2:46 small little fact, those "flare pods" actually removes the functionality of the airbrakes on both planes as it blocks the airbrake from extending when the pod is installed
Mine bugged out earlier this day, with the pod it extended the airbreak yet gave the message it was blocked. I used it out of habbit, but didn't know it actually extended untill it was too late lol
Also, Jaguar A receive a massive amount of flares, and the Char 25t received an APHE, making it the only APHE in the french tech tree after the M4A4 at 3.7, or the Panther Dauphine at 5.7 on the premium side
To be precise, the Bat-Chat received the shells from the M26, but fires them at 15% higher velocity. In theory it is still lacking the HEATFS shell one can find on the M46. Before the French armaments industry managed to fully recover in the mid 60s, France made great use of M26, M46 and M47, and thus wanted to make use of its ammuntion reserves with the medium tank Batignolles-Châtillon project.
Funny thing, the Jaguar GR1 was also gonna get flares in the update, but in typical Gaijin fashion they forgot that the GR1 didn't have flares at all irl, so they removed it
@@ihavenocreativity2666 well, in the end, it is the same as the new french jet I can’t remember the name. While the American version has flares in the game, and IRL the french one could have equipped them, as they were never used, they just did not implement them. If I’m correct only the jaguar GR3 had them in the UK Airforce. So only if they add it would the UK’s Jaguar have some
@Brotato I was talking about targeting things you can't see, either dropping arty on tanks in cover or firing like artillery yourself. If you want to drop it directly on a visual target, you can press middle mouse button by default with artillery menu up to enter first person artillery mode (in which you can point and click where to drop it).
g91 has had a nerf where when taking the 4 nords you only get one cannon, me 264 has ratol but it only spawn when you land and repair and when you repair you get spawned in the air AND only 2 rockets appear lit.
some extra pieces of worthless knowledge: the gun in the crusader aa mk 1 has been changed from 40mm bofors to 40mm m2 dual automatic (it actually has been like that for a while the mantlet of basically every British tank from rank 4 have been reworked to volumetric, basically if it resembles a centurion it was changed, (exceptions are the rank 3 comet and some rank 5 mediums) also 3:36 footage is from yesterday’s stream and can be found at 1:49:30
It got it’s reload un-nerfed tbh, because it used to have a faster reload when it came out, but Gaijin nerfed that cause they couldn’t up its br or remove the heat round until now when they added the Type-74 C.
Japanese tree go hit hard with the update. Type 89 is unplayable. STB-1 looses heat and sniper scope. Iirc some type 74 changes but idr And that might not sound like a lot, but that's like 50% of Japanese ~8.0 The only cool things are Type 93 working like it should 1 year ago. And Type 87 RCV, great vehicle, good DERP lineup, but higher tiers are fucked.
honestly i didnt notice it even tough i knew it was buffed feels almost exactly the same also the fact that all type74 variants lost their high zoom optics not just the STB-1 is kind of annoying

03:14 Not only new default camo for japanese high rank vehicles but they also got 3 camos updated and recieved 3 more new camos for JSDF vehicles after the patch released and they look great!
Honestly I preferred how the multicolor camo looked before the update more and am kinda sad they changed it up on me. Otherwise though they are all great
@@Ko_Kasumi I never liked any of japanese old camo their colors were too weak. The old muticolor was ok but it really doesn't make much sense. The first replacement for it in 2nd dev server looked really good but sadly didn't make it to live server. The final version is decent, at least sharper color and looks like a proper desert camo with tan background and some green, brow and blue for patterns.
Hey man, you better keep making content like this, i have a strong feeling you'll blow up soon! I rembember watching your video about the _D point_ when i had online school and you had like 3.2k subs, so you're growing pretty fast! Very interesting content plus i personally love your voice. Keep em comin'!
Great stuff man... so much amazing content with this community. Now all I need for this game to be the best of the best, is gaijin getting a fucking grip for once.
It’s surprising how often things I’ve learnt in the ‘Almost useful’ series has actually come in handy while playing. Big kudos for collecting all of the knowledge and putting it in one place
@@vashcrimson4395 yeah but I don’t always read the patch notes. Most of the time I just hop in and play. I give the new features a quick glance but that’s about it
Not sure where to say this, but if your planning to make a "Almost Worthless Ground Breaking Knowledge" I got one suggestion that has so far been proven true. Previously, you can gain Points* (*: "Score", Not the SP) in Ground RB (Not sure about Ground AB, never checked that) by simply "Staring" at the enemy (If a enemy ground vehicle is within your tanks slight-line, at a rate of "maybe" 1 point/Second(Times number of enemy ground vehicles in sight at once)), after the Ground Breaking update was introduced, staring at a enemy tank will no longer give you points (Score, NOT the SP/Spawn Points*)
4:20 the bubbling sound effect doesnt require an amphibious vehicle from what i recall in messing around on the new map (not spaceport) driving in the canals
Okay just some this up without going into a long text where nobody's going to read it the reason why your players head is invisible is because the asset which is the camera is inside of the players head if they move it to forward it'll look like you're the aircraft and not the person flying the aircraft furthermore you wouldn't be able to see your feet or any of the Lord dials or joysticks in the cockpit because it would be too high up into forward can really see anything lower like light switches or some of the buttons for missiles or bombs they're usually located on the bottom of an aircraft Dash
1:40 funniest thing ever| "hey one of our high ranking soldiers are in the testing range and they took down the aircraft, send another one in" "commander but we dont have any more fuel" "ehhhhhh potato potato just send it in"
3:40 *Happy Italian Sounds* It Was Really A Bad Thing To Have To Shoot A Smol Burst And Then Have A Full Reload. *Now I Don't Have To Be Ultra Precise*
that pod on the MiG-21 is the SPS-141-100 counter measure's pod and is equipped for both intermittent and passive and active jamming, it also have flare/chaff, the MiG-21 also has a flare/chaff only pod called the ASO-2
The cone of where you're looking is actually really helpful for idiots like me who can't always tell where an icon on the map is. Now I have an indicator of if I'm looking right at it.
Fun Fact: The Breslau Map is set around the city centre of Wroclaw in Poland, and the map is named after the cathedral/church in the city, which can be found in the game.
There are still air-raid balloons out in the water on Normandy. Source: Just played a match on Normandy. Played a 3.0 match and spotted some balloons out in the water. Don't know if they're shoot-able as I played a tank without an MG.
No matter what the people say to me! I LOVE this Update! Yes there are a lot of bugs but I would consider most of them just really minor problems! I love all the small details and Balancing they did! Everything is really cool from all the new sounds to the new vehicles! Gaijin you did your job really well this time! 👏
When i saw "Osvetnik Vukovara" livery on that Mig21, i was honestly happy to see Croatian livery because its REALLY rare for my country to Be recognized
2:42 this is in my opinion best feature making friends ontop of a building messing around and climbing on eachother 3:40 it was op enought with having to reload afater every burst that lasts a second NOW THEY ARE MAKING IT EVEN STRONGER? alright i have to try it out
"The balloons in Normandy have been removed.."

