In relation to the spots, I've seen people clearly and tried to spot and it doesn't work, but I press the spot button behind a wall and it does work. Absolutely broken
Scouting in War Thunder is literally the men's paradox of the Ketchup in the refrigerator door and the Opala 69 in a cluster of a zillion old cars from 6 miles away of distance. It's not a bug, it's a ingame recreation of this feature.
Germany 7.0-8.0 is probably some of the strongest and most fun vehicles at the BR range, somehow the team mates still make it incredibly hard to enjoy sadly but the RU 251 is a gem and i wish they had it in the tech tree because of how good it is.
The entire series based on the Ru251 chasis are extremely fun to play, since they all share the mobility. JgPz 4-5 actually I would say is even better, since it's so low, and has amazing optics.
I wasn't around during that time, but I was playing when that thing was was still 6.7 and Germany still had a monster of a 6.7 lineup as in sla 16 tiger 2 and normal tiger 2 and the 105 one the Panther 2 and the coelian j tiger and ru 251 and anything else that Germany had at 6.7 at the time
It was 6.7 back in the day and was added alongside the IS-6. It was one of the few thifngs that could reliably destroy them, but sometimes both nations would be teamed up together and it was a nightmare for the rest of the nations. Not very fun times for those not driving them i gotta say
Great vid, a nice couple of games ❤ How about you go back in time and try the forbidden German lineup? Tiger II 105, Panther II, and the coelian? Might be a bit easy, but a good for nuke games perhaps
Probably my favourite tank and I've definitely played it more than any other tank I own. If someone was going to buy just one premium tank this is the one I'd recommend
@@Robin-sf3gk I play both and Lekpz M41 is a great tank and you can use them in a similar way but the RU 251 is significantly superior. I often have them in the same lineup. The RU 251 has a lower profile, is a fair bit faster, handles a lot better and importantly has a 90mm cannon rather than a 76mm cannon. Note the RU 251 has a reverse speed of 80k/h vs 19k/h which makes a big difference.
one my favorite tanks, start at 5.7, was a nightmare there, moved up to 6.7, was still a nightmare, moved up to 7.7, was still playable then for some reason it got moved up to 8.7 till gaijin went on their MBT spree and now it's finally sitting at 7.0. In other words this was Germany's version of the hellcat saga.
Ok, it's getting scary with you. Yesterday I looked through your videos for some Ru 251 footage and watched your older ones. I thought it would be great if you could make another video on this and today you blast out this awesome gameplay.
OddBawZ speaking in the Spookston American accent is the most cursed piece of audio I've ever heard. Therapist: American OddBawZ isn't real, don't worry American OddBawZ: Warthunder has a scouting problem
This and the prem KT is how I grinded out the german ground tree to 9.7. Plus with fastcap and the Unicorn Me262, I ground out the air tree to 8.7. Miss the glory days of German 6.7
i do agree spotting is very inconsistent and annoing in WarThunder. like you aim right at a enemy 400m out from you on the open field: nope not spotted, here is your penalty cooldown. meanwhile enemy 1200m out behind 2 trees and 3 bushes and only 10% visible: spotted! (the scene happened many times to me and oftend exactly as described and with the same tank)
How many times the RU 251 brought me to Top 3 rankings is countless. It’s my numero UNO tank to start any game in the Deutschland tier ( being the only tier I play haha)
I am convinced that gaijin is aiding youtubers effectiveness. No heat fs round that I've ever shot has 1-killed any MBT or medium tank... None. And I've fired thousands over the past 11 years. Another thing. You guys seem to have magically magnificent aiming, as you guys seem to aim a -5° depression gun over hills hitting people at much lower elevation. Not saying that you guys aren't skilled by now, but you have had a helping hand from gaijin. 11:14
One benefit of being a German main is that enemy teams tend to underestimate German teams, I’ve noticed a marked increase in spawn camp rushes in games where my team is all German as opposed to a more mixed bag on my side. Maybe just me but it’s pretty consistent when I play.
@@savescuttlecrab5227 You can't steamroll russia only in specific ratings. Specifically, 1.0 is where everyone kills everyone easily (But you have more people in the tank, so you survive more) and 4.3 gets you on T-34-57 playground where tables turn and they get to treat YOU the same way you treat them all the way (Hit anywhere and it's a crit). At the late ratings, you get a choice of ammo which deals with all the threats, but at the same time you get vehicles that are virtually immune to one ammo type when playing against soviets. So, finally, you get to learn about ammo types, which is stuff all the other peeps forced to do much earlier.
2:25 Ugh, I'm grinding Sweden, and I keep getting paired with Germany. I'll go 10 matches getting absolutely curb-stomped, and then the first match that I'm *not* with Germans, Victory. And I'm saying this as a recovering German main.
Few guys in the discord were chattin. German tanks. So many great vehicles that could be downtier, but thanks to the stupidity of team mates, the BR goes lower or stays put thanks to statistics. We checked a lot of userprofiles in the few hours that we played. It added up.
thank gawd, im so glad its an actual issue with scouting the amount of times i scout on someone for it just to say place crosshair on target, and im like bruh
1:00 I was 0/4 on very very easy scouts yesterday as well. You know why? Because my daily task was to get the Intelligence streak, so of course scouting was broken...
One of the only tanks i have bought more then once, its 90mm heatfs just nukes tanks and if you mess with the condition of the brown camo you can make it look like its destroyed for some sneaky plays
6:02 that's me in the AMX M4.. Saw you fire at the T34 and thought I could go around and smack you in the butt but you're too aware. I called it a night after this game..
You were scary. Actually knew what you were doing and playing 4D Chess. If you had one more team mate I would have been done! The fact I had a tiny shot through a random window is just really unlucky, too!
i still LOVE this tank together with my full linup and i can mostly carry the team even if i would only par the RU 251 with a AR 234 C-3 its a wrecking crew :P
its so stupid how gaijins logic says the HO-229 can fly with no vertical surfaces, yet a normal plane with a rudder can lose half of it and then it will sit and fly sideways back and forth like a frizbee like there are no vertical surfaces whatsoever.
If you don't like one death leavers, take it up with the snail. The leavers just lost SL on that game, and spawning in again will most probably just lose them more. If the 🐌 wanted people to stay in the match, they'd reward people who stay in the match.
Sometimes i feel like playing a single tank, no line ups no nothing. Just a tank and that's it. So i do leave after 1 death from time to time i won't force myself to play just to please others.
if you are so bad at the game that you cant afford to spawn more than 2 vehicles then the game probably isnt for you. Also most one death leavers are doing it in Premiums especially german players, your repair cost is nothing stop the cope
I've come to find out that no matter what with the scout system, if your looking right at the enemy through a building/3rd person, then suddenly switch to commander or gunner and hit scout, 9/10 times it pings people, it feels almost like your doing a aim bot on others but I guess it's gaijins way.
HEY! No upload yesterday, sorry! I had a pretty bad migraine but we're back at it at 3am on a Tuesday morning! Haha
a-ha! 'tis but only Monday in north america so you nailed it anyways if only by technicality
Hi oddbawz I love your videos and I will agree that tank sucks to go agents
I just sat there hitting "Ctrl+F5" all night with salty little tears leaving clean streaks in the chimney soot all over my face. Glad you're okay.
Its ok m8, you made it if you go by US time
In relation to the spots, I've seen people clearly and tried to spot and it doesn't work, but I press the spot button behind a wall and it does work. Absolutely broken
That Spookston impression was spot on and after he sees this video he will wait a few months to recuperate after you embarrassed him like that. 💀
*insert leon from re4 having a stroke with funny sound effects*
What's the timestamp?
1:05
@J.G. Wentworth lack of brain cells
@J.G. Wentworth Maybe was skipping to the gameplay part and missed it
Can't believe Bawz picked up a pocket Spookston in like a month
HE’S BACK!!! The legend! Only gone for a day but I missed it so much!
My favorite part of my day is being able to come here and watch Oddbawz
That spookston impression was gold 😂
This is 0.3 BR higher than the Type 60 ATM.
The heat post pen damage on ru 251 is impressive. Most heat shells take 2 to 3 shots or more to kill a tank.
Old post pen model. Probably not updated.
Premium Heat shells ;)

