[ReichWarLord]

I love how the T-34/85 has a big ass saw attached to it

[petergray]

True fact: though the T-34 was used during the Cold War, War Thunder doesn't have the Cold War versions of the T-34. These included the T-34/85 (1945), which possessed electric turret traverse and smoke dischargers, and the T-34/85 (1946), which had an improved engine and other drive train improvements. Other Warsaw Pact countries also upgraded their T-34/85s during the 1950s and 60s, including two versions (Poland and Romania) that were waterproofed and snorkel fitted to allow for submerged fording of rivers up to 5 meters in depth.

Notes:
¹: Pre-Barbarossa development of the original T-34 at Factory No.183 in Kharkiv. Had three man hexagonal turret, torsion bar suspension with four return rollers, improved armor, five man crew with the addition of a hull MG gunner, and increased ammo and fuel. Top speed was 60 km/h and armament was an F-34 76.2 mm gun. Designation T-34M was intended for a projected production model. But in the end only five prototypes were built before abandonment of the design on cost and security grounds. The T-44 medium tank was developed in tandem by the Kharkiv engineering staff using features from the A-43.
²: T-34/85 with electric turret traverse and smoke discharger system.
³:T-34/85 with the 1945 model improvements plus improved engine and new road wheels.

6:53
2 minutes to get CAS up. I thought ground battles was where we're supposed to be playing ground vehicles

[Nufeneguediz]

6:53 in 2 minutes already in a plane. Gaijin fr doesn't see anything wrong in this?!
This is just outrageous

[mrquakc]

Q: Will the Fokker D.XXI also come to the Benelux tree? Because the plane is originally Dutch

[hefgu]

I remember watching some documentary of africas deadliest roads and at one point there was a military convoy with the usual t54 and t55 tanks and then a single almost pristine looking t34/85 with them. Gotta love it.

[Kyleakabooyaaa]

I love this game even though the grinds tough

[Kyleakabooyaaa]

How many kills can yall get with m22 in top tier

[jonunder]

jdam and GPS bombs should have a cheaper SP, you didn't do an experiment playing against pantsir or other strong anti-aircraft

[pilotpug]

Wing fences are to prevent span wise airflow incase of a stall.
Those seem like ventral fins.

[swordsman_messer]

I’m actually kind of glad you decided to show how to use satellite bombs in a live battle. Probably came from the live stream, but I do think you should make this a regular addition to The Shooting Range. Perhaps, “Practical Applications”?

[youtubeforkidz]

Had a 500% silver lions booster yesterday... was the only time I've even had connection issues on my new pc mid match. Disconnected me halfway through the match.

[plasmashadow]

Q: What are the 3 lightest mbts in the game.

[ogarplayer]

Q: Is there a chance to add Polish tech tree or the whole slavic tree: Slovakia, Ukraine, Yugoslavia etc.

[petergray]

True historical fact: The USSR's heavy tank production before WW2 was dominated by two main factories: Kirov in Leningrad and Malyshev in Kharkiv.

Kirov was the Soviet AFV pioneer, building the first mass-produced Soviet tank, the T-26 Model 1931. That same year, they built the first Soviet medium tank, the Tank Grotte, or TG-1. Both tanks had more than one turret (foreshadowing), with the T-26 featuring side-by-side turrets, and the TG-1 had a turret (with a 37 mm gun) on top of another turret (with 76.2 mm gun) beginning Kirov's obsession with turretpalooza.

Kirov AFVs: T-26, TG-1, T-28, SMK/T-100, SU-14 SPH, S-51 SPH, Klementy Voroshilov (KV) series and Iosif Stalin (IS) series Heavy Tanks, and ISU series AGs..

Malyshev (then known as the Kharkov Locomotive Plant, and associated with the Morozov Desgn Bureau) developed its first tank, the T-24, before moving on to the BT series and the T-34.

Malyshev AFVs: T-24, BT series, T-35, T-34 and derivatives, T-44, SU-122/SU-122P.

Interwar and WW2 Russian light tanks were designed in Moscow and were produced in Kirov (Factory No.37) or at Nizhniy Novgorod (then known as Gorki) (GAZ/Ford).

[mariocxdyt]

Q: which is the plane that has the longest deploying time of the landing gear? And the fastest?

[Iraqballmapping]

Q: What vehicle has the earliest usage of APFSDS?

[McMissile]

At 4:14 what do they mean with shoulder launched atgms? They didn't have those during the Korean war or did they?

[BorisBastos]

Excellent tribute to one of the best tanks of all time (for me at least)

[stargazer]

How about a one in the chamber challenge? Meaning you'll have to reload at cap points
