Oxy's videos: GET IT - This guy is full of knowledge, I can't think of any reason you shouldn't get it. For what he is, he's one of the best in the game.
Cant agree more! No doubt about it
Even OddBawZ gets his tips from Oxy
Affirmative!
pro gamer alert
@@vishalbhat8602 Oxy was one of the kindest people to me when I first started playing. Never forgetti.
I just really enjoy the narrative and info even AFTER unlocking prior tanks mentioned, just good content
Sometimes makes tanks I thought were bad seem good and good to bad.
Currently struggling at BR 7.3. Can't wait for his future videos to see what I'm doing wrong.
@@alinbogdan8251 I hate US 6.7
I watched all his series twice even though I play Russia 5.0 and Italy 2.7
Oh you're a Sherman fan, name every Sherman variant
Sherman
Your not wrong
@@asiftalpur3758 that's on him, he set the bar too low
@@zhangmiya1533 was waiting for this
@@asiftalpur3758 that counts since they technically called all variants Sherman
"Low cariber HE have basically no meaningful applications"
Its really satysfying against M10 since now its getting one-hit overpressured to oblivion by anything more than an autocannon.
BTW great video
yeah, especially since the M-10 is probably the most heavily armored open top TD that exists.
seriously it eats up anything short of a long barreled panzer 4 if you don't aim carefully, so i switch to HEAT or HE if i see one
Shooting the top of an m10 with some 50mm HE was one of the highlights of my life
My M10 will die due to artillery tickling my tracks from 5 meters away, but open top Soviet trucks seem to do just fine in the same situation.
@@kevinb2 "Russian Bias doesn't exist"
Hehe, my 12cm chi ha short gun goes boom.
28:00 this whole engagement shows the average random teammate in warthunder
I've died far too often because randoms didn't watch flanks...
what exactly do you expect from someone with 15 matches in this game?
I love how in the first M4a1 clip theres a Sherman, your Sherman, the Italian Sherman and a Chinese Sherman all in the killfeed.
Sherman Sherman Sherman Sherman Sherman. Gonna be seeing them a LOT!
3.7 currently is just Sherman Simulator 1944
@@an_f-14_tomcat which transitions wonderfully into Tiger Hunter Simulator at 5.3.
27:35 - 28:40 I didn't pay attention to anything you said, It literally looked like two kids having a fist fight and others are just minding their own business 🤣
lmao me too, i actually went to that time stamp thinking id be able to pay attention, nope nothing. all i heard was something about hulls and turrets.
2.7 sherman still the only one with the smoke mortar which was standard on all Shermans... Still missing on most shermans.
Imagine if America players were like German players - smokes everywhere, no sightlines. I think the game overall is better for not having it.
@@jasonisbored6679 b-but muh realism???
@@danielsteger8456 lol yeah
/33% chance your Sherman has no radios- sounds good?
@@jasonisbored6679 i was making fun of the WT kids who think realism is life
The fuckin German Sherman has smoke grenades. Gotta love em
28:00 is so painful to watch teammates are so clueless at times
It has hilarious when the T50 casualy drove past them and didnt even notice lmao.
1945 visualised
American teammates are quite possibly tied with German teammates for the dumbest in the game.
@@FubukiKai But only when they're on your team. When they're on the enemy team, they're all Patton or Rommel reincarnated.
@@FubukiKai nah id put american teammates as stupider than german teammates. just like real life.
it finally arrives, i'm gonna race this series to top tier
Good luck with that my friend , I’ll tell ya from experience 6.7-8.0 American armour is weird and inconsistent. Can still be fun tho. GLHF
@@07legod no lie there man, non stabilized heavy tanks that get clubbed by early atgms and heatfs rounds, right next to go-karts that have zero armor and a gun that launches the vehicle it’s mounted to further than the actual projectile.
Lmao I grinded out Russia Top-tier waiting for his Tier VI-VII video
@@07legod those american heavy tanks are monsters
@@07legod 7.3 is a joy
I love these videos Oxy. I have re-watched a few of them. I can't wait till you get to the M3A3. I was in a Bradley Battalion in real life and I enjoy it in game.
I was in a Stryker unit wish war thunder showed how many times u pip a tire going over a smooth rock lol
Wow! What was it like? I'm curious now.
