The Great British Balancers at 10.3 - War Thunder

Britain in War Thunder is one of the few nations (From my point of view) that is grossly underappreciated in the higher tiers, yet they have one of the most formidable lineups at 10.3!

"I don't play britain that much". Has everything unlocked. Justin is the kind of guy that will say "let's play casual" and proceed to deploy the entire US nuclear arsenal

[@not1mitch435]

Did you feel the need to just copy someone elses his comment?

[@VisionZR]

A fact I find interesting about the Chally 2 is that, although it looks somewhat similar to the Chally 1 (at least in my opinion), is that only about 5% of Chally 2 components are interchangeable with the Challenger 1. I thought it'd be much more.

[@Alvarotds]

Could you do Italy 10.3 next?

[@Cucko0]

that would be good

[@veitsigma]

cas is realy good

[@Fazbear-qy8mo]

“I agree!”

[@Rimmless]

Yes

[@lunlas76]

Yes! Italy please!

[@mage9564]

The ending of the Fallout Show was such an amazing tie in! And I too, got back into Fallout NV and 4!

[@Pt_Lacky]

Leave my Vickers alone, he’s a handsome boy.

[@raizencore]

The fact Britain has a T-90 at 10.3 is mind boggling, absolutely amazing line-up, worth every minute of your time, don't sleep on it fellas!

[@jb7483]

You mean T80 Indian variant.

[@raizencore]

@@jb7483 no, it's a T-90.

[@danielfield2570]

There are more BS additions to the game I don’t know why the community got so worked up over the Bishma. It’s exactly the same as Sweden getting ‘finish’ vehicles that are nearly entirely non domestic to Finland. Sweden literally tested the mi-28 and bought the Kungstiger for a target wreck but unit gets added to the tree.

[@KingKieran04]

@@jb7483 It's a T-90S

[@ClumsyProto]

and the best thing? it got the 850mm pen missile at 10.3, i use it all the time against 292s, t80s and t72s, it just eats all ufps no problem.

[@J_v7101]

Thanks from across the pond for play 10.0 Britain! Its been a minute since you played 9.0 britain as well @JustinPlays ,perhaps lower maybe taking out the canberra and other british heavy bombers?

[@user-jm3lo5po1m]

Chieftain mk10 needs a run out 😮😢

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

If there's one wacky vehicle they could add to the game, I'd have to pick the Otaman. It's a Ukrainian 6x6 AFV that is basically a BTR-80 on steroids. It's armed with the 122mm 2A18 howitzer (In a 2S1 Gvozdika turret) and a secondary armament of either the 30mm 2A72 autocannon or a 14.5mm HMG. Yes, I know that Ukrainian vehicles won't come to the game because of the actual war going on. But one can hope that when it's over, we do start seeing Ukrainian vehicles slowly come to WT.

[@liladoodle]

That is such a cool vehicle, I'd be so down for it. But now let's see if the Tankies/Vatniks swarm to this comment.

[@petermikus2363]

They could come even now as a sort of joint eastern europe/warsawpact countries techtree. (Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania). I know Yugoslavia wasn't in the Warsaw pact.

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

@@petermikus2363 Yeah, I feel like that's the most likely way Ukrainian vehicles could come.

[@Sturmgechu]

okay, i have to say, the warrior, is one of my favoirte IFV,s in the game. i keep int in my 10.3 lineup and it still does really well. get yourself behind cover and switch to the missile and shoot over cover or get on a nice flank and pop pop pop pop a t-72 or leo away. its so satisfying.

[@christopherwheelock4643]

Love this serious Justin 🤩

[@thatchris1626]

The joys of the Stormer HVM currently is something else. Play it whilst it still works

[@escanor2405]

for a guy never had more than 200 golden eagles, im impressed ^^ crazy how much ressources u have. altho good kills, nice vid as always! ;D

[@chanchito4401]

I recently got the Olifant Mk.2 and I love it

[@danielfield2570]

The should add the desert warrior used by Kuwait. It’s a warrior chassis but with two side mounted tows and a bushmaster. Alternatively the could add the warrior 2000 similar in performance to the CV9030 or add the Warrior CSP which has a 40mm CTA. Would be good to add with the EBRC Jaguar for France

[@GeoDracu]

Amazed you think the TTD is not worse looking than the Vickers Mk.7 😂. Great video, this is my fav 10.3 lineup.

[@seyd5912]

"Why is it always me who is getting bombed" Did Justin ever watch a Spookston video?

[@chiefkalif9675]

My favorite lineup in the game is UK 8.7. The Vickers Mk 11, Warrior, Stormer, Chieftain 5, ZA 35 and Buccaneer are a good variety of vehicles that have some great performance at that tier. Especially right now with all the Vidars and Turms running around, the ZA 35 will tear through an early enemy rush and then the Buccaneer with the bullpups is a great way to finish off a match. It does suck that the only MBT in that range is the Chieftain 5 with APDS and no stllbrew.

[@liladoodle]

Could we get a re-visit to the VRCC?

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

I'm down for that, especially since the Centauro II RGO came out.

