The Most Broken Helicopter You've Never Heard of - H-34 - War Thunder

[@swynty777]

I remember spamming this thing before its br was raised and camera zoom was nerfed. Good times 😂

[@ahmadutyakapeanutusa6135]

Zoom was insane

[@sydney4814]

Justin!! Flanders is one of the most famous (and bloody) battles in Europe in WWI, it was where the Canadian poet (Lieutenant-Colonel) John McCrae wrote his poem "In Flanders Fields"! (for context, he was an officer during this battle and was left broken by it, the battles of Flanders Fields were during the battle of Ypres, over a hundred fifty thousand British and Canadian soldiers lost their lives in this brutal slog.)

[@JustinPlaysTV]

My WWI history is incredibly lacking

[@koenruysseveldt3848]

Ardennes is also in Belgium. Ieper(Ypre) is in West-Flanders(West-Vlaanderen) towards the sea.

[@medos9854]

The H-34 a really PTSD heli for French players 🫨

[@alphawolf6214]

yeh it pretty much killed my first intention to grind france heli tree ;-;

[@thisguyyyyyyy2723]

Shipyard event was in fact a crafting event, you had to assemble the Soviet river boat multiple times to get the other prizes

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

I'll always see the Sikorsky H-34 as the larger, younger, war-crazy American cousin of Harold the Helicopter from Thomas the Tank Engine. As Harold is based on the Westland Whirlwind, the British license-built version of the H-19 Chickasaw, itself the elder model of the H-34.

[@liladoodle]

People who have never watched TTTE: "WTF does any of this mean?!" People who have watched TTTE: "Hold up, let the man cook."

[@Nope_617]

I remember this thing when the event just came out, I was honestly scared of facing these and got mad about them multiple times

[@therussianhusky1637]

Honestly kind of surprised not a lot of countries have something like that with the AGM, closest I can think of is the Mi-28 and it’s LMUR missile

[@OtterMusician]

At some point, check out the Wasp HAS.Mk.1. It recently received the AS.12, a 7.00 km ATGM, along with a hefty .7 BR increase from 8.3 to 9.0. It'd be a video pretty similar to this one in terms of launching two missiles then rearming, so I suppose save it for practicing jump cuts again.

[@JustinPlaysTV]

2 hours of footage to get all the cuts you saw. Yeah I'll save it for after the patch xP

[@OtterMusician]

@@JustinPlaysTV I respect it, having to cut all that sounds painful. How long did editing take, if you don’t me asking?

You've never heard of Flanders Fields. In Flanders Fields the Poppy's grow. Between the crosses row by row. Truely a great Canadian war poem

[@MonsterYZFR3]

I’ve been eye balling it because that bullpup at 7.7 is rediculous but i can’t afford to spend that much for it

[@ivanbarbancon8750]

yeah Flandres is a region that coprrersponds more or less to a goo part of Belgium and some parts are in France now

[@temeriusrotus5621]

Oh! i was the ZTZ59D, u got me spooked in that spot! GG bro

[@brickgod3494]

i believe the low br it has is because of the french one somehow

[@headhunter1541]

France just gets another L Beside the problem of the france h34 being bullshit

[@IllSentiment]

Though i havent seen the last few streams, they are always engaging

[@hiphip4808]

H-34 My beloved

[@WoooshProductions]

as an h34 owner i can confirm it is funny slapping tanks from the second helipad

[@chieftainmk11]

The shipyard event was a spring crafting event and I chose the heli over the VT 1-2

[@Desode]

Did they change the bullpup pen again? They had nerfed it into the ground. Clear down to double digit xx pen. I haven't used this in a long long time.

[@JaykeBlayde]

15:48 pro tip: you can MG the AML/Eland-90. you're welcome

[@Vitamin_D1c]

Was just watching another video of yours this came instant click 🎉

[@StreetLurker]

When are the sales coming anyone know? gotta set some money aside for that date :D

[@SlicerJen]

Yeah, I always hunt for choppers in the seahawk

[@RDEnduro]

Damn one timing the Mause! Plane vs Helicopter is an interesting fight

[@jaidenlopez9032]

You killed me in a match yesterday in an object 279, while I was playing as Sweden… 😂 thanks for the entertainment mate!

[@LewisB3217]

Kinda wish it was in the tech tree, it was in US service with 2000 built

[@The_Gaming_Hamster]

I wish the matchmaker was more era based and not solely what BR the tank is

[@skylieden]

Hey Justin, any chance you’d be able to revisit the Tiger HAP? I heard it used to be broken back in the day before it’s heavy nerf, I feel the ATGMs are super nerfed into the ground, might be something of a challenge for you to revisit, would like to see it. 😃

[@alicantasurgan9054]

omg 9 seconds !! also eye for eye is award is for someone killed your teammate and avenger award is for someone who have killed you

[@ADVS.]

well, more heli content like ive asked for, which i love! but... HKP9 video when? i'll start a day counter too. Day 2 :p

[@JustinPlaysTV]

Not going to happen anytime soon, more so during devblog season, sorry.

[@jareddavis2749]

I never saw the h34 in the us tree wish I had gotten it before it was removed

[@Arkhmar]

It's an event vehicle, it's still on the market place for $130+ (It's worth it)

[@indyjons321]

What pisses me off about this helicopter, is the rotor blades spin the wrong way.

