How nice from Gaijin that they don't want our money
It's the greatest discount they had! I saved money by spending 0 dollars in it.
@@KenMochii relatable
It’s just petty from gaijin to not put the most popular packs in sale
We dont need more of those pay to win tanks
I wanted to buy the Leopard 2(pzbtl 123) because I'm too bored of grinding mid tier germany, having finished the entire soviet ground tree i have experience with top tier but gajin just had to screw me over.
@@075.-.-g9They just said that they finished the Russian ground tech tree, why would they get the T72. Plus it's not on sale either.
They typically wait at least two major updates after releasing a new pack before allowing that pack to go on sale. I'm frustrated too because I was intending on purchasing the F-4S Phantom II Pack, but I'll just have to wait until the next big update or so for it to go on sale.
Petty? Gaijin owe you absolutely nothing, they decide what to discount, if anything at all. You should be lucky that they even give such generous 50% discounts in the first place. So many self-entitled babies crying about this.
As someone that has nearly 2K hours on this game, i can really recommend the French Somua. What can i say, 4 seconds of reload, great 7.7 line up and the armor is not that bad. You may struggle in up tiers but other than that, an absolute beast of a tank
In my personal opinion The Somua is by far one of the best Premium tanks at 7.7 line up. I couldn’t agree more with this comment since I feel like not a lot of people know the true potential the Somua has got it’s BR
Somua is truly a beast of a tank. Then once you get your tech tree up to 7.7, You get the big brother in the Surbaisse. Along with another 3 tanks with 4 second autoloaders as well.
The 7.7 french line up is great rn. All autoloaders now reload in 4sec (except the 13-90 and 50 suby), with f84g, a decent strike jet or you can take the f4u7 (beware of 8.3 spaas, they will shred you).
only issue is that, that 7.7 lineup currently runs into mauses that u cant pen at range/an angle, AND runs into br 8.7 full uptiers where their pen + lack of laser rangefinders and lack of apfsds, really hurts them(most 7.7´s has that issue mind you) but the french with ONLY athe autoloader as their advantage, kinda dosnt do that well vs highly armored 7.3-8.3 tanks, and 8.3-8.7 tanks with stabs and the rest i mentioned. In downtiers they are awsome dont get me wrong, but 7.7 gets uptiered into the 8.7black hole a LOT atm.
Got my first nuke on somua yesterday. Best premium tanks by far
To me the best thing about the CV90105 isn't the mobility or reload rate, it's those crystal clear gen 3 thermals.
it not only nukes the high tier premium BR range with it's spam cannon, it also sometimes for no fucking reason just doesnt want to die. i hate this ass tank so much.
My absolute favourite is the TAM 2IP. I love that tank. I would highly recommend it for anyone who has played higher tier and has some experience in the game and who iss looking to grind the german tree. It quite mobile, it has 105 DM33, an excellent round for its 9.0 br. Sadly it doesnt have thermal, but for someone who has played this game a bit, it won't be a too big problem. Ofc it has laser rangefinder, great reverse speed, -7 degrees of gun depression, suprisingly effective armour aganist some autocannons and HEATFS shells, but since it has its engine in the front, people usually just shoot the engine so you can fire back at them.
I really really love that tank!!
poor survivability, getting to the down of the list we play against Turms and Chinese ZtZ. they kill tam2 in silhouette
The Su-25 is actually an formidable fighter
According to my service record i almost got a 2 K/D out of it.
Just equip 2 gunpods and the R60s and this thing becomes a beast against other planes.
Not so much now due to the higher BR and that you mostly fight US-teams full of OP F5s but it can still hold its own if played right.
Sad, no money for gaijin this time
I bought the Merkava Mk2D today and I fell in love instantly. Great bargain along with the 365 day premium.
Best choice. Same here. And the Merkava fits perfect to my Israeli 9.3 Lineup 😌🤌🏻
@@chemix3813 I already grinded Sho't and the Rank 4 SPAA vehicles. I'm a Germany main and I have all top tier MBTs unlocked there, but I got bored with the Leopards so now I focus on Israel.
A dissatisfactory event that gaijin didn't put those most popular vehicles on sale
the most recent packs are never put on sale lmao, its what theyve done for years
@@kingderpington6082the turms and pzbtl 2a4 arent recent now are they?
