The artifical horizon is like that on multiple Russian planes, such as MiG-15, MiG-17 and some that are not in the game too (Yak-52 for example). It's actually an intended "feature" and the thing works properly as it should, just... not in a way we're used to.

Fun fact:
If you shoot down all 4 Bf-110's on the German low-tier test flight map the 2 escort Bf-109's will land on the main airfield.
They also dissappear after landing.

We are again reunited here to know these almost useful knowledge.
God bless the snail and the repair cost

The missing crew member thing is also present on several WWII British aircrafts.

Also for some reason british aicrafts seem to suffer alot of incomplete module modelling, as often oil tanks, oil coolings or crew members will be missing or some 20mm guns will both have a drum as well as a belt with box.

ROSES ARE RED, HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE DAY. THAT SPONSORED BIT WAS A PERFECT SEGWAY!

A lot of people don't know that the US flag decal in the US tanks section is actually historically accurate. It only has 48 stars, as the USA only consisted of 48 states at the time.

8:02 That is for all tanks after like 3 patches ago. If their breach is open when exploding, fire will shoot out.

I've been killed by players sitting in smoke with just their muzzles pointing out... you could NOT see them at all.

another fun fact, if your engine was completely turned off:
1. turret with hand cranked mechanism also got slower traverse (even the milk truck)
2. autoloader will load ammo slower

1:20 "Диспетчер, вызов принят. Отправляемся к институту средней промышленности, сохраняем бдительность."
"Dispatcher, call accepted. We go to the institute of medium industry, remain vigilant." (Google translate)

The ki83 also has an 'invisible' crew member in the middle of the tail section. Pretty sure he does reconnaissance and radio operating

[fallrising]

The Tiger II isn't the only tank with such ammo rack animation.

It's supposed to be on all of the tanks.

I love how these are actually useless info, thay can be turned into something useful.

The out of bounds area:

“Wait, what do you mean they didn’t model archways outside of the play area? Cheap bastards! Negative steam review”

[esbendit]

Those are not solar panels (or at least they should not be). They are mirrors that focus the sun on the top of the central tower. This heats water, that can then be used for power or heating.

"sweatiest players"
Personally the use of a Leopard 2a6 is fairly suitable

[randomphoenix]

8:34 this also happens in the mosquito, where there are two Nigels but only one appears on the x-ray.

[FullMetalBaldo]

I love these """useless""" facts even if i don't play WT, they're just so cool !

[KampfBrot]

8:03 actually every tank can can have those explosion effects out of the barrel. They added it somewhat recently with ground breaking I think.

This might be useful for some. If you have well populated tech trees and are struggling to identify new lower vehicles that have been added but not fully researched yet, go to one of your current vehicles in research and click on boost research. You can then cycle through different nations and different trees to see all of the vehicles that are currently available for research. I quite often do this after a new patch to save me hunting for them