That whole spookston bit had me laughing real good haha
I was going up the US tree when these first came out and they were everywhere. I died oh so many times in my T34 to these guys hiding everywhere
I wasn't around during that time, but I was playing when that thing was was still 6.7 and Germany still had a monster of a 6.7 lineup as in sla 16 tiger 2 and normal tiger 2 and the 105 one the Panther 2 and the coelian j tiger and ru 251 and anything else that Germany had at 6.7 at the time
The most ridiculous thing about the ru 251 is that it can be behind your spawn, killing your team, before your team even gets close to a cap point.
It was 6.7 back in the day and was added alongside the IS-6. It was one of the few thifngs that could reliably destroy them, but sometimes both nations would be teamed up together and it was a nightmare for the rest of the nations. Not very fun times for those not driving them i gotta say
I can't believe OddBawZ dissed his boyfriend at the very intro.
Truly a madlad.
I have to clarify that this is of course a joke.

Same! Easy grinder too!
Is it really better than the Lekpz M41 seems to me like they are almost the same

That stab at Spooker's absolutely wonderful! Laughed my ass off on break at work! 😂😂
You’re right about the RU251. My son bought me one for the holidays (back when it was new). Never used it.
Was getting worried! Hope you feel better.
I remember when this thing was one of the fastest tanks in game, casually get to the enemy spaw just as they are getting to the first cap zone.
i do agree spotting is very inconsistent and annoing in WarThunder. like you aim right at a enemy 400m out from you on the open field: nope not spotted, here is your penalty cooldown. meanwhile enemy 1200m out behind 2 trees and 3 bushes and only 10% visible: spotted!

