Ive gotten burnt out just because of the same small maps over and over I’ve been playing the game since 2019 The game just isn’t the same The dev needs to Focus on the long term players and vets Not the ones who download the game on a update and buy a premium then after a week delete the game They need to fire who ever they hired that said we will make u money by doing less And reverse everything
Agreed, I haven't played for about 4 months at this point and I tried for the event, but the maps are terrible now, I wish they just brought it back to how it was before and stopped listening to the Reddit whiners who can't learn to play the game
I think you should try the KF41. It is SO MUCH better now than at release. 4 instead of 2 spikes, APS finally works, AHEAD finally works, Spike recently buffed in pen. And it has a better hp/ton value than the Puma.
Still the KF41 has no blow out panels or remote turret or armor and its bigger than a bus so it's still a lot worse than a puma. It's silly that they are at the same BR at least until spikes get good enough to consistently kill mbts
@@prancer8934 The VJTF is better for spikes cause the launcher has adjustable elevation tho the KF is better in almost every other regard. It's faster, it's significantly more responsive, it has a 50 cal, the APS and the fuel tanks behind them love to eat shots and half the vehicle is dead space. You'd be surprised how many times you can bait people into shooting your back half by reversing around a corner with the KF and watching their shot do absolutely nothing since the vehicle past the turret ring is completely empty. They're both over br'd, that said the KF is way better than the Puma overall as someone who owns both and has them spaded
Namer 30 spike missiles for some reason are so accurate. And the new buff for spikes is great. It’s able to to sorta pen a t80bvm-90m upper front plate more efficiently and effectively
for me spikes feel better the bigger the map is. The farther it has to go the better it seems to actually hit and destroy something. I don't know what it is but it feels like it actually does the top down thing better than the hellfires do when you can fire from 1km plus.
@@KwisssM735 in its current state is historically accurate, if you are wishing for it to be fixed nothing will change… I’m not sure where the claims of it be ahistorical came from…
@@theallmightyego6756when it was changed to its current state, the Gaijin staff member who's meant to be an expert on US stuff (or who passes up US stuff to the devs - I forget their exact job) admitted that they were on vacation for a week and that the bug report getting it changed while they were gone and that they were unable to stop it in time, but saying they'd take care of it. I can't speak to the historical accuracy, but that communication stands out in my memory
This may sound dumb but you should play this with some friends on sim battles with a hunter killer team, run this and use your scout drone, gen 3 thermals with squad mark and a few buddies is why I love this thing. Still good to see Italy get some love.
It seems that spikes is heavily affected by your momentum, especially when target is close, missile doesnt have time to adjust to hit accurately where its meant to hit, probably refrain from foring them at high speed
The rate of fire is what makes this things canon so powerfull. No use in the Higher Pen if you dont get your shots out. e.g. the Puma or Vilkas. This thing has 8 Spikes. the Other two have 4.. meanwhile this thing is at a lower BR.. Good for Italy but German IFVs suffer. And all the cuts to big maps, so no or hardly any possible way to flank.. thx a lot Gaijin
Justin you MUST play the m1a2 now, the only abrams that did not get moved up and once was toptier for long, can now face 2a4's, its freaking nuts :D TIP: if youo ever see ANY aort of a t72 frontallyk just shoot its sights, it kills the gunner and u can end the commander by his cupola ( even the t72b3)
You should low key play the M1A2. It didn’t get moved up in BR so it’s still 11.7 so you can fight 2A4s and T80Bs in the M1A2. I would love to see a video on it since it’s been a minute since you have made a video on the M1A2.
This thing is actually kinda decent now but still heavily map dependent. The amount of times I've locked people with the spikes who are almost completely behind cover is crazy
I haven’t played Italy in awhile so I started playing it again at 10.7 for the Boxer. And will say I have noticed the spike is better. Doesn’t lose tracking as easily and hits better. I don’t have the KF41 yet but using it in the test drive even before the buff I noticed its spikes hit weak spots better and do more of a top attack. Also you can shoot closer targets with the Freccias spikes them the KF41. But sucks you only get four spikes with the KF41.
dude, how did you get the breech of that guy with ONE 25mm dart? I can't even breech tanks with a 105mm dart, I either non pen (in the armour analysis it's green) or only make it red. let alone what my 40 or 35mm darts do
@@cuhyotepowered1201 There actually is. Belgium has the T-15 light tank and the T-13 tank destroyer. The Netherlands has the M39 Pantserwagen armored car.
Tried playing it yesterday and can't say they felt buffed. They kept splashing in front of the enemy tank or taking just a truck, whereas when I changed to the soviet tree, I kept getting one shot by spikes launched by Vilkases. I'm just.. Confused. Like how much of a "lol skill issue" can you have with a self guided missile.
Justin, please stop talking about that discount link in every video.. totally understand it but maybe you could skip talking to it in some random videos at least. Great video anyway
noooo you should've waited for its commander thermals, they're still missing (gen 3 btw)
Spikes still in need of a ~20% buff in accuracy.
Also

