1.) You can bounce stuff sometimes
2.) Turret traverse is awful
3.) Guns work
Clever profile pic
U have the best profile pic
The traverse isn't as awful as the tretarch's traverse, at least. You can go make a sandwich in the time it takes the tretarch to shift 10 degrees to the left

'And The Gunner Bless him' that got me laughing
I've got almost all of them already but I'll be watching the whole series nonetheless
Same. I love the German tech tree, and even though I'm already up to 4.0, I intend to pay attention to any and all advice for all tiers.
Your naiveté is palpable. You won't enjoy anything past 6.7
@@SoftyWalterGames Oh, I'm well aware of the problems associated with certain BRs of every nation, but that won't stop me from at least trying to play my favorite tanks from history, King Tiger included.
I'll be honest the Panthers are the most fun next to the tigers, but once you get to the tiger 2 h it doesn't get any more fun, probably a better option to play American or Russian after you reach 6.7 germany
@@ODST_Parker If you are careful with angling and take a more passive play, the tiger 2s can reck, the 105 yeet cannon especially. Crew skills are a lifesaver too. Also, playing 7.3/7.7 you will get uptiered much less in my exp. then 6.7 purgatory.
Just one thing to note, DAK stands for 'Deutsches Afrikakorps' (German Africa Corps) not 'Desert AfrikaKorps'
Nah, it stands for "daka daka daka daka daka daka daka daka daka daka daka daka"

Am i the only one who sees that during this video this man has committed T - 26 and T - 26 - 4 genocide?
I got a sponsorship and its RAID SHA....
*skips 60 seconds ahead*
Where's the link?
Nonononono
No no no. The squeezy boi has another redeeming quality. Its hilarious to play
It can kill the 1939 kv2 from the front
Oh dear god, you absolute madman. This is a lot of work. Thank you for your efforts.
Unpopular opinion but I love the long Oxy videos
You are not alone
I found the 38t f is amazing as long as I. Angled I'm like a tiger but smaller
That's by far my most favorite Tank^^ it has good amor their bounces moar than it should if angling it has a gun with just the right pen and it has a decent mobility :)
I personally love these long videos!
(still sad that it's gonna be a long wait until you cover the Japan tree) :P
And then he will cover the whole tech tree in a single 10min video because the tech tree is so small ;)
You know, I hope someone will see this and agree, but I got really sad during War Thunder's penetration update when they took away the Pz. 35(t), and both Pz. 38(t)'s APCBC round and replaced it with the tracer-less, but crappier APC round. I used to destroy with those rounds, especially in matches where I was top tier in the Pz. 38(t) F.
Russia hates the Czechs.
This guy is so calming to listen too he doesn’t shout in my ear about raid shadow legends and doesn’t make any jokes he just talking about tanks and I love it
42:36 A bit of a nitpick, but its Deutsche Afrika Korps (German Africa Corp) not Desert Africa Corp XD
They were German, not Dutch.

elink1 I... don’t think you know that Deutsche means ‘German’ in German... right?

@@gazlink1 woops
40:00 I love this tank, I normally never get more that two kills before dying, but when I played the Stug III A, I got 6 KILLS in a row, by camping a small cliff face. I love it.
The Neubfahrzeug is a beast in arcade. I have my controls set up so I can use a macro on the mouse to switch between the main guns and by doing so, can effectively fire every 1 and a half seconds. The 37 is a bit better at range and the 75 with APHE is unstoppable. Additionally, while the two machine gun turrets are virtually useless, they essentially provide 2 bonus crew members to replace downed crew members with. Despite its size its still classified as a medium tank, so when doing well in a match, you will be raining arty down on the enemy, which all have poor armor at this tier. While the armor is poor, there is lots of room in the tank so many solid AP rounds pass through doing minimal damage. Also of note is that it one of the only tanks in the German tech tree that have the transmission mounted in the rear, meaning that you aren't immediately disabled if shot in the lower hull.
Those books look amazing
I just love how you used the bushes to camo your tanks in a realistic and thus decorative way instead of just blatantly using it to maximum effect to hide weakspots or break the shape completely and try to emulate a driving bush.
I remember when I was new to the game I was always confuesed as to how playing the pz.III would always result in death but I would dominate with the pz. II DAK after a while I accepted that I was just better with the "obselete" tank
I go through the whole german gf tree already. And i still watching this video. I realized i missed so many stuffs. Bravo Oxy for the exceptionally good video
Arriving home after a long day and seeing this 53 minute video really made my evening. I've spaded all of these rank I vehicles already but it's still very interesting to watch through these videos, and perhaps pick up a few pointers while at it.
I think this is the only time ive actualy used a youtuber sponsorship and been absolutely satisfied with the product, vey good choice by their marketing team they knew exactly who to target lmao
Oxy, thank you so much for starting German tank series! Keep it up, love from Slovenia! 🇸🇮❤
>38(t) A
>consider it
The best 1.3 German tank and only "consider it"?!?
i personally would prefer the Pz2F or Flakpanzer 1 on 1.3, or just take the Pz2C for a full belt of HVAP, 38tA is a good tank, but completely outshine by the autocannon HVAP
I went back and played the 38(t) tanks since I was wanting to play low tier to get a few of the optional tanks I missed. I remember hating the 38(t)'s, but when I went back and played them... I fucking STOMPED. The reload and firepower is good, the armor is really troll-ish too somehow.
@Mialisus You when the allies get into planes? delet'd.
Panzer 35s and 38s are op as fuck. Not only are you hard to hit but good fucking luck knocking me out in one shot lol. And the gun and fantastic but the machine guns leave more to be desired

