I wish they'd stop messing with the audio and graphics and just focus on the bugs and BRs (and actually take community recommendations seriously for BRs). I've heard that the corporate part of Gaijin is messing up the game and making these poor decisions.
Plus, in my opinion, it is the most balanced br for the big three. US has ok armor and a stabilizer, germany has really good guns, and russia has good armor
@@airsoftpopcorn Yup, I got to Tier 4 US and immediately stopped, Tier 3 is just so much fun and as you guys said has the best WW2 vehicles, nothing beats killing Tigers with Hellcats, the only problem is the goddamn R3-T20
@@airsoftpopcorn Yeah, and Germany has some good armor too if you're skilled enough to angle (I'm looking at all of the Tiger players who drive at enemies head-on).
@@airsoftpopcorn I literally stopped at 5.7 for all nations. Even then, you see some stupid vehicles from the 70's in Tiger/Panthers and M4's. 3.7 for the US is perfect as far as balance and fun, 4.0 is probably as good as it gets for Germany. After 6.0 and up things just get stupid... costs are ridiculous, gameplay loses complete balance and the maps aren't even big enough for the vehicles involved.
@@jkdoesthings6999 That's a good step. I played AB for the first 4-5 months, then played RB with Russia. I wouldn't recommend grinding USA past 5.7 unless you have millions of SL. Russia and Germany are the best options
just to let you know odd in case you're reading this... your uploads are what keeps me going when i have a bad time in war thunder. You let me know that it's okay to have bad luck and bad days... so thank you! Really! I appreciate every upload you make. I hope you're having a nice day and week
Fun fact: In one battle the sounds of the ferdys engines exploding when going up a hill was thought to be arty fire by the allied force who took cover but when they popped back up they saw the carnage.
It's almost like it has some semblance of balance. The fucking thing is better than a lot of comparable vehicles and has more armor. It's not as if the SU-122 doesn't have to also face HEAT light tanks. I cannot believe people still act like HEAT rounds aren't fair in the game when the armor on the Tiger II and Ferdinand and the like are all immune to conventional rounds frontally with few exceptions. God forbid those tanks be susceptible to something. And the CAS and HEAT stuff people complain about is every bit as much a problem for any fast HEAT slinger or comparable SPG. German players are spoiled is what I'm saying and they complain about anything that can defeat their armor. No armor meta makes the German players really upset every time.
@@adamg7984 I mean, the purpose of heavy tanks is so you don't get instantly penned at any angle, otherwise medium tanks are better overall. If you have stuff at 6.7 or lower that can be extremely mobile AND be able to pen any heavy tank at any angle, regardless of nation, it's pretty unbalanced.
@@LockeOG That's why they don't exist anymore. And most of what can kill heavy tanks has huge trade offs once again. Either play the medium tank if the heavy armor isn't good enough or be happy the heavy is immune to a lot of what it faces. Do you know how much worse in balancing it is to have a tank that can barely be hurt from the front? Because the Jagdpanther at 6.0 is a fine example when facing enemies lacking the 152mm or 122mm Russian guns or the M41 with APDS or something equivalent. Pretty much, unless you're Germany, the only things that can reliably kill you have to do so with significant trade offs like bad armor and being susceptible to CAS. Germany however has really well rounded tanks WITH excellent guns that people claim aren't all they're said to be, so their BR's are always baffling to me at least in the lower half of the tech tree. I say Germany because it's medium armor is able to reliably kill KV-1's and M4A5's and T14's and Churchill III's and is often better than the dedicated tank destroyers of other nations. They're the only nation that doesn't have something like the T-55E1 or M10 as their only higher penetrating tank/vehicle in a BR. And while Germany has things that are even better equipped in terms of weapons, most of those have trade offs. But the Panzer IV F2 and G being 3.3 is dog shit to me when they can penetrate on par with an M10 and reliably kill heavy tanks, have similar armor to an M10, roof protection, turret rotation faster than a sloth yet somehow gets the same BR as the M10. When clearly the M10 is worse in every regard but it's roof .50 cal. And heavy tanks are significantly better against bombs and CAS. The people who complain about HEAT and ATGM's never mention that. It's like people who play the Tiger expect to only face 75mm American and 76.2mm Russian guns. Can you imagine how fucking broken that is to have nothing able to hurt you frontally? Seriously, heavy tanks are already a massive issue to balance as it is, the fact people don't like their heavy tanks being susceptible to ANY weapon and only want flanking or CAS to be viable options, drives me crazy. How does that seem more balanced? Have you ever faced a team with a heavy tank that cannot be killed frontally? It's the most miserable experience you can have in WT, or it was to me since I did have games where that happened. Most things that can kill you have paper armor or bad reload times. They all have their positives and negatives, you have to deal with that and not play a heavy tank like it's armor is impervious but can buy you opportunities against certain enemies. You're talking about removing weapons that were literally created and designed with combating heavy tanks in mind. Why would that be more balanced? Most shit that can make short work of an IS-3 can be killed by the IS-3's 12.7mm machine gun.
