And again it’s a teammate in a T92 that helps Odd to hold the line. Remember back to that one video some months back where a T92 was helping and got taken out by a Panther (if I recall?) that was trying to push Odd while he was repairing? In my book T92 players are starting to set a gold standard for good teammates.
The reasons for the turret layout are to give the commander the ability to operate a "Hunter Killer" system, the British did the same thing with the Conqueror, the panel on Operation Think Tank a few years ago talked about it. Also we're missing the M103A1 with the upgraded engine, but Gaijin only cares about T-80XYZ premiums these days.
M103A2 had the upgraded AVDS diesel engine, but I completely agree with you. I would LOVE to see the M103A2 at 8.3-8.7 with better maneuverability, a better range finder, better turret traverse, etc. As well as the option to use APDS since the M103's gun did fire APDS, but the US army chose solid shot over it for some reason.
@@trevorrenkevens4720 i think US didn't like APDS because accuracy issue and solid shot is sufficient at penetration power (i think i heard somewhere that M58 120mm AP is having stronger kinetic force than some APFSDS round), also at that time US generally use HEAT for tank to tank combat
Honestly, MBTs are basically just speedy heavy tanks. Like the Abrams is heavier than the M103. They didn't stop making heavies, they just figured out how to replace all the other tanks with faster heavies.
Nah, MBT isn't a mechanical classification, it's a doctrinal one. A main battle tank is the main tank you use in battle. The US just decided that it's main tank should be a chonker.
Wasn't that the philosophy behind the "hull shatter" mechanic? Though it would be immensely satisfying to see the side of a locust caved in and moved 10 meters in the other direction by something like this.
I would like this thing a lot more if Gaijin fixed how uncapped armor piercing shells performed against sloped armor. Especially the M103's AP in particular. The nose of the shell was designed to shatter in such a way that turned the main body of the penetrator in towards the plate offering exceptional angled performance. In game it both lacks in angled penetration and had an ahistorically high chance to bounce at even moderate angles. In real life testing the gun that would be mounted upon the M103 proved that it could penetrate an RHA mock-up of an IS-3 hull at a range of 1.5km reliably. In game that shot is unreliable even at point blank. Same reason why the M26's T33 AP shot performs so ahistorically poorly against the Panther. It should pen the upper glacis reliably out to 1km but it can't even do so at point blank in game. The reason is that Gaijin's penetration calculator just flat out poorly represents uncapped penetrators. T33 AP is also incorrectly modeled as APC when in reality it was APBC.
which is crazy because a tank that was fitted with a 90mm gun specifically designed to penetrate Panther's and proved in actual combat that it could do what it was designed to do, but in War Thunder you can UFP a Panther is honestly INSANE to me.
13:58 *_Highest energy solid AP round, 23.1 kg going 1067m/s with a pen of 301mm at that distance... defeated by a radio box._* Lmao this game sometimes
I just think this video does a perfect job of displaying what it wrong with heavy tanks in WT. The way BR works just makes heavy tanks like any other tank just fatter and slower than any other tank. They’re supposed to be “heavy” but still die from little tanks that don’t even need to out flank or maneuver. 😔 Poor heavies.
now imagine a proper squad pushing with only heavies. Unpenettable, unbeatable... I do understand what you mean tho, but from a game balacing pov it just can't be done
@@1raremuan "iT cAn'T bE dOnE gOyEem." You're gaslighting, and what's worse... a parrot. Gaijin has gone out of its way to pull relative historical competition with all its modeling, to sell their mud puddle of ww2 vs brand new clown wigs. Don't even bring up the IS-6, because they were caught adding invisible armor to that. A lot of Soviet garbage is treated like that, unbalancing the game as artificially as possible.
@rodrigosalgado3175 No, because: "The M58 is the most powerful tank cannon (by energy) to ever enter service, with M358 having a muzzle kinetic energy of 13.15MJ", as per ruclips.net/video/-DF5lgrH9KU/видео.html , and some other things I've read online
I hate how bad the 120mm solid shot is in game, it's lacking alot of 60° pen and the ricochet chance is way too high that a Panther with some luck can ricochet it all day long ground level...
Gaijin has secret modifiers at over 60 degrees to go with other arbitrary nerfs to buff the snooZers and barrel depress what they see as NATO. The most suspicious part of that particular line of code is the average slope of Soviet tanks factoring into the decision. Really crappy petty BS. This shot in particular should be Zeusing the front of Tiger 2's and IS-3's.