@@ancientmonkey5327 horrible there is a reason they are being retired there's better vehicles with better armor that are wayyy more reliable than strykers the only nice.thing about.them is they have AC where as Bradley's dont
My favorite part about the lee is that people often forget about your hull gunner and will just keep shooting turret
if a player is shooting the turret they dont know what theyre doing. most people shoot to the right of the hull gunner
Omg everyone stay calm its happening!
42:25
Gaijin just recently confirmed the M10 is the slowest traverse of any ground vehicle. In one of their videos a comment asked for the slowest raverse and they said the M2 Medium and I think an early variant of the Pz IV. They said "[If we widen the scope the M10 is the slowest]"
For the Lee, it's best to take advantage of binding the "select primary" and "select secondary" weapons so you can individually aim the two guns
Rip console players
True but personally it's easier to keep it on the same axis and adjust slightly for the 75 when I want to fire it.
@@BoleDaPoleI do it on console. Down on d pad does the little gun and clicking right stick switches me to muh big gun
Oxy's review and analysis series is as good as it gets reguarding informative war thunder content
*You make it sound like Oxy has limits*
Even after having pretty everything unlocked for every nation, I'm still looking forward to these videos, they're just really well crafted and the narration is simply outstanding!
Burger time
VIVE LA 2 BLUE DISCORD ROLES
42:00 t34 driver hatch working properly
The wait is definitely worth it. These videos really put a smile on my face when I see them in my subscribed feed. These videos really help me make lineups too. Great vid OXY.
I wouldn't worry about the timespan of these videos. They are very eunique and well worth the wait.
I always stood by the Sherman tanks even back when the T34s were bouncing everything back around the start of ground forces. I love every single one, even the M4A3 76 at 5.7 with it's upgraded engine and APCR. Often I find myself going on long kill streaks on all of them.
Man, these videos make me so happy when I see them in my feed. Always superb, always thoughtful. Thank you so much for your dedication to this series, fantastic work (:
These videos are always a treat when they come out. Your knowledge and genuine interest shines through even when talking about the vehicles that aren't exactly good. Don't ever rush these videos or feel like you have to make them, and know we appreciate the time and effort you put in.
Very much appreciate this series - ty for your efforts.
Looking forward already to the next one!
(Even listened to the ramble at the end!)
Thanks for taking the time to make this, I really do love this series
53:39 "Hey bro i shot you but it was a joke let's team up"
"Oh okay let's go"
"SIKE!"
I sincerely thought that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship..
Thank you for these videos as they are very informative and in depth. Really enjoy your work, so again, thanks for all you do!
Man, these videos are about always 1 hour +… yet they never feel that long when you watch. Goes to show how good they really are.
Finally I can’t wait for the Rank IV video since I am grinding it now. Thanks for your content you don’t Upload often but when you do it’s always a Great Video.
The way you slapped those planes out of the sky with the zis LVT, so casually, almost carefree... that was just downright dirty
Oxy deserves more subs. For what he does and how good he s at this game.
I came back to rewatch this video and have to say this: The M4A3(105) is one of the most fun tanks in the game, hands down. I’m at 8.0 in the US ground tree, and I sometimes go back to 2.7 to play it. If you play cautiously, you can literally double ace or stay alive the whole game. It’s one of my most used vehicles, and I encourage every new and old player to use it. Definitely worth the money of a Talisman.
I'm completely new to the game, and I have to say that this tank is a monster. I always do well with it.
that Sherman 105 vs Stug brawl was painful to watch. great vid looking forward to the next rank
Thank you for making these videos. It's so helpful for my friends who are just getting into the game
Holy shit, dude. Thank you for adding that note!-- I'd never heard of wax fang, and I'll be binging them for a while.
truly appreciate the effort you put into this mate, im enjoying the game a lot more since watching these.
Hey Oxy!
I'm so happy to see you uploading again, and I enjoyed this video as always.
One thing that I think you should mention about the American vehicles (and I forget if you mentioned it in part 1 or not) is pretty much most of their access to the .50 caliber machine gun, being one of the best machine guns in game!
It has saved my life more than a few times, and I feel like it's worth mentioning.
Thank you so much for your video and I look forward to the next one!
Also, would it be worth mentioning at the start of a vehicle segment that the vehicle is in multiple trees as a lot of the Sherman's are?
