for the turret ring being knocked out so much, gaijin modeled the hydraulic pump for the controls, the issue, is for whatever reason the pump gets hit basically regardless of where you get hit, despite it being located in the rear of the tank. and the turret drives have their own reservoirs for power, and you shouldn't completely lose the turret drive (vertical and horizontal) until those reservoirs are depleted (in the case all other power is knocked out)
The Zulu having 9m's is sweet, but having the missile basically accelerating form nothing theres not much range to it especially with the aircraft in top tier
14:22 it has zero advantages and honestly needs a hard rework, there is a glitch where if you try neutral steering with some tanks your controls are reversed
yea, that and with the amount of bindings you need in WT, it makes it impossible to do many things. Like at this point, I need a map to know what button combos do what.
14:31 there’s no substantional benefit to console but there’s an auto track feature where you lock on to planes and track like how radar would without the lead which funnily enough stil works if u plug in a keyboard and mouse. Makes spaa really fun
Man its such a shame we will never in our life time, get the proper and full Abrams armor package lol. Gone be quite a long while until its all declassified. Unless Gaijin sort of implements their own version of what it could be.
14:20 Yes there is an advantage on Xbox where you can press the A button on the controller and it will show a gray box around any aircraft, even if you can’t see the aircraft. Zenturion made a vid on it
19:39 I've definitely noticed the lag spikes in Air RB when everyone is spawning on the airfield. It seems to have been better the last week or so. Also in ground RB when spawning in a plane like you are noticing.
I feel that when it comes to playing console on controller, the one advantage that you have (that may also work on PC but I don’t know for sure) is that in ground RB, you can lock air targets like in air battles and the lock will follow an air target through walls and terrain. However, after recently switching to MnK from controller on my Xbox after several years, I can see now that the difference is like night and day, the bindings and the control you have over vehicles makes the game much more enjoyable.
as a xbox player console has the lock aircraft without radar so it helps a lot especially with SAMs without radar or not giving a RR ping and can also tell what the chopper or aircraft is and guess the payload from that and range mostly with choppers
on console the only real advantage is for AA get like a auto lock feature and if you set it up you can spam a button and a box will for where the aircraft is making it easier to see targets
Console does have a lock on feature for facing aircraft however it doesn’t work. Honestly it’s a lot worse because you cannot freelook and move at the same time so when you’re flying it’s hard to keep from getting tunnel vision and even harder to notch missiles
No benefit for condole. Less buttons means more bindings that you have to try and remember. You also have to be careful because you could fire or drop rockets or bombs when you try to switch weapons. Menu takes too long. I don’t think I can do guided bombs and agms when I get to them. My binds are not wanting to work when I test them
The Zulu should be able to take stingers instead of the 9M’s also I think it’s much more maneuverable than the ah64. The Zulu can barrel roll through city skyscrapers but the ah64 will drop like a rock if you descend too quickly because the engine can’t cope with the weight and the rotor rpm will drop
The funny thing about that, I was playing my Swedish T80U and had the round bounce off the dozer blade into the lower side of the turret and pen. It is the only time I’ve had a bounced round still pen, since usually the game makes it lose all penetration power.
14:27 What I can tell you is that console doesn't have any beneficials against PC however console does have a tracking feature which makes it easier to take down planes when your playing ground rb. Ground Rb is easier to play than air Rb on console
I have a console account, play on a pc, but it’s a legion go with a 7900egpu. The legion go has 5 remappable button, clickable mouse wheel, I definitely don’t feel limited at all.
Hell yeah, my recommendation went through. I'm almost there to the M1A1, but my first was AH-1Z and love it I was also debating to triple recommend AH-1Z, Super Harrier, and M1A1 HC however too much cas and not much high/top tier marines so best of the best muh Zulu and M1A1 HC
i started on controller on my xbox now im on pc, can say controller is more casual in my opinion, but keyboard and mouse gives more accurate movement and aiming. it is nice to just kick back and play sometimes.
Yea controller does for sometimes have an advantage over pc. Like you can lock on and be able to just look at planes and stuff by spamming A and left trigger it’ll lock planes, helps, and drones through buildings and mountains. Pc is overall better just because of key binds and being able to look around corners better and just looking around better.
You know weirdly enough I feel infinitely more confident playing my Arietes than my Abrams even though the Ariete is objectively a worse tank in some aspects. I also feel more survivable for some reason
Lag spikes while spawning in a plane is the worst, thought it was me. Also at 100k you should grab a good air rb player to get you just a tad more dangerous in the air.
