Oh just a heads up, this video has been "Finished" since last Wednesday, updated Thursday, and released today, so some of the Dev info might be outdated.
Thank you and do enjoy the Chaos featuring the angriest german :D
Man im struggling i have the aim and i cant do anything i have played over 1000-2000 games of 11.7 russia then i got an aim thought why not its so bad with out KE-W
The gun is inaccurate 5:00 tell that to my pilots cranium
Hey I just got the Clickbait and I'm only level 22 and my highest is 7.3, but tbh I'm getting more kills than the level 100 players😭
Hi Justin, can you do a video on the T-80UE-1? I just purchased the vehicle with your 3% discount but I am fairly new to 11.3 environments, can you teach me a few tricks?😂
Clickbait was a huge mistake for top tier 😢
That's a fact, but I still don't know why Russia got so bad so quickly
@@BrazilianSoldier too many ppl using the 292 without knowing what they are doing, kinda the same effect that the CB had.
The field is leveled. Now that NATO tanks have reliable hull armor with the addition of spall liners, it makes the weakness of USSR top tier tank that much more noticable. The only tank with spall liners in the ussr tech tree is the T90M and it's objectively WORSE than all of its equivalent rivals.
Edit: Good players just figured that NATO tank is better in almost all metrics. So they switched @@BrazilianSoldier
@Khatz507 yeah, they using 292 on 11.7. I meet them in almost every fight.
Any top tier premium is a mistake.
Don’t worry, the f-20 will throw the one death Andy’s RIGHT back into top tier. No escape
I hope most people will reconsider that 75 bucks 😭

play arcade, problem solved. much more fun anyways
Call me a meta slave but I just couldn't take it anymore and started grinding Sweden last spring. I've finished building a 10.3 ground lineup few weeks ago and it's amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on those Strv 122s. Quality of gameplay is so much better on Sweden when you don't have a whole bunch of braindead XM-1s, KVTs, Wolfpacks and A-10As on your team. Things are about to get worse with the addition of hairy Leopard 2A4 next update but hopefully I will be at 11.7-12.7 when that drops.

"Just bring SPAA to counter Heli!"
Japan: 22:50 Riiiiiiiight....
Honestly I think Helis were one of, if not the worst additions Gaijin ever added to the game.
Heli is the ONLY CAS I cannot tolerate
Tell me about it. I love the Type 81 but I've struggled to get it to lock helicopters outside of 4km. It's ridiculous. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it makes me mad.
Not to mention half the time you can lock and hit them and their broken damage models prevail and they still kill you and can repair -_- @@SprayandPrayman22
@@SprayandPrayman22 the thing with helis is that they have a modification specifically for this purpose. The shield exhaust. Idk if other helis besides russian ones get it, but i did notice that without it, i got locked on further away than if i had that equipped. Logically, it does make some sense, it reduces the heat signature of the engines, so it makes it more difficult for the seeker to see the engines.
Premium players may have made the winrates go down but they werent the problem with USA, the Abrams is shit compared to almost every other MBT it faces due to its horrendous armo; thats the actual reason. Unfortunately there's nothing Gaijin can really do to make it better beyond giving US crews modeled flak jackets and modeling the turret basket in the vehicle to absorb spall a little.
Ariete
It’s both the US tanks AND players, more players than tanks, but the tanks aren’t helping the issue. Any US heavy game is 25% minimum 1-3 deaths no kills leavers(Normally 40-50%) on my experience, and sometimes all the way up to like 50-75%.
The Abrams has its problems that need rectifying, but I’d take it over French and Italian tanks in a second as well as Israeli.
It’s the players and the tanks. I say this as a U.S. main vending Russia with a completely premium bought and 292 10.0 lineup.
Abrams are equipped with ceramic composite skirts and add-on armor that can stop all APFSDS rounds except for Leo2a6’s. Abrams are also equipped with spall liner. Gaijin just doesn’t want western tech to win is the problem.