Oxy delivers! \o/ I can listen to these videos so many times, even if i don't play this BR much, there is always some knowledge to be found in Oxy's guides.
Hey Oxy, just wanted to say this video is brilliant as always. Absolutely love the content. Top notch. Hope all is well.
Thank you for the amazing video Oxy! These videos are informative, but also very nice to listen to. Don’t worry about how long it takes to make these videos though, it’s completely understandable. Take your time, make em right.
The best review/educational war thunder channel on youtube!
Honestly, the M10 really is just dependable, despite it's drawbacks. I ended up actually using it up to until I got the M36, as I really didn't like the M18 and opted to go back to the M10 for my TD slot. Same can be said for the Achilles in the British line up, there's just something about the vehicle that make it so dependable no matter the BR
My personal theory is it keeps you in check. The turret traverse reminds you not to push too hard and this lets you get good defensive or at least not rushing gameplay. Also, 76mm go brrr lol
@@an_f-14_tomcat also m10 has better scope
I can't believe they upped the M5A1 to 2.7. Well there goes my 2.3 double Stuart lineup
M5A1 is as strong as T50 tovarisch)))
for playing the 3.7 with 2 shermans and the chaffe lineup quite extensively, the most effective way to kill a KV-1 is to shoot its gun. You sometimes can mistake a KV-1 L11 with a KV-1 ZiS 5, that have 90mm of thickness instead of the 75mm on the L11. When 75mm flat is very much do able for the M3 gun, 90mm is usually a no go as even the slightest angle will get you out of the penetration range.
I usually kill the gun (or just under it, the breech that is quite exposed on those things) and then rush it to shoot the driver port at point blank range. If the KV 1 is further away, well then the best you can do is generally hide your hull and your turret cheeks if you play the M4A1 and shoot the guns and tracks to allow your team mates with more powerful anti tank guns like the M10 or the Achilles to shoot him down. If you have the M4, you're generally immune to KV 1s at range anyway
Thanks for this analysis! Very helpful to finalise my lineup. Big chunks of silver lions disappear with the wrong choice of new tanks!
Don't worry about release schedule as your vids are always worth the wait :) Keep up the great work
This is it, my absolute favorite selection of vehicles in the game. Stuarts and Shermans, supplemented by some unique vehicles like the Chaffee and Wolverine. They're some of the most fun, most consistent, and most versatile tanks to play in the entire game, and yet they still feel balanced and not at all overpowered. Other nations teach you to rely on their tanks' strengths around this tier. The German guns, the Russian armor, and the British mobility. The American lineups are the perfect middle ground and teach you to go into every situation prepared for anything, and how to counter it.
Now if I can just get one of my favorite tanks in history, the 75mm M4A3, I'd be even happier.
Unless they changed it in the past few days or something, it's worth noting that the M5A1 is 2.3 now. I have no clue why, it was really good at 2.7 but it is what it is. Also Gaijin literally forgot to change the BRs of the identical prem and TD stuarts so they're still 2.7.
They changed it back again?
So glad you made a new video loving your content please keep it up (and maybe upload more;) ) keep doing what your doing my man
I RUSHED AS SOON AS I COULD TO SEE THIS. Well done Oxy and hope to see tier 3 for US👍
27:49 he replaced his crew faster than he could reload
Watching you smoke the piss out of that plane with the lvt zis made my day
Ayo been waiting for this
Some of the most helpful vids ever even for a experienced player or some one new keep up the good work
I havent played the game in months but I still watch every video you do.
Great job! I’m excited for the rest of the tree :)
9:14 - The Triple S; Sneaky Shooty Spot.
Usually identified by the fact you grin wide when you get there and get a couple kills without people noticing you.
Best videos I've ever seen this is great
Also, the M8. For those of you who wish to use it, the way you can get around the issue of aiming the gun at range is using the sight ranger. It's a setting you use to bind the mouse wheel to in the ground vehicle options. You can engage and kill at 1km if you use that sight ranger to range the gun into the target. The only issue is it does take some getting used to. But if you already know the range, it is as simple and scrolling to said range and pulling the trigger.
tHANK YOU for sharing your unparallel experienced
I love how all optic ports absorb any shells in this game
Excellent videos. Actually outstanding in war thunder youtube. Informative, interesting, good gameplay. Loved it thanks.
