To be fair it's way more common in beginner tiers than in higher ones, on some tanks you can take full ammo load and use it as makeshift add-on armor (tho it can still be detonated, just way lower chances of that happening)
Yesterday, a leak list came out that had what was called the Panzer6B on it, and I know what it is. It's the Tiger II P that Sweden got post-WWII for evaluation on how to make their Army better. If that list is true, Sweden will have it's first heavy tank in the game.
Probably not. Like look at the Kranwagan, it has full blueprints made but gaijin didn't add it....yet they have tanks like ostwind/wirblwind, the funny pancake russian tank, Ho ri production/prototype and a lot of other stuff that didn't exist but still added. I'm starting to think gaijin really doens't want to give Sweden a heavy tank
15:25 Can we just take a moment to acknowledge the fact that even tho Spooks alone managed to rack in 15 kills and 5 assists, his team still managed to fumble the match? That's basically WT summarized in a single frame. Also vehicle suggestion for a future video: RakJPz 2 (HOT), it's very gremliny with 20 ATGM's with 700mm of penetration and can easily shoot tanks while fully behind cover
Spookston: "I wish I didn't get so many uptiers". The Gaijin representative dispatched to his house, looking him directly in the eye: "Absolutely fucking not".
11:33 The reason that detonated the ammorack was either previous damage (which can happen to M4s when the shell pens but then has basically no energy left so the ammo eats it and the shrapnel, causing it to turn yellow/orange/red) or from RNG which is more likely. That ammo was on the other side of the tank so not much of the shrapnel got to it. Usually it requires the shell and the shrapnel from the armor to hit the ammo to kill it like with the Bofors Crusader at 15:13
7:40 bro same, when i want a break from grinding i just go to sweden and play 1.7, which includes the BT-42, Spj fm/43-44, Ikv 72(which gets the same APHE round as the Strv m/42 EH btw), and the Pvlvv AA thingy
3:07 One of the reasons there's so many inconsistencies in the damage models, visuals, etc between tanks is that every single vehicle in the game is modelled, textured, hitboxed, and rigged by outsourced solo freelancers. Gaijin obviously wants the submitted vehicles to conform to certain standards but overall they don't seem to care too much about consistency.
Fun fact: you can kill things like the kv2 and T-44 in the strv m/1 s-1 If you hit the back of the turret on the T-44 you can explode its ammo, and if you aim perfectly you can take out all of the kv-2 crew
"Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and i'm homebound" but then again, only the first part and the music after that part i remember the best is it weird i find low-mid tier France to be my comfort tree? their heavy tanks are such a meme, their truck with the 40mm is fun, and ARL is basically a French KV1 I have a theory that solid shots work better if you shoot at the most armored part, because they produce the most spall which wrecks and kills anything.... i remember firing a 17 pdr at the most armored part of the KV1, and it died in 2 hits
@shahramtondkarmobarakie1824 Russia gets all the heat because they have so much stuff that basically doesn't exist in the game. Such as tanks with features they don't actually have. They also have gotten almost every gap filled while other nations don't. Though also Sweden doesn't get as much as they don't have the playerbase like the Big 3 have. Which some of their vehicles are ludicrously powerful while others are just sad. It's a 50/50 gamble
A friend absolutely loves low tier sweden and often brings them to higher tiers as a meme and actually manages to perform ok. I've seen him kill centurions and one shot centauros with APHE, I've also seen him snipe planes off the air with the sabot. It's a stupid bunch of vehicles at such a low br and think it would be very fun to see you attempt the nuke thing with these.
Another thing that makes APDS OP at low tier is the velocity of the round. A lot of distances require manual range finding. But APDS usually has half the bullet drop.
This is why Gaijin nerf the APDS is because it seem to OP and now it shoots like a rifle round but doing no damages unless you hit the crew or other components inside the tank. However it's still good too.
2:15 I think you might be able to kill tanks by ramming into them with an airplane in Simulator Battles, but that game mode is a whole another can of worms in many ways, since friendly fire is enabled for everything and not having 3rd person view can actually be quite scary as well.
day 116 : you should try the jagdtiger sometime. it's extremly slow, doesn't have a turret, gets uptiers all the time, and most importantly, you'll have to play with german teams. the very definition of suffering.
That one round where you mentioned how a puma was spotting a lot but not killing, i wonder if that was me. Last weekend or so i had a task to get spotting assists so for a few games I'd sit back in a light tank spamming V on the enemy.
I'm a low tier and I used to play Sweden until like 3.0 I think, at those tiers the APDS started to feel very underpowered. Could very well be skill issue on my part, but I kept getting a lot of non-pens, especially against T-34s and the KV tanks. You are too good man
Here is a challenge: Use the BMP3 but only HE , the round is good enough to overpressure tanks in 9.0, you have lasefinder and fast reload, the only downside is the slow speed of the round.
Swedish tanks don't joke around. I've had so much fun playing low tier back when it was released. Rapid firing SPAA that can used as a tank destroyer and anti-aircraft, high-velocity peashooters that reload just as quickly, and to top it off, the 75mm autoloader with 4 rounds. doesn't matter if they barely have armor if the enemy can't see you first
3:47 The worst part about this "bias" is your ammo count is reduced and x-ray shows ammo turn black but yeah, refuse to explode (happen to me once, hit on right side)
6:25 I think you were getting trolled by volumetric shenanigans on the Turan's driver view port; it's a separate small piece of armour the same thickness as the rest of the upper glacis and it occasionally eats rounds.
The thing at 2:47 is Na-To, Japanese TD. It has paper armor, an open top and bad gun depression. The gun is good. It is a 75 mm gun, equivalent to the STuG III G's L48 in stats. The main ammunition is a plain APHE shell (No cap or ballistic cap added) so its angle performance isn't that good. I suggest you give this "AT gun on tracks" a try.
Another tank that is surprisingly good at taking out much larger tanks is the crusader mk.3, a low profile, speedy tank with an excellent 6 pounder gun, T-34s? KV-1s? Shermans? No problem with this beauty if a British tank
Nice to see this vehicle. I used to request the S-II variant back in the day when I played it. Like the Strv 103A it doesn't matter much that it's regular APDS because the fire rate is so good.
German tank challenge video will be releasing Sunday
goood luck
Play the porshe tiger.
Hope you arent getting cased to much because it will anyway...

inb4 it's a premium
The APDS at 1.0 makes low tier Sweden so fun. Then you get to 3.3 and realize there is absolutely nothing in the tech tree until you hit 5.0
They need to add all the German and soviet ww2 stuff to them then it will be good
bro you have never played sweden 4.3 its one of the most op line ups
but then you get to 5.0 and realise there is nothing until 7.7-8.0
1.7 is so fun too
theres a great lineup with the finnish pz 4 and t34, its a great lineup. add one of the swedish TDs and you have a very capable lineup
R.I.P Gunk, you will truly be missed.

The armor on the ARL is just thick enough to give you false hope of not being penetrated. It is a heavy tank in name only.