@@adamg7984 my issue isnt with balanced tank destroyers like the jagdpanther, m10, isu122... It's things like the t114, ebr 1964 and ru 251 (upon similar fast light vehicles with a good heat shell) being found in 6.0 or even lower due to BR compression, that completely run rings around lower tier heavy tanks. You mentioned that you can machine gun them, but this only applies to 50cal (usa and exports) and some russian heavies with 14.5mm. The rest don't have that same capability. Gaijin has, as you are already aware, raised the BRs on these vehicles, but my problem is they keep wiggling back down 1 entire BR because of the MM and BR compression.
Every time my dad and I play WT and he pulls out the Ferdinand, we have quite a laugh about it´s repair cost and Free Repair Time, especially bcs my dad has 240k Sl and HAS to use the FRT! Another great vid, keep it up Odd!
Your always funny, enjoyable to listen to and most of all I don't get any feeling of 'insulted' from you. You play the game and except the losses/deaths with fun/joy or seem to. Thank you for the videos, I've learned a good bit just listening to you, thank you for that and the laughs you've given me.
it is my all time favorite/best performing tank. 631 deaths to 2291 kills, and it has made me a total of 10.2mil SL and 1.65ml RP. Best tally I have EVER spent
Now just multiply 20.000 with 631. That's still my favourite tank and the stats are the same of yours but the repair cost make it unplayable. Consider these good stats comes from the past, were your 200mm armor truly meant something. Today ferdinand is just a moving house full of silver lions that planes and modern tanks are going to penetrate full frontal even from 2km. Avoid this tank people, looks tick but with the actual meta his main strength has been deleted while his weakness still there.
German 6.3 is incredibly fun. I just spaded the Ferdinand over the past few days and I had a blast. If you get an open map, you're all set to sit and snipe. Unless some HEAT boy gets really lucky, you bounce all day while wrecking everything you look at. If you get a city map... well, you just play something else from the 6.3 lineup. There's the Bulldog, the Tiger II (P), you name it.
The most underappreciated cas plane is definetely the me410 b-6 r3 with those 30mm and 20mm cannons as well as radar and defensive twin 13mm mgs. I almost never see that in battle too. It is FAAAAAR superior to the do335 as it has almost endless 30mm ammo, it is maneuverable enough to fight p47s and other twin engine planes, it has infinite 20mm ammo, it has very important radar as you dont have plane markers in ground rb, defensive armament and so on. It is by far the greatest cas at this br and all the way to the radar spaa br range of 8.0 . If you let a good pilot that knows how to conserve ammo too alone with that plane with no enemy fighters to bother him, that plane can signle handedly win games. I have gotten over 10 kills per spawn with that and still had 20mm left for aa vehicles and planes. We need a video on that!. Great vid as always Odd.
Thnx for uploading evry day. I rilly like your content and its cus of you i bought an xbox and started to play war thunder. Right now im grinding the german tech tree.
day number 14 of telling odd i love his videos. took my english and bio finals today. i felt like i did terribly on my english one which is to be expected for me (english is hard as a dyslexic child) but my bio final went smooth. Friday is my religion and math which i feel like i will do fine on idk tho wish me luck
I remember being killed by an EBR in the Ferdi. After I had retreated into a warehouse, he broke my nose, both of my legs, and then shot me in the back of the head.
