I know you just played the kv-1c but the kv-1e is also very OP and rare. It has THICKER turret armor and is only 4.0. Took it out for the first time in months and got 8 kills first game in an uptier.
I remember a while ago, when I was a new player, I was in a Sherman 76 and there was a disabled Russian tank sitting there with no barrel and the horizontal turret ring out, unmoving, 50m from me. Front covered in bushes. No one else around. Angled like 15 or so degrees to one side. I didn't know where to shoot it, it looked kind of like a KV-85 or an IS-1 so I tried hitting it in the neck, different guesses on the turret, lower plate, probably 6 agonizing shots in a row. Then the turret came online and it aimed at me and one shot me. T-44 against WW2 ammunition is a monster. I don't know if it deserves 6.7 in the current game state, but it was very scary at 6.3. I still remember that moment out of thousands of games and thousands of deaths so clearly. It felt like shooting a Maus.
You can turret ring it I think with the 76, and turret cheeks, the turret is only about 120 mm thick. But yeah, the Sherman 76 kinda struggles vs everything. It’s not very good for a 5.7
@@nmspy the 76mm is a god tier cannon? WHAT THE FUCK are you smoking? its a fucking 4.0 gun at 5.7, the only 5.7 tank gun that can compare is the russian 85mm on the t34-85, but the sherman is twice the size of the t-34-85, and they both cant compare to the comet 1 and panther a, both of which are also 5.7 medium tanks with the comet having way better mobility and both of them having more firepower
@@nmspy my man, i like the sherman 76, but it is not a good tank. the only thing it has going for it is a stabiliser. everything outguns it, its slow, and has no armour. america 5.7 is fun, but not super competitive compared to the others
I enjoyed the little chat about bushes.. personally that is partly why I don't use them, the other part being I am playing this game because the vehicles look cool and I want to be able to see them lol. I think a good change to bushes would be that your own bushes show up in your gunner view, at least limit people from getting too carried away by there being any kind of downside to using them. That or just removing them and refunding peoples GE.
In simulator mode and afaik in the "original gunner view" they do show up, they just don't show up on normal gunner view because the camera is at the tip of the cannon and sadly floating bushes are a bit borked too
Bushes in realistic mode do cover commander sights not sure off top of my head if they do anything else . The issue with this tho is IRL you can put the bush around the optics so you have a gap in game it's a flat and tbh stupid awkward thing to place. I guess think of the premium leopards mesh camp imagine the. Bushes are that kinda stuff so you could mold them around the optics as not to block them.
I love watching bawz' content because he makes the game look easy and enjoyable. then i hop on and realise theres a severe skill gap between my level and his of play lmfao
I agree with you but I have to say I’ve gotten monstrously better by watching him play. He mentioned it in one of the videos over the last couple days, too, something to the effect of “if you watch my videos, just go where I go.” I still suck but every now and then I have a moment, haha. Got a triple kill with a bomb yesterday, felt kinda like he did in the intro.
I look at some of his tactics, using cover and terrain, then try to adapt it to my playing style, it's fun. Also gotta bear in mind, he plays a lot of games and shows us the best and most interesting of them.
@@campbellwalker6378 oh I know, I don’t compare my skill to his. But I absolutely do pay attention to where he goes and the spots he likes to look for enemies. Has made a huge difference in my results.
Thanks again Odd, great times watching these matches. I thought it was funny at about 23:30 'ish where the AP rounds/spalling take a quick 90 degree right turn to make sure the max damage was done to the German Bulldog. Glad to see that the Russian AP has some magic powers still XD
Hey odd! Question as I sit here purchasing my 3rd hoodie with your logo on it. Do you think we'll ever have a little Oddo that I can place on my tank..? Or if you can convince mikegoesboom. I'll make one by placing your logo on the space helmet... Not perfect but will work!
The T-44 is the culmination of all the lessons learned in the Second World War, and it is personally one of the BEST tanks I have ever used. I adore it. But I have a tip: ALWAYS use BR-367. It is the best ammunition. I don't know why so many people don't use it.
@@theranger7924 precisely! It is always a good idea to use the X-Ray view in combination with the WT Wiki to determine the ammunition rack order so you can take only the minimum load.
Really loved it at 6.3, still a beast at 6.7 .Man i love this tank. Pretty sure this is my most played one, maybe a t34-85 as a close second. Love your videos Odd
you should check out the t26e5 at 6.7. It still absolutely destroys the ww2 vehicles and unless its a 7.7 uptier it still does surprisingly well. I got a 15 kill nuke in it in a 7.3 uptier.
