The Leopard 2AV has a special place in my heart because a friend was willing to get on my account and grind the event to get it, so shoutout to my bro.

For real, but its carries on to the whoooolee top tier experience when u are on nato team. Russians just disgusting when it comes to cas or… t90m or t80bvm.. its just maybe a bit too strong when they are against a half “click bait” half raamsagal or smth team.

"10.3 loves to see those downtiers" My game must be broken then lmao

[@JustinPlaysTV]

I usually get more than half of my games into a down tier. No idea how or why but it does!

[@Jehkosa]

@@JustinPlaysTV I must be unlucky then cus about 70% of my games are some sort of up tier.

[@LordDigz12]

Germany and US 10.3 goes to the 11.3 up tiers. Russia has the 10.0 lineup, so no uptiers to the premiums except the Fujis

[@ruub9971]

Just to clarify: 2 or 3 vehicles at a higher BR does not mean uptier. ​@@Jehkosa

[@Jehkosa]

@@ruub9971 I don't watch the tanks on my team I just look at the spawn point cost and thats the rough estimate. I think most people do it that way. And in my experience at germany 10.3 my MBT spawn cost is 100-120 most of the time. Which would indicate an up tier. Even when it only takes 1 11.3 vehicle in the game for my SP cost to be 100.

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

One Argentinian vehicle I want in the game is the Nahuel DL-43, which is basically an Argentinian Sherman/Lee equivalent. Armed with a 75mm gun (Taken from a Krupp M1909 field gun used by the Army) and three 7.65 Madsen LMGs (One in the hull, one as a co-axial to the main gun, and one as an AA mount). Only 12 were built, as it was cheaper to buy surplus Shermans from other nations. Or to be more specific the UK and Belgium.

[@liladoodle]

Now that would be a fun idea.

[@liladoodle]

If the rumours of a Benelux sub tree for Franceare true, then we could get the Boxer for both Germany & the Netherlands, one variant used by Australia has a similar turret to the PUMA IFV on it.

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

The Dutch Boxer only has a single 12.7mm HMG in a remote turret.

[@Skip.8221]

there's already the Vilkas which has a crewless 30mm turret on the Boxer chassis, but it was an event vehicle

[@lokikinch]

My 10.3 has gone pretty untouched for a while, cant stand how top tier feels and well, theres a lot of "those" german players *cough* level 22's in a 2A4 *cough cough*

[@nameplaceholder4895]

10.3 is pretty fun overall. Its alot of top tier without alot of top tier sprinkled in. But in saying that we're seeing more low level rats in actual top tier games now thanks to Fuji and click baits

[@sethbowlin3554]

Or when German players never spawn in planes or spaa and always getting space bombed

[@keefe20x6]

Love your stuff, looking forward to hopefully seeing Sweden 10.0 or 10.3

[@fakepng1]

Absolutely love the no-copyright-music over your voice in the beginning. Perfect introduction for a video

[@BlackHawk21ification]

next is france 10.0, oh wait we don't have any for some reason. Glad the vextra is coming next update tho, let's hope it's the stab one. For those who don't know what the Vextra is, it's basically a RadKampf but faster and with thermals. On a side note i'm glad france top tier is getting some love with the Fox 3 + vextra next update, and also maybe a platoon vehicle the qatari Leclerc might be next too.

[@Falloutman216]

Britain/Sweden at 10.3 or China at 10.0 next? Loving the series so far!

[@midnitejmpr9429]

It’s funny that you mentioned if aps could stop darts and ironically I had that happen to me. I was using the CV 90105 shooting at a black knight at about 2200m and it’s stupid aps ate my dart 3 times.

Can’t wait for the Italian 10.3 line up. Italy will finally get some airtime

[@oneaboveall1751]

I own the PT16/T14. It was an accidental purchase because I was simply trying to see the converted currency rate at the Paypal checkout page but I forgot I had my details saved so it automatically checked out for me instead 🤣 Never once regretted. It was a gamechanger for me. That 4 seconds reload saved my ass countless of times, and not to mention that amazing mobility. Never gotten a nuke till I played this beast. Who cares about armour when I am the sneakiest flanker/sniper.

