Funny how the earlier design gets the better apfsds ammo

The reason for wt sounds being broken and them getting redone so often is just because the sound leaks out every time its used so it needs to be refilled and like with ink you need to replace it all

Over 50% of my deaths can be attributed to being rushed by vehicles with no engine noise. Most often it’s wheeled vics.

the sound issue is also in air battles, sometimes the enemy's engine doesn't make any noise then when they're below 2km from you the noise suddenly ramp up in volume

"The sounds are so broken...." Don't worry, they're apparently going to be fucking with... I mean changing them again in the coming patch.

Yeah those broken sounds have gotten me killed so much in the last few weeks, the one that had me nearly launch my keyboard into orbit was a tiger 2 just driving around making no sound at all and flanking my squad of 3 because of it. We literally had no clue it was there until i died.

I'd like to see you try the VFM5 and compare it to the XM8

yeh the sound issues are a bit issue, including the times where you can hear a tank coming from your left even tho the tank was coming from the right

I think the Tank Museum in Wyoming has one of these. I don't have a good picture atm, and I wont be back to the museum until next spring, but it's either a CCVL or XM8. Atleast it looks alot like them. Edit: Looked it up, it's the CCVL. The Wikipedia page for the XM8 has the one in Wyoming in it's pictures for it. I went to the original planned opening of the museum back during covid, and alot of the tanks weren't in their current positions yet. Tank Alley back then was just a few armoured vehicles, and when I went the CCVL was sitting next to a Matilda. The Matilda was fairly small compared to tanks like the M60, but was pretty close to the CCVL.

4:22 love the no spalling on the T-80s currently

I'd really like some m56 fotage. It's like a light tank and plays like one as well. Also don't forget that it's max speed is 45 and it reaches it easily.

i love how gaijin cannot solve the engine not making any noise, it's been like 3 or 4 months

Could you do a video about the swedish/norwegian premium leopard 1, it means alot to me because im norwegian. fun fact the tekst that is on the mantlet of the tank is actually the word for "mean". Lovely vid spookston keep it up:)

I personally love vehicles with CITV idk if it’s because grinding through Russia with not only a lack of CITV but also thermals but I love it on every vehicle that gets it. So the ccvl getting it when I don’t think a single MBT at 10.0 does is a great feature.

That 120mm gun (also featured on the M103, AMX-50 120) should basically have performance more in common with second gen APDS just due to the sheer excessive energy in the shell. All american derived AP ammo after WW2 benefited from the research and metallurgy improvements that the T50E1 90mm ammo provided, but the devs of this game don't want to model 'steel quality in ammo' or armor. Haven't seen anyone properly model the difference between old ammo with shitty steel and new ammo with good steel in the various youtube channels that show off ANSYS/whatever simulations, either. Basically russian devs don't want to model something that will make their ammo look worse.

The puma 2.7 and sig (15cm nuke launcher) are fun german tanks for trolling tanks at mid tier

Please try the QF 3.7 Ram tank destroyer, it's fun watching obscure vehicles in combat!

Hey i think driver assistance mode might help with the oversteering, napalm ratte has a video on this .

American military vehicle museum in Wyoming has ccvl/xm8 chassis.

XM-8 should be in the tech tree.

"The same oversteering problem as the XM8" How does a tank _oversteer?!_

So there is distance fuze on unguided rockets for planes now, anyone else tried to use it for air to air combat?

"I literally never use them" thermals 4 clips later I want to climb the American tree but japan is calling my name next. I main Germany though so I didn't know about puma sound issues but I run into it all the time against Russia in top tier.

I need to remind you that the type 60 sprg holds that title

They should have put XM8 on the tech tree after Bradley instead of making it an event vehicle

I actually kind of like the way the CCVL looks. Those smoothed bevels on the hull/turret and back-to-front slope are attractive to me. Granted, it and the XM8 are tall but not very wide which still makes them look a bit goofy.

I think he knows that after playing warthunder for over 7 years.

1:00 I use CITVs only when the gunner optics are either: Too zoomed in, and the commander optics have a better FOV. I use it for target acquisition, then switch to the gunner optics to fire. And/or if the gunner optics have worse thermals than the CITV (such as on the leo 2a5 and 6). And again, use the commander optics for target acquisition and then switch to gunner optics. CITVs aren't really all that useful, but it really depends on the tank, sometimes the CITV can be much better than the gunner optics, and sometimes (such as on the PUMA) they can actually be worse. Just kinda nice to have tho.