To answer your question about console advantages, you can lock and track enemy air without radar even in GRB. Not sure if you can on pc I haven’t found a way if so
As a console player who plays on controller i recommend just stay on keyboard and mouse because you are limited in keybinds since all keybind can be in finger reach but try to remember which keybind go to what is a bit annoying
17:35 it’s also crazy too. When ever America gets a slight shift in its win rates they want to nerf the .50 cals. Lmfaooo. It’s wild, yes I know other nations use it but it’s primarily on all the American vehicles. Once again anti American bias. Cannot convince me otherwise. All this time and now Gaijin thinks it’s ok to nerf something so minor. That about all the BMP auto cannons. Those are known for not firing at there max fire rate because of over heating and barrel damage. But Gaijin won’t nerf that now will they 😂
Duuuude I love watching your videos and I love top tier and I recently wanted to grind the USA tech tree as I already did air I need to do ground and I’ve watched a lot of your abrams videos and it’s helped me get a lot more kills every round and I would get your decal but idk if you can on console
I’m a USA main. I play the Abrams A LOT obviously and I too feel like my play style has to be a lot of hiding as it feel like abrams get killed a lot easier than it is to kill even though I highly doubt it’s like IRL. Anyways to your point about the console. I have played WT for 5 years on console and do feel like it’s a lot more limiting than PC not just gameplay wise but getting a proper set of binds to where it’s effective took me a long time to nail. Even then I don’t have a lot of things binded like tank suspension and stuff like that just because it will get overwhelming. Stick to pc lol
14:26 it’s bad bro your camera won’t even look behind You and if you even dare to try it will snap back forward, if you try and fly your jet down the camera goes inverted it needs some serious fixes pc is way better ( I got a vid idea for you use controller for a vid
I really love the looks of all Abrams tanks but they're so painful to play these days. The artificial weakspot below the gun is big as a barn door. Plus the teams. So I feel your pain.
@@ilovehihats the turret ring armor is artificially nerfed. just like how getting hit anywhere is most likely also going to knock out your turret ring, which is not at all accurate, but gaijin thinks otherwise cause official, declassified documents mean nothing.
@@mlgrocket you're really trying to tell me that a dense metal kinetic penetrator traveling at more than 1500ms getting wedged in the massive gap between the Abram's turret and UFP, is not gonna cause any damage
@@ilovehihats not a single person is arguing that. the issue is how easy it is to hit, which is not the case IRL. also the 2S38 should not be able to pen it at all, yet here we are.
Controllers are very limiting when it comes to playing war thunder even with a elite controller just not enough buttons to sign the controls to unlike keyboards you have a lot more options when it comes to signing controls
Console is easier to fly per se but you have very limited buttons, you don’t have the market so most deals and packs you don’t get, lower graphic quality, etc.
14:27 yeah no PC it strictly better. The combos I need to put in for key binds is crazy. LB+x thermals LB+B rangefinder. Don’t even get me started on the suspension.
Its hard to make fast accurate shots on console unlike pc, i often suffer alot in top tier playing america where pc players can aim at me way faster than i could
For ease of use mnk is just better, controller has a hard time with vehicles like the strv103s, alot of multi button key binds, i play xbox but use a mnk for this game and its by far the better experience
console lags way to much, except the newer ones but since i have an older one lag is the only problem, i use keyboard and mouse and i got all the controls down so. its only when console players use controller is when the advantage goes to pc by ten-fold, but great video 👍
not related to the video topic but i hate how the chinese helis cannot carry more then 8 atgms when something like the ah-1z being a "light" helicopter can carry 16 with 2 a2a missiles. dont get my wrong, the TY90s are solid but most of the time are you needing 8 TY90s in a match? hell even 4 is more then enough for top tier. The Z-10 should at least get its FNF missiles to make up for the low missile count (since the only other helis i know with 8 atgms are the tigers which have the pars 3 and/or spikes)
Hey justin just letting you know PC is way better than console, you get more keybinds and access to marketplace. The advantage of a console is the joysticks and that's about it if I could play on PC I would
14:22 no, the only "advantage" for console is being able to track aircraft smoother. PC has a lot better performance, especially being able to change your graphics. Overall no reason to main console except price.