VBC (PT2) at 9.0 without the missiles. Def worth playing. Going up to 9.3 tho

19:00 rare occasion for driver view
I lost the keyboard bind for it ages ago! Definitely rebinding it now
I have noticed a slight improvement in the spike missiles but they are still more annoying than useful
I like how Justin is the only foreign WT youtuber I know that pronounces Freccia correctly

Play the type 16 fps now that it no longer faces Leo 2s and abrams.

RIP to the Mangusta CBT that got moved up to 11.0, this thing truly shined when paired with the Freccia at 10.3

Justin, congrats on 90k subs my man, it's been such a wonderful journey watching you grow, keep up the good work!
11:07 seems as if the spike only target the heat "center' of the vehicle. Kinda makes sense considering theyre IR guided
I’m with you on hitting stuff while trying to retreat or getting away happens more than I’d like. I die every time with out fail 🤣

Combo video idea: The OF-40 (MTCA) and the F-86K Sabre.
You've got my vote.
hell yeah
Even better idea:
OF-40 (MTCA) and G.91YS / G.91Y
OF-40 and Ariete for anti-CAS
why the MTCA
finally something good for Italy too (they will balance it in two weeks)
at least y'all get plenty of native Italian vehicles

What graphics setting Do you use? Do you use Dlss?
This is my main for Italy, such a great vehicle
should go revisit the m1a1 aim its got a new crew voices apprently from the short testing i did when i finally unlocked it

I need help. Why i cant find the VRCC the italian premium in the game? It got removed or something?
Why is my spike lock binded to rangefinder (R) key? Can't change it
Havent been keeping up with warthunder. The first and second map ,did they add those red areas swore they werent there before?
revisist the finnish t54 and the finnish zsu57-2
Honestly can't wait for the cv9035/45NLMLU
And yet tow missiles are still not fixed. They drop to the ground or fly in some random direction
9.3 is so fun now
I still dont understand why the spike Puma with 4 spikes is 11.0
If there's no WWII vehicles for the Benelux ground sub tree whenever it comes to War Thunder, I'm gonna be super mad.
Yeah, it's gonna suck if the Benelux ground sub three has no WWII vehicles. Because Gaijin really has an addiction to adding top-tier only vehicles.
You’re going to be mad if there’s no more Sherman’s?

A true war thunder player, doesn't trust his team mates with a nuke.
heyyyy hit 90k thats awesome.
Is Italy really worth grinding for?
casually I average around 6 kills per game
but Sweaty is around 9 to 10
keep in mind I always try not to die and i almost never spawn the second time

Got the spikes a buff ?
nice
Spike > 🚁

What the flying fuck are these maps with shrunk borders?!?! Who is this for?

I get avarage 1-3 😭😭😭
Soooooo yeah 😂

Spikes are utter damn useless shit. I hate these stupid things. I could do more dmg with a 75mm HE than Spikes.
8-12 kills a game. also get around 4-5 nukes a day

3-4 kill a game. In air RB, I am playing SAAB 105... It's so freaking bad. Swedish 8.3-9.3 Vs javelin is just horrible. Or maybe I am just trash.
