War Thunder 1.45 Dev Server - Test driving new tanks Part 2 - M4A2 and Tiger (P)

  • 2 months ago
In this last episode from my time on the 1.45 dev server, I test drive the the M4A2 Sherman tank and the Tiger (P) command tank.

I also discover that a 65 ton tank is the ultimate ramming weapon, earning me two kills in the testing grounds.

Transcript
00:00Let's quickly look at the M4A1, and then once we've looked at the M4A1, we'll have a look at one of the German, probably the German Premium, or Bundle, whatever it was.
00:13Where is the... M4A2.
00:18Test drive.
00:20Which one is... ah, the M62.
00:27Just wait for it to load up.
00:31I do apologise for the slightly longer loading screen, so I'll probably try and edit it out once I get a chance.
00:49Right.
00:54Right, we're in the Sherman now.
00:56Is that Fabric?
01:02Well, it's quite a good tank so far. I mean, it goes decently fast.
01:07Even more stable than the others.
01:10Why do we say that, and then I always miss the shot I actually take?
01:14Oh, bloody hell, long reload time.
01:26Oh, this does have machine guns.
01:34Right.
01:41I'll have to check if this is firing tracer. I haven't actually bothered to really check.
01:48I think it is.
01:53Possibly. Oh, I can't really tell now.
01:56This is definitely going to increase the threat to aircraft.
01:59You've got anti-aircraft tanks, you've got tank shells from the occasional player.
02:04Now, with the machine gun fire, it's not going to take you out of the sky unless you get a lucky hit.
02:10Still, now every player potentially has some form of fast-firing weapon to fire at the enemy.
02:18Along with their tank shells, you know.
02:21So you can, you know, with the sheer weight of numbers and the amount of fire, you could probably pose a threat to some aircraft.
02:29I mean, if there's lots of aircraft, you're not going to stand much of a chance.
02:34Oh, my shell might have bounced off him.
02:37I think so, anyway.
02:42No need to track again.
02:45I always make my way up to the Tiger II and the Jagdtiger.
02:50Oh, no.
02:52Don't know what that was about.
02:56Well, perhaps the Tiger II managed to do some damage.
03:01Of course, it was quite blank.
03:03And he's not firing back, but still.
03:09Let's see how we do against the Jagdtiger.
03:12Or the Jagdtiger.
03:15I think it's Jagdtiger.
03:17Apologies for my mispronunciation.
03:20Oh, bloody... How do I miss so often?
03:28Probably because I'm not very good shot, but still.
03:36Right, can this actually penetrate a Jagdtiger?
03:38I don't think so.
03:50Technically, it can.
03:52Oh, no, again. Point blank.
03:54We have armour.
03:56Let's see how we do against the frontal armour at point blank.
04:01Yeah, it just ain't happening.
04:04Actually...
04:06Ah, that's a shame. Let's see if we can fire through the machine gun port.
04:15No, that doesn't work.
04:19Did I just hit the loader?
04:24Oh my god, I'm hitting the loader through the gun barrel!
04:31Why am I hitting the gun barrel?
04:36Okay.
04:40Try and reverse this.
04:48Ah, damn it.
04:50Try and fire down the cannon breech.
04:58Nope, that ain't working.
05:01I'll quickly check out somebody.
05:05Or check out the German Tribium.
05:07Probably leave it after that.
05:09I haven't really got time to do much else, because the death server is going to close soon.
05:16Right, where was it?
05:23VK4-501P
05:30What was it?
05:32Yeah, it was a VK...
05:35Was there two tanks?
05:43I believe there's been two tanks, and I've possibly got things a little bit wrong.
05:49I think it might be that the two tanks are practically the same.
05:55I think this one's a command version.
05:58Just checking out the weight.
06:0165 tonnes.
06:0360 tonnes.
06:06But they've probably got the same armour.
06:11Same gun.