I remember climbing into one of these M103 tanks when i was a kid at the base and they had one in a park along with a M60 near where I live that honored military and tank crews. The tank was awesome to dee inside and climb on top of. It had the T52 stereo sight and the M14 computer and the M60 power unit the Continental diesel engine.
Yeah, the M103 AP shell is such a huge let down in my opinion. This shell should have more angled pen than the APDS of the Conqueror, and it should do even more damage. The M103 had the most powerful gun of any tank that entered service, but in War Thunder this gun is mediocre.
@@williamgaugler3346they use the exact same round as this, in game. But the 120 AP should be better in angled pen & post pen damage all across the board
This is one of the scariest vehicles to see turn the corner towards you. You just know death is coming and you might not be able to do anything about it. And i mean the L3/33. Look forward to seeing you play it next!
Hey Odd, the F3D has air brakes, so you dive bomb a lot slower without having to lawn dart the ground. Then as you pull up, nail the throttle and put the flaps away and you're out of there safely and at speed.
It either works or doesn't earlier I decided to work on my French line and I had some good games in the amx 100 had 9 kills and 1 death then next game nothing but 6 assist and I was dealing with a annoying ahh t44 100 that I shot straight into his turret to disable some shii wasn't enough I killed like just the commander and gunner then I caught this guy 2 more times direct side hull shots couldn't have asked for a better shot and mofo still lives it was ridiculous and by that time my reload started so I was fcked and out numbered and eventually died due to reloading 💀
It works perfectly, it's only the US ones that are wonky for some reason. With British and French tanks, it gives pretty good damage as long as you point it towards more vital parts.
I’ve always found the m103 to have a weird turret that still makes sense. Having the gunner and commander at the back means that they have no sight (that is mounted on the gun itself) and instead would range the targets with the rangefinder, and then elevate the gun accordingly. It also means that the 2 loaders had a lot of space, since the entire turret basket is only occupied by them.
that T92 in the first game was stock with 200mm pen APCR btw. it explains why he was passive. also you should bring some HE in the M103 because it can overpressure IS-3s and Conquerors on the turret roof
@@fabians7751 to show how utterly bad it is, it can't pen a slightly angled upper plate of a Bulldog at 400m... at 6.7 it has stock APCR, just like the german Bulldog at 6.3. What is funny is that the normal US bulldog starts with solidshot, which is much better, but those other 2 don't even have it.

@@NeoMaddy Technically yes, however overpressure is not as reliable when using HEAT over HE. Additionally, the HEAT-FS has only 2.6kg TNT equivalent compared to 4.6kg for the HE
11:20 I didn't recognized that map 1st but than i notice its just a "Battle" type map. I wish we could turn off map types like in WOT, dot to i just hate "encounters" so much that I often just instant quit when i get one, specially in naval! 23:15 u can penetrate almost any tank trough the most front wheel; and it does not even detonates HEAT till it reaches the side plate it self, like the wheel does not have a hitbox from some angles. Its an old ancient bug, or simply overlooked broken mechanism, it has nothing to do with Russian ammo.
I've been asking this quite a bit, but you should definetely give the Strv m/42 EH a try! That thing is a great medium tank, it's mobile, it has a 75mm APHE shell that - with more HE filler than an IS-2 - evaporates anything, it has enough armor to bounce some shots... It's awesome, and together with the B-239 and the mad max AA truck makes for a really strong lineup!
One of my coolest kills was a snapshot on an M103 with a Panther II on its cupola. Also used a Panther A to kill an IS-6 at its most OP point with a hail Mary shot on it's lowest most side armor from 2k away
late heavy tanks suffer against modern ammo but theres just something really fun about driving a fat tank with 6 crew. the T29 remains my guilty pleasure to this day... that might be more to do with shredding btr80s with the 3 50cals though.

Did you know the AMX-50 Foch has the AP round with the least amount of drop in game. It acts like a apfsds round. Also OddBawz not sure if your knew but you can pen the IS-3s frontally with the AP rounds with no problem up to 800 meters(Ive done it before)
fun fact the us made the m-103 while the british made the conquerer for the same purpose to counter the soviet heavy tanks like the is-3 and t-10, the french did try to make a heavy tank to counter those same soviet tanks with that attempt being the amx50 line

M103 is a lot of fun especially with it often getting downteired it’s armor is hard to deal with since people are often unsure although when u occasionally run into somebody with a good knowledge the can pen quite a few spots frontally with next to no pen for main guns
Actually first map is really ideal for M103 bcs you can fight at hulldown position and just show your very thich turret armor in like every place in the map.
@@sturmoviksunday the AMX 50 foch and M103 have the exact same reload, the AMX 50 foch is also 7.3 compared to the M103s 7.7. The Surbaissé is significantly better then the M103.