Great video! Very informative! As a newer player I love the CAS and lineup recommendations at the end of the video.
I've seen serveral Oxygen Thiefs recently.
But you are still my favorite.
Even though I've grinded through these vehicles I love low tier RB. Your vids help me tweek my play style for greater efficiency. Thank you Oxy.
Following you since your review to the tier one italian tanks and i must say i love your advices. Keep it up, you're making some good stuff
All good, but don't say "stoog", say Stug. Stug of the dump. Sturmgeshutze. Say Shtug if you have to, but "stoog" sounds like a baddie in a gangster film.
Your guides are some of the best WT content on RUclips. Keep it up! Well earned sub!
So glad to see a new video. I have missed your videos. Thanks for your hard work.
Great video as always.
I also like the fact that you record at high bit rates so the picture quality is outstanding.
Omg! Thank you! A useful sponsor!
Excellent video, thank you very much! A consistent overview with a lot of advice... really awesome!
Something I maybe would have appreciated: A small image of the tech tree where the current tank is highlighted. That way, I (as a noob) would have developed a bit better feeling what that tank is and what role it has in the tree.
Yes! Finally a detailed review on the best nation in War Thunder. Thank you.
I love it when he says get it
Thank you for making these. I've been watching War Tinder vids for a few years but only now starting to play. Super helpful to know which tanks are worth it
Nice one man.. keep climbing the ranks .. and keep pumping out reviews
With the rework of it's gun recently, the the APIT belt on the He 112 A-0 makes it a much better ground pounder than basically any bomber you're going to find at its tier. That is also a very maneuverable fighter at the right speed is very helpful, too.
I always look forward to these.
52 minutes? Hell yeah!
50:11 did that bomb just freak out after it got dropped
Meessa am a missile!
G'day mate. I'm just about to watch this vid, just watched about 8 minutes of your latest vid on the Yank tech tree. Impressive. I thought I'd stop and take the time to tell you that. I think I may still be playing War Thunder if I'd known just 5 minutes of what you taught on your American tech tree vid. I'm looking forward to see what you will teach this old gamer, on this game that is so dam frustrating to learn to master. You've got yourself another subscriber as I believe that dedication, passion and hard work has it's rewards. God bless!
im loving the big guns, great vid
Fantastic video! Thanks a lot for the information, it is very helpful and informative.
Hum, I can't really fault any of the things you said.
And heck, I even learned something new about the 38 (t), never noticed its rounds being stealth before.
Really great video! Thanks for the time spent on it. :)
Absolute
Note the 234 series of armored car was time wise produced in the same tier as the Panther A and G. No idea why they are in the low tier.
Because the BR isn't about when they were made but rather where they fit in with the others.
@@handtomouth4690Not really. There weren't a lot of Pak 40 7.5cm L46 anti-tank guns around when all of the other vehicles (or most of - the 234/2 with a 50L60 gun for one is also not early war) were around. The ONLY reason is doesn't over-power the Level I and II vehicles is because these two vehicles are based on an armored car chassis with light armor. The armor is in balance with the BR. The guns aren't.
I kinda disagree. Bcz i Play beat with Pz e. It has Good speed and good armor too if u play it. I Grinded all my Tanks with pze. as for the Traverse for Cannon. He is right. But Thats the only Bad thing. It has A good armor idk why he said bad. I never got killed before getting shot 3 times.
You sir are amazing, i am new to the game and not always you will find someone talking about vehicles from the first rank
*Panzerlied intensifies*
Been reading Schiffer books for a while now, excellent stuff.
Finally. You make us wait a lot oxy :)
Im happy to see that you are using the German emblems and decals.
Oooohhh that's gonna be a long o è, can't wait to see the others too
Aw my four wheeled german Squeezy boi!
really good video! can't wait for Tier III & IV
it cannot be overstated how good the stugs are, if you play your cards right and stay at a comfy range, you will absorb an absurd amount of firepower, and be able to dish out consistent killshots. get good at the stug and it will pay dividends
Ok the sponsor is actually very interesting I might check it out, thanks for the vid.
I love the Pz, 38(t) F, it's a good all-rounder and can especially hold its own at range. I like it more than you do, for sure.
“Before we continue I have a spo-“
**taps the right side of the screen several times**
Love the series, keep it up
Thanks for making another great video!
Great video 👍
Man i play warthunder since 2013 but i still enjoy your videos!!!
I’m glad to hear that both the tanks I use are hot garbage, from now on I will blame my tank for my failures
First sponsorship I've ever been interested in
I just want to get this out of the way for the series. In terms of German tank destroyers I play them like a lunatic. And that usually gets surprising results.
I love playing the 38 (t) A because it was one of the main tanks germans used when invading france, but also cause it was designed in the country i live in as the LT vz. 38 (light tank model 38), which germans put into production in the factories here and used it in quite high numbers druing the early phase of the war
I can watch these all day
Great video many thanks
Looking forward to this kind of series on the Swedish Tech Tree eventually
well, havent tried your recommendations yet, but for if they work, thsi is the best tutorial I found by far! (Only one that comes close is one about ammunition)
Merry Christmas Oxy...Greatings from Germany!!! ^^
The 15cm sig sfl seems to have changed quite a lot, it’s now at 1.7, the shell speed is much higher, reload is slightly faster, and it still derps everything that doesn’t have spaced armor.
Gj dude, more videos like this pls
That first clip with the "tank destroyer" is my entire WT experience with the British tree. Non pen and no internal damage.
Oh man, I'm at rank lV of France and Germany now... Even though, I'm waiting for this video for some reason. 👌 (*I love your vids*)
Great sponcer! thanks
Great tutorial, solid suggestions. Thank you! Low tier = best tier!
Great video
Hell yeah new video
Can't wait for Rank II and see my beautiful Herman the German Sherman
the moment you started to say "raid shadowlegends" i got a heartattack. love ya
Nothing wrong with a long video, all the better even.
These videos are therapeutic
I am glad I'm not the only one throwing the decal from the Karl Galster on everyhting haha
Omg its finally here
just started playing war thunder these videos help a lot