I had a game back when I played where me and a ferdi took a whole town, he ran out of shells after taking out about half the team. We sat in the center of town and I defended him with my Tiger while under arty fire till the game ended
Sad to not see myself getting absolutely clubbed by you in this vid as you just smashed me in a game earlier today hahha, but it made me very excited for todays upload nonetheless... lyl Odd xx
It's good to see Gaijin calming down on obscene repair costs, but some are still just ridiculous. Any bomber, for example, should be able to recoup repair costs after dropping 3/4's of the bomb load, I think, and and fighter after 1 player kill and some air targets destroyed. Similarly, any tank should break even after say a kill and an assist/point cap.
I will never understand why this was bumped up to 6.7 so it faces even more things that completely negate it's armor. The only good thing is they did drop the repair costs too a quarter of what it was.
@@AFT_05G Well back in the day it was pretty much top tier material, now days it faces off post war tanks that all have HEAT-FS or some sort of high pen round. So that 200mm of flat armor counts for nothing, even a number of 5.0 tanks can technically pen it frontally.
The best one as ussual. Man, when I watch your games everything look so easy. Than I ll start playing and everything goes south. Just continue with videos. You r great.
I don't know why people are complaining about the repair cost it's a Ferdinand with literally all of its problems magically fixed gjin balances tanks with repair cost so here we go
Haha, one of my favorite things. Watching RUclips for a bit, open up Odd's video, "IN THIS VIDEO I PLAY...(turns volume down to about 10% from 50%)...the mighty Ferdinand and lose 50 thousand silver lions per game using the Ta 152 c3." I love you Odd, even if you do blow my speakers everytime I open your videos, haha
Hi Odd! I’m grinding out the German trees right now so I can switch up my Bri’ish monotony. Edit: I, for one, really appreciate how you go to the effort to make more content for the spoiler-free intros
I must say I like taking out the expensive (because of Air RB) planes, but my priority is to do damage then make sure I land it for a very free run! Love the intro showing much that is wrong with WT. Imagine being that map and not seeing the hill as a good spot to take (either team) and the way in which no communication on the enemy team allowed effective camping in a really vulnerable spot (from the hill you should have been toast, and the revenge bombing that is apparently inevitable, except when it isn't). At that BR and it is Headless Chicken run to the Top Tier I presume, or it's just for "fun" so why try anything?!
@@the_jingo so they can become a tryhard crybaby like you? Let them play what they want, it doesnt bother you, stfu with the 'realistic master race' bullshit, no one cares. Atleast arcade players dont go onto reddit/youtube comments to complain about the game even though the same complaint has already been said millions of times.
We're getting closer, SPGs without a turret videos now? I can think of one, I think its French, cant remember the name but it was something like "Zao 14" or something idk, I only know it's hilariously op, highly recommend you make a video on it
When the Ferdinand is top dog, she is top dog. Though her upper hull to the left and right of the gun are weak points as well, the surface is too flat, and even the american 90mm apcr can go right threw.. but suprisingly everyone goes for the shot to set her on fire these days.. which dosnt stop her from firing back.. still solid as an early sniper to cover pushes on open maps.. late games she tends to be a liability
Real life Ferdinand was outstanding in actual combat, but had severe problems with the engine system. Most of the Ferdinands that were lost were abandoned/destroyed or, I guess in rare cases, had their crew killed when they had to leave the tank to do repairs due to said engine(/tracks) and earlier models also lacked any machine gunner or peripheral vision (but had proximity support). They would engage from 3km out, and deductively, they were best on the offensive.
At that moment, Ferdinand and Ho-Ri production looked at each other, and between tears they hugged, because they knew that a cause united them. Pray for lower repair costs
Hey man. Love your vids, but they are VERY LOUD compared to everything else on RUclips. I always panic when your videos pop up in the playlist, trying to find the volume button. Rock on 🤘
For anyone wondering why the Ferdinand has such high repair cost: The M26 is at the same BR. Enough said. Meanwhile nobody can explain why the B-26 has 60 000 silver repair cost at 7.0.
