WAR THUNDER BUFFED THIS TANK FROM THE WORST TO BIAS

The PT-76B is one of the WORST tanks in War Thunder. This little Petey is subject to all sorts of Bottom 5 worst tanks videos but today... that's all about to change!
The PT-76B Reload Buff came yesterday with an outstanding reload of 5 seconds with an Aced crew! That's less than half what it was before meaning this thing can sling 200mm pen HEAT-FS rounds at an alarming rate.
The PT76B in War Thunder is also fully stabilised and is pretty quick around the battlefield. The battle rating at 5.3 hasn't changed with this buff but I'm sure it won't be long before it is. The good news is that Russia finally has a viable light tank in War Thunder at this BR!
It's actually a lot of fun to use now! :) Just don't miss...

"Such a terrible, terrible spot" Proceeds to kill like 5 tanks

[@OddBawZ]

DO YOU THINK THIS A GOOD CHANGE? ARE YOU GOING TO BRING IT IN YOUR LINEUP NOW?!

[@staringhamster7999]

I get alot more dopamine response from the kills with this tank idk why

[@sircutypie4418]

I actually did quite well in it before the patch….

[@rhubbs1258]

I think its an ok change, as it is small caliber HEAT-FS so ir doesn't too too much damage. The new reload rate makes it easier to pick apart enemies rather than hoping for an ammorack snipe

[@ZETH_27]

I will now hate this thing by the same magnitude as its reload-speed was reduced...

[@friendlysnoworb6091]

enjoyed being able to lolpen tigers before the buff, but only having the choice of gunner or driver sucked. faster reload makes it very nice

[@iliakezevadze4341]

PT is not bad really, but I was always mad about same reload time as is-1. So it changes a lot. But I think mobility is main problem of this vehicle, it's not fast enough to get 1st. Has one of the worst reverse speed and even 7.62 mm can penetrate, Shells also is not strong enough for one shot kills. So it is the worst moment when U got 2 criticals on enemy and he's killing you with machine guns

[@g.williams2047]

Honestly I’ve just been running it along with the ASU-57, IS1, ISU-122 and T-34-85 as a backup vehicle. Very fun to play with the very good reload.

[@sawyerlogon7666]

In my opion its underpower in reality it can stop 12.7 mm

[@jayklink851]

Personally, I always liked the vehicle. It's funny, right before Gajin's chat ban, a guy was pissed killed him. He said I used cheaterFs(like HEATFS) of course he was a 5.7 German line up, using the 200mm Tigor lol.

[@5co756]

@Đông Nguyễn Hồ Minh .50 cals are a little too strong , this old ammo should pen about max 25mm . While the 7.92 or 8mm Mauser is to weak with 13mm , 8mm Mauser AP zips right through an AR500 steel plate with no problem . You can watch such videos here , were they test this .

[@arpentereves]

I've been playing a lot of USA 5.7 and honestly I'm glad to have them on my side when I fight the germans on long range maps. IMO the HEAT-FS alone by itself is pretty powerful

[@sternthomas4218]

The intro's are amazing thx for all the good vibes and the great vids. And all this, every day? Imagine. ;)

The secret sauce to OddBawz videos is that he has a lot of fun.

[@sethgordon8954]

I feel like once you land your plane you should be able to swap out your payload. I don't like being locked into 1 type of payload when in reality you could change out on the ground

[@spazz-qk5gz]

Its especially dumb cuse u can do that in air rb.

[@loganknezovich8394]

you actually can, once you land wait until your plane is 100% repaired, bail out and then choose the loadout you want and then you respawn with the loadout at the airfield

[@darkdexter6643]

@@loganknezovich8394 can't do that in Ground RB only in air RB that feature is available

[@KiRiTO72987]

You can after you respawn at the end of the runway you can j out and switch loadout

[@ExcavationNation]

"I can't do this on my own" Yes you can.

[@_Despair]

Using this tank reminded me of the pain I had to endure when the UK was added with my black prince hahaha, mind you this was pre-AP buff. 3-4 shots on most tanks, Got really good at memorising where the ammo was placed.