The HEAT round on that tank actually have more *long* range pen then the panzer 4 F2 does.
At medium and short range it's of course outclassed by the F2 variant.
If the target is stationary then just use the range finder and adjust the sights and you're a better superlong range sniper then short range brawler given that your HEAT rounds can reliably pen stuff that can't pen you back (we're talking 2 km distance kind of things, not that you'll get many chances to fire that far away on WT maps).
the short 75 muzzle velocity makes it essentially impossible to hit anything at that range. yeah HEAT is nice for long range but you actually gotta hit the shot. id say the F2 is a far more potent sniper in that regard as you have enough pen and a flat shooting trajectory.
@@Yung_pindakaas Nah, the velocity is just fine as long as the enemy is stationary (for instance tunnel visioning while aiming at a team mate).
You just adjust the sight so the middle of the scope is aimed further away.
I've had several kills in the panzer 4 F1 on Kursk and Mozdok at essentially the other side of the map, from one ridge to the ridge on the opposite side of the map.
The slow velocity also means that the round comes down from essentially above so they don't really see it comming, and since it's comming down from above it also lands on the less armored parts of the tank like the roof...
Don't get me wrong, it's not *easy* but you can get accurate measurements of distances up to 1,5 km away with the rang finder and past that you can use experience to judge distances to hit pretty close, and then zero in on them.
When they're snipping they tend to tunnel vision at this br anyway, so you can usually get 4-5 shots down landing right next to them before they notice that you're even shooting at them...
the squeezy boi is amazing, it's very accurate, good penetration, you just need to snipe the vital spots with it like any solid shot round.
The sturmpanzer II is better at fighting top tiers than it’s own.
Also the 35 and 38 have better armor than you give them credit for. It’s a case of ‘just enough’ in every way. Firepower is *just enough* to deal with most targets. the mobility is *just enough* to keep up with the flow of battle. The armor is *just enough* to get lucky.
These long video's are great! Big thumbs up.
Looking forward to Russian tier II
So, an advanced tactic that you should mention with all multiple-cannon vehicles is setting keys to swap between the different guns (Nbfz, M3 Lee, etc). Not only does it mitigate the difference in round velocity, but I have -on multiple times- baited people out of corners by shooting one gun. Once they came out around the corner, I hit them hard with the other.
