    I’ll forever be surprised how you don’t have more subscribers your videos are amazing but on a side note I never really manage to catch streams so I love your videos. On another side note if you ever run out of video ideas I’d say try the M1A1 Abrams, with all the turms and modernas it gets sucked down to fight all the T-72s a lot and with its 480mm of pen it’s really satisfying going through their front plate

    Your Gal Batash video made me check out the Israeli tech tree and it's totally been a fun grind. In your opinion, are the Mk. 4's still worth the grind as the patch has played out?
    Also, the audio sounds fine to me. I hope you have a nice move!

    You should totally do a video on the XM-1Chrysler, it's basically the GM version but better in every way, AND a lower BR. I understand it's hard to get due to being an Xbox exclusive, but if you ever need a spare account that has one...

    This is essentially the MK.2 the Americas have which is at 9.0 but at a better BR, Like someone said below how is this even fair when the Chieftains are in the same BR as this like this has better mobility, Thermal, LWR/LRF and is even better protected that the chieftains and it also get a good weapon for the BR