[@louisquintin5641]

The beigleitpanzer was nerfed with his proximity round going from a 15m fuze to a 6m one. It is less effective now

[@JustinPlaysTV]

Yeah it is.. still fun when it works tho!

[@y.m.9277]

Man you've got the lineup of my DREAM. I wished so badly to have AV and Pt16, also I don;t have the Pzbtl 123. So pretty much German 10.3 lineup is basically 1 leo2a4, puma+vilkas, and leo1a5 etc. Top tier was much more fun for me.

[@BobbyBingo]

Your friend was a great addition to the video!! Hes awesome

[@zenomorphick3189]

KZbin turned automatic quality and put it at 260p for some reason

[@patrickescoe]

bros lineup was solid premiums

[@themastrofall]

You don't like to use your artillery do you? XD I feel like you end up in so many spots where you have arty available and useful to you and it never gets used, in tons of your videos. Either way keep up the awesome work!

[@froddoradda94]

I'm sooo glad i got the PT16/T14 from opening Toolboxes, that tank is so much fun! Also, wierd how it says that it only has a manual rangefinder when it actually has a laser rangefinder 🤩

[@PolaroidPopsicle]

fun fact its an optical electric range finder (hence the no laser rangefinder modification) it is however just as fast as a laser rangefinder, which is pretty neat. Good ol German engineering

[@froddoradda94]

@@PolaroidPopsicle Oh I see, thanks for the info!

[@Murmur_65]

Now try britain 10.3 They have some fast ones with TTD and Vickers 7 for tech tree and Bhisma as a prem

[@Seraphinus112]

German mains either make or break at 6.7, only the strong and persistent survive

[@wjbao2497]

Solid and fun line up to play, but I think I'll switch vilkas for the leo 2av as it doesn't really offer any feature in the line up. Also, bringing the Roland would be a good idea, in case there are helis spreading death to our team while staying out of the range of the stinger

[@bencarmine3032]

When the puma got added it was a beast of a light tank. Now when i finaly got it feels not so stronf to me. Playing light is a bit new for so i maybe playing it wrong, i always get the gun knocked out so ff often. I probably need to change the way i play. Maybe as you play the challenger 1 and 2,s. Being patient and taking pot shots and have allies take the enemy shots?

[@ThePoptartMaster]

Sweden at 10.3 has literally THREE LEOPARDS!!!!!

[@thegreattanker1566]

[@philips0905]

I just found myself enjoying the 10.0 lineup quite a lot with the germans, the only flaw for it is the MM which is just terrible, but not that different from 10.3

[@TeurastajaNexus]

German 10.3 is simply great.

[@Stridsvagn-PanzerKommandant]

Pls do Sweden at 10.3 next, a very decent lineup with good CAS and ok AA

[@PeekCandy]

21:29 was epic!

[@lukewhitehouse4103]

Germany is cracked right now the Leopard 2 has been pushed so hard most of the rounds cant one shot it. The armour bounces shots it shouldn't

[@funwithmagnus8570]

I've just entered german 10.3 for the first time this past 2 weeks. I bought the vilkas to add to the lineup and it's worth it. The puma is low key nasty AF and survivable. Make the puma 10.3 with missiles. That's fine.

[@1SaUI]

Id like to ask a question for Justin! I noticed you use the Gepard 1A2 instead of the Flarakpz 1, is there a reason why you use it? Would you say using the stingers are a worthwhile trade over the Roland missile? I use the Roland in my regular lineup, but i get REAL frustrated when the missile cant do a slight turn, though what you lack in maneuverability you have the distance advantage with it, where the stinger has more turn but less range- what are your thoughts and recommendation? Love your content, have a great day! :D

