Mechanic: more ERA
Russia: ok
Russia:No, new tank
Mechanic:new era and we change the name?
Russia:FUCK it, yes add era and we will say it's a different new tank
@@andreatomasi3755Германия, США
делают тоже самое. А Британия.....

Britain, German, USA: new tank?
:no, Upgrade the old one and change the name
Look at America, there are 4-5 types of Abram’s 💀
@@WorGenderMellshow you gonna get offended over a warthunder comment
Adding composite armor to pretty much any tank makes it look 20 years newer than it is lol
It does lol
40 years
same with ERA
@@justacat2 Nah, ERA gives a "thrown-together" steampunk look

Without era: Т-72А
With era: T-72Б
With new era: Т-72Б 1989
With very new era: Т-72Б3
With even more very new era: T-72B3M
With a slitly different turret: t90
With an ammo rack: Space Program
T72b3 has kontakt 5bwhich is from like the 90/80s, very new would be t72b2 or t80bvm

M26 when he see a panther : "look at me, you are my armor now"
Yeah, he missed that one. It could've been "boiler plate and dead enemies" 😂
This 1 has me laughing so hard 😂😂
The wood was actually for getting out of mud
true, plus it looks cool
I was going to say this too, wood is still used today and not just for tanks but other vehicles too
On some vehicles it counts as 100 fucking mm of armor
im pretty sure philippines used wood as armor on their apc's lol
Philippine APc covered with wood and Cardboard for protection against insurgent RPGs
Bed frame…um…whose idea was it
Идея древнерусских гениев
Древние Русы
It’s not really bed frames. It’s just a mesh screen.
I mean it work against panzerfaust
Russians mounted bedframes and any type of metal screen to help with panzerfaust attacks
The wood on the IS-2 isn’t used for protection. It’s used for unditiching if it were to get stuck in mud or something. Wood can and has been used as extra protection, probably most famously to stop magnetic mines from being attached to tanks, but traditionally isn’t a great source of protection due to wood being weak compared to the metals tanks are made out of. Also pontoons aren’t supposed to be used as armor either, granted due to how much empty space is inside they can theoretically be used as spaced armor but it’s almost useless against any solid penetrators.
Additionally, the bed frames were not bed frames. They were custom made to fit onto T-34s to provide protection from chemical weapons.
@@woofle_124 indeed. It’s kind of strange that the T-34-85Es were a factory kit and the M46 cage armor isn’t (at least from what I can find) since the M46 cage looks much higher in quality.
ingame the pontoons do work as armor.
@@AverageImp I know that’s why I said they aren’t supposed to be used as armor.
Pontoons make HE useless
You forgot a Russian classic. Mounted infantry.
Certified BTR moment.
💀
other military in the world also use tank desant not just Russia
Потому что пехота дает пиздюлей всяким ссаным гранатометчикам.😎👍
i pretty remembered if Americans use tank like that too, just watch COD WW2 campaign. not just Russia, the another country do the same, cause that's the another function of tank.
The last one is just adding boat accessories
Fitting for the Imperial Japanese Land Navy.
Yes and it makes the tank fucing impossible to bring down in warthunder
Leopards with their additional composite screens looks thicc and bulky af. Same with russian T- tanks with ERA
The "grid" is called slat armor
We'd call them birdcages on our MRAPs, made driving a pain in the ass
Those pontoons have absorbed so many shots, I love the Ka-Chi for that reason.
Especially when the enemy is brain ded and just shoot the pontoons instead of the actual tank
Fun fact the wood the soviets used was to help the drivers get out of being stuck in the mud. They used it to put it under the tracks so the tank can have an easier time getting unstuck
T72:I need some things to protect me from drone
Russia soldier: Metal shell
lmao i had no idea you can change Ka-Chi like that.. it looks so goofy without those pontoons lol
The composite armor made that one tank (which i assume is a Leopard) turn from a Leopard 1 into a 2A7
That’s a 2A4
@@mage_mini1945 I’m not good with identifying the post-WW2 german tanks
@@juanignaciollanderal9971no it was originally a 2A4 which was turned into a 2A7 when the Composite screens are added
@@AtomicTurtleInK the 2A6 and A7 got L55s so it would be more like a 2A5
@@petervonfroster8i Yeah perhaps, either one’s is fine cos 2A5 onwards are baisically same other than barrel length
Adding chicken wire to a pershing in order to make it better is possibly the most american thing i have seen in my life.
Ka-mi deserves floats too, its no fair that only the ka-chi get them.
The reason why Russian vehicles have the wood is actually just to help them if they get stuck in mud, and seeing how wet and muddy the war they’re fighting is, definitely was a smart move to keep them
I've always called the M46s extra HEATFS protection Grandma's gardening fence
the pontoons makes that one tank look like an air battle ship XDDDD
The last one be looking like a tiny ship 💀
That last one straight up looks like a drivable boat
APC named "Free wifi" : Wooden planks
Italian "heavy air" is missing, you can find it on Ariete MBT with "WAR" armor kit.
Ah yes, let me bounce this tiger shell with wood on the side of my tank, this will always work! (Fury reference)
T90 Looks clean without the Eyes.
Bro forgot the Bulldozer Attachment
I had to play this for band and now I'm having flashbacks...
The wood was used for when the tank was stuck in mud they would place it under the tracks to get traction. Not armour
Dont forget the latest "Stacking Roof armor around the tank to repel drones" called the tutel armor 🐢
really good video bro 👍
fun fact: 'cope' cages actually can protect from ATGM, HE and HEAT, hope this was helpful :)
Tracks armor is basically salvaging destroyed tanks
Wonder when the Snail is gonna add Russia's new cope cages.
Im waiting for it
It's gonna be useless in WT as no kamikaze drone exists
@@sooryan_1018they would also probably stop bombs because of the 2012 physics sim/game engine
@@sooryan_1018 remember, this is WT with an amazing hitbox