I play on console it’s very limiting on air combat that in tank battles, and also in cas it’s very different but if it’s just a tank on tank battle there’s can be an even match but for me I’m just better
I think the main advantage is psychological. You are always under estimated and not being very good at the game or having the same abilities as a PC player.
I pop my head back into US every once in a while to check in, and my games have all been sad. It's like clockwork. Truly formulaic for me. Team will push hard, hold great momentum and positions, then just evaporates on the enemy's second wave and everybody goes back to hangar. Particularly when enemy CAS comes out.
@@TrepidDestinyone SU34 and the entire team folds. It’s pretty sad. But of course, gaijin won’t do anything about it since it’s Russian CAS with the best SPAA in the game.
Console is no where near as good as pc you are limited to 1080p 60fps and trust me when I say this 1080p really hinders you for long range spotting although the graphics are the only major difference because I play console on kbm
Bro what 😂 I literally play War Thunder at 4k 60 on a Series X. If your console doesn’t support 4k that’s the problem. If your TV/ Monitor also doesn’t support 4k then that’s also your problem.
You forgot the Av8b+, perfect marine lineup Av8b+, M1a1Hc + Ah1z
Aw i did! Next time xP
@JustinPlaysTV imagine an entire line up of USMC
Harrier+, Zulu, Freebrumz HC, and LAV-AD
Unsure how well the video would be though
@@croskerkAnd just an LAV-25... Whenever they add it. And LAV-AT!
The "39%" category for your top tier made me cackle lol
for the turret ring being knocked out so much, gaijin modeled the hydraulic pump for the controls, the issue, is for whatever reason the pump gets hit basically regardless of where you get hit, despite it being located in the rear of the tank. and the turret drives have their own reservoirs for power, and you shouldn't completely lose the turret drive (vertical and horizontal) until those reservoirs are depleted (in the case all other power is knocked out)
It makes the Abrams incredibly frustrating to play
The Zulu having 9m's is sweet, but having the missile basically accelerating form nothing theres not much range to it especially with the aircraft in top tier
Hence why I was really careful with it. Just some of the advantages of the Stingers.
@@JustinPlaysTV you gotta admit, you cant tell when they'll hit and if you get hit by one it scares the living crap out of ya
@@thebossnhy544 35g from 0km/h is crazy you can shoot it at people really close easily
@thebossnhy544 you can; it's called holding U
@As19240 the missile isn't gonna pull 30* g at low speed
14:22 it has zero advantages and honestly needs a hard rework, there is a glitch where if you try neutral steering with some tanks your controls are reversed
The only advantage is locking planes without seeing them
yea, that and with the amount of bindings you need in WT, it makes it impossible to do many things. Like at this point, I need a map to know what button combos do what.
@ don’t even get me started on how unresponsive the movement is, like I can move my stick 50% and it won’t register it at all
That happens to me all the time, I try turning one way and it goes the opposite, gets you killed more often than not.
14:31 there’s no substantional benefit to console but there’s an auto track feature where you lock on to planes and track like how radar would without the lead which funnily enough stil works if u plug in a keyboard and mouse. Makes spaa really fun
would it work the other way around? plug a controller into the pc?
@@shikikanaz4624 no only for playing on console itself
USMC combo but no LAV? My disappointment knows no bounds.
as someone who started on console and switched to PC, they dont, mouse and keyboard snapping and Extensive keybinds are a super advantage
You’re not the only one, engine turret ring, or breach loader/commander. It’s modeled into the game like that.
19:34 Yes, I get them too when I'm taking off with the helos
Man its such a shame we will never in our life time, get the proper and full Abrams armor package lol. Gone be quite a long while until its all declassified. Unless Gaijin sort of implements their own version of what it could be.

1:50 was changed as part of the review bombings. Spading no longer has ridiculous RP requirements for end of line vehicles.
ive been playing germany 12.0 getting my ass handed to me by sep v2 but when im play it my team folds like a wet paper towel
Ryanberry mentioned hell yeahhhhh🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You know its a american tank from the tubs of mint ice cream on the side of the turret 😋
as a xbox player console has the lock aircraft without radar so it helps a lot especially with SAMs without radar or not giving a RR ping and can also tell what the chopper or aircraft is and guess the payload from that and range mostly with choppers
Completely agree, anytime i get hit in abrams turret ring always goes out. Even in engine compartment... feels a little off
Early congrats for 100k subs. You really deserve it and a lot more. Thanks for making awesome content!
I've found that the M908 shell (or whatever it's called) is great for popping light tanks like a HE shell.
