[@philipped.r.6385]

I learned a lot by watching Odd playing. I've learned enemy weak spots, the best sniping and flanking spots, a lot of tactics or when and how to take the initiative, etc. Watching him play is like a training video. And he's quite informative when speaking about the tanks he use and how to fight certain enemies.

[@hydrixs6996]

When you aim down it looks like the natural defense mechanism to look larger, and in turn more dangerous😂

I do really enjoy your longer gameplay, I use them to learn map locations and when you fly I try to learn how to be a better pilot. I would personally really like to see you play with full lineups. I think it would be fun to watch but that's just my opinion.

I appreciate seeing the battle and hearing the dialogue giving insight into why you are doing the things you are or aren't doing in each situation.

[@ExcavationNation]

I remember like it was yesterday. On a big map like Fulda or Fire arc. I courageously throttle up my full up tiered m18 with pure confidence to take a wide flank. I can still hear the tracks clanking and they struggled to get through a random patch of mud the snail added but forgot to change the color of the grass, then we slammed into a rock that wasn't modeled. But we kept going, young and dumb. I remember looking up at our commander on the .50 and thinking "bruh why yo hands so big". Then we saw it. This giant Japanese tank. We observed for a moment as he layed down his barrel and lined a shot up on a teammate... boom. It was at that moment I saw his roof open up and I knew what I had to do.. I pushed 3 to change to High Explosive Shell. I then coughed really loud so I could fire the shell in our breach so the loader could insert the other one. I told him to just eject the unused shell so we could save it for later, but he said that's not in the game. We waited for the tank to aim his barrel down, opening up his roof and then, with my palms sweaty, mom's spaghetti, I fired ... Nothing happened as I found out that gaijin doesn't see that as an open top. And as quick as I could say "son of a .." He turned towards our position with the speed of a rattlesnake, disturbed by a boot, I slammed it into reverse.. right into a tree. And boom. I still visit that tree every once in a while.

5:18 OddbawZ: A maus! 5:19 Me: That's dead.

[@wallachia4797]

Hey Odd, for a similar but better experience, I'd recommend the Foch in the French Tech tree. It's also 7.3 and a straight upgrade in most ways (better armor, more pen, fewer weakspots, way faster, 15mm coax, super fast reverse). The only downsides you'll have to contend with are the fact that you only get solid AP and that the reload is quite long. With that being said, the high-velocity 120mm is very good if you can hit your shots and it's always funny hitting T-55s from behind through their engine, because the round is so good it cleaves straight through the engine block and takes out the entire tank; it acts kinda like APFSDS in that way.

[@Spido68_the_spectator]

Definitely like the longer format. You do a really good job of explaining WHY you do what you do, and that has helped my play quality improve tremendously.

[@BBJF12]

I like the longer games and thought explanations. I like having someone that reliably does both types of content. I know Spookston will have faster videos with funny reactions, and I know you will have more "tactics" and explanations for them. Finding you both having a video of the same tank is always a treat to me.

[@aheneus9197]

It's definitely worthwhile to see you during a whole game and see how you handle overall situations. You are a master at patience and positioning!

[@potawto]

Speaking of the ASU: my gf does not give a shit about War Thunder, but she has watched some of your videos and reason #1 is you calling that little ASU thing "a child" in that way you do. I hope you do that more. I love it too.

[@Ratrodddd]

11th time asking you to play 8.7 Sweden, the gist of it is that you get constant downtiers to 7.7, you face German teammates more often than not, and you will see a lot of king tigers. Also include the Saab 105 g. It’s stupidly op with a full bomb load. T55M, strv103c, strv104, ikv-91-105, veak40, and rush with the itpsv90. IT IS STUPID FUN.🤩

Great video, Odd! I like the longer form style a lot, really get to see how more experienced players think and what works for you so I can learn

[@CaptNumbNutz]

This thing is an absolute menace if you are on the receiving end and you are on open territory with long sight lines. At least in city maps it can't always get hull down to protect its transmission, making it easy to flank it or run away. On big open maps it will get hull down and you are stuck firing at those flat front panels next to the cannon to get rid of crew. You can't always flank them because they might spot you, and he's always got 2 crew left that you will never get to up front under that angled front plate when he's hull down. At that point you just have to hope you can get an angle where you can lob a powerful enough shell on his roof without being spotted or taken out by his team mate. Sometimes that's a little easier to do on the hilly desert maps.

[@Frankovelli]

I must be completely out of the loop because that getting an increase in BR is just insane. It was weak at 6.7 and i can only assume its a nightmare at 7.3 without a maxed out crew. I can only hope it got some buffs to go along with the increase otherwise this is the biggest blunder ive seen in a long time.

The T95 is supposed to be moved up to the same BR at 7.3. Rediculous, the thing has a longer reload, 1/3 the top speed, 2 sets of tracks and 2 frontal weakspots (cupolas) that can be penned by pretty much anything. The T28 is a whole BR lower at 6.3... why? Because it doesn't have the extra side attachments? Even the T29 Has the same gun, a faster reload and is turreted, and still stays at 7.0.