[@AxlePlaysGames]

19:44 They’re supposed to have blowout panels in the floor, but Gaijin refuses to model that correctly

[@ZWS_Link]

Im still working on the olifant files, but getting my hands on some reliable sources is proving difficult. Also you forgot to bring out the VFM5 Again XD

[@julianjones1130]

10.3 Britain is nice can't wait to see of the leaks for new warriors is true, the stormer is currently really good

[@geebskerbal2771]

I’m surprised at how fast these videos feel. Felt like ten min… 26 minutes later lol

[@burritodoge8450]

You're not having a bad day, you're just playing Britain

[@RedDotGecko]

10.3 bri'ish is my main lineup rn and i gotta say: do not underestimate the armor of the vickers mk.7, idk people don't know where to shoot it or smth but i bounce several shots every game

[@dzonylego]

I began playing UK seriously when i got m60aos, and well, brits are fun. 7.7 is difficult, where i am now, since caernarvervaron is a bit sh..t, so is british apds, being worse than 105 apds, lack of armor, but then 5.3/4.7, and stab on these mentioned above, they're great. It is suffer a lot of time, but there are some awesome games. Lack of explosive when others have on 7.0 or sth, teaches u to really play well.

[@OperatorJackYT]

*YOOOOO FINALLY!* We're boiling the kettle with this one boys! :D

[@IowanLawman]

Funny thing I actually enjoy the Stormer. Maybe I have an unhealthy affinity for the CVR(T) series of vehicles. But its very satisfying taking it out even at 11.3 to smack helis out of the air and make people very very mad.

[@demologic76]

Great lineup, but personally I would swap the jag with the new bucc

[@egonieser]

Not sure what everyone's issue with Stormer HVM is. It's quite reliable. It's only real drawback is difficulty to use it as close range. 3km+ it's absolutely unstoppable

[@Kattosf00b]

11:08 My worst fear for this map setup is have to rely on *teamates* covering the flank and hopefully they listen to the markers on the map if there a flanker😂

[@husqvatcho]

Eyyy, thanks for listening to us

[@Kwisss]

Vickers Mk.7 is stellar - have it aced and used it to grind up to 11.7.

[@harrywisfitt]

can you do another full vid on the TTD ?

[@troymeredith9721]

HAH IM PLAYING ALMOST THIS EXACT LINEUP RN

[@harryshuman9637]

"Sometimes stormer is amazing, sometimes it takes 6 hits to kill a helicopter". That's literally everything in the game. There is a theory that Gaijin regulates load on their servers my increasing/reducing the amount of debris and shrapnel generated by tank shells and rocket explosions. When more people are playing, the server load is higher so they reduce the shrapnel count to reduce it, thus it takes longer to kill targets.

[@FXIIBeaver]

The warthunder community comes up with some of the wildest conspiracy theories.

[@MiG21fanboy]

The chally ds got the l26 now too

[@Eagle-kp7fx]

YES

[@craigwilson9946]

Britain has decent lineups at the top end of the tech tree. It's just limited by it being a certain playstyle

[@michalchaloupka7751]

Could you maybe do USA 7.0? Playing with T29 against Tiger II is really fun.

[@user-tm9jd6pj6x]

i feel ya on finally winning one 😂😳

[@J_v7101]

Also the Kamov Ka-29 hasn't been covered in depth by a great youtuber like year in over 2 years almost 3, correct me if im wrong but it doesnt struggle as much as it used to

[@mehmetkaral8863]

İts 2a42 canon with apds shreds evrything at 9.7

[@sentinelxcix2526]

it's a shame you didn't have the Bucc S.2B, it lets you bring out 3 TV AGMs. Quite handy in uptiers cause you get a little more standoff than the Jaguar gives you

[@funwithmagnus8570]

I don't mind the open maps with one cap or TDM. It suits my slow and methodic play style with mbts

[@thcfck6870]

10.3 Britain is really quite fun, it's a good BR for most nations but the British one is really great

[@michelegrasso1331]

Hey Justin, what about Italy 10.3 or 9.3/9.7 next?

[@stephanstofberg8643]

I like the open map

[@warpz7827]

I use the Rooicat 105 instead of my warrior .I do Agree I would drool for a decent top teir IFV for britain

[@BW-4012]

Since France doesn’t have a 10.3 lineup, you should do one with 9.7 or 9.3 France

[@bencarmine3032]

I missed the ds gettung l26? Until today i was playing with l23 and k23a1 damm i wisch i knew

[@veitbiester1037]

Can someone tell me how I can control the inner small circle of an air-to-air missile with the mouse? For me it is always in the middle and then I can't hit opponents who are in the big circle but not in the small circle. please help thanks

[@Thissman]

The vehicles are not WOW but still like them a lot to play.

[@user-qo5yr7qs8j]

I use the falcon in my 10.3 line up and I think I get more kills in that than any other vehicle

[@Sturmgechu]

lmao im just now playing 10.3 britain. the vickers MK7 is a demon i9 dont understand why people dont play it more or even see it. it was a struggle to get use to it, esspecially after beinging a french and american main. slow, good reload but after 4 shots its at a 8 second reload and armor seems to be soft. but its adaptable. i have had great games with them and even a few nukes. i cant wait for my first chally 2

[@thatonelocalauthority2809]

How is it slow? And the reason you don’t see it often is because most people don’t ever touch the British tech tree and the Vickers MK.7 is an end of the line vehicle, meaning it’ll take forever to spade.

[@user-theguyzack]

I main britain everyday and its fun for me to just support my team but sniping and taking out the more dangerous tanks first 😄

[@user-theguyzack]

By sniping lol

[@notsoracistraspberry4168]
