got those so why not WT creator can have those as well)

[@CypherusMcClain]

7:30 - I don't know, Justin. It kind of sounds like you want me to use your affiliate link to buy the yak... Unfortunately, I already used Phly's affiliate link to purchase that... But the next blatantly broken and overpowered Russian tank and/or aircraft that comes out, I will gladly use your link. :) Edit; commenting on the content creator decals: I think is pretty cool. It shows player support to a content creator. Usually will bring players together in a kind of group mentality. If I see people with a phly decal, you best bet I'm rolling with them in my match. We all watch the same guy, so I believe we operate of a similar mindset. Birds of a feather and all that. :P Edit: Justin, with the upcoming Israel tech tree, I have purchased the Sho't Kal Dalet using your link. I shall be the collector of "no longer available" in your honor. o7

[@ochecko4305]

This tbh^ If I see I content creator's decal while ingame I usually say something and try to roll with them :) Pretty much always makes the match funner even if we don't win.

[@playbyme1233]

That fellow payed for the YAH 64, as people grinding for it should be at roughly 200k points left as of writing this

[@eaststarling7805]

Another vid on t72a?

[@MinhNguyen-mm9by]

My game crash every battle and i don't know how to fix it , please help me

[@divinesan7786]

I remembered skipping this vehicle because it is basically a weaker version of T-72B3 so why did I waste my time to grind it?

[@mikailvito7200]

Hiii Justin, i got your camo!!!!

[@ENGAM]

the ERA itself is 70mm thickness.. so double or triple with angle.. the 5mm discribed is prob a dev thing, miss or whatever.. you cant have something with a specific thicknes and act less than that... and 8.3 russa without minding thermals witch mbts will get 10.0+ and fuel tank explosions is lit unless you get hit on breach and you get a lot of hits on breach....

[@bretts3057]

Im getting this tank since i got turms at 10.0 also

[@thcfck6870]

When you said that you would ban White Rock Fortress, Ash River, Stalingrad and Vietnam I was like "wow exact same as me, they do be awful lmao"

[@randy0210]

I love vietnam :(

[@warpz7827]

Like your decal bought the TU-1 with your code now have your face plastered on EVVVERRRYYTHHING lol

[@danielmostert993]

Decals matter to the fans. I do not think they bother anyone so as long as the fans get a kick from them then its good. As for the ego thing? There is nothing wrong with being proud and happy about having representation within a game you like. It shows you are recognized by the devs, publishers as well as they player base. Just remember to stay humble dude.

[@mikemccolum5832]

How do I get his decal?

[@saint_jean_04]

T-72AV must go Jpan tech tree.

[@MrSTUPIDBRICK]

Next patch meme titles got to be "game breaking".

For me, the CC decals just look absolutely terrible when plastered on tanks or planes. I just like my historical decal placements

[@lukeygoof7443]

Funnily enough I’m in hospital right for mental and physical health complications, now and I got to use a gamers outreach Xbox! Great people!

[@jawszy]

The decals are eh because it doesn’t make sense to advertise on my tank or plane

[@GothicHellhound]

Why did you have to one and done in it;-; not even a back up or anything

[@seanmarusyn5076]

To be honest i dont care about stuff like that i just want to play the game

[@Tamburello_1994]

Decals mean nothing to me. You and your gameplay keeps me interested.

[@por_tidge]

Hey Justin, I’ve been having trouble killing Russian tanks. What’s your advice on them

[@cassiussuissac]

should I grind out germany or russia? im at like 10.0 for both i just wanna know what the better objectively better nation is

Both are good tho

Call it Sproot but short pronounce cheerse

Honestly I don't really see playing this just because of a vehicle that's similar br (I think unless they've changed at time of writing) called the T80B that's better in almost everyway and has bias

[@KaiserHabsburg]

this was by far the best map. i miss white rock so fucking much. im a sniper type and like long range i hate citys and yet white rock i always did so well on it. just absolutely always won. I never understood how anybody didnt like it. and i wish i still could play it. even if it were just custom battles. like wtf how is it 100% removed same as the battle of britian map. Who tf likes abandoned town? vietnam? el almain(or is it tunesia the map eight after white rock on this map). just death simulator with no point in playing it. there are no flanks you get shot from everywhere. you just sit in your spawn and kill or die. you rush you die. pointless.
