What Is The Worst Premium Tank In War Thunder?

The video on the worst tank in War Thunder was pretty fun to make, so doing one on the worst premium tank was a no-brainer. It's hard for Gaijin to make money if a vehicle is bad, so finding it was a little bit more interesting this time around.

When you said ZUT-37 i felt weird. When i played it, it was brutally good on flatter urban maps. It worked well as a medium range sniper and in a downtier it was an absolute destroyer. I used to play it quite a lot and do well with it. It only suffered in full uptiers. I can't remember if it was increased in BR since i played it tho. Surprised you named it the worst, it definitely restricts you to a certain playstyle but in that small area it can perform adequately.

[@Ohnothetowers]

@@kirishima638 T-60 is fun in some situations lmao

[@darkninjacorporation]

@@kirishima638 nah dude I’m serious. The only downside I remember with the T-60 was that the gun took ages to reload. At it’s tier, with AP ammo, that auto cannon absolutely shreds most opponents. I also remember that it’s drowning depth was kinda funky, and it could submerge up to basically the turret ring. So the only part of the tank visible is it’s tiny little turret. I have a screenshot on my Steam (same name) of my T-60 sunk to the turret with angry eyes like a turtle. I will admit this was a few years ago, before any of the new countries asides from I think America. So I’m sure with things like maybe the early French heavies/mediums it might have trouble.

[@Insanerobert44]

The Panzerwerfer will keep a special place to my heart - I bought it (at discount, sice it can be a bit pricy just because it's a Rocket launching vehicle) and it can be actually fun and some people will freak out when they hear those missiles launch at them. It was a bad vehicle when the HE projectiles were lackluster in damage and was sitting at a BR of 3.0, but right now I would say it's all right. It is true it's not very mobile and it does not get amazing penetration (heavy tanks like KV-1 for example will survive pretty well against it, otherwise just aim for the turret and the blast damage will pen the roof of most tanks, T-34 included) plus the paper thin armor, but it can kill, sounds quite amazing and now with a proper gun sight you can actually aim properly (it used to lack the distance markers in gunner optics). It has an MG with great elevation, although it can fire +/- 45 degrees frontally - still, it can save you from soft targets like exposed SPAAs. It's main downside though: the reload rate in cap points once all 20 rockets are spent. It takes ages - I believe 2 minutes, to reload a full salvo of 10 rockets (another 10 are available for reload), if you move an inch the reload cicle must start again. This leaves the vehicle very vulnerable since it can't defend itself. if you move - you lose the chance to get the ammo back.

[@NeverlostatBSgaming]

I think the BM-13N is technically worse than the BM-8-24 as the 13N has 2 crew, is a truck, has a gun *DEPRESSION* of +8 and has a bad engine, machine guns can wipe your crew and you only have 31mm of pen with 8 rockets

[@farmingtonfakenamington3048]

You're much faster and the rockets are far far better than the bm 8 24

[@a.b.3455]

"Only 31mm of pen" that Is almost 4x of what the BM-8-24 can pen. Also the BM-13 has hydropneumatic suspension which makes it objectively better in every way possible.

[@Nighthawk2401]

The old event challenge of getting 5 kills in 1 game before your free BM8 test drive expired wasn't thought out; I cheesed it in the very last game before time ran out using arcade CAS, and I'm 90% sure an arty teamkill counted as my 5th

Honestly the ZUT is one of my favorite prems, it's really the only AA I use for Russia until the Shilka. Even though the turret is slow, most CAS players aren't very smart so it's easy to bait them into flying in a straight line at you, where just one hit on them is usually a kill. As for using it as anti-tank, it's insane. There's almost nothing it can't kill really. I've even killed Tiger 2s through the back of the turret ring.

[@RareDeAdSkuLL]

[@garbage_racoon8333]

can you do a teir list of you favorite tanks all time for low mid and high pls :D

[@luggilu7864]

All of the tier 1 premiums except for the meme vehicles. For the simple reason that you can't level very far with them, they are usually not any better than other tier 1 vehicles, and even without them and without premium you will level into tier 2 and tier 3 so fast that you'll get maybe a day or two of gameplay out if them before it's no longer reasonable to keep using them to level up. So you'll only go back to them when you're already in top tier for the occasional fun match at low tier.

[@socialus5689]

And yes, the BM-8-14 is not very good, but It kills things surprisingly well since the Overpressure up date, just not from the front. And since it got moved down to 1.3 instead of 2.3, that has helped it quite a bit.

Please do make a video on the absurdity of helicopter enduring confrontation. I was trying to grind my newly acquired YAH-64 in this mode. The results were as following: my average lifespan was around 30 seconds, before a Vikhr missile collided with my forehead. I ended up losing a couple of thousand SL, and, for 40+ minutes of doing whatever the circumstances allowed me to do, I didn`t even manage to research a quarter of one modification. Though, I suppose, gaijin has made this mode very intentionally. Why is that? Because, the only playable helicopters here are the russian ones (obviously). They are the only one who can throw missiles at every single enemy from 8km, bullying God-forsaken AH-1Gs, Mi-24s and *ugh* poor allouettes. So, to actually do something except crying in this mode, and to actually GRIND THE HELICOPTERS (honestly, since they were added, I haven`t researched even the AH-1F), they have to pay and buy the Ka-50.

Crew aced long ago, and it doesn’t leave my UK lineup at all once BR allows it in. Worst would be the Black Prince.