[@MAGA-iw3ki]

a combination of factors actually 1) roland spits out a shitload of smoke trail which make targetting faraway planes difficult since not only u wont be able to see where ur msl actually is, enemy planes can easily spot the msl trail from half a goddamn europe away 2) while roland is only 100ms slower than the stinger, roland has significantly worse turn rate thanks to it being mouse-aimed compared to stinger fire and forget 3) the msl flight model got "reworked" which screws over SACLOS msl but not FnF ones 4) gepard can dump all of its stinger quickly and still has a backup 35mm, roland can only shoot twice b4 having to rld, which hurt its performance against ground target 5) due to the insane smoke trail spat out by the roland-VT1 and the fact that ppl have MWS 90% of the time its better to play as an ambush spaa, and stinger is perfect for this role as by the time their MWS is triggered its usually too late and they now have a stinger shoved right down their cockpit as a guy who grind his way into the leo 2a7v i can tell u that the roland and roland truck suck balls 90% of the time, for every 1 kill i get with a roland i can get 6-7 more kills via stingers from the ozelot and gepard 1a2 (ozelot has gen 3 thermal AND IRST which helps u spot even the msl fired from enemy planes lmao so i usually run ozelot instead of gepard but i can see the merit of 35mm)

[@1SaUI]

@@MAGA-iw3ki Thanks for the feedback! I played the Roland so much I managed to spade it, I used to always whine about the missiles not being able to turn, which is a HUGE kick in the balls, though I always took it because the IRST and its distance was always the best, though I may try running the 1a2 since it has some backups when your stingers are expelled

[@lunlas76]

Ardennes domination #2 is totally messed up...wtf are map designers at Gajin drinking! So damn frustrating when 70% of the team dies the first 20 seconds! On another note how about Italy 10.3 next? Seems like a strong lineup! I have yet to research Sidam Mistral, Leo 2A4 Hun and Freccia...looking forward to it!

[@JustinPlaysTV]

I like that idea!

[@felixgaede6754]

One thing that I, as a German, find is a shame is that our vehicles just aren't exclusive anymor. And I'd be ok with it, if it was one here and there but no, practically every single iconic German vehicle can be found in another tech tree aswell. Look at the Leopard 2, look at the Leopard 1, look at the Tiger, look at the Panzer 4, look at the Sturmgeschütz 3, soon even the Tiger 2. It's like a thing of pride is kind of taken away from us and I can absolutely understand if the Russians for example feel the exact same way.

[@The_Irish_Tank]

I agree, I am at top tier Germany and I have to deal with German vehicles in other countries.

[@ChillaRibbit]

[@thybonheng1485]

German 10.3 need a spike puma 💀

[@TeamValkyrie2023]

I have a 10.3 spike slinger in Germany. Get on marketplace and buy the vilkas. I earned mine free, but I'm sure u can find one for sale if u play pc

[@Tentacl]

I wish Gaijin stopped being aholes and just added CAS to the actual tech tree. I'll not spend 80 dollars in an event vehicles because they decided years later to give it computer for rockets. I just hate those vehicles TBH, always game breaking, often necessary for lineups. Gaijin should learn from Wargaming that killed World of Warships making tech tree vehicles the "beginner" ones.

[@thybonheng1485]

You forget to tell us most of these tank at German 10.3 is a event vehicle there only 2 vehicle at the grind line

[@PeekCandy]

Not true at all. 2A4, Bagel, 2K, Gepard, Puma, Wiesel, TAM plus the 123 which is available to anyone. That's 8 out of 11.

[@GalickTera]

You mentioned that you want to see a PUMA with spike missiles. Since you're playing at 10.3 anyways... the Vilkas is practically that? Why not just throw the vilkas in the lineup and ditch something else less useful like the Wiesel, 2K or PUMA.

[@restreppthroat3324]

Just wondering, why not use the Vilkas?

[@TeamValkyrie2023]

The vilkas isn't that great. Vehicle has to be 500m away for a stinger hit and the auto cannon only pens very light vehicles at close range

[@adhx7506]

So we are not gonna speak about Germanys 10.3 only having 1 tank in the 2a4 and nothing else if you dont pay for premiums or event vehicles?

[@md93nen]