im pretty sure there was as well but it didn't extend as far
1:41. Yeah I caught that on the dev server. It spawns with fuel, it's just that the airspeed is 0 when it spawns, so it just falls out of the sky.
"The balloons in Normandy have been removed.."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
maybe in high tier matches. not in Br 4.7 range. Just played a match
You missed the change to the aerodynamic contrails from when planes turn sharply. It looks far more realistic now!
you can even see the spirals of the contrails is over the camera
I love this one
I stopped playing for a couple of months and this was the most impressive change for me personally. It makes jets look so good.
Such heartbreaking news about the IL-28SH . I don't think i can play it the same :'C
ahahah the IL-28SH burst mass fact got me good :D
The mirrors are GAME CHANGING for sim. Its a shame the spotting mechanics got borked again 😅
Are planes invisible half the time again or what do you mean?

Also missing: The Type 89 now has no clips and can no longer fire atgms “on the move”
I miss the DM13 the aphe on the type 89 😭 and the change from clips to ready rack is also shit in my opinion 😑
you can still aim the missiles while moving, only after they are launched smh :/
La royale has been a historic update for war thunder it united the community so much and we should treat the devs with more respect

2:55 Correct, that is an SPS-141E ECM Pod
Gaijn can never be said to lack an attention to detail
The add on pod is the SPS-141. Made specifically to jam systems like the Hawk, and yeah, it carries flares and chaff in it
your more helpful then warthunder itself
4:13 This sound affect can also be heard with non-aquatic tanks when they drive through shallow water.
that pod on the MiG-21 is the SPS-141-100 counter measure's pod and is equipped for both intermittent and passive and active jamming, it also have flare/chaff, the MiG-21 also has a flare/chaff only pod called the ASO-2
Gaijin also added an SPAA and a medium tank into the test flights for U.S. Not the atoll one but the usual one.
the bubbly sound effect is played even if you're in a non-swimmy tank, just in deep enough water
The Pearl harbor test map now spawns a Medium tank and an SPAA near the boats and the ships attack them
Comment if you hate seeing what appears to be a bush holding a cannon in your match.
I'm amazed at how offended I felt about not having noticed the balloons on Normandy are missing
I can confirm as a long time player that that sound effect has been there for years.
the ikv91 nerf makes me saddest. no more floating

4:17 in all tanks in fact, the Sherman does as well, in passable water banks or streams (Since the Sherman is not amphibious)

yaay, more fucking bushes
Fun Fact: The Breslau Map is set around the city centre of Wroclaw in Poland, and the map is named after the cathedral/church in the city, which can be found in the game.
If you select the countermeasures in the Mig 21 MF, you loose the air brakes

3:30 THE ITALIAN WIRBELWIND IS BETTER THAN THE WIRBELWIND AND LOWER TEIR NOW
2:53 yes, it's an electronic warfare pod. SPS-141 ECM
Also, if a pilot has passed out due to g overload, while you regain control, your pilot will breathe very heavily
I'm pretty sure that was a thing for a long time
