man i just love the SU/ISU-152's they are such great tanks!

[@arnaudn.5675]

I'm having a blast with the SU-152 too, surprisingly good ! I kind of disagree with the survivability analysis given in the video, I''m rarely getting front penned even against tigers, and a lot of shells will bounce of if you avoid standing still, like oxy advised doing with the KVs. And mobility is still enjoyable for the most part and often allow to nope out of a tricky situation. Very enjoyable tank destroyer. I'm yet to try the ISU but I hated the KV85 for it's bad handling and I see that the ISU uses the same gearbox with an even weaker engine. Not sure if that one has as much potential as the first one.

you have helped me so much in war thunder thank you not only have i managed to get higher ranked tanks because of you but i have also learnt how to properly play and counter each tank of most tech trees thank you for being who you are and doing what you do

[@laberdude]

Never feared the KV2.. Always had a good laugh seeing this house on tracks. So easy to kill.

[@lorandsilye1464]

Yeah, if the player's an idiot... I had multiple occasions when I pushed into the central cap point, and started to shoot at the enemy. There was almost always a Death Barn, who just waited for me to reload...

[@dreamhaze9123]

Oxy says KV-2 can inspire fear in opponents, but KV-2 players themselves are more scared of their own reload speed. They often take a while before shooting and that's when I easily kill them through those big flat armor plates.

[@v3es473]

No longer, overpressure changed everything

[@MotivatedVergil111]

Unless its looking right at you, using its manual gear mode to eliminate gun wobble.

[@TheOneWayDown]

Depends. If you get uptiered and see one, they're pretty spooky because you can't touch them and they can just click you out of existence if they happen to be reloaded. In their correct BR or if they get uptiered, and you have a decent gun, they're kind of a joke. If you're good with it, you're going to play it like a TD that can bounce shots if you make a mistake. But since it's a meme tank, almost nobody actually plays it enough to be good at it.

[@muziekjes6811]

33:53 You seem to oversee one PRO to the SU-57B: when playing for the warbonds, you will wish for rank III vehicles while keeping as low a BR as possible. This is where the SU-57B truely stands out. Keep it up, I love your videos.

[@Miles26545]

And wagers

[@generalschirlitz77]

Oxy, the ZiS 43 was notorious in real life for its bouncy suspension, to the point the gun's recoil can make it sway just enough it made it hell to fire. In most causes legs were added so when in a spot to fire they were lowered to keep it upright.

[@Demospammer9987]

[@arnaudn.5675]

I like it but I'm seeing so many full uptiers these days (tigers H1, M18...) that I rarely enjoy it anymore. I gave a shot at the KV1-S that I never seriously considered playing, and I find that I'm doing overall much better in it, and that the 0.3 drop in BR does wonders for the matching.

It's because its 57mm gun had very muzzle velocity for the time: 990 meters per second. it gave it a very straight trajectory compared to the slower and heavier 76mm shells of other T-34s.