@@Aidan-fw1xrit doesnt have spall liner irl but it seems likely that it does have DU armor on the hull and sideskirts
DU on the hull and forward side skirts would help, so would modeling the turret ring the correct (smaller) size and giving it the actual 250-300mm of overlapping steel it has irl. its safe to assume that irl the armor is somewhat more effective than in game but it does lack a spall liner.
When ever the new update about USA come, the USA will get it's return
I was grinding USA originally, but the sherman was suffer, not that suffer, so i switch to UK, because I saw that JustinPlays said that chally 3 TD is good, then i grind USA again bc the op SPAA, light tank. UK is good but not good for beginner
BTW "The Americans are FINALLY Becoming "Balanced" - War Thunder" does that mean it is not that bad now?
Drone Scouting should give at least some amounts of points... I dunno, maybe 1/5 of the kill if something in the vicinity selected dies? Maybe more people would use it for a change, and actually be helpful for some teams.
For fucking real, I love helping out teams with my drone, just sucks when you are the reason everyone is winning but get fuck all in return for it.
@@PolaroidPopsicle Yep! It feels really unrewarding when you finish a game in which you helped a lot - but ended up with super low score and very little gain. It's like - Gaijin forgot that people need to grind in their game.
Such ability would give reason to spawn strike drones as well and give them an actual use.
There is a way you can but you aren't that effective as the result and it's much more work. If you are in drone ping the target and then swap back to light tank and you can scout on your own ping through obstacles and then swap back to drone.
The amount of times I've scouted for half the match and then talked down on that same match because I "wasn't helping" any from just looking at the scoreboard was crazy.
@@profferoll7119strike drones are absolutely cancerous. For some reason, they tank damage better than a heli and they can just be used for revenge CAS, which is the most annoying form of CAS. CAS is annoying overall, but revenge CAS specifically is just infuriating. Scout drones i can tolerate as they mostly buzz around and scout you and your team. Yes, they're annoying too, but not THAT annoying as the strike drone. At least if they made it not eat SAMs like it's nothing, i wouldn't have a problem with them.
If you want real fun, play the America 11.0 lineup, you see turms, 2a4s, 2s38s, and object 292s, which are all easy kills with m900 and m829a1
Yes I agree with this, m1a1 dominates an 11.0 downtier
i love how i finally get the SepV1 and the F-16c, and justin releases a vid on american top tier. wonderful timing justin
Only way you can do well with USA at top tier is to have a 12.7 jet, that eliminates the chances of getting qued with clueless clickbaiters, that's why it's so enjoyable but it's too bad the F-20 is coming as a premium cus now the winrates there are about to drop even more. 💀
I was gonna say this lol. Now you can’t escape them, not that I ever would cuz I don’t play air so my air is like 6.3.
@@DefinitelyNotBlackOpalDirect I don't have any top tier CAS either cus I don't like it.
It's really suspicious they released the SEP v2, which is functionally worse the and sep v1 with no functionally different adds other than the useless mine protection.
Wdym?
Gayjiggle release somewhere around 60 vehicle annually, ignoring new tree.
Due to how they run the company, at least some part of the player base will shit on them regardless what decision they made.
Now this is gayjiggle options.
1. release no vehicle and everyone shit on them.
2. release new vehicle and some people shit on them.
3. release a functionally same vehicle and some people shit on them.
Option 1 is the cheapest but the most damaging.
Option 2 is the most expensive but less damaging. Option is cheaper than 1 and probably less damaging than 2.
So sepv2 it is.
@@jintsuubest9331so they just went ahead with the t-90m and gave the US not the v3 but V2 alright.
the PSO is the worst leopard 2 but you dont see german mains weeping over their keyboards about it.
Rare footage of a good teammate using the drone
Justin, the fact that you like the viper more than the apache makes me happy inside.
