Just remembered this one Time I bounced a shot by a Cent Mk 10 from across the map and turned that 105 towards him, let one a loose, and a perfect lower front plate shot that killed all his crew and ammo racked him. Seeing him explode with such a perfect shot had to be my best moment in WT.
To see someone to play that tiger 2 so well it gives me hope as german cause lately i bounce from so many Things and hate americans and russians for there stabilzier and there fast turrets
Good to see you again odd, fell of a motorcycle earlier today and messed my ankle up, to numb the pain a met up with my old friend whiskey bottle after a nap I now have a hangover, today just isn’t my day but glad your around to make it better
2:24 the best thing on that Tiger II 10.5 is that it has split ammunition. the charge is in the hull and just the warhead is in the turret. the warhead normaly doesn't explode wenn it got hit. thats the biggest difference in the Tiger II and the 10.5.
14:16 sums up my experience of Spawn in half the time. Spawn in and instantly drive into friendly, get free and drive right into another friendly that is still loading.
17:08 Genuinely thank you for doing that Odd. I have been jump scared by so many random ammo racks over the years in War Thunder. When folks do this it helps a lot for me and I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
Me: sees a tank in front of me "That's a...tank" Shoot AT it. Odd (while peering through bushes, somebody's smoke and a building, at something a mile away with a tiny piece of track sticking out): Name, number, rating, armor, gun, ammo, reload speed, weak spots.......plink, it's dead.
@@michaelstjohn6086 yeah, hard. The German M10. That is one of the most sexiest tank in the game but they won't allow you to get it. Gaijin is just thinking about itself and doesn't give a shit about player wellbeing. That is why I've been searching for a crew of game developers to help me make a better War thunder.
Another small advantage of the 105 is that sometimes when you take hits in the bustle you wont go up like the normal tiger 2 because of the way the ammo storage is
Odd here saying "I think it's a Ratel" while the tank in question was behind multiple bushes and concrete fences while my spotting ability can be summed up with "His vision is based on movement".
I will never be able to shake my bias off of this thing. I spaded it years ago when it was the German answer to the T54s/IS4 and it was not fun. Of course the Kugelblitz was the obvious answer back then with it's full HVAP belt.
Personally if there’s a game mode where planes aren’t included I’d play this game more often. Planes are like arty in world of tanks. I have tried to learn how to fly planes but it’s not my cup of tea ☕️
Are you me from a different dimension? Literally SAME dude. Wish they could add for example RB but strictly ground vehicles or something. Atm just feels like you get a good position, maybe a few kill then you hear the whistle..
@@Nikola-eu9nu Yeah let me just gun down a jet directly above me with my tank destroyer while I'm fighting other tanks before he gets his bombs off. Are you being serious?
Easily my favorite thing about the gun on this Tiger is the fact that the APCBC kills all of a tank’s crew with overpressure 95% of the times it pens, really makes up for the reload time imo
Odd I have to tell you I have been really down the past few days and when I saw you uploaded it lifted my spirits back up...and to answer your question my favourite Tiger in WT is whichever you're driving into the teeth of the enemy team to knock em out.
I remember seeing the "We're removing these tanks because they aren't historical", I am still fucking angry about that, look at a fucking large portion of the Russian tree, look at the completely pointless Russian 2.0 (China) tree, look at all of the vehicles in the bloody game that don't exist. And they removed this, like really Gaijin.
The 105mm cannon was completely made up for the Tiger II, the Panther II was also never meant to have the 88, it makes sense that these tanks would be removed from the game.
Id kill for this thing just because of the rangefinder. When I saw people talking about the Panther F and Leo 1s rangefinder, this is what I had in mind. I can hardly tell a difference between those two and any other tank's rangefinder
With this there is one simple rule: -You Pen, You kill. There is no way around that. Such a good looking tank. Flawless performing too (in game, in the right hands).
i m german and im usally pretty unbiased with the german tanks (at least how they function in the game) (im german) , but this thing is an incredibly beautiful tank that looks (at least in my eyes xD) perfect in every way. the big gun, the stylish desing and the suprisingly powerful engine makes me really jealous towards odd because he owns one ;)
@@Paul___04 Mein 6.7 Lineup ist so geil. Panther II, Jagdtiger, Tiger 2 10,5, Tiger 2 (H), Kugelblitz und je nach Wahl den Jagdpanther oder Puma. Mit 5.7 Deutsche einfach mein Lieblingslineup😍 und ja Maus ist auch geil ist nur leider mein einziger Panzer auf 7.7

I think it's more a case of it being ridiculous and un-realistic (to the extent that it became a meme on tank forums). The breech of the 105 would have shoved the commander's corpse out of the rear of the turret with each shot, for instance. Luckily, the thing would have been almost impossible to reload as well, so the two issues would cancel each other out. I don't mind some level of fantasy tanks in the game, but I'd at least like them to obey the laws of physics.