Used to love playing the Ferdinand..... Now you can kill it with a big HE round, lol. Shoot the 200mm tough armor near the gun, and when the shell explodes it will pen through the deck of the tank and kill the crew with overpressure. They also need to reduce the repair for the T26E1-1. It's almost 20k, and you already had to get like 4 kills to profit beforehand.
I actually play the ferdi as a vehicle to just sit back and relax in, when it's not up tiered of course. Armour is excellent, good reload and gun. But the repair cost from 15k to 19k has left me broke. Granted a normal game in it makes me 60k easy 😂
Thankfully before I eventually bought it the Waffentrager line came out . Now if I come back to playing this instead of Crossout I'll propably just go with this line , at least the SPG part tries to make sense xD
I was playing the t55a in my 8.3 Soviet lineup on European Province. For some reason a guy was playing the Ferdi and I killed him at 1500 meters with an apfsds dart. It gave me a good laugh.

Watching RUclips for a bit, open up Odd's video, "IN THIS VIDEO I PLAY...(turns volume down to about 10% from 50%)...the mighty Ferdinand and lose 50 thousand silver lions per game using the Ta 152 c3." I love you Odd, even if you do blow my speakers everytime I open your videos, haha
Thanks Odd!
Hi Odd! I’m grinding out the German trees right now so I can switch up my Bri’ish monotony.
Edit: I, for one, really appreciate how you go to the effort to make more content for the spoiler-free intros
i hope you’re having a good day odd
I my opinion the repair costs in general for most vehicles are utterly ridiculous... In the end it limits you what you can and canot play
I think that between Ta-152 C and H, C is the lower altitude variant. Though "lower than H" obviously may not quite mean sea level.
I must say I like taking out the expensive (because of Air RB) planes, but my priority is to do damage then make sure I land it for a very free run!
Love the intro showing much that is wrong with WT. Imagine being that map and not seeing the hill as a good spot to take (either team) and the way in which no communication on the enemy team allowed effective camping in a really vulnerable spot (from the hill you should have been toast, and the revenge bombing that is apparently inevitable, except when it isn't).
At that BR and it is Headless Chicken run to the Top Tier I presume, or it's just for "fun" so why try anything?!
Can we get a full CAS vid with the 335 bawz? Or any plane that you think is pure evil?
A Ferdinand and 2 Panther A's walk into a bar.
The bartender says "Mmmm, that's the stuff, right there"
The Ferdi! High performance IF you manage to get it into position and everyone else forgets to use planes
I wish the poor Ferdinand wasn't 7.0 in AB. So many of the late-war Heavies (mainly US and German) are extremely overtiered in AB. :(
Just don’t play arcade
@@the_jingo so they can become a tryhard crybaby like you? Let them play what they want, it doesnt bother you, stfu with the 'realistic master race' bullshit, no one cares.
Atleast arcade players dont go onto reddit/youtube comments to complain about the game even though the same complaint has already been said millions of times.
They should get rid of silver lions entirely and put unlocking under xp that would be first step to make this game little less moneygrab.
We're getting closer, SPGs without a turret videos now? I can think of one, I think its French, cant remember the name but it was something like "Zao 14" or something idk, I only know it's hilariously op, highly recommend you make a video on it
love your videos oddbawz mate ! , please keep them coming !
When the Ferdinand is top dog, she is top dog. Though her upper hull to the left and right of the gun are weak points as well, the surface is too flat, and even the american 90mm apcr can go right threw.. but suprisingly everyone goes for the shot to set her on fire these days.. which dosnt stop her from firing back.. still solid as an early sniper to cover pushes on open maps.. late games she tends to be a liability
Love ur videos and narration man, always on a roll.
It’s been a while since you did your last tutorial. Any chance you could team up with Phly and do one on dogfighting?
