M8 is easily the strongest for it's tier, the 50 cal easily pens most things for the tier and if you use the turret camera it's absolutely devastating when hiding behind cover.
@@neku9837 I actually just got it for free from one of the random 10 event vehicles you could win. But I also just found out you already have a free Reserve M8 greyhound for the Chinese? Look in the Chinese tech tree and you'll see they have a M8 Greyhound as one of the starter vehicles its actually OP for being a reserve.
This tank is actually a good way to practice using IFV autocannon (Bradley, BMP-2, etc). Since it's fast, has .50 cal, and small too. 100% would recommend it.
This thing is not awesome but it’s so fun when you manage to massacre the enemies when you flank them. The fire rate is high, so you can quickly spray down multiple enemies...
I loved the M2A2. Fly around the battlefield and flank and bum rush people. Aggression absolutely pays off, especially if you are playing against newer players that get wide eyed and panic when they see an enemy swarming them.
Could you do a video on the ELC-BIS. Everyone seems to think it’s not that good. Maybe you do as well. But from me playing it recently it seems to have improved greatly from when it was introduced, no scouting still though :(
Once upon a time this thing has 20mm max penetration. But now I know it's not as bad as it used to be with the pen boost (I didn't even consider this rhig previously)
My brother had this back in the days when it was still reserve tier. It's nowadays so bad that it's instead a researchable 1.0. My brother rolled a talisman on it, worst talisman roll i've ever seen
You're a Boss Howto, (Mr. Play?) anyway, I am a Howto Play enjoyer and thanks for all of the quality content. Not gonna lie, I thought your accent was Taiwanese and that's ok to say.
Just a question: Will you make a video about the PVE modes Tank/Plane Assault ? (There is barely any video about them) Both game mode are incredbily unfair, unbalanced, broken its safe to say both are worse than a normal PVP match...
While this tank isn't amazing, I absolutely love the thing. First tank game in War Thunder was with this and I went ham on the enemy. Got a double ace before dying lmao
Its a fun tank for cap stealing and hiding somewhere and getting kills with arty. Its pretty much the only way to get kills at higher brs. It is definitely one of the Tier 1 vehicles that should have scouting. I would disagree that its a good tank for novice players. It should be left behind until they get better crew skills and and more player skill. Otherwise its an exercise in frustration and probably causes a lot of people to quit the game.

When I played the game for the first time, I played USA... I thought that 50. Cal was an Autocannon
I just researched it randomly and I thought it was super strong when I saw that “cannon” fire so fast
Yeah, i always thought that american tanks that dont press space and w at the same time are noobs.
Old M2 used to have even less penetration than now.
I would choose M8 greyhound instead of this thing in any circumstance, the additional 37mm auxiliary cannon would be very helpful.

Too bad the M8 in the american tree is locked behind an event from years ago :D
I don't remember the m8🤔
M8 is wayyyy better. I have it and the 37mm Anti-Aircraft cannon is a beast. Not to mention the .50 BMG main cannon

I find really cool you do videos on all BR ranges. I really like interwar tanks so I'm glad you cover them too

M8 LAC has the 50 cal on a fast pintle mount and a 37mm gun as well AND it's fast AND has 4 crew members so it can take some hits.

A fantastic video and one I definitely think will be helpful to some newer players too! Looks like Santa *was* reading my wishlist!
Would not recommend this tank for new players :)
I'm surprised the FT-17 with the 37mm hasn't been added yet, it could be a good interwar reserve tank for many nations.
I don't think WT would add the FT-17, the reserve tanks are already decent and there's not really any complaints about the current reserves.
@@blubloxx6948 Might just be my personal bias but I would love to see the FT in warthunder at least as fun reward vehicle.
@@blubloxx6948 theres nothing decent about frances reserve tanks.
It would have the same 37mm that you find on the FCM-36 (cone tank) IIRC

I think it's because of seal clubbing :D
@@HowToPlay1337 probably…
But still it’s got quite a bit going for it now at 6.0
The small turret also used to be the gunner so if it was knocked out yout M2 turrer became abandoned as the commander moved there

@@katyusha1283 yeah and the amc or what ever it’s called
i rolled a talisman on the damn GAZ-AAA with the 4 maxim guns, it can't even fight tanks unlike the 50 cal one
@@quirble rip
I also got a talisman on this tank… only tank I’ve every rolled a talisman…. I’m at USA 8.7 ground and 6.7 in planes
The soviet equivalent to this (at least calibre wise) would be the GAZ DShK, as fun as m2a2 too

Honestly quite incredible
02:40
That driver has a jaw of STEEL, not to mention the thigh of steel the guy behind him has
This thing became an unlikely beast back when they buffed the 50 cals
Honestly if M2A2 were to have TWO .50 cal MGs it would be even more of a blast to play.
1:31 "Because the *penetwation* is vewy weak"
Great video! I enjoy watching your content.
Hey can you do the T26E1-1? Super Pershing was my favorite tank of all time until they moved it to 6.7 :(
No Pershing should be higher than 6.3.
Ah, I just used this tank as an AA. Unironically more effective when I used it as an AA.
That’s the only thing the 30 cal is anywhere close to being useful for
ah i love how swedens 1.0 tanks have sabot rounds that can pen 100+ mm of armor XD
M8 has 0,5 cal and 37mm cannon and it is great!
M8 gang!
Just a question:
Will you make a video about the PVE modes Tank/Plane Assault ? (There is barely any video about them)
Both game mode are incredbily unfair, unbalanced, broken its safe to say both are worse than a normal PVP match...
Funny enough, it’s one of the most effective vehicles at 1.0 😄
Would this tank be viable at br 9.7? I fully intend to use it.
I think slow turret rotation can become an issue ;/
Can’t believe he made a “Remember the name” reference.
While this tank isn't amazing, I absolutely love the thing. First tank game in War Thunder was with this and I went ham on the enemy. Got a double ace before dying lmao
This tank gives some hope that WW1 tanks should be added as well.
Ah yes. Driving 5 KPH and having a gun that cant even scratch other tanks. Very fun.
Independent is the closest thing.
i love you bring back your accent to say penetration to penetwetion
I love this tank, its so much fun.
Fighting an M2A2 while using the Independent is the only time the Independent actually feels like the heavy tank it's classified as.
Is this considered as an IFV
Back then a .50cal was a good anti everything gun.
Can you review the American T34 next
ASU-57/KV-2 next please
Can you please make a video about the SMK?
I will next year at some point
The 50 cal only tank is fun when played correctly
If that thing had 2 50's it would be crazy.

You should do M-51 or BT-42
M2a4 is my low br favorite. Since it has the cannon and 50cal.
But it doesn’t have a .50 cal 😄

Mmm yes the Chad M2A2
Ah yes... Remember the name.

The poor new players.
Believe me i tried 😭
Me likey likey
it's a tankette, no cannon but autocannon or MG is a female tank
