A 4.0 TANK WITH A TOP TIER SHELL - IKV 103 in War Thunder
Ойындар
The Ikv 103 has been dropped in battle rating AGAIN! When the Ikv 103 was came along with Sweden it was 5.3 due to the fact it could research a 400mm pen HEAT-FS round that could send a King Tiger straight back to the hanger with a single shot.
This time around, it's been dropped to a SUPER low 4.0 BR! I wanted to play it to see how it faired! :)
Who doesn't want a ridiculously powerful HEAT-FS at 4.0???

You'll definitely enjoy it then. I play it just like the 72, making use of the fairly low profile and extremely good depression, and it was insanely good at 4.7. I had no idea it was so disliked. You do have to be quite careful as your gunner can easily be killed, but you should already be playing it careful since you dont have any armor

To be fair, this HEAT shell should have folding fins so the collision diameter should be more than 105mm.

It's great but 5.0 is the worst BR for open tops imo; the only decent anti-air is the R3, and everyone plays it as a cap rusher tank destroyer like the m22, not an actual anti air. And because it has armor that doesn't stop .50cals
That sherman got gaijined 17:44 , the molten core of the heatfs bounced inside the tank
That last game was incredible. Had me on the edge of my chair the whole time. Awesome vid, Odd.
11:33 Does Odd not know you can hold Alt and mark on the minimap, even after you die? I’ve saved lots of teammates doing it! You have to be quick but it’s possible!
I've had chemical rounds go through fences and similar (very common when using the pt-76 for me) since the update that lets them. I think they didn't implement it properly and while the shell seems fine visually it is a dead shell and will just ghost shell. Very cool snail.
This tank is absurd and so fun The gun depression takes away all of my depression
New sub, been loving the battles and some of the bloopers as well. Keep up the awesome work.
This tank strikes me as having Sturer Emil-ism. Where it could be tiered down and just keep getting worse and worse the lower it goes right down to Reserve because it's gun already overkills stuff at it's original BR, it couldn't even survive a French Reserve tank's gun, stuff has more mobility (mostly just due to there being more light tanks) and lower tier tanks tend to get lower and lower reload speeds compared to it.

I love this thing. It's great getting into location and quickly and ambushing the enemy. Not a great street fighter, and definitely not a good toe to toe fighter, but great for sitting and peaking over a hill and clobbering enemy targets. Good modeling how this little tank is pushed back by the force of the gun firing. Well done.

Nah I love street fighting on Sweden map with this thing. I did ring around the Rosie with a tiger for a solid couple minutes and won

Used to play this game a lot, when tanks were introduced. And simulation were playable. Now the grind is too much. SO! Thanks for uploading these videos, much liked from here. Thanks.
yeah the large round hitbox makes sense since its fin-stabilized, whether or not the fins catching on a tree would set of the round tho is a different matter
I love this little critter-tonk.
That the heat-fs shell detonates if you fire it next to a tree is kind of accurate.. the fins on the shell unfold after leaving the barrel and they can get pretty wide
bro thank you for making a vid on this tank i main this thing and get like 5 kills every game in that one tank it's glorious i love you bro.
11:20 you can also mark on the mini-map by pressing left alt key and klick on the miniature minimap
I have been waiting so long for a new video on this.
That is the most beautiful construct I have ever seen
I had a good laugh when oddbawz plane flatspins.
Maybe they modeled the fins on the actual HEATFS projectile. That might be the reason the volumetric is so scuffed.
That last game looked like fun.

@@OddBawZ Yeah but there wasn't a flash to indicate that clipping the tree triggered the HEAT if the server had judged it that way. And the vapor trail went all the way to the target. KInda both, maybe double ghosts, the server just said, "Nope", and the client went, "Uh...... how about a tree?" Typical weirdness in the way WT handles asynchronous events.

"Basically it's a HEAT shell as well as a High Explosive" I honestly felt the brainfart resonate with my soul. No hate I would likely do something goofy like that too but it cracked me up because HEAT is High Explosive Anti Tank lol :) love the content tho OddBawZ. You help rekindle my love for this game.

I’ve still been getting the occasional ghost shell especially with the M18
How have they managed to change the BR multiple times while not fixing the shell’s model?
hay odd i was wondering if you could do a challenge? it would be to kill as many 2s38's with the SAPHE round on the begleit. i found out that by hitting the turret with the SAPHE you can overpressure it... love the vids they always bring a smile to my face, keep up the amazing work.