@@nightwing268 Nope, they only said vehicles from the last 2 updates and the Leopard and Turms are well over a year old by now. Gaijin have saved me so much money this year with their greed.
Surprised there was no Turm III mentioned.
I considered it, though it was a tough pick. Should have done a top 10 xP
not really new player friendly
It's got to be either the Somua SM, or the Turm III. Both vehicles are an absolute menace on the battlefield. If you want a French premium that isn't as high br as the AMX-30 Super then the Somua is definitely the pick.
Honestly i just wanted the Leo 2 PzBtl 123. But since they for whatever magic reason decided not to include it...And the same goes for all other nations where many packs were not on sale....
Well i just went with the Leo 1 L/44.
They probably dont want everyone running around in top teir premiums. Especially people just grinding right through a tech tree. Thats my guess
@@kamilm6616 pretty sure its any packs released in the 2 most recent major updates, its been that way for years
@@kingderpington6082 buddy, t72 and leo2a4 had been on sale for years, and yet they dont sale them on their own birthday
Hey, I have seen you crushing it at CAS gameplay. I tried to replicate it but my keybinds wont allow me to switch so fluently between weaponry or guidance modes.
Could you do an entire keybind/ setting guide for us? One where you explain your reasoning perhaps?
Search up “war thunder plane weapon selection” and you will find out how to get smooth switch between weapons and so you’re CAS is good.
As someone who played the french tree a lot if you have the money and courage to join us in the dark side where you'll receive gaijin hatred on full power, i would recommend for your grind :
- M4A1 FL10 = 180 mm of pen at 5.0 on a 5s reload, you go through absolutely EVERYTHING frontally (not jumbo) even at full uptier, is-1 & tigers = cheese for you (i still use it in my 6.0 line up so it works until 6.7-7.0).
- Somua SM = good armor for a french tank, 4s reload on a 100m at 7.7, french use solid shot so you will rarely one tap enemies but who cares, you'll have the time to reload 2 times (3 shot in total) while in front of you the guy will have fired once only, also auto reload = even if your loader die or fire need to be put out you'll reload faster, it's nice & easy, even beginner will have a good time since mistake are not that impactful.
Little tips, french tanks don't play the same as the other nation, you'll need to flank a lot (dw all your tanks have nitro :) ebr at 5.3 goes 105 KM/H) and have a good aim since solid shoot (aim for crew, gunner / loader etc) and lots of sniping (no stab until very late in the T.T but you have almost always the better optics)
And if you want a bit of a more traditionnal War T tanking experience, the PANTHER DAUPHINE a french panther as simple as that.
Also unlike Justin i wouldn't recommend the AMX-30 Super, sadly it's just not worth it, at the same BR in the T.T you have both AMX-32 105 & 120 with the famous 20 mm coaxial & 2 plane stab, it's just much better tanks especially the 120mm and the 9.3 lineup is horrible and not worth your time to invest in (you have 3 tanks & 1 spaa no mephisto since 9.3-10.3 you'll meet ERA every match)
to grind to top tier, just play the AMX-10 RC and flank / snipe, good optics with good mobility & good ammo just no stab but you don't need it for sniping and you have pneumatic suspension (low rider style) so hiding behind hills is very comfortable.
Also the lineup you'll have the most fun are =
5.3 m4a1 fl10 & sa-50, ebr 1951, arl-44 and amx-10 (good spa),
(6.0 only a good lineup if you have the panther, you have panther, elc, ca lorraine, m36b2)
7.7 somua sm, lorraine 40t, chat 25t, amx-13-90, amx-50 foch
8.3 amx-10 rc, amx-30 1972, 30-acra, 30-dca & mars-15 for rat lovers
11.7 when you finally have the leclerc
Honestly I 100% agree Prem time over everything!
- Its the best grinder for SL no matter the skill level with a 50% boost across the board
-It increases modification research rate for all tanks and aircraft aswell as navel if your into that
- no matter how bad a game you have you have Net 0 income (meaning you can never lose SL for playing the game)
And lastly it doesnt lock you into any tech tree to play and you can play what ever the hell you want to!
Side note Justin T-55-AM1 is probably my #1 pick for a prem too! Not an overpowered tank but just a great jack of all trades that avoides the hell pits that is known as 10.0
I bought the t-55 and cv-90105 using your disscount link :)
T-55AM1 is life
Id personally suggest the leo 2 (Pzbtl) its just a leo 2 but done up. This is more of a veteran pick as it is just a reskin of a wonderful vehicle.