I'd love to see you play the B7A2 in ground battles. With the 4x60kg and 2x250kg loadout and it's bomb sight you can get 4 kills on pretty much any tank as long as you are patient. And the you still have 2 20mm cannons. I fell like it's kind of underrated.
had a game few days ago in 6.7-7.7 and it was just me and my squad mate with 299 SP left and 1 of the 3 bases capped on the same map and we carried it so hard while they had 1700sp left we just milked them. probably one of my best games ending with 12 kills on my side and 9 on my mates.
This reminded of one game I was playing t-44 in an uptier with Germans on my side, I had a really good flank and lots of kills but my teammates kept spawning Stukas and feeding one guy easy SPAA kills until he had enough for a nuke. I was so disappointed in the ability of German players as teammates...
Imo the best medium in game when played correctly, got decent mobility, can bounce and if u know how to get at to the side/behind ur enemies there shall be a bloodbath :D
I realize this video will be two years old tomorrow (oddly enough), but The T-44 family have been bar none the worst tanks for me. It's exceedingly rare that I survive any encounters in this thing. A significant portion of my games (just over 83% of my last 253 games being either 0.7 or 1.0 uptiers - when I started keeping track) with the USSR have been uptier games. The active flank playstyle, when I attempt it, very frequently falls apart on me as I encounter two, three, and not infrequently four T32 variant miles from the objective staring directly at me, hull forward, leaving me to pixel hunt for the tiny (and inconsistent) weakspots, with a three second longer reload while they have a to whom it may concern shot on my turret and lower plate. I find myself playing exceedingly conservative in these things, sitting way in the backfield, or way off in a corner picking off the occasional one or two tanks I see (I'd wager that I average less than one kill per match). So much so to the point that the USSR line post 5.7 has genuinely been a boring chore to play. Even still, I'm well far off breaking even in K/D with this thing.
100% with you on the bushes. I'm kinda getting used to them now, but as a newish player who was trying to grind through 4.7 US where your whole lineup is Shermans and you have to be scared of almost everything, getting sniped from across the map by a fucking tree you looked right at was particularly heartbreaking after you spent 5 minutes lumbering out of spawn. Literally nothing you can do except die and start over.
This thing used to be pretty obscene at 6.3. Even at 6.7 it still is faster than it looks and bounces way more shells than you'd think. Just a shame that there's no proper 6.7 lineup for the soviets so it mostly gets left as a backup for higher BR lineups.
it was not obscene. I used it and fought against it. If your enemy is a typical german main than its a problematic opponent yes, but if you have 2 braincells its an easy mantlet shot with weaker guns.
what how is there no 6.7 soviet lineup? it's like super good...even better now with the new obj 248 from the battlepass... there is the obj 268 is also incredibly strong and can oneshot anything and bounce every aphe and is also kinda multirole with the massive turret 14.5mm hmg with 90° elevation. the 6.3 like 2S3M and SU-122-54 do also well with the usual like IS-2's...there is nothing i'd whish for more now that there is a 6.7 heavy tank
t44 was kinda ass honestly the gun laying was terrible its armor wasnt great and the pen was meh the t34-85 did everything the t44 did AND was like 3k repair cheaper trolly armor still died to the same crap but didnt have a 7 second long bounce up and down and up and down when you hit the brakes so you could just shoot people.
@@Supermann124 you can't use premiums to justify a line-up, as they are not accessable to everyone. Also you can't use tanks that are a lower BR, as the fact remains, they are not at that BR
Odd: "I wish I was good at this game" **proceeds to be at the top of the team in like 95% of his videos and would be terrifying to meet on the opposing team in a match for any of us**
I love the t44 the only problem is that if you have to aim on the move or have to brake and fire the cannon takes too long to be in position where I want to shoot
Great games. The way you manage to stay alive in those up-tiers vs tanks you can't damage is impressive. When you look at the team list screen at the start of a match you often say it's an up-tier or down. Could you please explain how you arrive at that conclusion?
Yo OddBawz, you said Leo Pard early in the video, did you pick up that from a tank documentary where an American tank historian referred to the leopard as a Leo Pard? My brother and myself have been quoting that for years!
In all the years I've played War Thunder 1/3 of the T-34 and everything after the T-44 feels like it's made of paper. Basically everything penetrates it, even from the front, even more in the turret.
Here's a tip gamers, if you see a t-44 on a rampage, and you have CAS, their roof is only around 4mm! That means even German 7.92mm can go through at lose enough range. Not to mention American and German 20mm, which will shred them from the top.
There are still people whining about the nerf to 6.7 on Reddit. It's hilarious how badly some of them play and still do okay with the troll armour saving them.
#OddBawZ at 13:50. When you call artillery, you get less accurate the further you call it at. So if half of the reticle is in the spawn and the other half is outside of it, you can artillery spawn. But it's pure RNG for it to hit.