Now imagine this cannon but instead of being a sub-caliber projectile apfsds its as thick as the actual barrel, that's what the xm803 and the mbt70 shoot with a 152mm cannon.
The four main nations are at their worst (with arguably their best tanks) at around 5.3-6.7. That's where the iconic tanks are at so that's where all the nationalists flock to and get shit on for thinking their tank > literally any other tank
I love this tank but every time i play it, i find myself thinking a regular Tiger 2H would have been better because of the reload. Blessing and a curse, because i'm forced to play more cautious and i survive more, picking one after another. Same applies to the IS2, as a T34 85 has a far better reload and i'd be able to do more in that particular situation, but surviving more is also fun. Doesn't do you any good if your team all suicides and you're left alone though.
And -this- is why the KwK 10.5cm Tiger is my most favoured vehicle in the entire game, the TAM-2C and 2A6 coming a close paired second. Managed to unlock this bad boy, the Panther II, Coelian and Maus back in the day before removal.
I'm so pissed they removed it. I started the game right after it was removed I don't care if it didn't exist I want one. It's easy for the players who already have it to say that non historical vehicles shouldn't be in the game. I'm grinding the japanese tree like crazy to make sure I get the ho-ri prototype and production before they decide to remove those too.
They will not remove the prototype, the production never even existed even in blueprint form so they will remove that one if they do even then its unlikely since there is nothing to fill the gap that would be left by their removal (specifically the production)
1. i hope this year instead of the maus we will get the chance to research the panther 2, this tiger or the Flackpanzer 341 2. the longer the reload of a tank is (i.e. the AVRE), the better i perform😂
As somebody who has spawned in many an aircraft, if you can manage to hold off firing and moving, you probably won't be seen (unless you're taking fire). It is very difficult to spot a tank among that clutter if they're sitting still.

@@boomboomyourdoomdoom1767 I am well aware of every aspect of the tank. Not existing however is not an issue for a video game. There are several tanks in the game right now that have similar issues and even then, I have no care.
@@panzerlite8108 yes that’s why gijin been removing tanks that never existed sadly German tech tree had the most removed panther 2, king tiger 105 bunch of the AA the ru251 going to be removed soon only one that still comes and goes is the mouse
Every time i see a video like this, be it War Thunder or WoT, I have a hankering to start playing again - been playing ground forces since it arrived. However.........I can't help but remember all the pain over the years as a solo pleb who's not particularly great.
I’ve been playing war thunder off and on since before tanks were in the game. During one of my breaks they removed this and when I came back I was pissed to not see it anymore in the tree and sadly I had only unlocked the first tigers at that time. Really disappointed that I missed out on this tank as it and the Panther 2 were the two German tanks I always wanted the most. I’m so sad I missed these, glad I was able to get the Maus more recently but I would have preferred the 10.5 or Panther 2
War Thunder: "The Tiger II is one of the most dangerous tanks to encounter in the game. Proceed with extreme caution if you're against it, and be comfortable if you're allied with it." Real life: "The Tiger II is---" CRUNCH! ".... now without working transmission."
That Steel Foil guy was like me in a full uptier: be sad about full uptier, still top of the team with many kills and 0 deaths, only to then realize the entire rest of the team vanished into oblivion
You’re forgetting about the secret buff that comes with a bigger gun… a bigger mantlet. Compare the percentage of the turret face covered by the mantlet for the 10.5 vs the 8.8cm tigers. Plus the rangefinder can sometimes save your bacon by eating some shrapnel. Also I never noticed issues with the shells disappearing into overlapping plates and whatnot. The 105mm is definitely my favorite tiger. Also, aside from the gun and tracks, I’m pretty sure you are immune to the US 76mm guns and 90mm M82 rounds from the front. With a bit of an angle I think you can even cheese US 90mm apcr.
I bought a warthunder account just to be able to enjoy this cat, but what i wasn't noticing is the repair cost of this thing 17k!. i can confirm to you that I hit the zero multiple times because of it💔
I got a triple ace in the Tiger II 105 once before, might have actually done it more than once, but man, when its good, ITS GOOD. Haven't played that beast in forever though, but I spaded it quite quickly when I first got it.
The intro with that epic music could be the trailer to some movie set in an alternate reality where germany is the good guys and the protagonist has to hold an entire zone against swarms of USSR tanks
i find it interesting how people complain about German tanks like the Panther II and Tiger 105 but they don't complain about Centurions going against WW2 tanks or any other post war tank going against WW2.