[@MS07B3-G0UF]

Reminds me of the early days in the M103 before they did something with it to. Used to have to memorize that crap.

[@N4CR5]

It should be 5.7, not fair fighting heat and atgms in a tank that goes jogging speed and has its only advantage, armour, negated.

[@aeroengineering333]

@@N4CR5 yeah It's literally a 4.7 chassis and a 5.0 gun

The 76mm heat-fs overpressure is completely broken, I have even overpressured an m18 by shooting the ground next to it.

[@jgdowell]

That's really not that broken. A large explosive round impacting in the general vicinity of an unprotected sentient hefty sack full of meat is going to cause some life ending damage.

[@lebien4554]

BK-354M has over a kilogram of TNT equivalent so it's definitely possible

[@christianhaegler4817]

I feel like the real buff is with the HEAT-FS. The shell used to be very unreliable at penetrating and even worse when it came to post-pen. In my recent experience it's become a god tier shell.

[@blackwidowrsa]

is that just for that tank or heat/heatfs in general? those have been terrible since the nerf

[@cosmicdistortion4350]

i thought so too, the heatfs was quite unreliable in a good portion of the situations before, i noticed that it's actually penning stuff and doing damage afterwards too which is actually good, because the one thing this thing had over other tanks was the heatfs round, and it wasn't even working that well most of the time either lmao

[@christianhaegler4817]

@@blackwidowrsa In general back in the day I had no issue with HEAT-FS. It tended to work well. This tank in particular, perhaps due to the small caliber, had a very wonky HEAT-FS shell which seems to be fixed now for some reason. Been getting killed a lot with it and decided to take out the thing recently. Suddenly I don't need to bring the APHE shells anymore which I had been bringing all the time before. The HEAT-FS became good.

[@PAcifisti]

Did this change very recently? HEAT has been a dumpster fire for the last few month or so

[@christianhaegler4817]

@@PAcifisti Haven't been using any other HEAT-FS (been grinding myself some France and crying about the AP) but this with the PT-76 is certainly recent. Never before has it been as annoying in battle and last time I played it some months back, it was certainly a very trashy shell.

[@erwinc.9117]

I think this is the second reload buff it's gotten, it used to be around 10s with a full reload expert crew. It was honestly fine before this buff (around 7.6s reload), not the fastest but very good for picking apart crew and weakening the enemy team. Now it's actually quite good.

[@stinkyrat3560]

Loving the new intros odd! It’s a nice touch and brings a smile to my face, keep up the good work with much love!

[@beastieboy1299]

Hey odd awesome video i love the new intro format where u talk to the vehicles its cute

[@andrewzhang5750]

HEAT-FS has its goods at its BR but the armor and size of the pt-76 really lets it down sometimes

[@whatsthematter8767]

long time PT-76B user here. my favourite thing about the pt is that it can take panthers headon with a decent reload, and that it has a quick af reaction time because of the stabilizer

[@45CaliberCure]

Thanks, Odd. Great video, as always. Really enjoying the regular uploads!

[@The-Red-Baron]

I incredibly love these new intros please keep them!!! 🤩😊👍

[@Jaco93]

Wow maybe they will move it up to 6.0-6.3 now since it will have a play style quite similar to the M41 and the armor at higher BR’s tend to be thinner which should help it even more

[@Rio_SenpaiYT]

6.3 with the average heavy tanks needs penetration above 200 pen frontally 💀 High tier should be around 8.0 or 7.0 and above and armors are usually not that much too

[@Jaco93]

@@Rio_SenpaiYT True, It seems the pen values are underperforming against contemporary 76mm’s I thought it would be closer to the M41 and LePkz41. I’ve just always found it strange to see this clearly coldwar IFV facing mid WW2 tanks, but I suppose if you take vehicles like the cancerous R3 and EBR into account it shouldnt be strange.

I’m in 5.7-6.0 at the moment in the Russian tech tree and I love the pt-76b it’s so fun with its heatfs and if you can find a place to snipe from it’s nice. Most of the stuff you shoot takes 3-4 shots but it’s honestly fun. I played a game where I got 8 kills with just the pt-76b and it’s so rewarding to have a game like that since the pt is just so easily destroyed.
