Can we get another soviet dot mod series? Would love to see you work your way up ballistic submarines, you have never played as a ballistic missile submarine.
Great content as always. I tried something different: considering the road as the most probable axis of advance for enemy reinforcements, as soon as the order to fall back came, I called the cas strike along the road. 🙂
Well, this made me bump up my Patreon membership. Tactical thinking, great commentary, action and tension. Kudos, my friend, keep making great content.
Ah man, you got me all excited and made me think I somehow missed the Infantry Update when you said you were shooting at infantry behind the house… sent me off on a while Googling tangent 😂
Journal log 1. Today was insane! Friendly tanks were attacking enemy supplies and it was going well, and i was in some brush with my sniper. Then, out of no-where comes this crazy tank driver, and his tank, which was marked the Wolfpack. He was driving like a mad-man. i see an enemy lift up an anti-tank missile launcher, and i shoot him in the head. I shake my head, "Someones going to get yelled at by Colonel Antonov" i say. i then hike back to base, and see that the tank commander actually got commended! This is a strange world. ---Private Ivan Smirnoff, 3rd sniper division
there was a fighter pilot named Ivan Smirnov in WW1 actually. And also Wolfpack is playing as a German in this Video, not russian! But nice narration anyways!
weight intel the t-80B come's with it's 1A33 fire control system that is also shared with the T-64B unlike the TPD-K1, 1A40 . 1A33 features fully automatic lead calculation and also the t-80B will be able the to fire Kobra gun-launched guided ATGM's something the t72 did not get intel the T-72B1 with it's "Svir" gun launched ATGM system in 1985
That is oversimplifying it. There were ground attack varients of the 23. Like the MiG-23BN, which were primarily exported. That is what is in the game atm
Hoping this game has better run than that other Armored tank game that was more modern than WOT but never got a player base to run with had. Yep PT-76 no match at all against even older M-60 with optics & targeting . Thanks for another great video Wolfpack345 !!!
Needed to do an exhaust smoke screen when you retreat as it makes you harder to see other than if they use thermal. Almost all tankers use this if they turn around and show a clean pair of heels to an advancing unit coming towards them and they are retreating.
Speaking of playing tanks that you maybe wouldnt have wanted to, could you play IL-2 Sturmovik as a career series again? its been a while (like 2-3 years since a career) and i just wanted to see if you could so its ok if you dont.
@@TacticsWithJoe it is because the commander in the PT-76 is also the gunner and in order to find the range of a target he was to switch out of his gunners sight and to his TPKU-2 binocular periscope And since gunner heat pc doesn't devide crew roles yet as that is something the developer's will expand into the future. So right know you're stuck with the gunners sight and not able to use the TPKU-2
the T72 is not really compliable to any Abrams expect maybe the first model with the 105mm the t72 is derived from the T-64 a tank that started development in the late 1950's and the t72 entered adopted by the soviet army in August 7, 1973 while the Abrams started development in the late 1970's and adopted by the US army in 1980 also the T-72 was seen by the soviet army as a "mobilization model" and a tank that could be made quickly and a lot of spare parts for it . and something for the troops that was not the best but still useable and a tank that could quickly arm the soviet army with was very the opposite for the T-64 and T-80 that got a lot more advanced systems example in 1976 the T-64B was put into production a got the 1A33 FSC that has fully automatic lead calculation and also could use the kobra gun launched ATGM and in 1978 the T-80B would get the same system also the autoloader's in the t64B and t80B inwards could move in both direction's making the reload time much shorter and the T-72 on the other hand was not given anytime like the 1A33 FSC
Yea you dint wanna be engaging M60's with pt76. 200 mm heat doesn't really affect them lol It would be cool to see a buoyancy mechanic added and and actually use BMP's and now the PT-76 for their somewhat intended purpose
@@Bendejo301 yk, I was just running the the simulation in my mind and my fingers must've slipped. What I said was 200 mm heat, implying a heat shell that size. What I meant is a heat shell that can penetrate 200 mm lol
In many Soviet tanks, if you really need to retreat in a hurry, you don't have much choice, as their reverse speed can be awfully slow in some models. Don't know if this is true for the PT-76, but it is true for T-72s.
US vehicles are basically point and click and are kinda boring, except for the coincidence rangefinder m60 which is a terrible terrible optic that is just frustrating. The Soviet vehicles have more flaws or idiosyncrasies that require building skills to get around which definitely makes them harder to use and therefore more fun to figure out how to employ effectively. I wish they didn’t ignore making red force missions so much. Clear blue force mission bias at the moment.
Hitting anything at 1,2 km with a PT-76 is quite a joke ! considering their awful targeting system, they probably would have missed a cow in the same barn... and also their armor cannot stop a 12,7mm caliber bullet...
Its "one one three", not "one thirteen". You sound like my mom when you say it like that. Unfortunately this game fails the simulation test because the AI is completely brain dead. The PT 76 is easily defeated by an M113 if they don't try to go toe to toe. This game use them like AFVs, when they are scout vehicles typically. The PT76 is considered a crap AFV in its day, primarily because it had paper thin armor. Too slow to be a good scout, can't fight MBTs, breaks down a lot. Second rate in every role. At least the brass didn't expect an M113 to fight like a tank. This game seemed really promising at first, but the tactics used are completely ahistorical. It feels like you are alone on a battle field, and IRL it was anything but that. Typcially use (in the cav) was to get the tanks set up in overwatch, and one lone M113 moves through an open area. Anyone shoots at him gets fire from four MBTs. The game has NOTHING like that, when bounding overwatch is a core tactic in the military. And likely players of this game are oblivious to that.
"We have an attacker overhead!"
"Is it a 23 or a Tornado?"
"Uh... it has swing wings and a single tail?"
"That's not helping, buddy."
Lol perfect
I panicked at first; thought it was an Aardvark.