@@aflyingcowboy31 I am aware I was just making fun of the french tank naming, with tanks having similar names despite being so different (same for the amx 10)
The worst part about the M103 is how nerfed it really is, it’s like the American introduction to the entire UK tech tree lol, big rounds, long reload times and no damage done. Fun fact the force generated by the M103’s shell hitting armour I believe is still the highest caused by a tank even today. So technically even if the shell didn’t penetrate you’d still kill someone in the tank, as for light tanks you’d flip them.
that T92 was actually playing pretty smart. for some reason russian machine guns will penetrate that thing at close range, so those IS-X tanks would have just killed his gunner with their mg if he pushed while they were reloading
I almost never use the HEAT in this. In the cases where you need it the target is resistant to it. The onky real targets to shoot with heat are the T10M IS4M and IS3 because it's armour overperforms to a ridiculous degree ingame. But it is also laughable how much worse that M103 is when compared to the T10M and IS4M

He also has cool ears that anything can fly into
I’m grinding the Magach line and I see this thing everywhere and they are terrifying especially when you only have a 90mm gun WTH APCR
Holy crap i was in a match with you on my team. You died beside me but i tried to save you lmao. Was cool to roll beside my favorite tanker!!!!!
I'd assume this was supposed to be a long distance mobile artillery type tank, while other heavily armored tanks pushed in.
I love this tonk. I had the best game ever in a USA 7.7 match lastnight and this 103 was the main reason 😂
Solid shot producing tons of shrapnel everywhere but where anything important is 🗿🍷
Actually first map is really ideal for M103 bcs you can fight at hulldown position and just show your very thich turret armor in like every place in the map.
Finally ive been waiting so long for this video❤🎉
ive got the crazy bug where the enemy actually penetrates my armour man
I felt the Is-3 near the start of the video lol
A day late for 4th of July Odd, Shame on you! Love your videos man.
this use to be my most fave tank i have soo many good memories with it
Thank you Odd for doing my request 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
fun fact the 103's solid shot can destroy IS-4Ms' through the driver's port
7 road wheels that tank is huge
I had a Heavy tank battle between the T10M vs this one. I just used apds to his lower plate and won.
being sprocketed at like 75 degrees by Soviet APHE.... brilliant
I love the amx 50 that has the same gun but a 6s reload
the amx 50 also has the same gun but a 20 second reload
@@sturmoviksunday ? the Surbaissé has the same cannon and AP shell with a 6 sec autoloader
@@bonnibelio_ the amx 50 foch
@@sturmoviksunday the AMX 50 foch and M103 have the exact same reload, the AMX 50 foch is also 7.3 compared to the M103s 7.7.
The Surbaissé is significantly better then the M103.
@@aflyingcowboy31 I am aware I was just making fun of the french tank naming, with tanks having similar names despite being so different (same for the amx 10)
"Wait..you guys are getting downtiers?" - me.
I forgot they buffed heat and hesh on large caliber weapons. They actually act like he rounds now
so this is basically the Surbaissée's gun on a less mobile vehicle and without the autoloader
Started playing again recently and just got this today.
btw odd the obj 292s he shell has the highest mussel energy of any tank in the game
Bro, pls play the t-55AM-1, it’s a beast at its br 🙏
I wish had had that tank.
The worst part about the M103 is how nerfed it really is, it’s like the American introduction to the entire UK tech tree lol, big rounds, long reload times and no damage done.
Fun fact the force generated by the M103’s shell hitting armour I believe is still the highest caused by a tank even today. So technically even if the shell didn’t penetrate you’d still kill someone in the tank, as for light tanks you’d flip them.
>Flip them
In the front and out the back, killing the neighbor's buffalo before settling in the berm next to his pickup.
45mm for the sides is nuts.
*slap the roof of m103*
This tank can load a child-weight shell
The peak of cast armor.
that T92 was actually playing pretty smart. for some reason russian machine guns will penetrate that thing at close range, so those IS-X tanks would have just killed his gunner with their mg if he pushed while they were reloading
The M1o3 could be such a cool vehicle. Why did they make it look like it's got a tumor on its head
I almost never use the HEAT in this. In the cases where you need it the target is resistant to it. The onky real targets to shoot with heat are the T10M IS4M and IS3 because it's armour overperforms to a ridiculous degree ingame.
But it is also laughable how much worse that M103 is when compared to the T10M and IS4M
Oddbawz you should try out Gunner, Heat, PC! man its a realistic up and coming cold war era tank game
It's a fun tank even in uptiers
