helpful RU tip: there are only 6.25 degrees of gun depression over the front, and almost none over the rear, but 10 over the sides. if you are strggling to get that gun down, rotate your vehicle to the side. This also makes it hard to pen with HE since most of the side is tracks, opposed to the front and rear being easy HE shells. using calibrated gives you an amazing 112 HE pen, so do that too! I have a 58% or so win rate in RU, and 11 aced with 1500 abrg dmg. This is my favorite tank in the game. im not the best player, but this has helped me do great in the RU.
@@RJ-em1dg It had like minus gun depression at the rear. I couldnt shoot anyone chasing me when I would be running away from them, (for example: running away from T49s)
@Alexander Chohan yeah sometimes it's annoying if you're shooting while turning your turret from the side to the front. The gun automatically goes up. I have missed few shots because of it

He is incredible, the ru 251 is the next tank on my list, I am about half finished in my grind so I can research it, but one thing I know for sure is I probably will never have a game like that in it
1:25 HEP shells were not used by the Germans in WWII and the RU-251 is not a WWII tank it is a post war prototype. HEP was the American and German equivalent of HESH and were used during the Cold War. Not to dis on Droodles and the RU-251 is a great tank
You should do a vid on the VK 28.01. It is, in my opinion, a very underrated tank. It has almost everything going for it. Great mobility, a good gun, and armor that, although thin, is shockingly effective
Lovely tank, sideways is the best position to play. 1. HE could be failed on you if they hit tracks which will be a lot of the time. 2. You get more gun depression.
For you I play ru excellently spotting,flanking,circling and most of the time top damage but when I play Leo pta all of my skills went down to shit. I can’t get the same result compare to ru in my Leo.
Hi droodles It's nice for you to have 4k monitor But for viewer we barely see what teks you want to show it's very blurry on 1080p device You have great video
btw, the Ru 251 only has about 6 degrees of gun depression to the front, and 10 to the sides. droodles should of turned his tank at a slight angle at 2:45 and he would of hit the guy easily
Recently got back to WoTB abt a month ago. Only got to tier 7 last time I played. I'm into heavy tanks as I favour heavy armour but I did awful with them especially the slow ones. But once I got my IS engine fully upgraded, I'm starting to use the tank very well as it's a fast tank for a heavy. Same case as the M6, before upgrading it fully, it's awful as a HT. Fully upgraded, I started playing it as a medium and start flanking because of its speed and low armor and I'm doing exceptionally well. Slowly starting to think I'm a MT person. The IS became my favourite tank after changing my playstyle with it, other than the reload and aiming time of course.
I've noticed this with a lot of players that have very high stats( above 65%). They play very few games in a tank like, 40-60 games or something. Sometimes lower. And then they free xp to the next tank. Lol. This just artificially inflates one's stats, and to be honest, I consider a player with say, 60% in a vehicle and with hundreds of battles in it, more reliable and trustworthy, than a 68-70% who just got a few good games and stopped playing the tank. Also on a side not. I never thought it would be possible for a game to milk people this way. In most games, you pay money to just make your experience more pleasurable(same case here with getting top crew and top modules). But to pay a bunch of gold to free xp, in order not to mess the shinny stats you happened to get on a tank, because of a few lucky games?. Cause let's face it. The more games you play, the true stats are actually going to show. That's how statistics work. You take a big enough sample, in order to evaluate something. So just enjoy the game and relax man. We all know you're a good player by watching your live gameplay. No need to check out your stats.
Leopard PTA video would be nice. Nobody ever talks about it because the Leopard 1 is so much better than it in every single way, and it struggles in the current meta especially because of its lack of gun depression.
Droooodles, this tank should be running rammer, and it has 10° of gun depression over the side but like 6 on the front. U gotta use that. And then you have to “drive it like you stole it”
I'M IN THIS GAME i'm the annihilator i tried to message him after but i did not get a response sadly i wish i saw his name when i was playing the game i only saw it after but honestly props on you droodles i looked at is game after and saw he only played two games with a average of 5000 damage like WWHAT(i just finished watching the video and read my comment again and i sound like a 10 year old lol i just thought that was cool)
yo droodles should i get the ru 251 or the indien pz. first? im thinking the ru cuz it seems more fun but the indien has more hp and armor and is slower so idk which one pls help meeee
thats also a bit of a problem with the Ru. it carries such a low amount of shells. i actually ran out of shells in a 1v1 once. thankfully i turned it into a draw
the whole tech tree is great and almost op when played right . The single thibg that punishes this tech tree is the leopard pt a which is basicaly pain even in fun games like mad, games uprising, the current event and others it is still garbage
Ok as an avid ru player watching u play this hurts me inside. Ok your issue is with the depression. This tank is somewhat awkward in that it’s only 10 over the side of the tank. When you were poking the fv301 you needed to turn to hit him.
When i circle around any tank, the turret caught up to me, even with most heavies i travel faster around other tanks than this one, how is that fucking possible, such a fragile tank

Same here
i am a medium tank main because it's got the combo of turret armour, a great gun and decent mobility

@@admiralroadrunner4559 I meant mediums
I just checked.... That battle was the second highest damage of all time lol.... You absolutely beast

I do belive HEP is the german cold war copy of the HESH shell the british used
It is, I was going to make that comment
but it works so its fine lol

its not underrated, it's one of my favourite tier 6 light and medium. tbh lower tier mediums are the same as lights ;/
@@monkeymuncher2 my fav 6 light too
It’s not underrated depending on who you talk to, but Vk 28.01 is the only light tank used in tournaments.
Not underrated at all
Bushka has a great vid on it :)

*when you forget you have more gun depression on the sides*
Those days where the ru251 was the only highest tier LT, good times
Lovely tank, sideways is the best position to play.
1. HE could be failed on you if they hit tracks which will be a lot of the time.
2. You get more gun depression.
If I’m being honest, it looks like a Leopard 1 at tier 8, so yeah.
Because it is. Genius. 🤢

1:28 - It’s Cold War, not WWII. It’s British who invented HESH and the Germans basically called it HE-P to simplify things.
You'd be first in hall of fame for that replay Droodles nice job man
I love the 251, best tank to scout and proceed to a flank maneuver while being good bait