7:22 I feel like you forget to zero in your sight at times haha.
got to love it how u can teamkill with a bomb but not with a tank
Eow, Abrams still are paper tanks with no armor upgrades and decreasing mobility, No new 120mm anti ERA shells, No M900s for the 105mm tanks, still no Anti-radiation HARMs to deal with Pantsir, Still no Fire and Forget Hellfire MMWs for Longbow Apaches or AH-1Z and still no decent answer to never miss R-27ERa, yet they quietly nerfed the AIM-54 turn rates without announcing it.
Even with AIM-120s coming, it won't help much. The snail will buff Russian copium claiming all soviet radars and missiles will never lose lock, track better and fly faster. US will still a struggle in 2024
Glad my Aircraft teir is complete....no need for the cash grab F-20.....even if I was curious to try the super Tiger......
yes bro i js came back to watch you and youve almst hit 80k. I remember when u had 40k xD
I don’t know if I’m late but it seems the leclerc got a buff to the horizontal turret traverses speed. I thought it was 17.9 stock and now it’s like 23.8.
@JustinPlaysTV I don't know if you know this, but the apaches got shadow buffed when the new RWR was introduced. It now detects launches from all beam riding missle platforms, including pantsirs. It still may not be able to detect IR launches, but it is a lot more playable and technically has a partial MAW. I think you should definitely give it a try!
but the pantsir's missile is Saclos .....
how tf does it detect that
Hey justin, random question , do you know shinedown, and if so then whats youre favorite song?
Leclerc SiXX is my go to tank in top tier.
what's that decal near the commander's hatch?
I’m curious why you don’t have the AIM? It has gen 2 thermals and the round is still 599 max pen. It’s essentially just another m1a2sep where it matters. I think you’re missing out by having the ipm or HC and not the AIM.
What’s up Justin
The Abrams is very good, just massive skill issue in ground RB, lucky I dont have this problem since nations are mixed in ground AB ;)
21:54 were you looking for "thread the needle" justin?
12.7 Jets in GRB will be history in April/May. The jets for GRB will then be adapted to the tanks.
Example:
F-16C is 12.7 it will then be set to 11.7 in GRB but will remain 12.7 in airbattles.
So you will no longer be matched 12.0-12.7 in GRB
Lets hope the M60-2000 doesnt dissapoint Justin and everyone once the update drops (ive waited long enough for that tank to be added in wt)
The tank in game is 120s, not 2000. They are different vehicle.
Anyway, the event m60 is like 10.0 or 10.3, this thing will minimum be 10.3, but more likely 10.7. Depends on the engine it gets it is going to be drive like m1a1 or a worse m60.
Best case scenario, you get a downgrade m1a1. Worst case scenario you get a m60a3 with m900.
@jintsuubest9331 its the 120mm gun, so it wouldnt be m900, it would be m829, and if they choose to keep it m829a1
@@jintsuubest9331 the M60S in game is the M60 2000 they are the same mbt The only reason why gaijin calls the M60 2000 is cause of public pictures of M60 2000 cheek armor says M60S and the fact that general dynamics Land systems company calls the mbt M60 2000 or M60S
Plus there is only one M60 2000 ever made
And I wish the M60A3 TTS got M900 but it doesn’t sadly
Hey Justin,
I have always loved the merks in wt and have never really had a good chance to get to them in top tier. I’m partially grinding the helis for the us so I can get the black hawk and the 1z. Is Israel a good nation to play right now. I would most likely be playing the raam but I don’t wanna buy it if they are trash lol
Can you still not remove the TUSK kit from the SEPv2? I thought they'd acknowledged a report someone made showing SEPv2s deployed without the kit as proof it should be optional. Frankly, like you said, the v2 is just worse than the SEP with more overpressure magnets and extra weight that can't be removed.
Man, can you please do a short video of your Graphic and PostFX setings?
Why do I always team up with USA while playing sweden? My wr dropped from 78% to 60% in a day
You make warthunder look fun again until I open the game 😂😂
"CAS is OP" meanwhile: 16:13
Bcuz it is.