Like the IKV72 when you have it crabbed up with the gun at -15 the effective armor is something like 80mm. You can't even angle down far enough in the hanger view armor pen view to see it. lol

Funny thing is, when I was really wet behind the ears with War Thunder, this tank actually taught me a lot. Not through success mind you, but quite the opposite. I hated the IKV-103 then, but I love it now.
I love this thing. Glad to see it get some love
Every time you upload i immediately stop everything and watch your videos, it always brings me joy and happiness, i also learn a thing or 2 that make me a better player even after 3000 hrs of gameplay! So please never stop uploading (those days when you had broken PC was dreadful NGL)
I feel like 4.7 would be the actual best BR for this thing simply, so that it doesn't trivialize armor so easily (facing this thing in a Soviet heavy is annoying as hell). But honestly, I feel like 5.3 was the perfect BR for it, because come on, many things at those BRs sacrifice mobility and turret traverse for armor. Hell, the M-51 is 6.0 and it performs very well at that BR, this one is a tank destroyer with absurdly good depression that allows you to straight up not even look at enemies and camp on hills without a worry over getting shot. It's more situational than the M-51, but it excels at that situation alot (that is if you don't have objects in your way).
The L-62 has some NASTY SAPHE belts with 66mm of pen that literally one shot anything I love it lol
i love that warthunder actually added swedish to the game as for me it makes it very much easier to understand
Last game: best player, about 25 achievements, a lot of kills, final blow, etc. Gaijin: best I can do is 1000 sl

Low tier and A21 is great, especially for CAS, and SK60 and SAAB are great too. The J28/29 kinda all suck, true, and so does the J32/34, so ABSOLUTELY go for the A32 and use that to grind your Viggens and Drakens. High tier air ain’t like America or Russia, that’s for sure. Otherwise, Sweden is pretty great at every ground BR except for an underdeveloped mid-late tier, 5.3-7.0 ain’t great, but once you hit 7.3, it’s honestly one of the best at the higher BR. The SAAB is great, I used it to grind literally every vehicle in Tiers 5 and 6 until the A32

J22 is a good fighter, but sweden's ground attack is utterly awful until late midtier. Now that Finland has the Buffalo, it's actually possible to play low tier ground pound
Made it in time. Perfect.
In fairness this ridge on the Finland map is absolutely made for this tank
The BMD-4 that things ATGM is bugged also when firing at planes with it and they seem like they just go rite threw the enemy plane.
105mm shell in 4.0 is crazy
it's almost 3 am but i gotta watch this
I guaranteed it's not the round diameter that's bugged. I stopped playing with HEAT for the most part because of it popping prematurely on everything it gets anywhere close to. I've had countless rounds explode on things it should've clearly flew past.

I was soooooooo excited to get this thing. Then I tried overpressuring things with its HE, which never works. So I tried its stock HEAT and more often then not it does nothing either. And then I unlocked the HEATFS and slam my head on the desk when T-34's and KVs just eat the rounds. No other vehicles do it - the IKV's bug just highlights a "bug" with these two cheat-mobiles.
Great videos i was wondering what nation I should focus more on. I am at 7.3 for Russia, Britain, and Germany
I shot one of these point blank with an HE shell and the ammo detonation blew off my tracks and barrel in a Panther D

Well considering that the SU-100 is at 6.0 with less pen, slower reload rate, and a slower top speed/ turn rate. The only thing that it does better is the armor yet it’s at 6.0 while the IKV is at 4.0. Don’t know what Gaijin was thinking.
Gaijin "You're missing part of your tail. Time for flat spin."
subtitles think that odd is saying 50 cows instead of 50 cals. 🤣
I love the aardvark!
I think the fins might he what catches on stuff since the heatfs has pretty bog finns
i bounced four shells on this tank with a chi nu , i still don't how i probably kept hitting some weird spots (in my defense the dude had a ton load of bushes and i was out of heat shells) was down right mad because i knew that tank had basicly no armor
Hey Odd, i use this boi with the Finnish PT-76 and i can say i enjoy slapping T-34-85's down a hole as i never play at 5.3 because the game cant resist uptiering me :(

I thought I was the only one who thought that the tank destroyers with ridiculous guns and no armor were better at higher BRs. I use my Sturer Emil as a part of my German 5.7 lineup and it performs great. The enemy tanks are slower and bigger, and the games themselves seem to take longer, allowing more time for the ridiculous penetration of the main gun to carve through the frontal armor of enemy tanks like it´s made of paper. The only downside is the reload.
I wonder how many of these I'll see if I play GRB, I usually play arcade and I've only seen 1 so far
I used this thing all the way up to the 7.3 until I had more line ups. I have all the unlock-able camos for it
I like playing the modern tanks everyone once in awhile, but I have the most fun mid-tier and low-tier. More good battles like these two.