Gaijin casually deleting half the french naval premiums 💀 (Btw they're only 2-3 months old. LOL)
ello justin, grandpa here.
keep on trucking bud, great video as always 👍
What are your thoughts on the VBCI MCT 30 getting bumped to 9.7 so that it doesn't fit on the French 9.3 line up anymore?
Isn't that basically a wheeled unmanned turret cv9030?
It walked straight into the warm, loving embrace of the AMX-40 for a 9.7 lineup.
I still think it should be 9.3, but its really not suffering at 9.7 either.
It's got a different chassis and different turret but yeah, same gun.
the worst anniversary sale they have ever done. I was gonna buy 5 packs but non of them where on sale, and aint no way im paying full price for any of them. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
6k hours in the last 2 years of play so take what i say with a grain of salt but my best thing for grinding was using the free lower tiered reward from doing the free parts of the battle pass and using those premiums to grind up to a decent rank until the reward doesnt benefit, and in doing that youll get access to warbond dollars to get your choice on another premium from the warbond shop. ive gotten most of my premiums that way and although not all of my SL comes from them since i play alot of other vehicles i am constantly in the positive for SL and was at 15 mil before the 50% sale and i bought things that were expensive and i waited to get during a sale. this has been a good early grind to get into the mid tier vehicles since late game high tier is already a grind as is
AMX-30 Super , if you want to grind france.. VERY GOOD Vehicle.. and if you new player.. please buy the TIGER and DONT BRING FULL AMMO
The tiger 2 h sal is also a really good pick for Germany. I still play it even tho I have top teir in 4ish nations including Germany. Grate way to relax and earn more money.
It's not on sale though
I would recommend the ZTZ96a (P) to anybody looking to grind out the chinese. It has a similar playstyle to the T-72, but imo the armour is better because it can bounce DM33 120 much more effectively than the TURMS (excluding its LFP). I picked it up a few months ago and obtained a comfortable 1.5 K/D after 500 matches, while also having nearly 70% of the chinese ground tree completed.
Last time they used to have discounts for every pack, even those cheaper ww2 vehicles, which are very strong, now they are never discounted.
Hey im wondering wish microphone setup are you using?always enjoy your videos
The T-55 AM-1...I love it! It's the Sherman of "low" high tier!
I still don't get it. No sale on TURMS-T or Leo, like what is going on???
king tiger not even for sale smh...
Wait is it not?!
*Edit wait no its still there.. Weird
I've been thinking about grinding out the Chinease ground tree after almost reaching top tier air, is the ZTZ96A (P) MBT a good pickup?
Yes. It is basically a Chinese TURMS with a better turret traverse and it's more or less your best bet for grinding the Chinese ground tree unless you want the WMA301 instead.
@@icy3-1 Well the WMA301 is full price again so maybe another time for that one
why is there no discount on the leopard 2 pzbtl on sale? same as m1 kvt?
never knew justin was packing some firepower of his own
Why there is no discount for some vehicles like A6E ?
How long does it take for the premium account to show in your game.
Was gonna be an idiot and spend $120 on 3 premiums, not gonna pay full price. Their loss
I need to remember to use your code for the decal xD.
But big sadge at this sale with how the snail has a bunch of vechiles not on sale that should be
Tiger ii is not on sales. Also T29.
would you say the uss moffet is worth buying for grinding sl?
The 2s38 is fun vehicle
Tiger didn't get a discount
It makes me very sad, I was looking to get the king
@@carlosmedina3794 Same, got the turm instead
Not putting the most popular premiums not only made me quit cause i was bored and i was excited for the sales to buy something they also lost much money
What do you think about the XM-1?
And don't worry im not a new player i have top tier russia x)
Better purchase than the kvt imo. Its armour isn’t great so you should think of it as an light tank in an mbts body. Still have it in my 10.0+ line up and it still works
He has a nerve shell, now he has a penetration of about 290mm at 0 meters, he has very random damage, absolutely no armor, but there is a good speed (but there are a lot of wheelers on this rating), so it's probably better to take Abrams (if there is a discount on him, like he came out 2 updates ago, after la Royale there were the Sons of Attila and the Kings of Battle)
And sorry for the bad English, I wrote with the help of a Google translator)))
Update: They did not make discounts on abrams, but it surprises me that they did not make discounts on other very popular prems (turms, leopard 2 and others)
Justin in videos= my advice dont buy premiums
Justin now= THE BEST PREMIUM VECHILES😂
the mig and the US F4s is not on sale ??