I don't think you can in campaign, only cruise missile subs
Not too much fun anyway. You just launch and get the hell out.
Something I learned from PhanPhantasy is to fire your MG first to gauge the range then switch over to the cannon.
Yeah that is a good trick!
Great content as always. I tried something different: considering the road as the most probable axis of advance for enemy reinforcements, as soon as the order to fall back came, I called the cas strike along the road. 🙂
Smart!
This mission gave me such anxiety, I was firing APCR at those M60's and they were just LAUGHING at me.
When you ask for bmp-3 and life gives you pt-76

Haha, soon I am sure :D
i hope this game will get optimized, i can see potentials in it due to tank sims been overshadowed for along time.
They are continuing to optimize the game as development proceeds
Gee -- can we wait until it gets out of early access?
Your channel is *much* more tolerable than other channels!

Monday with a Wolfpack video, life is good.
The CoD Black Ops soundtrack usage is beautiful.
MiG-27's. The MiG-23 was A2A, the -27 was a modification/upgrade that improved the -23's ability to do ground attack.
That is oversimplifying it. There were ground attack varients of the 23. Like the MiG-23BN, which were primarily exported. That is what is in the game atm
the model look pretty good hope they update the other vehicles to this standard

Smoke screeens will be added
@@Wolfpack345 That makes sense as if you can't use it then what good would it do.
It isn't added to the module yet.
Speaking of playing tanks that you maybe wouldnt have wanted to, could you play IL-2 Sturmovik as a career series again? its been a while (like 2-3 years since a career) and i just wanted to see if you could so its ok if you dont.
As we see on video, the soviet APCs and MBTs go boom!
same thing with the US supply trucks and M113's
I believe those trucks are deuce and a halves.
M923/M925 ... 5-Ton
This tank is a lot of fun!
Good gameplay
awww yeah finally some "heavy" armor in the game
What a cool vid!!
The PT-76 is a very interesting tank but I could not use it effectively at all.
It is fun. Ranging is the tricky part
@@Wolfpack345 Yeah, The missing range diagram is very strange.
@@TacticsWithJoe it is because the commander in the PT-76 is also the gunner and in order to find the range of a target he was to switch out of his gunners sight and to his TPKU-2 binocular periscope

I would be interested in seeing the fire suport hits.
To those who complain about using T-55 stadia rangefinder… at least you aren’t in this.
What do you think about more modern tanks, T72 with cumulative screens for example, or M1A2 Abrams?
the T72 is not really compliable to any Abrams expect maybe the first model with the 105mm
the t72 is derived from the T-64 a tank that started development in the late 1950's and the t72 entered adopted by the soviet army in August 7, 1973
while the Abrams started development in the late 1970's and adopted by the US army in 1980
also the T-72 was seen by the soviet army as a "mobilization model" and a tank that could be made quickly and a lot of spare parts for it . and something for the troops that was not the best but still useable and a tank that could quickly arm the soviet army
with was very the opposite for the T-64 and T-80 that got a lot more advanced systems
example in 1976 the T-64B was put into production a got the 1A33 FSC that has fully automatic lead calculation and also could use the kobra gun launched ATGM
and in 1978 the T-80B would get the same system
also the autoloader's in the t64B and t80B inwards could move in both direction's making the reload time much shorter
and the T-72 on the other hand was not given anytime like the 1A33 FSC
you better run... Mr Abrams is going to light you up...
Finally, something fresh (not m1 content)😂
Doing these types of missions in the Bradley feels unfair compared to any of the other light armor
Was legit starting to worry about you after not seeing a vid for over a week. Hope all's ok.
What is funnier than a simulation of Russian combined arms assault? Make it realistic and drop the artillery on your own spawn/rally.
Yea you dint wanna be engaging M60's with pt76. 200 mm heat doesn't really affect them lol
It would be cool to see a buoyancy mechanic added and and actually use BMP's and now the PT-76 for their somewhat intended purpose
There is no variant of the M60 that utilized a 200mm gun, let alone a HEAT round for it.

Never have rear of tank facing the enemy.❤

It wouldn't really matter facing MBT's in a PT76. The MBT's will kill you from any direction.
You don't have a laser rangefinder on those machines?
No sadly
the PT-76 never got a laser rangefinder
👍👍👍
PT-76 is amphibious, can it show such ability in this game?
In the future I am sure
PT-76s are little gremlins
How many missions are there?
Does the game have the BMP? That might be fun too.
both the OG bmp-1 and bmp-1P

Mig 27 Floggers
East Germany never flew the MiG-27 variant of the Flogger.
The aircraft shown is a MiG-23BN.
I sit corrected, dagnabbit those planes are very similar in appearance ;)
Fun fact : that’s not a MiG 21
Btw, that was a Mig 27 not a Mig 23, you can tell because of the pinched nose.
No, it is a MiG-23BN.
Where is the infrantry?
After thinking gun sounds like a pea shooter you comment on how thunderous it seems. Too funny.
Nope I wasn't first today. Even worse. I was Six Hundred and Sixty Six (666). The devils number...allegedly. 😈😈😈
Bro …….. where have you been.
And people say light tanks are dead...
Usually are. Cold War tech and Cold War doctrines account for this. Even more so evident in more contemporary times.
Hitting anything at 1,2 km with a PT-76 is quite a joke ! considering their awful targeting system, they probably would have missed a cow in the same barn... and also their armor cannot stop a 12,7mm caliber bullet...
I'm sorry but the PT-76 would have been a death trap against NATO heavy units.