Yes! Finally! I havent started watching, but after 11 hours of work, take away at my hotel, and I see this... My Fav tank, I use this every time I play WarThunder. 105, Panther II, Jagdtiger and wirvel. Cost? Booi, way too exensive when we often get into 7,7 games... But still, I love playing this tank... I stopped grinding for higher after I got this. Its so satisfying.. :D
Might be just a skill issue, but any time I use the cannon 262, the accuracy makes my shells either paint an outline around the target, or I’ll be ridiculously precise on parts I can’t pen. Once I top-downed a Sherman and it hit the top .50, completely eating my shell
Another thing is that this tiger, is 50% better at not getting ammo racked. What I mean is, since the warhead and the casing have to be assembled (hence the long reload) when you take out half the ammo, only half of your tank is covered in ammo. So it is better if you (if I remember right) always engage YOUR right side of the tank, since its empty. Max is 27 or 28 shells. This ALSO catches SO MANY players off guard, since they are used to one-shotting the tiger in the turret from the front, since in the other 2 tigers you have only 1 crew in one side of the turret instead of the 2 this has. Also that 30-40mm of pen literally makes a difference in A LOT of tanks that you face sideways or head-on, since the enemy player is used to the other tigers. It can go through more armor/ more angle much easier than what anyone is used to (T29, T34, T30 all get manlet shot, lower plate shot from bad angles, and side shot from decently angled positions) In the other tigers, no matter what you bring, your turret is a ticking timebomb no matter how you peek.
I remember getting the 105 when they had the old useless round that literally couldn't pen anything as the default. Man the grind was painful til you got the second round which is now the standard. Even the over penetrating solid shot was useless beyond sniping singular crew members. Huge cheeks, angular armor was useless against CHEATFS (before it was nerfed), 10+ second reload even with max crew... But yeah, if you penetrate with a round nothing survives unless its that Swedish STRV or whatever with the engine in the front.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TIGER IN WAR THUNDER?!

Tiger 2 p because it has lower repair cost lol
Baby Tiger :)
Sherman
Tiger H1 because its awesome when angled. I've even bounced long 88s when angled.

@@boomboomyourdoomdoom1767 Maus*
@@Dymolius sorry it’s does that corrects it
Every time i see a video like this, be it War Thunder or WoT, I have a hankering to start playing again - been playing ground forces since it arrived. However.........I can't help but remember all the pain over the years as a solo pleb who's not particularly great.
The Tiger tanks were more effective at destroying allied morale than allied tanks
I’ve been playing war thunder off and on since before tanks were in the game. During one of my breaks they removed this and when I came back I was pissed to not see it anymore in the tree and sadly I had only unlocked the first tigers at that time. Really disappointed that I missed out on this tank as it and the Panther 2 were the two German tanks I always wanted the most. I’m so sad I missed these, glad I was able to get the Maus more recently but I would have preferred the 10.5 or Panther 2
Can you play the ARL 44? I honestly don't think it's a good tank and want to know your opinion on it.
it's a tank that requires you to use your brain, I understand that it's not easy for everyone !
@@Kyanba I get aces in it often doesn't mean I have to like it 😉
@@YourBasicPatriot you said you think it's not a good tank, not that you don't like it!
@@Kyanba I don't like it because I don't think it's a good tank🤷♂️
@@YourBasicPatriot both arl are great tanks with good armor and a monster Cannon, I have trouble understanding how it can not be a good tank
Please do this again but with the drone age updates new explosion physics, it’d look beautiful
War Thunder: "The Tiger II is one of the most dangerous tanks to encounter in the game. Proceed with extreme caution if you're against it, and be comfortable if you're allied with it."
Real life: "The Tiger II is---" CRUNCH! ".... now without working transmission."
Last time I was this early, Navarro was still Enclave Territory
"Will my eyes see them," I'm asking my color blind self that every time I decide to fly and the enemy planes are flying low
Man, that KT 105 with 900 hp engine is nimble af!
I wish gaijin would bring this vehicle as well the panther2 for a special event or something
That Steel Foil guy was like me in a full uptier: be sad about full uptier, still top of the team with many kills and 0 deaths, only to then realize the entire rest of the team vanished into oblivion
This is my favorite KT to bring out. It's truly a monster and I can kill anything with it.
You’re forgetting about the secret buff that comes with a bigger gun… a bigger mantlet. Compare the percentage of the turret face covered by the mantlet for the 10.5 vs the 8.8cm tigers. Plus the rangefinder can sometimes save your bacon by eating some shrapnel. Also I never noticed issues with the shells disappearing into overlapping plates and whatnot. The 105mm is definitely my favorite tiger. Also, aside from the gun and tracks, I’m pretty sure you are immune to the US 76mm guns and 90mm M82 rounds from the front. With a bit of an angle I think you can even cheese US 90mm apcr.