Real life Ferdinand was outstanding in actual combat, but had severe problems with the engine system.
Most of the Ferdinands that were lost were abandoned/destroyed or, I guess in rare cases, had their crew killed when they had to leave the tank to do repairs due to said engine(/tracks) and earlier models also lacked any machine gunner or peripheral vision (but had proximity support).
They would engage from 3km out, and deductively, they were best on the offensive.
3:40,, frozen ass'', you made my day xD
Oddbawz do a video of you only speaking in Scottish banter, slang, and mannerisms Day 3
One change that will make this game so much better is to just remove repair cost or make it very low to repair
At that moment, Ferdinand and Ho-Ri production looked at each other, and between tears they hugged, because they knew that a cause united them.
Pray for lower repair costs
I think your profile pic would really stand out if the Skull there had Eyes like Eddie in Iron maiden. 💀
If you haven’t seen it he also flys world war 2 planes
Would like to see the TA 154 in a CAS game!
I love the Ferdinand so much. It's still awesome and so satisfying for me
These videos are more fun than the actual game...
Hey man. Love your vids, but they are VERY LOUD compared to everything else on RUclips. I always panic when your videos pop up in the playlist, trying to find the volume button.
Rock on 🤘
ferdinand is an underlooked ledgend
For anyone wondering why the Ferdinand has such high repair cost: The M26 is at the same BR. Enough said.
Meanwhile nobody can explain why the B-26 has 60 000 silver repair cost at 7.0.
Day 1: Play the japanese Na-to (love the unloved)
I love sending this thing back to the hangar by using my su-122-54 with its Apds rounds.
@4:41 A Fiat!
Like my dad used to say "A Fiat worse than death!" saying 'Fiat' like 'fate'
I got halfway through researching this before noticing the repair cost, dropped it instantly.
Thank you for playing my favourite plane.
YES!!!! I've been asking for the Ta152C for so long!
The repair cost is what makes me use the jpz 4-5 instead. Alot cheaper and stupid fast with HEATFS love it so damn much
odd can you play the StuH 42 G it’s heat shell is nuclear
The 2.7 light and medium tank destroyer
It'd be nice to see some American Heavy Tank gameplay, trying to get into them myself and would love to see them in action
Ah, it's the case of just not dying. It's just that simple 😃
(Its never that simple since its Gajin)
APDS and HEATFS do not care about your flat plate. That’s why I just kept using the Jagdpanther
That's still a steal for a 530 hp Porsche!
Always love the German vehicles, keep up the good work Odd!
Used to love playing the Ferdinand..... Now you can kill it with a big HE round, lol. Shoot the 200mm tough armor near the gun, and when the shell explodes it will pen through the deck of the tank and kill the crew with overpressure.
They also need to reduce the repair for the T26E1-1. It's almost 20k, and you already had to get like 4 kills to profit beforehand.
I can hear the thumbnail
"ka ching"
I actually play the ferdi as a vehicle to just sit back and relax in, when it's not up tiered of course. Armour is excellent, good reload and gun. But the repair cost from 15k to 19k has left me broke. Granted a normal game in it makes me 60k easy 😂
I started playing thunder in 2019 I advanced quite good, tofuckenday grinding vehicles above 5.7 is an eternity.
Thankfully before I eventually bought it the Waffentrager line came out . Now if I come back to playing this instead of Crossout I'll propably just go with this line , at least the SPG part tries to make sense xD
No jokes though, this thing is one hell of an moving castle. At least from the front
Day 20: Play the AR-2 in Ground RB with BT-5, SU-122, ZIS-30 and Chaika...it's so fun...
Before playing Ferd: “50,000 silver lions used to live here, now it’s a ghost town”
Man this beast is so OP
i love it when a is 2 shoots my what looks like a flat plat of armour shatters and dies to my 88mm
29:13 this is the funniest shit I've ever seen. That's it. You peaked dude.
I was playing the t55a in my 8.3 Soviet lineup on European Province. For some reason a guy was playing the Ferdi and I killed him at 1500 meters with an apfsds dart. It gave me a good laugh.
