When I found the Easter egg of advance Australia I actually almost cried being taken back to a much simpler time to when I was younger and enjoyed being a mindless kid just flying planes for fun in warthunder

That last part when you said "Don't do something stupid" while Advance Austarlia was playing, really hit me.

Like Winston Churchill said: "If you're going through Hell, good, keep going"
There might be a reward at the end.

When I first heard the Accordion playing on the Arctic map, I actually just stopped and sat on the cap for a while listening. Something about the music just seemed nice, and I'm glad other people felt the same way

The American town maps being training sites is actually the truth when it comes to the desert city map (the one with the train running through it). At least I'm certain that I remember it being stated when the map was released that it was based on the training facilities that the US and other nations were making during the Cold War to prepare for having to defend against a Red Dawn style scenario.

There's also a monolog from the rook-2 at the end of the apex predators trailer talking about his friend (rook-1) who didn't make it through his mission before transitioning to a mig-29, so the pilot of one of the mig-29 in the trailer or perhaps in future trailer is probably going to be rook-2 (war thunder lore when??)

9:33 actually thats not a U-boat, thats a Japanese submarine, you can tell the difference because a lot of japanese submarines had storage for a small floatplane to be stored, hence the large opening and the catapult system on the bow of it. Fun Fact, Japan also built 3 massive submarines designed to carry 3 specially built diver bomber floatplanes that were made for the specific purpose to attack cities on the west coast, but along with the aircraft being virtually unusable, they arrived too late to do anything

When we had the ability to run around the hangar for the anniversary I walked in front of the inflatable sherman that drives by. It pushed me well outside the hangar, it was hard to stay on but you can be pushed out all the way past the tank shooting range and towards the airfield and dockyard. Found this out myself and I’m proud of it!

9:30 is not actually a U-boot, it appears to be a Japanese I-400, which is so cool to see, as it is actually a Submarine Aircraft carrier, designed upon the orders of Admiral Yamamoto

Suggestion for next video: I found out a month or so ago that the Churchill Crocodile's trailer counts as a vehicle in its own right. If you park on a point, cap, and get killed, the trailer will hold the cap for you as if it was an allied vehicle.
I found this out after my team and I spent like 5 minutes driving around the central cap on Japan, trying to figure out why we weren't capping.

The amount of nice details in War Thunder is just amazing.

[Freesorin]

10:50 okay that’s actually hilarious. Gg Gaijin.

[ideadliftkg]

The biggest crime Gaijin committed was replacing the music with the current music we have. The old music is still in the game files and popped up by mistake after a hot-fix and got fixed 1 day later :(

Unless they changed it, the buildings on Alaska can be shot through with almost any AP shell, only chemical rounds are usually stopped.

As for Banned maps, mine is Red Desert.

[itspastmybedtime]

Wow I don’t think that submarine is a u-boat, I think that’s that one Japanese submarine/aircraft carrier. Yes upon further inspection I can confirm that that is the Japanese i400 which were capable of holding 3 M6A’s in a water tight hanger. Pretty neat

[totalignition]

The Northern Lights on Arctic are a nice feature, but I would argue that they're not nice enough to justify giving 5.7 players night battles.

Zoltan: lets all stand for the War Thumder national anthem
Me sitting on the toilet: Ah shit here we go again

[someguyiguess.]

fun fact: in arcade mode the su-25 on severesk-13 makes the crosshair go red and sometimes green however it cannot be damaged even with bombs

10:45 this gave me bf3\4 Easter egg vibe.
Sadly there are no map interaction Easter eggs nor large scale ones like that in WT :(

Those interiors are likely not actually modeled, but rather parallax mapped. This means that it is effectively a texture used to fake 3D simulation inside a place. Games like spider man and use this too

Edit: we can actually prove this at 7:46 by looking at the insides from different directions and different windows; if it was modeled, it would show the same room any way you look at it. But since it is parallax mapped, we see a different room from different directions.

during the 10th anniversary i did confirm that it was a map of the hangar when running around