"What is your addon armor M26?"
"P a n t h e r"
I love how the T-72 only need a few minor modifications for it to become new again lol
In fact, a lot has always changed in the T-72, mainly the turret was redesigned, a new cannon was installed, and the automatic loader was increased to accommodate long shells. The body was changed, new fasteners were made for new dynamic protection, the forehead armor thickened and new components were used. They changed the chassis and refined the electronics. Russian tanks have to be heavily modified for modification, since their design is maximally simplified for storming positions. Minimum dimensions, automatic loader for recharging at any speed and any type of terrain, the most accelerated chassis and the most simple transmission and gearbox for repair in war conditions.
@@user-ld1wb8rg1z those are the major upgrades
But most of the time they just slapped a new kind of ERA on it and calls it a day
@@NguyenLyubyuStrana The question here is how you followed the modifications, most of them with improved dynamic protection, were on the options for sale. New electronics were often used inside. The T-72 was released in 1973, during the period 1973-1987, they completely changed the electronics, improved the frontal projection. Plus, at least 4 new tank turret configurations were created, for example, there was an option with an automatic loader in the roof of the tower, now the T-90M is making knock-out panels and changing the automatic loader and increasing the tank body. In general, designers do not eat bread for nothing.
Gotta love John Phillip Sousa
composite thingy made a whole new tank
russia: stalinium
u forgot one bro
Now combine them all for the ultimate tank
Best protection: **Add everything**
The added protection on the Stryker is called SLAT (slatted metal) armor.
Nah man changed races with the electro optical APS 💀
The only reason russia slap era on everything is because they can't make good internal armour.
Fun fact: Era actually dazes the crew a little bit from the charge going off.
The Japanese tank was strange, but then turned into an Amphibian
Seeing the Type 3 Ka Chi without the pontoons is incredibly cursed
Enlisted: infantry sitting in front of the tank is best armor
IS2 had eco friendly wood veneers
Fun fact : almost every form of improvised additional armor doesn’t significantly improve protection , or straight up makes it worse against kinetic penetrators
I mean cage armour definitely helps against HEAT explosives
@@SergyMilitaryRankings only the sanctioned ones. Improvised cage armor such as Russian cope cages have little positive effect, and can even be detrimental
@@andromededp5316 this is just false cage armour has proven incredibly effective so much so it's being used on new T-90M, T-80BVMs and TOS-2s
@@SergyMilitaryRankings by all accounts it is effective at countering some forms of drone strikes, but not HEAT munitions.
@@andromededp5316 HEAT explosives are used on FPV drones mate
You forgot to add galvanized square steel with some eco-friendly wood veneers
I don't think the pieces of wood were used for protection... more than anything else, perhaps, they were thrown into the trenches to fill them, so that they could be crossed
It's basically to give more traction on a muddy ground
that last tank is completely naked
You forget the famous Soviet Infantry MeatBag
The one with pontoons just looks like a boat
Bro the leopard looks cursed without the protection screens
Leopard? Protection screens?
Lets all be greatful our tanks aren't protected with chainlink anymore 💀
Russian Tankers: We live in an ERA
Bro turned into Abrams