What can I say ? The T-55AM-1 is my first and only high(er) tier premium and it eased my into the MBT era quite nicely. Cherry on the cake : there's an exteeeeeensive choice of 8.7 in the USSR tree to complement it. You can talisman some of the others to make the ultimate top tier grinding line-up ever given to mankind.
The AMD-1 is a copycat that I love for its ATGM/heli trolling capabilities thanks to the APS (you trade the composite turret add-on for it)
Obj 435 and T-62 : the gun is disgusting and its stock shell is its best shell sooo... No laser rangefinder but who needs to laze when the shell flies flat over a country mile ? Don't let the flat pen fool you. The stock shell is better. Period. (angled pen and spalling)
IT-1 and Shturm (the weird estranged brother...) if ATGMs are your thing. I mean I heard they can be really good but I just can't... ATGMs are not my thing. IT-1 can launch while on the move and has stabilized aim I guess... And armor !
Obj 685... I was disappointed at first coming from the 906... But then I unlocked the APFSDS *and* laser rangefinder as fast as possible and it absolutely made the tank. Fast enough, low profile enough, the reload is a letdown compared to the obscene 906 but in the end is way fast enough when your shell can one-tap mostly anything way beyond a kilometer. Also gets the annoying scout UAV.
So yeah : T-55AM-1, no-brainer for high tier USSR grind.
I will give some explanation from my experience i started freshly with starter pack US tech tree after reaching 8.0 i decided to jump into grinding ussr tech tree bought t-55am-1,turms,su-25k was my best decision in the meantime i gained enough experience of understanding of armour penetration,shell types etc. if you are new please don't rush thing forwards it's not gonna help anyone you just gonna be driving meat thats all i can say don't worry in the meantime you will get enough gaijin sales believe me speaking from experience.
Justin…you’re slowly becoming Michael from Vsauce…
Haha he needs to start doing the pop up into frame like Michael
Where is the f5c, tram, a10, turm etc. the best packs are not on sale, wait until Christmas
how can i get the justin decal? i play on ps5
I was surprised to see many packs still at regular price but I also find this to be a blessing in disguise and don't be offended, this sucks for those of you who can play these vehicles but the majority who buy then are absolute trash so if it make even a small difference that's alright with me. Also, the gane will have sales again during Christmas so don't lose hope.
Is the pack sale not available on console, because I can’t see it yet
Only Playstation
My man makes good videos and has good taste in firearms. Mmm yes jolly good.
Greetings from Russia! I'm glad that you recommend not to buy top tier tanks for beginners, although it would be beneficial for you to do it with a referral system. And I completely agree that the T-55AM-1 is very good - it was my first premium package tank, because I was tired of playing on the default USSR 7.0 tanks. T-55AM-1 fully justifies its cost (excellent shells and armor).
Dont forgett the Leopard 1 L/44. This thing smacks at 9.3.
Leo1a5no better I think
Ah yes lemme use a Norwegian tank to grind germany@@Boringhuman420
@@Boringhuman420 the 120mm feels better imo
I mean, it's entirely dependent on what country you want to grind
@@theDarkside798 ngl they're just like the same since 120dm13 vs 105dm33 so
Justin how’s the mirage 2000?
Tiger 2 isn't on sale lmao. Neither is the Leopard 2A4. Would have been two easy purchases for me as Germany is my last big TT to grind.
Gaijin dont put this bcs they know they are so many people who wpuld buy it on full price bcs they are most wanted packs, leo2 pzbtl, a10 pack and more. Thats why
The Tiger 2 isnt on sale doe?
Very early, do you think i should use the j35xs for the swedish air tree grind?
This is what i'm thinking to but i dont see any plane in top what i want so much. I wanted to buy a10 for usa or mig21 lazur for germany to grind air tech but they didnt put it on sale so i dont think i will buy something
The J35XS is your best choice for grinding to top tier in Sweden however the draken flight model got nerfed a while back and the XS version only has 12 large flares and at that BR you will get missiles flung at you constantly.