@@Stanczyk996 it’s really not lmao
Big fan 🔥🔥
When I go in wanting to do cas I don't die even when I try to suicide into their spawn. When I want to just do tank stuff I get clapped up fast lol.
4:20 you're finding the f-15 performs better than the f-16 because the f-15 is just a better plane
i still have a little over 35% winrate over the past few days for US even tho my kd is 1.3
22:03 The phrase you are looking or is "Thread the needle"
The minute the F16C went up to 12.7 my quality of gameplay skyrocketed. As long as Gaijin Keeps Premium tanks below 11.7 I'll be happy.
you should switch out the ipm1 with the AIM, it has gen 2/3 thermals
and now every click bait will use f20, get to 12.7 lobbys and will shit the win rates once again :/
how TF do you not get instantly 1 shot and survive so many shots? you have youtuber magic damage model. this is bs.
abrams tanks dont preform like that, you look at them and they explode.
I never noticed USA bad win rates then again I only play arcade battles and I managed to grind most of all the USA top tier. Except the m1a1 hc line
30:20, To your point as to how bad American teams were, my winrate in my Type 10 & TKX plummetted from 58 & 56% to about 48%. It was rough man.
Click bait is a big issue but in general the Abram’s is just worse then the other mbts that it goes against
Typical flat brainless us main thing to say. In a top tier meta where you armor doesnt matter yall cry for armor😂 yall have like 5 tanks that can play at top tier and theyre fast. Try playing britain then complain
I find the armor for the abrams protects it sometimes which is about as often as it works on every other US medium tank in the game. It does fine, LFP definitely needs a buff on the SEPv2 at a minimum as we know it gained weight there
The tiger shark will now replace the clickbait
how do you mark in yellow the enemies?
Squad markers, I bound it to middle house wheel.
Next maj : abrams 0 second realode
Yay gonna buy me a clickbait and quit when my tank explode
one last USA top tier video. day 29 of asking Justin to play the HKP9
Personally I feel the 12.7 aircraft doesn’t really help at all.
Where do you see what gen your thermals are?
There are some fan-made resources but ultimately you judge based off how crispy the image is when using the thermals in game. The lower the resolution, the lower the generation of thermals. Crispier/higher res = higher gen.
You open your eyes and use them
@@Stanczyk996 ah yes. Thanks for this useful tip Mr. Keyboard warrior
Still waiting for the balance
Nothing was fixed... top tier US still horrible
its not, stop playing realistic will solve the problem lol. Mixed nation teams in arcade drastically increases the win rate ^^

lol you didn’t feel bad at all for bullying the PzIIC
14:05 lmao ghost rider

Your friend have a cool voice!! 😂😂
America has never been unbalanced. The real problem was the 'AmErIcaN pLaYErS™'. Once they just bugger off, it will be no problem to enjoy a stress-free experience with the one of the greatest tech tree in this game.
Why won't guy-jinn just mix all nations in all matches?
Do you consider replacing the IPM1 with the AIM?
AIM is stronger plus gen 2 thermals but the IPM1 loads faster w stock crew and ammo is sort of similar so just have both
@@CatsAreAmazing8187 it literally doesnt load faster, all abrams have a 5 sec reload aced and 6.5 stock now
@@CatsAreAmazing8187 it doesn’t load faster anymore, it’s just straight up worse in almost every regard
@@Optimusprime56241 yeah which is why I was wondering why Justin didn’t replace it with the AIM in the line up
ERA/spaced armor only works for Russian/German vehicles. The rest is just window dressing that don't effect any ATGM/HEAT warheads like they should.
amount of times i get killed by a wolfpack is not even funny
120mm loaded faster than 105mm . great ballance
The 105mm and 120mm Abrams have the same ROF now, it's just that you need a certain crew level to max out reload speed, so ROF can vary by crew (but with crews of equal lvl the ROF is the same).
