THE SHOOTING RANGE 298: Best Desert Chariot / War Thunder

[@N1mr]

I remember a comment from almost a decade ago when someone posted a video clip where the 50mm shells from ME410 were bouncing off the IL2 , 3 hits in 4 seconds and every shell bounced. The #1 comment was “In Soviet Russia , video games play YOU”

[@scarecrow443]

I would love to know how the crew training system works, geniunely! I'm still not sure on some of the skills, and it's been YEARS since i've started playing!!!

[@otherscup]

Just read the text when you hover on it

[@DasDesertFox]

@@otherscup yeah lol idk why they haven’t figured that out

[@kaiderbrecher9642]

This system needs an overhaul in my opinion, there are too many useless skills that you don’t need anyway

[@brendenhinspeter2939]

I may not be the first one to notice, but the calibers of the M2HB and the FN MAGs are reversed in the Metal Beasts section; i.e. the M2 should be 12.7mm and the MAGs should be 7.62mm.

[@Ghostmaxi1337]

9:43 a importatn point you missed mentioning about the Pzgr is that is has a higher mv than the Pzgr 39. 810m/s to 773M/s which is noticable in the aim and against moving targets over range.

[@VlRUSOFFICIAL]

that is the reason why the pen is lower. Slower mv = less pen. It's pretty obvious its the mv since the caliber is the same and both rounds are AP.

[@Ghostmaxi1337]

@@VlRUSOFFICIAL wow you didnt read, the Pzgr with less pen has higher mv, it is slightly ligter and has a bigger filler.

[@michaelmacgregor2453]

Yes, an episode on crew skills, which crew skills should take priority, would be beneficial for most players. Thank you.

[@鹹香魚]

The player base might need a single episode talking about the crew skills, especially about how the keen vision works when spotting in the game.

[@Geniusinventor]

I love the tiger 1 PZGR rounds because you can kill M18 with only one Hit 👊. The other one sometimes only kills a couple of crew of pass right though it.

Q: What angle of dive is best to help extinguish fire on plane with or without self-sealing fuel tanks?

[@kakakiri2601]

i think optimal crew training video is good, maybe gaijin should give us the tips and trick to trainin on every different vehicles and roles,

[@type_x_atm_092]

A question for fun: if you keep shooting the ammo racks on the back of a KV-2's turret with the 37mm cannon from the M22 Locust, how many shots would it take to blow the ammo rack and kill the crew?

Q: Is there any reason you don't add super heavy cold war era bombers such as the B-36 and the Tu-95? Pehaps you can allow them to be armed with nukes and spawn them at max altitude and max speed so that they are extremely serious targets even in 9.0 + games.

At 1:04 the MG's calibres seem to be swapped.

[@reedmathews]

@1:05 there’s a slight error the m2hb should have 12.7 underneath it and the same goes Fn mag 60.40 should have 7.62 underneath

[@montgom71]

Q: does landing your aircraft after the engine died on a field lower repair cost?

[@carsamba0055]

What's the point of this question?? If your engine died, because it was damaged, then you have a repair cost for it.. if it died without any damage, because of no fuel, then you don't have a repair cost of course...

[@MD-wn4ui]

As opposed to crashing the plane, yes.

[@admiral_alman8671]

It’s doesn’t. Only landing on the airfield safes you

[@PAUL-ESNEED]

@@carsamba0055 Repair costs can actually vary depending on damage.

[@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS]

Fun fact: u never pay full repair of the vehicles u died in before the last one, cuz some time will have passed, and ull pay arround 1% less,useless diference, but now u know

[@Anoobies69]

hi gaijin, thank you.....for my comment being included

[@csgaming8101]

As a hungarian, I think the TAS 44 M should be mentioned as well. Basically, it's a hungarian panther prototype (not a direct copy) with a gun that in performance is similar to the pak 40.

[@panzerlite8108]

I honestly love the Pzgr. While it doesn't have as much penetration, that filler is brutal even to jumbos when you don't aim for weak points. There is a few points on the jumbo where you can just overpressure it with that kind of round.

[@QwerYT4819]

Idk why, but in my T-34-85 (D-5T), despite protection analysis telling me "Penetration not possible", I've still been able to penetrate them frontally.

[@farmcat9873]

@WarThunder hell ya make an episode about crew training and what the best skills are for each kind of class in tanks and planes. Cause in planes it really is not so self-explaining for example Fire Accuracy and Fire Precision and then again goes around to Gtolerance,Stamina and Vitality then jump to Logisitcal services and all the ones in that category. But that be great for a episode explaining the section of crews skills

Everyone need to know that Gaijin need to add a setting for altering you're zoom in air rb the zoom on warthunder is too intense to be able to see where and what you're aircraft is doing by adding a setting to decrease you zoom in settings would be a game changer how many times have you been screwed over by how magnified the aiming zoom is its incredibly hard to manoeuvre your aircraft with this intensity of zoom in at who else agrees can we MAkE gaijin add the setting to wt by up voting this please make this happen.

[@kaiderbrecher9642]

Would like to know how the armor values from the merk4 turret got halved from its dev server values… I have the mk4m and I have to tell you it’s not worth the grind or the money at all, the turret can not withstand high end apfsds bounces occur here and there but that’s due to poor aiming or just rng, if a hit penetrates your left hand side of the turret it’s an instant death (ammo detonation, no blast doors!!), hull is only effective against poorly aimed shots. Mobility (speed, acceleration, hull traverse) nothing special, you don’t need 64 km/h backwards in probably 8/10 situations. Firepower(ammo, gun handling) , nothing special, unreasonably longer reload than its counterparts, pretty bad gun depression. Trophy APS will save you here and there, but still feels kinda buggy since sometimes the aps blocks the shot but you still get the full penetration knocking out your motor, gun and killing a crew or 2 The biggest concern i have is, that as far as I know there is no newer model for Israel than the merk4m, so if they don’t actively change some stuff (most importantly the armor) there is absolutely no point of grinding the merk4 unless you are a fan of the vehicle