Leopard a1a1 L44 is good for german tech tree grinder
How im supposted to grind German airplanes if there is no high BR planes to buy.
Wait until Christmas/New Year sale
@@bpop2148 will Azur be 50% off ?
I'd recommend the Vrcc
How's the Type 16 FPS?
My favorite wheel tank in the game. It has the best Optics and thermals of all the wheel tanks in the game. If you play light tanks well you will great in it
but the round was nerfed@@matts2208
I love the Rooikats, so just might grab it. Been meaning to grind Japan anyway..@@matts2208
very gud
You get 3rd gen thermals for both the gunner and a commander, a .50 cal, and wheeled vehicle mobility. The only (perhaps subjective) issue with the Type 16 FPS now would be the fact that Gaijin incorrectly nerfed M735 which is its top round, and it does not get the better Type 93 APFSDS round unlike its regular tech tree counterpart.
And now we wait for the new bloods and fresh meat. We feastin' with this one >:)
I still dont think the Super or L44 deserves 9.3
Honestly, people may have been bummed out that TURMS is not on sale but you should not buy it anyways. Why?
1. The teams: TURMS is the everyone's go to while grinding Russia and the problem with that is there are a lot of inexperienced players at 10.0 in possession of a near top tier vehicle. Not only that, most of them quit after dying once. 2S38 suffers from the same deal.
I feel sorry for tech tree 10.3 Tanks like 80B and 73B3
2. T55 AM1 exists. At 8.7 Russian teams are extremely resilient because they have such a massive lineup. Around 8.0-9.7 actually.
If you ever played around those BR's you'll realise that games do last long and it is really hard to defeat Russians. They are really prone to making comebacks at that BR.
Justin already made vehicle's introduction so I'm not going to but please consider T55AM1.
Edit: 2S38 going on sale showcased how terrible 10.0 can be for Russians.
I wanted to give it a go at its own BR and see how it does but I forgot about the sales and won like only 2 games out of 10. I personally uptier 2S28 from 10.0 to 11.3 simply because of the teams. I have so much more fun.
dont bother yourself for bad comments brother, you are the best.
I do love an SKS but that Krinkov is nice too. 7.62, 5.45, or 5.56?
7,62x39
@@Milkslaps Nice. Live my 7.62 Krink
bro TURM III is the most funny vehicle of all time
Used justin 3% link in GE sales, going to use it again
How long will the sale last
About a week I think.
Edit: Don't feel super pressured to buy something right now since there's probably going to be a Christmas/New Year Sale
As a console player I can’t utilise the pack sales

Best premium British tank for grinding?
Khalid
Rooikat 105 is good, I don't have it personally but I do have the tech tree variant which is slightly worse but it's done wonders for me
Rooikat 105 and Challenger DS would be my personal picks
I'll second Khalid or Rooikat 105. The Challenger DS is good, but you have to deal with top tier BS as well.
The Tiger 2 (H) isnt even on sale...
Nah that was my mistake. It usually is, hence why I mentioned it
NO TIGER SALE GAYJIN WHYY😭😭😭
U can just 50cal the cheeks on that cv009 light tank with a t-34
Amx 30 is ok bat, its 9.3 75% you play 10.3😐
i suggest not buyinge any tanks at all and go with premium instead.
is it chinese SKS or Soviet ? )))
Let me guess no console discounts?
Console doesn't get access to packs I believe, the GE discounts were active last week for console players
@@bpop2148 we do have packs
Why do we get GE 50% off and not get the pack sale , playing console really sucks because we never get the pack sale👍🏻
@@marley6580 few years ago we did but not ever since
This sale is just bad.
Shouldn't they minimize the grind?
Maximize your grinding potential.
Listen I picked the title at around 1am alright, no going back now!
@@JustinPlaysTV I thought that this was meant, so don't worry :)
Day 10 of asking Justin to play mid tier in wt🎉
You mean minimize the grind, right?😂
i would recommend obj 120 but its not on sale bcs fuck players i guess
Get the Tog
Nah Israeli merkava is the best premium tank in this game , I've got nuke 4 times already after playing 1500 hours of game play , Israel was the best tech tree , say all you want about being incomplete, yes but the merkava is the best tank
dont give gaijin any money, they dont deserve any

can you play the m103 sometime pls
Hi
amx 30 it's worst high tier premium in the game.
Did you have pants on for this video?
Nope!