After playing for hours gaijin finally blessed me with a post match drop. I already got excited when i saw that the spin was gonna land on a 50% discount for a premium vehicle. OFC you can probably already guess what vehicle i got discounted: good ol' BM 8

[@uisce_]

What do you thinks the worst event vehicle?

[@MetalX34]

katyusha truck sounds like a nice start.

[@uisce_]

@@MetalX34 worst non-rocket?

The stdkfz with the 37mm pea shooter. Literally no reason to play it.

I actually did all right in the ZUT...even killed a few planes. Mind you I used a 150 crew and Expert and Ace XD The LVT 4/40 is going to 3.0 anyway (Would have preferred it to be 2.7 but oh well) it needed the move to break up the 2.3 line up of death with the B1ter

[@lalad0]

it needs 3.3 imo

[@jyralnadreth4442]

@@lalad0 at 3.0 it faces tanks it cannot pen anywhere - any of the KVs, T34s it can only side shot low, Shermans side shot, Churchill through its MG port. Anything with HEAT can kill it in 1 hit

[@lalad0]

@@jyralnadreth4442 tbh I'd Remove it completely, low br = completely OP and too high br means useless. I've been grinding the Swedish lately, and the first 2 weeks of the BP I practically could J out of the French were in the enemy team as they always were level 100 veterans trashing on all my team and bullying everyone. And when they were on my side they were taking all the kills and I couldn't get to have any kills pretty much. This tank means so much pain for me I just wish they remove it

[@GENERICNICK-kj4lm]

@@lalad0 only the su 122 bias can kill it at 2.3

[@jyralnadreth4442]

@@GENERICNICK-kj4lm Any 75mm firing HEAT can kill it in 1 shot...The Ro Go, the NBFz, the T35, the M8 Scott etc etc etc -they are all lower than 2.0. Now it needed to move to break up the OP lineup at 2.3 with the B1's...but its not undefeatable.

[@Haaton-of-the-Basement]

I thought the worst Canon Vehicle was gonna be the ALMIGHTY Ro-Go. It's clearly the best vehicle to learn how to range your enemies at close range.

[@EagleKai]

I’d say both the Ro-Go and Nb.Fz. are worse than the ZUT-37.

[@sethmullins8346]

@@EagleKai I regret nothing more than acquiring the nbfz

[@StarCraftNOOB204]

I still remember the BM-8-24 5 kills event, I spent an hour before it started putting sellotape on my monitor as a ranging guide, first game I had was 4 kills followed by 1 kill in a respawn - I have never been more proud/happy. (The event gate you the Katuysha as a reward) Further context: Gajin said it needed 5 kills (maybe in 1 match, I can't remember) originally but they meant 5 kills in 1 life, the ambiguity lead to thousands of support tickets so they massively lowered the requirements.

[@Teh0X]

I'm very surprised there was no mention of Ro-Go.

[@Scarl3t03]

worst is the black prince imho. When they introduced the heatfs at that br, and lowered some bigger tanks, that thing is pretty useless. It should be 5.0

[@BenWhat09]

Me the entire video: don't say t-35, don't say t-35, don't say t-35, don't say t-35.

[@AlexNV75]

As a Naval player, I think the USS Welborn C. Wood is the worst premium. It’s a copy paste of the USS Litchfield. But both have 4, dinky 4-inch cannons with a slow reload, no aa, the cannons don’t get aa rounds, poorly placed torpedo tubes, weak torpedos, a bad rangefinder, mediocre speed, low crew/survivability. + Naval compression has it facing exponentially better destroyers, it can’t stop any plane bombing or rocketing it, and it can’t protect itself from fast torpedo boats either. Therefore, it is literally useless against any kind of threat in naval besides a small gunboat (unless they disable your guns first, then u still lose). The only thing is benefits from is the strong US aircraft that can complement it, but GL even getting enough points for them. It’s honestly not even worth the ≈ $2

[@StealthySpace7]

The Katyusha has to be on this list somewhere. Terrible pen, not enough explosive yield to overpressure, can only fire forward, 0 degree of depression so if a tank is within 20 meters you’ll sometimes shoot over it. Horrible vehicle

[@wolfking164]

I'm really surprised that the Cromwell V (RP-3) didn't pop up cause it's rockets are unaimable

[@GENERICNICK-kj4lm]

Yea but the cromwell is still a solid tank

[@PhantomTangeant]

I need to revisit that tank. I used to bull rush targets, slam on the brakes, and while the tank was pitched forward the rockets would hit whatever was right ahead. That was before the change to rocket acceleration, so they possibly hit more often without the assistance of brake/pitch now.

[@Dominik_1136]

Disagree on ZUT-37 Penetration was okay when I last time played the game. If you don't hit, pen, kill crewman or damage any components you have second, third, fourth and fifth shot to do it. Also, I consider it as light tank, not AA. And spawn cost as AA is great asset to have. Ofc you have to adapt gameplay to it a bit, but if you want, you can get decent amount of kills. Fun to play, fast, quick reload, okay pen, armor can stand most 20mm cannons for some time

[@LeadFollower551]

Hell no ZUT-37 is hella good you just need to play it right and it becomes op

[@Emil215p]

Exactly, its amazing.

[@AveragePootis]

Bruh the ZUT-37 is the worst? Were you drunk while recording this? the Ro-Go is without question the worst premium in the game

[@hoshyro]

Weird, the ZUT has to be one of the most fun vehicles I ever got, got some aces with it at times and while being opentop, the turret is small enough for you to be fairly surviveable against strafing runs, especially if you move about