I was looking forward to this. So this was quite a surprise.
have looked so much forward to this video :D
that aircraft double kill was amazing with the goofy Zis LVT
Unlocked the 105 sherman last week, it's a monster, haven't had this much fun since I unlocked my tigers
Love the M10, I like big guns and I cannot lie (great video, very helpful)
When you started with the first USA video, I also started playing USA in War Thunder and In thought when you drop your next video I will be Rank II and the Videos could guide me through the tree... now I am Rank V, but at the end the grind will be so slow that you can still catch up:)
the length of time it took for me to subscribe to thus man is remarkably short
Having dropped down from 8.7br to 2.7br, I'm finding my M4A3 (105) to be way too powerful. Surely it could stand going up to 3.0br. Unless that's just because I have an almost maxed-out crew that compensates a tiny bit for its dire turret rotation. And I can imagine it's the kind of tank that less experienced players might die fast in. For me, it plays (against its peers) like an even more survivable Jumbo. I like your pointing about keeping the gun roughly forward. The M3 Lee is such a charming tank - I love it. It looks like a rusty old diving machine.
one thing about the M10's gun. it is the M7 3 inch gun as opposed to the 76 AT guns from late war. The reason for this is its actually an artillery's cannon pressed into AT roll, hence it is heavy and required quite the counterweight. while 3" = 76mm, the later 76 guns were tanks guns first and formost, hence why this is the M7 3" and sherman's got the lighter M1 76mm.
How ever long it takes between vids does not matter. I will always watch!
I’ve played the M5 as my mainstay for years . I didn’t notice for a long time they moved it up from 2.3 that kinda pissed me off once i realized this. The HE she’ll actually came in use for me as there seems to be more open spgs now than when I first started playing. Example sneak up behind one those Japanese naval guns shoot the engine then lob a He shell into cab. Yes you could use your machine guns but that also will give your position away.
Glad to see you going through aircraft too!
I've found with the M8 that you should lead with the 50 cal rather than the main gun unless you know it can't go through. If you slew round a corner and fire the .50 you can take out gunner and driver before finishing the enemy off with the 75mm if needed.
Yooooo oxy these videos absolutely make my week :)))
Another great vid - just gonna call out you're great use of camouflage and decals.
That M24 got some sick neutral track turning as well. Almost as fast as the turret speed
Welcome backk
Loved the interstellar reference lol. Cmon TARS. COME ON TARRRS
I absolutely cruised through the M15 aa research tree, I had spaded the YAG-29 before so I understood how to fight tanks with very low armor and also fighting your own deadzones
The King has uploaded!
I missed you thx for coming back you should up date your old videos
Personally I'd add to the Sherman's cons the poor hull traverse. But maybe that just grinds my gears...
You can swing it pretty well on 2nd gear(fowrard a bit then pivot)
@@aleksanderf4672 it may not be an option if you are moving up a hill and decide to turn (for example if it's too steep). You can't turn with any reasonable speed, you can't move forward and you have to back down really slowly
True, especially stock. That can be quite frustrating on maps like Castle and Kuban.
11:20 Lies this is extremely high IQ gameplay. Gotta bop while you blap.
I just love the decals and skins of the tanks throughout the series, they just look sexy
With great firepower comes poor survivability
Those Interstellar references tho...had me laughing!
Despite already aced all rank 2 American vehicles Oxy’s videos are so interesting and so informative for new players
designer, engineer, company: Develops literally anything for the military
Military: QUICK CALL IT THE M1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome wideo as always.
The cult of the M8 is always accepting new members. All hail the stubby one!
The return of the king
back when the M5 was 2.3, I played it like a heavy tank and rarely ever got punished. Most fun tank in the game.
Wuuuuhuhuuuuuu finally mate you are awesome !!!
Hey, do you know if for the 2.7 lineup if the P-40F-10 is a good replacement for the F4U-1A?
I love it when Oxy makes an US video because the meta charges for a week and I just farm SL with my German line
Love this series can’t wait for rank 3
The reason the m3's 75 cannon has slightly lower pen is because the barrel is slightly shorter than a Chaffee or sherman. This was because armored corps or something didn't want the gun to stick out furthered then the most forward part of the tank ie the tracks. That funny looking muzzle brake also isn't a muzzle brake. It's a counterweight so the stabilizer can work correctly lol