[@thislazy2.05]

Is there a way for you to get a cut when we buy a golden eagles vehicle?

[@dariusweisz7440]

I wish id have it seems like the best heli for researching helis without using rp from tanks

[@Simon-tr9hv]

There is a simple fix, limit the close heli pad to infinite repair, only one resupply, you can resupply infinitely at the further helipad, then at cetain br, just disable resupply at nearest helipad and 1 resupply at the further helipad

[@filipriedmann5938]

I was playing during that even it literally made 8.7 at the time unplayable

[@williamkwl6153]

I remember taking out bi plane to take out these things after the event, god that was painful time

can u play marder a1? fun ifv please

[@cheesegod261]

Play MIG27K?

[@Th3Bishop3]

I played the french H-35 starter. And uh. Polar opposite to this. It *sucks.*

[@lk_ludikruc8358]

Justin stop dropping your collective to 0. It is very bad fpr the helicopters rotor and you lose a lot of RPM doing this. Best way to lose altitude is to bank to the side and lower collective just a bit

[@shipi4079]

This thing is 7.7? Guided rocket with more range than any spaa, has a powerfull mg to defend itself, can fly well. I wonder why the soviet shitcopter is 8.0 (will flip if you try to dodge anything)

[@stefanviljoen3962]

Can you pleasee play the begleitpanzer

[@Panservogn]

At launch this thing was even more dumb, u always spawned on the side or behind the enemy back then, and much closer.

[@TheAngriestGamer.]

its funny cuz this thing use to be shit when it was WASD guided. its still bad though ngl, only has 1 missile and has a hard time flying on its own..

[@flying_bandit7609]

bro this heli makes frances version look like a rip off

[@spacecraze2948]

They should really add BR variations for ground-pounding ordinance. This thing would be fine at 8.3 or 8.7 with the bullpup, but without it, 7.7 is fitting

[@raizencore]

Helicopter vs WW2 tanks, such immersion, much historical accuracy! 🤣

[@hiphip4808]

Tbf the engine in that thing is from the 1930s

[@mote_vengador2832]

​@@hiphip4808fr?

[@raizencore]

@@hiphip4808 I know, it's just feels stupid but the missile was made in 1959 tho. xd

[@nothingelseyt4340]

serious question: Are you really surprised War Thunder isn't historically accurate? Besides, the H-34 is at 7.7, where the vehicles it faces are from early to mid cold war, so it would be historically accurate, if anything, the H-34 is fighting vehicles several years newer. The only case where you'll find WW2 tanks in an H-34 is in a full downtier If WT stuck to historical accuracy, a lot of vehicles would be straight up unplayable

[@raizencore]

@@nothingelseyt4340 to be completely fair, it's still kinda stupid buI wasn't even being serious, it's more of a joke if anything.

[@Pocahonkers]

Sometimes I feel like they should just remove SACLOS from a lot of those helo ATGMs although that would make low tier helicopter grind even more brutal. Things like the AS.11, Rb 55 and this Bullpup are technically still MCLOS afaik. They just made them SACLOS for uh...reasons? Maybe because it's technically not the pilot controlling them, who knows.

[@galacticmarshin4510]

19:03 "This thing is stupid, it can one tap a maus" bruh.... anything can at this point to is now a $hitbox because of its BR. The devs need to lower it

[@chungusbooper]

[@19chevelle72]

This isn't OP at all. You can only do what you are doing with it right now. Rocket runs don't exist with it. And I assure you, planes will shoot you down more than you dealt with today.

[@jovanni_orb5116]

I wish I didn't miss the event. Maybe one day they will take into account people that work when it comes to events.

[@michaelyepp40]

This has always been an issue with modern warfare.. maps way to small, spawn kill made extra easy.. a lot wrong for use with modern tanks! I think up to 6.7 okay, bit everything above should have maps that grow so they can release their full potential and call it realism

[@thechef7438]

Just why would you play it...😂😂

[@dasveetm4379]

Yet another BS weapon. If the aircraft sight was actually based on 1950 technology along with a missile designed in 1954, it would be virtually useless in an anti-tank role. There was no magnification, definitely not stabilized, no pretty hi vis colors, no nada. The best accuracy achieved was about a 33 foot error probability and that's from above, diving on the target, being guided by mk 1 eyeballs and a small joystick in the cockpit.

[@raviharitsfahrezi]

😊

[@fire_drake12.arc.24]

1) The H-34 definitely needs a reload increase on the missile in ground RB. The missile should also suffer the same control jank as other heli missiles. I understand it probably just uses different coding than other missiles right now, but it needs to have that jank. 2) the T114 is over-br'd as hell. Its nothing more than an M50 alternative and yet its a whole BR higher. If the M50 is 6.7 so should the T114 be. Them moving it up to 7.7 is just more of gaijins mentally retarded balancing, there are much better options than the M50 and T114 at 6.7 with the same gun. Shouldve never been moved up.

[@reinyfrost3753]

Sure, the M50 has the same gun as the T114, but the T114 doesn't suffer from the jankyness of the 6 barrels, and it doesn't have to aim them separately. The M50 only has +- 40 degrees of horizontal guidance, so it is even more frustrating to play.

[@toast1172]

Ive seen this heli once in 2 years bro, its not a big problem
