LAST TANK STANDING - Easy 8 Sherman in War Thunder - OddBawZ
Ойындар
The Easy 8 Sherman in War Thunder is the underdog of 5.7 BR. The M4A3 76 W has a hard time dealing with heavier armoured opponents and with only mobility on its side, it's difficult to use given the situation.
However, the Sherman Easy 8 can be one of the most destructive tools in your arsenal if you know how to play it well. The E8 Sherman is pretty nimble for a Medium Tank but more importantly, it gives a stable firing platform even while on the move. The ability to get the first shot off in a fight is one of the M4 Sherman's strong points and this tank is no different.
The M4A3 (76) W in a downtier is right where it needs to be. It can deal with pretty much any opponent it's up against. The problem is when the 76mm cannon has to face King Tigers and other German tank destroyers that have more armour than even the APCR round can deal with. "Just flank" sometimes is not an option.
The M4A3 (76) W in War Thunder is a tank you don't want to miss but at the same time, in uptiers you are going to suffer unless you understand how to play it.

Thank you for your time and videos Odd. I’ve been going through a really rough time mentally recently, it’s been a downward slope for a while. My life isn’t where it should be at 28, I’ve had mental health issues for a decade, being on and off medication, therapy and counselling. I’m lucky that I have an on/off self employed job but I hate it and I’m terrible at it. Most days I wake up thinking that I wish I hadn’t and that I’m a joke/a burden to my family for being the way I am when there are people with worse situations, which makes things worse. Right now, the only thing that makes me feel a little less anxious are your videos. I know that you’ve had your fair share of mental health battles, and that you’ve been in a similar situation to myself, so thank you for putting your content out for us.

The easy 8 definitely isn't the easiest sherman, but you can exploit it's br. It sits just below the jumbo 76 in br so many players will take a second to eyeball your tank before firing or even back off from the fight. It's not something to bank on, but it makes it more likely that your opponent will make a mistake; although it's real strength comes that it isn't a good tank for it's br so the player really needs to flex their map knowledge and skill (with a little luck) in order to really succeed in that tank. Boy does it feel good to wipe players out while in such a sad br vehicle though.

OMG what a match!! I'm so glad you featured the amazing Easy 8 - I love that tank! I also have the Rice's Red Devils skin. Incredible play, the best match I've ever seen. Thank you so much OddBawz!!!
The Sherman is a severely underrated tank. I feel like most people don't like it because it doesn't play like other tanks that revolve around high mobility, A really good gun, or thick armour. It's just an all-around decent tank that stomps on everything else if someone is in it and knows exactly how to use it. Edit: I thought I'd mention that you almost don't play it like you're in a tank. It almost feels like an aircraft, if that makes sense.
Been almost 2 years and this is still a fantastic game of high tension. Thanks, Oddz, for putting it up and showing off the Easy 8's full potential.
What an absolutely amazing game. Well done, Odd! This is why I love watching your channel.
Holy tank. That was the best game I've ever seen. Great choices of music. Adds the suspence. GG. Imma subscribe.
Bravo lad. Enjoy our likes, that’s sport spirit right there. Although I know it’s unfair that German tanks that are so much better than this are at lower BR but I’m also proud that I’m driving the true chad tanks and statistics show people playing this are truly chads. A round of applause for everyone playing against German 5.7, having less powerful machines but using skills and knowledge to win in the end. Also I edited this, notice how in the end the enemy team is so scared of you that they throw off all the possibilities to win. When the Tiger retreats when it got shot and the pumas are so afraid to even move and shrink to a corner, you know you are the king of this match. Bravo!
Just got here from the Last tank stanting 2 and have to say these videos are just so good and so fun to watch! Thank you OddBawz!
Odd, I have no words. Beyond amazing. Edit: I wanted to eat while watching the video, but the battle was such a Rollercoaster that I stopped eating and got invested in the battle so much. Great stuff odd
