May we have a minuite silence for the Flakpanzer 341, Tiger 10.5cm, Panther II and Maus

"I imagine when everything levels out it will join the other M48s in future"

Well that aged like milk...

Interesting to see you recommend RakjPz over M48 in the 7.7 lineup. I remember back when M48A2 GA2 was 7.7 it was such a breath of fresh air since you only had the Leopard 1 and the Maus at 7.7 for years vs the countless T-54s and Pattons, the only viable backup to the Leopard 1 was a Panther 2 due to its mobility and even at mild upteirs the Panther 2 did struggle while the newer M48A2 GA2 was beyond perfect. I used it as a second spawn religiously and even fell in love with it using it over the Leopard 1 on some maps. Great at taking hits from SPAA late game, autocannons from IFVs and since it didn't have the tumor coupla famous on Pattons, it could bounce alot and at range the armor would work to almost consistent levels. I have bounced poorly placed shots from Russian 122 to British apds to the point where "wiggling" in close quarter combat or an enemy pushing me while on a reload became a viable strategy. Coming from a Leopard (clocked in around 800 RB battles), the Patton was brilliant but gaijin in their infinite wisdom gave it a dart and relegated it to irrelevance at 8.3 without a stabilizer and armor that just can't do anything at that BR with negligible mobility.

It's also sad to see no maus in a 7.7 lineup. I hope they bring it back. The 188 Ton useless beast is sometimes just fun. I think players, as myself did, went for the maus for its absurdity rather then its effectiveness as anyone who played German heavies would invariably come to the conclusion that armor doesn't really matter. I do understand gaijins inability to balance the tank and I really appreciate you talking about the what ifs of a BR change to this behemoth. Really puts speculative arguments to end especially the circlejerk on reddit regarding the Maus.

Great video oxy. This one was the only video I was anticipating because I've spend so much time there and I really wanted to see your point of view on these tanks.

Also on a side note, I know it might get tedious but the skins you use to showcase these tanks are not available for 'normal' players. It might be nice if you linked those skins or just a mention in the description would be great. As someone who follows in your footsteps and tries to spade everything that I play, I think having skins on tanks and planes just adds a layer of quality and character. I still go out of my way to complement skins, especially market ones.

Edit: thank you for mentioning skins you used!

Jpz 4-5 sole advantage over the M41A1 is better HEAT-FS, making it capable of easily piercing T54 UFPs, whereas the 76mm HEAT-FS would require either range to get a flatter hit or side shots.... And at least the 90mm IS ACCURATE compared to 76mm APDS or HEAT-FS at ranges above 400m

[asiftalpur]

262 camera angles were excellent, oxy.

[professorclup]

Last time I was this early, Ghost division was already behind the enemy frontlines

[panzerwafflez]

(Sees JgTiger has "GrEaT aRmOr" as Pros)
Me: laughs in getting wrecked by HEATFS and Sabot

[adrißer]

I mean

Remove the maus

Keep the Premium DoomTurtle at 6.7?

[hydry]

youtube auto-generated chapters are funny lmao. I love the tanks GOOD FIREPOWER, GOOD MOBILITY and CAN FIRE FROM CONCEALMENT

[nicolasgonzalomiranda]

Although i'm not a very active player of wt i find your videos very informative and relaxing

[edwinjoseph]

German M48 at BR 7.0 is the latest BR crime by Gaijin.

[Nighthawk]

"has great defensive and defensive qualities"

[Avionicx]

In my opinion, the BMP-1 is really good at CQC. Especially after the 1P modification, you can hit an enemy with the gun and then immediately with the ATGM, or get an easy double kill, and then hide back in cover. It doesn't do great at long range, however.

[rezapratama]

This video is what i've been waiting for so long! I enjoy the review so much!

[MGSuper]

Honestly, I think they need to re-do the BR system, change it from current odd-number to even-number system, .0 .2 .4 .6 &.8 could spread out MMs more.

[NotGrimman]

27:36 dear god he shot down a plane with the jagdtiger's main gun

[LusciousLebel]

"However I imagine when thing calm down it will move with the other M48s" oh boy how we were wrong on that one. Thanks Gaijin for putting this tank at 6.7!

[Nightwolf]

F to all the massively over tiered T32s getting facefucked through the frontal armor from across the map and paying 15k+ in repair cost

[panzerofthelake]

For the Leo, The APDS is much more deadly now, it can easily one shot most tanks from the fron or 45° angle, and the hesh works great at taking out light tanks when they only expose a tiny bit of their tank.