Amazing Spookston impression!
Thanks for brighten up my day with another great video and a great Spookston impression keep up the great content thanks Odd!
HAHAHAH THE SPOOKSTON IMPRESSION. Man I love both of yall and hope yall keep being on friendly terms 💪💪❤. Also great video, keep up the good work :D
The spookston impression 😂
It really sucks when you see “lost connection with the server” during a brawl.
How many times the RU 251 brought me to Top 3 rankings is countless. It’s my numero UNO tank to start any game in the Deutschland tier ( being the only tier I play haha)
這台坦克其實就是當時 WWII 豹式的後繼型態
算是為了取代主戰坦克的地位， E-50的變形體
雖說是冷戰的坦克，但是設計初衷更接近輕型偵查坦克
Tankenstein just did a video on the QF 3.7 in. Ram, and it was fun to watch.
Think we could see it here too?
The spookston impresssion had me cracking up xD
Odd with an American accent doesn’t exist, he can’t hurt you.
Odd with an American accent:
After playing Germany top tier for a long time I went back to 9.0 with premium Leo l44 and dam I forgot how good it was if played right

5:10 I am stuck, Stepbrother!

As a T-29 commander, I have chomped down on many an Ru-251 with that trio of Ma Deuces. You are wise to fear it!
Dam OddBawZ, you can make a decent Murican accent when you want to. Can't wait to see Spooky Scottish accent.
"We're not made for brawling! We're made for trolling!" These are words of wisom right here!
30th episode of kindly asking OddBawZ to please play that one tank i really would like OddBawZ to play
Oh, yea, the RU-251 was so hated when it came out. I loved it! Still a great tank.
1:04 you went from OddBawz to oddballs
Hahahaha
Has coral sea finished reworking? Haven't seen that map for a year
giving that kill to the enemy bmp was some beautiful sportsmanship
“Bless me, I didn’t fart this time” this is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day 😂
if you run a squad of these its a 100% win rate for your team. its too good!

"I didn't fart this time" lmfao
A lovely combination of good light tank with danger dorito today. Thanks!
thank gawd, im so glad its an actual issue with scouting the amount of times i scout on someone for it just to say place crosshair on target, and im like bruh
Jeez, the exhaust effects make this thing look like it's powered by a coal engine or something, smokey as hell.
I once run into a ru251 in the corner and thought its over, but I pen it on front using btr-zd ap shells ; )
Glad that you're back enjoying the Olympic Pool with waterslides than the Inflatable Kiddie Pool.
+10000 snail credits! 😊👍🏼
Perfect for good ol Odd 'straight to spawn' Bawz
Hey dude, do you have the BF-109Z? That thing is an absolute demon for anti-CAS at its BR. Would love to see you make a video on it with the KV-1C :)
I always make sure to huff as much paint as my local hardware store has in stock before playing Germany to be the second smartest player on the team
1:00 I was 0/4 on very very easy scouts yesterday as well. You know why? Because my daily task was to get the Intelligence streak, so of course scouting was broken...
spookston server hac confirmed 1:05
Should play AGS again, so OP
Speaking of Leopards and HEATFS slingers, it would be amazing to see you play the AMX-30's
Didn’t know this tank existed but I got the rare camo from a box for it and I might pick it up on the next 50% GE sale
Back to 6.7 gaijin. I want to re-live the glory days.
My fav tank in the game.
With the br change it is even beter now then ever
That Spookston bit had me rolling
One of the only tanks i have bought more then once, its 90mm heatfs just nukes tanks and if you mess with the condition of the brown camo you can make it look like its destroyed for some sneaky plays
Is it a better leopard or is it just better period?
yeah, 70% is of the time scout either doesnt scout the enemy and goes on cooldown or it doesnt work at all and i have to press it again
6:02 that's me in the AMX M4.. Saw you fire at the T34 and thought I could go around and smack you in the butt but you're too aware. I called it a night after this game..

hey bawz, did you solve all the problems w the pc?
I was sleep talking about OddBawz and Spooks last night, when I dreamt about meeting him accidentally in an airport.
still playing it mostly, ru251 to cap, then die fast, then me262 jabo aka invincible when not up tiered. thats how I roll
You say this like it stopped at some point.
Great video as always keep it up
The spookston impression was so good lmao
This evil tank grinded me out so many german tanks. Best buy.
That airplane shot was dirty lol
This is the only Tank i managed to get the points for a Nuke so far. Iam an avarage player id say
I love the RU-251 it’s a mini blaster and is a blast to play
Bino scouting seems to work better than scope scouting for some reason.
Awesome gameplay Bawl.. ru and m18 are my favourites. Germany suffers unless you're playing caraid
Fantastic little beast of a tank
i still LOVE this tank together with my full linup and i can mostly carry the team even if i would only par the RU 251 with a AR 234 C-3 its a wrecking crew :P

The jerma rats movie reference was incredible

The fix could be as simple as no repair costs for your first spawn.
Yep its that simple, I think we've all been in that position where we die once go "this match is unwinnable" and take the crew lock L
Or give like 30% of repair cost of the dead vehicle in SL for respawning.
Sometimes i feel like playing a single tank, no line ups no nothing. Just a tank and that's it. So i do leave after 1 death from time to time i won't force myself to play just to please others.