Nah when I hit the driver port on a T-72 in a ClickBait and somehow only kill the engine. Also give the damn Abrams their spall liners
Abrams dont have spall liners
@@thiefysteals1845 Except they do, they arent physically seperate from the hull but integrated into the layers of composite and a coating on the interior of the tank. Its basically the same style of SL for all Nato tanks but then again the Abrams armor isnt even properly implemented in the game so why should we expect them to give it a spall liner
When the update goes live in a few weeks, could a video on the M60-2000 (Or as it's called in game, the 120S) be possible?
Edit: 5:31 Raiden Ei doing the PUBG version of the 'Rock 'n Roll' meme. One more Justin, you're a certified weeb classic.
Inazuma shines eternal!
Gaijin needs to buff turret ring armor on the abrams, or give them a3 round to bypass all era
Stop crying american main. Abrams is fast tank which is the most important thing in top tier but yall still crying stfu try playing britain
If you can’t kill a Russian tank that has era that’s a skill issue

My trick to playing USA (and most other nations to be honest) is to not go above 7.0-7.7 MAX. Anything above that it starts to get just worse and worse
Not with swedish tank tho
@@annguyenlehoang7779 sorry I don't play Ikea lol. I play USA, Germany, UK, France, China and fuck around with the ussr. What I said is true for those ones for sure. Top tier is a lure to a trap that is a 50-70$ premium tank so you can get faster there but that locks you in playing in that shit fest because otherwise you're going to feel like you wasted your money even if you're not having fun and doing terrible.
@@advan0s well i agree with u . i play soviet and japan . some usa . german and italy ( a bit ) japan and italy is really tough but i prefer japan more . wish they add korea next with them . they lack so many tank . soviet for me is mid not bias as anyone clam to be
Funny how irl every old Abrams m1a1 destroyed in Ukraine has taken multiple hits to knock it out for good and those being truthful reviewing them talk about their toughness. Their crews escape and hulls are intact even after ammo rack. Meanwhile Russian mass produced tanks get 1 shot!
Hey Justin lmao, want a laugh? go look at the new Israeli AH-60 (Black hawk version), it gets a chin-mounted gun, 16 Spike ERs and is just a beast of a heli... and it sits at BR 10.7 as of right now... or 0.7 lower than the MH-60L DAP.... which gets NO cannon and no FaF missiles... because "Gaijin balance" lmao.
Just wait Justin until that f-20 will become into live server same problem will appear again for Americans... Just saying.

No just top tier... every tier
All i know is the turret ring from ALL Abrams needs to be reworked 😒 even auto cannons can pen through it pretty easily 🙂
Bro stop complaining. Autocannons can easily go through so many tanks like type 10s and leclercs and arites. All Abram’s players do is whine and is so stupid they have a better tank than many nations. Just get good at the game

@@zenitu6914 read what I said again bozo, and put emphasis on "PRETTY EASILY"
This is a request and a rightful one. Yesterday alone I was one tapped on 3 different occasions by a 2S38. This would be ok in my eyes if my HSTV-L could do this just 1/4 of that time but it can't. Why is that you think? It's got a bigger shell with better pen and doesn't one tap any major nations MBT outside of the random times they may be damaged already. Why you think that is? Be part of the solution and not part of the problem yeah. Unless of course you don't like to play on even playing fields. Yes I said it
@@zenitu6914
It's not the turret ring itself but the breach getting disabled every time a shell pens. It can be in the back and still damages breach.

"The ADATS missiles are still superior to the Roland missiles or the VT-1s"
You can just say that the ADATS missiles are superior to the VT-1s, comparing the ADATS missiles to the Rolands is like comparing .50 BMG to a nerf dart, Rolands are crap right now against any plane that's being piloted by a pilot with braincells. The only time Rolands work consistently is against helis and drones, otherwise 90% of pilots will easily dodge the missile.
to be fair, if you put the clickbait in the hands of a quick learner they don't stay a premium player for long in the grand scheme of things, in 200 hrs with a click bait I got my self to top tier, hate me all you want. (edit: i now realize that that's not the problem)