06:15Yeah, except one's a bundle and one isn't.
06:18One's slightly higher battle rating.
06:21I'll test out the bundle one.
06:23Well, no, I'll test out this one.
06:27Because it's one you can actually buy.
06:30Right, 130mm.
06:33That's the ARP MOV1.
06:38Right.
06:40Load it up.
06:46This thing is...
06:50Sometimes you can just tell it's a Tiger from the way it flies.
06:54Or it can be taken away by the track sound.
06:56Track sound.
06:58Aw, dammit. Missed a gun.
07:01Well, I did actually say in-state this time, so...
07:04At least I know I'm not jinxed.
07:08Ooh, got a bit...
07:10Didn't know what that was about.
07:12Oh, bloody hell.
07:15Okay, ramming speed.
07:20Oh my god!
07:21Oh my god!
07:25I didn't actually think that would work.
07:27Usually you just hit and you're like...
07:30Doesn't actually move, right?
07:32Oh my god, I killed it.
07:34I mean, I destroyed it. I set it on fire.
07:36I mean, I'd expect that in real life, but in the game it doesn't work like that usually.
07:52Okay.
07:56Okay, we hit suspension.
07:58I don't think it's going to work as well this time.
08:01Ooh, didn't take any damage from that blue wave.
08:04Don't think we did.
08:07Having a hard time getting up to speed now.
08:14I mean, we did take some damage.
08:16Oh, he's on fire. I don't want to be ramming him while he's on fire.
08:22Oops. Come on.
08:25Oh god. Come on.
08:32Oops, sorry for that. I might have just made a few weird noises there.
08:35Had to readjust it.
08:39Well, we hit the suspension and managed to KO most of the crew.
08:43And I think we set it on fire.
08:46Oh wait, we need to attack behind it.
08:47Oh wait, we need to attack behind it.
08:50Yeah, that missed.
08:57There's a tank over there.
08:59T-34.
09:04Oh, it's a moving target.
09:07Oh, aim too far down.
09:11Try and hit it once it's in this clearing.
09:14It's a bit nearer.
09:23Damn.
09:25Oh, we hit it. Apparently it didn't actually do damage, but blew its turret off anyway.
09:31Well, Gaijin have made massive improvements to the damage model here.
09:35Doesn't always make sense, at least in the test driving area.
09:41Ah, KV-2.
09:43It'd be hard not to hit that.
09:49Anyway, we can't hit that.
09:52Well, from this distance.
09:55Well, actually, you probably could miss it, I suppose.
09:58Oh, why aren't you exploding everything?
10:06Where's this last tank?
10:08Tempted to go in for another ramming.
10:11Having trouble getting back up to speed, we must have taken some damage.
10:16On the tracks or something?
10:17But pressing R to repair doesn't do anything, so we can't...
10:21...have taken that much damage?
10:23I don't know.
10:27I've got to keep firing as we head towards it.
10:30I'm sure we hit that other tank at 24, so we must have...
10:33Oh, we're actually hitting it.
10:34Hit that other tank at 24, so we must have...
10:36Oh, we're at 18 now, so maybe we can...
10:40...give it a long enough run-up.
10:45Not sure what to expect here.
10:48Shame you can't get some of these to fight back or something, to improve your skills.
10:54Just sort of glorified target practice.
10:57Can we flip it?
10:59Yes, and we can...
11:02...blow straight through it.
11:05Okay, um...
11:07...I like this tank.
11:08I like this tank a lot.
11:15Oh, that's not good.
11:17That's not good.
11:19That's not good.
11:21That's not good.
11:23That's not good.
11:24That's not good.
11:28Oh, not restart.
11:29Turned to hangar.
11:31Anyway, um...
11:32...thank you for watching this episode of...
11:33...well, episode to Forerunner.
11:36Sorry if they're not the best quality in the world.
11:38I had to really rush to get them done.
11:41Originally, I've really had time to do them at all, but...
11:44...thought I'd take a chance.
11:46Stay up a bit later than usual.
11:48Anyway, thank you for watching.