Bushes should be flung off if a shot hits or if it fires if the bushes are on certain parts of the tank. Would actually balance that crap out. I have the same thoughts about tracks for armor. Anything just strapped to the tank should be possible to remove through any kind of shot
You are aware that here in the real world, while the T44 was an evolutionary step in tank design, the tank itself was s deeply flawed mechanical disaster. Less than five hundred were built before it was superseded by the next tank in line
The bush thing also pisses me off like wtf, should only be able to put on 2-3 MAX imo, and last time i checked blasting the outside of a tank with a 152 he round should blow all those clean off
Is the extra penetration of the BR-367 not worth the explosive filler you lose by not using the 365A? Still seems to oneshot just fine. The high angle pen is only slightly worse, too.
from my experience, mind you this is a couple of years ago now, the extra penetration against flat plate is better then the explosive filler you lose per shot. Not too mention that this thing is most definitely best played as a flank and spanker. Not necessarily a head on fighter. For tiger 2s, the apcr is pretty bad, but it does give you an edge against them that they normally wouldnt expect.
Explosive filler doesn't matter much. Caliber is responsible for most damage. IMO, flat pen of 367 APCBC is clearly more worth it than better angled pen of 365A APHEBC(flat nosed).
365A has hidden lolpen angle values in the shell from before the volumetric patch. You can frontally kill a Jumbo with that shell within 100 meters. That's how dumb that shell is lmao.
@@ideadlift20kg83 Testing this in protection analysis, 365A does indeed appear to go through the Jumbo's UFP, unlike the 367. If the angle isn't >~10°. Though, at 100 metres, missing the machine gun port is unlikely. Whether that's worth losing 30 mm of pen at 500 m and 0°, I sort of doubt.
If that has an 85mm it'd be a real challenge to balance. They'd have to put it at at least 7.0 to be above this and using an 85mm at that BR would be rough.
@@Ws_minion It also got HEAT-FS, so that would probably make it easier to balance. Its basically the weapons system of the Object 906 on a T-44 chassis.
Hardly played the T-44 since it was moved up. The gun feels borderline useless at 6.7 and since it was the first 6.3 tank I got for Russia, I don't have a lineup to go with it yet, whereas I had feasible backups at 6.3
The t-44 moving to 6.7 was the finial decision by Gaijin that made me leave warthunder, this video gives me hope! (I might or might not be getting back into it 💀)
"cant shoot through wood.." sitting here like bro, thats a stack of railroad ties.... your round wouldve made it like halfway into the stack and likely detonated.... APDS or APFSDS maybe?

I think the gun and the optics really kills this amazing tank. If a tank has shitty 3x fixed sight or something i pretty much refuse to play it.
T-44 games tend to be tough, you have to "earn" each kill. Idk why it went up to 6.7
In all the years I've played War Thunder 1/3 of the T-34 and everything after the T-44 feels like it's made of paper. Basically everything penetrates it, even from the front, even more in the turret.
Here's a tip gamers, if you see a t-44 on a rampage, and you have CAS, their roof is only around 4mm! That means even German 7.92mm can go through at lose enough range. Not to mention American and German 20mm, which will shred them from the top.
Shhhhh don’t tell them that
@@spadehaze1541 oops hehe
Everyone gangsta until the T-44 gets a two-pane stabilizer
15:39 - What the hell is that tiny thing with the normal sized turret on it?!
why it was so wierd is because it was like a low tier match in a mid-high tier game
It's like total Bedlam
Tanks and games like these is what makes me now want to keep researching higher than 5.7 Germany
So… what if I told in 29:18 I was the sdkfz 251/21???
There are still people whining about the nerf to 6.7 on Reddit. It's hilarious how badly some of them play and still do okay with the troll armour saving them.
7:25 dude, you literally got a nuke with a bt-7
Ahahaha Right ? This was his weirdest battle in the BT !!
I just un-locked the the T-44 and it is honestly one of the best tanks I have ever played with. Even stock, it's a monster!
thx for playing my fav tank
back when this was 6.3, this tank got me a nuke EVERY SINGLE MATCH. it was AMAZING and it still is, even at this br, is still a BEAST
Good story, never happened
As long as I keep getting 90% up tiers I'll KEEP my bushes on.
25:32 you would be surprised how often that happens to me dude
#OddBawZ at 13:50. When you call artillery, you get less accurate the further you call it at. So if half of the reticle is in the spawn and the other half is outside of it, you can artillery spawn. But it's pure RNG for it to hit.
It's not an OddBawz video if he don't stuck on the corner of the building at least once
After years of playing (mostly air), I recently went to rank 5 in the ussr tree, and I gotta say, I was missing out. I really enjoy the t44 100.
