Ive heard that voice alot when i target myself "TARGET MY LOCATION"
3:46 I did not know this was a thing in game, but in real life it makes sense: the warmer air is, the less compact it is. So by having a colder environment the shell will hit more air particles as it travels (slowing it down) compared to warmer environments. (this rule applies to all substances: as they cool down they compress and when they warm up they expand. A perfect example of this are mercury thermometers). Edit: someone below commented about this and it is true; the trajectory is also affected by propellant temperature, since it will burn faster at a warmer environment. Though which if these two if not both are modeled I do not know.

Fun useless fact. Back in Ground forces CBT the shot camera wasn't in little window on the screen but rather a 3D model attached to the actual vehicle. Meaning when you shot a tank you saw your round do module damage in real time as the skeleton damage structure became the 3D model of the actual tank temporarily.
One explanation for 3:45 is that the temperature affects the velocity of the projectile you're shooting. One way it does that is the gunpowder burns a tiny bit slower, slightly decreasing velocity and therefore increasing projectile drop, in the cold environments compared to hot environments.

With that last Easter egg with the artillery being dropped on yourself… you can here that over the radio from other players on your team… since placing artillery DOES leave markers on your mini map where it’s being dropped (so you have no escude when being team killed by it) So if you that Easter egg phrase… just look at the map and you will se the person in need of help.

Great video bro!
The tank directing artillery on itself. I've heard an urban legend of a disabled KV-2 either in the winter war or the continuation war that was disabled by the finnish and started directing artillery with its radio to ontop of itself.
That eye decal on the Aussie tank is cursed.
Personally my favorite voice line is “Directing barrage on me, Repeat, directing barrage on me!”
ive caught Covid-19 like a day or 2 ago and your vids are the thing that helps me thru this tough time ❤❤❤❤
For the different drops in different environments maybe it's because cold air is thicker so the shell goes through more on the way to the target slowing it down faster.
"For Historical accuracy" *Looks at ME163's fighting lightning's, R3T20s clubbing Shermans, the F89D being extremely effective* Yeah.....
To explain the tank shell drop in different maps: that's because of different temperatures and altitude. To further explain: Temperature: air temperature is a measurement of how much the molecules move around. The more they move, the farther apart they are. And with less molecules to push through, there's less air to slow your shell down, resulting in a flatter trajectory at higher temperatures. The same concept also affects the flight performance of planes. Altitude: basically just how high above sea level you are. Air is also affected by gravity. (the atmosphere gets thinner as you go up) Together, these two factors can have an impact on tank shells and aircraft flight performance.
One knowlodge that not many players know about, but, it's possible to stabilize practically every tank in the game, even without a stabilizer, in controls for movement there's "ground vehicle transmission gear up/down (frontwards/backwards), I think by default it's E and Q, and it sets the speed of the tank to slow, medium, and fast, on slow speed you get stabilized, the Tortoise and T95 are stabilized even on medium speed, but some tanks aren't able to stabilize even on slow speed, like the phanter series. But! there's actually a way of stabilizing even those tanks that can't in slow speed, still on controls for movements, there's "Transmission Mode", which changes the way your transmission work, where you manually put what gears it shifts to using E and Q, the panther on slow speed (CC 1) goes to gear 4, changing the transmission mode to manual you can change to gear 3, and be stabilized.
You missed one. On the Hurricane 1b late, there is a Polish Hurricane skin. But the default is identical so if you have the Polish AF insignia you can create it for free
The different maps affecting drop is due to air density from air temperature. A colder environment has denser air and will slow down projectiles ever so slightly more.
I also once heard my commander yelling, “ARTILLERY ON ME! ON ME!
you can also view removed vehicles using the war thunder wiki or market
witht he difference in bullet drop, cold maps have denser air so it slows the round down more than the hotter, thinner air. its pretty cool that they modeled that
I've heard the "target my location" sooo many times
at 7:50, that voice line plays even when using the map arty
I still remember the first time I did that: "Fire over me! I repeat! Fire, over, me!" It was like an epic battle moment I almost teared up. Sadly dont plant to play anymore.
Holy crap I'm in the Reddit post about the Panzer 4 tracks! Yay!
3:42 - In colder environments the air is denser. This means the projectile is using more energy to penetrate the denser air, leading to faster shell velocity drop off. I had no idea this was in the game and is therefore accurate to some extent!
Thanks this was “almost helpful” lol good vid ZoltanSultan
Barometric pressure as well as air pressure due to Altitude changes the drag coefficient due to the changing air density
2:50 the P-38 can do this too, happened to me once
“Almost useful knowledge” *NORMANDY IS THR MOST RELIGIOUS*
the diffrent drop on diffrent maps could be explained with air density, that is graeter when its colder and therefor has more resitens to the shell, therefor the shell drops earlier
Powder burns slower at lower temps which means less oof our barrel. Which means less ground traveled in same amount of time dropped. Which makes drop bigger.
That milk truck had me dying 🤣
7:47 I remember a long time ago I got a unique voice line when I was getting attacked and called artillery which was the commander desperately shouting something like "Requesting artillery on me! I repeat! I need artillery on me!" but I guess they removed that line because I never heard it since.
The artillery voiceline(s!) play when you use the map to put arty down on yourself as well, just needs to be in a certain distance
The rocket booster on the mirage also allows you to pull more AoA because the thrust overall is offset
1:14 The causualness of the causal kaboom.
I remember getting a fuel fire and diving into a river in my IS 1 and still dying to the fire
3:43 I'm no where near being an expert or any form of authority in physics, but that makes sense to me. Seeing as cold air is more dense than warm air, it makes sense that shells fired in colder environments would have a bit more drop, as they have to push through that cold, dense air.
the shell drop is lower on frozen pass when compared to berlin because cold air is denser so the shell encounters more air as it passes ,just wanted to explain :)
You can get the "Target my location!" voiceline by dropping the artillery within a few meters of yourself on the minimap as well, not just using the third person aiming. I think there might even be another voiceline for dropping artillery on yourself saying something like "Artillery on me. Repeat, artillery on me!"
Just to note, the Type 91 SAM found on Type 93 is all-aspect with 4.5km range, or rear aspect at 7km
3:42 probably because of the different air density in different temperatures. Colder air -> higher air density -> more drag
3:45 it is actually very realistic,because of cold air being heavier causing more pressure on the round from the top
@fredh1201