I always loved your voice/accent it really goes well with the content
I miss this tank, had it on my old account that got hacked and banned, this thing was a monster for grinding
I bought a warthunder account just to be able to enjoy this cat, but what i wasn't noticing is the repair cost of this thing 17k!. i can confirm to you that I hit the zero multiple times because of it💔
I got a triple ace in the Tiger II 105 once before, might have actually done it more than once, but man, when its good, ITS GOOD. Haven't played that beast in forever though, but I spaded it quite quickly when I first got it.
The intro with that epic music could be the trailer to some movie set in an alternate reality where germany is the good guys and the protagonist has to hold an entire zone against swarms of USSR tanks
For those wondering about the intro song, the name is: Last March of Heros
Awesome video! Best match ever on factory! Really nice to watch! Just to clarify I'm entertained 😎😎
i find it interesting how people complain about German tanks like the Panther II and Tiger 105 but they don't complain about Centurions going against WW2 tanks or any other post war tank going against WW2.
Those are the same people who say the AVRE with era armor at 7.0 is balanced
Yeah this game puts you almost always to up tier. So when jumbo gets 6.7 just remember tiger 2s get 7.7 and 7.3 most of the matches
Such a juicy thick video, thanks OddBawZ!
"I'm just yelling a lot" what? a shouty Scotsman? Imagine my surprise ;)
Yes! Finally! I havent started watching, but after 11 hours of work, take away at my hotel, and I see this... My Fav tank, I use this every time I play WarThunder. 105, Panther II, Jagdtiger and wirvel. Cost? Booi, way too exensive when we often get into 7,7 games... But still, I love playing this tank... I stopped grinding for higher after I got this. Its so satisfying.. :D
Approx a year later and I've just remembered I stopped researching the 105mm tiger for the Maus. I'll have to finish it off
omg, this thing slaps - it's so tough to kill! One of the best tanks at this BR. Especially for long range engagements
Watching your videos helps with my positioning, much appreciated
The intro music and casual one-shots made me think "Execute Order 66"
Might be just a skill issue, but any time I use the cannon 262, the accuracy makes my shells either paint an outline around the target, or I’ll be ridiculously precise on parts I can’t pen. Once I top-downed a Sherman and it hit the top .50, completely eating my shell
.50s love to magnetize rounds to them. You can shoot a Pershing point blank and the round will be absorbed to the coax 50.
@@Red14998 yup
0:26 Look at that shell wizz past.
Another thing is that this tiger, is 50% better at not getting ammo racked. What I mean is, since the warhead and the casing have to be assembled (hence the long reload) when you take out half the ammo, only half of your tank is covered in ammo. So it is better if you (if I remember right) always engage YOUR right side of the tank, since its empty. Max is 27 or 28 shells.
This ALSO catches SO MANY players off guard, since they are used to one-shotting the tiger in the turret from the front, since in the other 2 tigers you have only 1 crew in one side of the turret instead of the 2 this has.
Also that 30-40mm of pen literally makes a difference in A LOT of tanks that you face sideways or head-on, since the enemy player is used to the other tigers. It can go through more armor/ more angle much easier than what anyone is used to (T29, T34, T30 all get manlet shot, lower plate shot from bad angles, and side shot from decently angled positions)
In the other tigers, no matter what you bring, your turret is a ticking timebomb no matter how you peek.
Its that intro "final boss" music for me. Man i wish i had this tank...
Gotta give it to that last crewman in game 3. Hes driving loading and aiming the gun all at once.
Finally oddbawz plays the KING AMONG KINGTIGERS
Panther 2 had a few prototypes made, should still be in the game. It head more heavily armoured than the original panther, and kept the long 75.
This intro is some classic OddBawZ shit and I love it!
He’s back !!!!!!!!
I remember getting the 105 when they had the old useless round that literally couldn't pen anything as the default. Man the grind was painful til you got the second round which is now the standard.
Even the over penetrating solid shot was useless beyond sniping singular crew members.
Huge cheeks, angular armor was useless against CHEATFS (before it was nerfed), 10+ second reload even with max crew...
But yeah, if you penetrate with a round nothing survives unless its that Swedish STRV or whatever with the engine in the front.
Put a talisman on this thing many years ago. Still my favorite WW2 tank in War Thunder
OddBawz in top tech WW2 german machinery. This will be sweet!
Due to the proliferation of heatfs, heavy vehicles are virtually redundant at any BR where heatfs exists.
Yea like I want to be a heavy tank and get put in a br where no tank can pen me
@@Jugggernaawwt that's what is called a "straw man" argument.
Odd is baaaaack!