That thing is a beast as well as the is3
I'm just here for the deep tractor pull lore.
The T-44 is peak ww2 soviet tank aesthetic in my opinion
First vehicle I ever gotten a nuke in. will always and forever adore my T-44
I think I remember a video where you said never go for the c point on the first map. Only A & B
Bro the king tiger at the beginning💀
T34 killing a Maus, a vision of 1946 we thankfully didn't see
Bushes should be flung off if a shot hits or if it fires if the bushes are on certain parts of the tank. Would actually balance that crap out. I have the same thoughts about tracks for armor. Anything just strapped to the tank should be possible to remove through any kind of shot
how dare you good sir. the centurion is peak ww2
i feel bad for that maus .... he just got into battle and bam gun out, that's basically game for him
I wish I got dopamine from something as simple as playing a game.
My absolute favorite tank in the whole game, I miss when i could oblitera 5.3s with it
Great video again Odd! Can you play the Type 59? Attempt 2
You are aware that here in the real world, while the T44 was an evolutionary step in tank design, the tank itself was s deeply flawed mechanical disaster.
Less than five hundred were built before it was superseded by the next tank in line
The bush thing also pisses me off like wtf, should only be able to put on 2-3 MAX imo, and last time i checked blasting the outside of a tank with a 152 he round should blow all those clean off
6.7 And here i was wondering, why I struggled with this thing in the tiger E...
T-44 is an excellent vehicle. And patiently waiting for gaijin to give us the T-44MS with the improved engine and HEAT-FS. Then it would be perfect.
Is the extra penetration of the BR-367 not worth the explosive filler you lose by not using the 365A? Still seems to oneshot just fine. The high angle pen is only slightly worse, too.
from my experience, mind you this is a couple of years ago now, the extra penetration against flat plate is better then the explosive filler you lose per shot. Not too mention that this thing is most definitely best played as a flank and spanker. Not necessarily a head on fighter. For tiger 2s, the apcr is pretty bad, but it does give you an edge against them that they normally wouldnt expect.
Explosive filler doesn't matter much. Caliber is responsible for most damage. IMO, flat pen of 367 APCBC is clearly more worth it than better angled pen of 365A APHEBC(flat nosed).
365A has hidden lolpen angle values in the shell from before the volumetric patch. You can frontally kill a Jumbo with that shell within 100 meters. That's how dumb that shell is lmao.
@@ideadlift20kg83 Testing this in protection analysis, 365A does indeed appear to go through the Jumbo's UFP, unlike the 367. If the angle isn't >~10°. Though, at 100 metres, missing the machine gun port is unlikely. Whether that's worth losing 30 mm of pen at 500 m and 0°, I sort of doubt.
@@mynt253 Phly daily frontally penned a Jumbo in one of his T34 85 videos where he wanted to showcase the 365A shell. Even I have done it.
a teeny tiny bit late but one Maus is well...a Maus, and two Maus would be called Mäuse (maeuse)
Gaijin should add the T-44S, its this tank with a 2-plane gyro stab.
If that has an 85mm it'd be a real challenge to balance. They'd have to put it at at least 7.0 to be above this and using an 85mm at that BR would be rough.
@@Ws_minion It also got HEAT-FS, so that would probably make it easier to balance. Its basically the weapons system of the Object 906 on a T-44 chassis.
I would hope for it to be a modification
Hardly played the T-44 since it was moved up. The gun feels borderline useless at 6.7 and since it was the first 6.3 tank I got for Russia, I don't have a lineup to go with it yet, whereas I had feasible backups at 6.3
Other than the gun (and gun depression), it is the best WWII tank in the game I think
T-44-100 is one of my favourite tanks
I still can’t believe how I took a tiger two p with cobra king frontally. Ik this is not really relevant but I am shocked
This thing and the Obj 248 deserve to be 6.3 at most, and I hate facing most Russian vehicles.
9:02 i say that every single match i play
"I'm so bad" gets a nuke in the BT-7.😒
Who remembers when you could shot driver's view port on upper front plate.
The tank has a better shell than the one you used/displayed, it has around 150+ meters of pen.
I wish I had paid actors in my matches
The t-44 moving to 6.7 was the finial decision by Gaijin that made me leave warthunder, this video gives me hope! (I might or might not be getting back into it 💀)
Looks like someone has been watching Military History not Visualized
I like to put bushes on my ikv 103 it became almost ghost in green terrains
"cant shoot through wood.." sitting here like bro, thats a stack of railroad ties.... your round wouldve made it like halfway into the stack and likely detonated.... APDS or APFSDS maybe?
Pretty sure the 85mm can pen the rear of the hull on a Maus as its about 150mm thick.