Russia can make any tank into newer model. Don't forget, they have IS-2 with galvanized steel
soviet soldier sleeps* soviet engineer: You are sleeping on our bed
Hearing the thunderer gives me flashbacks
Pov T 34 Stz : More stalinium 🗿
Meanwhile that one American tank that uses extra tank armor
"hmm yes, we should put Panther's front hull armor on the turret front
pontoons make the tank like a boat
Chinese:copy the opponent and we will call this by another name.
You forgot infantry for the t34 their flesh makes great shell stoppers
Infantry much more often traveled on shermans thanks to their softer suspension
American infrantry, yeah! Their fat blocks the sun too!
The one with the composite screens just time travelled
Pontoon has to be the goofiest of them all
T-90 update in 2025: Shed/Barn
Half expected florks to show up
I'm pretty sure that "protection screens" havnt done the slightest bit of help
They’re quite effective against RPG and HEAT munitions, as they dissipate the impact/cause an early detonation respectively. You’d never really see them in a near-peer war, only in a counterinsurgency. They were effective against WW2 era AT munitions as they had less sophisticated fuses and explosive setups.
Naked Ka-Chi looks so damn goofy
Merkava is not losing signal anytime soon lol
you forgot the galvanised steal, wood veneers and screws borrowed from aunt
LoL
If it aint broke dont fix it,
if it is broke add ERA
Wooden logs didn't serve as additional armor, but as a utility tool.
If tracks are stuck in mud, you can lay a log for better grip.
japan be like. im a warship now
Waiting for Gaijin to add Shed walls to Add on Armour for T-72 and T-80 tech trees
I used to think the track pieces added onto the side of a tank were just extra bits that could be used for repairs or such. Say you have a few links break thus breaking the whole track, you had extras so you could repair the damage and get the tank moving again.
Never thought it was only for armor.
Now: turtle armor for anti drones
bed frame is personal haha
Fun fact: the pontoons are enough spaced armor to defeat up to Ferdinand TD HEAT rounds.
Russia:Yo we need a actual strong tank with power
Tank company: OK
New tank: T-72 and T 80 combined +500 era= T 90A
expanding my tank with galvanized square steels and ERA borrowed from my aunt
My brain reading it twice when transition comes
Logs aren't for protection - they are used when tank gets stuck in a mud. You chain them to from of the track, let it drive - logs provide additional grip.
Once the logs move to the back, you unchain them and pass them to the front again - repeat until the tank gets unstuck.
Instructions not clear
composite armor started mewing 💀
Electro-Optical APS is basically losing ur rights as a tank💀
we got galvanized square steel and eco friendly wood veneers 🤑🤑🤑💀💀
Protection Screens and Skirts are two different things.
Did protection screens even did anything irl?
Filipinos during the marawi:
Wooden armor on apc

I played that song in my trumpet for the school talent show it’s called the thunderer by John o Riley
The Soviets actually used infantry😂
Ww2 protection screens were the most useless parts of protection in war thunder mobile. That plate of metal is literally thinner than a piece of paper.
That's because it was never meant to protect you against tank shells, kinetic or shaped charge. It was meant to stop Soviet anti-tank rifle bullet
Its not called grid armor, its slat armor. Also, Electro-Optical is a softkill APS, while "APS" on Merkava is hardkill APS
When it started at first, as a true American, I thought it was a song over there
and the final one: bodypillows
The background music… :)
